With a surge of invisible energy, Barbara vanished from the spot.
At this moment...
"..."
Ying suddenly felt that perhaps she shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.
Because, right now, Artemis, sitting motionless in place, has a... well, a little scary quality.
After a while...
"Ying, may I call you that?"
Artemis suddenly asked this question, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.
But it doesn't look good no matter how you look at it.
Because, before Ying could even respond...
“I know that Orion is not from this world. According to your previous introduction, she is a ‘genshin’ from another world.”
“But she has a summoning contract with you, and I believe that this ‘connection’ will not be broken by the barriers of the world.”
"So, the only remaining obstacle between her and me is..."
The pure goddess of the room stared directly at her silly little sister, "Wind God - Barbatos."
"Could you tell me about this 'otherworldly deity'?"
"I want to know, what kind of being is He whom Orion so devoutly worships?"
"..."
At this moment, Ying inexplicably felt a strong sense of hostility... or rather... jealousy?
Fortunately, this 'negative attitude' wasn't directed at him personally.
then……
"The wind god Barbatos, he was a rather 'free' god... well, incredibly 'free' in every sense of the word..."
Sorry, this is some weirdo who doesn't do anything productive.
I'm really sorry to have inexplicably given you an opponent who is also skilled in 'archery'.
Weak, pitiful, and helpless... but also particularly despicable and cowardly, this silly little sister decides to submit to the evil forces in front of her.
She felt that it was best for a mere mortal like herself not to get involved in such a "battle of the gods".
At worst, we can just say more nice things.
such as:
"That wind god was the founder of Barbara's hometown, Mondstadt. In order to provide his people with a comfortable living environment, he forcibly changed the climate of the snowy mountains, blowing away all the harsh cold..."
Another example:
"Even when he was exhausted, Barbatos still transformed into a bard and thwarted the evil deeds and conspiracies of some despicable nobles who were tyrannical, domineering and oppressive to the people."
Look how magnificent...
"So, He's become weaker now, is that right?"
"?"
Ying was stunned for a moment.
Wait, Artemis, what are you trying to do?
Chapter 151 You Don't Know a Fist
Inside the large tent, Artemis asked Ying many questions about 'Barbatos'.
Undoubtedly, initially, this goddess only sought to understand the wind god because Barbara worshipped him, and thus she had her own 'special purpose' in doing so.
However, as related topics continue to develop...
"This must be the kind of 'great' deity that children (beings from the lower realms) think of."
The moon goddess, who is in charge of 'purity', gradually came to understand... why the 'Orion' she had chosen would so devoutly believe in this otherworldly deity.
Ultimately...
"He is a being worthy of respect."
Even though he's used to getting away with being cute, he's always slacking off.
Even if he's an unreliable drunkard?
Ying occasionally mentioned the shortcomings of 'Barbatos'.
but……
Isn't this a 'normal' thing?
Artemis remained calm. "Humans have such flaws, so why can't 'gods' have them too?"
"You (the beings of the lower realms) seem to have a bit too high a demand on 'God'... You yourselves may not even be able to do it, yet you demand that 'God' must do it?"
"But this is something you 'actually could do,' you just chose not to do."
Uh... indeed.
What Artemis is referring to here is actually the principle of 'Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you'.
Simply 'not slacking off' is something any human can do; it doesn't need the prefix 'god'.
Therefore, rather than saying that 'humans' have high demands on 'God', it is more accurate to say that 'oneself' has high demands on 'others'.
This is probably what is meant by the terrible quality of being 'lenient with oneself'.
and……
Without comparison, there is no harm.
Looking at the bunch of 'funnis' inside Orario who are really 'idle and have nothing better to do'... I suddenly realized that a certain 'hey monster' is actually quite 'dedicated'.
After all, his 'wind' has always been protecting the entire Mondstadt region.
To put it more seriously, Barbatos was essentially working in '007' mode for thousands of years.
For such a 'diligent' deity, what is there to complain about even if he occasionally slacks off or drinks heavily?
In short, Ying realized this when the topic of conversation officially ended.
Previously, it wasn't so much that Artemis was jealous of some weirdo... well, she was definitely jealous.
But that's not the key point.
The real reason she started asking Ying about the 'God of Wind' was because of her concern for 'Orion'.
Gods have their own way of thinking and their own perspective.
Artemis knew very well that there was no shortage of 'evil gods' in the heavens, the mortal realm, or even other worlds.
For example: those who use high-sounding rhetoric to deceive others into making donations so that they can profit from it.
For example: simply a bastard with a terrible personality who doesn't value his life.
She confirmed that Barbara possessed a pure and flawless soul, even acknowledged by the 'Arrow of Orion'.
So even if she was the 'latecomer,' she didn't want such a good child to be deceived by a possible 'evil god.'
After a brief conversation with Ying, Artemis at least tentatively confirmed that:
Barbatos is clearly not in this category.
but……
"Even if it is such a venerable otherworldly deity, I will not admit defeat."
"..."
Well, this moon goddess, who has been shouldering a heavy burden recently to prevent the destruction of the lower realm, has clearly been aroused with an extremely strong competitive spirit.
In Ling Shu's view...
"As long as it's not the kind of malicious person who likes to play tricks and schemes, and it's just 'healthy competition'... what's wrong with that?"
Cough cough, he would never admit that he didn't want to get involved in this kind of troublesome 'battle of the gods'.
Absolutely not.
******
It was more than two hours later when Ying and Artemis finished their conversation.
Next, according to the draft plan formulated by Ling Shu, he planned to have Ying contact Grace and others, and then share some important intelligence with the latter group.
After all, when the "Black and White Swords" team entered the "Great Tree Sea" and returned severely injured, with Hegni, at level 6, even losing an arm... that already implicitly revealed an extremely unfortunate fact—
"The danger level of the ancient monster 'Secret Realm Scorpion' has far exceeded the clumsy performance I saw in 'DanMachi: The Movie' before I traveled through time."
Therefore, calling on more helpers to cooperate is an inevitable and feasible strategy.
at the moment……
"Mr. Hegney."
As soon as Ying stepped out of the tent where her family was staying, she saw the silver-haired black elf still guarding one side.
The previously incredibly annoying Hermes is no longer here.
Based on Yingmei's deduction, the latter should have been kicked out.
Otherwise, when I was talking to Artemis about 'Barbatos', this god of fun would definitely have overheard me.
Now...
"Excuse me, where has Mr. Hedin gone?"
Ying asked casually.
She felt that if anyone could drive away that mischievous god, the best choice would probably be the [White Demon Wand].
Given that seemingly refined blond-haired white elf's volatile temper, even Hermes would probably have to give him a wide berth.
