Hearing that this strange woman wanted to use her to force Xia Fan to hurt himself, she was so anxious that tears came out of the corners of her eyes, but she was unable to control her body at all.

"Just breaking your limbs?"

"Well, let's start with the left hand..."

Xia Fan slowly stretched out his left hand and raised the black telescopic stick with his right hand, shining brightly under the spotlight...

"Oh? It seems that this woman means more to you than I thought."

Watching Xia Fan's movements anxiously, a happy smile returned to Ji Zi's face.

The moment the iron rod was chopped down at him, Xia Fan pulled his hand away flexibly, and his forearm passed by the iron rod by a hair's breadth.

His right foot quietly kicked towards a huge spotlight beside him...

The spotlight was pointed straight at Jizi, and the strong white light that was originally used as fill light on the side of the stage engulfed her vision!

"Ugh!!!"

As if he was hit by a flash bomb, all that was left in Ji Zi's vision was a vast expanse of white. His eyes, filled with tears, closed uncontrollably.

"You're going to regret this, little brat!"

She screamed with resentment, and pinched Yayoi Tsuki's snow-white neck fiercely with her fingers...

"Click..."

Some kind of metal stick-like object was inserted into her fingers accurately and smoothly, positioning itself perfectly between her nails and Yayoi Tsuki's neck.

"I'm sorry, young master. If I accept your threat, I will regret it."

Xia Fan's cold voice, accompanied by the violent sound of breaking wind, sounded close at hand.

"..."

Before he could regain his sight, a strong fear of death enveloped Jizi...

"Wow..."

Her body collapsed to the ground without hesitation...

In the center of the stage, Xia Fan used the telescopic stick in his hand to slash at a ball of translucent human-shaped liquid, causing water to splash everywhere!

"Just a little bit, you reacted really quickly."

"Yayoi...are you okay...hold on a little longer..."

He gnashed his teeth in displeasure, stretched out his hand to catch the falling Yayoi Tsukishiro, and helplessly watched the liquids gather like living things and disappear under the stage...

"Damn heresy."

Ji Zi's naked, plump and delicate body with black scales and white skin appeared in the audience again, and she looked at Xia Fan on the stage with an embarrassed look.

The Amabie Scale was ineffective, and she and her group of fanatics were no match for Xia Fan in a head-on battle...

Xia Fan, with Yayoi Tsuki, had no way to deal with Ji Zi, whose body could liquefy at any time and was immune to physical attacks.

The situation came to a stalemate, neither of them moved or spoke, their minds were rapidly thinking about how to win.

In the studio, for a moment, the only sounds were the wailing of the believers.

"What... is that so... I will obey the oracle!"

As if he heard something, Ji Zi's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then with a resolute look, he reached down...

"Can you actually... still put it like this..."

As Xia Fan's pupils trembled, the other party took out a scroll from between his legs.

"My dearest family members, my people who believe in Amabie, no matter how strong the heresy is, you can never stop the Lord God from appearing in the world..."

"Because this is what the prophecy has already predicted will happen!"

Speaking solemnly, Jizi unfolded the scroll...

"The gods have sent down new oracles, granting you supreme glory. With your blood fused and your soul transcendent, you will be thrown into the arms of Lord Amabie!"

"k'yarnak uh'e'..."

Her silver teeth bit through her red lips, and blood flowed out of her mouth along with syllables that did not sound like human language.

"k'yarnak uh'e'..."

After hearing Jizi's words, the believers who fell to the ground, no matter if they had broken bones or were bleeding, but were still conscious, their expressions changed from pain to piety and tranquility...

The voices of dozens of people chanting in layers echoed in the dark rain-like fog studio, gradually turning into a language that Xia Fan could understand...

"Hidden is the master of the plague, rising from sleepy eyes, and the mortals fleeing..."

"The ancestor of the plague of the Gwanghae, the mermaid of the end of time, will disperse the frost of your disease and make this place and that place clean."

"Men of the Amabie, come and feast for your god!"

He instinctively sensed that some supernatural power was beginning to boil in the air.

"This seems to be some kind of bad spell?"

"Should we stop it? But..."

Xia Fan's cold eyes swept across the devoutly praying disciples and fanatics, as well as the victims who fell to the ground...

"It's too late. The ceremony is only one step away..."

"With this broken body, I respectfully welcome the gods to appear in the world!"

At the same time, at the end of the prayer, Ji Zi raised his head and looked at Xia Fan deeply.

"With this broken body, I welcome Amabie!"

"With this broken body, I welcome Amabie!"

"With this broken body, I welcome Amabie!"

Those believers shouted fanatically, grabbed the weapons they had used against Xia Fan, and fired at themselves as if they were committing suicide...

Some people who didn't have any weapons at hand even started to ram into the tables, chairs, walls, and the ground...

The breath of life quickly disappeared, and blood gushed out of their bodies, as if pulled by some strange force, gathering and flowing on the ground, quickly forming some kind of huge crimson pattern.

"This is a formation?"

The scene of the fanatic committing suicide and the blood pooling was so stunning that even Xia Fan, who was wearing the "Kazama Manyo" mask, was stunned for a moment.

"This is the Blood Sacrifice Formation..."

Beside me, a voice with a childish tone and simple intonation sounded.

"This 'Amabie' is the 'Great God' that faces believers in his true form. As long as there is enough faith, it is easy to sacrifice the flesh and blood of believers to forge a living body."

Tian Yushen, dressed in a black kimono, stood quietly beside Xia Fan.

"Even the gods were alarmed. It seems that this Amabie is not simple."

Xia Fan stared at the huge crimson formation that was wriggling like a living thing under the supply of blood, and said calmly.

"I'm just a little curious about what this ugly thing really looks like."

Amagami sat down at the edge of the stage with an expressionless face, her crystal clear bare feet swaying leisurely in the air, like a leisurely girl admiring cherry blossoms in spring.

[God has given us faith: conquer 'Amabie' and eliminate heresy to prove your power. Upon completion, you will receive God's blessing.]

At the same time, a "divine oracle" sounded in Xia Fan's heart.

"Hey, this seems to be the first time that I agree so much with the oracle I received."

With a half-smile on his lips, Xia Fan looked past the already formed formation and landed on Ji Zi who was still chanting the spell devoutly...

While the two were talking, a black energy like the surface of water emerged in the center of the bloody blood formation, with stars shining in it.

"This... black ocean... the endless surge of light..."

"It is just as the prophecy says. With the blood of believers as a formation and a sufficiently pious spell, we can connect to that place..."

"The Endless Sea of ​​Light... the divine domain where Lord Amabie resides, a holy place where believers gather once in a lifetime..."

Seeing the black sea surface with dancing light spots, Ji Zi's tears rolled down his eyes and he knelt down excitedly and devoutly.

"Oh!"

Xia Fan, holding a long stick, appeared behind her without her noticing, and hit her back with the stick fiercely...

"Uh ah... a futile action. Your attack has no effect on me."

"The formation is complete, the gods have appeared and no one can stop them, yet you are still stubborn and stubborn..."

The heavy blow touched his body, and Jizi let out a bitter roar, and his body liquefied and accumulated energy again...

"Of course my attack didn't work, but this should work."

Having anticipated her reaction, Xia Fan had already picked up a huge foam box with his other hand and poured the blocky substance emitting white smoke from it onto Ji Zi.

“Hiss… It’s so cold… Ahaha… Ahhhhh…”

White smoke spread out, and Jizi seemed to be stimulated by something violent, and he gasped unbearably...

Her body, which had not yet completely liquefied, began to solidify into translucent ice under the cover of those white blocks.

"Now let's see who is doing this in vain..."

With a disdainful smile, Xia Fan picked up another foam box and poured out the lumps in it as if they were free, submerging Ji Zi's body...

From the beginning of the fight, he was thinking about how to deal with Jizi's liquefied ability that could ignore physical attacks and appear out of nowhere...

Until just now, he saw several large boxes of dry ice stacked next to the dry ice atomizer on the side of the stage...

The temperature of dry ice is minus 78.5 degrees Celsius. As long as there is enough dry ice, it can freeze liquid instantly.

"What is this...what did you do to me..."

As he expected, at this moment, Jizi was under a mountain of dry ice, his body completely frozen into an ice stick and he had lost the ability to move.

"boom!"

At the same time, in the center of the formation where blood was constantly pouring into, a huge arm with a diameter of two meters and covered with black armor suddenly broke through the black sea surface and stretched out ferociously into the air!

The huge scales stood up slightly, resembling fish scales or feathers, with a dazzling luster.

The nails, as sharp as long knives, collided in the air and made a sharp sonic boom.

A violent will spread out from the formation, sweeping across the entire studio...

The few people who still managed to maintain a trace of consciousness fainted when faced with the pressure from the higher-ups.

"No, you don't understand..."

"The passage between the divine realm and the human world has been opened. Lord Amabie has completed his divine body and will once again become a human god in the human world..."

Looking up at the giant black arm with its ferocious long claws stretched out in the air, Ji Zi's half face shrouded in white mist showed a dazed and pious look.

"As long as people believe in Him, they will be free from the suffering of disease forever..."

……

Twenty years ago, Kumamoto Prefecture.

"Toyama Kyoko, your mother's renal failure has reached the fourth stage. The only hope for recovery is a kidney transplant..."

"Although the national health insurance can cover the cost of the surgery, it is impossible to get a matching kidney through the channels of a public hospital in a short period of time..."

"If your family's financial situation allows, you can consider going to a private hospital, which will be much faster."

In the shabby hospital ward, the middle-aged doctor examined the medical record in his hand and stated in a calm tone.

"Private hospital... our family can't afford such fees..."

"Doctor, can you help me and think of other solutions? Dad is gone. If Mom is gone too..."

The girl in the tattered white dress lowered her head, her slender fingers weakly stirring the hem of her skirt.

The National Health Insurance in District 11 was originally established with the goal of "enabling all citizens to receive medical services with confidence."

But in reality, valuable medical resources such as excellent doctors, blood organs, etc. are all monopolized by private hospitals. Public hospitals are useless public products where "minor illnesses are difficult to make appointments for, and major illnesses cannot be cured." The original intention of national health insurance has also become a joke.
