Marquis Vauban [Group Leader]: Major believers can develop among the ghouls. They don’t need to ask for anything. All they need is useless faith, and they can gain the ability to transform into werewolves and eat normal food. I think no ghoul will refuse.

Kaneki: Indeed.

Looking at the messages in the chat group, Kaneki Ken suddenly remembered what Touka had said before, and he couldn't help but feel touched.

They don't want to become ghouls and only be able to feed on human flesh. If they can get rid of the dilemma of only being able to eat humans, it will be a good thing for both humans and ghouls.

As for giving, it is just some faith. It is nothing. After all, they have helped you so much, don’t you even want to give thanks? If you really don’t want to, wouldn’t that be ungrateful?

In this way, both parties benefit and no one suffers.

Kaneki: What should be done specifically? What is the name of the religion? What gods do you believe in? What are the teachings?

Marquis Vauban [Group Leader]: Well... the religion is called Lyceumism, the god's name is Lyceum, there is no doctrine. You just need to know that the god you should believe in is the wolf god, who can give believers the power to transform into werewolves.

[Ding Dong! Marquis Vauban [Group Master] sent a designated red envelope to Kaneki. ]

Kaneki: So monotonous.

Kira: It’s better to be a little more monotonous, so that believers won’t have any messy wishes that would make their faith confusing.

Marquis Vauban [Group Leader]: That’s right, it’s all about quality. The purer the faith, the better.

[Kaneki obtains the power——《Greedy Wolves》, and the curse power——one tenth of Marquis Vauban【The Master of the Group】.]

Kaneki: I see.

Chapter 134 The Taste of Happiness

"I am a light born from darkness. Lyceus, who is as beautiful as the light, please grant me great power!"

In the dark alley under the night, after obtaining the power from Woban - "Greedy Wolves", Kaneki Ken immediately began to experiment. He chanted the Wolf's Holy Verse, consuming 1% of his cursed energy, and his body grew thick gray hair.

Under the astonished gaze of Touka and the store manager, Kaneki Ken transformed into a tall werewolf, and his body continued to grow. In just a breath, he grew to five meters tall.

"Kaneki! It's time to stop!"

Akado warned Kaneki R&D in time.

Kaneki Ken's body paused. Although a beastly nature grew from his heart as he transformed into a werewolf, making him want to vent it, this beastly nature was still suppressed by his willpower.

Being able to tolerate the appetite of the ghouls can naturally restrain the animal nature of the werewolves.

The huge gray werewolf began to shrink, from five meters to three meters, from three meters to two meters, and finally became a 185-centimeter werewolf.

"call--"

The werewolf exhaled forcefully, allowing his body to relax a little.

"Hey! What's wrong with you?"

Touka walked towards Kaneki Ken without any hesitation, put her hands on Kaneki Ken's shoulders, and pulled hard, but failed.

"It's obvious that he has turned into a werewolf." Akado leaned against the wall next to him, feeling very bored.

"Werewolves? Are there really such things? Manager?"

Touka found it hard to believe, but the form displayed by Kaneki Ken clearly had nothing to do with ghouls, so she subconsciously looked at the store manager.

"Well... although I have never heard of monsters like werewolves in reality. But, Touka, didn't you just say that this Mr. Accardo is the king of vampires?" The store manager looked at Kaneki Ken in surprise and asked Touka back.

"I'm talking about anime characters. There are no such magical creatures in real life." Dong Xiang complained.

"Well, aren't ghouls also magical? Ghouls and the like."

Kaneki Ken took a step back, letting Touka's right hand fall from his shoulder, and whispered.

"Ghouls are creatures whose cells are different from those of ordinary people. It's very scientific. They are not the same as vampires and werewolves."

Touka glared at Kaneki Ken and said sternly.

"Tell me! What's going on?"

"Uh... do you believe in God?" Kaneki Ken organized his words and asked in a stiff tone.

"God? What do you think? If gods exist, will they allow ghouls like us to exist?"

Touka's expression became extremely cold, and Kaneki Ken also realized that ghouls would not believe in the existence of gods.

"If I say that I was blessed by the gods to become a werewolf, would you believe me?"

Kaneki Ken hesitated for a moment, then returned from werewolf to human form and asked Touka.

Touka looked at Kaneki Ken as if he was a fool and did not answer.

"Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth. The god named Lykeos took pity on my situation and granted me the ability to transform into a werewolf, move freely underground, ignore attacks from light and heat, summon wolves without limit, and transform other people into werewolves... Moreover, after transforming into a werewolf, I can eat normal food."

Kaneki Ken looked a little embarrassed, but he still spoke out the remarks he had made up in the chat group in an orderly manner.

"what are you saying?"

Touka's pupils shrank, and she stretched out her hand to grab Kaneki Ken's collar. Kaneki Ken subconsciously took two steps back and nimbly avoided Touka's palm.

The store manager's expression also became serious. It didn't matter whether he was a god or not, and it didn't matter what the werewolf's abilities were. The key was that he could eat normal food.

"Anyway, that's what the god Lyceos told me." Being stared at by two pairs of passionate eyes, Kaneki Ken said nervously.

"I see... Please follow me."

The manager hesitated for less than three seconds, then gave Kaneki Ken a gentle smile and made an invitation.

Kaneki Ken did not refuse. After all, in order to develop faith for Woban, he had to at least find local "people" first. The store manager and Touka were acquaintances and did not look like bad people. He could first recommend them and then spread the business to the surrounding areas with the cafe as the center.

However, before leaving, Kaneki Ken turned his head and looked at Akado. He didn't know how to arrange this senior in the group.

"Do you have money on you?" Noticing Kaneki Ken's gaze, Akado walked over and asked.

"Oh, yes, I brought it." Kaneki Ken quickly took out 20,000 or 30,000 yen from his pocket and handed it to Akado.

"I'm going to visit this era and then leave. You can do whatever you want and don't worry about me." Akado took the money without hesitation, stuffed it into his pocket, turned around and walked through the wall, as if walking through a layer of water curtain, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The faces of the store manager, Touka, and Kaneki Ken suddenly changed. Whether it was a werewolf or a ghoul, it was still a physical change that could be explained by genetic mutation. But what Acardo was doing was totally beyond scientific explanation.

"Vampires, werewolves, gods... Could it be..." The store manager whispered solemnly. Akado, who passed through the wall, completely changed his worldview. He had some doubts before, but now he is not sure.

While Akado was wandering on the streets of the 21st century, the manager brought Kaneki Ken back to the coffee shop. Kaneki Ken found a seat and sat down with ease, while Touka went into the kitchen and took out a plate of cake and a plate of cookies.

"Now, eat."

Placing the cake and cookies in front of Kaneki Ken, Touka said coldly, but her eyes were very turbulent.

The store manager was making coffee not far away, but his attention was also attracted by Kaneki Ken.

Take a deep breath, and then transform. Immediately, a werewolf that is almost the same size as a human appears on the seat.

Kaneki Ken, who had transformed into a werewolf, had his hands turned into claws, so his movement to pick up the fork was not smooth. It took him five or six seconds to hold the fork steadily, pick up the cake, and bring it to his mouth.

Looking at the cake so close at hand, Kaneki Ken recalled what happened before.

No matter whether it is hamburgers, bread, potato chips, fruits or drinks, once it enters the mouth, it will be extremely difficult to swallow and the mouth will be full of fishy smell. Even if you force it into the stomach, you will vomit out the food due to physiological rejection.

We must return to normal!

Kaneki Ken shouted in his heart and stuffed the cake into his mouth.

Touka and the store manager both stopped what they were doing and stared at Kaneki Ken intently.

In an instant, Kaneki Ken's eyes widened, and his already terrifying face became even more hideous. Tears flowed silently, soaking the gray hair on his face.

"It's edible! It's really edible! It's so wonderful! It's so delicious! Is this the taste of happiness?"

The next moment, Kaneki Ken cried out, chewing the cake hard and making indistinct sighs.

For the first time, he realized that eating cake could be such a happy thing.

Chapter 135: Ghoul Savior

After eating a portion of cake and a plate of cookies, Kaneki Ken was still not full. After all, he had been hungry for so many days. The manager and Touka generously took out all the desserts stored in the store and served them to Kaneki Ken.

"Burp! I'm full."

Only after he had finished all the coffee shop's supplies did Kaneki Ken put down his knife and fork, burped, and said with satisfaction.

"Then, let's change back and see." Hearing this, the store manager pondered for a few seconds and spoke.

"Okay." Kaneki Ken nodded and simply changed back into human form.

"vomit!"

Then, Kaneki Ken suddenly showed a bitter face, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis, and couldn't help feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit.

"Water! Give me water!"

Kaneki Ken shouted with difficulty while retching. The store manager immediately poured a glass of water and handed it to Kaneki Ken.

Kaneki Ken took the cup of water and rinsed his mouth with clean water, but his mouth still smelled fishy, ​​so he dropped the cup and went straight into the kitchen of the cafe. He put his mouth to the faucet and rinsed his mouth for half a minute before he felt a little better.

"As expected, after becoming a werewolf, the body structure also changes, so it can eat human food and obtain nutrition. However, once it turns back into a ghoul, the body structure will also change back, and the food left in the mouth will cause rejection. However, since it didn't spit out all of it, it means that the werewolf's digestive ability is very strong and has turned the food into nutrition, so it won't cause rejection by the body."

The manager stood at the kitchen door, looking at Kaneki Ken's weak appearance, his eyes involuntarily glowed red, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself.

Although they cannot eat openly like real humans, this alone is the salvation of ghouls.

"Kaneki, can you explain in detail about the god Lykeus you mentioned earlier?" The store manager asked Kaneki Ken almost pleadingly with a sharp gaze and an inability to keep calm.

"Of course, that god is made up of light born from darkness and the earth. His appearance is the darkness of the night, and his essence is darkness and loneliness. He is the sun born from the darkness underground. His real name is Lykeos, the wolf god that symbolizes the sun." Kaneki Ken looked at the specific instructions in the chat group distractedly and carefully relayed them to the store manager and Touka.

"Wait! Are you talking about Apollo, the sun god? Lykeos is another name for Apollo and Zeus, but if it involves the sun, then it can only be Apollo." Touka suddenly interrupted Kaneki Ken and asked in surprise.

"Uh... no, that god was originally Lykeos, the wolf of the earth who possessed the boon of the sun. Apollo was a myth created for him by the ancient Greeks when they saw him."

Kaneki Ken paused for a moment, then quickly asked Woban in the chat group how to respond to Touka's question, and Woban, who had already prepared a draft in his mind, immediately gave a response.

The name of the godhead cannot be Apollo, otherwise it would add a false divinity to the godhead, which would not match the power of the greedy wolves. For those gods who rely on faith, it doesn't matter, but it will increase their authority. But for Vobane, it will do more harm than good. Therefore, it can only be Lyceos, the god of wolves.

"…Lykeus is the only true god. He can grant his people the Mark of the Wolf, transforming them into werewolves. With the protection of the sun and the earth, they can move freely underground and ignore the damage of light and heat…Lykeus lamented the conflict between humans and ghouls, and gave me the authority of the Pope. He allowed me to establish the Lykeus religion and grant the Mark of the Wolf to ghouls who join the religion to resolve the conflict between humans and ghouls…"

Kaneki Ken tried hard to introduce Lykeos to the store manager and Touka. Although his eloquence was not very good, he was sincere enough.

"Although it sounds like..." Dong Xiang stopped talking. It was okay to say blasphemous words before, but now it is better to be cautious. "But if what you said is true, I am willing to join the sect."

"I am also willing to join the church." The store manager stepped forward and asked carefully, "But before that, I want to know what it will take for us to join the church?"

"You don't need anything. Just be grateful to the god Lykeus, and promote the Lykeus religion, and let all ghouls join the Lykeus religion. That's all." Kaneki Ken waved his hands quickly and spoke.

"Oh? I see. I see."

Dong Xiang crossed her arms over her chest, and immediately reacted. To the gods, it seemed that the only thing humans could offer was incense, and other wealth was meaningless.

"In that case, let me go first. Pope Kaneki, please grant me the Mark of the Wolf." The store manager pondered for a few seconds, nodded as if he had realized something, walked past Touka and said to Kaneki Ken.

"Ok."

Kaneki Ken responded without hesitation, stretched out his right hand and placed it on the back of the manager's hand. When he raised his hand, a wolf-shaped mark appeared on the skin on the back of the manager's hand.

"All right."

Is that so straightforward? As expected, he is still a child. Even if he has become a ghoul and has been favored by the gods, he is still too immature. It seems that I have to take better care of him in the future.

The store manager couldn't help but be stunned. He sighed in his heart and turned his gaze to the wolf mark on the back of his hand.

The next moment, the store manager changed from a human form into a werewolf with silver hair standing upright. He took two steps in the kitchen, jumped lightly, stretched his body, then opened the refrigerator, took out a box of cheese for making milk tea and cakes, and ate it directly.

"It's edible."

After taking a few bites, savoring the taste of the cheese and suppressing his rising appetite, the manager placed the cheese on the table next to him and gave Dongxiang a look, indicating that Dongxiang could accept the Wolf Mark.

At least, he didn't find any harm to the body from the Wolf Mark.

Touka understood immediately and simply stretched out her right hand to Kaneki Ken. Kaneki Ken placed his palm on the back of Touka's hand and used the Greedy Wolves to carve the Wolf's Mark for Touka.

Touka immediately experimented with the werewolf's body, ate up the remaining cheese, and looked at Kaneki Ken with a better look. At the same time, there was a little more jealousy in her eyes towards Kaneki Ken.

It had only been a few days since he became a ghoul, when he first had the opportunity to become a vampire and then received the blessing of the gods. He seemed like a child of destiny, and whenever he was wronged, all the compensations came immediately.

"Well, Kaneki, you must be tired after going through so many things. Go back and rest first. Come to the cafe again tomorrow morning to discuss the sect's matters." The manager rinsed his mouth, cleaned the food residue in his mouth, then returned to his human form and said to Kaneki Ken.

"Okay, bye."
