You say this is a love game?

"And the Great Disaster Tsujiri God is a god created from the filth of the dead."

"If we must choose a monster as an embryo, then Nue is definitely the best carrier for the Great Goddess of Destruction."

Furuya Ruriko said.

and many more.

After hearing so much, Mizutani Makoto couldn't help but ask:

"God, can it be hatched?"

“…Perhaps.”

Furuya Ruriko showed a complicated expression.

She whispered:

"Lord Mizutani, when you reach the limit of your powerful rank, you will be faced with a choice... whether to remain human or to obtain the 'wedge' and ascend to seek greater power."

"The 'wedge' leading to the fierce level is the embodiment of legends."

"And speaking of legends constructed by humans, the most profound realm...isn't it 'mythology'?"

"Of course, while there have always been those who speculate that the 'Divine Name' can be used as a wedge of the highest order to usurp the throne of a mythical deity, in reality, no one has ever truly accomplished this... Even the most famous Onmyoji in history only managed to reach the extreme end of the Fierce Rank after devoting their entire lives."

Monsters and gods are all "legends" woven by humans.

If humans can reach the level of evil with the legends of monsters, can they reach the level of madness with the legends of gods?

Mizutani Makoto couldn't help but say, "Then the gods we worship..."

"Mister Mizutani, not all gods have been born yet."

Furuya Ruriko seemed to see his confusion.

"Gods have descended into the human world since ancient times, but these arrivals were mostly irregular... There are many powerful gods whose existence remains only in legends, yet their beliefs still linger in the world."

"Just like the Great God of War hiding in the cracks now... He was also created from mythology for the first time and descended into this world."

"We can be sure that only when a certain god descends, that god possesses 'uniqueness'."

In other words, the "divine names" belonging to the gods are all different.

From ancient times to the present, many gods have emerged from mythology to protect humans and fight against monsters, but during this period, there was no precedent for mortals to ascend to the throne of God. The existing gods today were all born from mythology with their own names.

As a shrine maiden serving the gods, Furuya Ruriko has great respect for the gods, but she has no scruples when it comes to talking about the true nature of the gods.

She is a witch who knows what gods are, but still serves them devoutly.

Since ancient times, gods and humans have coexisted. There are evil gods who bring disaster to the world, but there are also good gods who protect humans and guide them to slay demons and maintain order.

Inari Daimyojin is the god who protects mankind's harvest, and Furuya Ruriko's respect for him comes from the heart.

At this point, the story of Furuya Ruriko's life has basically been told.

Being targeted by the young god... Although the Great God of Tsurugi has not yet officially hatched, it is by no means an ordinary fierce rank. Even a shadow can kill the shrine maiden who broke into this place. If it is completely hatched into a complete god, its rank will be "mad".

...The shadow is the most evil, the real body may be the most evil, and the complete body is crazy?

After learning the level of the previous dungeon boss from Furuya Ruriko, Mizutani Makoto's eyes almost popped out.

Tongzi, you fucking novice village!

This is really new and handy.

Mizutani Makoto cleared his messy thoughts and continued to ask:

"Who was that god who came to the rift three years ago?"

What exactly happened three years ago?

But in the face of Mizutani Makoto's confusion, Furuya Ruriko just shook her head.

She hesitated for a long time, and finally said softly:

"sun."

"That god gives me the feeling of the sun."

In Shinto mythology, there is actually only one god who symbolizes the sun.

"But as far as I know, that goddess has never descended into the human world...so I'm not sure of her name."

Mizutani Makoto completely revealed the expression of a child watching his father.

Nima.

A small novice copy... No?

According to Furuya Ruriko, a god once set foot here.

At first, he was just an ordinary-looking student, a stranger who had strayed into the cracks.

But as a little demon pounced in front of it, its aura suddenly expanded, as warm as the sun and as scorching as the sun.

He drew out a ray of light, or perhaps a sword, from nothingness. The divine egg symbolizing the Great God of Oozu rose into the sky from under the cherry tree, but was cut off by his sword, and the entire crack was split open.

If the God's Egg had not yet survived, the crack would have collapsed long ago.

At that time, the remaining soul of Furuya Ruriko was watching all this in shock. She did not understand this sudden war between gods, and was even more deeply shocked by the solar aura on the goddess.

As for Furuya Ruriko's offense against the goddess...

“That was me reaching out to stop Him.”

"...?"

"At that time, the God's Egg hadn't been completely destroyed. I knelt on the ground and begged Him to completely quell the disaster here and save Night Light City. But the goddess didn't care at all and just walked past me..."

"That won't work. Even if the God's Egg is severely injured, no one in Night Lantern City can stop it. Once the God's Egg recovers and strikes again, Night Lantern City will still be destroyed by this disaster, and hundreds of thousands of people will lose their lives."

"I can't just ignore this outcome..."

So, when the god was about to leave without caring about the safety of hundreds of thousands of people, Furuya Ruriko reached out and grabbed his wrist tightly.

Mizutani Makoto: “……!”

The witch, who was supposed to serve the gods wholeheartedly and follow the gods' laws, disobeyed the gods' wishes and even reached out to the gods' noble body to grab the gods who were about to leave.

This is no longer a question of whether it is a tiger or not.

You know, this god is not Inari Daimyojin, and has no relationship with Furuya Ruriko at all...

This is a complete act of usurpation. No wonder it is considered an "offense" and no wonder it will bring about "punishment."

What a cruel witch.

But while Mizutani Makoto was still sighing, Furuya Ruriko dropped an even more shocking piece of information.

"That god is going to die."

There was nothing too mysterious about it. The god just turned around, and for the first time, Furuya Ruriko's gaze passed through the light on the god's face and caught a glimpse of the god's face.

The moment I saw that face, I naturally had this "epiphany" - He was going to die.

His life was coming to an end.

The shrine maiden Furuya Ruriko's offense against the gods was an act of presumptuous and presumptuous behavior, and her disrespect for the gods was a glimpse of the gods' impending death.

She saw things she shouldn't have seen, so she was deprived of her eyes.

She pleaded guilty and accepted the punishment.

And the god also granted the hope she prayed for and placed "hope" here.

And in the end, this "hope" was obtained by Makoto Mizutani.

"Lord Mizutani, please save this city."

If the complete form of the Great Huojin Sun God were to descend upon the world, it would inevitably bring endless disasters to Night Light City...even one part of that "disaster" would be the condition for the complete arrival of the Huojin Sun God.

Just like the corresponding "legend".

After revealing all the truth to Mizutani Makoto, the shrine maiden lowered her head deeply.

And does Mizutani Makoto Mogami have the ability to solve this problem?

She doesn't know either.

However, "hope" indeed lies in Makoto Mizutani.

This gap made Furuya Ruriko feel deeply uneasy.

Someone is creating gods, and even the Nue she faces is obviously being manipulated... This is something that countless heroes and great men in ancient times have failed to accomplish. Is someone really trying to cross the dividing line between humans and gods?

Would that be a good thing?

No, for humanity, if the barrier between humans and God were to be broken, it would definitely not be a good thing. On the contrary, it would be an era of true loss of hope...

What was about to happen had to be stopped.

"As for this school building, Mr. Mizutani, please go to the bottom floor. That god has been there before, and he might be able to help you."

After seeing through Yajimazu's purpose, Mizutani Makoto felt confused.

Ookujin Hikami, a goddess suspected to be Amaterasu...

He stood in front of the stairs on the basement floor of the school building, looked back at Furuya Ruriko who was still bound in the school building as "punishment", and felt a buzzing pain in his head.

Tongzi, you'd better not let me really fight at the Berserker level.

This is no longer just the hero Guda going out, this is running into the incarnation of the Fire King when he goes out.

Just a chicken feather.

At this time, Mizutani Makoto remembered Miyamizu Inaba's suggestion again.

He understood Miss Gong's desire to explore the cracks.

It seems that what he said at the beginning about waiting for a few days was completely correct. The disaster caused by this gap has far exceeded everyone's ability. The best way now is to organize all the information and see if he can get the matter to the Tokyo headquarters through Akihiro Nishida.

No matter how slow they are, Tokyo Headquarters cannot remain unresponsive when it comes to disasters involving gods.

Mizutani Makoto thought so.

He took out the Kagura Hokorin from his arms and threw it on the tree roots on the underground floor. Looking at the 48-hour countdown that popped up, he couldn't help but sigh.

Just leave Kagura Hokorin here and we can quickly end the live broadcast.

This line of Nishida Akiyuki must be pushed to the Tokyo headquarters as soon as possible...

But at this moment.

Mizutani Makoto suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

"call--!!"

He turned around immediately, but only saw a blurry figure flying out from his shadow.

Enemy attack? !

Mizutani Makoto didn't expect to be attacked in the school building. He had no sword at hand to fight back, so he immediately blocked it with his arms. Chidorimaru beside him also burst out with strong thunder in an instant, and the surging lightning immediately submerged the area near the stairs.

Mizutani Makoto's figure tumbled out from the school corridor, lightning exploding behind him, like a divine punishment.

He should have been struck by Chidorimaru's thunder, but at that moment, he entered the posture of summoning gods, and the body of "Heavenly Tribulation" suddenly appeared, blocking and absorbing all the thunder and lightning released by Chidorimaru!

He did not stop, and took advantage of the turbulent air flow to quickly leave the building. By the time he grasped Chidorimaru, he had already stood firmly.

Under the night sky, dozens of black shadows quietly emerged.

They were tall and slender, with outlines like those of women, and they exuded a cold aura.

"Why are there still enemies?"

But it was obvious that the enemy would not explain his origins.

Mizutani Makoto glanced at it, clenched Chidorimaru, and injected spiritual power into the blade.

The Thunder Prison had already drained all of Chidori Maru's stored thunder, but at this moment, with the replenishment of Mizutani Makoto's spiritual power, the flames and thunder suddenly intertwined and exploded on the blade!

"bring it on!"

He growled, and the battle broke out in an instant.

Chidori Maru cut through the night sky, and the flames formed by the fire thunder tore through the darkness, shining like bursting magma under the night sky.

Mizutani Makoto directly fought against many enemies alone, his figure moving across the battlefield like a ghost. His swordsmanship was already extremely sharp, and now Chidorimaru's fire thunder was extremely effective against evil spirits, allowing him to violently chop a shadow's body into pieces with every swing.
