Living with a magical girl, but a weirdo cadre

　"..." Hmm, that makes sense... Although it's dangerous for Source Dark Apophis to stay outside, we have no choice but to take that risk for now.

　Because we need to hurry up and ask questions.

　Now, let's hear about the first topic—

　The sow's postpartum period... oh, no, that's not right.

　"..."

　"Where exactly is Moirai? In the heavens? In the realm of gods? Or inside the world? Respond quickly and tell me what's going on."

　As Cong Yu spoke, she mentally timed the "Hydra Mark" to determine its approximate duration of control.

　In response, the four-winged angel, who was now completely "one of the Rain," immediately replied: "It is neither the heavens nor the realm of gods. It is the place where the Father and the other angels who do not obey Moirai reside."

　“And Moirai is everywhere.”

　"We, along with our brothers and sisters (angels), remain in the future, awaiting Moirai's orders while protecting her mainframe."

　"..."

　"In other words, you and Moirai both exist in the future, and you come from the future?"

　Cong Yu asked this question, confirming that these four-winged angels did indeed know more information than the two-winged ones.

　So, do the six-winged angels know even more?

　As Cong Yu was thinking this, the angel shook its head: "I and the other angels exist in the future, but we are not 'coming here.' We exist every moment, and we still do now."

　"Moire exists in the future, but it doesn't just exist in a specific future; rather, it has existed from the moment it was born, moving towards the 'past' until it arrived at the present."

　"..." Oh no, time! It's time!

　Cong Yu immediately felt that things were a bit difficult, because "time" was something that "human beings" could not easily understand.

　Although Cong Yu is very intelligent, possessing knowledge and understanding beyond what people of his time should have, he is still the kind of guy who needs to watch a movie analysis to understand even "Tenet".

　It completely touched on his blind spot in knowledge.

　Cong Yu turned to look at Lan Tianzhu and the others, and then saw three faces filled with solemn respect... Needless to say, they didn't understand at all.

　And to say that the angel in front of us is speaking a "riddle" is not necessarily true. After all, the other party's wording is already concise and easy to understand.

　They didn't use any technical jargon.

　Cong Yu realized she shouldn't have asked about the "principles"; it would have been better to ask about the "methods" directly...

　How can we effectively kill Moirai?

　Cong Yu asked this question, and the angel who knew what Cong Yu was asking first understood the problem from Cong Yu's perspective, and then corrected her: "Moirai has not been born yet, so it cannot be killed."

　"If you're asking how to 'stop the birth,' wiping out humanity before Moile is born is a good idea. But if Moile has already been born, then the existence of humanity is irrelevant."

　It is. ”

　"After that, I'm not so sure how else to deal with the threat posed by Moilei..."

　"Destroying the mainframe in 2150, when Moile is born, might have some effect, but I'm not so sure."

　"And I don't know how to 'get to' 2150."

　The angel confessed everything honestly...

　Cong Yu sighed.

　Although it was anticipated that a Moire with a name like Prototype Moire-Zero was unlikely to be human.

　But when it was finally confirmed that Moirai had a "host computer," Cong Yu still felt a bit of a sigh...

　As expected, the AI ​​has betrayed us!

　For years, science fiction movies (and novels) have been rehashing the same old theme of machine revolution, just different names in different forms!

　But now it should be considered fantasy within science fiction...

　After all, the AI ​​host and the angels are in cahoots.

　"Destroy the host... but are you unsure?"

　Cong Yu sighed slightly, but immediately changed the subject to the next question: "What level of strength do six-winged angels possess? Besides angels, does Moirai have any other 'military forces'?"

　"..."

　"It's not certain, but the six-winged archangels are far, far stronger than us. But most of them have chosen to join the Father's side."

　The first half of the four-winged angel's words almost made Cong Yu...

　Thump! Thump!

　But the second half of the sentence reassured him somewhat...

　In other words, the six-winged angels are "archangels," and most of them are on the side of humanity... This is undoubtedly good news.

　But we still need to let Cong Yu breathe a sigh of relief...

　"Besides the angels, in 2222, Moirai created an armed unit named 'Machine God Soldier.'"

　As the angel spoke, amidst the bewildered yet impressive expressions of the crowd, he continued, "The machine god bodies equipped with virtual personalities will be deployed to the battlefield to exterminate all organic life after Moirai is born in this era."

　"..."

　Chapter 760 Faith and Belief

　What is the concept of the Mech Warrior?

　Sounds like Gundam!

　So, Gangadamu will invade then, right?

　Without Monard, how can I fight against the Machine Gods?!

　Simple... I can just become X, right?

　……

　"..." Amidst countless complicated thoughts, Cong Yu quickly put these matters aside... There was still enough time.

　There are other possible solutions...

　Some of these things, though not related to the world itself, are closely related to oneself.

　"How do I use this 'divine power'?"

　As he asked this, Cong Yu stretched out his hand and questioned the angel he had controlled... His hand shimmered with a holy light.

　What Cong Yu calls divine power, something obtained from other angels... this is the source of the angels' power.

　Unfortunately, Cong Yu was never able to use it.

　We must take this opportunity to ask the angel for clarification.

　In response to Cong Yu's answer, the angel focused its gaze on Cong Yu's hand: "This is 'the power of faith,' that's what we call it."

　"However, it's not unreasonable to call it 'divine power,' or to summarize it as 'the power used by gods.'"

　Cong Yu was stunned.

　The term "divine power" does seem simplistic, but when asked what it actually is... it seems another name could provide the answer.

　The Power of Faith

　Four words are enough.

　Actually, after talking with the Pope's daughter and Pope Old Deng, I had already guessed what divine power was.

　However, Cong Yu did not expect that this thing would be so directly named the Power of Faith.

　And this perfectly explains...

　Why is the power of faith constantly increasing?

　After all, Cong Yu had done a lot during this period, and ordinary people regarded him as someone they could trust.

　If we're talking about "faith," it probably hasn't reached that level yet.

　But the "trust" was inevitably entrusted to Cong Yu...

　“From the angels, I received a way to observe my own ‘power of faith,’ and a seed that is constantly growing…”

　As she spoke, Cong Yu controlled the power of faith, making it rotate and swirl around her hands as if it were an extension of her own arm.

　"The Power of Faith...what a cliché name."

　Cong Yu made this comment, and he did indeed think that "XX of X" was a rather tacky name...

　It is at least completely different from the way he named his techniques.

　Although it might seem like self-promotion, Cong Yu believes that her naming of techniques is quite fashionable.

　Of course, even if the name is old-fashioned and tacky, it is perfectly acceptable as long as it is useful.

　Just like how appearance doesn't affect strength.

　In reality, Cong Yu has no way to use the power of faith to cast spells, let alone cast spells... even simply using it is very difficult.

　How do I use it?

　Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, the four-winged angel's face clearly showed some struggle, and her voice sounded somewhat strained.

　This is evidence that he is about to escape.

　Even so, under the influence of the Hydra mark, the four-winged angels still made a concerted effort to prepare.

　To answer Cong Yu's question.

　To reiterate, the Hydra mark does not affect a person's intelligence, memory, or personality; it merely changes their allegiance.

　In other words...

　During the process of control, the controlled genuinely believe that being "controlled" is the right and normal thing to do.

　They will naturally resist situations where "control is lifted".

　For the four-winged angel who was being controlled at this moment, it was just like his genuine hatred of being controlled in his normal state...

　I hate the thought of myself becoming "abnormal (normal)" again.

　Unfortunately, that was unavoidable.

　“Despicable Moirai… no… wretched mortal…”

　As it roared, the angel's thoughts kept switching between the two, and then, with its last shred of "clarity," it said, "Become a god! After becoming a god, you can use it!"

　"..." How does one become a god?

　Just as Cong Yu was about to ask that question, the angel already understood what Cong Yu wanted to ask.

　Then, with his last shred of resolve, he quickly said, "I don't know, but as long as you can use the power of faith, it probably proves you've become a god! And the key to it..."

　"It's the thought of 'belief'!"

　Having said that, in the next instant, the four-winged angel returned to Moirai's control, and his expression changed drastically, revealing a face full of anger.

　"Sinful mortals! Ignorant! Fools! Foolish beings!"

　The four-winged angel roared, his eyes almost bloodshot, screaming madly, "Why? Why did I betray...me!"

　And while the other party was furious, his whole body was flashing with divine radiance, flickering unstablely.

　Cong Yu quickly tried to regain control...

　After failing to achieve his goal, Cong Yu skillfully used Source Darkness Apophis to behead him with a single sword strike...

　Then he silently watched as the four-winged angel's head gradually dissipated in the air, and its body vanished into countless points of light.

　Then, Cong Yu fell into deep thought.

　"what?"

　Lan Tianzhu asked this question, unable to help but ask, "What kind of belief... what kind of ability is it?"

　As he said this, Nagisa Azuma pondered for a moment and said, "I do know the four ways to use Nen... I learned it from the manga."

　"And it hasn't been updated in a long time."

　I think it might not be the same thing.
