Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

Fujimaru Ritsuka, meanwhile, wore a thoughtful expression, then tentatively asked Tenochtitlan:

"Do you mean that even though the other party, as a deity, is dead, as an illusory god, they still have an impact on reality?"

"That's it. As a priest of mine, you're quite competent, aren't you?"

Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka finally realized what was happening, Tenochtitlan couldn't help but smile and explained:

"The end of the death of a god is a complete return to nature, while the spirit can be roughly equated with the intermediate state between the god and nature, that is, god - spirit - return to nature."

“Deities are gods who have lost consciousness and physical form and dissolved into nature. In this state, they are almost transformed into a natural phenomenon, but their own functions, or instincts, are still at work.”

"Let me use a simple and easy-to-understand analogy."

Tenochtitlan held up one index finger and said:

"Just like humans, the functions of the body's organs don't stop instantly after death, right?"

"Speaking of which, indeed..."

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to realize something, while Mashu added from the side:

"I read about this in a book: it says that brain cells die about 3 minutes after death; heart cells die 15 minutes later... and some cells can even survive for up to 4 days after death before they die completely."

"Oh, is that so? The human body is truly amazing."

Fujimaru Ritsuka exclaimed in surprise.

But upon hearing Mashu's words, Hina Amano couldn't help but shudder, and fearfully crossed her arms, saying:

"I'm saying, don't you guys think this topic is a bit scary?"

"Forehead--"

Fujimaru Ritsuka hadn't felt anything at first, but looking at Amano Hina's appearance, she couldn't help but think of the images of her own body's organs dying one after another, and she couldn't help but shudder as well, and said with a forced smile:

"If that's the case, it does seem so..."

So let's get back to the main topic.

Having gained a general understanding of the current situation, Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at Amano Hina once more, lost in thought.

"So, the reason why Hina was able to establish a connection with Yashinori Kanekami and become a weather shrine maiden was not because the other party intentionally chose her, but because she instinctively reacted after sensing her prayer."

"In that case,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka stroked her chin and said:

"Shouldn't it be possible to apply for withdrawal?"

"Huh, quit?"

Amano Hina was stunned for a moment, clearly not having imagined such a path.

Generally speaking, it is quite humiliating for a god to choose someone and then refuse them, but since the other party is already gone, it doesn't really matter.

If she succeeds, Hina Amano will lose her powers and become an ordinary person again; if she fails, she will simply remain in the status quo.

As for whether the mutations in her body will disappear after she succeeds, that's hard to guarantee.

"In this case……"

After Fujimaru Ritsuka's analysis, Amano Hina's vision brightened, and she felt it was worth a try.

"But wait a minute!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka stopped Amano Hina, who was about to close her eyes and pray, because things weren't completely over yet. They had been taken to the divine realm by Amano Hina, and it would be terrible if she returned their powers and they were sent back as well.

Then, she glanced once more at the divine realm before her and said to Tenochtitlan:

There's still one thing I don't understand.

Tenochtitlan's conclusions do indeed explain why the other party ignored Gaia's negotiations, disregarded the rain, and even the problems with Amano Hina can be勉强 explained.

However, since the other party has transformed into an illusory deity, into an existence that is almost like a natural phenomenon, then why is Gaia, as nature itself and as the consciousness of the planet, still unable to interfere with the current situation?

"This……"

Upon hearing this question, Tenochtitlan finally fell into a moment of contemplation, murmuring:

“Indeed, in theory, Gaia shouldn’t be unable to interfere…”

"Well, senior..."

At that moment, Mashu suddenly spoke up:

"Actually, I have a somewhat immature guess."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, she quickly organized her thoughts and said:

"This conjecture is related to Leonardo da Vinci's discovery and the background of Gaia mentioned by our predecessors."

The so-called discovery of the little Leonardo da Vinci is the phenomenon of "world fusion," which has been confirmed by Gaia of this world.

The divine realm they are currently in, and the Yashinagami who has fallen to godhood, are gods from other worlds, not native gods born in this world or on this planet.

As for Gaia's origins... according to Gaia herself, the mystery of this world is too low, and there was originally no possibility that she was born.

However, it was the mystery brought by the arrival of Fujimaru Ritsuka that led to His unexpected awakening and His growth through the phenomenon of [World Fusion].

"Therefore, I was thinking..."

Seemingly feeling that this guess was a bit too offensive, Mashu hesitated for a moment before cautiously speaking:

"Could the reason Gaia couldn't interfere with all of this be because of... that?"

"Because His power is too weak?"

Come spicy!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 366 The So-Called Solution

"……Eh?"

Upon hearing Mashu's words, both Fujimaru Ritsuka and Tenochtitlan were stunned.

It must be said that this is indeed a rather bold and constructive guess.

"That's certainly possible, isn't it?"

After regaining her composure, Tenochtitlan was the first to express her opinion, confirming Mash's guess.

In their world, Gaia, as a planetary consciousness that was born with the planet itself and has existed for 45 billion years, is one of the two major restraining forces. It has given birth to gods, elves, and other powerful creatures, and its power is beyond doubt.

In this world with extremely low mystery, Earth itself is not even enough to support the birth of Earth consciousness Gaia. It needs the mystery brought by Fujimaru Ritsuka to make it possible, and it has only been a few months since its birth.

Therefore, the power of Gaia in this world could certainly be very weak.

The "naturalness" she speaks of is a conclusion drawn from the impression Gaia in the Type-Moon world, but it is equally reasonable that it does not apply to Gaia in this world.

"If that's the case, it does seem that way..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka, recalling the whiny monster who had rushed into her arms to complain in her dream, couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Gaia in this world doesn't seem to be very strong.

"that……"

On the other side, Hina Amano looked at them with some confusion. As they talked, the topic suddenly veered in a direction she couldn't understand at all.

Noticing the situation with Hina Amano, Ritsuka Fujimaru decided to get back to the main topic and asked Tenochtitlan:

"In that case, how can we completely stop this rain?"

"Indeed, that is the important question."

Upon hearing this question, Tenochtitlan immediately became serious.

"Not to mention that this kind of weather is extremely unlivable, the city's drainage system is also under tremendous pressure. If this continues, the city may even be flooded. I will not allow such an outcome!"

Tenochtitlan.

Class: Pretender

Despite possessing elements of both the rain god Traloc and the war god Vizilopochtli, she is essentially the urban spirit of Tenochtitlan, the largest floating city of the Aztec civilization, and a servant who anthropomorphizes the city.

Her current predicament in Tokyo resonated deeply with her, a city sprite.

"As for the solution,"

Tenochtitlan:

"You could say there are two, or you could say there's only one."

The first solution is to let it dissipate naturally. As an illusory deity, it is an intermediate state between gods and nature, and it will probably only take one or two hundred years to return to its normal state.

A hundred or two hundred years is just a moment in time for the Earth, but it is far too long for human society, so it is definitely not feasible.

"...So, the only option left is to deliberately sabotage it?"

Tenochtitlan looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

"A whole block of ice melts very slowly, but if you break it into small pieces, it melts much faster. It's a very simple and easy-to-understand method, right?"

"...Deliberate sabotage...?"

Although she had vaguely guessed this outcome, Fujimaru Ritsuka fell silent as she looked at the dreamy and beautiful scene before her, upon hearing Tenochtitlan say it so bluntly.

A school of fish that had been swimming in the air watched for a long time. After confirming that Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others seemed to be in no danger, they cautiously swam over and moved among the group of fish.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka instinctively reached out to touch it, but this instantly startled the fish, causing them to flee in panic.

Watching the fleeing fish, she instinctively asked:

"What should be done with these creatures within the divine realm? Are they, like that god, already dead and illusory beings?"

"No, within this divine realm, they are still real, living beings."

Tenochtitlan shook his head and said:

"However, as the gods dissipate and return to nature, the moment the divine realm collapses, their lives will also come to an end."

"...In other words, if we destroy this place now..."

Tenochtitlan understood the implication in Fujimaru Ritsuka's words, but after a moment of silence, he could only sigh and confess:
