Yotsuya Miko looked at the slightly dilapidated old shrine in front of her, with thick dust accumulated on the Buddha statues, which clearly hadn't been visited for a long time, and hesitated.
"You wouldn't be thinking of asking those so-called gods for help, would you? Didn't you write in your diary that if gods really exist, they aren't kind and don't want to help you?"
Ye Xing smiled.
"I still think this way now."
Yotsuya Miko was even more puzzled.
"Then why did you come to the shrine to pray..."
"you misunderstood."
Ye Xing waved his hand, walked to the offering box at the shrine, and said calmly.
"I'm not here to ask for anything this time."
As he spoke, Ye Xing took out several hundred-yuan bills and a dozen coins from his pocket and put them into the wooden box.
The coins struck the inner wall of the wooden box, producing a dull yet strangely clear sound.
Miko Yotsuya, and Rio Futaba, who has awakened her soul materialization and gained the ability to see evil spirits, noticed that the air inside the shrine was rippling like the surface of a lake where a pebble had been dropped.
"Snapped."
Ye Xing clasped his hands together, bowed his head, and looked like he was praying sincerely.
"call..."
"Dingling bell~"
A strange, eerie breathing sound, accompanied by a crisp, chiming sound like wind chimes, rang out behind the members of the Superpower Society.
Rio Futaba and Miko Yotsuya turned around and saw a creature with a head shaped like a goat, a body four or five meters tall, on all fours, and a translucent golden color, standing there quietly.
At that moment, both women felt a sense of tension.
Whatever this thing in front of me is...
scary.
This kind of terror is different from that of evil spirits with distorted faces that exude an evil aura.
It's more like a...
A kind of aloof indifference that completely disregards humanity.
"This thing...is...God?"
In any case, Yotsuya Miko could not reconcile the image of the enormous monster with a goat's head and an aura of silent oppression before her with that of a so-called deity.
Mai Sakurajima and Yui Yuigahama, being ordinary people, are unable to see the existence of gods.
But they weren't as oblivious as Yurikawa.
Just by seeing the changes in the expressions of Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio, and feeling the sudden silence that filled the air—so quiet that not even a bird's chirp could be heard—the two women knew that something must have happened.
"So they came out after all."
Night Star turned around, looked at the translucent golden monster with a goat's head, and laughed nonchalantly.
"The soul of a psychic must be very attractive to you, right?"
The goat spirit opened its mouth and uttered obscure and incomprehensible words.
"@@*#&¥(!#)!)"
Ye Xing frowned slightly, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
"speak English."
"@&*!#......."
Just as the goat spirit spoke again, only halfway through its sentence, something happened that neither Yotsuya Miko nor Futaba Rio had anticipated.
"Speak like a human being!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Xing made a grasping motion with his left hand, and a pale ghost hand instantly appeared, delivering a resounding slap to the goat spirit.
"Snapped!"
The dull slap not only made the goat spirit's head tilt to the side, but also made Yotsuya Miko and Futaba Rio feel as if the slap had hit their hearts.
Respiratory arrest.
Immediately afterwards, the pupils of both women dilated in shock.
What did Night Star just do?
He slapped the god in the face!?
This is a genuine deity, enshrined at a shrine!
"What nonsense are you talking about? I can't understand a single word."
Night Star, still looking nonchalant, slowly walked up to the Goat God and smiled.
"Be smart and sign a contract to avoid unnecessary physical pain, understand?"
His response was a deafening roar from the goat spirit, who had finally come to his senses.
"Why bother."
Ye Xing shook his head regretfully, and a black longsword appeared in his right hand.
"You asked for this."
Despite his reluctant tone, Yui and the others could clearly see a hint of excitement and anticipation in Yohoshi's eyes.
obviously.
Slaughtering evil spirits is Night Star's forte.
But beating up a real god still brought him an unprecedented sense of novelty.
Thankfully, Night Star became an exorcist.
Otherwise, this kind of mentality is of no benefit to society.
"Open your eyes, Hundred Eyes!"
"Reveal your true form, Bone Woman!"
Although they didn't know what Yohoshi was thinking, sensing the tense atmosphere, Futaba Rio and Yotsuya Miko didn't hesitate at all and each called out their own soul's true name.
Yui Yuigahama and Mai Sakurajima can't see anything.
This is actually a good thing.
As long as they weren't hit by Yotsuya Miko's long sword, they wouldn't be at risk of injury; they just needed to retreat to a safe distance.
"@@!&#!"
Clearly, the deity was not deliberately talking nonsense to Night Star.
That's just how its language is.
As the deity spoke, two little girls, as small as toddlers and with fox-like faces, appeared in the arena.
As soon as they appeared, they rushed towards Miko Yotsuya and Rio Futaba from the left and right respectively, with perfect coordination.
"Hachiku, go help Rio!"
Upon hearing Yotsuya Miko's words, Yasakani immediately flashed forward and, together with Hone-onna, stood in front of Futaba Rio.
Although Rio Futaba has awakened the ability to materialize souls, this is only the second time she has used it, and she has not yet had the opportunity to undergo exorcism-related training.
Not to mention psychological resilience.
No matter how calm and collected Rio Futaba is, she can't compare to someone who completely enjoys the process of killing evil spirits, or someone like Miko Yotsuya who can remain unfazed when facing evil spirits.
Therefore, she needs Ba Chi's help even more.
"Oh? So you're going to use a strategy of taking them down one by one?"
Facing the goat deity, whose size was several times larger than his own, Ye Xing simply smiled nonchalantly.
"You overestimate your own strength, and you also overestimate the strength of the two divine messengers beside you."
The goat spirit had no intention of speaking to him; it simply opened its enormous jaws and, with a deafening roar, viciously bit down at Night Star's head.
This guy exudes an aura of superiority, completely different from that of evil spirits.
But in Night Star's eyes, so-called gods are no different from evil spirits.
They merely lurk in the shadows, coveting the lowly existence of humanity.
"bring it on!"
With an extremely nimble movement, the pale ghost hand instantly appeared above the head of the goat spirit, its sharp five fingers piercing directly into the opponent's neck.
The goat spirit let out a painful roar, its gaping maw less than a meter from Night Star, yet it could not get any closer no matter what it did.
"Such a massive body..."
Ye Xing wore a kind smile, holding a black longsword with a row of barbed serrations on its blade.
"It can't be that easy to die, right?"
The moment he finished speaking, he had already lowered his body, gripped the long knife in his right hand, and slashed it across the belly of the goat god.
With barbed serrations, it tore a gash in the belly of the goat god.
The pain caused is dozens of times greater than that from being cut with a long knife.
"Roar!!!"
The goat spirit's translucent golden body flickered a few times, constantly twisting its head, trying to break free from the pale ghost hand's restraints.
Its gaping maw opened wider and wider until it exceeded the limits of a normal living being, splitting into several pieces, like some kind of Cthulhu god. The mouth, with sharp teeth in each part, forcefully pushed open the ghostly hand, which swayed incessantly in the air.
"Has it finally revealed its true form?"
Seeing the deity revealing its true form, radiating a holy aura yet with a face more distorted than that of an evil spirit, Ye Xing was not surprised.
This thing is a monster.
In the original storyline, Yotsuya Miko received help from this so-called deity and had three opportunities to be assisted by the divine messenger.
