"Of course! We are companions!"
"Companion? Do you think the demon god would consider a mere mortal as a companion?"
Ren Zha blinked his eyes, his small eyes full of confusion, "Grandpa, what weird things are you saying again?"
"It's like a human raising a pet dog, living with it day and night and taking meticulous care of it. In the dog's world, the owner is everything to it, but in the eyes of the owner, the dog is just a small part of life. When the pet dies, the owner will feel sad for the pet, but that's all. After all, no matter how important a dog is, it's just a dog."
"What does this mean? Who are you, grandpa?"
The old man with snake pupils said this, put down his cane, sat on the chair at the back, looked at Ren Zha, and said:
"My name is Orobas. Some people once called me Kaigi Daimikami, or...Yuroyu Ujino-sama."
Chapter 17 You Live in a Fake World
Enroyujison? It's similar to my name, isn't it? Both Enroyuji and my own Enrochi mean snake in Inazuma.
No, Umi-no-Omi-no-Kami? Oropus... a big, big, big snake!
Ren Zha widened his eyes.
Isn't this the name of the giant snake that was killed by Lord Thunder God with one sword? This story is still circulating among Inazuma, and I never get tired of listening to it.
Orochi, Lord Thunder's enemy...enemy?
"Enemy, enemy, enemy... No! Grandpa, are you lying to me?"
"You would rather believe that I am a snake demon from hell? That's right. In a sense, this false reality is hell."
This old man is talking nonsense!
But if this old man is really Orobas, then he is the devil? Are you kidding me?
"I don't believe it! Grandpa, if you want to deceive me, at least you should have some common sense, right? Orobas was killed by Lord Thundergod a long time ago. It's been thousands of years. How could he still be alive!"
"As you know, I was indeed killed by the Thunder God. There is no doubt about that. Otherwise, I would not have hidden it from that person. Now I am just the residue born from the corpse."
Ren Zha tilted his head slightly to show that he didn't understand.
Hiding from that person? Hiding from whom? Could it be Thor? Did he fake his death and hide it from Lord Thor?
"Is it hard to understand? Snakes shed their skin to be reborn. After I die, my body will be snake skin. After I shed the 'snake skin', a new me will be born."
No, it is even more incomprehensible! Wait, the teacher seemed to have said that the so-called demon god residue is the power left behind after the demon god dies. The more powerful the demon god is and the stronger his obsession is, the more powerful the harm left behind will be. It may even turn into a physical monster. In Inazuma, this is called a worship god.
As far as I know, there used to be many gods worshipped on Bayun Island, but they were all suppressed.
The worship of gods on Bayun Island seemed to be caused by the death of Oropas?
"Is Grandpa a worshiper of gods?"
Could it be a Chongshen who escaped from Bayun Island? Should I suppress it? It's bad. With my current state, I'm afraid I will be corroded and turned into a monster, let alone suppress the monster!
Ren Zha swallowed silently.
No! I haven't seen Zhen and Ying yet! I have to go back and report to the teacher!
"I'm not worshipping a god. I just left the body of a demon god and became a human to survive." Oropus continued, "So now I don't have the power of a demon god. At best, I'm just a stronger human being, bound by the human lifespan. You can see how old I am."
Ren Zha looked at the old man who called himself Oropas. Indeed, he looked like an old man and might die at any time.
Calm down, Ren Zha, this old man is definitely bluffing you. If you can communicate normally, he is definitely not worshipping a god.
Ren Zha encouraged himself in his heart and looked at the old man more carefully, trying to find out what was wrong. He had not noticed it before because the place was too dark, but Ren Zha found a device on the old man's foot that looked like an infusion tube.
"What's that on your foot?"
"Did you notice that?"
Oropus pointed at Renzha's side. Renzha looked in that direction and saw a device filled with a strange liquid. The transport pipe under the decoration was connected to Oropus' leg on the ground.
"This is……"
"This is a device for extracting earth vein energy. Human life span is limited. I rely entirely on the power extracted from the earth veins to prolong my life span. But even so, I am almost at my limit now. If the supply from this device is cut off, I will soon die of old age."
So if you pull out this tube, you will die, right? Is it really okay for you to tell me something so important?
But looking at Orobas, this frail old man, and the fact that he saved me, I could never do such a thing.
"Grandpa, no matter what you say, I still want to go back!"
Although I don’t believe that finding an old man is Oropus, there is something wrong with this old man!
Until now, Ren Zha still doesn't believe that this old woman is really Orobhas. It's such nonsense. It would be better to say that she is really the god of thunder.
I, Ren Zha, am not really an idiot!
Ren Zha was eager to go back, so he got off the bed, but after taking a few steps, he fell to the ground.
Damn it, I can’t use much physical strength!
"Do you want to die? Okay, there is no exit here. I will need you to do a lot of things for me in the future."
There's no exit? Am I trapped here?
"What on earth do you want to do! What do you want me to do!?"
"Create a world where there are only winners, only peace, only love, and only all of this exists, and cut off the cause and effect of this world."
"I just want to get back to everyone!"
"It seems that you didn't hear what I said before. Are you going back to that world where everything is fake to you?"
"What's false?"
"Don't want to face it? In fact, you have also noticed that something is wrong with the people around you, right? It's just that you subconsciously ignore and choose to escape. Do you need me to help you say it?" Oropus stared into Ren Zha's eyes and said, "You live in a network of relationships that everyone has compiled for you. Teachers, friendships, and people you like are all fake. You are just a pet for everyone... No, you are just living as a toy."
Ren Zha's pupils shrank.
"What do you mean?"
"Raidenzhen? Lei Dianying? Think about it carefully, who among the Inazuma could have such a surname?"
"He is a retainer of Lord Thunder God..."
"Among the subordinates of the Thunder God, are there really any retainers with the surname Raiden?" Oropus' mouth slightly stretched to one side, revealing a trace of disdain. "To be precise, apart from the one who is the supreme ruler of Inazuma, who else dares to have the surname Raiden? Since you think you have such a good relationship with them, have they ever invited you to their home once? Have you ever met their parents, the non-existent 'retainers'?"
Without giving Ren Zha time to react, Orobasi stretched out his hand, and a bubble appeared on his hand, and two small figures emerged in the bubble. Ren Zha looked and saw that one was Lei Dian Zhen and Lei Dian Ying. Then the figures in the bubble changed, and the small figure became mature. The two figures looked similar. Although Ren Zha had never seen Thor, there were many portraits of Lord Thor circulating outside. Ren Zha recognized that the two figures looked like Lord Thor.
"What I'm going to tell you next is a secret that only an old immortal like me would know. The Thunder God that everyone knows is not just one, but a pair of twin demons. They won the Demon War together. The elder sister is called Raiden Shin, and she is the Thunder God Baal who nominally rules Inazuma. However, her martial power is weak compared to other demons. Compared with her elder sister, the younger sister Raiden is extremely powerful, so she has been fighting as her elder sister's shadow warrior... Haha, but no matter how weak she is, she is still a demon after all, and cannot be compared to a mere monster..."
Orobas looked at Ren Zha with a mocking look and continued,
"You died to protect your companions? Your death is totally worthless, Ren Zha. From the very beginning, you have been living in a false world full of lies and deception."
Chapter 18 Coral Palace: Do you want to go to the bathroom?
Ren Zha actually knew that Zhen and Ying were hiding something from him. From the conversation attitude between Ying and the teacher, the way Miyako Chiyo and others looked at him... and so on, he felt very strange, but the most he guessed was that Zhen and Ying were the adopted children of Lord Thunder God, and he never thought that Zhen would be Thunder God.
The great God of Thunder accompanied me through my childhood?
"Grandpa is lying to me again."
"Don't you believe it? Or don't you want to face it?"
"Grandpa, you are really Inazuma's enemy, right? And even if it is really the Thunder God, so what? I admire the Thunder God. If the Thunder God is always by my side, wouldn't it be happier? Since Shin and Ying are so strong, there will be no accidents in the next disaster war. Haha, I feel more relieved when I think about it this way."
Oropas just stared at Ren Zha, and Ren Zha still had a silly smile on his face.
"You still believe it."
Ren Zha and Orobas looked at each other, their eyes became firm: "No, I believe in the bond between us. Even if they have hidden something from me, the life we have lived for so many years is not fake. I believe that Zhen and Ying will not hurt me. Grandpa, it is meaningless for you to sow discord between us."
"You still won't wake up? Do you believe in this bond so much? It doesn't matter. There's still plenty of time. Just stay here and slowly wake up."
After Oropus finished speaking, he slowly walked towards the device that raised the earth veins, sat on the chair next to the device and closed his eyes.
"Grandpa, it's useless to lock me up here. I will definitely get out!"
Oropas ignored Ren Zha and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
Ren Zha shouted a few times but stopped when there was no response. He simply stretched his body and thought that it was unrealistic to escape with such a body. It seemed that this old man just locked him up here and had no intention of hurting him. He must use this opportunity to heal his wounds as soon as possible so that he could go back to help Zhen and Ying.
Zhen, Ying, teacher, and everyone, wait for me!
Ren Zha also closed his eyes and planned to rest for a while, but such a dark environment was too stuffy. Ren Zha opened his eyes and saw a pair of snake pupils again.
What does this old man want to do by approaching me while I am sleeping?
Ren Zha was not sleepy at all. He opened his eyes wide and found that the person approaching his bed was not the old man who called himself Orobasi, but a big white snake.
The old man showed his true colors? Could it be that because I had been arguing with him all the time, he was getting angrier and angrier and was going to choke me out?
"Are you awake? Do you want to pee?"
The big white snake saw Ren Zha wake up and asked while shaking its head.
Isn't that the old man's voice from before?
Ren Zha asked uncertainly, "Where did you come from?"
"What snake? I'm a dragon lizard. Although my body is a little longer than that of a normal dragon lizard, it doesn't matter. If you think this appearance scares you..."
The white snake's body was shaking.
"...Let me think about how to transform..."
As he spoke, the snake in front of Ren Zha had transformed into a girl with pink hair and a pair of horns on both sides of her head. Her body was pale, as if she had been soaked in sea water for who knows how long.
"well--!"
Ren Zha dragged out the tone.
"Will this not scare you?"
Ren Zha looked at the face of the girl in front of him, and his eyes moved downwards to her chest, and between her legs... Ren Zha's face turned red in an instant, and he closed his eyes and made a very loud noise.
"Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
The girl tilted her head slightly, then said belatedly, "Oh, yes, it seems that humans still need to wear clothes. This is my first time transforming, so I'm not very experienced..."
Ren Zha closed his eyes tightly, fearing that he would see something he shouldn't see if he opened them, and roared loudly: "At least put on your clothes before you speak!"
"That's not important. Are you shy? I'm the one who's naked. Well, I read in a book that humans grow bigger when they're excited..."
The girl walked to the foot of Ren Zha's bed and squatted down, looking curiously towards the middle of the bed, "...Has it gotten bigger? Can you show it to me?"
"well--?"
Look, look, what are you looking at!
What on earth is going on with this woman!
"It hasn't gotten bigger! And put your clothes on quickly!"
“It has already appeared.”
Hearing that there were clothes, Ren Zha dared to open his eyes and looked at the girl squatting at the foot of the bed. She was wearing a light blue off-shoulder dress with ribbons in her hands, like a fish swimming in the sea.
The girl showed a not very smart look in her eyes and asked again: "So can you show it to me now?"
"How could I possibly show it to you! Who the hell are you?!"
"Coral Palace, just call me Coral Palace. Let me make it clear in advance that I am not interested in you. Please don't misunderstand me. I am just curious about the difference between you humans and me. What I read in books is just theoretical knowledge after all."
What books are you reading?
This girl, apparently looks very quiet, but in fact, she is a change... a change...
"Impossible!" Ren Zha stepped back and shouted, "Stay away from me! Isn't there another person over there?"
Ren Zha pointed his finger at Orobas who was still closing his eyes in front of the geomagnetic device.
"No, Lord Orobas is too old to be excited, and I feel like I'll die if I ask this." Coral Palace stood up from the foot of the bed, regret in his eyes, "Forget it, even if you don't show it, it has shrunk back now, right? I'm really curious about what humans look like when they're excited."
