202 – The Trauma Switch
Godhead and soul are inseparable.
Even if it is not a god, the place where the place is imprinted is not a part of the body, but the depth of the soul, so even if you chew on the spirit like Neiros, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary human to take away the place.
“… start.”
If you’re just a normal human being
Ciel sits on the floor and releases his body’s strength as much as possible.
What I’m trying to do now is the implantation of divinity. It is natural that this cannot be done to ordinary humans, and even to a god, it is absolutely impossible to transplant someone else’s divinity.
“That’s it, if you think about it a little differently, a godhead is an aggregate of tenacity that was created through the prayers of thousands or tens of thousands of people. At that point, it can be established as a single concept.”
Loyalty, revenge, betrayal, play.
The concepts they called divine names not only mean that they govern them, but also serve as the basis for supporting the floor as gods.
For example, if someone wants a benevolent mother, Neiros’ divinity will not rise, but a foundation to support it will be created.
“The reason why Neiros was able to have many divine powers and the reason why the amount of divine power he could handle when fighting in the Demon Castle was reduced was all because of this.”
The Church of Neiros is a very large church that no one on the continent can refute until it is destroyed.
The number of believers is innumerable, and their faith is also strong, and they live each day grateful for Neiros’ kindness.
And each time that happened, her foundation was strengthened, and if she hadn’t killed the priests who cared for Neiros at that time, the difficulty of killing Neiros, which was already difficult to kill, would have become many times more difficult.
“By the way, Ciel.”
Rachel, squatting right in front of Ciel and looking at her, tapped her heart lightly and asked a question.
“Is there anyone who still believes in you?”
“… none.”
Answering Rachel’s question, Ciel showed a slightly dark face.
My name started to spread, and the number of people who believed in me as a warrior increased. Contrary to me, there was no one who would believe in Ciel.
The Demon King’s army was annihilated because of Neiros. The whereabouts of the demon king were mysterious, and few people sincerely worshiped the demon king from the beginning.
even worshiped demons. There were no demon lord worshipers, but because the demon lord’s authority fell into the abyss, even the few remaining humans must have disappeared.
“Then you are as good as falling naked into a volcano that is about to explode.”
A lot has disappeared, but people of the Neiros Church are mixed in countless numbers among the general public. The pope and the cardinals are still known to be out on expeditions abroad, so there is confusion, but even that is small enough to say little.
“Neiros was foolish, but the godhood accumulated thanks to his desire to be worshiped is too much to play around with.”
Are you going to try anyway?
At Rachel’s question, Ciel merely nodded with a blunt expression.
“I am fully aware that it is a reckless challenge. It’s faint, but there must be an absurd gap between Neiros and me from the point of view of building up godhood.”
Even so, Ciel bluntly said that he would take on a challenge.
“If it was a reckless challenge in the first place, it would have been much worse over there, right?”
“Kuhm… .”
I cautiously turned my head to see Ciel’s gaze focused on a single word.
[‘Hestia’ also scolds you for overdoing it.]
No, I didn’t just do it haphazardly, did I?
He felt that Neros was coming from afar, and he did this after realizing that Liane was coming from the shadows. this is the right thing to do
[‘Hestia’ asks you to help Ciel, demanding you that calculations are not always right.]
“… Yes, of course not.”
As I approached Ciel, fiddling with the marbles in his pocket, Ciel let out a deep breath and held out his hand to me.
“Can you understand this as a sign to hold me?”
“Of course.”
While holding Ciel’s hand, I knelt down and slowly brought the marble in my hand to Ciel’s mouth.
“… .”
gulp.
Ciel’s body, which swallowed the orb containing Neiros’ soul, began to react as expected.
“Kuhheh!!”
At the same time as the demonic wind blows from the whole body, pure white divine power is swirling inside.
“Clema!!”
“I know!!”
“I’ll help too!!”
Clema was to prevent the excessive release of Ciel’s demonic energy, and Prin and I were to settle the divine power into the body.
I went out to help Ciel with all my might.
*****
At the same time as the pain came, his vision faded as if he were sinking to the bottom of the water.
No, to be precise, it should be said that not only the eyesight but also the mind itself flew away somewhere.
“… Where are you?”
Seeing that I can’t see anything, did I come into the image?
To say that, the originally desolate environment has become even more insipid.
I couldn’t feel the royally shining throne, the softly shining moonlight, or even the touch of the sand passing between my feet.
“What the hell is this place… .”
“What are you?”
“!!”
Goosebumps rose from all over the body the moment I tried to shoot the demon at the woman’s voice that came out of a space where there was no one there.
“What are you?”
As soon as I saw the pink eyes looking at me with my pink hair flying, I thought a ghost had appeared, but what actually came out was the opposite of a ghost.
“goddess… Neiros.”
He almost didn’t recognize him for a second, but there was only one person with hair color like Neiros in Ciel’s mind.
Why did you appear here?
Is it okay if I kill Neiros over there?
“… What are you asking!!!!”
Whoa!!
In the storm of divine power, Ciel pulled her body back and exhaled demonic energy, but in front of Neiros, it was no different from autumn leaves.
As soon as the divine power and the demonic energy collided, the magical energy was extinguished, and the divine power struck the body on the contrary.
“Turn it off!!”
The area touched by the holy power felt like being hit by a whip, but she endured it by biting her teeth at the expected pain.
“… It hurts.”
I looked at the red-stained arm and then looked at Neiros. The other side looked at me with eyes full of murderous intent, and then swung the divine power like a whip again.
“go away!! Get out of my space!!!”
It was a completely different pain from the foolish words of a child.
The word sangseong fits perfectly.
Even if you create a protective shield with magic, your body is drained of strength by the divine power that permeates your entire body.
Even as the divine power penetrated into his internal organs, hemoptysis naturally gushed out, making his body look as if it would collapse.
But even so, he doesn’t stop walking.
He approached Neiros, leading his body as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
It was a step that came out of the determination that if Magi couldn’t do it, he would be able to defeat him physically.
“M-, what!!”
Whiririk!!
The moment he took a step closer to Neiros, receiving the whip that flew several times with his body.
[Goddess Neiros feels ‘fear’ in you!]
[0.01% of godhood is given to you!!]
“… Is this the system Lian was talking about?”
When Neiros said that he was feeling fear, his body felt a little bit of vitality.
Anyway, I never imagined that the process of gaining godhood would be like this.
If it’s painful, it’s painful… Would you do such a fun thing?
“What are you?!”
While looking at Neiros, who was screaming and glaring at me, with inorganic eyes as much as possible, I inserted the demonic energy that was wrapped around my body.
Rather than trying to stop it by struggling like this, just moving as calmly as possible would feel much more frightening from the other side.
“… .”
I didn’t know that I would use this, but if the other person was Neiros, I could use it without hesitation.
You just have to return it as it is.
You don’t have to think about it that complicated.
I just need to return to Neiros what Lian has done to me since before.
Bringing back memories that were as frightening as possible, as scary as possible.
As he approached Neiros with a subtle smile on his face, he swung a whip from the other side.
But it wasn’t as scary as Lian’s, and the pain was a little less than before.
“Go away!!!!”
“… .”
Thank you. rian.
Please make sure to put the trauma that has been stuck in me into that woman as well.
