The whole world knows that I crossed

"The abnormality of His Royal Highness Amaterasu was first discovered nearly a hundred years ago."

Mikage recalled.

"That year, the Izumo Taisha's New Year's banquet was very lively, and the number of gods participating in the banquet far exceeded the previous one."

"This is because in that year, many gods accumulated enough beliefs to become 'famous gods' that could be stamped on Gao Tianyuan and recognized by His Highness Amaterasu."

"There are many rumors about us gods in the world. It is said that we were born from people's wishes, and the strength of our power is determined by the number of believers. We are closely related to the beliefs of the 'human' group."

"There are also legends that gods do not depend on people's beliefs, but are born and raised by nature. They have been gods since birth, and they do not need to rely on people's beliefs to live."

Mikage smiled.

"Neither of these two statements can be miscalculated, because among my companions, there are both."

"As for His Highness Amaterasu, as Izanaki's favorite daughter and the lord of Gao Tianyuan, she should be regarded as the kind of god who was born with nature and does not need to rely on people's beliefs to survive."

"but……"

Mikage smiled wryly.

"Faith... or the existence of 'people', their 'wish' is too powerful, even His Highness Amaterasu, who was born before the people group, began to enshrine her, believe in her, and put their own After the wishes were entrusted to her body, gradually, she began to be affected by these wishes, and would be distressed and confused by this."

"—Yes, His Highness Amaterasu will also be confused."

"Humans and gods are two completely different races after all. Many desires belonging to humans are beyond comprehension by gods, and even unimaginable."

……Oh.

Qiao Wen understood.

It's like "why not eat minced meat"!

Besides, because of differences in class, growth environment, race, nationality, or even just the location, in many cases, people may not be able to truly understand each other, let alone people and gods who have natural racial barriers. ?

"His Royal Highness Amaterasu is a very gentle woman. This point can also be supported by a description in a legend widely circulated in the world, isn't it?"

"—Yes, it is the legend you thought of."

"His Royal Highness Amaterasu's younger brother Suzhan Wuzun once went to Takamahara after being exiled by Izanaki. At first, His Highness Amaterasu had some 'misunderstanding' about him. Staying in Gaotianyuan as a 'guest', because of some misunderstandings about him before, His Royal Highness Amaterasu tolerated this younger brother in many ways. In the main hall of the ceremony, His Highness Amaterasu did not drive him away or punish him, but rather endured the pain by himself and hid alone in Tianyando..."

Uh……

Qiao Wen wanted to say that in order to tolerate his younger brother, he even ignored the other gods living on Gaotianyuan, and has been conniving at his younger brother's evil deeds. He didn't know the fear until he died, and hid himself in a small dark room and refused to come out... What kind of shit is this? Gentle?

But if you think about it carefully, what is the truth in myths and legends?

Moreover, the times are different, and people's values ​​and perceptions of the world, themselves, and others are naturally different. It may not be appropriate to insist on using today's three views to measure the behavior of the gods in the Age of Gods, so we can only Show an awkward but polite smile.

Mikage didn't notice his embarrassing smile with rich meaning.

He continued:

"The more gentle a person is, the easier it is to be affected by other people's emotions. In order to prevent His Highness Amaterasu from being distressed by people's prayers all the time, some gods in Gao Tianyuan began to persuade His Highness Amaterasu to use an 'artifact'."

"I think Little Joe... oh, may I call you that?"

After getting Qiao Wen's affirmative answer, Miying showed him a gentle smile.

"I think, Xiao Qiao, you must have heard from Bawei that among the gods, many like to recruit their own envoys, and they put far more trust and reliance in envoys than divine weapons."

"This is because they believe that an envoy who takes care of the daily life of the gods, assists the work of the gods, and will not be implicated in the gods they serve because of their own corruption, is a more trustworthy existence."

"However, there are also many people who think that divine tools are undoubtedly a more convenient and quicker choice than envoys who need to spend time and effort to subdue and teach them."

"Humans are an incredible, wonderfully endowed and unparalleled creative species."

"The artifacts born from the undead of human beings seem to be more thoughtful than most envoys by nature, and are suitable for serving the gods."

"However, whether you choose an envoy or a divine weapon to serve you, it is the freedom of the gods, and no one will interfere with another god's choice for no reason."

"His Royal Highness Amaterasu is the master of Gao Tianyuan, and she has her subordinate gods to handle all affairs. Therefore, no artifacts or envoys around her originally existed."

"However, when she saw that she was puzzled and even confused by the human beings who believed in herself and entrusted her with various wishes, and didn't know how to respond to their wishes, some gods suggested that it is better to adopt some human undead as artifacts and use these Let them handle the work of praying, so His Highness Amaterasu doesn't have to worry about it from time to time."

"His Highness Amaterasu has been persuaded."

"She began to cultivate her own artifacts. Slowly, somehow, she cultivated more and more artifacts, and gradually formed a huge artifact group, and named it 'Tian Shou'..."

Qiao Wen: ……… Oh, huh.

He felt that he had guessed what Mikage wanted to say next.

You know, when he was watching Noragami, apart from that scumbag of Yeto's father, the most annoying thing was "Tian", which is the artifact group called Tianshou in the setting of Noragami Amaterasu Omishin.

That is simply an enhanced version of the Zero Division. Its actions are so arrogant and rampant, and its methods are vicious and cruel, it does not seem like a decent organization at all.

Sure enough, Qiao Wen was faintly guessing on this side, but on the other side, Yuying said in a heavy tone:

"Originally, everything was developing in a good direction. With the help of Tianshou, an artifact group, His Highness Amaterasu is rarely disturbed by people's wishes that follow the faith, and the smile on his face is bright again. .”

Unfortunately, the good times don't last long.

With the development of the times, the progress of human society is increasing day by day. Due to some unspeakable laws, gods gradually fade out of the human world. Although gods like Mikage can still walk freely in the world, they can feel Some kind of strict "rules", there seems to be a pair of invisible eyes in the dark, watching their every move at all times, not allowing them to make redundant actions outside the limited rules, if they violate...

"Even if it is a god, it will probably only end up being wiped out on the spot."

Mikage sighed.

This is the choice of the times, the choice of fate, and also the choice of "collective human consciousness".

Human beings do not need "external forces" such as gods to realize their wishes.

They are increasingly able to rely on their own strength to achieve their wishes.

Although the power of faith has not been cut off, even in this era, there are still many human beings who believe in gods devoutly, but this kind of belief is completely different from the old belief.

"His Royal Highness Amaterasu was originally a god who was born and raised by nature. Naturally, he has no discomfort with the changes in people's beliefs."

The one who doesn't adapt to this change is the artifact group under her - Tianshou.

"As the artifact of His Royal Highness Amaterasu, even though it was not considered by many gods at first, as time goes by, the artifacts of the Tianshou Group have become stronger and stronger. The prayers from the human world developed to a later stage, and gradually began to intervene, and even took over the management of all aspects of Gao Tianyuan..."

As the power increases, the status of these artifacts in Gaotianyuan will naturally rise. Don't think that the gods are really out of touch with the world. Fighting for power and profit, and pushing the high and trampling the low are the same no matter in Gaotianyuan or in this world. .

However, when the wishes from the human world began to fade, and because they could no longer intervene in the affairs of the human world, the existence of the gods became no longer as lofty as before...

It seems that even the "class" between the gods is no longer as clear as before.

Who has tried to be powerful, especially as a human being, among the gods, who can tolerate being beaten back to the past overnight, even if the nameless person who is not qualified to leave a divine book in Gao Tianyuan Little gods, the humble situation where they can boss them around?

"So, the Tianshou lost control."

Not one or two, not three or four, the entire Tianshou group, all the artifacts, all showed demonization reactions!

However, on Gao Tianyuan, no one noticed the slightest abnormality.

"This is because……"

As Mikage said, she once again looked at someone who fell at the feet of the golden Nightmare King with a complicated expression.

"Because His Royal Highness Amaterasu was stabbed by the collective demonized artifacts, and he was infected with ailments almost instantly, and the whole person fell into an extremely dangerous situation..."

But after all, Amaterasu is the master of Gao Tianyuan, an existence standing at the top of 800 million gods, just when the "sickness" caused by the demonization of the artifact is about to invade her, dragging her to fall together with all the artifacts of the Tenshou Group , the instinct of the Sun Goddess made Amaterasu use the connection between himself and Gao Tianyuan to instantly pull out the "chigger" and part of the power infected by "chigger" from his body!

"And the person you are seeing now... or should I say the 'god', is the 'chigger' that was pulled out from the body of His Highness Amaterasu and fused with the part of the power infected by the 'chigger' to form some kind of product."

Mikage said with a sigh.

"We call it 'Heaven', but maybe it's more appropriate to call it 'Shadow of Amaterasu'..."

This is an existence that is completely opposite to Amaterasu Omikami.

It is violent, bloodthirsty, insane and full of destructive desires.

However, because of the "sickness" in the body, a new connection with the Tenshou Group has been formed, which is different from Amaterasu. It-or at this time, it can already be called "she"-has a clearly mature mind.

Before everyone finds out that there is something wrong with Amaterasu - because he has pulled out the existence of the shadow of Amaterasu and fell into a deep sleep, in order to preserve his last remaining power - before this incident, the shadow of Amaterasu will kill Amaterasu Zhao hid in the deepest part of the heavily guarded palace, and she herself, pretending to be Amaterasu by virtue of being the shadow of the goddess and almost identical to the goddess, began to lead Gao Tianyuan.

"It was the Lord of the Kingdom who first noticed that His Highness Amaterasu's words and deeds were strange."

Mikage glanced at him and listened to his narration with a smile all the time. Even when he talked about Amaterasu Omikami who was "ill" due to the demonization of the artifact, the expression of a certain blond god did not change a bit.

"But a little bit of strangeness is not enough for him to deduce the truth of everything."

The Lord of the Great Country just had some doubts about Amaterasu's change, so he conducted some investigations in private.

I don't know whether it's his luck or Amaterasu's luck. During an accidental investigation, the Lord of the Kingdom bypassed the heavily guarded guards. Amaterasu herself.

The waking time is limited, after Amaterasu quickly explained his experience to him, he asked the Lord of the Kingdom to help him get rid of his shadow.

"His Royal Highness Amaterasu made such a request not only for her own sake."

Mikage sighed.

Because the shadow of Amaterasu is based on the negative ailment that Amaterasu Omishen was stabbed by her own artifact. It is a product that combines part of her power. , but always full of the desire to destroy and destroy.

"She's like the complete opposite of Her Majesty Amaterasu. What she desires most is not a peaceful and peaceful life, but total chaos and destruction."

Therefore, she is not willing to exist only as a false Amaterasu, or the shadow of Amaterasu.

"She wants to become a real existence above the body of His Highness Amaterasu."

Yuying said, and looked at Bawei who was on the side with some affection:

"That's why she was following your friend at that time..."
