Chapter 352 – Gishin (4)
Gishin (機神).
A created god.
It was one of the things I heard about when I learned about status, as I learned that wives are all transcendental beings born to become gods, sage gods, post-heaven gods… Or beings who inherit the bloodline of gods.
Kishin was one of the post-heavenly gods who gained godhood through faith. Unlike the general post-heavenly gods who were born through faith received over countless years, Gishin referred to a god who was created as a kind of apostle.
While most post-cheon gods were created by people fearing their power or appearance, or by being worshiped, faith was built up, but in the case of Gishin, faith was built up for a certain purpose, and it felt like a kind of idol.
Of course, if that means that gods are easily created, even in the current world run by the world government, which has suppressed all religions that could pose a threat to the system, various gods have emerged through believers who have not completely disappeared despite such suppression. But of course, that didn’t happen.
It is about creating a god.
There was no way something like that would be easy.
From the beginning, the general post-cheon gods were beings that were created by accumulating faith over at least hundreds of years.
Even if there are hundreds or thousands of people who have maintained their faith despite the oppression, they have to continue devoting their faith for a long enough period of time to be able to exist.
Most of them are post-heavenly gods created through the accumulation of faith in real beings, so it is questionable whether godhood will be created for ‘gods’ of other dimensions who do not even have substance in the first place.
In any case, in order to create Gishin, it was necessary to shorten at least several hundred years.
And, among the methods, the most effective was none other than human sacrifice.
The existence of Gishin was something that had to be sacrificed in tens or millions of human lives to even have the possibility of being created.
So that means…
“…Are you saying that Cheonma is actually a bitch?”
I knew that the twenty-two-year-old hero was a hero in words, but in other words, he was no different from a massacre.
Even Hoaran, one of my beloved wives, is like that.
It was the fault of those who tried to make a fuss about the centipedes in a world that was already a mess, but I had heard before that Hoaran was one of those who preyed on various bitches, including many vampires.
To my eyes, Hoaran’s hand was just thin and white.
I knew that hundreds of people could easily get over the blood on her hands.
Of course, there was a big difference between killing people to stop them from destroying the world and gaining godhood by sacrificing people to become a god.
I said that because all I could see was that bastard, that bastard, and this bastard, but Hoa-ran shook her head.
“Although the Heavenly Demon deals with demonic energy, that does not mean his disposition is evil. If that were the case, wouldn’t she have done something about her Heavenly Demon long ago? Probably, if they had fought each other sincerely, no matter how good it looked, they would have ended up in mutual destruction.”
The Heavenly Demon is strong enough to destroy Hoaran…?
“Well, don’t worry so much. Isn’t that what it says? “Didn’t she say from the beginning that her true nature was not evil?”
So she was reassured by Ho Aran’s words that there would be no fight.
“Then let’s say it’s not a bitch… Then what’s the problem?”
Anyway, I thought it might be a good thing if he wasn’t such a bad person, but Hoa-ran smiled bitterly when he saw me like that and continued.
“The problem is that she is a kishin. “I told you before that a post-heavenly god is a being who has received godhood through faith and thus has a temperament based on the faith given to him.”
Heard.
This meant that since they were beings that gained power through ‘divinity’ that came from faith, they were bound to that faith and divinity.
In the first place, beings born as gods were extremely rare.
One in one world.
Innate gods were rare enough to be considered that way.
Beings who were born as gods from the beginning and possessed divinity.
The gods of the main characters who only appeared in the mythology of the world were the gods of heaven.
Since the very essence of such gods is made up of concepts or notions that make up the world, it would not be appropriate to say that they are bound by divinity.
Because they were divine beings in themselves.
In comparison, the situation was different for the Hucheonsin, which had a large number.
These were people who literally acquired godhood by receiving faith.
Roughly speaking, it was said that if there were a posthumous god who became the god of sex, that god would become a nymphomaniac with an incredibly strong sexual desire, even if it was not his will.
Additionally, it may change into a form or species that matches that perception.
Perhaps, if such a god were to arise in this world, wouldn’t he be a god in the form of a race such as a succubus or a satyr?
According to the world’s perception, when having sex, those two races will come out first, so things change according to that perception.
Even if you do not have such a will, even if the race you were born with was not that way, the faith you are given makes it so.
However, even ordinary post-heavenly gods were generally not bound by the divinity they had acquired.
Since ancient times, faith comes from the achievements they made before becoming a post-heavenly god, so in most cases, they reap what they have sown, so it can be seen that they are not forced to do something that goes against their nature.
If there was a being who became the god of sex, it was clear that this bastard was a bastard who only had sex a lot.
“Then, what happens to the case of Gishin created through forced belief?”
“…Uh.”
Not willingly, but intentionally.
Hoa-ran said that Kisin, which was created not by one’s own will but by the wishes of others, is different.
“Unlike ordinary post-heavenly spirits, Kishins are imbued with the appearance desired by those who created them.”
Because it was made by someone else, not what you wanted.
Because he accepted their faith and became a god.
At the same time as the power I didn’t want, I was bound by it.
I became bound by the name of faith.
“Perhaps, when her Heavenly Demon became her spirit, those who wanted to make her their spirit made her carry many of her burdens. “It’s just a guess, but I think that what those who made her Heavenly Demon her spirit wanted for her was ‘a warrior who has completed her martial arts.'”
Hoaran said that with a bitter smile.
“Thanks to you, Lilith and my wife… In fact, all of the twenty-two heroes have been hit hard by the Heavenly Demon.”
Thanks to you, I roughly understood the situation.
I don’t know if the Heavenly Demon was a double bitch or not, but at least one thing was certain: she was crazy about fighting.
Even if she is not self-willed, if she is a warrior who pursues the completion of her nothingness as Hoa-ran speculates, she is a spirit who cannot tolerate those stronger than herself and has a destiny to continue fighting and ultimately win.
Those who made the heavenly demons and spirits wished for that.
I don’t know what a perfect nothing is, but it makes no sense for a complete nothing to be defeated by someone, so a contradiction arises.
In other words, she is a kishin who must become invincible and never lose.
However…
“What does that have to do with the reason the Heavenly Demon came to visit me?”
Ho Aran blushed slightly at my question and said as if she was embarrassed.
“I don’t know exactly what kind of binding the Cheonma became a kishin, but the Cheonma repeatedly wanted to fight against the strong. She fought, kept fighting, and was determined to win. But she never completely defeated the Heavenly Demon Lilith, the main maid, and Justitia.”
She was Hoa-ran, who added that in the case of her and Justitia, it was not a life-or-death struggle, but rather a sparring of strength, so it was possible, but she was amazing at that alone.
Wait for a sec.
As for Hoaran and Justitia…
“Then what about Lilith?”
Since it was a sparring match between Hoaran and Justitia, not a life-and-death struggle, I was told that they could achieve a draw in a sparring match with the Heavenly Demon, but Lilith was the only one missing, so when I asked about it, Hoaran said.
“In Lilith’s case, she fought the Heavenly Demon one hundred and forty-five times and won them all.”
It seemed that Lilith was, by all accounts, the strongest among the twenty-two heroes.
The lower knight, Lilith, was a transcendental being born from the beginning with the qualities of an innate god, comparable to a god among the gods mentioned above.
A being born directly from one world, no matter how many hundreds of thousands of people it had replaced, could not easily be defeated by a kishin who was at best a created god.
Hoarran was on par with Lilith in her realm, and Justitia was also beaten by Lilith in her rare, so if she was on par with those two, it must have been difficult for Lilith.
One thing that both shamans and wizards had in common was that the more they prepared, the stronger they became.
And even in the Fox Forest, which was the domain of Hoaran, and Justitia’s own rare, it was clear that Lilith was far superior to both of them in terms of individual force alone.
Of course, fighting isn’t all about strength…
Hoaran could run away endlessly by using the spell he used to bind Lilith last time, and Justitia would similarly have many ways and means to avoid Lilith.
Well, the three of them never really fought with each other in the first place, so it was okay to argue about this.
“Anyway, it wasn’t until after losing to Lilith one hundred and forty-five times that the Heavenly Demon began to raise disciples. According to the original woman’s guess, she was thinking that the Heavenly Demon was unable to fulfill the bond she was born with, so she was trying to achieve it in another way. If her innate destiny is the perfection of nothingness, she can achieve it through her disciples, and she can develop herself through nurturing her disciples.”
It seems that he was unable to defeat Lilith until the end, so he started looking for another way.
As a result, it seems that among the twenty-two heroes, the Heavenly Demon was created, famous for having over thousands of disciples.
Umm…
Well, something feels a little off.
“…Then why did the Heavenly Demon send his disciple to me…?”
“It is probably clear that Hanzo is trying to take you as his disciple. Since all of the children that the Heavenly Demon had raised were only humans, perhaps the entanglement of the Heavenly Demon was to complete nothingness with a human body. And, you, Hanzo… Are the most talented human being that her true wife knows.”
I blinked at Hoaran’s words.
“Me?”
Since when?
“Don’t look at me like I’m strange. Hanzo: Think for yourself. Isn’t it true that an ordinary person, without knowing anything, was able to use strong techniques, cast spells, and even use magic in less than a year? Anyone who looks at it cannot help but see it as a record from the beginning of time.”
No, that’s true.
All of that…
No, it’s a gift.
I said that, and Hoaran tilted his head and said.
“But isn’t that something we keep to ourselves? Moreover, even if you don’t have that, it is clear that your current body, Hanzo, has outstanding talent.”
I knew why.
Because I knew that through physical transformation, the bowl itself became stronger and larger than before.
Maybe it was in the past, but now I am truly a talented person (forced).
“No, but.”
Aren’t I already supposed to be Hoaran’s disciple?
This has already been used several times, and if you are a Heavenly Demon, you probably know that there are many ties to the world government.
In the meantime, you’re targeting someone who has already become someone else’s student…?
“…I know what you’re thinking, but if you came here after knowing that fact, it would probably be even more bothersome. I’m sure if she came to her real wife and asked her to bet on you as Hanzo, she would do it, but she wouldn’t give up. On the contrary, she would like Hanzo, her disciple, even more because she would consider him to be a man of outstanding talent.”
You’re a person with those kinds of tastes.
The type of person who wants to have something if they like it, regardless of whether it already belongs to someone else or not.
Huh.
Now I know for sure.
Maybe I’m fucked.
