If you don't attack me, the world will be destroyed

"Are you sure you want to do this? Although he looked like a friend in the previous contact, I'm not sure the other party is really a friend." Reiko Natsume was not stupid, and she quickly thought clearly under the reminder of Shinji Kirihara some things.

To be honest, she doesn't want to doubt Inari God, not only because of Mr. Cat, but also because when she came to Gao Tianyuan to meet each other several times in the past, the other party always made her feel lonely. A little consolation - compared to other gods, Inari is a very interesting god.

In Natsume Reiko's heart, she once regarded the other party as a friend, although she was not sure whether the other party also regarded herself as a friend.

Shinji Kirihara nodded seriously, "Although I don't know if my guess is correct, but the other party may be our biggest gain here this time."

Gods... what kind of existence?

Shinji Kirihara touched the Kusanagi sword in his hand. He didn't know whether the opponent was good or bad, but...feeling the power in his body and the miracles he had mastered, he was not afraid even of gods.

"If the opponent's strength is stronger than mine, don't worry about anything else, just rush out under my cover."

"You know my power. Death is just a common occurrence for me. Although you have been endowed with similar power by me, it is temporarily unusable due to the lack of some special equipment."

"So, don't imitate the characters in movies and anime, if the situation is wrong, just run away." Shinji Kirihara said seriously.

Natsume Reiko nodded with a smile.

Then, under Shinji Kirihara's gaze, a green and khaki-yellow energy burst out of her body, and then slowly poured into the ground in front of her.

Soon, the earth seemed to regain some vitality. A wheat seed slowly took root and germinated in front of the two of them, and then grew into a huge wheat ear as tall as a person.

Looking at the huge ears of wheat in front of him, Shinji Kirihara swallowed. For some reason, he had an urge to eat the ears of wheat in front of him. This seemed to be a special instinct engraved in his genes.

Eating what's in front of him... seems to give him a kind of...evolution!

It's just that Shinji Kirihara restrained his impulse.

The ears of wheat withered slowly, and then condensed into a humanoid creature.

"Pfft..." When the humanoid creature appeared in front of the two, Natsume Reiko, who had been very nervous, couldn't hold back her laughter.

"Inari God...how did you become like this?" Natsume Reiko pursed her lips and smiled.

Shinji Kirihara also had a strange look on his face.

Before Inari appeared, Shinji Kirihara had flashed many images of each other in the shrine.

But when he appeared, Shinji Kirihara found that the words "little guy" and "god" did not match at all.

Yes little one.

I don't know the reason, but the Inari god who appeared in front of the two of them looked like a child about three or four years old. Although he was well-dressed and looked a little majestic, but matched with his "age", it gave people a sense of dignity. It's a very cute feeling.

"Don't laugh! It's not your fault that I became like this!"

"If you inject all the power I left you here, I will definitely look much better than now!" After hearing Natsume Reiko's ridicule, the other party couldn't help jumping up and said angrily.

"So...you really asked Madara to bring me those powers?" Natsume Reiko looked at Inari God with her chin in her hand.

"That guy stole it, but it was stolen with my acquiescence." Inari God glanced at his body and said with his head drooping.

"Why are you doing this?" Natsume Reiko asked.

"Of course it's for today." Inari God set his eyes on Shinji Kirihara.

"Now all the gods are gone, but I am still alive, and now I am the Lord of Gaotianyuan!" He put his hands on his hips and made a big villain look.

"Tell the truth!" Natsume Reiko walked up to him, picked up his collar and lifted him up.

Inari God waved his limbs indiscriminately, "You bastard, let me go quickly, you are blaspheming! I will curse you!"

Natsume Reiko didn't speak, just flicked his forehead with the fingers of the other hand.

"It hurts..." Inari God covered his forehead and said with teary eyes.

Shinji Kirihara's expression became even weirder.

This(TM) is Hachi...This(TM) is Inari God?

"If you don't tell the truth, I'm going to spank your ass." Natsume Reiko looked at the other party with a majestic face.

Inari muttered a few words in a low voice, and then said helplessly, "Put me down first."

Natsume Reiko put Inari God on the ground, and then stared at him intently.

"It can be said now."

"My purpose, as you can probably guess, is related to [Reaper]." Inari said indifferently.

really...

"In your era, you all knew that [Death God] would appear?" Shinji Kirihara couldn't help asking.

"To be precise, we knew about it earlier." Inari God waved his hand, and a stool made of vines grew on the ground, and he jumped on it and said while shaking his little feet.

After that, he looked at Shinji Kirihara and Reiko Natsume standing in front of him, and made two vine chairs for them.

"In this case... why didn't you choose to stop it but let it appear?" Shinji Kirihara asked in a deep voice.

In the records of the special class, the gods when [Detective] appeared, and the gods including Inari God almost ceased to be active in the world. are reduced without limit.

After the fourth rule completion of [Reaper], it was as if all the gods had been killed by [Reaper]. Even the most pious priestesses and priests could not contact the gods, and even forgot that the gods really existed.

In the eyes of outsiders, the gods of Gao Tianyuan are nothing more than paper tigers in front of [Reaper], they will shatter at the first blow.

Shinji Kirihara couldn't understand, if they knew about [Reaper] a long time ago, why didn't they stop the birth of [Reaper]?

"Because its appearance cannot be prevented, and it is also because of interests." Inari God's expression was inexplicable.

"Can't stop?" Shinji Kirihara was a little surprised.

The future can be changed.

Even Shinji Kirihara's perception of time can determine this.

If Inari God and the others knew about the appearance of [Death God] in the long past, then it should be very simple for them to change the future.

"This is related to the birth of the gods." Inari God's expression carried some memories.

"As you think, the essence of gods is similar to that of monsters. They are all experimental products born when human beings study weirdness and miracles."

"However, compared with monsters, gods are more successful, because every god is the master of ability miracles."

Ability-type miracles are similar to Shinji Kirihara's 【Miracle·Steel Slash】, 【Miracle·Wind Barrier】or Koizumi Koko's 【Red Magic】.

"Whether it's monsters or gods, they are actually experiments by human wise men on the power of human minds."

"In the beginning, this kind of experiment was to seal this kind of power, because people's hearts are uncertain, even if they are guided by people, some uncontrollable and powerful weirdness will still be born."

"Therefore, the original wise men believed that the only way to allow human beings to truly live a happy and healthy life is to seal or even abolish this power."

"However, after several generations of hard work, they found that it is almost impossible to seal this kind of power."

"So, they retreated and started experiments to master this power."

"The way to turn weirdness into wonder was also worked out at that time."

Speaking of this, Inari God smiled, with a complicated expression on his face, "You probably don't know that in the beginning, there were only weirdness and no miracles in the world."

"People can only use the weird power to a limited extent at most, and they will not completely master all the weird power after going through some "tests" like now."

Shinji Kirihara and Reiko Natsume were stunned.

There are only weird but no miracles in the world?

If so, how hopeless would the world be then?

Although from now on, in the struggle against weirdness, the Special Investigation Bureau has the upper hand, but this is all because of the emergence of miracles.

But even if there are miracles that can be fully controlled by man, there will still be great casualties in the face of weird events.

And before... only collisions with weird and weird rules...

If you don't pay attention, they may be completely killed by the weirdness they use, and even life is worse than death!

"It's actually not that bad." Seeing the faces of Shinji Kirihara and Natsume Reiko, Inari God understood some of their thoughts and continued, "After all, people were relatively simple at that time, or the power of the human heart was difficult at that time. Centralized, so even if there are any weirdnesses, it's generally easy to fix."

"At least it's easier to solve than it is now."

"After all, most of the origins of weirdness start from urban legends, and because of official guidance, most of the stories that can be sung and resonate with human hearts are mostly stories that good and evil are rewarded and approach justice."

"The weirdness born in this situation is still easy to find the law."

"It is precisely because of this reason that the special investigation bureau in ancient times was not as bad as you think. Even in my opinion, compared with the present, the special investigation bureau in the past time was easier."

"After all, even if something like the Internet has strict controls, it is easy to breed powerful weirdness."

In ancient times, it was very difficult for people to know and pass on a thing, so some weird births had a lot of chance.

But in modern times, due to the development of communication technology, one thing can spread all over the world in a short period of time. When billions of people around the world are thinking about the same thing, weirdness may be born from the hearts of some people. out.

"If this is the case, then the people above should prohibit the emergence of technologies such as the Internet and even television." Shinji Kirihara asked.

"Blindly blocking or even controlling thoughts will not solve the problem. You can control human behavior and control human mouths, but there is no way to control human hearts."

"In the past, there was a country with clear classes and division of labor. In that country, everyone was asked to do only one thing from birth. The whole country was like a huge machine, and everyone in it was one of them. important parts."

"It's just that within a short period of time after implementing similar regulations in that country, a weirdness called [Freedom] was born."

"More and more people started to fight for [freedom], and since then, it has become impossible to suppress something from its appearance."

"It's like a spring, the more you suppress it, the stronger it will rebound."

Shinji Kirihara still had a lot of doubts, but he didn't ask in the end.

If it's just an ordinary world, and weirdness is just a certain rule, then naturally there are many ways to bypass this rule.

But in this world, although weirdness also has many regular abilities, they are not rigid rules.They have certain instincts and can continue to evolve at the same time, so many of the methods he thinks can be bypassed may not necessarily work.

Even if it works, it's probably been patched by weird evolutions.

"I'm considered a relatively ancient god. After all, longing for a fertile land and longing for a good harvest has been a very simple but highly respected longing for a long time in the past."

"Perhaps in the whole world, I don't have a long history, but in Japan, I am essentially the first batch of gods created by miracles."

"And the reason why I can become a god is only because at that time, I mastered a miracle that can make the land fertile and the crops have a good harvest."

"Because of this miracle, I became a god on high, and because of this miracle, I can only acquiesce in the appearance of [Death God]."

Chapter 260 The Birth and Selection of the Seventh God

When mentioning the past, Inari God had a trace of nostalgia on his face.

Although it has been a long time, every time he recalls it, it is a memory that makes him feel happy and worth remembering.

It's just that those memories are only the beginning part that makes people feel happy.

"Essentially, weirdness and wonder are the same."

"Though the essence is the same, some miracles possess a power that others, strangely, do not possess—a power that can turn a man into a god."

"A miracle with such power is a miracle of ability."

"Ability-type miracles are the first miracles to be discovered. It is different from other weirdnesses. Generally speaking, the first birth of ability-type miracles comes from a certain incredible ability of human beings."

"That is, the combat power beyond ordinary people, superb farming, textile, smelting technology, etc."

"When a person masters a similar technology and is spread out, the original ability of 1 will become tens or even hundreds of thousands along with gossip."

"Some legends are believed by few people, but some legends are believed by countless people."

"People believe that somewhere far away, there is indeed a person who has the ability to forge magical weapons, kill monsters, and turn wasteland into fertile soil."

"Under the power of this belief, combined with a small amount of luck, the first miracles of ability came into being."

"It only needs to be beyond the ability of ordinary people, and it only needs to be believed by some people to obtain powerful power like arm command..."

"When the first person with a similar ability appeared, the whole world fell into a state of madness."

"Under the guidance of some people, various experiments began."

"Some experiments succeeded, creating people like me who have mastered miracles of abilities. Some experiments failed, and finally produced monsters, ghosts, devils, demons, and even more terrible disasters than them."

"However, even as a successful product, we still haven't satisfied them."

"Since we can obtain the power called miracle, then...can we obtain a more powerful power that can erase the weirdness?"

"Even, can you raise your expectations higher and gain more powerful power?"

"So, the god-making plan came into being, and we have transformed from masters of ability-type miracles into gods."

"As gods, we have indeed gained great power, but we can't be as perfect as they think."

"We have no way to completely eliminate the weirdness, no way to achieve omniscience and omnipotence, we just amplify the power of miracles we have mastered, and at the same time acquire the ability to live forever."
