Kanako felt that something was going wrong...
To put it simply, it was like seeing a ghost.
It was clear that she had the upper hand before, but just as she was waiting for the final decision, the situation suddenly changed subtly. She fell into a slightly embarrassing situation and had no choice but to withdraw her troops and try to return to the court and regroup.
However, the opponent also saw this opportunity and began to chase her back.
The situation suddenly turned around and took a turn for the worse.
The fact that she did not win the opponent as smoothly as expected, but was forced to retreat, has shaken her faith to a certain extent. After all, for the army of believers she brought, seeing this unfolding, It is undoubtedly a blow.
Naturally, they would not say that they would immediately fall into disgrace, as they had no loyalty at all.
I won’t say that after seeing my own god fail once, I immediately became distrustful and ungrateful, became complaining, and doubted my choice of belief...it wouldn’t reach such a level right away, otherwise this wouldn’t be what it is.” Believers", but all members are "speculators".
In fact, they are still very pious, and they still subconsciously defend their own gods, criticizing them for the opposite problem, trying their best to use their worldview to give reasonable explanations, and trying to make the whole thing come true... But faith The wavering of the heart originally refers to the level of deep consciousness.
They will not immediately jump back and abandon the beliefs they previously insisted on.
But unless you are a complete and utter idiot fan, otherwise, there will be a seed planted in your heart. And once this seed is planted, things will become very troublesome.
It is time-consuming and laborious to clean it out of the hearts of believers, and it is not a thankless task. After all, it is a troublesome seed that may accelerate growth and take root without knowing when, just like a time bomb that will explode without knowing when. , it will break your muscles and bones when it detonates.
That's why Kanako immediately and decisively chose to retreat when she noticed that a similar situation occurred among the believers on her side.
But the other party also knew her current embarrassment, so they chose to pursue her fiercely.
In this regard, Kanako did not give up the confrontation, just as Suwako did not resist at all after her invasion, but directly surrendered and handed over the territory. There was also a tug-of-war between the two for a long time... …It was only recently that I was finally ready to give up.
Kanako was naturally the same, but this time, it was her turn to taste the defensive side.
Especially during the previous tug-of-war, she had successfully encroached on most of Suwako's surrounding areas and laid the foundation for her faith. This is easy to understand. Under normal circumstances, this is one of her achievements, and it is also a strategic choice to put pressure on Suwako.
There is nothing to criticize, and we cannot say that the original strategy was wrong.
However, now, these basic beliefs have become a constraint that drags her here——
Unless she can decisively abandon these territories and her believers, and then retreat gracefully... Suwako belongs to the indigenous god. From a principle level, she cannot easily abandon her land and cannot leave too far from the area where she believes. Kanna But not my wife. If she wanted to do this, she could actually leave.
but.
She can't do this. She also has her own dignity. She just loses without saying whether she can accept it and goes back in despair. She just leaves behind the numerous believers who believe in her. , not only did he escape in embarrassment, but also left the believers to fend for themselves...
She can't do this.
Since gods control people's beliefs, they should also shoulder corresponding obligations and responsibilities. This purple-haired sister-like god thinks so, so she can only grit her teeth and carry it.
What followed was another three to five months of tug-of-war, with the Iron Giant showing off his power again and again, shaking the sky and the earth with his shocking giant-like image, setting off destructive storms and releasing deadly torrents. Ray, Kanako's faith was gradually shaken severely.
Finally, things have turned, and I see that defeat is a foregone conclusion——
She had no choice but to make an appointment with Suwako, showing her intention to admit defeat.
…………
The meeting place was next to Lake Suwa.
This can be regarded as a manifestation of Kanako's sincerity.
The huge steel golem has been upgraded several times during this period, and its height has reached a full fifty meters. Like a giant tower shining in the sun and reflecting the metallic luster, it stands quietly in Lake Suwa. Margin, because of the blessing of the power of the earth, did not let its mass have much impact on the land.
At this moment, the steel giant lowered his hands and his head slightly.
Both eyes no longer emit electronic red light, and are obviously in a standby state.
But even so, it has become a magnificent and beautiful scenery in the eyes of the nearby primitive tribesmen, and it comes with buffs such as boosting morale, increasing happiness, stability and productivity, and so on.
Every day, I see the giant tower-like giant divine soldiers standing over there from a distance. Everyone's face is red, their mood is high, and they start the day's work full of energy. This full sense of peace of mind is not to mention very effective. The belief is Self-motivation is more effective than any chicken blood...
Discovering that even the efficiency of obtaining the power of faith has been greatly increased, Suwako naturally placed this mobile wonder here, hoping that its attribute gains would continue to take effect. This period of time was originally set up like this, and it was not deliberately showing off. I wanted to give Kanako, who was opposite him at the negotiation table, a show of strength.
Even though the latter saw this thing placed next to him, he still looked unnatural.
She glanced at the young man in moon-white Taoist robes behind the blond loli, and vaguely felt the power of faith gathering in him, guessing his identity.
At the same time, Gu Mo also smiled calmly at the purple-haired royal sister-like god, his eyes also briefly fixed on the straw rope circle behind him, and he took a closer look at the artifact.
Kanako took a deep breath and looked squarely at the blond loli standing in front of her with her hands proudly folded. A few months ago, this person felt that she was about to complete the unification of this land and spread the myth of Yamato. The goddess who felt so energetic was now a little unhappy, helpless and frustrated.
However, she did not pretend to be mysterious, and she made her request very straightforwardly when she opened her mouth: "If I lose, let all this end here... There is only one condition, that is, I hope you can let go of those believers and don't do anything to them. Make a reckoning.”
"Humph, of course, I agreed..."
The blonde loli was in a very good mood. She wrinkled her delicate little nose and hummed slightly, but she still agreed immediately.
She doesn't like to control people's tempers in an overly cruel way. She was able to maintain restraint when she was hostile to Kanako before. Now, naturally, she will not insist on killing everyone after the other party expressed his intention to surrender.
However, such a ready agreement made Kanako on the opposite side a little surprised. She looked at the one-meter-two-meter-long animal in front of her hesitantly, as if she doubted the latter's statement and was considering whether such an easy agreement was credible. Yes, could he be deceiving himself?
"Hey! What's that look in your eyes!!"
Suwako suddenly became dissatisfied, the suspicious look in her eyes was too obvious.
"You... agreed too quickly, I don't dare to believe you..." Kanako twitched the corner of her mouth, her eyes were slightly wandering, and she said this in a subtle tone.
"What's your reason?" The blonde Loli's eyes couldn't help but wonder, "Do you still want to see me not agreeing and disagreeing in all kinds of ways, so that you can feel at ease?"
Aren't you here to surrender and negotiate terms? Naturally, the smoother the better, right?
Do you still hope that the conditions you proposed cannot be achieved, and come to negotiate with such strange ideas... Isn't this funny? Or does this woman actually not want to surrender, but just wants to break the negotiation, and then use her own hands to help her get a decent result?
Thinking like this, the blond Loli stared at Kanako in an even weirder way.
"That's not true. The main reason is that I heard that your reputation is not very good. You are a character who will immediately impose divine punishment as long as you are slighted."
Kanako hesitated and looked at the one meter two in front of him: "So I'm a little worried, afraid that you won't let go of those... peripheral residents who converted to me."
After all, if you are slighted a little bit, or feel a little bit neglected, you will be punished by God immediately.
So what will happen to those people near the border of this primitive kingdom who were originally influenced by her to some extent and whose beliefs were also biased toward her, but during this period of time, they converted because of their own efforts... What will happen?
It was because he was worried that his followers would be harshly and ruthlessly punished that he could not leave like this. Now he could only come and admit defeat, negotiate terms, and try to win leniency for those poor people, so that they would not be directly lowered to the gods. Kill as punishment.
"..."
"..."
Staring at the purple-haired sister with squinted eyes for a while, as if to confirm her statement, the blond loli sighed helplessly: "That was not done by me, it was a evil spirit under my control. That's what it looks like. I have taken great care to suppress my violent temper..."
She rules over various evil spirits in this land. One of them is the "Oshayomiya Goddess" who has an astonishing faith. She can be responsible for birth, agriculture, military, etc. thing, but it is indeed very violent.
Just as Kanako said, he is a terrifying god who will immediately punish the opponent and kill him if he is slighted.
Precisely because she was able to control this terrifying "Osami God", Suwako became the boss of this land, the pinnacle of indigenous gods, and gained stronger faith and support from people. But it seems that because of this, sometimes even the evil deeds are blamed on her.
That's what mythology is.
True and false will be confused and changed in the process of communication.
Behind the blond Lolita, a young man in a moon-white robe put his hand on his chin, thoughtfully.
