Roland was completely dumbfounded. Not only were there Gods in your family? The Supreme Gods could actually be elected? Was there an election and voting system? Was it possible to request a recount if one was dissatisfied with the voting results?
"Yes, Aishi's creator, His Majesty Aishi, has long since disappeared. The Supreme Gods are Cynthia, the Goddess of Chaos, and Cynthia, the Goddess of Order. Cynthia has been absent for a long time, so it can be said that the Supreme God is Cynthia. However, Cynthia's situation is somewhat special. 'She' isn't actually an independent individual. Instead, she represents the concept of Chaos' evolution. "
"The Holy War of Dawn has been going on for more than six hundred years. This is already the third Cynthia. Every so often, the previous Cynthia will retire due to exhaustion. The Gods will then compete against each other, and a new Cynthia will be born. The third Supreme God Competition is happening right now. The chance to become a Supreme God is right in front of you. It's no wonder that all sorts of monsters and monsters will appear. "
With Godfrey's explanation, Rorschach gradually understood what had happened.
At the end of the Holy War of Dawn, the Dimensional Door opened. The Aishi, which was based on magic, began to have close contact with other dimensions and worlds. They even became a member of the Overwatch Alliance (similar to the Interstellar United Nations).
Many things changed because of this. For example, there were indeed fewer internal wars, and the various countries and species were indeed much more peaceful. However, this didn't mean that everything was over. In fact, the storm had only just begun.
Not only would there be friendly friends in the multiverse, there would also be ferocious wolves.
In order to become a member of an international faction, one would first have to prove one's own strength and confidence. If one's foundation wasn't enough, they wouldn't be able to resist the baptism of invading civilizations and Evil Gods. It was only natural that they would be reduced to "interstellar colonies" or "farms."
In the following several hundred years, the Aishi lived in pain and joy from the "baptism." The Gods and God culture had changed beyond recognition. The Gods who were once high above had all stepped down from their divine altars.
In the following several hundred years of war, many Gods had paid the price of dying. Naturally, many Gods had ascended to the position of Gods.
The Gods were no longer so distant or high above. Their existences could be understood. This was probably the most obvious change.
But no matter how things changed, in the eyes of the world, since the Goddess of Order and the Creator Goddess were both missing, the existence of the Supreme Goddess Cynthia was absolutely necessary as she was the controller of dimensional laws.
However, it seemed that the current Cynthia had not been in this position for long. A few years ago, the current Cynthia was exhausted and was planning to retire. The new Cynthia had not been confirmed yet.
This was both a heavy responsibility and an invitation to climb to the top.
Countless powerhouses yearned for this opportunity, yet due to some special reasons, the number of people who had ignited their divine flames had suddenly decreased.
As a result, the number of people who became Gods last year exceeded 30,000, and the serial numbers of the War Gods were at least four digits.
"But I can guarantee that my Lord has absolutely no one competing for the same priesthood."
Duh, those people … those gods fought so hard to give themselves a serial number only because those divine titles were good concepts and easy to spread and understand. If you were to create a God of Games, would the Aishi People really understand?
"That's strange. Although there was no malice or falsehood in his words, it wasn't the complete truth."
Rorschach's strange talent was once again reminding him that the God of Games hadn't told him everything. But when he thought about it, this was only natural. If he casually gave information about the Gods to a passing student, that would truly be unreliable.
As for the God of Games … no matter how he thought about it, it was just a game.
Rorschach didn't further voice his doubts. Although he still didn't quite understand the religious atmosphere here, he knew that no matter what religion it was, questioning the God's rationality in front of them was the same as declaring war on their believers.
However, Godfrey seemed to have noticed Rorschach's doubts, and took the initiative to explain.
As it turned out, the gaming concepts that the God of Games represented weren't just simple concepts such as video games and children's games. Instead, the God of Games' divine title was' limited competition within the rules', 'limiting the scale of war', and 'virtual war'.
For specific examples, proxy wars, gambling fights, limited local wars, and Olympic-like sports competitions could all be included. However, it seemed that the current God of Games hadn't successfully expanded his divine title to that extent.
When Rorschach asked about the so-called general knowledge package, Godfrey also gave him an answer.
It turned out that this was a crystallization of memories. However, only an inconceivable existence like the Gods could instill this knowledge into the minds of mortals, just like how the prophets received divine enlightenment and guidance.
This required the consumption of divine power and the power of faith, so the receiver would also have to pay a certain price …
"Worship the Lord for half a year, and pray once every morning and night …"
This was barely acceptable. Simply reciting some teachings or divine words would count as a prayer.
"… Play games for half an hour every day, and write at least a thousand words of gaming experience every week. Don't worry about not being able to buy gaming equipment. Our Church constantly updates gaming equipment … "
Was this really the price? No pressure, no pressure at all.
"By the way, our Church can buy the latest games, including seventeen common planes and the constellations of three hundred and sixty-seven S-grade gaming companies."
This was a benefit, wasn't it? In that instant, Rorschach really wanted to worship this unreliable new God.
"When you win a competition or game, loudly recite the Lord's divine name, and thank the Lord for guiding you to victory. When you lose … please take off your divine emblem, and temporarily pretend that you're not a believer of the Lord."
Hey hey hey, isn't this too much? You're only a believer if you win? Pretend not to recognize you if you lose?
And with the cleric's explanation, Rorschach understood the reason as well. It turned out that many game enthusiasts in this city were believers of the God of Games, and they were blessed by the God of Games: they would be guided by a rainbow light if they won a competition.
Our God was still a little weak, and sometimes a little blind. If you lose and wear a divine emblem, the God wouldn't know who to guide, and the last few times the rainbow light pointed at the wrong person was a little embarrassing …
After a pleasant discussion with Gordor, Rorschach finally decided to accept the so-called general knowledge package from the Church of Games … Well, it was just a matter of interest, and definitely not because he was moved by the convenience of buying game benefits.
After all, Rorschach also had a good impression of the God of Games from their conversation.
"Let's solve the language problem first, and then look up books to determine the direction of my future class. Although unreliable, this playful God is at least more comfortable than the God of War."
Gordor seemed to be a mischievous God who liked to play games and joke around. His hobbies included spreading ACG culture and organizing various gaming competitions, but he had always walked the path of chaos and kindness … What kind of path was that?
"Probably to the extent where he likes to play pranks and fool around, but won't kill anyone."
The high priest helplessly facepalmed. As the priest of such a God, he often had to deal with the God's whims and whims, which put a lot of pressure on him as well.
Aside from a pair of spare glasses in his shirt pocket, it was also necessary to have some stomach medicine.
But compared to the distant and lofty Gods in his memories, this God enjoyed incense but did nothing.
This humanized God actually gave Rorschach a rather warm and favorable impression of him. And as a video game enthusiast, it didn't seem that difficult to accept temporarily believing in such a God … Perhaps he would even bless Rorschach's progress in video game technology. Yep, I'll repeat myself again. I definitely wasn't moved by the Holy Church's in-game discounts.
Although this God seemed to be a newbie, Rorschach didn't expect the God to help him with anything, since he just needed to solve the language problem first.
Under the high priest's guidance, Rorschach arrived at a small church.
"… This really is the style of the God of Games."
The church itself was quite normal, but the facilities around it were obviously abnormal.
On both sides of the church were a game store, a manga store, a weapon store, a game store, a game store, a game store, a doujinshi store, and various posters and booths reminded Rorschach of the legendary Akihabara … In that instant, Rorschach finally understood why it was said that Saul's largest ACG center was in the Holy Temple district.
Rorschach actually saw someone familiar there … Wasn't the person who was carrying a pile of paper bags in each hand, that the damn otaku Isabella?
In order to avoid being embarrassed, Rorschach lowered his head and quietly walked past her … but he didn't notice the playful smile on Isabella's face.
Although Rorschach was quite interested in the game store in front of the Church, he still first went to the Church's prayer area to install the common knowledge and language packs. Yep, it definitely wasn't because he was worried about being embarrassed if Isabella recognized him.
What he didn't know was that the moment he walked into the Church's prayer area, the high priest Godfrey had an expression of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
Perhaps only Godfrey knew how much pressure it was to be deceived … even if it was a well-intentioned deception, an ability user who could see through lies and evil intentions would feel.
Meanwhile, another person that Rorschach was familiar with walked out of the shadows.
She carried the golden emblem of the God of Games as she appeared in front of Godfrey.
"Your Excellency Gricasio, the Seventh God's Envoy, Holy Knight Captain Natasha Sue, has completed the mission of protecting and guiding the target. Your request is to return."
At this moment, Rorschach still didn't know that he had been scammed yet again. As expected, childhood sweethearts and whatnot were all things that specialized in scamming people.
He finished his prayer under the guidance of the elven priest, but before he could even check if the new knowledge in his mind was language knowledge, an excited voice popped up in his mind, causing his scalp to go numb.
