The Goddess of Magic Milmina's "success" seemed difficult to replicate, at least in Amun's eyes.
But to Gawain, this incident still gave him an idea—the Tendency-less Ideological Trend created by the Neural Network might be an unprecedentedly effective "purification method" for gods born from ideological trends.
Of course, the current Neural Network was still weak. Its peak scale of merely tens of thousands of nodes was nowhere near comparable to any existing religion in the world. But in Cecil, products of Magic Industrial such as the Neural Network had one greatest characteristic: they developed at an astonishing speed. Even if its scale was insufficient now, in one year, two years... one day, it would grow large enough to shake any divine authority in the world.
He did not explain these details to the Former God before him. He felt there was no need.
Amun was clearly still thinking about the Goddess of Magic's escape. He broke the silence with a trace of emotion in his voice. "I imagine more than one god has thought of a similar 'escape plan.' Even... my 'attempt' three thousand years ago should have inspired certain gods. Yet in the end, the only one who successfully carried out such a plan was the Goddess of Magic. That, too, was determined by her 'inclination.' She was born from the shallow faith of mages. From the very beginning of that belief system, mages regarded her merely as a kind of 'explanation' and 'support.' They had always admired solving problems through their own wisdom and strength rather than praying for divine gifts and salvation. That gave Milmina the opportunity to 'ignore' her believers' prayers.
"For most gods, it is difficult to so thoroughly 'ignore' the prayers of believers. They must respond, at least to some extent..."
