Do You Want to Become a True God?

The other party was using their power to intimidate her, and it would be too much of a stretch for her to suppress them on her own.

"Who told you to rush so fast?"

Despite making sarcastic remarks, Nibuya Morika immediately completed the Shikai of her Zanpakutō and unleashed various Kido to provide support.

"Perfect timing to test its methods with you."

Natsukawa Masuzu then had the Star Platinum swarm forward.

"Sevant, don't be in such a rush next time."

Takanashi Rikka said earnestly.

With the addition of the three, the pressure on Dekomori Sanae was greatly reduced.

The group fought side by side, battling fiercely against the enormous creature in the sky.

However, the thoughts of sentient beings are not inexhaustible; under intense consumption, they quickly begin to shrink.

"Now!"

Suddenly someone spoke.

From the shadows, Kato Megumi, who was in stealth mode, suddenly unleashed a fatal stab.

"Ah!!"

The Spirit Woman let out a painful roar, then shrank into a ball and burrowed back into the Laughingless Cat Statue.

I hope...

Just as it was preparing to move away and escape, a hand suddenly landed on its head.

This was accompanied by a slightly amused tone.

"Wait a moment."

73

Chapter 73 Do you want to become a true god?

An indescribable, terrifying pressure came from his shoulder, and the teleportation spell he was about to activate immediately collapsed.

"I... I can't move."

At that moment, even the Spirit Woman hiding in the statue felt a tremor in her heart.

If it still has a heart...

"Miss Cat Spirit, may I call you that?"

"Regarding what you've been doing lately, I think you need to stay and explain yourself to everyone, otherwise you'll truly become our enemy."

Hasegawa Izumi's tone was calm, with a slight smile on her lips.

What seemed like a very polite declaration brought the Spirit Woman the most terrifying feeling.

It had never felt such power before; it was not a difference in quality, but a more fundamental difference.

Because of its inherent characteristics, it can see more clearly than humans can.

"Anything is fine... You can call me whatever you like."

The Spirit Woman emerged from the statue again, forcing a smile, and bowed slightly with great respect.

At this moment, the girls from the Far East Magic Society gathered around.

"Why didn't you just admit your mistake sooner? You had to wait for the Lord Sage to intervene. Now you know fear, don't you, Death?"

Dekomori Sanae walked over with her head held high.

Apart from Takanashi Rikka, Nibuya Morika and Natsukawa Masuzu both gave her disdainful looks.

Where did this lackey come from?!

It has absolutely no class.

"So, let's have a good talk... I think your ideas are incorrect."

Nibuya Morika continued.

Why?

The Spirit Woman stubbornly raised her head.

"If you truly had the ability to fulfill everyone's wishes and create a world that everyone finds perfect, that might be a good thing. But unfortunately, you simply can't do it. Your obsession will only bring more misfortune to those people... Once you get something, you'll want more. The chasm of human desires can never be filled."

Natsukawa Masuzu turned her head to look at the horizon, her beautiful silver hair being blown about by a gust of wind.

"According to a certain world, hope cancels out despair; the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Once everyone starts chasing after your existence, are you sure you can handle it? What you call the will of the masses is actually a shackle for you, isn't it...?"

Takanashi Rikka activated her Sharingan during the battle, allowing her to see even more detailed things.

"Dekumori, there's nothing to say to you."

Dekomori Sanae snorted and turned her head away.

The Spirit Woman fell silent after hearing this.

"Kato, what about you?"

Hasegawa Izumi suddenly spoke up.

Kato Megumi's figure appeared as if it had suddenly spawned in a game.

Everyone present was taken aback.

I almost forgot there was still one person there.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with being ordinary."

The girl said expressionlessly.

You don't actually think you're just an ordinary person, do you?

They were all internally complaining.

"I'm a little confused..."

The Spirit Woman held back for a long time before finally uttering these words.

"Then think about it yourself first."

Hasegawa Izumi nodded, then walked to the other side.

The girls looked in the direction he left, their expressions varied, but none of them followed him; instead, they stayed by the Spirit Woman's side.

"Oh my, has this important person finally found time to pay attention to my daughter?"

Shinomiya Kaguya said with a hint of jealousy.

"Izumi-chan, what's going on? I don't understand at all! Explain this to me!"

The usually innocent and lively girl was unusually annoyed, biting her lip and questioning him resentfully.

"That's a long story."

Hasegawa Izumi ignored Kaguya's teasing and instead looked at the cherry-haired girl.

"Then let's get straight to the point."

Fujiwara Chika puffed out her cheeks.

He then offered an explanation of what happened after the celestial change.

Shinomiya Kaguya had been harboring deep resentment, suddenly shifted her attention.

Whether it's her or Chika-chan, their understanding of the world is still superficial.

"When did this world become so unfamiliar!?"

Fujiwara Chika looked dazed, her eyes darting around, and her body swaying back and forth.

"I see, so that's how you put it."

Touching her chin with her fingers, Shinomiya Kaguya seemed to be deep in thought.

"And Izumi-chan, and Rikka- chan, why did you keep it from me?"

You didn't ask either?

This rhetorical question left Fujiwara Chika speechless.

"Also, the Far East Magic Society was established a long time ago; it's just that you lack the talent."

Hasegawa Izumi then waved her finger in front of her, making her feel even more ashamed.

"Waaaaah..."

"You all have such malicious intentions!"

She covered her face and wept, then started acting out.

Shinomiya Kaguya picked up the conversation, saying, "What are you going to do with that guy? To be fair, it shouldn't be considered evil, right?"

For most people, it was a real blessing.

"That depends on its own choice."

Hasegawa Izumi a mysterious smile.

"Alright, that's your business now, we won't keep you company any longer... Fujiwara, let's go."

"Oh oh."

Seeing that she had no room to intervene, Shinomiya Kaguya called out.

"By the way, Chika, did you also come here to make a wish?"

A voice suddenly came from behind.

"Hehehe, Izumi-chan, I'm telling you... Waaaaah!"

Fujiwara Chika chuckled foolishly, turning her head as if about to reveal the secret, when Shinomiya Kaguya covered her mouth from behind.

"Don't pry into a girl's secrets!"

The girl said something shyly, then hurriedly ran away.

Hasegawa Izumi smiled to herself and turned back.

Surrounded by people, the Spirit Woman fell into a state of inner turmoil.

But gradually, it decided to stay true to itself.

Its birth originated from the thoughts of all living beings; it is because of everyone's wishes that it, as a statue, possessed a spiritual quality.

Therefore, it wants to repay those humans who need it.

"Have you thought it through?"

Takanashi Rikka kept a close eye on its changing expressions.

"That's right."

The Spirit Woman's expression changed.

Just then, Hasegawa Izumi walked over.

"I will not change myself, because this is the meaning of my existence... I came into this world because everyone hopes for a better future."

This time, the Spirit Woman met her gaze without flinching.

"It's good that you can stand by your own ideas, but... do you have the ability to do so?"

"Whether you have the ability or not, you can only know by doing it."

"What if your indifference leads them to an even more hopeless future?"

"This..."

The Spirit Woman hesitated, because it could not make a guarantee.
