98: Sin God!

Shuya saw it.

He saw his Little Senior Sister lying on the bed, hugging a pillow and whispering, "It's been a week since we last met, Shuya- kun."

He watched as Mai- chan fiercely mauled the doll, muttering, "That idiot Shuya is doing it again! It's driving me crazy!"

He saw the Quintuplets huddled together sleeping, and his name appeared in their sleep-talking.

He saw Hanazawa Sakura talking to Inoue Hikoo and worried about his safety.

Everything.

Every little thing exudes the Power of Will.

In an instant Shuya understood what this Divine Light was.

The Power of Faith!

The Power of Faith!

Shuya quickly guessed the reason.

He's an idol... a genius famous throughout the entire Earth Federation!

He debuted as an infant and has accumulated popularity along the way. Countless people know him, recognize him, and like him. All of this is due to the invisible Power of Will gathering around him.

But he is not a god and cannot directly utilize the Power of Faith, nor is he aware of this, and has never realized it.

--- Shuya's efforts since childhood have not been in vain.

This Power of Will of faith has always been concentrated within him.

If he had been struck by Strange Arts in the outside world, he should have been able to detect its existence, but now that the world is at peace, there is no such opportunity.

The rules within the Divine Domain are rather mysterious, Shuya's Power of Faith was directly triggered by this stimulation.

Shuya looked at the Divine Light emanating from his body and remembered something Li Shuhong had mentioned.

In ancient Great Hua, emperors and officials were rarely harmed by Strange Arts when the regime was stable, because the people's will was strong and a powerful Power of Will protected them.

This power was called "Dragon Aura" in ancient times!

It is now called the Power of Faith. It is slightly different from the Power of Will, but they are basically the same thing, except that it cannot be cultivated on one's own.

The divine Divine Light surrounding Shuya was undoubtedly the Power of Faith.

His Power of Faith doesn't mean that many people are followers of Shuya; anyone who has a good impression of him or likes him will contribute a little bit of their Power of Will in some mysterious way.

This Power of Will gathered on him formed a layer of Power of Faith.

The aura of Power of Faith surged into the sky, contending with the Fox God.

"Um?"

The Fox God in the Shrine finally noticed Shuya, but it didn't even look away, its gaze fixed on Rena from afar.

"This person... I think I know her?"

His gaze fell into utter bewilderment.

Rena, sitting on the fox, still had a blank look in her eyes, but the closer she got to the Shrine, the more her heart pounded.

Oh no, there's no time left!

Shuya stopped standing there dumbfounded.

He reached up and pulled at the sky, and Divine Light condensed into a white cloak in his hand.

He casually draped it over his shoulders.

After donning the cloak, Shuya was no longer afraid of the Fox God's divine might.

His inability to use the Power of Faith remains unchanged.

However, slightly altering the form of Power of Faith within the Divine Domain is fine; otherwise, being bathed in divine Divine Light would significantly impair one's vision.

Shuya took a couple of steps, then charged up the stone steps with his knife, his cloak billowing in a straight line.

Long black hair, a white cloak, and an ice-blue sword.

Shuya's presence was unrestrained and flamboyant, but he failed to attract the Fox God's attention at all.

He was thinking of trying to divert the Fox God's attention away from Rena, but it seemed impossible.

Are we really going to wage war against a god?

Shuya was unsure whether he could defeat the Fox God.

In fact, so far, the Fox God has not actually made a move against him.

Neither the Yin Soldiers in front nor the divine might behind counts. The former is the automatic defense mechanism of the Divine Domain, and the latter is the radiation of the god's power, which He cannot perfectly control since He has just awakened.

Shuya's intuition hadn't raised any alarms, and the Fox God didn't seem to have any intention of killing Rena.

Just by looking at this Divine Domain, you can tell that the Fox God is a benevolent deity; otherwise, the Divine Domain wouldn't be so peaceful.

Although Shuya thought the same way, he didn't stop rushing upwards. His first priority was to rescue Rena.

The foxes running towards the mountaintop Shrine saw him approaching quickly, and the last pair stopped and turned to face Shuya.

The two foxes flicked their tails, and a string of fireballs shot out.

Section 111, Chapter 98: Sin God!

Shuya knew that he was protected by the Power of Faith and had nothing to fear from this weak Strange Arts.

To save time, he rushed forward, his cloak billowing with Divine Light.

The fireball exploded after Shuya hit it, but he emerged unharmed from the flames, kicked the fox on his right away, and reached out with his left hand to grab the fox on his left by the throat and throw it away.

"If you have no will to fight, then don't block my way!"

Shuya left a message and continued charging upwards.

He didn't kill him because the fireballs the two foxes had launched weren't aimed at him, but at the stone steps beneath his feet.

There was no murderous intent in their eyes, like that of Yin Soldiers.

This attitude prevented Shuya from bringing himself to kill.

Shuya felt that everything was too strange after arriving in this Divine Domain.

Not only is the fox not hostile towards him, but even the Fox God, who is supposed to be the big boss, ignores him and hasn't attacked him yet.

There were too many questions surrounding this, Shuya was unwilling to offend the Fox God out of ignorance.

This Fox God seems to have a very close relationship with Rena, which is really troublesome.

The biggest problem right now is that we don't know why He wanted to control Rena as soon as He woke up.

Shuya's head was about to explode.

What exactly happened?

He frowned and kept charging upwards, with foxes constantly trying to stop him along the way, but they were all clearly not really fighting.

Shuya felt that they were just trying to hinder his progress.

Everything they did was for... to send Rena to the Shrine.

So, what exactly does the Fox God want? To reminisce?

Was it really necessary to go to such lengths?

Could it be... that Rena is really connected to the Fox God's slumber?

Does He want revenge?

Shuya shook his head.

At the same time, he suddenly realized something.

Rena returns to the Small Island every year around the Bon Festival.

During the annual Bon Festival, local beliefs converge to awaken the Fox God.

Given the Fox God's current persistence, He shouldn't wait until this year to take control of the Rena Shrine.

In other words, this is not the first time something like this has happened.

This has happened several times already.

So why does the Fox God control the Rena Shrine every year?

Shuya thought of this and subconsciously slowed his pace, watching as Rena was carried into the Torii Gate by the largest fox.

Shuya had already figured it out; there was no point in him stopping him.

The Fox God had already done what he wanted to do to Rena several years ago.

It was too late for him to save Rena.

The only good news is that Rena isn't in any real danger.

Shuya stopped and sheathed the First Snow blade.

Seeing him like this, the foxes around him all stopped what they were doing and watched him quietly.

Shuya sighed and said:

"Can I come in? That person is very important to me."

The enormous foxes looked at each other, nodded, and made way.

"Thanks."

Shuya took a breath, passed through the Torii Gate, stepped onto the stone steps, and then ascended the Approach Path.

After walking onto the Approach Path, Shuya saw the fox that had been carrying Rena lying on the ground.

It glanced at Shuya, then stared intently ahead.

Shuya noticed that its eyes held a sorrowful look.

"...?"

Shuya suppressed his racing heart and followed the gaze.

The first thing you see is a huge fox, about five or six meters tall.

The fox was pure white, with beautiful fur that shone with a soft light.

Based on His intense presence, Shuya guessed that He must be the Fox God of the Small Island.

The Fox God remained silent, looking down at Rena, who was so small to him.

Rena stood in the center of the Approach Path and looked up into His eyes.

A god and a human stared at each other, dumbfounded.

Rena's eyes were vacant, and the Fox God's eyes were also filled with confusion.

But now, as the Fox God and Rena gaze at each other, their eyes gradually cleared.

"Who are you..."

"Who are you..."

The Fox God and Rena spoke at the same time.

"Rena..."

"White..."

Without warning, the Fox God's beautiful eyes welled up with tears, and large drops of tears fell.

Rena's face gradually turned pale, her body swayed, and she collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

One God and one Man whispered at the same time:

"I remember now..."
