Chris's brief conversation with Alanka and a certain will that had possessed him had yielded plenty of useful information, but also left him with plenty of questions.
Ever since his days in the Bohemian Empire, Chris had found something odd about this world's faiths.
The God of Light was named Apollo, the sea god worshipped by the people of Minisia was called Poseidon, and the Earth Mother Goddess revered by the people of Bagnia was called Gaia.
These gods... they were all gods from Earth's ancient Greek mythology.
Not only did their domains and names match, even their statues looked alike. The only differences were the world they inhabited and the responsibilities of their clergy.
So had Earth's Greek gods opened a branch office in another world together, or had the gods here expanded into Earth long ago?
Of course, that was beside the point. Chris had no interest in divine affairs. Whether those gods were refugees from Earth or some other bizarre entities, they had little to do with China.
All Chris cared about now was the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia's attitude toward him, which did not seem particularly friendly.
Chris did not know why Gaia regarded him so unfavorably. Was she afraid he would spread his faith, or did she consider him a foreign invader?
Nor did he know whether only one god was hostile toward him, or whether there were many.

Chris gave it some thought, but had too little information to reach any conclusions... *Forget it. I'll deal with whatever comes my
