After being told by Tengen, Sanemi finally calmed down and was frightened by the situation.
He could lose his temper, but when it came to whether the other party was a god or not, it was something that still needs to be investigated. They had their doubts, but the fact that the other party had healed Kagaya was undeniable. Regardless of their beliefs, they owed their benefactor.
Moreover, in this world's time, people still had a certain level of respect for gods. Offending the other party could lead to dire consequences, such as the other party ending his game. At that time, even if he didn't die, Sanemi would be the most sinful man in this world.
So, at this moment, Sanemi decided not to be stubborn any longer and was dragged back by the others.
"You are indeed an interesting group. It's fine if you don't trust me. Soon, you will believe it. Here's what we'll do. Aside from Tomioka Giyu, choose one person from the eight of you. I will grant this person a temporary boost to fight with the other seven of you. After you see the results of the battle, then you'll get the answers you seek!"
Asahi didn't mind Sanemi's attitude. He didn't really want to attack them himself, so he can just let someone else to do it.
"In that case, can I be the one?"
At this time, Shinobu directly raised her hand. She was the weakest among the nine Hashira, and in terms of combat strength, she might not even be on par with her adoptive younger sister, Tsuyuri Kanao.
"No problem, then, let's head out!"
After saying this, Asahi took a step and appeared outside. After seeing this scene, the others quickly followed out. They had not noticed any movement or traces a moment ago, and it was as if Asahi had simply teleported. But Asahi have indeed come out, which is terrifying.
At this moment, they are starting to believe Asahi's god identity.
The group quickly took out the wooden swords, although Gyomei was a little uncomfortable. He was used to wielding a one-handed axe and a flail, therefore, suddenly using a sword felt strange. Nevertheless, with the seven-to-one advantage, he figured he could handle it even if he was just going through the motions.
After all, even if the other party is a god, they couldn't possibly make Shinobu, the weakest among them, so powerful, right?
"Knight of God!"
Asahi used an enhancement magic, and this enhancement magic directly strengthened Shinobu's physical fitness by twentyfold.
Even if Shinobu had the poorest physical attributes among them, but to be able to become Insect Hashira, she was not far behind the others.
Moreover, the enhancement affected not only her strength, but also her defense, speed, perception, and more. After being boosted by twentyfold, Shinobu had turned into a powerhouse.
"So strong! I feel so incredibly strong now!"
Shinobu couldn't help but speak up at this moment. Her newfound strength is very terrifying, and she was getting somewhat addicted to it.
"Did you really become stronger?"
Sanemi swung his wooden sword towards Shinobu, who also quickly struck back.
In their collision, due to the added speed and force, Sanemi only saw only a dark blur flash before his eyes, and the wooden sword in his hand was directly broken, while Shinobi, on the other hand, still maintained her swinging motion.
"Wait…, please don't attack for now. I think I can't control this power!"
After seeing the effect of her strike, Shinobu also broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, she had targeted Sanemi's sword before. If the blow had landed on his body, the wooden sword could have killed someone.
The others, except for Gyomei, saw this and didn't dare to make a move. They knew that if Shinobu's strike had hit Sanemi's body, she might have severed him in two.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Shinobu stomped her foot, and her leg sank into the ground due to the tremendous force.
"What a terrifying power!"
The others collectively gasped, finding this ability utterly insane. Even demons weren't this frightening.
Although Shinobu's physical fitness is weak and she couldn't push large boulder, she could still push smaller boulder.
Now with her attribute increased by twentyfold, she could play with the large boulder she struggled to move during her training, lifting it with ease as if it was a toy. So her foot sinking into the ground due to the enormous force was entirely reasonable.
"There is no need to continue fighting, right? I suspect that even if Shinobu just throws a punch now, she could knock us out easily!"
Tengen expressed his reluctance to push the matter any further, as he didn't want to die so soon.
"Why don't you all experience it for yourselves? Knight of God!"
Asahi used the Knight of God on all of them. And in an instant, the eight of them lost control because of their enhanced strength.
Because these eight people has become superhumans, in a matter of moments, Kagaya's courtyard was completely messed up.
In particular, the two people, Gyomei and Mitsuri stood out. One had an unclear, immensely powerful ability, while the other possessed unique talents.
Mitsuri wasn't just a huge eater, as she had this special power, and she was the only one among them who didn't have a grudge against demons. She had been recruited into the Demon Slayer Corps because her strength was overwhelming, and only this place could manage her voracious appetite.
This made her feel as if she had found her kind and enjoyed being part of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Enough, enough, Lord God, it's enough, we believe it now!"
Shinobu said with her forehead covered in cold sweat. She had almost created a pit in front of her, and at this point, she resembled a small clay figure. The other Hashira are in a similar state, and one by one, they began pleading for it to stop.
After that, Asahi took back the increase from the Knight of God.
Everyone realized that while the power was formidable, it was dangerous to wield it without control, so they didn't dare to act recklessly.
After it was over, along the way, Asahi also healed Gyomei's eyes. And this made Gyomei and the others happy again.
"Lord God, why do you always appear in this form? Are all gods like this?"
Shinobu, who couldn't see any distinctive features on Asahi, asked. All she saw is a figure clad in a black robe, shrouded in darkness. She is really curious about what Asahi looked like.
"Well, gods come in all shapes and forms. For instance, take a look at these two!"
As he said that, Asahi projected the scenes of the battle between Verethragna and Melqart. One was a flying boy, while the other was a giant tens of meters tall.
When these two clashed, although they didn't bring about the end of the world, the movement they caused was not small at all.
