"Spiritual Body?"
Under the illumination of the kerosene lamp, Marvin's face, half bright and half shadowed, flashed a hint of surprise, "Are you sure that's the Goddess of Happiness?"
"That's how the priest referred to the spiritual body," Levin said solemnly, "I sneaked into their apartment after dark. The priest was secretive and seemed very poor, and the apartment he rented didn't have anything of value."
"As soon as he entered, he rushed into the bedroom. I quietly followed and saw a translucent spiritual body lying on the bed, emitting red specks of light at a fast rate. I estimate that in a few days, it will dissipate completely."
The dissipating spiritual body...
Marvin glanced at Yuniya, reminded of when she too had faced a similar situation. As deities that exist by the Power of Faith, once they lose too many believers, their bodies approach the brink of collapse until they disappear entirely.
