Chapter 38: A Prayer to Transcend Isolation
Genkami Island, or Genkami City, is a city built with resin, metal, and organic matter through magic, floating in the Pacific Ocean where humans and monsters coexist.
This artificial island, floating 330 kilometers south of Tokyo, is made up of a super-large floating structure called GigaFloat.
The total population is about 560,000.
Although it is administratively called Genshin City, Tokyo, it is actually a special administrative region with an independent political system.
Used to protect the endangered demons and study their body tissues and special abilities.
This is the so-called "Demon Special Zone".
Normally, Genkami Island does not accept visitors other than those related to companies and research institutions and family members. If outsiders want to enter Genkami City, they must first submit an application and can only enter after it is confirmed that there are no problems. Otherwise, they will be called illegal immigrants.
Strictly speaking, Yahweh can actually be considered a stowaway.
And just today, another so-called "stowaway" found his way onto the island just as the morning sun was beginning to shine from the sky.
"Is this the String God Island?"
Walking on the edge of the street, the blonde girl in nun's clothes had confusion in her eyes.
"Where the Lord descends…"
Why did the Lord descend to this place?
Even the so-called "Demon Special Zone" should not be worth mentioning to the "Lord", right?
Could it be because of the rumor...
The blonde nun suddenly shook her head.
How could she understand the Lord's thoughts?
The key point now is that the oracle received by the Pope only told him that the "Lord" was on Gengami Island, but where exactly... he was not clear.
So...looking at the huge artificial island in front of her, the nun fell into silence.
She...
How can she find her "Lord"?
............
"Then Yue-chan, I'll go out with Agulola first. You can prepare your own breakfast."
Just as the sun was rising, Yahweh was awakened by a little cutie lying on him.
The lively little guy pestered him and wanted to go "inspect" the island with him.
Of course, Yawei couldn't refuse such a small request. He said something to Nangong Nayue and left directly taking Agulola, who was already impatient, with him.
"......"
Watching the two people leaving, Nangong Nayue, who had been preparing to cook for the first time in a long time, silently put down the frying pan in her hand.
Was it true that the warm feeling she felt from Yahweh yesterday was just an illusion?
Run out early in the morning...
Is this guy really a god, or just a street urchin?
Nangong Nayue couldn't help but complain and sighed softly in her heart.
Forget it, she's really happy and at peace without these two guys around.
As for breakfast, I didn't eat it.
After all, she is now the incarnation of magic and doesn't actually need to eat.
Occasionally, three meals a day, like Yahweh, is just a habit!
However, after Yawei and Agulola left, Nangong Nayue really didn't know what she should do.
It's still vacation time, so she doesn't need to go to class.
She also finished sorting out some documents in the school yesterday.
Hmm...then let's go on patrol and see if there are any demons looking for trouble.
After all, besides being a teacher, she is also a magic attacker!
............
"Yahweh, hurry up~"
On the streets of Genshin Island, Yawei looked indifferent, walking slowly like an old man taking a stroll in the park.
And Agurola was ahead of him, walking at a brisk pace.
She looked around restlessly. She looked at the tall buildings and neat green grass around her and exclaimed "Oh oh oh".
Although I accompanied Agurola out yesterday, we had a precise goal after all. Unlike now, I can let Agurola experience the scenery of Genkami Island without any worries.
In fact, Genkami Island doesn't look special at all, it just looks like an ordinary big city.
But when you think about the fact that this girl has been sealed in an ice coffin since birth and has never truly known this world, such a reaction is understandable.
This time, Agulola ran to the guardrail by the sea. She looked at the seagulls flying in the sky reflecting the morning light in surprise, just like a curious toddler. People couldn't help but smile at her.
"It's just an ordinary scenery..."
Yahweh stood next to Agurola and said this.
"There's no need to get so excited. You can enjoy this kind of scenery however you want in the future."
"Well..."
After hearing what Yahweh said, Agulola blushed slightly.
"I, I'm not excited. I'm just examining my future territory..."
"How is the review?"
"The scenery and terrain are great,"
After hearing Yahweh's question, Agulola actually began to analyze it seriously.
"I have decided to build my Night Empire here!"
As she said this, she suddenly turned around and looked at Yahweh, her cheeks becoming slightly red.
"Of course, as my contractor, you will enjoy the same power as me and govern the Empire of Night with me."
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it."
Yahweh showed an expression like a father coaxing his daughter and answered with a smile.
However, Agulola took Yahweh's words seriously and held his hand with a happy look on his face.
"Then come with me to tour this place first!"
"Let's see if this place is qualified to be the core of our Night Empire..."
Yawei grasped Agulola's hand and was about to reply, but suddenly he seemed to sense something and the expression on his face changed slightly.
He felt the prayers of the believers!
You know, most of the time he directly cuts off the connection between the believers' prayers and his own thoughts.
In order to overcome the isolation and make him aware of it, two conditions need to be met.
One is that the belief is strong enough, and the other is that the distance between you and him is close enough.
Of course, if the belief is strong enough, it is enough to cross the boundaries of space.
But that kind of belief...
It can already be considered a "miracle"!
The wish that Yahweh felt at this time probably belonged to the former.
Moreover, most of these wishes are filled with sadness or even despair...
Recalling the plot about the blood-sucking attack, Yahweh didn't need to use his omniscience. He guessed the truth in an instant with his own wisdom.
"Aguerola,"
He suddenly spoke.
"Put aside the inspection of the territory for now. I have something to take care of. Please come with me."
And although he was a little confused by Yahweh's sudden words, Agulola still nodded obediently.
Then the two figures flashed and disappeared from the guardrail.
