- "My spells belong to the Amakusa Church. That's a Japanese Christianity sect
- that got persecuted during the Edo period and created out of the necessity to
- maintain our belief."
- In that cruel era, when merely holding a cross or a statue of the Virgin Mary
- resulted in painful executions, the believers could only use the wooden plates
- Shintoism and Buddhism to use as cover, and ended up mixing with other
- religions until they couldn't even tell which parts were Shintoism's, which parts
- were Buddhism's, and which parts were Christianity's. Thus, they ended up
- creating a new religion.
- The multi-religious aspects Christian system, the Amakusa.
- In other words, since Christian spells couldn't beat an angel, instead of using
- Christian spells, she should use Buddhism or Shintoism spells or any spells from
- religions that didn't have any angels to attack the angel.
- If Christian spells wouldn't work, she'd use Buddhist spells.
- If Buddhist spells wouldn't work, she'd use Shinto spells.
- If Shinto spells wouldn't work, she'd use Christian spells.
- The Amakusa could use other sorts of spells to make up for the religions'
- weaknesses. So the fact that the Christians couldn't beat angels didn't exist for
- Kanzaki.
- Power of God looked frozen. Three water wings came swinging over the left and
- right.
- But the water wings were still easily sliced by Kanzaki's nodachi flash.
- "And Japan's Shintoism is one that has many gods. It has the belief that all things
- on earth have a divine attachment of many gods to it; any tool that doesn't have
- any value will become a part of God's will after a long time. There are many
- gods that are created by human means, like the dog gods, monkey gods and
- serpent gods that protect the house. Perhaps among all the religions, Shintoism
- has the most gods."
- Kanzaki deliberately stroked the Shichiten Shichitou.
- "Thus, it may be hard for an angel with only one god to imagine. Shintoism has
- many gods, and there are even interaction spells between humans and gods,
- human spells that are meant to take on Christian spells. In many Japanese
- folklore, there's a lot of stories about using an ordinary nodachi to kill an evil
- god who lost its mind or request for a girl as a sacrifice. Shintoism has a taboo—
- one mustn't harm gods. Think about it, why is there such a rule?"
- Kanzaki Kaori said that casually.
- She was declaring to the angel that this wouldn't be a one-sided battle.
- "..."
- Power of God stared at the enemy silently. Absorbing new seawater, the sliced
- water wings were restored to their old shape and size.
- But for Kanzaki, she didn't need any preparations. She just needed to use her
- fingers to lightly stroke the hilt of the nodachi at her waist. Using the unique
- breathing to refine the magic energy within her, she could turn herself into the
- Breaker of God.
- Silence.
- After a tenth of a second of silence that an ordinary human couldn't feel.
- The Power of God and the Breaker of God started their duel with their lives on
- their line.
- BOOM! A roar could be heard.
- The archangel sent a fifty-meter-long water wing sliding down from above, and
- it was sliced in half by Kanzaki, who was 10m in front of it.
- But the Power of God didn't mind. No matter how many water wings were cut, it
- could repair them. This time, the water wing swung over from the left, trying to
- use the time Kanzaki was undefended while she was sheathing her nodachi.
- After Kanzaki sliced this attack, the next attack from the right was aimed at
- Kanzaki's back.
- The Power of God and Kanzaki were about ten meters away from each other.
- The angel seemed like it wanted to maintain that distance and continued to
- attack Kanzaki with the water wings to prevent Kanzaki from getting close.
- Kanzaki spun her body and turned her head around, slicing the water wing
- behind her with one slash. Seeing this, three water wings of the messenger of
- God attacked from the air, each with a slight time interval between them.
- Even though there was a time interval, the difference was measured by a
- hundredth of a second. An ordinary person couldn't really sense that somewhat
- godlike speed. A human needed 0.18 seconds to process the command from the
- brain to the fingers, but Kanzaki in the Breaker of God mode could enter
- superhuman territory for a fixed duration, thus such logic didn't apply to her. Her
- blood vessels, muscles, nerves, organs and bones had obtained the God Breaker
- ability under the spell.
