Fujino's slap was extraordinary. Back then, Fujino used her Migeiko Eye to replicate the powers of all Heroic Spirits in the Type-Moon World, many of whom had slain deities and possessed abilities specifically effective against gods. The various anti-god special attacks of these Heroic Spirits were merged and enhanced within the Core, transforming into a unique existence. As long as a deity faced Fujino, they were destined to face only two paths: defeat and death!
An extremely powerful ability, directly determining a god's fate from a fundamental level.
At this moment, the God of the Holy Mountain was in a bad state. Her originally solid body had become illusory. Under Fujino's slap, all the power she had recovered from the years of faith from Kjerag's people vanished into thin air, and even worse, her very existence became ethereal, like a candle in the wind, a gentle breeze capable of scattering her, making her completely disappear from this world.
Her illusory, light blue eyes were filled with terror, her body trembling, desperately trying to keep her ethereal form from dissipating in the next moment.
Fujino's eyes narrowed slightly. She suddenly thought of a good idea.
She grabbed the illusory collar of this weak god in front of her, injecting a trace of power to stabilize her ethereal body.
Although this god was a bit weak, she still had some use. Taking her back as a servant or something would be quite good, as she still had some looks. Of course, that wasn't the most important thing; Fujino still needed her to make First Snow a Saintess.
On the other side, the god, feeling her existence stabilize, did not feel happy because of it. Instead, her heart was filled with even greater fear.
This person in front of her was even more terrifying than the Evil God (Evil God) who wanted to destroy the world.
The power that stabilized her existence allowed her talent to glimpse a corner of that power.
How terrifying that power was! Just an unconscious glimpse gave her the same oppressive feeling she had when she directly faced that terrifying Evil God.
If it weren't for her good luck and the help of a secret technique, allowing her to narrowly escape the fate of the gods' demise, she, having experienced near-death, cherished her life even more. So she didn't hesitate to back down, deciding to agree to whatever this powerful figure wanted her to do. Moreover, this was a major backer! With such unfathomable strength, if she could cling to her, she might be able to recover her original power, or even ascend to a higher level.
Thinking of this, the fear in her heart slightly subsided.
This god didn't know that Fujino was reading her inner thoughts, not missing a single detail.
This god is quite interesting. With that thought, Fujino smiled mysteriously, then tightened her grip on the weak god's collar and thrust her hand directly through her chest.
There was no trace of blood; however, Fujino's hand, which had pierced the weak god's chest, was now holding a small ice-blue ball.
"Lord, what are you doing!"
The god's voice suddenly came from the ice-blue ball. The ball struggled violently in Fujino's hand, trying to break free, but it was useless. Under Fujino's power, she had no hope at all.
"Shut up! Otherwise, I'll crush your divine soul right now!"
Fujino said coldly, tightening her grip slightly on the small ball. The ball crackled with breaking sounds, accompanied by the weak god's intense screams.
The divine soul can also be understood as the divinity, the essence of a god, and the source of its power. If the divine soul shatters, it means the death and disappearance of that deity.
"I was wrong, Lord, tell me! What do you want me to do!"
The god was completely terrified, and her initial idea of clinging to Fujino's thigh had faded considerably.
Fujino currently ignored the thoughts of this weak god in her hand. At this moment, she was refining the idea that had flashed through her mind earlier.
Gods can develop their believers to acquire the Power of Faith for themselves. Although the Power of Faith is useless to Fujino, as she does not exist by faith, the system told her that the Power of Faith can be absorbed by the Core, further strengthening Fujino's abilities and helping her break through limitations.
The so-called limitations refer to further development towards a higher level. The system did not explicitly state what level it was, but it only told her two points.
First, the amount of faith required to break through limitations using the Power of Faith is immense. Taking a world with ten billion people as an example, if all ten billion people were Fujino's believers, calculating at the lowest level of faith, approximately one hundred such worlds would be needed to provide Fujino with faith to break the first limit.
Second, breaking the limitations allows one to shed the peculiarity of existing only in the "present" and truly detach from the laws.
It's interesting to note that Fujino, having obtained the Migeiko Eye, should theoretically have surpassed everything and been unbound by rules. However, the power Fujino used was still within the rules. According to the system's explanation, Fujino's current transcendence actually meant that the rules changed with her, rather than her changing or creating the rules.
That was already another level, but for now, no one could reach Fujino's current level.
However, people always strive for higher ground. Although she was invincible at the moment, Fujino still yearned to see what kind of scenery awaited her in a higher-level world.
So she decided to develop her own believers to provide her with faith, to allow her to break through the first layer of limitation.
Having found a new path, Fujino now had a new goal, but her curiosity about the system's existence grew. What exactly was the system? She could only find out after completing the final mission.
It was almost time; Fujino's points would soon allow her to acquire the next gem. Collecting all the gems and the last item in the shop was a necessary condition for Fujino to break through the limitations using the Power of Faith.
She waved her fingers in the air, and countless dense, tadpole-like characters emerged from her fingertips, then all these tadpole-like characters flew towards the small ball in Fujino's hand.
Immediately, the surface of the ice-blue ball was densely covered with tadpole-like characters, and then in the next moment, those tadpole-like characters disappeared.
Following this, the ice-blue ball in her hand gradually transformed into a pure purple, detaching from Fujino's grasp and floating in mid-air.
Dazzling light burst forth from the purple ball, accompanied by cracking sounds. The cave, forged from solid ice, trembled. Countless tiny cracks spread across the ice surface, covering the entire area, as if the entire cave would shatter into countless ice fragments in the next moment.
Boom!
With a muffled explosion, the cave, already at its limit, completely became an uncontrolled domino, instantly turning into tiny ice fragments and collapsing with a roar.
Buzz!
A purple light shield appeared, deflecting the falling ice fragments.
A beautiful, cold woman emerged from the light, her beautiful purple hair fluttering in the wind. It was the god from before.
But now she had changed. A terrifying aura surrounded her, and her formerly blue hair and blue eyes had transformed into an eerie purple.
She knelt on one knee before Fujino, her purple eyes containing a fanaticism capable of burning the world.
"My almighty Lord, your most loyal believer, Alice, is willing to offer everything of herself to you!"
