She wanted to do something, to establish her own faith in Shinano Province - but because her wisdom was not enough to support her ideals, many things not only failed to meet expectations, but became worse and worse.
And it is precisely for this reason that such a bizarre situation of "two gods ruling together" appeared in Shinano:
"To put it simply, I really can't beat this big bastard."
"But even though she can't beat me, she will never be better than me in governing the country."
Suwako Miyako said with some pride.
As the only indigenous god who has survived from ancient times to the present day, she is indeed entitled to be proud.
At the same time, if you think about it from a different perspective.
Her "defeat" may also be a victory in another sense.
——Even though she was defeated by Kanako, she was still able to rely on her own wisdom to survive on this land.
And if she defeats Kanako, it will definitely attract even more powerful enemies.
After all, Kanako is the Kunitsu God, and she shares the same origin as the Tianjin God.
If she were the one ruling Shinano Province, the Tianjin God would not have to push her too hard and could have just turned a blind eye.
But if Suwako directly ruled Shinano Province - it would be a war of gods, an absolute war of gods.
The war between the religious gods and the indigenous gods will only end when one side is completely destroyed.
At that time, even Suwako Kameya, who stood at the top of the indigenous gods, would not be able to stop the conquest of the entire conceptual god system.
Therefore, for Suwako Hashiya, the current result is already the best result:
"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."
"It's all Kanako's fault - she didn't even bother to explain and just started attacking."
"However, since the result is good, let's not dwell on these issues anymore."
Suwako Hashiya said this very happily, but she completely cleared herself of any responsibility.
——She is the only “beneficiary” of this conflict.
She, whose life was boring, got to watch a good show for free.
And now, she, who was the fuse, turned around and acted as a peacemaker.
"We are all one family. We are all one family."
"It's getting late - how about we go to the shrine and have some tea?"
……
Suwako's suggestion was agreed by Nanxing.
After a fierce battle, it is a good idea to drink some tea to soothe your slightly irritable emotions.
But Kanako had some complaints.
"Tea?"
Her eyebrows raised, her shoulders lifted, and her proud figure instantly became wavy.
"How can we drink tea at this time?"
She wants to drink.
"We won't go home until we're drunk."
Kanako said arrogantly.
This is her personality - wild, heroic, like a real hero.
This mountain god sister aroused great recognition from Ibuki Suika, who almost became sworn brothers with her:
"If you really can't make it, how about coming to our hell?"
"We are just one short of one of the Four Heavenly Kings."
Ibuki Suika said excitedly.
The words revealed a very important message:
Of the four great kings of the ghost clan who once possessed supernatural powers, only three are left now.
"Where did that one go?"
Nanxing asked with some curiosity.
But Ibuki Suika refused to say anything.
"Just treat her as if she were dead."
She touched her neck and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Chapter 136: Unqualified God
Shinano Province, Suwa Taisha Shrine.
This shrine is the "Ichinomiya" of Shinano Province.
This is the highest-ranking shrine in this area.
The shrine enshrines Suwa Daimyojin, a Shoichi god who is worshipped as a military god.
However, it is worth mentioning.
Although the statue of the god in the shrine has a giant snake around his waist and a huge grass wreath on his head, there are four pillars arranged neatly behind him.
This is exactly what Kanako looks like.
But the name of this statue, Suwa Daimyojin, comes from Suwako Miyako.
what does this mean?
This means that those who believe in Suwa Daimyojin will contribute their faith to Eiya~Suwako.
Then, Suwako Kameya drew out some of her strength and gave it back to Kanako.
——This is somewhat confusing.
But after a long period of attempts, Suwako and Kanako found that this way of cooperation was the best for them.
There are two of them, one is wise and the other is powerful; if they unite, they can unify Shinano, but if they separate, both will suffer.
Not to mention, from the perspective of historical development, both Suwako and Kanako are losers.
The indigenous gods represented by Suwako had long been eliminated by history; the Kunitsu god behind Kanako had long been recruited by Takama-ga-hara... It was already a very good thing that these two losers got together and could have a piece of territory of their own.
They dare not ask for too much.
At the same time, through Yanma Ai, Nanxing also truly felt the broad mind of Kanako, the "mountain god sister".
"Is it?"
"Is there such a thing?"
Listening to the tragic experience of Yanma Ai and looking at the little girl's constantly evasive eyes, Kanako's face was full of seriousness.
"I've never heard of anything like this. It's my fault."
Kanako apologized to Enma Ai.
The content of the apology is not important, what is important is that she apologized at all.
As a god, she apologized to Yama - this was something that would never happen to other gods, but she actually did it!
This made Yanma Ai a little helpless.
"I……"
The little Yama stood there in a daze for a long time before finally looking at Nanxing for help.
Nanxing nodded slightly.
He knew that Kanako didn't apologize to Enma Ai just for his sake.
She truly felt guilty and felt that she had let down the mountain people in Shinano.
——Such a terrible thing happened and she never knew it.
"Suwako?"
Kanako, with a serious face, apologized to Enma Ai and then turned her attention to Suwako.
Her eyes were as sharp as torches, as if there were flames burning in them.
But Suwako is trying to play dumb:
"what?"
"Don't tell me you don't know about the worship of the mountain god."
"I know, what's wrong?"
"Then why don't you solve it?"
"I'm not the god of Shinano Province, why should I care?"
"you……"
Kanako was a little angry.
And when Suwako saw that the angry Kanako actually took out the pillar and prepared to attack her, her face changed.
"really."
"A fool is a fool."
She sneered without hesitation.
There was no trace of pretending to be stupid on his face.
There is only a sense of loneliness, a sense of nobility that one is sober while everyone else is drunk, and a sense of anger that one is disappointed in others.
——The ancient god, in the tone of an experienced person, is giving guidance to the "young" Kanako:
“Reverence is also a part of faith.”
“And it’s an important part.”
"Blindly pampering will never make those foolish humans understand what true grace is."
"You never understood this - that's why you can't govern a country."
"..."
Compassion does not command troops.
As an indigenous god who was born in ancient times and had to compete for faith with eight million of her kind, Suwako Hashiya understood this truth deeply.
Was she born to be at the top?
No, it is not.
She fought her way through a sea of blood and corpses.
She once sheltered many humans.
They have also killed more humans in order to maintain their rule.
It doesn't matter.
Anyway, time will erase all sins.
To this day, how many people still know about the bloody scene hidden beneath the Suwa Daimyojin?
··· 0Request flowers· ······
As for Kanako.
She actually understood, she understood everything.
But understanding is one thing, being able to do it is another.
——It was like apologizing to an enma.
If it were Suwako Kameya, no matter how guilty she felt (if she still had any sense of shame), she would never show this guilt.
Instead, they will try their best to put the blame on others with an indifferent tone.
