Chapter 86: Artificial God Hypothesis
"I see! Is this how the power of the gods comes from?"
In the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau, everyone was busy dealing with the aftermath of the battle between Susanoo and Ryomen Sukuna.
But among the hurried voices of the crowd, the priest's cautious and calm voice stood out so much.
Hearing the priest's words, some people who were watching the live broadcast quickly turned their eyes in the priest's direction.
Seeing the expectant eyes around him, the priest looked around and then curled his lips.
Why are you looking at me? I'm just expressing my feelings!
Minister Miki showed a hint of joy on his face, then stood up, looked at the priest with bright eyes, and said expectantly.
"Have you analyzed any useful information?"
“Please speak up!!!”
Faced with the burning gazes around him and Minister Miki's eager questioning, the priest felt embarrassed, but he swallowed the words "I'm not, I didn't" back into his stomach.
After a moment's hesitation, he immediately stood up, pushed the chair behind him away, and then spoke.
"I just got some insights from Ryoumen Sukuna's analysis."
"If according to Ryoumen Sukuna, the power of the gods comes from the extension of legends. Then the "Storm" used by Susanoo just now has a source!"
Looking at the few people around who still seemed a little confused.
Why!
The priest sighed slightly. He knew this situation would happen. After all, there are some common sense knowledge that not everyone knows.
Therefore, the authorities have invited various professionals to deal with this situation and to stand up and provide popular science at critical moments.
"Everyone's impression of Susanoo may still be stuck in the myth, the story of how his father arranged for him to become the god of the sea and how he killed the Yamata no Orochi!"
The priest's eyes revealed the confidence that comes only from professionals who have spent many years studying Shintoism.
"But in fact, in mythological documents such as the Kojiki, although it is clearly recorded that Susanoo was sent to the sea plain and theoretically should have become a god who protects the ocean, he did not actually live in the ocean for a long time, but frequently traveled between Takamagahara and the mortal world."
"So, judging from his actual behavior, he is not a typical ocean deity. His essence is actually the god of storms and violence."
"In the field of mythology, ancient humans were unable to explain various natural phenomena in reality, so they tended to explain them through anthropomorphism from their own perspective!"
"For example, the ancients personified the sun as Amaterasu, so when the sun disappeared, people saw Amaterasu hiding in the Ama-no-Iwato as the way the sun disappeared."
"The same is true of Susanoo, who is often associated with disasters in mythology, and is also regarded as the embodiment of the legendary storm.
"The storm also corresponds to the inherent perception of Susanoo as a wild and passionate person in mythology!"
Minister Miki showed a hint of joy on his face. He knew that it was absolutely right to bring these professionals here. Even if the priest's analysis was wrong, it would definitely provide very valuable ideas for the next work!
Minister Fujiwara, who was sitting at the very back, also sat up slightly straighter and looked at the priest with a formal expression.
As if feeling the encouragement from those around him, the priest mustered up the courage to continue his "analysis".
"That's why Susanoo used storms as his main means of attack in the battle just now."
"As for the true face of 'Ama-no-Habe-Slash' mentioned by Ryoumen Sukuna, if we analyze it this way, it really echoes the myth of the Yamata no Orochi! It further proves the feasibility of this way of thinking!"
At this point, the priest's eyes became unusually bright, he looked around, his tone unable to conceal his excitement.
"The most important thing is that we seem to have uncovered a corner of the veil of the gods!"
The room suddenly became quiet, as if even the air froze for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, various discussions broke out one after another.
After hearing the priest's "clear and logical" and "well-reasoned" analysis, the three ministers took a deep breath, as if the fog had been cleared, and they had a clearer understanding of many concepts from the previous battle.
"So that's the inner connection between God and mythology!!!"
Minister Miki muttered to himself, and then his eyes fell on Sukuna and Susanoo who were still fighting fiercely.
Although it is still unclear what the [God of Disobedience] is, the mocking attitude of Ryomen Sukuna and the anger of Susanoo have already shown that the Susanoo on the scene may really be just a "fake".
Looking at the destructive power displayed by the two, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Does even a false god possess this level of power? If it can be used by the authorities..."
However, a bolder idea suddenly exploded in his mind like thunder.
"Wait! If we can fabricate or promote certain myths, can we induce gods that are inclined towards humans?!"
This thought flashed through Minister Miki's mind like lightning, making his scalp tingle instantly and an unprecedented excitement surge in his heart.
He realized that this guess might be the most valuable gain of the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau today.
Creating gods belonging to humans? ! !
When Minister Miki thought of this bold idea, he felt his blood boiling. The long-lost passion surged out like a volcanic eruption, making him in an indescribable state of excitement.
Boom!
"Emergency! An urgent request has come from the Broadcasting Administration Bureau!"
"TV Asahi's live weather broadcast accidentally captured the fierce battle between Susanoo and Nobuo above Aoki Manor!"
A hurried employee of the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau broke the silence in the meeting room, with a hint of panic in his voice.
Due to the importance of this operation, in order to prevent information from being leaked as in the last Tsuchigumo incident, the senior officials involved in the operation had their communication devices strictly monitored and could not contact each other at will during the operation.
Sitting in the crowd, Minister Saito of the Broadcasting Administration Bureau was startled when he heard the words of the intruder. Then he felt the complicated gazes from his colleagues around him, some of which were gloating.
bad!
The action to block the information on supernatural beings was a unanimous decision made by the top leaders, but how could a TV station's live weather program expose it?
Most importantly…
What made Minister Saito worried was that he accidentally caught a glimpse of Minister Fujiwara beside him staring at him coldly. There seemed to be an invisible eye contact between the two of them, and Minister Saito reacted quickly.
asshole!!!
Don’t those guys realize that they need to cut it off quickly?
You're still asking me for instructions at a time like this? Are those guys in charge of the live broadcast pigs?
"The staff on the other end of the phone said that this was an unprecedented situation and they did not dare to act on their own and had to get clear instructions from Minister Saito."
Minister Saito's eyes darkened when he instantly guessed his subordinates' unwillingness to take responsibility.
Spicy meatballs!!!
I'll try to squeeze in one more chapter before twelve o'clock...
