A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 1560 - 1051: The Enemy of Faith

From the moment Duanmu Huai landed until he dealt with the two Non-compliant Gods, it took no more than five minutes. For this, Duanmu Huai seemed quite calm; he carefully observed the surrounding disaster situation before contacting Lumiaire.

"Lumiaire, it’s done, take me back." fгeewebnovёl.com

"Understood, I’ll send Lameus to pick you up immediately."

Before long, a red cosmic fighter descended from the sky, retrieving the landing pod, while Duanmu Huai glanced at the distant edge of the sky, then withdrew his gaze and boarded the fighter. Subsequently, the fighter quickly changed direction, whistling away and disappearing into the sky.

"......... Now it seems, the Tribunal wasn’t exaggerating."

As the fighter vanished into the sky, three figures emerged from the side. They were none other than Angel Michael, Fallen Angel Governor Azazel, and Demon King Serjex.

Although in the previous meeting, Duanmu Huai had already stated that the Non-compliant Gods would be handled by the Tribunal, the three factions had always been somewhat skeptical about whether the Tribunal could truly eliminate the Non-compliant Gods. Though Duanmu Huai’s strength was immense, they understood well that a deity and other entities were entirely different levels.

Without sufficiently powerful weapons, not even a scratch could be inflicted upon a deity. The majesty of a god directly compelled humans to submit. In many myths, it is always demigod hybrids who rebel against gods because ordinary humans simply cannot resist the will of a deity.

Therefore, whether the Tribunal truly had the ability to deal with the Non-compliant Gods raised internal doubts, which is why they specially came to observe the Tribunal’s combat and also to handle the aftermath in case things spiraled out of control.

Yet the result was beyond their expectations.

Although these two Non-compliant Gods were not particularly well-known, this place was the origin of their faith, granting them great empowerment from belief. In other words, even if Michael and the others joined forces, dealing with even one of them would likely be challenging.

However, Duanmu Huai dealt with these gods as easily as chopping vegetables!

How did he accomplish it?

Michael and others were puzzled, but for Duanmu Huai, there wasn’t much to explain.

It should be known that since coming to this world, Duanmu Huai had always targeted the Chaos Evil God as his enemy, and thus his battle power was essentially focused on specialized enhancement against deities. For instance, the Power of Destruction capable of completely annihilating Subspace Creatures, the Profession of the Old Days which could erode spirit and will, and recently obtained the Profession of the Sixth Day Demon King from the Westward Journey World.

Especially the Profession of the Sixth Day Demon King, which completely counters the God of Faith, rendering their attacks virtually ineffective against Duanmu Huai. Even a deity capable of manipulating lightning could not cause even 1HP of damage to Duanmu Huai unless their power exceeded his.

However, Duanmu Huai’s current strength already rivaled the Evil God, and attempting to match him — at least beings from this planet at such a backwater level — is impossible.

In other words, the deities of this world, to Duanmu Huai, are like livestock, easily dispensed with no matter how many there are. To the deities of this world, Duanmu Huai is their nemesis.

"In any case, it seems this problem is no longer a problem."

Michael shook his head.

"We can focus internally, at least not to let the Tribunal be disappointed."

The three faction leaders were not worried that the Tribunal would hesitate against the Non-compliant Gods, for Duanmu Huai didn’t care for this reason, but they understood well. The reason is that for Non-compliant Gods to regain their strength, they must reclaim belief. It is well known in almost all myths that deities gain belief through threatening humans.

For instance, a Sea God might unleash a tsunami, a Wind God could bring hurricanes, using such methods to instill awe and fear in humans, compelling them to submit. These two deities were no exception. Sardin Island was formerly the origin of King Mercato’s belief, intending to destroy this island to rekindle fear and submission among the people was a typical thought of the gods from that era.

But unfortunately, times have changed.

In the modern era, religious belief has drastically declined, partly due to the development of human civilization, and also because these deities were nearly wiped out in the three-sided war — even the god Michael believed in was no exception. Were it not for Gabriel barely maintaining the system created by God with the power of angels, perhaps even angelic faith would be reduced to dust like other religions.

For these Non-compliant Gods, a return was naturally their desire. However, over the centuries after their demise, the world has changed dramatically. Now, humans, once the foundation of the gods’ belief, have the Tribunal as an incredibly powerful Guardian, making it such that if the gods dare to try and subdue humans with that primitive, ancient, and savage manner, the Tribunal would crush these entities without hesitation.

Just as Duanmu Huai has done now.

Without belief, gods cannot regain their strength. In the distant past, they perhaps didn’t worry about this issue. But now, due to belief, their source of power has fully merged with humanity, making it impossible for gods to regain their lost strength without human belief.
