Faith is a great strength. Even more so in this world.

The united faith of an unspecified number of people acquires the power of a concept separate from mana.

Ironically, in order to actively handle that power, one had to be not born in this world. Of course, there is no such limitation in reality, but only then can faith become pure enough to function as a pure force.

Likewise, sufficient faith was conveyed to Asha and Adele, who were already confirmed to have inherited the blood of Eugene, who was famously known as a god.

‘what?’

Asha immediately caught the unidentified power newly established in her body. I had a very sensitive personality in this regard.

Adele simply enjoyed the feeling of being intoxicated as an unknown sense of omnipotence filled her. The first thing she suspected was a spell like ‘Strength’ used by Akasha.

“Asha. Did you cast some kind of body strengthening spell on me?”

“No. But since you’re asking me that, it looks like you’re similar to me.”

It was a power I had never felt before in my life, but it was not unfamiliar at all. Asha searched her memories and found out why this energy was familiar.

‘father…!’

The strength I felt from my father, Eugene. Of course, I didn’t know about faith at the time because I had no means of detecting it, but now I know.

This is faith.

“……?”

While Asha and Adele were momentarily intoxicated by the exhilaration of faith, Akasha’s reaction as she watched them blankly was natural.

In the first place, those who can feel faith are those who have faith in their bodies. In other words, it was something only God could do.

“Why are you doing that? I guess I’m not so tired that I need a break already.”

At Akasha’s reaction, Asha smiled in remorse. I knew very well that the confluence of enormous power that went unnoticed by the opponent would have a greater effect than the actual added amount.

If there was anything to worry about, it would be that Adele wielded her power without thinking and that Akasha would notice, but unfortunately, Adele had no idea how to handle her newfound power.

‘Huh? Asha. ‘How do I use this?’

‘It’s difficult even if you ask me. ‘It’s my first time too.’

Raw faith poses considerable difficulties in handling. The fabrication here refers to the form of belief.

Those who sent their faith to Asha and Adele vaguely believed that they were of God’s bloodline because they were Eugene’s son and daughter, and had no idea what kind of power they could exercise.

In fact, Eugene did not actively use his faith in battle until he unintentionally became the god of conception and alcohol.

However, unlike Eugene, who was just an ordinary human being on Earth except for his faith, Asha was a full-fledged dragon born from Arjen’s stomach.

He was a genius who not only had an outstanding aptitude for magic, but also manifested magic before becoming an adult through unprecedented efforts.

“Fire Ball.”

He successfully mixed faith with the simple and clear fireball magic. Although I haven’t fired it at Akasha yet and found out the results, Asha was confident.

‘This works.’

Compared to Hell Flare, the fireball, which was no different from a match, clearly contained Asha’s faith in her wish for ‘destruction’.

‘Adele. It’s a strong wish. ‘I’m determined to destroy that bastard.’

‘Eh? There are no instructions on how to use it or anything. ‘Isn’t it too simple?’

‘Mixing it with magic requires a more cumbersome process, but I don’t think there’s any need to explain anyway, so the moment I throw the magic, it runs at that guy without a second thought.’

‘okay!’

Following Asha’s advice, Adele strengthened her whole body with the will to live for Akasha. The muscles of Adele’s entire body, already half transformed into a dragon, tensed.

Adele was also confident, even though she had not moved her body yet.

‘This is a speed you would never expect.’

Asha and Adele both had a common thought. It was thought that this attack would definitely exceed Akasha’s expectations and cause extreme damage.

On the other hand, Akasha’s thoughts as she watched Asha not firing after openly preparing her magic and Adele taking a crouching start position as if she was openly predicting a charge were completely opposite.

“Why are you preparing so openly?”

The magic that had already been shown could be avoided by walking, and the charge, which did not require calculating the timing of the attack, could definitely be countered.

Akasha, who had wasted a considerable amount of time trying to gain faith, was ultimately unable to gain faith, and of course, there was no way to capture the faith that was embedded in Asha’s magic and Adele’s muscles.

‘You better be very nervous about this one.’

Asha tried to control her itching mouth. I was sure that making a moderate fuss wouldn’t change the outcome, but I wanted to cause as much damage as possible.

Grumble!

Eventually, Asha’s magic was fired towards Akasha, and the flames were used as defensive magic by Akasha, who decided not to let down her guard even though her intentions were unknown.

Thrash!!

It arrived at Akasha’s body, burning it as if it had never been there in the first place.

“Kaaak!”

The moment Akasha screamed from the burning pain that threatened to blow her mind, Adele stopped the start.

“!?”

Akasha, who had not taken her eyes off Adele even as she was struggling with the flames on her upper body, was unable to react to Adele’s movements, which seemed to have moved in space just like her.

‘It’s late…!’

Afterwards, Adele’s fist reached his face faster than Akasha expected, completely separating his neck and torso.

“……Huh?”

An attack that struck so cleanly that it could not even be compared to before. The texture was so clearly conveyed to the fingertips that even Adele herself could feel it.

But apart from the sense of touch, her sense of hearing did not even notify her of any sound. The same explosion sound as before, or even a simple hitting sound.

Dreaming.

Once she closed her eyes and opened them, Adele’s vision revealed that the sun’s light had been blocked and a shadow had been cast, as if a solar eclipse had occurred.

Adele reflexively raised her head and made eye contact with a large dark blue dragon.

Pow!

“Queu!”

My body reacted earlier than I thought. The faith that wrapped around Adele’s body safely protected her body from Akasha’s kicks.

Asha swallowed her saliva at Akasha’s behavior, which was completely different from before, as she was determined to prevent Asha and Adele from getting hurt.

“Adele, are you okay?”

“Uh. Strangely enough.”

“Damn. I never thought they would have installed such a safety device…”

Asha, who originally had a keen eye for magic and was now able to use it herself, clicked her tongue at the arrangement Akasha had made.

Akasha has created a technique within her body that automatically takes the form of a dragon when an attack that causes death arrives.

On the other hand, Akasha could not help but be shocked in her own way.

“How… How…!”

Although he cannot feel the faith directly, he was a person who constantly researched ways to fight against the gods, so if he was hit directly, he would naturally notice.

A small but clear faith was established in Asha and Adele.

“…Yes, this is because you are his child. surprised. That is not a power that can be easily obtained simply by meeting the qualification requirements…”

Realizing that Akasha was talking about faith, Asha faced reality.

‘Is it ultimately a failure?’

The first surprise attack using faith. The attempt to kill Akasha, who did not hide her relaxed appearance, ended in failure.

Even Asha’s flames and Adele’s fists had difficulty demonstrating their power in front of that huge body.

No matter how sharp a kitchen knife is, it is impossible to inflict a fatal wound on a whale. Even faith is nearly half exhausted.

‘I don’t know if the absolute amount is small… or if the efficiency is bad.’

It was both. Not only is the absolute amount of hope from a thousand people insufficient, but the power used without a clear direction of faith is not determined and is not efficient.

In fact, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to even attempt the first attack.

However, since Asha and Adele’s ‘will to destroy Akasha’ coincided with the wishes and directions of the people who sent faith to them, the consumption of faith was saved.

“Good. The fact that I was not hurt after being kicked just now means that I was able to protect my body with faith. Equal to those damn gods.”

One even worse fact. Because the two have become gods, Akasha can attack them without hesitation.

“Even if you are on the verge of death, as long as you have faith, you can recover without any wounds or aftereffects. I’m really jealous.”

‘Asha, what should we do now?’

‘…sorry. There really is no way now.’

Adele clenched her molars. Asha saying there was no way was worse than saying she didn’t know.

“In other words, it is difficult to neutralize it with a normal attack. Haha… It’s been a while since I did this, but I don’t know if it will go well.”

As Akasha muttered to herself, she took a deep breath. The chest, which was swelling tightly, breath poured out from the lungs without any time to be shocked.

The dragon’s breath exploded from inside the disconnected space, similar to how Arjen shattered the falling meteorite in the past.
