Note: Psychic energy changed to psionic energy. I think it's more accurate.
In this world, there were a total of eleven gods.
The Goddess of Fate, Axalia.
The Moonlight Goddess, Evanesse.
The Sun God, Charles.
The Death Goddess, Tahlia.
The Dragon God, Fireborn.
The Night God, Eren.
The Ice God, Deto.
The God of Slaughter, Rhyat.
The God of the Hunt, Ether.
The Water Goddess, Milla.
And the God of Duels, Ye Yin.
Of them, the first five were considered the strongest, and their powers were similar, and the other six were slightly weaker.
Due to the treaty of the gods, battles between gods were uncommon, so it was hard to determine which one was stronger, and which one was weaker. However, even the weakest god was much stronger than any demigod.
Any demigod would despair when facing a god, but now, there were seven gods in this place.
And all of them were looking at Regina.
Even if they were not in their true bodies, and instead were using the bodies of their believers to descend to this place, the strength of any of them was still way higher than Regina's.
The death goddess, a demon woman with a gloomy atmosphere, was the first to notice Regina's unusualness.
[An incomplete soul. Wait, she is not human A doll?]
[Really?] The Night God stared at Regina curiously. [Interesting. It's my first ti seeing such an exquisite construct. Tell , doll, who is your creator?]
Regina did not reply. She just stared at the seven gods with an ice-cold expression.
[It looks like the doll doesn't want to tell you.] The playful young man, Slaughter, chuckled.
The Night God didn't reply, however, the eyes staring at Regina beca colder.
[Is the Heart with her?] asked the Death Goddess to the Sun God.
[It is not.]
[Oh, but she must know where it is. Otherwise, you would not be chasing her.]
The Sun God did not reply, but the mana around him beca stronger.
[Do you really want to beco my enemies?]
[I don't mind it, actually.] Slaughter's lips curved up savagely. [I have wanted to kill you for a while now. Today is a good day to find how the flesh of a god tastes.]
Night and Hunt seed interested after listening to Slaughter's words.
[I like that idea. Let's kill Sun first.]
[Count in.]
The Sun God narrowed his eyes.
[A stray dog and a lap cat. Do you think you are qualified to kill ?]
The expressions of the Night God and the God of the Hunt darkened, and their gazes beca hostile.
anwhile, the other gods just watched with amused expressions.
It was well-known that the relationship between the Sun God and the Night God and the God of the Hunt was not good. It was because the Night God and the God of the Hunt were beastn, and the relationship between beastn and the human supremacist Sun Kingdom was the worst.
[Okay, stop it.] The god of duels, a demon with a spear behind him, stared at the other gods with a frown. [Sun God, the situation has changed now that we are here. If you want to get the Heart, you must compete for it with us.]
[Yeah. But first, how about getting the location of the Heart from the doll?] The Ice God suggested while using his eyes to look at Regina.
The other gods followed his gaze. Then, the Goddess of Death extended her hand in Regina's direction.
In the next second, an intangible will appeared and grabbed her, bringing her before the gods.
Regina did not resist. She knew that resisting now would achieve nothing. She needed to wait for the perfect opportunity to escape.
[Tell , doll. Where is the Heart?] The Death Goddess asked in a gloomy tone.
Regina kept silent. She just closed her eyes and continued gathering her psionic energy in her heart.
[It looks like you don't want to talk. Then, I must ask your soul directly.]
In the next instant, the goddess's will turned into a needle that pierced Regina's soul.
The goddess planned to read Regina's mories directly, even if it ant injuring or destroying Regina's ouls.
Just then, Regina opened her eyes.
Following that, her psionic energy erupted, turning into a fla that burned the will of the death goddess.
The fla then followed the will of the goddess and attacked her soul.
[This is-!?]
The goddess opened her eyes wide. She instinctively tried to defend her soul, but her defenses were broken easily, making her groan in pain.
It was the price of underestimating Regina.
Perhaps in terms of strength, the goddess was far superior to Regina. But when it ca to souls, she was inferior.
Regina's abilities belonged to the ESPer system, and ESP abilities ca from the soul. Unlike the powerhouses of this world, whose abilities ca from mana, the abilities of Regina ca from soul power, or psionic energy.
It ant that Regina's soul power was several tis stronger than demigods of her level, and consequently, her soul was much stronger as well.
Regina was aware of that. Thus, when she felt the goddess's intent to read her soul, she knew that her opportunity had co.
While the gods were surprised by Regina's sudden move, she released the psionic energy she had been gathering until now.
The psionic turned into two blades that fell into her hands. Then, she swung the two blades in a fan shape.
However, her goal was not to attack the gods.
Instead, her energy blades passed above their heads, slicing off the invisible thread connecting them to sowhere far away.
The effect of her attack was imdiate.
In the next second, the expressions of the seven gods beca dull. Then, their bodies plumted to the ground.
Regina looked at that scene while panting heavily. Her energy blades slowly dissipated as she heaved a sigh of relief.
"It looks like master's theory was right."
Bloed's experints demonstrated that faith was a kind of energy. And the gods used that energy to connect to their believers through a 'thread of faith' and perform miracles such as god's descent.
Then, what would happen if they cut the thread of faith?
The connection between the god and the individual would be cut off. In theory, doing this could terminate a god's descent.
Plus, due to the burden caused by the god's descent, the host of the god would perish shortly after the god leaves the body, so the god would be unable to return to the body.
This was the trump card that Bloed prepared if they had to fight a god. However, they were not sure that it would work.
Luckily, its effect was much better than Bloed and Regina expected.
But Regina did not show any sign of pride even after defeating the seven gods. Instead, she looked anxiously in Bloed's direction.
Just at that mont, the bomb exploded.
Regina's face beca pale.
"Master, please be safe."
She then extended her wings and flew towards Bloed's location.
