[1. Kill the Heretical God Asclepius and take his Authority as the God of Medicine—Chippo. Use the sharp scalpel to cut away all harmful things from the body, even matter, energy, phenomena, injuries, curses, and concepts can be cut by Chippo.]
[2. Kill the Heretical God Phoenix and take his Authority of immortality—Phoenix Nirvana. Reconstruct the body using flames. The resurrection ability can be used once a day and can be forcibly activated, but it will cause irreversible damage to the body.]
[3. Drink the holy water contained in the divine artifact Holy Grail of the Last Supper. It can remove any physical discomfort, and the discomfort will not reappear. The Holy Grail of the Last Supper also possesses the holy power to resurrect the dead.]
Recalling the answer given by "Glimpse of Fate," Nakano Yu frowned. He didn't even consider the third option of obtaining the Holy Grail of the Last Supper.
How difficult it was to obtain a divine artifact, let alone find the Holy Grail of the Last Supper, which was the wine vessel used by the Son of God Jesus during his Last Supper with his eleven disciples.
"Glimpse of Fate," while giving the answer, also told Nakano Yu how to obtain these Authorities and divine artifacts.
The first two both required Nakano Yu to gather the corresponding God relics and sacrifice ten thousand human souls to summon the God.
As for the Holy Grail of the Last Supper, it required Nakano Yu to enter the Immortal Domain where God resides and steal the Holy Grail from the Heretical God Jesus.
Compared to the first two methods of killing the Heretical God, the Holy Grail of the Last Supper could be said to be the hardest to obtain. After all, entering the divine domain was something the current Nakano Yu could not do.
"Gather the corresponding God relics, and also sacrifice ten thousand human lives?"
Thinking about the method of summoning the Heretical God, Nakano Yu frowned. He remembered that Marquis Voban also had a way to summon the Heretical God, but summoning the Heretical God by Marquis Voban required sacrificing Miko. In comparison, his method of sacrificing ten thousand human souls was much simpler.
After all, Miko were not everywhere, but ten thousand human souls could easily be found.
Another problem was the God relics.
According to the answer from "Glimpse of Fate," summoning the God of Disobedience Asclepius required collecting three relics containing his divinity: Asclepius's Staff, Asclepius's Vessel, and the Symbol of the Holy Serpent.
These three relics were scattered throughout Greece. Nakano Yu had already sent the Moon God Envoy to Greece via Moon Authority to collect these three relics, and estimated that they would soon be found.
However, the two relics of the Heretical God Phoenix were a little harder to find.
First, Phoenix's Eye was deep within the sun. Second, the bird's feather was simple; he only needed to pluck a feather of the phoenix, but the current problem was finding the phoenix.
Therefore, for now, Nakano Yu could only let the Moon God Envoy collect the three relics required to summon the God of Disobedience Asclepius.
"I hope there will be some gains."
Sighing, Nakano Yu's tone carried anticipation. "Glimpse of Fate" only gave approximate locations of the three relics, so the Moon God Envoys had to find them themselves. Although those guys didn't seem very smart, finding something as simple as this shouldn't be a problem.
Well, probably.
Shaking his head, Nakano Yu stopped thinking about those things. He looked at the full moon outside the window, then lay on the bed to sleep.
"Hoo-hoo~ Hoo-hoo~"
In the dark night, a man in a vest ran wildly, constantly looking behind, as if something terrifying was chasing him.
However, behind the man, there was obviously nothing, only the extinguished streetlights and deep darkness.
"Plop."
Suddenly, it seemed the man stepped on something, and his steps abruptly stopped.
He looked at his dirty black leather shoes, his face filled with horror.
The man slowly lifted his foot, only to see that the sole of his expensive shoe, at some point, had stuck to a white sticky substance that looked like… a spider web!
Ignoring everything else, the man pulled his foot with force, but no matter how hard he pulled, the sticky substance like a web stretched longer and longer, but did not break.
"Damn it! Bastard!"
Seeing this, the man panicked. He grabbed a pole and violently shook his foot, trying to free himself from the sticky substance, but it stubbornly remained attached.
Muttering a curse, the man simply took off his shoes, threw them aside, and then quickly ran into the distance.
But as soon as the man left, under the streetlight, a huge figure flashed. The figure looked like a human, but… it seemed to have the body of a spider…
"Ah!!!"
A moment later, a scream echoed under the night sky, but quickly died out.
In the quiet night, the full moon hung high in the sky, casting its pale light on the ground, and also on a puddle of blood.
"So, was that man finally eaten by Spider Woman?"
"I don't know, I just heard this story from someone, but oh, Spider Woman really exists!"
Inside the classroom, several girls who liked horror stories gathered to tell scary stories. The one that had just been told was an urban legend called 'Spider Woman'.
"Why are you so sure?"
As soon as the words of that confident student ended, the short-haired girl sitting behind her, holding a book, asked curiously.
"Because I saw her! Do you know someone recently died on Ukiyoe Fifth Street? Do you know about that?"
Seeing that she was being questioned, the student crossed her arms and spoke, her tone inexplicably carrying a hint of pride.
"I know about that. They said it was a crime of passion. The man was a marriage breaker, and his lawful wife found him and cut him to death with knives."
After the student asked, another blonde girl raised her hand and replied.
But after finishing her speech, the student who told the horror story immediately shook her head, a trace of fear and excitement flashing in her eyes, and said:
"Actually, I was at the scene. It wasn't a crime of passion at all. Clear traces of tearing by some wild beast were visible at the scene, everything was bloody, and there was also an extremely large spider, about… the size of three people!"
While speaking, the student also gestured with her hand, almost hitting the short-haired girl in the face.
"How is that possible? How could a spider weave such a huge web?"
The short-haired girl was a little dissatisfied and said.
"It's true! If I lie, I'm a liar!"
"I certainly don't believe it. Spider Woman is just made up."
"Watch out, Spider Woman might come for you tonight~"
"Ew~ Disgusting!"
In the corner of the classroom, Nakano Yu's gaze withdrew from the three girls talking about Spider Woman.
"Yu-chan, are you interested in that Spider Woman?"
"Yu, is that Spider Woman real?"
After hearing the urban legend about Spider Woman, Tachibana Marika and Katsura Kotonoha asked one after another.
This morning, Nakano Yu had introduced Tachibana Marika to Katsura Kotonoha, and also didn't hide the fact that he and Katsura Kotonoha were already engaged. However, what surprised Nakano Yu was that Tachibana Marika actually knew about it and didn't care.
Maybe… Tachibana Marika's attitude was related to her physical condition.
"This thing is real. Uncle Tachibana sent me information about the man who was killed. He hopes I can help him solve this case. Didn't he tell Marihana?"
Nakano Yu nodded, acknowledging the existence of "Spider Woman". While speaking, he looked at Tachibana Marika with a slightly surprised expression and asked.
He thought that Tachibana Gen's secrecy was limited to outsiders, but he didn't expect that this old man would keep secrets even from his own daughter.
"It must be because father was worried it would scare me."
Tachibana Marika thought for a moment and said. She was quite scared of these things, but also quite interested. The fear was because these things were ugly, and the interest because she was curious.
"I heard that Nakano Yu says Tachibana Marika is very brave."
Katsura Kotonoha heard that, looked at Marihana, and said.
"It's fine. Does Nakano Yu often mention me? After all, I'm his childhood friend, his first love, the type promised at birth, you know."
Hearing Katsura Kotonoha speak, Tachibana Marika's face lit up with a smile. She crossed her arms over her chest and said proudly.
"Nakano Yu often mentions Tachibana Marika."
Seeing that, Katsura Kotonoha slightly smiled and said.
She realized that when it came to things concerning Nakano Yu, Marika was surprisingly easy to soothe. She was a very good girl.
Watching Katsura Kotonoha lie without blinking, Nakano Yu clicked his tongue in his mind.
Is this still the innocent girl he knew? People really change. Even an innocent girl like Kotonoha learned to lie and became worldly.
"Hehe~ I knew Yu-chan couldn't forget me. He even pretended to be restrained when we first met. What a tsundere Yu-chan!"
Hearing this, Tachibana Marika smiled even more happily. She said, looking at the young man with a teasing gaze, covering her mouth with her hand, and murmured quietly.
Although she murmured quietly, at such a small distance, it was hard for Nakano Yu not to hear.
"Aren't we talking about Spider Woman? Anyway, Marika, it's best not to go out much these two days."
Ignoring Tachibana Marika's teasing, Nakano Yu returned the topic to Spider Woman.
He wasn't worried that Katsura Kotonoha would encounter Spider Woman. After all, the current Katsura Kotonoha… probably that so-called Spider Woman wouldn't withstand even three strikes from Katsura Kotonoha. Rather than hoping Kotonoha wouldn't run into Spider Woman, it seemed more like Spider Woman should avoid Kotonoha.
Moreover, there were also Moon God Envoys constantly guarding her, so Nakano Yu was very relaxed.
He just didn't know whether the Moon God Envoy sent yesterday had collected the relics of the God of Disobedience Asclepius. He could only wait until night to see if any Moon God Envoy returned to find them.
Just as he was thinking, a shout suddenly rang out:
"Hey! Nakano-kun, someone is looking for you outside!"
Hearing the shout, Nakano Yu stood up, told the two girls to continue talking, and then went out of the classroom.
But as soon as he stepped outside the classroom, Nakano Yu saw a figure he could never have imagined.
It was a beautiful young girl with black waist-length hair, fair skin, and delicate facial features. However, her cold expression made her look like an iceberg.
This girl was none other than Yukinoshita Yukino!
