Chapter 306 Precedents
"Ahem." Panis coughed violently and grabbed Catherine's hand weakly and said, "Catherine, I think my injury is very serious and I'm about to die."
"You deserve it, and you can't die at all." Knowing that the gods would say this clearly means that they would not mind about it, the Knight girl finally put down her hanging heart, patted her hands and rolled her eyes and said, "Whether you blame yourself or take off your anger, you have scolded me anyway, now you should explain clearly what's going on. What does Danacus's maintaining a hint of sober consciousness mean? Is it different from your previous guess?"
"It's hard to say a few words in a hurry, but it's really a big difference." Panis sighed and explained: "To put it simply, if you were replaced by Danacus, you would choose this method that has a great impact on your recovery. Would you rather delay your recovery time than retain a hint of consciousness?"
"It's hard to say." Catherine scratched her head and said in embarrassment: "If I were in a dangerous situation, I should have made this choice. However, if I was just a little awake and could not do anything, it would be unnecessary. It's better to revive myself as soon as possible and reduce the time I was in danger."
"Well, but not nothing can be done, and it can still have a small impact on the outside world." Panis added: "Of course, the influence will not be very big, that is, it slightly interferes with the host's will. Occasionally, when the host's will is weak, it will not have any decisive effect to let the host do some behaviors that violate the host's will."
"Is it just a disturbance? Then there is no need." Catherine thought for a while and shook her head, "The price paid is too high, and it is completely disproportionate to the harvest. I will not do this."
"A good answer, if it were me, I wouldn't have done that." Panis clapped his hands and said in agreement: "I think most people wouldn't do it, but Danakus did it."
"Wait, Kyle." Flar interrupted Panis and asked, "How can you be sure that Danacus did this? Has he communicated with you?"
"Of course not, I just infer." Panis shrugged and said with a wry smile: "When Neli told me that decades ago, when the half-dead people found the Sanctuary of Danakus, I felt something was wrong. If I wanted to raise the Sanctuary of Danakus from the ground, I had to use the divine power of Danakus, but Neli would definitely not allow them to call the divine power, so the divine power they transported could only be Danakus' own. Of course, it can also be believed that Danakus was ready before he fell asleep and authorized them to call the divine power in advance, which made me not too concerned. However, Neli told me later that she would occasionally make some inexplicable things to Danakus when she was unconscious recently.
What Cuth is advantageous, such as letting the undead lead a large army out to build a city, almost became the cause of the war. This is a problem. Can a god who is still sleeping and not really awake? Perhaps for mortals, the sleeping soul can do it. After all, their will is too huge compared to mortals, but what if the object is Neli, who has a divine body and performs divine power? She also has believers, although she is so stupid that she doesn't know how to collect the power of faith, and also has divine nature. Although she will only make divine effect spontaneously, she still has these. Can an unconscious soul in the sleeping world really affect her will and make her do her own inexplicable behavior?"
"It seems... unlikely." Flar said hesitantly: "After all, Goddess Goddess has never slept like Lord Deniya, and she doesn't know if she can do it, but theoretically, it shouldn't be able to do it. Even if the sleeping is unstable and is about to wake up, it will not cause such great interference to a divine agent like Neri."
"Today, I think there are at least dozens of gods here. I hope all the adults can answer my question." Panis looked around the void around him, as if there were really a pair of eyes looking at him: "Among all the adults present, there should be those who borrowed the bodies of believers or mortals to recover from their sleep. At least in the war more than three thousand years ago, there have been several cases."
Silence, suppressed silence enveloped the space in the corridor, and Panis's question received no response. It was not until a few minutes passed that Flar said uncertainly: "There are several adults, Lord Touketrashire, who told me that there are indeed, but most of them are bodies offered by the believers, and the other one obtained the body of the mortals through...uh... some way, a deal with the mortals."
"Similar to the Nightmare Spirit?" Panis asked, "Dimos?"
"Well, I've heard of Dimos, it's really similar." Flar nodded and said, "So, the goddess said, I really don't know what will happen if this behavior of forcibly occupying the body of a mortal."
"Well, interrupt it." Lina suddenly said, "Mr. Deniya said that similar things did happen a long time ago. As far as she knew, at least one happened in the first century. The god pretended to fail in the battle, swallowed his soul by the mortal, and then fell asleep for two hundred years. During this period, nothing happened. The mortal who was seized from the body thought that he had successfully swallowed the god, but had not completely digested the original divine nature of the god. Until two hundred years later, the soul revived and he took back control of the body in just an instant."
"In other words, there was no interference, and the mortal didn't even notice that there was another soul in his body?" Panis asked, "and then he was swallowed for no reason?"
"It's probably that's the case." Lina hesitated for a while before saying: "But the specific situation is different. He deliberately lurked himself up, so he naturally would not deliberately create an impact, so it is not 100% certain. But theoretically speaking, a completely sleeping soul generally does not have any impact on the host, unless he still retains a certain degree of awake consciousness."
"That's enough, thank you, Lord Deniya." Panis nodded to Lina and continued, "So, although it's impossible to be sure, I tend to think that Danakus has always retained a certain degree of consciousness and has been watching silently. So what is he watching? Seeing Neli transforming his world completely differently, watching Neli clear out his followers step by step, watching Neli attract me to kill herself, why did he look at these things? Is his brain abnormal?"
