How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

World Traveler: Isn't it better to just be silly and do whatever you want, whether there's something to do or nothing to do? Why always be thinking about work?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: A plush ball of fluff who's joined someone else's harem, lying down and not saying a word.

World Traveler: Hmph, I think you're just jealous, you silly thing.

Newbie just trying to make up the numbers: Just kidding, would I be jealous? Would I be jealous of you, a level 5, who's just a stupid, naive girl?

World Traveler: So you're pretty brave!

Fallen Saint Black Cat: Can you guys be serious for once, especially you, you idiot elf @newbie who just fills the numbers!!

Dream: That scumbag fox has always been so brave

Big Brother: Hmm, I have a plan, maybe we can give it a try.

Fallen Saint Black Cat: Please speak

Dear Big Brother: Miss Black Cat, didn't a calamity spirit suddenly appear at your school?

Ruri Gokou glanced subconsciously towards the sports warehouse. She hadn't felt anything at noon, but now, even from a distance, she could feel the oppressive atmosphere emanating from inside.

I believe that as long as students remain fearful of that place, the rumors will continue to circulate, accumulating little by little, and sooner or later the God of Calamity will become incredibly powerful.

Or rather, from being a god to becoming a ghost story, becoming one of the demons and monsters?

Newbie here to fill the numbers: Merlin, do you want the black cat to make a wish to that god of calamity and go and mess with the Time and Space Administration?

A seventeen-year-old girl: This is indeed a good plan.

A seventeen-year-old girl: The God of Calamity has lost his faith, his name, and is gradually being forgotten. In order not to disappear completely, she will do even things that convey resentment and fear, just to be remembered.

Paid Newbie: Moreover, the Time and Space Administration is currently mainly focused on eliminating reincarnators and is not a force that will stay for long. They won't be making many preparations for dealing with the spiritual energy resurgence. The sudden intervention of a Calamity God in the battle could indeed cause some chaos.

Fallen Saint Black Cat: Just causing some chaos?

Big Brother's Words: After all, he's just a calamity god.

A seventeen-year-old girl: The power of gods comes from faith. Gods who are about to be forgotten, even if they are still gods, will not have much power.

The seventeen-year-old girl: Mojin is indeed an unexpected pawn, but she is not a chariot that can disrupt the situation and charge recklessly.

For newbies just looking to fill a spot: According to the incense god's method, if you want to play a bigger role, you might as well try finding a famous martial god?

Noelle: Are there any particularly famous war gods from island nations?

Silver-haired Supreme: Hmm... if we're talking about this, then it should be Takemikazuchi, right?

Newbie here to fill in: Do you guys think that Bishamonten might be a blonde, tsundere, big-breasted older sister?

A seventeen-year-old girl: ...Hey, you're just filling in the numbers, aren't you Chinese? How do you know so much about the name "Bishamonten"?

World Traveler: Don't ask, the answer is just a pervert.

Fallen Saint Black Cat: I'll go find a shrine to Takemikazuchi and give it a try!

—

Chapter 478 Wugeng Liuli is in dire straits

Takemikazuchi.

A widely circulated deity in island mythology, revered as the god of thunder, swords, archery, war, and military.

One of the sons of Izanagi and Izanami.

Its image is that of a naked, demon-faced, burly man with a head of white, spiky hair, carrying eight thunder-seal drums, symbolizing the god of war.

In today's peaceful times, few people would specifically go to worship these kinds of deities. Most of them are just passersby who come up to offer a simple prayer because they think there's no harm in doing so.

Today, Takemikazuchi Shrine welcomes a girl in a school uniform.

Knowing of the spiritual revival, she easily felt awe for the gods, and with the utmost faith, she offered incense money and prayed for blessings in the most rigorous way.

This attracted the attention of passersby and shrine staff, who were surprised to encounter such a devout believer. After a few words of admiration, they went on with their own business.

People rushed in and out, and gradually, the girl praying for blessings faded from sight. No one knew when she left; it just felt like she disappeared in the blink of an eye, and everything returned to normal...

"... "

The girl, Ruri Gokou, opened her eyes after a sincere prayer and found herself back at the bustling entrance of the shrine, as if her prayers had been nothing but a pipe dream.

I was neither persuaded to leave by the shrine staff nor did I encounter any deities to offer guidance. Before I could even finish my prayers, I opened my eyes to find myself back at the gate.

A seventeen-year-old girl: I got rejected.

Newbie who was just there to make up the numbers: Rejected

World Traveler: It seems Takemikazuchi doesn't like flat-chested women.

Sorrowful Passing: This red and white can be discarded / Suddenly taking action

Noelle: The red and white combination is the most outrageous!

Fallen Saint Black Cat: Why? Compared to ordinary people who know nothing and only seek peace of mind, isn't my faith enough?

For newbies who pay: It's simple. Although you are a more sincere worshipper because you know about the spiritual revival, your quality is not enough to overwhelm the number of ordinary people who just want peace of mind.

For newbies who pay: Sometimes, quantity can outweigh quality, unless you can differentiate yourself by several levels.

A seventeen-year-old girl: It's like this, well-known deities don't lack followers, and they won't bother with trivial matters for a single believer, let alone a wish like a little black cat—which sounds quite grand.

A seventeen-year-old girl: After weighing the options, she decided to give up the more leisurely life.

Fallen Saint Black Cat: How could this be...?

Fantasy Dream: The so-called "big store bullies customers"

Newbie here to fill the numbers: The gods of the spiritual revival are far more perceptive than you are. They naturally know that the quality of faith will steadily improve afterward, and they're probably all preparing to plunder faith after the chaos erupts. Why would they bother with such a big deal for a mere worshipper like you, whose heart isn't even that sincere?

Fallen Saint Black Cat: But can this really be considered a god?

Newbie just adding this to the list: Even a god of incense is still a god, and besides, the myths and legends of this island nation aren't exactly positive.

Noelle: Perhaps we should go to China to pay our respects?

Thunder Lord of the Heart: Barbarians! (Probably something like this)

Noelle: Uh

Silver-haired Supreme: Hmm... I really can't think of a particularly kind god right now.

Fallen Saint Black Cat: Let me find a few more to look at!

Ruri Gokou was unconvinced and refused to believe that the island nation couldn't find a few gods willing to help her with this favor!

Using my phone and Google Maps, I searched for the nearest large shrines, and even visited every small shrine and shrine I passed by.

Without exception, any deity with a shrine, no matter how dilapidated, did not respond to Gokou Ruri's wish, unilaterally severing their bond and standing on the shore of the afterlife, rejecting Gokou Ruri in this world.

After going around in circles, she eventually returned to the school's sports storage room. Whether it was psychological or not, the sports storage room felt even more oppressive to Gokou Ruri at that moment. It was as if the things inside were eagerly awaiting her arrival, and a voice inside her kept tempting her!

"Fate is the expressed wish."

"Whatever your wish, I will grant it, as a price..."

Snapped!

Ruri Gokou slapped herself hard to wake up.

Fallen Holy Black Cat:...

Newbie here: Try to think positively. The spiritual energy revival has only just begun. The awakened gods probably won't have much power. That's what I'm dealing with; I've only encountered some weaklings. Even if I wanted to help, I probably wouldn't be able to.

A seventeen-year-old girl: ...Actually, there's another way, though it's not really a solution.

Paid Newbie: What will be the cost of letting more Calamity Gods stir up trouble?

A seventeen-year-old girl: It's hard to say, but regardless of success or failure, the outcome won't be fortunate. Even the gods can be wrathful; making a wish to a god of misfortune comes at a price.

Newbie just trying to make up the numbers: Not all gods cost only five yen.

World Traveler: Hurry and find Pishamonten! I want to see a blonde, arrogant, big-breasted older sister!

Newbie just trying to make up the numbers: Foolishly, this is a complex spiritual energy field. It's not like the world of the black cat has been fused with other worlds. There's no blonde, tsundere, big-breasted older sister like Shamonten.

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Wake up!

Dear older brother: I also want the blonde, arrogant, big-breasted big sister, Bishamonten!

My favorite magical girl: Shut up, you good-for-nothing!

My favorite is Magical Merry: If one day, Chaldea encounters a Heroic Spirit named Bishamonten, I will definitely tell Him this!

Fallen Saint Black Cat: Sister Purple, the power of gods comes from faith, right?

World Traveler: Li Xianggan, God and Demon?

Benten: News of sinkholes and gas explosions is flying everywhere in Chiba City right now, and rumors are rampant on Twitter. Especially since the Time and Space Administration dispersed the passersby, there's a feeling of being guided by God, and various religious groups are making their voices heard on social media.

Newbie trying to make up the numbers: Are you trying to deliberately misattribute the origin of these events to the God of Calamity?

Paid newbie: Creating a god?

My favorite is Magical Mary: Miss Black Cat, but I don't recommend this one.

Dear older brother: If any calamity-bringer lacks the character to shoulder this responsibility, it will only lead to a greater tragedy.

Noelle: And we know nothing about that calamity god.

Silver Hair is the Best: Why don't you wait for the group owner? The group owner will be arriving in Japan soon, right?

Newbie just there to fill a spot: I'll be there in about ten minutes, then I'll just parachute in and jump into the battlefield.

World Traveler: That's a great look!

Fallen Saint Black Cat: I think this is too late.

Chiba City...

Upon opening my phone, I noticed that the news reports about strange occurrences in various parts of Chiba City had gradually subsided and were becoming fewer in number. The smoke and fire that had filled the city sky had also gradually died down.

The school, where students and teachers had quietly left, signified that the Time and Space Administration had dispersed the crowd. The silent campus would undoubtedly be the venue for her final confrontation with her larger self.

Given the other party's attitude of not listening to a word, Gokou Ruri wasn't confident she could turn the tables with words alone; she wasn't like Mr. Kamijou.

"It's just a final struggle!" Ruri Gokou put away her phone, her gaze resolute.

The computing power gained from developing superpowers was activated at this moment to formulate a guiding plan for the network's rhythm—

"Little girl over there, that's not the place to make a wish!"

A voice suddenly pierced the silence of the campus!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Chapter 479: Name of God...Ye Dou

On Twitter, news tweets related to the Chiba City incident are decreasing, while discussions about the miracle of no casualties in Chiba City are surging.

Conspiracy theories, divine favor theories, miracle theories, and so on, are constantly emerging on various social media platforms.

The discussion grew increasingly heated, with all topics related to Chiba City dominating Twitter's trending topics list. Apart from that, only a few purchased trending topics hung there alone, looking rather out of place.

"Big Sister Fox, the theory of miracles has been guided into a specific image. I wonder if it was Liuli who did it."

On the China-Japan Express heading to the island nation, Kosaka Yu also followed several professional hackers, keeping an eye on information about Chiba City online.

After Miss Fox explained the spiritual energy revival and the situation in Chiba City, Japan, the Chinese leadership did not think much of it and directly provided them with as much help as possible.

This includes, but is not limited to, air express and specialized information personnel assisting in their operations.

Hmm? You mean why the three of them?

That's only natural. Guo Wen is arguably the only safe reincarnator, but he has no fighting ability whatsoever. So, we naturally won't take him back to Chiba City and drag him down.

"Should we interfere or crack it?" the information expert asked casually, even thinking of getting a glass of water.

Before this mission began, there was an emergency mobilization, a special briefing from the leadership, and we even had to travel abroad in fighter jets. I initially thought it would be an exceptionally difficult operation, but it turned out...

There's no need for information warfare, complicated hacking, or even dealing with vulnerabilities. The three people who need assistance are two pretty young ladies who speak nicely. They don't have any requirements; they just need to keep an eye on the online dynamics related to Chiba City in Japan. No screening is required.

Not only is it relaxing, but it's also very pleasing to the eye.

Especially the blonde lady codenamed Fox, slumped lazily in her seat, her body language could fool his brain when she wasn't speaking. His heart was pounding, hitting his XP right in the head, making him feel extremely happy, almost ready to take off.

I wouldn't say I'd like more of these kinds of missions, but I hope to be able to work with Miss Fox more often in the future.

"There's no need to break the interference. Anyway, if the spiritual energy is revived, even if it's not guided to a calamity god, this legend will give birth to a new god on its own."
