Chapter 628

If only the name is mentioned, Broly might not necessarily recall who Batu Nan is.

But adding the Saiyan God Religion makes Broly remember him.

"That uncle who dug the well, what does he want visiting me?"

Broly is somewhat curious.

"I wouldn't know about that."

Mio only came to report, she didn't ask the visitor's purpose.

"Alright, Miss Mio, please show him to the living room, I'll go meet him."

Broly didn't refuse the meeting.

He let Chelsea bathe slowly, used Qi to evaporate the water on his body, put on a white bathrobe, and walked out.

In the living room of the Daxi City Assassin Alliance Annex, Broly met Bishop Batu Nan.

"Uncle Batu Nan, long time no see."

Broly smiled and greeted the now properly dressed middle-aged man, completely opposite his previous unkempt appearance.

Seeing the Saiyan boy who helped dig the spring eye looking exactly the same as before, Batu Nan was excited, but when he walked up close, the man's mouth moved twice, ultimately turning into a respectful address: "Broly-sama."

The strange characters "Run Tu" flashed through Broly's mind, he shook his head, and directly asked the man before him his purpose.

"Uncle Batu Nan, you suddenly came to visit me, is something the matter? Could it be that the Kathisi Region has another water cutoff situation?"

"No, there isn't. Thanks to the spring eye you dug back then, Kathisi is now an oasis, and for eight years there hasn't been a single water cutoff. This visit has two purposes. One is regarding the Saiyan God Religion's doctrine, we want to ask for your opinion."

As Batu Nan spoke, he handed over a scripture. The first doctrine Broly saw upon opening it was: The spring eye of Kathisi is a gift from the Saiyan God, no one may privately possess it for profit; all believers of the Saiyan God may enjoy this blessed water source, and every believer has the duty and responsibility to protect the spring eye from pollution or destruction...

Broly flipped through the rest, finding the doctrines only contained sharing water resources, cherishing water resources, and guiding people toward goodness and away from evil. He quickly returned the scripture: "This is all written quite well, I have no opinion."

"That's good then." Batu Nan breathed a sigh of relief, paused, then said: "The second purpose is that the believers in the Kathisi Region, upon hearing you appeared here at the Daxi City Martial Arts Tournament, hope to be able to meet you in person..."

In the Kathisi Region, Broly is the Savior. Eight years isn't enough for a generation to change. Countless Kathisi people who were saved by obtaining the water source back then have incomparably devout faith in him.

After the news of the Saiyan God appearing here at the Martial Arts Tournament spread back to the Kathisi Region, countless believers spontaneously gathered at every Saiyan God Religion church, hoping Bishop Batu Nan could bring back the god they believe in.

"But, I'm not a god."

Broly reminded him.

"But in the hearts of the Kathisi people, you are a god. You gave many people a way to live."

Batu Nan said sincerely, looking at him with expectation.

"Alright, if it's just meeting once, I can make time to go over."

Broly ultimately didn't refuse.

"I and the many believers of Kathisi await your arrival."

Batu Nan was very happy, bowed to him, and left without further disturbance.

Returning to the bathroom to help Akame and the others scrub their backs, in the evening Broly mentioned this in the group chat room.

"Isn't this just a fan meet-and-greet?"

Nanahoshi Shizuka hit the nail on the head, stating the psychology of the Kathisi believers wanting to see him.

"It really is a bit unexpected, Broly, you actually did something similar in another world to what you did on the Magic Continent..."

Roxy joined late, and although she knows Akame and the others and has even heard stories about the other wives from the boy, she obviously doesn't know the full extent of Broly's experiences in the Akame ga Kill World, because Broly isn't a Bard, he didn't take some unimportant trivial matters to heart.

"Then why didn't the Magic Continent's residents revere Broly as a god?"

Eris is somewhat dissatisfied. She feels the Magic Continent people, whose living environment also improved because of the Saiyan, should learn from the Kathisi people of the other world and enshrine the family boy who solved the water shortage.

"Probably related to the Magic Continent having Water Mages."

Sylphy gave an explanation close to the truth. An act considered a Divine Miracle in the Akame ga Kill World might just be something a powerful Mage can do in the Six-Faced World. Plus the Magic Continent's demon race lacks gratitude, so naturally they wouldn't worship him as a god.

Of course, there are still demons grateful to him, for example Roxy's clan, the Migurdia.

"Broly, do you want the people of this world to worship you as a god?" Princess Ariel asked, then added: "If needed, I can help you establish a sect in the Asura Kingdom."

"Uh, thanks, but not needed. I'm a Saiyan. People's faith in me actually has no meaning to me."

Saiyans don't believe in gods. Others believing in him won't make him stronger by half a bit, not believing won't make him weaker by a single thread.

So-called believers, in Broly's eyes, aren't any particularly special group of people.

"Then Broly, can you transfer the believers who have no meaning to you to Master me?"

Right after he sent that passage above, Aqua quickly asked below.

"Huh, Aqua Master, otherworld believers seem to have no use for you, right?"

Broly felt it somewhat strange. Faith power cannot be transmitted across worlds. Don't look at the Black Bullet and Food Spirit Worlds having Axis Cult branches, but unless Aqua goes to those worlds, she fundamentally cannot mobilize the faith power those worlds' believers provide for her.

"Ah, I got it."

Before Aqua could reply, Eris sent a line first, sounding like a sudden realization, having figured something out.

"?"

Broly sent a question mark, and Eris began explaining in the group chat room.

Turns out, in the Heavenly Realm, Goddesses can display the number of Mortal Realm believers they possess, and it's unaffected across worlds.

The more believers, the more it represents a certain Goddess being popular among mortals in the Mortal Realm.

And among Heavenly Goddesses, having many believers is a very face-saving thing.

As an analogy, it's somewhat like an ordinary person's bank deposits.

"Recently, Aqua-senpai kept showing off her ever-increasing believer count. I didn't understand how she suddenly became popular and gained so many believers, but now I know — those were otherworld believers!"

After sending this passage, Eris continued sending lecturing words: "Aqua-senpai, faking believer numbers is bad behavior.

Those are believers belonging to this kid Broly. How can you make Broly transfer them and graft them onto yourself? This is vanity at work!"

Normal proselytizing, Eris would definitely not say anything, but what Aqua just proposed — transplanting faith — isn't that just bullying this kid Broly for not being a god?

As a proper Heavenly Goddess, she must lecture against this behavior, and make this Goddess senpai, who is also her Crystal Palace senpai, realize her error and return to the right path!

But just as she was preparing to continue lecturing Aqua, Aqua sent a reply: "When you stuff padding into your own flat chest, don't you ever think that's also an act driven by vanity?!"

Lies don't hurt people; the truth is a sharp blade. Eris was directly dealt a critical hit, and in the group chat room she pretended to go offline on the spot, simply because she had no rebuttal.

"Um, how about I change this world's Saiyan God Religion into a joint branch of the Axis Cult and the Eris Cult from another world?"

"As for the believers of the Saiyan God Religion, Aqua Master, you and Eris split them half and half?"

Broly tried to comfort his wife, the Goddess of Luck, but Aqua directly opposed the proposal of splitting them half and half.

"I was the one who brought this up first, so I should take the bigger share."

"Eris, is that okay?"

"Stop playing dead, you vain goddess!"

Aqua @ Eris.

"Ugh, I don't need any."

Eris declined politely, but was soon criticized by Aqua.

"As goddesses who both need faith, even though the power of faith from another world can't be transmitted over, just increasing the number of believers is a good thing."

"And as long as we visit those worlds every once in a while, we can collect the faith power those worlds have stored up for us."

"Now you refuse to take it, but how am I supposed to take it?"

"If I take it, how will the others in the group chat room look at me?"

"Aqua, you shameless brat, surely you don't think you still have some so-called goddess prestige in the group chat room?"

Sink Nirvalen @ Aqua.

"Long-eared elf green tea bitch, don't talk to me!"

【Aqua has blocked your message.】

Star Cup World, Sink Nirvalen's Crystal Palace Panel; right under her message in the group chat room, this prompt popped up directly.

"Hmph, this scoundrel goddess, once her sore spot is exposed she blocks and blacklists people~"

Sink Nirvalen shrugged her shoulders, not minding this kind of thing at all; she thought it was a sign that Aqua was afraid of her.

"So if you won't take it, then don't blame me for making you wear small shoes and piling all the work on you!"

Aqua directly threatened her.

"Ah, why is it like this?"

Under Aqua's pressure, Eris had no choice but to accept forty percent of the Saiyan God Religion's believers.

"But, words return to the start—how exactly are the believers' faith to be divided among you? I can't just let..."

The question Broly raised really stumped Aqua.

But Aqua soon thought of the origin of the Saiyan God Religion, which was like digging a spring eye.

Rounding it off, Broly, this God of Saiyans, was roughly equivalent to the Water God of the Akame ga Kill World.

【Turns out even before meeting Broly, Broly was already fated with herself~】

Aqua thought to herself complacently, then spoke in the group chat room: "In that case, there's no need for a four-six split anymore. Broly, just add our doctrines into your Saiyan God Religion, and tell your believers of our existence."

"As for who to convert to, let your believers choose for themselves which one of us to believe in!"

"Eh, Aqua, you shameless goddess, when did you become so generous?"

"These words were sent by me on behalf of that guy Sink Nirvalen."

Jibril spoke up below.

"Hmph, I've always been this generous."

Aqua replied with a sentence, but in reality she just felt she had victory in hand.

After all, regarding the Saiyan God Religion originating from her own disciple's spring water, she felt that as the Water God, compared to Eris the Goddess of Luck, she was simply winning by a landslide right from the starting line.

If they converted, surely more would convert to her.

And the facts were indeed so: when Broly went to the Kathisi Region to meet the believers of the Saiyan God Religion, proclaiming that he himself was not a god, merely an emissary of the gods, and that the true gods were others.

After revealing the existence of Aqua and Eris, the Saiyan God Religion believers who converted to Aqua, the Water Goddess, were indeed the most numerous.

But this was only the initial situation. Once some wealthy merchants claimed they had earned a large sum of money under the protection of the Goddess of Luck, the trend of conversion reversed.

Eris was the Goddess of Luck, but in the KonoSuba World her alias was the Fortune Goddess; financial luck was also luck, so it was no wonder her faith could flourish.

Water could solve basic survival, but luck could determine a person's wealth and status. Although separated by worlds, neither Aqua nor Eris could descend their divine grace across worlds, but there were always believers who happened to strike it rich and attributed their good fortune to the gods' miracles.

The Axis Cult and the Eris Cult, placed in another world for fair competition, ultimately the one with the most believers was still the Eris Cult.

The Goddess of Luck (God of Fortune)—everyone wants to worship her.

Of course, as for which of the two goddesses with different doctrines was more popular among the mortals of the Akame ga Kill World in a contest of faith, that was a story for later.

After assisting Chelsey in recovering from physical fatigue and training in martial arts to grow stronger, Broly stayed in this world for another month. Because the planet spaceship on Nappa Star was expected to leave its original star system, he had no choice but to return to Nappa Star.

"Broly-san, we look forward to your next return."

Akame's wives stepped forward one by one to bid him farewell, and Broly finally turned his gaze to Chelsey.

"Chelsey, I now solemnly invite you to join the Crystal Palace and become my wife. Are you willing?"

A prompt sound from the Crystal Palace appeared in her mind. Chelsey was not startled; she nodded and agreed directly: "Yes, I am willing."

"After I leave this world, you should reduce your training intensity a bit. Remember to balance work and rest, and don't tire yourself out too much."

Chelsey nodded. She felt like crying. Only today did she realize who was responsible for her high-intensity study schedule.

It could be said that without Broly helping her recover energy and relieve fatigue, she would never have been assigned daily homework of studying and practicing martial arts to death.

But if she truly hated him, that wasn't the case either. After all, every evening when she bathed, Broly's massage was really comfortable.

And her ability to handle government affairs and her martial arts strength had indeed grown—it was an undeniable fact. She had truly become more outstanding.

Still, she felt resentful. So when Broly was preparing to leave this place, Chelsey rushed up and gave the boy a kiss.

Her true purpose was to bite Broly's tongue through a farewell kiss, to make the boy hurt a little and know how formidable she was.
