Chapter 1497

Thor Odinson: "...... I have a reasonable request; I wonder if everyone would be willing to listen."

Tony Not the Richest: "What reasonable request do you have?"

Thor Odinson: "When you discuss Thor Modi, can you just call him Modi and drop the words 'Thor'?"

Thor stated that whenever he heard the words "Thor," he felt strange all over his body.

Especially when he heard members of the society discussing how to deal with Thor Modi, he felt even stranger.

Even though he knew the "Thor" in Thor Modi had nothing to do with his own title's "Thor."

White Hu Zi Old Man: "Gurara! The gap between you two is still enormous, isn't it?"

I Am a Marquis: "Hmph! Thor is more of an alien."

"But Thor Modi is... that kind of... utterly orthodox deity from mythology!"

White Hu Zi Old Man: "That's true! Just now, using Kenbunshoku, I learned many pieces of information."

Thor Modi belongs to that kind of being who accumulates faith and gradually ascends to the peak."

"This method of becoming a god should be called... Faith Enthronement."

Tony Not the Richest: "...... This method of Faith Enthronement is indeed far more orthodox than Thor's."

Thor Odinson: "......"

Thor Odinson: "!!! I am the most orthodox one, okay? Our Asgard is inherently a divine race—this is universally acknowledged in the universe."

"Although we are aliens, we are still a divine race."

Clark Kent: "...... Speaking of this, it reminds me of Wonder Woman from our world."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Diana? It seems somewhat similar to Thor's situation, yet something feels off."

Wei Bo: "...... What's different? Both are covered in divine-grade equipment."

"Both have bloodline powers so strong they defy logic... Hmm! If I must point out a difference, Thor is pure-blooded divinity, while Diana is a demigod."

Hōrai Kaguya: "......"

Nenjiya Eri: "......"

Esdeath: "So there are such distinctions...? I always thought Thor and Diana were just similarly designed characters!"

Wudao Dong Xiang: "No... the difference lies in excluding demigods and deities! This setting is also extremely similar."

Luo Hao Sect Master: "The topic has strayed too far... let's return to Faith Enthronement."

Having spent long periods with Thor, an alien divine race, or Loki from the Undercity World, an innate god who has lived for hundreds of millions of years,

Luo Cuilian found herself suddenly curious about this new method of becoming a god.

Miss Xia Shizi: "Faith? Using this method to become a god? I've always thought this was a trope found only in third-rate light novels!"

Xiao Zhizhang: "With so many worlds out there, even spirit servants wouldn't be surprising—perhaps, as many novels and biographies claim, human faith truly is an immensely powerful force."

My Little Sister Is Unbearable: "Rarely do you speak so logically."

"You've completely overturned my previous impression of you!"

Xiao Zhizhang: "......"

Xiao Zhizhang: "What do you mean by 'Xiao Zhizhang'? You're being extremely rude."

"I'm currently the regional champion! If you're not convinced, come train with me in the Society and see how well you fare."

"I've already tested it! In adjusted special battle mode, someone like me can bring Pokémon into it."

My Little Sister Is Unbearable: "!!! I sincerely apologize."

"I was wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Ban realm instantly shrank back—he remembered the Pokémon in Xiao Zhizhang's possession... If all six of Xiao Zhizhang's main Pokémon were brought out, they could likely match two Great Admirals from the One Piece world.

Xiao Zhizhang's regional championship was earned entirely through his own efforts, single-handedly defeating two champion-level Pokémon! Even among the many champions of the Pokémon League, Xiao Zhizhang's combat power remains among the top tier.

Mengqi Lage: "Speaking of which, I just remembered something."

Xiao Zhizhang: "What would Master Dorage like to say to me?"

Mengqi Lage: "You became the champion of the Kanto region, meaning you must permanently guard Kanto—in other words, you can no longer travel freely like in the memory instance."

Mengqi Lage: "You've become the Regional Champion of the Kanto region! That means you'll be required to permanently guard the Kanto region—in other words, you won't be able to travel around as you did in the memory replica."

Mengqi Lage: "I'm thinking—perhaps early on, the Xiao Zhizhang in the memory instance truly lacked strength... but later, he may have enjoyed the pleasure of traveling, which is why he kept losing in tournaments."

Mengqi Lage: "I'm thinking! At first, the Ash in the memory replica might truly have lacked strength...! But later, he may have enjoyed the joy of traveling, which is why he kept losing in competitions."

Ainz Ooal Gown: "......"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "......"

Tony Not the Richest: "Holy shit,......"

Clark Kent: "Holy shit,......"

Sakata Ginji: "Hss! This is truly chilling upon reflection."

Hei Qi Yihu: "...... Now that Dorage said that, I... I'm starting to doubt too... Xiao Zhizhang deliberately showed he lacked champion-level strength."

Hei Qi Yihu: "He did this to prevent the Pokémon League from noticing his combat power and assigning him lofty duties that would stop him from traveling freely."

Kaito Kid: "Damn! This explanation leaves absolutely no flaw."

Symbol of Peace: "Terrifying!"

Xiao Zhizhi Shu: "...... So that's it! Xiao Zhizhang seems foolish on the surface, but in truth, he's wise beyond appearances."

"I've completely changed my impression of Xiao Zhizhang!"

My Little Sister Is Unbearable: "If the Pokémon setting is like this... I can now understand many things! Though it still feels strange... but..."

My Little Sister Is Unbearable: "Comfortable. I accept this explanation."

My Sister Is Not Cute: "Comfortable. I'm willing to accept this explanation."

Xiao Zhi: ""

Although the members of the Zhidaogong Society were all mocking and joking, thinking about the contents of the Memory instance, in the end, Xiao Zhi himself began to doubt... Could it be that the reason he never won the championship was really because he was deliberately holding back? Xiao Zhi started to question his own life.
