I, The Dragon Overlord-Chapter 459: Faith and Reputation

“What is that?”

When the divine figure of Amaterasu Omikami appeared in the mountains of Los Angeles, there were gasps of surprise within the Pentagon.

The President of the United States stared at the female figure that appeared on the screen as it emanate warmth and light from her body.

“Is.. is this what the Japanese said that could help solve the crisis?”

The President felt incredulous. He did not expect that Japan had really summoned a divine incarnation and appeared in Los Angeles at the critical moment.

“Mr. President, the information from Japan has been received. This god who appeared in Los Angles should be the Shinto deity, the most important Shinto deity, Amaterasu OMikami.”

“According to the hierarchy of the gods in Shintoism, Amaterasu Omikami is equivalent to the supreme god of Japan. From our calculations, the supreme god of Japan appeared in less than a millisecond when it disappeared from Japan. Moreover, we have detected mysterious changes in the sun’s photons. We suspect that this god possesses the ability to travel at will with the help of the sun’s light.”

An intelligence officer rushed forward to explain.

“The supreme god of Shintoism? Is it the same kind of god as Jesus and the God Taiyi who appeared in China?”

The president asked curiously.

“This… this is something that we can’t really tell. Who among the gods is stronger is hard to tell with the contradictions and paradoxes in Eastern and Western mythology. I’m afraid this is beyond our ability to understand at the moment.”

The religious scholar who had been on standby hesitated and shook his head, “As a follower of Christ, it’s a little bad to put it this way, but I can only explain it like so:”

“In Christianity, it is God who created the world and mankind. On the other hand, Chinese mythology states that it was Pan Go who opened up the sky and created Earth, and then Nuwa created man. Who do you think is correct between the two myths? Now that characters from both myths have appeared, it is even more difficult to understand.”

“The trinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit makes the present Christ fully equivalent to God. In Chinese mythology, it is said that the God Taiyi who could also be Fuxi is the supreme god. As a result, there is always a similarity between Eastern and Western cultures and that a god may occupy many important divine positions.”

Suddenly someone spoke out, “Perhaps… Perhaps the struggle between the two divine systems is to fight for who is exactly orthodox?”

This made the religious scholar clap his hands in excitement, “Your point is very good. From the appearance of many gods today, we can see one thing, and that is that they have great regard for the faith. Then why are the gods fighting for faith? With the gods’ power, they should not need mortals.”

“But if these gods are competing for faith to decide who is orthodox, it could explain the division.”

The religious scholar hurriedly wrote his thoughts down in his notebook. In order to be famous in certain fields, it was necessary to keep sending these. Nowadays, the hottest and most popular topics were on religion and the occult.

“We don’t need to pay any mind to these things about the gods for now. We still have to prioritize the safety of Los Angeles and the people there… Is this god named Amaterasu female? Although it is covered in a layer of light and only has a blurry form, I can tell that it's truly beautiful.”

The President of the United States of America touched his head with his hand and commented on the supreme god of Japan.

Because the image of Amaterasu came from a video relay, the awe-inspiring divine power of Amaterasu’s figure dropped a few notches, allowing him to speak such words that contain a hint of blasphemy.

“Please stop talking nonsense, Mr. President! You must never tweet those words. I will cause great protest from Japan as it’s equivalent to blasphemy.”

A person who studied Japanese culture quickly tried to stop the president’s nonsense. He knew that the president might look old, but he had a young and beautiful wife. In other words, he was old and unashamed.

“... There are also many otakus there in Japan. It may not take long before Amaterasu becomes sexualized by them. If they blaspheme the great goddess like that, it is likely that the dregs of the Heisei will also become Showa boys.”

At first glance, this scholar seemed to be knowledgeable about Japanese culture. His words might sound logical in the beginning, but the words after were simply puzzling.

But the scholar had indeed guessed it right. The appearance of Amaterasu did not make the Japanese - especially the young Japanese - feel any great awe. But instead, with the fact that Amaterasu was a woman and her beauty was beyond mortal imagination, 2D and 3D works began to spring up all over the internet.

As a result of this, the otakus spontaneously embraced the idea of Amaterasu. The devotion from each person’s faith startled even Louie. This gave Louie the idea of using all the images of the goddesses in the world of San Soliel in the future, using their images to cheat some faith.

……

The city of Los Angeles was currently in complete chaos with three million residents fleeing rapidly with the help of the American army.

It was not until the appearance of Amaterasu Omikami that the people stopped for a while. Unlike the president of the United States, the people of Los Angeles at the scene were able to feel the awe-inspiring divine power emanating from the goddess. They did not dare utter any blasphemy and kept their voices low. Some even began to envision the god fighting against Typhon.

“Evil demon!”

When Amaterasu appeared in front of Typhon, a clear voice came from her glittering figure, a voice that Louie also copied from the Goddess of Morning that carried righteousness and awe-inspiring valor.

“Roar!!! God of foreign lands, you dare stop me here!!!”

Typhon’s head which was made up of hundreds of snakes finally let out its first voice. Its voice contained evil and rage.

Of course, Louie would not make the mistake of speaking in any language on Earth. As a true god, Louie could easily create a language without any mysteries. The language that Amaterasu spoke was a language that Louie invented on the spot by combining Chinese, Japanese, and the language of the gods of the world of San Soliel. The words allowed people to understand the gist of things, but they would always feel doubtful and inexplicable, leaving them unsure.

“That monster can actually talk.”

“I thought that it was just an irrational beast.”

The people in the city of Los Angeles could clearly hear the words of this king of demons. People began a discussion while others lowered their heads with pale faces and dry heaves. This was because the language that Typhon used was a combination of the Abyssal language, resulting in mortals feeling physical pain and discomfort after hearing it. 24062

“Hahahahaha!! Even Zeus was once drawn and quartered by me. Even Apollo was driven scurrying away from me! O God of the foreign land, you are a god related to the sun, right? Let me extinguish your sun here! Let me bring you to the underworld and pollute you. You shall give birth to my heirs that will destroy these humans!”

Typhon laughed wildly. As it laughed, volcanoes began to spew out more lava and the ground shook.
