Super Righteous Player-Chapter 1248 - 281: Melvin (Combined - 2-in-1)_3

He couldn’t be sure at first, but now he could finally confirm it.

——He had glimpsed the true nature of the Melvin family.

"So that’s how it is."

Annan took a deep breath: "The Melvins, adept in the Law of Resemblance. They create the God Child, keep it detached from the mundane world, make it resemble a god; allowing the most outstanding God Child to inherit the profession of a god among men...

"In the Idol Wizards’ discipline, the ’Law of Contagion’ causes the fate of idol wizards to converge and attract each other. The weaker idol wizards will unconsciously gravitate towards the stronger ones, and their fates will be influenced by each other.

"——This is the secret about the ’Law of Contagion’ well known to wizards.

"But the Law of Resemblance is different. Because there are not many idol wizards proficient in it, and they are mainly concentrated in the Melvin family, the knowledge of this law becomes scarce.

"However, by chance, I have read the book ’Law of Resemblance and Precognitive Dreams.’ It mentions that two idol wizards who are sufficiently similar can have their fates connected as well.

"These so-called precognitive dreams occur because they are too similar, to the extent that their dreams can interconnect. One person’s experiences and memories can flow into another’s dreams. And because of their resemblance, what one experiences, the other might experience sooner or later."

"Their spirits are linked together. It’s like two twins; if raised together, they will become more in tune with each other. If they get along well enough, they might even speak in unison, or understand what the other wants without speaking. If one gets hurt, the other can sense it."

"But if their living environments differ, then this linkage of spirits will be severed. Because they are no longer similar — the divergence of their lives ends that resemblance."

"I thought at that time... If an Idol Wizard who holds the Law of Resemblance can link their spirit. Then what about the Melvin family?

"I had such suspicions at the time. But those Melvins who left Winter just seemed so normal... This made my suspicions baseless."

"Now I have finally arrived at the Melvin family’s residence and witnessed all this."

Annan sighed: "Can you tell me about it?

"——Lord ’God Among Men’?"

"Of course."

Just then, an elderly Melvin beside Annan replied: "With pleasure."

"Your elder... are you ’God Among Men’?"

Annan raised an eyebrow.

"No."

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl answered: "I can also be ’God Among Men’."

"We are all ’God Among Men’."

"We are all ’God Among Men’."

The echoing voices rose and fell.

"Then, what about the one from the Gold rank?"

Annan asked: "’God Among Men’ isn’t it a profession?"

"God Among Men — where do gods come from?"

One Melvin countered.

"We who yearn for the blood of the God Child, possess our own divinity."

Another Melvin answered.

"If needed, we can all become ’Gods Among Men’."

"But until ’God Among Men’ manifests, it resides in everyone."

"Why have you never seen ’God Among Men’?"

"Why can’t the Melvins remember the one who inherited the ’God Among Men’?"

"Because it doesn’t always exist."

"Because it can’t always be remembered."

"Because it is our collective fantasy."

"It only exists in this place."

"It appears at the right moment."

"You shouldn’t have come."

At this point, the truth became clear.

The so-called "God Among Men"... is not about a specific individual.

It is a spirit, a collective will.

An incorporeal deity entwined with this land, existing for who knows how long—a "Collective Will" generated by the synchronized Melvin family.

The process of "inheriting the profession" is to have the clanspeople share the "blood of the God Child."

Afterward, he/she can provide new strength to the "God Among Men."

That is not an inheritor, but a sacrifice.

This explains why the Melvin family needs so many death chrysalises and living corpses...

Not to pilot humanoid Gundams.

But to provide the "best body" for "God Among Men" to use when manifesting.

This "God Among Men"—

——Its name is, [Melvin].
