"Because I possess divine thoughts," Tamamo no Mae said. "In present-day Japan, there are still people who worship me. Although I'm more like a subconscious mind than a deity now, as long as I exist as a transcendent being, the Abyss will always pursue me."

"According to your logic, the Abyss is the aftershock of battle. Since it's an aftershock, it's like water that's lost its source. Even if the current is strong, it can't last forever—haven't you deities predicted how long the water will erode?"
