Power Of Faith

Takuya doesn't know what happened just now, he felt that his whole body was aching.

He also felt that he was laying on the ground right now.

The moment Takuya woke up, Yukina also woke up at exactly the same time. It might seem like a coincidence, but it wasn't.

When they both came to their senses, they heard a silky voice of a woman.

"As expected, you both woke at the same time. Interesting."

As they both were lying there, when they opened their eyes, they saw a white sky, devoid of any blue color, as if there was no ozone layer in the sky.

But since they could breathe, there was definitely air for them to breathe here.

They stood up and looked at each other. Takuya sighed with relief when he saw that she was fine. Similar to him, she also felt relief after seeing him.

He looked around and saw that Daiki, Tenka, and Aoi were present here, they were still unconscious though.

Finally, he looked towards the place from where the voice came.

There was a throne, not far from them. It seemed like it was made of pure diamonds or something similar.

There was a woman sitting on it, her hair was golden in color, and she was wearing a white robe.

When his eyes landed on her, he got stunned at her beauty.

If it was only a comparison of face beauty, then he could say both Yukina and she were at the same level. But if it was a comparison of body, then Yukina still needed more development to reach there.

This woman was just too perfect in everything. As if she was a goddess. Maybe she was.

He eventually removed his eyes from her, although reluctantly. He should be happy that he did so because instead of looking at the woman, Yukina was looking at him, and her eyes were quite dangerous right now.

"...Hehehe, you did quite a good job by removing your eyes from me, or you wouldn't know how much pain you would have felt in few moments."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to see you that long."

"Don't worry, I am not the one angry at you, but—"

"Who are you?"

Before she could finish, Yukina interrupted her.

"Oh my....Look at my manners, I didn't introduce myself. My name is Elysia, although it's been quite long since anyone used it, as people usually call me Goddess."

When Takuya heard that, his doubts got cleared. With how many novels and how much he had wished for this to happen, he immediately understood what had happened to them.

They were summoned by the goddess of another world. But what were the chances that the fantasy world wasn't fantasy but reality? Almost zero. But since they were here, it wasn't zero now.

Maybe these stories weren't just assumptions of human fantasy but a reality that came to their minds in the shape of fantasy due to higher powers' interference.

He doesn't know what the truth was, but he knew that his wish might have gotten fulfilled. And since Yukina was also here, he was more than happy to go to this new world.

The only thing that made him worried was his parents. How would they react to this?

Yukina looked towards the woman who had announced herself as a goddess. She looked skeptical about it.

"Can't believe me? Hehehe... You don't have to because eventually, you will. Let's wait for your friends to become conscious, as I think it's about time for them to wake up."

Truly, after 30 seconds, Aoi woke up first. When she came to her senses, she got stunned. As she was about to speak, Takuya stopped her by gesturing to her.

She sulked but still didn't say anything and looked around curiously. And when she saw the woman sitting on the chair, she got stunned again.

Eventually, after only 2 seconds later than Aoi, Daiki woke up too, followed by Tenka 20 seconds later.

Their eyes widened even more when they saw the woman on the chair. They were all teenagers, and that woman was the dream fantasy of every teenager.

"Good. Since you all woke up, let me tell you the reason why you all are here."

She waved her hand, and a globe appeared above their heads.

It was a globe of the world she ruled.

It looked similar to Earth, but the continents were quite different.

"This is the world which is under my rule, but I don't know how long it will be."

She twirled her one finger, and 80 percent of the land on the planet was covered in darkness.

"You see this miasma? This covers almost 80 percent of the land on this planet. The reason is that demons have taken 80 percent of the land.

Only 20 percent is left for humans in this world.

The reason why demons are still not able to capture this 20 percent is because of my symbolic pillar, which creates a barrier that demons can't enter.

But this is also not a long-term solution for this world. It is because the pillar is powered by the power of faith people have towards me. My pillar just converts that faith into power that protects them.

Gods are not allowed to interfere in the worlds they rule directly using their own strength. It's a universal law that cannot be broken.

So, the only way they can interfere is to collect faith from people and convert that faith into power to use it for themselves or for the people of that world.

Now that only 20 percent of the area is left, which only consists of the main cities in this world, the population of people has also declined due to multiple genocides that demons have caused.

Because of this, the power of faith has declined for me. I can only use all that power to protect them.

Power of Faith is an important resource for gods to increase their strength, and since I am not getting any faith, I will be stuck at this realm. But that's not the main issue.

The real issue is that the power of faith is declining further. You might say, why not have kingdoms increase their birth rates to increase their population so that power of faith increases? Because power of faith doesn't work like that. True I will get some more power of Faith if population increases but quality also matters.

Power Faith also depends on the level of a person who has faith in me.

A person at level 100 will give 10,000 times more faith energy than a person at level 1. So it's not the population that matters, it's the strength of the people.

The strength of the people in this world depends upon the class they are born with.

There are various classes, but only battle-type classes are considered the best because only they can kill the demons to increase their levels.

You guys are from Earth. You might already understand what levels are, so I won't explain much. You will get everything you want to know when you arrive in this world.

So, let me explain the most important factor and the reason why I have called you here.

As I said before, classes will become the real foundation of your strength. You might think that classes are assigned randomly, and it is true somehow, but there's one factor that affects it.

The strength of your souls. It's the most important factor in deciding your class.

If your soul is strong, you will definitely get a strong and useful class. And if the strength of your soul is weak, then you will definitely get weak classes that are helpful in normal work.

The reason the power of faith is declining in this kingdom is also because souls of people in this world are getting weaker. The reason why their souls are getting weak is this miasma which cocers 80 percent of the world.

My barrier can protect them from demons and can also filter most of the miasma, but removing all the miasma is not possible with this level of barrier. I need more faith power for that, which we don't have.

Since their souls are getting weaker, the newborns are getting weaker classes, which eventually leads to a decrease in faith power.

And this is the real issue of this world, as in the long run, there won't be enough faith power left, and this world will be doomed.

Right now, there are only a few warriors left in this whole world. There are strong ones left, but they are not enough to go against this many demons.

Recently, though, a girl was born in Aeltharys Empire, which is the main empire of this world where my pillar is situated. She had become my hope, as her soul was strong and she awakend SSS grade class.

Although she will definitely be able to kill demon kings when she reaches their level, there are already hundreds of demon kings born in this world.

She can fight five or six alone, but what if they all ganged up on her? It would be her end.

That's why this time, I decided to bring other people from a different world where there is no effect of miasma, and the world's souls are usually strong but are almost useless as there is no mana in those worlds.

The mortal worlds, just like your Earth.

I chose you because I have some connections with your ruler. I asked him for three strong souls, but he sent me five as an apology for delaying.

That's right, it's you guys.

He told me I would be surprised by two people, and to tell the truth, I was.

Because two of you guys have souls even stronger than the girl whom I had talked about. And you know what the best part is? They're resonant souls.

It means that two souls are connected in perfect harmony with each other. It happens very rarely.

Since you guys haven't come in contact with mana, you are not able to feel it, but once you reach this world and receive your status panel, you will see it.

Who those two are? You guys will find out eventually, so let's not bring that up.

Also, since you guys have resonating souls, even I don't know which class you guys will receive, but it will definitely be a good one.
