Chapter 10
“What is that...?”
“It’s the sea!”
“That’s the sea?”
Before her eyes, the deep blue sea, which could be called the largest and deepest among the things humans could see, was spread out.
“That’s right, sister. We’re going to the navy’s departure ceremony today. Didn’t the Countess tell you yesterday?”
“The sea... I... Ugh!”
Liv couldn’t continue her words and retched. It felt like the gods’ pressure was crushing her and her body shape was oddly changing, and it felt like space-time would distort at any moment.
In this world, there were a few places where the power of the gods became stronger. People called those places ‘sacred grounds.’
In sacred grounds, the power of the Holy Church’s god could become stronger, the power of Lufahidism’s god could become stronger, or the power of multiple gods could become stronger simultaneously. However, each religion believed that only the power of the god they believed in became stronger.
Since sacred grounds usually had bizarre shapes that ordinary humans couldn’t understand, people easily noticed where they were and typically prohibited entry to those places.
However, there was one sacred ground that people didn’t know about.
It was none other than the sea. The sea itself was a vast sacred ground and a place where the power of all gods intensified.
