"Pope… Pope, are you suggesting that we eat it?"
A Cardinal stared at Marvin in shock. He had thought of countless ways to deal with the enormous hand, but eating it had never crossed his mind.
"This is bait. Do you know what bait is?"
With his hands behind his back, Marvin spoke in a calm tone. "To supernatural beings, bait is an irresistible temptation. By devouring enough of it, they can transform into Ancient Gods."
"Just like the silver melon seeds produced in Ailan?"
The crowd began to understand. Many were hearing about 'bait' for the first time, but its essence was easy to grasp.
The fundamental difference between Ancient Gods and Faith Gods lies in this: Faith Gods require belief from humans to grow stronger, while Ancient Gods rely on devouring one another.
The root of this difference originates from the spirituality left behind by the creator.
