[Red's POV]
"What the hell is this?"
"1..2..3..4..5..9?? 9 Passive??"
I figured that I had gotten a little stronger from the training and battles I had, but I have never expected the result to be this good.
[This...is unusual. Even the mightiest warriors take at least a few years to be at this level.]
"Blueee!!! Did you do something again????"
[*I have no control over your stats growth Master. Whatever is shown there is by your effort.*]
"How is that ev__"
[Forget it. Thou body is weird.]
I was genuinely surprised. I knew that I mimicked the Sword Dance of the Sword Saint, but I never expected to be able to register it as my own skill. Even the Moon-Styled Swordsmanship is available to me to use. Though the Passive [Heavenly Demonic Mastery] did not increase as I have no recollection of any of that skill, I didn't think [Moon-Styled Swordsmanship] would Level 3. It felt as if I had stolen the Sword Saint's hard work.
There was another skill that felt even weirder.
It was filled with Symbols and the Level had a (Locked) beside it.
[That would be the skill I tried bestowing thou but failed.]
"Hmm."
That wasn't just where the surprise ended. In the bottom left of my screen, the message section had a bunch of new notifications. Before pressing the button, suddenly I felt weird. As if my entire being is telling me not to press that button.
[*Master. I STRONGLY encourage you to see the new notification. :)*]
At that point, even Blue is scaring me.
It felt worrying to press that button.
White seeing how nervous I was, slithered right to my neck and wrapped herself around me, acting like a headrest.
"OK, here we go."
With a shaky hand and a strengthened resolve, I proceed forward and clicked on the icon.
-Tink!!
[*You have a new message*]
[Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto]:
[*Good Evening, the magic your subordinate used is so interesting!*]
"Huh?"
Looking at the interface, there seemed to be some more chat below.
Tapping on that button would turn out to be the biggest mistake in my life.

Group Chat: The Shinto Gods
[Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto]: [*HeyHo everyone!!!*]
[Omoikane]: [*Oh. This is certainly new.*]
[Susanoo-no-Mikoto]: [*What sorcery is this?*]
[Takemikazuchi]: [*Omoikane? How long has it been since you came out from your studies?*]
[Takeminakata]: [*You Bastard, Takemikazuchi. When can I leave this place?*]
[Inari Okami]: [*...*]
[Takemikazuchi]: [*Loser stays quiet. O-Inari! You're here too!!*]
[Amaterasu Omikami]: [*Oh, Uzume. It works.*]
[Omoikane]: [*Fascinating...This works the same as Human's So-called technology...*]
[Susanoo-no-Mikoto]: [*What sorcery is this??*]
[Izanagi-no-Mikoto]: [*HOHOHO, this is something you don't see every day.*]
[Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto]: [*I'm going to change the group name~.*]
Group chat: Amaterasu and her lackeys (Changed)
[Izanami-no-Mikoto]: Reply to [Izanagi-no-Mikoto]:
[*Here's another thing you don't see everyday...*]
[Amaterasu Omikami]: [*Uzume!! How dare you!!*]
Group chat: Shinto Kami (Changed)
[Susanoo-no-Mikoto]: [What Sorcery is _____]
**
What the hell is this?
I tried to stare daggers at Blue to see what the hell she did. But she didn't have a physical form I could look at and be mad at.
Then someone tagged me in the chat.
[Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto]: [*Hey little Red, come and Introduce yourself and grabbed the staff so we can see you.*]
[Inari Okami]: [*Uzume, please behave like a God.*]
[Susanoo-no-Mikoto]: [*What sorcery is this??*]
[Hachiman]: [*Someone please stop Susanoo.*]
With a heavy migraine overwhelming my head, I turn to one side and asked my savior.
"Ryong. What the hell is this?"
[...]
[Thou have bad luck.]
"What kind of stupid as___"
[Omoikane]: [*Hoh a mortal created this? Do indulge me in the method for this magical communication.*]
[Susanoo-no-Mikoto]: [*What Sorcery is this??*]
[All God]: [*Shut Up Susanoo.*]
I summoned Combo-Maker right after that sentence, afraid that I would anger the gods, and sat down while still in the plan, trying not to look suspicious.
The literal gods were in a group Chat and there were a couple of their Champions here on the plane. Who knows what these gods are gonna do ordering them?
[Ama-Tsu-Mara]: [*Hey Uzume, isn't that the staff you requested from me? Wasn't it supposed to be with your so-called Champions?*]
[Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto]: [*Oh yea, he stole it from one of my Champions so I lent it to him.*]
[Amaterasu Omikami]: [*Uzume.*]
[Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto]: [*Yes!*]
[Amaterasu Omikami]: [*I understand it's interesting but don't play too hard.*]
[Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto]: [*I understood.*]
Looks like even Uzume-sama would get scolded time to time.
[Takemikazuchi]: [*So this is the child who brought us together.*]
Takemikazuchi-Sama was the first to notice me after I held the weapon.
[Hachiman]: [*I managed to see the Nine-Tailed-Fox's battle with the lad. It was rather impressive. Maybe we should go a few rounds together...*]
[Okuninushi]: [*Stop it, you might kill him. Even my protective magic can't withstand all your attacks*]
Jesus, the gods keep piling on.
[Amaterasu Omikami]: [*Child, for your help to protect our land and also a way to let the gods communicate with one another. I wish to award you for your bravery and contributions. Now choose, what would you like in return.*]
As Amaterasu-sama spoke, all the other gods remained silent, knowing the severity of what she was saying.
"I wa___"
Before I could even mutter the first letter of what I wanted. Someone replied in the group chat. It was Blue.
[Blue]: [*Please. Allow me to choose what is most beneficial to my master*]
[Takemikazuchi]: [*Oh. A loyal subordinate. I like this one.*]
"Hey Wai___"
Before I could stop her, she closed the chat box and disappeared along with the communication feature.
"..."
[...]
"Ryong."
[Yes?]
"Sort her out please."
[Impossible.]
And with that, I returned to my little Red dot home.
