[Su You has his hair in a low pony tail, still dressed in the white robes he arrived in. Modern clothing is...odd.

He has some clementines in front of him, one of which he's peeling.]

Does anyone know a way to summon a god? Preferably one that is beginner friendly. [He pauses, then adds.] I suppose a method for summoning spirits may be suitable as well.

[Is he going to give context? No. At least he didn't ask about summoning demons...?

He takes a piece of clementine and puts it into his mouth...then makes a face when he chews it. He looks down at the fruit as if he had been betrayed by it.]

...this is supposed to be this world's sweetest orange? Why is it so sour...?

[Did someone believe the advertisement? Maybe.]

The way you described it, it as definitely a lot more casual than what I'm used to. Sure, it might take a lot of power, but the way you talked about it, it didn't seem dangerous.

[fistoftherabbit]

...that makes sense. Cultivation in general isn't dangerous. At least, not usually to the user in normal circumstances.

[will_chase_balls]

Cultivation? What does that have to do with summoning gods?

[fistoftherabbit]

Cultivation is when you circulate the natural energies in your body to cast spells or create arrays. This includes the spell for summoning gods.

Oh, that part isn't what's dangerous. Our magic users cast spells the same way, and I've never seen any sign that it was dangerous for them. It's just that while I've heard some people claim that some gods in their world might even help humans from time to time, your world is not only the first world I've heard of where they're obligated to protect humans, your world is also the first one I've heard of where they have any obligation to not kill any human on sight who displeases them.

So not a lot of worlds other than yours really work out the best way to summon a god, because generally most people don't want to summon a god unless they're reasonably certain they'll be happy about being summoned.

Just like there's not a lot of worlds with 'summon a swarm of angry bees directly on my own face' spells, either.

[fistoftherabbit]

...it still confuses me why gods would do that. Even if they are so powerful...especially because of that, why would they need to do that? Can't they just ignore what displeases them?

[will_chase_balls]

They could, if they wanted to. Or they could wipe it out. I guess they just choose the latter.

[fistoftherabbit]

That sounds like the behaviour of immature children.

[will_chase_balls]

Sure, but they're gods, so who's going to tell them they can't act like that?

[fistoftherabbit]

...that's annoying.

[He's never even met any of these gods and he already wants to punch them in the face at least once.]
