Monk Xinyuan posed the question once again, plunging Chen Yu into silence.
There are only twenty-seven demigods worldwide; that may sound like a lot, but the number of ship-girls under Chen Yu's command isn't any less than that, and the number can still grow. As long as he finds suitable summoning materials, not only ship-girls but any existence that holds symbolic meaning, revered or remembered by people, can be summoned under the same principles.
Of course, Chen Yu couldn't reveal this directly to Monk Xinyuan. While the monk didn't seem hostile at the moment, if he knew Chen Yu could summon forces capable of opposing the entire world at will, he would surely be deeply wary.
Moreover, even if Monk Xinyuan himself wouldn't think that way, what about the people behind him?
For such a powerful figure like Monk Xinyuan—a demigod—to be sent across the ocean to inquire about matters tied to the P5, it was beyond belief for Chen Yu to think that no governmental forces were involved.
