I believe so because I think I remember a line saying something like gods exist because humans believe in them, thus they will continue to exist even if they are "killed". In a sense human's created them in the case of this light novel(thus the birth of their soul). Their personality is probably from the author's creativity, i don't think it really derives from anything within the story.

Let say for instant there a guy who spread a myth about a god, that is good in the day and turn evil at night, words goes around and one day puff the magic drag no no no god i meant appear with the same personality as in the myth that how gods is made in the Campione! world.

Are there any gods in the novels that comes from judeo-christian lore? Or is it only derived from asia and greek mythology?

Spoiler for Christian Figures:

Saint Nicholas was in vol 12, does that count?

Don't worry, read through it you won't regret it. There are some summaries on Jcafe24(forgot how many of the volumes are on there though) if you really insist on reading summaries. Find the campione section there, get an account, make one post in order to view them

On another note..I've noticed that the anime mentioned princess Alice. Will she get her parts in later volumes?

Spoiler for ...:

Well, all Campione will instinctively fight with God, and God by nature will fight against God-Slayer. It is especially noted that the Last King is the God-Slayer Slayer.

Spoiler for Heretic God from Bible:

Yes, the first heretic God that ALec defeated was an archangel that possess authority over light.

Spoiler for The Last King:

It is explained in the novel 10 that there are 3 requirements to create a Heretic God:
a)the story/ the legend of the God
b)the people that believe in the said legend
c) the leyline or the land with power to give birth to the said Heretic God
so the Last King, which is the base of King Arthur comes when his story is about another God(let's say version a), but then times goes on, the story becomes corrupted to become the King Arthur that we knows(let say it is version b).
The Last King now is still a personification of the God in version a, but if the last king now died and rebirth again in the future, he will be the King Arthur that we know.
In the case Fate/Stay Night become so mainstream that people start to worship Saber, the next King Arthur will be the Arturia Pendragon we know from the Fate Route ^^.

And there is a theory that Aeneas is the Last King in this board. Do you have any evidence on that?
It would be interesting to compare all theory about the identity of the Last King.

Thank you, now i have something to look foward to.

[zzhk]

Well, there's only summaries for Volumes 1-4 and 11.
12 volumes are published so far.

Personally, I think you're better off reading maybe the first two volumes of the translated novel to see if you like the feel. The story only gets better and better.

Volumes 3 and 11 are prequels so the chronological order is 3,11,1,2,4,5...etc.
However, I still recommend reading them in publication order.

Read the novels instead of summaries, if they are available. Or else, there'd be no point of doing them entirely.

Spoiler for Campione Slayer:

Anyone think that the slayer could somehow be Gilgamesh? He was a King and also had divine blood in him being a demi-god and all that.

Spoiler for reply:

Impossible to say, but I like this theory. Its plausible.

Spoiler for reply:

I just randomly thought of it. Also if it's related to King Arthur then another possibilty would be that Excalibur, Caliburn, etc. at one point had been in Gilgamesh's treasure vault.

Spoiler for Caliburn/Excaliber origin:

It depends on which version, one says Excalibur was given to Arthur by the Lady of the Lake and another Excalibur is the same as Caliburn.

Either way, how the talk shifted from King Arthur to Gilgamesh really reminds me of F/Z and F/SN, it hasn't been that long since F/Z ended

Volume 3 Chapter 6 is done! Well I really enjoyed the fight, did anyone else? I also liked how Godou tricked Melqart and the last part with Erica giving Godou the lap pillow. Thanks for the hard work zzhk.

[Kleeyook]

Thanks zzhk! Your translation speed is really magnificent! It took me a lot of time ust to translate the summary of Seikoku no Ryuukishi from Thai to English but you did put the whole chapter in a day.

[ReaperxKingx]

It is almost over, all that is left is the after story. Looking forward to vol 4, but I don't think zzhk is doing it.

If a campione defeats another campione, Does the winner acquire the powers of the loser? If a campione or human becomes a legend and people believe in it, could that person become a god? Lucretia Zola should join the harem. She is a mature female with lots of experience in life and could help & have fun with godou.

It more like a duel, you can only get power when you kill a God. A Campione can be remembered, but it will not make the Campione a God. Lucretia Zola is over 70 years old, so I rather not especially since there is some History with Godou's Grandfather and her. Must have been a reason why Ichirou's wife made him promise to never meet that women again.

Also, these are some weird questions. Have you read the Light Novel?

Spoiler for The Last King:

For the Gilgamesh Theory, I don't think it is plausible, since the Last King should have 3 criteria from all the hint and observation:
a) He is a God that in the legend, will come back to life at the end of the world (Messianic prototype)
b) He is a God that had some connection with Steel, example a warrior using sword or invulnerable body.
c)He is a God that comes from a very old legend, since it is a legend that will become King Arthur (it is plausible to set it to at least 1000 years ago, since Lancelot has manifested for around 800 years).

I cast doubt about Gilgamesh is because he clearly doesn't satisfy a). Actually, it is arguable that Gilgamesh doesn't satisfy b) because he is not associated with sword or invulnerable body. And before someone answering about Gate of Babylon etc, i believe that the author won't pull that or risk being said to plagiarise FSN.
