(He listens to Zhongli. His first answer results in Claude's expression shaping his mouth into a thin line,)
I've always hated praying to gods. As far as I'm concerned, you can only rely on yourself. Putting your fate in the hands of a god won't help you win a war or improve your life. Only tangible things and real actions can do that. The side with the better weapons, the one with the better tactics, or the most troops... The decisions you make and the things you do are the only things that will change a situation.
Why put all of our faith in a single, great god? Or a few divine beings? When you can believe in yourself and people and have unlimited greatness?
(There was never a god that listened to the desperate prayers of a lonely boy. Not a goddess that reached out to help a child fighting for his life. He's gotten this far because of his own merit. )
