Witch, Fireball and the Evil God of Steam-Chapter 883 - 177: Mary, I Will Definitely Come to See You

"What do you mean the God of Truth exploded?"

Ave couldn't help but raise her voice, and the tuft of golden hair atop her head, spinning like a propeller, suddenly stopped, as she, along with Ethan, cast a suspicious glance in his direction.

At the same time, she used the feather pen in her hand to cast a simple spell.

Fortunately, the magic from the God of Truth's faction hadn't disappeared just because their deity "exploded."

"It's said to be a virus infection."

"It's said?"

Ave raised an eyebrow, "What virus?"

"The Hakimi virus."

"Where's your black cat? Call her over."

Ave saw through it all at once, pinpointing the culprit, mainly because the black cat had been singing non-stop every day since returning from the shelter, causing many around her to be led astray.

"Little Dark, she..."

"It was all Senzi's doing!"

The black cat, who was supposed to be resting at home, suddenly poked her head out of the shadows, betraying Ethan and becoming Ave's star witness. She still bore a grudge against Ethan for his decision to blow up the God of Truth's information repository. She had seen its potential and believed that with a little adjustment, she could establish a great Hakimi sect within the empire based on the God of Truth's template.

This sulk was going to last at least three days.

The black cat glared at Ethan and made a face at him.

Ethan looked worried; it seemed Little Dark had hit a rebellious phase. He initially wanted to keep the Hakimi virus incident a secret from Lindong, but at this rate, it wouldn't be long before his actions in opposing the God of Truth became widely known.

Ave crossed her fingers under her chin, leaned forward, and narrowed her eyes slightly as she moved closer to Ethan, waiting for his explanation.

"Actually, this is what happened..."

Ethan sighed deeply and rewound time to a day earlier.

...

"I didn't expect there to be such a backstory."

Upon hearing Ethan's complete account, Ave was reflective. It turned out that the True God they had always worshipped was actually a probe sent by an alien civilization to this world. Ethan had discovered the truth about their "special plane" in the God of Truth's information repository.

"Senzi, what do you think?"

Influenced by Little Dark, even Ave changed the way she addressed Ethan, saying that calling him "Senzi" sounded more intimate and catchy, with the added bonus of highlighting Ethan's youth, "Regarding the information the God of Truth revealed to you before exploding."

You could hear a bit of Ave's teeth grinding when she mentioned "exploding."

The amount of information contained in Ethan's story was overwhelming. The God of Truth had laid out the relationships between the Old Gods and many benevolent civilizations, and according to the knowledge in the information repository, the Divine Kingdom they were in possessed technology capable of artificially creating a "True God," which was unimaginable in a place where even the promotion path of a Saint was not yet fully clear.

Ave had to admit that in terms of civilization level, the Divine Kingdom was several tiers above the current empire.

During the time Ethan and the others were away, her father collaborated with the Artisan Association to initiate research on the ancient technology contained within the Golden Fleet, but progress was discouraging. With their current capabilities, they were far from achieving stellar-level warp and travel.

The survivors from the shelter could only provide some theoretical support; in reality, they didn't possess the technology to build spacecraft.

"If a being emerged from the depths of the universe who could instantly grasp the exact position and momentum of every particle in the universe and fully master all natural laws, they could calculate the state of these particles at any time in the past or future, thus determining the universe's past and future completely."

Ave underlined this sentence.

Although the God of Truth was their enemy, the intelligence she revealed was highly credible. This was likely the result of many research efforts by the researchers in the Divine Kingdom over countless epochs, where the ruler of that mysterious land was the most likely to achieve "omniscience and omnipotence" in the true sense. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

She flipped to the earlier pages of the book titled "Imperial Truth."

"Do you remember the time in the triple dream when you encountered the Master of Demons, Sincaro? Don't you think the space he occupied resembled the God of Truth's information repository somewhat?"

Ave carefully compared Ethan's descriptions of the two, and in her view, Sincaro's library seemed like a dark and esoteric version of the God of Truth's library.

And from Sincaro's few words, it wasn't hard to deduce that the ancestors known to him and the other Old Gods weren't Ethan. They had descended upon this plane after hearing the ancestors' call.

The God of Truth provided an additional explanation for the summoning ritual.

They created the Goddess of Life, Bazarian, whose full name was Bazarian-7, using genes and bloodlines from the Kania civilization.

The believers of the Goddess of Life had numerous discussions about the origins of the True God and Middle-Level God. The most mainstream view now was that they descended from the heavens to save humanity and dispel darkness, which coincided with the God of Truth's narrative.

"Descended from the heavens" and "born from a nutrient pod."

This was the explanation of the same event by mysticism and science.

"Perhaps the ancestors mentioned by the Master of Demons in the library actually refer to the rulers of the Divine Kingdom."

The Divine Kingdom used creations born in the laboratory, capturing the attention of the Old Gods, and the good news was that Ethan happened to know a few Old Gods from whom he could inquire for some information.
