BXBX NOVEL Chapter 654 The Truth and Domination.
Chapter 654 The Truth and Domination.
Here in the Transcendence Era, there are no traces of True Gods that remained, and those that could possibly exist were all destroyed by the Monarchs too.
Books, scriptures, arts, and other important documents related to the True Gods have been razed and scattered to the void already, and those that were impossible to destroy were hidden on secret locations.
With this kind of intense clean-up, any object that pertains to the existence of the True Gods should not have existed. And the Monarchs would most likely want to stay it that way.
*************
When Alina and her companions first read this part of the history, all of them agreed with the decision of the Monarchs.
After all, even though the True Gods gave support and care for their followers, their existence seems to be geared on inducing chaos in this world.
They do what they want and they kill those who they do not like, qualities that are in no way benevolent or useful for the Multiverse.
With such kind of behavior, there is no way that the True Gods will be allowed to exist today.
Alina was even relieved that she did not live during the Primordial and the Chaotic Age, as that will be a really messed-up time for her.
But today, Alina was not sure if she will be happy about the history records that she just read. She was not even sure if these records were right.
Because here in their new world, Alina and her companions saw evidences that contradict the supposed ’end of the True Gods’!
"Alex, when that Leech King entered the ancestral house of the old man, it saw a statue of a True God. That True God... was the True God of Knowledge Elwon." Alina, whose pale face looked worse against the rocky background behind her, said these words with a sense of dread.
She seemed to be pretty unsettled by what she saw, and she did not intend to hide it from Alex at all.
"Alex, you can’t deny what that statue is. So explain to me... how can a statue of a True God exist there?" Alina added as she mimed a grabbing motion towards Alex. "That statue should have been destroyed already!"
"....Alina, I don’t know how to explain it too. But-"
"And that’s not the only thing that the Leech King witnessed! Alex, that old man and his clansmen were f**king worshipping that statue! They were treating it like a real God!" Alina almost shouted out, but she fortunately held her voice in. "Alex, is there any explanations for that scene? Come on, explain it to me."
"..."
There is no way that Alina can stay calm after the things that the Leech King just showed to her.
The old man that attacked them earlier was actually worshipping a statue of True God Elwon? That scene alone was enough to make Alina shiver!
But this is not the worst thing that Alina could think from this seeing this scene.
What if... this scene of worship actually alludes to the fact that the True God of Knowledge Elwon was alive? Maybe that could explain the advanced level of technology and the bomb that the old man used earlier...
"..."
If this True God Elwon was actually alive, then it will be an extremely bad news for Alina and her allies.
After all, there is no way that they can deal with a living True God, not even with their current abilities!
"Well, um... I saw it too Alina. So I guess it really happened." Alex seemed to be as worried as Alina too, but he appeared to be trying his best to look nonchalant. "But maybe what they were worshipping is just an empty hunk of stone. Maybe-"
"Since you saw that Alex, then you know what we saw means. It means that in one way or another, some traces of True Gods still existed in this world!" Alina did not let Alex continue his attempted explanation as she gave her own opinion. "Come on, say that I am wrong!"
"...."
"...."
"...."
Seeing that Alex was rendered silent, Alina knew that her guess was indeed right.
They indeed saw a scene related to a True God’s existence, something that Alina had never expected to see in her whole life.
This discovery was enough to make Alina think of ways to run away, but she knew that since they are in this world, there is no way for her to run away.
The best that she can do now was to face the problem, although she was not sure if she can get through this...
"Alex, I don’t know if these True Gods are still alive or not, but the fact that a statue of a True God was here means that something fishy is indeed happening." Alina morosely said as she let out a sigh. "As for what is ’exactly happening’, the current us have no way of knowing..."
"...."
Behind Alina and Alex, their two companions Queen Mother and Professor Frances did not say anything at all, although the reactions that they had mirrored the same surprise that Alina has right now.
Seeing their looks made Alina feel a little unsettled, but that did not prevent her from expounding her ideas.
In fact, the worried looks on her allies’ face gave Alina a burst of courage, as she realized that things were actually not bad at all.
Even if there is a True God statue in this world, that does not mean that everything is already f**ked up!
"Alex, even if there are traces of these True Gods in this world. Maybe there are not alive at all. Maybe what we are seeing here are just artifacts from True Gods. Yes, that might be the case! The True Gods are really not alive and what we saw here were just their remnants..."
At this point, Alina tried to make herself sound upbeat, as she knew that succumbing to negativity will not help their matters at all.
"So Alex, I don’t think we should be worried here. Our situation might not be that bad at all..."
If the True Gods were indeed alive and hiding in this world, Alina knew that it will be game over for them. But would the Endless Monarchs really send them in this world if he knew that the True Gods were alive?
No, the Endless Monarch would not do that.
Alina knew that even if the Endless Monarch was a trigger-happy being that will not hesitate to send Travelers on dangerous places, sending people on a living True God will be too much even for him.
There must be some other reason that Alina and Alex were sent here, and it won’t be about dealing with living True Gods.
At most, their mission in this world will be related to the artifacts about these True Gods....
***********
"...You are right Alina. Maybe the True Gods were already dead. If they were really alive, then they should have done something to attack us." Alina’s latest words appeared to have improved Alex’s mood a little, as the man himself regained the initiate to talk again.
Alex was even grinning at this point, a sight that made Alina feel relieved. "Heck, my Conqueror’s Aura would probably able to detect them too. But since I detected no one watching me, those True Gods must not be alive at all!"
"Yes Alex, since you can’t detect their observations, it must mean that the True Gods are dead." The sight of her relieved companion made Alina’s tension fade out, but this did not make her fully comfortable at all. "But even with that, we should not be feeling relieved. We are still in danger, and the messed-up Laws around us makes it obvious..."
Although there is a high chance that the True Gods were dead, Alina knew that their mission in this world is bound to still be a perilous one.
They had just arrived in this world, and they already faced a clan that was using weapons powerful enough to injure them. With this kind of intro, there is no way that this world will be easy.
In fact, Alina had the inkling that whatever was going to happen in this world is bound to change all of them, whether it will be for good or bad.
She just hopes that their mission won’t involve anything related to the True Gods, as that would be the worst...
"Speaking of danger, why don’t we ask Asteria about our Main Mission? If she tells us the Main Mission, we might have an inkling about the situation of this world." Since they were talking about their mission already, Alina has decided to divert their attention on their Guide.
"Hey Asteria, come out here and talk to us! Just drink your honey later!"
Since the symbol on Alex’s forehead was already glowing, it means that the information about the Main Mission is now ready to be accepted. All that was needed to be done now was to have their Guide receive it.
Fortunately for Alina, their Guide was not that stupid to ignore them today.
"Hm? Did somebody call me?" Like a dog that was called by its master, the dumb fairy Asteria obediently flew out of Alina’s storage. "Was it you who called me, Alina?"
"Yes, Asteria. I was the one who called you out. Now, tell us what the Main Mission is." Alina ignored the dumb and honey-stained appearance of Asteria, and she only gave the latter a stern glare. "And don’t delay things any longer. Your cute appearance won’t be of help to you anymore..."
"Ugh, I was just spicing things up back then. Besides, it happened a long time ago, hooman. Can’t you just forget that?" Asteria still sounded as irritating as before, and her attitude seemed to not have improved at all.
"Asteria, just stop talking and tell us the Main Mission already. If you don’t, your honey will..."
"Argh! You’re still as petty as ever, pretty hooman! But this is my job, so I should do this I guess...."
Asteria looked like she was raring to have a go with Alina, but the latter’s stern glare was enough to make Asteria stop playing.
"Ugh, I think I am getting fatter now, hooman. Should I do some exercise after this? Nah, I think will automatically get slim in the future..."
"Hong~" Just like what she had done before, Asteria touched the symbol on Alex’s forehead first in order to obtain the message about the Main Mission.
This time, it took the fairy a few seconds to take in all the info that she was given.
"Huh, you’re actually in a good treat in this world, hoomans." These were the first words that Asteria said as she removed her hand on Alex’s head, and it seemed to be laced with a trace of excitement. "I just hope that you will be happy fighting against the other 5 Traveler Teams that are in this world too. Because if you do, then you will have a good chance of winning."
"What did you say, Asteria?"
[[[MAIN MISSION: ESTABLISH THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS WORLD, AND HELP A RELIGION TO BECOME THIS WORLD’S DOMINANT RELIGION. TIME LIMIT: 30 YEARS. REWARD- hm? Do you have a problem again, hooman? Why are you interrupting me?
"No, I don’t have a problem, Asteria. Let’s just... talk about it once you’re done announcing the Main Mission."
