Sophocles was a Demon King who always acted in a high profile manner. He often used his incarnations and believers to travel the mortal plane. Only now did people realize that his high profile manner was actually a type of disguise.
"If my inference is correct — no, based on my understanding of the Gods, it's impossible for my inference to be wrong. Sophocles … is a God with no personality. This misjudgment is the root cause of the current situation. "
There were only a few people sitting around in this spacious conference room. However, my current expression was likely rather unpleasant.
After all, this wasn't the first time I had interacted with Sophocles. Only now did I realize that I was communicating with a divine power server that could only think logically and make logical deductions. This seemed rather foolish.
"… At the very least, you discovered the truth after the fact. You're much better off than those who didn't even know the truth after being screwed over."
"Harloys, you … you're actually consoling me?"
"… You're so used to being so narcissistic. Of course you can think that."
I glanced at the silly cat who was using her own method to encourage me. I took a deep breath and reorganized all the information I had in the past. This time, I couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
"Sophocles, more accurately speaking, is no longer a demon from the Chaos Abyss. He's a pure Order God. Although it's inconceivable, it's the only explanation for the current situation … "
Not only were the archmages of the Mage Country present, there was also Halent's special envoy, the fairies' high-level editors, and the Ottoman Empire's Grand Duke Solan. Everyone really wanted to know what exactly had happened and why such an unforeseen event had occurred.
As Sophocles' opponent, I probably had the most right to speak on this topic. In order to unify the upcoming battle, I needed to give everyone an explanation.
"Sophocles successfully used his incarnation to ascend to Godhood. He's the 'God of Evolution' that everyone has long since forgotten. Perhaps this is a secret in the eyes of everyone, but it's no big secret to everyone here. However, there's one thing that probably nobody remembers. Perhaps everyone believes that the God of Evolution has become nothing more than a joke and dark history after Sophocles' true identity was revealed. But actually … the God of Evolution has always been living in Sophocles' body.
"I don't know what Sophocles was thinking, but over the long years, he indeed transformed most of his existence into the God of Evolution who had no personal will. The Sophocles that everyone knows of is nothing more than a puppet created by the God of Evolution who had no personal will."
Sophocles had long since died as an intelligent individual. In fact, it was impossible to determine the exact date of his death. The most likely explanation was that the God of Evolution completed his impersonation.
That's right, dead people. When an intelligent being gave up on their sense of self, even if they were invincible, they wouldn't even have the concept of "themselves". What was the difference between them and dead things?
However, an inanimate object caused the entire world to tremble in fear, causing us to pay an unbearable price.
The reason? Unreliable. Perhaps he had gone overboard in his pursuit of greater power and was devoured by his more rational and Order clone. Perhaps he had forcefully split his mind and finally went insane, giving up on himself. Perhaps he had been deceived by others and walked down the wrong path …
Cough, although this sounded rather familiar, I was definitely referring to Sophocles, not Roland.
What? Do you feel a little scared? You almost reached that step? Of course … I was scared! Now that I thought about it, if it wasn't for the fact that my System cheated on me, Sophocles would have died. There was no reason why I wouldn't have died back then.
After repeated deductions, the truth about Sophocles as an individual was finally revealed. Although it seemed quite amusing, the result was quite difficult to laugh at.
Sophocles was an Order God who had crawled out from the corpse of a Chaos Main God. He wore the skin of a Chaos Main God, and lived in the Chaos Abyss for countless years. He became Order's mortal enemy, and in the end, he sacrificed everything in order to fulfill his duty as an Order Main God, pushing the "natural order" that he represented to the very peak.
"The root of everything is still his Divine Concept — 'Evolution.'"
A God with no personal will was just like a computer that only knew how to think mechanically and work hard. They would do their best to operate according to their predetermined plans, even if that would bring about their destruction.
Perhaps a God with no personal will would place an incredibly high priority on their own safety. However, the foundational nature of an Order God was that as long as their Divine Concept conflicted with their own will, they would definitely choose to carry out their Divine Concept.
This was also why no matter how powerful a God with no personal will was, it wouldn't matter. A mechanical and inflexible way of thinking was the stupidest.
"A God with no personal will is far too inflexible. As long as I act according to your rules, I'll naturally be able to gradually weaken you. As long as I weaken you to a certain degree, I'll be able to easily kill you in the end."
If my inference was correct, Sophocles and Cavendish had used the God of Holy Light's mechanical thinking to trick the God of Holy Light into sending an incarnation here.
However, Sophocles was stronger than the God of Holy Light in that Sophocles was originally a Chaos Main God. Not only that, Sophocles' foundational nature of Chaos allowed him to devour countless souls and memories, giving him an even more complete artificial intelligence. Sophocles' fake personality made him incredibly sly, and his disguise successfully fooled everyone. It was already too late by the time the truth was revealed.
Sophocles' Order Divine Concept was evolution, and the Chaos Abyss also pursued evolution. An Order God had been promoting evolution in the Chaos Abyss for so many years, yet nobody noticed that something was wrong.
"And the key person in all of this is the other Main God, Cavendish …"
All Cavendish had done was probably see through Sophocles' disguise and say, "I have a plan that will allow me to truly evolve." Then, he would give Sophocles sufficient evidence and logical reasoning. Sophocles, who was a God with no personal will, would give up everything for the sake of fulfilling his Divine Concept.
It could be said that Sophocles was nothing more than an inanimate object, a tool, or a murder weapon. The true culprit who had caused such a tremendous loss was the mastermind who had used this tool — Cavendish.
From the very beginning, Sophocles had always been acting in front of me. He had even led me into his trap many times. Fortunately, I had never trusted Sophocles, so I never fell for his trap. As for who the mastermind behind all of this was, there was no need to mention it.
As for whether or not Cavendish himself truly believed in pure evolution … I swore on my kneecap that if he truly believed in it, he would make me suffer the most miserable fate in the world … make me be single for the rest of my life?
"… I can sense the evil intentions of the world. It's best that I don't make such a vow …"
"It'll be different if you don't make a vow?"
Ahem, ahem, if Cavendish really did have some sort of faith, and I was wrong, then my second uncle's niece's second son was named Second Fool. Next time, everyone can just call him out and beat him up to vent their anger …
"… You're still going to call everyone to beat up Cavendish?"
The silly cat's reaction was truly quick. Even this didn't make her dizzy.
"No, there's no need to push him. I simply sensed your evil intentions."
I ignored the silly cat who was becoming more and more arrogant as I focused on my deductions. Since it was already confirmed that Sophocles was a God with no personal will and a murder weapon, the remaining facts were simply my deductions.
I had originally thought that Cavendish wouldn't have any allies, as nobody would have the same interests as a God of Destruction. However, "idealists believe that their ideals are more important than their own lives." Sophocles was an exception.
From the very start, Sophocles and Sophocles had been on the same side. They had always been acting in front of us and everyone else.
The other two Chaos Main Gods had been tricked by Sophocles and Sophocles. Not only had Sophocles and Sophocles become cannon fodder for Sophocles and Sophocles, but they had also become backup sacrifices for Sophocles and Sophocles' "ideals."
Sophocles and Sophocles had tricked Sophocles and Sophocles. From the very start, Sophocles had never intended to save Sophocles. The Lord of Tyranny had also been nothing more than a backup sacrifice. If Sophocles had appeared on the western battlefront, he would have been nothing more than an additional sacrifice.
And now, Cavendish had already achieved his goal. He had made a sufficient number of sacrifices to make that chaotic dimensional door open. If we didn't stop Sophocles as soon as possible, everything would become irreversible.
Now that the truth was right in front of us, it was quite obvious what we needed to do.
"Analyze the chaotic dimensional door and destroy it at all costs! And then … kill Cavendish and end everything. "
