…
"Delta and Epsilon have failed." Gamma looked up at the clock on the wall of the basement. It had been exactly twelve hours since the planned time.
The death of the Oracle was not surprising. Being an enemy of the World Creator was inherently filled with unpredictable risks. As long as they could complete their mission, death was not a big deal. As long as they had enough time, they would be reborn in the realm of God sooner or later.
But in the past twelve hours, nothing had changed in this world.
In the illusory space filled with magic, it did not even feel the slightest ripple, not to mention the entire realm showing signs of collapse. This could only mean one thing. The two of them had failed to complete their plan of killing the logical consciousness entity named "Zero."
"Although it's regrettable, we still have our own mission to complete." Beta fused the last five cores into his body and suddenly opened his arms.
A red light flashed, and then a bright red Erosion rift appeared out of thin air in the middle of the basement.
"The situation has not reached the point of no return. As long as we can achieve our goal, there's still a chance. Let's go. The magic here will soon be exhausted, and the state of the two worlds overlapping will also be restored. Even a martial artist might be able to detect our traces. "
It did not even try to guess the process of the battle and the reason for its failure. As an Oracle of God, it would not feel frustrated because of a momentary failure, nor would it care about the consequences of failure. The only thing on its mind was to do its best to complete God's will.
Gamma nodded silently.
Beta turned around and took the lead to step into the rift.
This was not an ordinary Erosion.
It was a "passage" built after consuming a large amount of energy and the cores of Fallen Evils. And the other Erosion rift connected to it led to the final battlefield set up for the main Creator.
Gamma followed closely behind. Just as it was about to enter the passage, footsteps suddenly sounded from the staircase.
It was slightly stunned and turned its head to look at the source of the sound. This place was blocked by magic, and any detection methods were ineffective. There were also a large number of Fallen Evils guarding outside, so it was impossible for anyone to enter.
Soon, the figure of the person appeared in the darkness.
"Why is it you?" Gamma was extremely puzzled.
It was Epsilon who had disguised herself as a human.
According to the plan, it should be responsible for delaying the rescuers and buying enough time for Delta. If the latter didn't succeed, it was even less likely for Epsilon to survive.
However, what it received was not an answer, but an arm with five fingers closed.
The arm pierced through its chest at lightning speed!
The mask fell to the ground with a clang, revealing the rotating astrolabe under the hood.
Gamma looked at him in disbelief, and his consciousness quickly became sluggish. "You … Why …"
"There's indeed a difference." Epsilon retracted her hand and allowed Gamma to fall onto her. "… You and Lan."
"You … want to betray God?"
After a moment of silence, Epsilon whispered, "Who is God?"
"Yes —" Gamma opened its mouth, but its voice kept repeating like a stuck phonograph. In the end, it could not give a definite answer.
"That's right … We've never thought about such a question before, so we can't answer it. Ever since I killed Lan, I've suddenly had many thoughts. It's as though they've always been in my mind, but I've deliberately sealed them off. And one of them is this: Did Lan really betray God? "Epsilon murmured in its ear." And the conclusion is that I don't know. Oracles are the embodiment of God's will. If we go against this, can we still be considered Oracles? "
Gamma didn't reply, or it could be said that it could no longer speak.
"The following mission requires two people to complete, so it's the same no matter who it is. If you have the chance to meet His Excellency, please ask this question on my behalf."
Epsilon opened up its robe and wrapped its companion up. After a squirming, it completely transformed into Gamma.
Following that, it picked up the mask and wore it before walking into the Erosion rift.
After passing through the twisted passageway formed by magic, Epsilon opened its eyes again and saw a completely different scene.
The barrel-shaped structure made of reinforced concrete stretched from the bottom to the top, like a magnificent tower.
The interior of the tower was surrounded by layers of suspended walkways that were connected by a shuttle-shaped elevator.
The walkways were evenly distributed with countless squares, and it knew that the things locked in those squares were their targets — the magic power cores that this world had stolen from God's domain.
With these cores, the Oracles had enough power to set up a trap to kill the Creator.
"Why are you so slow?" Beta looked back at it. "Let's begin when you're ready."
"Of course, leave it to me," Epsilon replied calmly.
…
For the rest of the day, Roland slumped over his desk, sighing.
The series of sudden incidents in the Dream World could be said to have overwhelmed him. Waking up didn't mean that he was free. Be it the memories from fusing with the astrolabe or the detailed conversation with Valkries, all of them gave him a headache.
Especially the former.
Before entering the Bottomless Land and facing God, it was no doubt the only source of relevant information. From Lan's words, he could tell that the importance of the information was extraordinary. However, after pondering over it for a long time, he couldn't figure out the connection between the content he saw and the second scene.
There was also a line of text that left him extremely concerned.
— "From this moment forth, gravity is no longer the most revered force in this world. "
Why did it have to be gravity?
Among the four forces of the Universe, gravity was nothing special other than its wide range of effect. In terms of application, it was inferior to the electromagnetic force, and in terms of strength, it was far inferior to the strong interaction force. It was precisely because of its large macroscopic scale that it was the first fundamental force that civilizations paid attention to. This also meant that it had the least amount of mystery. According to conventional thinking, apart from being appointed, it was very difficult to treat it as the most revered force.
As for the latter, after Nightmare Lord expressed her intention to cooperate, the two returned to the high-end restaurant where they first met for a full and frank conversation. This once again attracted the attention of other customers.
According to Valkries, once it confirmed the situation at the front lines, it would change its goal of "winning the Battle of Divine Will" to "completely stop the Battle of Divine Will." This also included convincing Sky Lord to assist humanity in heading to the Bottomless Land.
Compared to obtaining information from Sky Lord alone, the benefits of this cooperation were clearly much greater. However, the problem was whether Sky Lord was willing to be convinced was another matter. Furthermore, there was more than one senior lord among the demons. Above the senior lords, there was a King. It was ultimately uncertain if Hackzord could decide the direction of the Western Front army.
