"? What do I know?!"
"Samantha and All Machines know this too. This ’Cosmos’ of ours... its predecessor was just a strange fragnt I happened to pick up."
"Without your help, there’s no way I could’ve managed to tinker with it and get it activated all by myself!"
"See? And now, as you’ve all surely seen for yourselves..."
"Look! The thing this gentleman here controls, the one so similar in nature to ’Cosmos,’ is very likely from the sa source."
At this, the teasing fellow chuckled and continued:
"Besides, I’m sure you’ve all felt it by now."
"If we’re willing to make so sort of contract with it, Cosmos and this other thing can rge into one."
"The Authority over Cosmos is split three ways. Samantha, All Machines, and I each hold a share."
"And this gentleman before us is clearly one of the Controllers of that thing... or perhaps the only one. After all, all this ti, we haven’t seen any other beings, have we?"
"..."
The fellow, who clearly enjoyed the drama and didn’t mind fanning the flas, spoke with an extrely flippant tone.
However, Lince didn’t sense any malice from him.
After the guy rattled on about a bunch of things Lince only vaguely understood...
At that mont, even the hostility radiating from the God of All Machines, who had manifested in the Void Space, began to fade.
Naturally, Lince withdrew his Sea of Fire Domain as well.
A mont of silence fell over the Void Space.
Finally, the God of All Machines was the first to speak, his voice booming:
"I must admit, you do indeed possess the strength to stand with us as an equal."
The God of All Machines glanced at Lince’s Giant Dragon form. His tone then shifted, turning sowhat hostile as he addressed the so-called God of Thousand Faces.
"If I am not mistaken, Thousand Faces, you made a fool of . Did you use as a pawn to test this newcor?"
"Made a fool of? A pawn?"
"Oh, co now, you can’t say that."
"We’re all Controllers of Cosmos, after all. When sothing like this happens, even if you hadn’t co forward, All Machines, either Samantha or I would have had to."
"Besides, I wasn’t the one who woke you. It was just a random selection by the rules and chanisms of Cosmos."
The God of Thousand Faces replied flippantly, his tone practically begging to be punched.
From start to finish, he didn’t seem to treat the conflict as anything serious.
"Hmph! You’d better hope so!"
"If I find out you were behind this, I will wage war upon your domain once more!"
Hearing this, the God of Thousand Faces remained unfazed.
But he said no more, as if he, too, was afraid that further provocation would truly complicate matters.
Just then, the Mother of All Things, Samantha, who had been silent for so ti, spoke softly.
"Alright, that’s enough from both of you."
"Let’s not make a spectacle of ourselves in front of our guest."
"By the way, sir, how should we address you?"
Lince considered for a mont before replying calmly.
"The Fiery Sun and Space Dragon, Nidhogg."
"A dragon? You do resemble so dragons I know. However, none of them possessed your level of strength, Sir Nidhogg."
At this, the Mother of All Things, Samantha, continued, "You’ve been listening to our conversation for a while, sir. As an Authority User yourself, you must have so understanding of what Thousand Faces was talking about, yes?"
"Therefore, I believe there’s no need for us to waste any more words."
"The three of us are interested in having you join our ’Cosmos’ Pantheon. Of course, should you join us, you would certainly not be our subordinate. Now, if you would please wait a mont, sir."
Lince had no objection.
And so, the entire Void Space fell silent once more.
Evidently, the God of All Machines, the Mother of All Things, and the God of Thousand Faces had begun to discuss sothing among themselves.
anwhile, Lince was not idle either.
He was receiving a great deal of feedback from the True Ga.
[Contact with Exotic Realm Law. Homologous information detected.]
[The scale of ’Cosmos’ is considerable, but the True Ga is by no ans ’small.’ Scale does not determine everything. Given the Chief Administrator’s strength, the risks are indeed nurous, but there should be no imdiate danger.]
[In light of the current situation, the Chief Administrator is now presented with three options.]
[1. Continue to resist in the hope that the rules of the ’True Ga’ will overwrite the rules of the ’Cosmic Ga.’ Risk: High. Outco: Unknown.]
[2. Master-Servant Contract. The True Ga and the Cosmic Ga establish a master-servant relationship for one side, leading to a rger. However, regardless of which becos the master and which the servant, argunts and even conflict will be inevitable. Risk: Unknown.]
[3. Equal Contract. The True Ga and the Cosmic Ga enter an equal contract. The rules of both sides will interact and rge into one. The Chief Administrator will retain all rights and benefits acquired during the True Ga, while also obtaining power within the ’Cosmic Ga’ comparable to that of the current ’Three Gods.’]
(Note: For both options 2 and 3, once a contract is established, the Unity of the ’Gas’ will result in a qualitative leap in power.)
’At first, Lince truly hadn’t expected this.’
’The mysterious True Ga wasn’t the only one of its kind.’
’And the Cosmic Ga and the True Ga were from the sa source?’
Thanks to the information revealed by the God of Thousand Faces, Lince was finally beginning to understand so things about the True Ga.
’A Divine Fragnt?’
’Was it really a fragnt?’
’Those Three Gods activated the Cosmic Ga together?’
’Then why was the Blue Star’s True Ga activated?’
’Were there other powerful beings behind it?’
’Impossible!’
’After all, if there were, they would have shown themselves by now.’
’So, the reason for the True Ga’s activation remained unknown.’
But there was one thing Lince now knew for certain.
The True Ga was, in fact, a product of the very sa source as the Cosmic Ga.
