Bab 68: Chapter 27: Dialogue with 'God' _1

Motan thought he must be hallucinating, otherwise, why would the previously serene and composed Goddess of Dawn suddenly have such a disconcerting demeanor…

Although weird things like this had been happening to him for over twenty years, surely his atypical split personality hadn't reached this extent, right?!

Or could it be that he wasn't actually logged into the game, and he had added some high-purity alcohol to his coffee while he wasn't paying attention, and now he was just plain drunk?

No, his thoughts were already getting mixed up...

"Hey, react already!"

Under normal circumstances, considering the character setup of the Goddess of Dawn, she shouldn't be known for her aloofness, coldness, arrogance, and yet, her compassion and boundless love for all living beings, right?

"Will you say something already?! Responding to prayers really takes it out of me!"

But this goddess, her character seemed to contradict itself too. And why was she using words like 'smacking' and 'blasting'? Was she trying to be trendy?

"What are you pondering over there? I can't hear you if you don't answer properly!"

There were indeed some unconventional character setups. For example, characters like the God of light or the Goddess of Dawn were not saints, their religious factions preached benevolence, but they committed all sorts of atrocities. This kind of setting seems popular, but she didn't seem to fit that either...

"It seems like you're thinking something quite disrespectful."

Hey! The current situation reminded him of a girl back in middle school who led a bunch of ruffians and ruled the whole school. Of course, the latter was more well-built, she was already close to 200 pounds at a very young age...

"Are! You! Listening! To! Me?!"

Finally, the 'Goddess of Dawn' projection couldn't stand it anymore. She, radiating a soft, pale golden light, took a quick step, and aimed a massive slap right at him!

Motan only felt a warm breeze rushing at him, he instinctively wanted to dodge to the side, but an overwhelming power held him in place. He was slapped so hard that he spun a few meters away before crashing down…

Even though the slap hurt quite a bit, it didn't make him bleed. Instead, it snapped him out of his 'intermittent mental breakdown' phase that he slipped into when he was feeling 'absolutely neutral'.

"Um… Miss Goddess…" Motan got up awkwardly from the ground and bowed to the now visibly upset figure in front of him: "I apologize."

Seeing him react at last, Paccy, the Goddess of Dawn, finally stopped flexing her joints. She asked with a still slightly dreamy voice: "Do you think I don't seem like a goddess?"

"I dare not." Now that he was certain he wasn't just dreaming, Motan put on an appeasing smile and firmly denied it.

This was a response from the 'True God' during prayer; even though she was just a 'god' set up in the game, if she became unhappy and punished him, the consequences could be severe!

Moreover, this goddess did seem to have quite a temper…

In all honesty, if it weren't for the fact that there was no malicious intent or disrespect in Motan's thoughts before, even if the Goddess of Dawn didn't mind, in terms of game rules, he would have been labeled as 'blasphemous', which would have resulted in a penalty that could be costlier than starting his game character from scratch.

"You dare not?" The projection before him seemed to chuckle softly, she spread her hands towards him: "In this world, you're my believer, and I'm your God, but as a life form one dimension above me, even if you were to disrespect me, so what? What if your body that's praying in a church gets destroyed, how will that affect you?"

!!!

This statement was like a thunderclap in a clear sky for Motan. Perhaps not just for him, but any player who heard this statement would definitely be shocked.

Just like if you were teleported into a cartoon world, and a character known for his sarcastic remarks came up to you, looked at you fiercely and complained, "Are these viewers out of their minds?!!!! Why, every time there's a vote, my insightful, profound character is only ranked eighth! Glasses are not my main trait! Go back and watch it a hundred more times, you heartless people!"

Similar to that kind of feeling...

If this was not a game setting, but the 'NPC' had some knowledge of something beyond the game, then this game, [Realm of Innocence], would be truly exceptional.

This was treading on the forbidden line that even the most human-like AI could not cross...

Although Motan was taken aback, he quickly regained his composure, it was thanks to his mental strength (after all, he was insane), and carefully asked: "What do you mean by that?"

"Just as it sounds." The Goddess of Dawn shook her head: "You don't need to be nervous, I think it's good to clear things up, it could be helpful for our communication later on. However, I do hope that you maintain your faith - or should I say, trust in me in this world, otherwise, even I cannot change the judgment of 'blasphemous'."

Motan nodded, relaxing a little. Although he hated trouble at this moment, if something irritating did come up, he'd be able to handle it pretty well (since he was used to it).
