Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3898 Just Touching Him

"So annoying...!"

Maiser gave a disdainful look, shook his head to clear his mind of the distracting thoughts, used his telekinesis to block out the moans coming from Mia's room, and continued to focus his attention on the computer screen.

It was a summary report written by a senior scholar from the planet Superpower. Below is a portion of it.

There were many initial theories about the origins of the superpowers of those with special abilities. After nearly a century of development, through the process of elimination, incorrect views have been eliminated one by one, and two relatively recognized schools of thought have emerged.

One school of thought believes that superpowers are an evolution of the mysterious concept of life. Just as species in nature evolve continuously over a long history, the fittest survive, and the emergence of superpowers indicates the next direction of human evolution.

Humanity is now at a critical juncture in its evolution.

A striking example is that parents without superpowers can still have children with superpowers.

If both parents are gifted individuals, their children are highly likely to possess such abilities, and this probability increases with the number of gifted individuals in their ancestors' lineage.

If the father and mother are superhumans, the probability of their child being a superhuman is about 50%. If the grandparents are also superhumans, the probability of their child being a superhuman increases to 70%.

The next generation has not yet been statistically analyzed due to a lack of sufficient data.

In other words, humans without superpowers are burdens discarded by the general trend of evolution, or they are destined to be appendages of those with superpowers.

I don't want to use the word "servant"; it's not very civilized.

Another view holds that the superpowers of those with supernatural abilities originated from several massive bursts of mysterious energy, such as the massive solar eclipse of 1860, which plunged the world into darkness, resembling the end of the world. It is believed that superpowered individuals suddenly appeared at that time, and in large numbers.

The mysterious World Tree and the dense fog that suddenly appeared in the southern city in 1934 also caused a surge in the number of people with superpowers.

Another piece of evidence is the super-powered potion developed by Helios Corporation, which can turn ordinary people into superhumans, and the raw materials for the potion come from the withered World Tree.

Therefore, this school of thought believes that supernatural abilities are gifts from these supernatural phenomena and are limited in scope.

Just like the oil underground, it seems abundant now, enough to support the entire world, but theoretically it will eventually run out. As long as the mysterious and enormous energy stops erupting, the superpowered will gradually disappear.

Unfortunately, even the most powerful superhumans cannot trace the source of these energies.

Maiser slowly moved his fingers across the mouse, concentrating intently on the data on the USB drive, which contained tens of thousands of pages of dense text, numerous images, and videos—all of great value, and it would take a while to finish reading it all.

She recalled that the superhumans on the Arad continent had only existed for a short time, less than thirty years, and the prevailing view was that their origins came from the phenomenon of migration.

In other words, after Hilder began manipulating the transfer phenomenon, not only did animals and plants on the continent of Arad undergo mutations, but humans were also affected.

Maiser continued reading...

The following are considered the highest-level supernatural abilities: time manipulation, space manipulation, telekinesis...

However, in terms of time and space, the superpowered individuals that appear are only theoretically extremely powerful, and their actual, controllable influence is very small.

There was once a superhuman who claimed he could stop time for a few seconds, but during the frozen time, he couldn't do anything; not even light could be reflected into his eyes.

Telekinesis, said to be the power of the soul, is most famously embodied by Nero, whose power is said to be enough to move continents.

Suddenly, DaMaiser's long hair moved without wind, each strand glowing with a bluish-green light, a sign that her supernatural power was activated. About five meters away from her, the refrigerator door suddenly opened, and a bag of snacks flew over on its own.

On the other side, Miya was so happy she was about to faint. The afterglow of her blissful body hadn't faded, and she was breathing softly, her mouth foaming at the mouth. She was lying lazily in Ganzha's arms.

Miya has a delicate and lovely oval face, long and slender arms and legs, and is already a beauty of unparalleled grace. Unexpectedly, she also has a pair of huge breasts that are difficult to control.

She is a plant-based ability user, and the Sacred Tree Wuxuan is the ancestor of all plants. Therefore, to her, Ye Lin's aura is as intimate and warm as that of a blood relative. When she snuggles into his arms, she feels a sense of security, like returning home.

After a long while, Miya, her face flushed, shifted her body, her eyes glistening with tears, and in a very soft voice, she pleaded:
"Dad, Miya is tired."

…………

The next day.

Ye Lin continued to collect materials from various places with Serena, following the list given by the goddess Venus, which made the latter's eyes look increasingly strange.

The exquisite elven wine I bought yesterday adorned the goddess's bedchamber, and the holy water was poured into the clean fountain outside Sebastian's palace, flowing ceaselessly and shimmering with a faint white glow.

The sacred silk purchased in the Celestial Realm was a prized possession among nobles and has now been transformed into sunshade curtains for many rooms.

Meanwhile, at the Grand Cathedral of Remidia, Yuena intentionally had Luciel, the arsonist, pray to the gods to inquire about her marriage and see if she could get a definite answer.

Her reasoning was that if God gave an accurate answer, He could completely sever Ye Lin's feelings and stop bothering you, allowing you to finally have some peace and quiet.

If you don't pray or ask, Ye Lin will definitely nag you every day, asking if you have asked God for His opinion, three times a day, morning, noon and night.

Then, Lucille's "organization" remained at the branch cathedral at Cape Dia in the Delos Empire, and was not transferred to the Grand Cathedral.

The reason she could always be seen in Huttonmar was simply because no one in the clergy could control her, and the branch church hadn't had anything for her to handle lately, so she could stay wherever she wanted.

Everyone knows that when Lucille was enraged and wanted to kill someone, she wouldn't even give Archbishop Majello any face. The flames of God were unrestrained, and she even killed Night Forest.

The reason why Bishop Antonio of the branch cathedral was able to protect the scholars who supported the abolition of the death penalty was because the arsonist's temper had improved a lot and she was barely able to listen to others, and because the scholars did not deserve to die.

“Sister, God will not give us the answer directly, God will only give us revelation.” Lucille made a prayer gesture, and only at this moment did her cold and deep eyes under her mushroom hair soften a lot.

The whole world knows that the God we believe in is an old riddle-maker.

Furthermore, marriage is the domain of Venus, the goddess of beauty; what does that have to do with the god we believe in?

The weather was lovely today. Lucille's cold, deep eyes softened slightly in the sunlight as she spoke softly:
"I said that yesterday just to make an excuse so that Ye Lin would stop bothering me."

"That means you have absolutely no feelings for him." Yue Na nodded.

Given Lucille's extremely extreme personality, whether she likes it or not, she would probably reject it outright and take the opportunity to belittle Ye Lin, and it would be normal for her to say a few words of abuse.

However, something strange happened. Instead of an immediate answer, there was a long silence, so quiet it was as if sunlight had a sound-absorbing effect.

A thought flashed through Yuena's mind: Could it be that Lucille...?

A few minutes later, Lucille casually tossed her mushroom-shaped bangs:
"I don't understand what 'like' means. The word is too foreign to me. I have dedicated my life to God and have never had any other thoughts."

The flame of serving God should burn with one's whole heart. Obes, clad in light armor, approached, her makeup exquisite, her smile warm and friendly. She stood before the two sunbathing figures and said:
"Sister Lucille, there's something I need your help with."

"Who should we cut?" Lucille's eyes lit up, a hint of fanaticism flashing within them.

“It’s not about killing people. It’s like this: in the women’s cult I lead, there are a few children who, for some special reasons, are not quite used to the holy light of us paladins. I think they might resonate with the flames of you inquisitors, so I’d like to ask you to take a look.”

“Where is Misha?” Lucille asked the inquisitor who resided in the Great Cathedral.

"She just went on a mission."

Lucille stood up, and as if talking to herself, said:
“I will ask God.”

…………

Heaven.

Yesterday, Ye Lin was all high and mighty, and he even swore an oath with Lucille with a high five. Now, he is kneeling outside the palace with his squinty eyes, looking embarrassed. He took some time to come to Heaven.

With narrowed eyes, he asked coldly, "Tell me yourself, how many of my followers have you slept with?"

"Actually, there aren't many..." Ye Lin answered guiltily, lacking confidence.

"Heh..." The squinty-eyed man sneered, leaving no door open for him and refusing to let him in.

This guy came to Heaven with a purpose: to get her to give him the answers he wanted when she prayed and questioned Lucille, the Inquisitor of Heretics.

"I cultivate believers to punish evil and promote good, and to fight against heresy, not to pick out wives for you."

"If this continues, are you also going to lay a hand on my Archangel Guard?"

"Now it's even more outrageous, you even have designs on my flames."

After giving Ye Lin a good scolding, his narrowed eyes seemed to have barely vented some of his anger, and he let out a noticeable deep breath before asking:
"Lucille Redmayne, a descendant of Ramirez, is not particularly outstanding in appearance, and she has an extreme personality, hates evil as if it were her enemy, and cannot tolerate any evil. By any measure, she does not seem to be a very good candidate for a spouse."

In other words, Lucille's personality is inherently incompatible with others, and putting her in the same pool would cause problems.

It's true that Ganzhe's XP system compatibility is excellent, but it's undeniable that the "plugins" he installs are of very high quality.

Lucille's mushroom-shaped haircut and the way she only smiles when she's about to chop someone up suggest that she's not particularly outstanding in her family.

"She...has big breasts."

"Moreover, I actually quite like her personality."

"Lucille can be free-range..."

He squinted and made a "heh" sound. After a while, he said indifferently, "Alright, go back now. Don't play with fire and get burned."

Ye Lin got up but did not leave. Instead, he stared intently at the squinting palace, the light of his pupil technique shining deep in his eyes, the laws flowing, trying to see the truth behind the other party's refusal to see him.

The next second, the Book of Order suddenly flew out, emitting a sharp whistling sound, and like a hard brick, it slammed directly into Ye Lin's forehead.

"boom!"

Meanwhile, due to the protective barrier, he was unable to see what the squinty-eyed man was doing.

"You think you're so great? Get lost!"

After a while, once she was sure Ye Lin had left, Remy came out. Her eyes were strikingly different, one black and one green. She said softly, "He may have sensed something, but it's not a big problem."

The goddess of wisdom, Nimère, emerged with her, clutching a radiant gold in her hand, her entire being radiating intense light, and she remained silent.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

At what Hiat believed to be the most appropriate time—which was actually a purely intuitive choice, without any deliberate speculation, she simply felt the timing was right—she chose to complete the path to godhood and return to the Primordial Sea, based on Remi's advice.

By carrying the power of destiny to complete the ritual of becoming a god, one may have the opportunity to discover the deeper power of destiny.

Celia cautioned, "Although I have merged the Primordial Sea with it, it still symbolizes the original state of the primordial universe. The path to godhood is based on this foundation, and I cannot exert too much influence on it. You must be careful."

The place where those who become gods achieve godhood is still the Primordial Sea, and she cannot stop this fundamental rule. At the same time, the Primordial Sea is still dangerous, and even powerful beings in the divine realm need to be cautious.

"Fat bream, watch out." Maruko couldn't squeeze out a single tear, no matter how hard she tried.

Immediately, Hiat tore through the void and successfully arrived at the Primordial Sea.

Here, there is no concept of time. The sky flickers with endless chaotic lightning, and the seawater, which merges with the bright sky, surges with dense chaotic mist. The sacredness is tinged with wisps of killing intent, and every wisp of chaos contains unfathomable power.

“It’s almost identical to what Mo Mei and the others described.” Hiaite didn’t think too much about it and continued with the ascension ritual step by step.

She imprinted a wisp of her will into the depths of the Primordial Sea, enduring the divine punishment of the Chaos Thunder in the process. The thunder transformed into a vast ocean, sweeping in with terrifying force, causing her divine body to tremble and sometimes spurting out blood.

The power of destiny that she cared about most remained completely silent throughout the entire process, as if it had always been the same, no different from what she experienced in the real world.

Suddenly, a realization dawned on Hiat.

In the beginning of chaos, before all things were born, apart from the primordial god and the great will, the original universe was almost dead and silent, with no life existing. The threads that the power of destiny could draw were very few, unable to drive the enormous cause and effect and the future.

Therefore, as the most primordial form of time, the power of destiny cannot exert its influence.

"It seems that, just as Lord Remy said, the true power of destiny comes from those three moments after creation."

"I want to take her place and return to the realm that belongs to the Great Will."

Hia Temer calculated that the time of the primordial tide was not far off. When the tide came, she would drift with it along the river of time, from ancient times to the present, omnipresent and all-encompassing.

It's regrettable that this completion of the ascension ritual didn't evolve her destiny powers, but it did improve her combat strength to some extent, so it can still be considered a gain.

Later, perhaps influenced by Ye Lin and having heard his story of retrieving things from the Primordial Sea, Xia Te reached into the seawater once when the tide came in and immediately pulled out a ball of brilliant light.
