I'll kill you after I finish this game!

For example, a certain Astolfo.

Astolfo, one of Charlemagne's twelve warriors, was a handsome man and the son of King Oddo of England. Because of his good looks and petite figure, his women's clothing made him mistaken for a woman.

However, the statue in front of them did not give the impression of being a woman.

Compared to Afu, this statue looks more like Lanling Wang and Enkidu.

The former was a military general who served the Northern Qi dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties period of China.

Renowned for his beauty and bravery, he was hailed as the god of war of the Qi state. It is said that he would even share a single piece of fruit with his subordinates. After his death, he was posthumously granted the title of King Wu of Lanling.

The latter is a divinely created life form, a beautiful green person, who is also beautiful beyond common sense and gender boundaries.

"Is he... also a domineering god?"

Looking at the lifelike male statue in front of her, Lan Cheng Wuyue examined it carefully from head to toe, and then asked with some doubt, "But didn't the mural say that this order only recorded ten overlord gods and their laws? Why is there another statue here?"

This surprised everyone present.

The strange space they were in, and the male statue in front of them, was already the eleventh statue, which did not match the information they had obtained from the murals.

If you say this statue isn't a god, then everyone here has personally experienced what it's like to be in that special space.

"Moreover, compared to the previous spaces with simple colors, the color combinations in this space are as complex as a kaleidoscope."

Shizuno Urushihara recalled the situation just now, and glanced around at the various unusual colors with a rather wary and apprehensive look.

Those weren't decorative colors; they were more like things used to illustrate divine ideas, and they had just been influenced by that.

"This guy... he looks kind of familiar."

Shana touched her fair chin, staring intently at the statue in front of her, feeling as if she knew it.

At this moment, she tried to find a comparison in her memory, and finally thought of a foster father who, unlike her mother, she could not see often.

The other person looks very similar to this statue, but the charm and temperament are not the same.

In Shana's memory, her adoptive father was a lazy but capable man who seemed listless in everything he did.

Moreover, in his relationship with his mother, the mother was passively enduring Matilda's pursuit.

Shana's adoptive father and mother were merely her adoptive parents; they were not husband and wife, but rather each held a different role within her family.

So... could it be the other person? Shana couldn't be sure, but she did know that her adoptive father had nothing to do with the concept of "ordinary".

After all, Matilda is a domineering goddess, and the person she falls in love with must not be an ordinary person.

"There are inscriptions here too, but... it's all so messy."

Tsuchimikado Ryusui also felt that the person in front of her was somewhat familiar, a familiarity from her memories of her past life. However, compared to that, she subconsciously looked at the place where the inscription was engraved under the pedestal, and then frowned.

Just as Longshui said, there is also an inscription under the pedestal of this statue, but the inscription here is not as neat and clear as the previous inscriptions.

The inscription in front of me was carved in a messy and blurry manner, with many scratches and garbled characters that looked like attempts to correct typos.

It's as if something unexpected happened while the person carving the inscription was carving this place, and they were unable to continue carving normally.

"Can you interpret this? Dragon Water."

Leidi Vasilisa looked at Tsuchimikado Ryūsui, who was frowning, and asked him softly.

"No problem. Although the inscription is incomplete, it can still be interpreted."

Tsuchimikado Ryusui nodded, indicating that there was no major problem with the interpretation, although the interpretation might not be comprehensive.

No one present felt there was anything wrong with this; they thought it was to be expected that something would go wrong.

According to the murals, the underground temple, which originally housed only ten domineering gods, now has an additional layer.

Everything here exudes a sense of strangeness, and is different from the previous spaces of statues and temples.

All the doubts and questions here can only be analyzed and interpreted from the inscription on the pedestal.

Tsuchimikado Ryūsui was naturally aware of this, and without saying anything further, he stared at the inscription beneath the pedestal in front of him and began to interpret it aloud, saying:

"[This person is absolutely unexpected. Our order has only fully recorded ten domineering divine pillars, and we cannot truly confirm what kind of being this person is. Seeking the Dao? Domineering? This man seems to be both, or perhaps neither. We cannot determine his true nature.]"

"The historical pattern of the succession of divine thrones is a framework established by the First Lord of the First Throne, the source of all evil. Her dualism has never truly disappeared; it has only become invisible in scale, affecting the entire history of the divine thrones."

"[Therefore, the reason why men are considered absolutely unexpected is because they are not products of the laws governing the divine throne; they are even more extraordinary than the Mercury Serpent, the ruler of the Fourth Throne.]"

"[During the first to third days, everything was confined to a single time and a single universe. Although the dominance and control of the divine throne did not extend to infinite parallel universes, it had already influenced the Third Throne Lord's use of time reversal techniques to attack the Second Throne Lord, giving rise to the possibility of parallel worlds and laying the groundwork for the birth of the Fourth Throne Lord.]"

"[The Mercury Serpent is a monster that flew from the parallel dimensional universe of the God Throne. In a fundamental sense, it is also an existence born from the God Throne universe. This man, however, truly does not belong to the realm of the God Throne universe; he comes from an unknown dimensional world outside the scope of the God Throne's control.]"

Everyone present was astonished upon hearing this, including the heroic spirits.

After all, the heroic spirits came from a different dimension that was not under the rule of the divine throne. It was just unexpected that the statue in front of them also came from a different dimension whose truth was unknown.

Their heroic spirits are powerful, but they are nothing to this world.

The fact that this man was made into a statue and placed here by the cult already proves that he is definitely not ordinary.

Previously, the cult had seen through the true nature of the ten most powerful gods and the characteristics of their laws through unknown means, but with this man, it became impossible to be certain.

If these heroic spirits who came to this world are fish, then this statue before us is probably a fierce dragon crossing the river.

However, compared to the thoughts of the people present, countless viewers had already guessed who it was upon seeing the statue's design and the inscription deciphered by Tsuchimikado Ryusui.

This is the same being who is inseparable from the Lord of the Fourth Heaven, Mercury Serpent, and who also participated in and designed the Fourth Heaven Horror Drama.

Unlike the Mercury Serpent, whose secrets have already been revealed, there are still unclear factors and unresolved mysteries surrounding that man.

"[A man appeared in the universe of the God Throne, encountered the Mercury Serpent, the ruler of the Fourth Throne, and brought the Fourth Throne's supreme unknowns. This man became the Mercury Serpent's close friend, who was overjoyed by him, and together they were active in the era of the Fourth God's rule.]"

"[For the Lord of the Fourth Throne, the man is outside the scope of his existing knowledge, unaffected and uninterrupted by his laws, and overflowing with the unknown. Therefore, for the Mercury Serpent, this is simply the best encounter.]"

"【And the power of men is also strong and sublime. Having recognized the Fourth Throne Lord as his friend, he could not bear to see his friend suffer unbearable torment, nor did he have any intention of seizing the Throne. Therefore, he personally used his own power to create and open up a much larger number of universes within the realm of the Divine Throne, bringing the Throne Lord a brief period of unknown existence and new life.】"

"[At this point, the scope of the Divine Throne's rule expanded to an infinity beyond infinity, ushering in the most prosperous era in the history of the Divine Throne Universe, and the power bestowed upon the Throne Lord became immeasurable.]"

"[In terms of origin, aside from the Lord of the Throne, this man is also the father of countless universes and phenomena. Even in this era, we can still see the traces of the God Throne universe being blessed by this man.]"

Those present, upon seeing this, suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out that this man was the close friend mentioned by the Lord of the Fourth Heavenly Throne.

The fourth Lord of the Heavenly Seats' beloved is the goddess of dusk, and his best friend is someone who brings him endless unknowns. If he could die, the Mercury Serpent would only want to die at the hands of his best friend or beloved.

For the Mercury Serpent, whether it dies at the hands of a close friend who represents the infinite unknown, or in the arms of a beloved, it is the highest form of ending.

Moreover, this man was also responsible for the expansion of the Fourth Heaven's rule to such a terrifying extent.

The inscription describes how the other party single-handedly expanded the world within the territory of the God's Throne.

Those present did not understand or know this.

However, countless viewers have witnessed just how magnificent and numerous the worlds ruled by the throne of the gods truly are.

A single multiverse bubble is equivalent to containing countless universes within it, and these magnificent bubbles form an even larger cosmic sky beneath the realm of the divine throne.

An infinity beyond infinity? The inscription's description is not wrong, after all, the universes beneath the throne of gods are so numerous that they cannot be counted.

Every moment, a universe is being destroyed and a universe is being born, just as cells in the human body undergo metabolism. The universe beneath the throne is also the cellular body of the Lord of the Throne, constantly repeating the cycle of destruction and rebirth.

Tsuchimikado Ryūsui was astonished by the man's identity and power. He raised his hand and gently stroked the blurred inscription on the pedestal in front of him, continuing his efforts to decipher it:

"[The fourth day of the horror drama: This man is also the director behind the scenes. Whether he's just playing along with his friend's antics or indulging his friend's wishes, we can't figure out his motives.]"

"【The Holy King of the Wheel is this man's divine creation, and also the guardian bestowed upon the Goddess of Twilight. She harbors an inexplicable expectation towards the Holy King of the Wheel, always watching everyone's lives from the sidelines of a horror drama, neither interfering, acting, nor participating—a complete spectator.】"

"[Furthermore, Shinku is also a product of this man's nurturing, treated as a disciple. The world she inhabits was likely created and established by this man. Therefore, in a sense, both the Wheel King and Shinku can be seen as this man's divine children.]"

Holy crap!? Is this some kind of big shot?

Upon hearing this, not only Shana and Tsuchimikado Ryusui, but everyone else present was utterly shocked.

The Wheel-Turning Saint King of the Ninth Layer is this man's divine creation, and the Crimson One of the Eighth Layer is this man's disciple.

Just by looking at their power levels, one can tell how incredibly powerful they are. However, one of these two peerless experts can be considered the man's daughter, and the other can be considered his disciple.

This background is truly immense, no less than that of any throne lord. Both his daughter and disciple are domineering gods with the bearing of a high-ranking deity. What kind of person is their father, the one who originated from them?

I don't know, I'm not sure, or I can't even imagine it.

Moreover, even this cult cannot determine the other party's true identity; they do not even know whether it is the God of Seeking the Way or the God of Domination, let alone know anything about it.

However, in terms of power, everyone present was certain that the opponent was by no means weaker than either the domineering or the seeking deity.

Many worlds in the Fourth Day Era were created by others, and some of the saviors among those present had souls from other worlds.

According to the inscription on the monument, the world they lived in may have been created by men.

It's perfectly natural for this group of people to call the man "Father God," but whether he acknowledges it or not depends on his own wishes.

After all, something created arbitrarily is far less thoughtful than something carefully created.

The Holy King of the Wheel was created by someone else, so he can be considered a second-generation god. Other beings born from worlds created by men can only be considered beings from a different generation.

When Shana thought that her world in her previous life might have been created by a man, she realized that she might have had a relationship with him.

Moreover, the fact that Matilda was actually the other party's disciple immediately reminded Shana and Tsuchimikado Ryusui of their past life memories.

They remembered the man named Rhine that Matilda had mentioned, and they had also seen the man wearing a hood that concealed his face.

As Tsuchimikado Ryūsui carefully recalled his past life, he continued to interpret the inscription on the stele beneath the pedestal in front of him:

"[We can only know the great power of men, but we cannot be certain of the principles behind them. However, men do not hide or conceal their desires."]

"[This person craves a 'perfect beginning and end,' that is, a story that reaches a perfect conclusion from start to finish. Therefore, if we say that men are perfectionists, it is more accurate to say that they are driven by greed, wanting to possess everything, like an endless ouroboros constantly devouring its own tail and multiplying.]"

"If the mercury serpent is the embodiment of self-punishment, then man is the embodiment of self-destruction. Although we do not know what kind of principles or phenomena men desire to create, the concept of perfection is an uncertain unknown, something that even men themselves cannot be certain of or touch."

"[Just as Icarus wanted to touch the sun with his wings, and mortals wanted to pluck the stars and the moon, this is a desire that can only be thought of and acted upon, but can never be truly grasped. Therefore, men need constant change, because stagnation means the inability to progress. They can only keep chasing, and no one knows what lies ahead. Even if the end is inevitably destruction, men must still embrace and touch it.]"

"[Because of this constant change, and the inability to be completely solidified, the man possesses an infinite and inexhaustible unknown within him, much like the mercury serpent.]"

"[The desire to make it unstoppable and incomplete is a characteristic inherited by the Chakravartin King, the son of the man. Therefore, our order speculates that the man is trapped in a deadly situation similar to the Mercury Serpent, and the desire to break free has formed the Chakravartin King's prayer for transcendence.]"

"【However, if such a man were a domineering god, there would inevitably be a corresponding self-destructive factor at play, but our order has never observed it. Perhaps the man has concealed it.】"

"[If our cult's conjecture is correct, this man's true form does not exist beneath the Divine Throne Universe. The man remaining in the present universe should be a being of the sense of touch. Since this conjecture arose, our cult has never given up observing the man, until we saw that the words could not be recorded.]"

"【When you gaze directly into the abyss, the abyss also gazes back into you. Our Order has paid a heavy price for our insatiable curiosity. Our Mother of Blood saw what she should not have seen and suffered the consequences.】"

"[The mystery surrounding the man with the divine nature of a serpent remains unsolved. We know he has always been watching us, and he knows our fate, yet he remains indifferent, inactive, and silent.]"

"【The Wheel of Fortune... This is the honorific title our order uses for this man. He has never uttered the name of a god, nor has his true nature been fully revealed.】"
