I'll kill you after I finish this game!

......

Indeed, while personal desires may not always be considered vile, the legal principles that arise from those desires can be quite vicious.

Reinhard, the Golden Beast, has a deep love for all things, which is fundamentally devoid of any concept of evil, but few can bear his twisted love.

Skadi and Matilda's desires were not inherently evil, but the reality they created was an unmanageable situation.

Therefore, Skadi had already made up her mind beforehand that after fulfilling her duties, it was time for her to leave the stage.

"But, Skadi-sama, are you really so comfortable entrusting all the remaining matters to Fujii Ren?"

Although she knew she couldn't dissuade Skadi from anything, Jibril would say whatever needed to be said and asked whatever needed to be asked.

She didn't quite understand why Skadi was so confident that Fujii Ren would handle everything afterward.

"Can that person... defeat that [beast]?"

When Skadi explained that she should hand Reinhardt over to Ren Fujii to deal with, Jibril remained skeptical about whether he could actually do it.

After all, even if Reinhard was an enemy, he was someone that Jibril recognized as the strongest, and even her former lord, Altshu, also recognized Reinhard.

After all, both Matilda and Reinhardt were inextricably linked to the concept of war.

But if we really have to say who can defeat Reinhardt, Jibril believes that besides Skadi and Matilda, it would be Nanami, this equally incomprehensibly strong woman.

Skadi smiled slightly at Jibril's doubts and confusion, glanced at Nanami beside her, and said:

“It’s alright. Although Lian is not mature yet, I believe she can do it. In terms of the intensity of her desire, she is no less than Reinhardt.”

"She was just one step away from reaching the level of [Creation], and with a little more understanding, reaching [Outflow] was almost a certainty, given her potential. But the laws shaped by her desires..."

Nanami shared her assessment of Fujii Ren, saying he was a good person with unquestionable potential; what he needed was the awareness and understanding of a strong individual.

After all, it didn't take Fujii Ren very long to go from being a powerless mortal to this level.

The problem is that Fujii Ren is also domineering. Even if he can defeat Reinhardt, what will happen after that?

“Ren will also be self-aware. Among us, only Mary is suitable to sit here.” Skadi thought of Fujii Ren and Mary, and her expression suddenly turned somewhat helpless and sorrowful as she said, “I didn’t want Mary to sit here at all. Although she is the most suitable, she… is too kind.”

Yes, being too kind can become a weakness in a domineering god, especially in the case of the Lord of the Throne.

Skadi could see the warm, twilight light of reincarnation in Mary, but Mary herself had not yet truly seen herself.

After all, it is the hardest thing for a person to see their own true nature. When Skadi saw through Mary's almost unchanging nature, she felt she had to protect her, but she was also troubled by it.

The audience was puzzled. Was Mary the most suitable person to sit in?

But isn't she a seeker of the Way who looks inward and strives for growth?

The gods who seek the Dao cannot be seated on a throne.

Why exactly is Mary considered the most suitable person to sit in?

"...It's a desire for change!"

In the Teyvat Sky Keep, within the Pure Land of One Heart, Lei, sitting cross-legged in the void above, watched Skadi's words on the video and keenly realized that both the Seeking God and the Overlord God were developed and derived from personal desires.

This is somewhat similar to the Eye of God in Teyvat, but they are fundamentally different.

In the world of Teyvat, the "Eye of God" is an organ of elemental magic used to guide elemental power.

When faced with circumstances beyond their control, people always lament their own powerlessness.

But at the steepest turning point in life, if a mortal's desire reaches its peak, the gaze of the gods will be cast down. This is the Eye of God, an external magical organ obtained by those who are approved by the gods.

Both the Seeking God and the Overlord God are monsters who elevate personal desires to the point of distorting reality and self; the so-called holders of the Eye of God are not even qualified to be compared with them.

Skadi would say that Mary is the most suitable person to sit in, which is reminiscent of the previous video in which Reinhardt 'cursed' Mary.

The person became somewhat less divine, but more human, which immediately reminded Lei Film of the most basic question of 'desire'.

Whether it's a human or a god, everything changes, and it's not impossible for the other party to change as well.

After all, the original Margaret was a god devoid of emotion and unaware of good, evil, right, or wrong.

Born with a curse that caused the deaths of her parents and caused repeated beheadings due to contact with others, Mary was naturally unable to communicate with people or develop any semblance of common sense. At that time, Mary was like a child.

Even when the naturally gifted transcendent were led to the guillotine and beheaded, no strong emotions arose within them; they simply let themselves 'die'.

Clearly, if they wanted to, mere mortals could never harm a god.

Compared to Mary today, it's hard to imagine that Mary's past was so strange and twisted.

The God who was once emotionless and indifferent now has feelings, prayers, and desires.

"What is the most suitable person to rule the world, someone that makes Skadi feel inferior? What is it that desires, and what legal principles have been born from it?"

Lei Movie became very curious at this moment, after all, Skadi was also about to become a domineering god.

This made her realize that she was not suitable to sit in the seat of honor compared to Mary, and she even compared Mary to all the other goddesses, saying that Mary was the most suitable one.

What exactly is the other party's advantage? Lei Movie knew that the foundations of those seeking the Dao were terrifying.

However, compared to other powerful individuals, Mary doesn't seem to excel in combat.

Now, because of the hurt she suffered in the past, she no longer wants to be involved in the troubles of the world.

However, the other gods on the continent of Teyvat are probably also curious about the concept of 'divine rule'.

The world depicted in the video is also ruled by gods, except that the gods in the video are so powerful that they are completely unable to reach their level.

So Lei Movie and the other gods were curious about how the gods in the video actually governed the world.

After all, the world they manage is not like their small, isolated territory; it's an endless world.

Returning to the video, Nanami also knows a little about what her friend Skadi is worried about.

"The transformation of a Seeking God into a Tyrant God is extremely rare, almost impossible, but Mary... does indeed meet the conditions for transformation."

Nanami also has her own insights into the desire of the Seeker God to change, to reverse the laws of the Seeker God, and it must be the Seeker God himself who actively changes his own desire.

Furthermore, this desire must also reach the level of a domineering god, and the difficulty of this project is countless times greater than creating a completely new domineering god.

Nanami also told Jibril about the absurd difficulty of this matter, although it is very difficult for a Seeker God to autonomously transform into a Tyrant God.

However, given Mary's unique circumstances and her rich experiences since her death, no matter how difficult the project may be, Mary does indeed largely meet these conditions.

Viewers from countless dimensions also understood why it is said that seeking the Dao and transforming into domineering is extremely difficult.

After all, people like Skadi are the kind of crazy people who take their personal desires to the level of obsession, madness, twistedness, and arrogance.

It is easy to imagine the immense inner desire required for both seeking the Way and wielding power.

In the Diamond Sutra, the Buddha said to Subhuti: “Listen carefully, and I will tell you: Good men and good women who have aroused the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi should abide in this way and subdue their minds in this way.”

Subdue their minds?

This statement is simple, but as long as one is an intelligent being, one's thoughts are bound to be diverse and complex. How easy is it to control one's own mind?

But what's even more difficult is—how to get there!

It means that you have made a great vow, and you need to maintain this mindset.

Emotional beings are sometimes generous, sometimes passionate, sometimes calm, sometimes sad—their emotions change so much.

People can act impulsively, and naturally, they will feel regret in the future.

It's impossible to stay in one's mindset for long.

The same applies to becoming a god in the video. To become a Buddha (god), how can one retain their original mindset and never let it fade away?

Only perseverance, an unprecedented level of perseverance!

Whether they are seekers of the Way or tyrants, they all transform this persistence into a near-obsessive and fanatical madness.

Therefore, the transformation of the Seeking God into the Overlord God seems to others merely a matter of changing one's mindset and desires.

But for those who embark on this path, how difficult and impossible is it to change their obsessions and desires?

Many people live for their obsessions. Asking them to forget or change is almost like asking them to die, turning them into a walking corpse.

Among the countless viewers, there are many who have strong convictions, and they can understand the difficulty that Nanami said in seeking the Way and transforming into tyranny.

Mary's own qualities were truly one in a million.

First, you must be a born transcendent being, that is, an existence with a soul at the "Outflow" level.

Furthermore, since your experiences haven't yet solidified your mindset, you can't force a change in how it will evolve. You can only gradually change it through continuous contact and communication.

Furthermore, it's highly uncertain whether this change will be made according to others' wishes. (Carl/Rezer: This is a massive and incredibly difficult undertaking!)

He instructed Mary to learn about emotions and to guide her transformation from seeking truth to being domineering.

It sounds reasonable, but almost every step, especially in establishing communication and contact with Mary, had a butterfly effect.

Who can guarantee that Mary's desire will necessarily turn into a desire for external dominance?

At least in the countless cycles of reincarnation known to Reiji and Mercury, there was a Valkyrie named Margaret who was born due to Skadi's excessive influence.

At that time, they all had a good relationship with Matilda.

However, since the Tai Chi they achieved was not a cycle of reincarnation, Mary, Skadi, Ren Fujii, and Matilda were bound to clash to the death, and even Mercury Serpent would get beaten up.

What? You're asking where Reinhardt went?

Of course, he was the first to be eliminated. No matter how powerful Reinhard was, he couldn't withstand being ganged up on by four guys, and he died before he could achieve the Asura Path.

The commotion forced Mercury Serpent to initiate Eternal Return and rewrite the script with his close friend Razer.

So no matter how difficult it seemed to others, no one who personally participated in the behind-the-scenes work of transforming Mary felt it was both mentally exhausting and incredibly difficult.

"Although Mary's desires have gradually changed, I am worried about the inevitable calamity she will encounter after taking the throne."

Skadi herself knows many secrets of the divine throne, and is therefore even more worried that after she is gone, Mary will face the inevitable calamity of the divine throne changing hands (Mercury/Always: You don't need to worry about this, little one).

She knew that Mary's reasoning had undeniable flaws, and she worried that the silly girl would be driven to her death by her love.

When I was educating Mary, I told her very seriously that excessive pampering was absolutely unacceptable.

At the very least, one should strive to achieve what Skadi and one of her friends, the Hellish Primal Sea, did: to govern the world with benevolence while also incorporating appropriate cruelty.

To be honest, I know Mary will listen, but I don't know if she can actually do it.

Jibril and Nanami knew what Skadi was worried about, and they exchanged a helpless and speechless glance. Jibril said in a sour tone:

"You really dote on that God of Seeking the Way who has almost no fighting power."

How could she not feel jealous? Mary hadn't even taken her seat yet, and her master was already worrying about the difficulties the other might encounter.
