After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

[Since we have such a rare opportunity, should we try cutting it up?]

Just as children enjoy taking apart toys to see what's inside, perhaps every living being in the universe inherited primal violence and curiosity from the very beginning.

The system was eager to try, but the situation was too complicated and chaotic. No one could have imagined that the goddess would stuff the lungs of the goddess of nature in front of Oswald.

They destroyed the wreckage, and Oswald fell into a coma. As a result, Oswald's lungs convulsed, and he has been convulsing ever since.

(I still don't understand, why did she create a body for herself? Was she trying to defeat her opponent in their territory?)

Oswald, in his spirit form, pinched his chin and continued to ask: (And it doesn't make sense, why would she need lungs?)

[She must have traveled to other worlds and visited some humanoid deities. Innate deities are often not as powerful as acquired deities, and many acquired humanoid deities are very famous.]

(Humanoid?)

This was the first time Oswald had ever heard this word. Could it be that humans have many distant relatives?

The system waved its paw, [Don't worry about it, it's just convergent evolution on a cosmic scale, and you're very likely the latecomers, imitating the predecessors.]

Oswald knew about convergent evolution, using crabs as an example, that many species become more and more like crabs as they evolve, but in fact they are not crabs and their genes are completely different.

After chatting for a while, Oswald urged the system to start operating. If he had the professional equipment, he would have liked to do a slice-and-slice study himself.

The system raised a scalpel, looking just like a character from some kind of side-scrolling 2D game. Oswald watched intently as the system raised and lowered the scalpel, and with a crisp snap, the scalpel was knocked away from the system's hand.

The scene abruptly changed as a skeletal finger, thicker than a millstone, emerged from the ground and gripped the beating lung.

The system darted behind Oswald, who felt a sense of déjà vu about the scene.

Who cares, change is a good thing!

Without any hesitation, Oswald took out his physical body from the spatial dimension and pulled the system inside with him.

With his consciousness injected, the moment Oswald opened his eyes, he directly manipulated the Corruption Chains to bind the bone fingers, but then two other bone fingers somehow clamped onto him as well.

As both sides exerted their strength simultaneously, space twisted and trembled instantly. Oswald lost his sight in a flash, the wind howled in his ears, and his heavy body felt as if it had fallen into an abyss.

[Warning, the host is being pulled into another psionic space]

(At this point, please don't install any proper operating system, okay?)

Oswald then realized that the bone hand was indeed one of the divine remains, and it possessed multiple powers.

At least, this thing can freely enter and exit the psionic spaces of the two goddesses, making it even more useful than a key.

In other words, the bone hand can pull him down, and it can also take him out!

With a splash, Oswald fell into a bitter yet scalding ocean.

[Don't drink it! The water is poisonous and will burn your skin. Get out of there immediately!]

Oswald obediently did as instructed, quickly separating from his physical body and stuffing himself into the system space. His soul slowly floated out from the strange ocean, and the system also emerged, still shaken.

[Thankfully, the host is an undead, otherwise your respiratory system would be ruined the moment it enters this environment.]

Oswald shrugged. "Adventures are always accompanied by accidents and good fortune."

However, after hearing what the system said, he finally noticed the strangeness of his surroundings.

If the psychic space of the Goddess of Life is a standard hellish scene with endless flames and thick smoke, then the ceaseless storms, lightning, and thunder overhead are even more terrifying than the end of the world.

The ocean stretched to the horizon, the air shrouded in a thin layer of pale yellow haze. A few patches of land that could barely be considered islands were barren, covered only by a single, flowing, twisting mass of lava.

Oswald fell silent. Damn it, his chains of corruption had broken at some point, and that key... Bone Hand had slipped away!

[This place doesn't seem like a psionic space; it's more like a preserved environment from her past.]

The system clicked its tongue in amazement. None of these goddesses were clean. At least the Goddess of Life's spiritual energy space environment was evolved from energy. The Goddess of Nature, on the other hand, although it was unclear how she did it, actually brought in the entire environment of the material world.

Alright, alright. All the institutions in the universe have repeatedly issued orders strictly prohibiting the theft of matter from the material universe. Whether it is the microcosm of the technological world or the psionic space of the magical world, let alone five kilograms, not even five grams are allowed to be privately possessed. Approval and registration are required.

Having private possession of resources is a privilege that the system still has certain privileges for!

[Host, this system's computing power is insufficient. Could you assess the weight of matter in this world?]

Oswald looked left and right, scratched his face, and thought, "Who can figure this out?"

(Tongzi, haven't you heard that you can't measure the sea with a bushel?)

At first, Oswald expected that the little world of the goddess of nature would be a scene of birdsong and fragrant flowers, full of vitality.

As it turned out, he underestimated nature, or rather, the nature at the time of the birth of the goddess of nature was probably what he saw before him as a monstrous sight.

Scorching ocean, raging sky, toxic air, exposed areas... I recommend that nature lovers come here to experience the harmonious beauty between humanity and nature.

(Isn't it said that psionic spaces would collapse under the weight of matter? This one hasn't collapsed.)

Oswald glanced at the system. This guy was definitely hiding a lot of secrets, and Oswald could sense the system's instigation in many events.

[This is what a law-abiding psychic space looks like]

(Following the rules...) Oswald was speechless. How could he place his hopes on other people following the rules? Next time, he might as well just say there was no way.

Thick bolts of lightning pounded the sea, and a fierce wind whipped up torrential rain, making Oswald's vision increasingly blurry.

He no longer dared to imagine the psychic space of the Goddess of Laws; he guessed the planet was still in a gaseous state.

While goddesses are called goddesses, at least natural goddesses can study biology, but it's hard to say whether a goddess of law even knows her gender or has a physical form.

The universe is so vast that it can contain all abstractions.

Oswald drifted around searching for the Bone Hand's trail. The thin, yellowish mist in the air was already annoying enough, and the rain was getting heavier.

Forced to use his clairvoyance skill, Oswald looked around and then turned his attention back to the seabed.

The system continued its incessant chatter, criticizing the irrationality of things like gods and emphasizing the importance of the system in performing tasks.

[Host, there's a saying this system deeply agrees with: Civilization itself has no meaning; it only has meaning when you're part of it. The suffering of survival stems from the narrowness of civilization, but as we move towards a wider world, that narrow civilization will gradually die out.]

Therefore, the concept of a deity is a false one. She transcends civilization yet is trapped in this world, and even bending down to help is a form of suffering.

Oswald was annoyed by it. (What exactly are you trying to say?)

The system trembled with an electrical hum as it returned to Oswald's shoulder.

[We've probably been targeted by some god, host.]
