Celia was completely stunned: "You, you, you..."
"Hello, I'm Ross."
New author, new work! Please add it to your favorites and read it regularly!
Chapter 2 is finished, I've summoned the evil god.
"Ro, Ro, Ro... Ross?"
Celia blurted it out.
Fortunately, at that moment, Elena was directing several witness classmates to escort the heretics and civilians out, and did not notice Celia deep inside the cave.
The others also didn't hear because of the various shouts.
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over…
The girl panicked, losing all her composure from before.
I've made a huge mistake!
What to do? What to do? What to do!
"Don't be so afraid. Although I don't know how those gods slandered me, don't worry, I'm easy to talk to."
Ross's voice came through, and unlike the legends that he could kill a bunch of people with just a word, it sounded like that of an ordinary, handsome boy.
Hmm... why isn't the evil god three-headed and six-armed, but rather a handsome human figure?
Seeing that Ross hadn't done anything terrible, Celia gradually calmed down.
"I……"
A thought popped into Celia's mind—
Should we tell Mentor Elena?
She extinguished it the moment it appeared.
No, I can't tell her! What if Ross just tears off his mask and kills them all?
The most urgent thing is to stay calm and try to persuade the evil god to retreat...
"Hello, my name is Celia."
Celia nervously introduced herself using her inner voice, which amused Ross, who was observing his surroundings.
"Greetings, Celia, my faithful follower. Did you encounter any difficulties in summoning me here?"
“I’m not your follower…” Celia immediately denied, but looking at the smiling Ross, she quickly backed down, “Okay, let’s just say I am.”
They wish they could wipe out all heretics that believe in you, and make all traces of you disappear. This is love turned to hate, yes... that's right!
"I didn't encounter any difficulties. I'm sorry, Lord Ross, this summoning... was purely accidental." Celia dared not lie. The Holy Court's books recorded that the evil god Ross was almost omniscient and omnipotent. She didn't think she could hide her little thoughts from him.
"Oh? Is that so? No problem, the summoning contract is already established, there are no difficulties. Now make a wish, what is your wish?" Ross smiled.
Seeing that Ross was so easy to talk to, Celia's fear slowly faded. But when she thought about how she would have to pay the same or even greater price to ask an evil god for a wish, she didn't let it cloud her judgment. She started thinking about what to wish for so that the evil god would leave quickly... Hopefully.
But for a moment, I couldn't think of what wish to make so that Ross wouldn't have to pay too high a price when he left.
"Um, I'm sorry, Lord Ross, I have no wish."
"No wish? Then there's nothing I can do." Ross changed the subject. "You can help me fulfill my wish and complete the summoning contract."
"Huh? I'll grant your wish? Me?"
"Of course, but you don't have that ability yet, maybe you will in the future."
"future?"
"Yes, I will keep watching you until you fulfill my wish."
"No! I've figured out what I want to wish for!"
The thought that a terrifying evil god was watching her whether she was studying or eating, and that it might even affect her when she was taking a bath or sleeping... immediately caused Celia to abandon her desireless state and a surge of desires to emerge.
You can't make wishes recklessly; the harder a wish is to fulfill, the greater the price you'll pay. Recalling the description of the evil god, Celia cautiously said, "I hope to finish making the puppet before the final exams so I can take the test."
"An interesting wish."
Celia turned her attention back to reality, but did not notice the magical puppets around her.
Where is the puppet?
"Your wish is to finish it before the end of the semester, not for me to conjure it up," Ross said calmly.
The truth is, he couldn't create a puppet out of thin air.
Even if he is the most powerful and only evil god in legend.
What's the best thing about time travel? It's traveling to the game world you're currently playing and inheriting your max-level account.
That's how Ross ended up. He was transported to a game world called "Starfall." Unfortunately, before he was transported, he was using a max-level account to fight the final boss, and on the highest difficulty of all—the highest difficulty—to defeat twelve main gods in a row. He wanted to achieve a twelve-kill streak with gorgeous and elegant skills, post it on Bilibili to gain some popularity, but as soon as he entered the battle, everything went wrong. His original keyboard and mouse controls turned into manual control, and the gauntlet battle turned into a righteous mob brawl.
The scene was so chaotic that Ross was only spared from being killed on the spot thanks to the fact that the game's stats, like those of Stellaris, could be repeatedly farmed, and that he had painstakingly accumulated near-maximum lifesteal, health regeneration, defense, and health bars over thousands of hours.
Finally, the twelve main gods, realizing they couldn't kill him, joined forces to seal him away. He then familiarized himself with his own power in the sealed place, until now, when he sensed someone calling him, he projected his consciousness onto the summoner through the connection of summoning.
His consciousness was projected, but his body and power were still sealed. For the time being, he dared not do anything, for fear of accidentally killing the little girl in front of him. He still needed to develop her and confirm her tolerance level.
As for the puppet, it's called a puppet in cultivation novels and a robot in modern times. It's one of the abilities in "Starfall" that enhances combat power. It can cooperate with its controller in battle and has combo skills. It's very useful in the early and mid-game, but becomes a mascot in the late game when its stats can't keep up.
Is this girl's only wish to own a magic puppet?
"Just to confirm one last time, your wish is to finish making the puppet before final exams and take the test?"
Celia hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Why don't you just ask me to give you the strongest puppet? You clearly wanted me to conjure one just now." Ross's wish was so simple that he was a little embarrassed.
“I can’t control a powerful puppet… A puppet I made myself is much easier to control.” Celia just wanted to quickly complete the summoning contract; the less the evil god played a role in her wish, the less price she would have to pay.
She originally intended to conjure a puppet directly, but after Ross failed to do so, she calmed down and decided to make it herself, while the evil god would only need to offer a few pointers!
Ross sensed that Celia was not being sincere and said nothing.
"The contract has been signed. I will now assist you in creating the puppet."
"Excuse me... what is the price?" Celia asked.
"You'll know once your wish comes true."
Ross has decided that he cannot let this girl go.
He didn't know if anyone else would summon him in the future, but for now, he only had this seemingly silly and innocent girl, and he was determined to hold on to her tightly.
However, assisting Celia in creating a magical puppet, no matter how powerful, is not equivalent to asking her to break the seal. It's like asking someone to help you calculate 1+1 while he wants them to earn a hundred million for him.
However, this wasn't a major problem. Having mastered the use of his power, Ross, as the sole designated evil god by the gods, had already figured out what to do. In any case, he would have to help the girl unseal him even if she didn't want to in the end.
That dark and sunless sealed land was even more unbearable than being a satellite suspended in the sky!
After becoming familiar with all his powers there, all Ross could do was cultivate and wait for his strength to reach the required level so he could break the seal from within. He never expected that a thousand years would pass in the blink of an eye. Based on the current progress, it was estimated that breaking the seal by force would take another thousand years; only an external release would eliminate the need for a physical break.
Rose can't wait that long.
Girl, you're the one!
"Oh, is that so? Does that mean I have to slowly collect the materials to make it?" Celia asked in surprise.
Ross remained silent, only nodding.
"That's great!"
I have to do everything myself, while the evil god doesn't have to do anything. The price must be very simple!
In reality, Celia followed Elena and the others out of the cave. She looked at the bound heretics and glanced cautiously at Ross, afraid that he would ask her to release the heretics. However, she found that his focus did not seem to be on the heretics, but rather... on the emaciated civilians.
Celia explained to herself, “These people are ordinary people who have been… seduced by heretics. Because they have been seduced, they no longer work and have no source of income, so they have become like this.”
"It's not that simple," Ross said thoughtfully. "What are your plans for dealing with them?"
“Mentor Elena said she would send them to the church in Silverfrost Town, and let the church take them home and provide them with supplies for a period of time.”
Why does the evil god not focus on his followers, but instead focus on these ordinary people who are being used by them?
Celia was a little curious.
There is no answer.
Ross remained silent after that, and Celia followed nervously behind everyone else.
The group walked for a long time until they reached a town, where Elena, who was leading the way, finally stopped.
"We've arrived in Silverfrost Town. We used a directional teleporter to get out, but there isn't one here. We can only take the Shadow Patrol Vehicle back to Shining City. Luckily, there's a patrol point here."
A boy raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, won't it be too conspicuous for us to be escorting so many people in a patrol car?"
“We are all trainee knights of the Holy See. It is our duty to escort heretics. We should let everyone witness it and there is no need to hide it.”
While Elena was explaining, Celia took the initiative to explain to Ross in her mind: "The Shadow Patrol Vehicle is a high-speed mobile combat vehicle that can only travel on special routes. However, it is not used for combat, but for the convenience of everyone's travel. It is just that very few people use it."
According to the book, the evil god and his retinue are ancient gods who may not understand these new things. I'll explain more to him; perhaps I can win his favor and be safer afterwards. Celia thought to herself.
"Another world high-speed train, huh? I know, at least I've seen something familiar."
Ross looked at the patrol point in front of him with some emotion. This thing was similar in appearance to a high-speed train, with a fixed route, high speed, and large passenger capacity. However, instead of laying tracks, there were elemental furnaces along the path, one every few hundred meters, used to guide the patrol vehicle's path and replenish magic power. The patrol vehicle floated on the ground and could also be called a magic levitation train.
"Speaking of which, I was the one who came up with the name 'Swift Shadow Patrol Vehicle'."
The fantasy game "Starfall" blends open-world and simulation management, allowing players to experience everything from lone wanderers to battlefield warriors, from town mayors to kings, from raising wives to collecting generals, from building matchboxes to transforming the world. You can experience anything you want, and simply renaming something is no big deal.
The NPCs inside can also evolve on their own, and each choice will lead to a different ending, including killing the NPCs in the mission.
It felt like a real otherworld, and now that I think about it, it really is a real otherworld.
"Huh? You named this?" Celia was stunned, and asked in surprise, "Did you create this?"
"You could also say I created it."
"However, history books say that the Swift Shadow Chariot was a miracle created by the gods. Later, you brought 500 years of calamity, which caused many miraculous technologies to be lost. The Swift Shadow Chariot was one of them. It was only in recent decades that it was put back into use. It was a long-distance travel tool second only to the Directional Teleporter and the Wings of the Wind God."
"Tsk, as expected of the gods, the modifications are very thorough."
Rose wasn't surprised, though he was somewhat annoyed, but he was more focused on something else—
"Has it been over a thousand years?"
Ross had no idea how many game years he had spent grinding for attributes in the game; it could be hundreds of years, maybe even a thousand.
It's also possible that I've been in the sealed place for hundreds of years.
In the later stages of this game, the management and character development aspects become unplayable. Without fighting the final boss, the only option is to grind your own stats. So, he retreats to the background, focusing on improving his attributes in preparation for the final battle, no longer managing government affairs or pursuing technological advancements—the game doesn't support interstellar content, so the technology is already at its limit.
That said, high-speed rail has only been in use for the last few decades? Could it be that after the final battle, the development of the post-Starfall era relies entirely on archaeology?
Ross felt more confident. Although he couldn't gain an advantage by being familiar with the game and having foresight, these familiar things would allow him to quickly integrate into the world and avoid being eliminated... No, as long as I can get out, I'm invincible. What's there to be afraid of being eliminated?
It's only right that I eliminate others.
"Lord Ross, besides the Shadow Patrol Vehicle, do you recognize anything else?"
Celia glanced at a motorcycle that seemed to be made of bones and was engulfed in flames as it passed by. "Like this one."
"Ghost Fire Chariot?" Ross was slightly taken aback. "This chariot... wasn't originally like this. It was just an ordinary skeleton earth dragon, but I installed the Ghost Fire mod to make it ignite, so I named it Ghost Fire Chariot."
How did mod stuff get mixed up here? Take back what I said earlier about this being a real alternate world; it really is a game world I've been transported to.
“M…Mood? What is Mood?” Celia asked.
"A force from outside the world."
"Oh, I get it! I heard from others that when the Ghostfire Chariot is completed, a mysterious power will envelop the entire chariot, causing it to burst into flames, but these flames have no heat and won't hurt anyone. It's very mysterious... So this is the power of 'Mood'? Is this a miracle you created using power from outside the world?"
"...Theoretically, yes."
Celia felt that Ross wasn't lying to her, but what he said was completely different from what was in the book.
However, Celia didn't know the specific history of things like the Border Patrol Vehicle and the Ghost Fire Chariot, so she was only skeptical of what Ross said.
On the way to the patrol point and onto the patrol vehicle, Ross pointed out the names and backgrounds of many magical and technological products with an otherworldly style, some of which were related to the "Mood" power from outside the world.
Celia wasn't entirely clear on what he was saying, so she decided to go to the library to confirm it when she got back to school.
Once inside the patrol vehicle, Celia suddenly remembered something.
