Chapter 202 The dust has settled
"How was it? Are you satisfied with this 'experiment'?"
In the ruins of the God-Making Workshop, Mu Feng stood on the intact platform, calmly watching the Mechanical God arrogantly proclaim its birth to the world.
A question, its target unknown, suddenly rang out, stirring up a ripple in the deathly darkness behind the high platform.
Then, from the darkness that was like a swamp that swallowed all light, a man slowly emerged.
Dotore tightened his heavy raven feather cloak, waving a test tube filled with an eerie blue potion in his hand, a faint smile playing on his lips beneath his mask.
"From the perspective of an experiment's 'recorder,' this was undoubtedly a brilliant experiment."
"The knowledge of a god, the body of a god, and the energy of a god—a perfect combination, isn't it?"
The "Doctor" pushed up the raven-beak mask on his face, a strange expression flashing across his face beneath the mask.
“To create artificial gods from nothingness almost out of thin air, although the first mechanical gods were not perfect, it was still an unimaginable achievement.”
"I must say, you are truly a genius."
"Please allow me, on behalf of all 'I's, as a scholar, to express my respect for this great experiment."
As he spoke, "Doctor" brushed off his heavy cloak and bowed slightly in courtesy to the ruins of the God-Making Workshop.
For the arrogant Second Seat of the Fatui, who is also a top scholar in Teyvat, such recognition, even if it's just for show, is quite rare.
Even among his colleagues who were executives, there were only a handful he truly respected.
"Let's skip the formalities, 'Doctor.' Since both sides have reached an agreement, that means..."
"Our deal is done."
The mechanical god's arrogant announcement rang out below the workshop. Mu Feng stood up expressionlessly, his tone indifferent.
According to the contract, the witnessing of the "ascension to godhood" has ended, and now it is time for the Fools to fulfill their obligations.
The rare compliment was abruptly cut short, yet Dotole's face showed no sign of annoyance.
"It seems you have urgent business to attend to. Scholars' time is valuable, so I won't delay your plans any longer."
"The subject of 'blasphemy' has been completed. The emergence of artificial gods has shattered the veil of false divinity. This feast of god-making, the appetizer, has come to a perfect end."
“I will faithfully fulfill my promise, and from now on, neither I nor the Fools will interfere with your actions.”
Dotole smiled, but half of that smile was hidden in the shadows beneath the ruins, giving it an eerie quality.
"However... there is another matter."
The doctor's smile deepened, the blue needle on his earring flickered in the darkness, and the raven feather cloak on his shoulder emitted a captivating light from his empty eye sockets.
This experiment of creating a god has ended, but the next experiment awaits his "witnessing".
It was a grander, more secretive, and even more thrilling experiment.
The executive gracefully extended his hand, and in his hand appeared a chess piece shaped like a chess piece.
The chess piece is entirely ice blue. The moment it appears, the surrounding air seems to freeze in the cold, and if you get close, you can faintly hear the howling of a blizzard.
Winter arrives, representing the heart of the god who governs with ice.
"On behalf of the noble Ice Queen, I hereby lend you the Heart of the Ice God."
The command was brief, just like the consistent style of that ice and snow god, like the blizzard that shrouds the winter sky year after year.
But the secrets it reveals are perhaps unknown to anyone but the Ice Queen herself.
Mu Feng silently accepted the Heart of God. The icy crystals reflected in his unfathomable pupils, yet they did not stir the slightest ripple.
Then, his figure disappeared from the high platform.
The "Doctor" walked to the edge of the platform, overlooking the battle below, his face still bearing an inscrutable smile.
He believed that the secrets of this world, truly known to the one sitting in the Winter Palace, were far beyond the scope of what the Seven Rulers of the Mortal World should be able to grasp.
As the leader of the Fools, "The Clown" must know a lot, but getting information from that tight-lipped old fox is no easy task.
"Girl" Columbia might know a little, and "Captain" Capitano might know a little too.
As a scholar, isn't figuring out the truth of the world his lifelong pursuit?
In Sumeru, he saw an opportunity, an opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time.
This is an opportunity to see the truth of the world.
"This is getting more and more interesting, isn't it?"
"Ontology."
Then they walked into the darkness and disappeared.
……
The war of the gods ended very quickly; in fact, the real "battle" never even began.
Years later, in the memoirs of those who participated in the Sumeru City Incident, it was written as follows.
According to the script, after the villains spout their nonsense, they should shout words like "friendship" and "justice" and start a righteous brawl, eventually achieving a hard-won victory.
but in fact……
Mu Feng emerged from behind the mechanical god, who had just been paralyzed after announcing the birth of the god, and, to Azar's incredulous expression, pierced through the mechanical god's chest and extracted the Heart of the Grass God.
One hour of charging provides two minutes of talk time.
The Kyoto Shinkai brand Gundam is something you deserve.
"You! Why?! Why did you betray me?!"
Before being dragged away by the swarming disciplinary officers, Hazard angrily questioned them, his eyes blazing with fury.
Mu Feng could only shrug helplessly, indicating that the client would resolutely refuse to take the blame.
The contract clearly states that he is responsible for helping the Great Sage ascend to godhood, but he doesn't specify how long the ascension will take.
Even logging in for a second is still logging in, so just tell me whether you logged in or not.
As for the reason? Well, sorry, your trial pack has expired. Lifetime membership is priced differently.
"This case tells us that investment is risky, and one must be cautious when creating idols."
Mu Feng picked up Naxida and watched as the great sage, whose lifelong reputation was ruined by wordplay, was dragged away by the disciplinary officer. He shook his head with regret.
It’s so unpredictable that the big intestine wraps up the small intestine.
Next, it will be time to restore order in the city and purge the remaining followers of the leaderless sages.
However, those are issues that Seno, as the head of the Great Wind Agency, should be concerned about.
The uproar over the creation of gods, spearheaded by the great sage Azhar, came to an end in such a farcical manner.
But... isn't something a little off?
Before leaving, Nasita looked back at the ruins of the God-Making Workshop, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.
Perhaps she's overthinking it; I hope so.
