Chapter 540 Two Gods
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and a strange mannequin dressed in a servant's uniform walked in with a slightly mechanical pace.
Its body was a little stiff, and in its hands it held steadily a large plate of sumptuous food and a pot of water.
It walked to the table and placed the food on the table with precise but slightly stiff movements. Then, the body without a head and mouth turned gently, glanced mechanically at everyone, and slowly turned its gaze to the opened secret compartment. Its limbs froze slightly for a moment, as if the internal operating program had been briefly stuck, but soon, it seemed to have been recalibrated and resumed its normal action mode.
"This was sent here by order of Lord Aglaya. Please enjoy it." The voice sounded without any emotion, cold and ethereal, making it impossible to guess its source.
After saying that, it retreated along the predetermined route like a programmed machine, leaving behind only the open door and the food on the table with an enticing aroma.
San Yueqi's eyes were instantly attracted by the food, and her stomach also started to growl in cooperation, as if urging her to eat it quickly.
"Eat something first. Only when you are full will you have the energy to continue your research." As she spoke, she reached out and picked up a piece of bread without any hesitation.
She took a big bite, her cheeks puffed up instantly, and a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.
"March... We are still surprised that the mannequin suddenly came in, and we don't know if there is anything wrong with the food... You..." Lin Yu hurriedly stretched out his hand and looked at March Seven in a daze. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something to dissuade him.
But when his eyes fell on the adorable look of March Seven stuffing food into his mouth, worry and helplessness intertwined in his heart. Finally, he slowly put down his hand, sighed helplessly, and stopped talking. He just watched March Seven enjoy the food quietly.
"Hmm...the food...is not poisonous~it's great!" She said vaguely, with her mouth full of bread, looking extremely cute.
"Haha...little Sanyue is still like this." Ji Zi stood aside, watching this scene, smiling slightly, with a hint of pampering and tolerance in her eyes.
So, she gently placed the booklet on the table and called everyone over, "Don't worry about so much for now, come and enjoy this wonderful meal. Maybe after eating and drinking, we will have more energy to solve these mysteries."
Walter picked up a piece of fruit, took a bite, and said thoughtfully, "Aglaya's behavior is really unpredictable. She first withheld some of her money from us, and now she's sending us food. What is she planning?"
Jizi swallowed the food in her mouth and responded, "Whatever her purpose is, at present, she doesn't seem to have any intention of harming us."
"Maybe." Walter said, looking at the open door of the room.
...
After everyone rested for a while, Aglaya returned to the room.
She looked at the booklet on the table, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
Before Aglaia could make any move, Jizi took the initiative and asked her, "Aglaia, we have some new speculations while waiting, and we would like to discuss them with you."
"We speculate that the gods may have experienced death and resurrection, and their authority has been sealed here and guarded by you. Is this true?"
Aglaya was slightly startled, and was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Why do you have such thoughts? The truth behind this is far more complicated than you think. The affairs of the gods do hide many unknown secrets, but there are some things that I cannot easily tell you."
"Aglaiya, we know this matter is not simple, but now we are facing a common crisis. If we cannot solve these mysteries, both this temple and the world may fall into great danger. If you can tell us some clues, perhaps we can find a way to solve the problem."
"What's more, you didn't attack us. Based on your investigation, you must have known something, right?" Ji Zi continued.
"According to records, there is indeed a force called the Star Train, but it is after all outside the interstellar space. I cannot trust you based on rumors. Moreover, you have left some people behind and established a base there. Your movements are very suspicious."
"I have brought them back and placed them here so that I can monitor your movements properly. It makes sense." Aglaya explained.
You... didn't do anything to them, did you? Lin Yu asked, his brows knitted tightly in an instant, the original gentleness in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by frost-like coldness.
It seemed as if he would take action immediately if Aglaya gave an unsatisfactory answer.
Aglaya felt the coldness in Lin Yu's words. She looked into Lin Yu's eyes calmly and said slowly, "I didn't hurt them. I just temporarily restricted their freedom of movement to ensure that they would not do anything unexpected before I fully understood the situation. After all, there are too many hidden things in this temple, and I can't be careless at all."
"And I also moved that train here, and there was a little guy on the way who kept saying things like 'slow down, don't break it'."
Ji Zi gently pulled the corner of Lin Yu's clothes, signaling him not to get too excited. "Aglaiya, we understand that you have doubts about us, but we are here to solve the possible crisis, not to cause trouble. We hope to be honest with you."
Aglaya looked at them with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, and finally spoke, "The gods were indeed defeated and their authority was sealed, but I am not sure whether they will be resurrected. The purpose of the existence of this temple is not only to guard the seal, but also to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity to completely solve the problem of the gods. As for what this opportunity is, it is not convenient to disclose."
"I also hope that things can be that simple, but before I can determine your true purpose, I must take some precautions. However, since you have new speculations about the gods, why not share them with me? Perhaps this will allow me to have a deeper understanding of you."
Walter stepped forward and said, "We speculate that the death and resurrection of the gods may be closely related to the core of this temple, and the Star Key may be the key to the whole incident."
"It implies that the power of the gods is sealed here, and once it is released, it may lead to unpredictable consequences."
"So we want to know, during these long years of guarding, do you know some deeper secrets about the power of the gods and the Star Key?"
"Regarding the authority of the gods and the Star Key, what I know is also very limited."
"All I know is that this seal has existed for a long time and is guarded by a powerful force. My duty here is to prevent anyone or any force from easily touching this seal."
"But in recent years, I have vaguely felt that the seal seems to have some weak fluctuations, as if an unknown force is trying to erode it. This is one of the reasons why I am particularly cautious about your appearance."
San Yue Qi couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible that those so-called gods are secretly doing something wrong? They want to regain their power, so they are trying to break the seal?"
Aglaya shook her head. "I can't be sure. The power of the gods is unfathomable, and their intentions are even more elusive. But if they are really behind this, then the danger we face will be far beyond our imagination."
She sighed slightly, her eyes revealing a trace of confusion and helplessness. "And, day after day, year after year, I pray devoutly to the gods every day, praying for their guidance or response."
"However, the gods have always maintained that chilling silence and have not given me the slightest response. So I cannot be sure where the gods are. Have they used some means to transform themselves into human forms, hiding quietly in this world and silently planning everything?"
San Yue Qi tilted his head slightly, his curiosity growing stronger. "Um... let me say one more thing. What exactly are these so-called gods? How many gods are there?"
Seeing everyone's expectant expressions, Aglaya sighed softly, "There are twelve so-called gods in total. They dominate the fate of all things in the world and are the creators of all rules and order. Each god controls a unique and powerful power. These powers are intertwined to build the basic framework of this world."
"But most importantly, these twelve gods were also created."
...
At the same time, in the depths of the vast Milky Way that seemed like a deep dream, she slowly raised her head.
"Omniscient Being, I ask you - what is divinity?"
"Omphalos, is this related to you?"
"Is that world part of the experiment?"
"Are you involved?"
After a long time, a ray of blood light slowly emerged in the void in front of her.
" (**) "
After hearing the answer, the black tower waiting in Omphalos opened his eyes.
There was a flash of surprise and thought in her eyes, but more doubts also followed, drowning her like a tide, but she knew that she had stepped into a realm from which there was no turning back.
