Chapter 1341: Assistance from Raven 12345 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After uploading reports to Raven 12345, Hao Ren brought Vivian and Lily to the divine realm the next day.

He brought Vivian because of her unusual relationship with the goddess of creation, and Lily because he wanted to find out what Doggoblast was all about.

In a pavilion in the “heavenly garden”, Raven 12345 looked at Hao Ren with a wacky expression on her face as she poured Hao Ren a cup of black tea. “If I didn’t have a sharp mind, I would have suspected that you created false evidence, using a thrilling story to cover up your unproductivity. What’s wrong with you? I just asked you to find a crystal, but you created such an incident.”

Hao Ren could only smile in embarrassment as Raven 12345 took a dig at him. The MDT was showing a few pinned posts in the local universe forum: Tunalar, the songstress; Model, the celestial singer; Aviana, the stellar artiste; and Galazur, the dragon queen had high praise for the new Inspector Hao Ren after completing their last joint operation. They had never experienced such an exciting encounter even though they had been inspectors for thousands of years. In the course of a meeting, Hao Ren had blown up a demigod of the other world, well-deserving the Bomb Maniac title.

As if these gang of inspectors had nothing better to do, they seemed to enjoy calling Hao Ren with that epithet. Thanks to these guys, he found the epithet Bomb Maniac in a theological textbook when he casually browsed through the information material of some civilization. The title had become a principal subject of cosmic sociology. That civilization sphere believed in Raven 12345, and one of the basic requirements to pass the graduation exam was to recite the ‘sacred title’ of all popes in the whole universe.

Fortunately, those names were all transliterated. Otherwise, Hao Ren would be embarrassed to high heaven.

These wild thoughts briefly crossed his mind. Hao Ren’s mouth twitched as he said, “I couldn’t believe it myself at first, but the information isn’t fake. The goddess of creation created Lockmarton, who was the first life she created. He was a super demigod with god-like characteristics and was the first creature infected by the Mad Lord. The goddess of creation cut off her memories, which divided the times in the Plane of Dreams into two periods. The mind of the goddess of creation is the key to the escape of the Mad Lord, so it was likely that the goddess actively planned or acquiesced to the deicidal war 10,000 years ago just to permanently contain the Mad Lord. The deicidal race was just a pawn, induced not only by the power of the Mad Lord but possibly also the interference of the goddess of creation herself.

Raven 12345 tapped her fingers on the white jade table. Every tap produced an air ripple in the surrounding air. There seemed to be shadows in the ripples. The goddess was using this method to simulate a particular key of evolution in the Plane of Dreams to “prophesize” the intrinsic connection and blind spots of this new intelligence.

“In my opinion, the infestation of Lockmarton caused the goddess of creation to lose her judgment. As an immature goddess, she should have devoted most of her energy into taking control of her power, but she stopped the process at a critical moment and brought an army to seek revenge on the Mad Lord. The revenge on her child’s behalf is excusable, but she has harmed herself and others.” Raven 12345 shook her head, apparently feeling a bit sad.

“Lockmarton is also a tragedy. The goddess of creation gave her power to him, but he did not have the will to control this power, which eventually corrupted him. Before bumping into the Mad Lord, Lockmarton already had signs of mental disorder, which was why he was quickly infected by the Mad Lord later. As a divine creation, he should not have fallen so quickly.”

“It’s not easy to bear the authority of God. Giving her divine power to a non-divine creature is the first and biggest mistake the goddess of creation has made.” Raven 12345 spread her hand out. “But what could she have done? She has never gone to school.”

“I am worried about one thing now,” Hao Ren said as he looked at Vivian. “The goddess ofcCreation erased her memory to contain the Mad Lord. In other words, she was using memory occlusion to prevent the Mad Lord from breaking out of jail through divine power. I suspect that Vivian’s amnesia phenomenon is also related to it. After all, Vivian is also an extension of the goddess of creation.”

“Are you worried that Vivian’s activities in the Plane of Dreams will cause her to be infected by the power of Chaos? Or if she frequently comes into contact with the knowledge of the Mad Lord, it will weaken the seal that contains the Mad Lord?” Raven 12345 asked while looking into Hao Ren’s eyes.

“It’s possible,” Hao Ren replied.

“I think something else causes Vivian’s amnesia. You must still remember the celestial ceremony of the Ultimate Absolution. The goddess of creation has left this ceremony behind to preserve the races in the Plane of Dreams to ensure the stability of the world. Vivian is the key part of the Ultimate Absolution ceremony and the ‘guide’ of the whole plan. She would need full memory to be able to do it. For this reason, the goddess of creation would not leave a bug in Vivian’s head to regularly ‘wipe’ her memory.” Raven 12345 waved her finger while she said, “I tend to believe that her amnesia is an accident, and has no connection with the memory occlusion of the goddess of creation.”

“But I am still worried.” Unable to hide his thoughts, Hao Ren’s brows pulled together.

“I’m fine,” Vivian said. “Had the Mad Lord targetted me, I would have lost my mind when the power of the Mad Lord began to leak out 10,000 years ago. It’s a lunatic that could not withhold its power, which had no incubation period. As soon as one is infested, the effect is immediate. Since I’m still okay now, it means I will be okay in the future. Don’t worry, Hao Ren.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, do I miss something here? I could smell both of you are in love.” Raven 12345 glanced at Hao Ren and Vivian respectively.

Vivian felt embarrassed and coughed. But Hao Ren was used to his boss’ satirical style. “So what if I care about her?” he said without blinking an eye.

Hao Ren’s reply had stunned Raven 12345 this time. And the conversation also caught Lily’s interest. “What is it? Mr. Landlord, when did you two begin to sleep together?”

“Oh, give me a break! There is nothing improper between us, okay?” Vivian snorted and glared at Lily. But the 10,000 years old vampire had little animation on her face. “I couldn’t believe that you’re a writer. You couldn’t even use a proper language. But hey, what can I expect from a dog?”

Lily banged the table and snorted, “Be careful, Battie! You will be surprised by what I could do with my mouth! Do you believe that I go to rinse my mouth and shoot an energy beam at your face?”

Lily had not wholly mastered her Doggoblast skill. At present, she needed to make use of water-spitting action to warm it up.

Vivian and Hao Ren were struck dumb.

Raven 12345 began to lose her patience. She hemmed in her majestic voice, as though she had one, and interrupted them. “Mind your attitude in front of a god. Otherwise, I’m going to give each of you a ‘blessing.’ Let’s return to the topic of Vivian’s amnesia. Hao Ren, your worry is not entirely unfounded. I still think that in the original setting of the goddess of creation, there is no memory-wiping setting in Vivian’s head. But I believe that her recurrent amnesia is related to the influence of the Mad Lord. Let me prepare a ceremony to enhance her immunity to the influence of Chaos. You should not take her into the Plane of Dreams before the ceremony is successful. It’s better safe than sorry.”

With Raven 12345’s assistance, Hao Ren felt a little more at ease now than before. He then took out a few items from the dimensional pocket.

First, it was the black sword that he took from Auguste VII.

Dubbed the Worldbreaker, the black sword was kept in a safety box. When the box was opened, the sword floated up and out in blue light. “It’s the other Godslayer that Lockmarton had. It’s the one I mentioned to you earlier. The last time I checked, it carried Lockmarton’s energy, or rather the frenzied power of the Mad Lord, which could drive ordinary animals into insanity and pollute matter as well as energy. But I have not detected the presence of a phenomenon similar to the Echo Wall.”

“Godslayer is the weapon of the goddess. No wonder it could kill the goddess,” Raven 12345 said as she reached out. “Things come full circle.”

Raven’s hand went straight through the blue energy field. She grabbed the hilt and took it out with ease.

Ripples surged all over the blade as corrupted energy was about to break out.

Raven 12345 knocked the sword on the table twice, so the energy that was about to lose control instantly dissipated.

After that, Raven 12345 stretched out her the other hand and slid gently over the surface of the blade that looked like a starry sky.

A nearly transparent ripple from the spread as her finger ran over the blade. Even the eternal starlight began to tremble slightly. Raven 12345 carefully examined the remnant of the Mad Lord’s energy and compared it with the samples of the first Godslayer.

A few minutes later, Raven 12345 looked up with a solemn face.

“The energies of the two Godslayers are inconsistent.”
