Village Head's Debauchery
chapter-853

"Very well, if you're so eager for an explanation, I'll give you one. After countless research and contemplation, I've realised that I've been looking at things in a one-dimensional light. I've always believed that the way to defeat and torment the gods was by creating more manmade gods. However, why stop there..." Dr. Nakamura began.

"What do you mean?" Oberon interrupted.

"Allow me to finish. Creating manmade gods may be enough to handle the gods, but no matter how powerful they become, they will never match the power of their ancestors or the Omnithrallian bodies they possess — something I'm sure you've already realised. Herein lies the problem: if the manmade gods manage to eradicate the gods with their strength, it would be impossible for them to enter heaven, especially after several rebirths."

"So, wouldn't that render this endeavour useless if they can't enter heaven? What's the point of eradicating the gods if they can't conquer the place they once called home, where they looked down upon the galaxies and saw the races they now view as children as nothing more than toys to amuse them?"

"And please, don't deny the truth that not all gods see their children as playthings — we all know that if the gods had stayed in heaven, the universes wouldn't be in the chaos they're currently in! If the gods had chosen not to treat everything as a game, perhaps we wouldn't be in the situation we're in now. However, they opted to wield their immense power, creating life as they saw fit, disregarding the natural order of things."

"They left their home to interfere with ours, even at the cost of destruction that forced it to go through several rebirths. Honestly, I don't think the emergence of the Divine Mysteries—the very thing keeping the gods in check, granting anyone worthy enough the chance to be a god, or the fact that a god can only become omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent over the laws they've mastered—was a mistake."

"Even the heavens know that the gods aren't meant to be here and will do everything possible to limit their influence within our universe! Let me make one thing clear: the gods are not our saviours; they are the very cause of our damnation!" Dr Nakamura declared, his voice filled with emotion before eventually calming down.

Hearing Naka's words, Oberon had a bewildered and astounded expression.

Meanwhile, Orion and Aerialia couldn't help but widen their eyes in realisation once again as they uncovered the motives behind Naka's actions.

"That's…" Aerialia began to speak but couldn't find a suitable argument to dispel Naka's words. She bit her lip in realisation as every word from Naka hit with pinpoint accuracy, making it hard for her to refute.

She remained silent, stealing glances at Orion from the corner of her eyes, wondering if witnessing all the revelations within Aegis of the Arctic Deity's memories would change him.

Aegis of the Arctic Deity briefly closed his eyes before reopening them to observe the unfolding scene. He couldn't stop now that they had reached this level.

"Nonetheless, I still consider the development of the manmade gods a huge success, as it signifies the Omnithriallians exacting their revenge through their descendants. But to take this further, I've decided to push the boundaries even more than before. Everything you see here is connected to one grand purpose: to create a new race, one with the potential to surpass the Omnithriallians in power, to be a formidable adversary to the gods, instilling more fear than ever. This new race will be able to dominate heaven, reversing the roles the gods have played in our homes,"Dr. Nakamura said, revealing his ambitious plans to Oberon.

"You're insane. If you know this information, you must also know that heaven is no longer there. All that remains is the Divine Mysteries, which is why the gods have chosen to stay here, even if it means being reborn and starting anew,"Oberon countered, shaking his head.

His eyes showed a hint of pain and pity as if he were witnessing someone close drift away towards an unreachable path.

"How naive," Dr. Nakamura responded, clicking his tongue in annoyance. "That information was obtained from the gods themselves, not firsthand from the Omnithriallians, as they've hidden themselves within this world, away from the gods' watchful eyes. So, I consider it a mere rumour. Despite believing in the power of the Divine Mysteries, having witnessed it firsthand, I don't think that's the full state of heaven."

"A rebirth can't simply destroy the birthplace of the gods. It may have changed, but I doubt it's fully destroyed and replaced by the Divine Mysteries. To confirm, I'd have to see it myself and to do that, I would have to face the gods first; they wouldn't take kindly to intruders."

As Dr. Nakamurafinished, he refocused on Oberon. "Now that you know my purpose, I'll ask one question: Will you join me in expanding paradise across the universe, or will you leave while you still can before I'm tempted to retract my offer?"

"And if I refuse?"Oberon asked, his expression solemn as he kept his senses sharp.

"Then the only option left is to find a suitable spot for you in this laboratory,"Dr. Nakamura responded, his tone serious as he transformed into Naka.

"STOP!"Ilse shouted, suddenly appearing out of thin air.

Oberon paused and turned his attention to her. "You're here. That means you knew about all of this?"he asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Of course, she knew. How else could I have gotten all the equipment and materials for this experiment? Although other gods may claim the same titles as Ilse's, rest assured they're all as greedy as they appear,"Naka responded.

However, instead of responding, Oberon glanced around the laboratory once more. Not spotting any prismerions, he closed his eyes and nodded calmly. "I see,"he said, reopening his eyes to look at both of them.

"Since we're unwelcome here, we'll take our leave," he responded before vanishing into thin air.
