Chapter 682: Chapter 278: The Favored One Has No Fear
Is the Heavenly Father truly an Ancient God?
Wayne frowned in thought. Just by looking at the angels of Heaven, in terms of style, they indeed possessed the visage of the Ancient God’s Kin. If the angels were truly kinsfolk of an Ancient God, then the Heavenly Father must be an Ancient God.
However, according to Wayne’s understanding, Ancient Gods were not interested in faith. Take the Sea God of Dragonheart Island, for instance; even when worshippers brought offerings with both hands, the Sea God, having already descended, still could not be bothered to bend down and pick them up.
The Heavenly Father’s Court was different; it once dominated the God-chosen Continent where faith was overwhelmingly practiced without competition.
That is why a war of faith broke out, and the Storms and Thunder God, who evolved into a Giant, fell in this war, erased from history, unknown to the masses.
However, the Heavenly Father’s Court is the Heavenly Father’s Court, and Heaven is Heaven; the two are not the same concept. One should not assume that Heaven is keen on faith because of what the Heavenly Father’s Court did on the God-chosen Continent.
The now trendy Five Great Goddesses are the best example; their existence proves that the Heavenly Father really doesn’t care.
But if the Heavenly Father is indeed an Ancient God, who created the God-chosen Continent, then how did the Five Great Goddesses rise? What is their origin?
Could it be that the Storms and Thunder God was also a member of the Life Alliance back then?
And what about Hell; without a leading figure, how does it stand against Heaven?
Or perhaps, the devils of Hell are also the Ancient God’s Kin, and Hell once had an Ancient God. Was the true war of faith between two Ancient Gods, with Heaven ultimately winning?
No way, what status does the God-chosen Continent have to be graced by the service of two Ancient Gods in turn?
With too many questions, the more Wayne thought, the more confused he became. He pushed aside the questions for now and said to the eager Juno, "Once evolution begins, it can’t be stopped. I’m laying it out for you upfront, the true appearance of angels is not beautiful. You need to be mentally prepared."
"I know, I’ve thoroughly read the ancient scriptures of the Holy See, I’m quite aware of the true form of the angels," replied Juno, not panicking. Looks don’t matter, what’s fundamental is strength.
The strong remain strong, even if the strong are too hideous to look upon, their ugliness also symbolizes strength. The strong need not adorn themselves; believers will voluntarily beautify them with words such as majesty, mystery, ancient, and the unknown.
Juno did not care about appearance; if she did, she wouldn’t be out and about as a Princess Knight.
But Juno had a question, "Wayne, just because I helped you once, you’re willing to give me such a great benefit?"
"To be exact, I want to shut you up, and I don’t want to repay kindness with enmity, so I made this decision," replied Wayne. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ
"The risk of evolution is great. It will have irreversible effects on your thinking and body, like Celeste, whom I have become a faith for, giving me absolute control over him. I don’t want you to become like this, so I need to minimize the impact of evolution on you, which requires some time to research," Wayne explained.
"Will reducing the impact of evolution affect my future?" she asked.
"Yes," he replied.
Then don’t reduce it!
Juno wanted to say that, but reason held her back, opting to retain her own will.
Soon, she saw Wayne put on a white lab coat, don medical gloves, and lead the Pale Nest to the laboratory.
Juno, out of curiosity, followed, but Mona stopped her.
"Sister Mona, we’re on the same side, I’m not planning to resist anymore," said Juno, curious about Wayne’s research and wanting to see how angels create life.
Mona didn’t understand these things and coldly told Juno to stand aside.
Juno displayed her excellent eloquence, using her flirtation skills to try to get close, but couldn’t get past Mona’s absolute loyalty to Wayne, and ultimately didn’t set foot into the lab.
Inside the laboratory, Wayne took the fresh corpse of Anastasia, the Dark Saintess, from the Pale Nest, reversed her transformation into a human, and then started from scratch, gradually exploring the process of tainted evolution.
There were numerous failures, leading to mutations in the dark-skinned elf’s body; the irresponsible and random growths were an eye-opener for Wayne, who didn’t realize he had so many potential possibilities hidden within himself.
For the first three days, Wayne focused on studying Anastasia, and on the fourth day, he switched to Celeste. The dark-skinned Glamor Lady’s body was indeed very creative, but an empty shell without thoughts was just a doll; the experimental data could only serve as an initial reference.
Celeste was different, his thoughts were still present.
Celeste looked like he had seen a ghost, noticing the changes within himself, he could no longer determine what Wayne was: a Reincarnated Angel, a Death Knight, a Void Evil God, so many possibilities, each one slightly applicable.
Wayne would have to expend quite a few tricks to deal with Celeste using force alone. Fighting on the level of life, combined with the amplifier, the Pale Nest, he could kill Celeste in an instant.
"Don’t be afraid, this is a good thing. Humans have their limits, and you have surpassed those limits. Follow me, and the stars and sea await us," Wayne patted Celeste on the shoulder, painting a grand vision for the new recruit.
Since it was a man, Wayne was less interested, content to feed just one pie without any follow-up.
With the complete data from the Legendary Mage, coupled with the previous data from Saina, and Philomena, who advanced from Golden Mage to Legendary Mage, Wayne held a wealth of valuable information and was able to roughly outline the thought process behind tainted evolution.
Firstly, evolution is irreversible; even he, the source, couldn’t erase the taint, only construct a false shell to make it appear human.
Secondly, evolution can indeed be controlled, which was good news, as the experiment had made significant breakthroughs.
