Chapter 47: Ch 47 : Probing

Hearing Adam’s answer, all the gods felt a huge wave of both pressure and relief.

If the multiverse was this big, the chances of encountering void beasts were slim for them.

“So doesn’t that mean we wouldn’t encounter any void beasts for a long time?” one god asked, his question coming out without even asking for Adam’s permission.

But Adam didn’t mind this and calmly replied, “Not really, as I, God Adam, the firstborn of all the gods, made my multiverse nearest to the void, so that I can defend my fellow less powerful gods.” Adam answered with dignity.

Every god felt both respect and anger towards this ancient being. If not for their powerlessness, they would have slapped him hard on the face.

“Well, it doesn’t really matter if you are far away or near the void; they can teleport to great distances with ease, and by great distances, I mean universes,” Adam said, as if to create more tension among the gods.

Now the gods became accustomed to this god, who played with their hearts.

One sentence would make them sigh in relief, and another would fill them with worry.

During this whole time, Sunny didn’t say anything and just listened to everything.

Slowly, some questions were being asked related to the universe and how to create universes.

Adam replied to the questions one by one.

Then, Strategist asked one question: “What is your talent?”

The ears of every other god moved, and they all looked at Adam intently.

Sensing the gazes of every god, he felt that if he didn’t answer, they would bite his head off.

“I have multiple talents, like talents for magic, affinity for every element, immunity to all curses and poison, divine defense, and many other talents for attacks. And my special talent was…” Adam paused and thought for a moment, as this talent was his greatest secret. But he still said,

“Overgrowth. Through this talent, all my life forms had the chance to break past the limits of mortal life and become immortal.”

All the gods turned silent. Strategist’s eyes turned red, as if the thought of life forms becoming demigods resonated deeply with him.

He wanted this talent for himself but had no way to get it and sighed.

But suddenly, his eyes lit up again, and he hopefully asked, “You said that we are in your multiverse, so technically we are your life forms. Does this talent also apply to us, as we are your life forms?”

The question asked by Strategist this time was confusing for many, but they knew of his wisdom and didn’t disturb him.

“I lost my position as a god when I ran away in the face of danger from the demons. All my demigods lost respect for me. They still protected my escape route and died. You could even say that I am just a life form in this multiverse,” Adam said, gritting his teeth.

Adam blamed all this on himself.

“But don’t think I was a coward; that’s why I ran away. I wanted to fight until the end. But all my brothers and sisters, they sacrificed everything and gave away all their resources to me, so that I can come and take revenge for all of them.”

Everyone looked at Adam and knew that the last hope of all the previous gods were none other than the “new gods.”

Sensing the tense moment, Adam tried to ease up the atmosphere and said, “Don’t worry about having demigods. Every godly year, there will surely be atleast one hero born in your territory ”

“And if you cultivate it well, it can become a demigod easily, because these heroes have one or more SS-Grade talents and many smaller-grade talents.”

“Thus, the more you survive, the more strength you will have.”

“As for divine embryos, they are a luxury even to the old gods. When a demigod dies, there is a chance of a divine embryo manifesting in your world. I don’t know how it works, but it does, and that’s all that matters.”

Adam said this jokingly, but it eased the tension built up in all the gods’ hearts.

Kairos also felt happy upon hearing this, as his demigod had been captured by Sunny.

Many more questions were then asked by other gods, and the atmosphere again turned into a murmur.

In the end, when only five minutes were left, Sunny finally asked, “Adam, why are you so unreliable?”

This was Sunny’s gamble to get what he wanted the most, his gaze perfectly hidden behind his black mask.

Every god looked at Sunny; they didn’t know he was God Cosmos and felt that this god had a death wish, saying such things to Adam, the firstborn.

“Ah, God Cosmos, why do you think so?” Adam said, as he was aware of every god’s name.

“Oh, you know my name. Well, it isn’t unexpected. You are the all-knowing system, so do you know what my talent is?” Sunny checked the waters; he wanted to know how much Adam knew about the gods.

“No, I don’t. I am aware that no god should share their talents with each other, so I never tried to look at your talents and what you do. The system was just a part of my soul that didn’t merge back with me and will die when its time was up. Thus all the data will also be lost,” Adam said without thinking.

“Then I don’t mean you are unreliable but the part of your soul which I don’t know how you turned into a system,” Sunny asked probingly.

Upon noticing the conversation between the leader of the old gods and the potential leader of the new gods, all the gods fell silent.

They just began to listen to the conversation between Adam and Sunny.

Adam suddenly began to cast some seals, and a third eye opened in his glabella.

And suddenly, he flared up, “You have the gall to say that? God Cosmos”
