God Simulator: The Goddesses In The Simulation Are All Real

Hearing Zephyrax's reply, which was already what he knew, Linsley asked again, "Do you know any other methods?"

In response, Zephyrax shook his head. "So far, no."

He further explained, "In the ancient era, the bottleneck still existed. However, flux at that time was very abundant."

"Although it was still very difficult to become a Level 9.9 Overlord back then, it wasn't impossible. At least, a few of the dragon race's ancestors, as well as other monster clan ancestors, managed to become Level 9.9 Overlords."

Fulminis added, "According to the dragon race's records, the reason for the decline of flux was due to the Superpower God."

Listening to Zephyrax's explanation and Fulminis placing the blame on the Superpower God, Linsley already understood what they meant.

Linsley guessed, "If I'm not mistaken, the Superpower God bestowed a gift to the human race. That gift allowed the human race to take a portion of other races' share of the world's flux."

"The more humans awakened their gifts, the lesser the overall flux of the world as it would be consumed by more people."

Zephyrax nodded. "Yes, but that's not all. The Superpower God's act of bestowing a gift to humanity seems to have broken universal rules, and the price he paid was the decline of flux in this world."

"Not only in this world, but also in other worlds similar to this one, where both diviners and monsters exist. From what the dragon ancestors discovered, the Superpower God's influence is not limited to this world but reaches adjacent worlds as well."

Listening to Zephyrax's words, Linsley realized that the influence of the Superpower God wasn't so simple.

He couldn't help but speculate, 'Is the Superpower God perhaps an Outer God? Are these so-called gifts awakened by the human race just a trap he laid, and if activated, would the entire human race who awakened gifts become his Outer God lackeys?'

As that conjecture dawned on him, Linsley grasped just how dire the situation could be.

After all, he himself had also awakened a gift, yet he hadn't noticed anything amiss.

In other words, either the Superpower God wasn't an Outer God, and even if there were something wrong with the gifts, it wasn't related to the Outer God, or the Outer God was very powerful to the point that no one could notice anything wrong with the gifts—including Linsley, who was unaware of it.

Linsley preferred neither of those two options, as both implied the Superpower God was conspiring against the human race, as well as the monster race, who were suppressed by the Superpower God after the emergence of diviners among the human race.

After realizing how shady the Superpower God was, Linsley focused entirely on making the Sinclair Order the world's number one religion to the point of overshadowing the Superpower God's religion.

Doing so would not only grant him enough faith power to reach Level 9.9 Overlord, but it would also allow him to catch the Superpower God's attention.

If that happened, then the Superpower God would either ignore him or take action against him.

Either outcome was something Linsley could accept, as this was merely a god simulation.

While immersive, like a full-dive simulation, it wasn't a true full-dive, so Linsley didn't have to worry about any death here causing real death in the outside world.

With this in mind, Linsley dared to test the Superpower God's limits in order to uncover his possible conspiracies.

If the Superpower God turned out to be an Outer God, Linsley wouldn't hesitate to go all out in finding a way to eliminate him. But if he was just an evil god, Linsley would deal with him according to the situation at that time.

But for now, the Superpower God wasn't a direct threat to him, as Linsley still had a lot of matters to attend to—one of them being the perpetrator behind the Phoenix Continent's massacre.

The Phoenix Continent had one Level 9.8 Overlord and several other Overlords of various levels. Even a powerful Level 9.8 Overlord like Zephyrax couldn't claim he'd be able to massacre the entire continent.

Currently, Linsley, Fulminis, and Zephyrax were sprinting through the Phoenix Continent, conversing as they went. After all, it wasn't their dragon race that had been massacred, so while Fulminis and Zephyrax were cautious of the perpetrator, they didn't harbor any deep-seated hatred for him.

As for fear? That was nonexistent, since the three of them were all Level 9.8 Overlords. Fulminis and Zephyrax might not be 100% certain they could defeat the one behind the massacre, but they had their "master" with them.

With Linsley at their side, Fulminis and Zephyrax casually conversed with him while scanning the continent. There was no point in worrying—if the three of them couldn't handle the perpetrator, then no one in the world could.

While they were sprinting, Zephyrax asked, "Speaking of which, you must be curious why there aren't any Level 9.9 Overlords in this world, right? After all, the human race isn't long-lived, and records of the ancient era weren't kept by humanity."

"Unlike our dragon race and other long-lived races—some of us may not bother to record history, but our ancestors passed it on by word of mouth. And with monsters being long-lived, we managed to preserve those records."

Hearing Zephyrax's question, Linsley didn't hide his lack of knowledge and nodded, "Well, that's true. Even after I conquered the Gale Continent, there weren't any records of the ancient era, aside from the human race worshiping the Superpower God for bestowing gifts upon humanity."

Linsley had been curious about the absence of Level 9.9 Overlords in the Diviner World. He'd planned to ask Zephyrax about it, but since Zephyrax brought it up himself, Linsley only had to wait for the answer.

It was worth noting that Linsley had secretly used his Real Fantasy gift long ago to obtain the ability to see through the truth and falsehood in others, and not once had Zephyrax or Fulminis hidden or distorted the truth.

Noticing Linsley's interest, Zephyrax replied, "The lack of Level 9.9 Overlords in this world is…"
