"Combining your investigations this month, I can basically confirm that the Director of Rhine Lab has not only begun researching gods, but has been doing so for quite some time…"
Wearing a white lab coat over her green dress, Kaltsit emerged from the laboratory on the inner side of the room, holding the coffee Goki had just brewed.
"To be honest, I'm not surprised by these people anymore. I once stayed in Saint Granburg in Ursus for a while, where scientists nearly embarked on a path of self-destruction because of an ancient relic—humanity's thirst for unknown power is enough to override their reason."
Sighing, Kaltsit looked at Goki, who had already cleared the dining table and was sitting on the sofa.
"What's more, this time, they genuinely intend to touch those non-human entities. The Flame Demon Incident that broke out in Sargon was suppressed purely by luck. If a divine disaster were to erupt in the densely populated High-Tech Development Zone this time, the consequences would be unimaginable—can you three be a little serious and stop playing with that third-order Rubik's Cube?"
On either side of Goki's thighs, Kafka and Skadi were sitting cross-legged on the sofa in a completely unladylike manner, fiddling with her strange Rubik's Cube together—beside them, two cups of rich, super-sweet coffee with extra sugar had already been drunk clean.
"What do you mean by a third-order Rubik's Cube? This is a precisely designed staff that can make people fall into a deep, unconscious sleep—anyway, we don't understand what you're talking about, but we'll definitely help when the time comes."
"Exactly, exactly! Kafka saved up for a long time to buy this, and it's so much fun—Goki tells me who to beat up, and I'll go beat them up!"
However, Kafka and Skadi were exceptionally straightforward. The legal loli and the naive girl had gotten along very well this month, and at this moment, they had formed an offensive and defensive alliance to jointly resist Kaltsit's Yin and Yang sarcasm.
Anyway, they didn't understand what Goki and Kaltsit were saying, so they might as well wait for the two of them to finish talking and then do their work diligently.
"Alright, alright, let's talk business—you two need to listen carefully too."
Goki stretched out his hands, patted Skadi and Kafka's little heads, and gave Kaltsit an apologetic smile.
"Although I haven't met that Director yet, it's clear that the blood samples she acquired are severe enough to corrode human minds—and according to Director Saria's investigation, Rhine Lab may have started its research a long time ago."
A research organization that stores a large amount of divine blood and continuously studies it basically points directly to the Healing Church.
Thinking of the hidden storage room in Rhine Lab, which constantly tempted Goki and God knows how many divine-related items it contained, as well as the monsters within the Healing Church, Goki felt a chill down his spine.
Currently, Ifrit is the only test subject. If Rhine Lab is allowed to continue developing, it might truly replicate the disaster where all researchers become "big-headed babies."
Senior Sister Maria chose to end her life and enter a half-dead state precisely because she could not accept the sins of the Healing Church.
Goki was very grateful that he came relatively early. If he had come a few years later, Saria and Silence might have also taken such extreme actions—the Flame Demon Incident was already bad enough; adding other gods would be even more fatal.
"Mm."
"Hehe…"
Rubbed on their little heads by Goki, Skadi and Kafka chuckled, listening attentively.
Kaltsit, meanwhile, rolled her eyes at the two girls, sipping the rich, sweet-bitter coffee Goki had brewed for her, which was at a moderate temperature so as not to scald a Feline's tongue, as she sat in her office chair.
Facing Goki, Kaltsit crossed her legs, her slender, beautiful leg hooked the slipper Goki had bought for her with her perfect toes, swaying it back and forth in front of Goki, making one want to take a bite of this thousand-year-old cured ham.
Swaying, swaying~~.jpg
Just as Kaltsit felt herself, over the past month, under the influence and affection of these three lively characters, she had indeed relaxed a lot.
"Since you have investigated our target, the rest of the matter will be easy to handle—my goal is to destroy those experimental samples, disrupt the experimental treatment, and ensure their harmlessness to the real world. If you can ensure that those powers do not leak out, then it's fine for them to become your power."
Kaltsit slowly said, glancing at Goki's arm, which he usually used for cooking.
During this month's training, Kaltsit knew that the "Originium Arts" Goki released were not ordinary Originium Arts.
This type of Spell structure was ancient and violent; if an ordinary person were to use it, the only outcome would be a rapid depletion of their life force—Goki's ability to withstand these powers already demonstrated his uniqueness.
"Apparently, the so-called Ifrit Project couldn't possibly be for creating some harmless biological weapon—I analyzed the contents of the Ifrit Project you brought back. Even as an experimental result, that agent would squeeze a person's life force, causing them to prematurely fall into decline…"
With a flick of her slender hand, wearing a fireproof glove, Kaltsit held a flaming skull in her hand, using it to warm up her slightly cooled coffee.
Although she had initially complained about Goki using this thing to cook, over the past month, Kaltsit discovered that this eternally burning skull, aside from the exceptionally dangerous secrets within it, was also a very useful heat source.
By now, Kaltsit had grown accustomed to using what Goki called "the wisdom of an ancient god" as an alcohol lamp to heat reagents.
Although this object contained terrifying knowledge from a non-human world, and even looking at it for a second would make Kaltsit's body instinctively bristle, once she got used to it, it was quite useful.
"Heh, that's why they targeted the long-lived and resilient Sarkaz. Even if their lifespan is greatly reduced, they can still live longer than other races—truly, they wouldn't dare to actually trouble the Dragon Clan and Draco people."
After heating her coffee, Kaltsit casually tossed the skull to Goki, who caught it directly in his hand—he noticed the ancient Old Lynx's embarrassment; Feline people couldn't live that long.
"Whatever power is within you, it is exceptionally stable, and its effect on perceiving other divine contaminations is not obvious. Hold this skull; the power sealed within is terrifying and dangerous, but it can guide you to find power related to the God of Burning Wind—I know you have a way to bring it in, right?"
"Of course~"
With a forceful squeeze of both hands, Goki directly teleported the God of Burning Wind's "brute's wisdom" into the dream realm.
[Don't suddenly send such a dangerous thing into the dream, kind Hunter.]
"Wow—"
"This is it, this is it! This is much more amazing than street magic!"
Watching the item disappear, Skadi and Kafka immediately clapped, while the Nona doll in his mind complained about Goki carelessly discarding things, even as she placed it in the storage box in the small house.
Goki had no intention of hiding these special abilities from those close to him; he wouldn't be able to keep it a secret for long anyway, so he might as well show them off more to tease the big Feline in front of him.
