Does a virus that doesn't follow the rules necessarily mean it's a virus?
After pondering the meaning of those words, Victor spoke.
"So you mean there are other life forms without origins in this world?"
"But because they followed the rules of this world, they weren't identified as viruses?"
Upon hearing this, Athena seemed to be wary of something, as if she didn't want Viktor to know.
But she nodded in the end.
"I see."
Understand? Understand what?
She was slightly taken aback, thinking that Viktor's words meant he understood her.
But unexpectedly, Viktor then said something startling:
"You gods are just those life forms without origin."
Athena's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but this time she didn't show it too obviously.
In order to prevent Viktor from seeing through it.
Nevertheless, a storm raged within her.
However, Viktor still caught her barely perceptible shock.
He remained nonchalant, quietly observing Athena's changing expression, and continued:
"The difference between you and the virus is that you follow the world's 'rules'."
"So, that's why you became 'gods,' right?"
At this moment, Athena did not answer again, but remained silent.
Victor smiled, believing he had received the most satisfactory answer.
This answer indeed resolved his long-standing confusion.
Why are other deities, such as the goddess of justice and the goddess of wisdom, considered righteous gods, while others are considered righteous deities?
But is Vega, on his own, an 'evil' god?
Chaos had told him this in that chaotic space.
If we consider the origin of deities, then only the deities that split off from him and their descendants are the native deities of this world.
According to legend, the gods of the Zeus system originated from 'Gaia'.
However, Chaos also told him an important piece of information.
"Gaia" is no longer Gaia. In order to escape her duties as the "Goddess of the Earth," she has changed her name without authorization.
Although the price was endless hunting, this also shows that the goddess of nature could not have been the source of Zeus and other gods.
After all, she was being hunted down because she failed to fulfill her duties as Gaia.
If she were to go back and create gods like Zeus, why wouldn't she just continue being 'Gaia'?
Therefore, combining the words of the goddess of wisdom, we can conclude that...
Both they and Vega come from outside this world.
And Zeus and his companions were, in fact, also "viruses".
However, they are 'viruses' that have not been killed.
"A god who followed the rules and became recognized by the world."
"One who did not follow the rules became an 'evil god' not recognized by the world."
"What an interesting world."
Victor suddenly laughed, a laugh that made the gods present shrink back.
He understood where the status of these gods in this world came from.
I also understand why Vega became the 'evil god'.
However, he still had one question.
Are Vega and the gods part of a pre-ordained storyline in this world?
But in his heart, he was more inclined to choose "no".
Because Vega has no storyline in the game, his only clue is his identity as the 'Evil God Habika'.
A world setting that informs players of a backstory that once wiped out half of humanity.
This makes sense, as a character who doesn't follow the rules is essentially an uncontrollable factor.
How could a game possibly allow it to appear after the main story for players to complete?
Only those "gods" who follow the game's storyline and abide by the rules will become victims of this game.
In a sense, Vega has also broken free from the constraints of this game.
And what about him...?
Viktor gradually fell into deep thought.
Because they broke the rules, they became cheaters, and because they cannot be erased.
In addition, because he was an outsider, he was considered a virus.
But... was the original Viktor also unable to transcend because he was always following the rules and the game's storyline?
This resulted in him being killed by Gwen in every storyline.
Victor shook his head.
This idea is rather ridiculous.
The original Victor was just a native of this world, but the current Victor is an outsider player with memories of the real world.
How could he possibly be aware of the rules of this world?
Victor stopped dwelling on the question, although he remained curious about what was going on with him.
For example, what is his real name?
But these things can be considered later.
The most urgent task is to continue carrying out the mission Chaos has given him.
Viktor should have found clues about how the gods came to be in this world.
But that's far from enough.
Because he has not yet discovered their specific origin.
That is, where do the gods come from and why do they exist?
This leads to the second question,
"So, when you say 'going home,' you mean leaving this world, right?"
Athena remained silent, and the other gods also pursed their lips tightly, not uttering a word.
Viktor could see that the allure of 'going home' had a significant impact on them.
