Outside the castle, the horizon seemed to be directly facing the chaotic flow of spacetime in a void, which was a strange feeling.
After seeing that area for a while, Ron's soul began to feel a sense of illusion and confusion.
Although what he saw was mostly nothingness, Ron gradually realized that approaching the spacetime turbulence carried the risk of facing an endless illusion.
The realm of intersecting space and time, as can be seen from church scriptures, is the result of the interaction of too many dimensions.
Anything is possible in the turbulent flow of time and space. The boundless illusion there is like a mirage, with overlapping afterimages between multiple dimensions, sometimes a battlefield, sometimes a desert... endless possibilities.
Standing outside this temporal turbulence, Ron soon felt a sense of emptiness. Was it a side effect of endless time travel? Living beings alone against illusion…
Sigh...
Ron stopped looking at the horizon; the world seemed more complicated than he had imagined.
He wants to return to the normal world, which inevitably requires the Goddess of Magic. Let's keep looking!
Ron looked around and quickly spotted a woman.
The Goddess of the Magic Net?
I think so!
Try to get a little closer.
Alright, the Goddess of the Magic Network tacitly allowed Ron to approach.
The goddess of magic sat on a rocky mountain, surrounded by a desolate landscape, or rather, the entire incomplete world was permeated with a sense of desolation.
The castle, outside the castle, the sky is a void, below the sky is rock and soil, rock and soil, still rock and soil.
Ron discovered that, surprisingly, there were no plants in this world!
Ron looked at the back of the goddess of magic, who was sitting there. Ron didn't dare to look at the void realm anymore, but the goddess of magic kept facing the distant horizon.
Is there anything left in that empty void?
Or perhaps, what is the Goddess of the Magic Net looking at?
...
Upon actually seeing the Goddess of the Magic Network, Ron became even more curious about her. The legendary fallen god before him was not shrouded in the divine mist of his other two superiors.
Strange, really strange.
The Goddess of the Magic Network is truly a strange god of faith. At present, even Ron is not sure if she is a god of faith at all.
All these thoughts had to be buried deep in Ron's heart.
Ron maintained a proper distance and said, "Great and revered goddess of magic, I am Ron Lance, shepherd of the goddess of music and the goddess of water, and the one who summoned you by the angels."
In short, it's not wrong to mention your backer first. Ron spoke first because he was a bit anxious about the practical aspects.
The time-space flow rate comparison in this world is still unknown.
Even if it's no longer a divine kingdom, there are still some spacetime differences between dimensions. Although the differences are generally not large, if the difference between dimensions is too great, the spacetime differences can be quite significant.
He spoke first, hoping that the Goddess of the Magic Network would reveal the purpose of bringing him here soon, so that Ron could resolve the matter quickly.
Unfortunately, even though Ron was so close and had spoken, the Goddess of the Magic Network was still looking towards the horizon of the Void Realm.
Ron was like air.
Alright! Big shots can arrive late and leave early, they can be capricious, Ron will be patient and wait a little longer.
Waiting and waiting.
After a long while, the goddess finally made a move.
The Goddess of the Magic Net withdrew her all-seeing divine eye, slowly rose, and faced Ron, unlike when she faced the Void Realm; her divine eye returned to normal.
Seeing the goddess herself, and realizing that even a strange, fallen legend still existed, Ron felt immense pressure. He unconsciously murmured, "Goddess..."
There are three words after it: "What happened?", which means "What happened to the goddess? Aren't you going to tell me?"
Having said all that, Ron fell silent again. If the goddess wanted to say something, she would say it.
However, without that divine mist, is the goddess's face still... beautiful? Well! It seems to fall short of perfection, even to the point of being unreal, simply because the goddess possesses too much of a mortal quality.
The goddess of magic was actually an elegant young woman dressed in Western-style ancient costume, not a modern magical girl as seen in the Carlo Magic Empire.
Exactly, exactly, an ancient... magical girl, plus commoner attributes, ethnic clothing, resembling a traditional girl from an ancient ethnic minority... well, I'm running out of words.
Ron increasingly felt that mortals who became gods were different in each era.
It was only because the goddess gave Ron too many illusions that he was also a mortal.
God, how could you be so ordinary?
Okay! A seemingly ordinary sentence explains everything.
Finally, the goddess made a move again. With a gentle touch of her delicate hand, a divine light appeared in Ron's soul, stabilizing his rapidly dissipating soul.
It turns out that this is not a divine kingdom. In this incomplete world, the divine soul is not suitable for existence. Fortunately, as an elementalist, Ron is determined to achieve the divine soul strength of a master, which is enough to support him until he can see the Goddess of the Magic Network.
The goddess of magic seemed to recall something, and then she spoke to Ron for the first time.
Even though she's from ancient times, her voice is still beautiful.
"That's what you're saying now, isn't it?"
Ron immediately realized that the great commotion in the mortal world was actually about learning the current language.
The Goddess of Magic is too ancient.
Language changes, not including local dialects.
Ron realized what was happening and immediately replied, "Yes, I can understand."
Perhaps the Goddess of the Magic Network sees into the mortal world and doesn't just want me to learn a language. I'll just listen to what the Goddess of the Magic Network plans to do. It would be best if she could use me, and I could do some logistics or something. Please let me go back quickly!
The Goddess of the Magic Network said again, "Ron Lance, my summoner, the gods have something for you to do."
"Alright, alright, please give your orders, great being. However, there are many limitations in the mortal world, and some things are difficult to handle." Although Ron was in a hurry to return, he would not forget to ask for benefits. He would say the benefits directly, but since he did not have a backer at the moment, he would not say it directly, but he could hint at it in secret.
Too many restrictions, let's get something powerful.
Ron has other plans, but we'll discuss those once he's more familiar with the Goddess of the Magic Network.
The goddess of magic seemed to be stunned for a moment!
Heavens, even ancient gods have such mortal reactions! Ron's reply even made the Goddess of the Magic Network pause for thought, evoking emotions like those of a mortal...
Logically speaking, a god of such ancient times, under the influence of divinity, should not behave like a mortal. The Goddess of the Magic Network seemed ordinary until Ron realized something was wrong.
Then the goddess of the magic net spoke: "Summoner, is this your wish to summon? There are indeed many limitations in the mortal world. Why don't you become one of the gods' chosen ones, summoner?"
Ron's god-like analytical skills were indeed on point; he immediately understood Ron's intention. But what was with that uncertain tone?
Recalling the rule-bound tone and style of the God of Commerce, the Goddess of the Magic Network is truly unique.
Ron replied, "No need. Divine favor is not Ron's desired outcome."
The goddess asked herself again, "If you are not favored by the gods, how can you obtain their divine power? Yes, you are the shepherd of the goddess of music and the goddess of water. Then, can you, Ron Lance, become the shepherd of this god?"
Isn't "pastor" the same as "pope"?
That's not right either. A pastor could be an ordinary pastor, or a saint or holy person in the church. Anyone who preaches the gospel on behalf of God can also be called a pastor.
Ron put it another way: "I, Ron Lance, am not only a pastor of the two gods, but also a pope..."
"Then, how about you become my Pope?" When the goddess spoke these words, it was as if her memories had returned, and Ron could once again hear the majesty of the goddess, because the tone and style of her words had completely changed.
The statement reveals the papal appointment of earthly pastors and agents. All those who believe in a pantheon should not be taken lightly, and those who strongly believe in a divinely inspired God are still few in number.
Looking back, the music goddess had that divine inspiration, but she must have tested Ron beforehand. Ron really shouldn't have asked Linda to record for him.
That's more like it!
At this moment, the goddess of magic was somewhat in line with Ron's image of a god, so Ron naturally replied, "No!"
Damn, they don't even know how they got off those two ships, let alone get on! No way!
As a result, the goddess, just like an angry mortal, turned her head away and walked away.
To retract my previous statement, this god is still too ordinary to the point of being strange, and this time he is overly sentimental.
Strange, why does the Goddess of the Magic Network give Ron the feeling of being normal one moment and abnormal the next? Which one is the real her, or perhaps both?
In the time of gods, in the time of mortals.
