Chapter 180: 179 mutual restraint relationship

“Hey.”

Holding the books from the Divine World in his hands, Shane asked Luoqi.

“Is it really impossible for Nien to be the Supreme God?”

Shane desperately wanted to understand this question.

“If Nien was the Supreme God, then wouldn’t all the conditions of my summoning no longer be a mystery?”

That’s what Shane believed.

“Indeed, if we say there’s a method to initiate the summoning ritual other than the three publicly known ones, then it could only be the doing of the Supreme God Itself.”

Luoqi naturally understood what Shane meant.

If it was the Supreme God, then initiating the Hero Summoning ritual alone would be a piece of cake.

After all, the ritual was created by the Supreme God and sealed at the end of the Divine World. No one but the Supreme God could enter the Barrier, let alone the fact that the Supreme God alone could probably provide all the Magic Power needed for the ritual.

Since the Hero Summoning ritual operates with the Magic Power of the world itself, how could the Supreme God, as the creator of the world, not satisfy the conditions needed for using the ritual?

Therefore, if there truly was a fourth method of summoning the Hero, it would definitely be an act of summoning personally carried out by the Supreme God.

And if the Supreme God conducted the summoning Itself, the ritual wouldn’t need to draw upon the world’s Magic Power, and thus it would not cause any significant disturbance.

With this in consideration, as long as Nien is the Supreme God, all the circumstances of Shane’s summoning would match up with the reality.

Except…

“Setting aside for a moment the discrepancies between the Goddess Nien you’ve mentioned and the rumored Supreme God, what could possibly be the motivation behind the summoning itself?”

Luoqi raised the most fundamental question.

“Just as I mentioned before, Supreme God Ominis’s only natural enemy is the Demon King, and It only cares about the Demon King. Other than the Demon King, nothing could threaten this omnipotent Goddess.”

Even if the world were destroyed, Ominis could restore it with a snap of Her fingers.

Even if life came to an end, Ominis could revive everyone instantly, and at the very least, create new life, new Races.

As long as it’s not due to the Demon King’s Power that something ceased to exist, Supreme God Ominis could control it all as She pleases.

That’s what omnipotence is.

Bluntly speaking, there’s nothing in this world that She can’t do.

The reason Ominis can’t interfere with Otherworlds is precisely because those worlds are independent concepts, not accepted or recognized by the mystical, not resistant to the mystical, but fundamentally devoid of it. These worlds are excluded by the mystical, like leaves that have fallen from a tree and no longer absorb nutrients; no matter how much water you pour on them, they can’t grow into what you want.

Therefore, Supreme God Ominis is truly omnipotent, just with a natural enemy.

And the Demon King was that natural enemy.

Now, the Demon King has perished, struck down by the Hero’s Holy Sword, and Supreme God Ominis uses Her own Power to suppress the Demon King’s revival. From the perspective of destiny, She has eliminated the possibility of the Demon King’s return, eradicating that natural enemy. With that in mind, there’s no reason to believe that this omnipotent Goddess would need to secretly summon a Hero.

With no necessity, how could one believe that it was this Goddess who summoned Shane?

“Because It is too omnipotent, we can’t imagine what could have happened that would require the Supreme God to secretly initiate the Hero Summoning ritual and call forth your presence.”

Luoqi shared her own opinion.

“Lacking motive, devoid of reason, beyond imagination, and impossible to discern, so the likelihood of Nien being the Supreme God Ominis, to anyone, seems very, very low.”

That was Luoqi’s thinking, as well as Vivian’s, right?

Otherwise, those two wouldn’t have been so adamant last time about eliminating the possibility of the Supreme God’s involvement in this summoning incident.

Now, Luoqi wasn’t so adamant anymore.

Because, if even existences at the level of the Three Great Goddesses knew nothing about this matter, then one could only think that maybe it was an existence at the level of the Supreme God that could touch upon the insider details of this incident.

The only question was, if it really was the hand of the Supreme God, what was the reason, what was the rationale, and what exactly had happened.

Without unraveling these questions, one could never be certain that Nien, who had conducted the Hero Summoning, was the Supreme God Ominis.

“Could there be some other threat?” Shane pondered and then said, “Even without the Demon King as a natural enemy, isn’t there still the Hero?”

Shane’s meaning was simple.

“Is it possible that an existence like a Hero has become a threat to the Supreme God Ominis?”

Shane certainly didn’t believe that all Heroes would be good people.

Following the usual trope, there might be a Hero who took a dark path or a Hero corrupted by the Demon King’s power after killing the Demon King, becoming the big Boss. Wouldn’t that be just as possible?

A Hero like that posed a threat to the Supreme God Ominis, so Ominis needed to restart the Hero Summoning to cope with the threatening Hero, could this be possible?

“You… you really dare to think…” Luoqi seemed startled by Shane’s wild hypothesis, and then hastily said, “But I must tell you, your imagination is pointless, you know?”

“Why?” Shane immediately threw out a question.

“Because even a Hero couldn’t possibly threaten the Supreme God,” Luoqi said bluntly: “The Hero’s Holy Sword can defeat the Demon King and the Demon Clan, harming them with holy power so that they cannot be resurrected, but it doesn’t have the same effect on the Divine Race.”

“Under such circumstances, even if a Hero were powerful enough to kill the Supreme God, the Supreme God could be resurrected in a single breath, and can’t be truly defeated.”

“Heroes, Demon Kings, and Goddesses, these three actually have a relationship of mutual restraint.”

“The Holy Sword of the Hero can take down the Demon King.”

“The Demon King can nullify the power of the Goddesses.”

“And the Goddesses can ignore the threat of the Hero.”

“Therefore, the Hero is the natural enemy of the Demon King, the Demon King is the natural enemy of the Goddesses, and the Goddesses are the natural enemy of the Hero. That’s the relationship between the three.”

“Naturally, the situation you mentioned, where a Hero is corrupted by the Demon King’s power, that also is not going to happen. The Holy Sword would immediately remove such corruption, and a Hero who has fallen from grace might even be rejected by the holy power of the Holy Sword, causing the Holy Sword to shatter and disappear.”

“After all, the Holy Sword is a power born from the concept of ‘Hero.’ If one falls to evil, then they are no longer a Hero. Once the concept of ‘Hero’ is lost, the Holy Sword naturally disappears, and how could such a Hero possibly threaten the Supreme God?”

Luoqi said all this in one breath, thus trying to reassure Shane.

“Don’t think too much about it. Instead of dwelling on something that’s impossible, you might as well really consider the possibility of the Demon King’s revival.”

“Didn’t that Goddess named Nien tell you? Your purpose in being summoned is to defeat the Demon King?”

“Even if it seems impossible for the Demon King to revive under normal circumstances, now that it’s certain your affairs might touch the secretive level of the Supreme God, every possibility has to be taken into account.”

Luoqi’s words plunged Shane back into silence.

“Sigh…”

In the end, Shane could only heave a sigh, looking out the window at the scenery, murmuring to himself.

“I really wish I could have a cheat in life…”
