Chapter 112: God-making
In Sui Bian's inherent thinking, the Olympian gods are somewhat... no, should say they have quite a problem.
Their relationships are chaotic, their personalities have flaws; among the twelve Olympian gods, the chief god Zeus
Hard to put into words.
Although Ares is not as good as his father Zeus, he's about the same, and his relationships with the other main gods are poor.
As the god of war, he was instead scolded by his sister Athena, quite embarrassing.
I never expected that the Olympian gods actually exist in this world, and Ares, who should have been quite embarrassing, bravely sacrificed himself.
"It seems necessary to strengthen the investigation of the European region."
Sui Bian muttered to himself, then continued asking the system: "System, explain the full usage rights of the three items."
【War God Ares has the special ability "Colossalization", able to maintain his height at 3 meters, and can instantaneously increase his height to 87 meters.
Ares' "Spear of Fear", "War God Armor", and "Flame Sword" also have similar properties.
If the host spends 1500 points to obtain full control, then these three items can vary within the maximum and minimum limits according to the host's subjective will.
Note: The attributes of the three items will not change due to size alteration.】
"Hmm, not bad, especially that Flame Sword and so on."
Sui Bian suddenly thought of the Emperor's Sword.
He immediately shook his head slightly with closed eyes, casting aside unrelated thoughts.
After clearing his thoughts, Sui Bian reopened his eyes and softly told the system: "I want to obtain full usage rights of those three items."
【Consuming 1500 points to change permissions in progress.
Change completed, congratulations host on obtaining usage rights of the three items; host's current points are 11867.
"Also, does this world still have items similar to the Spear of Fear?"
【Yes.】
"Good, I know." After receiving confirmation from the system, Sui Bian softly commanded the Red Empress standing to his left:
"Red Empress, notify the operatives deployed in Europe to focus on investigating the Greek region, then inform Captain Pulaise to heighten alert; the operatives may need 141's support."
"Yes." The Red Empress replied indifferently.
Since Ares possesses three divine artifacts, gods such as Apollo and Artemis should also possess corresponding artifacts.
He needs to master these artifacts as soon as possible to preemptively avoid anomalous events.
In addition to the aforementioned reasons, Sui Bian wants to select ten weapons and armors once used by the gods, to serve as the coming-of-age ceremony for Robert, John, and the other little Astate.
Although Sui Bian never puts caring words into speech, he will express them through action.
Whether emotionally or genetically, this group of little Astate are his children.
Sui Bian never imagined becoming a father in this way, but now he seems to have already adapted to the role of father.
Immediately afterward.
He restrained the involuntary faint smile, then softly told the White Empress standing to his right:
"White Empress, have BoKen and Chambos of the Mother Nest immediately organize their research teams to rush to Göbekli Tepe, and have Colonel Victor dispatch a company to provide escort."
"Moreover, I hope to build a large research center at Göbekli Tepe."
"So White Empress, I grant you the authority to design and mobilize personnel and funds to swiftly complete the construction of the research center."
"Yes, sir." The White Empress likewise replied softly.
"By the way, inform Dr. Rexik to come to my office." Sui Bian added.
"Okay."
After the conversation ended, the Red and White Empresses voluntarily dissipated their virtual projections and set about carrying out Sui Bian's orders.
Sui Bian continued to silently watch the recording, especially focusing on Lilith, who had become a living corpse.
After more than ten minutes, the office's automatic door opened; Alekxia, wearing a white lab coat, light denim jeans, and her hair tied in a single ponytail, walked into the office.
She came before Sui Bian and asked: "Sir, is there something?"
"This is the latest anomalous phenomenon discovered by the company's intelligence personnel; take a look first."
While speaking, Sui Bian lightly waved his left hand, turning the holographic screen to face Alekxia, and began playing the data sent back by Leon.
After another ten or so minutes, Alekxia, having finished reviewing all the data, wore a solemn expression, her brows tightly locked as she pondered.
Seeing her like that, Sui Bian reminded: "The company has already figured out the identities of those two giants."
?
Upon hearing this, Alekxia looked at Sui Bian with curiosity.
"It is Lilith and Ares."
"Oh? Actually Adam's first wife and the ancient Greek god of war? Hmm, this is quite interesting; it seems the relationship between humanity and the gods is quite delicate."
After gaining Sui Bian's clarification, Alekxia suddenly understood and began to mutter to herself.
She does not believe that humanity was created by the so-called gods.
As for the theory of evolution first proposed by Buffon and Lamarck, later synthesized by Darwin, she said it's fine to just take a look; some organisms simply cannot be explained by the theory of evolution.
Especially humanity.
While in the Göbekli Tepe ruins, the simultaneous existence of gods from two mythological systems shows that humanity was definitely not created by gods.
At least humanity's origins have nothing to do with God, or Prometheus and Athena, due to chronological and logical contradictions.
The idea that gods created humans is very likely a means for gods to confuse and deceive humanity.
"Rexik." Upon noticing Alekxia seemed to be pondering humanity's origins, Sui Bian immediately stopped her train of thought:
"The reason I summoned you is that I hope you, as a biological expert, can provide advice."
"Please speak, sir." Alekxia, having gathered her thoughts, asked.
"Rexik, do you think the company needs to create such a large-sized biological weapon?"
"Huge-bodied biological weapon" Alekxia first muttered it repeatedly, but immediately grasped Sui Bian's intent, her eyes lighting up as she said:
"Sir, you mean using Lilith and Ares' bodies and skeletons to create an Umbrella-exclusive."
"A god?!"
"That's about right." Sui Bian did not deny.
"Hmm" Alekxia pondered, but soon nodded and said:
"My suggestion is to try it, especially after the Sheheba fog incident, which made me realize that there exist incorporeal demon-like beings in this world."
Only weapons personally held by those specific individuals can effectively dispel them; therefore I think the company needs to prepare some backup plans.
Moreover, with the company's current technological capabilities, it is more than enough to replicate those so-called gods—hah, gods are nothing more than that."
At the end, Alekxia showed disdain, as if she was very displeased with those "false gods."
"Then you and BoKen, Chambos will be in charge of the god-making project, and I hope the drivers are Robert, John and those kids—only they can wield the power of the gods." Sui Bian said in a low voice.
