Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: A beautiful young girl over 500 years old

God of Destruction Realm.

Sitting cross-legged on the grass, Beryl slowly opened her eyes.

"My encounter with Evil God D actually allowed me to further my control over Destruction Energy."

Beryl brushed the dust off herself and stood up.

Among the Gods of Destruction, I should no longer be at the bottom.

Beryl still had a clear understanding of herself; compared to those Gods of Destruction who had been cultivating for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, the time she had spent cultivating Destruction Energy was not even a fraction of theirs.

However, there was a significant difference between her and those conventional Gods of Destruction: she could also cultivate the Creation Energy of a Supreme Kai.

This point even surprised her teacher, the former God of Destruction.

Because no God of Destruction could cultivate Creation Energy, and similarly, no Supreme Kai could cultivate Destruction Energy; this was an ironclad rule of the universe.

Moreover, the appearance of the Chat Group also opened up a wider space beyond the world for her.

To describe it in another way—

"We have obtained the power to negate the world from outside the world."

Speaking of which, that Princess of the Abyss was quite wary of her.

Do different experiences create different personalities?

Thinking about it, it's true. If the Princess of the Abyss, who can use the power of the Abyss, and a golden-haired Traveler, who is easily swayed, had the same personality, then the Abyss would be too pathetic.

Those who hold a position must bear its weight.

As the leader of a faction, caution is understandable.

Beryl focused her attention on the Chat Group.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Why is it so quiet?"]

Although there weren't many people in the group, it shouldn't be so silent for such a long time.

Beryl scrolled back through the group chat history.

Most of the group members' conversations stopped shortly after Kumoko's livestream ended.

The main questions discussed were a few: How strong is the Group Leader? What is a God? What is a Universe Administrator?

However, there seemed to be no answers, and then it just fizzled out.

[Kumoko: "Eh, eh, eh? The Group Leader is online! That's great, we have so many questions to ask."]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "What do you want to ask? I can answer anything I can, but, Kumoko, how did you deal with that dragon?"]

[Kumoko: "Ah, wasn't it for eating? Group Leader, you want some?"]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "No, I just asked casually."]

She had eaten dragon meat before, and it was nothing special.

Besides, she wasn't like the Sixth and Seventh Universe, those two gluttons who would fight over instant noodles.

She, Beryl, was a proper God.

[Kumoko: "Sorry, I accidentally ate it all. I also don't know how to transfer this dragon meat to you."]

Kumoko tried to find a way to transfer items in the Chat Group, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't find anything.

There was no other way; she had to reluctantly eat it all by herself.

But the more she ate, the more addicted she became, and it even granted experience points—this was too much.

With the mindset of rather stuffing herself to death than starving, Kumoko gnawed a giant fire dragon down to a skeleton in a short amount of time.

[Kumoko: "Dragon meat is so delicious! If I could eat a dragon every day, I'd wake up laughing even in my sleep."]

Eating a dragon every day? Beryl was speechless at Kumoko's delusion.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "@Kumoko, aren't you afraid of turning into a roasted spider? Do you know what the title of that dragon named Güliedistodiez is?"]

[Kumoko: "Title?"]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "He is the Dragon God of the Dragon Race. If he heard what you just said..."]

[Kumoko: "Eh, Dragon, Dragon God?"]

Shouting about eating dragon meat in front of the Dragon God of the Dragon Race?

Kumoko slapped her forehead; the scene was too beautiful, she dared not imagine it further.

Perhaps instead of eating dragon meat, her tiny spider body would be hung on a barbecue grill.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "I have an agreement with Evil God D, including Güliedistodiez, that they cannot casually attack you. But the condition is that you, Kumoko, don't jump around too much, like eating a dragon every day or something..."]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Of course, you can eat it if you want. At that time, Güliedistodiez won't harm your life; at most, he'll pluck a few spider legs every day and hang them up as cured meat."]

[Kumoko: "Eh, that harsh?"]

Beryl: "..."

Don't you think eating a dragon every day is harsher?

And, you're so tiny, how did you gobble up a giant dragon hundreds or thousands of times your size in such a short amount of time?

Is a spider's stomach a four-dimensional pocket?

Complaining aside, Beryl saw that someone else had sent a message on the public screen.

Lumine?

Changing her nickname to her name, did this indicate a decrease in vigilance?

[Lumine: "@World's No. 1 Princess, I'd like to ask the Group Leader some questions. What is your understanding of gods?"]

Traveling across countless worlds with her brother Aether, she had seen many, many things, but she still didn't quite understand the word 'god'. The definition of a god varied in different worlds.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "@Lumine, I didn't expect you to be the first to be unable to resist. I thought Uchiha Madara would be the first to ask this question."]

[Uchiha Madara: "..."]

I wanted to ask, but I didn't know where to start. Besides, the previous livestream from Kumoko revealed too many things he didn't understand.

[Lumine: "Can you answer? If not..."]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "It's not a problem. Actually, I'm a bit surprised that I'm explaining the concept of a god to you so soon, but since Evil God D has appeared, it's fine to talk about it early."]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "@Lumine, you and your brother have traveled through many worlds, right? And you've encountered some gods among them. Actually, you yourself can be considered a god."]

In the Pure Land, Uchiha Madara looked at the Chat Group's messages, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Princess of the Abyss... a god.

Was that golden-haired little girl also a more powerful existence than him?

After witnessing the confrontation between Evil God D and Beryl, Uchiha Madara completely put away his pride.

His own strength seemed to be nothing special.

He just didn't expect that among the two new group members, one would be a god.

"What kind of place is the Abyss mentioned in the Princess of the Abyss's profile?"

Uchiha Madara curiously clicked on Lumine's avatar; there was some information about that world below.

It wasn't very useful information, only mentioning that the Abyss was not to be looked upon directly.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "@Uchiha Madara, are you checking Lumine's information and doubting your own strength?"]

[Uchiha Madara: "No, I, Uchiha Madara, fear nothing."]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Oh, let's just assume that."]

[Uchiha Madara: "..."]

You don't believe me at all, do you? Don't think I don't know.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Actually, in the Ninja World, you, Uchiha Madara, can also be considered a god to ordinary ninjas."]

[Haibara Ai: "The Group Leader means that a god refers to someone with extraordinary power? In other words, someone with strength beyond what ordinary people can achieve."]

Although the "Detective Conan" world seemed to have no supernatural beings, as a highly intelligent scientist, Haibara Ai quickly grasped the key point from the Group Leader's words.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "If you want to understand it that way, it's not impossible. The definition of a god varies in different worlds, and it's hard to explain clearly."]

[World's No. 1 Princess: "It's usually related to strength and lifespan. For example, Lumine, a beautiful young girl who is at least 500 years old, is already considered a god or immortal to ordinary people in Teyvat."]

[Lumine: "..."]

At Qingyun Peak, a tic mark appeared on Lumine's forehead.

A beautiful young girl is enough, what's with adding 'at least 500 years old'?

Does it mean I'm old enough to be a grandmother?

[Uchiha Madara: "500 years old, huh? Can't tell at all."]

[Haibara Ai: "Unbelievable, someone can live that many years. However, someone who can survive for so long, even without immense strength, would be called a living fossil by ordinary people."]

There was one sentence Haibara Ai didn't say: at least 500 years old, but without enough strength to protect herself, it's more likely she would end up in a laboratory and constantly dissected.
