What Do You Mean I Have To Comprehend Dao As A Mortal God?
Chapter 155: Rules Of My Halo
Well... So at least I got a clue on what the rules are for my halo... At least I think so...
I still need to experiment on it a little more so let me try more stuff... Of course I got Olivia to help me with this.
Sure, I could just do this in front of a mirror but I’d think that I might get distracted and not even realise the halo had appeared until much later which wouldn’t help prove my point.
The good thing was that Olivia was more than happy to help me with the test and I let her sit down on the couch in the living room while I proceeded on with the test.
Naturally, I checked to make sure that she didn’t have anything else important to do before this, and apparently she was just here to make sure that I had no complaints about the new penthouse.
She even set aside this time specifically to deal with any problems I might have with it so it was fine for me to make use of her for this right now.
So my current hypothesis was that this is another skill of mine that allows me to obtain information that I need to which may be related to another skill of mine.
Like if I needed to know how my Qi functioned and differed from how mana is handled, I could extract that information or something...
Now, what I wanted to know was if it applied in other cases as well?
So let’s go with the first thing that I want to know...
What is the god that I have awakened as?
...
Nothing? Hmm... How about...
What’s the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow? Would be funny for me to tell Olivia about this.
Ah... Hmm... There isn’t an actual metric for ’airspeed velocity’ to begin with... But if we were to measure it by airspeed--
"It’s there, my Lord," Olivia called out.
I kind of figured that when information I shouldn’t have known started appearing in my head.
I paused and cleared my mind, which should cause the halo behind me to disappear.
Ok... So it’s definitely working but for some reason, I can’t find out which Mortal God I am through this ability.
What’s the limit to this?
My gaze drifted to Olivia.
I wonder what are Olivia’s three sizes?
...
A hundred and--
"It’s there again, my Lord," She interrupted my thoughts.
I sucked in a breath, "Olivia... What’s the size of your boobs in centimetres?"
She blinked, "Eh? Ah! I believe last I checked... It was a hundred and six?"
I sucked in a breath, "I believe it got bigger... It should be a hundred and eight cm right now..."
She looked down at herself, "That would explain why my chest feels tighter... Wait... Is that skill supposed to give you information that you want to know, my Lord?"
I nodded, "Seems like it... When I really want to know about certain information, this skill seems to activate. At least I think so..."
She tilted her head, "What else could it be?"
"I mean... I tried to find out what God I was supposed to be, but that skill didn’t seem to activate... So there must be some rule or limitation to the skill that I’m not sure of right now." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Olivia hummed, "Could I try something, my Lord?"
I nodded, "Sure, go ahead."
She came up to me and took my hand before bringing it to her chest and made me grope her boob.
I couldn’t help myself and gave it a squeeze, enjoying the softness of her chest before snapping myself out of it.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Could you try using your skill again to figure out my size?"
Hmm? Oh. I get what she’s trying to do.
Maybe the knowledge of her boob size was something that I had instinctively known from my interaction with her so maybe the knowledge wasn’t accurate?
But... I don’t think her boob size would change in such a short time, right?
Still, I think Olivia probably has some insight into this so let me try it out like she suggested.
Now... What’s her boob size again... Hmmm... Nope, I’m still getting the same result... And I even went ahead to give her boob a few more squeezes just to make sure.
"I’m still getting the same result though?" I informed her.
"Hmm... I see... I’m flexing my muscles to increase the measurement of my chest right now... So that means your ability does not rely on your instinctual knowledge and neither does it use current, possibly inaccurate, information to determine what you should know."
Err... Does that even work?
I hummed, "So this ability of mine gives me the real truth despite everything else?"
"It does seem like that is the case, my Lord."
I nodded and I was going to pull my hand back, only to realise that Olivia was still holding my hand not letting me go at all.
I looked down at her hand, then up to her, trying to get her attention down to her hand as well so that she would release me.
She blushed and sputtered, "Umm... You don’t need to stop, my Lord..."
Right... I almost forgot that she’s also just as horny as Ava... Hmm... Maybe Ava is more lewd than she is so Olivia’s just a tad better.
Since she offered, I’m not the type of person to say no to a meal that has been offered to me so I went ahead to start groping those two marvelous globes in front of me.
Olivia stifled a moan and enjoyed the feeling of my fingers for a while before she spoke up again.
"My Lord... If you would allow me to hypothesize something related to this skill of yours?"
"Hmm? Go ahead."
She shuddered a little when I squeezed on her boobs, "I believe this allows you to access knowledge that is known by someone in the world whether it is recorded or instinctive. But if it’s something that no one knows, you won’t know either."
I frowned, "So that means someone in the world knows about the difference between Mana and Qi back when I was explaining it to you guys?"
"If I am not wrong, my Lord... There are people who know about that Qi energy and people who know about Mana. Your ability basically accessed both sides and allowed you to understand the difference between them."
"Hmm... That’s interesting... I suppose that would explain some stuff about the skill not telling me certain stuff... But that also means that it can give me things that aren’t true right? Hold on... I just had an idea..."
I removed my hands from Olivia’s tits which made her let out a moan of disappointment.
As much as I wanted to go right back to squeezing them, I just thought of something that I really needed to check right away.
I took out my phone and navigated to the search page to search up recent murders around the world.
The first one that popped up on my screen was an obscure murder that happened on the other side of the world where the victim was found dead in their home with the killer still at large.
Now... Who is the killer involved in this crime?
...
...
Ok, I honestly did expect an answer to pop into my head but nothing happened.
"I’m guessing no halo appeared?" I asked.
Olivia shook her head, "I’m afraid not, my Lord."
Hmm... Maybe something closer to home?
How about... Who was the one in charge of designing my bedroom?
...
Hmm? Wait... Not even that? Why not? I thought Maylene being the answer might pop in my head since she already told me it was her that did it, right? Or was it not her? But if it wasn’t, why didn’t the answer pop up then?
This skill is really confusing me right now...
Wait... Maybe...
"Ask me a question, Olivia."
"Oh... Umm... What would you like me to ask?"
"Anything. I think I might know another limit to this skill of mine. At least... Maybe... Just ask a question that I shouldn’t be able to know the answer to right now."
"In that case... What colour was my underwear yesterday?"
I sucked in a breath and I could tell that the halo appeared behind me by how Olivia’s eyes widened when she looked at the space behind me.
"Black... With red accents..." I answered her.
She squirmed a little before asking, "What about Ava’s underwear right now?"
I sucked in a breath as the answer appeared in my head clear as day.
"She’s not wearing any right now..."
"Oh? I should have expected such a thing from that lewd elf..."
I showed her my phone, "Ask me about the killer here."
"Ah. Who is the killer of this victim, my Lord?"
I paused before sucking in a breath.
"Ok... Seems like it’s the brother who dealt the final blow but the sister is also involved..."
Why did it work now?
This new skill of mine is way too weird...
