"You said the Master was created by you?"

Ethan had to admit that even though he had seen many big scenes, he was still shocked by the news revealed by Super Little Lindong.

He had originally thought that the Master of the Holy City would be a cold and ruthless king, but the reality was that it was a super artificial intelligence created under the direction of Lindong.

"Messiah, that's the name we gave to It."

As she spoke, Super Little Lindong returned to her usual work mode, with a flat tone that sounded like an AI reciting a script, "We poured all our understanding and imagination of 'god' into that project. To obtain funding from the council, we painted many grand visions for the investors."

At this point, she seemed to recall something and explained to Ethan, "The situation in the Holy City is unlike anywhere you're familiar with. A few families control all resources, and each person's role is fixed from the moment of birth."

A world without upward mobility, with clear class divisions, and no hope.

This was her evaluation of the Holy City.

Therefore, as the "First Seat" of the Holy City, the representative genius in the eyes of the council, after hundreds of years since Messiah's birth, she heard voices from deep within the black hole and opened Pandora's box without hesitation.

This was how she found amusement.

Unlike most people, her new goal was to achieve galaxy- and plane-level traversal, turning the "traversal" found in novels into a controllable behavior. Although she lost most of her memories due to the Omega Blocker, the project was progressing smoothly.

Being hit by a truck or choosing an auspicious day to leap from the city's tallest building were nothing more than romantic fantasies in books; Lindong demonstrated with practical actions that one of the prerequisites for "traversal" was establishing contact with an Old God.

Of course, Super Little Lindong admitted that the project still had many muddled aspects, but due to the influence of the Omega Blocker on her main body, it had been unable to progress further.

But she was willing to let this foolish adventure continue.

She was very aware of how rare her main body's current empty-headed, vacant gaze was, even turning herself into a ragdoll cat to act cute and roll around in front of Ethan.

All these became important video footage.

When she finally regains her senses and looks back at this carefree black history, she will surely want to find a hole to disappear into.

"In that regard, you've earned my recognition."

Super Little Lindong gave Ethan a thumbs up.

All the black history has been archived, and it will surely shine brightly in the near future.

"Thanks to you, I've come to many new realizations about myself, and these are quite valuable materials."

She never let herself idle; observing the foolish main body's actions had long become her new plan, "Believe me, it's a wonderful feeling, often making one sigh 'I actually did this?'."

"For example?"

"For example, I discovered I'm someone who holds grudges and never lets go."

...

The room fell into a stony silence, and Ethan's shocked expression only intensified the awkward atmosphere.

In that moment, he suddenly understood that even geniuses could have misconceptions about themselves.

That "actually" was the soul of it all, its absurdity no less than Rowena drunkenly revealing her deepest secret to everyone — that she had never been in a relationship.

But in reality, apart from the clearly confused Super Little Lindong, everyone familiar with Lindong knew she was petty and could hold grudges for years.

"What does that look mean?"

Super Little Lindong finished her hamburger meal, her expression unkind.

As they say, one loses authority when taking someone's food, but having finished the hamburger meal, she naturally spoke more confidently than before.

"What else?"

Ethan had to change the subject.

This was a familiar look; in the past, when Lindong stared at him like this, it usually meant something bad would happen that night.

There are many ways to get revenge, and his girlfriend clearly preferred surprise attacks in the middle of the night.

These things didn't escape Little Dark's notice. She reported Lindong's violent tendencies to the Imperial Knight Commander Other Shore more than once, saying Lindong often locked the bedroom door at night to "deal with" Ethan. At those times, Other Shore would take her to a nearby restaurant to buy a hot dog bun or a strawberry-flavored sandwich, telling her that children are growing and need to eat more.

After being dissuaded by Other Shore a few times, Little Dark reasoned with Ethan that there was a dark fact of interests being secretly exchanged between the Imperial Knight Commander and Lindong.

"There is much more."

Super Little Lindong fell into deep thought, still trying to analyze the situation from an academic perspective. "I didn't expect I actually like being tied up, or blindfolded... Hmm, could it be because of the high-intensity online surfing of female knight-themed works in the past?"

"What on earth are you talking about here all of a sudden!"

Ethan slammed the table and stood up.

This dangerous topic had to be stopped immediately; he decided to steer the conversation back on track, and also address another shocking fact that Lindong had plainly revealed earlier, "You mentioned that the Messiah was born hundreds of years ago?"

"Its birth brought many changes to the Holy City. Initially, families regarded It as a tool, but nowadays, they have become completely subject to Its management. Essentially, they are no different from the lowest residents of the Holy City."
