The gears were twisting.
The Ingenuity God, seated in the Kingdom of Mechanisms, was enjoying the offerings presented by its believers in world after world where its faith was spread.
It occasionally descended with a few miracles, receiving reverence from the praises of these ignorant, weak believers.
The Ingenuity God found this immensely satisfying.
It was a god, but it was not born a god. Initially, it was merely a small gear. Only by coming into contact with a special core did it gradually develop its own consciousness over time.
It then spent countless years before finally embarking on the path to godhood.
From the very bottom of the C-grade, initially used as a tool by the Goblin God, to now reaching the highest position of forty-ninth among the A-grade.
The Ingenuity God was quite proud of its efforts.
But whenever it remembered how its former forty-ninth rank had become the current fifty-fifth, the deepest core within its massive body ached faintly.
【Or perhaps, you're a coward like the goblins?】
"Huh?!"
Suddenly, it heard a blasphemous voice!
Who?!
Who dared to say such a thing in its church?!
It, the mighty Ingenuity God, how could mere goblins be mentioned in the same breath as it!
Although it was currently no match for those green-skinned monsters, one day it would be!
The enraged Ingenuity God projected a portion of its will toward the world from which it heard the voice.
"Huh? This strange Level Nine world? The monsters inside have a combined mechanical and flesh construction, yet they don't resemble any known race. No, now is not the time to dwell on that."
"Who! Who is insulting the great Ingenuity God!!!"
On the platform at the very front of the church, an eye and a mouth grew from the center of the gear enshrined by the believers.
The Ingenuity God saw what was happening in the church at that moment.
Its Grand Bishop was kneeling on the ground, silently praying. Numerous monks clad in power armor were facing a human, and also...
"Huh?"
"What kind of mechanical series is this? Cannot analyze? Cannot deconstruct?"
The eye rotated.
It firmly locked onto Eve.
"A brand new mechanical being? Interesting. If I can make it serve me and create more of the same series, my sequence can definitely continue to rise!"
The Ingenuity God thought greedily.
"No, wait? What is that black inverted cross? And this human..."
The eye rotated again, until it fixed dead on Ye Qiyan, who was walking step by step toward this place.
"Although it's a pity it's not the true body appearing."
"But at least it's much more enjoyable than that goblin."
"Then, Judge."
Without any hesitation, Ye Qiyan didn't even want to continue luring or anything.
After all, if it were to flee, it would just waste the consumption of an Arrest in the end.
A portion of the will of an A-grade God, no matter how small, as long as he directly killed it, he would definitely get a reward~
Not to mention this guy's name was Ingenuity.
Ingenuity~
Just looking at this name, one could tell this was a deity perfectly suited for him~
The things that would drop from it must be very good.
"???"
When the Ingenuity God saw the ring composed of seven Demon Cards appear behind this human, its heart felt slightly relieved, thinking this strand of its will could probably still be preserved.
But when a Blasphemy Card appeared in the center of this Ring of Evil.
The Ingenuity God felt fear!
It wanted to detach from this gear and return to its main body without hesitation, only to find that strand of will was already completely locked onto the small gear, unable to be separated!
"What's going on, why can't I leave!"
"Of course you can't leave."
Ye Qiyan smiled and extended his palm.
The Ingenuity God's clone trembled frantically, as if invisible chains bound it firmly in place, unable to move.
It looked at Ye Qiyan as if watching an evil human extending a hand as vast as a mountain range toward a weak deity like itself.
A voice like a massive bell rang in the Ingenuity God's ears.
【Determine Guilt】
The Justice Mark was already imprinted on the will of the Ingenuity God the moment the Judge appeared.
So what came next was.
【Adjudication!】
A light screen surged forth.
One crime after another appeared on it in sharp text.
Black Ebony spun in Ye Qiyan's hand.
Finally, its dark, gaping muzzle aimed at the gear, which was about the same size as it.
"Goodbye."
Bang—!
A crisp gunshot rang out.
The black-and-white interwoven bullet caused that gear to vanish into nothingness.
Far away in the Kingdom of Mechanisms, the Ingenuity God let out a piercing, world-reverberating scream.
"Ah!!!!"
Pain! Too painful!
All mechanical lifeforms knelt in terror toward the mountain-like massive machine and began to pray.
The massive body showed no change.
And the source of the sound was precisely at the deepest, most secure location within this body.
A body composed of gears, roughly only two meters tall, trembled and curled up beside a red core.
"Scary, so scary, that was the Blasphemy Card, can't win, absolutely can't win... that feeling, that feeling!"
"Damn damn damn! I am a god! How could I fear a mere..."
It thought this, but the final image transmitted back by that portion of its will surfaced in its mind again.
That evil human smiling at it from within the darkness!
That Blasphemy Card at the center of the card sequence!
Will die! Will die! Will die!
"Eek!!"
The true body of the Ingenuity God was enveloped in fear.
"No, can't look anymore, absolutely must not! That human, that human must not find me!"
Its heart was not strong.
That's why it had created this enormous mechanical body.
As 【Fate】 had said, they were False Gods, monsters possessing great power.
Since they were monsters, they would be afraid, they would feel fear.
"No, I remember, I remember the Supreme said, the power consumption of the Blasphemy Card is enormous, humans, humans can only use it once. If I descend directly now..."
"No! What if? What if that human has other methods! No! I can't die, I spent so many years becoming a god, why should I die at the hands of a human!
Blasphemy... blasphemy... Right! As long as I convey this matter to the Void Divine Court, and then tell that old man Fate, the rest will have nothing to do with me!"
The Ingenuity God trembled as it stood up, manipulated its massive body, and transmitted a single message to the Void Divine Court.
【I have discovered a possessor of a Blasphemy Card! The feeling is different from the transmission you mentioned before! It's a never-before-seen, unknown Blasphemy Card!】
