God Remains and Evil Gods

The Inner World, the S-rank Highest-Tier Station.

"Which kind? Are there different types of God Remains?"

Bai Zhi pulled down his rolled-up sleeves again and asked with great interest.

"God Remains is God Remains; there's no such thing as different types. I'm asking about the scope of influence."

The White-haired Man in Sunglasses curled his lip.

"I encountered a Mandatory Quest related to a God Remains a long time ago. Can you imagine? A body buried underground for who knows how long could have affected everyone in the entire country, turning them all into Monster."

"Hmm... Could you elaborate on the matters related to the God Remains? I'm suddenly becoming quite interested."

Bai Zhi reached up and touched his chin, his expression slightly complicated as he asked the other person a question.

"This kind of thing is confidential, but there's no one else here except you right now. Considering our cooperative relationship, it's not Wu Chang to tell you this."

After thinking for a moment, the White-haired Man in Sunglasses waved his hand and closed the door to the Infirmary.

"First of all, how much do you know about the existence of 'God'?"

"Well..."

Bai Zhi glanced slightly at the Girl sitting on the Platoon Leader behind him, his expression subtly revealing his thoughts.

However, the other person seemed to have long been used to being ignored, and there was no other extra emotion on their face. Instead, they took out a Diary from their pocket and quietly started writing in it.

"God... is a being far more powerful than humans?"

"That's too superficial a definition; the two are not even on the same level of Life Level."

The White-haired Man in Sunglasses shook his head.

"Take humans and ants as an example. A single drop of human blood is enough to drown an ant, but in the ant's eyes, it is the blood of a god. Our definition of God Remains is like the ant's definition of that drop of blood, only the former is far more terrifying than the latter."

"Blood that has been exposed to nuclear radiation and has become diseased?"

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Are these so-called God Remains just the corpses of humans who have suffered severe nuclear radiation exposure?"

"Uh... more or less."

The White-haired Man in Sunglasses twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"First, you need to understand the concept of Gods. Those born at birth are Innate God, while those born later are Gods." Most Innate God born at birth are ignorant and confused, like newborn infants. Most of them were killed and had their Divinity taken away, so they are rarely seen now. Therefore, when we refer to 'gods', we generally mean Gods."

"Divinity and books? What are those?"

Bai Zhi asked the other person with some curiosity.

--Back then, a certain White-haired loli suspected that he possessed a Divinity presence.

"Even if you ask me, I don't know, since I've never obtained anything that precious."

The White-haired Man in Sunglasses seemed to roll his eyes.

"I'm just a field Doctor, do you think I'm an encyclopedia? While Gods are generally hard to kill, once they die, their Strength remains in their bodies. This uncontrolled Strength erupts uncontrollably, which is what's known as the Calamity of God Remains... Such missions are rare."

The White-haired Man in Sunglasses looked utterly wistful.

"Since becoming Player, I've only encountered this one quest. I originally had the chance to gain Divinity and embark on the Path to Ascension, but what a pity."

As he said this, he looked up and glanced at Bai Zhi.

"If you were any stronger and could bring back that God Remains, then you would truly be rich. The value of the God Remains themselves would be equivalent to several Epic Level Item."

"Bringing it back... Are you crazy?"

Looking at the White-haired Man in Sunglasses in front of him with a regretful expression, Bai Zhi rolled his eyes, slightly speechless.

"Let's not even talk about whether I could actually get that thing back from that giant and destroy the world."

"Destroy the world?"

The White-haired Man in Sunglasses looked utterly bewildered.

"What the hell did you encounter...? Wait, what is the sphere of influence of that God Remains you encountered?"

"Hmm... the whole world, perhaps."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi nodded.

"As for the source that affected the entire world, it was a Gray Finger. That should be the God Remains you mentioned. It looks quite... What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, my stomach hurts."

The White-haired Man in Sunglasses clutched his chest as if he had been shot with an arrow, his face expressionless.

"God Remains? I think you've encountered Evil God. A single finger can affect the entire world; that's definitely Evil God. The fact that you managed to return from a world with Evil God's background is just bad luck... Wait, you just said you saw the full picture of that Evil God's remains, right? A Gray Finger? You even saw the color clearly?"

Suddenly realizing something, the White-haired Man in Sunglasses appeared to have a toothache.

"So you really do possess Divinity, huh? And you even came here pretending to ask me what Divinity really is... Is this the ultimate form of showing off? What kind of investment are you trying to get from me this time?"

"Evil God? How come another Evil God has suddenly appeared?"

Too lazy to explain, Bai Zhi simply skipped it.

"Didn't you say before that based on the relationship between innate and acquired, there are Innate God and Gods? What are Evil Gods?"

"So-called Evil God are those wicked Gods who harbor the deepest malice towards Life... much like the Ultimate Anomaly Gestation from the Strength of an entire world after its destruction."

He glanced at him, White-haired Man in Sunglasses took a deep breath.

"Those Ultimate Anomaly born from the ruins of a world can all be categorized as belonging to the realm of Evil God. The Evil God you encountered should be of a higher level."

"Those Lord of Anomaly... the Ultimate Anomaly?"

Unconsciously thinking of the [Lord of Flesh and Blood] and the [Doll Princess] whom he had dealt with before, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Can these things also be called gods?"

"Of course, not all Ultimate Anomaly can be called Evil God. Only those that have begun to intentionally develop their own Retainer can be called Evil God."

As if he had thought of something, the White-haired Man in Sunglasses looked slightly gloomy.

"It's not just common; even Player can become Retainer. However, unlike common who passively accept this, Player actively choose to become Retainer in order to gain greater Strength... Beings like Evil God [Retainer] are deserving of everyone's wrath!!"

"Retainer... So what if common is passively made Retainer of Evil God?"

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"If a common unwittingly becomes Retainer of an Evil God, are they also to be killed?"

"That's right. Although it's unfair to them, it would be unfair to the rest of the world if we just let it go."

The White-haired Man in Sunglasses spoke with unprecedented resolve.

"[Retainer] beings must be completely exterminated!"
