"I don't make a habit of guessing at plans based on something as unreliable as intuition when I have no information."
Unlike that "Goddess of Wisdom" who was still hauling bricks alongside sadistic Kazuma in the world of Re:CREATORS, this goddess, who possessed the wisdom of an old woman, decisively refused to answer.

"You really are boring."
The goddess with eyes as dark as night pursed her lips. Looking at the boy who clearly had his own agenda, she slowly voiced her thoughts under his gaze, based on what she knew of Li Zihan and her limited understanding of this world.
"There are only two things I can be certain of. First, your goal is to reach the single-digit realm that has never appeared in this world. Second, you are deliberately provoking this world's upper-echelon figures for the sake of an intermediate objective before your ultimate goal."
"The reason?"
His thoughts having been seen through, the boy looked with interest at the goddess's profile, which appeared rather cute due to her childlike form, and asked.
