With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Lin Fan thought about it for a bit before finally giving a simplified version of the theory, "It\'s a theory that was developed on Earth. It talks about how different places can have different rates of time based on different factors."

It was a theory that many top scientists on Earth had trouble grasping, so it wasn\'t as if someone like Lin Fan could explain it that easily.

Weiss fell into deep thought for a bit before saying, "But time is governed by the god of time, so it\'s something that\'s being controlled by him. There shouldn\'t be anything that should be able to distort it with him there."

God of time?

Lin Fan felt his head ache when he heard this since this was getting just too complicated for him…

So he just said, "Let\'s just say that the flow of time is different between the gods of time of Earth and this world. Does that make sense?"

At this, Weiss gave a nod of agreement since this was something that he could understand.

Lin Fan just rubbed his temples when he saw this.

This really was getting just too complicated for him to follow…Gods of time and science…He really didn\'t know what to believe anymore…

Weiss on the other hand didn\'t seem to care as he asked, "Then you\'re telling me that you do know about mangas?"

Lin Fan was pulled out of his thoughts by this sudden question and he just said in a daze, "Well I\'ve read a few in my time…"

Weiss immediately came forward until he was right in Lin Fan\'s face and asked in an excited voice, "What happens in One Piece?"

"Huh?"

That was the only answer that Lin Fan could give in response to this. Just this one question had completely wiped all the thoughts from his mind and made his mind blank.

He just looked at Weiss like he didn\'t understand what was happening right now since he really couldn\'t…

But Weiss wouldn\'t let him recover his thoughts as he asked, "What happened in the Wano Country Arc? Is it over yet? Did he find the One Piece?"

There were black lines that kept appearing on Lin Fan\'s forehead, but in the end, he still told the story of what happened in One Piece to Weiss to the best he could remember.

Once he was done, Weiss revealed a satisfied look, but he also couldn\'t help feeling disappointed as he said, "So it\'s still not over yet…I\'ll have to wait for the next otherworlder to come before I can find out what happens in the end…"

Lin Fan really didn\'t know what to say in response to this.

After giving a sigh, Weiss then said, "I should give you a reward for telling me all of this…But before that, I still have a few more questions to ask you."

Lin Fan was prepared for some other silly question, but Weiss suddenly revealed a serious look and said, "Why do you have the traces of another god on you?"

Lin Fan felt a chill run down his spine in the face of Weiss\' serious look and he immediately raised his guard again. He had let his guard down temporarily after seeing how silly Weiss had been acting, but now that he was acting seriously, Lin Fan could see the dignity that came with being a god.

That was right, Weiss was a god just like Aphrodite, he was not someone that Lin Fan could look down on.

As expected, he immediately noticed the trace of the other gods that Lin Fan had. The only thing that Lin Fan was worrying about now was which god he had found traces of.

So Lin Fan didn\'t answer this question right away as he waited for Weiss to speak first.

After a long time, Weiss finally said, "I see now, it\'s Aphrodite, that old hag!"

Lin Fan let out an internal sigh of relief when he heard this.

It seemed like he had only detected the traces of Aphrodite and hadn\'t found his system from the God of Earth.

That system was his biggest secret, even greater than his secret as an otherworlder. After all, it seemed like otherworlders were common in this world, so it wasn\'t as big of a deal for that secret to be discovered.

However, the system he received from the God of Earth was his greatest assurance in living a good life in this world, so if he were to lose that…

Lin Fan responded, "I met the goddess when I was exploring some ruins and I returned a divine artifact to her, that must have been where the traces of her divine power attached itself to me."

Weiss looked carefully at Lin Fan for a bit before shaking his head and saying, "No, it\'s more than that. It\'s as if there\'s a part of her divine power that\'s infused to you."

Lin Fan was confused at first, but then he remembered something as he said, "Ah, it must be the skill that the goddess bestowed upon me."

Weiss narrowed his eyes again before giving a nod, "That\'s what it is! So she gave you a skill, must be a disgusting one then."

Then Weiss turned to look at Rokuko and after scrutinizing her for a bit, he suddenly said, "You aren\'t a dungeon core that was completely formed from my system either, are you? I can feel traces of that old hag\'s disgusting power on you as well."

Rokuko who had been sitting there in a daze from not understanding a single thing that the two of them were saying suddenly sat up straight when she heard this. She looked at Weiss with a devastated look and said, "Then am I not your child, father?"

Weiss shook his head and said, "That\'s not correct either. It could be said that you were still born from my system, but the energy that came from forming your core didn\'t come from my magic, but rather from that old hag\'s divine power. It could even be said that you\'re a step above the rest of the other divine cores since you were made with the power of two gods."

Rokuko didn\'t care about this talk about power at all, she just said, "Then does that mean that I also have a mother?"

Weiss immediately revealed a disgusted look, but he didn\'t refute it as he said, "In a sense, it could be said that you are a child formed from my and that old hag\'s power. But being associated in any way with her really disgusts me."

Rokuko looked at him with big wide tearful eyes when she heard this.

To Lin Fan\'s surprise, Weiss immediately changed his tone when he saw her acting like this. He went from that disgusted voice to a gentle voice and said, "No matter what, you are still one of my children."

As he said this, he reached out his hand to pat Rokuko on her head.

Rokuko felt the gentle warmth coming from this hand and revealed a bright smile.

Lin Fan couldn\'t help being surprised by how much of a father Weiss was actually acting.

What he didn\'t know was that Weiss\' goal in creating these dungeon cores was to get some research assistants. As the god of magic, there were many new types of magic that he had to research and of course he couldn\'t do all of this alone.

He had planned on using the dungeon cores created as assistants and the ones that had been created earlier had been used for this purpose. But as he spent more and more time with them, he became more and more fond of them.

It even reached the point where he began looking at them like they were his children.

So even if he didn\'t show it sometimes since he had to maintain his dignity as a god, he did look at these dungeon cores like they were his children.

That was why he had stepped in earlier when True Dragon Lord Astaroth had tried to save his face. He could feel that if he allowed this, True Dragon Lord Astaroth would take a path that went beyond what he was willing to allow.

After all, it hurt him to see his children hurting each other.

Some competition to obtain his love was something normal since he had read that siblings liked to fight each other, but if they really meant harm to one another…Then he wouldn\'t hesitate to stop them.

After he patted Rokuko on the head for a bit to calm her down, Weiss turned back to Lin Fan and said, "Like I said, I just wanted to ask you a few questions. Now that you\'ve answered those questions, I\'ll let you go."

Then as if he had remembered something, he suddenly said, "Right, before I send you off, I should give you some kind of reward for winning the mock dungeon war and answering my questions."

Weiss stroked his chin as he muttered to himself, "What should I give you?"

He suddenly looked like he had thought of something and with a flick of his hand, he threw two tiny balls of light at Rokuko and Lin Fan.

Then without any hesitation, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go now."

Before Lin Fan and Rokuko could even react, they had been released from the chairs they had been trapped in and thrown out the door that had appeared behind them.

When the scene around them stabilized, they found that they had been thrown back out into the conference hall.
