Chapter 790: 005
Charles stood next to Sparkle on the ruins of an island part of the Shattered Heart Isles. His remaining eye was wide open, and he stared agape at the woman wrapped in black bandages standing in front of him.
The Light God's words at the time finally had an explanation. His plan was to take His followers with Him to seek refuge in outer space, but He was deceived. The Light God crawled into the hole and fell straight into 002, ultimately meeting such a fate.
Charles gulped and asked, "Who deceived Him? Was it you?"
However, 005 immediately denied Charles' assumption. "No, as I said before, I am but a spectator. I do not interfere. If you want an answer to your question, then think about it—who are the ones doing everything they can to protect mankind?"
Sparkle, Charles, and 005 simultaneously turned to stare in the direction where SITE 6 once stood. The madmen of the Foundation were definitely capable of deceiving even a god.
"The Foundation? They actually managed to deceive the Light God?"
The corner of 005's mouth, which was covered in black bandages, curled up into an enigmatic smile. "The culprit was the Foundation, but not this batch. It was the previous batch."
"The previous batch?" Charles had trouble wrapping his mind around it. In the end, he retorted, "But the previous generation of the GK Council had fused to form the Light God!"
"That's right."005 nodded slightly."The first batch of the Foundation from the surface world had no intention of leaving the Subterranean Sea."
Just then, 005 raised her hand, and black debris emerged from the seawater, merging into several large black stone tablets.
There were some words engraved on the black stone tablet. "Written here are records of the second-generation Foundation about their predecessors. Read them for yourself."
Charles was familiar with the black stone tablets, and it didn't take him a long time to remember that T6 was using glossy black stone tablets to write her mathematical formulas.
"My dear colleagues, the fifteen years of research by our intelligence agency and myself have finally paid off in spades. We have finally uncovered the secret of what exactly happened to the previous generation of the Foundation.
"It turns out that they had been lying all this while; they had been deceiving everyone. They had falsely claimed to the low-ranking personnel of the Foundation that they just had to serve for a certain number of years, and they would be able to retire and return to the surface world.
005 raised her right foot wrapped in bandages and stepped into the seawater. "The first generation Foundation was aware of just how extremely fragile the humans on the surface world were.
"They knew that the humans there could not possibly withstand any invasion of whatever is in the Subterranean Sea. Thus, they vowed not to let anything from the Subterranean Sea reach the surface world, including themselves.
"So they modified their own memories and made themselves believe that the surface world had been completely destroyed. They made it their duty to restore the glory of mankind. To protect their colleagues on the surface, they did not hesitate to deceive even themselves, but they went a bit too far with it."
005 went silent, but Charles had been there, so she no longer had to tell him explicitly. The second-generation Foundation's prediction went true; the Light God fell straight into 002's embrace and ultimately perished in both body and soul.
005 walked over to Charles while stroking the black cat in her arms with one hand.
"Both generations of the Foundation have done everything in their own way to protect the seven billion people on the surface world. Now, it's your turn to do what they have done. What choice are you going to make, Charles?
"Are you going to let the fire of the Foundation die out?" 005 asked while walking in a circle around Charles.
Charles' mouth fluttered open to speak, but he immediately froze. He had no idea what to say. He remained in a daze for a long time until he finally looked up to stare at 005 walking around him.
"Why are you so interested in this? Does this have something to do with you?" Charles asked.
"Of course, it does. It has something to do with the bet between us. Remember what I said back in the Foundation's prison? I said that if you achieve victory against the Foundation, I'll grant you two wishes—two formidable wishes for a price."
005 stroked the black cat's head, and the cat opened Its mouth, spitting out two white balls the size of ping pong balls. The two white balls floated over to Charles and hovered in front of him.
"Two wishes. Say it, and I'll fulfill it if I can. For example, I can make you become even stronger than the previous Foundation, or... I can send you back to your original world."
Return to my original world? I can go back to those simple days? Charles unconsciously clenched his fist, but Sparkle's tiny hand in his palm made him relax.
Charles didn't answer outright. Instead, he carefully sized up the unique god before him, asking, "Why are you doing this?"
