"Lord Bishop, look! I told you this ritual could summon a god!"
"Sylens... are you sure this little girl with light blue hair is a god?"
"Lord Bishop! Please do not disrespect the god! You saw with your own eyes that she appeared out of thin air from the summoning magic circle!"
"But shouldn't summoning a god come with a grand scene! There are no special effects at all. It feels like the summoning effect isn't even as good as some cheap virtual games!"
'Hiss... why is it so noisy...'
Right after pulling a golden light, she felt as if she was sitting on top of something, accompanied by a drowsy feeling.
She inexplicably didn't dislike this feeling, but why did someone keep talking non-stop right next to her!
"Lord Bishop, this is reality. How can games be the same as reality! We are setting a precedent here!"
"This... that seems to be true, but just based on this appearance, she doesn't look like a god, does she? Besides, she looks so... short."
"Lord Bishop, do not be disrespectful..."
"Silence!"
For some unknown reason, upon hearing the word "short," she felt a burst of nameless anger rise within her. In that instant, she felt much more awake. After opening her eyes, the word "silence" blurted out, directly interrupting their subsequent conversation.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw that she seemed to be inside a place similar to a church. Before her eyes, there were many people dressed in black robes kneeling on the ground, shivering. And in front of this group of people, there were two individuals.
One person was dressed in magnificent bishop's attire, currently looking at her with a somewhat sluggish gaze. The other person was no different from the group of people behind them, similarly wearing a black robe. However, unlike the one wearing the bishop's attire next to him, this person was looking at her with a slightly fanatical gaze.
Seeing that both of them had temporarily quieted down, she began to check the system notifications.
[The host has successfully pulled the third gold pull, unlocking the character: Cerydra.]
[Cleared the burning pain brought by the law.]
[Because the host is not in Amphoreus, one of the major abilities of the law, which can modify the underlying logic of Amphoreus through sacrifice, is unavailable. Therefore, this system has modified some of Cerydra's abilities. Please experience them yourself.]
(In human terms: the special abilities Cerydra demonstrates in the story are simply too few, so if Cerydra's ability set isn't original, it's hard to write. I can only say I'll try my best to conform to the "law" and include more chess elements.)
[Please continue to earn more Stellar Jades and unlock more characters!]
'Cerydra? Hiss, isn't this a character from 3.5? I transmigrated during 3.4, how would I know about 3.5 characters.'
After seeing this notification, Cerydra only felt a bit of a headache.
But before her headache could last long, the system's notification rang out once more.
[Detected that the host has not yet watched the 3.5 storyline. Beginning to instill the complete storyline.]
After it finished speaking, Cerydra felt a surge of memories pop into her head out of thin air.
This memory was of herself sitting in front of a computer going through the 3.5 storyline, even using the account from her previous life.
Except that the image of herself sitting in front of the computer seemed to be Cerydra.
'So it also comes with watching the new storyline... then if I pull characters from other versions later, like 3.7, will I watch it cross-version, or catch up with the previous version's storyline together?'
'Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now, and first feel what abilities are in this body.'
Thinking of this, Cerydra closed her eyes again. Her slender fingers gently pressed against her temples as she began to concentrate fully on looking inward, feeling the power of the "law" in her body that had been modified by the system.
But at this moment, in the eyes of the others, this blue-haired girl wearing a flaming crown on her head, after shouting a single sentence of silence, closed her eyes again and rested her cheek on her hand, seeming to fall into a deep slumber once more.
Inside the main hall, silence spread through the air. The believers were still kneeling, not daring to breathe too loudly.
The two people in front looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
At this time, a semi-transparent spiritual thread that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye quietly extended from the space between the Bishop's eyebrows, then connected to the person named Sylens, and then the thread disappeared.
Immediately after, the Bishop began to ask Sylens in his mind:
[Sylens! Why did this god go quiet after shouting silence? What is she trying to do?]
And Sylens, after hearing this question, first showed a confused expression, and then he responded:
[My lord, you are the Bishop of this church, the person closest to god! If even you don't know what to do, how would I know?]
[But isn't this the god you summoned! How would I know if this god of yours is the god I worship!]
The Bishop was a bit anxious. He originally thought this summoning ritual was fake, but he only agreed to let Sylens try it in order to maintain his persona!
And in the end, you're telling me you really summoned a god?
[The main thing is... I didn't know what god this summoning ritual would summon either...]
[You!] The Bishop's eyes widened instantly, looking at him with some disbelief. [Weren't you afraid of summoning an evil god! I only agreed earlier because you said this summoning ritual was absolutely safe and there was no harm in trying.]
[No, the main thing is that those Evil Cultists were killed by mercenaries back then. If they had really summoned an evil god at that time, they wouldn't have been killed by bullets, right?]
Sylens argued strongly.
[Then is it possible that it's precisely because those Evil Cultists summoned an evil god, they were infected by bad luck, and that's why the mercenaries broke in and killed them!]
[Impossible!] Sylens's face flushed red, but because they were communicating telepathically right now, this appearance with his mouth closed looked rather weird. [It's just because their strength was too weak and their scale was too small that they were killed by mercenaries like dogs on the side of the road. For an Evil Cult of our scale, how could it be possible...]
But before Sylens could finish speaking, suddenly, a black-robed person ran in from outside the door in a panic, shouting anxiously:
"This is bad! Lord Bishop, a bunch of combat B rank type armored warriors from Arasaka Heavy Industries suddenly arrived at the church entrance. It looks like they're here to wipe us out!"
"Ah?!"
"What?!"
After hearing this news, the two people first looked at each other, and then simultaneously turned their heads to look at this light blue-haired girl who had appeared here out of thin air through the summoning ritual, along with a seat resembling a throne. For a moment, the two of them didn't know what to say.
