I, the Holy Maiden of Light, tear apart the Outer Gods.

Ange blinked. "But how did you end up here?"

The system blinked cutely, "Guess?"

Anjie: "...Let me tell you, you now have a physical form, so I can hit you."

The system blushed. "Ahem, this all starts with the system's origins. Hmm, where do you think the system came from?"

Anjie was taken aback when she heard the question.

Because Anjie had never really thought about this issue.

Where did the system come from?

Isn't it because I'm the main character that I got this cheat code? Does a cheat code even need an origin?

The system seemed to see through Anjie's thoughts at a glance. After gently shaking its head, it slowly said, "The birth of a system is a very complex matter, but you can simply understand it as a kind of self-protection mechanism of this world. By creating a system to drive the host, it allows the host to obtain powerful strength, thereby balancing another powerful force in the world and achieving balance in the world."

Without the system explicitly stating it, Ange understood that the "other powerful force" the other party mentioned could only be Azathoth.

Aurora said that Azathoth, like the beings on other continents, is a kind of being and is not classified as a god. Therefore, such a powerful being directly affects the balance mechanism of the world.

The world created the system and chose itself in order to maintain balance.

Therefore, he was created from the very beginning to be an opponent of Azathoth.

Fortunately, Ange is not a "darkened high school student" from those chuunibyou anime on Earth, nor is she a hot-blooded youth in wish-fulfillment novels who wants to defy fate. After understanding her destiny, Ange naturally chose to accept it.

Having compensated Anjie for so long, the system knows Anjie's personality, so it can speak without reservation.

The system pointed to the surrounding scenery and slowly said, "This is the foundation of the world, and these towers are the embodiment of the laws. Therefore, even if I hadn't stopped you just now, you wouldn't have been able to leave a trace on these towers."

Anjie blinked, bewildered. She didn't really understand the concepts the system was talking about, but that didn't hinder her ultimate goal. "So, how do I become a god?"

The system anticipated Anjie's question and quickly responded, "So-called gods are not essentially an aggregation of faith and willpower, but rather a manifestation of a certain law. For example, the Goddess of Light is a manifestation of the law of 'light,' while the Goddess of Death is a manifestation of the law of 'death.'"

"So, I also need to find a rule that suits you?"

"That's right, but not entirely. To be more precise, it's the laws that choose you. As the foundation of the world's operation, even if you are the host chosen by the system, your status is absolutely not as high as the laws. Only if multiple laws choose you can you choose a law as the foundation for your godhood."

However, I must remind you that if you become a god, the power of faith will become your source of strength and the way to sustain your life. Therefore, if you want to become a god, you must choose the law most suitable for collecting the power of faith; otherwise, you will become the second Goddess of Death.

Remembering how Eileen, a goddess, had to stoop so low as to abduct innocent girls to become her saintess in order to spread her doctrine, Ange knew very well that even if she had the thickest skin, she would never do such a thing!

After taking a deep breath, Anjie looked at the system with a determined gaze. "So, what should I do?"

The system clapped its hands with a smile, the crisp sound echoing in the pristine white world.

Ange noticed that there were several tall towers around her. After the system clapped its hands, they all began to emit various kinds of light. Then, a special rune shot out from the top of these towers and flew to Ange's front. In the blink of an eye, dozens of different runes appeared in front of Ange.

Amidst these colorful lights, Anjie was bathed in a dazzling array of hues.

Moreover, Anjie could sense that the characters surrounding her seemed to have their own consciousness, jumping around her very lively and radiating affection towards her.

Without a doubt, these are runes that symbolize the laws.

Ange had a feeling that if she touched any of the runes, she would instantly gain the approval of that law and become the god corresponding to that law.

Ange, who was surrounded by these runes, was a little confused.

The system on the other end stared blankly at Anjie, clearly the scene before her had exceeded her expectations.

Logically speaking, the laws should look down on humans.

According to the system's original plan, Anjie would have been considered to have achieved a perfect result if she had gained the approval of even one law, but unexpectedly, she gained the favor of so many laws at once.

Is this reasonable?

This is unreasonable!

Aren't these people usually aloof and unapproachable? Why are they now fawning over Anjie like lapdogs, acting like complete sycophants?

Anjie was a little confused about what was going on, and could only blink her big eyes helplessly at the system.

The system paused for a moment, then said, "Wait a minute, let me ask what's going on."

"Um...can I ask?"

"Yes. I am, after all, a tool created by the world to maintain balance, and I can still communicate with the laws in a simple way."

After saying that, the system roughly grabbed a law rune that was flying up and down and pressed it against its chest.

While the system and the laws were communicating, Anjie quietly approached.

Throughout the entire process, her gaze remained fixed on the system.

"This guy's body was created based on my memories, so it should be exactly the same as mine... I've never massaged myself from someone else's perspective before, hmm, let's give it a try!"

Without hesitation, Anjie raised her two hands and placed them on the system.

He muttered seriously, "As expected of my body, apart from being a little small, it's top-of-the-line in every other aspect!!"

As she spoke, Anjie felt a pang of sadness.

Even more coincidentally, as soon as Ange turned around, she saw that there was another law rune surrounding her. After sensing it slightly, she was surprised to find that the rune was actually the law defined as "balance".

Upon realizing this, Anjie's expression turned even more unpleasant.

Even the laws of nature are starting to mock me?

If I choose this law, what kind of god will I become in the end?

The God of Flat Chests?

Then he established a church called the Flat-Chested Cult, and only people with flat chests could join...

The doctrine is: Down with all big-breasted women! The world belongs to flat-chested women!

Wow—it feels ridiculous, but it's also strangely reasonable!

Anjie quickly stopped herself from thinking about those strange things.

He didn't want to humiliate himself.

"Have you rubbed enough?"

"..."

Anjie looked up and met the system's gloomy smile, then subconsciously pinched it.

"That's enough, but did you do it on purpose, making my breasts so small? I didn't get enough of kneading them just now."

"..."

The veins on the system's forehead bulged instantly, and its fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

After silently reciting the system guidelines and "On How to Forgive a Foolish Host" hundreds of times, the system finally calmed down.

However, she didn't give Anjie a friendly look either, saying, "Don't you have any self-awareness about your own figure?"

Anjie: "......"

Thank you, I feel hurt!

Seeing Ange fall into a state of self-isolation, the system's mood finally improved. "I just inquired about these laws. They approached you only because you are the Holy Maiden of Light and possess a high level of faith power. It is this faith power that attracted these unclaimed laws. You can rest assured and choose whatever you like."

Upon hearing this, Anjie turned her gaze back to those laws and fell into deep thought.

Among these laws are some powerful ones, and some even involve the most fundamental principles. If you choose these laws, collecting faith power will definitely not be a problem.

but......

Anjie silently withdrew her gaze, then looked at the system beside her, and asked quietly under the system's puzzled gaze, "You just said that any law surrounding me is fine, right?"

The system nodded.

Then the system saw Anjie raise her hand and point at herself.

System: Shocked.jpg

Ange said in a serious tone, "You said it before, right? You are a creation of the world's balance law, so I should be able to consider you as a rune of the balance law. Then can I choose you? To make you my law, to make you the foundation for me to become a god."

After a long pause, the system finally came to its senses.

However, the system's expression was quite strange.

At first, he was somewhat surprised when he heard that Ange wanted to choose him.

Because the "Law of Balance" is one of the most fundamental laws even for this world, theoretically, the question is no longer whether a law of this level can become the foundation of gods, but rather that this world would not release the Law of Balance.

That's what the system originally intended.

But to her surprise, the world tacitly accepted Ange's choice.

In other words, if Ange were willing, she could indeed use the law of balance as the foundation for becoming a god.

Although I don't understand why the world is doing this, since they have already agreed, I have no reason to refuse.

However, before that, the system needs to confirm that this is Anjie's voluntary behavior, and not a request made to disgust herself.

Having spent so much time with Anjie, the system knew all too well what kind of evil soul lay beneath Anjie's innocent exterior!

Using the phrase "white on the outside, black on the inside" to describe Anjie is an understatement...

Are you sure you want to choose me?

"of course."

"In that case..." The system smiled brightly and placed its hand in Anjie's palm, "Then please take care of me."

As soon as she finished speaking, a milky white light burst forth from the point where the two were holding hands. Before Anjie could even react to what was happening, everything suddenly went black, and she fainted.

When Ange opened her eyes again, what came into view was not the world foundation with all sorts of towers standing there, nor the desolate and dangerous cold plains, but a scene that Ange had never seen before.

The dilapidated buildings, the cracked earth, the ground covered in black ash, and the raging elemental power permeated every corner of this space, enough to tear apart any living being that stepped into this space.

Although the scene before us looks like the world has been destroyed, it is still easy to see how magnificent and spectacular this world was originally.

Moreover, after briefly sensing her surroundings, Anjie was surprised to find that the space here was filled with a familiar power—divine power!

This is the kingdom of the gods.

"How come you can talk to me like this again?"

While Anjie was in a daze, the system's voice suddenly echoed in her ears.

Because you have incorporated the law of balance, as a creation of that law, I can naturally communicate with you in this way.

By the way, you are already a god, which is why you appeared in the divine realm.
