I'm a villain, not a devil

"Welcome back."

"Father."

These two lines of words appeared with difficulty on the screen that was entangled with tree trunks and branches.

Sean paused in his tracks, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Why is there another person calling me daddy?

Only Mio Shisan had done this before, and the relationship between Sean and Mio Shisan was really hard to figure out. Neither she nor he could describe what their feelings were for each other.

But to be honest, it is true that Sean is the creator of Mio Shisan...it is reasonable to call him dad.

But this one, right?

That's not right...

Sean subconsciously felt that it was too ridiculous for the World Tree to call him father - this was an existence that countless people called mother.

Although he is indeed the creator of this game, games are very different from the real world. A setting of a few hundred words can be considered a detail in the game, but compared to reality, even one ten-thousandth of the detail cannot be achieved.

Therefore, the real world is filled with countless details, which is what Sean himself calls world completion.

The World Tree is a part of the World Completion. Neither Sean nor the colleagues in other studios have set up any content related to the World Tree. Therefore, the World Tree would never call someone dad like Mio Shisan did.

Unless there is a huge secret that I haven't discovered yet...

But was it really the World Tree that was shouting? Sean suddenly realized this.

The etheric consciousness of the World Tree parasitized the shelter, but it was parasitic, not devouring... Electronic systems do not have so-called consciousness, but their intelligent systems can also be expressed by data streams when placed on the etheric layer...

Is it the shelter's system? But just now the World Tree's consciousness in the outside world took the initiative to let me in...

There are always inexplicable contradictions in various speculations. Sean frowned unconsciously. He was unable to draw an accurate inference based on the situation before him.

In front of him, perhaps because Sean had been standing there thinking for too long, the screen began to flicker, and the branches entangled in it trembled as if blown by the wind.

"Welcome back!"

An exclamation mark was added after the word, as if urging Sean to come closer and take a look.

Sean looked around, thought for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"

However, with just this question, the strange tree-grown screen in front of him began to flash wildly, as if it would explode at any time.

Sean frowned, but did not stop asking: "Did you do anything to those people in the shelter in reality? Where did you get the information you needed to clone them?"

The tree trunks and branches that were entangled and parasitic on the screen trembled for a moment, then suddenly expanded and shrank. Sometimes they were lush and green, and sometimes they were dry and dying. The screen was also constantly broken, and things like glass fragments were scattered all over the ground.

But this is the etheric layer, and after just a moment it began to repair itself.

It seemed like it had finally calmed down.

Just as Sean was about to speak again, the screen and the tree branch shook together, a cloud of black smoke came out with a violent explosion, all the leaves withered and fell down, and the center of the screen turned pitch black.

The corner of Sean's eye twitched. What the hell... is this a bad question for me?

Then, a person covered in emerald green light walked out from the center of the screen.

He, no, it's her... that's not right either...

Sean frowned. The person who walked out of the screen looked like both a man and a woman, with delicate and soft features. The overall style had a boyish feel. His green hair was neither long nor short, half of it hanging down like a girl, and half tied up like a boy.

The clothes of various styles gathered together do not seem to conflict with each other. I don’t know whether it is because the clothes themselves are well designed or they have a harmonious temperament.

The other person gently opened his eyes, and in the center of his light green pupils was a mark that Sean was familiar with. His heart trembled violently.

A mixture of mechanical sounds, boyish sounds, and girlish sounds, but an extremely gentle voice sounded: "Father, the projection of the etheric layer will reflect the status in reality, and the effect of the Heart of Deception can also continue to be exerted in the etheric layer... This means that the price you need to pay is still effective in the etheric layer, please be careful."

Sean's heart skipped a beat. The other party was reminding me of the price of being deceitful... Is this the first person who directly called out the name of my ability?

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the other party immediately showed surprise.

"Father, the fluctuations in your etheric body are quickly calming down... You are truly worthy of being like me. Facing such a situation, you can actually regain your composure in an instant."

Sean said calmly, "Are you my son or my daughter?"

The other party let out a series of laughs, which sounded like the silver bells of a girl, but also had the boldness of a boy.

"Father, you should be asking me who I am now... You really haven't changed. When you encounter unexpected situations, you always like to interrupt the other party's established routine with inappropriate words, so as to regain the initiative in the conversation."

"Of course, I should also answer this question for you - I have no gender, because I was born at a level above humans. If I really have to be addressed... others would probably call me 'Him' like they call my mother."

As He spoke, He lightly hooked his fingers, and light green mist lingered in the air, forming the word "He".

The third person pronoun of God...

Sean curled his lips and said, "So, I slept with a god and gave birth to you?"

He shook his head helplessly: "Father, you are still so vulgar... The birth of gods and the mating and reproduction of humans are not the same concept... Forget it, I should get used to it."

Although He kept calling Sean "Father", he naturally looked down on him. Even though that was not directed at Sean specifically, it was still not pleasant.

Seeing Sean frowning, the other party bowed and then revealed a name: "Father, please allow me to introduce myself. You can call me Wen Na Ke - this is a transliteration. In the language you don't understand, Wen Na Ke means 'child of origin'."

Winner...

Sean looked the other man up and down, and Winnac raised his hand slightly so that he could see more clearly.

As Sean looked at him, He did not forget to say, "I know you have outstanding observation skills, but you don't have the ability to see through me yet."

Sean suddenly paused, then said firmly: "You are a boy. If I had a daughter, I would not let her wear such a short skirt."

Wen Na Ke was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "I have no gender... Father, you said this just to avoid the use of the personal name 'He' to refer to God when you think about me in your mind. This is in line with your personality. But, since you said so..."

Winnak's body shook, her skirt turned into shorts, and some of her feminine features completely disappeared.

"You can think of me as 'he' if you want." He turned into a delicate little boy.

Sean raised his eyebrows: "She has completely turned into Xiaonanniang."

Wen Na Ke seemed unwilling to continue on this topic. He said, "I thought you would ask about everything that happened and my mother——"

Sean interrupted directly, "Don't talk about this. I've slept with too many women. It's unrealistic for you to take out an illegitimate child for no reason and ask me to recognize it. If it doesn't work, I'll give you some child support - limited to Paradise City credit points."

Wen Na Ke said helplessly: "Father...you have noticed something, right?"

Sean just smiled and didn't reply.

Nonsense, he's not stupid.

Things have come to this point, how could Sean still imagine that there was something fishy going on here that he wasn't aware of?

It seems like it’s a good thing to have a child from God out of nowhere?

fart!

The tangled branches and the screen, the branches outside fighting with the black pigeons, and the current situation, Sean knew with his butt that the kid in front of him must be in trouble.

If I acknowledge this cheap child, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?

However, Sean doesn't want to cause trouble, and trouble will come to him.

Wen Na Ke shook his head: "Father, there is no point in running away. Now that I have appeared to meet you, the clock of fate has started to turn again. You must get involved, not to mention..."

He smiled slyly: "You have participated in the plan of His Majesty, and have long been targeted by the evil gods. Instead of denying me, why not listen to me tell you some big secrets that you like?"

This kid knows my psychology very well...

Sean narrowed his eyes and did not answer directly. Instead, he looked around and asked, "How long have you been trapped here?"

Wen Na Ke shook his head. "I don't know. My memory is not complete. Besides, I only recently regained consciousness in the etheric plane. I don't have much concept of real time."

Sean looked up at the other person and said, "The first thing you did after you revived was to come to me?"

Wen Na Ke did not deny it. He nodded and said, "Yes, Kan Fourteen... Oh, then he should be considered my brother, right?"

He showed a sunny smile and said, "Brother Fourteen is a good brother. I sent him some intermittent signals from the shelter, but he soon found me and activated this place. Please forgive me for using such a roundabout way. After all, I am only a consciousness active in the etheric layer. I can't do much in reality."

Sean looked at him and sneered, "It took a lot of effort to parasitize the shelter's system, didn't it?"

Wen Na Ke nodded calmly: "Yes, the etheric layer is boundless. If I want to drift here and meet you in the end, the probability is even smaller than what my mother once said. It is not worth trying at all."

Sean found a place to sit down, and then looked at the other person with an indescribable look, and then sneered: "Then how did you find the projection of the shelter on the etheric layer? An electronic system, projected on the etheric layer is just a bunch of data streams."

Wen Na Ke smiled and said, "Father, you are still so sharp - yes, I borrowed the power of someone else, that... emperor."

He pointed lightly outside, and the sound of branches chasing black pigeons continued.

Wen Na Ke followed Sean's example and sat on the operating table next to him. He said helplessly, "Father, you should have some guesses... Yes, my mother is the World Tree."

Sure enough... Sean narrowed his eyes.

It's unrealistic for the World Tree to call him daddy, and what Wen Na Ke showed was closer to being the child of the World Tree...

However, how is he related to the World Tree?

Wen Na Ke said softly: "Father, you are still hiding a huge secret, which is something I, as a child, am not qualified to peek into. But I hope you know one thing, this world, this Sean, is not the only one..."

He raised his head and looked into Sean's eyes: "Father, my recovery was accompanied by my mother's recovery, but I am very different from my mother, just like the gap between me and you - I can't explain it in detail, on the one hand, it is the loss of memory, on the other hand..."

He pointed to his mouth helplessly: "Whatever I remember, the world won't allow me to say."

The world won't let him say it...

A flash of doubt flashed through Sean's mind.

Somehow he remembered something else.

The book that was taken out from the secret room in Zhu Zhu's parents' house was like this. Xiao Ci was the only one who could understand it, but Xiao Ci said that if he wrote down those contents and showed them to them, terrible things would happen.

And on that leaf where one can clearly see the bloodline, Xiao Ci is the most dazzling royal bloodline...

Wen Na Ke continued, "Just as you guessed, before I regained consciousness, I was already entangled with the emperor."

He scratched his head: "It's not that I want to get entangled with him, but I can only get entangled with him."

"Do you think that the emperor and the evil god's body that represents the black dove are the same person? Or, in other words, they are the incarnations of the same evil god?"

Seeing that Sean did not deny it, Wen Na Ke shook his head and said, "There is a most important mistake in it. The incarnation of the evil god is not a black pigeon, but those black nematodes."

"Nematodes?" Sean frowned. He had always thought that it was a manifestation of the evil god's power, but if that was the evil god's true body...

There was some sadness in Wen Na Ke's voice: "Those nematodes are the evil gods who want to devour my mother... The sad thing is, it is one part of my mother..."

As one... Sean's pupils suddenly contracted.

Wen Na Ke saw this scene and nodded: "You are always so perceptive... Yes, this is the virus and immunity."

"To put it simply, those nematodes are parasites that hide viruses, and the presence of the virus naturally leads to the operation of the immune system... However, the virus is stronger than the mother's immune system, and eventually, the virus and the immune system become one."

He sighed and looked outside: "That pigeon is the mother's immune system, but it has been completely eroded..."
