Chapter 1101: Chapter 466: The Successor

[Artificial Magic Net], Selene had certainly heard of it, and it left a very deep impression.

She still remembers a night long ago when Hecate excitedly told her that a mortal wizard was trying to decipher the essence of the Magic Net and even trying to create a new one.

At that time, the Moon Goddess undoubtedly found it odd, not only because of the absurdity of the mortal’s ambitions but also due to her friend’s reaction.

The former was easy to understand; after all, the Magic Net is such a great and vast masterpiece.

How could a mere mortal without divine essence attempt to deconstruct the Magic Net? It was simply a fantasy.

Furthermore, at that human’s level, he couldn’t even fully contact the twelfth layer of the Magic Net’s structure, let alone create a new one.

As for the latter, the authority of True Gods is the face and strength of the deities themselves.

Now, a mortal dares to spy on your divine authority, and instead of eliminating him, you appear jubilant.

Selene couldn’t comprehend it, so she didn’t plan to hide her doubts.

Facing the Moon Goddess’s question, Hecate’s answer back then was very intriguing.

“I remember you told me you are the Goddess of the Magic Net, the pioneer, builder, and ultimately, its master.

It will be perfected in your hands, taking root in every corner of reality… but that’s all.

You’re its beginning, but not its entirety. You’ve known this since the day it was born.

So you are not angry about the birth of the [Artificial Magic Net]… instead, you are mostly happy.

You hope that someone will study it, perfect it, master it, and ultimately be mastered by it.”

“So when the centaur who discovered the existence of the [Artificial Magic Net] came to you in a panic, asking for your opinion, you told him that you never saw research on the Magic Net as sacrilege.”

“On the contrary, it’s the wizards expressing their respect for the pioneers on the path of witchcraft, using their wisdom.”

On a nameless star body, beside a silver carriage.

Selene, struggling to play the role of ‘listener’, ‘thinker’, ‘problem solver’, was immediately reverted to her original state by the red-dressed girl within three seconds.

Fortunately, the Moon Goddess had grown accustomed to this. She just twisted her neck under Hecate’s sanction to see the other’s eyes.

“So what do these messages have to do with the [Artificial Magic Net]? Did its research fail?”

“Exactly.”

Nodding her head, swinging her little leg nonchalantly, Hecate agreed with Selene’s statement.

“Indeed, it failed, just like when I once taught young Chiron.”

“Hmm… maybe I’m not very good at playing the role of a guide.”

“It feels like every promising start hasn’t borne fruit in my hands.”

“Zeus might be good at this, but he’s no longer the golden-haired guy I first met. I don’t want to deal with him at all now.”

“Perhaps others are good at these things, but I don’t know them.”
