"Karina, do you have a divine ring?" Ringer looked at the golden halo above Austin's head, then looked at the top of Karina's head, and asked slightly curiously.
"Yes, do you want to see it?"
"if you are willing to."
"Of course I do. As long as it's what you want to see, I'll show it to you no matter where you are." Karina said boldly, and then on top of her head, on top of her bright red hair, a crimson red figure slowly appeared. The halo was like substance, like a red-hot iron ring, causing the air above her head to twist slightly. Linger could even feel a hint of hot breath coming towards her face.
"Look, this is my divine ring. Do you want to touch it? If it's you, you can touch it any way you want." Karina winked at Ringer and leaned her plump upper body toward the bar.
Linge just looked at the fiery red divine ring above her head and did not reach out to touch it. He was worried that he would be burned.
"Your divine ring was also given to you by Mr. Austin?" he asked suddenly.
"Of course not." Karina glanced at the old man Austin on the other side and immediately clarified. Then he explained to Linge: "Even the gods who are both in the heaven are different and can be roughly divided into three categories. One category is the natural gods. They are the manifestation of the rules and the symbol of the world. This type of gods is the smallest in number and has the most power. The strongest, most of them have existed for a long time. There are also some gods whose divine positions are given, but of course they can be taken away at any time. This type of gods has the largest number and is replaced most frequently, and is called a personal god. That The fat old man next to you, as the spokesperson of the Supreme Rules, is qualified to confer the title of god." At this point, Karina glanced at Austin unhappily, seeming to feel uncomfortable with such a bad old man becoming the spokesperson of the Supreme Rules. Puzzling.
But the old man Austin, whom she despised, didn't care. He still sipped the glass of Godfather and reached under his white robe to scratch his armpits from time to time.
Karina retracted her contemptuous gaze and continued: "The last part of the gods are those who have been promoted through their own efforts, completed the road to becoming gods, gained recognition from the rules of the world, and ascended to heaven to become true gods. I belong to this category, So my divine ring was condensed on its own after being recognized by the rules of the world, and has nothing to do with that old man." At this time, Austin on the other side suddenly joined the topic: "Actually, little Karina has not yet completed her journey to becoming a god. I went to look for her when I was young. Unexpectedly, when little Karina saw the divine ring I took out, she not only rejected me on the spot, but also punched me hard." Austin covered his left cheek, As if recalling what happened at that time, a nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"That punch is really fresh in my memory. At that moment, I was sure that little Karina would definitely become a powerful true god. At that time, little Karina was still a shy little girl. It was over in the blink of an eye. It's been so long." A shy little girl... Ringer looked at Karina in front of him and couldn't imagine what she looked like when she was shy.
"How many years ago was that?" he asked. Austin was about to answer when he suddenly heard Karina's threatening words: "Old man, if you talk nonsense again, be careful I'll kick your ass." She didn't want Ringer to treat her as a child after knowing her true age. The old woman looked at it.
Austin quickly slapped his forehead, smiled and said, "Haha, I'm old and have a bad memory. I forgot, I forgot." When she turned back to look at Ringer, Karina showed a charming smile again and winked. Eyes said: "If you want to know the past me, you can invite me to your home. I will spend the whole night and tell you slowly." Lanya, who was standing not far behind her, quickly shook her head at Lin Ge. .
Ringer smiled secretly in his heart, turned around and asked Austin: "Old sir, do you want another drink?"
"Of course, thank you, young man." Austin chuckled and handed over the empty wine glass. Karina, who was ignored, had a resentful expression, like a neglected little daughter-in-law. But when Ringer poured two glasses of wine and placed one in front of her, she smiled again and stared lovingly. Ringer looked as if he was so moved that he wanted to pledge himself to her.
Unfortunately, Linger, as usual, did not respond to her warm eyes. She had no choice but to raise her glass and drink. After a few sips of wine, she seemed to recall the past. A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and she said with emotion: "If I knew what it meant to become a god at that time, I would definitely not To make decisions so easily, it’s actually not bad to be a demigod, at least I can beat whoever I want.”
"Aren't demigods a match for gods?" Lin Ge pointed out the unreasonableness in her words.
"What if it's a god you want to beat up?"
"Idiot, the power of God cannot be used at will, especially against mortals." Karina rolled her eyes at Ringer charmingly.
"Although demigods have power close to that of gods, they are still mortals after all. Gods cannot use their divine power on mortals without justifiable reasons. When gods disappear and walk in the world, even if they are provoked by mortals, they can only use the power they had before becoming gods. Power, this is a rule. For example, when I was a demigod, I could punch this old bastard in the face without any scruples, but after becoming a god, attacking him would be punished by the rules. So, having unlimited access to gods The most unrestrained existence in the world is the demigod who has the power but is essentially a mortal. Although he does not have a long life, he does not have to be bound by too many rules and can live a free and glorious life." Karina stared at her hands. wine glass, he said enviously.
"Is it possible to become a demigod and then wait until the end of his life to become a god?" Lin Ge asked curiously.
"The position of true god is not that cheap. You can take it whenever you want." Karina took a sip of her wine.
"When the time comes, once you choose to give up, it will be difficult to get a second chance. It is almost impossible. Of course, it is possible if this old man bestows a godhood. But after all, the godhood given is not as good as A godly position that I have achieved through my bravery and diligence."
"At that time, I was pursuing stronger power. After I became a god, I had stronger power as I wished, but the constraints imposed on me were also stronger. By the time I discovered this, it was already too late." Karina drank wine and said dullly.
It was rare to see her showing such a serious look. Lin Ge couldn't help but feel sympathy in his heart and asked: "Can't gods retire?"
"Retirement?" Karina sneered,
"Haha, there is no such thing as retirement for gods, they will only fall or die. If you voluntarily give up your position as a god, you will die the moment you lose your position. In the final analysis, we gods are just tools of the world, or we must always perform our duties as tools. Responsibility, or losing everything, this is the price the world's will pays for our long life and strong strength." At this point, Karina couldn't help but have a self-deprecating smile on her lips.
