Nasita sounded somewhat angry: "...The Church regards the 'God-Making Project' as the ultimate goal, but you only see it as an ordinary experiment...?"

"Crazy bastard... If the experiment succeeds, you will create another god. Then, how will you face those you serve?"

Would you still choose your current position? And what do you see yourself as then?

Omega replied calmly, "I'm a scholar, and these results should be left for me, who faces that possibility, to judge. But you're right, that's precisely why this experiment has left me somewhat disappointed."

Nasita: "As an individual, you don't seem to have much of a sense of belonging... Compared to the average scholar, you seem to have less faith."

"Oh no, of course I have faith, it just doesn't fit your usual definition." The omega waved his hand.

"Alright, let's stop here. The experiment is over, it's time to clean up the equipment and recycle the useful materials." The omega walked up to Narcida and politely asked for something: "For example... the Heart of God."

“…” Nasita did not respond to him.

Omega threatened Narcida with words and belittled the God of Wisdom's combat power: "Little Lucky Grass King, you are a wise god and should know the difference in combat power at this moment... You have no way to use that Thunder God's Heart in battle."

Nasita: "Didn't you say you came to negotiate with me? Why does it look like you're going to seize it by force now?"

Omega: "Hahaha... I'm just stating the facts."

"As a scholar, I naturally expect to be given sufficient respect and dignity by the god of wisdom."

"...Is this hypocrisy based on absolute self-confidence?" Nasita was disgusted by his words.

“I understand what you’re thinking, however…”

“…What if I destroy the Heart of God now and awaken the ‘Heavenly Principle’?” Nasita took out the Heart of Thunder.

The omega rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought: "Awaken... 'Heavenly Principle'?"

"..."

Do you think that's possible?

"The 'Heavenly Principle' has been dormant for so many years, but the Heart of God, as the symbol of the 'Heavenly Principle' controlling the continent of Teyvat and all 'Laws'..."

"Will its destruction attract the attention of 'divine justice'? And then... how will everything the fools have done end?" Narcida was gambling, gambling on this possibility: "You... dare to gamble with me on this 'possibility'?"

The omega scoffed, "Hmph. 'Gambling'? How surprising." He continued his sarcastic remarks, "I thought you'd produce evidence or offer rigorous reasoning... I never expected to hear the word 'gambling' from the mouth of the god of wisdom."

He then changed the subject: "However... what a clever move. Did you see through my attempt to capture your consciousness back then?"

"As a scholar, one must respect all possibilities. This has always been my principle, and an essential quality for any experimenter."

“Indeed, I cannot ignore this possibility. Tell me, what are your conditions?” The omega looked at Narcida.

"The heart of a god from a foreign land, even if left in Mount Sumeru, will only bring chaos..."

"But this Heart of Thor is a 'trophy' I obtained after defeating one of your executors."

Nasita demanded a price for taking the Heart of God: "Now that you want to take the spoils from my hands, shouldn't you, the instigator, pay some corresponding price?"

Few people bring up the price with an omega, and he just found it amusing: "Price? Interesting. What kind of price do you want me to pay?"

Nasita pondered for a moment: "...How about erasing what you said about other 'slices'?"

Omega was naturally happy to accept it; he had endured those slices who disagreed with him for a long time.

"Hahaha... You think you can limit me, an opponent who can threaten the 'Kingdom of Wisdom,' in this way? Your actions are tantamount to robbing me of my 'eyes' projected into the dimension of time."

"Slicing is extremely difficult, requiring very rare resources and a great deal of time and effort. To ask me to destroy it all here... your choice is very clever."

"How interesting. Should I assume that you were already on guard against me?"

"Of all the 'me's, this 'slice' you see is the most selfish. If it weren't for me... ha, your idea wouldn't work."

"What did you see while you were imprisoned? You were observing me... that's how you knew I was fed up with 'their' questioning, and that I was tired of all the endless arguments."

Nasita pointed out the flaw in the omega's previous statement: "You said that making peace with oneself... is inherently a difficult thing."

"Have you done that, you clever one?"

"..."

The omega seemed pleased: "I see. If you believe that so many 'me's' are worth the heart of a god... deal."

Shouldn't a normal person be frustrated? Nasita sensed something was wrong; he seemed quite happy to do so: "You don't seem to mind that much. Is the relationship between 'you' really that bad?"

The omega replied naturally, "I don't think it's something to worry about. An excess of self can be used to exchange for the Heart of God—do you think anyone can ask for a higher price for themselves?"

“Besides, with my abilities, I’ll find a better ‘perspective’ sooner or later. Rather… you’re just temporarily ahead.” The omega observed the deity before him with interest: “But I’d like to know, how can you be sure I’ve truly erased ‘them’?”

“I will see, your last vestige of honesty…” Narcida reached out and used her mind-reading ability to sense it.

omega: "...Hmph."

……

……

Omega and Narcida have entered Chen Xi's dream without realizing it, and Omega is still immersed in the joy of having only one fragment of his original self.

Taking advantage of their ignorance, Chen Xi stole the two Hearts of God from Nasita's body, but found nothing of value on the omega, only scalpels, medicines, and syringes. To prevent the omega from suddenly attacking and hurting people, Chen Xi confiscated everything.

……

……

……

Finding a secluded spot, Chen Xi woke up the omega who was tied to a chair by splashing a basin of ice water on his face.

After a moment of disorientation, the omega realized that he had been kidnapped, and the kidnapper was Chen Xi. However, he was not flustered at all, but rather very calm.
