God Simulator: The Goddesses In The Simulation Are All Real

Chapter 69: Linsley's Discussion With Evangeline

[You didn't hide it. There was no need to keep it a secret from Evangeline, who had just revealed her own. "Yes," you said, confirming her guess.]

["Then, you know who caused your death," she continued, her voice heavy with the weight of that memory.]

[You nodded again, leaning back against the bed. "I do. I also saw everything that happened after my death. I watched what you went through, what you did..." You paused, then added, "The timeline was reset because of my ability, and you retained your memories because of it too."]

[You hadn't lied, but you hadn't told the whole truth either.]

[It was true that your system was the reason behind the reset, and you considered it an extension of your abilities, though you didn't mention anything about the system itself.]

[To prove your point, you recounted everything Evangeline had experienced after your death. Every detail, every struggle, even the revelation of her true identity as the Goddess of Winter.]

[As you spoke, you could see the flicker of recognition in her eyes, the confirmation that you knew things only someone with true knowledge of her past could.]

[She sighed softly, relief and determination mixing in her expression.]

["If Kania has truly betrayed the world and humanity, then it'll be up to the two of us to stop him," Evangeline said gravely. "We'd have to face not only the Outer God but Kania as well."]

[You nodded in agreement. "After seeing the events of the past timeline following my death, I also have my suspicions about Kania. Even if he isn't involved, we'll confirm it after I reach Ascendence. If both the Outer God and Kania try to stop us, make sure you take the godhead from my body."]

[With a firm tone, you added, "If Kania really did ally with the Outer God, I'll kill him, even if it costs me my life. But if I fall, I need you to take my godhead before the Outer God can. I'll handle Kania, and I'll leave the Outer God to you."]

["If I die, I'll use my last strength to escape and ensure my body ends up near you so you can retrieve my godhead," you promised.]

[Although Evangeline trusted your ability to reset the timeline after death, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. Yet, she didn't try to dissuade you and instead offered her full support.]

[Evangeline vowed, "I swear, if you fall, I'll kill the Outer God. And after I regain my full power, I'll find a way to resurrect you."]

[While her resolve was strong, you had your doubts. You weren't sure if Evangeline's attempt to resurrect you would work—after all, this was still a simulation, and your death would likely reset the timeline. You didn't know if the simulation would restart if she succeeded in reviving you or if it would result in failure.]

[Still, you outwardly agreed with her, but you decided to warn her, "I'm not sure whether you'll be able to bring me back after I die. My death could reset the world, and that might conflict with the rules of my ability. Honestly, I don't fully understand the limits of my power."]

[You continued, feeding her a mixture of truth and misdirection, "I've never encountered a situation where I'd be resurrected after my ability activates. You can try, but don't be too hard on yourself if it doesn't work. Even if I die, I won't truly be dead as long as my ability is still in play."]
