Chapter 272: Depravita vs God (VI)
Vlad’s eyes were sharp as he gazed at Goddess Lucia—more precisely, at the new personality now in control of the body. This presence exuded a powerful will and coldness that did not waver before Vlad’s raging intensity.
With a chilling focus, Vlad demanded, "Who are you?" Meanwhile, he activated the A.I. Chip to scan the entity before him, seeking any data that might provide an advantage or clarify the situation.
The entity possessing Goddess Lucia’s body paused for a moment, his gaze piercing as he analyzed Vlad. Then, he spoke, his voice dripping with arrogance and carrying an ancient authority that seemed to have looked down upon the world for hundreds of thousands of years. "I am the God of Glory and Fame, and you should bow before me, mortal."

Gods did not use names when addressing mortals; they declared their titles, believing that ordinary people were unworthy of uttering their divine names. Moreover, stating their domain was crucial, as it was the very essence of their power.
The title "God of Glory and Fame" resonated with a dangerous authority, and Vlad knew he was no longer dealing with the cowardly impostor who had crumbled under his wrath just moments ago.
He was facing something far more formidable. Whether this person was a god or just some ancient entity disguising itself as one was impossible to say, but one thing was sure.
He was dangerous.
Vlad’s voice was cold, and a small smile appeared as he responded. "I don’t know if you’re truly a god or just another trickster, but I guess it doesn’t matter."
