Steampunk Era: Mad Abield

"Where is Mr. Meng’s ship convoy now?" A cool, clear female voice rang out in the darkness.

"About half a night’s journey from New Bangkok." A male voice responded, his deep tone breaking the darkness as a screen lit up. On the map displayed, the light representing the convoy inched northward, slow but resolute.

"Mr. Meng has sent word—Malin, the one who saved New Bangkok ten years ago, is on their convoy. According to intelligence agents from Westland, ten years ago, this child didn’t even make it into the public eye." The clear female voice fell silent here, as another screen lit up.

A new voice, young and mischievous, began laughing: "His paternal lineage cannot be confirmed, and his physical traits don’t match any listed artificial lifeforms. We can’t rule out that he was customized in a private laboratory. However, how his lineage managed to survive to this day remains an unsolved mystery. Typically, after the Great Destruction, it would be impossible for a family to quietly preserve an inheritance for eight millennia."

"Yes, I asked the intelligence agents who returned. They all said they’ve never heard of a family matching this child’s appearance. The surname Gaiate belongs to his adoptive father. That family is easy to trace—the current sole member of the Gaiate family inherited the Truth Sequence. His adoptive father, Malin, in an unexpected twist, helped him advance Sequence Zero within the Truth Sequence. Now, he’s a Legendary figure. Our investigation into him has even attracted curious attention. However, Sydney’s security department dismissed it as mere Thanan curiosity, considering the identities of our agents." The male voice spoke again, explaining the current situation.

"Westlanders always like to act separately; they don’t understand the meaning of true Union," the child’s voice chimed in. "But can you really confirm Malin is the ancient god who came to Bangkok back then?"

"It’s possible. After all, his likeness was seen by the surviving soldiers in Bangkok and the Sages back then," the cool female voice responded. "Although I don’t quite believe it myself, the Sages could not have been deceived by Chaos. According to current agents and Mr. Meng’s confirmation, the strength of this child is rising to an uncontrollable height. Can you imagine? Mr. Meng sent a letter saying this gentleman is increasingly resembling a deity walking across worlds. If not for the severe injury facing the Sages, forcing them into recovery, I’d suggest inviting someone to take a closer look at Malin."

"He really did appear godlike in Bangkok back then. That’s why even I agreed to the divine creation plan, because I want to know: is he truly a deity, or just some entity manipulating collective memory?" The child’s voice paused, then gave a noise of frustration: "Mr. Bei Luo has arrived; why isn’t he saying anything?"
