Chapter 1433: Their beginning
Before Rain could learn the next skill of the space path, he finally learned something about the existence of the machine gods. Apparently, they all were able to transfer their consciousness to reality around the time they were fifty thousand years old... They built temporary bodies for them to try their experiments with more ease, but soon, they found that their forms were more troublesome than anything. It was much better to just create the tools that they needed and make them work that they were supposed to while the experiments were ongoing...
"They all obtained that power at the same time..." Rain rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Is that a coincidence? Can’t be... coincidences don’t exist in situations like that. This needs further investigation, but I have the feeling that the answers won’t come to me that easily. Even if I check all their knowledge as well..."
They didn’t find anything or anyone around them, they didn’t even try to check their surroundings... they only wanted to improve their abilities to do their experiments, so soon they returned to their old forms and stayed like that for a few more thousand years.
Around that time, the machine gods initiated a collaborative effort to enhance the speed and precision of their experiments. Lonos governs the flow and manipulation of time itself. He could orchestrate temporal phenomena and temporal experiments with unparalleled finesse.
Hilo experienced with the emptiness and vast expanses of space, maintaining balance within the void. Its realm involves the understanding and manipulation of empty space, allowing for experiments involving vacuum, negative space, and cosmic voids.
Ateros researched over the tangible elements and substances that compose the universe. Its expertise lies in the manipulation and transformation of matter, facilitating experiments related to particle physics, chemistry, and material sciences.
Iidos, the God of the Spiritual: Eidos oversees the ethereal and intangible aspects of existence, including consciousness, spirituality, and metaphysical phenomena. It delves into the realms of the mind, soul, and spiritual dimensions, enabling experiments concerning consciousness, perception, and metaphysical realms.
Fortus studied the possibility of influencing the likelihood of events and outcomes. Its domain encompasses randomness, chance, and uncertainty, allowing for experiments involving statistical analysis, quantum mechanics, and processes.
"Hmm, it seems that they are making progress at the same pace... even though they were doing research on fields that were different from each other," Rain thought. "How is that possible? I guess by that time, they didn’t try to outspeed each other and their personalities hadn’t developed that much either."
