Metatron, who had been silent the whole time, said, "As a war angel, I feel really strange when I hear you guys talking about God like this. Only outsiders like you dare to talk about God's character like this and treat him as a human being."
Xiao Chen asked: “In your eyes, is the God of Nature a god, or a person with great power
"A god is a god. No matter how you compare him, his power is there. Just like what Umeda said, he can mobilize nearly half of the magic power in this world. What a terrifying thing it is. If a person can do this, we can't regard him as a human being. Under such power, things that were originally weaknesses are no longer weaknesses."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I thought you no longer looked up to the gods since the death of the God of War."
Metatron did not smile. "I have long stopped worshipping gods, but I will maintain a proper respect for the gods of nature. This will always make me aware of what kind of power I will face. Then I will be prepared to sacrifice at the critical moment."
Xiao Chen sighed and said, “I know that Mei Tiantian exaggerated the role of weaknesses and guessed the value of my spatial ability from the most optimistic perspective. But if not, how can we be given enough fighting spirit
We have no shortage of people who regard the God of Nature as an insurmountable peak, so, shouldn’t we also have value in treating him as a human being? "
Xiao Chen called Mei Tiantian's mother, selected some of the things he could say, and roughly explained to her what happened today. He did not hide the fact that the soul fragments of Mei Tiantian from another world merged with her, and thought that her mother would be very worried about Mei Tiantian's condition.
Unexpectedly, her mother said, "I already understand that Tiantian will not be an ordinary person in this life. In the short time I have been in this world, I have also understood that it is a luxury to be an ordinary person here in peace. Only by constantly improving one's strength can one have the greatest guarantee. She will definitely go very high and far in the future, and I can't hold her back.
The other Tiantian is also my daughter, and I believe she will help Tiantian to strive for a better destiny."
Xiao Chen was quite impressed and asked her to send Mei Tiantian back quickly. He also arranged for a staff member to help her take Mei Tiantian away, but the mother refused the help, picked up Mei Tiantian herself and walked out of the room.
"I still remember the moment her mother dug her out of the rubble and rushed her to the hospital. What impressed me most was her bloody hands, which were covered in wounds and bruises. That was the result of turning over so much stone and cement. With a mother like that, it's no wonder Mei Tiantian could become a demigod." Xiao Chen said, looking at her struggling back, "Actually, she didn't have to refuse help."
Metatron said: "Maybe she just knows that such opportunities are becoming less and less."

Xiao Chen and Mei then went to the prison to check on the interrogation of Jiang Yitian and Cole. The two had undergone several rounds of surprise interrogations, including the use of magic to probe their consciousness to confirm that they had no more accomplices in Hewan New City.
Guo Chengde, who was temporarily in charge of the interrogation on behalf of the intelligence officer, said: "That Cole was quite cooperative. We basically found out that they had no backup assassins and no further actions. But Jiang Yitian refused to explain what he did in this attack. He already knew about Chang Lin's death and put a lot of things on Chang Lin, putting himself in a position of being deceived."
Xiao Chen asked: "What about the magic detection? Have you checked his consciousness?"
Guo Chengde handed him a stack of interrogation records and said, "Jiang Yitian is a high-level mage after all. The mage responsible for invading his consciousness is as powerful as him. It is difficult to break through his mental defense and get any useful information. Most of the things we have found now are fragmentary and can't explain anything."
Xiao Chen quickly flipped through the records, then handed them back to Guo Chengde and said, "Let me go meet him."
Mei asked, "Are you going to explore his consciousness yourself?"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "This method has limited effect on high-level mages. I have another idea."
The two were taken to Jiang Yitian's cell by Guo Chengde. This was just an ordinary prison, so a magic seal was drawn on Jiang Yitian's neck. After a long time, the two people in and out of the cell swapped positions. Even Xiao Chen felt that it was a trick of fate.
The swelling on Jiang Yitian's face had not subsided yet. After his consciousness was checked, his expression seemed a little dazed, but he still seemed to have not given up hope. Although he had learned of Chang Lin's death during the interrogation, there were several other committee members who were allies with him besides Chang Lin. As long as they could intervene, he might have a chance to escape punishment.
"Are you here to act like a winner?" Jiang Yitian said bluntly when he saw Xiao Chen coming in, "I'm telling you, I won't say anything. You guys are really good at dealing with your own people now. You can use magic to probe thoughts at will, but what did you find out? Nothing! Nothing!"
Xiao Chen said with a smile: "One of your own? You must have forgotten. Half a day ago, you and Cole came to kill me together? Do you think I am really one of yours?"
"I'm just a guide. Chang Lin asked me to lead the way. I have no idea what they will do." After saying this, Jiang Yitian lowered his head, looking unwilling to cooperate.
Mei asked, "Really not using magic?"
Xiao Chen waved his hand, walked to the bars of the cell, squatted down and approached Jiang Yitian who was sitting on the ground, "I have three things to tell you. First, you may not know the people who died in the conference center. I will tell you a few names."
Next, Xiao Chen called out a few names, and Jiang Yitian suddenly raised his head, his face pale and frightening. These were all important allies of Chang Lin and Jiang Yitian. Every time Xiao Chen called out a name, his hope was reduced.
After Xiao Chen's name was announced, Jiang Yitian murmured, "Impossible, how could this happen?"
"You find it strange, don't you?" Xiao Chen smiled. "I have another thing to tell you. After Chang Lin died, I used soul-reading magic to find out where some of his files were stored. I haven't had time to look at them yet, but after I go there tomorrow, I'm sure I'll find a lot of things related to you, right?"
Jiang Yitian clenched his teeth and said nothing, but Xiao Chen could clearly see that his hands and feet were shaking.
"The last thing is that I am already a great magician. Just because they couldn't find something just now doesn't mean I can't find it. However, I have always been a bit rough in casting spells, and Chu Ying couldn't make it last time. Now I want to give you one last chance to reconsider whether you want to confess obediently." Xiao Chen raised one hand as if casting a spell, passed through the railing, and slowly approached Jiang Yitian's head.
Jiang Yitian gritted his teeth and watched the hand getting closer and closer, seeming to want to hold on. But just when Xiao Chen's hand was about to touch his forehead, he suddenly jumped up from the ground, rolled over and stepped back several steps.
Jiang Yitian said in a panic: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, don't do anything, I'll tell you everything."
Xiao Chen stood up, patted his clothes and said, "How can you talk like that? It's like I want to beat you up."
He took Mei and left the room, because looking at Jiang Yitian's expression, he knew that he had collapsed. (To be continued)
