God Simulator: The Goddesses In The Simulation Are All Real

Chapter 4: Avatar Crystal

[You decided to follow them, moving silently and keeping to the shadows. Your Martial Arts Master (Blue) made it easy to stay undetected.]

[Inside the building, you found a hidden entrance leading to a basement. The air was thick with the smell of chemicals, and you soon discovered why.]

[The basement was a hub of illegal activity. A group of gangsters was busy smuggling and selling drugs. Crates of substances were being packed and moved under the watchful eyes of heavily armed thugs.]

[You stepped forward, drawing the attention of the nearest goon. "Hey, who the hell are you?" he barked, reaching for his weapon.]

[With your enhanced reflexes, you disarmed him before he could react, delivering a swift punch that knocked him out cold.]

[The commotion drew more gangsters. Using your Martial Arts Master (Blue), you skillfully dodged their attacks and countered with precise, powerful strikes. Each move was fluid and efficient, taking down one goon after another.]

[The gangsters soon realized they were outmatched, and their fear became evident. However, just as you thought you had the situation under control, the gang leader appeared.]

[He was a thin man, looking malnourished and addicted to drugs. However, there was something about him that seemed to possess power beyond that of a human. Despite his frail appearance, his eyes bore into you with a cold, calculating intensity.]

[You felt a shiver of unease. This man was not like the others. Your instincts as a martial artist told you he was a true threat, someone not to be underestimated.]

[Despite your victory over his goons, you knew the real battle had yet to begin.]

Reading the text simulation and feeling it firsthand, Linsley, who was staying in his room, couldn't help but mutter, "Is the gang leader perhaps one of the people on the supernatural side of the Avatar World?"

"Aside from them, my Martial Arts Master (Blue) talent is invincible against average humans, and my instincts wouldn't let me fear a normal human."

Since the feelings and experiences of the simulated body were synchronized with him, Linsley also felt the fear of the simulated body when the cold eyes of the gang leader stared at him.

"Well, I shouldn't worry too much. At worst, I'll die in the simulation and wait for another simulation opportunity tomorrow."

"Dying might be painful, but I'll need to get used to it to strengthen my willpower."

Linsley had heard of magical girls turning "dark" after being ravaged by eldritch tentacles and their minds being corrupted by the lackeys of those Outer Gods.

The lackeys of the Outer God also carried a hint of mental pollution within their presence, and if the willpower was weak, even magical girls would be affected by it and get corrupted by insanity.

As for mecha drivers, their mecha armor seemed to be built using the sixth sense to navigate their surroundings. They would rely on geographical calculations and spatial positioning to determine the location of their enemy.

Since they wouldn't look at the lackeys of the Outer God, the effect of the mental pollution would be lesser, albeit not fully immune to it.

In other words, willpower was crucial when facing the lackeys of the Outer God. That's why Linsley wanted to train his willpower.

Even though the god simulator system mentioned that he was immune to the mental pollution of the Outer God, honing his willpower wasn't a bad idea. It would also improve his state of mind in the god simulation.

Linsley knew about this because the lackeys of the Outer God had publicized information about the magical girls and mecha drivers.

It was even mentioned that anyone who could provide information about the true identities of a magical girl or mecha driver, or even manage to subdue them, would be rewarded by the Outer God himself.

Linsley had learned almost all the information he could find online about magical girls and mecha drivers because, at one point, he was tempted to catch one of them and become a lackey of the Outer God.

After all, being a slave of the Outer God meant he was under both the lackeys and the Outer God himself. But if he became a lackey, he would only be under the Outer God and could even play with the lives of the slaves.

Of course, Linsley hadn't done that yet because he was a transmigrator and didn't want to tarnish the noble identity of a transmigrator. He would only do that as a last resort.

But now that he had the God Simulator, he didn't have to get his hands dirty or betray humanity.

[When the gang leader gazed at you with indifferent eyes, he looked at the fallen goons who were previously beaten up by you.]

[The gang leader soon turned his gaze back to you and said, "You are powerful, but only by human standards. If you want to obtain greater power, submit to me, and I will turn a blind eye to you beating up my subordinates."]

[Hearing the gang leader's offer, you didn't hesitate and immediately knelt before him, saying, "It is my honor to become your subordinate!"]

[You knew you were no match for the gang leader and would undoubtedly lose if the two of you fought. You wanted to obtain the power of the supernatural side of this world, so you didn't hesitate to become the gang leader's subordinate.]

[Your plan was to gain great power from him and then decide whether to kill him or keep him alive based on his usefulness. Even if you couldn't kill him, your ultimate goal was to awaken supernatural powers, so it didn't matter if you were his subordinate in this god simulation.]

[After all, in the next simulation, you and the gang leader would be strangers. By then, you could return here and kill him. Unlike them, who only had one life, you had infinite lives due to the timeline reset.]

[When the gang leader saw you kneel before him, he was pleased and immediately took out a golden crystal shard from his pocket. "This is the avatar crystal. You can awaken your avatar and become an avatar master if your soul manages to evolve. But if you fail, you will die."]
