The enraged roar of the God of Knowledge made the entire pure white space tremble. Countless books turned into pages and fluttered about like a chaotic snowstorm. His face, which was a blank sheet of paper devoid of facial features, "turned" toward Daniel, the voice filled with the fury of being outwitted.

"You made the right choice by coming to find me," the God of Knowledge said, his tone suddenly calming, as if the earlier fury had never occurred.

"I know why you've come and the deal you've made with the other 'me.' In fact, that guy has probably already planned everything."

"If you want to know more, come closer to me."

Daniel stood still, neither approaching nor retreating, simply watching the entity before him.

"I won't approach you. You should understand why I'm here," Daniel replied.

"I understand," the God of Knowledge said, his voice devoid of any emotion. "You've seen the power of the other 'God of Knowledge,' so naturally, you remain cautious. But they are not like me. In fact, the moment you appeared before me, both of us had already entered the game."

"However… we may both be God of Knowledge, but I don't think there's such a huge difference between us. You probably don't know this, but even I, as a God of Knowledge, have my own flaws."

"We cannot know the future. Or to be more precise, we cannot know the future that is guaranteed to happen. You, who understand fate, should know the relationship between causality, inevitability, and randomness."

"I don't want to share too much about this knowledge with you. But you need to know that we, God of Knowledge, can only make predictions about the future, not see it."

After hearing these words, Daniel silently absorbed them. Though unsure of the truth, his intuition told him that this statement was incredibly important.

He remained silent, waiting for more.

The God of Knowledge seemed to take no notice of Daniel's attitude and continued speaking as if to himself.

"For example, they know how strong you are, they know you possess [Infinity Possibility], but they absolutely do not know what kind of ritual task you need to complete to ascend to godhood."

"They cannot foresee this because it pertains to a future that has not yet happened. Knowledge does not equal omniscience."

"And I, too, cannot see it. But based on your actions, I've already deduced some things."

Daniel's heart shifted slightly, but he still maintained his silence. The God of Knowledge's words made sense, but how could he be sure it wasn't just another carefully crafted lie? After all, he had witnessed the cunning of the God of Knowledge countless times.

Seeing Daniel's lack of response, the God of Knowledge seemed to realize something. After a brief pause, he spoke again.

"It seems words alone won't make you trust me."

"Then, let's make a pact."

He raised his hand, and a strand of pure white light appeared at his fingertip. Then, he looked at Daniel. Despite his face being a blank sheet of paper, Daniel could sense a faint smile within that emptiness.

"[Infinite Mind Pact], this is your specialty, isn't it?"

"This pact, born of the roots of mind and soul, once signed, neither party can break it. Even a god cannot bear the consequences of breaking the agreement."

"As long as you and I sign the pact, I will tell you everything, including how to deal with the other 'me's and how to truly help Aurelia."

"I trust you don't doubt your own strength?"

Daniel nodded slightly. Of course, he trusted his God Rank Skill. After all, he now wielded god-level divine authority, so he was absolutely certain that his God Rank Skill couldn't be tampered with by anyone, not even the God of Knowledge before him.

With that thought, Daniel voluntarily signed the [Infinite Mind Pact] with the God of Knowledge.

Seeing that both parties had come to an agreement, the God of Knowledge's face revealed a faint "smile." He then continued.

"You can call me Tom, that's the name I've chosen for myself. It represents eternal time and eternal knowledge. What do you think?"

"I admit, I've made many mistakes over the long years. But you coming to find me today is undoubtedly one of the best decisions you've ever made."

"The other 'me's, like that Knowledge Daniel, they've probably already anticipated your plan. They're smart, they know you'll seek external help."

Tom's voice became low, still filled with absolute reason, but Daniel could feel a deep, suppressed madness beneath it.

"They've predicted that you would come to me, and they may have even set a trap for me. It's a game of strategies and counter-strategies. Both sides are like a thousand-layered cake, unaware of which layer the other is on."

"Speaking of this, the idea of plotting against oneself is strangely exhilarating, don't you think?"

"I need to think, to seriously consider this. Winning this game won't be easy."

The God of Knowledge fell into a brief contemplation, and the entire pure white space fell silent, only the sound of books turning could be heard. At the same time, he spoke to himself as if in a trance.

"They know that I know they know, so they will use this to set a reverse trap."

"The core of this game is neither me nor you."

Tom's voice sounded again, but this time, it held a note of certainty.

"It's inner godDaniel."

"The true goal of Knowledge Daniel is actually embedded in inner godDaniel."

"They seem to be trying to win you over, threatening you, but in reality, everything they do is to ensure that inner godDaniel can smoothly become their pawn—or their 'nutrient,' so to speak."

"What they want to devour isn't just the 'me' from different world lines; their ultimate goal is to fuse the characteristics of inner god into the perfect 'me'."

Tom's words acted like a key, unlocking many of the mysteries in Daniel's mind.

"So, you need to create an 'unknown.'"

"A space that even I cannot fully see, and that the other 'God of Knowledge' cannot predict. Only within this unknown will you have a chance to break their scheme and win the final victory."

"According to my deductions, even if we join forces, there is no hundred percent guarantee of success."

"So… I'm sure you understand what I mean now? The unknown is the fairest, and the only way to defeat them. As for you… are you willing to cooperate with me?"
