Listening to Milmina's statement, Gao Wen felt an indescribable strange feeling that suddenly surged into his heart, but after thinking about the other party's words, he had no typos. Then he could only continue to maintain his face without changing his expression, while focusing on the "experimental field" in front of him opened up in the shadow world.

"By the way, the experimental facilities you are building here look quite...that's exciting," Gao Wen commented casually, "I heard that you were making some things in the courtyard before, but I didn't expect you to build these so quickly..."

"This is a... 'dream' for many years," Milmina seemed to let out a self-deprecating hum. "It sounds strange? A god who was supposed to respond to the wishes of mortals, but he had a wish that he could not achieve for many years - a laboratory for exploring the truth and mysteries and satisfying his curiosity. This is something I have wanted to do but could not do for thousands of years."

"...The advancement of magic and mystery is essentially the exploration of the unknown and the mastery of natural laws. The magic goddess created by magicians may be the most curious and exploratory god in the world... However, on the other hand, the gods in the annoying mind should be omniscient and omnipotent. As the master of mystery, you cannot have something you don't know, and you cannot step into the unknown realm..." Gao Wen sighed softly, shook his head and sighed, "If you didn't get out of trouble in time, I'm afraid you are the easiest of all gods to be crazy and out of control."

Milmina seemed to smile. Although her face was covered by the "tulle tulle" like smoke and fog, the bright and gentle smile still came out from the corner of her eyes. She did not answer Gao Wen's sigh, but turned her head to look at the huge golden oak tree in the center of the courtyard and the white giant deer whispering to two flowers on her head under the oak tree. After a moment, she slowly spoke: "When I saw Amoen build this garden, I remembered my wish for many years. I felt that I should do something, instead of doing nothing every day, and really be a 'retired god'.

"But then again... I really didn't expect the Council to approve my construction application so happily. I thought this would be a very sensitive issue - after all, this is not a caretaker, and my laboratory is still dangerous."

"You and Amoen are not prisoners who are being held here, and of course the Council is not the jailer who cares about you - in my opinion, you are like us, all the struggling people in this world," Gao Wen shook his head with a smile, "and to be honest, you are the god of the past after all, and this is your wish for thousands of years. Even if the Council does not 'approve' your application, will you really give up?"

"Yes." Milmina said in a plain tone but without hesitation.

This answer finally made Gao Wen's eyes widen: "...Are you serious?"

"Seriously," said Milmina calmly, "I promised you to be a member of the Council as a mortal, and signed a contract with the Council under the name 'Milmina'. Although I am no longer bound by the laws of gods, I still do not intend to break the oath--in Amoen and I, at least one thing that should be done to completely leave the altar is not to do anything that is superior to the mortals."

Gao Wen couldn't help but look at the huge lady in front of him deeply, but he didn't say anything. He just withdrew his gaze after a few seconds and looked at the experimental platforms beside him shaped by Milmina himself - he saw the "sample" he was looking for.

It was a captured distortion, placed in the center of a large platform, surrounded by a rune array with an extremely complex structure, bound in a layer of translucent magic power field, and several translucent pillars that emitted glimmers, condensed from arcane light, floated at about two or three meters above the platform. An illusory chain extended at the top of the light column, and a second blockade was crisscrossed around the magic power field.

For a distorted monster at the level of a miscellaneous soldier, these blockades personally imposed by the magic goddess can be regarded as the top treatment, so that when Gao Wen saw those powerful ban spells, he blurted out his words in his mind: "Just just to imprison a miscellaneous soldier monster, you are like this... Is this distorted monster infringing on the rules of heaven?"

"What does the sky dot mean?" Milmina made Gao Wen's wonderful phrase pop up, but at least she had been here for a while. Now she has some habits of "the occasional slutty words from Emperor Gao Wen Cecil", so she quickly ignored this doubt and explained casually, "These blockades are not just to prevent the distorted one from escaping - in fact, even without any additional sealing means, this monster cannot escape my platform. The barriers and seals you see are mainly to maintain...environment."

"Sustain the environment?" Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and then he finally noticed the lilac "fog" floating faintly in the translucent magic field, as well as the dark thin structures of the runes on the surface of the experimental platform, which seemed to be solidified light. "Wait, this is... you simulated the environment in Gondor wasteland?!"

"It's not difficult. The 'pollution' of Gondor wasteland is essentially the result of the interaction between the out-of-control deep blue magic and elements that erode the material world. It's easy for me to create a similar 'pollution'. The real difficulty lies in how to make this polluted environment 'precise' and 'stable' enough," Milmina nodded, explaining in a rather relaxed tone, "The... distortion you caught on the front line is very unstable. After leaving the group, it has been constantly weakening and deteriorating. Until I put it into this simulated environment, its material structure has stabilized a little..."

Listening to Milmina's explanation beside her, Gao Wen thought while looking at the "samples" in the center of the seal - the terrifying creature that looked like a small giant compared to ordinary humans was hunching over, staying at the center of the force field with a limb on the ground. The dirty black and red "mud" flowed on its body, and the face without facial features was rising and shrinking in the magic environment. A low murmur kept coming from its body, but the murmur was obviously not related to spiritual intelligence. It sounded chaotic and disgusting, just the "noise" released by the chaotic creature in front of him.

But apart from making these "noises", the distorted bodies in the force field did nothing else. Even though Gao Wen and Amber had already come to the edge of the platform, the monster was just standing still.

"This looks different from the aberrant I dealt with last time," Amber couldn't help but recall his experience of dealing with aberrant. "The one I met last time was more irritable than this one, and he rushed up with a disagreement..."

"If Amoen and I were not here, it would be so irritable," Milmina's voice came. "It's interesting. This mutated creature has no wisdom, but it can still feel fear, and its perception of certain breaths is keen and precise - it is afraid of the power of Amoen and me. Of course, it would be different if it were the aberrants with controllers on the battlefield, but the... it acts entirely on instinct."

"Fear..." Gao Wen murmured softly, pressing his hand against the translucent magic barrier. "Perhaps for this creature, fear is not an emotion, but an instinct..."

A soft light approached from the side at this moment. Veronica, holding a platinum scepter, came to Gaowen. The ancient leader of the disobedient was quietly watching the monster and whispered: "I have been dealing with these things for so many years... In the depths of the wasteland, they are everywhere, but recently they have been summoned to other places..."

"...I remember that the generation of the aberrant can be traced back to the 'God Evil' project in the disobedience plan," Amber subconsciously glanced at the saint princess. "The disobedience extracted the original 'God blood' from Amoen, and then combined the 'God Evil factor' with human cells. You originally hoped to survive the demon tide by transforming humans into 'God Evil', but after the demon tide, the god Evil was out of control and mutated into a distorted body... Hiss, in a sense, these distorted bodies are actually 'Gondor people'. Do you feel weird when you look at it?"

Amber's words sounded a bit bad, but Veronica knew this half-elf. She knew that this guy would not have any malice, so she just shook her head: "...No, this is not a citizen of the empire, this is just a flesh and blood body that grew out of the corpses of the empire citizens. The "God Evil" plan that year failed, and we should accept this failure calmly... As for the current "distortions", I care more about their most fundamental weaknesses and what is the essence of existence."

"Yes, the essence of existence, I'm curious about this," Milmina nodded, "This creature will begin to decline and deteriorate after it leaves the environment, and even dissipate out of thin air. When they gather to a certain extent, it will cause the environment to be 'wastelandized', creating an energy environment similar to the wasteland of Gondor around it, and then grow out of thin air... In my opinion, this is completely beyond the properties that you mentioned that the 'god evil' may have, and even... it is not very similar to the 'organism' living in the material world. Don't you think so?"

Milmina's words made Gao Wen and Veronica instantly wake up from their feelings about the ancient disobedience plan and the "God-Sad" project, and instead focus on this "abnormal phenomenon" that is very important but no one can understand for hundreds of years.

The “degradation” and “intensification” of distortions, as well as their strange properties of “growing out of thin air”.

"...After the second development, human countries still had the hope of counterattacking the wasteland and regaining their hometown. At that time, our scholars did a lot of research on these monsters and had successfully captured and controlled this 'living sample' for a short time," Gao Wen recalled, "Our experimental conditions were limited, and scholars could only use very rough methods to test the characteristics of these monsters. Most of these tests had no results, but scholars still gradually formed a consensus that there seemed to be some kind of 'unity' or some kind of 'connection' between the distorted body and the Gondor wasteland...

"The aberrations are an extension of Gondor's wasteland, the cells of the magical pollution land. These monsters wander outside the magnificent walls, like the 'wasteland blood' flowing in a civilized country," Veronica said. "I know these studies and the corresponding conclusions. I have done some research in the Wasteland Center over the years, but the progress has stopped here... Perhaps our understanding of the world is still limited, or we may not find a suitable observation method, and we cannot explain how these monsters 'grown out of thin air'..."

Amber looked at Gao Wen, then looked at Veronica, lowered her head and thought for a moment, and interrupted, "If nothing else, they 'grown out of thin air' itself seems to have a problem. If these monsters could really grow infinitely in the wasteland environment, then wouldn't the wasteland of Gondor have been filled with distortions over the years? We would have been washed away long ago as the magnificent wall collapsed - but now it seems that they are not so 'endless'. The main force still needs to retreat temporarily when it is hurt, and a front line will still be cut and the troops will be tight..."

"Yes, this is the fact," Gao Wen nodded, and rarely agreed directly to Amber's view. "Although the aberrants have always been described as "infinite" by bards and playwrights, if they could have been able to proliferate in the wasteland environment, then the war would have been unable to stop the mortal kingdom until now. The real fact is that there are still large areas of open space in the wasteland, and although there are many distortions wandering in it, it is not to be infinite. It still takes time for those dark priests to summon the army.

"So the 'growth' of distortions either has an upper limit, or...that's not real 'proliferation', but something..."

Gao Wen stopped halfway through and carefully considered the more accurate words, but Veronica, who was standing beside him, said what he wanted to say: "Maybe it is some kind of 'teleportation', or it may be just a high-speed 'regeneration'."

"You mean, after the land outside the magnificent wall was polluted, the distortions that "appeared" out of thin air from the polluted atmosphere were actually "transmitted" from the depths of the wasteland?" Amber suddenly widened his eyes when he heard this, "They have space teleportation technology?"

"That's not called technology, maybe it's just a talent that belongs to the 'god evil'," Gao Wen corrected Amber's statement, "and 'transmission' is just an assumption. After all, we have never seen the process of distortions being transmitted from one place to another with our own eyes. Various detection and sensing devices on the battlefield have not detected large-scale energy transfers, and have traces of it."

Gao Wen and others discussed the possible principles behind the various strange characteristics of the distorted body. Milmina was just listening quietly and thinking at first. After a while, she suddenly said, "Do you want to hear my opinion?"

"Of course," Veronica nodded immediately, "the view from the 'Source of All Laws' - this is of course worth referring to."

"......I have been paying attention to the data about the wasteland of Gondor these days. I am coming to the frontline troops collect data near the wasteland. I have to get many samples of contaminated substances. Now there is a living distortion. Through their research, I began to doubt something..." Milmina said, her eyes falling on Gao Wen, "Do you still remember the 'unified wave conjecture' we discussed together?"

"Of course," Gao Wen nodded immediately, "but what does this have to do with the wasteland?"
