"Well, I'm here just to see Vivien. So, I won't believe anything you say until I see her." Steve shook his head, then said firmly, "I want to see Vivien right now!"

Edward frowned and called out, "Miss Vivien..."

"We can a.s.sure you that Vivien is safe. If you want to see her, you have to answer a few questions first." Nickerson sat in a chair with his hands crossed.

Steve took a deep breath, then sat down next to him and said, "You can ask, but I'm not sure if I'll answer all your questions."

Steve finally understood why Vivien had disappeared for such a long time, but the military base camp did not disqualify her as a soldier or trace her disappearance. It turned out that all this was Nickerson's doing behind the scenes!

"How much do you know about Vivien's power?" Nickerson asked.

"What power?" Steve pretended to be unaware.

"Mr. Steve, you don't have to pretend anymore. If you are not aware of her power, you would not have had such a big reaction in the ring just now." Edward laughed.

Steve, somewhat helplessly, said, "Well, I know Vivien has a mysterious power, but I don't know what it is or where it comes from. Vivien only told me that this magical power seems to be attached to her. So, I'm also curious what kind of power it is."

Steve looked at them with a doubtful face. In fact, Steve knew exactly what Vivien's power was. It was the power of the rulers of the past!

But, Steve would not tell them what he knew until he was sure how much they actually knew. After all, divulging more than they knew would risk leaking the secret!

Edward and Nickerson glanced at each other, as they were both doubtful about Steve's answer. Nevertheless, Nickerson answered, "Since you are the one Vivien trusts, we will tell you about it. Vivien's strength is the power of G.o.d!"

Nickerson looked more serious than ever, and with a trace of awe, he said, "What I'm going to tell you next is an important secret that has been hidden in the world. I hope you don't leak it after you hear it."

He then added, "Also, this concerns Vivien's safety..."

Steve nodded and said, "Of course!"

"In this world, there is a special group of people, who are chosen by G.o.d. They are born with the power of G.o.d and are naturally blessed by G.o.d," Nickerson said.

"True G.o.d? Is it the legendary Ares?" Steve questioned him.

Nickerson shook his head. "Ares is just a realm name. The real G.o.d is real! They used to be rulers of the universe. They are inherently very powerful and control the rules of the universe. But, for some reason, they are now gone."

Steve soon realized that the true G.o.d that was being referred to by Nickerson was probably really the rulers of the past. However, because of the development of the years, the legend of the rulers of the past began to change when it was spread in modern times.

"What does this have to do with Vivien?" Steve asked.

"Because Vivien is chosen by G.o.d, she is destined to inherit the power of G.o.d and become a new generation of G.o.d. As such, her future is even stronger than the Ares!" Nickerson looked at Steve with wide eyes.

Judging from his eyes, Steve could see that Nickerson was telling him that, although he had great potential, his was still far from Vivien's, who was destined to surpa.s.s even the Ares in the future!
