When the Rulekeeper said "question", I expected the gods to just scan through my mind. From what I saw of them, it was entirely within their abilities—what could stop them? Certainly not care for some "mortal"!
It was a relief when the Blue Rulekeeper just asked.
"Do you confirm the God of Humanity's accusations against the Goddess of Bees? Answer honestly."
I could feel the Goddess of Bees' glare on my face.
'If they could sense lies outright, they'd know that the Goddess of Bees was lying! And if they can read my mind, they would find it right now—shit!'
I froze, but the gods seemed oblivious to my thoughts. They couldn't see the system, either, although—
I couldn't see it either.
'What?!'
It was one thing to not see any status panels when I looked at the gods—they were gods. But I couldn't see my own status either!
'System? System, are you here?!'
There was no reply.
