Why did his personality become so capricious, gloomy, and evil after becoming a god?
This wasn't due to the influence of dark divine power.
It was because he had understood the essence of his own character and no longer restrained himself.
He disregarded others' opinions and unscrupulously spread his evil to the world.
When Zane became a god, although the foundation of his power through faith was unprecedentedly strong, it still lacked one essential factor.
That factor was the tempering of time; Zane's heart had not been polished by the passage of time.
In other words, Zane's heart was cluttered with too much garbage.
Excessive distractions, fear of the unknown, confusion about the future—these were all mental clutter that oppressed his mind.
There is only one way to clear out this garbage.
That is to stand by the river of time and watch the changes of the world, observe the cycle of life and death, witness the gatherings and partings…
Over time, through observation, understanding naturally comes.
The reason why those lofty gods are indifferent to all living beings is precisely because of this.
Seeing something once might leave you astonished.
But what if you see it a hundred times? A thousand times?
You would likely become indifferent, no longer emotionally affected.
Before fusing with the Mind Stone, Zane lacked this kind of pure heart.
The downside might not be apparent now.
But as Zane's strength continued to increase, this shortcoming would become a fatal weakness.
If a person's strength is compared to a barrel filled with water,
The height of the water is not determined by the tallest plank but by the shortest one!
Now, this hidden shortcoming of Zane's has finally been addressed.
Feeling his renewed self, Zane suddenly let out a self-mocking laugh.
Just moments ago, he considered the Mind Stone to be a useless, dispensable item.
Now, this very stone, which he thought was useless, had filled his last shortcoming.
Damn, this realization really stings!
But one has to admit: it's truly amazing!

Zane hadn't opened the character panel for a long time.
After becoming a god, he could feel all his skills directly, without needing to open the system panel to sense their changes.
Opening the panel now was more of a habit Zane had developed over time.
After all, as the old saying goes, "Stay true to your original aspiration to reach your ultimate goal."
Although Zane has always been trying to understand the true nature of the system, it doesn't hinder the deep gratitude he feels for it.
One can be shameless and have no bottom line, but one must know how to be grateful.
The fact that he has risen so quickly in this dangerous world is undoubtedly thanks to the system.
Fundamentally, considering the power the system has displayed, it could probably obliterate Zane with a mere sneeze, leaving no chance for revival.
So, from the very beginning, Zane never guarded against the system. Why worry unnecessarily and exhaust himself?
Moreover, the system has never shown him the slightest bit of malice.
Compared to other systems that might erase you at the drop of a hat or cut a brother down by ten centimeters, Zane's divine-level skill lottery system is a blessing.
The data on the system panel has changed significantly compared to a few years ago. Firstly, his race has changed from demigod to deity.
Additionally, the S-Class [Magic Furnace] upgraded to SS-Class after embedding the Mind Stone, becoming Zane's second SS-Class skill.
Zane then opened the skill description for [Magic Furnace].
SS-Class Passive Skill [Magic Furnace]
- Embedded: Space Stone, Power Stone, Mind Stone. Remaining slots: 6.
- Additional attributes:
1. Infinite Energy (Can replace all skill costs, and the energy from the three Infinity Stones continuously strengthens the host)
2. Greatly enhances all spatial skills
3. Greatly enhances all offensive skills
4. The host's power is entirely under the host's control
5. Clarity of mind, keeping the host's mind clear and free from external influences at all times
6. Mind Control, allowing the host to alter the minds of those weaker than themselves at will.
For those of equal strength, it can only influence their mind, with the degree of influence decreasing as the difference in strength narrows.]
After embedding the Mind Stone, [Magic Furnace] gained two new attributes.
Zane had already experienced the benefits of the fifth attribute.
But the sixth attribute was a pleasant surprise for him.
Zane wasn't particularly concerned with altering the minds of weaker beings.
After all, if they're weaker than him, why bother altering their minds when he could just eliminate them?
What excited Zane was the ability to influence the minds of those stronger than himself.
Although he hadn't tested its practical effects yet,
Even if it only caused the opponent to hesitate for a split second, it could make a huge difference.
At Zane's level, every moment can determine life or death.
That momentary hesitation from the opponent would be enough for Zane to attack thousands of times.
Combined with the SS-Class skill [Mystic Eyes of Death Perception], the opponent's life would essentially be over.
This combo was indeed underhanded.
But Zane liked it.
Moreover, Zane was now even more eager for the remaining three Infinity Stones.
From the Mind Stone, it was evident that each stone had its unique benefits.
He was curious about the enhancements the Reality Stone, Time Stone, and the most mysterious Soul Stone would bring.
The Reality Stone was still hidden in the folds of space-time within the Nine Realms.
Currently, no one knows exactly where it is; it will only appear when the Nine Realms align.
As for the Time Stone, it was in the hands of the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme.
Although Zane's current strength could easily defeat her.
