"You're right,"
Gazing at Marvin who was questioning him, Ailan in his orange-yellow suit slowly nodded, "I do indeed wish to become a true deity. This is because I want to escape the fate of being mere food. Only by achieving godhood can one break free from the control of fate."
"Does your doctrine support you becoming a true deity?"
"As of now... it does not," Ailan candidly admitted, "Our doctrine is missing core tenets. It merely calls on people to be honest. Such a doctrine is too insubstantial to be the opportunity for ascending to divinity. However..."
He paused for a moment, then added, "I am trying to remedy what is missing in our doctrine. Miss Gina from the Order Academy has inspired me. She said that beings like us, which are meant to be food, also have a way of achieving godhood, so I want to give it a try."
"Is the founder of the Honest Church still alive?"
