"No, no, no, let's not—it seems, Director, you still don't quite understand this power."
Goki quickly waved his hand—he was no Eldritch, nor would he be proud of the Moon God's power within him.
That old sly fox, the Pale Moon, relying on the Hunters' labor, successfully prevented the descent of other Great One offspring. Although objectively it did good, its essence was still that of a Great One desiring to reproduce.
Subjective and objective were inconsistent; it committed the crime of being a scoundrel.
The Moon God's power and authority might allow Goki to be compatible with the power of other gods, but this didn't mean It was a "good god"; at least in Yharnam, there was no true benevolence among the Great Ones.
Meanwhile, Kaltsit merely rolled her eyes at this Rebellious Disciple.
"If you can't sleep, then I can only suggest you take melatonin—Director, I am indeed researching the Great One existences of Terra, but I have never thought of utilizing their power. You are playing with fire."
Looking at the constantly soaring values on the instrument in her hand, Kaltsit observed the surrounding air and detected a slight distortion of light and shadow.
She had seen such a sight a few years ago in a certain county in Victoria.
That "Imperial Guard" from Ursus was using the power of the northern Xenomorph to shape his domain wherever he went.
"Do you think this is your own power? Director, physical constants are the anchor points of reality. Terra's gravitational constant will not change. Haven't you noticed that your 'power' has already begun to modify the real world?"
To this, the Director seemed somewhat unconcerned.

"Don't worry, Kaltsit, I've tested it according to the methods you taught me in the past, and all experimental parameters are normal. I also constantly monitor my mental stability, and I've even installed explosives near my brain. Once my mind goes out of control, the bomb will detonate—guaranteeing foolproof safety."
Tapping her head, the Director looked at Kaltsit with a hint of teasing.
"I'm not trying to steal your man, Teacher; I just want to study Goki. If you're really craving him, you can stay at Rhine Lab—thinking about it, Teacher, even though you're still so young, it's understandable if you've been alone for a long time and want to find a man…"
"Mon3tr—"
Before the Director finished speaking, a giant black claw was already hovering in front of her, making her swallow nervously—the black behemoth was roaring at her.
"Hey, Kaltsit, you're my Teacher, aren't you? Isn't this directly trying to kill me? If I still had my past combat power, you would definitely have killed me. I was just joking! How could you like a man? You must be an old virgin for ten thousand years!"
Despite her words, the Director's expression remained calm. She knew how powerful she was, which allowed her to brazenly provoke her mentor now.
Around her Rhine Lab uniform, starlike energy continued to spread, almost covering the entire research lab's white main color scheme, transforming it into a vast Universe and starry sky.
Kaltsit, however, narrowed her eyes, sweeping a sharp gaze towards the Director, her cat ears trembling rapidly back and forth.
Goki knew that she was angry.
"Because I hate people who spread rumors wantonly—and compared to rumor-mongers, researchers who overestimate themselves are even more terrifying. The former destroys individuals with words, while the latter buries the future of civilization with research."
To the Director's astonished expression, Kaltsit suddenly curled her lips slightly—the Teacher had never smiled at the Director before.
"If you truly strictly followed my teachings… then you must be wrong. Researchers need to admit and accept their own mistakes and ignorance—I am not omniscient, and neither are you."
Extending a slender finger from under her suit, Kaltsit pointed at Goki.
"If we're talking about understanding these Great Ones, I think—he knows more clearly than I do. Goki, tell this foolish student of mine what mistake she truly made, will you?"
The next second, the Director suddenly perceived a wild and scorching energy, no less powerful than her own, appearing behind her.
Turning around, she saw a fiercely burning humanoid torch.
"Goki, you—"
Clothes burned to ash, skin scorched and cracked, Goki smiled at Saria, who was almost kneeling beside him, looking at his appearance in surprise.
