The Hellfire Club operates on a membership system. Those qualified to join are either rich or noble. They are the absolute elite from around the globe.
Whether it was World War I, World War II, or civil wars within various nations, their presence was subtly felt.
They used war to accumulate wealth for themselves.
They used capital and power to control information unknown to countless people.
They were like kings in the shadow, silently corrupting the entire world.
Moreover, their membership system could even be hereditary, passing on this vast network of connections to their successors.
And within this organization, the most exalted members are undoubtedly the core members named after chess pieces as their code names.
Such as Bishops, Rooks, as well as the Black King, White King, Black Queen, and White Queen. They have the right to depose other ordinary members. And they can participate in internal core group voting to appoint or dismiss other core members.
A decade or so later, the Black King Shaw and White Queen Emma seized power through their Mutant abilities.
And they attempted to use the influence of the Hellfire Club to provoke the Soviet Union and the U.S. into starting World War 3, thereby destroying Earth and allowing Mutants to take control.
But currently, the Black Queen is undoubtedly one of the most powerful people within the club. Her words are the rule for ordinary membersm
"This handsome man, please come inside."
Supported by the maids, Selene slowly proceeded to the core private room.
Aaron, holding Raven, followed. Neither of them paid any attention to the other people present. After all, although they existed in the same world, they were already living in different worlds.
"There was a familiar dark power just now. Was that your doing?"
Selene dismissed the maids, looking at Aaron, who had sat down as if he were the Master of the place, her expression slightly annoyed.
Aaron nodded, seemingly ignoring her displeasure.
"The dog you keep likes to bark wildly. I made him quiet for a while."
Selene quickly understood. "If a dog is disobedient, then we replace it."
Raven, listening nearby, felt a bit scared and instinctively clutched Aaron's sleeve tightly.
The current her was not yet the future top Agent who killed without batting an eye.
Facing Selene's powerful aura, she trembled. However, Aaron possessed a special presence that could calm people's minds. Raven quickly recovered and dared not leave Aaron's side again.
Selene noticed this scene and curled her lips. "We are discussing adult matters. Are you sure you want to keep a little girl by your side?"
Hearing this, Raven gripped even tighter, afraid Aaron would ask her to leave.
Aaron patted her small head and said in a low voice, "It's alright. Stop talking about irrelevant things. Let's discuss business."
Selene looked quite relaxed and casual.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
"Given your perfect, art-like countenance, I can satisfy one small request of yours."
She half-reclined on the sofa, her legs resting on the coffee table.
Aaron asked, "Do you want to become a God?"
Selene, who had been careless, instantly became serious and solemn upon hearing this sentence.
"What are you saying? I didn't hear clearly?"
She looked Aaron up and down as if she had heard some hellish joke.
Suddenly, she chuckled softly. "Man, you have successfully caught my attention."
Selene didn't believe him, but she was surprised that Aaron could see through her intentions.
Yes, her lifelong wish had been to become a God. To this end, she had walked the vast human lands for tens of thousands of years.
She had witnessed humanity transition from primitive times to civilization. She had seen the history of the rise and fall of Ancient Rome. She had seen countless so-called heroic legends passed down by bards.
Yet, those supposed heroes were nothing but fools. In front of her, they made fools of themselves and were insignificant.
This made her increasingly look down on those mortals, viewing them as lower life forms from the bottom of her heart.
Therefore, she wanted to become a God, a true God with immortal life.
She wanted to raise her Divine Kingdom and break free from the constraints of this physical body.
This was her secret, one she had never told anyone else.
And Aaron...
Aaron's expression was normal. "What you seek, isn't that me?"
He no longer suppressed his divine nature.
The Super-Dimensional Body, Celestial Power, the power of Asgard, Primus, and the power of Unicron—various divine auras emanated from him.
Due to her abilities, Raven only felt that Aaron suddenly became taller and more imposing. But if asked to describe it, she was completely unable to articulate the feeling.
However, Selene gasped, and her strong, agile thighs sprang up like springs.
She sat up, looking at the profound, ethereal, magnificent, and terrifying aura emanating from Aaron,
She felt like a mouse hiding in the shadow, weak and helpless.
At the same time, she smelled the nearly perfect aura of Aaron's soul.
She had a premonition that if she "ate" Aaron, she would instantly become a god.
That soul was absolutely not something a mortal could possess.
That was...
"God..."
"You are a god?!"
Selene showed greed and desire, mixed with a hint of fear and alarm.
Her voice unconsciously softened, completely lacking the lofty arrogance she usually displayed.
"Selene Gallio, do you believe it now?" Aaron stood up and walked over to Selene.
He used his right index finger to lift her chin, making her raise her head to meet his gaze.
Selene felt an impulse to pounce on him, ruthlessly drain and absorb him.
She wanted to eat him.
This was the temptation of achieving godhood but she held back.
She wasn't sure if she could harm a god.
Although she believed she was only half a step away from achieving godhood, that half-step was enough to keep her wandering for tens of thousands of years more.
"Then, grea God, what do you need me to do?" Selene licked the corners of her lips, her entire body trembling slightly.
It was excitement, anticipation, the yearning of having seen the object of her deepest desires.
She had seen a God!
Raven listened with some confusion, but she at least understood one thing: Aaron was a God.
She actually ate the same bread as a God?
Raven's head was hazy, her mind already overloaded.
"What I need you to do is very simple."
Aaron glanced at Raven, paused, and said, "I need you to be a director, and concurrently... a teacher and principal?"
A director?
A teacher and principal?
Selene was stunned.
Aaron said, "I come from seventy years in the future. I am conducting a small experiment in this era and met some interesting people here. However, considering the accuracy of the experimental results, I temporarily cannot take them back, so I need someone to help me further refine the experiment."
"Do you understand?"
Selene was still somewhat confused. However, she extracted the key elements.
This God had travelled through time. He came to this era to conduct an unknown experiment.
Now, he needed a servant to help ensure the experiment could be completed successfully. And she, because of this, entered his sight.
Selene glanced at Raven, feeling she had grasped some crucial element.
"I think I understand?"
Selene was still puzzled. "Why did you choose me?"
"Because you have lived long enough, your methods are ruthless enough, and you are rich in experience."
