If everything was as Astrid suspected, and the supreme Creator God indeed occupied the seat of honor at the divine banquet, then another question demanded deeper consideration.
Did this entity truly exist at this moment? Or, would It only manifest power commensurate with the inscriptions on the stone tablets when absolutely necessary, capable of manipulating reality across any plane?
Recalling her recent encounter with death, Astrid couldn't help but ponder, could that force which nearly erased her from waking again have been His doing?
Yet if He truly perceived her as an anomaly from a different era, according to the descriptions in ancient texts, He shouldn't have struggled to eliminate even a newly ascended early tier Arcanist mage. If He truly was the supreme master who created this world, even if she advanced beyond the Arcanist tier, she would still be regarded as nothing more than an ant or a blade of grass.
