Chapter 716 – 716. A Goddess Who Cannot Stand Alone
A strange companionship has begun.
Simba and King, who were looking for an escape angle as far away from the center of the city as possible, were suddenly caught by Jojun Jang and taken back to the city center.
Jang Jo-jun, who had teleported to the center of the city, was suddenly caught up in the obelisk’s gravity and was thrown to the outskirts of the city.
The three were now walking together toward the center of the city.
“…”
“. Damn.”
The expressions on Simba and King’s faces as they returned the same way they came were not very good.
The two were guiding Aim Jang along the streets they had run away from Kumari’s shadow.
“Wow. There’s black stuff everywhere. It will take a year to clean it.”
“Well, that’s right.”
One way was to lay waste to the city to bring out Kumari.
Jang Jo-jun wanted to resolve this incident peacefully.
Since I intended to use this place as is if I could keep it under my control, it was better to keep the infrastructure as is.
“Hey, over there!!! “The shadow!!!”
“That is Kumari’s shadow.”
Shadows creeping in.
The darkness, tainted by Kumari’s malice and corrupted, approached Jang Jojun, Simba, and King.
“Uh, what should I do!!!”
“I’m going to die. “I’m going to die…”
King in panic and Simba in despair.
Jang Jo-jun smiled as he looked at the two people.
“Your perspective has definitely changed.”
He laughed as he saw the approaching shadows.
If it were a few months ago, Jang Jojun would have escaped all the fuss and ran away for his life like Simba and King next to him.
However, things were a little different now.
Now that Jang Jo-jun has awakened to the senses of God, the approaching shadows are funny.
I was not afraid of the minions created by the angry goddess.
Jang Jojun had achieved enlightenment.
“Swallow.”
When I gave the command with my palms together, the snake’s head crawled up from under the feet of the approaching shadows.
Fuwaaaaah!!!
Kumari’s shadow being chewed and swallowed whole.
The goddess’s minions were destroyed with a single act of the Abyss Black Death.
“He’s not even a god, but he’s pretending to be a god and that’s damned.”
Beings who have merely inherited the power of the Kumari.
Simba and King, who were screaming next to Jang Jojun, looked at Jang Jojun again with wide eyes.
“I can’t believe it was like this…”
“Um, what are the stats over there.?”
“What are the stats? “The status window doesn’t even update.”
“Ah. That’s true too.”
“All I can say is that I am sorry as an executive.”
“It’s okay. “I will roll both when rebuilding the system.”
“Yes…”
“Yes.”
Those were the conditions.
Instead of taking them out alive, Simba and King become workers at the newly created company under Jang Jo-jun’s orders.
No matter how good Hell’s technology is, in the end, the people who originally did it will have deeper know-how.
Flexible hiring of talent was Jang Jo-jun’s biggest advantage.
“It looks like it’s going to get dangerous. You two are in here.”
“What the hell is this.!”
Jang Jojun opened the hole as he saw the approaching shadows.
The eager hole opened its mouth wide and waited for its victim.
Simba and King were more afraid of the endless hole that suddenly appeared in the ground than of the approaching shadow.
“Get in quickly!”
“Quaaaaah!!! Simba!!!”
“Keeeee!!!!”
The two were grabbed by the back of their necks by Jang Jo-jun’s hand and thrown away.
As soon as the two people were swallowed by the hole, Kumari’s shadows attacked Jojun Jang.
‘There is no need to use skills or powers.’
Jang Jo-jun just put his hands together and prayed.
“Aaaaah…”
“Huh…!!!!”
The shadows that were approaching him step back.
Pitch-black darkness hovered over Jang Jo-jun’s head.
Pure pitch black, not a halo or brightness.
The darkness expands, absorbing all the light, as if melting and erasing even the shadows.
“Indicron said that. They say that light only makes darkness stronger.”
Darkness becomes darkness.
There is nothing deeper than the abyss.
At the border of enlightenment, Jang Jojun absorbed the approaching minions of the goddess.
“Ah… Ah…”
“Ugh. Ugh…!!!”
The approaching shadows stepped back.
They also felt it instinctively.
If you get any closer, you will be sucked in.
“You’re quick to notice. Wasn’t there a lack of intelligence?”
[It seems like it was designed to make you feel fear.]
“Why? Why?”
[Because they are not the ones who were created in the first place. It seems to be nothing more than a product of the goddess’s fear and fear. I don’t think you need to try to find any meaning in their reactions. It’s just like excrement.]
“I see.”
Nodding his head at Paimon’s explanation, Jang Jojun walked one step forward.
The shadows had already lost the will to fight him.
An overwhelming gap that cannot even be overcome.
Feeling their fear and tension, Jang Jojun walked down the path opened by his minions.
Now, the shadows here are literally like reconnaissance drones.
If you go a little deeper, proper apostles will appear. Jang Jojun believed so.
But will a proper apostle emerge?
As soon as Kumari was born, she was locked in a small cage and used as a supercomputer for the management.
That’s why she couldn’t do most of the things she could do as a god, and even if she did, she was clumsy.
Now, the shadows here are like that.
Since there was no technology to properly create a slave race, they were produced in the form of shadows.
It wasn’t even made.
I just vented my anger, hatred, sadness and loneliness as is.
Therefore, each of the shadows was assimilated with the goddess.
Because they were so crudely made, the synchronization rate with God was rather high.
[I think he’s afraid. I feel trembling.]
“I see. Is the goddess trembling?”
[Yes. The master is afraid of his approach. She is so vulnerable to external stimuli.]
“You are a weak being. “You are like a child covered in divinity.”
We soon reached the center of the city.
Black tar-like things were spread everywhere, and pitch-black monsters glared at the approaching foreigners.
Kumari’s shadow spearheads approaching 6 meters.
They attacked Jang Jojun with awkward hand movements.
“I see. “They are just strong guys.”
Jang Jojun dodged the incoming attack without even looking at it.
There is no technology. The movements were awkward and unsystematic.
It was simply forcibly rolling its heavy body following orders to prevent invasion.
If you were a god, it would be normal for you to be able to understand the most efficient movements of the human body like breathing.
However, that was impossible for Kumari.
[Even cognitive ability is expected to be low.]
“What does Kumari know how to do?”
[Uh… Server operation?]
“Huh.”
[It’s probably because I’ve never actively done anything.]
“It is a strange being in many ways.”
Jang Jo-jun thought that he had never seen such an incompetent god before.
I couldn’t help it.
This is because Kumari lived simply by carrying out the orders given.
She has been raised to run the game from the moment she was born.
The self was not fully completed.
A half-poon who can’t do anything on his own unless others take care of him.
That’s why Goddess Kumari could do nothing but cry and be afraid to even as her staff were slaughtered and disappeared in an instant.
She couldn’t protect those who raised her.
They did not dare to resist the power of the prophet who crushed and crushed them.
She just cried and waited for this situation to end.
When no one came to visit him after the management was killed en masse, he felt abandoned and expressed his sadness in all directions.
Those are Kumari’s shadows.
The darkness created by her sadness.
“Disappear. “I am going to take care of your master.”
Jang Jojun cleared away the struggling shadow giants.
Soon there was nothing left around him.
[It looks like he has given up on defending himself.]
“You’re too quick to give up.”
[Because you have never fought to achieve something.]
In front of the stairs leading to the basement, he heard crying.
It was Kumari’s cry. Trapped alone in the depths, she was crying.
She didn’t even think about escaping on her own.
Even though she could have come out, she chose to hide Kumari.
A child who has turned his back on the world, locking himself in a cage made by others.
“It’s terrible.”
[It is full of poison. Damage is occurring to the body.]
“It’s kind of ticklish. “I don’t think there’s any problem?”
[Is that so? If it were me, I would have already melted on the first floor. You are really close to God.]
“I know. “It’s at a level where it’s hard to describe it as a living thing anymore.”
He chatted with Paimon and reached the lowest floor.
The floor where Kumari is located.
The lowest place in terms of management.
Bottom.
“They did a good job of trapping the goddess in a place like this.”
[That’s right. Even if it is a created god. This is a bit harsh.]
“Are you saying that everyone gained by sacrificing one? A sacrifice for the greater good. Hmm.”
Jojun Jang did not scold or curse the management team.
Because he is also forcing others to sacrifice for the greater good.
There is no difference between me and the management in terms of form or method.
However, there may be a difference in whether it is given a little freedom or whether it is controlled to the extent that it cannot become independent.
Because ‘Machina’, a god created in the abyss, exists right now.
Although Jang Jo-jun enslaved Machina, he did not oppress and oppress even his daily life.
As long as I did my job as a slave, I was free to do whatever I did the rest of the time.
As long as he did not rebel or rebel against orders, he was granted infinite freedom.
I guess this is the difference between the management and Jang Jo-jun.
[Excuse me. It’s in that room. It looks like a playroom. The venom is thick.]
“It’s okay because there are guardian gods.”
[Are you going to go in right away? Serious mental contamination is expected.]
“Wouldn’t talk with evil spirits be more mentally polluting?”
[Surely. I guess so.]
Jojun Jang opened the door to the room where Kumari was crying.
The young goddess’s complaints attacked Jang Jo-jun.
