Chapter 128 – 14. People I Met in the Holy Empire
“…”
Han Si-woo was embarrassed.
I raised my head and looked around.
A small sanctuary built of questionable pink marble.
He was in it
This place, which is said to be the most important place in the Holy Empire, was said to be located in the center of the capital, just like its nickname. This place, which I did not expect to come in, looks somewhat ordinary, but if you look closely, it was a very delicate and beautiful architectural style.
However, there was something more clearly felt by Siwoo.
‘Immense divine power…’
This sanctuary feels divine power enough to believe that the holy ground has been compressed.
It was natural.
Because this is a sanctuary where you can interview the main god.
With a somewhat bewildered look, Siu recalled the reason why he had come here.
The first was a meeting with the Pope.
The pinnacle of the Holy Empire, the female pope whom we met briefly at the New Year’s party.
Perhaps thanks to the divine power, the age of 70 was colorless and correct. Of course, unlike beauties in their 30s and 40s, the pope has the impression of being old even if he pretends to be. It’s just that he’s correct for his age, but he’s not out of the mask at all.
The pope welcomed him with a bright smile.
And said to Siu.
The proof of the holy sword will be taken over by other agencies or departments in the future, and the most important thing is separate. After that, he had a light conversation and was guided to this place by her lady-in-waiting.
At first, the vigilance around the sanctuary was thorough enough to make you think it was a prison. A 500m radius of land was left empty and an iron fence surrounded it. There were even a number of guards here, so it was about to come out with admiration.
That’s how I came to the inside alone.
“I came to a place like this, and I really grew up a lot.”
It’s hard to believe that it’s been achieved in less than a year.
Siu sat down on the floor while looking inside the sanctuary. Unfortunately, the only place to sit on was the floor. There was not even an altar, so it was doubtful whether the meeting with the main god would really take place here.
‘Isn’t Josin sleeping in the first place? To regain strength. I heard there was a war… ?’
“…?”
Siwoo suddenly felt his vision darken and the world tilted.
Then he made a 90 degree turn and felt a warm feeling on his left arm.
I realized in that moment. The darkening of his vision is because his eyelids are heavy and his eyes are closed, and it is not that the world has tilted, but that he has fallen on his side. The cause was simple. It was a sudden drowsiness phenomenon that reminded me of narcolepsy.
And when he opened his eyes again, Siwoo could see a girl in front of him.
“…Given?”
“Oh. It’s nice to be smart. It’ll be easy to talk to.”
“Uh, huh?”
What he said without realizing it was true. Siu’s eyes widened.
I couldn’t believe that the long pink haired girl was really the main god. A beautiful girl who looks a little younger and smaller than Elaine. She didn’t feel sacred or anything like that, but she was full of friendly feelings.
‘Are you really the main god?’
“Yeah. That’s right.”
“Ugh.”
“Are you surprised that I can read your mind? Huhu, sorry.
“…”
In fact, there was nothing more suspicious.
Drowsiness suddenly came from the sanctuary where you could meet the main god.
And if it’s the pink-haired woman she sees when she opens her eyes, surely she’s a main god.
When she said that she was really going to meet Jusin, there were a few questions that popped into her head in an instant.
“Yeah. It’s nice to be able to quickly grasp the situation. I’ll answer any questions you have one by one.”
“…Great.”
When Siu nodded her head, her main god smiled in satisfaction.
“First of all, I’m not my main body right now. I’m an alter ego created by removing a very small portion of my power before going to sleep. That’s why I’m really weak. I’m probably going to lose even if I fight with you right now? Because the alter ego’s role is not to fight, but to maintain and relay consciousness.”
“Indeed…”
“In the first place, the hero summoning system is equipped because I am an alter ego. Our goddesses do most of it, but I did the foundation and system configuration. Had I been completely asleep, summoning the hero would not have been possible.”
One simple question was answered.
No matter how much the main god handed over some of his power and authority to the goddesses who followed him, they were the goddesses who were kidnapped and robbed in another dimension. However, I wondered how many people were brought safely from the dimension, albeit only part of it.
Perhaps this was the same shape as the first playthrough.
“That’s right.”
“…Yes?”
“It’s the same as the first round.”
“…!!”
“Ahaha. Are you surprised?”
Ju-sin appeared out of nowhere, sat on a chair, and burst into laughter.
Ju-sin understood that it was the 1st playthrough. Her response gave Siwoo one certainty. While reading novels and books at the warrior training camp, there is a hypothesis. That her own regression was merely brought about accidentally by the cause of the regression.
And her most powerful source of return was the main god.
“Keuuu, you’re smart.
“…Then really…?”
“Ahaha. Yes. It’s me. I’m the real regressor, I’m the cause of the regress.”
“…”
Mouth shut.
It was a shocking comment because Jushin spoke so lightly and refreshingly.
The return of the goddess was a really unheard of story.
“I turned the world around with the power I gathered hard before it collapsed. Thanks to that, it was hard work. That’s why there was less interference compared to the first round. Instead, I tried to disperse my power and get better results.”
“Then my return…”
“Probably a small mistake made along the way. As soon as I found it, I fixed the error and it won’t happen again. There will be no more regressors.”
“Okay…”
I felt strange when I heard Jushin’s story.
It was a coincidence after all. Something like self-return. I didn’t think that there would be something special or that I was chosen by the world. Even so, I felt comfortable knowing it was a coincidence.
There are no duties or responsibilities placed on you. You just have to enjoy the world to the fullest and be careful not to have a final war. After that, it was real freedom. At that time, maybe I could do anything.
“Um. But it’s not just a coincidence. Were there some conditions?”
“…?”
“The world has changed quite a bit from what you knew. Do you know why?”
“That…”
The corner of Jushin’s mouth, which had been laughing single-single, went down. The finished expression was very cold. It was a face that recalled resentment and revenge. Because she was a beautiful girl, she was still beautiful, but on the other hand, it gave me goosebumps.
“Do you know about the original history and mythology?”
“Roughly…”
“Yeah, that’s right. I had a lot of trouble there. At that time, it wasn’t me who kidnapped you, but they invaded and then got trapped, right? By jumping over the world. Thanks to you, even though I created this world, it was really really hard.”
“…”
“I was really angry after coming back like that. So I committed it. The goddess. And the male god. Still, the crack in the dimension wasn’t intentional. It was a mistake.”
“That’s right.”
“Sweep. You don’t believe me. Anyway, that’s what I’m talking about. Ah. Why are you talking about this? I was bored too. I wanted to tell you about it, but I didn’t have anyone. I had to refrain from contact with the goddesses who follow me as much as possible. Then get caught by the drunkards.”
As I listened to the one-sided words of the main god, a bitter smile was built on my own.
It’s an angry and unfair story, but it was quite fun to hear the other side of Shinhwa as a listener. It’s absurd, but I even thought that it could be much better than the stiff mythology and history.
“Then did you let history flow as similarly as possible to the first round?”
“Yes, that’s right. The regression I turned the world around is incomplete. I can’t get involved in important events, and some futures are fixed and will definitely happen. In that case, I thought it would be better to make them flow similarly so that I can prepare.”
“Then…”
“I’m sorry, but no. I haven’t stopped you yet. I think what I can do is more limited than I thought. That’s why I chose you.”
“…As a saint?”
“Yes. As a saint. I can’t offer much support, but if it’s you, aren’t you the best to work in this world?”
“…”
“Did I mention it earlier? It’s not just a coincidence. An enormous amount of yang and sexual function from birth broke through the wall of regression. Luck overlapped, but your talent also had a significant effect. So, I believe that it’s possible with you.”
At first, Josin, who laughed happily and then made a cold expressionless face, now has a serious expression. Even her Siu, who was looking at her, tightened her back and shoulders. Suddenly the task became heavy again.
“You want to prevent destruction anyway, don’t you?
“Alliance with the main god… No one will believe it.”
“Whoops. Is there a need for that? If it’s a saint who appears after hundreds of years, it’s game over.”
The main god raised the corner of his mouth with a smirk.
Smile like the first time again.
There are only a few things I’ve seen, but I think Siwoo is the most beautiful when he’s smiling. Though she knew that the goddess was reading her thoughts, it was a thought that came naturally to her. Even after reading it, the main god just laughed without mentioning it.
“Ah, that’s good. I’m at ease. Thanks to you, I think I’ll be able to focus on my recovery for a few more years.”
“If…”
“Yes. I’m going to let the clone body rest for a few years. I’ll leave it entirely to you. Whatever you do, just prevent the end of the world. Okay? I’ll add some blessings to the holy sword, too.”
“All right.”
“I’ll have to let it go soon. The demons seem to have noticed something.”
“Yes? Then…”
“Bye Bye.”
“Ah? Now, wait…!”
Jump!
“Ah…”
The main god was nowhere to be seen in the eyes of Si-woo, who stood up.
It was the sanctuary where he fell asleep after being called by the main god.
And in the seat next to him, the holy sword that had been summoned was shining more brilliantly than before.
