Chapter 11 – Investigation (4)
From her experience, Ellie seemed to have praised hard for 30 minutes.
If I had stopped him in the middle and left him alone for 30 minutes, he would have done it all day.
Anyway, the contents of the tablet were quite shocking.
Other than Ellie, other game characters have come over here.
Come to think of it, the letters I used to create Ellie’s ID yesterday were the same.
“For some reason, I thought it was amazing that Ellie could understand the language here. I guess it was because people from your world came over here.”
I thought it was a coincidence, but it seems that Seokpan’s character spread the language of the world he lived in.
“I too was wondering when I was reading it yesterday, and there was this secret.”
When I get out of here and return to the village, I think I’ll need to research the Aslan Empire in detail.
And the direction was decided.
“I think I know what to do for now.”
To summarize, in order to prevent Demon, a game monster, from crossing over to this continent, the dimensional gate Numeron must be destroyed, and it is located in a place called Chrome Shade.
Then, what I have to do is to summon more characters I have raised as soon as possible, increase their power, and set off for Chrome Shade.
The question is, when will the demons come over here?
I feel like maybe it hasn’t already passed.
If Demon had already crossed over, this world would have been devastated a long time ago, and I wouldn’t have been alive either.
However, since no one can know whether it will be held tomorrow, we must increase power as soon as possible.
“Let’s investigate the surroundings a little more. Since the stone tablets and our world’s equipment were found here, there must be something related to summoning.”
I hope so.
As I look around, I suddenly think deeply.
The character on the stone tablet said that he came here because the space nearby was distorted while fighting demons.
If the world god had summoned demons to prevent destruction, he would have just summoned the game character this time without having to summon me, but that wasn’t the case this time.
Why did you do that?
Wouldn’t it be too cumbersome to summon it through me?
Nevertheless, God called me here, and I eventually succeeded in summoning Ellie.
“Ellie, would you like to come here for a moment? We need to think about something together.”
Ellie responded to my words and she immediately came nearby.
“What’s going on?”
“Now that I’ve thought about it, I think the god here knew that demons would come over to this world before and summoned the Man of Stone.”
Otherwise, the game character wouldn’t suddenly come over here.
There is no way for space to suddenly twist.
Considering the causal relationship, it is thought that God opened the space and brought the characters on the stone tablet here.
“Then why didn’t we do the same this time?”
“Well… It would be easier to summon him in the same way as Jinu said.”
As Ellie said, if she were an omnipotent god, she would have just summoned her, but she chose to summon a game character through me.
“Unless this was God’s mistake, it had to be done this way. Then I think there are two possible assumptions.”
I continued, extending two fingers toward Ellie.
“First, I decided that I could not stop the demon with the person I had previously summoned, so I needed to summon someone stronger, but since I lack the power of a god, it was impossible to summon it directly, so I chose to summon it through me.”
“That may be true. If it were a world with weak beings like here, the power of the creator gods would likely be weaker than our gods.”
As Eli said, he couldn’t summon me right away because he didn’t have enough godly power, so he called me here.
And I don’t know how, but it seemed like it was a much less labor intensive way for me to summon Ellie.
“Second, it is possible for God to summon it directly, but he did not do it.”
“What do you mean you could have done it but didn’t do it?”
Ellie tilted her head at my words.
“Ellie, let’s say a strong being like you is brought here. But you won’t know whether that being is good or evil. That said, even if you select it well before summoning, you won’t know how that being will change afterward.”
“No matter what, wouldn’t it be a good idea to summon him to that extent? Or intervene directly.”
I shook my head and continued the story.
“If God had been powerful in the first place, he would have prevented the demons from crossing over directly. But since that wasn’t possible, he summoned us. So what is God doing now?”
“Ah… Are you saying that Demon is preventing Numeron’s seal from being released?”
I think so. They must be taking care to prevent the seal from being broken, but what if the beings who came to this world actually massacre them?
This is literally a complete reversal. Even so, it would be difficult to prevent the seal from being broken.
So, you will have to select and summon them very carefully.
“There’s no guarantee that a being that was thought to be good won’t suddenly turn crazy while God is blocking the seal, right? So, I thought we needed a separate being to control the being that defeated the Demon.”
“That’s what you mean, Jinu.”
“It’s just an assumption.”
I don’t know what’s right, but one thing that seems certain is that God has no time left to prevent the seal from being released.
No, it’s God.
If you’re a god, shouldn’t you be able to protect your own world?
And why me!
Elion is not a single game, but it is one of the top ten games in Korea, so there are a lot of users, and there are definitely people with stronger characters than mine…
If we organize our assumptions so far, questions that have not been answered for five years will also be resolved.
God couldn’t protect me just to prevent the seal from being released.
No, what if I had died in the middle of it? Why are you doing this, you nameless god?
Then, when I came here, I think the gears of fate came into contact.
“Then the summoning material must not be an ordinary substance. If the summoning is related to a god, I think we need to find something that contains the power of a god.”
“I think so too. The problem is how to tell them apart…”
When we look at the results and reason up to this point, we come to the conclusion that the material is something that contains the power of God.
But… What is that!
How do you know if it contains power without knowing what it is?
“Ellie, can you recognize me?”
“I’m not sure about that either. I’ve never felt the power of God.”
I really want to punch God here.
If you think about it, when you first used the summoning skill on the ground and a message appeared saying that the summoning materials were insufficient, there may have been no materials in the stone chamber here.
Still, we kept looking around just in case, but couldn’t find anything.
“Should we stop going up? I don’t think there’s anything more to investigate.”
I thought about giving up and going out and researching the Aslan Empire or Chrome Shade, which was said to have been founded by the Man of Stone.
“Wait.”
Ellie said to me as I was wondering how to climb out of this hole.
“Why? Did you find anything?”
“No. I haven’t found anything special around here… But if the power of God was used to summon the person of the stone tablet, I think this person’s body or equipment would have contained some of the power of God.”
“So?”
“If we assume that the stone chamber here is the tomb of the person on the stone slab, I think I was summoned by the power of the god contained in the dead body and the equipment hanging next to the stone slab.”
Hmm… Ellie might be right.
In the end, you need to find an item that contains the power of a god, and the closest thing you can find here might be that character’s body and equipment.
“But if you think like that, doesn’t that mean you can no longer summon other kids?”
If I could summon it with the power contained in the people I brought here, I would have already used it, so there is no more.
It will definitely be difficult for Ellie alone, so God would like to summon other characters as well.
“So, I think we need to do some more research. If you read the year engraved on the stone tablet here, it says it is the 54th year of the Imperial Calendar. Can you tell me what the year is today?”
“Year 54 of the Imperial Calendar? I think this is the first time I’ve heard of such a year being used. Could this be someone who was summoned much earlier than I thought?”
Obviously, the year used now is based on the new calendar.
There may be a huge difference in time between then and now.
Wait then?
“Ellie, is it possible that what you want to say is that there may be additional people besides us who were summoned between then and now?”
“Yes, that’s right. I did it just in case, and it seems to be correct.”
After coming to this world, I felt frustrated every day because I couldn’t figure out why I was here.
But since I summoned Ellie yesterday, I feel like I’m moving forward little by little.
Up until this point, I felt frustrated, like I was trapped in a black room and looking for a black cat, but I finally felt like I could see a ray of light.
“Okay, let’s get out of here and do some research and think about it.”
But how do I get out of this hole?
