Chapter 213 – How to Defeat the Final Boss (5)
When I told her that I had to return to the world I came from, Gaia’s eyes widened to their maximum and she could not hide her surprise.
Gaia’s surprise is not understandable. When he says he is going to the original world, it may sound like he is trying to run away from the current situation.
But even if I end up going to the original world, I will never return to this world. There is absolutely no way for me to have the option of leaving everyone who has become the most important people to me here and running away to the original world to live alone.
【Won, do you mean the original world? Are you asking me to take you back to the place where you were before you came to this world?】
“Yes, that’s right. I don’t think there’s any other way.”
I conveyed my firm determination to Gaia in my voice.
【Well, that… I mean… Uh…】
After hearing what I said, Gaia waved her hands in the air in a panic, as if she couldn’t hide her embarrassment, and couldn’t even give a proper answer.
Is it really that embarrassing to ask you to send me back to the original world? I didn’t think they would accept it so calmly, but I also didn’t expect them to be this embarrassed.
Why are you so upset?
“Why are you doing that? Is it impossible? Please answer that first.”
【Oh, no! So… Bu… It’s not impossible. Yes, it is possible, but…】
First of all, I’m glad it’s not impossible. From what I think, if I can’t go to the original world, I can’t even start. If you cannot return to the original world, it is safe to say that there is no way to defeat Chaos Alcatraz.
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart that such a hopeless future would not unfold. This was because she was very worried about what would happen if she brought up this topic and Gaia firmly stated that it was impossible.
First of all, Gaia said it was possible. Although it’s a little unsettling to see him act so flustered over there.
“Is something wrong? I don’t know why you’re so restless.”
【Ah, that’s… I wonder if we need that much preparation to send Jinu to the original world. It’s difficult to send it to you right now…】
What does this mean again?
“Could you explain in more detail? What do you mean?”
【I may be a god, but I can’t just casually cross dimensions. In particular, the more powerful the being trying to cross the dimension, the more power is needed in proportion to it. As you know, Jinu, I had lost too much of my strength at that time to bring the hero to this world. In order to use that power minimally and efficiently, I chose to summon the hero through Jinu.】
As Gaia said, the reason I came to this world was to summon my game character here. But what does that have to do with this?
“But didn’t Gaia summon me here? And that was when I lost most of my power. Since I’ve recovered quite a bit of my power now, I don’t think sending me back to the original world and then bringing me back would be that much of a problem, right?”
Gaia said she lost most of her power while pushing Chaos Alcatraz out of the dimension. She devoted herself entirely to blocking Numeron, the dimensional gate that was too strong to restore its power, and summoned game characters to block Demon’s attacks. Then, the power of the game characters that had to be summoned had to become stronger to block the gradually stronger power of the demon, and the power required to summon it also increased accordingly, so the power required to summon the Hero without being able to recover its power also became a burden.
Isn’t that why you summoned me here so that you can summon a hero as powerful as the power unleashed in your world? I thought it wouldn’t matter since I’ve regained a lot of my strength now.
【Yes, that’s right. It’s exactly as you know. But there is one thing that has changed since then.】
One thing that has changed? What is that? I don’t think anything has changed…
Ah!
“Are you saying it’s because I’m stronger now than I was back then?”
Gaia heard me and nodded her head.
Certainly, if I compare myself now to when I first came to this world, I have changed to the point where I feel sorry for the comparison. Starting with basic combat skills, I wonder if I can deal with the monsters here alone, and since I can continue to use the skills of the jobs that exist in Elion games by myself, I think I would be one of the top powerhouses by the standards of this world.
In addition to combat abilities, many useful abilities have also been gained. Although it is limited to game items, there is an inventory where you can store items in a fictional space that only you know, and even if all of the game characters are far away, you can convey what you want to say.
I also gained the ability to teleport to any place I’ve been to in an instant, even from far away places, and I also gained the ability to adjust my stats or strengthen game items.
Are these things combined one by one to make me much stronger than my old self, and because of that, it has become difficult to send me back to the original world?
【Now, Jinu has become strong enough, although not as strong as the warriors. If you were in the original world, it would probably be burdensome to summon you. Although it would be possible to send Jinu back to the original world, it would not be enough to have the power needed to bring her back…】
That’s impossible… I never even thought of this. I never thought I would have problems summoning and countersummoning because my power has become stronger. Is my plan to go to the original world, find a way, and come back blocked from the beginning?
But it can’t be done. There is no other way than this.
“You said you lack strength. How much do you mean you lack? Is it a long way short?”
【Currently, just sending Jinu back to the original world will require using most of the power recovered now. Then, when I bring it back to this world, I will definitely lack strength.】
Is that how it happens? It’s completely normal traffic.
Is there no other way? There will be no way to defeat Chaos Alcatraz if it remains here in the world. I originally planned to find a way by returning to the world, but even that ended up being blocked in vain.
【Sorry. I want to help Jinu and the warriors in any way I can, but I’m so lacking… Ugh!】
Gaia covered her face with her hands and began to whimper. Since she explained the situation so far, she probably knows what kind of situation Gaia is in, and she is probably crying because she is angry at her helplessness.
So there’s no way…
I never thought that my becoming stronger would actually be a hindrance. I wish I could just give up this power for a while.
What?
“Are you saying that the problem is because I am now stronger?”
【Sobbing! Yes… I think that can’t be helped… I don’t have enough strength… Ugh!】
Gaia is still sobbing.
“Then what if I give up my powers for a while and move on?”
【Yes? Sniff! What do you mean by that?】
Gaia removed her hands that were covering her face and lifted her face towards me, a mess of tears and snot.
“Do you know about this power that has made me stronger now? To be honest, I also use this power, but I actually don’t know exactly. It’s just that I can use the system that exists in the game that I explained earlier.”
Gaia wiped her tears with her hands and moved closer to me, pressing her face close to me. Gaia stopped whimpering and looked at my body condition carefully.
She suddenly came up to me and got in my face, almost making me step back from her in embarrassment.
After some time, neither short nor long, Gaia moved away from my body again.
【Um… To begin with, I don’t know exactly what power Jinunim has right now. I’m guessing it’s related to the game Jinu mentioned.】
That’s because this power itself uses the game system, so of course it’s related to the game.
【Perhaps the game Elion in Jinu’s world and the world where the heroes live are indirectly connected, and in the process of bringing Jinu into this world, the dimensions of the hero’s world and Jinu’s world seem to have become a little twisted. As a result, Jinu seems to have been able to use the power of the warrior’s world, as well as the power of the game that Jinu knows. I don’t know what caused this.】
“Then can I hand over my power? No, it doesn’t matter if I throw it away. As long as I can go to the original world and come back.”
It would be useful if you were to battle Chaos Alcatraz again with this power, but you can discard this power anyway as long as you can move towards a more likely outcome.
Because I have everyone.
【Hmm… Maybe… I think I can take charge of it for a while. Even if I take it, I don’t think I can use it.】
