Chapter 219 – To the Original World (1)
They all understood what I had to say about God later when I explained it to them. Since I don’t know all the implications, I just assumed it wasn’t a big deal, but on the day it’s revealed, I’ll probably have to talk about it with a bigger heart than I do now.
“Then Jinu and we are all going to return to our original world for a while. Will Gaia help us with that?”
“Because we can’t cross the dimension on our own right now. I talked to Gaia about that.”
I told him about my conversation with Gaia. If I want to return to the original world, it is impossible to go back to the current state. First, I will send everyone here back to the original world through me, and then I will hand over this power to use the game system to Gaia for a while, and after it is weakened, I will also return to the original world.
And as I said before, I raise everyone’s specifications further through the Elion game. After that, Gaia summons me here again, and I summon everyone again as before.
“Jinui, is it okay for you to lose your strength? You’ve become really strong, but it’s a bit of a shame.”
“I promised to get it from Gaia when I come back, and honestly, even if I don’t have that power, it’s okay because it’s important for you guys to become stronger. I think this is almost the only way to defeat Chaos Alcatraz, so I’m willing to sacrifice my power. “I can give it to you.”
Honestly, it would be a lie if I said I wasn’t sad about losing this power. Through this battle, I saw that I was in a position to fight along with everyone, and I thought I could do at least one person. Although my combat power was lower compared to everyone else, the reason I was able to do it alone was not because of inflicting damage to the enemy.
Of course, when fighting an opponent who is not that strong, I can handle it alone, but the damage from the skills I use against an enemy with more combat power will not be that great. However, I think my true value lies in assisting my team, not in inflicting damage to the enemy.
First, we were able to prevent damage by using defense skills the moment an enemy attack was about to reach our team, and we could also increase mobility with movement skills. In particular, 〈Time Stop〉 could be used in really dangerous moments to save someone from death.
How could it not be a pity to have to throw away all these forces?
But now the ultimate goal is to defeat Chaos Alcatraz.
If you have to give up this power for that goal, you can give it away as much as you want. It’s not the power I originally had anyway, and just because I don’t have this power doesn’t mean I can’t live. I have everyone. I can live happily with just that, so what’s the big deal if I don’t have that kind of power?
“It is certainly a pity that Jinu-nim will no longer help us when it is appropriate, but we have no choice if we are to cross the dimension and return to the original world.”
“Then shall we call Gaia here?”
‘Please come soon. Gaia. ‘You were listening to us, right?’
I called Gaia here in my heart. Then the center of the room began to glow, and each of the lights gradually gathered in the center and began to transform into the shape of a person.
In the current situation, there is only one person who can change into human form. The shape of the light gradually changed into the image of Gaia, which I knew well and whom I had just spoken about. Gaia, who transformed from light, opened her closed eyes and slowly looked around the room, then found us and made a happy expression.
“Jinu! And hero! Hello. My name is Gaia, the creator god of the Arpe Continent.”
Gaia bowed her head towards us and greeted us politely.
Other than Nai, this is his first time meeting Gaia. So, I thought I should introduce it in the middle, so I tried to come forward. However, the moment Gaia appeared, everyone could see her expression harden. She feels completely different from the friendly atmosphere she had when talking to me just a moment ago.
“Oh? Are you Gaia? I really wanted to meet you, twin bitch.”
It was Lenia who opened her mouth first. The problem is that it started out as a double curse.
“Eh…? Yes? Yes?!”
Gaia was unable to hide her embarrassment at her sudden outburst and began to stutter her words. She would be happy if only the curse flew away, but the moment she recognized that it was Gaia, Ellie and Lien, who had no good feelings toward Gaia, also approached Gaia, and Lien pulled on her Gaia’s collar.
“Caw!”
“I guess you are Gaia. I really wanted to see you.”
Seeing everyone threatening with stern expressions towards Gaia, who was grabbed by the collar, made me even more scared. She tried to intervene and mediate, but she was radiating her entire body with her aura of anger towards Gaia, and I was scared.
“Uh, hey! Why are you doing this? Huh?”
“Ha, this bitch doesn’t know her fault. Jin-unni went through some trouble because of you!”
However, I thought that if I left it like this, the three angry people would hit Gaia, so I ran and got between Gaia and the three people.
“Wait a minute! Stop fighting and wait!”
When I stopped the three people, Lien heard me and let go of her hand holding her collar and stepped behind her.
“It’s not that I don’t understand how you feel, but there are more important things than that right now. Just wait a moment.”
“I will bear with it since you said so, but I can’t help but feel angry when I see that guy. If you hadn’t stopped me, I would have punched you a long time ago.”
In Lien’s words, I could feel that she was suppressing her anger as much as possible.
When I look back, Gaia is looking at me with an expression that makes her look like she’s going to cry loudly if I hit her even once. Judging by her expression, it seems like she doesn’t really know what she did wrong. Looking at this, should I say she is really pure or stupid?
When people see people like this, people around them might say, ‘He may be a bad guy, but he’s kind.’
“Ji, Jinu~~~!”
At one point, perhaps because I stopped her, she started crying and ran toward me, trying to hug me. Seeing Gaia like that, I stretched out my hand towards her face and stopped her from approaching.
“Ah… Are you really coming over to me in the middle of this to give me a hug? No, can we just talk to each other now? Anyway, you heard everything we had to say earlier, right?”
Still, he was a god in his own way, so we spoke with respect when we were alone, but now I wonder if there is a need to do that. Anyway, Gaia has no way to stop Chaos Alcatraz without us, and isn’t it different from mutual cooperation?
“Eh… I see… Right?”
“Okay, Gaia. The three of us here don’t have any good feelings towards you, so let’s just do our own thing and get it over with.”
Gaia heard me and quietly nodded her head. The look on his face makes me feel like he doesn’t understand what’s going on, but that doesn’t matter.
“I know you guys hate Gaia, but there’s something more important than that right now, right? It’s not too late to discuss it after we’ve clearly sorted things out for our purpose, so let’s do it then.”
“Yes… Jinu. As soon as I saw him, I got really angry. I couldn’t help but get angry when he said he didn’t do anything to help us and just watched us fight.”
I don’t understand how you feel… When I first heard that, I got so angry that I almost swore.
Anyway, I’ll end this story here and get on with what needs to be done right now.
“Well, the first thing we have to do is send everyone to the original world. Gaia, what should I do? I’ve tried summoning before, but this is my first time reverse summoning?”
So far, I have summoned everyone through items used by past game characters who have been summoned here. The game item contained the power of Gaia, and through that power, everyone could be summoned. I think reverse summoning will have to be done through the power of Gaia.
“First, I will share the power with Jinu. You can do something similar to summoning. Now, come closer here.”
If you say it’s the same as summoning, does it work if you think about it in your mind?
When Gaia told me to come closer, I approached her. As I approached Gaia, he reached out and gently placed his hand on my chest. Then I felt a familiar power building up inside my body.
There was a time in the past when Gaia summoned me by sharing her power directly with my body, and it was exactly the same feeling. Can I reverse summon this?
I thought about countersummoning in my mind, and at that moment, I heard a familiar message.
“Please select the target you wish to reverse summon.”
This doesn’t seem to be coming from Gaia. What is it?
The game system also appears not to have been created by Gaia.
“If I think about it clearly, it seems like I can reverse summon. I understand that you can use your power to summon or reverse summon, but is this message in my head also your power?”
“A message? What is it?”
Does Gaia have no idea? This seems to me to have something to do with the ability to use the game system.
