Chapter 391 – Episode 391 – Lucia’s Hidden Secret…?
To summarize what Ceres said, it is as follows. Decades ago, Ceres sealed Gaia. However, thanks to Gaia engraving the law into the world that allows heroes to change automatically, heroes like Charlotte who can save the world continue to appear. However, in fact, it seems that Gaia took refuge by moving her soul to avoid Ceres. Thanks to this, Ray, the Saint of Life, was born.
And what brought me back like this. First, I was very resistant to recklessly wielding the power of death, and while it was eroding my mind little by little, I learned the taste of sex and was good at sex, so I hoped that I would become a complete limb of myself. The way she tried to appease me was simple.
Stick and carrot.
They will make some concessions and promise to reward me, but in the end, they will put me in the lead and tell me to conquer this world. You must never listen to it. Even if I remain my complete self, if I become drunk with power and change into the person I am now, that cannot be said to be my true self.
“First of all… “I need to find out about this place.”
It was impossible to use force against Ceres. And there is no way they will allow you to leave at will. If I refuse to the end, I will eventually be trapped here and remodeled by Ceres. So, if there is a possibility, escape first…
“Lucia. Are you here?”
First, we headed to where Lucia was, as Ceres had told us. When I knock, I hear loud footsteps inside and the door slams. It seems like they’re hitting the door from the inside. Can’t I open this from the inside? When I pull from my side, the door opens.
“Daron!”
“Lucia!”
Platinum colored hair. The woman whom Odelia had kidnapped under the orders of Ceres appeared before my eyes.
He hugs Lucia.
“Lucia. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
It looks like he was trapped here and couldn’t come out.
“Are you here to save me?”
“No, I got caught too.”
I gave a slightly embarrassed answer to Lucia’s question, which was full of emotion.
“Yes?”
Lucia is surprised. She is embarrassed to hear that the imprisoned princess, or even the prince who opened the door for the princess, has been caught.
“… That’s it. “I’m sorry.”
“No. I’m not blaming you. “Where did you meet Daron?”
Lucia smiled as positively as possible for me, who was embarrassed. Yeah, that smile. A smile filled with sincerity and not artificiality. If it’s Lucia, she’s a woman who will be happy if I’m by her side until the moment she dies.
“It’s really better than that, right? Didn’t the goddess say you did something to her or something?”
“Ever since she was caught by that woman named Odelia, she has been here.”
“What about eating or going to the bathroom?”
“I don’t know if it’s magic or what, but every day there’s new food on the table. And those emissions… If you look at it from there, it disappears on its own.”
“Okay. “I’m sorry for telling you such an embarrassing story.”
“No. That’s how worried you were about me.”
Maybe it’s because he’s a god, but he seems to be able to do all sorts of things freely. And it was fortunate that he didn’t seem to treat Lucia harshly. It looks like he didn’t do anything to hurt Lucia just to accommodate me.
It was a perfect choice. If anything had happened to Lucia, she might have really turned around.
“But Daron, how did she end up here?”
“That is. Hmm.”
It’s been a while since I met Lucia, but she keeps giving me shameful answers.
“… “She is a goddess. I thought she was Gaia, but when we had sex, she turned out to be Ceres.”
“Puh-huh, that’s the answer.”
“Haha.”
Damn Ceres.
Even if I kidnap you, I will take you away fairly and shamefully. I’m lucky that Lucia has fun with everything I do.
“Come out first. It looks like he was just inside the whole time.”
“Yes.”
Lucia holds my hand and carefully leaves the building.
“It was a place like this.”
There were no tombstones like in a cemetery, and there were no skeletons rolling around, but it was extremely desolate. It wasn’t night, but the sky was a dark purple color and I couldn’t see anything lively.
“Is this your first time seeing the outside?”
“I did look through the window. But to think that every place you see is like this…”
“So, that’s right. The goddess of death really has no sense.”
It might be better than just being inside a small building, but even though it was nice, the background wasn’t great.
“Where is this place, anyway?”
“Ah. Didn’t I tell you? “It seems like this is a new world.”
“If it’s the new world. Is it like a place where God resides?”
“Yes.”
“Can we go back?”
“Just trust me.”
There must be some way.
We met after a long time and had a lot to talk about. It was very interesting to hear my women tell me about their pregnancy recently and especially about the war outside.
“Really, the devil is dead?”
“Actually, I barely killed him.”
“Thank god. That devil…”
Lucia trembled and held my hand tightly. It was only after the Demon King died that Lucia realized that deep down she had been very afraid of him. While he was imprisoned in that dark prison, he was crushed to death by the rubble that collapsed due to an attack by the Demon King’s army. He must have felt the fear of death, even though he did not show it.
“Then has true peace come to this world?”
“Yes. … Of course, there is one goddess left.”
“Goddess of Death…”
The goddess who brought me and Lucia here.
“Once Ceres is dealt with, there will be no more trouble in this world. If you completely corrupt me and start using believers to bring death to this world… There will probably be an even bigger disaster than the war caused by the Demon King before the return.”
“That can’t be possible.”
The world’s crisis is not over yet. Of course, one last remaining hurdle was clearly visible, but there was currently no way to overcome it. You can fight against the Demon King as a warrior, but killing a goddess makes no sense.
“Odelia, that bitch definitely said I could kill the goddess.”
“If you say O’Delia, then you mean the woman who kidnapped me, right?”
“Huh. That bitch actually seems to have a grudge against Ceres. But she was actually a good girl — not like this, she was a crazy bitch, but she said it would be a good opportunity if the Goddess of Death materialized.”
“Now that I think about it, I had a conversation with Odelia when I was just imprisoned in that house.”
“With Odelia? What story?”
There’s no way that woman would talk to Lucia for no reason.
“It’s not much of a story. When did she and Da-ron meet, and how did she end up receiving so much love from him? …”
Even if I say it, my face gets hot, as if I’m a little embarrassed.
“So it was just a normal conversation?”
“Actually, I lied just in case you didn’t know. It didn’t seem like there was much risk… Anyway, since they are enemies, I thought it would be dangerous to tell them my secret. But I probably got caught.”
“You got caught?”
“Yes. I kept ignoring it until the end, but you probably noticed. “I’m not good at lying.”
It doesn’t seem to matter since it’s not that dangerous that I have both memories before and after the regression, but for some reason, I felt uneasy. It doesn’t matter since he’s dead anyway.
“So what do you say?”
“That’s it. He just smiled meaningfully. For some reason, I felt like he knew the reason for my secret, but I was busy hiding it at the time…”
I robbed the Demon King of a gem that allowed me to go back to the past. There was a device installed that allowed me to return with my memories, so of course I knew what happened before I returned, but there was no way anyone other than me would remember the story before I returned. So, I even asked the dragon why this exception occurred to Lucia, but there was no answer.
… But what did Odelia know that even the dragon couldn’t find out?
“I, the one who knew that I returned without telling you, and…”
She now knows it as Ceres, but when she first met her in her dreams, pretending to be Gaia… She knew that I had regressed. In other words, you have to be at the level of a god to know that the world has gone back once.
“I, Ceres, the goddess of death… If Gaia hadn’t been sealed, she too… For a moment. “Wait a minute.”
New year… E.
“Daron?”
Lucia tilts her head cutely in front of me.
What did Ceres say? She said that Gaia’s soul had fled. She may be imagining things a little too much, but what if that soul went into a mother’s womb and came out as a human being?
In front of you… To Lucia.
“Haha… Haha.”
When I thought about it logically, it wasn’t an exaggerated imagination at all. If that wasn’t the case in the first place, it wouldn’t be possible for Lucia to retain her memories from before her return. This is nonsense unless it is a being other than God.
“Lucia. Surely you…”
“Why me?”
“Are you really God?”
“Yes? Me?”
