Chapter 439 – Day 60 – The Princess Heads to the Desert and Meets the Sleeping God
“How can you wear clothes like that to fight? I don’t understand. Princess.”
“From my point of view, I don’t understand how you guys walk around with your breasts bare!”
The princess who hit her voice was wearing a platinum-colored dress she had worn in the imperial palace.
Conversely, Aquinos wore a leather armor that completely covered his entire body, and his face was painted blue.
The other races outside the wagon were all prepared to fight the god sleeping in the desert in their own way.
He was wearing armor and holding weapons he couldn’t even guess how to use.
‘I don’t know if everyone will be really helpful or not…’
It was not a fight with a passing bully, but a fight with a god sleeping in the huge desert, so the princess exhaled a long breath and leaned back in her chair.
Next to her was Uriel, with a similarly nervous expression.
“Princess Venus. I heard about it last night and this morning, but are you really okay?”
“I’ve talked to God before, so don’t worry.”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Aquinos coughed lightly.
“The priestess said she could n’t hear the voice of a god who was still asleep. She said that if a princess from the land of men has the power to kill a god, her chance is her now.”
“I don’t intend to kill you unconditionally… But let’s deal with it after seeing the situation.”
“I don’t know how confident you are when you say that.”
Aquinos shrugged his shoulders lightly and looked out his window.
In the rear compartment of this huge carriage were the ‘best females’ brought by Aquinos. Originally, they were supposed to walk barefoot in the desert to meet the sleeping god, but now, thanks to the princess’s grace her, they were moving in a carriage.
‘In the first place… I didn’t want to bring him, but…’
Since the princess is both female and male, she had no intention of sacrificing to the god she had become. However, Akinos has been saying that she must prepare for the worst.
She would have flatly refused, saying that she was not needed if she was in a situation where she was active alone.
“Wow… This is really delicious. What is this, sister?”
“A food called cake is coming. The princess gave it to me.”
“…I’ll have to say thank you later.”
The girls, whose bodies were forcibly corrected to the standard of ‘human’, were eating the food Ceres brought them with smiles of genuine happiness. Hedone’s worry, “Isn’t it ruining my body?”
There was, but Aquinos told me straight away that there had never been such a case.
Thanks to that, I was able to fully enjoy the tea time that could have been my last supper.
“Anyway, it’s really… A vast, empty desert.”
“In the first place, there is nothing in the desert. Foolish princess.”
“Don’t say that. I’ve been to the lands of the Southerners, and even though it was at war, they had everything they had. Yes! There were always oases. Mmmm.”
As her princess nodded her head and said, Aquinos looked out of her window without a word from her and gave her a bitter expression.
“Originally, there were green trees and beautiful meadows in this land too. It only became like this because the slumbering god ate everything he could see whenever he woke up.”
“God has no mercy. What’s the point if there are no followers?”
At that word, Aquinos sighed and laughed.
The princess spent time talking to Akinos for a while, and when her carriage finally stopped, she looked a little nervous and stood up from her seat her.
“…Ceres, how many hours did you travel by carriage?”
“It feels like a little less than three hours.”
“Oh… You were sleeping quite close to me than I thought.”
That’s why they warned that great things would happen if the sleeping god woke up at the same time as Vildejacht took place. The princess was convinced, and she carefully got out of her carriage.
“Hedone, Ceres! It would be better to wait in the carriage.”
“I can go wherever the princess takes me.”
“It’s the same for me. Foolish princess. If you came all the way here in the first place, wouldn’t it be more dangerous to be in the carriage?”
After saying that, the two women held the princess’s hand and walked out slowly.
“Oh my gosh…”
Hedone, who had come out of the carriage, was involuntarily surprised and slightly covered his mouth.
There was really nothing in the desert that even felt empty. In this place where the sense of direction is naturally lost, there was not even a hill made of sand piled up, and the oasis the princess had mentioned did not even exist.
All I could think was that if I went back like this, I would be able to return home someday because there was a solidly armed army of different races standing behind the wagon.
“…That guy over there must be a sleeping god.”
The princess pointed her finger at the structure in front of her.
Two of them look like pure white marble. It was suddenly stuck in this empty place.
‘In the mural, it looked like a gigantic woman… Hmm, what, only two pillars remain…’
Feeling her loneliness her, the princess carefully moved her body her. At that moment, Aquinos hurriedly grabbed her by the shoulders and stood her up.
“If you want to fight…”
“Don’t worry. If you could have killed the god with your attack in the first place, you could have killed it a long time ago.”
The princess, smiling as she meant to entrust her everything to her, slowly walked to the white marble pillar, behind which Ceres and Hedone stood.
“I thought a huge goddess would greet me, but there really is nothing in this desert.”
“Princess. Really, if we met a huge goddess, we would have to fight a fearsome enemy as soon as her eyes met her.”
“Hey, are you afraid of Uriel? I heard that elves have no fear.”
At Aquinos’ small joke, Uriel burst into a small snort.
“… This huge marble is the end.”
The princess’ eyes of her were serious as she reached out and touched her smooth marble.
‘The sleeping god depicted on the mural was in the form of a gigantic woman. If what is in front of me right now is just a very small image of God…’
There was a high possibility that cutting the pillar in front of her with a knife or kicking it would not mean much. Just as a human could not die if her claws her were broken, a sleeping god could not be overpowered or killed unless she struck the goddess ‘neck or smashed her head her.
“What… In the end, it has no choice but to be like this.”
The princess let out a deep sigh, shook her head from side to side, and stroked her pure white marble pillar one last time.
“Achinos. You, the warchief, at least… You must know at least the true face of the sleeping god, right?”
She said, “I heard that it looked almost exactly like the one pictured on the temple. It’s a story passed down from my father’s, my father’s, my father’s.”
“Well, then doesn’t that mean there is a god sleeping somewhere under this sand?”
Haha, the princess smiled lightly and lightly slapped the marble pillar with her palm her.
“Wait a minute, the princess from the land of men! You’re not trying to do what I’m thinking…”
“Sleeping god!!! Open your eyes right now! Let’s talk with me!”
The princess screamed so loud that Akinos was startled and covered her ears with her hands. She did and she cleared her throat.
There was no sound answering the voice that resounded loudly in the empty desert.
“Hmm… I guess I’ll have to find my sleeping head. I can’t believe the day will come when I’ll have to shovel here too…”
“Wow, princess? Are you really planning to scoop up the sand with a shovel?”
Ceres spoke in embarrassment, but the princess was sincere.
“It can’t be helped. If the marble in front of you turns out to be nothing more than the hair of a sleeping god, what’s the point of cutting it off?”
“…Wait a minute, Princess. You can’t believe you brought us here for a battle…”
As Akinos pointed to herself and the dissimilar tribe behind her, the princess smiled happily.
Haha!! I could n’t believe I brought you guys for that reason! But the current situation can’t be helped! If I don’t use a shovel, I don’t think I’ll be able to see the hand of the goddess, let alone her head her!!”
“Oh, really! I, the warchief, have to say that I’m going to dig up the sand here! Are you crazy?!”
Akinos grumbled, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t come up with a great way.
“Still, it’s fortunate that there are visible things. I think we can slowly dig around this marble pillar.”
Hedone said the most hopeful words and slowly came to the side of the princess and stroked the marble pillar the princess was reaching for.
The surface of the marble was so smooth that the fact that it was in a desert full of sand was a lie.
“Really beautiful…”
─Kugugung!
“… Huh? Wait…”
Instinctively hugging Hedone’s waist, the princess looked around her. She felt a strange vibration under her feet.
─Koo-goo, coo-goo-goo!
“…Princess. Something started to move under her feet in her…”
The moment Uriel spoke with his ears erect, the sand, which had been silent until now, began to shake greatly.
“What the hell is this…!!”
“Sir, God was angry…!!!”
– Whoa!
The vibration didn’t stop, and the princess and Hedone instinctively pulled each other’s bodies.
“Mo, all the sand is gone…! Kkeuk! What the hell is this…!”
“Wow, Princess! Look! It was a finger!”
“It was a finger?!”
Surprised, the princess pulled Hedone’s body harder and pulled it toward her own body her. A gigantic ‘face’ rising slowly from the bottomless sand!
“Princess!! Hedone-nim!!!”
The princess and Hedone realized it only after hearing Ceres’ voice coming from far below.
The two of them were standing on the palm of the ‘giant woman’. Even her hands naturally started to rise into the air, and there was no time for the princess to hug Hedone and go down to the ground.
In an instant, the princess faced a gigantic face and could see her closed red eyes slowly open.
『Start inspection』
It was the voice of God, without any emotion.
