Chapter 791 – 90 Days – What All Living Things in This World Have
“Abama does things like that…”
The princess bit her lip tightly and sighed.
“If you have that kind of power, you could probably use it for something more beneficial.”
“Even if she is a member of the royal family, her life has an end. Jupiter Holympia was afraid of her own end.”
“What kind of nonsense is that? There is an end to all life. Are you afraid of that, and are trying to create the best successor to rule the empire on which the sun never sets forever?”
The power that can save countless people is being used in such a place?
The princess was dumbfounded and sighed, but she also felt an instinctive fear of his omnipotence.
“Minos…”
It wasn’t something she said out of fear, but the princess felt that her future was at a loss.
It was something that could not be helped. She once again realized that the being she had to fight was ‘God’.
Even in the fight to protect Minos, the princess never did anything half-heartedly. She fought with all her might, ready to kill her father in front of her.
What was the result? She was able to hide Minos by asking Ceres, but that was all. Furthermore, she could not fight Emperor Jupiter and win.
“I don’t know why Minos told us to go here. It doesn’t change the fact that it’s the land where the gods sleep…”
The princess was embarrassed.
If there were any remains of an old god, she would think about doing something with them, but the being in front of her was alive and well.
In a sense, he was very lively, not just to the point where he was alive, but to the point where he could lift the curse placed on him by the emperor.
‘How to fight and win against a being with god-like power…’
The princess, feeling sorry for herself, clenched her fists and trembled, then kicked her to the ground and turned her body around.
“Woe, Princess…”
“I can’t help it, Hedone.”
Leonie stroked Hedone’s shoulder as she looked at the princess with a worried expression.
“I heard that His Majesty, Emperor Jupiter, can use the same power as God?”
“… That’s right, it’s a human child.”
Leonie was a little scared by Frigg’s answer, but continued speaking.
“Common sense says. If the opponent comes with a sword, I have to hold the same sword, so I can fight. The emperor is a god, right? He can use the power of a god, right? If the princess plans to fight, it’s natural for her to be angry. Yes.”
“The only way to gain the power of a god is to kill him and take his power, right? The only way is to eat him or violate him, right?”
Leonie quietly nods her head. She knew exactly what the princess was going through, but ironically there was nothing she could do to help her.
“Because I am incompetent…”
There must have been some meaning to her beloved daughter’s words, but the princess couldn’t figure it out.
The unfortunate thing is that even Frigg had no way to solve the princess’s concerns.
“It’s just a shame that I boasted that I had the knowledge and wisdom of the ancient demons.”
“Woe, princess!”
Hedone, unable to leave the distressed princess alone, shouted.
“I always have faith in the princess. She will definitely find her way.”
“Hedone…”
“Just as I trust the princess I love, please trust yourself too. Please trust Minos! He is the child born between me and the princess.”
Carefully, Hedone holds her princess’s hand tightly.
“This is a child who can even use the power of a god. You know that. This is what such a child begged her beloved Princess Abamama to do at the end.”
“… Are you saying that Minos, who knows my nature, couldn’t have told me how to gain power by killing a god?”
“Yes, princess, the Minos we know is a good child. There is no way she would have told you, princess, that she would have done something so cruel and unreasonable as to have blood on the hands of her favorite father.”〈 Br〉
The princess was silent for a moment.
She felt helpless in the face of the emperor’s omnipotence after everything she had accomplished so far, but there were plenty of reasons to be a little stronger.
“Friday.”
『Please give an order. Chairman.』
“Please explain this facility.”
The land where God sleeps.
This is the world seen through the eyes of the princess and Hedone.
『This is where nectanium is extracted from the body of the test subject Frigg. The extracted nectanium is input into the nectanium-generator to produce electricity.』
“Are those bottles rolling around in this room the nectanium extracted from Frigg’s body?”
『That’s right. To be more precise, the nectanium contained in body fluids has been purified and converted into a pure form.』
“Does this facility have any other functions? I remember taking the elevator down to a fairly deep place.”
It couldn’t be that way, the princess was sure.
“Isn’t electric power a power that has similar properties to magic power? With that power, elevators can operate and refrigerators can stay fresh even without magic stones.”
『The facility includes a residential function.』
“Living here…”
The princess exhaled, the words ancient demon coming out to the tip of her chin.
“What happened to all the people?”
『Currently, no biological reactions are being detected anywhere except the room where the Chairman is.』
“What is their cause of death? Friday, don’t you know? Tell me in detail.”
『Nectanium poisoning.』
The princess swallowed her saliva and looked at her frig.
“Frigg, is the reason why you can’t get out of here similar to the reason why the beings here died?”
“That’s right, sir.”
“On the contrary, we don’t seem to have any problems.”
The princess, with a worried expression, touched her chin.
‘Did Eve really imprison just one old god in such a sturdy and well-built facility?’
The princess thinks about how she released numerous old gods into a huge space like animals in a zoo.
‘I can’t possibly know how time originally passed, but considering Eve’s personality, wouldn’t they try to increase the efficiency of the facility since the old god was imprisoned so perfectly?’
After thinking about it for a while, the princess placed her hand on her frig’s chin and held it, making him look at her.
“Frigg, are you hiding something from me?”
“Sir, I am telling you everything.”
“Do you have any brothers or sisters in this facility other than yourself?”
Frigg blinked her eyes and shook his head from side to side.
“I’m sorry to tell you, but unfortunately I don’t know what happened to my sisters and brothers.”
“Do you know nothing more than that you were brought here and treated humiliatingly?”
Frigg nods his head. When she thought about it, there was no reason for her to lie, but thanks to her confirmation, the princess was able to develop her thoughts in only one direction.
“Friday. Where are the other test subjects in this facility?”
『Except for the test subject Frigg, there are no test subjects left.』
“Is that possible? Don’t just answer to a living test subject.”
『There is a test subject, Chairman. The test subject is currently dead.』
The princess swallowed her saliva and looked at Frigg.
“West, please come back.”
Frigg, kneeling on her ground, bowed as if bowing.
“There must be a way to gain the strength of my brothers and sisters without taking my life.”
“Is it guaranteed by the power of God?”
“No, it is guaranteed by a woman who loves you.”
The princess let out a small laugh, grabbed Frigg’s hand that was holding her body, lifted her up, and kissed her cheek.
“The room your sister, Udr, is in seems to be a very dangerous place for you. Remain here. And…”
The princess looked at Hedone and Leonie.
“You, too, remain with Frigg.”
“Oh, hey, princess. We came from the earth, so there’s no problem if we go to a place with a lot of necks.”
“He may not have died simply because he was poisoned by nectanium. Look at what happened to Frigg. Didn’t he do something like an animal to the god of the house? Didn’t he squeeze the milk from his chest and use it as a material to make something called electricity? Do you?”
Hedone knew her princess’s feelings, so she took Leonie’s hand a little and moved her feet to where her frig was standing.
“Leoni, let’s do it. If you open the door to the room where the old god Udr is, monsters or traps you can’t even imagine may pop out.”
“Hmm, if that’s the case, it would be impossible for us to somehow avoid the princess. Well, there’s no need to be a burden.”
Leonie, who answered coolly, joined Hedone next to Frigg, and fortunately, the old god, who loved the princess so much, did not reject the beings in front of her.
The princess was able to leave her room with a little peace of mind because she gave a look in her eyes that said she would protect her.
“Friday, show me the way. I must go to Udr, the old god.”
The princess walked through a deep and dark space, following the pure white light that appeared before her eyes.
─Jiying!
The hallway that was thought to have only one direction actually had a hidden path.
As the huge wall rose, the princess walked along the newly appeared path for a while, and finally she was able to reach a certain room.
“I’m going to open the door.”
『Confirmed.』
With one word from Friday, a door that seemed like it would never be opened.
─Chaaaaa!
“Uh, huh?!”
At that moment, seawater that seemed to be twice as tall as the princess poured out, and the princess was able to keep her position without being swept away by the waves.
“Ugh…! This is!”
At the moment when the water level of the seawater pouring out of her gradually weakened, the princess, who confirmed her presence coming down on the surging waves, accepted the child with both hands.
Although she was a princess whose body was greatly twisted, she did not drop her child, whom she held with both hands, and the moment the seawater that had filled her room disappeared, she was finally able to check the child’s condition. 〉
“Ha, ha… Friday. Didn’t you say that the test subject, Udr, died?”
The princess realized that the child she was holding in her hands was breathing in and out very slightly.
“That’s not the problem now in the first place. This child, this child… Can never be said to be the same as the god that Abamama ate…”
Although her appearance was completely different, the princess could only think of one thing as she looked at the child she could gently lift with her two hands.
“Is this the old god’s… Childhood?”
