Chapter 163 – How Some Believe Cynthia
Helga woke up from a long sleep and regained her energy.
What did Helga see after crossing the threshold of death?
The players were all desperate to catch Cynthia.
And the disbanded guild…
Those who lost the central point of Helga all scattered and entered other guilds or became mercenaries.
As much as that, the vacancy of Helga, the top player, brought a big blow to the guild.
“…”
Helga was confused when she saw the chaotic world.
However, the confusion was short-lived, and she got lost in her mind as to what she should do.
‘We must protect Cynthia-sama. There must be some misunderstanding. That the always neutral system is openly targeting Cynthia-nim?’
It could be because she did something really wrong, but Cynthia wasn’t the player for that.
If you look at the definition of a player like Senna…
Helga thought of Cynthia’s actions as she clutched her head.
Maybe… Just maybe Cynthia isn’t such a good player.
She always acted in secret. After she killed the Sena player, she never went out in public and she only did something in the dark.
She may have some truth in it.
She has to move
Action is needed to set this messy world right.
To do so, the mana circuit must be organized first.
“Ugh…! Ugh…”
Helga moved the stagnant mana of light within her own body.
It’s very painful, but the mana of light moves slowly.
The mana of light gradually spread throughout the body.
As soon as the light’s mana touched the rusted and broken mana circuit, it became clean as if it were reborn.
The mana circuit within Helga’s body was newly established to the extent that it would be appropriate to say that she was reborn.
After a few tens of minutes…
Helga confirmed that her body had been completely cleansed and that waste had accumulated around her.
Her filth, but all of her was the dregs of her own body.
Her smell is strong, but her body feels lighter now that the waste has been excreted from her body.
Shoot aaaaa-
It was then.
A white cloud of light began to surround Helga.
A warm and pleasant feeling. Cozy and comfortable to fall asleep…
-Yes. No matter how great a being is, it needs helpers.
Just before going back to sleep. An unknown voice tapped Helga’s ear.
– Everyone is going crazy. You were able to avoid anger thanks to your exhaustion.
“Who… Who are you?”
When Helga opened her eyes, she realized that she was surrounded by a white space of light, and her eyes widened.
-The one who created you but doesn’t interfere… Listen carefully to me. It’s not a dream, it’s reality and advice…
“…”
Helga had heard of it.
A divine being said to pass down to a few specially selected players.
“Tell me anything. I’m ready to close her mouth and open her ears wide to hear it all.”
– That’s good. This situation is now… The work of those who rule over humans. Strictly speaking, I’m on top of them, but I’m currently in a state where I can’t interfere.
Helga couldn’t understand what she was saying, but she listened to his voice in silence.
– Concerned about the future, I sowed new seeds while playing in human form. Indirect rather than direct intervention. My first seed was deeply dark in my heart, but it was growing well in its own way. But then something unexpected happened.
There was a deep sadness in his voice.
– Power is a truly bizarre force. The non-human gods have begun to move for power. Trying to ruin the seeds I planted like a ghost to occupy the center of power where I sit.
“That’s… Cynthia Player.”
I wanted to listen quietly, but the words involuntarily came out of his mouth.
-That’s right.
Just in case, I was right.
Helga trembled at the thought of Cynthia’s mysterious and powerful abilities.
-The seeds I sow are just tied to the idea of fate. Just like a plant grows by itself, t… Cynthia has grown well by herself. Then fate took a twist. Meeting the 7 crystals that are sleeping here and the being who owns them…
She didn’t reveal her true identity, but I could feel pity in her low-pitched voice.
Helga wanted to open her mouth again, but she wanted more information, so patiently she waited for him to give her a chance.
– Elemental Crystal. It’s a gem containing 7 pure elements. Currently, Cynthia has 3… Now, she will absorb 4 crystals and get closer to the realm of the gods… However, there will be more enemies targeting Cynthia. You help Cynthia.
Tring!
-!*#%!(@&Amp# All stats increase with protection.
-!*#%!(@&Amp# With protection, immunity to chaos and confusion.
The pure white light grew thicker.
The notification window caught a glimpse, but Helga didn’t see it, and she was lost in the light.
She couldn’t see Helga drowning in the light, but she had a pretty serious expression on her face.
“Can I do that? I’m still weak. I can’t do it on my own.”
Players in a state similar to a herd of piranhas are flocking to the gigantic rice cake that they can have Cynthia’s abilities and powers.
Even if you think about it with common sense, even if you think about the hopeful side, more power and more players are needed to solve this situation.
-If your strength alone is not enough, become the center of your strength. You are the only one with the strength and faith to convince your own people. And… Above all, he has the deepest contact with Cynthia.
“That alone is still…”
– You are good. He is a man who suits the light. Conversely, Cynthia has become a person who can fit in the dark… But both pursue a similar utopia… Line is line, one straight line, one chaotic line… This is the only thing I can do to avoid being noticed. I can’t, but don’t worry. From now on, I will sow seeds… More seeds… Let them sprout first.
“Please wait a moment!”
Helga, who was still unanswered, wanted to ask more questions.
But her lofty presence overshadowed Helga’s cry… And left her.
Shoot aaaaa-
“Ugh…!”
Because of her brighter light, Helga couldn’t even close her eyes and covered her eyes with her arms.
As her light quickly subsided and the silence around her grew, Helga lowered her arms and slowly opened her eyes.
No one is here.
Deng So left alone in her hospital room, Helga checked herself. But…
Tring!
-Awakens to new realms and new powers.

“…”
Cynthia easily reached the point of futility.
A night without anyone. Not a single angel could be seen on the stairs leading to the basement.
Cynthia felt an unknown chill at her silence, as if she didn’t exist in this world but herself.
However, Cynthia must absorb the crystal.
She has a clear goal to become stronger as she has divine beings as her enemies.
Cynthia calmly descended her steps.
Even without her light, Cynthia’s skill specialized in darkness and her eyes were aware of her steps as if she were wearing Yatoo.
Cynthia going down quickly and swiftly to avoid making a sound of her footsteps.
But it’s strange. No matter how much she goes down and down again, there is no end in sight.
A silence more terrifying than stillness…
A space full of silence beyond that silence.
No matter how far down the stairs, Cynthia’s impatience outweighed her fear.
Cynthia threw her body not at the stairs, but at the hole in the middle.
She attached endlessly stretchy doll threads here and there and slime bodily fluids to her bottom.
As her last insurance, she instructed her to protect herself first by attaching even her iris to her arms.
“It’s too much”
“I’m being lazy these days oh oh oh~”
Cynthia ignored the words of the two Iris and prepared for an unexpected shock.
But … And yet she showed no sign of touching the floor.
Darkness I can only see the endless darkness, the shape of the hole, and the spiral staircase…
“Master! It can’t go on like this!”
“Yes. It seems that there is a special power and barrier in this space.”
It was only when the two Iris gave Cynthia her advice that she realized that she had been too quick to judge.
She quickly clung to her steps, slowing her fall.
Landing on top of her steps with her slime-like lithe movements, Cynthia attempted to call upon the enslaved angels for help.
Woo woo woo-
At that time, a strange resonance echoed from the endless floor.
“Master?”
“Ah… I’m scared~~”
The two Irises clung to each other while acting cute, but Cynthia’s gaze was fixed on the way her bottom slowly turned to light.
Bright orange rays like the sunset are defeating the darkness.
To say it was light attribute mana, mana with superior power is consuming the darkness.
“Wow…”
“It’s beautiful… I feel like I’m on my honeymoon…”
She looked at this situation leisurely, her eyes twinkling, whether it was because of the wonderful sight or having her child.
That’s because just looking at this orange flash made me feel a subtle sense of tranquility.
“Relax. You never know what’s coming.”
Only Cynthia kept her sanity and increased her mana.
The point at which the orange halo begins.
A crystal clearer than the halo appeared.
Cynthia checked the orange crystals gushing over here…
‘I’m going to absorb it right away this time.’
Because of her crystal… She had a terrible experience, especially when she was subjected to the test of the Purple Crystal, which is the Devil’s Crystal.
This time she won’t let things happen.
