Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 341

345. I Robbed the Demon God’s Warehouse

“Did you see that? He bet a platinum coin.”

“To bet ten million contribution points at once, that guy’s got some serious guts.”

“But aren’t the conditions good? It’s just a 50/50 roulette, but the payout is ten times. I’d bet too.”

“I’m a bit uneasy, though. Look who he’s up against.”

“Ahem……”

With the murmurs of the onlookers, the Oni Mask vigorously spun the roulette wheel.

Being quite large, it looked rather heavy, and the Oni Mask seemed determined to live up to his size, pulling the handle with all his might. The roulette wheel spun so fast that the rabbit and wolf images blurred together.

“What do you think? Do you think you’ll win this time too, Mr. Wolf?”

“Probably.”

“Oh my, you’re full of confidence, aren’t you? I’m also a bit confident in my luck~”

So far, nothing unusual had been felt.

I was keenly focusing my senses, wondering if they were manipulating it again this time, but all I could hear was the sound of the roulette wheel spinning.

The Oni Mask was also examining the roulette wheel, looking at both sides, as if he suspected something.

It would be difficult to use any manipulation or tricks in this situation.

That’s when it happened. The anomaly began to occur on the roulette wheel.

Pajik!

“……Hmm? Did something just…….”

Pajik, Pajijijik!

“Keuheok!”

The Oni Mask was violently thrown in the opposite direction of the roulette wheel.

He reacted as if he had been kicked by a giant, rolling several times on the floor and crashing into the wall.

No one except the Oni Mask was around the roulette wheel. Considering he was thrown alone, his condition seemed quite serious.

His robe was completely torn, and half of his mask was broken, revealing his unkempt beard. He seemed to have lost consciousness, his body limp.

“What, what’s going on? Hey, wake up.”

“Did he faint?”

“Did anyone see anything? It looked like nothing happened.”

“Is there an invisible man or something?”

None of them knew why the Oni Mask had been thrown. Seun was the same.

‘What happened?’

It’s not that I didn’t feel anything.

I felt a slight impact, as if electricity was sparking from the ring of the roulette wheel that was indicating the result.

However, the problem was that I still didn’t know what it was.

‘It’s not magic.’

Not martial arts, not supernatural power, not technique, etc. None of it.

Before the regression, I had faced various players and monsters and experienced various abilities, but I couldn’t have predicted this at all.

The identity was revealed in an unexpected place.

– The Constellation, ‘Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ frowns.

– The Constellation, ‘Snake Coiling Around the City,’ warns not to act recklessly, saying that causality is bouncing.

– The Constellation, ‘Sleeping Mountain Goat,’ wakes up in surprise.

Causality (因果律) [The principle that one event causes another; cause and effect].

The law of inevitability where one state leads to another.

It sounds difficult, but simply put, it means the natural direction in which this world flows.

Players rarely pay attention to causality, but it is a very important concept for the Constellations.

Watching over players, giving rewards, appointing apostles, etc., all their actions that affect the mortal world were actions that defied causality.

‘Why causality here?’

A moment of thought.

Very few players knew about causality properly, but Seun was different.

At least, he had grasped almost all the information about causality known within the Tower.

Using that knowledge to reason, he soon came to an answer.

‘That woman…….’

Just as Seun had maximized his luck using ‘Ganesha’s Broken Tusk,’ she must also be using some kind of divine power.

Probably, the divine power bestowed by the God of Luck.

‘Who were the Gods of Luck?’

Several gods immediately came to mind, but I couldn’t make a hasty decision.

In the meantime, the speed of the roulette wheel gradually slowed down, and the sparking impact from the ring became even stronger.

“Oh my, this is amazing~ This is my first time seeing something like this.”

“What did you do?”

“I want to ask you that too? Since coming to the Tower, you’re the most intriguing person I’ve ever met, Mr. Wolf~”

The curtain that had been covering the roulette wheel couldn’t withstand the impact and fell off.

The players wondered what was happening and tried to fix their gaze, but only a very few could withstand it.

Most of them were either thrown back like the curtain or had to cover their eyes and turn their heads.

And finally.

Pajijijijik-!

The rotation of the roulette wheel reached its limit.

The speed stopped, and the result began to be revealed below the ring.

As I watched the roulette wheel pass the rabbit and turn towards the wolf, I couldn’t help but swallow hard.

‘The turning force is not enough.’

Cold sweat streamed down from my clenched fist without me realizing it.

It felt like I was holding a sword in a battle against a strong opponent, not a gamble.

‘Is luck still lacking even with the power of the artifact?’

Still, I maximized the power of the artifact itself and even destroyed its material, so the temporary luck should be comparable to the power of an apostle.

Not only Seun but also the Queen covered her mouth with a deck of cards, her eyes wide open.

Pajijijijijik-!!

Seun’s luck and the Queen’s luck.

The two causalities collided madly, creating a crazy impact, and finally, the result was determined.

The roulette wheel stopped with a thud.

With that, the collision of causalities stopped, and the shockwave that had been raging like a storm subsided.

Only then could people check the result of the roulette wheel.

“……Didn’t the Queen win?”

“It looks like it went towards that wolf guy.”

“Someone go take a closer look!”

Rabbit and Wolf.

The ring of the roulette wheel was 걸려 (hung/caught) on a thin line like a piano string that divided the two figures.

It wasn’t tilted to either side, and the ring was pointing exactly at the center of the line.

Originally, in such cases, the result would be determined by looking at the end direction the ring was pointing, but the end direction of the ring, which fell perfectly perpendicularly, was also pointing to the end direction of the line.

The 축 (axis/spindle) [The central point around which something rotates] that had been protruding to prevent a draw had long been broken due to the collision of causalities.

A guard brought a huge 수직자 (plumb bob/vertical ruler) [A tool used to determine verticality] and calculated, but the result was the same.

“Oh my, it seems like a draw~”

“…….”

“Even the Goddess of Luck couldn’t make a decision until the end. Right? How incompetent~”

Everyone had no choice but to admit it. That the result of this roulette wheel was a draw.

This was something Seun hadn’t expected either, so he had to ask her.

“The result?”

“Of course, it’s a draw~ Oh my, if you had fun, would you like to do it again? Of course, there might be another problem here, so let’s do it quietly in my room~”

“No, I’ll pass.”

One more time.

It was only thanks to maximizing the power of Ganesha’s Broken Tusk that I was able to draw a draw.

Even if I used an artifact related to luck again, I couldn’t guarantee victory.

“Ah, the coin is here. It’s our fault that a draw was allowed because the 축 (axis/spindle) [The central point around which something rotates] fell off~”

At her gesture, a guard approached and handed over a coin as beautiful as if it were made by 세공 (goldsmithing) jewels [Jewels crafted by a goldsmith].

A diamond coin.

It was a coin worth 100 million points, which even Seun had only heard rumors of and never actually seen.

It was only natural that the eyes of the players who recognized the existence of the diamond coin, even from afar, widened.

I didn’t receive it by winning the game, but I had no intention of throwing away the coin that they were willing to give.

“Then, shall we go up together?”

While the 2nd floor was being 정리 (organized/cleaned up) [Put back in order], the Queen, who had finished giving instructions, approached Seun and spoke.

When he looked at her as if asking what she meant, she opened her mouth with an even brighter smile than before.

“Wasn’t your goal to go up from the beginning? Hurry~”

The Lilac Queen.

She guided Seun to the 3rd floor of the casino.

* * *

“Oh, right. I forgot to introduce myself~”

“I think you’ve already revealed your identity?”

“That’s not an introduction~ I can’t reveal my name to 쓰레기 (trash/garbage) [Worthless or unwanted things] who don’t even know my name, right? So, I’ll formally greet you again~”

She covered her mouth with a card as if she were shy and smiled with her eyes.

If I didn’t know her identity, I might have thought there was a monster hiding in her mouth covered by the card.

“I’m Arcana, who rules the casino~ Mr. Wolf, you can call me ‘Ana’?”

“Was there a need to reintroduce yourself if you weren’t going to reveal your real name?”

“Oh my, real name. I’ve been in the Tower for so long that I’ve long forgotten such old names~ This is my real name now?”

Arcana.

A term with the meaning of secret, it was a word that perfectly suited her.

Yes, a word. It was a word that didn’t suit someone’s name.

‘For now, it’s certain that she’s a player.’

If she were a resident of Lilac, she wouldn’t have said that she had been in the Tower for a long time.

Besides, she said it’s been too long, so she must be quite old, unlike her appearance.

The lifespan of humans is only a little over 100 years at best, but this is the Tower.

Even if not immortal, there are always ways to maintain youth and extend lifespan, such as increasing 경지 (realm/level) [A stage of cultivation or power] or drinking 영약 (elixir) [A magical potion believed to grant immortality].

Moreover, she is the one called the Queen of the Casino.

She must have a lot of contribution points that would be among the top in the entire rest area, so it would be a piece of cake to get items related to youth and lifespan at the auction house.

“So, is your name Jeong Seun?”

“You don’t need my introduction anyway.”

“Hey, you’re too cold~ Still, that name sounds 별로 (not good/lame) [Unsatisfactory or unappealing]. Can I keep calling you Mr. Wolf?”

“Isn’t it not a good thing to say that someone else’s name sounds 별로 (not good/lame) [Unsatisfactory or unappealing]?”

“Then I’ll take that as permission. Mr. Wolf?”

From the beginning, she didn’t seem to have any intention of getting permission from this side.

Although she is an important figure, I decided not to 신경 (mind/care) [To pay attention or be concerned] since she is not someone I will be with for a long time anyway.

Even if she is a player, she rules Lilac, so once I leave this rest area, I won’t see her again.

“Ah, that’s right. Mr. Wolf, did you do something bad to Olympus?”

She blocked Seun’s path on the stairs leading to the 3rd floor and stared at him intently. Curiosity overflowed from her seductive eyes.

Olympus.

Through that word, Seun could guess the identity of the Constellation attached to her.

“As expected, it was Tyche.”

“Oh my, you’re quick to notice~”

“She’s the only goddess who rules luck in Olympus.”

“That’s right~ Actually, since Mr. Wolf sat next to me, our incompetent goddess has become a 벙어리 (mute/silent) [Unable or unwilling to speak].”

– The Constellation, ‘Crow Who Bows Its Head,’ realizes the identity of the stench.

Tyche.

The goddess of luck in Olympus, known to 주관 (govern/control) [To have authority over] the wealth and prosperity of the city, and its fate.

It seems that her communication has stopped because the Tower’s management office blocked all involvement, including Olympus monitoring Seun, due to the Pan incident.

By the way…….

‘Is she really an apostle?’

Her 말투 (way of speaking/tone) [Manner of speaking] felt a bit strange.

Originally, an apostle would mean someone who performs the mission closest to the Constellation.

It was hard for Seun to understand how such an apostle could say that her Constellation was incompetent or 벙어리 (mute/silent) [Unable or unwilling to speak].

Of course, Seun also secretly…….

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ desperately tries not to move to slow down digestion.

……No, it’s nothing.

“There’s a lot more I want to ask, but we can talk about that further up, right?”

Unlike the glamorous stairs on the 2nd floor, the stairs leading to the 3rd floor had a strangely dark feeling.

Besides, it felt more like moving sideways than simply going up.

Considering the distance 추론 (inference) [A conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning] through the number of steps, I had already 벗어나 (escaped/deviated) [Moved away from] from the 1st or 2nd floor.

It was to the point where I wondered if I was heading to a completely new building.

‘Well, hidden by the splendor, the 1st and 2nd floors were narrow compared to the actual building size.’

The closer I got to the door, the more I seemed to hear cheers.

And finally, as soon as the door to the 3rd floor opened, the first thing I saw was.

“Welcome to the most fun gambling den in our casino~”

푸홧!

A fountain of red blood soaring high into the sky.
