Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 623

“I never imagined you would come so early. I thought you would rest for at least a few days and then come after assessing the situation.”

“Is that so.”

I followed the angel and passed through the first gate.

And what appeared was… the second gate.

‘The security is still as tight as ever.’

After that, the walls continued in layers, and each time, I had to pass through checkpoints guarded by angels.

Thanks to the angel leading the way, we passed through quickly, but if it were someone unauthorized, even Seun, it would have taken a considerable amount of time to break through and pass.

The walls not only served as physical defenses but also took the form of magical barriers.

“You don’t seem as surprised as I thought. Originally, all the warriors who enter the Platinum Castle for the first time are busy gaping and admiring.”

That was inevitable.

Although it was only once, Seun had already visited the Platinum Castle.

The Platinum Castle was still beautiful, but I didn’t feel the same excitement as when I saw it for the first time.

‘The interior is the same.’

Since entering Shainen, I couldn’t find any differences from before my regression, except for being called a warrior.

However, Seun didn’t just overlook the minor change in title.

Since the title had changed, something else must have changed.

The best way to find out was….

“Why do you call us ‘Warriors’?”

It was a direct question.

There was no need to beat around the bush; asking the person who seemed to know best was the quickest way.

“Ah, I was originally planning to explain it while having a meal in the castle.”

“I’ve already eaten.”

“Is that so? That’s a shame. Our Platinum Castle’s meals are known as the best feast in Shainen. Even if you’re a little full, you’ll definitely pick up a fork if you sit in front of it.”

“No, thanks. Let’s skip the meal.”

“You’ll really regret it. Hmm, I understand. If you want, I’ll treat you again sometime in the future.”

The Platinum Castle’s meals are extravagant.

Even Seun before his regression was impressed by the luxurious feast, but now he had no interest.

Basically, the Diablo Guild’s meals were excellent, and he had even eaten Ambrosia and Nectar, the food of the gods, at the spire not long ago.

No matter what came out for the feast, it couldn’t compare to the food of the gods.

When Seun showed no interest, the angel answered the question as if he couldn’t help it.

“Warrior. We haven’t been calling the guests who have overcome trials that for long.”

Guests. That was the title Seun had heard before his regression.

To be precise, blessed guests.

“Even when the Red Dragon and the Guardians who arrived before the warriors arrived, the title of warrior did not exist.”

It meant a guest who had achieved difficult trials and arrived in Shainen with the guidance of God.

The reason why the angels welcomed the players was to treat the guests who arrived according to God’s guidance with the respect they deserved.

“Then when did it start?”

“In your time… it hasn’t been more than two or three years, I think.”

Two or three years.

Seun nodded at those words.

The standard of time was ambiguous because it was different, but perhaps that time was….

‘When I regressed.’

It was a similar time to when Seun first entered the tutorial.

“Shainen, which God is watching over, was peaceful. It was a place full of happiness and laughter, where no disturbances occurred.”

“But something went wrong.”

“That’s right. In this Platinum Castle, which is the symbol and heart of Shainen, ‘It’ began to rise.”

It.

The moment I heard those words, a wriggling black liquid came to Seun’s mind.

Outer.

And that prediction hit the mark nicely.

“It was terrible. The moment that evil shadow rose, Shainen was engulfed in screams for the first time.”

“Was there no response at all?”

“Yes. The Royal Guards stepped forward, but no attack worked against it. Rather, the moment they approached, it devoured the Royal Guards as if it had been waiting.”

“If it devoured them….”

“They manipulated the Royal Guards. It was truly unbelievable; the Royal Guards, who had been consumed by it, turned their backs and attacked us.”

As expected, Outer. There is no existence that can match that description other than Outer.

In other words, Shainen was attacked by Outer from the point when Seun regressed.

Like other shelters, Outer, who had been sleeping somewhere in the shelter, must have started to act for some reason.

That reason is probably….

‘The Tyrant.’

It couldn’t be explained without him.

Since Seun’s regression, all the anomalies related to Outer were created by him.

“Honestly, it was desperate. Thanks to the Red Dragon stepping up, we were barely able to prevent it from expanding further.”

Red Dragon.

Seun knew her identity well.

Red Dragon, Kashallakas.

She was the leader of the guild who was the only player to reach the tenth shelter.

If she was a dragon, she wouldn’t be able to defeat Outer, but she would have been able to push it back and buy time.

“However, even the Red Dragon had her limits. The flames gradually weakened, and it began to flow out through the gaps.”

Outer cannot be stopped.

No matter how much of a dragon she is, even if a constellation comes, Outer cannot be defeated.

Eventually, living beings can only get tired, and then they will eventually be consumed by Outer.

At that time.

“That’s when it happened.”

The angel’s face, who had been continuing the story, brightened.

As if he had started this story to say this part from the beginning.

He shouted the highlight of the story.

“The Warrior appeared.”

“Warrior?”

“We don’t know the exact identity. She was definitely not a guest who was originally there, but she suddenly appeared. Perhaps, she was an apostle sent by God for us.”

The angel spread his arms as if praising the sky.

“She was a very beautiful warrior.”

“That warrior stopped Outer?”

“Outer? If you’re talking about that, then yes.”

“How?”

“I don’t know the details. It was really strange. The moment she appeared, it returned to the deep depths under the Platinum Castle where it had originally been buried. It was like….”

“Like?”

“It was like turning back time.”

Time.

Seun stopped walking without realizing it.

The prediction was correct.

The being he called a warrior was the same being as the first regressor the Tyrant had mentioned.

How did she reverse time?

The answer is simple.

It was the treasure Seun used from Mammon’s treasure vault when he regressed, ‘Chronos’ Hourglass’.

The one in the treasure vault was a treasure Mammon had copied, so she used the real Chronos’ Hourglass, not a replica.

“It all returned to where it originally was below, and those who had been eaten by it also returned to their original forms.”

“Really?”

The two angels guarding the last gate bowed their heads to Seun.

When the door opened, the layers of walls finally ended, and the true appearance of the Platinum Castle came into view.

“Of course. The two Royal Guards we just passed were originally eaten by it. They were saved thanks to the warrior.”

Seun’s eyes widened.

To restore a life form consumed by Outer.

Seun had also helped the Snow Dragon to prevent consumption, but that was because the Snow Dragon was blocking her body well while confronting Outer.

Seun couldn’t do anything about a life form completely consumed by Outer, even with the power of destruction he possessed.

The authority of destruction.

This power meant destruction as the name suggested.

‘Is that also the power of time?’

Judging from the circumstances, she was probably an apostle of Chronos. To be precise, she would have been an apostle of Chronos.

And the identity of the god who disappeared from Olympus would also be Chronos.

Even if it was the domain he was in charge of, reversing time like this would have been too much for the God of Time.

He either lost all his power and entered a period of rest at the same time as regressing the apostle… or, in severe cases, he may have disappeared altogether.

“Can I see her once?”

It was natural for Seun to be interested.

Judging from the circumstances, the warrior the angel spoke of was one of only two regressors in the world, along with Seun.

Although he had told Yuseo-ah and Arcana the truth and received their support, he had not yet heard even her face or name.

The fact that there was another person who knew about the destroyed tower, which he had thought he was alone in, was a great strength.

However, with Seun’s question, the angel’s face darkened.

“That’s difficult.”

“If it’s because I don’t have enough qualifications, I’ll solve it quickly. You can give me a quest that matches the qualifications.”

Like Plaka, Shainen also had various growth factors.

Among them, the quest given by the Platinum Castle had the highest difficulty, and a corresponding reward was given.

Seun wasn’t interested in most rewards, but if he could raise his qualifications and meet the regressor, it was worth investing time in.

However, the angel still shook his head with a dark expression.

“It’s not about questioning the warrior’s qualifications. Even we couldn’t see that warrior again.”

“Why?”

“The warrior sealed it below and was sealed together with it. We wanted to help, but we couldn’t approach it in any way.”

“……Sealed?”

“My guess is that the power that reversed it must be maintained by the warrior. So she went in with it and sealed it.”

A regressor who was sealed directly with Outer to seal Outer.

Seun was able to understand why the first regressor had not appeared, even though Outer had appeared countless times while climbing the tower.

‘She didn’t know the situation outside.’

The reason could be easily guessed.

The regressor of Chronos.

She probably realized that the Outer of Shainen was the source of the Outer that would later destroy the tower.

If she could just stop the Outer of Shainen, she could stop the destruction of the tower. Wasn’t that what she thought?

While Seun was speculating, he passed through the outer castle gate and entered the inner castle, which could be said to be the center of the Platinum Castle.

“Since you said you would skip the meal, we came straight to the inner castle. It seems like you have a pretty urgent personality.”

“Yes.”

“Welcome again. This is the center of the Platinum Castle and the place where the most brilliant light in Shainen resides. And.”

The angel walked a little further forward.

The walls were full of murals engraved with platinum.

A beautiful kingdom where angels fly.

And the last part of the mural that caught Seun’s eye at once, no matter how the angels interpreted it.

Angels looking at a giant sphere falling from the sky.

That scene, which was probably presumed to be Outer.

The overall shape was different, but the meaning of the mural was not much different from the mural engraved in the basement of Skabe.

And the angel, who had approached the center of the inner castle, knelt on one knee, bowed his head deeply, and raised both arms.

“This is our God.”
