Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 624

I Plundered the Evil God’s Treasury-Episode 624

Was the Evil God’s relic originally shaped like that?

Before the regression, Se-un, upon reaching the tenth shelter, was naturally greeted by angels and received their relic.

He had clearly seen the relic once before.

‘Why?’

For some reason, he couldn’t quite remember it.

He shouldn’t have forgotten such an important element as the Evil God’s relic, but the image of the relic he saw before the regression didn’t come to mind properly.

It wasn’t so much that he forgot… it felt unpleasantly like he had been forcibly made to forget.

Moreover, the appearance of the relic was also beyond Se-un’s understanding.

‘A cogwheel, of all things.’

What is a god?

In terms of the Earth Se-un came from, it was an object of religious faith.

In the Tower, it meant an absolute being with supernatural powers.

For such a being to adopt a cogwheel, which could be called a symbol of modern civilization, as a relic? It felt off.

But why? The cogwheel, firmly established as a relic, looked so natural.

“May I ask… the name of the god?”

To resolve this question, Se-un asked the angel first. However, he didn’t get a proper answer.

“Unfortunately, the name is unknown.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“It is believed that there was originally a name, but for some reason, the god’s name has been erased from the world.”

“Erased…”

“Exactly. In all religious texts, hymns, history, etc., the god’s name was concealed in all those places unnaturally.”

“Was there originally no name at all?”

“No. Research of the literature suggests that the name was clearly recognized in the past.”

Everything was full of things that were difficult to understand.

His head was swimming, but Se-un decided to focus on his original purpose.

“Is it possible to visit the place where the Hero is sealed?”

Judging from the circumstances, the Regressor seemed able to reverse the Outer, but didn’t seem to have the power to defeat it.

If Se-un went in, he might be able to release her seal.

It wasn’t just simple help.

Knowing the past and being a Hero who regressed with Chronos, she would be of great help to Se-un’s plan.

“It’s something we’ve been hoping for, but it’s not possible yet.”

“Isn’t that why you’re treating us as Heroes?”

“That’s true, but it’s too early.”

“Then when…”

“If it weren’t for the Heroes, Shaynen would have already been destroyed by it. We cannot recklessly open a place where such a dangerous evil sleeps.”

“Didn’t you say you were already trying to go inside?”

“That’s right. However, we were also trying to close the door as soon as we sent the soldiers in. We cannot force such sacrifices on the Heroes.”

“I’m fine.”

“We are not fine. A little more time. We plan to ask the Heroes when their strength is ripe and their number reaches at least a thousand.”

The number of Heroes is at least a thousand, meaning that they will open the door when more than a thousand players gather in Shaynen.

However, Se-un’s reaction was not good.

‘It won’t work.’

Even until just before Se-un’s regression, the number of players who arrived in Shaynen did not reach a thousand.

Currently, Diablo, Cheonghae, Valhalla, and even if you add Red Dragon… it won’t even be five hundred…

If he waited quietly for them to open the door, the Outer’s attack would begin before he could even enter.

But.

Clank.

Where on earth is that sound coming from since earlier?

Clank.

A subtly familiar yet foreign sound constantly lingered in Se-un’s ears.

Clank.

The Journey Guide rose on its own, even though Se-un didn’t use it.

The direction the Journey Guide pointed to was directly in front of Se-un.

The place where Shaynen’s relic is located.

Clank.

The golden cogwheel was rotating.

* * *

Clank.

A strangely familiar sound is heard.

Cogwheels.

Not beautifully balanced cogwheels like Shaynen’s relic.

They were worn, broken, and rusted cogwheels that didn’t even turn properly.

‘It’s even more of a mess than before.’

That’s what he thought.

But when he thought about it, it was a little strange. The scene before his eyes was not a scene that Se-un had seen before.

But why did he think that?

Besides…

“The Journey Guide…”

The Journey Guide was hanging in the center of the cogwheels.

It was different from the Journey Guide that Se-un used, but it was definitely a Journey Guide without a doubt.

Why on earth was it hanging in such an unfamiliar space?

– Long time no see.

– Starting analysis of the current situation.

– Period X_6

– Branch R_93.

An unknown voice was heard.

The mechanical voice was very dry, but it felt more warm and familiar to Se-un than anything else.

“Who… are you?”

For some reason, he felt déjà vu.

A question he felt like he had already asked once.

He didn’t seem to have heard an answer before, but it was different now.

– Nice to meet you.

– Player Jeong Se-un.

The cogwheels moved violently.

The cogwheels, shaking precariously as if they would break at any moment, gathered together and began to form something.

– Really…

– Thank you.

With that voice that felt somehow pitiful, Se-un’s vision darkened.

* * *

Thud.

A headache that was difficult to handle came in an instant.

Se-un, who had risen to the level of soul and would not be shaken by any ordinary blow, was kneeling down.

‘What was it?’

It was a memory that was impossible to handle.

He didn’t even know if this memory was correct.

Above all, along with this memory, something seemed to be wriggling from deep within his memory, breaking through a solid wall and rising up.

“Oh…”

In that situation, for some reason, he heard something like an exclamation right in front of him.

When he raised his head, as expected, an angel was exclaiming while looking back and forth between Se-un and the relic.

“Oh my, I can’t believe it! The relic is reacting! The cogwheel that has never moved even once is turning!”

Se-un’s thought that the cogwheel seemed to have turned was not a delusion. The angel also witnessed the scene clearly.

Apparently, it was the first time it had happened.

“I see. That’s right! The Hero is definitely the second messenger the god sent to save us!”

He seemed to be deeply mistaken about something, but Se-un didn’t bother to refute it. His misunderstanding was worth taking advantage of.

“Can I go in there now?”

“Of course! I will prepare a seat immediately!”

“Good.”

The angel’s attitude had completely changed.

Even though he called him a Hero, he was inwardly not completely trusting him, but now he was ready to listen to anything Se-un said.

As if the words ‘immediately’ were not in vain, the angels immediately rushed in to prepare for the ‘entrance’.

“Should I summon the Heroes who came with you? Oh, if you don’t mind, I recommend joining the Red Dragon as well. She has a very strong power, so she will definitely be a great help.”

Red Dragon, Kashalakas.

Her power is definitely strong.

However, her power didn’t seem to be of great help in hunting the Outer.

“No.”

He didn’t know what the place where the Outer was like, but it was clear that it was full of Outer [beings from beyond].

If he took other people there for no reason, things would become even more difficult.

It was best for Se-un to go in alone rather than worrying about other people being corrupted.

“I will go in alone.”

“If the Messenger of God says so, I understand. Come this way.”

Messenger of God.

It was a more embarrassing title than Hero.

Anyway, Se-un followed him down the stairs of the Platinum Castle.

From here on, it was a path that Se-un didn’t even know.

Unlike the Platinum Castle, which was full of brilliant light on all sides, the stairs were very dark with no lighting.

Following the guidance of the soldiers in preparation for any possible situation, the basement he arrived at was a space that could hardly be called a basement.

‘Clouds.’

When he thought about it, it was a natural thing.

Shaynen is a city built on clouds.

If it was the basement of that place, it would naturally be clouds.

However, as if proving that it was a basement, the clouds were not clean and bright colors like those seen above, but black.

Instead of being fluffy, it looked thick, as if it had rotted.

“This is the place.”

“Where is the entrance?”

“All of this place is the entrance and the wall. Only those who are allowed can enter.”

Se-un nodded.

He didn’t know he would be facing the Outer right away, but he had taken enough rest.

Even if he wasn’t properly prepared, Se-un wouldn’t have postponed this meeting.

Because what was below was not just the Outer. The same Regressor as himself, who he had thought was alone until now, was below.

“I will go in right away.”

Immediately after that, the angels’ hymn rang out.

The clouds trembled at the beautiful and magnificent voice, creating small waves.

As Se-un stepped into the center of the wave.

Woowoong-

“Ah, the door is really opening…”

A small pit was created in the center of the wave.

The pit gradually widened and deepened, and soon widened enough for one person to enter.

Se-un bowed to the angels who were looking at him with admiring eyes, and then immediately jumped into the hole.

“I will pray for blessings. Messenger of God.”

With the angel’s blessing, Se-un’s figure disappeared and the hole in the black cloud was filled in an instant.

* * *

The inside of the cloud was dark.

The top was full of light as if there were several suns rising, but here it was dark as if not a single ray of light came in.

After closing his eyes for a while and adjusting to the darkness, a completely empty space came into view.

‘The Outer is…’

Thanks to the treasure he used before, Se-un was able to secure visibility even in the dark. But here, that was meaningless.

It was as if something artificial had intervened and Se-un’s vision was blocked, so he could barely see the outline of the cloud.

In the meantime.

Saaa-

Something new was captured in Se-un’s eyes.

Sea.

For some reason, there was a vast sea inside the cloud.

It creates small waves even though there is not a single breeze, and repeats moving forward and backward.

The moment he clearly recognized its existence.

– The Saint is reacting to the Blood Wolf Legend’s tale.

– The Saint’s third ability, ‘Destruction’, is awakened.

Se-un quickly stepped back, unleashing the power of Destruction.

This was not just a sea.

The vast liquid that is visible now is everything.

‘Outer.’

It was Outer.

An unbelievable amount.

It was an amount that could not be compared to any Outer he had seen in the shelters he had passed through so far.

‘Did these guys attack Shaynen?’

At this rate, it was about the same amount that flowed in by breaking through the ceiling when the Outer first attacked the Tower before the regression.

It was understandable that the first Regressor thought of this Outer as the source of destruction.

‘Could this also be…’

The Outer, which came out like a wave and then returned again.

This phenomenon that made Se-un mistake the Outer for the sea was not happening because of physical phenomena such as wind.

Gurgle-

The Outer struggling to escape from the black cloud.

The time that is periodically rewinding to catch them.

The two wills are repeated, creating a wave-like phenomenon.

Se-un was momentarily taken aback, but soon calmed down.

Maintaining composure even in a situation where he was surrounded by Outer, he concentrated his mind.

And before long, he was able to find the existence Se-un was looking for through the Journey Guide.

‘That person is the first Regressor who really used Chronos’s hourglass [a device for time manipulation].’
