Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 675

Squeak-

The Fallen King’s body, pierced through the head, collapses.

I converted all the remaining divinity into the power of destruction, completely incinerating the Fallen King.

Seun, having thoroughly burned him so that not even a shred of flesh or dust remained, knelt on one knee on the floor, gripping the sword that had pierced through the Fallen King and into the ground.

“It’s really… over.”

All the strength drains from my body.

Is it because the authority of Sloth has run its course?

No.

Thanks to ascending to Godhood and the increase in divinity, even if the authority of Sloth ends, I won’t revert to the same extreme aftereffects as before.

Moreover, this time I didn’t even use much strength while using the authority of Sloth.

It’s just, what should I say.

“Really…”

It didn’t feel real.

It would have been the same even for the original Seun, but now I have all the memories of the numerous regressions I’ve gone through.

The thought that all that effort has finally come to an end didn’t easily sink in.

I even felt a slight sense of emptiness.

…Clank.

While Seun briefly lowered his head to collect his emotions, he saw a gear turning laboriously beyond the vanished Fallen King.

When I first came in, I only thought about stopping the Fallen King, so I couldn’t look around, but somehow it felt familiar.

As soon as Seun thought that, the interior brightened.

And Seun quickly realized why this space felt familiar.

“…Machina.”

A space located in the basement of the tower that no one knows about.

This place, which manages the tower and is in charge of the ‘system’ that even affects the Divine Realm, was the room Seun was transported to when he touched the gear.

In other words, it was the room of the constellation Seun had followed before his regression.

…Clank.

The state of the room was even more serious than Seun had seen before.

Many devices that made up the wall were all stopped.

The only thing moving was one thing.

Only the gear placed in the center of the room.

“Machina.”

Seun called her name again and stood in front of the gear.

No answer was heard, but Seun still stood there.

Then, he reached out and stroked the gear.

– …Player Jeong Seun.

Only then did her faint afterimage float above the gear.

Deus ex Machina [literally, “God from the machine,” often used to describe a plot device where a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely occurrence].

Before the regression, Seun’s constellation and the one who manages the tower’s system… No, the one who can be said to be the system itself.

The Journey Guide, which Seun thought was a unique skill, was also a kind of authority created by Machina.

“You’ve worked hard.”

Seun’s regressions so far.

Seun wasn’t the only one who suffered there.

Each time he went through a regression, she lost her strength, and her very existence disappeared.

The proof of that is this room.

This room, which I first saw in the returned memories, was full of beautiful gears and the sound of them working.

– You have really, really worked hard.

Even so, Machina worried about Seun.

Even though she couldn’t even maintain her body properly and only a faint afterimage remained.

“I succeeded. Machina.”

Seun hated God.

He was manipulated by Pan, suffered from the gods’ entertainment, and became unable to believe in gods.

However, this was closer to a side effect caused by the erasure of her memories.

Seun realized through her.

Not all gods are bad.

Just like there are good and bad people among people, the same is true of gods.

It’s not the difference between good and evil gods, but just that each god has a different personality.

– Thank you, really, really…

When she first heard her plan, Seun, who had just entered the tower, had no choice but to be embarrassed.

From the beginning, this tower was created to trap and block the Outer Gods, and to bring people in to cultivate talents to defeat them.

Who would easily accept this?

Seun didn’t easily accept it at first either.

He just climbed the tower as if it were someone else’s business… The Outer Gods’ attack began.

– You went through all those hardships because of me and reached this point…

After that, of course, Seun reversed time as her apostle and climbed the tower again.

She told Seun the way forward through the Journey Guide and prevented the time axis from being fixed, constantly returning Seun to the past axis.

The problem is.

‘Fallen King.’

Just before Seun activated the Sands of Chronos in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, the Fallen King finally came to her room.

He failed to steal the system, but he went out of sync with Seun along the time axis and followed Seun wherever he regressed.

Anyway, there were so many things I wanted to say…

“I kept my promise.”

– Yes, you kept your promise. Thank you so much.

After defeating the Outer Gods and protecting the tower.

She promised Seun that she would grant him anything.

– But, I’m sorry. I don’t have enough strength… I don’t think I can perfectly fulfill my promise. But even if I have to squeeze out the remaining strength…

“No, you have to keep it no matter what.”

Promise.

I’ve been thinking about it since the moment I regained my memory.

What should I ask her for?

To send me back to Earth?

Or to make me the best god?

Or, give me the authority of the tower’s system?

No.

Those are not what Seun wants.

Seun, having decided on a request, placed his hands on her shoulders with a firm look.

“Don’t die.”

– …Huh?

To be honest, it would be a lie to say it’s not awkward.

All the memories of her have returned, but now there are more memories of the days I haven’t spent with her than the days I have, and they are clearer.

But, even so.

“If you disappear, my pasts will become illusions and disappear.”

Seun needed her.

The first regression, where he tried to keep his promise with her by climbing the tower with only a sword.

The second regression, where he gathered companions, thinking it would be difficult alone, and held a shield to protect them.

The tenth regression, where he grabbed a bow and avoided damage from behind, afraid of being hurt anymore, and climbed the tower.

All failed memories exist only in Seun’s head.

If she disappears, this memory will only become Seun’s illusion.

If there is no one to remember, it is just an illusion.

“Don’t die. That’s the price I want for the promise.”

A request that seems so simple.

But it was by no means an easy request for her.

No, it was a more difficult request to fulfill than anything else.

– …As you can see, I’m already fading away.

– I don’t have much time left.

– If it’s another request, I’ll do my best to grant it.

Seun’s regressions, which may have exceeded dozens or even hundreds of times, were all possible because of her power.

In other words, the more Seun went through regressions, the weaker her power became.

To be honest, it’s amazing that she can still maintain her existence after using so much power as a constellation.

Even Zeus or Odin would not have been able to withstand this power.

– I’ll erase the memories of me again.

– Rest comfortably, achieving what you want, as much as you’ve suffered so far.

As a result.

Her power had already reached its limit.

If Seun had failed to defeat the Fallen King this time, her existence would have disappeared and the tower’s system would have collapsed even before the Fallen King attacked.

– So… please tell me another request.

“No.”

Seun shook his head.

Another request?

There is no such thing.

He can create the future himself.

Seun only needs someone to remember the past he has gone through.

“Live.”

The main player who stopped the Fallen King’s attack.

Externally, Seun was active, but without her, the plan would not have been possible from the start.

I had no intention of letting her go like this.

“You must live.”

Seun poured divinity into the gear.

Even if you pour in someone else’s divinity, it is difficult for Machina’s divinity, which has already been worn out, to return.

At best, it will only extend her lifespan a little.

However, Seun’s case was a little different.

“Do you know that?”

Seun was originally her apostle.

Now, after going through numerous regressions, he has gained a completely different power from her, but the divinity Seun has originally started with her divinity.

“When I climbed the 100th floor and went to my star. There was a building that stood out even on a star as ruined as your room.”

He squeezes out the divinity that had been dried up by the battle with the Fallen King and pushes it into the gear.

The more he did, the darker her translucent figure became.

– No. If you pour in so much power, Player Jeong Seun will be in danger. I’m already going to fade away anyway. No more…

She tried to stop Seun, but she, who was barely maintaining her afterimage, didn’t even have the strength to stop Seun.

Seun continued to pour divinity into her and continued to speak.

“I didn’t know what it was at the time, but when I think about it now…”

Woong-

The stigma is gradually getting hotter.

It seems that the stigma is being burdened because he is forcibly pulling up the power he doesn’t have.

“It seems like it was your place.”

– Stop it, please… At this rate, all the divinity you have accumulated so far will disappear.

“Divinity.”

The stigma is as hot as if it were being branded with an iron.

Even so, Seun pulled up more divinity.

“I can build it again.”

What if I can’t return to the Divine Realm because I used up all my divinity?

I can just climb the tower again.

Losing her here is the same as losing the past.

Future, present, and past.

Seun had no intention of losing anything.

“Ruin.”

– My master.

“Wait a little longer.”

– As much as you want.

There was no hesitation in Ruin’s answer.

The well itself began to collapse because he dug and dug the dried-up well.

– Why… I know the memories have returned, but they must be too distant memories…

In response to Machina’s muttering, Seun spat out the last answer and poured all the remaining divinity into her, even bursting the stigma.

“Because you are my past.”

Clank-

The room made of gears began to move.

* * *

Creak-

The first resting place.

The door to the basement, hidden there, opens.

Of course, it was Seun who revealed himself from within.

His whole body was full of wounds, and only black soot remained where the stigma had been.

Divinity is the power itself that the soul has.

It’s amazing that he can even walk after losing all his divinity, but Seun was even supporting a woman.

Deus ex Machina.

The constellation that manages the tower’s system.

In reality, she is the owner of the management office and the goddess who governs the tower and the causality of this world.

“Ah…”

The warm spring breeze unique to the first resting place blows.

When I came outside, I really felt that everything was over, and all the strength drained from my body.

The moment my knees gave way and I was about to fall to the floor.

“Seun.”

Someone grabbed Seun’s shoulder.

Yoo Seo-ah.

She had been on Seun’s side since the tutorial.

Tsk.

“I won’t be able to spar for a while.”

Kang Han-cheol lifted Machina instead of Seun.

He was originally a reliable person, but his broad shoulders seemed even more reliable today.

“You’ve worked hard.”

Suffering.

I had already heard those words from Machina several times, but the feeling was new.

Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah.

They were like Seun’s reality.

If they hadn’t been there, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat the Outer Gods, and even if he had defeated them, it wouldn’t have felt so real.

Maybe he would have collapsed in that room with Machina and met his end.

“The Outer Gods…”

“Everything has been taken care of. Ah, the Divine Realm…”

“Of course, everything has been taken care of.”

A purple star falls from the sky.

The Demon God of Greed, Mammon.

She had always felt infinitely noble, but today her eyes felt warmer than anyone else’s.

– The constellation, ‘The Fourth Day,’ thanks you.

– The constellation, ‘Goddess of Luck,’ is sobbing.

– The constellation, ‘Lord of Wrath,’ laughs heartily.

Following her, messages from the constellations appear.

Now that I have seen their faces directly, the messages feel more familiar.

Even if I only look at the messages, I can see their figures.

“You have worked hard. Player Jeong Seun.”

The manager, Tuning, who had been with Seun since the tutorial and had been watching over him.

When he opened the system message wide and opened the door, those who had built relationships with Seun one by one revealed themselves from within.

“You have worked hard. Master.”

“Ehehehe! I knew it!”

“Are you okay? What’s wrong with the wound… I’ll treat you quickly.”

Diablo Guild.

Valhalla Guild.

Cheonghae Guild.

Besides them, those who had been with Seun and believed in and followed Seun.

They were the ones who would become Seun’s ‘future.’

“Seun, what are you going to do now?”

There are many things that come to mind.

The first thing that comes to mind is decorating Diablo’s galaxy around Seun’s star like Olympus or Asgard [mythological homes of the Greek and Norse gods, respectively].

Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah, as well as Hamel and Kashallarkas, will probably come over, and as time passes, other Diablo guild members will come up.

Or, it wouldn’t be bad to compete with other gods in the Divine Realm, like Kashallarkas, who shouted for the strongest.

Many thoughts came to mind, but first of all…

“Let’s go.”

“Yes!”

I wanted to spend time with everyone.

With everyone I will never lose again.
