Death… And Me

Chapter 1532 - Evil Quest?

[Even the oldest humans and demon beasts of the Upside Down World have been in this place for as long as they could remember. Obviously, they're beings that were born and lived here all their lives. After so long, these beings have finally come up with a way of escaping the Upside Down World.]

[New Quest Available: Prevent the beings of the Upside Down World from escaping.]

[Point Reward: 150000 Destiny Points.]

[Title Reward: Dream Breakers.]

[Failure conditions: 1- The hosts leave the Upside Down World without completing the quest. 2- The hosts take more than six months to accomplish the objective.]

[Failure punishment: Time for full Nascent Soul revival multiplied by one hundred.]

The twins were taken aback after they read through everything. It had been a long time since the system released a new quest. In fact, the last one was back on the Zasfins' planet. However, what truly caught their attention was the objective of the quest. 'Why would the system want to prevent the people of the Upside Down World from coming out?'

The system's quests couldn't be said to be righteous. Instead, they were more like challenges the twins had to pass through. However, none of the past quests had an objective that could be said to be evil. That's why the twins were surprised by such a request. Everyone here had been locked for so long. Not to mention that Rean truly thought about using his method of teleportation to let them come out once the twins' own safe passage was guaranteed.

As Himatikia talked to them, the twins used their Soul Connection to talk about it.

'Now, that's quite complicated,' Rean said. 'To be honest, if the people and demon beasts here have found a way out, I would be happy for them. After all, there are good ones here who deserve going out.'

Roan already expected that from Rean, saying, 'If there was no punishment, I wouldn't really mind giving up this quest. However, do you know what it means to multiply the time it takes for our Nascent Souls to revive by one hundred? It'll already take a year and three months for it to revive, you know?'

Rean shook his head, saying, 'The punishment said that it will multiply the remaining time. Our Nascent Souls will take one year and three months to revive. However, six months in the future, that'll just be nine months. With that said, it's a hundred times nine months, not one year and three months.'

Roan's mouth twitched in response. 'So what if the time is shorter? You can't possibly be considering accepting the punishment, right? A. Hundred. Times. Nine. Months! That's seventy-five years! Both you and I are seventy-three at the moment, idiot! We haven't even lived this long on this side of the universe. At that point, it would be much better to simply cultivate back to the Peak Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm than wait for the revival.'

Of course, Rean knew that. 'Yes, but...' It's just that he couldn't think about stopping everyone from going out. Why should they crush these people and demon beasts' dreams?

With that, Roan decided to use the ultimate weapon. 'We have been apart from Qia and Calina for who knows how many years already, and now you want to increase that time even more? Which one is more important to you? Your woman or a bunch of unknown people? Remember, it's not like you're going to kill anyone. Their lives will simply continue as they've always known them to be. Put your priorities in the right place!'

Sure enough, those words hit Rean where it hurt. He struggled a bit inside but, in the end, couldn't deny Roan's words. 'Fine! We'll try to stop them. Happy now? Fuck this shit. I hope I can put my hand on Soul Gem in the future.'

Hearing that, Roan sighed in relief. 'It's good that you think like that. Don't worry. There's a good thing about it, and it isn't the extra Destiny Points or the title.'

'A good thing?' Rean's interest was piqued.

Roan then explained, 'The system had never put a quest that could be considered 'evil' for us to complete. At most, they could be considered neutral. That being said, do you think the system would really ask for such a thing if there wasn't a reason behind it?'

'This...' Rean had to admit Roan's words were right. 'If so, this mission has a lot more to it than the system described. Now that you say that, the system is giving 150000 Destiny Points as a reward. Whatever this quest is accomplishing, it has very great repercussions to the Upside Down World and probably the entire Pol Continent.'

Roan nodded in agreement. 'It was quite obvious before, but now even more so. There's a lot more to this Upside Down World than we can see. Anyways, we can continue this talk after Himatikia finishes her words. The system quest started as soon as she mentioned that guy called Levid. There's definitely a connection there.'

Himatikia, obviously, didn't know what the twins talked about. First of all, since it was a conversation between the two of them, just a split second passed in the real world. How could she notice anything? "Grand Elder seemed to have obtained some interest in you two after the report I submitted a few hours ago."

Although Himatikia couldn't share the twins' details with the other powers, she could still do it within her own purging organization. "However, I don't know why exactly he wants to see you."

The twins nodded, pretending to not mind it too much. "Sure, no problem. Should we be concerned about our own safety?"

Himatikia immediately shook her head, saying, "Absolutely not. You aren't the first geniuses to ever appear in this place, you know? If that was the case, this Upside Down World would've been in chaos. However, there's a good chance that you will be forced to join the purging organization to prevent other powers from asking for your help."

The twins were fine with that. "Well, this is one of the strongest powers even though they have no say in the Upside Down World's affairs. I guess it wouldn't be a bad thing to join your side."
