Chapter 324:
Chapter 324
The outdoor terrace lounge of the central building, overlooking the landscape of the Celestial Corporation.
Demiarios maintained a neat posture while glancing at his ‘boss’ sitting across from him.
No matter how much he was a director with only eight people in his department, the person in front of him was someone who could easily surpass him.
It was not simply a matter of different factions.
He was the one who helped and guided him to rise to this place.
“It’s been more than two weeks since Kang Yu-hyun teller went to the exile site.”
As if he had been waiting for him to say that, Demiarios opened his mouth.
“Yes. But even so, there is still no news, so I wonder if he also followed the same path as his predecessors.”
“I guess so. That place is not a place where you can survive easily. No. It’s not a matter of being easy. It’s a ‘terrible’ place that you can say ‘definitely’.”
“But, I’m curious. Why did Kang Yu-hyun deputy manager say that he would go there himself in front of the chairman?”
Demiarios still did not understand the attitude that Yu-hyun showed at the end.
He realized something deep while talking to Yu-hyun.
This man always had a smiling face on the outside, but inside he had a cunningness that even he could not be careless about.
Knowing that, he set traps, gathered evidence, and pushed his sins in front of the chairman.
But Kang Yu-hyun calmly assessed the situation without much surprise.
‘It’s an attitude that can’t be seen unless you know something.’
Demiarios was bothered by that.
He wondered if Yu-hyun knew something about the exile site.
“Director. Is there any chance that he knows something…”
“There’s no such thing. No, even if he knows something, what does it matter? Demiarios. Did you forget? What’s there is Georen.”
“I know. How can I not know when we are the ones who made that world like that.”
Demiarios stroked his smooth skin made of tentacles and muttered lowly.
“We corrupted that Divine Spirit and made the world like that and used it as an exile site to eliminate our enemies.”
The person sitting across from him laughed at the shocking truth.
“That’s right. And Georen is the executioner who cuts off the necks of those we sent to that exile site.”
The ‘director’ level teller shrugged his shoulders as if recalling the past 32 years ago.
“He was an interesting Divine Spirit. He had such a great power, but he said he wanted to make a successor who couldn’t live his whole life, let alone have one. Yeah. That’s why he ended up like this.”
“I don’t know much about what happened then, but what happened?”
Demiarios did not know even the most essential part of the truth of the exile site, although he was a teller who knew it.
He only joined later and checked the status of the exile site and devised ways to lead the world to despair.
In fact, from the insiders to the most core figures, it was not him but the existence in front of him.
“Are you curious? Well, now that you’re a director, it’s too harsh to not know anything.”
“I’ll listen carefully.”
“You must have heard and know this? Georen was a very powerful Divine Spirit, but he was very strange because his personality was different from others.”
“In what way was he strange?”
“He tried to raise a successor with his powerful power. Not just a follower who trusts and follows him, but a successor who can become another Divine Spirit. Yeah. That stupid guy wanted to have a child.”
“In fact, it means trying to force a new Divine Spirit to be created.”
A Divine Spirit creates a Divine Spirit.
Demiarios also knew how serious this matter was.
In fact, among most of the existing third-generation Divine Spirits, there were hardly any who were born naturally.
“Demiarios. As you know, pure-blooded Divine Spirits are only second-generation at best. The third generation is nothing but by-products that occurred indiscriminately afterwards.”
“Yes. That’s right.”
The third-generation Divine Spirits were mostly born under the influence of first- and second-generation Divine Spirits.
Demigods born from first- and second-generation Divine Spirits, or those who automatically rose to the rank of stars by receiving great stories and gifts from them.
It is common to say that third-generation Divine Spirits were ‘made’.
They hated that word to death, but it was an undeniable fact.
“The Great Army wanted to mass-produce third-generation Divine Spirits to increase their power. In fact, there was one place where they did it very actively.”
“Olympus…you mean.”
The director nodded his head.
This story was still well-known to everyone even after a long time had passed.
The number of third-generation Divine Spirits created by the ruler of Olympus in Great Army exceeded dozens of times that of other places.
The regulation of the system to prevent the indiscriminate birth of third-generation Divine Spirits came out because of that.
“Lower world, in the language of Earth, the vein we were aiming for, did they say ‘nuclear non-proliferation treaty’? It’s exactly like that.”
If there was a difference, it was that nuclear weapons were definitely threatening by themselves, but third-generation Divine Spirits had a huge variation in their levels.
The weak ones were really weak among the third generation, but the strong ones were strong enough to surpass the second generation.
Among them, there were very few beings who were close to the first generation.
“Olympus was so passionate about mass-producing third-generation Divine Spirits. Anyway. They saw the strongest result they wanted right away.”
“The ruler of strength and ordeal, you mean.”
The ruler of strength and ordeal.
Another name for him was the great hero Hercules.
He was a hero but close to a god, and his power itself was so great that it was not strange to call him a first-generation Divine Spirit.
Hercules was stronger than Ares, who was in charge of war and fighting in Olympus, so he was practically called the ultimate weapon of Olympus.
“There was no law that said that the second or third Hercules would not appear. And how many substandard third-generation Divine Spirits were born to get such a guy. The balance of the mixed world was broken too much.”
“So the Foundation banned it strictly through the system.”
“That’s right. There were beings who could match the first-generation Divine Spirits, who had a limited number, born from the hands of the first-generation Divine Spirits. It was an intolerable thing. So Divine Spirits could no longer make Divine Spirits as they pleased. They could conceive children, but they couldn’t give them power. They could raise disciples, but they couldn’t pass on their power.”
In that world, Georen wanted to create his own successor.
Georen was about to break the taboo.
“Of course, Georen was not entirely stupid. He knew that what he was trying to do was dangerous. He knew that he should not increase the number of Divine Spirits by force, but he could not give up his dream of creating a successor. So he made a deal through the foundation.”
“What kind of deal?”
“He agreed to transfer his power to his successor.”
“His power? But then…”
“Yes. He would die.”
A Divine Spirit who gave up his life and rights to create a successor.
He was not normal.
“You may not understand. But there are many things in the world that we cannot understand. Georen’s actions could be seen as generous, in a broad sense. After all, he was the only one who suffered the loss.”
“He was the only one who disappeared. The number of Divine Spirits did not increase according to the rules, so maybe his method worked.”
“Right. That’s why the system did not stop him.”
The director said that and smiled wickedly.
“The system, you see.”
“Director, you…”
“Yes. I helped him a little bit.”
“Why did you have to do that?”
“Because I had to. I thought that a being with such power could be used for our purposes. I approached him and offered to help him train his successor.”
A teller from the intermediary realm interfered with a being from the upper realm.
Demiarios knew the truth and heard it again, but he could not help but admire it.
“Wasn’t it dangerous?”
“It was dangerous.”
The interference of a being from the intermediary realm with a being from the upper realm.
The Genesis system did not prohibit it. Because it did not even consider ‘such a possibility’.
No matter how great a teller was, how could he manipulate a Divine Spirit as he pleased?
If the Divine Spirit agreed to cooperate with him, that would be understandable, but if the teller did such things behind the Divine Spirit’s back and got caught.
Then it was not just the system’s punishment that was the problem. “Most of them would anger the Divine Spirits. And not just any Divine Spirits, but the first-generation Divine Spirits of Great Sage Army who were proud of being Divine Spirits.”
“…That’s horrible.”
What would happen if the Divine Spirits found out that a teller deceived them? And actually made one of them into such a state?
Demiarios did not want to incur the wrath of Daesung Army’s Divine Spirits. It was not just limited to one Daesung Army.
If this matter became known, most of the Divine Spirits would rise up.
It would be easier to die by the system’s judgment.
“Yes. That’s why we keep it secret. You and me.”
“There is no chance… that we will be exposed?”
“We haven’t been exposed for 32 years, have we?”
Georen fell.
He left half of his power in advance, but his fate was sealed when ‘that thing’ was embedded in his heart.
Georen became a fallen Divine Spirit and a disaster and curse that killed all living beings on the planet he loved and cherished.
A huge blizzard cut off all sight around him, and his story froze and became useless as a narrative zone.
No one cared why Georen became like that.
They just thought that he failed to leave his power for his successor.
He did something that no one had ever done before, so they did not doubt whatever happened as a result.
No, they did not even care what happened to Georen.
It was then.
Demiarios received a message in front of him.
He excused himself for a moment and checked the message.
He showed a clear sign of agitation even with his octopus face.
“…Director. You have to see this.”
Demiarios said that and showed him the screen.
It was a war on a white snowfield.
***
“Maintain your positions!”
“Runestones! Take out the runestones you brought!”
The warriors of Gard were ambushed, but they only panicked for a moment.
They came here to fight. And they raised their weapons to end this hellish place.
The warriors could not tolerate being attacked any longer.
Their boiling blood would not allow it.
“Throw the runestones!”
“Don’t let your hands be idle!”
They each took out the runestones they had been assigned and threw them at the frost giants simultaneously.
The surface of the runestones burned hotly and then exploded in intense flames as they collided with the frost giants.
The frost giants that were hit by the runestones melted away with a white steam from the parts that were touched.
The runestones were originally something close to fuel that was used to ignite fire, but Gondulbor added a new formula to them. The thin and long burning runestones became bombs that could explode and release a large amount of heat in an instant.
“The special runestones are effective!”
“Don’t aim for the body! Aim for the neck! The melted body will regenerate!”
The frost giants whose heads had melted from the runestones fell to the ground, but those who were not affected regenerated their melted bodies.
The warriors did not miss the opportunity and cut off the necks of the fallen frost giants.
“Hah! Hah! How does it taste, you monsters!”
“We’ll kill the rest of you too!”
The Gardians shouted confidently, but their expressions were not so good.
The number of frost giants was more than the runestones they had brought, no matter how few they estimated.
They were still filling their sight and rushing at them.
“Don’t let your guard down!”
A hot flame spewed out and swept away the frost giants.
Gondulbor used all the rune magic he could while being escorted.
“Hold on until Lean defeats Georen!”
Three frost giants were running towards Gondulbor.
Even the mindless frost giants sensed instinctively that Gondulbor was a very important person.
At that moment, Yu-hyun, who was guarding Gondulbor, moved.
He took advantage of the frost giants’ attention being focused on Gondulbor and swiftly swung his sword.
The bodies of the frost giants who lost their heads in an instant rolled on the ground.
“Th-thank you!”
“You’re welcome!”
“I never thought I’d say this to someone who looks like my master!”
Gondulbor grumbled while drawing a new rune in the air.
Yu-hyun protected Gondulbor and dealt with the approaching frost giants one by one.
‘It’s hard.’
He was fighting by squeezing out his strength, and it was not an ordinary fatigue.
The number of frost giants was large. And each one of them was stronger than the Gardian warriors.
They were barely holding on by using the runestones, but even so, the casualties were increasing.
If they ran out of runestones, it would be irreversible.
So Lean had to somehow defeat Georen in the meantime…
“Le-Lean!”
Someone’s scream and Yu-hyun’s eyes unknowingly turned there.
And what he saw was Lean flying back after being hit by Georen’s fist.
“No!”
Was it as Kang Yu-hyun or as Kaira’s body?
Yu-hyun ran towards Lean without knowing it, leaving his position.
