Chapter 776: The Last (9)

‘Still, 50,000 years is too much.’

“Then, we can finish the meeting with this, right? When will we meet again? First, it would be better to set up my office here! Oh! And I’ll contact Lauren and the others.”

“Yes. Please.”

“Let’s work hard, junior Lee Kiyoung! This is just the beginning, so be strong!”

I nodded, but the content of the meeting that just finished didn’t come into my mind.

‘Fuck, 50,000 years is too much.’

Finding the 50,000-years remark shocking, Dialugia, who was at a nearby seat, was sending a sour face. Of course, she wouldn’t want to end her life here.

The slightly pale complexion was very contrasting to Benignore’s, who was smiling without thinking.

Perhaps I also had a similar expression to Dialugia.

‘It won’t be that long.’

It could be shorter than Benignore calculated because we could earn more divinity than she expected. However, even assuming that, it was undeniable that it would take a lot of time.

I couldn’t easily calculate exactly how much time we needed, but considering that it consumed immense divinity in a single advent, her calculation didn’t even feel strange.

“I’ll be going then.”

“You had a hard time, Belial.”

‘How much is it exactly? How long can I shorten it? 10,000 years? No, if I cut it down as much as possible, I may be able to cut it down to several thousand years. If I’m lucky, it might only take hundreds of years.’

However, even that didn’t comfort me. I thought it might be better to call them over, but that also wasn’t easy.

It was by no means easy to gain divinity… I would feel embarrassed to say this, but I really wanted to return to the Blue Guild.

“Do I really have to wait?”

“If the plan is implemented quickly, it may be possible to go back in tens of thousands of years. However…”

“I can’t wait.”

“I feel the same, Dialugia.”

“Is there any other way?”

“I’m thinking about it.”

I thought I could see what the reward of the bet I made with Lucifer was.

‘To save Lee Kiyoung?’

Maybe it was this.

The reason I created a hiding space like this wasn’t to be rewarded by her. If I went back to the continent with Lucifer’s reward, she would inevitably have no choice but to intervene in the continent.

It would be right to think that the past Lee Kiyoung pictured resurrecting by himself.

His purpose would be to grant the three archangels a managerial position, completely make the continent independent from the outside, and earn his own divinity by taking over Belial and Benignore.

However…

‘Did you not expect it would take such a long time?’

I didn’t think he wouldn’t have expected it. He had to have known.

‘You didn’t think you could endure such a long time, did you?’

Absolutely not.

‘I mean, why on earth did you have to erase your memories?’

He shouldn’t let Lucifer discover what he’s planning, after all. Everything had to be done without her knowledge.

‘Then, what about now? Lucifer can’t see us here now anyway. If it’s really right for me to earn my own divinity and go down, there’s no reason for me not to remember anything. If the ending were to endure here for 50,000 years, there would be no excuse not to remembering anything until this moment. I’m not going to run into Lucifer anyway…’

Maybe there was something more to do. When I thought about it, it might be because, once again, I needed to contact Lucifer.

“Am I supposed to meet Lucifer?”

“What?”

“I have to meet Lucifer…”

If the reason why I still hadn’t been able to recover my memories was to deceive Lucifer, wasn’t the answer obvious? I had to talk to her.

It would be nice to talk about the contract and the reward.

I didn’t know how losing my memory would deceive her, but the answer lay with Lucifer.

The problem was that all of this was uncertain. There was a lack of physical evidence to be sure that my hypothesis was the correct answer.

No, it wasn’t just lacking. There wasn’t any evidence at all. I had nothing but my conviction.

It was a risky gamble. I wasn’t stupid enough not to bet on a game with a high winning probability, but I wasn’t sure if my current judgment was correct.

“You mean… Lucifer?”

“I think that’s where the first clue lies.”

‘Should I contact her right now?’

Did I have to go straight to the main point when there was nothing certain?

I didn’t have enough information. At least there might be something that could be used as a hint.

‘What am I missing? I mean, just checking what I missed right now doesn’t mean I can solve something.’

The reason I made this space would be to get ready. It would have been made to get ready to return to the continent and manage it without being seen by anyone.

If one asked if everything was ready at this point, I would, of course, answer no.

At that moment, I had just taken Belial and Benignore, and nothing had been achieved with my own hands yet. Meeting Lucifer would be after I had built up my own satisfactory foundation.

I wouldn’t wait 50,000 years, but I might need a little more time.

‘I need help.’

Jihye.

What was Lee Jihye doing? If she heard the news, wouldn’t she have to show up?

I kept looking around with the telescope, but she wasn’t visible. I kept looking for her, but she hid so well that I couldn’t even see a clue.

As she would have left with Sun Hee-young, it would be quicker to search for her.

‘She was clearly visible until a few days ago. Fuck.’

“Where the hell have you gone?”

It didn’t make sense for a human to be able to avoid the telescope of a goddess.

I tried to find a way to get in touch through Ronove, but I couldn’t even find a trace of her.

I wondered if Belial would know her location, but I had no choice but to shake my head.

Ronove was no longer a member of the 27th Corps. I didn’t have any guarantee that she didn’t go to Lucifer’s side.

‘I need a conversation window.’

The Regressor Instruction Manual was maintained, and I could send a message to Kim Hyunsung, but that was all. I needed a more direct contact method.

There was also a way to send an oracle through Benignore, but I had to worry about the eyes from above. I looked down and saw the Blue Guild members still gathered and talking. Elena, who was in a distant place, had also returned to the Blue Guild, and I could see her speaking while wiping her tears.

There were more people than before. Hyunsung, Park Deokgu, and Cho Hyejin. Ahn Ki-mo, Hwang Jeong-yeon, and Kim Ye-ri. Our Hayan, and Han Sora. Park Lian. Alps. Kim Chang-ryul. Yoo Ahyoung. Manager Kim Mi-young.

Except for Sun Hee-young, who followed Lee Jihye, all guild members were gathered, and they were all pitching into the conversation.

I couldn’t help but smile. It was a good view, so it was worth it.

It seemed that the contents of the meeting had already been carried out quite a bit and were being sorted out.

-To sum up, the Vice Guild Master has become the god in charge of the continent.

-Yes.

-And we have to find a way to bring him back.

-In short, yes.

-Thinking that hyung-nim is really watching us, I feel a little energized. He may be looking at us right now.

-Does he really want to come back?

Of course.

-He does. I know that for certain.

I could hear Jung Hayan and Han Sora whispering.

-I’ll only tell Sora this. If oppa doesn’t come down, I-I will go up. You’ll come with me, right?

-Ah… Yes, Jung Hayan. Of course, I have to go with you. If possible…

-I-I think it will take a little time. It will take a little more time if I take you too. It’s hard, but I can stand it. Of course, if o-oppa comes down first, we don’t need to go… still, as a precaution, let’s get ready to go up, Sora, okay?

I had never sent a message asking her to come up, but I thought she got the hint. She noticed that divinity was accumulating in her.

Han Sora nodded, but she looked a little pale. It might be because the expression to go up here was heard as saying to die together.

-Ah… Yes. Still, wouldn’t it be easier for us to bring the Vice Guild Master back than to go up?

-Uh… yes. That’s better. It’s just a backup plan. I just want you to be p-p-prepared psychologically…

-…

Looking at that situation, I had to smile once again. It seemed that a little bit of anxiety that I had disappeared.

Elena and Cho Hyejin were also talking. From the point of view of Elena, who was originally a priest, she might be wondering if it was correct to bring the god that had risen and if I really wanted to come down.

-If Lee Kiyoung doesn’t want to come down… If he wants to be with Elune…

-…

I thought about it again, but after all, I wanted to go down. I would find a chance later and send another message to Hyunsung.

It seemed like they were talking a lot, but they didn’t come up with other ideas easily.

Even I couldn’t figure it out, so it had to be harder for them. It seemed difficult to expect them to find a way.

-We don’t need to be discussing useless things. Didn’t I say that he must be waiting? We just have to find a way.

-I agree with Deokgu.

-Me too.

Three siblings Park, Gi, Lee.

-I’ve never heard of anyone bringing a God down again. I remember several books, but I can’t think of anything similar. It would be better to read the books in the Benignore Church once again.

Perhaps Hwang Jeong-yeon’s memory would help.

-I’ll see if there’s anything I can do to help.

In fact, I didn’t think Yoo Ahyoung and Kim Chang-ryul would be helpful. That aside, why were those two so close?

The downside, too, was that it would be difficult to reach a conclusion in the short term. Looking at them constantly now didn’t help me either, so it was better to focus a little more on my work.

The moment I was about to turn my head, I heard Kim Hyunsung’s voice.

-First…

-Yes?

-I think we should build a temple first.

-…

-If we make a statue, we may be able to communicate with Kiyoung.

Oh.

-That’s a good idea. Leave the temple to us. We’re the ones that made the forward base.

-We, uncle Ki-mo, uncle Deokgu, and I had made a base once. We’ll be helpful in that aspect.

Wouldn’t it be better to leave it to an expert, though?

-S-Sora can make the s-statue.

That one was an expert. I had to admit that much.

-Let’s see if we can get permission. The budget is…

Manager Kim Mi-young was quick to act.

-You don’t have to worry about the budget. You may mobilize all of the guild’s funds. If we don’t have enough funds, I’ll find a way.

-…

-I have connections. They are people we can trust.

Was it Garrosh & Cash or Love America? After all, he couldn’t deal with money. Fuck.

It seemed that looking at them made my mood lighten up.

‘Right. One by one, step by step, fuck. I don’t have to step forward and get nervous.’

Down below, they were doing what they could for the situation at hand.

“They’ll build a temple, Dialugia.”
