– Sniff sniff. I’ve never smelled something like this before.
A great thief of ancient times…
The Sound of the Wind could not hide her feeling of anticipation as she commented in her husky voice.
She was extremely excited.
– Sniff sniff. Even the divine item of the Sun God did not give off such a scent. It’s at a historic level.
‘Hooo.’
What kind of divine item was it that the Sound of the Wind was reacting like this?
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”
The Heavenly Demon and Alberu followed behind Cale, dressed as regular priests.
Of course, they only chose stealthy routes to walk.
“Huh?”
Cale suddenly stopped walking.
A divine item.
The item he needed for the Blue Wolf, the god of the Beast people…
The one who protected Cale’s group from the God of Chaos, the one Cale thought was the most god-like of all the gods he had met until now…
Lock was currently waiting for Cale and the divine item back in Aipotu.
That was why Cale was planning on procuring a divine item.
A pretty good one.
A useful one.
He wanted a divine item like that.
And this place was the perfect place to find a divine item like that.
“…Are we really going there?”
The Sound of the Wind answered Cale’s question.
– Sniff sniff! Yes, over there! Sniff sniff!
Her voice was full of confidence.
Cale asked in disbelief.
“…But that’s the Night of the Beginning?”
The Night of the Beginning, the Holy Land that was the center of this city and basically the reason for its existence…
The Sound of the Wind was pointing toward it.
– I smell something amazing coming from there! The greatest divine item in all history is over there!
This was a place that was difficult to approach as it was still full of guards since the ritual had yet to start.
It was a place difficult for Cale’s people to easily approach.
Cale could go into the Holy Land if he revealed himself and just barged in by force, but…
“Ho-”
‘There’s a divine item over there?
Mm.’
He got chills for some reason.
But for some odd reason, his heart was beating wildly as well.
The Sound of the Wind commented again.
– We can properly loot them!
‘That does seem to be the case.’
Even though he had no idea what it was, if it is a divine item inside there-
Twitch twitch.
The corners of Cale’s lips started to rise.
And as the Heavenly Demon looked extremely entertained and Alberu held back a sigh…
Swoooooooosh-
Cale moved to the back of the building.
He then shot up to the roof of the building with the wind swirling around his ankles.
After avoiding the gazes of the guards and arriving at the roof, Cale looked toward the Holy Land.
He could see very well because the building he was on was on a higher terrain.
The Night of the Beginning.
It was a small basin.
It looked like a naturally created stadium.
The stadium area was the center of the basin that was like a pit. Inside the pit was a flat area with green grass.
Yes. Life existed at that place.
And the hill surrounding that grassy field…
There were chairs and all sorts of items.
That would be where the believers watch the sacrifices fight to the death as they enjoy pleasure and worship the God of Chaos.
– Sniff sniff!
In that field, the only place here that showed any sign of life…
There was a small lake at the center of that pit.
< You have discovered the Flipped Night. >
The Quest informed him about this location.
The Flipped Night.
The center of the Night of the Beginning.
– Over there!
The Sound of the Wind informed him.
There was an altar at the center of the small lake.
The Saint would stand near that altar, conducting the ritual over the sacrifices, leading to the sacrifices fighting to kill each other.
On top of that altar…
“…There’s nothing there?”
There was nothing on top of the altar.
– Underneath!
But the Sound of the Wind found the answer.
– Under the altar.
The altar was floating on top of the lake.
It looked quite magical.
– I smell it at the bottom of the lake.
But she was saying that the divine item was at the bottom of the lake.
– It is a divine item with quite a lot of power.
Her low voice was full of excitement.
– Let’s steal it.
Cale slightly licked his lips after hearing the Sound of the Wind.
The Blue Wolf.
The only decent god Cale had met until now…
Someone on his side…
‘If I’m going to find him a divine item-’
Cale had a feeling.
‘The rituals that had happened until now…’
Furthermore, the advent of the God of Chaos.
If that place was built for that…
What would have happened to all of the power they had gathered through the ritual to complete this place?
‘The divine item.
It must all be gathered in the divine item under the lake.’
The empty altar was just a disguise.
‘Let’s steal it.’
As Cale made up his mind…
– Umm, Cale-
He heard an odd voice.
– Hehe, he!
This person was doing everything he could to suppress his laughter as he spoke.
– Cale~
It was the Fire of Destruction.
‘Hmm?’
Cale realized something once he heard that voice.
‘That altar-’
– Cale, I’ve never seen such a precious magic stone like that in my life. It is behind the highest-grade, no, even beyond the Special-Grade.
That altar seemed to be made of magic stones.
– My goodness, all of the diamonds dangling on it are the highest grade of diamonds I have seen in my life. That altar is made of things much more expensive than gold… It looks really… Really expensive……
The cheapskate.
The guy who was saying that he wanted to get stronger.
The bastard who had said he wanted to use money at the Divine-Grade level…
That bastard was quietly whispering to Cale.
– Cale. How much do you think all of that is worth?
Cale closed his eyes for a moment.
– Of course, that altar is not enough to reach the Divine-Grade.
The cheapskate’s level of spending a ‘divine-grade amount of money.’ That level was quite hard to meet.
“…….”
Cale stood silently as he fell deep into thought.
‘I have no plans on fighting against Ryun, but…’
‘Yeah. I only plan on watching the Church of the God of Chaos fight against the wanderers and run away after destroying the Holy Land. I have no intentions of fighting against the wanderers.
But I should steal it when I have a chance, right?
Yeah.’
Cale made up his mind.
As the Heavenly Demon and Alberu waited for Cale…
Cale opened his eyes again and spoke out loud.
“Let’s steal everything.”
‘Yeah. Let’s loot it all.
And then we’ll run!’
– Hahahaha!
The Sound of the Wind laughed out loud.
– Kahahahaha!
The cheapskate sounded happy.
Cale asked with a smile on his face.
“We have about fifteen minutes left. Are there any safes around here to loot?”
Alberu smirked while the Heavenly Demon scoffed in disbelief.
“I knew it would be like this.”
Alberu sounded extremely calm.
* * *
And at the same time…
“Are the preparations for the ritual going well?”
The Saint of the God of Chaos asked while looking out the window.
“Yes sir.”
He heard the lighthearted answer and turned to look at the bishop in charge of this place.
Grey eyes.
The bishop noticed the Saint’s eyes getting greyer and quickly lowered his head.
“This is the last time.”
Despite his lighthearted voice, he sounded full of anticipation.
“The God of Chaos can finally come if we finish this last ritual.”
He spoke calmly.
“The base for the God of Chaos to advent will appear if we offer up all the sacrifices.”
“Yes sir.”
They will finally see the results of all of their hard work.
“I’m sure you told all of the believers to gather?”
“Yes sir.”
They had called for all of the believers residing in this city to come.
“And the Night of pleasure?”
“It is all ready, sir.”
“We need to make sure that the believers can enjoy pleasure and chaos greater than ever before.”
The bishop lowered his head even more and showed his desire to make that happen.
The Saint continued in a calm voice.
“The moment the believers who have experienced 44 nights of pleasure offer up their lives… That is when the God of Chaos will advent to this place.”
“Yes sir.”
They had finished this ritual 43 times until now.
It had not been easy.
It had been quite difficult avoiding the eyes of the wanderers and the Demon World.
“The believers will happily offer their lives up to the God of Chaos.”
A gentle smile appeared on the Saint’s face.
“I’m sure they will.”
The bishop also smiled gently.
The Saint and bishop were peacefully chatting in this relaxed atmosphere.
“Saint-nim. The Pope-nim will soon come over to this world.”
“Yes. I know. The Pope-nim said that he would drag his struggling body to this place to see the world where the God of Chaos has advented down to us.”
The Saint headed toward the window.
“…….”
“…….”
After a moment of silence, the Saint opened his mouth again.
“The omnipotent god. Even he will only be a speck of dust in front of our God of Chaos.”
The Bishop raised his hands and pointed to the sky.
“The moment chaos descends…the return to the beginning… I’ve been waiting for that day this whole time.”
The Saint smiled at the bishop’s comment.
The bishop smiled back at him and got up.
“Saint-nim, it is time to go.”
The Saint moved away from the window and slowly headed toward the door.
The Night of the Beginning.
The Saint had to go do the final ritual at that place.
The sky outside the window was still grey, but…
It was already night up in the world where the dark blue was gone and the sky was fully the color of night.
* * *
And-
“Ryun.”
Cho stood in front of the walls and called out to his sister.
“…….”
Ryun waved her hand instead of answering.
Craaaaaaack!
The wall froze.
“Who goes there?!”
“Intru-”
Two guards froze without being able to finish their sentences.
Wave.
Once she waved her hand again…
Bang!
The ice shattered.
Both the wall and the guards all shattered away.
Ryun peeked up at the grey sky and started to walk.
“Ryun, we are destroying everything, right?”
Ryun calmly commented to Cho’s excited voice.
“Efficiently. All of it.”
She looked toward the temple complex with the Night of the Beginning.
“Destroy everything.”
They would efficiently destroy everything and move forward.
The Holy Land of the God of Chaos would disappear today.
Before the Third Emperor of the wanderers arrived.
That was the conclusion that Cho and Ryun had arrived at.
* * *
At the same time, the people gathered around the Root of Beginning that connected the Cliff of Death…
As the sky above them already turned to night…
“…….”
The Crazed Attention Seeker, who had been recording, the man who had never stuttered despite any bizarre situations he had faced, was standing there with his jaw dropped.
He then barely managed to get the words out.
“…The Holy Maiden……! …And the greatest of the Holy Knights……!”
The Holy Maiden of the Sun God and Sir Boltien.
He had never seen the two of them up close like this before.
This was especially true about the Holy Maiden, who people were not able to see other than during large events held by the church.
Two people like that suddenly appeared near the Devil’s Boundary’s Root of Beginning.
“Damn.”
The Crazed Attention Seeker slowly turned his gaze.
The two power figures of the Sun God.
He could see someone talking to the two of them.
“I don’t know who it is, but he looks strong……!”
Choi Han with his black hair and black eyes.
This attention seeker didn’t know Choi Han’s identity, but he could tell that this person looked like a profound NPC with a deep story.
There was a clear reason he felt certain about this.
The one giving off the strongest sense of existence…
The existence that made the Crazed Attention Seeker forget about the Holy Maiden and the Holy Knight and stand there at a loss of words!
Flutter flutter.
“Dragon……!”
The most difficult creature to see in New World…
There were less than 10 sightings of Dragons in this world until now.
To see a Dragon like that here!
Furthermore-!
“A cute… Baby… Dragon……!”
It was cute baby Dragon Raon.
“Gasp.”
The Crazed Attention Seeker was at a loss for words.
His fellow user was standing there with a blank stare on her face.
The three groups were standing in a triangle right now.
Holy Knight Sir Boltien started talking toward Choi Han.
“…I almost didn’t recognize you because your hair color is different. But to see you again like this over here…”
Sir Boltien’s gaze sank deeply while looking at Choi Han.
Cale and Choi Han.
The two of them were the mysterious individuals who made Sir Boltien become wary of the God of Chaos.
“Why are you blocking us?”
Raon shouted instead of Choi Han.
There was a reason he had stopped being invisible and appeared.
“Our human said no variables are to be allowed! He told me to protect well and that unnecessary sacrifices are not okay! Our human told me not to let other people in! I would like it if you would wait a little bit!”
Raon had stopped the Holy Knight and the Holy Maiden from infiltrating the Cliff of Death.
It was the same for Choi Han.
“…The cute Dragon…is…talking cutely……! Crush the apartment! Crush the earth! Crush the Devil’s Boundary! Crush all of New World!”
The Crazed Attention Seeker Soo quietly mumbled.
As that suffocating standoff continued…
Booboboboooooooooom–!
The ground started to shake.
“!”
“……!”
Everybody turned toward the ‘Root of Beginning,’ the bridge connecting the Devil’s Boundary.
The tree’s roots were being pulled back and the bridge was going away.
* * *
– Cale. All of the sacrifices have gathered.
Cale was hidden among the believers while listening to Eruhaben’s voice.
The center area of the Night of the Beginning…
The 500 or so sacrifices were kneeling in the only place with green grass.
Step, step.
The Saint was slowly entering into the basin-shaped Holy Land, the Night of the Beginning.
– It’s soon.
Cale gave a short nod at Eruhaben’s comment.
