Chapter 317: 317

Surya approached and stood in front of me . He was at least 20cm taller than me . I opened up more of my status to counteract the pressure he was emitting . The office was suddenly flooded with Surya’s energy .

The conversation from now on was between constellation and constellation . “The ruin of Olympus . . . is that your meaning or Vedas’ meaning?”

[Is it important?]

“It is important . “

I expected the troubles between big nebulae to be in full swing by now . They pursued cooperation with me in order to ruin each other but originally, Vedas, Olympus and Papyrus weren’t solid alliances . All big nebulae were in a potentially competitive position when pursuing ‘A Single Story . ‘

Surya thought for a moment before replying . [I don’t like Olympus and Vedas . Is this enough for an answer?]

It was a vague answer . Yet in a sense, it was the answer I wanted . Based on the original Ways of Survival, Surya was definitely a heretical constellation of Vedas . “It is an answer . “

[I have enough authority to give one Soma . Don’t you know who I am?]

Surya was the source of Soma, an immortal beverage . If I got his promise then obtaining Soma definitely wouldn’t be a problem . By the way, this . . . things had become interesting .

Metatron’s finger moved like it was pleasant to hear our conversation . I watched the finger moving like a metronome and spoke, “I still have one question left . The ruin of Olympus is precisely―”

[The 60th scenario, Gigantomachia . ]

“That is just a theme park event . They will summon a few giants to hunt and . . .

[If they aren’t serious, you would make them serious . ]

. . . Since when had he been listening to me? Did he subscribe to Biyoo’s channel?

[Olympus won’t suddenly be destroyed because of the scenario . However, it is possible to provide a stepping stone to the ruin . ]

“How?”

[Haven’t you already thought about how to do this?]

The third eye on Surya’s forehead was white . I gazed at his eyes . Indeed, I couldn’t step back and pretend ignorance .

“It is absurd with my power or the power of my nebula . Of course, this didn’t mean I had no way . “

Metatron’s finger stopped moving at my words . I watched Metatron . “Scribe . Take responsibility for calling this person here . “

[What responsibility do you mean?]

“Be a witness for this agreement . “

Metatron made an intrigued expression . His wait and see expression was transformed into a schemer .

[What are the benefits of being a witness?]

“I will give you a stake in the giant story I will obtain this time . “

A stake in a giant story . No matter the scenario, the giant story was a temptation that couldn’t be ignored by a nebula . In addition, the archangels of Eden needed an enormous number of giant stories because incidents occurred every day and they needed to diffuse the probability storm .

Metatron nodded with satisfaction .

“Naturally, your mouth can’t be empty . “

[What do you mean? It is enough to stand witness . . . ]

“You want to take a stake in a giant story with just that? Where did an archangel’s conscience go?”

[The Fourth Wall is nodding . ]

[The ‘Wall Dividing Good and Evil’ is looking closely at its master . ]

Faint embarrassment crossed Metatron’s face . Sometimes justice would devour its master .

Surya shook his head and muttered . [Truly a demon king . ]

[ . . . Demon King of Salvation, is there anything you want in Eden?]

I nodded . There were many things I wanted . It was because one or two preparations wasn’t enough for the future Gigantomachia .

「 Kim Dokja recalled the 1863rd round . 」

I wouldn’t lose anyone .

「 In Kim Dokja’s mind, the information of Ways of Survival appeared and disappeared . 」

From now on, it was likely that high ranking constellations would join the battle . It wasn’t just Surya but the other Lokapala of Vedas and some of Olympus’ 12 gods could participate in the scenario .

Was that all? It might be possible to encounter senior demon kings like the Demon King Selection . Maybe Michael as well .

. . . Michael .

「 Finally, Kim Dokja made a decision . 」

I looked at one of the items arranged on a shelf behind Metatron . “Give me one of Eden’s star relics . “

***

A few minutes later, Kim Dokja finished his contract with Surya and stood at the entrance of a portal . Unlike when he came in, this was the front door . Several angels came to see him off .

[ . . . Already?]

Uriel was full of regret as she grasped Jung Heewon’s hand . Jung Heewon looked at Uriel and hugged her tightly .

[Uh . . . ?]

The initially embarrassed Uriel soon hugged Jung Heewon back . Her face was full of emotions .

[The constellation ‘Lily Pin of Aquarius’ is looking at Incarnation ‘Jung Heewon’ . ]

Gabriel’s indirect message came from somewhere . Kim Dokja looked at the sky as if thinking about something . Then he told Jung Heewon, “I’m sorry to interrupt the emotional farewell but Heewon-ssi will stay here for another week . “

“Huh?”

“Don’t worry, I already spoke to the scribe . “

Uriel’s eyes widened at the words . [Really? Is that possible?]

“Of course . Instead, please train Heewon-ssi . You’ve been absent for the past three years . “

[Yes! Leave it to me!]

Kim Dokja turned away from the widely smiling Uriel towards Jung Heewon . “Heewon-ssi, I’ll meet you a week later in Olympus . “

” . . . I understand . I’ll be sure to become stronger when I go back . “

A short handshake later, Kim Dokja disappeared into the portal . Some angels looked disgruntled while others sighed .

The brief event ended and the angels returned to their positions . Gabriel watched from a distance .

[Gabriel . ]

[Scribe . ]

Gabriel bowed towards Metatron who appeared behind her .

[Why didn’t you meet him and talk?]

Gabriel didn’t answer .

[Jophiel’s matter isn’t your fault . ]

[But . . . ]

[Jophiel is strong . She is doing her job properly . Her choice will be the first step in preventing Eden’s destruction . ]

Gabriel’s clear eyes shook at the word ‘destruction . ‘ Her lips opened like she wanted to ask something .

[A message has arrived . ]

In the sky, a message for Metatron arrived . Surprisingly, the sender of the message was Commander of the Red Cosmos .

-This is a report on the identity of the outer god, Secretive Plotter .

Metatron spoke while reaching out for the report . [Soon, the real war will begin . ]

***

It was a bustling street reminiscent of a battlefield . On the way to the auction house, countless merchants were selling all types of items .

Yoo Jonghyuk spoke behind him . “Go quickly . “

Despite his harsh words, Yoo Jonghyuk was constantly concerned with Lee Seolhwa’s movements . He blocked the front of her like he was worried she would be hurt by the passing incarnations and constellations . Some of the incarnations cursed him but Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t care .

“You should be avoiding us . . . “

“Pedestrians first . “

Yoo Jonghyuk’s shamelessly was so high that Lee Seolhwa laughed . Yoo Jonghyuk asked, ” . . . Why are you laughing?”

“Jonghyuk-ssi said that you are a regressor . “

“That’s right . “

“Then did you meet me in your previous life?”

Yoo Jonghyuk had no answer for a moment . “No . “

” . . . I see . “

An awkward atmosphere formed between the two people . Lee Seolhwa glanced sideways at Yoo Jonghyuk . He was someone who seemed to be walking in the far distance, despite being by her side .

Lee Seolhwa smiled bitterly . “Slow down a little bit . There might be items or skill books that you want to buy . “

“There’s no time for that . “

“I already bought one?”

Lee Seolhwa smiled and waved the skill book in her hand .

[Skill — Preserve Humidity] .

Yoo Jonghyuk confirmed the skill book and narrowed his eyes . “You bought a useless skill . “

Lee Seolhwa was already using the skill as her cheeks and lips were moistened . It was harder to find the daily necessities after the scenario began and these life skills were gaining huge popularity, regardless of gender . Lee Seolhwa glanced at Yoo Jonghyuk’s face and spoke, “Jonghyuk-ssi, don’t you need it? The back of your hand and your lips are dry . This city’s temperature is low overall so

your skin becomes dry quickly . “

“You don’t need skills that aren’t for combat .

“But Dokja-ssi has this skill as well?”

Yoo Jonghyuk’s eyebrows twitched . “Kim Dokja has this skill?”

“Yes, he said this is required if you want to be popular with constellations . . . “

“That guy wants to be an idol . ” Yoo Jonghyuk gritted his teeth and kept moving .

Lee Seolhwa looked at Yoo Jonghyuk like he was funny . She didn’t know why but this cold-hearted man became angry whenever he heard Kim Dokja’s name .

Yoo Jonghyuk’s eyes shifted towards a stand .

-50% discount on skill books .

Lee Seolhwa couldn’t help laughing . “Do you want to buy one?”

Yoo Jonghyuk’s steps stopped . She wondered if he liked an item but something was wrong . His fists were trembling . Anger overflowed from Yoo Jonghyuk’s eyes and dominated his expression .

” . . . Yoo Jonghyuk-ssi?”

The entrance to the auction house could be seen in the distance . A group of incarnations was entering it . A girl with blonde hair . Lee Seolhwa felt her heart sink . Yoo Jonghyuk couldn’t control his killing intent as his hand moved towards the Black Demon Sword .

“Jonghyuk-ssi, wait!” Lee Seolhwa instinctively grabbed Yoo Jonghyuk’s arm . She knew the identity of the blonde girl .

Asgard’s prophet . She remembered the story . Yoo Jonghyuk of the last round died after being betrayed by her .

“No . This place . . . the other members . . . !”

Her heart was in a hurry . No matter how strong Yoo Jonghyuk was, this place was the auction house of constellations . It was a place where low-grade and great-grade constellations gathered . Moreover, Yoo Jonghyuk’s enemy wasn’t alone . If he rushed over now . . .

“I thought it would be like this . ” There was a sarcastic voice and Han Sooyoung was standing there . “Have you forgotten? Kim Dokja told you not to get into trouble . “

Han Sooyoung clicked her tongue like he was pathetic and flicked a coin around her fingers . Yoo Jonghyuk replied in a cold voice, “This is none of your business . “

“None of my business? Aren’t we companions?”

“Companions?” Yoo Jonghyuk’s expression distorted . “You aren’t . “

“This is the bottom line . . . hey, you might be the protagonist but . . . !”

“Sooyoung-ssi . ”

The words of the latecomers caused Han Sooyoung to touch her forehead and mutter . “Sigh . . . I can’t live because of Kim Dokja and Yoo Jonghyuk . . . “

“Anna Croft should be removed here . “

“Well, Kim Dokja doesn’t want that . “

“It has nothing to do with Kim Dokja . “

“You just want to deal a blow to her?”

Yoo Jonghyuk paused and glanced at Han Sooyoung . Han Sooyoung stared back at Yoo Jonghyuk for a moment before turning her gaze to the entrance of the auction house .

“What if I have a good idea?” There was an item in Han Sooyoung’s hand .

Yoo Jonghyuk’s eyes shook . “That . . . ?”

“I sneaked it out from Kim Dokja’s coat . ” A wicked smile formed on Han Sooyoung’s face . “Let’s test it once, the prophecy ability of the prophet . “
