When she asked me if I wanted to commit suicide, I was silent for a moment .

After arranging my thoughts, I replied .

“At least, not now . ”

The God of Slow laughed .

Although the sound itself caused the space to vibrate, I can feel that she was laughing .

[Interesting . Don’t you think you look too miserable and shabby in front of me?]

“That’s true . ”

[Even so, you still don’t want to die?]

“Must it be now? Doesn’t everyone usually die eventually?”

Laughter came again .

[Yes, that’s usually the case . In my presence, most people will go mad or become disgusted with themselves . If neither is true, they will abandon themselves and dedicate their lives to me in awe . Those who claim to be gods are no exception . ]

After listening to the God of Slow, I wanted to ask questions, but God didn’t give me the chance to speak and continued .

[I still remember when you were anxious to die . How interesting . Motivation is a very important thing if one wants to survive, whether it’s for immortality or the ultimate death . But I’ve never seen a being such as you, regarding your survival motivation so highly . Can moths that burn themselves to become sparks of fire really keep themselves in front of me?]

[Human beings need those reasons to survive . Is your life your own or just a means to achieve your goals? Don’t you think it’s strange? Don’t you think the purpose and the means are reversed?]

I don’t know why . I want to answer her immediately .

But I restrained myself and sorted out my thoughts .

This is God’s question .

So even if I couldn’t give a perfect answer, at least I need to answer her discreetly .

I suddenly felt that I have heard those same words before .

Not long ago, but I remember when I heard this sentence .

It wasn’t a question then, but a warning .

‘Don’t confuse ends and means . ’

Kiri Kiri had said that .

It was the warning she gave me when she saw me practice the Poison Energy Skill for my growth regardless of danger .

Seeing me like that, Kiri Kiri had advised many times that I was too obsessed with my growth that should’ve been just a means .

I needed to clarify my goal for my growth .

Although Kiri Kiri’s theme is different from that of the God of Slow, when I think about it carefully, they are similar .

[Nothing is different . If you don’t want to be brandish as someone else’s sword, you can’t be manipulated by your own sword first . ]

[Well, if you know, Then there is no need to answer again because nothing is fixed at the beginning . Our role is to warn you not to trip over yourself . That’s enough . ]

The God of Slow concluded the conversation by reading my thoughts without giving me the chance to answer .

Unconsciously, my taut body relaxed and my tension eased .

Then a message appeared .

[Tutorial, the 40th floor of the hell difficulty cleared . ]

[All abnormal phenomenons and injuries were recovered . ]

[9000 points for clearance award obtained . ]

[9000 points for first clearance award obtained . ]

[There is a God who is optimistic about you . 1000 points obtained . ]

[The God of Slow is watching you . ]

[The God of Slow wants to give additional rewards . Will you accept them?]

I was a little alarmed at the sudden news of clearance .

It’s totally unexpected that clearance will be successful at this point .

“Yes . ”

Although it was whimsical, I responded to the message asking if I would accept the additional award .

Just then, instead of the next message, the God of Slow appears and asks me .

[What kind of reward do you want? You have accumulated a lot of contribution points in this stage . I’ll give you what you want within the limit . ]

The answer has been clear for the God of Slow’s question .

There is only one thing I want from God .

“I want information . ”

[Go on . ]

The first thing I want to know is all about God .

But I have cleared only one stage and there is no way to get such high-level information .

So I decided to get some information that could be the clue .

“Is this one of your many appearances?”

I asked, pointing to the seemingly endless void .

[Correct . Why do you think so?]

“I’ve seen a message where you picked up your pillow and threw it at the God of Adventure before . If your appearance is just the void, you can’t throw a pillow . So I can guess that you may have many different appearances besides the void . “

Space vibrates and makes a sound again .

It’s laughter .

Slightly different from the laughter I heard before .

The laughter lasted for a while and then suddenly stopped .

After a moment of silence, the God of Slow said .

[Forget it . ]

“Ok……”

She spoke so decisively that I couldn’t find any more fault .

To be exact, I dared not to find fault .

If there are other appearances, then where, what are they, and how do different appearances interact with other gods, there are a lot of things I want to ask .

But the God of Slow forbids me to ask any questions related to this subject .

[Ask something else . ]

I ask the God of Slow who wished to hear something else .

“Aren’t you reading my thoughts? Can you explain what I want to know within the scope of permission? I’m afraid the scope of your explanation will be narrowed down by my questions . ”

[No . Anyways, it’s a reward . I can’t explain it to you without asking me . By the way, that one just now also counted as a question . I have deducted the corresponding contribution points, keep that in mind . ]

Suddenly I felt that she is somewhat deliberately provocative .

Is it because of the pillow I mentioned just now or something else?

[Words that make me feel uncomfortable will also cost your contribution points . Again, I told you to forget that . ]

So it is .

Before the contribution points are consumed again, I stop thinking and ask questions I had prepared .

“Are the monsters that appear on Earth the same ones as the origin monsters that appear on the 40th floor?”

[Yes . but there are few monsters with the essence . Other monsters may have similar things, but is nothing compared to the essence . ]

“Then what God asks the apostles to do is to collect the essence and present it to the temple . ”

[Yes . ]

“Then is the essence of the origin necessary to become a God?”
