Chapter 778: The Last (11)

‘Mythic-grade?’

What happened?

[A barrier has unfolded to protect the temple due to the effect of the mythic-grade statue.]

[The physical strength and magic of individuals inside it are automatically restored, and their resistance also increases. Divinity begins to dwell in the barrier, and the lands within its perimeters are purified. The curse of the believers who pray is purified. Those within the barrier cannot be affected by fatigue.]

[There is an infinite amount of faith in the believers. Acquired 1.5 times additional divinity.]

‘1.5 times additional divinity?’

I was on the verge of being dazzled by the messages that kept coming up.

The positive effects that I witnessed were impressive enough to make my mouth open.

The part that said I would gain additional divinity particularly made me wonder if I read it wrong.

I was so confused that I didn’t know how to explain the phenomenon.

The brilliant sunset light illuminated the stone statue. I didn’t know if it was because of the radiance, but it looked even more sacred.

Han Sora and Jung Hayan were still staring at the statue.

Seeing a little smile on Hayan’s face, who had a runny nose and tears rolling down her eyes, made me feel a little better, but Sora’s face also caught my eyes.

Her expression told me she couldn’t believe it even though she was the one who made it. It was a face that did not believe in her own prowess.

‘No. Fuck, I shouldn’t be like this. I have to change her class first. Why are you a black wizard? Since you found your talent, you have to go down a new path.’

[Would you like to offer Han Sora a class change?]

[Searching for a mythic-grade class. Couldn’t find a suitable class.]

[A unique mythic-grade class has been created.]

‘Fuck, a unique mythic-grade class! It’s a unique mythic! Unique mythic!‘

[Unique Mythic-Grade Class: Life-Carving Sculptor]

[Proposing the unique mythic-grade class Life-Carving Sculptor to Han Sora.]

A Life-carving Sculptor.

That wasn’t wrong. Look at that statue. Didn’t it feel like it was alive?

‘Come on. Sora. Let’s make some more just like this!’

[Player Han Sora declined the offer.]

‘?’

I hurriedly gazed at her, and I found her looking as if that wasn’t right. It seemed she would never want to do it.

Was it because of the pressure from Kim Hyunsung and Jung Hayan? Was it because they intervened and tried to control everything? Was it so hard to accept their annoyance?

When that was made, it was a bit too much even for me… Honestly, it would be understandable for her to be traumatized…

I wasn’t in a position to nibble at anything right now. It was a mythic-grade class! It’s 1.5 times additional divinity.

[Proposing the unique mythic-grade class Life-Carving Sculptor to Han Sora.]

[Han Sora stubbornly declined the offer.]

She had her eyes closed tightly, almost as if she was praying that this was going too far. Once again, her feelings about not wanting to suffer that kind of pain were visible on her face.

[Han Sora begs, insisting that she doesn’t want to change classes.]

‘Fuck, just change your class.’

[Han Sora says she doesn’t want to change her class. It’s no longer possible to solicit her to change class.]

‘Han Sora, really? Oh, this is not the time. I have to take care of our Hayan.’

I almost forgot that I had something more important because of Han Sora’s class issue. Even though it was a mythic-grade statue, it wasn’t guaranteed to be able to connect over and over again, so it would be better for me to speak as much as I could.

What should I say? Honestly, there were many things I wanted to say. I had been watching how she was doing, but that was different from asking her.

I wanted to talk with excitement, but I was a god now, so I wondered if it was proper for me to do that… The words coming out of the statue were essentially like oracles, so I had to be careful.

I could see those in the temple gathering in front of the statue. Everyone was looking up at it as if they were possessed by something.

“Don’t cry, Jung Hayan.”

I thought it would be better to use honorifics.

-O-Oppa… oppa. Ugh… oppa. Oppa…

“I’ve always been watching you. Since the creation of this temple and statue started, I have been watching you.”

‘Saying it like this will make her happy.’

“I understand that you’re having a lonely and hard time. However, I swear by my name, we will meet again. I don’t know when it’ll be, but we will definitely see each other once more. Hence, there is no reason for you to cry anymore.”

-…

She was still shedding thick tears.

‘Why is she crying so much?’

“You should stop crying now, shouldn’t you?”

She was biting her lips tightly.

I didn’t know if it helped, but the words we could meet someday seemed comforting to her.

Honestly, Jung Hayan would have wanted to hear that the most.

She was making plans to come up on her own, and she might have recalled the methods to cope with the number of cases where we could not meet, but she had to have been partly nervous. I wondered if she was relieved enough just to have her anxiety reduced a little.

I had a lot of things to say, but I didn’t know where to start. It had been a while since I had talked like this, causing my mind to be confused.

‘Where are the others? Haven’t they heard the news yet?’

As expected, I could see them coming. Manager Kim Mi-young contacted them.

-Hyung-nim?

I heard a familiar voice.

‘Yes, it’s me, pig bastard.’

-Are you really hyung-nim? Are you really him?

It had been a while since I’d seen Park Deokgu’s face like that. He looked distorted. Tears continued to pour out of his eyes.

-Is it really you? Sniff… Sniff…

He looked like a child rubbing his eyes with his big hand.

-I… I’m stupid… I’m really sorry for being stupid.

“It’s not your fault.”

-I’m really sorry I couldn’t be with you until the end… I’m sorry… I don’t know what to say… I… really…

Now he couldn’t even speak properly.

Come to think of it. I remembered that he had a mental collapse that was as bad as Kim Hyunsung’s.

He was forcing himself to look bright right now, but in the end, he didn’t show up at the memorial service, so it had to have been really hard for him.

Honestly, I thought it would be that pig bastard’s role to move my body. I thought he would hold a picture of me from the front seat.

He couldn’t do that because Park Deokgu denied my death.

He locked himself in the room for a while, so I understood.

-Hyung-nim… It’s all my fault that you turned out like that.

“It’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself.”

-Whatever you say, it’s my fault… I… I’m sorry. I’m sorry for leaving you like that. I couldn’t see you off, so I’m really… sniff… sorry. You only had a hard time getting someone who had no ability… I’m really sorry I couldn’t help with anything. Sniff… Sniff… I’m a fool. I’m really…

“You are one of the heroes of the continent. Remember. Always remember what I told you.”

I told him to stop crying, but he was now covering his face with both hands. He probably couldn’t control his tears.

-Waaaaaah… Sniff… waaaaaahh…

‘No, why are you crying out loud like this? Stop. Other people will see you.’

-Waaaaaaaah…

Ahn Ki-mo, a paladin, was praying briefly and expressing courtesy. Kim Ye-ri was also crying.

When I was with them, she showed she didn’t like me, but it wasn’t like that, and although I could see that she was trying to holding it back somehow, her nose tip was red.

I tried to say something.

[The connection with the statue will soon be terminated.]

However, I heard unwelcoming news.

It was so short that I had to laugh. I could understand why so many gods weren’t showing up well. The divinity cost of intervening in the present world was also high, and it wasn’t easily possible in the first place.

There was a precedent of Benignore hiding inside the statue, but I wasn’t in a position to leave now.

‘Is it possible to connect with the statue if certain conditions are met? In my case, is it discounted when the sunset light pours out? There are other conditions too… I have to read about it.’

Since it was a mythic-grade statue, the cost was probably relatively low.

‘If I just come and connect with it without any conditions…’

The extra cost incurred would be beyond imagination. I could see why those bastards minimized intervening in the present world. It might just have been that they didn’t have conditions to lessen the cost.

Of course, I understood the stance of those who opposed the gods’ intervention in this world, but I thought that was intended to protect the gods.

Honestly, it was no different from gambling. If a god came down and showed something impressive, they could get their money’s worth, but if they didn’t, they could go bankrupt.

In order to maintain and manage continents and dimensions, the intervention had to be minimized.

[The connection with the statue will soon be terminated.]

‘Why isn’t Kim Hyunsung coming to the temple quickly?’

He must’ve been wandering around again. Since the temple hadn’t been completed yet, he was probably looking for materials.

If he received a call from manager Kim Mi-young, he would probably be running over right now.

Sure enough, I could see the figure of a person rushing to the temple. The problem that he was quite far. I saw Kim Hyunsung spreading his wings while running.

-I’m going now, so please tell him to wait a bit, Manager.

He was skillfully talking to manager Kim Mi-young with the Goddess’s Hand Mirror.

-I’m going now. I think I will arrive in 10 minutes. Yes. Yes. What are you guys talking about? Yes. Yes. No, can you call Hayan here for a moment? Ah… Yes. Okay. I will go as soon as possible.

That bastard was about to cry too.

-Is he still there? Can you still hear his voice?

‘Oh, but I don’t think I’ll have time… this is like drama… they won’t let us meet like this. Really.’

It would be nice to say hello to Hyunsung, Cho Hyejin, and the rest of the Blue Guild, but I really didn’t have time.

Since I came, I had to deliver some oracle. If there was a communication channel, I should think about using it efficiently, right?

“My soulmate. If you can hear my voice, come to me.”

-What?

“My soulmate. If you can hear my voice, come to me.”

I was looking for Lee Jihye of the Black Swan. I thought it would be better to say something like that because she wouldn’t come out. I didn’t specifically refer to her, but she would come to the temple if she heard the news somewhere.

No, she had to come. It would be difficult to get out of this situation without her help.

One problem was…

-What? What? Ah… Yes. Okay. I will go as soon as possible.

“…”

-I think… Yes. Maybe… I think Kiyoung is looking for me, manager Kim Mi-young.

Kim Hyunsung, who was getting the current situation’s report in real-time from manager Kim Mi-young, was firmly misunderstanding something.

‘No. Fuck. Hyunsung.’

-The soulmate is probably…

‘It’s not you. This bastard. ‘

-Yes. I’m not sure, but the odds are high.

“Wait…”

[The connection with the statue is being terminated.]

“Ah…”

“…”

“It’s not you… bastard… Please call Jihye. Please…”
