Chapter 251

Chapter 251

The God of Fate, Yuellos.

Since his existence began, he had rarely ever gotten up from his seat.

Because of this, the other gods called him the crippled god.

He simply had no reason to move.

Yuellos governed the great flow of fate that ran through the world.

Unlike the other gods, he had no desire to grow stronger through the faith of those on the surface.

Nor was he interested in the boredom one might feel after living for thousands of years.

He simply sat in his place, watched the flow of fate that guided the world, and wished for it to continue flowing properly.

No matter what result awaits at the end of fate's endless flow.

However, recently, Yuellos had noticed a disturbance in the flow of fate.

At first, it was as insignificant as a single drop of water falling into a vast ocean.

But as time passed, it gradually grew larger.

Eventually, it created waves powerful enough to shake the entire ocean.

It had grown so enormous that it could completely change the fate that had already been decided.

I must stop it.

I must stop it and correct the world so that it follows the path it is meant to take.

With that thought, Yuellos rose from his seat and began to act.

He gave warnings to gods who were unaware of what was happening and showed them the path they were supposed to take.

He intended to personally stop the distortion of fate that would be brought about by the gray-haired, gray-eyed human he had seen beyond the memories Nox had shown him.

“But to think you're becoming nothing but an obstacle when you should be helping……”

Yuellos looked at Minis and Sipherinne with displeasure.

One god did not even know what she possessed and was simply trying to use it to gain some insignificant authority.

The other god had deliberately decided to shake fate itself and spread her unknown influence throughout the world.

“How utterly detestable.”

Predicting the movements of those two gods was not difficult.

If they were not creating Avatars to interfere with the surface world, there were only a few things they could do here.

Of course, Sipherinne seemed to be plotting some other method by joining with Mors.

But after observing Minis's suspicious actions recently, it was obvious that the two of them would eventually appear here.

He could also roughly predict the new rules they wanted to obtain by modifying the Heavenly Law.

They would probably change the rules to prevent the gods from interfering with the surface world or place severe restrictions on the gods' powers themselves.

They will want to save that being on the surface world more than anything.

Of course, Yuellos had quietly waited here for Minis and Sipherinne so that they could not do that.

Step.

Step.

He was accompanied by the lower-ranking gods who followed Nox.

He needed the justification of punishing traitors of Symposion who dared to interfere with the absolute Heavenly Law.

“Minis……

You really went this far……”

“Anyone could tell that you only pretended to agree with Yuellos back then.”

“Even Nox wouldn't do something like this.”

Minis narrowed her eyes as she looked at the gods surrounding them.

“……So you saw through it.”

“Looking at how boldly you're acting, it doesn't seem like you intended to hide it in the first place.”

“Yeah.

You're right, Yuel.

I don't really care if someone finds out halfway through.

Because……”

A sharp light swirled inside her blue eyes, which contained golden concentric circles.

“I've already succeeded.”

“……What?”

Yuellos frowned.

At the same time, he saw an ominous energy rising around Minis.

It was similar to the energy emitted by an existence that rebelled against predetermined fate.

“!

Stop Sipherinne!”

“……”

Yuellos shouted urgently.

But the only response was silence.

“What……”

“Pfft……

Ahahaha……

Ahahahaha!”

Minis grabbed her stomach and burst out laughing.

Yuellos's eyes became sharp.

“What have you done……”

The lower-ranking gods remained silent.

Then, one by one, they slowly walked over and moved to Minis's side.

Yuellos clenched his molars.

After laughing for a while, Minis caught her breath and slowly continued.

“You……”

“Nox is so pitiful, isn't he?

For thousands of years, his friends have been taken away from him one by one, and he doesn't even know it.”

Yuellos's pupils widened.

“Damn……!”

He had been fooled.

He had never imagined that most of Nox's followers would side with Minis.

“Well……

Not all of them, but at least you can consider every one of these children here to have come over to my side.”

Surrounded by numerous gods, Minis smiled slyly.

“So what are you going to do now?

I hear the ones close to Nox are quite busy because they're currently moving around with Avatars on the surface world.”

“Grrrgh!

Are you all out of your minds?

Do you even understand what you're doing while helping Minis?!”

Yuellos shouted.

But the lower-ranking gods gave him no answer.

“Well……

I wonder if these children care about something like the twisting of fate.

They decided that changing Symposion together with me would be better than continuing to be looked down upon as lower-ranking gods.”

“No matter what Minis promised you, you are simply being used!”

But again, silence was the only answer.

“Now then, let's begin.

Sipherinne.

Finish what you started.”

Minis spoke quietly.

Sipherinne, still confused by the sudden situation, did not know what to do.

Her confusion lasted only for a moment.

She once again reached toward the Heavenly Law.

Fwoooosh—

The absolute law that sustained Symposion.

The moment Sipherinne's hand, filled with the power of the Unknown, touched it, the light began to tremble.

“Sto, stop, Sipherinne!”

Yuellos desperately tried to stop her.

But more than a dozen lower-ranking gods were already standing in front of him, blocking his path.

“I'm sorry, Yuellos……

I know very well that you care about the world's fate more than anyone.

But……”

Sipherinne, her hand touching the Heavenly Law, quietly looked at Yuellos.

**“I saw it.

The world's predetermined fate you keep talking about…… is destruction.”**

“I never intended to take things this far……

After I called that child here, I simply intended to quietly wait for fate to change.”

“But things changed in such a terrible direction……

I wanted to lessen even a little of the burden on that child who might disappear because of me.

So in the end, I came here while pretending to be led by Minis.”

“You still want to protect that fate, don't you?

But I don't.

I want this place that I love to remain.

So……”

The silver-gray eyes that had been wandering for so long finally filled with determination.

Then gray particles of light began flowing from Sipherinne's hand into the blue sphere.

“Sto, stop……”

“I'll change it with my own power.”

“Sipherinne!!”

Crackle!

Along with a furious roar, blue particles of light began exploding around Yuellos.

“Stop her!”

Minis hurriedly released her power and shouted.

The lower-ranking gods blocking Yuellos also released their respective powers.

However—

Kuwaaaang!

“Urgh!”

“This can't be!”

The power of the lower-ranking gods could not withstand the power of fate released by the higher-ranking god Yuellos.

It vanished instantly.

Soon, Yuellos's power reached the Heavenly Law that Sipherinne was touching.

Crackle—

Kiiiiing!

The power of fate and the power of the Unknown began colliding inside the single sphere.

At the same time, the divine power released by Minis struck Yuellos and pushed him into the wall.

“Still struggling……!”

“Hehehe……

Hehehehe……”

Yuellos quietly laughed.

“Mi, Minis!”

Sipherinne shouted.

Minis immediately turned her gaze.

The Heavenly Law, which had been glowing blue, began emitting a strange light as it harmonized the powers of Sipherinne and Yuellos.

“Yuel!

What have you done……!”

“Everything shall follow the fate that has been decided……”

His brown eyes emitted an eerie light as he stared at Minis and Sipherinne.

But at that moment, they could not exchange another word.

Vooooooong—

The powers of the Unknown and Fate contained within the Heavenly Law fused together and spread in every direction.

Then they swallowed not only the gods present in that place, but all of Heaven itself.

The beautiful Heaven was instantly swallowed by light and disappeared.


After spending a day at Ovenue Fortress, the operation to retrieve the Mythical-grade artifacts scattered across the continent began immediately.

“Don't push yourselves too hard.

Understand?”

“Yes, Young Lady Tris.”

“Hehe, thank you.

For Brother's sake, I'll make sure to return safely.”

The first to leave Ovenue were Romina and Luceria, who had been assigned to the same group.

The two were heading toward the southeastern edge of the continent to retrieve three Mythical-grade artifacts.

There was only one reason Glenn had deliberately paired the demon Romina with the human Luceria.

Because their combination is good.

Their personalities might not match very well, but their combination in battle was excellent.

Luceria possessed the greatest amount of divine power among humans, so she would take the frontline using barriers and area-of-effect skills.

Meanwhile, Romina could focus her firepower from the rear.

“Um……

Let's do our best together, Miss Romina.”

“……Sure.

Well……

Let's take care of things so thoroughly that Glenn will be surprised.”

The combination of a kind-hearted person and a somewhat twisted demon was bound to feel awkward.

Still, if they travel together all the way to the southeastern part of the continent, they'll probably grow closer.

“Mr. Ridenhall and Miss Penelope too.”

“For Brother's sake, this amount of effort cannot even be called a hardship.”

“Well……

I agree with that.

Let's do our best so Elder Glenn will be happy.”

This group was also an excellent combination.

Ridenhall would first use skeletons strengthened with enchantment magic to form the frontline.

Then Penelope in the rear would weaken the enemies, allowing them to be dealt with easily.

The only concern was that a Saint who disliked demons and a witch who despised humans had been placed on the same team.

There was no telling when the relationship between them might explode.

Of course, that should not become a major problem.

Glenn had already warned them that if either of them died, he would immediately cancel the entire operation and rush over.

*They both hate causing trouble for me more than they hate dying.

They should behave themselves.*

There were ten artifacts in total that they were targeting.

But since these were quests to obtain Mythical-grade artifacts, each party would have to face challenges difficult enough to overwhelm them.

“Even if you can't obtain everything, getting one or two each will still count as a success.

So don't push yourselves too hard trying to get them all.

Understand?”

It had already been a week since the three groups had left Ovenue Fortress.

Glenn had already crossed the border and arrived at the quest location in the northern part of the Land of Demons.

Whoooosh—

A freezing wind brushed against his skin.

But for Glenn, whose realm had already risen close to transcendence, it was nothing more than a gentle breeze.

“Nice weather.”

Glenn spoke while looking down from a snow-covered cliff at the glacier below.

The cold wind here could tear through skin, and powerful monsters lurked between the enormous pillars of ice.

Unless someone possessed an exceptionally high level of strength, they would not even consider entering this place.

This place, which the demons called the ruthless Hildesheim, was the first of the three locations Glenn had been assigned.

“The monsters…… Let's see……

They're all just as I remember, so there shouldn't be any major problems.”

“The event location shouldn't be very different from the original either.

So I should be able to finish it today……”

Glenn opened the Lunatic map chart and examined various parts of Hildesheim while organizing his thoughts.

Then, when he suddenly noticed a familiar name approaching, he smiled and left his position.

A thick layer of ice with a river flowing beneath it.

Waiting at the designated meeting place was a female demon with black hair.

“Have you been waiting long?”

“Ah……”

The woman turned around with a happy expression at Glenn's voice.

Her red demon eyes glowed as she gave him a quiet smile.

“I just arrived.”

“I know.

I've been watching.”

“Is that so?

As expected, there is nothing you do not know.

In any case, it is good to see you again.

My master……

Glenn Wordsworth.”

It was a highly restrained expression of happiness.

But Glenn knew just how much sincerity was hidden behind those words.

So he gave her a gentle smile.

“Yeah.

It's good to see you too, Rowen.”
