Chapter 2268 – 2268. God’s Atlantis

The Black Pharaoh has disappeared. Even when I looked around, I couldn’t feel its presence.

“The restoration of Atlantis has been completed.”

A system notification appeared and then disappeared.

Look around. Ordinary people walked around as if nothing had happened. You don’t remember anything that just happened.

But some people tilt their heads.

“Uh, huh? I feel a sense of déjà vu. Wasn’t there something strange in the sky?”

“What bullshit. “Did you even have a dream?”

“Dream? Ah. “It’s similar.”

“It must be deja vu. “Sometimes you feel that way.”

“It felt much more vivid than déjà vu.”

“Let’s go and earn more AP. Fuck. “If I could control even just one small area, I wouldn’t have gone through all this trouble.”

Some people seem to feel something, but ultimately ignore it.

‘The strong wouldn’t have forgotten like those guys.’

I crossed my arms and looked into space.

“System.”

There is no answer. It was like this originally. Unless something special happens, the system ignores it.

“Earlier, the Black Pharaoh appeared and played a trick on me.”

「Check the records of Atlantis.」

“As a result, the involvement of the Black Pharaoh was confirmed.”

“We sanction the Black Pharaoh.”

“The Black Pharaoh is crying. Such a snitch!”

It was a pointless cruel treatment. Even if it is a system sanction, it cannot cause much damage. When the Black Pharaoh appeared, all he did was talk a little.

“System. The victim is me. “Compensation must be given.”

「500,000 AP will be paid as a reward.」

“You took it from my pocket! “He’s like a day robber!”

After that, the reaction disappeared. 500,000 AP ended up in my pocket. I felt good about earning 500,000 AP for nothing.

‘I don’t let down my guard. That bastard is the kind of guy who leaves hints to people with just a few conversations… It would be better to just forget about the conversation we just had.’

It was impossible to erase the memory, so I decided to ignore it.

Food Duck.

A pigeon suddenly appeared in the air. The dove came in front of me and spread its wings wide.

Boom!

Like a magic show, the dove explodes and turns into a letter that slowly falls from the air.

It’s something called a light feather. It had the effect of sending a letter to the target. The store price is 700,000 AP. It is disposable and has limitations, so it is not a cost-effective product.

In short, it was something close to a waste of money. Of course, there were advantages as well. Being able to deliver goods accurately to the target.

I opened the letter and checked it. The sender is Samuel. He was the boss of Hellten. The content was simple. It is a summons of executives.

• • •

“You have entered Area 3,709, Star Discrimination.”

“This is a hidden area.”

“Truth and lies are determined in area 3,709.”

“The penalty for lying has been lifted due to the ruler’s settings.”

“Due to the ruler’s special settings, the gods except for the contract gods cannot see the situation here.”

「Due to the ruler’s special settings, you cannot leave the area by moving through space, including the spell book.」

“A secret curtain has been spread. All divine seats are prohibited from looking into this place for a certain period of time.”

We arrived at a place that could be called Hellten’s hideout. When I looked around, all the executives except me were gathered together. I made eye contact with Elena, who was wearing a mirror mask. Even though we exchanged looks, we didn’t pretend to know each other.

“The clown is here too. “He’s already there, so he’s just starting, right?”

The raccoon sitting on the floor opened its mouth. A wooden doll was placed next to it.

Besides that, there were quite a few people wearing masks. There were also masks I had never seen before.

‘A total of 8 people. Last time I saw you, there were 3 people. Two people died, and one new person arrived.’

Helten’s executives are quite fluid. They did not come together out of loyalty to Samuel, etc., But rather came together for their own benefit and purpose. If you wanted a strong relationship, you wouldn’t have used a mask or code name.

Eight people gathered in a small space, but no one opened their mouths. It was also due to the specificity of the place. The moment you spew out lies in this area, Samuel, the boss, will see through you.

“Thank you all for coming together. Originally, I had no intention of convening like this. Because there are still many things we lack.”

Samuel’s voice was soft. He is a young man in his 20s with white skin and blonde hair. He had a pleasing appearance. Furthermore, he had an appearance that could be ignored at the same time.

However, among the people gathered here, no one ignores him. He overwhelmed the audience with his strange atmosphere. His presence dominated this place.

‘A regressor, not a regressor.’

This is Atlantis’s 8th time. Samuel has information from the past 1 to 7 rounds through the hunter ability record viewing.

“Let’s get straight to the point, right? “I’m quite busy, so I still find it difficult to find time.”

Said the mirror. Samuel nodded his head.

“Do you all remember the strange incident that happened an hour ago? Is there anyone who has forgotten?”

The executives did not answer. It wasn’t worth answering. Isn’t it one of the most famous criminal organizations in Atlantis? Helten’s executives basically possessed excellent military power. Although he may have been overwhelmed by the crack that occurred an hour ago, he would not have forgotten it.

“I’ll ask just in case. “Someone gone crazy?”

“Can you not go crazy after seeing that?”

Sajatal, holding his spear in his hand, asked back.

“How much do you remember?”

“… I know that something was observing us through the crack. I don’t know exactly what it is. My mind turned white and I committed suicide. … To be honest, even now I don’t want to think about it again.”

The lion trembled slightly. I didn’t know that the most aggressive lion among the executives would be like this.

‘If a lion is that good… Am I the only one who isn’t crazy? Could it be that Samuel also went crazy when he saw the color of his eyes?’

Samuel grinned.

“This is why mental strength is important. Ordinary people suffer mental damage as soon as they see the true form of a god. But the good news is that there are only two beings that would make us go crazy if we even recognized them.”

“… Who are those two?”

“The key to every door and eternal abundance. The being that observes us through the cracks is eternal abundance. “Those two are gods that not even the gods can do anything about.”

“You didn’t go crazy when you saw that guy? How did you survive?”

There was a kind of desperation in the lion’s voice. Samuel opened the subspace and poured out the items. A cone-shaped hat, round glasses, an old coat, gloves with intricate patterns, a necklace similar to a dream catcher, etc.

“These are items that have a mental defense effect of at least A rank or higher. Thanks to you, I was barely able to survive. Should I say I was lucky? “By the time I reached my limit, it was gone.”

Samuel said as if it was no big deal. However, no one could easily agree with that statement.

Glitter wearing a jewel mask sighed and scratched his neck.

“Boss. Isn’t the boss’ ultimate goal to kill God? Oh, of course, the people here probably have similar goals. But how are you going to kill it? Just looking at it makes me crazy.”

The other executives were silent and agreed. They lost their will to fight when they saw eternal abundance. I understand. How do we deal with a monster that destroys stars with just the aftermath of its movement?

This is not at the level of ants killing humans. Isn’t this saying that fine dust kills humans?

‘… Can fine dust collect and kill humans? But even if we gather together, it’s not even a handful.’

I understand why Samuel issued the summons. This is to comfort executives. If the lion looks like that, would other people be fine? If I had left it alone, my will would have broken.

“Lion. Think with common sense. That should be natural disaster, not God. Wouldn’t the gods also consider it a natural disaster? “Even the gods cannot understand it.”

“… “Isn’t that our enemy?”

“Shall I tell you some good news? You will never have to worry about eternal abundance ever again. I went out into space. An unknown that even the gods cannot understand. “I probably won’t see you again.”

I was surprised.

Isn’t this information you heard from the Black Pharaoh?

‘Did that bastard give information to Samuel too?’

Did you know it using Samuel’s ability, ‘Read Records’? That makes no more sense. Because Eternal Abundance would not have moved in the last episode.

‘If it’s not the Black Pharaoh… Another god must have told me. It looks like we have joined hands with a god of quite high rank.’

I don’t know who that god is.

“I have one more good news for you. The keys to all the doors suddenly disappeared. But this is also bad news. Because the two beings in the universe that the gods were watching over have disappeared. Do you understand what I mean?”

“… That means the gods can run wild. Even if that weren’t the case, they would try to take over the empty universe. To use a metaphor, it’s like the owner of the throne has disappeared.”

The guy wearing the letter mask said. I don’t know the code name since I’m a new recruit.

‘This guy wasn’t even in the original.’

The identity was unknown.

But this guy has been secretly watching me since a while ago. It can be felt through sensitive senses.

‘Does he know me?’

I have no idea who it is.

Maybe he’s from the desert.

“That’s right. The landscape is changing. It’s a positive change for us.”

“What does it mean?”

I asked.

“Most of the powers of the gods are tied to Atlantis. And now it’s too late to let go of Atlantis. Because the damage is so severe. So what will the gods do?”

I can’t take my hands off it. However, there is too much invested in Atlantis to just sit back and watch.

“… Raise the stakes further? Is Atlantis worth it?”

“It is up to the gods to assign value. The important thing is that our value has gone up. “We have an opportunity.”

“… What opportunity?”

“Good opportunity.”

Samuel laughs. He didn’t seem to have any intention of giving away detailed plans.
