Chapter 857 Talk

'In the game, I arrived in this land when the titans are waging war with Olympus. The Olympus send their citizens to their sub-world to avoid becoming casualties in an all-out war against the titans. The battlefield at that time is the land of Olympus and countless people had died.'

Souta recalled what happened in the game. He was tasked to escort some of the survivors to this planet. Slavery became a norm in this land a few years ago and when he arrived here with his fellow warriors, they abolished that system.

Still, there are strong people hiding in this world.

'Right now, I arrived earlier so I wonder what's gonna happen.' Souta smiled to himself.

He was quite interested about what would happen in this world. After all, he could remember a few interesting things here.

"Should I prepare two rooms?" The princess asked carefully.

"One is enough," Souta answered.

"N-No, two rooms..." Eilish said.

Souta glanced at her and raised his eyebrows.

Eilish avoided his gaze as she slowly said, "I-I have to do something..."

Souta looked at her for a few seconds before he turned back to the princess and said, "Okay, two rooms."

"I understand." The princess nodded.

"Can you tell me the current situation of this world? I need to know about the stance of other countries." Souta asked.

The princess slowly told them the recent events around the kingdom and the continent.

After a while, the three arrived in the guest rooms. There were two rooms here, one for Souta and the other for Eilish.

"It's already late so you can rest here for now. If you have any needs, you can ask me. I'll stay in the room next door." The princess said before she politely left.

Souta entered his room. He flicked his finger and set up a barrier to prevent the leakage of his energy.

"It's good."

He sat down in the center of the room and closed his eyes. He would enter his inner consciousness for the first time in a while. He wanted to check something.

Ohm!!

Souta arrived in a seemingly endless space. The ground was like a smooth glass that mirrored the bloody sky. Various gigantic magic circles were hovering around and there were blueish veins-like things attached to it.

This was his inner consciousness. It was entirely different from Saya's since hers was just a fragment of her former inner consciousness. She explained to him before that her inner consciousness was shattered. Luckily, the time difference was still working.

"I should start practicing my Archetype. It still needs a lot of work before I could use it once again. It wasn't fully developed yet."

Souta muttered to himself. His [Great Blood of the End] was different from the other Archetype. Using the characteristics that he learned when he fought Gerxuzs in the past, he tried to copy it and integrate it into this technique. Up until now, he hasn't even managed to remove the flaws of this technique.

But he would be able to complete the first step soon. When that happens, he could probably use the first form in real combat.

Ohm!

Blood seeped out of his pores and it turned into a red color lightning that flashed through the room. It was lucky that he set up a barrier or else everything in this room would turn into nothingness.

Hmm...?

Souta suddenly opened his eyes and the blood lightning disappeared. He turned his head to the next room. He sensed that Eilish had gone out of her room.

"What is she trying to do?"

Souta muttered to himself. He decided to follow her to know what she was up to.

Eilish talked to the princess without even realizing that Souta was following her. The two walked out of the palace and they arrived in front of a huge arena. It was already late at night so only patrolling guards were in this area.

"Arena...?" Souta rubbed his chin while floating in the sky.

The princess said something to the guard and they left the arena. She then bowed toward Eilish and stayed outside. Eilish stepped inside the arena before she set up layers of barriers.

"Hmm...? So she's going to test her spells." Souta muttered.

He looked at her expression and realized that she was still thinking about her brother. She was desperate to gain strength more than before. It wasn't that bad but it seems that she was pushing herself so bad. Even Souta how to rest between his training routine when he was practicing inside Saya's inner consciousness.

"I'm not against her wanting to gain more power but... It will be bad if she became obsessive with it." Souta rubbed the back of his head with a sigh.

...

The Church spread the news about the Messenger of God descending to their world. Everyone knows that a Messenger of God would descend into this world every ten years but they expect that it would happen this month.

The Messenger of God was powerful and they have the strength to demolish a city with a single wave of their weapons. Although the Messenger of God wouldn't leave the Arsen Kingdom, it still made everyone on the continent wary of them.

In the past, some fools challenged a Messenger of God. The outcome was complete obliteration. Since then, most of the countries that have bad intentions with Arsen Kingdom would lay low once the Messenger of God descended into their world.

It was a mythical being in their eyes.

Aside from the higher-ups of the Arsen Kingdom and the Church, no one has seen the appearance of the Messenger of God.

Souta stretched his body as he stared at the sun in the sky. It looks peaceful yet after hearing the princess's story, he found that this world was quite chaotic.

The princess silently walked beside him and said, "We've prepared breakfast."

Souta glanced at her and nodded. His status in this world was even higher than the king or emperor. After all, he was the representative of the god that they worshipped. He even met Goddess Athena for real.

Does this mean that they will do everything that he wanted?

Should he test it out?

Souta rubbed his chin as he smile wickedly. He then shook his head as he had something important to do first.

The princess guided him inside a very spacious room. Eilish, the King, and the Pope were already here sitting on their seats.

"Your Holiness, we've finished collecting all the offerings. It is in the vault of the Divine Cathedral in the City of Grain." The pope said respectfully.

"I see..." Souta nodded.

The City of Grain was quite far from the royal capital. The main city of the Church was outside the territory of the Arsen Kingdom. Arsen Kingdom and the Church had some sort of relationship but the Church wasn't obligated to help the kingdom. It was like a one-sided relationship.

The Arsen Kingdom was known as the Reydrud Republic in the past. It doesn't matter who ruled this place, the church only wanted to know if they would worship their god. The reason for this was the teleportation circle was established in this land. So Souta and the other warriors that went to this world didn't arrive directly at the church.

Even though the church wanted to make this land their own, they couldn't do it because of their oath. They had to stay neutral and only move when their lives were at stake. They couldn't actively invade and conquer this land without any good reason.

"I'll go there and escort the treasures later. For now, I have something I needed to do." Souta said to the pope.

Eilish lifted her head as she looked at him confusedly. She knows nothing about it.

"May I know what's the purpose?" The pope asked politely.

"I'll go to the so-called Devil Sea. As for what I'm going to do there, it's confidential so I can't tell you." Souta replied.

"I understand, Your Holiness." The pope bowed his head.

"Devil Sea is on the other side of the continent, Your Holiness. To go there, you need to traverse through the vast land and different hostile territories." The king said.

"It doesn't matter to me." Souta shrugged his shoulder. He glanced at them and added, "I'll depart today wait for me for a few days."

"Your Holiness, we can't let you go there alone." The pope said hurriedly.

"Huh?" Souta raised his eyebrows. "I'm not alone, Eilish is coming with me."

"N-No, I mean that we can't let you leave without any guide. We'll prepare suitable people to guide you to your destination." The pope said.

"Oh," Souta nodded. He realized that they didn't know that he came here before in the game.

From their point of view, Souta didn't know the in and outs of this world. His knowledge was just the basic. It was also the same for the other warriors that descended here in the past.
