The Tutorial Is Too Hard

chapter-370-30041322
On the 60th floor, there was a sealed Ahbooboo.
There was no other place to put him other than this place.
It was also the best place for research and experimentation.
While watching Ahbooboo, who was bound by a clinging barrier, I asked Seregia, who was watching him.
“How is his condition?”“Not good.”
Seregia replied with a serious face.
I don’t like it.
Was the decision to get him too much?
“Honey was flirting with me to escape.”
“Crazy…….”
[No, it’s a little embarrassing to say so plainly, Miss Seregia.]It’s a pity as soon as you wake up in a state of restraint.
Tsk tsk, she clicked her tongue.
[Haha, unlike in the past, when she was locked in the sword and didn’t speak for several months, Miss Seregia has become a lot more active. I’m trying to seduce her with my brilliant charm and eloquence because I’m in a human form…….]
Ahbooboo who opened his mouth began to chat endlessly.
To put it nicely, It was pleasant, but if I expressed it honestly, then his words seemed cheap.
Of course, Ahbooboo is not really interested in Seregia.
I wouldn’t have thought that Seregia would respond to the joke.
Basically, the two are swords.
A sword that can take the form of a human, not a human that can take the form of a sword.
The difference was great.
[What a shame! She almost fell for it! I wish Warrior came in a little late!]
He just has that kind of personality.
I laughed at the absurdity on one hand, but on the other hand, my heart became warm.
Due to the fact that the appearance of the Ahbooboo that I used to know remains unchanged.
“I wasn’t disappointed, at all.”
Seregia also refuted Ahbooboo’s words as before.
It was a conversation that really reminded me of the past.
But that Ahbooboo doesn’t exactly match the Ahbooboo I knew.
That is the result of fusion with the numerous Aubutz that appeared on the stage.
Of course, he also has the appearance and memory of the Ahbooboo I knew, but there will be more parts that I don’t know.
The unanswerable delight seemed to be the personality that all Aubutz have in common.
[That’s why, Warrior.]
Ahbooboo, who was babbling alone, called me.
And he naturally asked.
[Warrior, can you just send me back?]
To put it so politely, it sounded like a request, such as ‘would you like to have a glass of water?’
Or something like ‘can you turn off the lights before leaving?’
“Hmm, no.”
[That’s too bad! You almost fell for it!]
“I wasn’t sorry for anything.”
Ahbooboo cannot be released right away.
If so, I wouldn’t even bring him in the first place.
Before I separate the Aubutz that are fused into one and bring out the Ahbooboo I know from them.
So, I had no intention of returning Ahbooboo until he was made to exist as a single entity.
[Then, will you send me back after that?]
“Well, it looks like the God of the Sky will put you back together again.”
The combined Ahbooboo is definitely useful.
I knew well because we had faced each other.
In the first place, the fact that a single apostle was able to confront a god proves Ahbooboo’s performance.
I have heard that the God of the Sky has an exceptionally large number of subjects and believers among the Hundred Gods Temple.
Ahbooboo’s combined abilities will be very necessary to manage the areas scattered around the world.
And knowing that, I’ll go find Ahbooboo again.
Like the repeat mark , the same thing will be repeated.
[Then, I will contact the God of the Sky before I go back. We can get a promise not to merge me back together. The God of the Sky keeps his promises very well.]
Ahbooboo spoke in a sly way.
He wasn’t daunted by my opposition and suggested a way back.
“Do you want to go back like that?”
[Yes.]
It was an immediate answer.
It’s a little disappointing.
Really.
I knew he would answer, even if it was an empty word.
[Warrior, I found meaning there.]
“From the God of the Sky?”
[No, from those believers.]
A couple words spoken in an unkind, serious voice.
It was a statement that was not like an apostle who worshiped God, but it was possible because of the significance of the apostle of the God of the Sky to the believers.
[Looking at the people who lived peacefully and serving them. Although I couldn’t be like them, I was able to project their happiness onto me while protecting their lives.]
I understood.
Even at this moment, Hochi, who is working hard on Earth, is feeling the same thing.
In Hochi’s case, there was a personal taste that was added in.
Even I felt a similar joy while watching Earth’s believers.
It was also the satisfaction of self-consciousness filled with good intentions.
It was also a vicarious satisfaction that I felt when I saw others enjoy the kind of happiness I couldn’t get.
[This will remain the same whether I get divided again or remain as I am now.]
It was a voice with strong determination.
[Of course, if you promise to send me back, it would be okay to stay here for a while, even for the sake of the future. I want to do that too. I have a lot of things I want to say.]
Ahbooboo said so as if he had read my heart.
A lot to say.
I wanted to know what happened after we separated, and I also wanted to tell him what I went through.
[Because of my long memories, the years I spent with Warrior were really meaningful. I was aware of the world outside the stage, and we went around many worlds together…….]
Following Ahbooboo’s words, the memories of that time came to mind.
Certainly, the time I was with Ahbooboo could be called a decent memory in the Tutorial.
[Then are you sending me back?]
“No.”
[Why!]
Why are you even asking?
“Not until I take out the abilities you used.”
Did you think you showed me those abilities and thought that I would gently let you go?
I won’t be satisfied until they are implemented and improved to a perfect level.
[Ahhh! Where is this!]
Where? You’re here.
Leaving Ahbooboo to Seregia, I approached the portal to Earth.
[Ah, Warrior! You’re not going to go like that, are you? No?! Oh, wait a minute! Wait a minute! Ah! Hey…!]
Leaving behind Ahbooboo’s cries, I moved to Earth through the portal.
*
Earth was noisy.
To be exact, the area near the temple.
“What is going on?”
Even the interior of the temple was noisy.
“It’s opening day today.”
“Ah.”
There was a space for believers in this temple.
There were also prayer rooms and exhibition halls or tourist attractions, event halls, and rest areas for those who come to play or visit lightheartedly.
“It’s not perfect yet, because this and that happened. It opened a bit too early to change the atmosphere and draw attention from people.”
“Yes, good job.”
Since Hochi decided that way, I had no intention of making a fuss.
Rather, I should ask Hochi before doing anything.
“Dad, I did a good job too!”
Yong-yong, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his hand and shouted.
Yong-yong was in charge of the design and interior of the temple.
“Yong-yong did a good job too.”
After answering, Yong-yong tried to sit next to me, but I saw something strange.
Someone was lying on the sofa on Yong-yong’s lap.
It was the mantis.
It fell asleep on Yong-yong’s knees.
Compared to the small Yong-yong, the relatively large sized mantis was on his knee, so it looked somehow incongruous.
Anyway, that’s disgusting.
I haven’t even laid down on Yong-yong’s legs.
I lifted Yong-yong up and sat him in front of me.
When Yong-yong’s legs, which were supporting its head, disappeared, the mantis fell on the couch and smacked its head, but did not wake up.
“It sleeps often these days.”
Hochi said, pointing to the mantis.
“Often?”
“I’m putting it to sleep. The mantis is tired.”
Yong-yong said, waving his short legs in my arms.
Putting it to sleep.
There’s no way that the mantis will be tired or sleepy.
The source was a crystal of power which accumulated power to the extreme and finally gained reason.
I looked at the mantis, which was still not waking up.
Soon I could see the reason.
It ate a lot too.
It was very full of faith.
And that faith was gathering and trying to form a new form.
It’s a transitional period.
The stage of making the power of the gathered faith into one’s own and to sprout divinity.
It seems that Yong-yong is putting it to sleep to stabilize the mantis that is going through that period.
I don’t think I need to care about the mantis anymore.
Yong-yong was taking care of it better than expected.
It did not cause any problems even in the Hongcheon Church, and was quiet, only eating faith.
It was doing well when told to be the mascot and security guard there.
“Anything you want to say?”
Hochi asked.
The story between the Hundred Gods Temple and the Pantheon.
This is also something that is not directly related to Earth.
It is a story that is difficult for ordinary humans to understand and interrupt, so I didn’t call Kim Min-hyuk.
It seemed to be enough to tell him that this was happening later.
“… Another war.”
Hochi shook his head as if he was tired.
“Wow!”
Yong-yong was excited.
“… Yong-yong, war is not a good thing.”
“No?”
Hochi, who was shocked to see Yong-yong innocently asking him back, immediately stared at me.
Well, what did I do wrong?
I told him everything I heard from the God of Hope about the war.
Hochi, who was listening quietly, suddenly asked me with a surprised expression.
“The cause of the war is the place called Thanatos?”
“Hmm. It is said to be the estate of the God of Death where its territorial disputes lead to war.”
Of course, that’s not the only reason for the war.
Now, it was strange that all of the Hundred Gods Temple was going out due to the problem of one god’s area.
The timing was also strange.
No matter how hard I thought about it, it seemed to be a war related to the God of Order, who began to be reborn as a transcendent god.
Whether it is to give more power to the God of Order or to keep it in check, I will be sure to go and see it in person.
“If it’s Thanatos, isn’t it there?”
“Huh?”
Hochi said as if he knew a place called Thanatos.
Was there such a place on the Tutorial stage?
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a stage with such a name.
“No, it’s not a tutorial, Lee Jun-seok.”
“Lee Jun-seok?”
“Yes. In the past, you sent him to take care of an annoying quest instead of giving him an item. Wasn’t that Thanatos?”
“… Huh?”
I hurriedly opened the quest window.
[God of Death-Purification of Thanatos (in progress)]
*In Thanatos, the realm of the God of Death, there are increasing numbers of regulars who refuse to comply with justice. Those who were once oppressed in the name of the specters are now being reborn as a new class, not marginalized, in their society.
The God of Death seeks to purify Thanatos and smoothen the flow of order before the whole society is taken over by the regulars.
*You sent Challenger Lee Jun-seok instead of going directly, and the God of Death is very anxious about your passive decision.
“… That’s right, Thanatos. The place where Lee Jun-seok was sent.”
I forgot.
At that time, I sent him without thinking.
As it turned out, it was the place where a massive war between the gods would take place.
Hey, is he still alive?
