Episode 207
The tentacle mass begins to evaporate!
I couldn’t help but feel so relieved to see the person who had put me through so much trouble falling apart.
X shrugged his shoulders and checked the notification that came to mind.
[You have defeated ‘Another Imperfect Being’ for the first time in Fate World!]
[Your reputation increases by 25,000 points!]
[You have acquired the title ‘Seed of Hope’!]
“The reward seems a bit too small compared to the hardship.”
The mass of tentacles left no loot behind. Since it wasn’t treated as a monster, it didn’t spit out experience points.
But soon,
Effect of a new title!
[Seed of Hope: Fate World has chosen you.]
“...It looks like there’s something really special just by looking at it, right?”
Seeds of hope!
As you can see, there was no effect.
However, he is not an ordinary person, but Fate World chose him!
Furthermore, if the seed becomes the cotyledon of hope, the flower of hope, and the fruit, wouldn’t something like beans fall?
At that time, X was full of expectations.
Tiroling! The notification rang again.
[Heaven is paying attention to your moves!]
[The favorability of the God of Sacrifice has increased significantly!]
[The favorability of the God of Courage has increased slightly!] [The favorability of the God of Clowns has increased significantly!]
[The favorability of the God of Fate has increased significantly!
There has been a significant decline!]
A surge of interest from heaven!
“I’m somewhat embarrassed.”
This made me feel like I was one step closer to heaven.
The god of sacrifice probably refers to Sacridia. As for the rest of the gods, there was no guessing.
X’s brow furrowed.
‘God of fate? ‘Do you have feelings for me?’
Favorability fell not just slightly, but drastically. I began to suspect that there might be other forces in the heavens as well.
Ex shook his head.
“Well, it’s not important right now.”
And I had no intention of clinging to a god who didn’t like me.
The tentacle mass has completely disappeared.
As he disappeared, the stigma of destruction engraved on the floor caught my eye.
Jijijijik! The stigma was burning away quickly thanks to Sacredia’s prayers.
“Kyunut!”
There’s something here.
Yongyong flapped his wings and called out to X.
Where Yongyong pointed, there was a small tentacle. It looked like a black earthworm.
The tentacles were anxiously crawling towards somewhere.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t plan on missing it.”
You never know what kind of trouble this little guy might cause.
To make sure the end was over, I trampled on him.
After seeing the tentacles that had also evaporated, X raised his head.
The World Tree could be seen at a glance from far away.
“Anyway, you saved it?”
Cut off the world tree and protect the continent!
I wanted to cheer, but I couldn’t get it out of my mouth easily.
Black Fairy’s Pond This is the headquarters where large-scale human sacrifices took place.
Because extreme damage was visible.
Sacridia was still praying.
“Shall we wait?”
“Kyuuu.”
“Why did you become so much stronger than that? “It’s unfamiliar.”
It’s all because of the weak owner.
Yongyong muttered in a way that X couldn’t understand. As expected, when I was with X, I felt more comfortable babbling than speaking.
X dealt with creatures that had lost their purpose and were wandering.
“It’s a pity, but even with my power, I can’t return them to their original state.”
Because there was an explanation from Sacredia.
There was no significant movement among the creatures.
First, I prioritized taking down the guys I saw around me.
Anyway, I wondered if there were any people who survived the terrible scene.
“Where have the other beings disappeared to?”
From the Forest of Spirits to the Mountains of Giants and the Land of the Dwarves!
I’m sorry, but what Red Mask said about completely cutting off communication seemed to be wrong.
It was a little late, but as you can see, there were people who ran like this.
Eyes focused on him, X leisurely welcomed the guests.
“I think this is going to be a long story, so why don’t you take a seat first?”
*
Tadadak!
There was an awkward atmosphere in the audience, as if the burning bonfire was not enough.
Those gathered did not feel comfortable in this place. Denis was friendly with the dwarves, but Launis was different.
There was no mention of giants and dwarves.
Paltitan opened his mouth.
“We joined after hearing the news from Launis.”
“I was just wondering, and you were here as expected.”
“I thought you would have reacted to other beings faster than me.”
Launis said he moved as quickly as possible.
Because of the distance, it seems it took some time to notice the presence. X also understood because he had seen the dwarves.
X explained the incident step by step.
While looking around the land of the dwarves, he sensed the alien energy of another being and ran straight to find that a human sacrifice was taking place at the Black Fairy’s pond.
Paltitan sighed.
“I expected an incident to occur, but I never thought it would be like this. “It was natural for the World Tree to feel threatened.”
Launis blamed himself.
“How can you not notice the presence and activities of a worshiper for such a long time? It’s completely my fault. “You and Yongyong are dishonorable.”
The already awkward atmosphere became even heavier.
This is how I feel like I’m going to get sick even after eating.
X changed the topic. The battle with the Red Mask was vividly described.
Burkandal showed interest.
“The goddess of heaven came down to reality?”
“goddess?”
“That is not something that can happen often, but it seems like your actions provided a huge impetus for her descent. “It’s unthinkable that we could defeat him through cooperation with Heaven.”
The relatively young giants did not seem to know much about the goddess.
On the other hand, Launis was saying the same thing as Sacridia.
But that only lasted a moment.
X cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“Why does it seem like I’m the only one talking excitedly?”
Launis answered honestly.
“X, as you know, our relationship is not very good. That also applies to the Ancient Dragons who are not here.”
Some kind of incident in the past caused a rift between them.
However, X learned that the incident was planned by Red Mask.
“I have something to tell you.”
X told the story about him. Then the faces of the crowd became serious.
“...Is that true now?”
“There is no reason to lie.”
Crack.
X put the prepared ingredients into the pot and asked.
“So what happened in the past?”
No one opened their mouths easily even when asked a question. Rather, he seemed to be in even greater trouble.
Before long, Launis opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind.
Some kind of incident was on a much larger scale than expected.
“In the past, we fought a war over ownership of the World Tree.”
A war for the world tree!
Only then did I begin to understand Burkandal’s words that it was everyone’s responsibility.
Tak X’s hand that was cutting the meat stopped. Even though Mt. Geumgang is also a beautiful sight after eating, now was the time to listen to the story.
Launis smiled bitterly.
“The more I think about it, the darker the history becomes and the more I want to hide it.”
Launis began to talk calmly about what he had felt in the past.
He said that the belief that the world tree should be managed was distorted at some point.
No sooner had he finished speaking than those gathered in the room nodded at the same time.
Launis continued.
“Yes, everyone on the disconnected continent thought the same thing. Half-humans, half-beasts, spirit giants, dwarfs, black fairies, dragons, and even the elves who have now completely disappeared.”
“...!”
An elf?
At that one word, X’s ears perked up violently.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
