Chapter 417 Mysterious Enemy

Chapter 417 Mysterious Enemy

It has been four hours since the Egg of Disaster hatched. However, there's one thing that was bugging me.

"... The Void Beast isn't moving?"

I had Ember keep watch over its movement, but ever since it emerged, it stayed rooted on the spot, not moving a single muscle, as if it were dead or asleep.

"Is it waiting for something?"

That was the only thing I could think of. After all, its eyes looked crazy enough already. There's no way it would stay put and not go around killing everything it set its eyes upon.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Somehow, rather than being thankful that it was staying put, I felt more pressure.

When will it move? Can we even stop it?

Anyway, rather than thinking about that, we should do our best to prepare our defenses.

"And to do that, first, is our task of fixing the barrier between the real world and the Otherside!"

Azrael requested that of me first thing after we returned from heaven. I am curious as to how the barrier between the real world and the Otherside even works.

Since everyone was busy manning their new positions, I couldn't simply summon God Zeshion to my side. Instead, I decided to go to where he was instead, planning for it to be a change of pace for me.

I teleported to the northmost border, the one that was assigned to Goddess Blanc. After all, Zeshion was also there, resting after using his energy nonstop, together with Goddess Zeta, to teleport entire kingdoms.

Although they had earned that well-deserved rest, jobs that only they could do were chasing them.

After teleporting to the northernmost camp, which Ember gave me the coordinates of, I quickly moved to the biggest tent around. As soon as I entered, I found God Zeshion, with an open mouth, being fed a single piece of grape by Goddess Zeta.

The two were all smiling up until I entered.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Silence spread as an awkward atmosphere formed around them.

"A-Ahem, sorry for interrupting you. Please continue."

"Right. To fix it probably means to regain its lost functions. You know how the system got locked out after everyone with administrator rights died, right?"

I nodded my head.

When I gave Zeshion his administrator rights, I do recall him telling me the story behind it.

"Actually, even after you brought back administration rights for the system, there are still a few functions that remained locked. They were the last five functions of the system."

Hegemony, Harmony, Ruler's Crown, God's Master, and Sanctuary. Excluding the Life and Death Simulation, which was reserved for only the System's Crowned Successor, they were the last five functions of the system... or so Zeshion explained.

So the rest of the functions have such powerful-sounding names. I wonder what their effect is. Before I could begin to guess, Zeshion continued talking, even while he was still chewing the new morsel of grapes fed to him by Goddess Zeta.

"And to fix the World Barrier, I think we'd need to regain what was lost... Will, as the System's Crowned Successor, you need to nurture at least one god-level tamed monster. If you do that, then the system would (probably) recover."

"Wait, what did you just whisper?"

This guy's not even sure of it!

"I can't help it. Even though I have extensive knowledge about the system, such information has already been lost since ancient times. Right now, the best I could do is only to guess."

Well, he's got a point. After all, even Fatima was clueless about this World Barrier thing. Do I really need to nurture a god-

level now?

"...!"

I suddenly felt a chill. I turned to glance at Goddess Zeta, and even though she was not muttering a single word, I could basically tell what she wanted to say: "The talk is over. Scram!"

I quickly read the atmosphere and smiled at Zeshion, giving my thanks as I slipped away. Even after I teleported away, I could still see her gaze on my back. D*mn, is her period not over yet? What an unstable woman!

*POW!*

"OUCH!"

A mysterious hand appeared and slapped the back of my head. Without even much thought, I realized who the owner was. Yep, I better not diss her in my internal monologue.

While soothing the small bump behind my head, I began to ponder my next step.

"Nurture a god, huh?"

What should I do?
