Chapter 324

The outdoor terrace lounge of the central building, overlooking the landscape of the Celestial Corporation.

Demiarios maintained a neat posture while glancing at his ‘boss’ sitting across from him.

No matter how much he was a director with only eight people in his department, the person in front of him was someone who could easily surpass him.

It was not simply a matter of different factions.

He was the one who helped and guided him to rise to this place.

“It’s been more than two weeks since Kang Yu-hyun teller went to the exile site.”

As if he had been waiting for him to say that, Demiarios opened his mouth.

“Yes. But even so, there is still no news, so I wonder if he also followed the same path as his predecessors.”

“I guess so. That place is not a place where you can survive easily. No. It’s not a matter of being easy. It’s a ‘terrible’ place that you can say ‘definitely’.”

“But, I’m curious. Why did Kang Yu-hyun deputy manager say that he would go there himself in front of the chairman?”

Demiarios still did not understand the attitude that Yu-hyun showed at the end.

He realized something deep while talking to Yu-hyun.

This man always had a smiling face on the outside, but inside he had a cunningness that even he could not be careless about.

Knowing that, he set traps, gathered evidence, and pushed his sins in front of the chairman.

But Kang Yu-hyun calmly assessed the situation without much surprise.

‘It’s an attitude that can’t be seen unless you know something.’

Demiarios was bothered by that.

He wondered if Yu-hyun knew something about the exile site.

“Director. Is there any chance that he knows something...”

“There’s no such thing. No, even if he knows something, what does it matter? Demiarios. Did you forget? What’s there is Georen.”

“I know. How can I not know when we are the ones who made that world like that.”

Demiarios stroked his smooth skin made of tentacles and muttered lowly.

“We corrupted that Divine Spirit and made the world like that and used it as an exile site to eliminate our enemies.”

The person sitting across from him laughed at the shocking truth.

“That’s right. And Georen is the executioner who cuts off the necks of those we sent to that exile site.”

The ‘director’ level teller shrugged his shoulders as if recalling the past 32 years ago.

“He was an interesting Divine Spirit. He had such a great power, but he said he wanted to make a successor who couldn’t live his whole life, let alone have one. Yeah. That’s why he ended up like this.”

“I don’t know much about what happened then, but what happened?”

Demiarios did not know even the most essential part of the truth of the exile site, although he was a teller who knew it.

He only joined later and checked the status of the exile site and devised ways to lead the world to despair.

In fact, from the insiders to the most core figures, it was not him but the existence in front of him.

“Are you curious? Well, now that you’re a director, it’s too harsh to not know anything.”

“I’ll listen carefully.”

“You must have heard and know this? Georen was a very powerful Divine Spirit, but he was very strange because his personality was different from others.”

“In what way was he strange?”

“He tried to raise a successor with his powerful power. Not just a follower who trusts and follows him, but a successor who can become another Divine Spirit. Yeah. That stupid guy wanted to have a child.”

“In fact, it means trying to force a new Divine Spirit to be created.”

A Divine Spirit creates a Divine Spirit.

Demiarios also knew how serious this matter was.

In fact, among most of the existing third-generation Divine Spirits, there were hardly any who were born naturally.

“Demiarios. As you know, pure-blooded Divine Spirits are only second-generation at best. The third generation is nothing but by-products that occurred indiscriminately afterwards.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

The third-generation Divine Spirits were mostly born under the influence of first- and second-generation Divine Spirits.

Demigods born from first- and second-generation Divine Spirits, or those who automatically rose to the rank of stars by receiving great stories and gifts from them.

It is common to say that third-generation Divine Spirits were ‘made’.

They hated that word to death, but it was an undeniable fact.

“The Great Army wanted to mass-produce third-generation Divine Spirits to increase their power. In fact, there was one place where they did it very actively.”

“Olympus...you mean.”

The director nodded his head.

This story was still well-known to everyone even after a long time had passed.

The number of third-generation Divine Spirits created by the ruler of Olympus in Great Army exceeded dozens of times that of other places.

The regulation of the system to prevent the indiscriminate birth of third-generation Divine Spirits came out because of that.

“Lower world, in the language of Earth, the vein we were aiming for, did they say ‘nuclear non-proliferation treaty’? It’s exactly like that.”

If there was a difference, it was that nuclear weapons were definitely threatening by themselves, but third-generation Divine Spirits had a huge variation in their levels.

It was then.

Demiarios received a message in front of him.

He excused himself for a moment and checked the message.

He showed a clear sign of agitation even with his octopus face.

“...Director. You have to see this.”

Demiarios said that and showed him the screen.

It was a war on a white snowfield.

***

“Maintain your positions!”

“Runestones! Take out the runestones you brought!”

The warriors of Gard were ambushed, but they only panicked for a moment.

They came here to fight. And they raised their weapons to end this hellish place.

The warriors could not tolerate being attacked any longer.

Their boiling blood would not allow it.

“Throw the runestones!”

“Don’t let your hands be idle!”

They each took out the runestones they had been assigned and threw them at the frost giants simultaneously.

The surface of the runestones burned hotly and then exploded in intense flames as they collided with the frost giants.

The frost giants that were hit by the runestones melted away with a white steam from the parts that were touched.

The runestones were originally something close to fuel that was used to ignite fire, but Gondulbor added a new formula to them. The thin and long burning runestones became bombs that could explode and release a large amount of heat in an instant.

“The special runestones are effective!”

“Don’t aim for the body! Aim for the neck! The melted body will regenerate!”

The frost giants whose heads had melted from the runestones fell to the ground, but those who were not affected regenerated their melted bodies.

The warriors did not miss the opportunity and cut off the necks of the fallen frost giants.

“Hah! Hah! How does it taste, you monsters!”

“We’ll kill the rest of you too!”

The Gardians shouted confidently, but their expressions were not so good.

The number of frost giants was more than the runestones they had brought, no matter how few they estimated.

They were still filling their sight and rushing at them.

“Don’t let your guard down!”

A hot flame spewed out and swept away the frost giants.

Gondulbor used all the rune magic he could while being escorted.

“Hold on until Lean defeats Georen!”

Three frost giants were running towards Gondulbor.

Even the mindless frost giants sensed instinctively that Gondulbor was a very important person.

At that moment, Yu-hyun, who was guarding Gondulbor, moved.

He took advantage of the frost giants’ attention being focused on Gondulbor and swiftly swung his sword.

The bodies of the frost giants who lost their heads in an instant rolled on the ground.

“Th-thank you!”

“You’re welcome!”

“I never thought I’d say this to someone who looks like my master!”

Gondulbor grumbled while drawing a new rune in the air.

Yu-hyun protected Gondulbor and dealt with the approaching frost giants one by one.

‘It’s hard.’

He was fighting by squeezing out his strength, and it was not an ordinary fatigue.

The number of frost giants was large. And each one of them was stronger than the Gardian warriors.

They were barely holding on by using the runestones, but even so, the casualties were increasing.

If they ran out of runestones, it would be irreversible.

So Lean had to somehow defeat Georen in the meantime...

“Le-Lean!”

Someone’s scream and Yu-hyun’s eyes unknowingly turned there.

And what he saw was Lean flying back after being hit by Georen’s fist.

“No!”

Was it as Kang Yu-hyun or as Kaira’s body?

Yu-hyun ran towards Lean without knowing it, leaving his position.
