Chapter 523

523 Encounter with the Light G.o.d.

January 23, 2022

Anote: (Happy New Year and best wishes for the year ahead.)

How can I meet Light G.o.d using [G.o.ds Comforter]?

While bearing that question in mind, I borrowed the Comforter from Rokuko and went to sleep, then I found myself in a white s.p.a.ce.

well, I guess this is inside a dream.

Yo Kehma. Its been a long time.

Light G.o.d was there waving at me. In this dream well, its a dream, but at the same time, its not, is it? Ugh, this is getting a little confusing.

I couldnt make out his expression because he was glowing, but I could tell he was probably smiling. Hes just too dazzling.

Hmm? You seem to be confused. Is this the first time youve used that Comforter?

Not really. Ive used them a few times, but

Oh, I see. Oh, so youve been on the [used] side all this time.

[Used]? What do you mean by that?

That Comforter has a function to summon the person you choose, or in Kehmas words, it allows you to designate a hug pillow.

So youre saying thats how I can meet G.o.d? Do I just need to sleep while thinking I would meet Light G.o.d?

If its someone whose soul has returned to the wheel of life, then its impossible. On the other hand, if it is still possible to physically meet the person, you will certainly meet them in the dream world. You can alter various causes and effects by inviting them using the Comforter. Once you use this function, you cant use it for a year. you should try it if theres someone you want to meet.

Light G.o.d also added if you invite a G.o.d, your invitation could be rejected, and it will be a year before you can try again.

Then I guess it wouldnt work for Leona, the Chaos G.o.d.

umm? The ability to share the same dream doesnt mean that when someone uses [G.o.ds Comforter], they will share their dream with the designated person. Or rather, the other person is an individual who got forcibly summoned into a dream.

So, in short, its like a remote meeting through a dream.

Oh? dont you remember who used you? No I guess you already knew.

You certainly do, fufu, I see its a child of the Dark G.o.d. Anyway, its the owners choice whether to keep the dream as memory or not or make it seem like it was a dream. However, one of those effects is certain to occur. So, if you dont remember, you know what it means.

I know

Rokuko, we need to have some talk after I get back. Since I had used this with her, Twice, it was after the dungeon battle and at Hakus place.

Light G.o.d then pulls out two white one-seater sofas. He sat down on one and urged me to sit on the other.

Well, sit down, dont worry, I wont take your memory and eat you like your dungeon core.

Thank you, excuse me then.

Its refres.h.i.+ng to hear you use proper honorifics.

Im sorry, I was so sleepy just now.

Nah~, its okay. Consider that as payback because I sent you with your Hero skills sealed.

I apologized briefly, and Light G.o.d easily forgave me. And thats also a fact. I couldnt use my skill until I broke my first dungeon core.

So you can seal our hero skills or something like that.

Of course, I can; Im the [father] of the Heroes, you know? Much like the Dark G.o.d is the [father] of the dungeon cores. Though I dont bother to hold Hero Gathering as he did.

Im glad you didnt. If you did the Hero Gathering, I cant hide the fact that Im also Hero from Wataru.

And once he recognizes me as a Hero, I can a.s.sure you that things will become even more annoying than they already are; thats why I will continue to hide it.

You know what? That Dark G.o.d, you know, hes very meticulous. He makes all the food and drinks himself. Why dont he outsource it as he did with mail function?

About the mail function I never expect it will reach Light G.o.d.

The Dark G.o.d bragged about it and pushed it on me. It was very annoying.

I wondered if they were close enough to be pushy and annoying. But at least he made it sound like they were as close as bad friends.

I thought dungeons and heroes were a proxy war between the Dark G.o.d and the Light G.o.d, but it seems theyre not at odds with each other at all. Should I confirm this?

What youre doing is not a proxy war between us.

Did you just read my mind?

Youre in a dream. I know what youre thinking. And it would be best if you didnt get the wrong idea. Since he is good at building things, hes always getting into Creators good sides. Im not too fond of that side of him. So you can say were much or less an enemy.

Creation G.o.d. Its a G.o.d with a higher position than Dark and Light G.o.d.

Simply put, what were doing is the work that Creation G.o.d asked us to do.. One should build dungeons, and one should destroy them with heroes. If destruction and creation are well balanced, the world will develop nicely. The other worlds summoned heroes also will contribute by bringing in culture.

so we were G.o.ds subcontractors?

Its more like a relations.h.i.+p between a president and an employee. In your case, since you work for both, youre more like a spy or an operative.

Im a spy. If Im a spy Which side am I spying for?

Well, considering what I know, it seems Im a spy from the Light G.o.d to the Dark G.o.d.

Ah right. What do you mean when you say the Pope is a dungeon core?

Thats exactly what it means. Whats so hard to understand?

does that mean hes a spy too?

His dungeon is in the territory of what is now known as the Holy Kingdom. To survive, his best bet was to hide the dungeon with authority. But unfortunately, the one who got Popes throne also got a way of contacting me, which forced him to side with meI wish it were that simple.

And the Light G.o.d shrugs his shoulder.

He was planning to take the place of the Dark G.o.d, and he was rather proactive in contacting me. The G.o.d of Light religion. Originally, the Holy Kingdom was prepared by my oracle to support the heroes, but because of this, the number of heroes summoned to the Holy Kingdom is so small you can count them in one hand. Im also sick and tired of him.

Is thats the reason why are you giving us this info?

You really are the perfect spy, arent you? Or, in this case, a bridge between the two camps, I should say.

I dont want to antagonize either the Dark G.o.d or the Light G.o.d, so please do use me as the bridge.

Good. So, what do you want to know? Ill tell you. Ill tell you what I know.

Im not sure if hell tell me the truth, but Ill leave it to Haku to judge the truth and just tell her, Light G.o.d told me.

Im more of a Homing Pigeon than a spy, arent I? But thats okay.

So what is the Popes true ident.i.ty, and what type of dungeon core is it?

Oh, he called himself Core Number Four or something. He was humanoid, but he called himself a slime-type core.

After saying that, Light G.o.d exhales.

well, its a lie, though. Did he think he could deceive me, the Light G.o.d? The fourth core is the one that stole the first saints hero. Theres no way I could have made a mistaken them Utterly foolish that one is.

Then Light G.o.d reveals the true ident.i.ty of the Pope this time.

He is core number 10, an undead core.
