Player returns after 10,000 years Chapter 482
Unmasking (1)
…What happened?
Kangwoo asked while looking at Gaia, who felt somewhat haggard.
I could see her eyes quivering.
As if trying to forget something,
he shook his head with his eyes tightly closed.
Baal… attacked Olympus.
A deeply sunken voice.
Kang Woo slowly closed his eyes. Baal attacked Olympus.
I was able to understand the whole situation with just that one sentence.
‘Is that how it happened?
Communication with the divine world was suddenly cut off. The presence of
the unknown gods who went to
the ruined Olympus
.
All of that was explained by the name ‘Baal’.
As for the other gods… are they all eaten?
If Baal had raided Olympus, he was right in judging that everything was eaten by him.
Because they would have attacked Olympus to eat the gods in the first place. no that’s not it Gaia shook her head. ‘No?’
Kang Woo narrowed his eyebrows.
Of course, some gods were eaten, but most of them survived and were being treated at the World Tree.
It was the first time I had heard that divine injuries could be recovered from the World Tree, but
that wasn’t the important thing in the current situation.
‘Most… lived?
Kang-woo tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand.
‘why?’
A question came to mind.
Baal raided Olympus while he was fighting the parasitic king.
Baal, like himself, has the power of prey, so the purpose must have been to plunder and absorb the godhead.
‘Then why didn’t he kill me?’
The back and forth didn’t match. Kang Woo narrowly opened his eyes.
I felt I was missing something.
At that moment, Leila’s words came to mind.
-Probably, given that my body is fine, nothing happened to Gaia-sama.
Kang Woo lowered his head and looked at Gaia.
As Leila said, there was nothing particularly scarring on her body. … ah.
A short exclamation flowed out.
I had forgotten the first question that should come to my mind when I heard that Baal had attacked Olympus.
‘How was Gaia able to survive?’
If Baal attacked Olympus aiming for a godhead,
the target he would most drool over was Gaia, who had the highest level of godhood.
but didn’t catch it There’s no way I couldn’t catch it.
No matter how much Gaia was a being with the highest level of divinity, there was no way she could win against Baal. ‘I see.’
Kang Woo nodded as if he finally understood.
In the first place, it was a misunderstanding of the former.
‘I didn’t attack Olympus aiming for godhood.’
Baal
had a different purpose. What happened to Baal?
Gaia was silent with her mouth firmly shut.
He looked up at Kang Woo with anxious, trembling eyes.
I nervously pursed my lips, then continued my last words.
While Baal was raiding Olympus… he suddenly escaped.
did you run away?
that’s right
Gaia answered while avoiding Kang Woo’s gaze.
Kang Woo let out a small laugh.
Did you really run away?
back. Gaia’s fist was tightly clenched. Miss Gaia.
Kangwoo squatted on the floor and met Gaia’s gaze.
what happened? Saying that, he slowly reached out his hand towards Gaia’s tightly clenched fist.
Oops!
widely!
Gaia was frightened and cut off the hand that was approaching her.
…Miss Gaia? Kang Woo’s expression softened slightly. Ah… I’m sorry. it’s my child Gaia bowed her head in confusion.
He licked his lips and spoke in a hoarse voice.
Ba Baal is talking nonsense. bullshit?
Gaia nodded heavily. Yes. Baal
says you’re… yes, a demon of prophecy.
Then he showed me the scene of you fighting the king of gisaengs or the scene of destroying the phantom continent.
…yes?
The feeling of being slapped hard on the back of the head.
Kangwoo looked down at Gaia, who was trembling thinly with her eyes wide open.
‘What the fuck.’
I barely suppressed the disgust that was about to come out of my mouth.
My head was dizzy. Thoughts were tangled like a complex tangled skein of thread.
‘Baal you crazy bastard.’
The thought of having been hit crossed my head the most.
And then… Did you say Kim Taehyun? He also showed me fighting with the boy.
Kang Woo slowly closed his eyes.
I took a rough breath and slowly unraveled the tangled threads of thought.
I could feel my hot head cooling down.
‘how?’
Even while fighting the king of gisaengs and overpowering Taehyung Kim, I never felt that someone was watching me.
No matter how preoccupied with the battle, there was no way that he could not have noticed that someone was secretly watching.
‘If I hadn’t watched it, how could it be…’
Then a flash flashed through my mind.
…the law of the titans.’
Titanic Law.
An existence called “system” among players.
The system knows what every player is doing, when and where.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible to immediately give rewards when catching monsters or leveling up.
–
And Baal has the authority to interfere with the system.’
Kang Woo twisted his expression roughly.
I could understand why he didn’t feel the presence.
What was watching him was the ‘rules’ themselves that encompassed the entire world.
…..
–
Kang Woo stared at Gaia with cold eyes.
Of course I didn’t believe that. Aren’t all of them manipulated videos, of course?.
Gaia spoke in a voice full of anxiety.
His earnest eyes seemed to beg him to deny it quickly and to say that he was right.
You… my precious child… can’t be the devil of prophecy.
A thin trembling voice.
Eyes full of longing.
Kang-woo stared into her eyes, which trembled anxiously.
Why why is there no answer Come on, come on, tell me no! Gaia
said while holding
Kangwoo’s collar carefully .
Kang Woo narrowly opened his eyes. He calmly continued his thoughts. ‘It’s not difficult to cover up right now. It was simple.
Everything is a manipulated video, and it’s enough if you catch it and say that you’ve never been like that.
Isn’t it really simple?
‘Because I’ll see what I want to see and hear what I want to hear anyway.
Gaia values herself. I believe it is the hope to save the world.
So
logic won’t be very important to her. ‘But in the end doubts will remain.
If it’s a very certain original, it’s meaningless to make excuses.
Even if you ignore it because it is a manipulated video, there will be a sprout of doubt in your heart.
and its seeds.
…will devour Gaia. Kangwoo understood
why Baal had to show the video only to Gaia .
Baal intervened in the system and obtained a video of himself opening the Demon Sea.
He also obtained the image of Kim Tae-hyeon, who destroyed the Hwan Continent and cried out calling himself the devil of prophecy.
No, maybe even the things that happened before that were in my hands.
‘however.’
There is no reason to show the video to just one person.
If you really want to reveal your identity, it’s enough to make the video available to as many beings as possible.
‘I mean, I didn’t intend to tell the truth in the first place.
There is a purpose other than simply exposing one’s identity. am i my child…? He looked down at Gaia, who was looking up at him with trembling eyes, with his hands neatly placed in front of his chest.
She said that the video Baal showed her was, of course, fabricated, but her eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.
It would be meaningless to simply say ‘that video is a manipulated video’ in order to remove the seeds of deep-rooted doubt in her mind.
‘I’ll have to do another tear show.’ From directing to preliminary work for story plausibility.
It took several times as much effort to erase the doubt that had once settled in her.
And in the end, those bloody efforts will lose their meaning.
As long as the authority of the Titanic Law rests with Baal. ah is that so
Kang Woo muttered in a low voice. I vaguely guessed what Baal’s purpose was.
under.
A dejected laugh came out.
‘therefore.
You want to see me struggle, right?
You want to sit back and watch while eating chicken, right?
Pooh.
I couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Pooh! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!
He crouched down, holding his stomach. He twitched his lips and brushed his hair. Baal, Baal. Now, with an expression full of anticipation , he speaks to his enemy who is watching this .
What a pity for this hat.
why do you keep doing that
you want to follow me
Taking a step back and looking down at the world as if contemplating.
To achieve one’s purpose by playing with the psychology of others with one’s heart.
To rule the situation by sitting on top of your head as if it were the black screen of an event. Everything
Baal is trying to do now
is what the demon named ‘Oh Kang-woo’ has done in hell.
Pooh! Hehehehehehe!
He shrugged and burst into laughter.
The old Baal was not like that.
I didn’t have the personality to use my head, nor the ability to do so.
It was more like a beast driven by intuition and instinct.
There must be one reason why Baal twisted the situation in such a complicated and heinous manner.
Did you think that if you imitate me…
you can become like me? you are a man
shit.
Kang Woo twisted his lips.
Nothing.
giggle
He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
‘You want to see me struggling?
That’s funny. ‘Okay, I’ll show you.
Take a good look and learn. Why are you like this all of a sudden? i am my child
Gaia asked with a pale expression as she
suddenly raised her head and saw Kang Woo talking to herself in the air .
Looking at her brown eyes, Kang Woo opened his mouth.
It’s not a manipulated video.
A death-like silence fell. … what?
Gaia’s eyes widened. The video you saw through the system window wasn’t manipulated.
Kang Woo smiled brightly.
Gaia trembled and shook her head.
i am my child Why is that? In case
you are threatened by Baal.
Kang Woo clicked his tongue and slowly approached Gaia.
He raised his right hand and covered his face.
slowly.
slowly.
wipe your face
where the hand passed.
that’s right.
Black eyes, yellow eyes, pupils that were torn horizontally.
The corners of the mouth were torn up to the bottom of the ears, and sharp teeth sprouted between them.
Everything Baal said is true.
A solid mask made of countless lies
that had covered his face until now .
I.
throw off
