500. The Forgotten Goddess (2)
A goddess appears in this world.
The face was exotic. It was definitely beautiful, but there was a sense of distance from the general facial image.
Come to think of it, the goddess disappeared during the war with the old gods. Since it was a long time ago, it was not strange that the human skeleton had changed little by little.
‘Other gods had no sense of heterogeneity.
Is it all right?’
There was nothing strange about being able to change one’s appearance.
While thinking that, I saw the goddess.
The skin was pure white like an albino. Her hair and eyes were the same gray as if she had eaten dust.
Weird, but not unpleasant. It was like watching a master’s work of art.
The goddess sets foot at the bottom of the labyrinth. Akasha groans.
[Arilnan…]
“Akasha.”
The gaze of the goddess turned towards Akasha. The emotions in those eyes were friendship and longing.
“You have become a ring. What happened?”
[Many things… happened.]
“I wonder what happened. Still, it seems that the ego is intact. I thought I would lose my self and wander alone, but I’m glad I did.”
[Are you really… Arylnan?]
“It is me.”
Arilnan proudly declared.
“I am your only master and the one you serve. It is arylnan.”
[Is that so…]
Akasha blurted out her words. Seeing this, Arilnan frowned slightly as if he had noticed something.
“Something is strange. Not the reaction I expected. Could it be that you haven’t completely recovered your memories?”
[sorry. I remember that you were my goddess, but other than that,
there are still fragments.]
“I’m sorry.”
Arilnan muttered with a sad face as if he was genuinely sorry.
“I did a lot to save you, but the person involved doesn’t remember.”
[Sorry.]
“What. done.”
The goddess raised her hand. The white palms of her hands caught the eyes of the goddess.
“I didn’t know that I would come back like this either. It’s trivial that
my loyal servant doesn’t remember me .”
The gaze of the goddess who was examining herself turned to Taesan.
“It’s all thanks to you.”
The goddess looked at Mount Tai.
I couldn’t feel anything in it.
If you want to be a transcendental person, you must have the energy, the high level, and the mighty power. there was nothing It was literally empty.
But only one thing was known.
nobility.
Even if he couldn’t feel anything, anyone could tell that Arilnan was a goddess.
“….you.”
Arilnan’s gaze towards Taesan is distorted. It contains hostility and vigilance.
[Arilnan?]
Akasha moves reflexively. It manifests its power to protect its owner.
Arilnan, who saw this,
looked back and forth between Akasha and Taesan, then nodded as if he had realized it.
“is it. I am no longer your master.”
[Sorry…]
“That’s it. I am nothing now.”
Akasha looked at Mount Tai again and murmured softly.
“You don’t have to worry about it.”
[Yes?]
“This is the story. If he is your master, not someone else,
you can admit it. You are the one who called me to the world. It’s a little reluctant, but I don’t think you need to worry too much about it.”
Arilnan, as if coming to a conclusion, took a polite stance. Even in that series of movements, her nobility was not shaken.
“First of all, I would like to express my gratitude. What is your name?”
“This is Kang Tae-san. You can call it Taesan.”
“okay. Taesan. Thanks to you, I can show myself in this world again.”
“It’s not me, it’s Akasha. She reminded me of Arilnan.”
“no. You are the current owner of Akasha. In the end, it’s all thanks to you. Receive my thanks obediently.”
Arilnan said lightly.
“If so.”
Taesan nodded and opened his mouth.
“Were you conscious when you gave me the quest?”
“no. At that time, I was not fully conscious. It was just an unconscious floating in the air
… but your prayers definitely reached me. Thanks to that, I was able to contact you.”
Arilnan looked around. Looking at the walls and structure of the labyrinth, he muttered with a curious face.
“What is this place anyway? It is quite a foreign sensation.”
“It is a place designed by wizards.”
“Wizard?”
“Since he has changed his name now, he is probably someone Arilnan-nim knows.”
“Hmm.”
Arilnan approached the wall of the labyrinth. I examined the brick with an interesting face.
Taesan opened his mouth.
“Arilnan-nim.”
“You have become respectful.”
Arilnan said while sweeping the walls of the labyrinth.
“Now I am not a goddess. You seem to have reached the level of transcendence, so if you look at it in terms of rank, you are higher. Rather, it is a position where I have to show respect.”
“no. I have no intention of doing that.”
Taesan immediately refused. Arilnan grinned.
“That’s good. I wondered what it would be like if he really said to be respectful.”
‘It’s more flimsy than I thought.’
Akasha’s tone and tone showed cruelty and coldness. So I thought Arilnan would be similar to him, but it wasn’t. Arilnan was rather mischievous.
“You seem to have a lot of questions for me. ask me I will answer anything possible.”
“If so.”
Taesan quickly organized his thoughts and opened his mouth.

“What was the goddess originally in charge of?”
Essential said. If the existence of Akasha was left behind after being swallowed up by the usurper, it would have been an existence that originally controlled concepts.
Arilnan replied.
“I am all.”
Part of the language is erased from the world.
It is not spit out as if it is a concept that does not exist in this world .
I tried to read the shape of my mouth, but even that was impossible.
Arilnan muttered without much agitation.
“Did you just get a name? The usurped concept never came back.”
“…It’s a pity.”
“It was expected. I didn’t think it would ever regain its original power. For now, this is enough.”
“Who made the goddess that way?”
“It is a usurper.”
Arilnan’s mouth came out with a name that did not deviate from Taesan’s expectations.
“I lost everything to the usurper in the war against Gosin. an apostle who serves me. All my fragments and traces were erased from the universe, leaving only one Akasha.”
“As expected.”
“what. Did you know?”
“I wasn’t sure.”
Taesan asked again.
“Then do you remember him?”
“You are asking something strange. I am not weak enough to forget the one who ate me.”
Taishan’s eyes shone.
usurper.
He fought directly with the deceased and even remembered about him. He could have known more about the usurper than the Essential.
“Looks like you’re curious about the usurper. Don’t let me answer you.”
“thank you.”
usurper.
The one who usurps the world.
Taesan had a hunch that something had to do with him.
“What should I say? Except for appearances that don’t make any sense. That bastard usurps this world. It can swallow and control everything in the universe, including concepts. Even so, it’s just an imitation, but it’s impossible to do anything else.”
Up to that point, I had heard from Essential. Arilnan continued.
“The other gods will know this far
. But from here on, only I know the information.”
Arilnan sneered.
“It longs for this world.”
“…Are you longing?”
“It’s something I didn’t even know. But as soon as I was eaten by the usurper, a part of my feelings came to me. As a result, I found out That the usurper yearns for and desires this universe. O ”
Longing. It was
a word that did not go well with Gosin
.
“Perhaps there is a reason for wanting to usurp the world. But that’s impossible. After all, he is an old god. It’s a twisted existence from the beginning. No matter how much you eat it, it’s just an imitation.”
Arilnan chuckled. There was deep contempt for the usurper in that smile.
“And I mean. I was going to tell you after all your questions, but I just can’t stand it.”
Arilnan
looked at Mount Tai with a smile on his face.
“I don’t know why, but you smell like him.”
“…from me?”
“Now I have lost my strength. But once I became one with the usurper. That’s why I’ve come to know and feel a lot about him.
”
His narrowed eyes ■ look toward Mount Tae.
“You smell like him. It’s a faint smell that you wouldn’t notice if you weren’t paying attention… but it definitely exists.”
“…Is that so.”
“Do you have any guesses?”
“It is not that there is none.”
Images of himself passed through Taesan’s mind.
“It’s not that much of an annoyance. Literally the level of smell. But
originally, even that wouldn’t be possible.”
Arilnan let out a small laugh.
“So I was suspicious of you at first.”
It was because of that that he had the initial hostility and intent to kill Taesan.
“I thought the usurper had sneaked in hiding his identity. But that’s not it. It’s twisted… but at least it’s hard to see it that way. I’m not sure, but at least I don’t think it’s my business.”
Arilnan straightened her waist.
“It’s your own problem, so figure it out yourself.”
“thank you.”
“What? I am grateful for everything.”
She chuckled.
“You saved me. That fact doesn’t change. So, you have to repay him.”
The goddess’s fingers point to Taishan’s head. Warmth lightly touched and then fell.
“I think this is possible. take it.”
[God’s Blessing [The Nameless Goddess’

has evolved into a God’s Blessing [
Arilnan ‘s Blessing]] All blessings are integrated and become one. And its rank and power become stronger.
“I want to give you my true power, but it’s still not enough.”
“Is it impossible to recover at all? If it was people’s faith…
If it was Taesan now, it could have created faith for Arilnan. However
, Arilnan shook his head.
“You can’t do me with such a small concept. Although twisted and lost, my root is a concept.”
“Is that so.”
“Still, there is no way. I said That I was one with it. As a result, I learned a secret.”
Arilnan laughs quietly.
“The usurper usurps the universe. But you can’t make it your own. Then, where are the things he usurped
?”
Taesan’s eyes twitched.
“Not right now.”
Arilnan muttered quietly.
“I still need time. Right now I am too weak and my memory is not perfect like Akasha. So please, for the time being.”
[Special quest begins.]
[ Goddess. Arilnan
hopes to get back what he lost. For him, it is necessary to further stabilize her personality and power.]
[Condition: Arilnan must remember that he was usurped.]
[Reward: Arilnan’s strengthened blessing. And a related quest.]
Taesan nodded.
Once the story has been sorted out. At the same time, Barbabamba appeared.
[I made you wait. It took a little effort, but it was roughly sorted out. Then, to my point…]
Barbababamba hesitated.
There was an arylnan in that line of sight. Arilnan
greeted Barbabamba with a curious face.
“Is that a tool made by a wizard? This is amazing.”
[…what is this again?]
Barbabamba’s puzzled voice rang out.
Level up with skill
