Chapter 564: The Promise

Davey's expression hardened at Kain's words.

"Its not that surprising that the Abyss is moving."

"No, what I mean is that the entire Abyss has begun to mobilize. They've decided it's challenging to harm you with the power of individual entities, so now they're preparing to attack you with full force."

Davey slowly narrowed his eyes as he rose to his feet. He then casually waved his hand, casting a silence spell around them.

"How can you know about that?"

"Valkyries were originally created to battle the Abyss."

Davey slightly raised his brows at this unexpected revelation. Kain seemed different from the otherscompetent and potentially useful, yet there was something oddly unsettling about him.

"You're aware that in the Abyss, apart from the Abyssal Princess, there are other entities?"

"Of course."

While the Abyssal Princess, a culmination of countless thoughts, couldn't touch Perserque, others intensely desired her. Davey had witnessed this several times before. Even severed tentacles had yearned for her.

"You've already dealt with more than two of the Abyssal Princesses, who are practically as powerful as the Abyss itself. They probably think it's hard to defeat you with mere force alone."

In truth, one had a particularly bad affinity, and he had defeated another by drawing upon all her power. But he doubted the Abyss had considered that. It felt like he was embodying the saying, "Come at me, I'd die if hit just once!" In other words, Abyssal creatures must be assuming Davey was strong enough to even kill Sleesiathe body and the spirit of Perserque.

"They desire Perserque, the key to becoming a god, a shard of the god."

"Correct. It's already known, but we need to make sure. If Perserque, who can become the Queen of the Abyss, falls into their hands, Thanatos will awaken before long."

"The repercussions?"

"The fall of all lands, including this one. The light will extinguish, and eternal darkness will descend. If Goddess Freyja is the dawn, then Thanatos is the dusk."

He knew about it, but the tangible details made it all the more bitter.

Kain, with his gentle tone, looked up at Davey. "Goddess Neltarid has conveyed two prophecies to you."Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

"Go on."

"Firstly, embrace the outsiders. Their power may seem insignificant, but the manner of their strength contains the blessings of Neltarid. I can't say anything about their character, but they will be immensely helpful in the battle against the Abyss."

Davey could see the logic in his words but was still reluctant. "Hmm..."

"Do you have concerns?"

"Outsiders, those gamers from Earth... It's fine. I have no issues with them being from Earth. Not all of them would cause problems."

Indeed, he had once saved a boy with the ridiculous name 'Citrus Soda' and sent him back to Earth. The issue was not their nature, but the current situation.

"Neltarid introduced this land as a game to humans. There must have been some constraints, making them unable to recognize this as reality."

They perceived it as a game, negating the sense of reality. Except for a few who could intervene, no one recognized this place as real. As a result, the humans treated their experiences and interactions in this land lightly.

"Everywhere it's the same. No creature is more cruel than a human seeking pleasure and fun."

"Can't you make them realize the reality?"

"I'll handle that. If I get in touch with that deity Neltarid, I'll convey a message: stop sending outsiders. If they send another psychopath like Grim Reaper, I'll use the last resort we have, regardless of any alliance."

For outsiders, whether this place was a game or reality, it was just a place for enjoyment. The early outsider, Grim Reaper, with demonic powers, had unleashed his twisted murderous urges freely. Many innocent lives were lost because of him. Kain remained silent at Davey's words.

"Understood. Let's move on to the second point, which is the main issue." Kain then retrieved a small, wall-colored stone from his pocket.

"Is that?"

"It's a trace of the Absolute Gem."

Davey scratched his cheek with a finger and asked as Kain protested, "Does a god have a fixed form?"

Kain looked at Davey quizzically. "Which answer would you like first?"

"A god's form. It's quite unusual for a god to have a specific form when they descend, isn't it?"

"That's correct. Gods have a transcendent will, without form. Being bound by a form is the prerogative of a created being, not a constraint for the creator."

"But the fact that God took on the appearance of Rinne specifically means?"

"It means that in the past, for some unknown reason, she once descended in the form of that particular being."

"Davey, what does that mean?" At that time, a silver-haired girl walked up to Davey's side. It looked like she had woken up from her sleep.

"Perserque."

"Davey, it would have been nice if you told me about things like this."

"Most of what I'd tell you wouldn't be pleasant."

"... So? Will you continue?" When Perserque softly asked Kain, he hung his head low before answering.

"I think I roughly understand what you're saying, Davey, but one thing is certain: neither God Neltarid nor Goddess Freya would have a fixed form."

A god is not a deity for just one race. Therefore, what an elf perceives when seeing a descended god would inevitably be different from a human's perception. There had been a time when Goddess Freya descended upon Rinne's body.

"That must be what you mean." At that statement, Perserque remained silent.

"The second question is God's priest. Neltarid might know, but I was designated as Goddess Freya's priest since the time I contained divine power."

"A priest of the god..."

"What I want to ask are two things. Why was I designated as her priest and why a priest in the first place?"

Kain responded, "Well, I dont know everything. I too am unstable. I only know about the Valkyria race, but I don't even know what happened during their existence."

"Hmm..."

"To be honest, just for you to hear, there isn't even a way to prove the existence of the Valkyria race."

Kain, sounding rather bitter, extended his hand toward Davey. "If it's hard to trust me, then believe in the gods. Regardless of the circumstances, God Neltarid probably wouldn't appreciate the abyssal Thanatos resurrecting alongside Goddess Freya."

Common enemies created bonds. That was the nature of Davey's relationship with Neltarid.

"What will you do?"

"I'll visit on my way."

"Then, I'll leave the other world in your hands."

Kain summoned large wings on his back and slowly dispersed, disappearing from view. He felt different than the naive and clueless Kain Davey had known.

"A soul in twos..."

"Two souls?"

"It's not like a split personality. Literally, there are two souls in one body. Such cases are rare to see..."

"Davey, can we really trust this god named Neltarid?"

"Let's trust for now. If there was a problem, Goddess Freyja probably would have given me some kind of hint."

The fact that she said nothing meant that Davey could use the word that gods loved the most.

"Damn it, everything goes according to fate."
