Damn System

Episode 58

Chapter 14 Server Connection (2)

“It’s just that side and us, let’s each take care of it.”

The system clearly said that we have ways and time to prepare ourselves.

I wouldn’t have blown an empty check in a situation where I had to threaten the other side.

‘Because then it wouldn’t work for the gods.’

So, obviously, there are other ways.

Even the gods would know that.

Even so, the system stopped at verbal threats.

‘It must mean that that method is not the best.’

The best thing would be to join hands with these guys, so it makes sense to say that you hold back.

‘Looking at what you’re saying, it seems that you’ve taken that part into consideration and passed it on in a good way.’

The result is now. I can’t even get an apology for the mistake on the other side, and I have to ask for an apology.

Even though he directly asked for an apology, Eul’s position was that he had to pick up an excuse and move on instead of a proper apology.

My head was pounding as I reflected on what had happened in just a few minutes.

Whatever the reason, just because you blindly accept it doesn’t mean the other person appreciates it.

‘That’s a joke.’

Look, how shameless those gods acted as a result of volunteering for Hogu.

It doesn’t mean giving and receiving help is bad.

But isn’t it kind of devouring help?

“If you’re going to keep going over there with me, do it alone. I can’t work with such heartless bastards.”

As if hammering nails with a clenched teeth, the system reacted as I spoke Chinese characters after Chinese characters.

《System Message》

All right. As of today, the contract with Bihar will be terminated.

There was no time to breathe and no time to be distracted by the sound of words that began to pour.

‘I didn’t deny it.’

I mentioned an alliance just a moment ago.

Nevertheless, instead of correcting or denying, the system accepted.

It was no different from an affirmation that he had some kind of relationship with this world.

It’s obvious why you got into a relationship with a problem.

‘Enemies and allies.’

Just looking at the words used to distinguish between the monster and Rashar’s group, the answer comes out.

One step closer to the truth, I had to do my best to hide my agitation.

In the midst of my busy mind, even the sound of words added to it, giving me a headache.

It was a little difficult to understand because the voices overlapped so much.

To summarize the words of the gods, it was about winning or losing the war and mentioning that this choice was the worst outcome.

It was a time when I was really dumbfounded and let out a laugh.

New messages began to be updated in the message window, not in individual system windows.

「The system explains the risks of operating a single server.」

「If you break the contract, you have to pay the price every time you cross the dimension, so the initial risk and damage increases.」

「In order to maximize the player’s survival rate, both servers must be connected.」

I let out a sigh of relief as I read the message.

‘It’s fortunate that there is a minimum of notice.’

The system really has no intention of losing money with the seven gods.

Once I threw rice cakes, they just accepted them.

In the meantime, if you look at the message window for game notifications, not individual system windows, it must mean that the gods can’t see it this far.

For the first time, it seemed to fit quite well.

‘If you look at the explanation, as expected, the best way is to join hands with them.’

Fortunately, I understood quite well what the system was trying to convey through the message window.

‘The high initial risk must be related to magic.’

A magical power absorption structure that allows players to grow.

Items and characteristics that can purify tainted magic.

Considering these two factors, the world can be seen as a hunting ground.

‘What if it becomes difficult to go to and from the hunting ground in question?’

Players eat magic in the hunting ground and it becomes difficult to grow, so it will take a long time to get out of the beginner section.

I didn’t really intend to commit to that.

Pushing the gods hard now is only to rebuild their relationship with each other.

“Good idea, these bastards will buy you time anyway, so what’s the problem. Let’s leave quickly.”

There’s a lot to do in our world, too, he added, and the words grew louder.

I ignored it all and lowered my stance.

“If you destroy this, it will go back, right?”

《System Message》

Yes, closing the hall by destroying the medium is a condition for completing the mission.

As soon as I confirmed the system’s answer, I put down the shield I had been carrying for days.

The action of pulling out one of the two daggers tied to her waist was as natural as flowing water.

We already know how to destroy the medium.

I put my magic on the dagger to cut off the swirling flow of magic.

The blade of the sword, covered in red haze, surged toward the vortex of magical power.

There was no hesitation in my movements.

I can’t destroy this medium anyway.

The constant sound of words echoing in my head gave me that certainty.

That’s why I was able to slash the dagger with all my might, making it look like I was serious.

Kang-!

‘Look at this, look at this.’

Just before the dagger touched the shield, a golden glow appeared.

My dagger couldn’t penetrate the light and bounced out.

I swung it as hard as I could to the point of not letting go of the dagger.

It’s clear that you just stopped my actions.

[You can’t break your promise unilaterally like this.]

[The conversation must have ended with being together.]

[Your apostle seems excited, but it’s better to stop it.]

[Do you think we will tolerate unilateral destruction!]

They are still gods who have not grasped the situation.

They went out of their way to make sure I didn’t leave and that this place wouldn’t be destroyed.

But still, what about the war, what about the cause?

Why do I have to look at someone who is holding his head stiffly asking for help?

Those who don’t know how to be grateful should be scolded.

“These bastards are still out of their minds.”

knock, knock.

“If winning the war is that important, send a meat shield from your side. Then we can buy time.”

I bent my neck from side to side and spoke while spinning the dagger.

“If we finish our preparations in the meantime, won’t the odds go up?”

The cold stillness contained both the wrath of the gods and my wrath.

I went to work with ridicule at him.

“You don’t like that?”

As I continued, I raised my dagger high again.

“We don’t like it either. So, I want to stop making losses by wiping after you guys.”

What’s the use of talking about the last chance?

‘If I’m going to threaten, I’ll do it properly.’

If I was going to understand it verbally, this wouldn’t have happened in the first place.

‘I have to show them clearly to these guys.’

If anything, it’s a plan or a promise, so you can cancel it anytime.

You have to always have that sense of crisis so you can’t climb up and take the position of Eul.

‘The system started to find fault with them as soon as they took the mound.’

It means that there has been a lot of accumulation, and it means that you have not endured it once or twice.

‘He’s like an idiot.’

With a chilly expression on my face, I pointed to the golden halo on the shield and said.

“System, put this away.”

After a brief gap, the light began to fade.

It didn’t disappear naturally, it felt like it was forcibly dispersed.

When the golden halo gradually faded and finally completely disappeared, I wrapped my dagger with magic again.

The more urgent voice was clearly ignored.

The moment when I was about to stab the dagger at the angle again.

[I apologize for the brothers’ rudeness.]

Starting from the calm and gloomy voice, the surroundings became quiet.

The chattering, random voices of other words disappeared all at once.

Rather than voluntarily shutting up, the feeling of being forced into silence was strong.

I just got a feeling. I think it should be over at this point.

[I’m sorry.]

As expected, an apology was heard for the first time.

However, it was a strangely different voice from the ones that had passed through me so far.

Since there were so many gods that could not be seen or discerned by voice, it was not clear who was who.

‘I don’t think all seven have come.’

So far, I have felt about four or five types of divinity.

However, Shin Seong, whom I have just spoken to, is unfamiliar.

Did he say a word after being silent for so long?

[It may sound like an excuse, but the brothers are desperate, so they don’t care. Everyone is terrible only for their followers.]

When I didn’t move anymore, words continued that were halfway between an explanation and an excuse.

[That doesn’t mean I’m proud of myself for forgetting my shame.]

“That one… … .”

[There are many things I lack, but I am caring for the followers in the name of Senoa.]

Senoa is humility. According to Rashar’s explanation, he is the only god whose authority is unknown.

‘Is the reason why the other gods became quiet has something to do with authority?’

While I was thinking of other things, Senoa continued to speak.

[I will also apologize on behalf of my brothers. Please have mercy. If necessary, I will accept additional treaties.]

His words felt limp. Like the voice of someone exhausted from being too tired.

[I don’t want to waste any more time on meaningless persuasion. Palao should have made a decision before that, but I’m sorry it’s too late.]

My eyes narrowed.

Why is Palao mentioned all of a sudden?

‘Before that? Did something happen?’

There were also questions piled up that were hard to know the answers to, but there were also things I found out instead.

‘I think this is the head, but.’

Apparently, among the gods, the influence of humility seems to be the most powerful.

Is it fortunate that there is at least one sane person?

‘no.’

I’ve seen what other guys do, but I can’t quite believe it.

Maybe it’s a play to fool us.

Without raising my doubts and vigilance, I encouraged Senoa, the god of humility, with my silence.

[O god of the other world, and welcome stranger. It was also my fault to be bystander, so I apologize for being late. ask for guilt I will take responsibility.]

A system window popped up before Senoa’s calm words ended.

《System Message》

An act of deliberately intimidating a visiting stranger to prove alliance.

A plan to cleverly avoid the blind spots of the agreement and use strangers.

Suspicion of intentionally releasing #$@!!^$%f.

Even unfamiliar words to the contents that make your expression harden.

Since I entered this prayer room, I have lost my mind.

《System Message》

We consider all charges admitted and we present to the deities of Bihar.

《System Message》

In the future, when we intervene in the deaths of players in any way, we will calculate the guilt according to the contribution and reap the same amount of divinity.

[As the head of Bihar, I agree to the new treaty.]

Whether it’s a divinity or a treaty, I don’t know exactly what happened.

It is clear that it ended in a good direction for us.

But I fight instead of laughing

I scanned the prayer room with wide eyes.

‘Is it only one out of seven?’

Of the seven gods, there was only one who saved face and apologized politely.

I got to work with some really messed up guys.

[Pleasant stranger, I apologize to you once again. It’s late to come in a hurry.]

This must be, I’m talking about the thing I felt threatened in the beginning.

“A verbal apology doesn’t change the fact that I almost died.”

I responded in a sneering yet cold manner.
