The Tutorial Is Too Hard Chapter 369 - God of Victory (3)

Chapter 369 – G.o.d of Victory (3)

“War?”

A war between the Hundred G.o.ds Temple and the Pantheon.

Could the two groups be divided that way in the first place?

It seems that the G.o.ds are controlled by a system, but I heard that the Hundred G.o.ds Temple and other G.o.ds belonging to the Pantheon are specifically cla.s.sified as management targets.

By the way, is a war between the two forces led by the Hundred G.o.ds Temple possible?

Looking at the purpose of establishing the Hundred G.o.ds Temple, it doesn’t make sense.

[It is possible. It is also one of the loopholes in the system. A majority vote can overturn some of the system’s limitations.]

Certainly, the G.o.ds of the Hundred G.o.ds Temple have sometimes ignored the limitations of the system.

However, it was usually only for the intervention of a challenger in the Tutorial.

I’ve never heard of a vote on anything else, in other words, affecting other G.o.ds of the Hundred G.o.ds Temple, not just challengers.

Oh, there was only one time.

It was the time when the G.o.d of Remorse, who presented me with a fragment of the source, was disciplined.

Kirikiri explained that the relationship between all the G.o.ds of the Hundred G.o.ds Temple was not good, and it was difficult to agree with each other due to the nature of each G.o.d.

Thus, it is unlikely that the G.o.ds of the Hundred G.o.ds Temple would happily vote in favor of war.

[The new faction of adventure is actively advancing. I don’t know what will happen yet.]

The G.o.d of Hope stopped talking, saying that he would also partic.i.p.ate in the voting a little deeper.

He seemed to be intervening in the voting scene through his incarnation in the Hundred G.o.ds Temple.

The faction of adventure is coming forward.

That means the mainstream forces in the Hundred G.o.ds Temple are leading the way.

It was said that the Hundred G.o.ds Temple was divided into several factions, but it was quite self-evident where the mainstream was.

The Hundred G.o.ds Temple was born in the process of preventing the unification of the universe caused by the G.o.d of Slowness.

And the winner was the G.o.d of Adventure on the other side of the G.o.d of Slowness.

As a result, the unification of the universe has not been achieved until now, and most of the G.o.ds, including the G.o.d of Slowness, are restricted by being included in the Hundred G.o.ds Temple and the Pantheon.

So, even the surviving G.o.ds and the extremely influential G.o.ds can expect that the G.o.d of Adventure will dominate.

And the lower G.o.d, the sage, was used as a tool to guide me there.

The two seemed to be related in some way to the war being discussed through voting.

“I’m not crying anymore.”

Lee Yeon-hee glanced at me instead of eating soup.

It was a mixture of embarra.s.sment, a bit of resentment, and criticism.

“You think I cry every time I eat something?”

Lee Yeon-hee asked sharply.

There was a feeling of desperation.

It was the same as the conversation we had before.

The other person wasn’t Lee Yeon-hee.

I raised my hand, saying that I knew, and Lee Yeon-hee again focused on soup.

In one way or another, Lee Yeon-hee ate joyfully whenever we brought soup.

Her state, which seemed confused, has also somewhat stabilized.

There was no problem with proceeding with the conversation.

It was a fast recovery.

I know from being in a similar state, but it was a really fast recovery rate.

In the past, I had expected that she would be in half-ruin.

Lee Yeon-hee’s recovery could be seen just by looking around.

The scenery on the 60th floor has changed a lot.

It was thanks to Lee Yeon-hee’s remodeling.

Lee Yeon-hee was redecorating the exterior of the 60th floor.

She rearranged the streets and placed the sculptures.

As if playing a city management game, she was managing the 60th floor where no one lives.

It’s not bad.

This kind of hobby is helpful in many ways.

Since it is part of simple labor, it can be done without much thought.

It was great to concentrate on something while emptying your thoughts.

In the meantime, it also demanded creativity.

You can contemplate your own tastes and reflect on them.

It certainly helps to establish oneself.

I used to have similar hobbies.

[Hororong?]

The G.o.d of Hope, who was quiet, asked.

Ugh, coming back with the things I want to forget.

Why are you revealing other people’s dark history?

[Because that scarf is famous even in the Hundred G.o.ds Temple. At that time, there was a really long discussion about whether your actions were right or wrong. It is clear that the G.o.d of Devotion still remembers the color and texture of the scarf.]

d.a.m.n it. d.a.m.n it.

I can’t believe there are hundreds of guys who have been watching my black history with interest.

I got gooseb.u.mps all of a sudden.

I felt sorry for Hororong too.

To me, he was a friend who meant much more than Wilson.

Still, I wanted to protect my dignity as a human being.

I’m going to build a shrine for you later.

“Is the voting over?”

[Not yet. But it is almost there. Wait a little more.]

Suddenly I spoke out, so Lee Yeon-hee looked at me again, wondering if I was calling her who was quietly eating soup.

I woke up while leaving a message to Lee Yeon-hee to eat.

* * *

[It seems like a war will happen anyway.]

The G.o.d of Hope said so.

With a troubled voice.

It was surprising.

If it were the G.o.d of Hope, I thought that he would happily accept the war.

[Most of the G.o.ds who are not a part of the G.o.d of Adventure’s factions have pa.s.sed. Due to long time constraints, there are many people in favor of the war just because they have been bound by restrictions for a long time.]

It was as exciting as when you heard about a reward vacation in the army.

I understand.

[The G.o.d of Slowness is silent as always, and the G.o.d of Devotion somehow agrees. The G.o.d of the Sky has not been able to properly express an opinion because of what happened a while ago.]

The G.o.d of Hope explained the state of the G.o.ds of the Hundred G.o.ds Temple.

There was one G.o.d missing from it.

“The G.o.d of Light?”

The G.o.d of Hope didn’t answer right away but began to click his tongue as if he had no answer.

[… It’s luminous.]

Well, that’s it.

It must be radiating like crazy in an ambiguous sense.

[The cause of the war is that some Pantheon G.o.ds fluttered in Thanatos, the realm of the G.o.d of Death, and interfered with the responsibilities of the G.o.d of Death.]

I said yes and moved on.

I knew that the G.o.ds of the Hundred G.o.ds Temple were subject to stealth attacks from other G.o.ds because they were bound by constraints.

It was the same kind of attack as the one on Earth by the rulers.

Going to the 61st floor, I searched for Old Man who was lying in the depths of the volcano.

I came back into the Tutorial today to check his status.

“Old Man.”

The body of Old Man, which had been submerged under the lava, slowly emerged.

It pa.s.sed my eye level and rose to a position where I could make eye contact only by raising my head.

That’s just standing up from where he was lying.

It was a size that I couldn’t adapt to even if I looked at it again.

[What’s the matter, King?]

“I just came to see you Old Man.”

After attempting an attack on the G.o.d of Order, the Old Man appeared to be depressed.

It wasn’t just a bit of heartbreak, it seemed to me that he was under mental pressure.

“Grandmother was worried a lot too.”

Old Man quietly nodded.

Usually, Old Man would laugh loudly even when I talked about Grandmother getting worried and yelled at her.

He looked a little bit sad.

It feels like seeing a close brother in the neighborhood lying tiredly because he is sick.

[I am fine but…….]

Old Man’s voice still sounded weak.

The G.o.d of Order introduced itself as the system.

As for me, he was the main enemy to overcome for Old Man and the giants, and the main culprit behind their confinement.

The fact that he attempted an attack on the G.o.d of Order but did not do any damage, and eventually had to retire from being exhausted, will surely be enough to break his heart.

More than anything…….

“Old Man?”

While I was organizing my thoughts by myself, a question came up.

What did he feel in front of the unusual power of the G.o.d of Order?

“I’m just saying this”

[Right.]

The Old Man had lost his mind even before I started questioning.

I could feel strong frustration and depression from that short response.

[I lost my confidence. Whether we can beat that monster or not. Will we be able to achieve our dreams?]

Only then could I understand the Old Man’s strange state.

It wasn’t the strange power of the G.o.d of Order.

He was just really frustrated mentally.

Enough to weaken his divinity.

The belief that you will eventually win.

That was all we had.

I stood up with that faith, and I was able to come this far.

Conversely, without that belief, there was no difference from the time when I was imprisoned here helplessly.

Old Man apologized to me saying sorry.

I didn’t accept the apology.

I was sad and angry.

For the last decade.

When we put all of our stagnant times together, we have been together for a time that we can’t even measure ourselves.

But I was upset that he had lost faith enough to weaken his divinity by meeting the G.o.d of Order for a while.

[I’m sorry, King.]

Old Man apologized again.

He nodded with a crumpled expression and apologized.

He is my colleague, my subordinate, my apostle but also my family.

“It’s all right.”

So I could say.

“The lost faith can be recovered.”

[… yes. I will get up soon. Breaking through walls that seem insurmountable. That was our job. Wait for me King. I’ll catch up with you soon.]

Old Man said so.

I consoled him, saying that getting enough rest is the first step, and I left the 61st floor.

Old Man’s will was conveyed.

He faced an enemy powerful enough to feel frustrated, and he was constricted, but he was also willing to overcome it someday.

But I was skeptical.

He has lost faith.

The previously held faith that Old Man had before was powerful enough for him to become a divine being.

The power of the G.o.d of Order that broke his faith would also have been strongly imprinted.

You cannot regain your faith just by devoting yourself.

You can have the desire to win, but you won’t be sure of it.

Confidence is not something that can be obtained that way.

I gritted my teeth.

I could see the frustration that Old Man would have faced and the helplessness that he would have felt in front of it.

I was able to comprehend the feeling of Old Man facing the wall that blocked us in the past again.

It was harsh to want him to overcome everything on his own.

I will show you

That we will finally be able to win.

That the path that he walked with me is the path to victory.

I stood in front of the portal back to the 60th floor.

There was a faint voice.

[Come to me, challenger.]

It was a strange voice that felt like something inorganic, without elevation.

It was the G.o.d of Order.

Was he exerting influence at the door of my holy land?

In the first place, the Tutorial itself belongs to the G.o.d of Order. It could be said that it was part of the G.o.d of Order itself, so there was nothing strange.

Of course, that fact and the displeasure I felt were separate.

I could have guessed the purpose of the war the G.o.d of Adventure is trying to bring about.

Weakening of the system.

If the system that encompa.s.ses both the Hundred G.o.ds Temple and Pantheon is part of the divine power of the G.o.d of Order.

The G.o.d of Order is weakened just by digging into its essence and becoming meaningless.

[Challenge me.]

The complex interests of the G.o.ds were irrelevant.

Whatever the purpose they are aiming for.

Among them, achieving my goal was the most important.

I ignored the voice of the G.o.d of Order.

Returning to the 60th floor and taking steps, the G.o.d of Hope spoke.

[The vote just ended. Soon a war will break out.]

The results came out faster than expected.

[Now I want to ask you what you’re going to do. Are you going to join the war? Maybe both the Hundred G.o.ds Temple and Pantheon will contact you.]

“I will partic.i.p.ate.”

[Which side?]

Of course it’s the winning side.

My choices are always set.

When I told the G.o.d of Hope my answer, he asked again.

[Which side do you think it is?]

“The side I chose.”

Still.

I was convinced.

I would win.
