045. What did you do

Everything needs a change that fits the situation.

If it is simply a relationship between the prison guard and the prisoners, there is nothing to doubt each other, compete with each other, and have nothing to do together.

However, if there is a common enemy, the manager, and it becomes clear that the manager has sent a spy into the prison, changes must occur accordingly.

“…So you’re telling us to find the spy ourselves.”

Siena Olm, representing the elves, elegantly raised the teacup.

“How dare you call the warden…! Can we find them all and tear them limb from limb?”

Tarkan did not hide his intention to live.

“It was strange that ten people came in. It’s the first time I’ve been in this damn place in 300 years. It’s reasonable to suspect that the gods did it on purpose to send spies. However, isn’t it too obvious?”

Derkhain’s suspicions were reasonable. Certainly, sending an unprecedented number of prisoners at once seemed rather overtly advertising spying.

“Maybe there isn’t. It could have been simply to confuse me.”

And you may be aiming for the next one.

“But there’s nothing wrong with being careful whether you’re aiming now or next.”

“That too.”

“But before that.”

Sienna slightly raised her hand.

“Are we on one side now? No, to be honest, I can’t adapt to the current situation because it changes so quickly. You didn’t even mention it directly to us.”

Certainly Siena was like that.

Tarkan even swore allegiance to Kim Woo-jin, and Derkhain fully grasped the situation and decided to cooperate on his own.

However, Sienna and the elves were different. Yulia negotiated with Kim Woo-jin and agreed to cooperate, but that was Yulia’s personal problem.

Since she was a high elf, the elves followed her intentions to some extent, but there was no direct mention to the elves or to Siena.

“Do you hate God? Do you hate me?”

“If I had to ask, would it be the former?”

“This is fucking God.”

“Not enough. I understand that you are not a blind servant of God. But will that prove that you’re against God? It doesn’t change that you’re the warden who monitors and manages us.”

“It is.”

“Isn’t it strange that you suddenly open your hands to ask for help against the gods in the first place?”

“Lily likes me.”

“.

“Actually, it’s not particularly strange except for Sienna-sama.”

“What?”

“Yulia Karsen has already agreed to cooperate with me.”

“Yes.”

Yulia nodded.

“Tarkan Tholis has sworn allegiance to me.”

“you’re right. I will serve you forever!”

Tarkan replied vigorously.

“Derkain-nim decided to join me as well.”

“Right. The other dwarves have also decided to join me, so we can say that we are on the warden’s side.”

“…Who is that human over there?”

Sienna smiled and pointed at Kang Min-shik, who was sitting in the corner.

“I also made a deal with Kang Min-shik. I will be with you for the time being in opposing God.”

“So the story has already ended without me.”

“You can leave if you don’t want to. However, if you blow a candle saying you don’t like it, you will get paid for it.”

Tuk-tuk, Kim Woo-jin knocked on the table. A steady beat shook the office.

“… Ha, who do you know as an idiot?”

All the prisoners have already turned. Even the high elf, Yulia Karsen, would be isolated if she endured alone in a situation where she turned around.

“Are you sure you’re fucking God?”

“Isn’t it right to give a shit if it is to distort what God wants to do?”

“that’s right.”

And she, too, was full of enmity toward God. If this road is a road that can give God a shot, he was willing to walk.

“So what should I do?”

* * *

“Nice to meet you.”

“You are a noble man.”

Yulia approached the new elven prisoner.

Originally, Purgatory had no official time for prisoners to socialize.

However, Kim Woo-jin, who made most of the prisoners on his side, created a new one. aka ‘exercise time.’ In addition to eating lunch and digesting food, the prisoners are released to the parade ground for an hour.

The parade ground built in a corner of the garden was a square structure surrounded by another wall. Of course, the dwarves made it.

“What is your name?”

“My name is Azar Clete.”

“I am Julia Karsen.”

“To think that a noble high elf is imprisoned like this. I don’t know how you treat the hero who saved the world like this.”

“It is scary. We who did not give up our power.”

“…are they not gods?”

“But they are also half-penny who can’t do anything without a hero.”

“Did I hear that wrong?”

“Right? God must be all-knowing and omnipotent. At least the god I know is like that. However, in order to save the world, a warrior is put forward as an agent, and if the hard-working warrior does not give up his strength, he is imprisoned. If that’s not half a penny, what is it?”

“…If you think so, it seems to be right.”

“Yes?”

Azar shook his head.

Yulia carefully examined each and every one of his reactions.

‘The most important thing is an elf. Elves are more sensitive to the energy of the World Tree than anyone else.’

If the elf is a spy, Lily can’t escape the clouds in the sky. So the elves must be on this side. If that’s not the case, don’t let me leave this place no matter what.

Fortunately, the elves had the means to force their actions.

“Then Azar must hate the gods.”

“I don’t mean to say it lightly, but I honestly do.”

“I understand. The intolerance of the gods has imprisoned us innocent people here.”

So that’s what I mean.

“Can you make me an oath?”

“You mean the oath?”

Azar was wary. No matter how high an elf is, if someone you meet for the first time suddenly forces you to swear an oath, anyone will.

“It’s not going to harm Azar. It is enough to simply swear that you will not tell anyone everything you have seen, heard and experienced in purgatory.”

“Why?”

“The prisoners here hate God, just like Azar. That’s why I don’t like it when someone gives it to God.”

“…I’m not that kind of bat.”

“Then it shouldn’t be difficult.”

Julia smiled brightly.

“…”

Theoretically correct, and the presence of the high elves pushing him.

The two beats fit perfectly.

“Can I just swear?”

“Of course I swear to the mother tree.”

“I swear to my mother tree that I will not tell anyone what I have seen, heard and done here.”

Mana’s restraints tightened Azar’s heart.

“Something is strange. Why are the restraints so tight…”

“Ah, please swear that you do not serve God.”

“that’s···.”

“Or does Azar-nim still believe in and follow God even though he was used by God and imprisoned?”

“···I am.”

elf cut.

* * *

In fact, I knew at least that I wouldn’t do the stupid thing of using an elf as a spy.

The World Tree does not exist in every dimension where elves exist, but all elves believe in and follow the World Tree. The oath to the World Tree is an absolute rule that they can never break.

Elves are not good at lying because there is something that can be easily proven. If you can’t prove it with an oath, it’s easy to find out that it’s a lie.

Still, it was better to be certain, so he made Yulia swear.

“So you just came. Did everyone have their own circumstances?”

– beep.

opened the cage door. However, the pouting Lily did not intend to come out because the promised time was over.

Anyway, the back looks really cute too. Do people raise birds for this taste?

He is much more healed than the dark Deokgu and Chunshik.

“But thanks to you, I don’t have to go in now for the time being.”

– beep?

“In the cage.”

Kim Woo-jin awkwardly scratched his cheek.

– Beep! Beep! Beep beep!

I don’t know exactly what he meant, but the tone and intention were enough.

It’s unfair, there’s no such thing as breaking a promise, something like this.

“But I can’t help it. Your growth is faster than I thought.”

The energy of the World Tree, which consumed additional elixirs, was more full than expected. If all the idiots were trapped in Purgatory, there was no way they wouldn’t be able to feel the energy of the World Tree as long as they were warriors.

If it was an elf, it could be hidden only when the sky clouds of the World Tree were fully activated, and even if it wasn’t, at least it had to be inside the fence.

At least that’s how it should be until the spy problem is resolved.

“Instead, I will come every day.”

– Beep?

Is that ‘real?’ It’s kind of a feeling. Just trying to get rid of that much. Kim Woo-jin reflected.

It was true that they were together every day until the first world tree germinated and Yulia tested their intimacy, but after that, they became neglected as various incidents including prison break occurred.

“yes. No matter how busy you are, you must see Lily.”

– beep!

Lily hugged Kim Woo-jin by the neck. I felt a completely different warmth and refreshing feeling from a normal bird.

Lily, who had been hugging her for a long time, spread her wings with a happy face.

– Beep. Beep beep, beep beep, beep beep.

“You want to hold hands?”

Lily shook her head.

– Beep beep beep beep!

Well, I thought I understood quite a bit now, but I just can’t figure it out. When will Lily be able to speak human words like other World Trees?

“What are you saying?”

Yulia, who was standing next to her with a gruff expression, responded.

“I can’t see it without so many tears. Mother Tree, can’t you see me at all?”

“Stop talking nonsense.”

– beep.

“You look good. A good thing is a good thing, and a deal is a deal, so ask for an elixir equal to the amount of time you exceeded.”

“Don’t lie and say you don’t like it. Didn’t you learn that if you get caught in a grubby, your palms will fly off?”

“Why am I lying? And who the hell teaches you that?”

Yulia snorted as if it was absurd.

“Mother Tree, did I distort Mother Tree’s words?”

– Beep.

Lily shook her head.

“… such crazy.”

Such a calculated and secular world tree?

“It makes no sense. What is the world tree like?”

“It’s self-employed.”

“Are you self-sufficient?”

“There can only be one explanation. Someone forcibly interfered with the seeds of the mother tree, and even the caster’s disposition was affected.”

“So is it my fault?”

“Because normal mother trees don’t do that.”

“Can you say that even after looking at Kraft’s World Tree?”

“I will correct it. Ordinary mother trees that are less than 10,000 years old don’t do that.”

“…Wherever you go, your eyes won’t match.”

Whoever raised them really well raised them.

“But I can’t give you the elixir you asked for. because there is none.”

I received three elixirs in exchange for a day. I don’t know how long I’ll have to activate the sky cloud, but I can’t handle it.

Kim Woo-jin ran away.

– Beep!

* * *

“Has Lily calmed down?”

After dinner, Kim Woo-jin called Yulia.

“I was barely comforted. I told you well, so you understand.”

“I’m glad.”

“Instead, he asked me to come right away tomorrow morning.”

“Sure. sit down.”

“Weren’t you called because of the mother tree?”

“Compassion and honor.”

Julia sat down. The car was already ready.

Tok tok, a finger tapping on the table means trouble. A moment of silence, Kim Woo-jin opens his mouth.

“How are the elves?”

“I can be sure. I am not a spy.”

“What about the other prisoners?”

“Other prisoners are contacting us in various ways, but no tangible results are coming out.”

“It seemed so. That’s why I need the cooperation of you and other prisoners.”

“What is it?”

Kim Woo-jin spread his fingers. It was three.

“Sooner or later there will be three coincidences in Purgatory.”

“Is it a coincidence?”

“The prison system was accidentally paralyzed and the door to the solitary cell opened.”

One finger is folded.

“Coincidentally, most of the guards were away.”

Two fingers are folded.

“A prisoner who can break the restraints appears by chance.”

The last finger is folded.

“Are you going to induce a prison break?”

“When people are pushed into extreme situations, their true nature comes out. No matter how you think about it, the surest way for the administrators to fuck me is to jailbreak.”

“But if you are a spy of the gods, you will have a way to get out like Kang Min-shik. Is it really necessary to go that far?”

“Because I have to.”

Kim Woo-jin’s eyes cooled down.

“The gods played a trick and it failed. Will that be the end?”

The arrogant gods do not back down with a meek “I’m sorry” that they failed after trying a trick.

It is their habit and pattern to create greater success to bury failure.

It is only natural for them to get rid of dirty shadows through brilliant light.

The ten prisoners must be the outpost.

“So I hit first.”

Before any action is taken, spies are singled out and as many released as possible.

Kim Woo-jin had no intention of playing with them.

No matter what.

* * *

The man walked slowly. I opened the huge door and went inside. In the vast war, ninety-nine gods were seated.

“You are late.”

“It just came right in.”

The man sat down in his seat.

“It’s a convention. It’s been 30 years.”

With a click, I lifted the teacup placed in front of me.

“What is the agenda?”

“About Kim Woo-jin. We already made an agreement before you came.”

“in conclusion?”

“It is highly likely that the hostility that has been suppressed will explode again due to one failure. Because of this, I decided not to stand by Kim Woo-jin like this.”

“how?”

“In purgatory, there will be three ‘accidents’.”

The Archon leading the Great Council snapped his fingers. Three beams of light arose.

“Inadvertently, the world-destroying malice penetrated even into purgatory.”

A single ray of light made its way to the center of the table.

“Accordingly, in the chaos, the prisoners escaped.”

A second beam of light merged with the central one.

“Coincidentally, the dimension they fled to will become the realm of the gods.”

A final ray of light was added. A bright beam of light illuminated the entire conference hall.

However, the light disappears in an instant.

It wasn’t the archons who got rid of it. It’s a man.

“You want to go to war again?”

“It is enough to lose God once. God must be perfect, must be perfect. No more flaws are tolerated before the vaccine.”

Damn, the archon snapped his fingers again. The light shimmers, but it is different from before.

Light creates a form. contract.

“I’m going to press him and amend the contract.”

To make the leash around Kim Woo-jin’s neck stronger and without an expiration date.

“What if I don’t respond?”

“We have to make it compulsory.”

That is the purpose of this plan, and it will surely come true.

By any means.
