Overgeared

[The anger of the evil god who lost his name has suppressed you. All stats are greatly reduced.]

[The sadness of the evil god who lost his name makes you hesitate. You have fallen into the ‘confusion’ and ‘loss’ abnormal status.]

[The madness of the evil god who abandoned his name is attacking you. All resources, including health and mana, won’t be restored.]

[The curse of the evil god blocks your vision and forbids the use of skills and magic.]

“You might’ve already noticed, but we need to break the chains that bind you. If you break the chains and turn the upside down statues upright, the energy of the evil gods will be weakened.”

His vision was blocked. Trapped in a world of nothing but darkness, Skunk couldn’t discern the situation at the scene. He was reduced to a situation where he could only wait for his impending death. It was fine. He had observed his surroundings as much as possible when he first entered the space. He could give advice to Grid, who, unlike him, would have resisted the status abnormalities.

“Of course, breaking the chains won’t be easy. If you don’t think so, remember the number three. The shape of the statues, the patterns engraved on the statues, and the ornaments worn by the statues… no, even the moss clinging to the walls or the pebbles on the ground are good. Unconditionally find and destroy what makes up this number three. If you don’t find these three things, you have to reverse it. Make it as symmetrical as possible...”

Then he heard a deafening explosion and the ground started to sink. It seemed that the evil gods, who manifested through the statues, and Grid had entered into battle.

“Kuek...” The place for him to step had disappeared. Skunk floundered and started to fall into the endless underground, but he managed to squeeze out his last words.

“Don’t mind me!!”

It was a cry for Grid’s victory. It contained a desire for Grid to concentrate on the battle and not waste an opportunity while saving him. It was because Grid’s victory was millions of times more valuable than his own life.

‘He is the one who must reach heaven.’

Now everyone in the world knew it.

The conquest of Asgard—‘the end of the gods,’ which people had reluctantly guessed would be the ending of Satisfy just a few years ago, was actually likely to be the beginning, not the end. There was even a 99.9% chance. Why? The heavenly gods had to disappear in order for people to use Satisfy for their own purposes and wishes.

Yes, they were useless disruptors. They were just a danger lurking in the sky. Grid was needed to eliminate that risk. Grid had to continue becoming stronger and stronger. Skunk couldn’t hold him back in the name of being a colleague...

“Why are you acting so tragic?”

“Ah...”

A vertical drop with his head pointed downward—Skunk gritted his teeth and sighed as he prepared for the impending shock. Then Grid’s hard arms supported his back.

“Why bother to take care of someone who will be resurrected even after death?” Skunk escaped from death and said somewhat nervously. He wasn’t mad at Grid. He was angry at himself for creating a situation where he forced Grid.

“If I can save someone, then I should save them. Why should I let someone die when they shouldn’t die and I’m not a psychopath?” Grid opened his eyes wide and stuck out his tongue.

Skunk saw it. His vision had suddenly recovered.

“Uh...?” Skunk looked puzzled as he was led by Grid and landed on the ground. The evil gods that should be rampaging were somehow quiet.
