Chapter 1804

It was after making Braham’s Staff. Grid had a close conversation with the apostles. In particular, he thought he knew very little about Zik and Mir.

Of course, he knew their painful past. For instance, Zik was betrayed while living as a servant of the gods and Mir was a doll made for the gods. What Grid was curious about wasn’t the background that everyone talked about.

“Before receiving the blessings of the gods... do you mean my normal human days?” Zik cocked his head as he stroked his smooth chin. He looked like he was pondering on something. There was little excitement on his face. “I think I was trying to survive day by day. I was like everyone else. I remembered that the era in which I lived was very lacking due to the lack of economic and cultural development. My family… let’s see. I don’t know if I had any siblings. I probably wasn’t married.”

Zik’s memory was very biased. Like a person born around the time when he decided to confront the gods, only his memories from that time were clear.

‘Is it a defense mechanism?’

Zik was a survivor of a destroyed world. In the first place, all his family members had died. Just remembering it must’ve been painful for Zik.

Zik shook his head as he vaguely read Grid’s thoughts and regrets. “You don’t have to pity me. The days of remembering and missing my precious people have already ended thousands of years ago. It has been too long.”

It had been so long that he couldn’t even remember his parents’ faces and names.

“But don’t you remember your colleagues?” Grid asked Zik after his explanation.

“That... maybe it is because of guilt.”

During the Seven Good People’s crushing defeat in the war against the gods, Zik didn’t participate in the war and was asleep. Putting aside the Curse of Sloth, Zik had clearly betrayed his companions.

“Of course, my participation in the war doesn’t mean we would’ve won the war against the gods.”

“......?”

Grid saw Zik’s bitter smile and suddenly doubted something.

“Come to think of it, it is strange. Why did the gods curse you with the Curse of Sloth?”

In the past, he thought they were wary because Zik was incredibly strong. However, now he knew. To be honest, Zik’s combat ability wasn’t a major threat to the celestial gods. It was even considering the fact that Zik’s runes performed the miracle of stealing the power of King Sobyeol, son of Hanul.

Didn’t Zik tell him? If he had been present, there would’ve been no chance that they would’ve won the war against the gods. Then why did they use a curse to prevent Zik from joining the war?

Grid thought of two possibilities. First, it was that Zik’s ‘Seven Malignant Saints skill’, which was still marked with a question mark, was powerful enough to transcend Grid’s imagination. Secondly, one of the gods was trying to protect Zik.

‘If I had to choose one of them, it would naturally be the latter.’

Grid couldn’t ask outright. Zik lived with the intention of getting revenge on the gods. Raising the possibility that some god actually protected him? He would be a psychopath without empathy. He knew it in his head so he tried not to ask, but...

“Which of the two do you think it is...?”

Still, Grid ended up asking. It was only then that the conversation would progress. Grid wanted to check Zik’s Seven Malignant Saints skill and whether or not he possessed a mental world.
