Overgeared

The epic was sealed.

Grid passed over it like it was insignificant. It was an event that was within the predicted range. For Grid, who equated Morpheus with the S.A Group, he felt that such an interference was natural.

‘Looking at the ways of the company, I think it must come from the top.’

Chairman Lim Cheolho—every time Grid accomplished great things, Chairman Lim Cheolho would send a lot of gifts. He also often visited in person to share medicinal wine with Grid's parents...

On the surface, he was pretty broad-minded.

“There is no light. I didn’t expect the influence of the foreign god to reach this place...” Rebecca’s expression stiffened. She seemed to be talking about the epic rewards.

‘If the epic was written properly, would it have received the protection of the light?’

An epic completed with the faith of a God of the Beginning—it was safe to say that it contained content that could turn the world upside down. Naturally, the value of the rewards would be the highest ever. It was sealed, so he couldn’t check it. But...

“It’s okay.” Grid showed a mature appearance. In any case, it had happened and it was something that couldn’t be stopped. Being obsessed with it would just make him feel dirtier.

‘There is a possibility that it will be solved to some extent by borrowing Huroi’s words.’

What if the epic was stopped? The power of the word-of-mouth transmission through people’s stories was also proven through the yeouiju incident this time. It was enough to spread the secret story.

The Goddess told him, “...Blood is flowing from your hands.”

“Hum hum....” Grid coughed in embarrassment while warm light surrounded his fists. His hands, which had been bleeding due to his nails digging in, recovered in an instant. No, it went beyond the level of recovery.

[Your skin and muscles have become stronger.]

[The special stat ‘Physical Tolerance’ has been opened.]

“......?”

Was this... a God of the Beginning?

A special stat was opened just from receiving healing from her. Then how great was the epic's reward...?

The anger that he tried to suppress was about to rise up again...

Grid barely calmed himself down and changed the subject, “As I said earlier, I understand you.”

The struggle to protect the precious world—the Goddess’ past moves resembled Grid’s present. Naturally, he sympathized and understood. He became eager to help her.

“No matter how many times you have destroyed the world... the weight of your crime might be comparable to the size of the universe, but I have no intention of blaming you.”

The Goddess had no choice but to do so. Her goal was to stop Satisfy from opening. He also understood why.

“But... why did you kill Yatan?”

Of course, a god couldn’t die. He was also a God of the Beginning, so he couldn’t have perished. However, Yatan hadn’t been seen for a long time. He didn’t even show his nose when his precious hell was distorted like that. It was safe to say that he must've been put in a condition that was close to death, and it was by none other than the Goddess.

Grid recalled the ending of the Yatan that he had seen in the old hell and asked bluntly, “Wasn’t he the only one who understood you and collaborated with you?”

Why did she have to hurt him?

“Were you afraid of him becoming the second Hanul?”
