Trash of the Count's Family

The final battle.

The peace that would come afterward.

Just thinking about that put a smile on Alberu’s face.

Chief Priest Gersey got the chills after seeing a gentle and calm smile appear on Alberu’s face.

The White Star.

No matter how talented he was and regardless of how he could reincarnate over and over through this curse that couldn't be considered a curse… He was still human.

But Alberu was asking what a human wanted from a god while smiling?

‘…He’s not normal.’

Gersey was thinking that something was twisted with this bastard as well.

Something was twisted with Alberu, similar to his liege.

Alberu walked a circle around Gersey as he started to speak.

"The ancient White Star gathered ancient powers with the five different attributes of nature. He is said to have been worshipped by his followers and became a god.”

Unfortunately, all of his efforts had turned into nothing when he lost the battle against the other ancient power users.

“Cale Barrow.”

Alberu was thinking that, although there were two individuals named Cale, this Cale was extremely annoying to even think about as he continued to speak.

“That person carried on the name of the White Star.”

That meant that he was carrying on the will of the ancient White Star and showed that he wanted to achieve what the ancient White Star had failed to do.

“He wishes to become a god.”

The sculpture of Barrow in the Temple of the Demonic God was proof of it.

But it seemed as if he didn't want to just be a regular god.

“He also desires the power of the Demonic race.”

Cale had said the following to Alberu.

< Hyung-nim, wouldn't someone like that be greedy for the powers of a god as well? >

“Wouldn't someone like that be greedy for the powers of a god as well?”

Greedy for the powers of a god.

That greed was something that was quite difficult, almost impossible, to achieve.

But was the White Star the kind of bastard who would give up because something seemed impossible?

Absolutely not.

“The White Star has the tenacity to reincarnate tens and even hundreds of times. Wouldn’t he dream of becoming a perfect existence?”

Someone with the determination to give up his family and numerous cherished individuals for power should want something at least at that level.

"That bastard took everything that the ancient White Star, the person who was claimed to be the strongest human ever, once possessed.”

In addition.

“He also gained the power of the Demonic race.”

Furthermore.

“He’s also greedy for the powers of a god.”

Finally.

“He’s probably dreaming of becoming an existence that has everything.”

The White Star was probably greedy for something greater than a god.

< Hyung-nim. Do you think the other gods sent us all sorts of signals in order to simply get in the sealed god’s way? >

< Gods are unable to meddle with things happening down below without a good reason. That is the law. >

Alberu started to think about the gods that they had even the slightest of interactions with until now.

The God of Death, the Sun God, the God of War.

Something that three gods would get involved with…

‘If the White Star gathers everything he wants one by one as he planned…’

It made sense for the gods to be concerned.

“Chief Priest Gersey, as you probably know already, the powers of a god are not something that can be obtained just because someone wants it.”

Alberu moved away from Gersey and sat down on the couch again.

“Which god would be willing to share their powers?”

Gods were not benevolent beings that were willing to share everything in Alberu’s opinion.

They were beings who could curse humans and even their bloodline.

‘Well, it is possible that a god would let someone borrow a portion of their powers.’

However, the god involved in this situation…

The sealed god was not someone who would do that. It was obvious based on what he was doing to Cale.

“The sealed god sharing his powers with the White Star?”

Alberu started to chuckle as if even he knew what he had just said was ridiculous.

He looked down at Gersey.

< Your highness. >

Cale had said the following.

< Do you think he is planning on taking it away by force and stealing it? >

“He’s trying to steal it, isn't he?”

Chief Priest Gersey's eyes were shaking, but not because his mind was chaotic.

Alberu had asked a question.

He wanted to know if the White Star was trying to steal the sealed god’s powers.

“Hmm? Am I right?”

Unlike Cale who had just had a hypothesis, Alberu was quite certain that was the case.

Power and influence.

Those were things that he wanted to a degree as well, the things that he had desired as he grew up.

“I'm right.”

That was why he got the answer he needed just by looking at Gersey’s expression.
