Chapter 423: A Problem From Above (6)

"What about it?"

[Even though you're this kind of tras–no, human, you didn't deserve that...]

'What the hell are you saying? I'm fine.'

Honestly, I really was.

I could understand that something had happened on Earth, causing the people who managed it to give us over, but it was a little difficult from my point of view to think of it as sad and unfortunate.

To put it bluntly, I didn't feel anything.

If she were to say something about being abandoned by my parents, it would be worth crying about, but I was abandoned by the Earth, not by my parents.

The scale was so great that it was difficult to say from where to mourn.

'God is a god, after all.'

Their perspective was different from humans. Compared to the beginning, when she was going crazy, she now seemed very quiet.

Noticing that she was answering my question seriously, the statue in front of me began to look slightly different. As I was lost in thoughts, I heard Benignore's voice again.

[I'm glad if you think you're fine... Anyway, that's what happened. I-it's a bit sad from our point of view.]

"It can be seen that you accepted refugee. Well... Should I be grateful?"

[You don't have to. It was an unavoidable choice for us as well.]

"Hmm... So you mean something is wrong with Earth right now?"

[There has always been a problem there. The same is true for this world, but... If you are asking if there is something different from usual, the answer is yes. But I can't tell you the details. That place is out of my jurisdiction, to begin with. Besides, they want to hide themselves over there...]

"Hmm..."

[Hmm... Wait a minute. If you're worried about your sister, you can rest assured. Rather...]

Yulha had a personality that would keep her alive even if left alone in Antarctica, so I wasn't really that worried.

"No. I'm actually okay about Yulha."

[So the questions end here?]

"I have one more."

[What?]

"Kim Hyunsung. Does this also have security?"

[Partly. There are parts I don't know. But there is something I can tell you. What exactly are you curious about? The first round?]

"The reason he returned. And what on Earth is Altanus who brought Kim Hyunsung back?"

I could say that was the main question, and it was the one I was most curious about.

Seeing how she became quiet for a while, it also seemed to be hard to answer.

As I slowly patted the statue on the shoulder, I heard her voice again.

[The reason he returned was that Altanus wanted it.]

"..."

[Altanus is a god and a manager like us. And she was also in charge of Kim Hyunsung.]

"As expected. Where is Altanus? Can I meet her?"

[No. It's impossible.]

"Why?"

[Altanus no longer exists.]

"Ah..."

[She is dead. No, to say that she has disappeared would be more appropriate. She paid the price for turning back time. But we are taking over that will.]
