    “Liveta has lifted the block.”

    Herodite, seeing Illinore speaking with a happy face, had complicated feelings.

    “This early?”

    Goddess of Liberty, Liberta. She had long regarded Illinore as a thorn in her side. Even before the accident caused by the unicorn occurred in her world.

    Why was a unicorn discovered in Rivetta’s world? Herodite was suspicious of even that. I think it was planned to harm Illinois.

    However, that innocent Illinois is just smiling helplessly.

    “Liveta… You better be careful.”

    “I know that Liberta doesn’t like me. But, I am a sinner to Him. I’m glad I’ve been forgiven.”

    “It might not be that.”

    “You will know when you meet.”

    You already have an appointment. Herodite feels ominous.

    ‘This… I have to listen.’

    It was a while later that Illinore decided to meet Liberta. Herodite, who greeted Illinore and pretended to leave, followed behind Illinore.

    In Liberta’s space, she and Illinore faced each other. And, there was Herodite hiding in the dark.

    “Sera Lee. Because of her death, another person lost his life.”

    Illinore’s expression darkens at Liberta’s words.

    Livetta continued speaking with a dry expression.

    “Please accept it this time too.”

    “Okay… ”

    Illinore nodded in agreement.

    ‘no.’

    Herodite, who was hiding, resisted the urge to come forward right away.

    Because the two gods could not interfere with what was decided.

    However, if that decision causes chaos in Illinore’s world, she cannot escape responsibility. In the worst case, Illinois may disappear.

    Herodite, who guessed that this was what Liberta was aiming for, listened even more, but the conversation ended there.

    “Good. Then, let’s start the contract.”

    Contracts are not made through conversation. It is made up of mental connections and cannot be visualized. There was nothing more Herodite could find out.

    ***

    “So, you met Hye-na.”

    The reason Herodite came to this world has been summarized.

    “Liveta, that bitch, you’re a really bad bitch.”

    Liberta, the goddess of the world I lived in. I couldn’t look at her favorably either. The fact that you sent me to Illinore and blocked her means that you abandoned me.

    “Then, why did you ask Hye-na to meet me?”

    “This is just my guess.

    Rivetta thought you could bring chaos to this world. But surprisingly it was quiet. I was planning on leading Hye-na to provoke you. The contract must have been made so that Liberta would have the authority to do so.

    If you hadn’t found Hye-na first, I don’t know what order Liberta would have given her.

    Liberta, that bitch. You must have been upset because all your plans went wrong?”

    -Well, Herodite.

    It was the first voice I heard. But I know who it is.

    “You must be Riveta.”

    -That’s right. Sarah. Hello from the new world.

    “You asked so early.”

    I didn’t feel any need to hide my dissatisfaction.

    -I’d like to talk to you.

    “Why? What’s wrong with Herodite?”

    -Herodite’s intervention was unexpected, but it is difficult to agree with the statement that what I wanted was wrong.

    “What do you want?”

    -Should we meet and talk about it?

    The locked door opens. Beyond the door was not the living room. Just like when I met Illinore, small lights were twinkling in the air through the dark space.

    “Now, are you asking me to come into an unknown place?”

    I wanted to see him in person, but I couldn’t just go ahead and visit him.

    -Don’t worry. I cannot harm you.

    I looked back at Herodite.

    “Is it true?”

    “Yes, that’s right. Just as you could come back from Illinore’s space, you can come back at any time even if you enter. If Liberta threatens you, problems will grow in the God Realm.”

    “Would it be better to meet?”

    “I… Think so. If she sees that Rivetta invited you, she might tell you something she kept hidden from me and Illinore.”

    I looked at Herodite with suspicion. Then I remembered just one thing.

    Illinois may disappear.

    “Ha… I don’t know when I’m dead, but I’m very selfish about the subject.”

    I picked up my phone first.

    Yeoeun will be waiting for me to come out of the room.

    -sister? Why are you calling me?

    Not long after the beep, Yeo-eun’s voice was heard.

    “I think I should go to the divine world. I’ll be back soon.”

    -yes? Suddenly?

    Yeo-eun was silent for a moment, perhaps because she was surprised.

    -Are you coming soon?

    I just asked that.

    “Then. You are here.”

    I meant it.

    “I will never leave the world you are in.”

    -I’ll wait.

    “Yes, it will probably arrive by tomorrow.”

    It may not be possible, but if I have a lot of work to do in the new world, I could meet Yeo-eun for a while and then go.

    I hung up.

    “I’ll go to Illinois. You probably don’t even know what’s going on, so I should tell you.”

    “Okay. Please.”

    After saying hello to Herodite, I headed beyond the doorway to the realm of the goddess who had abandoned me.

    The door closed, and a wide, circular light was created covering the floor a few steps ahead. In the middle of it all stood a woman with long, straight red hair. The expression on her face as she looks at me directly is not visible here. I walked forward slowly.

    She also approached me at a similar speed. As if someone were a goddess, she flashed a beautiful smile.

    It was abominable.

    Aside from the fact that Herodite’s suspicions did not turn out to be true, it is true that she abandoned me, so I cannot be happy about it.

    When there were a few steps in between, she bowed her head.

    “Thank you for accepting the invitation.”

    I answered bluntly, crossing my arms.

    “Say what you want to say quickly. Because I don’t want to stay for very long.”

    “Illinois will disappear.”

    She still had her head down, so her expression was unreadable. Without realizing it, I grabbed her chin and lifted it up. dead pan. The fact that I couldn’t read facial expressions didn’t change. And, it didn’t matter anymore.

    “What do you mean?”

    “It’s Illinois’ decision.”

    “That can’t be… ”

    “We live for eons. If you want. Eleanor doesn’t want him anymore. It’s quite common in the New World.”

    It was not the time to be here like this.

    “I need to meet Illinois.”

    “Before that… ”

    She stopped me as I was leaving.

    “The conversation I want to have is the story after the disappearance of Illinois.”

    And he said something very suddenly.

    “Can’t you take charge of her world?”

    What does this mean now…

    “I… ”

    Even though Illinore was disappearing, that didn’t matter. But before I could finish speaking, she

    “Aren’t you curious as to why I sent Taeseo to that world and asked him to find you?”

    It piqued my curiosity.

    “Even if Illinois disappears, it will not happen immediately. Just listening to the story will be enough.”

    “Okay, say it.”

    “What do you think about chastity?”

    “Ha, are you asking if you know how I lived in the original world?”

    “Yes. sure. Free soul and body. He was my favorite person.”

    “Then, why did you ignore me when you died?”

    “Before answering, first. If you go back to the time before you were killed by the unicorn, would you be willing to continue your life in the original world?”

    does not exist.

    There is no Yeoeun in that world.

    However, I feel like I’m losing for some reason, so I change my mind.

    “Yes, it’s much better now. very good. But how will you make up for the time spent adjusting to the new world?”

    “If you become a god, won’t the rewards be overflowing?”

    “I’m not interested in that kind of thing.”

    I’ve never been a god, but even if I pretend to be, I find it annoying. I will live and die as a human being.

    “Then, I will share the power with you like Illinore, so would you like to go to the original world now?”

    I couldn’t answer.

    “Okay… I lost.”

    I admit it coolly. It was a pointless complaint.

    “Okay, back to what we were talking about earlier. I didn’t know you could get along with the goddess of chastity.”

    From the next words, the thought that Herodite’s guess might be correct was firmly established.

    “Chastity. To me, the goddess of liberty, it is oppression and violence. I thought you would destroy that old world, but you exceeded my expectations.”

    No, why bother destroying the world? Is it because he is a god? The scale of thinking is too big.

    “Why should I do that?”

    “Because you are a victim of innocence. I’m sure you remember. A gaze that despised your free will. And death by unicorn.”

    “Unicorns are… That said… It doesn’t matter that I was despised, right?”

    “Yes?”

    “ Surprisingly, I like chastity. Sympathy hunter. That’s me, right? And other bitches lived like me. Are there any virgins left for me to fuck? Well, there were a lot of bitches cracking pumpkin seeds in the background. Still, because I had that concept, I was able to enjoy my life. contempt? What does that have to do with anything?”

    “Ha… ”

    Liberta’s expression falls apart.

    “So you… You were planning on causing chaos in Illinore’s world and putting her in a corner, right? Since that didn’t work out, I dragged Taeseo in too.”

    “It is absurd to say that I was dragged in. Anyone who hears this will think I caused his death.”

    “Anyway. It’s true that we were cornered.”

    “Yes. To be honest, yes.”

    I’m rather suspicious because he agrees so easily.

    However, what was important now was not the doubts about Liberta.

    “But all your plans went wrong. But why is Illinois disappearing?”

    I wanted to prevent Illinore’s disappearance.

    “That’s… Please ask directly. To the person concerned.”

    I heard everything I was curious about. Even Liberta didn’t try to convince me right now.

    “Really… I like you more.”

    As if there was enough time.

    “I don’t like you. Where do you touch my daily prey?”

    But there is nothing to be gained by attacking God and saying you don’t like it.

    “I hope I never see you again.”

    I just raised my middle finger and headed towards Illinore.
