Adikia immediately slumped into the corner of the room.

A deeply furrowed brow and a frozen expression.

It seemed that being completely wrapped in a blanket was not just a sign of feeling down.

The cause? None other than Yudahee.

“What’s with that guy…”

For a moment, it felt as if his soul had escaped, leaving behind empty eyes.

When Yudahee turned away after slamming his hand on the table, he seemed to transform into something beyond chilling, evoking an indescribable sense of dread.

As if he had glimpsed into the abyss… What on earth was that?

If only he had said something like “I don’t want to, I can’t do this contract, I cannot betray the god I follow, Ugh… just kill me instead!” But no, it was far more shocking for Adikia.

To refuse so vehemently and then immediately head to the divine gallery was beyond comprehension.

Feeling slighted, he stormed out of the penthouse.

“Oh! He’s out, he’s out! Camera! Where’s my camera!!!”

“Miss Adikia, could it be related to Mr. Yudahee-!”

“People are interested in stories transcending species and lifespan-!”

Click.

He locked the door again.

He thought things had calmed down… but it seemed that calmness was only applicable within the divine gallery.

While human news was in chaos due to the new second arena, it didn’t mean that other areas of interest were completely buried. In fact, entertainment news seemed to be even more ablaze.

Previously, there had been reports here and there about love stories between gods and their contractors, but a love triangle involving two goddesses… Would the bloodthirsty piranhas of the entertainment industry easily let go of such a feast?

Chewing, savoring, speculating, and while subculture creations flooded in from all sides…

Would this really be forgotten? With this doubt, a bead of sweat trickled down Adikia’s throat.

“Truly, it’s rolling along quite amusingly-”

At the sight of events unfolding on Earth, Atlrak Nacha seemed to smile as if finding them interesting.

A shallow, trembling laughter from the universe.

An entity exuding unintended fear in every action, Great Old One Atlrak Nacha found herself able to feel an emotion long forgotten: happiness.

It would have been a series of apathetic moments under normal circumstances, but since meeting Yoo Da-hee, something within her had gradually started to change.

…Not for the worse, but rather for the better.

Locating Earth’s coordinates was easier than she had anticipated.

Though her body was hastily assembled, the materials used were none other than the contracted agents of the deities.

What remained on the bodies strewn across the ground were not just traces of blood, but also the remnants of divine power sown by the contracted gods for their agents, abundant with signs of that power.

Tracing the marks of that power and, simultaneously, feeling out the soul imprints of the contractees whose immortality was guaranteed—a repetitive task.

And once the intersection was found, pinpointing the coordinates marked the end.

From her own body, Atlrak Nacha detached a small spider and projected it to the designated coordinates.

Admittedly, the method employed at the end was somewhat inaccurate due to intuition, but even so, the accuracy was quite high, given the rough estimation.

In fact, even if it hadn’t been high, would it have mattered much?

Near the approximate arrival point, the lingering traces of divine power flowing here and there guided her to Earth.

Altlrak Nacha gazed at Earth, preparing herself.

I’m not talking about pointless acts like invading Earth.

The precious form of a small sphere that Atlrak Nacha cherished.

Contained within it was… Han In-yeong.

A red-haired woman.

When she stood before Yoo Da-hee previously, she was a makeshift product based on the contractees of other deities, but now, things were different.

Plenty of time, ability, and… even the materials.

Even now, it seemed as if the taste of Yoo Da-hee’s blood lingered vividly in Atlrak Nacha’s mouth.

In the past, the taste of red blood was no different from the offerings that regularly came to her, but to Atlrak Nacha now, it was an unparalleled delicacy.

And a precious… ingredient.

The tip of the slightly forked tongue and the blood that had been swallowed with the urgent body at that time were deeply stored inside Gocha’s throat. To think that a body was made from the blood of someone so precious. The appearance might not be much different from before in the arena, but… nonetheless, there was a significant change, and that was the relationship with Gudahee. Based on the obtained blood, a new family tree was laid out. Surely, it would be appropriate to refer to her physical form like this on Earth. Gudahee’s “[Nuna],” that is. It was said that blood is thicker than water on Earth. In other words, if the same blood flows, wouldn’t one become closer to Gudahee than anyone else? At’laq Natcha seemed to smile at the thought. Of course, apart from that, there was a strong desire to become even closer to Gudahee.

[Harps~] For some reason, she really liked that word, and At’laq Natcha’s chuckle spread throughout the universe.

“Damn, gives me goosebumps.” What’s going on? What’s going on exactly?

Visible goosebumps appeared on Gudahee’s arms. The prickly hairs didn’t settle easily, spreading not only on her arms but throughout her body… it was quite unsettling. And the sensory roar ringing in her head. There was nothing particularly wrong with her condition. She comfortably lounged in the penthouse of the space station, where no one could interfere, so it would be strange if she felt uncomfortable. She even used the internal gym facilities, thinking she might as well gain some weight, but it ended with just a simple warm-up exercise. It’s unreasonable for something like this to suddenly happen to her body. But such things don’t happen without reason. There’s always a cause. Perhaps it’s reasonable to think that someone might have cast a curse… A curse. Thinking carefully about who might have the audacity to cast a curse on her, the thought “Could it be—” flashed through her mind. Not a curse, but someone who could leave something comparable to it. “At’laq Natcha would never do such a thing.” It was she who willingly complied with the summoning ritual and returned.

More importantly, the place she was summoned to was a planet entirely different from Earth.

It’s unlikely, no, it shouldn’t be like this, murmured Yoo Da-hee quietly, but why does her intuition deny him?

Should I make and eat some good medicine for my body soon?

As the chilling sensation that had spread all over her body gradually disappeared and the endlessly boring time began to pass again, a storm began to rage in the divine gallery.

Unless it’s something significant, there wouldn’t be an alert from the management office.

Perhaps it was an attempt to finally respond after a long silence, as when she clicked on the notice posted by the management office, a video appeared before her and slowly began to play.

[Notice][Teaser]

It started as a very small blue dot.

The pale blue dot, which didn’t look special at all, began to enlarge and gradually reveal its form.

As the shape became fully visible to the eye, those who watched the video could realize.

This, isn’t it the planet where Shinboong took a magnificent shot and gloriously oxidized it?

It looked blurry at the time, but now it was different.

The appearance of the entire planet, so endlessly complete, the video seemed to darken, but a beam of light enveloped the entire planet, not projecting the barrier engraved on my body outward.

Unlike the previous arena, it was crafted on an incomparable, gigantic, overwhelming scale, emitting light and illuminating the universe.

And as the white light filled the video and simultaneously dimmed, white letters floated on the black background.

[ SEASON 2 ]

-MAGYE-

Divine Management Office X Manma Broadcasting Company

” ! ! ! ”

With that, the video came to an end… but the excitement of the divine beings was just beginning.

ㄴGrrrrrrr~~~

ㄴIs the management office really going crazy?

ㄴFor real lol

[Shin.JPG]

-Mikaela standing in formal attire.JPG

ㄴHey, don’t suddenly set off a flash in the middle of the night lol

ㄴIs Mikaela your friend?

ㄴNo, but seriously, he’s a goddamn god, you crazy people lol

ㄴNow… there’s… no stopping…!

[Manma Management Office Theme Song Update…]

-Someone clearing out the sell window.JPG

ㄴWhat is this… damn it, should’ve bought it back then, should’ve bought it back then, should’ve bought it back then, should’ve bought it back then!!!

Only those who want to live and not a single seller in sight. Is this what happens when that occurs? LOL

Wasn’t Maria trying to hit rock bottom with stocks just a while ago… I thought she was a street peddler from Zimbabwe, but my heart is truly swelling…

[Speculation] About the new arena created through the collaboration of Mansinjeon and Manmajeon.

First, assuming that the barriers shown in the video are not just for show, it is possible that this arena may unfold as something completely different from the previous 10km x 10km limit of the old arena.

Even just calculating the simple amount of divine power released, the overwhelming output could be more than ten times that of the previous arena, and the stage size could be multiplied several times over. Perhaps it was at the request of Mansinjeon that such a structure was devised… It was truly magnificent.

Everyone is going crazy over the official news of the second arena finally being revealed.

So, what about the Three Islands Goddess then?

You damn bastard, is that really important right now? The arena has opened! (39.7)

It seems like this guy is clueless. He’s probably going to post some nonsense like “Hey guys, we’ve worked hard for three years, let’s laugh about it later” for sure. Seriously (106.101).

Even in such a storm, Yoo Da-hee quietly dealt with the remaining mess through her fluid body technique.

Bad pasts should be forgotten quickly.

We couldn’t tell who the troublemaker was, but anyway, that Three Island plot was buried along with the frenzy of the arena reopening.

But that alone wasn’t enough…

…Endless cheering is an unsustainable act.

As always, interest burns and fades quickly…

Of course, this week’s topic was significant enough to blow everyone’s minds, but adding a little conflict is the secret to longevity – that was Teacher Yoo Da-hee’s opinion.

And that spoonful was thrown into the divine gallery.

[So what now?](39.7)

-But honestly, there’s no precise date, just one planet photo shown, and already making a fuss seems a bit much, don’t you think?

???

What’s up with that guy?

Everyone else is fine, why is he acting up?

“Level up! Kick that bastard out!”

Already feeling heartwarming, Yoo Dahee sniffed lightly at the heartwarming sight.
