The mission doesn't end there, it's exactly what Kild and the others expected—they had always thought that they would spend too much time with the Grim Reaper, but the truth was a huge disparity for them.

Escorting the Reaper back to the capital doesn't sound like a very difficult task, but considering the attacks they've been on their way here, it's not as simple as it seems.

Rossos is ready, there's no doubt about that. They walked into the ruins almost in front of Deparry, even though he had been thrown into the unknown grass by Figilio by that time.

The millennia-old things that they heard from the mouth of the Grim Reaper almost made it clear to Roseos what he was standing for. Rossos wanted to be unfavorable to the gods, since he would have tried to keep the Grim Reaper trapped in this place, then he would not sit idly by and watch Keyrd and the others bring the Grim Reaper back to the capital.

However, Rossos's technical and magical abilities are also too huge, and if Rossos takes out the prop used by Deparry again, I am afraid that they will not be able to resist the current situation that the Grim Reaper cannot become a combat force.

However, Kyild's fears were dispelled by the reassurances of death.

"If something happens like that on the way back, Phigie won't sit idly by." "You have to watch out for what humans can obstruct. At that time, Phigi was able to intervene because the power that the man wanted to drive should not be within the realm of human control. If it were just a fight between ordinary humans, he, as a god, would be bound by the rules of the world. ”

With the promise of death, they didn't hesitate any longer, and simply packed themselves up and prepared to leave the ruins.

"Why do you know what's going on out there?" Lanorda asked the Grim Reaper her doubts, "I'm not questioning anything, it's just that if this ruin can be cut off from the gods, then how do you break through this limit?" ”

Valuto didn't feel offended, he thought seriously about her question, as if to gauge how he should answer.

"The restriction of divine power in this relic is actually from the pressure of both me and Roseos." Valuto smiled slightly, "Rossos wants to suppress me here, of course, because he doesn't want other gods to rescue me, so he uses the magic passed on to us by the creator god to make a little change, so that the souls who 'have an independent godhead' and 'have the breath of Godhead' other than him cannot enter and exit, so as to eliminate the possibility of the gods using the medium to interfere here." ”

Valuto waved at the merfolk in the lake, and led them back to their previous passage to the merfolk's singing.

"And I have strengthened this defense, since other gods can't get in, then he doesn't want to come in." A moment of cunning flashed in the Grim Reaper's eyes, "I've made a slight change to the barrier to return it to its original state, which is 'cut off from all independent godheads'. Magic has a nature of affinity towards the source, and this enchantment is what was first taught to us by the God of Creation, so it's very easy to turn it back. ”

“…… So, doesn't your divine power fall into this category? Lanoda cautiously guessed, "Divine power seems to come from the Godhead?" But if your divine power can pass through this barrier, then it doesn't come from your godhead? ”

Valuto led them to a path they hadn't taken when they entered, and it seemed that even the pressure on the elements had been relieved a lot. He tapped lightly on the wall, which opened a gap in it, before he turned back and nodded to Lanorda.

"It was no secret a thousand years ago, and all the gods knew where the divine power of the Grim Reaper came from." He waved his hand in the air, and the dimly lit passage brightened up for a moment, "But it didn't help, so Roseos didn't try to restrain me—as if he really had something to do." ”

The Grim Reaper seemed to be very disgusted with Rossos, and every time he mentioned him, his tone became extremely sarcastic. But it's no wonder that no one would have a good look at a man who has locked himself up for a thousand years.

"There may be many different legends about the god 'Grim Reaper', but most people will think that the 'Grim Reaper' is the cause of human death, or that when humans die, the 'Grim Reaper' will come and take them away." Valuto shrugged his shoulders slightly, "But that's not the case. The life and death of human beings have long been predestined, and even without me, human beings would have been born, grown, and perished on their own. ”

"Do you mean that our fate has long been written?" Lanoda cautiously asked, "I remember that in the book that Organi gave us earlier, it was written that you were only protecting our destiny from outside interference......"

"The second half of the sentence is correct, but the fate of mankind is not written by anyone." Varuto shook his head, "The development of humanity is determined by themselves. The future of mankind is changing all the time, and new futures are constantly being created by each person's personality, environment, and circumstances. All the Grim Reaper needs to do is stop the gods from interfering with humanity in order to disrupt their trajectory – even though most gods don't think that's going to happen. ”

"In other words, if the gods are not trying to disrupt the trajectory of humanity, but for some other purpose, such as just wanting to live with humans, or attacking humans for some personal reason, will such behavior not be stopped?"

Wokan couldn't help but join the Q&A, the Grim Reaper was far more kind to humans than they thought, so they no longer felt overly inhibited.

"For the most part, that's exactly what happened." "But there's another way to decide about attacking humans. If a human being has his own personal grudge with a god, it is their own cause and effect, which is also a normal human experience. But if a god wants to ruin the trajectory of someone's fate, even if he does something that is helpful to that human being, it is not allowed. ”

"So, in the war back then, did what the goddess did belong to destroying the trajectory of mankind?" Rosette asked softly, "She was at war with the Demon King, so isn't her attacking humans counted as attacking the enemy's camp?" ”

"If a god attacks humanity on a large scale, for whatever reason, it is forbidden." Valutto's voice became a little low, "The creator god wants the gods to coexist peacefully with mankind, and going against the creator god's hope is tantamount to violating the rules of the world. I don't know what happened to the gods of the goddess side at that time, and why they still started a war with the goddess even though they knew that she had done such a wrong thing, but I knew that this should be stopped. ”

Biancole secretly tugged at Kryd's sleeve, so that Kyrd, who was listening in fascination, had to turn his attention back to the girl beside him.

"Young Master, what are they talking about?" The girl asked in a whisper, "I don't understand at all." ”

Kyild only touched Bianco's head soothingly.

"I'll tell you about it later." "There's a lot going on here," he said mildly...... It's normal that you don't understand right now. ”

Hearing such an answer, Biancole didn't ask any more questions. She followed closely to Kryd's side, listening to them continue to talk about the subject that made her sleepy.

"So, what exactly does your divine power come from?"

The conversation has somehow turned back to its original content, and they seem to have reached the end of the path. Valuto opened the door in front of them, and they actually returned to the surface from a position a few kilometers away from the entrance of the ruins.

"I think, in terms of your ability to think, you should already have the answer." Death looked into the distance, and there seemed to be a trace of melancholy in his expression, but he still did not forget to answer Lanoda's words, "All my power is used to protect humans, so my power also comes from humans. ”

"As long as humanity is alive and humanity recognizes the existence of the 'Grim Reaper', then your divine power will exist in this world." Ranoda said in an admiring tone, "So, it doesn't come from your godhead, and it won't be affected by that barrier. ”

Valuto gave her an approving smile.

"Where we are now is three kilometers north of the ruins." Wokan and Letti managed to check where they were, "Actually, it's not that far, and if the people of Roseos do put an eyeliner around the ruins, then we can be spotted soon." ”

"If we want to get back to the capital as soon as possible, the best way is to hire transportation." Kryld looked at Leti inquiringly, and received an affirmative gesture from the latter, "We people are too conspicuous to walk on the road, and we can't walk fast just by walking. ”

"I think it's more appropriate for Letty to do this." Touching his chin, Walkan said, "Letty has been out there for a long time, and he must have learned a lot about how to keep it from attracting attention." ”

"Lord Valuto better hide with us." Lanoda said to Wokan, "Otherwise, it's too eye-catching, isn't it?" ”

"The terrain around here...... I don't know that well. Wokan grimaced, "We may need to look for it while we shop." ”

Lanoda rolled her eyes at him and pulled the space bag he was carrying into her hand.

"Here, let's see what other props we can hide." Lanoda beckoned to Rosette and Bianco, "If Wokan wants to find any cave grass, let him find it himself, don't let him drag us down." ”

Rosette covered her mouth and chuckled softly, Biancoo tilted her head to look at Lanorda, and then at Kyalde, who was also smiling. Finally, when Wokan snorted on Lanorda's body, Kylde took the bag of space that Rai had given him, and counted the rest of their inventory.
