The God's Games

Chapter 192: Abyss Zones (Part 3)

Even the live streaming chat went quiet.

[ Maybe the wars in real life look like this too? ]

[ This shows how precious the world peace is. We're lucky to live in a peaceful time where we don't have to fight for our lives. ]

Hanjun warned them, "Be careful. Don't eat anything here; everything is poisonous."

Master PungPong asked, "What about the horses?"

They had some food for themselves, but the horses couldn't go without eating.

Hanjun replied, "You don't need to worry about that."

The journey had been calm so far, so Spicy Flavor Fairy began to ask questions.

"Hanjun, where are we going?"

Holding the reins, Hanjun said, "The Abyss. Do you know what that place is?"

Your journey continues on M V L

Master PungPong and the others shook their heads, but Spicy Flavor Fairy remembered something, "The Abyss… I read about it in some documents. The followers of the God of Darkness believe that he sleeps in the Abyss. They want to find it and see it as a holy place. But even with all their efforts, they haven't been able to find the Abyss and always return empty-handed."

Hanjun listened to Spicy Flavor Fairy with satisfaction.

Master PungPong gave him a puzzled look and whispered, "How do you remember all this stuff?"

Spicy Flavor Fairy calmly replied, "Just in case. You never know when something like this might come in handy."

Master PungPong muttered, "Wow."

Spicy Flavor Fairy continued, "Besides, I believe the game company wouldn't just give us random quests. I figured there must be something useful here, so I made sure to remember it."

Master PungPong asked again, "If even the followers of the God of Darkness can't find this place, how do we know where it is?"

Hanjun smiled, "Because I know."

Master PungPong went quiet.

Alright, he had been proven wrong again.

How does Hanjun know everything?

Is the Holy Son of the Church of Light really all-knowing?

Hanjun said, "Just like you mentioned, the Abyss is where the God of Darkness sleeps. If humans find this place, the demons will surely panic. They'll be kept very busy."

Master PungPong wasn't convinced.

They were going deep into the demons' territory, trying to mess with the God of Darkness.

Escaping safely would be a miracle.

Besides, even if they, as players, could just respawn back in Ulon City if they died, what would happen to Hanjun?

"But he's the Holy Son of the Church of Light! If he dies here, how will the players explain it to Father Barry and Jenlyns?"

Hanjun ignored their worried looks and asked, "Let me ask you a question. Do you know what the demons want, or what the God of Darkness wants?"

Master PungPong and the others were stumped by this question and couldn't answer for a long time.

What do they want?

Isn't it just to destroy the world?

At least, that's what it's showing in the promotional video.

But if you asked them why, the players wouldn't know.

[ Here it comes, the important plot point! ]

[ Looks like the game has set a trap, and now it's up to the players to find out the truth! ]

Master PungPong glanced at the chat and hesitantly asked, "Isn't it to destroy the world?"

Hanjun shrugged his shoulder and said, "But why does he want to destroy the world?"

Master PungPong was at a loss.

How would he know why the villains want to destroy the world?

It's just how the game is set up, and everyone got used to it.

[ Are they trying to give the God of Darkness a backstory now? The reason for destroying the world? ]

Flower Deer said, "We don't know. Do you know the reason?"

Hanjun sighed, "The truth is, I don't know either."

If he hadn't lost his memory, maybe he would have known the reason.

Hanjun still didn't believe the explanations given by Father Barry.

Since there were so many players around, he decided to leave it to them to find the truth.

[ Got excited for nothing, I thought they were going to explain everything now. ]

Hanjun said, "Even though I don't know the full truth, I do know some things."

"Over a thousand years ago, there were only two gods in this world: the God of Light and the God of Darkness. People believed these two gods were the creators of the world of eorera, the gods of creation."

"The God of Light loved humanity and decided to teach them the skills they needed to survive. He shared his divine power with them, allowing them to learn magic to protect themselves."

"But for some unknown reason, a group of strange creatures began attacking humans. These creatures had human forms, but they also had beast-like features. They didn't need to eat or drink, and their only goal was to destroy their one enemy — humans."

"Humans found that the power of the God of Light could fight against these demons. But soon, they discovered something terrible — the God of Light no longer answered their calls. The power humans had was gone, and they could no longer defend themselves against the invasion of the demons."

"No matter how much they called out to the God of Light or prayed, the God of Light never appeared again. The humans abandoned their faith and set out on their own path, but this path was still full of danger and hardship."

Master PungPong and his team listened quietly until Hanjun continued with a twist.

"Until three days before you arrived in Ulon Town, Father Barry finally awakened the God of Light. The god said he didn't know why he fell into a deep sleep. Even though humans had abandoned him, he was still willing to protect them, so he allowed the Church of Light to summon the brave heroes."

The players knew the rest of the story from there.

After Hanjun finished speaking, it was time for the players to ask questions.

Spicy Flavor Fairy calmly asked, "The God of Darkness is also a god of creation. I've never read anything about that in any books I've seen. How do you know this?"
