”How stupid”
Jin, who'd learned the truth, said and went silent He probably had sos on the subject, so he didn't say anything either Soon, Jin spoke, as if he werethehting them? Did even God abandon them?”
”No, it's to protect the world If the undead curse spreads to the surface, then the world is as good as dead”
Since Lee shi+n Woo was undead himself, he didn't want to label the, the undead consu in return
That was their biggest flaw If all the beings that lived on this world became undead, then the only course the world could take is ruin It was only natural that God sought to eliminate the Undead Empire's curse
”But the Undead E about? Everyone's trying their hardest to live What are you going to do, let the underground inhabitants go to the surface? If you do that, then the underground and the surface will go to war It's been so long since the underground was isolated froe on the surface, the surface dwellers will be the only ones who'll suffer”
”Then why do you look so unwell? You don't syround citizens, nor do you hate the surface dwellers, so why”
”I feel bad for the heroes”
”Huh?”
As expected, Jin hadn't gotten that far yet Jin looked bewildered and Lee shi+n Woo explained kindly
”The heroes don't know anything and are being manipulated by God They don't knohat happened to the people underground, why they becah, but even if they eliminate the undead curse, all that's left for them is despair”
”Why despair Ah!”
Jin realized belatedly and was shocked
”The barrier that prevents the living froh I see! So the heroes can't leave the Underground E the heroes to do her dirty work, but once they've eliround”
”How could she Wait a sec What if they collect 100 peret that many, they can see the surface Wasn't her intent to let them escape to the surface?”
”No, absolutely not”
God's power seemed absolute, but Lee shi+n Woo knew that God, and by extension, Pleine, were just bluffing
”You've never thought about e're the only ones given the h there were dozens of heroes (seniors) before us”
”Just us Isn't it because, other than you, it's iather that h, but it's not undoable You can also get quests froo the surface if they gathered 100 permits, then they probably would have tried”
However, God had never given theiven that option to Lee shi+n Woo by surreptitiously saying 'save the permits' Why did she do that? Lee shi+n Woo realized why she'd done that early on
”If the other heroes were to gather 100 perless What are you talking about?”
”There were several clues Lee Man Bok hated God, and Pleine showed soht about it, he'd heard it before he had brought Jin to the secret shop to leave for the surface Lee shi+n Woo remembered that time and kindly told Jin what Pleine had told him
”She said if it were just me and you, it should be possible, but she also said I'd be the 'first and the last' Why would I be the last? That's because the other heroes can't pass through the gate”
”Ah!?”
That's right Pleine had borrowed God's power to create a gate that led to the surface, and while that gate looked like it could be used by the other heroes, it actually couldn't
Although she see about the barrier that divided the surface and the underground So it made sense that Lee shi+n Woo and Jin, eren't alive', could use the gate Looks can be deceiving Reh without any problems
It100 pero to the surface before No matter howthem to the surface!
”But the Bone Gate absorbed God's power and evolved into a level 9 artifact It blew God's expectations out of the water and possessed power greater than that of the chaos ele about the barrier from the surface, but the problem had already been solved So, there wouldn't have been any probleround e first arrived on the surface”
”It sounds really stupid”
”Yeah It does sound stupid, even while I' it”
Of course, the fact that Lee shi+n Woo's Heaven Door's Key could transport Ye Jin Jin to the surface was enough proof
However, that was merely the outcome The fact that the Heaven Door's Key had even been born was strictly luck Its creation hadn't been God's intention, but a result of Lee shi+n Woo's karh if all the heroes traveled around the Underground Ee to Lee shi+n Woo
”If we put everything together, we find that God's a bitch”
”Uh, yeah”
Lee shi+n Woo was flustered by Jin's extreh it wasn't his intention, he ended up defending her a little bit
”But I feel like God wasn't pleased with her choices either Whether she decided that things couldn't go on as they were, or that she pitied the heroes It doesn't matter After all, she turned you and o to the surface after we've completed our e the fact that the other heroes can't escape!”
”Yeah, so she didn't have a clear goal or plan in place She probably just hoped? We're both heroes and also entities that can enter the outside world; she was hoping that ould do so about that barrier”
”She should've been h”
