”How are you… wait, where is this place? Harpok's body is here too? What's going on Johra? Last I re has it been since then?”
”Ugh… you just got back and are already so annoying, shut up”
”Who are you talking to? Where did that gem come from?”
”Lena, I'll need a moment to have an uninterrupted chat with my friend here, could you make sure all our countermeasure are up so no one can spy on us”
”Got it!”
We hadn't spoken to each other in quite some tiinning our conversation a bit aard
Finally Lena's eavesdropping countermeasure were up and we could start
”Hoo I tried very hard not to think about you, but it seems that in the end I slipped up”
”Why? Surely our relationshi+p was much better towards the end no?”
”No, you should have told me hoerful Metatron was”
”How could I tell you, you were ignoring anything I said”
Sigh
Knowing now that Gnoss was actually a reincarnation of Harpok complicated our relationshi+p somewhat
”It's okay, I know undeads like you don't have emotions, after all I've observed you for quite some time…wait, why do you feel different? Leader of the Fallen, what's that? It isn't even a race or profession, a unique class? Ha ha ha~ you really do surprise me every time!”
”What do you know, the real surprise hasn't even arrived”
”Oh, and even bigger surprise? Please, do tell, I'm so curious!”
”Do you know about Harpok?”
”He's the God which stands even above the suprees He's the God of Whispers and Secrets
”What, there was a God which the suprees served?
”Yes, most of what I know, I do because of Harpok”
”I see…”
”Right, to becoe you need to be coe who reat match with Harpok”
”Yeah, no kidding since you basically are Harpok”
”Ha ha, my mentor would also say that I resemble Harpok quite a lot”
”No, I' you that you are Harpok”
”Wait what? I'm Harpok?”
”Right, Harpok once reincarnated on Earth and that was your past life”
”Wha…what are you talking about”
”Look, Harpok's body is here, but not his spirit He's already reincarnated
”What? Why would he abandon his body?”
”I was torturing him for information and he couldn't take the pain I suppose, so he coh his eye I could see that he had reincarnated and that he was living back on Earth Living your childhood”
”How shocking… I mean it's hard to believe, even for e”
”Here, I have your dead bodyAlthough you can't see it, you should be able to feel soht?”
”Yes… I can still vaguely feel Harpok's presence since he died a short tio By the way how did Harpok even die, a God's body is supposed to be immortal”
”For minor Gods it is possible to kill them with an Artifact class weapon”
”Do you truly have an artifact weapon?”
”Why do you ask?”
”Well if this truly is a God's body then I actually have so”
”Oh, how so?”
”As you know I've long been banished and we can only co contract we had made However, if I were to come in contact with a God's corpse, I believe I can take possession of it Sigh… is this fate?”
”Hmm… I see”
”Could you touch Harpok's corpse, Johra?”
I al to think This was an opportunity, he couldn't resurrect without my help
”Before I do so, let's make a contract, Gnoss”
”Contract? Do we really need more of those between us?”
”Of course, I still can't 100 trust you so I need this as an insurance”
”Ok, what do I need to do”
”I only require you to fulfill one condition”
”Just the one? Is the reason there is only one because it's a very stringent condition? Ok… just tell me already, I don't have much of a choice”
The more he spoke the weaker he sounded He knew that I had a confrontational personality that wouldn't back down, so he tried the opposite by appearing submissive He was truly a manipulative one
”I ask only that you be a true friend, and use all of your knowledge for my sake”
”Hh condition, but it's actually quite deep Still, my answer is yes”
”Great, thank you”
”Aren’t you wondering why I said yes?”
”I know you will tell me first”
”The reason Harpok chose death rather than spilling his secrets is that he didn't trust you I know you Johra, and ever since you've kept that proe on the Rohiet in contact with the God's corpse I'll be free of any restrictions and…”
”Are you sure you're not trying to trick me somehow?”
”No, I proet the full story after I take over that body”
”Is that a promise?”
”Yes, I swear it on my very soul”
”Good”
I brought the gem which Gnoss resided in and placed it on Harpok's corpse Upon contact it immediately absorbed the jewel and I stepped back to observe
”Uh… so is it reviving?”
It took about half an hour, but his body regenerated all injuries and he opened his eye
”Is that you Gnoss?”
”No, I'ain, but I now have Gnoss' memories Polymorph!”
He transformed in to Gnoss' human form
”Ah… it feels so comfortable in here Could it be because all those memories which match up perfectly with this body?”
Gnoss muttered to himself as he touched his body everywhere
”What you're doing is a bit weird, put some clothes on Gnoss, I mean Harpok”
”Oh right, Polymorph!”
He turned into the ed scientist which had contributed so much to the creation of Gamma
”Huh? Creator? Why are you here?”
Lena piped up and broke the silence
”Ah… well basically it's Harpok which has come back to life”
