Chapter 250 – The Demon Wave 3 (2/2)
‘I should make a huge ark…’
Inotia, the City of Magic and Engineering, was located on the Heavenly Island, so it would be safe even if the Great Flood occurred.
So, he was considering whether to issue an order for his main talents to gather in Inotia and build an ark for their own survival.
Of course, they wouldn’t be able to build a large enough ship capable of carrying all the people living on the continent, so the loss of life was unavoidable.
‘No, that’s not a good idea.’
In the first place, preventing the Flood itself was the right and most efficient approach.
Helena sighed as Woohyuk continued to think.
“Phew… No matter how much I think about it, it’s impossible to save everyone from the impending Great Flood. Outside of everyone moving to another dimension altogether…”
“I heard that some magic books in the Ark of Knowledge describe how to move people to another dimension,” Woohyuk asked, cutting her off mid-sentence.
“That’s not something anyone can do. So, it’s pointless to consider,” she quickly explained.
Whether the flood would occur before or after the next full moon was purely in the realm of luck.
Therefore, it was a more desirable and more effective use of time to clear the epic quest of the Nag Hammadi Chronicles during this lull.
After hearing Helena’s advice, Woohyuk nodded.
“Alright, that sounds about right. Anyway, there’s nothing more we can do about this impending catastrophe.”
“You brought some soul stones from the ruins in the Northern Island. Since you have that, you can restore the Nag Hammadi Chronicles now.”
It was the last of the three ancient documents that he had to restore.
To restore the Nag Hammadi, Woohyuk had to call upon the Goddesses of Fortune with the soul stones.
Woohyuk injected his mana into the soul stones while sitting face-to-face with Helena in his office.
Sa-Ah~!
Blue flames fluttered from the soul stones, and soon, the surroundings were covered with white flashes.
[Who has called me?]
A woman’s voice rang out from the air.
Woohyuk knew who she was.
‘The goddess in charge of the past, Clotho.’
She remembered all the names of the lost Einherjars who were chronicled in the Nag Hammadi.
[My name is Chun Woohyuk. I called you to restore the Nag Hammadi Chronicles.]
[… Oh, so it’s you. You should already know the process, so shall I recall all the names on the list?]
Clotho remembered Woohyuk from the last time she met him, before his return to this world.
Woohyuk nodded his head and picked up a recording device that was developed by Aris.
[Speak. List them off. I’m ready.]
[Then, I will start.]
Clotho listed off countless names without a break.
After a long time…
[Is that all?]
[Yes, good job. You didn’t actually write the names down though.]
[It seems you can see me from the lakeside of Lake Urdarbrunn.]
[Since I’ll meet you soon, shouldn’t I investigate to a certain degree?]
Clotho was a cheerful goddess.
However, Woohyuk didn't believe in her words at all.
‘The three goddesses of destiny didn’t tell me anything about my past lives before.’
Furthermore, originally, Leifina was also the Goddess of Fate.
It was strange that a single position in the past was split into three different identities.
Woohyuk thought that this was due to the aftermath of the failed Odyssey Plan.
‘Since the system was somewhat derailed due to the irregular code, it’s possible.’
Goddess of the Past, Clotho.
Goddess of the Present, Lachesis.
Goddess of the Future, Atropos.
The three seemed to be sisters.
Last time around, he didn’t know anything, so he just passed by this division, but this time, he vowed to definitely uncover their secrets.
Drinking from the well of Urdarbrunn would bring back his previous life’s memories, so if he was told a lie, he would not easily be deceived.
Woohyuk played the recording device and started restoring the Nag Hammadi Chronicles with Helena.
“I see a lot of familiar names. Of course, there are many names I don’t recognize, too,” Helena commented from the side.
“History doesn’t remember all the heroes,” Woohyuk muttered.
Just as not everyone could become a hero, not all heroes could leave their name in history.
The human world is always grim and cold.
‘The Nag Hammadi Chronicles recorded the secrets of the gods.’
From the Godslayer weapon, Epion, to the destined ends of the gods…
There were many things written down in the Chronicles, but this epic quest was about the Einherjar.
‘After the restoration work, I have to go to Heavens and fight one of the Einherjars.’
Heroes who made big names for themselves in the past.
The pressure to fight and win against people like Reinhard, the best Paladin that Woohyuk ever met, was still considerable.
His current stats were greater than his previous life’s.
His equipment was also not inferior but fighting and defeating an Einherjar was by no means easy or simple.
Helena laughed when Woohyuk revealed his worries.
“Hahaha, are you nervous? Tell me, which Einherjar did you fight last time?” she asked.
“Penthesilea. She was a female Amazonian barbarian warrior,” he answered.
Certainly, she was a character that could be called a hero, but she couldn’t compare to the current Woohyuk.
Of course, he had fought her night and day for two days straight at that time. Only after a long, arduous battle did he succeed in defeating her.
Who would he be matched up with this time?
Feeling anticipation and anxiety, Woohyuk completed writing the last letter.
