Chapter 899
## Chapter 899
Two individuals were gazing at the glass containers before them within a control room filled with various massive magic circles that covered the floor, walls, and ceiling.
They were Ran and Myu. They looked exactly the same as when they were flagbearers of the Runcandel, only now they wore black robes instead of flagbearer coats.
They confirmed that one of the five containers glowed red. Anne was inside that container, and the red light meant that she had lost her body in the human world.
“…Isn’t this really fast? She hadn’t even been in the human world for an hour since she arrived from the True Demon World,” Ran said, shaking his head.
Myu shrugged in response. “Yeah, seems like our elder sister has become much colder than we thought. Or maybe someone else, like Jin or the former Black Knight, went to support her and was defeated by them. Either way, luck wasn’t on our side. Let’s get all the details when she wakes up.”
Anne would take at least a month to regain consciousness and come out of the glass container.
They inspected three empty glass containers and the control room. They carefully examined the glass containers, checking for any cracks, and infused more mana into the faded magic circles inscribed all over.
Once they finished their work and left the control room, they headed straight to the nearest transfer gate. In the human world, it was the Hufester Central Transfer Gate that had been closed since the Sword Emperor Castle War.
The guide at the transfer gate lowered his head in fear as the brothers entered.
“Welcome, newcomers… you are administrators.”
Administrators, that’s what they were called in this world. Anyone living here feared the administrators more than any other powerful faction.
“Where would you like to go?”
“To the Creator’s Place.”
“I’ll prepare it right away!”
Lokia had created this world a long time ago, and the name “Creator’s Place” was given to Ganesto’s residence. Lokia had had many titles over the centuries, and among them, “The Creator” was a title that people used to address her during her time as the Great Knight.
“Suddenly, an idea popped into my head,” Myu said as they entered the first-class cabin.
“What is it?”
“The Matriarch gave the Ganesto main house the title she had when she was one of the ten great knights.”
“Why did you mention that?”
“I was just wondering if she still has any lingering feelings from that time.”
The transfer gate took them to their destination in an instant. The Creator’s Place was identical to the Garden of Swords from a thousand years ago, only the name and location were different.
“You’ve been coming here every day since you left the Poisonous Demon Castle, but did you really have to ask? Of course, you did. She couldn’t let her utopia slip away right before her eyes,” Ran commented.
[T/L: 이상향 – Utopia/paradise; The ideal world or place.]
“Well, yeah, that makes sense,” Myu replied.
However, there wasn’t a single person in the Creator’s Place, and it felt desolate.
In the garden, there were far fewer swords embedded compared to the real Garden of Swords in the human world, and no one was passing by. The only ones who used this vast garden were the Ganestos and no one else. There were no servants, no assistants, no knights, no one. The only sounds were the cries of insects, making it eerily silent.
The two walked towards the training room where Joshua might be.
In the center of the training room, as always, Joshua was sitting in meditation. Meditation was what he did most since he awakened the blood of Ganesto within him.
“1st Flagbearer.”
Joshua, and those who were rescued from hell, also became flagbearers in Ganesto. 1st Flagbearer Joshua, 2nd Flagbearer Ran, 3rd Flagbearer Vigo, 4th Flagbearer Myu, and 5th Flagbearer Anne.
Of them, only Vigo hadn’t completed his awakening yet. Therefore, Vigo had never been to the Creator’s Place.
“You have come.”
“Anne has lost her body in the human world. She won’t wake up for at least a month.”
“It was inevitable that it would happen sooner or later. It doesn’t matter if Anne doesn’t meet expectations.”
“Should we inform the Matriarch?”
“No, I will talk to Mother about that.”
Unlike the other flagbearers of Ganesto, Joshua referred to Lokia as Mother. The other flagbearers believed it was because Joshua had experienced the deepest awakening, deepening his connection with Lokia.
[T/L: For heaven’s sake, when this mother’s boy is going to grow.]
“Understood.”
“Has there been any failure?”
The world created by Lokia was unstable.
Generally, the entire history of this place followed the will of the creator, Lokia, but there were often cases of unexpected problems arising. Powerful individuals who could unexpectedly change the balance of the world, disruptions in the power structure, or inexplicable natural disasters that caused destruction where it shouldn’t have happened, among other things.
The job of the administrators was precisely to correct those failures. When a threat to the world arose, they eliminated it. When a necessary building was destroyed, they rebuilt it. When something unwanted appeared, they removed it.
Ideally, these processes would go unnoticed by everyone, but there had been cases where the public had become aware of these operations. That was why everyone feared the administrators.
Fundamentally, creating a ‘perfect’ world was one of Lokia’s long-held desires.
“There are no serious failures confirmed at the moment, but Sereal Zipple seems to have become a bit more aggressive. Unlike usual, he killed some people who disagreed with him at the recent Lutero Magical Federation Convention.”
“The deceased were heads or flagbearers of small clans with little influence, so it shouldn’t be an immediate problem. However, Sereal Zipple has been designated as a priority target.”
“Sereal Zipple… in the human world, he holds a position similar to Veradin Zipple, right? Understood, if it seems like he’s going to be a failure, inform me before taking any action.”
“Understood.”
“Myu.”
“Yes, 1st Flagbearer.”
“Is your body in the True Demon World still intact?”
“Yes. I’ve hidden it well in the Abandoned Volcanic Zone. My body in the human world is also in good condition.”
“Go to the Poisonous Demon Castle in the True Demon World. Inform Sir Kelliark that something has happened to Anne. Druga Kilet would have seen the situation and may have gone directly to the Grosch Castle, but she would find it difficult to convey the information to Ragal immediately due to Sakiel’s watchful eyes. According to Sir Kelliark’s speculations, it seems Visepps has joined the Runcandel forces.”
“Indeed, our younger one seems to have incredible luck, whether then or now. After the war began, not having information from the True Demon World must’ve been a challenge. But, even if he had stayed put, people like Visepps would naturally find their way to him.”
“That’s not luck. It’s more like an inevitable outcome due to Jin’s actions over time.”
“Visepps didn’t have many options besides joining the Vamel Alliance. Considering that seeing Anne trapped in the glass container for a month suggests things have gone wrong. With so much to do and a shortage of manpower, it’s no wonder. If only Rosa Runcandel, no, Rosa Ganesto was here; she would’ve been a great help by then.”
Joshua chuckled.
“In that case, you wouldn’t have been able to live as comfortably as you do now.”
“If Rosa Runcandel had fully awakened as a Ganesto and treated us like she did during her Runcandel days, we would’ve seriously considered asking the Matriarch to purge her.”
Joshua remembered the conversation he had overheard from Lokia about the Evil God. A conversation between Jin and the last remaining humanity of Rosa Runcandel who separated from the evil god.
-Maybe I stopped fighting because I was tired, because I couldn’t see the path anymore, or because I felt I had done enough. Becoming the evil god must have been the easiest and most tempting path. Maybe… among all the paths I’ve walked before becoming the evil god, it was the most appealing and effortless.
-I’m on my way to punish her for her sins as the 12th flagbearer of the clan. If you have any last words for the evil god, let me know.
-Please… let death not be a comfortable escape. Let my miserable soul and body be trapped somewhere, suffering eternally. Even if eternity passes, never release me from that torment. I… always… wish to be by your side, more than anything…
Lokia had informed Joshua that the curse the human Rosa Runcandel had placed on the evil god had come true.
Both the human Rosa Runcandel and the evil god Rosa Runcandel had completely disappeared from this world, making it impossible for them to go to hell or ascend to the reincarnation cycle.
It was something that couldn’t be reversed even with the powers of any immortal beings left in the current era.
“Rosa Runcandel has completely disappeared, so there’s no point in discussing this.”
“But since the 1st Flagbearer laughed, it seemed like a good joke.”
“I’m someone who laughs often, so there’s no need to be proud of it.”
“Then how about our beloved enemy, the beauty we all want to kill? What if the younger one awakened as a Ganesto? Is that a possibility?”
Joshua had asked Lokia the same question that Myu did.
“Jin is Solderet’s contractor, so he can’t awaken as a Ganesto.”
“I don’t understand why our awakenings are classified as a curse. Then, could the others eventually awaken someday?”
“That also depends on what we do in the future. If Mother’s world becomes perfect enough to replace the human world, all the brothers of the Vamel Alliance will become Ganestos. Even Jin…”
Unlike other Ganestos, Joshua had no interest in Jin’s awakening or his other brothers.
He had a desire to prove to his mother that they could achieve things even without them. However, if possible, he hoped Dr. Qwaul could awaken at any time.
Considering the level of skills he possesses compared to inherited blood, Dr. Qwaul was still a significant and beneficial variable within the Vamel Alliance. In Lokia’s world, he was like a walking lump of failures.
“No more assumptions or pointless jokes for now. Ran, starting today, you will take over the role of overseeing the Creation Space for a while.”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to the human world. It seems Mother has finally found some clues about that person. Lucy Runcandel, the last great knight from a thousand years ago that Jin has never seen before. You’ve thoroughly checked the glass containers, right?”
“Yes, I’ve adjusted them perfectly.”
Joshua rose from his seat.
“I’ll leave right away. If you encounter any failure that you can’t handle alone, inform Mother immediately. And just in case, don’t mention anything about Lucy Runcandel to Sir Kelliark when you meet him, Myu. Lucy has fire dragons that Sheenu wants.”
“Oh, is that a joke? You still see me as Myu from the Runcandel days?”
Joshua chuckled again.
“Yes, it’s a joke.”
“Well, it’s not funny. Have a safe trip.”
As he headed to the control room, Joshua pondered the identity of Lucy Runcandel.
‘Even the fire dragons that Sheenu couldn’t control obey her. The mother of all imprisoned dragons… my mother deserves to be cautious.’
