Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 5)

Chapter 856: The Last (89)

It wasn't easy to ask tacitly about something one had decided not to talk about, but I couldn't do anything without resolving this question.

As I turned my gaze slightly, I saw Lee Kiyoung smiling, seemingly having lost his mind.

'Why did you have to get involved with a guy like that...?'

If I had known it would turn out this way, I would have paid more attention to him.

Benignore and Belial hadn't said anything yet, but the dice had already been cast. As I spoke again, they stared at me.

'I have to say what I have to say.'

"I... I didn't observe the Son of Light nonstop, but I'm certain that the dimensional sea in Mirror Lake isn't an easter egg. It's an obvious bug. It's strange that they managed to enter and exit the dimensional sea with a tattered, man-made ship in the first place."

"We can't consider it as a bug, Lauren. That..."

"Yeah. That's why he didn't fix it... That's what everyone might think."

"..."

"That could be the will of the system."

"..."

"The outer god was definitely out of the norm, so I thought the system gave a gift to the god of sunset and the Son of Light to combat them. I think that was a means to upgrade them for free. In fact, it could have been that way if he had chosen Longinus's Spear. He would be an enemy in the end, though, so it would've been meaningless..."

"..."

"But that wasn't what happened. I never saw that pendant used on the day of destruction or in the war against the outer god. It was hidden as if it didn't exist in the first place and treated as if it had never been obtained. He can't even remember it himself, let alone the followers of the Son of Light who went to Mirror Lake at that time, and the sunset god is in the same state. It's not even recorded in the Continental Archives. Wouldn't it make sense that someone intentionally deleted it?"

"Looks like you've dug up quite a bit. I can see your hard work."

"That's because I thought joining this place was a gamble. I needed to know what I needed to, right?"

"D-Didn't you believe me, Lauren?"

"That's not it. Since I was already coming here, I wanted to do things right. It was more for you than me."

There were definitely a lot of strange things. This situation was so bizarre that simply saying that it was strange wasn't enough.

'What is that, anyway? Why can't I see it?'

It felt weird not being able to check and confirm the item with my eyes, let alone with the Continental Archives. It couldn't be explained by saying someone had intentionally blocked it.

Of course, it was easy to guess who'd done this. It was obvious who'd blocked the information about it.

"I think it's Lucifer."

"..."

"It's probably her. Am I wrong?"

No demon would have been able to do this unless they were on the same level as her or higher, considering only high-ranking demons or gods could make this absurdity possible.

The question was, why had Lucifer done such a thing?

Why had she influenced not only the Son of Light but also his followers?

'It's a mythic-grade item.'

She chose it by throwing away Longinus' spear, which could kill even the gods...
