Chapter 1285 1285. The Locations Of The Divine Factions

"Huh? Are you truly the designer of Second World?" Jack asked.

"Stop spouting nonsense. There is no such thing as a G.o.dkiller," Wilted said. "From its name, I a.s.sume it is something to kill a G.o.d?"

"Your a.s.sumption is not wrong. Master used one to kill a G.o.d during the war."

"He did?! Tell me everything about what happened!"

So, Jack told her Greed's tale about what happened when the G.o.ds were tussling up there in the sky.

"Pride and Greed switched sides…? Hope died…? This… This is a lot to process," Wilted uttered. "But the most worrying thing is that Hope is gone…"

"Yeah, I know. Now the Good G.o.ds have no advantage over the bad ones anymore," Jack said.

"That is not why I said it is worrying. You asked me before about the main quest, didn't you?" Wilted asked back.

"Yeah. What about it?"

"Leading the underworld force are the seven devils, and leading the seven devils is Lucifer."

"Yeah, I know. I also know that Lucifer is a being of G.o.d's level. Are you worried because the bad G.o.ds will increase their number by one and thus gain an advantage over the good ones? We don't have to worry about that since the main quest is no more, correct? The underworld force won't be invading."

"So, you know. But my reason for worry is not that Lucifer will aid the bad G.o.ds. If he comes into the upperworld, he will also treat the bad G.o.ds as enemies. The reason for my worry is that the only G.o.d capable of stopping Lucifer is Hope. If he is gone, then Lucifer will be unstoppable."

"Oh…"

"But you are right. Since the main quest is no more, the underworld force won't be invading… Let's hope it stays that way. Anyway, my partner and I truly didn't design the G.o.dkiller. We put the G.o.ds as the caretakers of this world's balance system. Why would we design something that can kill these beings?"

"Well. Even if you said so, the fact is still that G.o.dkiller exists. I take it that Master is the one who created this tool. Is it an alien ent.i.ty?"

"No. He won't be able to create an alien ent.i.ty of that power. The world system won't allow it. He must have created the tool by modifying something already existing in this world. You mentioned Fear created it using a recipe, right? Then it is part of this world. Even so, I can't imagine how he circ.u.mvents the world system to create such a powerful item. We design the G.o.ds so that they can only be killed by one another, no other things in this world can kill them. So, he will need to create an item at the level of a G.o.d… Wait, unless…"

Jack was just silent without sending Wilted any messages. He could see the girl was deep in thought. He didn't want to disturb her thought process.

"… I understand now," Wilted said. "That's why Master invaded the Council of Virtus. I have always wondered why he bothered to spend his resources to take such a risk. Earning the ire of a divine faction is no small matter."

"Are you saying the reason is to create this G.o.dkiller?"

"The G.o.dkiller will need a component at the level of G.o.d's power. Divine treasure is one such item, but he needs those treasures to become a G.o.d, he won't waste those divine treasures to kill other G.o.ds. But there is another thing with a power of that level. It is the divine heritage."

"Divine heritage? So, Master destroyed the Council of Virtus to get that thing?"

"Most likely. The divine heritage is the essence of a G.o.d in the rare case they die because of fighting one another. However, G.o.ds are immortal. They don't truly die. Their essence returns to the altar of their most devout followers. In this case, their divine faction. Inside this altar, this essence hibernates. After several hundred years, give or take depending on how much prayer they receive, they will come back to life again."

"And this essence is what Master used to construct the G.o.dkiller…"

"I can't think of another scenario. This should be it. It explains everything that had happened."

"Since Hope dies, there will be now another divine heritage that Master can use to create another G.o.dkiller," Jack said. "We have to prevent him!"

"Two. G.o.ddess Joy was also gone from the start. We can't be sure if Master hasn't invaded her divine faction. If he had, then there is a chance he has another G.o.dkiller."

"We have to find out! Give me the locations of Hope and Joy's divine factions. I will go and check," Jack said.

"I can give you the coordinates to Hope's divine faction, but for Joy's, I don't know where is the location of her divine faction," Wilted replied.

"What? How can you not know? For a creator, there is a h.e.l.l of a lot of things that you don't know. Why do you know the location of one but not the others?"

"Because this is now the real world, not something that follows a predesignated program. A lot of things change!" Wilted talked back. She was upset by Jack's words.

"I apologize," Jack realized he had been too blunt. "Give me the coordinates for Hope's divine faction. I will try to find Joy's faction myself."

Wilted sent him the coordinates. She said, "As I said, a lot of things have changed. I can't guarantee Hope's divine faction is still at the coordinates I sent. I know Joy's is no longer at its original place because I tried going there and it was not there. Perhaps they have relocated because their G.o.ddess was gone. As for Hope's, I've never gone there."

Jack understood. It was the same as Greed. After finding out the truth about this world, Greed's reaction was even more extreme. He wiped out his followers, which meant his divine faction was no more.

"That's okay. I'll take it from here," Jack said to Wilted and ended the chat.

"How is it?" Grace asked.

Jack repeated to her what Wilted had said.

"I can help you with the location of Joy's divine faction," They heard a voice from behind. They turned and saw John. This guy had somehow sneaked through the perimeter formed by the other guild members and come close to them.

"You know the coordinates?" Jack asked.

"I have Hope's knowledge, remember?" John replied. "Hope kept tabs on the locations of the other divine factions, so he knew where Joy's one is after they relocated."
