Chapter 579: Chapter 579 – Amethyst - Part 5.
"....My... Fun?" – said confused Sengen.
"Yes. This is the simplest answer." – replied Thanatos before then backing away.
"...Before I even worked for that bastard Phantasia, I started playing this game for fun."
"Just like anybody else."
"But that fun... Slowly started getting boring."
"I didn’t just wanted to just hunt monsters nonstop... So out of curiosity, I’ve slain few players."
"And it was fun."
"Those who could give me some challenge, those helpless ones."
"I was acting like scumbag and bandit."
"And I’ve liked it."
"Soon, other scums like me gathered up and formed a guild."
"I myself ended up as the guild master."
"It was a PK guild."
"And we even had one time encounter with your guild in the past."
"?"
"We did?" – asked Sengen.
"Yeb. Our guild was once hired to sabotage your guild in somewhat still early times of this game." - said Thanatos.
"Heck. I remember you slaying me personally when I’ve tried taking off your head, thinking that your guard was down... Only for me to get obliviated by you."
"I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t remembered my guild, since back then we were still nothing more than small group of thugs."
"However, after time would go, the size of our guild would keep growing, become proper one of the early criminal guilds."
"...But then, the guild started facing problems after problems."
"And poor decision made by our idiotic guild master were only making things worse."
"So, the only way we could do anything to somewhat restore our guild and build up strength once again was with the labyrinth dungeon, a massive multi-layer dungeon, it was called Labyrinth Of Frenzy."
"!"
"Oh yeah. I remember that place." – said Sengen.
"Yeb. One of the most well known and most popular dungeons in the entire game."
"But that target was beyond stupid as we would find out."
"I had run in with that bastard. Phantasia."
"Back then he was still hiding his identity as a Doctor... But even so."
"Just as ’PHANTASIA’, he wiped out me and my entire team."
"And sometime later? These bastards, not just the guild master, but all of those prideful bastards didn’t wanted to acknowledge the fact that they were failures."
"So instead? They blamed the only member in the whole guild who was doing any real work."
"Me."
"They betrayed me and kicked me out of the guild."
"And for such pathetic reason too."
"All because they couldn’t accept the simple fact that they all became useless and I was the only with real use in the guild."
"...You were... Betrayed?" – said Sengen.
"Yeb... But later on, I would become relived." – said Thanatos.
"That guild of useless fools who couldn’t even do simple PK job resulted in the guild dissolving."
"I would leave that guild before it dissolved anyway... But still."
"I’m pissed that these pussies straight up acted like these kind of brainless retards."
"At first when we were small guild, we were good, like in terms of dangerousness as well as being smart."
"But the moment they got high on their deeds, they fucking did self-destruction."
"Honestly, I’m pissed at myself that I was ever part of that guild, as well as the fact that I even shown a bit of trust towards them."
"..."
"After I was kicked out, I had to earn some money."
"So I got hired by somebody and went into that dungeon again... But then I’ve met him."
"The Doctor."
"Not Phantasia, but the motherfucking Doctor."
"He was truly a monster."
"And all I could do was run."
"However... He caught me."
"But he didn’t killed me outright."
"He gave me communication device, telling me to hold onto it."
"Sometime later, he did... And he ended up giving me a recruitment offer."
"I didn’t trusted that bastard, if anything, I now knew fully how dangerous and mad he was."
"But he offered me one thing."
"Power and riches."
"In exchange, he wanted two things."
"My loyalty."
"And the trust between us."
"The problem? He did trusted me."
"And the promises he made came true."
"I’ve became powerful! I became rich!"
"And most importantly?"
"I WAS HAVING FUN!"
"I may ended up being corrupted somewhat by him, becoming way more ’evil’."
"But I said FUCK IT!"
"I was having fun and I had everything that I wanted!"
"I even obtained power that allowed me to take revenge on those traitors when they came back and tried robbing me!"
"He is a fucking devil, a real one."
"He corrupted me... But I’ve enjoyed it like a SLUT!"
"..."
"So, tell me."
"Do you want to take the hand of that devil?"
"And once again experience the feeling of FUN? Even if may be longer lawful in nature?"
"..."
"You are telling myself to become his slut?" – asked Sengen as she replied with nervous tone.
"No." – replied Thanatos.
"I’m saying that you should be free the way you want to."
"The choice is yours."
"..."
Quit the game?
Or.
Join the devil’s side.
Those were the two choices Sengen had in front of her.
She was truly broken mentality at this point.
Honestly speaking, she didn’t believed that she could force herself to play this game any longer.
Simple put, she was in pain by just being in this world.
...
But there was a problem.
DO YOU WANT TO HAVE FUN AGAIN?
Her shadow which was mocking her asked her that question.
It was all in her head and everything... But the problem is that it... No. She herself asked that question.
(Fun?)
She thought... As she remembered how she had fun in the past.
How she had fun when she started playing the game.
How she build up her guild and had fun while doing it.
Thanatos’s question hit Sengen right in the critical spot.
Why are you still playing this game after you had lost everything?
This question made Sengen remember the simplest reason why she played the game.
FUN
But she knew what she was dealing with.
A devil.
Should she really take that hand?
...
But she had already fallen for Thanatos’s trap.
The exact moment she made Sengen remember the past, about "FUN", she was already ensnared in Thanatos’s trap.
She was somewhat repaired by Thanatos by making her remember about the past... But she was still broken even now, and this was what Thanatos aimed at from the very start.
And in the exact moment Sengen smiled, the fate was sealed.
(If I cannot have fun anymore like a good guy... Then why the hell I should stick to it?!) – thought Sengen as she extended her hand towards Thanatos.
"Fine!" – said Sengen.
"I will for your devil!"
"Heh... I knew you would say that." – said Thanatos as she grabbed Sengen’s hand and shook it.
"Pleasure to be working with you."
"Now. I’m sorry if I’m asking too much of it from you, but there is no time."
"It is time to fatten you up."
"?"
"Excuse me?" – said confused Sengen.
Few moments later, Thanatos led Sengen right to her hidden aircraft, before then taking right into the skies.
Sengen was obviously caught off guard by this... But the next thing came as a shock was that Thanatos told her about the current situation.
She explained the situation regarding the divinities and how they could shape the entire game.
"And right now, we need to obtain them." – said Thanatos.
"Me, Maparapara and Phantasia already obtained our own divinities."
"However, we don’t know how many elder gods’ divinities are out there."
"We have some records about past gods, but there is no telling who died and what not before they gave their away their divinities."
"So yeah... With how situation is, we need to increase our team size from 3 to 5 and make sure that everybody have divinity."
"Do you fallow?"
"...."
"Okay...?" – replied Sengen who was obviously shocked after receiving so much information at once.
"So you are saying, that you want me to obtain me, to obtain the power which could shake this entire world, which could result in not only me becoming somebody important, but also possible gaining legendary rarity class in the process, or maybe class of unknown rarity called Mythical, which could be way higher than legendary...?"
"That is pretty much the gist of it." – replied Thanatos.
"The elder god divinity classes are broken like hell, even those who are not combat oriented."
"And we cannot let anybody have them."
"That is why we are planning on destroying them... However, there are definitely good number of divinity users out there."
"Some are hiding, while some are already making their moves behind the scenes."
"That is why, the only way to counter them, is to have our own divinity users."
"But we have problem."
"Trust."
"...Yeah... I can see why." – replied Sengen as she understood the situation perfectly.
(If everything she said is true, then this world will really be hit with tide of chaos... And they want to own it?!) – thought Sengen.
(Fuck me... Who the hell I ended up involving myself with?!)
"..."
(Then again... This is my chance... Isn’t it?)
(To enjoy "fun" once again!?)
"..."
"So... You are telling me that you want me to take on the divinity trial and what not, so I can obtain it!?" – said nervous yet exited Sengen.
"No. Not yet at least." – said Thanatos.
"You, and that other girl we had recruited recently, Orion, both of you are still not ready yet."
"These tests can be truly hellish, and if you encounter a test that can counter you, then you could end up truly screwed."
"Not only that, we don’t know what divinities even do, nor we have really option of holding several temples at the same and then having you pick anything you want."
"You will get the first temple we find, this isn’t something none of us wanted, even that bastard Phantasia."
"So it is no matter of choice."
"Not only that, don’t forget what I’ve said just now."
"Destroying."
"We cannot just hold on the temples and look for the new divinities now."
"These two are already aiming to destroy the temples."
"They don’t have ability to wait for you."
"So if you and Orion don’t hurry up and get ready, you may miss your chance at getting divinity."
"W-what?! You telling me that I may not get it?!" – said shocked Sengen.
"Yes. But that is something we don’t want. We need 5 divinity users." – said Thanatos.
"And that is why I will be helping you and Orion in leveling up."
"So get fucking ready."
"Since I will spartan your asses to oblivion if you want to obtain the divinities."
