295. Justitia (7)
[You were never supposed to come here from the beginning. Have you ever thought carefully about why there is a limit to the number of people entering the theme dungeon and why the number of guest ID users has never exceeded three?]
Seongjin looked at the woman in front of him who was complaining as if she was reprimanding him.
Elegant clothing, like a character from ancient mythology, and long, golden, wavy hair. Except for the creepy eye patch soaked with bloody tears, it was clearly the image of ‘Justitia’ on the main screen of Pangea Chronicle.
A noble hero who is said to have plucked out his own eyes to protect the laws of the world.
A goddess at the center of the Pangea Chronicle worldview who eventually became a divine being and managed the world.
‘but… … .’
This strange woman who is now attached to Seongjin’s back like a leech is also called ‘Justitia’.
Black hair tangled like seaweed in the deep sea, skin with an unpleasant feel like wax.
This is not a goddess, but rather like a drowned body that has been left in a low temperature state for a long time.
‘Which one is the real Justitia?’
Maybe both.
For some reason, I had that feeling.
[So, why did you suddenly appear in front of me like this?]
Seongjin asked, tearing off the clammy hand that was hanging on with the intention of pulling out his eye at any moment.
Does it matter which one is real? First of all, it seems like I can’t communicate with one side at all, so I have no choice but to try communicating with the side that seems more normal.
[Didn’t you just say that? Please do not provoke Justitia by causing any more chaos.]
[Do not call someone else’s name. You must be Justitia too, right? It seems like both of them have no eyeballs.]
[…] … .]
The goddess kept her mouth shut at Seongjin’s sharp response. But Seongjin, who had already become sarcastic, thought she was a goddess and a leech, and there was nothing more harsh about her.
[If the settings on the site are correct, you are the one who manages this world, right? But why mess things up and now blame others?]
[I am holding you responsible for the chaos you brought about.]
[Don’t make me repeat the same thing. If you really wanted to prevent guest ID users from entering the theme dungeon, shouldn’t you have specified the conditions properly from the beginning? Rather than lax measures such as limiting the number of people.]
[Since the upper-level conditions have already been restricted, it is meaningless to define the lower-level conditions again. All of this is chaos caused purely by your presence, so you have no choice but to put it to rest.]
[Then why not ask politely? Besides, if you wanted to persuade people of anything, couldn’t you have created a more appropriate atmosphere for conversation?]
At least it’s not a place with blood-sucking leeches.
As Seongjin nervously ripped off a handful of the seaweed-like hair, the sound of someone biting something again was heard in his ear.
Crackling.
Oh, don’t bite anything without permission, you!
[I am deeply sorry about this situation. However, originally, you and I, as guest ID users, would never have met unless a few restrictive conditions were met. Even I, the administrator of the world, cannot avoid the conditions that have already been established.]
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
The goddess said, taking a few steps forward.
[So the moment the illusion was put on and peeled off, I had no choice but to take advantage of that momentary twist. I had to avoid the rules imposed on me through the chaos you fostered. Of course, the price is not that small.]
At the same time, the blood flowing from the goddess’s eyes spreads across her white dress, creating an eerie pattern.
this. There’s a bloody show going on in front, and there’s a drowned leech hanging in the back!
‘This is the worst!’
Seongjin, who usually disliked horror movies, was disgusted.
Still, since these things can at least be touched with hands, it must have been some consolation that punches work.
[If you really don’t like this situation, there is only one way left. All you have to do is leave this world right now.]
At that time, the goddess responded coldly and pushed her face right in front of Seongjin.
Then, a soft, seductive whisper follows from her red lips.
[Or are you still going to use your unique ID? □□□ □□. Just like before, I’m getting rid of everything that bothers me.]
[…] … !]
This time it was Seongjin’s turn to keep quiet. The moment she heard the goddess’ words, she felt a prickling sensation in her heart, and immediately something stirred inside her.
Exciting
This was definitely a commotion that Seongjin had experienced at some point.
but.
‘… No, it’s not time yet.’
A strong premonition that is difficult to explain comes flooding back to me at the same time. Seongjin took a deep breath and tried to calm down the waves of unknown emotions.
[Don’t make nonsense. Anyway, this was your best bet for the conversation, right?]
Then, as if she had lost some steam, the goddess slowly leaned back and answered.
[I won’t deny that. So what are you going to do? Would you leave here now? This world is too imperfect and unstable to support your existence.]
Are you unstable? Pangyea Chronicle is a typical normal world, right?
Perhaps realizing Seongjin’s doubts, the goddess added a blunt explanation.
[This world was forced to wake up from its egg before it was ready. So, to make up for the ridiculously weak tone, numerous rules were added in a disorderly manner. In such great chaos, the distortion of the world eventually arose.]
Tap, tap.
Even as she leaned back and spoke, bloody tears continued to flow from the goddess’s eyes. If things continued like this, it seemed like her handmade dress would be completely stained with blood.
[And □□□ □□, you will accelerate this flood of chaos and eventually cause the collapse of the world.]
[…] … .]
[So, please, for the sake of this world, get out of here right now.]
okay. I don’t know, but you’re saying it’s a matter of the existence of the game, right?
‘Leaving this annoying world is something I’ve always wanted!’
But before that, there was something that needed to be resolved first. Seongjin said, pushing back the leech that was grinding its teeth on his neck as chewing gum.
[There is a condition. First, promise me that you will meet a guest ID user, Justitia.]
[Guest ID user?]
[okay. And obediently hand over whatever item he wants. If you do that, there’s no reason why you can’t leave here right now.]
If he had to get out, shouldn’t he at least get Owen out with him?
-The reason I keep logging in here is probably to meet Goddess Justitia and get the things I need.

Of course, there is no guarantee that meeting Justitia will completely complete Owen’s quest. But at least, wouldn’t he be able to avoid getting into trouble just because he met the goddess?
However, the goddess’s reaction after hearing Seongjin’s words was cynical.
[That is impossible. Didn’t I say this before? Even I cannot avoid the conditions that have already been established. Guest ID users cannot enter the temple, and in order to meet me, they must meet several strict conditions.]
No, then what?
Now Seongjin was beyond annoyed, and his head was slowly starting to heat up with discomfort. If Seongjin wasn’t willing to listen to this side’s conditions, there was no reason for him to listen to that side’s one-sided nonsense anymore.
[Then stop talking nonsense! I won’t leave here until I achieve my goal!]
[This world will collapse because of you!]
The goddess screamed as if she were screaming, but Seongjin didn’t even blink.
[What do I know? This is a world where strange things like this are obsessed. If we leave it like this, it might lead to bigger problems, right?]
[Such self-centeredness… … !]
[The accusation of being egocentric should rather come from this side. If you want to at least have a proper conversation, you should do something right now, whether it’s my life or my strength!]
Stop making people tired! I will never miss tomorrow morning’s training!
Hwaak-
At that moment, as if reacting to Seongjin’s mood, a strong spiritual pressure rose from him and swept in all directions.
[…] … !]
Cheesy!
It was so powerful that in an instant, noise erupted from all directions simultaneously.
Goddess Justitia staggered and looked at Seongjin with an expression of surprise.
‘… ‘What did I just do?’
Seongjin, who first found out that he could do this, was also momentarily taken aback.
But what was even more absurd was that even in this situation, the leech was stuck behind him and did not move!
Crack, cluck.
‘What a disgusting bastard!’
The goddess, who noticed Seongjin’s disgusted gaze, spoke as if resigned.
[Didn’t you say from the beginning that you wouldn’t be able to shake it off? There is nothing I can do. It is another Justitia born in great chaos. He has become the law of this world in itself.]
Chaos or law, whatever, get away from me!
When Seongjin waved his arm towards the back again-
Woe! Woe!
The spirit force, which became sharper than before, struck the leech several times.
Kyakyakya!
Then, the leech narrowed its gaping eye sockets and laughed at Seongjin. As if she was making a futile attempt.
[Didn’t you hear? I have already become the law of this world!]
Blood-soaked lips clenched, and an unpleasant voice was heard, as if rusty iron was being ground.
[Everyone can’t avoid me! You are already seeing, hearing, and breathing through me! I am another foundation that supports this world, I am like the atmosphere of the world!]
‘… atmosphere?’
It was right then.
There was one strong memory that came to Seongjin’s mind.
-Mores, what would you have done if you were that bird?
A bird that fell into the sea.
A familiar voice quietly explained about it.
-Birds also had the ability to adapt other organs as they wanted. It’s just that for him, the water in the sea was still an external force that had to be overcome, and it was not recognized as something to breathe naturally.
My father said back then that I was like a bird in the water.
But did the atmosphere of another dimension mean only Delcross?
-It’s not that moving, Mores.
Another memory comes to mind.
A vibration like a small laugh that resonated softly with the sound of music.
-It is simply a matter of generating a strong thought based on memory and creating a complete mental image. So that the aura contained there can flow naturally along the flame.
I know.
I have already learned how to create thoughts by creating thoughts.
Grumble!
And before Seongjin was even aware of it, a small flame bloomed in front of his eyes along with the memory that naturally came to mind.
He was very familiar with Gehenna’s burning of everything.
‘… ‘Demon King No. 2!’
At first glance, it was an insignificant flame, as if it were the devil’s true form. However, its power was exactly the same as what was seen from the gap.
It’s a shame.
Like dust falling, when Demon King No. 2 fell from the sky onto the leech’s hand –
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The flame that caught the target grew bigger in an instant and quickly spread behind Seongjin.
[What is this! □□□ □□! What are you doing now!]
With the cries of the embarrassed goddess Justitia –
Wow!
Suddenly, the tearing sound of a leech rang out. A completely different reaction from his previous relaxed attitude.
But before Seongjin could check the results, his vision suddenly blurred and the darkness swept away.
“… rain!”
… huh?
“It’s a newbie!”
And then he felt someone grabbing his shoulders and shaking him violently. Seongjin slowly blinked her eyes as if she was waking up from her sleep.
“what’s the matter? Why are you suddenly standing blankly?”
My blurry vision becomes brighter, and I see copper-colored hair shimmering before my eyes.
“… “Owen?”
“For a moment, I thought I passed out while standing up. Are you okay?”
“Is it Owen?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? “Are you really in pain?”
Seongjin looked blankly at the person standing in front of him with a bewildered expression on his face.
That’s because the guy who was supposed to be a red fox has now completely changed into something I’ve never seen before.
‘what? The voice is definitely Owen’s?’
The person in front of Seongjin now was a sturdy young man with an expression as cheerful as his voice.
The long, copper-colored hair looked like a rich fox tail, and the outfit was a bit unfamiliar, with brown feathers decorated here and there.
Seongjin slowly raised his hand and rubbed his eyes with his small hoof.
what? My avatar is still fine?
“Owen, you… … .”
“huh? what’s the matter?”
The young man asked back as if he was worried.
Ah, when I heard the voice, I was sure it was that stupid fox bastard.
But why did his skin suddenly disappear and the graphics become normal?
fantasy,
