At Kashaar’s words, Du Nuar smiled silently.
“Do you know that? The Shaina goddess isn’t just a deity in charge of light and healing.”
The achievements of the Shaina goddess known to the public were two.
But there was an undisclosed, fundamental power that remained.
“She manipulates the laws of this world. Simply put… In this world, a deity is like a kind of programming.”
The greatest law of this world was the regression after the ending.
Du Nuar, who did not adhere to the laws forming himself in the eyes of the goddess, was treated as a bug.
“As the magic I can handle in this world increased, the goddess’s intervention became stronger. The reason she confined me here is probably related to that.”
It could be seen as an update to counter the increasingly powerful bugs.
“…I sort of understand. But how do you know words like programming and updates?”
“With your knowledge. The knowledge of all regressors is transmitted to me. By the way, I created this hole shop using the knowledge of your previous possessor.”
Was Du Nuar looking proud, or was it my misconception?
The dragon, who claimed to be a knowledge report, seemed a bit perverted.
“Then… what about Elsias?”
The Elsias I met was undoubtedly a clear possessor.
If so, the one who called her was also…
“The one who called a new possessor to this world is the Shaina goddess.”
Just as I moved at Du Nuar’s request, the goddess also needed a long-term chess piece to form the law.
In that case, there were two ways:
Maintain the changed original work until two years from now when the ending arrives, or
Before that, fulfill Du Nuar’s three requests, allowing him to destroy the goddess’s reset button.
“If you endure until then, the goddess won’t perceive the change in the original work as a bug. She’ll accept it as a new update.”
“If it progresses as the original work…?”
“It’ll regress again. Leaving nothing behind.”
With Du Nuar’s explanation coming to an end, we returned to the bedroom.
‘It’s more of a mess than I thought.’
I thought it was a happy fairy-tale land, but it was a death match to avoid regression.
While I was bewildered, Hayang, who returned as a teddy bear, desperately clung to my leg.
“Back off a bit.”
[She’s going to kill me!]I shook my leg back and forth, but there was no sign of her letting go.
“She won’t kill you. Earlier… maybe because you thought I made you disappear?”
[Unfair, Hayang!]Hayang protested with a squeak.
Watching this, Kashaar laughed slowly.
“That too, but having a being with a personality sticking to you was annoying.”
Thud. The teddy bear dropped from my leg as if it had lost its sense of self.
‘Really creepy.’
Well, considering it almost fell off the mountain earlier.
It was when I sat the pitiful teddy bear on the table.
“…Strange.”
“What? What’s wrong?”
I thought everything was completely resolved.
But Kashaar’s expression was still dark.
“If that’s the case, what was it when your fingertips disappeared earlier?”
I hesitated at his words and looked at my hand.
The teddy bear was rolling on the floor.
The star annex where the saint stays.
From the entrance to every intricate decoration, this place was so splendid that it wouldn’t be strange to hold a banquet right away.
“Why does that kind of woman exist?!!”
Crash!
The flower vase Elsias threw collided with the glass window.
Pottery fragments and shattered glass shards scattered in all directions, but she paid no attention.
“Sainthood, calm down!”
A young priest who took charge of Elsias urgently pulled her into an embrace.
Just in case the saint stepped on even a glass shard, the responsibility would fall entirely on the priest.
That had been a well-experienced fact.
“Where did you touch?!”
Whack! With the sound of skin rubbing, the thin body rolled on the floor.
No matter how hard the blow was, her white cheek had swollen to the point where the red handprint would rise.
But no one came to help her.
‘I made a mistake, so it’s only fair to get a beating.’
‘I touched the saint’s feelings, so I should discipline her with a rod.’
‘Merciful saint.’
Those were the only thoughts in the minds of the priests.
“Hey, you. Pig, bring me something to drink. Cold.”
“… Yes, yes!”
The woman who received a slap on the cheek was named Daisy, but it had been a long time since she was called a pig.
Daisy abruptly stood up from her seat, disappeared, and soon returned with a cold drink with ice.
“H-here it is.”
Elsias gulped down the drink, then threw a glass toward Daisy as if irritated.
The glass narrowly missed her, but the shards brushed against Daisy’s cheek, leaving a trail of fresh blood.
“Don’t stutter when you talk. It’s annoying just to hear you.”
“N… Yes.”
Daisy managed to suppress her stuttering.
Elsias, as if irritated by that, raised her hand to her forehead.
After closing her eyes for a while, she rose again.
In the direction Elsias’s gaze turned, there stood Vice Priest Ferberov instead of Perveleov.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
