"Don't go. That's her decision."

"Decision? What are you…"

And then her voice came.

[Jaehwan, I know you can't understand my decision. But you know what? I don't understand you either.]

It was Andersen, with her same usual voice.

[We will never understand each other. That's what you first learn when you become a G.o.d. Isn't it ironic? You are an all-knowing G.o.d who understands and acquires all kinds of knowledge, but you can't even understand just one spirit…]

G.o.d? Spirit? Understanding? He wasn't sure what she was trying to say.

[But even if we can't understand each other, we can still feel something from each other. Even if it's just one-sided or not. I mean what I'm saying from that.]

Jaehwan then felt his heart sink. Why? He couldn't understand, but he too had felt. All of his questions in his mind were losing power at Andersen's voice. It was because there was a 'real' one there.

[I know you hate me. You will never accept me as I was once a Cultivator. And you might think my feelings toward Runald is hypocrisy because I was a Cultivator.]

Andersen continued,

[But can you still do me one last favor?]

Jaehwan thought he needed to answer, but his voice couldn't come out. His body was now slowly being paralyzed, and his senses dying. Jaehwan barely was able to nod.

[Go to the Great Forest. And find the 'G.o.d of Madness' there.]

His sight grew dark, and he couldn't see Andersen's face anymore. Even if it wasn't her face, he had to see. He had to see what face she was making, but he couldn't. And the faint voice that came after was swept away by explosions. It was probably, 'Take care of Runald.' In his blurry sight, he saw Andersen turning her back.

[Alright then. Let's go, all you Rupture trash.]

Karavan, who had Jaehwan in one arm and Runald in another, began to run. With his sight being quickly becoming dark, Jaehwan felt his consciousness slipping away.

"HAHA! This is most entertaining! A [Naked] G.o.d in a Gigantes? I can't even…"

In the next moment, Andersen unleashed her world power and made Myad take her seriously. It wasn't huge, but it was a fierce attack made by a certain G.o.d with all of her power. It was an attack that couldn't be considered lightly.

Loud explosions broke out, with huge shockwaves cras.h.i.+ng through. Jaehwan saw the last sight as he closed his eyes. He knew that it was a sight that he would never see again in his entire life. The sight he saw was the last memory of one who had lived an age, who was once a being. Another explosion broke out and hot air gushed from it.

As Jaehwan felt the hot air against his cheek, he felt the days Andersen had lived.

A G.o.d who had lived over tens of thousands of years. What did 'death' mean to that G.o.d? How valuable a relations.h.i.+p that was formed in just a few days?

Jaehwan couldn't understand anything, and couldn't say anything. But when he understood that fact, he felt he came to know what Andersen's last words were. The hot air, the naked world, was telling him this.

[You will become a good 'G.o.d'.]

Yes.

Jaehwan closed his eyes quietly.
