"…"
All gods, other than Casita, had one purpose. They helped Casita with his illumination and retrieve faith in return. In that sense, it was probably 'surprising' to know that Dohyuk killed Casita, but that was it.
"…It doesn't change what they need to do."
"Right. It's actually better for them as they can gather faith from talented individuals. It's not like they will think otherwise or make different plans because of it."
In fact, the return of Dohyuk and his world was actually a proof of Casita's almighty-ness. It was evidence that Casita was powerful enough to turn back time to 'unkill' himself even.
"The illumination is in full force… just a bit different than before. That's all."
She stopped and put her lips on her water pipe again.
"But there are two big differences that we need to focus on from our previous lives relative to our current one."
She spoke as she raised a finger and pointed at Dohyuk.
"First."
"Me?"
"Yeah. You already f*cked the gods and sold their symbols to us to f*ck them up even more. I don't know how you did it, but you probably won't tell me even if I did ask. Nonetheless, you definitely have something 'special' that the others don't."
"…"
"And you probably couldn't even guess the second… wait just a minute."
She stopped and puffed on her pipe. As she slowly took a drag from her pipe, Dohyuk spoke.
"You're talking about the objects that Casita does not control. The relics of those who resisted the illumination like you."
"POOF!!"
She paid her price as she coughed up steam from her nose and mouth. "H-how did you-"
"I have something like that already."
"How many?!"
Dohyuk hesitated and answered, "You probably can't guess how many."
"…Hah, you might have a good poker face, but you aren't good at bluffing."
Emmanoel still seemed surprised. "You sure you don't have any memories?"
"I wish that wasn't true every single day." Dohyuk lamented the fact. "Anyway, you have something similar too then?"
"…I did. The ones I studied, and the ones that I 'collected'."
"Did? You don't have them anymore?"
"He took everything from me when I lost. They probably have 'S' rank written all over them and are floating around somewhere."
"…"
"Don't be disappointed." Emmanoel smiled, "Even if I had… you are in a position to collect much more."
Dohyuk understood what she was getting at now.
"I think a few of those relics are probably hidden within one world."
Many worlds would not have those relics. It was rare for any world to have people like Emmanoel, Blass, or Dohyuk resisting against Casita in the first place.
"But your world right now…"
"There's a whole bunch of worlds that exist right now at the same moment."
"Exactly."
There was a good chance that Earth was within the larger world that Casita had invaded.
"Do you realize it now? Isn't it exciting? Your world is like one giant armory."
"…"
Dohyuk was excited, but he wasn't a type to have his excitement cloud his judgment. First, he wasn't sure if he could trust the person in front of him and…
"…Even if they exist, how can I find them?"
It was a logical question. But-
"Like this?"
The response arrived in less than a few seconds.
