Chapter 71 The lonely god

After breathing the suffocating air caused by corpses being grilled by the goblins and felt that I remained here enough to absorb 'energy' I returned to the ninetieth floor of the dungeon.

The citizens of this world have finally seen and felt after so many years what was "Evil", maybe for now they will see the form of evil through these goblins and I do not deny that fact, they are creatures purely born to commit evil in humans eyes.

But soon.

They will see themselves that evil has been always inside them together with good, they've been only burying the evils inside their hearts and minds.

Woah, recently I'm having negative and pessimistic thoughts, the girls most likely are feeling the same right now.

I never knew that I would become so reliant to their presence as they feel the same to me.

I better reach the last floor.

What will I find there? A god as a boss?Or maybe be tested by a god. Well let's find that out.

As Deva resumed what she was doing before, and that is climbing the dungeon. Thirteen figures who were on the eighty-fifth floor could be seen struggling against a great number of monsters, the same number that Deva killed with her aura that however respawned after some time.

None of the apostles know about the turmoil and mayhem that is happening outside, they chased the woman thinking that she will stop on one of the mid-late floors and then capture her as she is struggling in those floors but never thought that she would reach and even continue to climb on the last floors, this fact made them even feel more caution about this woman. The apostles were able to reach so far because of Hunter if she wasn't with them then they would be stuck on the lower floors.

The thirteen didn't even thought that she could go out of the dungeon without using the gate she entered from, for them the only way to leave this dungeon was either using the entrace or conquering this dungeon in fact if Deva wanted to leave this world she would have done that to find her beloved ones, but there was something on the end of this dungeon that picked her curiosity and obviously some hope that she could find something to speed up her search.

Nonetheless in order do so she had to firstly beat the boss or trial at the end of the dungeon.

Standing in front of the door that led to the room of the boss of this dungeon, I opened the door with hands made from my aura and prepared myself, strangely enough the moment I entered the hundredth floor I didn't hear a song being sung like in the case of Core and Tania.

Despite years passed from when I conquered the tower of trials I can still remember the song being sung by Core, you could say that that is the thing I remember the most about that event.

However the sight before me surprised me, what I found was a mirror so big that occupied all space of the wall in front of me, since it is in front of me I could see my own reflection.

My crimson eyes were not shining like before I started the fifth scenario, I still act calm with a smile plastered on my face but somewhat my smile in the reflection was not that cheerful as before it was more like an empty one. A smile for the sake to smile not because of happiness, joy or anyother emotion but to only show a smile.

Then my messy long hair ,which for some reason I refuse to cut and just want it to grow and grow, I usually do not take care of my hair in fact my girls usually do that and in return I do that to them, was reflected as well.

I often think that the for an individual, who watched and felt a hundred lives ,even if the body or soul do not age its mind will eventually change.

At first nothing changed, at least that is what I thought, but some months later I noticed that something changed however it was so small that all the people close to me didn't even notice, despite I noticed that something changed I did not know what changed.

I do not know how many minutes I remained standing there, gazing at my own reflection.

But my thoughts were interrupted when the mouth of my own reflection opened.

[You are tired,right?]

[You've beed trying so hard to find a way to fasten your search.]

[Either spend thousands and thousands of years to even find your wives or hope to find something useful here.]

[But you know that is a vain hope.]

[There are countless artifacts and unique items with different effects that the one you seek of is one amongs thousands.]

[You'll be forever cursed to wander around this universe to find them.]

[The more time passes the more your memories about them will vanish.]

[Even if you do find them, you will be bound to seperate again and again as you explore more universes and worlds.]

I stood there in daze as my own reflection continued to talk.I could feel something entering my mind.

Each time she talked I could feel myself getting weaker and weaker, I could feel someone besides me calling me or tugging at me but I could only hear the words of my reflection.

My body wasn't the one getting weaker but my mind and my will were the one getting weaker and weaker.I have to do something but my body isn't even listening to me anymore. I couldn't even activate any of my skills or powers.

Then at a certain point I started to walk towards the mirror, the more I got closer the more her words coated with sweet honey made my senses dull to the point that I could only hear her and see only her.

My hands touched the surface of the mirror and so my reflection. From another perspective you could only see a reflection mirroring the movements of a woman.

But.Slowly, the hands of Deva could be seen starting to sink in the mirror as if the mirror was made of water.

[But with me you won't have to think about those things.]

[I am here, here I am the god of this dungeon, forever bound to be here.Forever bound to remain in this room unless someone conquers me.]

[You won't have to worry about useless stuff, you don't even need to think at all.]

My forearms, my head, my shoulders then my upper body, they were all already inside the mirror together with my reflection.

Something was preventing my lower body to also sink but it was useless, in the end my entire body sunk and entered inside the mirror.

My reflection whose words affected my body and weakened my mind to a certain extent was right in front of me, before her voice was a bit far so I could retain a bit of my own thoughts but now...with my own reflection whispering to my ear I think that I might succumb to her words.

[You are thinking useless things, dear.]

I mustered all my strenght to open my mouth and say with confusion,"...De..ar..?"

[I watched you the moment you entered this world, so lost and so confused yet you put a tough front and acted so calm and carefree that I thought you were the cutest of this world.]

Somehow I feel that this already happened in the past.

[The more I watched you the more you made me want you.]

Her eyes despite were the same as mine, they were similar to the girls usually make when they were a rather crazy phase.

[When you were inside my dungeon I could hear your thoughts. I was so jealous that you were thinking other women.]

Why...I always encounter this kind of people...

[Don't worry, soon you'll think nothing but me.]

I do understand my girls being a bit possessive and obsessive, we have known for a bit and opened to each other, we know the other's likes and dislikes by passing time with each other, we developed over time our love to the other, what was a crush became love, what was infatuation became love, what was a toxic love became a bit less toxic.

I do know love can make people crazy in fact my girls are crazy to me as I am to them, peolpe call these type of people as yanderes.

I might not know you but by how you behave I understand that you are a lonely person, a lonely god in a world that will only praise you and see you as the absolute being of this world, an entity that became crazy by being so alone that they will lock in this room the first person to arrive here so that they will never leave.

She might have heard what Hunter said to me about what the man I captured could do, maybe that is why instead of allowing me conquer this dungeon and be together like with Core and Tania she choose to just lock me up here to be together.

I also do not know why she doesn't also drag here Beatrice, maybe she doesn't see her as a living being?

Somehow you became infatuated with me adding the fact that you are extremely lonely you only want my attention to you and your attention to me.

Ah...she is kissing me. I can't...
