Chapter 321: He Knows About It (2)

|Author's note: Just something I want to be transparent about, when I look at my grand plan for this novel, I realized a huge plot hole concerning Lucifer's soul and why it remained or whatever, not that you will notice any change, but just know that I'm actively exploring other options of how to make it fit into the story.|

Perseus POV

I remember that conversation I had with God, the guy told me that he knew what Cain was planning and he also told me that he is not going to stop it despite having the power to do so.

And now that I know Cain essentially wants to torture him, I gotta put more effort into actively saving his ass despite the guy himself not minding anything.

Damn you, God, why do I gotta do so much work despite you never even attempting to save me even a little?

"So you're saying that you've met God and you didn't talk any crap to his face?" Vince asked

"I did."

"I'm curious, I'm older than I look, so go ahead."

"You don't wanna hear it."

"I've been tortured and have been both physically and verbally abused." he said while rolling his eyes, "Try me."

"Alright, pretend you're God." I told him and took a deep breath, "For an all-powerful being, you're a &*(#&@((#*&$ and you *$&@#*@*(, I wish you #&#(*@), you fucking #(*$)#(-"

"How are you still alive if what you said even a goddess was wincing at your words?" Vince asked, "Heck, you saying that just now makes me want to blast you into oblivion."

"I'm the protagonist, I don't die."

"As your now brother, I believe that it's in my place to tell you this," he replied before taking a deep breath of his own, "You know, even if you are one, just because you're the protagonist doesn't mean you're invincible. It's true that you're the central character, but you can still die as it doesn't guarantee safety."

"Not all protagonists survive? I've faced a lot of challenges, they're my obstacle for character development and to mark my destiny of making it through to the end."

"That's the mindset that's gonna get you killed, there are many stories where the main character dies for the greater good, that other you did say that you may or may not be fated to either save or destroy the world.

"What if you do save the world at the cost of your life? Your lovers will be left alone and to fill in their loneliness, they're gonna find other lovers."

"That won't happen."

"I've hit a sore spot, didn't I?"

"I've reincarnated, I've met God and I've had sex with a goddess while also earning the affection of a few other women, my degenerate self will not allow me to die before I can fully enjoy everything my current life has to offer."

"So you're betting your impure soul against fate?"

"Yes, my desperation will have me live through any disaster, worst-case scenario, I'll open a portal into a third-party world and bring all of my loved ones, you included, there and live in peace."

"Isn't that a bit cowardly?" he asked, "What about the village?"

"Yeah, loved ones, this whole village is included, they've been nothing but nice to me."

"They called the chief your dad, despite the fact that his genes would be too strong for your birth to even work."

*****

I went to Ruka's old cave and I can see that the group has finished drawing the circle and brought over every material we need, Lilith took it upon herself to do the whole thing while Maple and Leilah are in charge of providing the mana necessary to teleport us to the other side.

One thing that we need to note is that we'll be arriving directly in the Urgess territory on the other side, so I'll have to be prepared to kill them all at the moment we arrived as they set it so that any teleportation into that world will be under their control.

"Why are you wearing the ring? I thought that you were trying to broadcast to the world that you were single."

"It's because the ring is beautiful and gets me a lot of compliments." Ruka replied, "Besides, I just told everyone that it's not an engagement ring and it's just a ring my father gifted me, men actually find it wholesome."

"Kinda sad that none of them called you back."

"Don't remind me, besides, are you and your new brother getting along?"

"Yup, even greater than before, we are both reincarnates who remember our memories, so we share a lot of similarities."

"So I'm going to have to be dealing with 2 Perseus Silvers? That's going to be annoying."

"But you find me cute though."

"I do, but that's not the point. Anyway, based on what you've said before, one trip isn't enough to resolve the issue of this Cain fella. How long will our first trip be?"

" Maybe a bit over3 months, we'll have time to have fun and work at the same time, our main objective is to instead slow them down and eliminate a lot of their smaller guys so that they'll lose their labor force. We'll delay them till our second trip."

"I'll look forward to those video games or anime things of yours."

"Yeah, please do, cuz we'll play multiplayer and we can definitely bond over that."

"I'm expecting a lot of great things if it can make me enjoy life and like you more."

I then went to Lilith who's obsessively making sure everything is perfect, she has been actually training the past few days and have her sisters point out the flaws in her techniques.

She was working a bit too hard, but it'll be useful to go against Cain. Maybe I'll kill 2 birds with one stone by summoning the guy again. I'll go to God, borrow the device, make my presence known, and he'll come over.

I will then try to get some help while Lilith can get her dream rematch. I have such a large brain.
