[VRMMO] Chaos Doctor

Chapter 539: Chapter 539 – Search for divinity continues.

[Side: Phantasia]

"Wait, wait, wait." – said Phantasia.

"You are telling me, that you freaking found the divinity, on the first freaking try?"

["Well.... Yeah?"] – replied Thanatos via {Chat – Video Call}.

"And you also found out about some hidden lore, info about demi-gods and even possible hint where other divinities are being hidden?"

["Yeb."]

"ALL on your very first try?"

["Yeb."]

"..."

"..."

"Huh..."

"What in the actual fuck?"

["I KNOW RIGHT?!"]

"...Okay... I didn’t... Wow...."

"I thought it may had taken months, but you really... Huh..."

"..."

"Okay. Seriously. Did you really gotten that lucky?"

["Yes... Honestly I wasn’t expecting that myself."]

["I mean... We can somewhat proceed with our plan now, right?"]

"I mean, we do needed only one of us at least get the divinity... But from what I’m getting here at, we may have higher chance at getting more than one on our hands... Huh...."

"You know, we may need to change few things in our plan and what not."

["Agree."] – said Thanatos.

["By the way, did Maparapara finally spoke up or something?"]

"Well... She did... And it isn’t really nice." – said Phantasia.

"She... Well? She found the location where the divinity once was."

["WAIT! ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT SHE ALSO HIT THE FREAKING JACKPOT ON THE FIRST GO!?"]

["AND YOU ALSO SAID THAT YOU MAY HAD FOUND THE DIVINITY WHERE YOU ARE! TRIPLE!? TRIPLE FUCKING JACKPOT ON OUR VERY FIRST THREE TRIES?!"]

"Yeah... About that..."

"...The divinity where Maparapara was searching, it was already taken."

"And more specific, the Slime City, the city for the slimes and where Maparapara took her race change quest... It was completely destroyed."

["!"]

["What happened?"]

"Well... That is actually what we don’t know..."

"Maparapara encountered some survivors... And they said that the large number of players suddenly appeared out of nowhere and destroyed the whole place."

"It was long time ago... Before even we had destroyed the empire."

"Most of the citizens of that city were killed, including the slime empress Mi."

"Maparapara managed to find the abandoned temple... And found out something."

"Chains."

"The theme of that temple."

["Wait! Are you telling me, that random ass guy Apple, the one who we suspected of having the divinity related to the chains, had obtained his from that place?!"]

"By the looks of things, yes."

"Apple found out about the divinity before we did and began his search way earlier."

"The only people that could at least give us some answers are dead, killed by Apple and the people he was with."

["Damn.... But wait, didn’t Maparapara said that you cannot enter that city without having a special connection?"]

"You either need extremely high affinity with some people or the entire city as whole, or be the member of the slime race."

"That is what Maparapara said."

"Somebody must had lend a hand to Apple, allowing him and his men to enter the city illegally."

"It maybe a player from a slime race."

["Damn..."]

["...So... Is Maparapara even okay? I mean, she told us that she-"]

"She is helping them out."

"The survivors I mean."

"She also talked with me about possible supporting them or helping them relocate somewhere."

"I’m still considering it, but maybe it will be good idea to make some new alliances, be it small ones."

"...And one more thing."

"Please be wary while talking to her."

"She is pissed."

"And I mean it."

"That guy Apple has really pissed a living hell out of her."

(Still, when did that bastard discovered the existence of the Elder Gods’ divinities?) – thought Phantasia.

(That is the worrying part.)

(Not only that, but Maparapara told me that the slime empress, even though she was a pacifist, she was by no means weak, she could be categorized as a raid boss.)

(And that village wasn’t filled with random ass slimes. It was filled with humanoid slimes, an extremely powerful race of slimes that Maparapara herself is a part of.)

(And yet, for that entire city to fall... That means not just Apple is a threat....)

"... Honestly, this is worrying." – said Phantasia.

"There maybe a chance that Apple may have already obtained more than one divinity, if he had began his search way earlier."

"God fucking dammit."

"He maybe leader of some shady shadowy organization that was active for long time and were just hiding all the time."

"I mean, no matter how we look at this, that will be the probably some kind of ending to this."

["..."]

["So, about Maparapara... Is she saying that she will stop the hunt for a bit and help out her slime friends?"]

"Yeb. Well, until those guys are somewhat safe."

"I may consider giving them temporarily asylum in my city."

"But from what Maparapara saw me with screen shots, they really and I mean REALLY destroyed the whole city to ruble."

"With the city in that state, nobody will be able to conduct the race change quest to become a slime."

"I don’t know why Apple did it. Maybe he just want stronger players from appearing... But either way, the whole city would need to be recreated from the ground up."

"It would take time and resources."

"So I think it would be just better if I just move those slimes to my city and then think afterwords what to do with survivors."

["Huh. You are not abandoning them? I mean, I get the whole ally talk... But knowing you, it would make more sense to abandon them."]

"Well, as I’ve said before, I need my OWN allies."

"There are actually more reasons, but it is better if I don’t talk about."

"But, there is one thing I’ve said."

"Maparapara shown her loyalty and what not, so I should reward her, shouldn’t I?"

"..."

"Anyway, if you feel like it, you can either return back home, go wild or help our Maparapara."

"We have what we want and based on what you said, players can only have 1 divinity of the Elder God."

"Searching for more than 3, where we are only a team of 3 people would just put us in somewhat annoying spot."

"Then again... Ah, just do what you want now."

["What about you? How are the things on your end?"]

"...Well? Bad."

"I found more evidence that is hinting at the existence of the Elder God’s presence here, but I still couldn’t pin point the exact location."

"I know it is here, I’m 100% sure about this."

"But I don’t have fucking clue WHERE exactly."

"So, I have no fucking choice but to start turning this place upside down."

"And this kind of gave me few problems."

"Specifically, the freaking fact that this area is a great leveling up spot."

"Meaning that there is a lot of fucking players here often."

"And I kind of needed to genocide them all."

["So, people now know about you being here, searching for something?"]

"Unfortunately, yes."

"I really had no choice, since without doubt, the divinity of the Elder God is here."

["....Okay."]

["Well, I will go to Maparapara and see if I can somewhat help her out."]

"Thanks. And if you like, you can request some support from the base."

"Good luck." – said Phantasia as he then ended the call.

"..."

<<Welp, things gotten way more complicated.>>

<<Apple.>>

<<The mysterious player who suddenly appeared and had a strength of the master ranker, while also possessing unknown divinity related to the chains.>>

<<We just confirmed that the power he had was truly a divinity and those chains are in fact a product of it.>>

<<However, the problem is the "time".>>

<<He learned the existence of the Elder God’s divinity way earlier than any of us... But when exactly did he started his hunt?>>

<<And who is working with him?>>

<<We just got shit ton of new freaking questions all at once.>>

<<And also, we maybe somewhat fucked.>>

<<...And there is also THAT fucking thing.>>

<<Apple making public appearance.>>

<<I’ve looked it up and he is still not doing anything religious yet... In public sense, yet.>>

<<Maybe he already formed his own religion in secret?>>

<<And there is also the fact that we don’t know how many fucking divinities he had obtained.... Fuck me.>>

<<...>>

<<Yeb.>>

<<We need to exterminate the fucker.>>

<<I thought Arthur would be a "rising start" a "protagonist".>>

<<But Apple played his card way too well.>>

<<And if he start speeding up NOW of all the times, it could result in disaster.>>

<<By the looks of things I will have to crush him first before I crush Arthur.>>

<<Still, first thing first.>>

<<Divinity.>>

<<I need to obtain that thing no matter what.>>

<<But because what sort of methods I used... Pretty much there is already talk of me searching here for something.>>

<<Obviously that meant I had some annoyance to dealt with.>>

<<Like big time.>>

<<If somebody just slip past me and get the divinity before me, it is straight up over.>>

<<So yeah... I just went no mercy and slaughtered everybody who got near me.>>

<<Still... Where the hell was that divinity?!>>

<<I’ve searched this entire desert.>>

<<I’ve found more and more clues about the existence of that "goodness".>>

<<And the lack of connection between all sorts of known gods.>>

<<I know it is here!>>

<<BUT WHERE?!>>

<<I had my monsters straight up dig up everywhere, destroy everything and hunt anything!>>

<<But for days there was nothing.>>

<<Was I wrong?>>

<<Maybe this place was once the place of worship, but isn’t necessary a place where the divinity was stored?>>

<<...No.>>

<<It is here.>>

<<There is too much evidence regarding the existence of the forgotten goodness here.>>

<<There should be least possible a clue that would maybe guide me to the real location of the divinity.>>

<<...So I continued searching for more days.... And then finally I freaking found something.>>

<<My monster dug out something in ruins of one of the buildings.>>

<<They found an entrance.>>
