Versatile: Alternate World Chapter 202
Advertisement
"A long time ago, during the time where the gods dwell together with man, a conflict occurred with the two primordial gods, the goddess of life and the goddess of death. It was an unknown conflict that no one knows who started the conflict. However, the followers of the Goddess of Life are all blaming the Goddess of Death though there are no shreds of evidence that she was the one who did it. Even the followers of the Goddess of Life had no idea what the conflict was and were just blindly siding to the goddess they believe in the most.
The Goddess of Death decided to silently take the matter so that there will be no more conflict. However, the followers of the Goddess of Life oppressing the Goddess of Death's followers and accusing them of colluding with the power of darkness to bring forth evil in this world, which finally triggered the irk of the Goddess who governs the realm of the dead.
Using her abilities as one of the primordial gods, she helped her followers to defend themselves and to fight back against the followers of the Goddess of Life. As much as she hates conflict, the conflict itself visited and messed up everything. She has no choice but to help her disciples at least fight back. However, it seems that the Goddess of Life saw this as something of a rebellion from her sister.
Since the Goddess of Death is not someone who does the initiative and is usually just a passive one. She didn't expect that the usual silent and passive sister of hers would take the initiative to help her followers. The Goddess of Life always views herself as the superior sister of the two which is why she is angered by the stance and action of her sister. Instead of talking to her passive sister who didn't take the initiative to fight but goes on the defensive, she didn't hesitate to wage war with her sister.
Thus, the beginning of the war of the two Primordial Gods also causes the beginning of the division of the races."
...
After the long explanation, Lucia asked for water since she was talking nonstop for a while. Atlas automatically give her a bottle of water that came from my bag of supplies. I was eating some food to replenish my hunger and thirst after the battles and to alleviate my fatigue for a bit while we are going back to the elf camp.

"Do you mean this war was so huge that it should have been recorded in history? How come there are no such records existing today? I only know a handful of history about it and most of it is from the Goddess of Life's story and her deeds she has done since the very beginning."
"Indeed that was the strange thing! If a war occurred, no matter how big or small it was, it will and will always be recorded by the people, either humans, demons, or even the other races like elves, dwarves, and even the angels! There is no way it was just forgotten and buried of depths of time!"
"I apologize if you find this offensive princess, but even you were not in the records. Many of the demons were not aware of you or any of your ancestors that you also talked about earlier. I highly doubt the integrity of your stories. Also, the thing that you keep insisting that the demon race was a good race, I don't think I can believe that easily. Even before I met Master from our battles, the demons has already been this dangerous and monstrous already. They are not some peaceful beings that would easily join humans and other races as their allies," Atlas said, doubting the story of Lucia.
"Then, can you explain how come you are already an ally of him if demons do not usually treat the other races as allies?"
"That..." Atlas suddenly went speechless. I think he remembered the time when I defeated him repeatedly in different difficulties. It might have made a big trauma to him.
"Ah, forget it. I am going to prove that I am not lying. Since Master is someone who is traveling around the world, there must be a sign that the war happened and there was also the time where the demons were all friendly and ally to every race at one point!"
I look down and saw the camp is near already. It was a bit of a long flight from the ruins but it didn't take too long for me. There is no time limit to the quest anyway and I can turn in the quest anytime I like. But I don't want to delay things any further. Besides, I have to also contact the others. They are doing their own basic thing right now so I am not going to just ditch them.

"Princess, I know you just awaken but I want you to go into my summons' area with Atlas. As you may know, most races hate the demon race. So if you show yourself right now, it wouldn't be a good idea and might cause you trouble."
"The summons' area?"
"It is a place where all the summons, pets, and other entities that I have a connection with stay. There are some exceptions but most of the time, everyone goes there. Don't worry about it princess, you still can see everything that is happening while we are in the summons area. It is also a good thing to be inside since you can treat it as watching a scene unfold in your eyes without doing anything."
"That's cool and all but are you sure it is safe? I won't die if I enter the place?" Lucia was reluctant.
"No worries, Princess. No one dies entering that place. It might be a pocket dimension for Master but we can consider it as our own home since we can get anything we wanted there. We can build our own place and create our own paradise if Master does not need our help. It was a good place for relaxation." Atlas said, describing what the summon's area was. I didn't know that is a thing in the summon's area. Damn, I wanted to also experience something similar but I know that is just close to impossible.
Lucia stops for thought before she reluctantly agreed. "Alright, you convinced me. Then bring me inside this area. If the other races saw me, they might also get angry at you," Lucia said while blushing a bit. It seems she wanted to try the things that Atlas said which made her embarrassed to say that she was excited to experience it.
"Alright."
I recalled the two of them and I pat Leona to land nearby. After all, I don't casually show Leona to other races unless necessary. After that, I started walking towards the camp.
When I arrived, it seems that the people there are currently discussing things with the other elves who I rescued in the basement. I also spotted my party on the side and was just observing the situation.
The very first to notice me as I pass through his illusion easily. It wasn't a problem with the treasure that he gave to me. It was all possible.
"You are back!" the elves that I rescued all went to me.
"How is everyone? Did you guys recuperate and reunited with your families?" I asked.
"Thanks to you, we managed to safely escape from hellish things the demons did to us. If not for your help, we would have already died from the trouble," one of the elves said.
My party also rushed towards my side and happily welcomed me.
"Damn, you came back and alive! I thought you wouldn't last against the enemies that these guys told that you were facing there!" Hagane said tapping my back.
"I also wanted to do a slaughter with some enemies but I guess I can't do that. Such a pity," Dolly said.
"It might not be as troublesome as the quest he did but our alternate quest is also troublesome with only you as the highest leveled player! We struggled to fight and if Goro didn't help, we would all be dead before you managed to kill the boss!" Chase said.
Goro only smiled while keeping a distance from the noisy crowd. It seems like he was letting the priestess sleep.
"Don't bother Goro for now, Bladeheart. The baby is having trouble right now and Goro is keeping his best to keep the baby stable," Dolly said.
"What is going on? Did something happen?" I asked.
"You should ask the elder what happened. He will fill you out on what occurred. Besides, you will also be reporting the result of your quest so I suggest you do so," Dolly added.
The elder approached me and bowed down to me.
"Since you have returned, I assumed you have already defeated the demon that occupied the village?"
"Yes. Here is the proof," then I throw out the drops that came from the elder who assumed the role of the previous elder forcefully.
The elder took the proof and examined it carefully.
"This is indeed his. In behalf of everyone you saved, I thank you for liberating our village from the presence of the demons."
