It was sudden, but I decided to try and review what I had been doing until now and reorganise my goal from now on.
I believed it was important to conduct a review like this once in a while.
If I did not do so, what we were doing might not correspond to our aim. It was also very possible that by the time we noticed things, we were already pletely off-track.
Firstly, my original goal was to look around and explore this world. Nevertheless, with the situation as it was, there was no longer any room for me to say things like that. Furthermore, as I was already on a journey, it could be said that this goal was already being fulfilled.
Next, to retrieve the 12 Heavenly Stars and to meet with the 7 Heroes.
Up to this point, I had retrieved Aries, Libra, Aigokeros, Parthenos… stayed back in the forest and was replaced by Virgo, totalling up to 4 of them.
Dina originally said that she was aware of the locations of six of them, thus using the information that she possessed, it was only possible to find two more of them. Furthermore, she had also stated that "two out of those six are under the Demon King".
There was no doubt, those two was referring to Aigokeros and the [Scorpion]. In other words, information for five out of those six was already ascertained.
Which meant there were only one left that could be found using her information as the basis.
However, due to the information given by Parthenos, we now knew the location of the [Twins], the [Water Bearer] and the [Bull].
Out of what was remaining, I was also informed that [Lion] was stuck in a war with Benetnash.
In summary, four stars were under my hands and the location of the five stars were already determined.
Retrieval pleted: Ram, Scales, Goat, Maiden.
Known locations: Twins, Water Bearer, Bull, Scorpion, Lion.
Unknown locations: Archer, Fish, Crab.
If I were to write it in the way that was easy to understand, it would be something like this.
What was to e was a little concerning.
As for the reunion with the 7 Heroes, I have met with Megrez and Merak. All that was remaining was Benetnash.
Notwithstanding, this Benetnash was pretty troublesome.
Apparently, she still retained her power from her peak, and that she did not participate in the battle against the Demon King.
Furthermore, it seemed that she was pletely hostile to me, thus she was a very dangerous existence.
Having said that, it was not as if I could not predict something like this would happen.
To begin with, the 7 Heroes had the history of defeating me in the past, as such, there was already some form of hostility in our relationship.
If anything, acting friendly with me would be considered strange.
The two I had previously met was acting like rubber duckies that was stuck on the ceiling, whilst swimming in the stars whilst covering a quacky version of Friday.
The two that I had previously met were acting so friendly towards me that I had let my guard down, however, in a way, Benetnash's reaction was what would be considered a normal and correct response.
At the very least, it was far better than seeing regret from the people after they had defeated me.
It was easy to understand… however, it was bad. She was probably the most troublesome and scary opponent to date.
Having retained her power from her prime meant that she was level 1000. Furthermore, the 7 Heroes' level 1000 was not the same as the level 1000 you would see elsewhere.
They were the no-lifers who had perfected themselves to the pinnacle of their specialisation by consuming the meat (doping) of the countless monsters they had slaughtered.[1]
Back in the game, Benetnash had the second highest total stats and sat in the position right behind mine.[2] Additionally, with her latent Vampire race bonus, she was especially a terrifying opponent.
If the time of face-off was during the morning or the afternoon, I was slightly stronger than her, however, if it was during the night, she most likely would win.
Also considering from the fact that she was aiming for my head…. It was unlikely that a player was inside her.
Although this was a provisional assessment, this account established that all of the 7 Heroes were people of this world.
In other words, Dina and I were the only people to e from the "other side".
And then there was [Lion], the strongest of the 12 Heavenly Stars who was currently at war with Benetnash.
The worst thing was that both of them were showing hostility towards me.
Which was to say, if I accidentally or casually got close to them, I would have to face both the Vampire Princess and the Lion at the same time.
Even for me, that was too much. It was not something to joke about.
…. I think… I've decided not to go near Benetnash for a while.
Next was the Hero.
Previous, I determined there was a real and foreseeable possibility that the Hero was going to be killed, thus I returned all the way to Laevateinn.
But in reality, I was in for a surprise as the Demon King's aim was me. Furthermore, the existence of the Hero was not even significant in his eyes.
This meant that even if I left the Hero alone for a while, it was likely that there would be no problem.
There was still a possibility that the 7 Luminaries would aim for him, but… close to the Hero was a tiger over level 100, as well as two other decently strong people.
Furthermore, there were few rangers blending in with the shadows, thus they should somehow manage things unless the 7 Luminaries plotted against them.
Well, perhaps it was not a bad idea for me to make a golem that would protect the Hero for the one-in-a-million situation.
And lastly, the real goal.
To find out the goal and the intention of the original "Ruphas" and to create an issue for the Goddess who had selfishly gotten me involved on her whim with her "scenario".
Whilst I was doing that, I would bring the Goddess out into the open and ask her what her intention was.
I did not know what the Goddess was thinking when she put me inside Ruphas.
It was also unknown what she had wanted me to do.
But… no, that was why I wanted to know. I had to know.
If I did not find out, I would not be able to move forward. I would just be continuing to stomp on my spot.
I had enough with wandering about without being able to have a foothold, without being able to put my feet down, without knowing where the sinkholes or the goal was.
That was why I was going to stop and return to the starting position.
And this was the retaliation against the Goddess.
Right now, I was thankful and appreciative of the progression of my consciousness assimilating into that of Ruphas's.
If I had remained as "myself
