Chapter 137: A God Candidate
'Is soone talking shit about -_-? Why is my ear tickling now?" Viktor drilled his ear with his pinky finger and said, "Oi Adonis, is my ear red?"
Adonis looked at his ear after taking off his golden-frad glasses and said, "No? They are fine. Moreover, your blood cells are slowly turning golden. So you won't blush red after a few months or so."
"Yes. I'm shiny!!"
"Master-_-. Please don't stand on the table when it's pilled with papers."
Viktor took his phone out of his phone and looked at the screen. There were countless text ssages from Ijin but he was too busy to reply to any of them. Even Baek called him but his phone was on silent mode.
"Hu? He called ? By the way, it's almost 6 pm. Adonis, did you eat your lunch?"
"None of us did. We were busy with office work."
Adonis and Viktor were in QH headquarter, discussing the recent change of orders. The Arican association allied with the European association so the stock market went crazy. Moreover, the international business also faced lots of losses and for that reason, they all asked help from QH, a multinational enterprise.
Since the company handled so many businesses, it was facing a great tragedy since the international alliance was suddenly cut off.
"Adonis, it's almost ti for your next schedule."
A man ca inside his office and saw Viktor standing on the table with his phone. "What is this ss?"
It was the president of the company.
"Oh… We et again."
"Sir North, what are you doing in his office?"
"Helping out."
"It doesn't look like you're helping. Please get down from the table and leave the office. Sir Adonis has to attain a eting now."
Adonis closed a file and said, "Don't mind him. He actually helped a lot. The southern association directors are coming to Seoul tomorrow to discuss more about the new alliance. Please don't make him go away. He's the next chairman after all."
Viktor then said, "Now I don't feel like helping at all-_-." He opened the window to the office and jumped on it.
"Sir North!! Please co down from there! You will fall!!"
Adonis took his papers from the table and walked near the door to leave with the president. "But!! Sir!!"
"Don't worry. It's not like he'll actually fall. My brother can even withstand a nuclear bomb from very close. This much height is so ters for him."
"Adonis, see you at night."
"Yes. Co ho soon." Adonis left the room with his worried president and Viktor flew out of Seoul to walk around for a bit. He went out to clear his mind.
'Now let's sum up things now.
First of all, I shouldn't get involved with humans. I prioritize my holiday over absolute power to control humans. They aren't immortal so does their business. If I picke up a business on earth, I'll have to maintain so many things in exchange for cash that barely has any values to now.
That would be such a waste of ti.
But the situation isn't as simple as it seems to be. My greatest fear is the hidden brother of mine who's preparing himself for over a million years by now. Since he's a part of , I can understand why he's taking so long.
He's waiting to make his food fully grilled. He's maintaining his patience and I am also sure he's looking at right now. He's been monitoring since I gained my fragnts back. But I am sure that he's surprised at how powerful I've beco.'
"But, there goes a saying, 'No matter how clever you are, there always will be one who can outrun you."
He looked at the setting Sun and sat down on an edge of a building to clear his mind. He wasn't worried but he had that uncomfortable feeling in his chest.
He knew everything was in his control. But since he wasn't a fully GOD yet, every living being's record wasn't in his knowledge.
The only god he had access to was the one who created him and the existence of others was unknown.
He sighed and took out his record to see the near future. It was divided into 4 pathways and it was almost ti for him to decide which one to take.
'If I choose one of them, there's no going back. One of them leads to my death but it also has a possibility to defeat my other half with so many achievents. The others are green but they have a 50/50 chance of win/loss.'
'Tsk!! I need to go and study inside my library again. I need to find out more to increase my safety.'
"I will definitely win this battle."
He vanished because of the teleportation magic he used and went inside his room. Adonis wasn't at ho yet.
…
Deep inside Viktor's record library.
He threw a heavy book on a table and took a seat after stretching his arms. Even though it was inside his mind, he wanted to make things feel real.
He opened the book and read the introduction out loud.
"The goddess of light!!!
Birth: 120th Astral year!!!"
'Why am I acting like a kid-_-.'
He shook his head and started to read her life from the very beginning.
The goddess of light was the 5th daughter of the god of the sun and the goddess of holiness. At first, she was a cheerful god candidate and worked very hard to achieve the god position. Her days as a goddess were peaceful until she broke the heavenly law.
She created elental guardians with a part of her soul in a hidden realm called the realm of guardians. At that ti, she didn't know what were the consequences of creating a being without any spouse. Moreover, the being she created was neither male nor female.
The rumour spread quickly and it reached the ears of the kings of gods.
She was imdiately kicked out of the king's realm and she blad the elental guardians for her downfall. She listed the powerful guardians as criminals and ordered her guards to kill them without showing any rcy.
Little did she know that the kings had already fixed their eyes on the kids who had the potential of becoming gods. But when they saw the god candidates were killed, she was again stripped from her noble title.
After that, she beca evil and started to plot against the god kings by becoming the mistress of the water god. She was again looking above to climb up to her position and declare war against the kings of gods.
'What a ssed up situation. So the goddess is technically every guardian's mother. We are created from her fragnts so it's natural that so of us are God's candidates. But what is she trying to achieve by fighting with the gods? She's already a goddess. Isn't she?'
A few years passed inside his library and yet, the book seems to be an infinite length. Her record was so big because her age was more than a quadrillion and reading that huge amount and summing it up wasn't sothing a god candidate could do.
Besides, there wasn't even a living being who would go through such burdens to collect so information.
After his fragnt beca full, his brain activity beca faster so his reading speed also increased.
But the book was so long that it took him 10 years just to reach 300 billion years of record. And in the span of that long year, she did nothing but play around catching butterflies in heaven.
He threw the book at the bookshelf and scread, "F*** it!!!! What a waste!!!!"
He imdiately went out of his library and saw Adonis looking straight at his face. It looked the sa as he did 10 years ago because in reality, an hour passed.
"Master, it's 8 pm already. Dinner is served."
'I can't believe I'm getting used to this. I can't believe I am almost 90 years old. And yet, I don't feel like I missed him.'
"Oh, Adonis. When did you co back?"
"A few minutes ago. Master, did you enjoy your napti?"
"Yes." He stood up from his chair and said, "Let's go have dinner. I feel like I'm starving."
"Yes, master."
'I don't feel like it's been 10 years, but it actually passed in my library realm. It feels like it's been a day. Is this why the goddess played around for 300 billion years? The understanding of ti is different based on the amount of ti a living being has. If he has 100 years of life expectancy, he'd do everything in 60 years.
But there is a catch.
If soone has a 1000-year of life expectancy, he'd do the sa as any normal human would do. He'd get a job at the age between 200 to 300. Make babies before 400 and retire at 600.
Since they are used to the ti and longevity, 100 years isn't sothing big of a deal.
But what if a being with a short life expectancy gets an infinite life? Would he do the sa as those who live 1000 years of life with a slow mind? Or live as a normal human with 100 years of life expectancy?
The answer is quite simple.
The beings who have an enormous amount of ti, their mindset is slower than any humans who live for only 60-70 years. The reason why my brother hasn't attacked is because he's not used to fast life. He's an immortal being that has never experienced aging quickly like a human and it's been only a million years since I died. Not even 50 years has passed since I was born as human in mortal realm.
I believe he will take more years just to even think about planning to attack . But little did he know that I'm already 3 steps further in the race of ti.
Since I have the mind of a human, it will work as an advantage against him. Because I can be patient as the God of patients and inpatient as a starving devil at the sa ti.'
Viktor finished his dinner quietly and then said, "Adonis, I will be teaching you the fundantal equations of casting heavenly magic spells."
Adonis was a little shocked to hear that so asked, "That higher degree magic?"
"Since you successfully made an infinite mana heart, I think it's the best ti to teach you interdiate-level magic. Your class starts at 8 pm tomorrow."
"As you wish, master. I will be there at the right ti."
'You should, because you're a God candidate as well.'
