Chapter 2564: Samples

I didn’t say anything as I glared at the gods that were in front of me.

When I charged into the divine realm like this, there really wasn’t anything that they could do about this. But as for getting the answer that I wanted from them, it really wasn’t that simple.

They all looked away from me as if they were afraid of something, but at the very least they didn’t run away.

In that case...

Since they weren’t saying anything, I had no choice but to say, "Someone say something already."

Of course, none of them would speak just because I was pressing them like this.

So in the end, the only thing that I could do is take out the one unique stone shard that I possessed. Once that was out, it really would be hard for them to keep denying knowing anything about this.

It was just that the reaction that came from the gods wasn’t something that I expected.

The moment that this stone shard with the traces of creation divine energy came out, all of the gods suddenly surrounded me. They looked at the stone shard in my hand before looking up at me.

With how they looked at me, it was almost as if they were wondering if I had been the one that had created this.

But in the end, it wasn’t as if they couldn’t see that this thing wasn’t related to me.

"They’re samples."

I had no idea what Solista meant by this, but she didn’t give an explanation in the end as she continued looking at the creation divine energy stone shard.

All of the gods were looking at if, as if they were trying to figure something out while looking at this thing. But in the end, it didn’t seem like they were able to figure anything out.

Instead, they looked at each other as if they were trying to figure something out.

They also looked like they were trying to map out something with how they moved their hands from time to time. Though I couldn’t actually see what they were trying to map out even standing in front of them like this.

In the end, there were still things in the divine realm that I wasn’t able to figure out.

When they were finally done, that was when Solista said, "These are things that are used to give them resistance against certain forms of divine energy."

Even this explanation didn’t actually explain anything.

"Take a look at this map. This is something that we’ll need your help to check."

I was caught off guard by the map that suddenly appeared in front of me, but it wasn’t as if I didn’t recognize this map. After all, this map was one that was depicting the layout of the continent.

However, there were marks that had been placed on the map.

From what I could remember, these spots weren’t special at all.

These were random spots on the map that represented normal places on the continent.

So I had no idea what they were trying to mark off on this map.

But they even created a copy of this map for me to take back with me which did show just how serious this was to them.

However, it wasn’t as if I knew why this was important to them.

As long as they didn’t explain this, it wasn’t as I would know what they were even looking for.

Seeing the way that I was looking at them, it wasn’t as if Solista couldn’t figure out what I was thinking.

So in the end Solista suddenly said, "As I’ve explained, these are samples that are used to teach them about the gods that they should be targeting. That’s why it gives them a certain amount of resistance against divine energy."

"Was this something that was done in the past?"

There was no response that came from Solista, but that in itself was considered an answer. After all, this was considered a form of silent agreement.

In that case, I couldn’t help feeling that the gods really were quite irresponsible.

There were many things that they could have told us since they had happened in the past, but they chose not to tell us anything about what the forces of Destruction had done previously.

It wasn’t just because they wanted to keep us safe by not telling us this.

It was because there seemed to be things that were preventing them from saying it until the time was right.

But if they really wanted, there was no doubt that they would have their ways of saying it.

It was just that they didn’t want to say it.

However, there was still something that I was worried about.

"Then the creation divine energy..." I didn’t finish what I said, but just this was already enough to convey the meaning that I wanted to convey.

Only this time, it didn’t seem like there was any hesitation from Solista as she said, "You don’t need to worry about this. The creation divine energy is something that the God of Destruction will never be able to collect. This is something that they must have gotten by luck during the last war, so there’s nothing that they can do to obtain it again."

Unlike before, she didn’t stop with her explanation.

The way that she was explaining this, it was almost as if she was doing all that she could to convince me of this. It was almost as if she was trying too hard to convince me of this.

In the end, it seemed like Solista realized her own mistake and came to a stop before she could keep rambling on like this.

It really was out of character for Soliusta, but it seemed like this was something that was quite important or else she wouldn’t have said all of this.

"So what am I looking for?"

"There are minor gods out there that are in danger, so we need your help looking for them."

"Minor gods?" I repeated in a confused voice.
