*impossible, how could the messenger of Queen Hera communicates with a mere human?* the knight raised its head and yelled at supreme.
*TELL ME THE TRUTH YOU LOWLIFE HUMAN! HOW DID YOU GET THE STARLIGHT SWORD?!!!*
The roar was so loud that all the other knights stopped chasing the clone and turned to their chief.
"What is that knight saying?"
"Who is it calling Queen Hera?"
"Am I the only one lost?"
"According to Greek mythology; Queen Hera is the queen of all gods, the goddess of air, marriage, women, kings, childbirth, and even empires. And so on. These are as we know it, myths, then why is this knight overreacting?" Schoolgirl said in mild confusion.
The players blinked thrice, staring at her.
"Did she just said, goddess of what?!"
"How can a single goddess have controls over such things?"
"Are you deaf, she said Queen Hera is the goddess of all gods. And it looked like Supreme came in contact with her messenger, that is how he got his legendary class sword."
"I wish I was that lucky."
"What are you all thinking, this is just a game, let's forget it."
"Yeah, you are right."
"Ok."
All the players nodded, throwing the topic over the roof. An issue everyone was worried about suddenly disappeared from their minds. Which was quite surprising.
Supreme was a little confused, he told the knight who gave him the sword, and this fool said he is lying, he really doesn't have time for all this.
"Your words are confusing, but I won't fall in your trap." He said.
*fall in my trap? Then I will just have to kill you, and see why the Queen goddess gave you such a powerful weapon, I might not know how you humans always appeared here, but I will make sure it's your last, just like the ones before you!*
'The ones before me? Is this thing saying all the players that played Escape Room never survive the second stage? This game is really a dead trap.' He fixed his gaze at the enraged knight and pointed his sword at it. "What are you waiting for then? come and kill me!"
*Fool, I don't know why Hera gave you the weapon, but you will die he....*
Its word were cut short, as the hall trembled, a violent wave of energy flood inside the hall, and an unholy pressure descended on the chief knight, causing it to fell on its knees.
Then a beautiful and enchanting female's voice sounded in its head, this voice was beautiful, but now filled with rage and anger.
'How dare you address me by my name?! You have already revealed a lot of information to him, I would have love to destroy your soul piece by piece, but if you suddenly go down. The human will suspect something. We both don't want to anger the king!'
The knight's red eyes widened in terror, as the pressure increased causing the ground beneath it to crack.
'I will take away the trace of divinity you have in you, and watch the human destroy you...! If he can'
The knight said with difficulty: 'My Queen, you save my soul from that monster, so why will you let this weak human destroy me? And yes... He also has the demon Lord's legacy in him, wouldn't it be wise to kill him?'
'You imbecile! The king is the one who let him have that legacy! He has a use for the human! For revealing thing about the gods, you have signed your fate. You are lucky the king is out, but you will still face your punishment, which is; your divinity will be taken.'
The knight was wrench with regret, after hearing her words, but still asked. 'Why did you give him the starlight sword? My queen.'
'The sword is only to help him on that planet, not to be bonded with him, the king and I were a little surprise when we lose the control of the sword, that's why the king is interested with this mortal.'
'Why would the king be interested with a mortal?'
'You aren't in any position to know, now... Face your punishment.'
The next moment, countless golden light flew out of the chief knight's body, floating towards a particular direction. All these happening in front of Supreme.
Supreme was moving his eyes around, totally perplexed, when he heard the system's notification he was a little dumbfounded, but after that, he discovered the time itself has frozen. Everyone stopped moving, even his clone was frozen in place. But not him.
He noticed when the knight fell on its knees, like something was pressing it down. No matter how he look, he couldn't see or hear anything. He then looked at the system's notification which was still showing him red warning light.
{WARNING....}
{WARNING....}
{WARNING....}
{GODDESS'S MANIFESTATION DETECTED...}
{PROTECTING HOST.}
{HOST SUCCESSFULLY PROTECTED.}
{NOTE: HOST SHOULD REMAIN IN THE SAME POSTURE AND POSITION, FAILURE TO DO SO WILL REVEAL YOU TO THE GODDESS.}
'This only means a goddess is in our midst, oh goodness, am I still in the game? Or I'd traveled to a parallel universe?!' Supreme yelled inwardly, not moving an inch. No one know what will happen if the goddess discovered he can move.
The next moment he saw golden light, flowing out of the knight's two red eyes. 'What is that?' Before he could think of anything that can cause the golden light, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
{Does Host want to store the divinity of life?}
'What, Divinity of life? Won't that reveal us?'
{As I said, I am more than a system, she won't detect host.}
'If you say so, do it.'
{Absorbing.....40%}
{Absorbing....80%}
{Successfully Absorbed divinity, it has been stored in the system.}
The invisible manifestation of Hera was stunned, her eyes widened. 'What in the life just happened? Who dare absorb my divinity in front of me?!!'
The hall trembled with her roar. 'Calm down Hera.' The manifestation which was hovering in the hall moved her gaze around everyone present. The next moment her eyes widened in horror. 'Could it be that the primordial God... NO! What am I saying, but to be safe.
I need to tell my husband, a primordial god might have infiltrated this hall.' She thought and vanished from the hall instantly.
Supreme sighed in relief, seeing the new notification from the system.
{Goddess's manifestation had retreated.}
The next moment, everything returned to normal, the knight statue who was kneeling just a while ago, was now standing straight like nothing had happened. Time started moving again.
'Now I know why the reward is a mystical class cheat. You didn't give me because you like me, you fucking gave me this quest because one of these knights have a goddess's divinity!!! I won't be able to kill it even if I am LV 50! That's why no one have ever won this game.' Supreme yelled at the system.
{System Want HOST to me the strongest.}
'Can't I be the strongest without risking my life?'
{Not happening, to be the strongest you need to defeat the strongest.}
"....."
'The knight had lost his divinity, so I would be able to kill it.' Supreme nodded and yelled at the knight. "I am waiting!!!"
The knight backed away, and the remaining 13 knights statues stood in Front of it, leaving Supreme's clone.
*I won't fight you human, my friends will take care of you.*
'Running after losing your divinity, that's understandable, but... You made a mistake sending these fools my way. System... put five points each in speed and strength. Time to end this battle, because our timer has only 30 minutes left.'
{Successfully added.}
"Come on!!"
He yelled and lunged forward with his clone.
