Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 2)

Chapter 244: A Short Break (3)

"A rest phase?"

"Yes. He had entered the rest phase. Perhaps this is a side effect. I don't know in detail either, but I can be sure that he will continue to be in the same state as it is now. If I express that he is sealing himself, it will be easier for you to understand."

"That... is a relief." Park Yeon-joo nodded.

Kim Hyunsung sighed, looking relieved.

All other members of the expedition looked happy. They must have thought that we would have to do something about the Ancient God's Fragment.

Honestly, I didn't want even to imagine the outcome. Everyone knew that it was simply because of luck that we survived. Hearing that he would be inactive made them all smile.

In the first place, classifying it as a 'rest phase' was not entirely a bad thing. Of course, the monster's main body was fighting with the preliminary program, but at least the tentacles had settled in to begin and absorb the museum's system, and with it, the entire continent.

If he wasn't attacking us, then that meant he was resting. Right?

"There is also an arrangement of the Crack Guardians prepared by the museum, so things will soon get... fixed."

"Things... worked really well. Kiyoung's choice would have been right..."

"It was a fluke. It was actually dangerous. I was lucky. It's a little late, but I apologize for causing trouble to the expedition. It was actually gambling. Not only us... Even the people in Lindel could've been in danger."

"Apologize? It was unavoidable that a mythic-grade monster appeared randomly, and since Kiyoung-ssi took care of it well, everyone survived, so it's only right for us to be thankful to you for the moment. It's a little late, but... I want to personally show you my gratitude. If it hadn't been for the base that you showed me, some of us would probably have died."

"I'll be ashamed if you praise me like that. In fact, at the time, survival was the only thing in my mind."

If things were to go wrong, my position would have been quite awkward.

"By the way... What on earth is the Fragment of an Ancient God?"

"That's what Dialugia will explain."

"Ah... Yes. Actually, I don't know anything in detail, because the time I have lived hasn't been that long... I just heard it from both my mother and grandmother. I know nothing else but the fact that it has existed since the beginning and will put the continent at risk."

"So, the manager, Max, was right. That's really absurd. We already knew that this place is not an ordinary place, but an Ancient God's... Fragment... Everything just seems so surreal."

"Yes. I fully understand that. I have lived for more than 4,000 years, but such beings have only come through stories. Of course, I didn't think it would be found in places like this... and even more so, while sealed."

As Dialugia continued to talk, a loud voice cut her off.

"Why didn't they just kill him instead of sealing him? I don't know why this museum did such a nuisance."

"It is impossible to kill the Fragments of an Ancient God. It's because there is no shortage of being called God itself rather than a person who has earned the divine. Those called Crack Guardians would also have been best able to seal the Fragment. Of course, it was a mistake to be too overconfident of them. They probably never imagined that seal would break."

"Well... I see..."

"If he has entered the rest phase, what about the tentacles that are reaching the museum now?"
