While talking to Da-eun, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.
If I need power, but I don't have enough power on hand, can’t I just draw it from somewhere else?
I’m not suggesting we take it from Sillia.
As far as I know, there isn’t anyone in Sillia who is at a high enough level to endure pressure and transcend to a higher dimension.
If I had to point to someone, it would probably be a sage, but that guy has already passed away by my hands and is living his next life.
So, where would I get power from?
You know. The reserve power Edel had created.
- If we’re not assimilating all the players from Sillia Online but just a few, it wouldn’t take much effort, and we could use them as emergency backup in a pinch. You’ve actually come up with a pretty good idea, huh?
- Yeah, I guess I’ve been a little out of it lately.
- Earthlings aren’t under my jurisdiction, so I never thought of changing the plan.
- That was something we agreed upon with the administrator beforehand, but this is a change in the circumstances.
- I won’t make the decision alone; I need to speak with the administrator… but I think the administrator will agree. Reducing the damage would be something he’d welcome. The problem would be if some of the people who gain the power develop a sense of entitlement.
- I don’t think that would be too much of an issue. After all, humans are always inclined to feel entitled, and it’s only natural that those who’ve worked to protect the world should be rewarded.
- You’ll get it when the job’s done. And haven’t you already been rewarded? Have you forgotten who helped you out of that tough situation?
- This isn’t working. Why has she gotten so smart?
- ...Wasn’t that supposed to be ‘if your head’s not well, your body suffers’? Anyway, forget that. If you want to go with your idea, we’ll need to find brave people who’ll fight to protect their homes, risking their lives.
- Don’t you really think about coming back? If you’re there, the gold medal is practically in the bag…!
- Whatever you know, I won’t bother you again.
- But you told me not to bother you…
- Sorry. I’m hurt. I’m hanging up.
