REINCARNATION SIM GAME - Chapter 189 189 – Invitations

My servants fell when they reached the realm of God, and I approached them. Levi walked beside me.

“Are you all okay?” I crouched in front of them.

“I feel like my powers are gone, sir,” Yua answered while looking at her palms. “I became like an ordinary human.”

“I feel that way too,” Kimi added while getting up. “But, I’m not someone resurrected here. I’m from the mortal world. My power shouldn’t be divine, even though I was close to godhood back then.”

Levi folded his arms across his chest. “Any power that reaches this realm will be divine, whatever it is. Even the forces of darkness.”

“What should we do now, sir?” Elise asked while looking at me. “Scarlet will use our power as a catalyst to achieve her goals. We can’t just let it go.”

I choked and looked at the others, who were also looking at me. A god like me should have a solution to a big problem like this.

Closing my eyes in frustration, I clenched my fists tightly, opening my mouth to speak, but Levi interrupted me.

“I have an idea.” The supreme God’s tone was cold. “We can make some of the mortals below become servants. We will give some divine power to increase their power. They won’t be comparable to servants from the realm of God, but it’s better than us having nothing.”

“But, my lord…” Anja approached Levi with a worried face. “Wouldn’t that break the balance in the mortal world?”

I stood up, frowning. “What do you mean, Anja?”

Instead of answering, Anja looked down. Looks like it’s a secret and shouldn’t be discussed by servants like her.

“The bottom line is that divine power is not something natural in the mortal world. It will trigger unwanted things, such as creating natural disasters, extreme weather changes, monsters changing their behavior, and so on.” Levi massaged his forehead and sighed. “And I plan on gathering them with portals. It will also have the same effect.”

I gulped. “If it’s so dangerous, isn’t it better to use servants of other gods who can fight?”

“That just makes things worse.” Levi smiled bitterly. “Only your servants have souls specially tuned. It was done automatically so as not to damage the mortal world. This prevents other gods from sending their servants to the world below at will.”

“So, you’re going to take this big risk?”

The supreme God shrugged. “If you have other, safer suggestions for reclaiming your servants’ Divinity, I’ll listen.”

Looks like I have no other choice.

“I could just call the people I gave the communication tools to. However, it would be better to ask for help by coming to them.” I spoke to my servants. “I think that will convince them more to join this very dangerous mission. So, I will ask you to visit each one of them.”

“Ah, but we can’t use them too much,” Levi replied. “Five people max, or the chaos that ensues will be even greater.”

Elise came down in normal clothes in a messy warehouse. Gina was standing in front of a group of people tied up, accompanied by several of her comrades.

“Oh, hey, Elise.” A man with tanned skin greeted the female warrior with a big smile. “Long time no see. How are you?”

“Ah…. I’m fine, Checo.” As the man’s hair grew longer and his body more muscular, it took Elise a moment to recognize him again.

Gina turned around and immediately hugged the female warrior’s body. “Well, I can’t lie. I feel like you’re bringing some bad news. Your face looks so tense.”

As soon as Gina let go of her embrace, Elise gulped.

Kilometers from where Elise was, Yua landed in a room that was also messy and made a woman flinch violently.

“Don’t be surprised, Yamaya.” Yua waved her hand with a smile, then looked around. Many pieces of armor, gear, and other items were scattered on the ground floor. The place reminded her of a workshop.

“D-do you mean my twin sisters?” The woman with long black hair was hiding behind a black armor. The armor was similar to samurai’s but more compact, with a distinct feature: a helmet with an eagle motif. “I am Yamaya Tamayo, the younger sister of Yamaya Hitomi.”

“What are you doing here, Nakagami-dono?” Finally, Hitomi entered the room in her priestess outfit.

“Did you know about the demons who control a village and the shogun’s castle?” The kunoichi asked.

Hitomi sighed, looking at the armor that looked like it was being repaired. “Of course, I know, and we had a hard time getting through it, even though many people were being held there. I’m afraid they’ll be turned into demons too.”

“So, my master would like to give a little divinity to one of your people. This is for the sake of saving the village along with a few other people.” Yua started to explain. “I and my friends’ powers have been usurped by the demons, and we’re basically useless. So, I ask you to lend me one of your best people.”

“Aah…” Hitomi looked at the armor her sister was repairing. “I really appreciate your help, and I welcome it. We will also send troops to accompany the attack on the village. And for the best people…. You can bring this friend of yours.”

“Friend?” Yua frowned, looking at the exposed part of the armor. She could see some kind of mechanism with gears on the exposed body. “No way….”

“This friend of yours has no hope of staying alive, but he has a strong desire to pay for his sins for disrupting the demon-containment village. If he died, it would be a pity. His fighting ability is extraordinary.” Hitomi spoke with trembling lips. “So, we transferred his soul to this thing with his consent. He just defeated many demons and got damaged like this.”

“So, basically, he becomes an ancient cyborg,” Raymund commented. He actually knew about this thing because he had contacted the priestess several times. However, the God of hope didn’t want to shock Yua too much.

The kunoichi walked over to the armor, then knelt down with tears in her eyes. She then stroked the man’s cheek. “Oh, Taka…”

“Unfortunately, he has completely changed, and many of his memories have been lost over time.”

The armor remained still, not moving at all.

Lucy was standing in front of a building, looking at the ‘Hugo’s’ sign written on it. Raymund had deliberately not asked the woman to appear inside the restaurant because it would make the people he would invite startled.

The blonde woman pushed open the restaurant door. She didn’t know who she would invite and only knew they were the closest people in her previous life. “Excuse me.”

Alain, sitting in the corner of the restaurant with Lauren, answered. “Sorry, but this restaurant is closed, Miss….”

Lauren widened her eyes and stood up, at a loss for words.

“Err…. My name is Lucy. I have orders from lord Raymund to….” Lucy didn’t continue her words because Lauren came to her and hugged her tightly.

“I guess you made her your servant, Sir Raymund?” Alain got up from the chair while holding the box containing the communication device.

“That’s how it is, but sadly she lost all her memories,” Raymund explained.n0𝗏𝓔𝓁𝑢𝔰𝒃.𝒸0𝐦

Lauren let go of her arms and looked at Lucy’s face. “Aah, maybe this is for the best. You don’t have to carry the heavy weight of your name on your shoulders, Renee.”

“My name is Lucy…” The blonde woman choked as Lauren started to cry. Various questions appeared in her head. One of them is: were they really close to her in the past?

“Well, we don’t have much time.” Raymund joined in again. “There is a very precarious situation.”

After the hug with Alain and Hugo, Lucy sat down at one of the tables with those people, explaining everything. Alain and Lauren listened intently while Hugo chose to return to the kitchen.

“It really needs to be resolved immediately.” Alain leaned back against the chair while rubbing his chin. “Or things will get worse. We can’t let Scarlet do whatever she wants.”

“Hey….” Lucy gulped. “Do you know this scarlet wizard? The moment I met her, I felt something strange. I feel that I have known her…. But at the same time not…. Ah, it’s hard for me to explain.”

Raymund replied. “Why are you only talking about this now, Lucy?”

“Because I’m at a loss to explain, sir,” Lucy answered while scratching her hair.

The God of hope remembers that Lucy or Renee wanted to become a mage because she saw the greatness of the scarlet wizard in the past.

“That doesn’t matter now,” Lauren responded. “We have to decide, who will….”

“That’s obvious, right?” Alain interrupted with a chuckle, then touched Lauren’s stomach. “You won’t be able to leave with this little baby in your tummy.”

The female sorcerer took a deep breath.

“Well, congratulations.” Raymund could only speak like that in shock at the news.

Lucy was also confused and just kept silent. She felt that she had no ties to these two, after all.

“I only have one request, Alain.” Lauren rubbed her lover’s face. “Don’t die.”

Alain laughed. “We’ve done a lot of dangerous quests. I won’t lose my life that easily.”
