READ WEBNOVEL Chapter 139 – Butterflies.
I didn't know who this woman was, but she didn't seem friendly. Although beautiful, the aura she emitted was unpleasant; she didn't seem to be here to talk.
However, the armours were all motionless, as if the "life" in them had disappeared after the woman appeared. Probably she was the one who "killed" the armours. And if she did that, isn't she here to help me?
"Are you here to help me, or are you here to kill me just like these rusty armours?" I pointed to the armours around the woman. The armours were all on the ground.
"What do you think?" The woman shrugged and walked toward me. Her shoes had wooden soles, making a loud noise whenever she stepped on the ground. I started to take steps backwards on instinct.
"Stand still, you idiot; I'm going to get you out of here." The woman said in a firm tone. Realizing that I couldn't go against her, I stood still. She approached me and then took my hand.
I felt my heart flutter as soon as I looked deep into her eyes.
"What? Don't fall in love with me. You already have plenty of women to satisfy yourself." Her tone was one of pure contempt.
"Hmmm... You're God?"
"What?
"You suddenly appeared, you are here to help me, and you seem to know a lot about me. Aren't you the God who sent me to this world?"
"Do I happen to have the appearance of an old pervert?"
"..."
"All right, I'll get you out of here. Try not to get involved after that."
"Since you're here, I'll take the opportunity to ask you about the system."
"Yes, I'm here because of that. God doesn't know what's going on either, but it probably has something to do with this place." The woman looked around and let go of my hand. She then placed her hand on the wall.
"As I imagined, the black magic is returning. Even after God got rid of everything... Is there a source of magic around here, perhaps underneath?" The woman hit her foot on the ground.
After muttering a few things, she turned back to me, "Okay, we're leaving now." After grabbing my hand again, my vision changed. I was no longer inside that strange place but outside.
I was in the middle of a dark and dirty alley, and to my right, I could see the tower. The door was closed, and I could see a dark aura coming from underneath it.
A few people passed in front of the tower but didn't notice anything.
"They looked like adventurers and didn't notice all this magic?" Even with my system offline, I could feel all the magic coming out of that place. It was magic that I didn't feel before entering there.
"Now, don't get involved anymore."
"Before you go, I need to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Don't you know when the system will return? I have a war to fight." I smiled.
"I don't know either, but if all goes well, the system will return in the next two days."
"Was this a deadline set by God?"
"No."
"..."
The woman then disappeared in front of my eyes. Under the door of the tower, I could see a golden light.
"So that crystal had nothing to do with the glow; it was an angel that appeared..." She is wonderful. And to think that God has such a beautiful woman at his side. Speaking of which, didn't she call him an old pervert?

"It's done; I've already removed Luan from here." The woman said after going back inside the tower. She began to touch all the walls again. "The magic is getting stronger and stronger; there is probably some core around here."
[ Do you think it's him? ]
"No, it can't be. He's been gone for 200 years, no? And why would he come back now and do this?"
[ He's always hated me. He's hindering my entertainment to get my attention; that's got to be it. ]
"I'm impressed you can call this entertainment. So, should I go after the core or the person behind this magic?"
[ Don't worry, I'll take care of it myself ]
"Really?"
[ What? I've been to this world I created before, including together with you. Don't worry; I won't do anything to draw too much attention. ]
"Hm... All right, I'm coming back now."
[ Thank you ~~ ] God said in a playful voice and then started humming. The woman cut off communication at the same instant and then disappeared. As soon as she disappeared, the black magic circulating in the room grew stronger.
Then a mysterious woman appeared.
"So they have given up for the time being? I have to warn the master about that..." She licked the blade of her black dagger, and soon after, her body transformed into several black butterflies.
However, her transformation was undone.
"Wait a minute there. I need to talk to you." An old man with a long beard appeared.

After all that had happened, I returned home. Most people in town were already asleep; the only people awake were the adventurers who enjoyed drinking all night.
I removed my clothes and lay on the bed when I reached my room. After closing my eyes, I heard Lili's voice.
"You went over there, didn't you?"
"Yes, but don't worry, there was nothing there."
"Really? I had such a bad feeling when I was there."
"You were probably overthinking. Maybe because it was too dark there, and you were afraid?"
"I'm not afraid of the dark, and you know it!"
"Okay~~ Okay~~ Now let's go to sleep. I'm tired."
I hugged Lili and continued thinking about everything that had happened and what the outcome of it all was.
