The Author Is Speechless

Chapter 137: A God Candidate

\'Is someone talking shit about me-_-? Why is my ear tickling now?" Viktor drilled his ear with his pinky finger and said, "Oi Adonis, is my ear red?"

Adonis looked at his ear after taking off his golden-framed glasses and said, "No? They are fine. Moreover, your blood cells are slowly turning golden. So you won\'t blush red after a few months or so."

"Yes. I\'m shiny!!"

"Master-_-. Please don\'t stand on the table when it\'s pilled with papers."

Viktor took his phone out of his phone and looked at the screen. There were countless text messages from Ijin but he was too busy to reply to any of them. Even Baek called him but his phone was on silent mode.

"Hu? He called me? By the way, it\'s almost 6 pm. Adonis, did you eat your lunch?"

"None of us did. We were busy with office work."

Adonis and Viktor were in QH headquarter, discussing the recent change of orders. The American association allied with the European association so the stock market went crazy. Moreover, the international business also faced lots of losses and for that reason, they all asked help from QH, a multinational enterprise.

Since the company handled so many businesses, it was facing a great tragedy since the international alliance was suddenly cut off.

"Adonis, it\'s almost time for your next schedule."

A man came inside his office and saw Viktor standing on the table with his phone. "What is this mess?"

It was the president of the company.

"Oh… We meet again."

"Sir North, what are you doing in his office?"

"Helping out."

"It doesn\'t look like you\'re helping. Please get down from the table and leave the office. Sir Adonis has to attain a meeting now."

Adonis closed a file and said, "Don\'t mind him. He actually helped a lot. The southern association directors are coming to Seoul tomorrow to discuss more about the new alliance. Please don\'t make him go away. He\'s the next chairman after all."

Viktor then said, "Now I don\'t feel like helping at all-_-." He opened the window to the office and jumped on it.

"Sir North!! Please come down from there! You will fall!!"

Adonis took his papers from the table and walked near the door to leave with the president. "But!! Sir!!"

"Don\'t worry. It\'s not like he\'ll actually fall. My brother can even withstand a nuclear bomb from very close. This much height is some meters for him."

"Adonis, see you at night."

"Yes. Come home soon." Adonis left the room with his worried president and Viktor flew out of Seoul to walk around for a bit. He went out to clear his mind.

\'Now let\'s sum up things now.

First of all, I shouldn\'t get involved with humans. I prioritize my holiday over absolute power to control humans. They aren\'t immortal so does their business. If I picke up a business on earth, I\'ll have to maintain so many things in exchange for cash that barely has any values to me now.

That would be such a waste of time.

But the situation isn\'t as simple as it seems to be. My greatest fear is the hidden brother of mine who\'s preparing himself for over a million years by now. Since he\'s a part of me, I can understand why he\'s taking so long.

He\'s waiting to make his food fully grilled. He\'s maintaining his patience and I am also sure he\'s looking at me right now. He\'s been monitoring me since I gained my fragments back. But I am sure that he\'s surprised at how powerful I\'ve become.\'

"But, there goes a saying, \'No matter how clever you are, there always will be one who can outrun you."

He looked at the setting Sun and sat down on an edge of a building to clear his mind. He wasn\'t worried but he had that uncomfortable feeling in his chest.

He knew everything was in his control. But since he wasn\'t a fully GOD yet, every living being\'s record wasn\'t in his knowledge.

The only god he had access to was the one who created him and the existence of others was unknown.

He sighed and took out his record to see the near future. It was divided into 4 pathways and it was almost time for him to decide which one to take.

\'If I choose one of them, there\'s no going back. One of them leads to my death but it also has a possibility to defeat my other half with so many achievements. The others are green but they have a 50/50 chance of win/loss.\'

\'Tsk!! I need to go and study inside my library again. I need to find out more to increase my safety.\'

"I will definitely win this battle."

He vanished because of the teleportation magic he used and went inside his room. Adonis wasn\'t at home yet.

…

Deep inside Viktor\'s record library.

He threw a heavy book on a table and took a seat after stretching his arms. Even though it was inside his mind, he wanted to make things feel real.

He opened the book and read the introduction out loud.

"The goddess of light!!!

Birth: 120th Astral year!!!"

\'Why am I acting like a kid-_-.\'

He shook his head and started to read her life from the very beginning.

The goddess of light was the 5th daughter of the god of the sun and the goddess of holiness. At first, she was a cheerful god candidate and worked very hard to achieve the god position. Her days as a goddess were peaceful until she broke the heavenly law.

She created elemental guardians with a part of her soul in a hidden realm called the realm of guardians. At that time, she didn\'t know what were the consequences of creating a being without any spouse. Moreover, the being she created was neither male nor female.

The rumour spread quickly and it reached the ears of the kings of gods.

She was immediately kicked out of the king\'s realm and she blamed the elemental guardians for her downfall. She listed the powerful guardians as criminals and ordered her guards to kill them without showing any mercy.

Little did she know that the kings had already fixed their eyes on the kids who had the potential of becoming gods. But when they saw the god candidates were killed, she was again stripped from her noble title.

After that, she became evil and started to plot against the god kings by becoming the mistress of the water god. She was again looking above to climb up to her position and declare war against the kings of gods.

\'What a messed up situation. So the goddess is technically every guardian\'s mother. We are created from her fragments so it\'s natural that some of us are God\'s candidates. But what is she trying to achieve by fighting with the gods? She\'s already a goddess. Isn\'t she?\'

A few years passed inside his library and yet, the book seems to be an infinite length. Her record was so big because her age was more than a quadrillion and reading that huge amount and summing it up wasn\'t something a god candidate could do.

Besides, there wasn\'t even a living being who would go through such burdens to collect some information.

After his fragment became full, his brain activity became faster so his reading speed also increased.

But the book was so long that it took him 10 years just to reach 300 billion years of record. And in the span of that long year, she did nothing but play around catching butterflies in heaven.

He threw the book at the bookshelf and screamed, "F*** it!!!! What a waste!!!!"

He immediately went out of his library and saw Adonis looking straight at his face. It looked the same as he did 10 years ago because in reality, an hour passed.

"Master, it\'s 8 pm already. Dinner is served."

\'I can\'t believe I\'m getting used to this. I can\'t believe I am almost 90 years old. And yet, I don\'t feel like I missed him.\'

"Oh, Adonis. When did you come back?"

"A few minutes ago. Master, did you enjoy your naptime?"

"Yes." He stood up from his chair and said, "Let\'s go have dinner. I feel like I\'m starving."

"Yes, master."

\'I don\'t feel like it\'s been 10 years, but it actually passed in my library realm. It feels like it\'s been a day. Is this why the goddess played around for 300 billion years? The understanding of time is different based on the amount of time a living being has. If he has 100 years of life expectancy, he\'d do everything in 60 years.

But there is a catch.

If someone has a 1000-year of life expectancy, he\'d do the same as any normal human would do. He\'d get a job at the age between 200 to 300. Make babies before 400 and retire at 600.

Since they are used to the time and longevity, 100 years isn\'t something big of a deal.

But what if a being with a short life expectancy gets an infinite life? Would he do the same as those who live 1000 years of life with a slow mind? Or live as a normal human with 100 years of life expectancy?

The answer is quite simple.

The beings who have an enormous amount of time, their mindset is slower than any humans who live for only 60-70 years. The reason why my brother hasn\'t attacked me is because he\'s not used to fast life. He\'s an immortal being that has never experienced aging quickly like a human and it\'s been only a million years since I died. Not even 50 years has passed since I was born as human in mortal realm.

I believe he will take more years just to even think about planning to attack me. But little did he know that I\'m already 3 steps further in the race of time.

Since I have the mind of a human, it will work as an advantage against him. Because I can be patient as the God of patients and inpatient as a starving devil at the same time.\'

Viktor finished his dinner quietly and then said, "Adonis, I will be teaching you the fundamental equations of casting heavenly magic spells."

Adonis was a little shocked to hear that so asked, "That higher degree magic?"

"Since you successfully made an infinite mana heart, I think it\'s the best time to teach you intermediate-level magic. Your class starts at 8 pm tomorrow."

"As you wish, master. I will be there at the right time."

\'You should, because you\'re a God candidate as well.\'
