Chapter 386: Reminiscing About The Past In The Sea Of Chaos



"Furthermore, there's still the Sea of Chaos. As long as I can absorb the chaotic energy from there, I'll be able to heal all my injuries in just a few decades rather than a century."

Hearing Alister's calm assurance, Zanna and Lynn relaxed, their worries easing. The hero party also breathed a collective sigh of relief, grateful that their leader had survived and was no longer in immediate danger.

The gods of the Wright Pantheon felt equally relieved. They understood the precariousness of their situation. If Alister had died, their future would have been bleak.

In a pantheon, the death of the God King was far more destabilizing than the death of an emperor in an empire.

Even though Zanna could potentially step up and lead as the God Queen, it wouldn't be the same.

Alister's position as God King wasn't just due to his strength but also his critical connection to Lilyana Rue Fae, the Goddess of Law and Balance. Alister's reign meant that the Wright Pantheon had the backing of Lilyana, which was a powerful deterrent.

It was, in fact, Lilyana Rue Fae's intervention that had prevented Fantasia from descending and attacking the Magic Fantasy World herself. Instead, Fantasia had to rely on her High God subordinate, Ignar.

If Alister had truly perished, the pantheon would lose Lilyana's protection, leaving them exposed to Fantasia's wrath. And though they couldn't fully comprehend Fantasia's power, the fact that even a High God was merely one of her subordinates was enough to make them fear her.

After Zanna and Lynn gave the command for the Wright Pantheon gods to disperse, the gods bid farewell and quietly left the scene.

The hero party, led by Toshokan Hondana, followed suit. Hondana, ever mindful, didn't want the hero party to intrude on Alister's private time with his wives.

Once the gods had left, Zanna and Lynn used their divine powers to teleport themselves and Alister back to Zanna's mansion.

Inside the mansion, Alister remained lying on the bed, not in any rush to head to the Sea of Chaos.

Although he needed the Sea of Chaos to fully heal, soaking in its chaotic energy would take decades of complete concentration. That meant he wouldn't be able to spend any time with Zanna and Lynn during that period, so he lingered for now, wanting to savor these moments with them.

Sighing as he tested his ability to move, Alister muttered, "I came so close to dying. In a full- dive simulation like this, death means real death."

"Thankfully, I still have my black-grade Second Chance talent. Even if I die in the real world, I have a second life. And there's no limit on how many times I can come back."

Alister paused, reflecting on the limits of his extraordinary ability. "Of course, the only exception is if I get hit by something beyond the black-grade talent's upper limit— something from a simulated talent above black-grade."

His confidence in fighting Ignar, a High God, wasn't just due to his strength and talents but also because of his Second Chance (Black) talent. That assurance had kept him fighting, knowing he could return if things went wrong.

However, he recognized that if a Great God had descended instead of Ignar, he would likely have burned through several second chances just to find a way to defeat such an opponent. And if an existence stronger than a Great God ever appeared, Alister knew there would be no choice but to retreat-quickly.

In such a scenario, Alister would prioritize his wives, Zanna and Lynn, ensuring their safety above all else. Ideally, he'd take his comrades from the hero party as well, but if that wasn't possible, he would have to focus on escaping with his wives.

"There's no sense in fighting a battle that can't be won," Alister thought pragmatically.

"No matter how slim the chances, even if there's the smallest possibility of success, I'd be willing to gamble with my Second Chance (Black) talent until I find a way. But if the odds are truly zero, there's no shame in accepting reality and retreating."

For Alister, it wasn't about pride or stubbornness. He understood when to press on and when to concede. If there was no path to victory, he knew retreat was the most rational and logical decision to make.

With that in mind, Alister decided to spend a full year with Zanna and Lynn before beginning his seclusion in the Sea of Chaos.

Although his internal injuries were severe, he could still function like a normal person. The only limitation was that he couldn't push himself too hard with his divine powers, or risk worsening his injuries.

Despite this restriction, it didn't stop Alister from enjoying his time with his wives.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Whether it was sharing intimate moments with them in bed or playing video games using the advanced technology he and Lynn had developed, Alister made the most of his time.

He cherished every moment, fully immersing himself in their companionship.

A year passed quickly, and Alister had bid farewell to Zanna and Lynn, ready to begin his recovery. He made his way to the edge of the Mystic Forest, where the Sea of Chaos lay in wait.

Standing at the edge of the forest, Alister gazed out at the swirling chaotic energy of the Sea of Chaos.

The sight triggered memories of his early days in the Magic Fantasy World, back when he first encountered Zanna. It was here, in this very place, that his journey in the Magic Fantasy World had truly begun.

He reflected on how far he had come. Zanna had been his guide, helping him adapt to the world's complex power system and gain a foothold.

With her support, he had risen through the ranks, eventually reaching the pinnacle of the Magic Fantasy World and achieving godhood.

Not only had he become a god, but he had also established his own Pantheon, a testament to the strength and influence he had built.

Looking at the Sea of Chaos now, Alister knew that this place marked both the beginning of his rise and the key to his recovery.

"As long as I can heal my internal injuries, I can end this full-dive simulation and open up a new simulated world. By then, I can let Zanna and Lynn accompany me in the next simulated

world."
