Suddenly, Maggie felt that her idea might be too obvious. Perhaps the Earth God didn't need her help, and that she was only here for some special reason.
"fine."
So Maggie shook her head. She didn't really know what to say to a god she was meeting for the first time and didn't know very well.
“A person who is not in danger would not appear in this desert. There is no other life here except me.”
Arunta put it bluntly.
His secret observation and avoidance of speaking directly to Maggie was also a sign of his vigilance.
"Hmm...maybe...perhaps you need my help?"
Maggie was balding and spoke with a hint of frustration.
It's normal to be wary of beings of unknown origin in this chaotic world, and Maggie understands this, but not entirely.
"?"
Arunta paused, his expression unchanged, but Maggie sensed the doubt in him.
"So, you're saying that as a false god, now that the battle for the divine throne is about to begin, why haven't you gone yet?"
Seeing this, Maggie knew that if she didn't come clean, she was unlikely to gain Arunta's trust, so she simply told him everything.
"..."
Arunta fell into an eerie silence, before finally speaking softly after a long while.
"I have no idea."
Just four words almost made Maggie, who was ready to help, slip and fall on the spot.
"???"
This time, Maggie was stunned. She carefully examined Arunta's expression and realized that he did not show any signs of lying.
In other words, he was so uninformed that he had no idea that a battle for the divine throne had already begun outside.
They remained stuck at the spawn point, not even considering leaving.
Maggie seemed to understand why he was there.
Although she could only be considered a messenger.
"In short, you should set off now. You need to go to the sacred mountain, where the war of the gods is about to begin. If you don't participate, you will die once the divine positions are determined."
Maggie gave Arunta a serious and concise explanation, but the man looked at her with a strange expression.
Is there anything wrong with what I said?
She felt strange being stared at, subconsciously touched her face, and asked a question in return.
"No problem, so are you a human from outside?"
Arunta shook her head, not continuing Maggie's previous topic, and instead asked another unimportant question.
"...right."
Maggie herself couldn't explain where she came from. Except for meeting the Archangel, which prevented her from revealing her future identity, she wouldn't tell any god.
She had no way of knowing what the future impact would be.
If the gods return to their divine positions and remember her, how can she explain it in a reasonable way? Maggie can't even imagine it.
However, it's also possible to exploit these favors for personal gain.
Maggie was lost in thought, while Arunta was already looking thoughtful. As Maggie observed Arunta, Arunta was also observing Maggie.
In the Arunta region, only one human woman had ever passed through, but she died in his desert very soon after.
Therefore, in every sense, his only way of obtaining external information had been cut off for an unknown period of time, and even his speech was based on imitation of that human woman's memories.
He has a strong learning ability, but unfortunately, he has very few samples to draw from.
Arunta hadn't considered the possibility of going out.
So Maggie was actually the second human he encountered, and he had no idea that a calamity of the undead had just occurred outside.
The human woman came a very, very long time ago. In Arunta's memories, there were still remnants from the Deep Sea Mermaid Era. The woman fled to the desert to escape the spread of the coastline.
They were completely unaware of the struggle for divine positions.
He was like a hermit living in seclusion. Countless dynasties changed hands outside, but he remained here and never left.
It is clearly a god who has existed for a long time, yet it knows nothing.
Maggie had no idea that Arunta was actually a blank slate. Seeing that Arunta could communicate and interact normally, she assumed that he was a normal person.
As a result, Maggie became Arunta's second source of information, and for a long time afterward, Arunta's behavior was influenced by Maggie's style and habits.
"In short, if you don't want to die, you'd better come with me."
Seeing that Arunta was looking at her intently, Maggie said to him with a serious expression.
If we don't set off now, we'll definitely miss it.
Seeing Maggie's determined expression, Arunta agreed to Maggie's request without much hesitation.
Neither of them knew each other well enough, and in order to ensure that things wouldn't change in the future, Maggie took Arunta with her on the journey.
A saintess from the future who came to correct the timeline, and a god who has never left his birthplace since birth.
They began their journey towards the sacred mountain.
...
Although Arunta is a false god who lacks common sense and doesn't know much about the outside world, he is very good at observing. He silently remembers everything Maggie does.
He wouldn't take the initiative to do anything, so he never revealed any flaws.
During the few days that Maggie accompanied him, she didn't even notice anything wrong with him.
Arunta was like a sponge, quietly learning from Maggie's knowledge and understanding of her surroundings, even subtly trying to elicit information from Maggie during conversations.
That would be enough for him to get more information.
"You are a human, why didn't you help the human race?"
As the two passed by the devastated human capital city, ravaged by the Scourge of the Undead, they asked Maggie a question as if in casual conversation.
"I already helped them."
Nofel's image flashed through Maggie's mind, and she answered casually.
She thought that he should have already arrived at the sacred mountain.
Hopefully, he can successfully use the intelligence she gave him to eliminate those competitors.
Although Maggie always complains that the God of Light is a rip-off, it doesn't mean that Maggie wants to change the God of Light. At least Nophiel is truly on the side of humanity.
"Then why did you help me?"
Arunta was very curious.
"...Because you are special."
Maggie didn't know how to answer, so she gave a very perfunctory answer.
Little did he know that Arunta would carefully remember every word he learned from her, and this sentence was also imprinted in his heart.
"I am special to you."
Arunta muttered to herself.
He had also seen many other living beings in the past few days and had gained some understanding of the human race, including, naturally, the aspect of emotions.
Yes, you are special.
Maggie was completely out of sync with Arunta; she was preoccupied with his divine status as the Earth God and answered without thinking.
