God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 340 [DNO]

As far as my knowledge is concerned, I know about the Ghost World as a special skill of a person or a curse of a demon or something. There are, in rare cases like this one, an artifact that can create a ghost world as well.

But a trial? Now that is something that I have never heard about. Most people chose to just kill themselves in the Ghost world, and then travel back to the main city by reviving after the penalty of 36 Hours.

Even those who tried to understand the Ghost world, didn't make much of it, except once where a guy happened to luckily kill the owner of the Ghost world and escaping from hit. He didn't gain anything from the Ghost world though.

'Even I wanted to kill the owner to escape from there, but since the 'Gate' was mentioned and I saw the key, I thought that there was a way out of this one. All the more because Oriel somehow managed to get out of there on his own. I wanted to check that one out too,' I pondered about it before looking at Alepsia, slightly weirded out by me.

"Well. Since I am in a good mood, I guess I can forgive your rudeness. Listen, Ghost World is a Dimension created for Trials for the mortals. It is created by the universe to give them an opportunity to increase their power. Through what kind of power they receive is dependent upon their own capability," she explained things briefly.

I nodded as I continued asking," Hmmm… have you heard about the Chalice of Equilibrium?"

Her eyes opened up wide as she looked at me," where did you hear that name?"

"On my adventures. It is one of the things that I am searching for… I have heard that it is related to a ghost world," I lied as I looked at her. It doesn't seem like she could read minds, else she wouldn't be as surprised as she is right now. Though I still need to make my lies believable.

"Is that so? Hmm… that makes sense. I won't pry to what you need that Unholy Chalice for, but since you are asking, I do know about it. Or to be fair, I know about the creator of that object," she spoke as she began pondering about it. Her eyes seemed to be thinking deep before she looked at me,

"Do you really want to know about it? It's quite chaotic knowledge that could make you a potential target of both the Ancient Gods as well as the True Gods."

Her warning seemed genuine and I could only thank her for the care she was doing for me. I will truly repay you, Alepsia, for the trust you are showing to me.

"It is fine. I got my own fair share of sacred knowledge," I chuckled as I looked at her. It wasn't a lie, so it was fine. She seemed curious about it, but she held back as she spoke out,

"All right. Since that is the case, I will tell you about that, Chalice. But let me start from the Goddess Herself. The Goddess of Balance, Equi."

Unlike the True Gods, the Goddess of Balance was a minor God. Though her power rose somewhere in the last century when the Nation of Magic was born. They believed that all magic is equal, and a balance exists between the dark and the light.

Equi saw it as an opportunity for her growth and spent a lot of time growing her church. As if by fate, she even got a Saint Under her. The Saint of Equilibrium. With his reign under Equi's guidance, she was able to grow exponentially enough to make Equi stand beside the True Gods.

Though rather than joining the True Gods, she chose to pave a path with a non-aggression pact between the Ancient Gods and the True Gods. Obvious enough, the True Gods were enraged by this idea… so much that they sent all their saints to kill her followers and then imprison her saint. All her followers were burned and there was nothing left of her except some of her artifacts.

One of the 7 artifacts of the Goddess, the Chalice of Equilibrium, contains the power to create a world where everything is balanced. It has a strange property that nobody understands. And its powers weren't something that gods even wanted to take a look at. Thus, they left the artifacts in the hands of the saints who acquired it.

'Use it as you see fit,' the Gods said to their saints.

Apart from this, the Chalice of Equilibrium also has a strange power of giving something in exchange for what you pour into it. Though what it gives is totally up to it. However, not once something better came out of it.

"And apart from that, the Chalice was last seen in the Nation of Night and Moon, where the Moon Goddess resides. Though that was about 20 yrs ago, so nobody knows anything for sure. Hmmm… I guess that is all I know about this thing. If you want, I can search more about it," Alepsia spoke as she finished her apple while I was in deep thought.

"No… Thank you. I think this was enough information. I guess I will be traveling to the Nation of Night and Moon to find more about it. Hmmm… since we are at it, Can I ask you another question?" I looked at her, making her nod at me.

"Do you know about the Sin of Greed?" I asked with a serious face, making her turn at me. She made a small smile as she spoke,"I know but I don't think I can tell you anything about it. We Gods are forbidden from telling the successor of another God to Mortals… The Seven sins are no exceptions as well."

I nodded as I thanked her before checking the System. Well, let's confirm my doubts first…
