Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

The reason why the gods lost interest in Varine and the others was simple. Because their blessing was already removed from them, and they even stood with Zick, helping him here and there.

Well, the whole connection had not been broken, but still, the gods had no intention to refill the power within the remaining blessing in these people.

'....Should I discard this plan?' Zick considered while looking at the dark domain before him.

The sun god most probably laid this trap, hoping Zick would come to take the people here personally. And it was just like Velveric predicted too, Zick fell easily into this trap.

'It must have been a coincidence that I met that woman, but this still shows that I am not good enough.'

Zick did not consider himself to be perfect, there could have been a better way of overcoming that battle, without any fight. In the process, he lost one of his chances to use desirescape too.

And now, another problem appeared before him.

The black domain around the cat and others were not ordinary, most probably made by the death god. It was made so that the people within would die the moment anyone intruded or destroyed it.

Zick could get past this mechanism, but the prize was not small, in his view at least.

Using the low-grade world core, Aurel could easily revive this person, as only an instant must have passed.

This method was only possible as this trap had been long since outdated. Aurel's growth wasn't taken into consideration, now she could affect even great gods' divinity while using world core that is.

Zick began weighting loss and gain.

The reason Zick wanted to bring these people back was to make them dream gods. This had been his plan for a long time, unlike his expectation, people with talent are very rare, more so for people with qualifications to become a god.

However, it wasn't guaranteed that these people could become a god either. So now the question was-

Were these people worth one world core of investment?

'It's a half gamble, huh?' Zick did not like that point, but there was nothing he could do either.

Life is nothing but a gamble anyway, it was up to the person to choose to take it or not.

'Let's take it. I will be sure to make them loyal. Losing one world core is not above my bottom line.' Zick was confident in becoming a great god even if he lost some world core, only time mattered now.

There was no more hesitation within Zick, he had already taken many gambles one after the other, and just this one decision was a breeze to him.

'It's worrying to see the sun god abandoning Philine though. Is it that hard to increase her talent? I will have to find out.'

The god of prophecy, just the name made Zick excited. This pawn was just too useful!

Zick gave a world core to Aurel and began smashing up the black barrier with all his might. The barrier was made by the death god, so it took dozens of days to fully destroy it.

Zick had taken rest only a few times in the middle, to recover and conserve his divinity. No one came around the Igmorous world, finding it to be nothing but a dead planet. No monster appeared either as there was no world core.

CRACK~

The barrier cracked and broke into fragments. However, at the same time, the people within it mysteriously died too.

With a swipe of Zick's hand, all the black fragments were removed from the area.

"Now!" Zick spoke out loud.

A golden light shot toward the place where they died, and at once life returned to their body, while they were still unconscious, Zick was relieved.

Zick sent them all to the dream world, and let some of his subordinates there take care of them.

After Aurel returned, Zick moved towards the whale tribe.

There wasn't even a reason to negotiate, Zick directly sent them to his world, after telling them that they would be his subjects from now on.

Then, Zick plucked the sky tree from underground and planted it in the dream world. This tree was similar to the world tree, born from the world core's energy.

But it could survive even after the world's core was taken away, thanks to the sky's existence. This tree can affect the sky, bringing good weather at every time.

Its power was to be looked down upon either, it was already at the grandmaster rank. And it could still grow.

After taking anything useful, Zick did not dare to stay any longer, he moved back to the dream world with everyone here.

Needing some time to consider, Zick arrived at the terrace, looking at the galaxy-like sky above him.

'I don't have the time to take care of these people, I will concentrate on going to the dragon clan galaxy for now. My clone can take care of them, I do have some amount of trust between them.' Zick thought while holding his chin in wonder.

The existence of the dream world was found out, thanks to what happened. But Zick still did not sell it, he clearly knew the benefit of having a unique world.

If enough resources and time are given, it is possible to create quite troublesome trump cards.

'I will evolve the dream world to mid-grade, once I ascend to great god rank. I don't think it would take a long time, within another decade probably.'

Once the dream world turns mid-grade, the terror can affect the gods too. It would be very beneficial, Zick could gather knowledge easily.

The dragon clan was persistent in buying it, but Zick was adamant till the end. The prize had even reached three mid-grade world cores, however, in the end, it was still rejected.

Not staying put for long, Zick connected a little of his consciousness with a demi-god rank golem and started preparing to depart towards the dragon clan's galaxy.

.....

The cat, a mythical beast, was not aware of what was going on at all since the battle between Zick and the demon race.

Things had truly become blurry. The giants came, imprisoning everyone easily, even stopping the fortress from exploding and saving the people within it.

It was skeptical as to why the giant race was doing this, but it found out not so long after. To use these people against the other gods.

The blessing from these people was not fully severed, causing there to be a flaw left behind. Kururu had intentions to harm the gods using the connection between these people.

As it was known, kururu needed a catalyst to use his divinity perfectly, for this reason, he developed a technique that utilizes this characteristic perfectly.

As it turns out, that was his biggest trump card against the gods too. It was all useless in the end though.

But because of that, they all were able to survive, only to be used by the death god and sun god as bait.

Truthfully, the cat was ignored by the giant god, he was after all, dead at that moment. A demon general had killed him nine times continuously.

However, everyone had forgotten his true identity, the lord of dark spirits. As long as dark spirits existed, the cat could resurrect after a while and that was exactly what happened.

Opening its eyes, the cat looked around its surroundings. What entered its sight was Varine, who slept with her eyes tightly closed.

'....What is happening...?' The cat's eyes turned round, looking around frantically.

It still remembered how the death god just sealed it off in a barrier, literally. It was still vivid in its memory.

Seeing that the five people beside it were safe, the cat slowly got up on the soft floor. It looked at Varine closely for a second, before concentrating on itself.

'It's not working...' No matter how hard the cat tried, no dark spirits were responding to it.

"Ah, so you are awake." A voice came from the entrance of the room, jolting the cat to turn around.

A beautiful girl stood there with a calm look, Arianell's eyes scanned the cat's condition. Behind her, Aurel could be seen standing too.

The cat felt all of its hair stand on the edge, it wasn't able to sense Arianell'a presence at all, even after she entered through the door.

Arianell moved forward, as the cat stayed frozen in place. Even after she stood right before the cat, it could not move an inch, it was feeling that something bad would happen if it did so.

Slowly stretching her arms forward, Arianell picked up the black cat, with interest in her eyes.

"Father said you liked alcohol, do you want some?" Arianell's emotionless voice made her words appear like a threat. But in reality, she took a liking to the cat.

Aurel patted the cat's head, looking at it with interest.

"...Soft...., sis, can we keep this as a pet?" Without the cat's consent, Aurel began discussing taking up its ownership.

That was how it was all the time, Zick's personality had rubbed off on both of them. They did not care even the slightest about the other party's situation and mental condition.

Well, their personality was the reclusive type, to begin with, but now it had downright domineering, in others' view.

"Father won't mind for sure, it doesn't seem like he put much importance on this creature anyway." Arianell began playing with the cat's soft paw while answering.

And in between them, the being that was totally being disregarded thought: 'Just what is going on?'

Cold sweat formed all around the cat, as he heard the conversation between Arianell and Aurel. Before their presence, the cat was nothing but an ant, without any exaggeration.
