The God's Games

From its size, it seemed to be about the same height as a human.

The three heads that was connected together in a distinctive way made Spicy Flavor Fairy shout out its name instinctively: "Cerberus, the Hellhound?"

Upon hearing its name, one of the heads of the three-headed dog lifted slightly while the other two lowered, showing which head was in charge.

All three heads bared their sharp fangs and let out a roar, with a foul smell wafting towards them.

Clearly, it was the big boss who is guarding this area.

Master PungPong asked cautiously, "There are only four of us. Can we beat this boss?"

But Hanjun replied, "Cerberus is the mount of the God of Darkness. It's likely the strongest one among the demon beasts, just like the White Moon Wolf Clan under the God of Light."

Master PungPong's eyes widened in shock, "That strong? There are only a few of us. There's no way we can beat it, right?"

This place didn't look like somewhere they should be.

If Hanjun hadn't been with them, they might have died as soon as they entered this Abyss Zone.

Hanjun smiled and said, "Why not? Besides, Cerberus being here means we've found the right place. This is the Abyss."

While they were talking, Cerberus didn't care about their conversation.

It had already started moving slowly toward them, step by step.

Its movements were like those of a beast that had spotted its prey, and it clearly saw Master PungPong and his group as its next meal.

Master PungPong noticed this and said with a worried face, "Please stop talking. The Cerberus is almost here!"

Hanjun took a step forward, standing in front of Cerberus, and said to the players, "I'll handle the Cerberus. You all just need to stay safe."

Just like he said, everything in this Abyss Zone should be left to Hanjun.

As Hanjun slowly approached the Cerberus, the main head of Cerberus flared its nostrils, trying to catch the scent of the person in front of it.

It seemed like it had picked up a familiar smell...

Cerberus paused its attack and barked at Hanjun.

"Ruff.."

The bark sounded no different from that of a regular dog.

But Hanjun understood what it was saying.

[ Your scent... is very familiar. Who are you? ]

Of course, Hanjun wouldn't reveal his identity in front of the players.

He simply replied, "If the God of Darkness and the God of Light were on good terms back then, it makes sense that you would recognize the power I carry."

One of Cerberus's heads continued to sniff him carefully and barked again.

[ You do have the scent of the God of Light, but why are you here? ]

Hanjun shrugged his shoulder and said, "I want to see the God of Darkness. He should be asleep here, right? Our last conversation was unfinished, and I have some questions to ask him."

Cerberus didn't answer him; there was some confusion in its mind.

Just as Hanjun said, it did recognize the scent on Hanjun, but the God of Darkness had ordered it not to let anyone through.

Did that include Hanjun as well?

Cerberus didn't have very high intelligence, so its thinking was temporarily stuck.

Master PungPong saw this and whispered to the others, "What's going on? They didn't start fighting?"

Spicy Flavor Fairy squinted and said, "It looks like Cerberus isn't a boss for now, but more like a story-related NPC. Too bad we can't understand what it's saying."

Even though they didn't know what was Cerberus said, they realized this was an important part of the story, so they focused on what would happen next.

Cerberus stayed silent for a long time without saying anything, so Hanjun suggested, "How about you go inside and ask the God of Darkness? Tell him what's happening here and let him decide whether to see me or not."

Cerberus immediately refused his suggestion.

[ No. ]

Hanjun asked, "Why not?"

[ Because my God has fallen into a deep sleep. He said not to disturb his rest unless it's a special situation. ]

Hanjun frowned.

Asleep?

The last time he saw the God of Darkness in a dream, the God of Darkness's mind seemed quite alert.

And the actions of the demons should have been directed by the God of Darkness.

So why would Cerberus say that the God of Darkness is still asleep?

However, Hanjun was determined to meet the God of Darkness and get some answers from him, so he said, "So, isn't my appearance now considered a special situation?"

Cerberus was silent for a moment, unsure of how to reply.

Cerberus could sense that Hanjun had a special identity, but it couldn't think clearly about the situation.

Hanjun didn't want to wait for Cerberus to respond any longer.

He had already been as patient as he could be.

When he was just about to take action.

Then Cerberus thought carefully with its three heads and suddenly said.

[ Alright, you can go in, but the people behind you cannot. ]

Hanjun lowered his raised hand, and Cerberus didn't even realize it had narrowly escaped a terrible fate.

When Hanjun turned around to look at the players, Master PungPong and the others quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, we'll just wait here."

After all, they were deep in the Abyss, and the demons wouldn't come here.

As long as Cerberus didn't attack them, they would be safe.

Seeing how relaxed they were, Hanjun nodded his head and said, "Alright then, stay here. I'll be back soon."

Master PungPong watched as Hanjun walked into the darkness alone, while Cerberus stood guard at the entrance.

The players looked around, feeling a bit uneasy without Hanjun, so they tried to distract themselves by talking.

Master PungPong said, "Looks like we won't be able to see what happens in Hanjun's storyline, but maybe we can take this time to analyze the current situation. It might help us understand the main quest better."

Spicy Flavor Fairy adjusted his glasses and said, "It's good that you're thinking like that. Let me share my thoughts next."
