Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 407

[ The Sun God Amaterasu Omikami uses Sun Slash. ]

[ The Sun God Amaterasu Omikami uses boss monster-grade Fear. ]

[ Enhancement is activated. ]

[ Recovery is activated. ]

[ Enhancement is applied. ]

[ The power of Recovery becomes even stronger. ]

Seeing the name card, Su-ho smiled.

Right.

She was truly saved.

Otherwise, there’s no way the epithet “Liberated” would have appeared. In that instant—

Paaaaaaaaah!

The light scattered and spread, and the body that had been wrought of light regained its proper colors like Susanoo and Tsukuyomi.

She had long black hair and wore garments of golden cloth, far more exalted-looking than those of the other gods.

At the same time, her floating body touched down, and upon landing she slowly opened her eyes.

Like the other gods, her eyes were suffused with a glow—golden in her case.

Amaterasu spoke.

Amaterasu’s voice was quite a clear, beautiful one.

Yet there was a strangely overpowering, religious force in it that made him feel as though he ought to worship for some reason.

Su-ho managed a nod and said,

“Yes, that’s right.”

Su-ho observed proper courtesy.

Amaterasu, too, bowed her head in thanks.

“No. I acted out of necessity as well, so you needn’t be overly grateful.”

At her question, Su-ho spoke frankly.

“Exactly as I said. I saved you because there is something I wish to obtain from you.”

“I want to obtain a small sun.”

At the words “small sun,” her brows drew together for an instant.

But Su-ho continued, unbothered.

“Yes. Through the Moon’s Seed, I became someone who possesses a small moon. So, if the process is the same and a similar seed actually exists, I want to acquire the Sun’s Seed and obtain a small sun as well.”

She rolled those two names around in her mouth for a moment.

Then she asked on.

“From Lord Tsukuyomi.”

“Yes, I made a deal with Lord Tsukuyomi. That’s why I saved you.”

“I need power. I’m a Player, and I’m someone whose goal is the end of the Gates.”

“You could think that, but Susanoo’s Apostle isn’t the kind of power I seek. No—more precisely, it’s not that I don’t seek the power; it’s that if I became an Apostle, I’d have to carry that god’s will, and I don’t particularly like Susanoo’s ilk. That’s why I accepted Lord Tsukuyomi’s offer.”

It wasn’t a lie, but his true feelings.

Susanoo was too cruel and base.

Perhaps that was why—

A smile bloomed on Amaterasu’s face upon hearing Su-ho’s answer.

“Does that answer suffice?”

“I’m glad to hear it.”

As expected of Amaterasu.

She was a god who knew faith, duty, and honor.

If it had been Susanoo, he would probably have sneered with something like, “Why are you coming to me to gripe about a deal you made with Tsukuyomi?”

‘How could I even compare them.’

At length, Amaterasu brought her hands together and exhaled—hoo—toward Su-ho.

[ You have obtained the ‘Sun’s Seed.’ ]

[ For achieving a great feat, the system gifts you 10 bonus stat points. ]

Su-ho’s eyes widened at the system alerts.

‘At last...!’

He immediately checked the information of the Sun’s Seed stowed in his inventory.
