EP.1031 Part 3 Chapter 3 Section 18
Damn it. No matter how I think about it, this is absolutely screwed.
Why is it screwed? It’s because there are way too many unexpected variables popping up.
‘After all the agonizing battles I fought on Earth for twenty years…’
On that Earth of twenty years ago, there were far too many variables.
I was given only one chance, and within that single opportunity, I had to eliminate all variables to progress toward the true ending where Shin-ra would be saved.
But even so, variables kept occurring, and I had to respond accordingly.
This time, I thought I could deal with things a little more flexibly, or perhaps more calmly…
“Cheon Gaeul will definitely be here.”
I can state that with certainty.
This isn’t because I have complaints about Cheon Gaeul, but because she, along with another, can generate an incredible synergy effect.
“What if Cheon Gaeul synced with the Neutral Wyrm?”
Any specific conditions or restrictions now hold no meaning.
Even I emerged from the world to face a new ending, Seok Harang and Yuinah broke through as well—so there’s no reason why Cheon Gaeul couldn’t do the same.
Although her personality might be a bit… off, syncing with the Neutral Wyrm wasn’t exactly “impossible.”
Both Cheon Gaeul and Xiao Lin shared similar conditions.
They were both individuals who died once and became Monsters, differing only in whether the Phoenix at the time was their master or if the Neutral Wyrm was.
After my connection to all Monsters was severed when I evaporated on the Earth of twenty years ago,
if the Neutral Wyrm inherited the contract with the Monsters, then there’s no reason why the Neutral Wyrm and Cheon Gaeul couldn’t merge.
“…No.”
Cheon Gaeul is still a variable.
Think of her like a bomb that could explode at any moment. But the truly dangerous variable lies elsewhere.
“…”
My image.
The image I’ve built as the Phoenix.
It doesn’t matter if I was making dramatic ‘puh-heh’ sounds as Blazing Phoenix like Nuri said.
What matters right now is my current image.
“I can’t become some random guy spreading adult content.”
Currently, through the Dark Goddess, I’m distributing R-rated adult content to the people of this world.
Even the fact that someone in this world is locked in their room waving at a goddess, or that said goddess happily strips down to show everything—including the insides of her body—is problematic.
And now, by responding to such situations by distributing adult content, I’ve also become part of the problem.
If someone sees this situation without understanding the full context, they’ll think I’ve become some hardcore uploader.
This happened after I had sufficient discussions with those here: Shin-ra, Harang, and Yuna.
But will they really understand?
Would they believe me if I insisted that the Agaramites were already in this state before I did anything?
Absolutely not.
They won’t believe it.
I wouldn’t even believe it myself.
So immediate action must be taken.
“I’ll handle this situation here for now. You also need your own cleanup, so let’s touch base in three hours.”
[Understood. Uh, about notifying others…]
“Don’t. If you do, we’ll all die. If people find out about this other world, there will be countless who will try to come over.”
[…Don’t worry about it.]
“Hey, I was about to say something!”
Yun Yuhwa puffed out his cheeks and openly displayed his dissatisfaction.
“[Besides, I didn’t even tell the others. We just confirmed Nuri’s situation now, so I already let them know not to worry too much.]”
“[She’s in another dimension due to her special ability, Chief!]
“…As expected. No room for error. Count on you there. Then.”
After removing my magical gear, I created a sphere wrapped in dual layers of earth magic power and Chang-yeom’s flames to seal it.
If I reconnect exactly three hours later…
No, after eliminating all variables, I’ll connect immediately.
I spread my wings right away and headed toward the Dark Goddess’ shrine.
Whether it should be called a shrine or a house, Ang was still editing 19+ videos inside her room…
“Ahhh….”
Correction.
She was pleasuring herself.
The sight before me overlapped with the scene from moments ago when I had been talking with Yuna and Hikari, making my vision spin.
‘This isn’t good.’
There’s no way I can show this to Nuri.
I approached the Dark Goddess after opening the door to her shrine.
“The plan is canceled.”
“What…?”
“If there are predicted side effects, there’s no reason to continue using it. There will be no more supply.”
“Hold on a second. You’re suddenly saying what? Stop uploading…you mean?”
“Yeah.”
At my words, the Dark Goddess’ expression immediately hardened.
“Can you at least stop what you’re doing with your hand first?”
“…Nope.”
“What?”
“Why should I stop?”
Without any hesitation, the Dark Goddess started moving her hand in front of me.
“Before you leave, I already planned out what scenes we’d do for next season. Coming here now and pulling this stunt, what does that make me? What about my followers? You even promised them by saying ‘Look forward to Season 2′ because you claimed you’d upload it. And now you want to cut off the supply…?”
The Dark Goddess’ hair began to rise upward.
Her shadow sharpened like a blade, pointing straight at me.
“This is betrayal.”
“…”
“You ate all my snacks and now you’re saying something else…? Did you find someone else?”
Ouch.
“Is there someone else besides me? You’ve connected with people whose hobbies must remain hidden. So, you wanna become an insider…? Or did you come into our otaku culture circle, gave us a taste of heaven, and now you’re saying ‘Had fun, see ya’ as you leave? Not happening.”
Since when was Ang so articulate?
“Give me back 100,000 romantic-sex fantasy dramas if you’re leaving.”
“Wait. The world is facing an unprecedented danger right now.”
“My world, the Agaramites, are facing an unprecedented crisis: the destruction of Kyungflix.”
“But it hasn’t even been a month yet!”
“In that one month, no one incited more sensational explosions than you, outsider.”
Swoosh.
The tip of Ang’s hair pointed at my throat.
With Great Mother Goddess Yuna currently teaching Nuri, I have to face the Dark Goddess as the S-Rank Phoenix avatar.
“Choose. Either we stay friends, or you hand over 100,000 videos and we part ways.”
“…What nonsense are you spouting?”
Ultimately, I only have one choice right now.
“Let’s change the direction of our business, friend.”
“Direction…?”
“Yeah. Isn’t it better to teach a hungry person how to fish instead of just giving them fish?”
“That means….”
“Yeah.”
I pointed toward the digital world of the Agaramites.
“We make them create their own content. At least one out of every hundred won’t just be consumers but producers creating something new. Or maybe they already are.”
“…How?”
“Simple.”
A strategy that prevents the Agaramites’ faith in Ang from collapsing while ensuring I’m no longer a heavy uploader.
“…Otaku Coins.”

The Goddess’ Romantic-Sex Fantasy Drama achieved great success.
Those who prayed to the Goddess—and maybe toned it down at home—began to increase one by one, and shrines with statues of the Goddess started appearing…
Inside the temple, the priests were also having increasingly busy days.
“Praise the Dark Goddess!”
As a priest and high priestess of the Dark Goddess, and her proxy on earth, ‘Noir’ once again had a sleepless night due to the endless stream of followers.
– When’s the next episode?
– When will the Goddess send us the next one?
– Is there going to be extra footage for Season 1? Of course, it’s all about sex, for sex, and by sex!
The visitors seeking her mostly asked about the Goddess’s will.
There had been people asking about the Goddess’s will before. But ever since the romantic-sex fantasy drama began, the number of those coming to watch the Goddess’s drama kept increasing daily.
Of course, among them were also those who had given up believing in gods.
– Why did the Goddess have sex with a man?
– The Goddess has been defiled by another man’s dick…!
– My one-and-only Goddess…! How could she become a dirty rag having sex with other men!
Blasphemy against the sacred!
Priests and clerics quickly arrested those who slandered the Dark Goddess and threw them into jail.
What?
The Dark Goddess isn’t a virgin anymore?
How can anyone living in Agramina dare speak so harshly about the Goddess?
“Those impious ones who don’t even understand the Dark Goddess’s consideration in suggesting they project themselves as the male partner to feel the act of sex…”
She grew angry every time she thought about the heretics.
They create such a fuss in front of everyone but secretly compile videos titled “Dark Goddess Cleanup Compilation,” never missing a beat.
Their hypocrisy left Noir utterly speechless.
“Haa…”
Noir sighed.
“Why do people behave this way when the Dark Goddess is working so hard to spread faith directly?”
Why don’t the people of the world understand?
Even though the Dark Goddess personally shoots scenes of herself having sex to teach everyone to live harmoniously through sex…
“O Dark Goddess, I only hope your will spreads throughout the world.”
Noir knelt before the statue of the Goddess.
Behind her, other priests also knelt and prayed to the Goddess statue.
Ssshhh.
The Goddess statue began to shine, and Noir looked up.
[My priest.]
“Ahh, O Dark Goddess…!!”
The Dark Goddess emerged from the shadows, extending her hand toward Noir.
[There will be no next episode.]
“Eh…?”
Caught red-handed longing for more episodes, Noir couldn’t lift her head in shame.
[But my child, I want to see your potential.]
“Potential…?”
[Yes.]
Ssshhh.
Something began flowing around the Goddess.
[Stories, novels, songs, tales, pictures, videos—anything will do. If you truly believe in me, show your devotion through faith.]
“That means…”
[When your faith reaches me someday, I shall return to you with the next message.]
“G-Goddess…!!”
Ssshhh.
The Dark Goddess disappeared.
Though overwhelmed by despair, Noir knelt, while the priests ecstatically rejoiced at the ideas forming in their minds.
“Ah, ah…! Vibrant stories are coming to me…!”
“My hands are screaming to hold a pen! Yaoi manga! More yaoi manga!”
“3D modeling for fan-made videos is allowed…? Oh Goddess…!!”
“…”
The priests immediately began tapping on their wrist devices to spread the word.
Noir too gathered herself and announced the revelation entrusted to her to all believers, to the entire land of Agramina.
“The Goddess wishes for porn inspired by her image.”
Agramina.
The Great Yaoi Era had begun.
“Big Brother, does that mean you’re not a porn uploader anymore?”
“I know nothing. Do you have proof it was me who spread that video?”
“The dick looks just like yours, Bro.”
“I’ve never let anyone see my dick, so what are you talking about?”
“Looks exactly like a Phoenixroid dick, though.”
“…”
“Anyway, it wasn’t me.”
