"Revive all the participants of this game," Nash dered.


    "If they''re revived, they''ll continue with the game. Are you certain?" the God of Equilibrium asked.


    Nash then understood that as long as the God of Equilibrium existed, he could not harbor any illusions about him. "In that case, let those who survived exit this game."


    The God of Equilibrium''srge hand descended, and the scales began to tip toward Nash.


    "Oh? The scales actually agree with your wish. It seems everything is indeed as foretold. Nash Calcraft, I will remember you. I wonder what surprises will you bring me in the years toe?" the God of Equilibrium mused. Then, with a wave of his hand, Nash vanished. "Alright, now what is your wish?" the God of Equilibrium asked.


    Sven sat up from the scales. "What happened?"


    He still did not fully understand what had happened to him, but he had heard Nash''s wish while he was unconscious. Since that was the case, he knew he had to fulfill his promise to the old beggar. "Please return Val''s spirit," Sven requested.


    The scales tilted toward Sven once more. The God of Equilibrium fulfilled his wish, transforming Val''s spiritual energy into a gem and handing it to Sven. With all wishes granted, the God of Equilibrium''s eyes closed once again.


    Both men found themselves back at the summit of the snowy mountain. When the God of Equilibrium noticed the shattered barrier, he casually broke it down even further before turning his attention to a pile of intact barriers nearby. Picking up two, which looked like ss balls, he resumed his game as if nothing had happened.


    ...


    Nash and Sven reunited at the summit of the snowy mountain. Nash was astonished to see Sven alive before him but quickly surmised that he must have had onest breath in him before he made his wish. "Who is this?" Sven asked as his gaze fixed on Talroth.


    "This is my friend. And you, Sven, what are your ns now?" Nash asked in return.


    "I don''t know. I need to go back first. Nash, have you heard of the Illuminion?"novelbin


    Nash was immediately on his guard at the mention of the Illuminion.


    "Are you a member of the Illuminion?" Nash asked warily.


    "No, no, rx," Sven replied. He then detailed his experiences to Nash who learned for the first time about the existence of resistance organizations abroad.

    After exchanging contact information, they agreed to work together to destroy the Illuminion''s evil ns. Sven then began his descent down the mountain. "Was it sessful?" Talroth asked suddenly.


    "Yes, it was. The two gems inside me are now in aplementary bnce. Future breakthroughs should be much easier now. By the way, how long was I gone?" Nash responded.  en


    "One day," Talroth replied.


    "I see."


    The two then left the summit of the snowy mountain.


    In an ancient castle, Jake''s figure staggered as he entered the hall. There were 11 figures of varying shapes and sizes, all dressed in white robes, currently inside


    "Do you know how long you''ve been gone?" the person in the center asked Jake.


    Jake smirked. "A week? About that long. What''s the matter? The Illuminion can''t function without me?"
