BJ Villainess Chapter 328

Seeing Hardy murmur faintly, I suddenly realized how heavy and overwhelming the blind devotion a creation feels toward its creator could be. He still longed for and mourned Frea. Unless a creation is cursed from the start, like Ozworld, to be incapable of loving others, they would forever love and long for their creator. It felt like a stone was weighing on my heart. Not being able to love someone is a terrible thing, but being destined to love one’s creator is a curse as well.

 

I had once wanted to be loved by everyone. That’s why I created Libby. But not anymore. I now understood that I could be loved by others without being some kind of creator figure. So, I wanted to break this cursed cycle. I wanted to give my male protagonists their freedom, not by forcibly cutting off their emotions and telling them not to love me but by letting them love someone out of their own free will.

 

At that moment, the rings around me reappeared, glowing softly as if comforting me. Hardy smiled gently at the sight of the rings.

 

[“That’s your world.”]

 

“My world?”

 

[“Yes. Not the world Ozworld created, but the world you made. That world is inside you.”]

 

The core, unlike holy power or magic, manifested its abilities in accordance with the user’s individuality. My personal trait seemed to be ‘creation.’ The magical plants that grew on Planet Signio were likely a result of this trait. I would need to use this power more intentionally to fully understand it.

 

“Do you think I can face Ozworld?”

 

[“No one can say for sure. He’s a monster.”]

 

I felt the same.

 

[“Ozworld has an extraordinary sense for manipulating time. Not because he obtained Frea’s pocket watch, but because he was naturally talented.”]

 

Hardy revealed Ozworld’s secret nickname to me.

 

[“He’s a wish collector.”]

 

As soon as I heard that, something came to mind. “Kike and Benito. The dragon twins—they could grant wishes.” They offered to grant mine if I became the bride of the dragon.

 

[“Ozworld has molded the world with time and wishes. But it wasn’t foolproof, so the Pantheon kept adding new rules.”]

 

Then, when even Ozworld, who had a knack for finding loopholes or blatantly breaking the rules and paying fines, reached the point where he could no longer act freely, he met me.

 

[“Ozworld couldn’t keep doing whatever he wanted forever. Our alliance has been waiting for the day when Ozworld would reach the point of no return.”]

 

A self-deprecating smile formed on my lips. Yes, nothing could truly be undone. The only one who didn’t know that was Ozworld.

 

Then, Hardy moved as if checking something and looked at me. I instinctively realized that he was about to leave.

 

[“This will be the last time we meet like this.”]

 

It didn’t seem like he was just referring to meeting through the old television screen.

 

“What do you mean? What are you planning to do?”

 

[“It means we won’t have time to meet like this because we’ll be busy.”]

 

That’s a lie. I suddenly reconsidered why Hardy hadn’t thought about his life after killing Ozworld. Could it be because he knew it wouldn’t be possible?

 

[“Thank you, Theresa.”]

 

He called me Theresa instead of Shin Jiwoo, as he always had, and waved his hand.

 

“What are you planning to do?”

 

He answered my question with this:

 

[“I hope you become the protagonist of a story where you live happily ever after.”]

 

Tuk. The screen turned off.

 

39. Demon God

I opened my eyes as if waking from a nightmare. As the light that had engulfed me before meeting Hardy faded and my vision returned, the first thing I did was look for Clyde.

 

Is the Victims’ Alliance determined to end things with Ozworld even if it means their annihilation?

 

Clyde had already sought out Planet Signio to confront his past, fully prepared to be annihilated. But now, there was no trace of him. It was as if Clyde didn’t exist at all.

 

“What’s going on?”

 

I frowned, trying to find someone else, when I suddenly noticed that the surrounding scenery was strange.

 

“Where am I?”

 

No matter how I looked at it, this didn’t seem like a place I knew. The architecture in the distance and the surrounding landscape reminded me of a time long before the medieval era. It felt like…

 

“Rome?”

 

The massive stone buildings looked just like the Roman Empire.

 

“The location is definitely within the Rapshia Empire… Oh no, did I end up in another time period?”

 

Just then, a quest window appeared.

 

Ding!

[Quest: Return to <God’s Play> completed]

▸Reward: Current Television

※Say “Claim” to receive the Mirror of Time in front of the BJ.

 

Seeing the quest completion confirmed that I had intended to return to the <God’s Play>.

 

“How far back in the past did I end up?”

 

As I looked around, I noticed that the black butterfly was nowhere to be seen. It was strange that the black butterfly, which had been following Clyde’s control, had suddenly returned to me, but the weirdest part was the voice. The black butterfly had spoken. And it used my voice.

 

It wasn’t just a hallucination.

 

Ding!

 

As I pondered this, the notification sound snapped me out of my thoughts, and I checked the system window.

 

[Blocking access to a server connected through an abnormal route.]

 

“Is the original broadcast about to reconnect?”

 

The system window kept updating, confirming my guess.

 

[…Searching for a new server…]

[…Connecting…]

[Broadcast starting.]

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Haha Boss’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[Huh? The broadcast is on!]

 

The constellations, who must have been waiting, sent in a flood of donations.

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Born From Theresa’s Heart’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[I knew you’d come backㅠㅠㅠㅠ.]

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘If You Like It, Sound the Siren’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!]

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘I Only Wander Around Top 10 Channels’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[Where is this place? I’ve never seen this place before.]

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Rofan-Addicted Young Lady’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[You’re wearing unique clothes. There were speculations that you fell into another dimension, and it seems they were right.]

 

These were all familiar constellations.

 

I waved my hand in the air like a professional BJ. “It’s been a while, everyone.”

 

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

 

The overwhelming notification sounded like a chorus of cheers. The constellations were indeed very happy. Well… not all of them.

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Boycott Ozworld’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[Pantheon is a mess because of Ozworld, and who in their right mind is consuming this broadcast?]

 

Sounds like there’s chaos in the Pantheon. No surprise there. The constellations wouldn’t just sit back and let someone who can manipulate time unnoticed continue unchecked. And the Victims’ Union wouldn’t miss this opportunity either.

 

“I’ve just returned from being inside a broadcast that existed in the early days of the Pantheon.”

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Over Immersed Otaku’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[So you got sucked into space-time and ended up in a different timeline ㅠㅠ. I wish we could have seen that broadcast too.]

 

“I did broadcast there as well. For the constellations of that era.”

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘I Hate Romance’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[There probably aren’t many constellations from the early Pantheon still around.]

 

“Even if they are, their nicknames and ways of speaking would be so different from now that I wouldn’t recognize them.”

 

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Lawful Good’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[When the flow of time aligns, everyone will remember the events of the past.]

 

Aligning the flow of time? I sort of understood, but it was still a bit unclear. In any case…

 

“I don’t know what the ‘Current Television’ is, but I’ll claim the reward first. Claim.”

 

As soon as I said ‘Claim,’ a small television, the size of a palm, appeared in front of me. It was a simple device with only an on/off dial, so I immediately turned it on. The screen displayed an explanation.

 

[‘Current Television’ User Manual]

When powered on, the television will display the current situation in <God’s Play> for 10 minutes. The device will automatically be discarded after use.

 

After reading the item’s user manual, I felt certain. “So, this means I’ve definitely traveled back in time, long before the game began.”

 

The user manual disappeared, and the screen on the Current Television changed. But no matter how long I waited, the screen remained completely white, with nothing visible.

 

“What is this? The whole 10 minutes will go by like this. How could they give this as a reward?”

 

Then I noticed something moving on the white screen.

 

“Father and Giuseppe.”

 

Seeing my beloved family made my eyes well up with tears.
