God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 146

98. Banquet of the Gods, Elysium (1)

As always, the condition for clearing the main quest of the Great Calamity is to ‘kill all enemies.’

Not only the elves around Sonae Island, but also all the elves in Korea and all over the world were killed.

Of course, in other regions there weren’t many high elves, let alone elders.

Korea is said to have finished the latest.

Sihyeon expected it.

The elves would have pushed their troops to the ‘limit of their power’ in order to secure the World Tree.

‘Still, you blocked it well.’

Of course, there were quite a few destroyed buildings and such.

Still, this level of sacrifice and damage was worth it.

‘… … Someday, I will be able to protect everyone.’

[Successfully overcame the twentieth disaster.]

[We have successfully overcome the catastrophe!]

[After the twentieth plague, the ‘Feast of the Gods’ begins.]

This catastrophe is the 20th catastrophe.

The quest did not proceed because it was a catastrophe that ended in ‘0’.

instead.

[The heroes invited the fallen demon ‘Lee Si-Hyeon’ to the ‘Banquet of the Gods’.]

[If you decline the ‘Feast of the Gods’, all experience, proficiency, and point gains will be reduced by 60% until the next catastrophe.]

Just like when the tenth Predator ended.

This time, the banquet of the gods was held again.

That place is none other than.

Elysium.

A place that only ‘heroes’ who have a connection to the gods, have acquired royal status, or have had great powers while alive can go to.

It was the afterlife ruled by Hades, right next to Tartarus and Styx.

‘A lot of fun things will happen.’

In fact, there were many things that involved Sihyeon there.

The archangels of Eden, including Michael and Ramiel, were still trying to kill Sihyeon.

Sariel wanted to avoid their eyes and make contact with Shihyeon.

There was also the matter with Hera, where a deal had been made but no progress had been made yet.

It was also unknown how the gods of Asgard would react when they found out that Sihyeon was imprisoning T.R.P.

“Okay. I will accept your invitation.”

[Move to ‘Elysium’.]

‘long time no see.’

The place Sihyeon finally arrived at was a plain with a hazy fog flowing through it.

There were ancient Greek buildings made of white bricks everywhere.

A great number of people gathered on the plain, and various spirits wandered around, mingling with the fog.

[Warning! This is Elysium.]

[Due to the power of the ruler of Elysium, ‘????’, all stats of all players and kings are fixed to 20.]

[Due to the power of the ruler of Elysium, ‘????’, all players and kings cannot use existing item effects.]

Papa Pot!

With a strong warning message.

The items that Sihyeon had were all lost.

‘indeed…….’

Consider the power that the ruler of Elysium possesses.

He is also an ‘absolute god’.

Among them, he was a god known to be particularly powerful.

Hoooow… … .

The wind blew, and the various crops on the plain, especially the golden rice, swayed.

‘I have to do something like this when I come here.’

Sihyeon stretched out his hand towards the golden rice fields.

Fight.

The one-handed sword, gladius, that had been hidden inside popped out.

It had a different appearance from the Cheonjongun Sword that had been used for a long time.

It was pretty usable.

Clang… Clang… Clang.

Sihyeon, who was holding the gladius as if snatching it, put down the Cheonjongun Sword.

“Oh. What is it?”

“You’re handling it very familiarly?”

“Have you ever been here before?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. This is a place you can only come to after you die.”

In an action that is like a stunt.

The attention of numerous players was focused on Sihyeon.

But that was only for a moment.

Chorrrrrr!

Starting with a few players, almost all players were able to equip weapons that were familiar to them among the golden rice.

‘Well. I’ve used a lot of items, so there’s no point in using any more.’

Seeing players using new or previously unused weapons.

Sihyeon chuckled.

[A total of 100 heroes attended.]

[Please wait a moment! The event will start soon.]

The number of players participating this time has doubled compared to the previous Valhalla.

“Oh? See you again?”

“That’s right. What is the current situation in India?”

“Ha… … My head hurts. A lot of people died this time too. How about Egypt?”

“Here too… … .”

“America… … .”

“China… … Japan too… … And now that I think about it, Russia too… … .”

Players were broadly divided into two types.

A group of players who compete against each other while equipped with weapons.

Or maybe it was a group that started to get to know each other.

Neither one was bad.

I also understood the desire to test one’s own strength.

It’s clear that the area is expanding, so it makes sense that they’re keeping their faces open for the future.

‘Hmm… … .’

But Sihyeon was looking for someone else.

Loki, the god of mischief.

I don’t know what method he used or what his purpose was, but he was the one who caused his regression.

There were many things I wanted to ask him.

‘It seems that Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva did not cause me to regress alone, since they seem to remember the past.’

In Valhalla, you wouldn’t be able to talk to Sihyeon because of Odin’s gaze.

Even in Elysium, a world beyond the sight of Odin, who sat on the Hlidskalp, it was impossible for him to remain still.

Loki, that guy.

‘shit……!’

But among the hazy mist and spirits, the familiar images of several gods were projected.

Loki was nowhere to be seen.

‘Where are you hiding and watching me?’

When I was looking for Loki with my gladius in hand.

Tzuzuzu, that is.

Someone’s aura covered the entire Elysium.

“This, this is… … ?”

“This energy… … .”

Tzuzuzu, that is.

A darkness that felt cold to the touch covered all directions.

Darkness spread out, similar to the ‘curtain of night’ that Sihyeon had.

Soon, the whole of Elysium was covered in night.

The cool breeze became a cold, sharp wind.

The brilliant sunlight disappeared, and only an ominous aura filled the room.

death.

It was literally the breath of death.

[Hello, how are you?]

A pale-skinned handsome man appeared from the middle of the darkness and looked at the players and spoke.

His expression and speech were cold and dry, like a machine.

With the black robes and the giant scythe, the aura emanating from the surroundings.

Some players were able to guess his identity.

Of course, Sihyeon knew who he was.

God of Death.

Thanatos.

A god who symbolizes ‘death’ itself.

As a god of death, he possessed extremely strong powers.

Swish.

‘me?’

Thanatos glanced at Sihyeon for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twisted.

‘There’s no contact with me yet, right?’

But because the guy didn’t pretend to know anymore.

Sihyeon just looked at him without saying anything.

[The event will now begin.]

[Event, is in progress.]

Objective: Win a one-on-one battle.

Reward: Level +2

*This is the reward you get when you win for the first time.

Additional Rewards: If you win consecutively, you will receive additional rewards. (Up to 5 times.)

*After winning 5 times, you can meet the god of your choice.

If failed: Death.

*Don’t worry! In Elysium, if you die, you will be resurrected.

Nothing changed when I won the event.

[There’s a lot to do, so do it quickly.]

Unlike Heimdall, who was bright and cheerful and enjoyed the battle itself.

Thanatos simply threw his scythe at the players without any emotion.

Sssssss.

[You are first.]

A scythe flew and fell in front of someone.

A handsome man with long hair tied back.

It was Jongcheon.

“The King of Corruption. I would like to ask for a favor from the Lee Si-Hyeon clan.”

“Lee Si-Hyeon?”

“Who is that?”

“Don’t you know? What country are you from?”

A lot of talk.

The players were in an uproar.

From their perspective, it was a natural thing to do.

‘I guess so.’

Sihyeon smiled bitterly at the sight.

I heard you made it into the top 10 in the last .

Looking at the world, Sihyeon was not that famous.

No matter how much activity there is, it is only a story within the Korean peninsula, and only in South Korea.

This place belongs to a country that does not receive the care of the gods.

Compared to countries like the United States, China, India, and Egypt, where the gods pay attention and information exchange is smooth, they did not receive much attention.

But China, one of the most powerful countries, and even there, Zhong Tian, ​​one of the most powerful, pointed out an unknown player.

The other players were surprised.

‘Why is that guy useless…?’

I could guess the reason.

‘Is it because we lost last time?’

Non-glossy.

Before returning, it was the nickname Sihyeon gave to Jongcheon.

That’s how much the guy liked to confront each other with swords or by comparing each other’s strength and abilities.

‘Well. It can’t hurt to get to know each other in advance.’

Of course, the meaning of ‘becoming close’ to Jongcheon was different from that of other players.

‘I guess I have to trust that guy anyway so he can save me.’

Slurp.

Lifting the gladius I had just obtained.

Sihyeon got up from her seat.

“Yeah. Jongcheon.”

Shh.

“Let’s get some.”

And so the scythe of Thanatos returned.

All players have been matched with an opponent.

“Kuuuu… … I was going to fight that guy. What a pity.”

Adam, who seemed to have lost more muscle mass than last time, looked at Sihyeon and smacked his lips.

“Your opponent is me.”

“you?”

Sigh.

“You’re not even worth a fist.”

Kwaaaaang!

Adam just threw one punch.

The knight armor of the British player in front of him became warped.

His chest burst and he died.

[Congratulations! You’ve taken down your opponent first.]

[Get additional rewards.]

[You can nominate the next opponent if you wish.]

[*However, only the winner can be nominated.]

“Yeah. Those two.”

Thinking back to when we met in Valhalla last time.

Adam looked at Sihyeon and Jongcheon with his arms crossed.

“Let’s see how strong those two are?”

“Please give me a favor.”

“OK.”

“… … ?”

“You ask me to do it, so I will accept.”

“… … Your Majesty, you are a bit arrogant.”

Srrrrung… … .

Jongcheon drew his sword.

The weapon he was equipped with was also a sword that was in Elysium.

It was the same gladius as Sihyeon.

“Then I will go.”

[Warning! Yin and yang energy is gathering.]

[Warning! The yin and yang energies are in harmony.]

Jongcheon’s two eyes began to flash, each filled with only white and black.

The yin and yang energies came together at the same time, and the Taegeuk pattern flashed.

The power gathered in the sword and was shot straight at Sihyeon.

‘Yeah. I don’t know about anything else here, but I could use skills.’

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth when she saw that sight.

[Activates skill, ‘Unclean Cloud (A)’.]

[Activates skill, ‘Lightning Tier (S)’.]

[Activates skill, ‘Unfair Judgement (A)’.]

Ominous clouds spread around Sihyeon.

Golden and black sparks rose into it.

This was all there was to it since Sihyeon didn’t invest much in attack skills.

This much was enough for the current Jongcheon.

Jeeeeeek!

The sword of Jongcheon and the sword of Sihyeon, which contain the two energies of yin and yang, collide.

Soon the sound of a bell ringing filled the air.

[oh…….]

[That’s definitely… .]

The gods hidden in the mists of Elysium muttered.

Although the appearance and general appearance were covered up.

I couldn’t hide my eyes sparkling with surprise.

[surely…….]

[I was keeping an eye on it because it said that they took the items of the absolute gods.]

[It’s much more powerful than I thought.]

[To the point where he can compete with that genius from China even without any items… … .]

And among those gods.

A god was laughing heartily, freely changing his appearance.

‘Even if Jongcheon is a little bit stronger in China… … it’s still not enough to defeat the regressor. Especially if that regressor is the strongest human. Hehehehe… … The points are all mine! As expected. It was a good decision to bet all my fortune!’

And then.

Kwaaang!

With a loud noise, Sihyeon’s body fell far away.

[Hey! Get up! Inma!]

At that thrilling scene, Loki unknowingly jumped out of the fog and shouted.
