Episode 104
Zeus.
Goddess of Greek mythology.
God of lightning.
A rare libertine.
They were all referring to Zeus.
There are many negative perceptions, but one thing is certain.
That he is the main god, the strongest class of gods.
Qarring!
The thunderbolt he struck struck down all the monsters, no matter how many they were.
There was a belief that no matter how powerful the god of the other world descended, if Zeus was there, he would never be defeated.
Zeus’s presence in the Abyss was stronger than anyone else’s.
On that day, Zeus, true to his reputation, was attacking Zetsubo, one of the worst Abyss.
-Keeeeee!
A land filled with the cries of beings that only scream despair.
Originally, the inhabitants of this world were eaten by Zetsubo, the god of despair, and became his followers.
Monsters with horrible appearances with their entire bodies twisted.
An unpleasant-looking flesh golem created by numerous beings tangled into one.
Wandering ghosts whose appearance as well as their souls have become disorganized.
Zeus saw Zetsubo, the gigantic god of the other world who had created such a tragedy.
On the outside, it looked like a giant earthworm with many tangled tentacles, but if you looked closely, the space between the tentacles was filled with the despairing faces of many people who had been swallowed by that monster.
“It’s really disgusting just to look at it.”
The breath that Zetsubo exhales sucks the life force of the living.
It is said that just looking at Zetsubo’s appearance will give you nightmares for the rest of your life.
How many people died to properly understand the inside of this Abyss.
Zeus sighed.
“I can’t believe so many guild members died just because of something like this… . “It’s still far from enough.”
The sigh that Zeus let out was not for mourning the dead or because he felt sorry for them.
Contempt for weakness.
“You are so weak.”
In order to find the monster that was nothing but hideous, many humans who had put effort into raising it died.
The apostle whom I loved was seriously injured and was on the brink of death.
There were many Abyss to conquer in the future, and even more gods from other worlds would come to this world.
But I can’t believe I had to suffer so much damage just to attack one Abyss like this.
“Whew, it will take a long time to overcome the tasks and trials given to us like this.”
Zeus said in a gloomy voice.
Not being able to overcome the trials given to them.
That was why he was saddened by their deaths.
Because human life is not important to God, a transcendent being.
Squeeze!
His eyes lit up and he waved his hand, and lightning struck.
The lightning created without clouds struck down Zetsubo, the god of despair.
-Gooooooo!!!
The god of the other world, who had a huge body, was pierced by Zeus’ lightning.
One hole, two, three… . There were more and more of them, and the more they did, the more desperately the giant monster wriggled.
His creatures went into an uproar as if they were struggling at the fact that their god was being attacked.
Due to the increasingly harsh resistance, the damage to humans also increased.
“Kwaaaak!”
But Zeus didn’t look there at all.
The reason they die is because they are weak.
He only dominates and rules over humans.
There was nothing to be gained from clumsy sympathy.
Haven’t you already experienced it?
What happened to the people they cared for in the end?
They betrayed themselves and created a human-only era.
Hasty sympathy meant the end of God’s authority.
So I will rule with even greater fear.
This was why Zeus valued the authority of the gods.
All the way.
Grumble!
Zetsubo, the god of another world, was completely burned and stopped moving.
He and all creatures stopped moving.
Cough!
The guild members who were looking at the collapsed god of the other world cheered.
It wasn’t just Zeus’ guild members.
The guild members of various gods who participated in the expedition also chanted Zeus’ name.
“Long live Zeus!”
“I won!”
“We stopped it!”
Zeus saw humans who were so weak that they barely had any strength.
‘It did help.’
It served as a breakwater that briefly blocked those monsters until he used his power.
But that alone wasn’t enough.
What Zeus wants is a stronger army than this.
It did not distinguish between humans and gods.
No matter how strong one is, if the human army that supports him is weak, the fight against the gods of this world will end in defeat.
Zeus ruled his guild members with fear and wanted them to become a perfect army that would only follow his orders.
And it was already being largely successful.
Look at their eyes, drunk with victory.
The sorrow for the dead was short-lived. Rather, they were enjoying the joy that came from surviving.
“Everyone worked hard. Now that the adversity is over, it’s time for me to take everything this place has to offer. “All the skills and items here are yours.”
“Waaah!”
The shouts of victory covered the faint remaining fear of the battlefield.
Now, all the rewards from the Abyss will go to those who survived.
Humans are greedy creatures.
They are completely loyal to anything that satisfies their desires.
‘But don’t let your head get too big either.’
If that happens, you will have different thoughts.
So, I always had to show off my dominance.
Overwhelming fear.
Absolute status.
That was the reason why Zeus was so obsessed with the status of god.
For control.
There was a human image flying towards Zeus.
“Lord Zeus!”
It was Hermes, the god of messengers.
One of the gods who makes the most money in the world through delivery, courier, and delivery-related businesses.
If Zeus ruled mankind with authority, Hermes was a powerful god who was said to rule mankind with money and information.
His face, with his short blonde hair fluttering, was paler than ever.
“What’s going on, why are you coming here with such a grumpy face?”
“I have some news for you!”
Hermes, who noticed his surroundings, lowered his voice and said.
“The news is that Ares has died.”
“what? To whom.”
“… “I am human.”
“… … .”
Zeus’s brow furrowed at the unbelievable news.
God, and even Ares, died to humans?
To the humans below who are just shouting in gratitude?
“Who is it?”
“He is the one who killed Hephaestus.”
“… “There is no lie in those words, right?”
“yes. “The testimony of Ares Guild survivors will soon be broadcast live on TV.”
Not only was the person who killed Ares a human, but he was also the person who killed Hephaestus earlier?
“Ares, you incompetent bastard.”
“And it is said that Athena helped humans on the battlefield together.”
“… “Athena?”
“yes.”
“He helped kill his brother… ?”
Zeus gritted his teeth.
Zeus believed that gods who shared the same prestige would become stronger through competition.
It was a completely different approach from the Egyptian god Ra, who said that if you only had one name, nothing would happen.
But gods of the same prestige are wielding swords against each other!
Also to my brother.
“I will go back first. “I need to check what’s going on.”
Zeus even heard the news that the name of the human who killed Ares was Dojin, and that he was using Jormungand and Fenrir as his familiars.
And now.
“Are you Dojin?”
He cut through the lightning and descended in front of Kim Do-jin.
‘Ordinary human being.’
But it was difficult to look down on it.
I don’t know what method he used, but he is a human who killed God.
* * *
Goosebumps appeared on my skin from the intimidation of Zeus.
My fur stood up, and my body trembled without realizing it.
Just encountering his presence made my heart pound.
‘also… . strong.’
It wasn’t called Lord for nothing.
The head of a large guild that leads tens of thousands of guild members, and the last protective wall of humanity.
Zeus stared at me for a long time before opening his mouth.
“Why did you kill my sons?”
I was secretly surprised by the first words Zeus spoke as he appeared with lightning.
‘I thought of course you would be angry.’
But his first words were very calm.
Why did he kill his own sons?
Those weren’t just words spewed at me in anger.
Pure question.
And I knew the answer Zeus would like best.
“Because I deserved to die.”
“My son deserved to die? “Do you have any personal grudges?”
“no.”
“Then why do you think it was worth dying for?”
“Because I’m weak.”
“what?”
Zeus’s brow furrowed.
“Are you saying Ares died because he was weak?”
“okay. I was strong, Ares was weak. There is no reason other than that, right? “This is also true of Hephaestus.”
Zeus, looking at me, twisted his lips.
“You say something interesting. Then, if I kill you… .”
“Wow!”
Zeus, who was holding my breath, glared at me with burning eyes.
“You will die because you are weak like my son.”
I thought I knew why Zeus’ expression was so calm.
He is not angry that his child died.
He was angry at his child’s incompetence.
Anger at the fact that the Greek gods Ares and Hephaestus were killed by humans who could easily be caught by twisting their necks.
I just grabbed my neck and couldn’t breathe at all.
“Hehe… Ugh! Lord, I can kill you… “There won’t be any, girl?”
“what?”
at that time.
The symbol of Loki engraved on the forehead of Jormungandr, who was standing behind me.
The symbol that drove Hades out of Niflheim was shining again.
Squeeze!
“What is this…?” ?”
Zeus’s brow furrowed as he saw the symbol of Jormungand shining.
“Loki… ?”
This time it’s not just a threat.
Wooooow!
“No, what on earth triggered it… . uh? what.”
It was used to call the real Loki.
The dimension split and Loki, who had been reading the newspaper in a comfortable position, appeared alone.
A little boy with blond hair who was half-covered on a large sofa, reading a newspaper, saw us.
“Our cute human and Thunder God? “Why are you two together?”
Loki, who had folded the newspaper in half, got up from a sofa that was much larger than his body and approached us.
Slurp.
The opened dimension closed and Loki walked out.
“Can we talk about why the Thunder God is holding my cutie’s neck?”
“… Now I get it. “How could this insignificant human kill the gods?”
Zeus let go.
“Cough! Cough!”
I fell and rolled on the floor.
Meanwhile, Zeus’s anger shifted from me to Loki.
“There was a rat who hid behind humans and secretly worked behind the scenes.”
“What a rat. I feel bad for saying that. I only helped a small part of it. Dojin, isn’t it?”
“okay. I did it all. “It’s safe to say that there was little help from Loki.”
“It really makes me sad to hear that.”
At my words, Zeus’ head turned to me again.
“Are you being arrogant and trusting someone named Loki?”
“Then do you want to look at it?”
Zeus gritted his teeth and glared at me.
“You’re so cocky. Very cocky.”
