Episode 111
Hathor’s death, burning building.
Even though two days had passed, everything was full of that story, whether it was TV, the Internet, or newspapers.
-Hathor, the Egyptian god of love, has died. During the battle, a fire broke out in a building in Seoul… .
-In the video released by Sekhmet, Hathor states that she would willingly slaughter other people in order to resurrect Horus… .
-Kim Do-jin, who killed Hathor, was mentioned by Lee Hyeon earlier… .
-Kim Do-jin evacuated the civilians who remained in the building after the battle with Hathor, and thanks to this, there were no casualties… .
The stock prices of companies related to Hathor fell, and some people had cracks in their trust in the Egyptian gods.
-The video of God Hathor that Sekhmet said was shown, wasn’t it a manipulated video?
-I don’t know the crystal ball video? That’s the only thing in the world that can’t be manipulated, so what about manipulation?
-No one knows that Sekhmet has a different personality from Hathor, and she may have been dressed up.
-Fuck, that doesn’t make any more sense. How do you impersonate God?
-Putting all that aside, isn’t it absurd that humans killed God? Isn’t it a fact that God is protecting us now?
-Turn off part-time commenting. How many battlefields are there these days where God himself appears?
-Isn’t the Abyss actually over now? There are almost no new Abyss that have been created recently.
Public opinion was split in half.
The story goes that Hathor deserved to die.
Still, the person who killed Hathor must be punished.
Sekhmet later released the video as well as data on various incidents committed by Hathor to the media.
It was a video recording of not only killing other guild members within the Abyss, but also escaping by baiting them.
-I, Sekhmet, will help those of you who have false beliefs to follow the right path.
The fact that public opinion is divided despite the evidence of various corruptions and massacres committed by Hathor probably means that the god has great significance in this world.
If it weren’t for Sekhmet’s help, everyone would probably have pointed the finger at me for killing Hathor, calling me a traitor to humanity.
Because of this incident, Sekhmet’s name became even more famous.
By announcing the truth about Hathor wearing a mask, he focused all attention on himself.
Perhaps as her enemies increase, the number of people who believe in her will also increase.
Naturally, it will lead to the strengthening of Godhead.
‘I will become stronger.’
This incident made me realize it again.
I need strength.
Not my personal powerlessness, but a different kind of power that can help me.
The power to move public opinion like Sekhmet.
And I know the god who is best at it at this point.
An icon of the gods with numerous followers.
Rocky.
He was a god who could use public opinion better than anyone else, being able to exert god-level power with just four apostles.
But what I needed wasn’t Loki’s power.
‘The one who will become his fifth apostle in the future.’
When he had no powers, he was an apostle who attracted Loki’s interest and received his blessing.
I planned to first intercept a human who would become Loki’s apostle in the future.
So far, it seemed like I, a human, was caught up in the conflict between the gods.
Ares and Hephaestus.
Zeus and Athena.
Hathor and Sekhmet.
This was the extent of what was revealed in the media.
Hel of Hades and Niflheim.
Fenrir and Elfheim.
It was also a painting in which I was caught in the middle of a conflict between mythical beings.
Currently, the relationship between humanity and God is between protector and protected.
Because the power structure was so rigid, humans could not even think of fighting with gods.
It would be difficult if it continued like this forever.
In that case, until the end, the person named Kim Do-jin will just be a fuss between mythical beings.
‘We must show that humanity can protect itself without the help of the gods.’
Only then can other people’s perceptions change.
However, there is a problem with the current guild system.
No matter how strong an apostle is, in the end, they are those who received power as a gift from God.
Even if their thoughts changed, a proper fight was impossible while they were ultimately subordinate to God.
‘Then how?’
All you have to do is change the recipient of the gift of power.
As a being other than God.
My eyes turned to Lee Su-yeon.
She gained strength in other ways, and she gained strength through walking with me and recording her stories.
The 8th story has been completed by killing Hathor, and now, as long as you write down the remaining two, you will be able to receive new rewards that are still marked with question marks.
‘I’m looking for people like Lee Soo-yeon who can become strong in a different way.’
Among those who will become powerful apostles in the future, I will first intercept those who have not yet been blessed by God.
However, no clear conclusion has yet been reached on the question of how to awaken them.
‘Just like Sooyeon Lee, there must be a trigger.’
So the idea was to find someone who would become Loki’s apostle in the future.
Because his apostles are treated as more irregular than anyone else in this world.
‘There may definitely be some clues from her.’
Of course, this was my personal wish.
“Suyeon.”
“Yes, Mr. Dojin.”
“The stories I succeeded but could not complete, can I complete them now?”
“It will be possible. But most of them are things I haven’t seen in person, so the rating will probably go down for sure.”
“Is that so.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“I thought it would be a good idea to fill the entire quota during this expedition.”
“all right.”
Suyeon Lee nodded and asked me.
“But where are we going?”
“I’m going to Daejeon.”
There is the person I am looking for.
* * *
-Abyss… .
-It’s Abyss.
Fenrir and Jormungand muttered almost simultaneously as they looked at the Abyss flickering before their eyes.
“Are you dissatisfied?”
-It’s not like that. Of course it’s nothing bad. But I thought the benefactor had come to hunt another god.
-I think the same thing.
“I don’t always hunt gods.”
-So, what should we do?
“It’s simple. We will subdue that Abyss.”
I pointed inside the Abyss.
-Can I go in right now?
“no.”
I shook my head.
I wanted to attack right away, but it was still too early to attack.
It wasn’t because the Abyss wasn’t fully open.
The person who was supposed to be there was not yet visible.
A small abyss where not even monsters have popped out yet.
However, a month later, this small Abyss becomes a huge Abyss and spits out numerous monsters.
A disaster that will befall Daejeon.
This is an illusion.
An alien god who has been tormenting humanity for a long time by causing hallucinations and illusions and manipulating not only humans but also animals.
No matter how many times the Abyss was subdued, the main body of Illusion could not be properly subdued, causing annoyance to humanity almost until the very end.
The first Abyss that started such an illusion was the Abyss called the disaster of Daejeon.
And the person who prevented the disaster was not a believer with great power or apostles gathered with determination, but an ordinary woman.
‘Weren’t you here at this time?’
I looked around for a while.
However, no one was seen visiting the deserted vacant lot.
“It looks like you’re waiting for someone.”
I nodded to Suyeon Lee’s question.
“you’re right.”
“Who is it? “Are we getting help from other gods like last time?”
I shook my head.
“no. “This time I will not receive help from any other god.”
“uh? “Then are the apostles coming?”
“Not even that.”
“Then who is it… ?”
It was when Lee Su-yeon shook her head as if she had no idea.
“Who are you there?”
Near the Abyss, a woman dressed as a nun approached us.
The woman had her hands clasped together with her eyes closed, her beautiful blonde hair flowing.
Although she was wearing a nun’s uniform, the necklace around her neck had a symbol like an eye at the end instead of a cross.
But it was neither the Eye of Horus nor the Eye of Ra.
She was holding a symbol that we had never seen before, and she was watching us with her eyes closed.
Even though she was covered in silky blonde hair, white and soft skin, and a nun’s robe, her exotic aura particularly caught my attention.
What came out of the mouth of the woman, who could be guessed at a glance that she was a foreigner, was clearly fluent in Korean.
“This is a dangerous area. Hurry and get out of here. “If you stay for a long time, we cannot guarantee your safety.”
A blonde woman with closed eyes spoke to us.
‘found.’
As expected, it has been here since this time.
That blonde woman in a nun’s uniform was the person I was looking for.
In the future, Julia becomes Loki’s fifth apostle.
Although she looked like a foreigner on the outside, she was a Korean born and raised in Korea.
She was also a woman who would later be called the saint who prevented the disaster of Daejeon.
“This is the Abyss established by Illusion, the god of this world. Entry by the general public is prohibited, so come on… .”
I took a step closer to her.
Then, he lightly held her hand as she held both hands together.
She didn’t respond to my approach, but as soon as I held her hand, she looked back at me in surprise.
“Nice to meet you, Sister.”
“… Who are you, brother? I don’t know who you are, but please get out of here. And it’s troubling for you to act so suddenly.”
Her head as she scolded me strangely did not match.
It’s as if you can’t see in front of you.
“Sorry for the rudeness. However, because I didn’t have time, I had no choice but to make myself known.”
“… … .”
‘A blind saint who cannot see.’
A person who has the ability to help others maintain their sanity even in that terrible Abyss.
In his previous life, he was the one who briefly prevented the invasion of Illusion and the inhabitants of the other world that had been contaminated by him.
Even though he did not receive any blessings from other gods.
Thanks to her help, the army of the gods was able to arrive before Daejeon became truly dangerous.
Later, some people called her a saint or a guardian spirit.
Loki, who noticed her activities, made her his fifth apostle.
And I came all this way to get the woman who would become Loki’s fifth apostle on my side.
“I came to help you, Sister.”
“You came to help me?”
“yes.”
“Who are you, brother?”
“My name is Kim Do-jin.”
“seaweed… Dojin?”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know.”
Confusion spread across Julia’s face.
