Episode 121

“Is this really okay?”

Suyeon Lee, who was leaving the scene next to me, asked me.

“it’s okay. “As long as we have a contract, Rocky won’t mess things up in the middle.”

Before Tyr went to the guest room with Richard, I called Loki.

The deal is that Loki will arrange a meeting with Lee Hyun, so I ask you to meet Tyr and his apostles instead.

Loki must have already been watching me and nodded as if he knew everything.

“I never thought I would be the first to ask for help. “It’s amazing.”

“I’m not asking for help with my bare mouth. “If I told you that I found the culprit who caused the Abyss to run away this time, wouldn’t you be intrigued?”

“who?”

“Thor.”

Loki closed his mouth and lowered the corners of his mouth.

This means that it is a story so serious that even the person who always had a smile on his face lost his smile.

It was not simply because the god of human history forced the Abyss to run away, causing great casualties.

It was because of the meaning that the existence of Thor had for Loki.

In mythology, Thor and Loki were partners and at the same time a huge wall that each had to overcome.

To Thor, Loki was the disaster that caused Ragnarok, and to Loki, Thor was an enemy who must be killed in order to be destroyed.

So it was.

It was rare for Loki to lose his smile.

“Are you sure?”

“You would know because you saw it. Lightning filled this room.”

“That can’t be evidence.”

“This magic stone in my hand can be evidence.”

“… … .”

Loki’s worries were short-lived.

“good. Instead, she should be there too. “If the woman who came in with you suddenly disappears, you’ll get suspicious.”

Just like in his previous life, Loki seemed to be interested in Yulia.

This may be because not only did he overcome the power of illusion alone with a human body, but he also had the ability to find the flow of demonic energy, which was not easy for even gods.

“I’m OK.”

Yulia nodded that it was okay, and Loki was willing to help, on the condition that she also remain at the scene.

“Are you planning on going to find Thor right away?”

“Someday.”

Now that I’ve found the evidence, I need to face it once.

of course.

I knew very well that I was a god that I could not defeat alone.

It is also said that the power of Thor, the god of lightning, is incomparably stronger than that of other gods.

“If it is truly Thor’s work as you said, then the division of the gods that you so desperately want may occur.”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s not the real Thor’s doing.”

“what?”

“The gods are suspicious of each other. “That alone is enough.”

Loki grinned at my words.

“You are just as cunning as me. I really want to become my apostle… .”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Tsk.”

I left the back to Loki, who had crossed through the portal, and quickly left the scene.

While moving to hide, Tyr, led by Richard, was seen heading towards the guest room with the apostles.

“But how did you know that Tyr would come after conquering the Abyss?”

While running outside to avoid the eyes of the Tyr Guild, Lee Su-yeon, who was following behind, asked.

“… A runaway Abyss is generally not complete. Since this was our first attack, there would definitely be some blocked sections, and I was confident that the punitive force would return because of that.”

“… I always feel this, but you seem strangely aware of it. “Isn’t this the first time something like this has happened?”

“… … .”

I didn’t answer.

She didn’t ask any more questions, as if that answered the question.

“There must be a reason. “Please tell me later when you can.”

“Thank you.”

With Loki’s help, we safely escaped Tyr’s Pantheon.

* * *

“But is Thor really the culprit? “No matter how crazy he is about fighting, he probably doesn’t know what it means to awaken the Abyss with his own hands.”

The piece of magic stone in my hand was still pulsing with faint electricity.

In fact, in addition to the magic stone piece handed to Loki, there were several other small magic stone pieces.

I took one of them aside.

On the outside, it is an ordinary magic stone containing lightning, but the Abyss went into overdrive due to this single black magic stone.

Although it has now lost all of its power and has become a magic stone containing weak electricity, it must have originally contained a magic power strong enough to open the Abyss.

“To open the Abyss, a huge energy source is needed. This magic stone must have been the energy source.”

“This little magic stone?”

“yes. “You must have used up your power to open the Abyss, and the remnants left behind are this magic stone.”

This was the method used by the apostates from the previous life during the Second Advent to flood the Abyss in areas lacking demonic energy.

The Abyss that exploded like that called the Second Advent.

If Thor was truly the culprit, this could have been evidence that he was working with apostates.

“… … .”

Lee Su-yeon bit her lip.

“Then what are you going to do? Are you going to go see Thor in person?”

“I don’t have to do it.”

It is Loki’s role to sow suspicion and hostility between the gods.

An unknown magic stone that appeared in Tyr’s Pantheon.

If it is revealed through Loki that it caused the Abyss to explode, Tyr will naturally try to find the real culprit to avoid responsibility.

The three gods who stayed in the guest room.

Thor, Freya, Athena.

They are all gods who have a strong influence not only in each myth, but also in the present world, so they will not fall easily.

Each of the four gods, including Tyr, will claim that they are innocent in this incident.

So, I was thinking of giving this piece of magic stone with the remaining electric power to Athena.

“Athena will take care of it, not me.”

This work reduces Thor’s influence and builds suspicion about him.

Thor will not fall just this once.

Because, unlike the gods he had faced so far, he was a god comparable to the main god.

“Athena would know what to do.”

And while the gods are at odds with each other, I increase my power by attacking the newly opened Abyss.

“I understand what your intention is.”

Suyeon Lee nodded and followed me.

“Then let’s go to the tailor shop. “We will be able to deal with it if we go as quickly as possible.”

“great.”

We headed to Athena’s tailor shop.

Guided by Monos, I entered Athena’s private room.

“What is that ominous piece of stone in your hand?”

Athena immediately noticed the presence of the magic stone in my hand with her sharp eyes.

“Have you stopped by Tyr’s Pantheon recently?”

“… okay. “But what does that have to do with that stone?”

“You may have heard that the Abyss, managed by Tyr’s Pantheon, has run riot.”

“Know. Because of that, we had a hard time sending reinforcements in a hurry. “But what are you saying when you suddenly come here?”

“This is the magic stone found in the guest room in Tyr’s Pantheon.”

“… “Do you want to say that the magic stone awakened the Abyss?”

“yes. That’s right.”

Athena closed her mouth.

Her eyes became fierce.

“Do you think I opened the Abyss?”

“no. “Athena is not the only god who stayed in that guest room.”

“then?”

“Thor, Freya, and Athena. There are three of them. If you include Tyr, the owner of the Pantheon, there are a total of four suspects.”

“Do you want me to find the real culprit?”

“I wish you would, but it won’t be easy.”

“The reason is?”

“Because the real culprit will deny it somehow.”

I took a step closer to Athena.

“Take it. “You may be able to guess who the culprit is.”

Athena’s expression became sharp after receiving the magic stone from me.

“… This.”

“It is a magic stone that retains Thor’s power.”

“The Norse god of lightning is the culprit?”

“yes. “I am sure of that.”

“Hmm, then it won’t be easy. “Because no one would dare disobey him.”

“All you have to do is sow doubt. “Even Thor is not an object worth worshiping.”

“… Are you telling me to shoot another god?”

“yes.”

Athena’s brow furrowed.

“I must make allies to defeat my father, Zeus. But are you asking me to make enemies in this situation?”

“It’s the opposite. “An attack on Thor will actually increase Athena’s allies.”

“what?”

“Many people were killed or injured due to this Abyss explosion. But what if we say that the culprit is Thor, and the one who discovered it is Athena?”

“… … !”

God’s power is directly proportional to people’s faith.

There is no doubt that if trust and respect for Athena come together along with disappointment and doubt about Thor, her power will become stronger.

“And, if you don’t do anything, you’ll end up being a suspect. “Just then, I brought you evidence to prove your innocence and identify the culprit.”

“… It’s carrots and sticks. “You’re wise.”

Athena sighed.

“Aren’t you asking why I went to see Tyr?”

“Isn’t it to know Medusa’s location?”

“… “You look like a ghost.”

“Did you find it?”

“no. “I can’t even see my nose.”

When I saw her shaking her head, I spoke calmly.

“If this job goes well, I will help you.”

“Do you know?”

“There are a few promising spots.”

“good. “I look forward to hearing that.”

Athena finally accepted my offer.

From her point of view, it was a situation she could not refuse.

“… “By any chance, you didn’t do it, right?”

“No way. “Then did you bring any evidence?”

“That’s it.”

I guess I’m suspicious because he’s participated in my schemes before.

I smiled and lowered my head.

“Then, please take care of me.”

I left Athena’s Tailor Shop immediately.

* * *

“Now that the groundwork is done, it’s time to do our own thing.”

“Are you hitting Thor?”

I shook my head.

“We will first attack the Abyss, which is about to explode due to Thor’s neglect of management.”

“Alone?”

“That’s not true. Sooyeon, Fenrir, and Jormungand will be together.”

-What kind of Abyss is it?

I answered Fenrir’s question calmly.

“The Abyss, the god of sloth, where Thor himself crushed and sealed the god of the Abyss.”

-Are you talking about Tongmanga’s Abyss?

“okay.”

Although many gods challenged it, the Abyss was of hopeless difficulty, with no survivors, let alone conquered, until Thor himself subdued it.

-No matter how sealed it is, the power of the Abyss itself is still intact. The monsters are fine too. No matter how much of a benefactor you are… .

“Is it possible.”

-… … .

Fenrir closed his mouth at the confident answer.

-If the benefactor says that, there must be a reason.

“All I can say is please trust me.”

Fenrir nodded at my words.

-What should we do?

Jormungand asked.

I showed them a photo and said,

“First, look for an herb that looks like this.”

Before attacking the Abyss, you must prepare thoroughly in advance.
