Episode 127

When I arrived at Athena’s Tailor Shop, Monos came out and greeted me.

Now, as if she had no intention of hiding her appearance, her true self was revealed, rather than the old gentleman she had appeared before.

“Athena is waiting.”

“Are you doing business like you are now?”

“That’s right. Now that Athena has come to the forefront, there is no need to hide anything. And Dojin already knows my face, so there’s no need for that.”

“okay.”

Guided by Monos, we headed to Athena’s room.

“You came sooner than I thought. “Did you hear the news that Thor was placed on absolute probation?”

“yes. They kept talking about it on TV. “Is everything going well?”

“Of course. Thanks to the evidence you gave, things are going well. His father personally went out to investigate. The Abyss of Tongmanga that you sealed also became indirect evidence.”

“As expected, the aftermath of the runaway Abyss managed by Thor is significant.”

“yes.”

A satisfied smile appeared on Athena’s face.

“What’s going on with Thor?”

“I will probably be judged sooner or later. “I may soon be permanently expelled and downgraded from a god to a human.”

“You will lose everything, including your apostles, guild members, and even your own strength.”

“I guess so. Of course, Odin will stop it somehow, but we’ll have to wait and see.”

I nodded at her words.

If Odin prevented Thor’s punishment, that was also the scenario I wanted.

The fact that Thor got involved in this in the first place was the best development for me.

‘There is no way out.’

If he is punished, Thor will lose his godly powers and fall, and even if he is not, he will lose trust.

In order to restore this, the gods will use more courage, and in the meantime, I just need to hold my position more firmly.

“You look like you like it.”

“Did it look like that?”

“okay. It was the brightest expression I’ve ever seen. “Do you have a personal grudge against Thor?”

“I can’t say it doesn’t exist.”

“Right.”

Athena looked at me and raised the corners of her mouth.

“What are the chances that this will backlash against Athena?”

“It converges to 0. “It was confirmed that I was not the culprit, but rather I was more of a victim who was given unnecessary suspicion.”

“okay.”

“So you don’t have to worry.”

After finishing speaking, she rested her chin and continued speaking.

“You are a truly desirable talent. “I also like how he confidently declared that he would not come under my control.”

Athena lamented that she was a virgin god who could only recruit women.

Even if that weren’t the case, I wouldn’t have gone under Athena.

“It’s really unfortunate. “It’s a shame.”

I handed her a note.

“This is the location of Medusa that we promised before.”

“… “It’s amazing.”

She accepted the note I gave her without even suspecting it.

It may be because so far, she has only shown herself to be able to do her job perfectly.

Because of that, she completely trusted the person named Kim Do-jin.

Even if there was nothing written on this note, I thought Do-jin had a different plan.

That’s right, he is the one who sealed the Abyss and defeated God in a human body.

The note Athena opened contained words about a specific place.

“Medusa is hiding here?”

“yes. To be exact, he is under the protection of Poseidon. “You don’t want the ex-lover you liked to turn into the same monster.”

“… “I have to fight my uncle.”

“yes.”

“Hehe, there was a reason you gave it to me obediently, yes.”

“If you wish, you can accept the request.”

“I guess there are conditions instead?”

I nodded.

“what? “Tell me.”

“I want to ask you something about the gods of this world.”

“A god from another world? Why are they suddenly doing this?”

“Do you know anything about the gods of this world? Stories like why they want to conquer this world.”

In my past life, I just fought with them.

I couldn’t understand why they attacked this world and why they attacked humanity and God because of trials.

Just words borrowed from the mouths of the gods at the end.

All they say is that it is an ordeal to leap into a new world.

I couldn’t tell what their will was.

At first, I thought they were evil people in themselves.

I also thought that they might be people full of hatred and destruction from the moment they were born.

Monsters who bless monsters and curse this land.

But the moment I saw Promise, I thought my hypothesis was wrong.

I wonder if it was some kind of environment that made them like that, rather than accumulating hatred from the moment they were born.

So I came.

Athena, who knows a little more about the gods of this world than I do.

Athena, who can enter the library of knowledge that contains all information, would know a little more about the gods of the other world.

Athena furrowed her brows at my question.

“… Are you asking about the gods of this world?”

“yes.”

“I don’t think it’s just a question of their existence, right?”

“you’re right. Where did you come from and why are you attacking this world? “What are they?”

“… … .”

Athena was silent for a moment.

She looked at me carefully and calmly opened her mouth.

“If you hear this, you may never go back to the way you were before. “Is that still okay?”

I have already seen the secrets of the gods in my past life.

I saw not only the destruction of humanity, but also the destruction of this dimension.

No, to be exact, I saw it right before that.

A world line where the gods survive and humanity perishes.

“of course.”

There was nothing more to be afraid of when I saw such a scene.

“I get it. Then I’ll tell you. Please remember that I am saying this because of the trust you have shown through your actions so far.”

“All right.”

“Just don’t bring this up anywhere. “Keep it to yourself.”

After seeing that I was nodding, Athena slowly opened her mouth.

“The gods of this world were originally gods just like us. He was actually a god from another dimension. Managing each dimension and helping the beings in that dimension develop. “That was their role.”

Athena sighed deeply.

“And trials came to them, just as they did to us. Some overcame and became masters of a new era, while others failed and were trapped in the Abyss.”

“Wait. So, are you saying that the Abyss is a land where traces of the gods of this world remain?”

“As far as I know, yes. Of course, not all Abyss are like that. Some Abyss collapsed after being invaded by external gods. “It is said that gods from different dimensions face their own trials.”

Until now, it was thought that the world of the Abyss was also being invaded by another world.

In fact, I heard such stories from local Abyss creatures.

A monster came in and made a mess of the world.

I was surprised that it wasn’t just that.

“So, are you saying that some gods destroy the land they ruled with their own hands?”

“okay. And after destroying their entire world, they turn to other worlds. Like Tongmanga, the god of sloth.”

“… … .”

Her eyes turned to me and Promise next to me.

“I’m probably asking because of the god of the other world that you awakened.”

“You noticed.”

“A boy with great power that no human can possess. But if I am a being whose face I don’t even know, there is only one identity.”

She smiled lightly.

“There is a high possibility that the child is a local god who has ruled the Abyss of Tongmanga, the god of sloth that you sealed away, for a long time.”

“Are you saying that Tongmanga invaded and destroyed the world?”

“yes. Of course I can’t be sure. As I said before, the Abyss is created in so many different ways.”

But one thing was certain.

The gods of the Abyss are not beings that just cry out for destruction.

He was once a god who ruled a world, but he could not overcome the trials… .

‘But in the past life, the gods who finished conquering Zeno, the last god of the other world, turned all the apostles into monsters.’

Just like the gods of the Abyss.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that the gods of the Abyss had failed and were not trapped in the Abyss.

‘It might actually be the opposite.’

It may be that he overcame the ordeal and became a monster that shed one of his limitations.

For now, it’s all just speculation.

‘You will find out slowly.’

I asked, looking at Athena.

“Then do you know about the one who gives trials?”

“Do you know that much…? … . I do not know. “Perhaps neither my father nor Odin knows that.”

“Is that so.”

I knew everything I wanted to know.

“That’s enough. “I’ll let you figure out the rest yourself.”

“What are you thinking about that boy?”

Athena pointed to Promise.

“We’ll have to go together for a while.”

“Dojin! “Am I going with you?”

Promise jumped up and down with her fists clenched.

“okay. We should go together. “I think I need your help.”

In addition to power, Promise, the god of the other world, will definitely be of great help in finding clues to the god of the other world.

“I like being helpful!”

Promise smiled brightly.

“So what do you plan to do now?”

“We have to go find Poseidon. “Aren’t you looking for Medusa?”

“It did.”

Athena nodded.

“What are you going to do about my uncle? Are you going to kill me?”

Is it because of the record so far?

Athena’s voice asking me felt quite sad.

“Maybe so.”

“… Because of that, we may not be able to deal with the Abyss.”

“I will handle it. “Everything, including the Abyss that Poseidon is neglecting.”

For reasons of economy and expansion of power, he planned to destroy all of the Abyss left behind by Poseidon.

“If you are planning to kill my uncle, be sure to let Medusa live.”

“Are you planning on handling it yourself?”

“okay. “I will decide then whether to kill her or save her.”

Athena sighed and leaned back in her chair.

“Just know that. There are many gods connected with my uncle. “More than you could imagine.”

“There are as many enemies as there are many allies.”

“To get them on your side?”

“I still think so.”

If, as I guess, all the gods who survived the ordeal are broken like the gods of this world, I don’t know if other gods will change their minds.

“I hope you don’t kill everyone.”

After speaking, she smiled bitterly.

“then. “I’ll just go.”

“I’m looking forward to good news.”

I left the tailor shop with Promise.

* * *

Athena’s Pantheon where Dojin left.

“Monos.”

“Yes, Athena.”

“How many documents do we have related to this being?”

“Not much. Most of them are top secret… .”

“is it.”

Athena sighed.

“Let’s go to the Library of Knowledge. “I have a question.”

“All right.”

Athena’s eyes lit up as she looked at the place where Dojin had disappeared.
