Episode 131

Many people know the legend of Medusa.

Relationship with Poseidon.

While making love at Athena’s temple, Medusa was cursed by her and turned into a monster.

And Danae and the witch who were killed by the Greek hero Perseus, the son of Zeus.

In mythology, she had snake-like hair and a hideous face, turning everyone who looked at her into stone.

The Medusa before me now had a more beautiful appearance than anyone I had ever seen.

okay.

So much so that it can be compared to God.

“So am I going to die now?”

These were the first words that came out of Medusa’s mouth when she heard that she would be taken to Athena.

I shook my head.

“It won’t be like that. “I will not let Athena touch Ms. Medusa.”

“… “Weren’t you taking me to complete the Aegis?”

“you’re right.”

“You’re going to need my face for that.”

Medusa’s face is imbued with a curse that turns anyone to stone just by looking at it.

By embedding her face into the shield, Athena added offensive power to the shield, which had absolute defensive power.

Medusa knows this too, so she thinks she will die.

“no. You don’t necessarily need a face.”

“yes?”

“The Aegis can be awakened in other ways as well.”

“… “Is that possible?”

possible.

In order to evoke the mythological lore of the relics, everything did not have to be the same.

You only need to meet certain acceptable conditions.

“yes. Please believe me.”

Medusa bit her lip.

Her eyes turned to Poseidon standing behind me.

“There is no way. “I’m sorry.”

“all right. Ultimately, the time has come. “You can’t just run away forever.”

She sighed and followed me.

“I hope you keep your promise not to harm me.”

“Don’t worry about that. “I will definitely keep my promise.”

“thank you. “Then what can I do?”

I held out my hand.

“Please cut off Medusa’s hair.”

“… “My hair?”

“yes. “This is a necessary procedure to awaken Aigis.”

“Is that all?”

I nodded.

Medusa looked at me for a moment as if she couldn’t believe it, but then she reached out and picked up the fruit that was on the table in the room.

Suddenly!

“medusa!”

She cut off her flowing hair without any regrets.

She cut her long, silky hair that reached her hips to just above her shoulders, and held out her shiny locks to me.

“Take it. “It’s my hair.”

“You have determination.”

“Because I want to live.”

She answered calmly, looked at me and asked.

“Do I need to meet Athena too?”

“yes. “After all, there is a process called procedure.”

“all right. Please guide me.”

She followed me obediently, unexpectedly.

Honestly, I thought I would hold out and say I didn’t want to go to Athena.

Although Athena promised to keep him from harming her, she would not be happy to meet him.

“You’re calmer than I thought.”

“It is my destiny and the punishment I will face someday.”

Poseidon, who followed me to the entrance, glared at me and said.

“… “If Medusa gets even the slightest wound, the fury of the sea will not leave that bitch Athena and you alone.”

“You can rest assured that nothing like that will happen.”

After seeing off Poseidon, Medusa and I headed to Athena’s Pantheon.

“You’re here.”

Athena looked at me and Medusa and smiled.

“I didn’t know it would come this quickly.”

Her eyes turned to Medusa, who had come with me.

Before she came, Medusa was proud, but when she actually met Athena, she seemed a little withdrawn and was biting her lip.

“It’s been a while.”

“I meet the Goddess of Wisdom.”

“There is no need to be so polite. “It’s going to end soon anyway.”

“… … .”

Unlike Athena, who spoke calmly, Medusa’s body began to tremble.

“If you’re not really going to kill me, why are you scaring me so much?”

“Did you read my mind?”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“You can tell without reading. “There is no reason for Athena to kill Medusa.”

The corners of her mouth rose.

“okay. I thought you would know how. “A way to bring out the power of the shield without killing Medusa.”

She asked me, clenching her chin.

“So, what is the method?”

I held up Medusa’s hair in response.

“You can put a curse on this hair. Then I will plant that hair on the Aegis shield.”

“That’s all it takes?”

“yes. In the end, what is important is Medusa’s ‘head’, which was cursed by Athena.”

I said, twisting my hair.

At first glance, it may seem like a play on words, but in fact, there were many narrative tricks in mythology that took advantage of loopholes in words.

In fact, there was a main character who overcame hardship by eating them.

“It’s hair… . “It’s a reasonable method.”

Athena also nodded as if she understood.

“We’ll have to try to see if this will work, but there’s no harm in trying.”

Athena’s eyes fell on Medusa.

Because she is thinking of Poseidon behind her.

Athena reached out for Medusa’s cut hair.

“Everyone who looks upon them will turn to stone.”

The curse that Athena placed on Medusa.

Not only was it not enough to disfigure her face, but the curse that turned her hair into snakes was once again being recreated in reality.

Medusa’s beautiful green hair gradually changed its appearance in my hands.

Chi-ik!

It turned into dozens of snakes that started showing their fangs and showing their foul temper.

Ouch!

Chi-ik!

When I held them in my hands, the snake struggled and bit my hand.

If the person had less resistance to poison, the bite site would have slowly turned to stone.

However, it was not even the slightest threat to me, who is invulnerable to poison.

“It truly possesses the power of Medusa.”

“I see.”

I looked back at Medusa while holding the snake.

“Now that’s enough. “You can go back.”

“… “Is it over?”

“yes. It’s done.”

“… … .”

Her eyes looked back and forth between me and Athena.

It still seemed hard to believe.

“Was it supposed to end this easily? Then why am I so scared alone… … .”

Tears welled up in her eyes as she was unable to form words.

“You survived because of that process.”

If it were her in the past, she would have pushed ahead and killed him without looking for another way.

In fact, it was like that in my past life as well.

Athena, who received the Aegis as a gift from Hephaestus, searched for Medusa, and in the process engaged in a fierce battle with Poseidon.

Unlike in the myth, Poseidon did his best to protect her.

However, Poseidon, who had lost much of his power due to the pollution of the sea at the time, could not stop her from obtaining the Aegis.

Medusa was captured by Athena that day and lost her life.

Athena was unstoppable when it came to her own success.

That would still be the case now.

But there is a difference.

‘I realized that there was another way other than killing the opponent.’

That gave her some space now.

“Thank you for saying that.”

Medusa lowered her head and her eyes turned to Athena.

“I won’t let you go right away. “I will send it to you once it is confirmed that the Aegis created by Dojin is truly a holy relic.”

“What happens if I fail?”

“You’ll have to give me your head.”

Athena’s voice was colder and colder than anyone else’s.

“You will succeed. “There is no need to make more enemies here.”

My goal was to kill all the gods and prevent future disasters, but there was no need to make all the gods my enemies right away.

If we get Poseidon, who has great antipathy towards Zeus, the current ruler of the gods, on our side.

‘The composition can definitely change.’

So it was.

The reason why they tried to engrave the Aegis instead of killing Medusa.

I received the Aegis from Athena.

“I hope to succeed too. “I don’t want to kill my uncle with my own hands.”

Receiving her sincere support, I held the still alive Medusa snake and Aegis in my hands.

At the same time.

[‘Dojin, the creator of Aegis’, has completed the conditions for Aegis’ relic awakening.]

[Would you like to awaken Aegis with a holy relic?]

A status window appeared in front of me.

A message that seems to give permission to evolve into a holy relic right away.

I looked at the message and answered in my mind.

‘Of course I should.’

At that moment, the light began to flicker.

Flashing lights began to surround the shield and the serpents that were Medusa’s hair.

Hwaaaah!

The poisonous snakes wrapped in a halo of light disappeared, and gradually seeped into the shield.

It was an amazing sight that I couldn’t believe even though I was seeing it with my own eyes.

I unconsciously closed my mouth and watched the shield evolve into a holy relic.

When the light disappeared, a colorful shield took its place.

The surface of the shield had a snake engraved so vividly that it felt as if it were alive.

The engraved snake shimmered with a gloomy green light.

[Aegis – Relic]

[Producer – Kim Do-jin]

[A holy relic, a weapon of God, was created with a human body.]

[Your amazing story has been rewritten.]

[The myth can be recorded without the witness entering the recording room.]

The abilities of Aegis, the first relic I made, were written in detail.

“Take it. “It is a relic, Aegis.”

“It’s done.”

There was joy in Athena’s eyes, and relief in Medusa’s eyes.

“It turns out to be easier than you think.”

“Because I am the producer.”

If I hadn’t made it, I might have had to go to the blacksmith shop and work the bellows again.

“Now it is Athena’s turn to keep her promise.”

“I get it. “Let me take you to the library.”

The corners of Athena’s mouth rose as she received the shield.

The face of the god who received a holy relic from a human for the first time was filled with joy.
