Episode 136

After Hell joined, the fight became one-sided.

Osiris, who was barely gaining an upper hand over Hades, was pushed back in an instant due to Hel and I joining forces.

“Ugh… .”

He collapsed, losing all the mummies he had.

His staff was shattered by the viand, and his beard, the source of his power and authority, was cut off and scattered on the floor.

The heat contained in the sand was completely cooled by the cold air of Niflheim.

“That, that’s enough. I lost.”

Osiris, who was lying on the floor and stumbling backwards, swallowed a sigh and declared surrender.

“That doesn’t make any difference.”

“Kill me. Even if I die, I will appear before you again. It is shameful to have lost to you, but I will be resurrected.”

“There will be no resurrection.”

“what?”

“Just as I swallowed the Eye of Horus, I will take your divinity as well.”

Osiris’ eyes widened.

Was it unexpected that he would be stripped of his divinity?

“How can humans…?”

“There is a way.”

“… If I die, Ra will not forgive you. No matter how many gods you have killed, you would not want to have both Zeus and Ra as your enemies at the same time, right?”

I didn’t answer.

Both Zeus and Ra possess tremendous powers of a divine nature.

However, it was not an unbeatable opponent.

Didn’t we fight once in a past life?

Of course, this was a story from back then when I was stronger than I am now, but even back then, I fought and won against Zeus and Ra.

Thanks to the fatal weaknesses that both gods possess.

‘What is feared is the power that Zeus and Ra possess.’

If those two join forces, it will be a considerable burden.

And Osiris played a central role in the huge group led by Ra.

It was absurd to capture an enemy officer, especially one at the command level, and then let him go.

“Even if you beg like that, I won’t spare you.”

“I will curse you. Even if I die, I will curse you to death! Even after death, you will writhe in endless pain!”

I approached Osiris, who was now pouring curses on me as if there was no other way.

“That curse won’t do me any good. I’m prepared to go to hell when I die.”

I don’t think you can kill God and go to heaven safely.

Somehow the ripple effect from that will find its way to me.

But it doesn’t matter.

‘This is all they have to do to turn humans into monsters and kill the monsters who dream of their own utopia.’

I pierced Osiris’ chest with Gleipnir.

“Cough… .”

Blood gushed from Osiris’ chest and mouth, and his strength gave out and his neck snapped.

The god of the underworld, bleeding red, glared at me until the end and then fell.

It was too absurd to be called the end of a god who ruled over a world.

“… … .”

Only silence remained in the place.

“Do you really intend to fight the sun god Ra?”

Hades, who had seen the end of Osiris, asked me.

Before I could even answer.

A pure white thread appeared in my hand.

‘what?’

It was strange.

Has this phenomenon never happened before?

That was when.

[Dealt with Osiris, the god of the underworld.]

[As a reward, Osiris’ skills will be engraved in the history book.]

[Guide to Death and Resurrection – SS-Class]

[Skill: Thread of Fate]

[Explanation 1: Osiris, who was originally a god and pharaoh who ruled over the earth, transcended death and was resurrected to become the god of the underworld who governs death.]

[Explanation 2: Like a thread that continues on unless broken, the fate of Osiris continues on.]

[Effect 1: When you cut the thread, you can see the fate of your past life.]

[Effect 2: Unauthorized persons cannot use it.]

[Kim Do-jin, the new assassin, is a being who was resurrected by fate, so he can use it.]

[This is a consumable skill. After use, it cannot be registered in the Pokedex or in the skill.]

[Would you like to use it?]

Thread of fate?

A completely unexpected skill emerged.

Can you see your past life’s fate?

I don’t know why it was a past life and not the present life.

This may be because Osiris is a god who is involved in the cycle of life.

‘The fate of a past life.’

A question I’ve been thinking about ever since I gained this power.

Why on earth did I gain such powers, and why did Zeno, the other-worldly god of my previous life, say that I would be a test for the gods?

A curiosity that had been put off because there were so many urgent matters at hand.

I had high hopes that I might be able to solve it this time.

‘I have no advantage in having it.’

Even Osiris might be resurrected by the power of this thread.

I tried so hard to kill that guy.

If the power of the thread remains and it is resurrected, doesn’t that mean all this was in vain?

So I’m hanging up.

If I was going to quit, now was my only chance.

When Hades, who had not yet received his weapon, and Hel, who had a favor to repay, were by my side.

Even if something goes wrong, there are people who will correct it.

I caught the thread.

Then he took Gleipnir and cut the thread.

Crunch!

Swish.

I felt the strength in the thread drain away.

The sound of air escaping from a balloon lingered in my ears.

The power that escaped from the thread enveloped me.

At the same time.

Thump!

“Ugh!”

My heart was pounding like crazy.

Thump! Thump!

“Cough!”

My heart hurts.

“Dojin, what’s going on?”

Hel approached me urgently, and Hades, who had not yet received his weapon, looked at me in surprise.

“Why are you doing that?”

Their voices grew distant.

And by the time their voices were completely inaudible.

“Ugh, ugh.”

My heartbeat, which had been pounding so hard it felt like my chest was being ripped apart, gradually slowed down and returned to normal.

“Where is this?”

The surroundings were filled with pure white scenery.

It felt like I had entered a smoky fog where I couldn’t see anything.

In a space where no sign of life could be felt, I looked around for a moment.

[Effect 1: When you cut the thread, you can see the fate of your past life.]

“Is this the place where one can see one’s destiny?”

If not, the scenery would not have changed so suddenly.

“Hey, is anyone there?”

There was no answer in return.

“If you called, shouldn’t you at least show your face?”

I walked slowly through the white space with such thoughts in my mind.

How long did I walk through nothing?

-It’s been a while.

A familiar voice was heard from the air, and at the same time a familiar face appeared.

It was Zenon, the god of destruction, who had been defeated at the end of his previous life.

“Xenon?”

-Yes. That’s right. To be exact, it’s the last thought I had left behind.

“…What does that mean?”

-I don’t exist in this world.

Zenon laughed heartily.

-Because of your existence, my meaning has disappeared, so the me of the previous world has completely disappeared, and only thoughts remain.

“The old world? So it’s different now?”

-Similar but different. But it’s also the same world. I can’t go into detail. It’s such a complicated concept.

I didn’t necessarily press him for an answer.

What I want to know is how I got this power, not to know the difference between the worlds.

“I cut the thread of Osiris and came here. I said I would show you my destiny. But why did you appear?”

-Because I am the one who gave you the power to become a new killer.

“… Yes. You gave it to me. How on earth did I gain this power?”

Zenon smiled brightly.

The mouth of the giant monster that once threatened humanity twisted into a grotesque expression, but its appearance did not seem scary.

-Because you didn’t trust anyone.

“Is that all?”

-Yes. That’s why you were chosen by Him. It may not have been your desired fate, but thanks to Him, you were given a second chance.

It was because I didn’t believe in God that I got this different opportunity.

“Who is this person you are talking about?”

-… I can’t tell you that. Just know one thing. There is a being that the gods consider to be a god.

Zeno twisted his face after finishing speaking.

I realized it was a laugh.

A being that God regards as God.

As soon as I heard that, the first thing that came to mind was…

‘The creator god who protected Lee Hyeon.’

When he descended in the body of Lee Hyeon, the sight of all the gods kneeling before him was still vivid.

Even the gods Zeus and Odin worshipped him.

I bit my lip.

‘I was chosen by the Creator?’

It’s God’s choice.

From my perspective, it was truly an unpleasant thing to say.

That’s why I’m having such a hard time.

At that moment, Zeno’s ideological body gradually became lighter.

-Hmm, I guess that’s it. It was nice meeting you. You changed the future without dying. You really are a talented person.

“Are you saying that even though I’m killing the other world god?”

-Anyway, I am a thought entity. I have no relationship with the other world god you speak of. Even if I had, my answer would not have changed.

“… … .”

-Remember. I am the one who gave you that power. Why you gained that power.

With those words, Zeno disappeared.

At the same time, the world returned to normal.

The heart that had been beating along with the pain that felt like it was going to tear my chest returned to normal.

“Are you okay? It would be bad if you died right now!”

Hades came up to me and made a joke.

“Haa haa, Hades, how long has it been since I clutched my chest?”

“What are you talking about? Didn’t you just clutch your chest?”

Even though I had been wandering around in a strange world for nearly 30 minutes, it felt like a moment here.

‘What a magical power.’

I looked at the thread I had cut.

It lost its shape and crumbled into dust.

It disappeared as it said in the system message.

“It’s okay. Now I have to make Quinae like I promised.”

“Okay. What materials do you need? I’ll support you with anything you can make.”

I saw Hades.

That which perfectly hid its presence before battle.

‘Didn’t Hades already have Quinae?’

It was when I had such questions.

[11. Shinsalja Kim Do-jin – Making the Holy Relic Aegis]

[I recall the memory of creating a holy relic, a divine weapon, with a human body.]

[Your amazing story resonates with your desire to create a Quine.]

My body began to glow and my vision around me began to change.

And then I saw.

A glittering helmet above Hades’ head.

Hades’ helmet, which had clearly not been visible until just a moment ago, was now visible.

‘What? Hades already has Quinae?’

[Relic Quine – Awakening]

The holy relic didn’t awaken?

I found myself facing Hades without realizing it.

His eyes were filled with the desire to obtain a new relic.

‘If I do this well, I can use it, right?’
