Episode 137

[Relic Quine – Awakening]

A phrase that says Quine has not awakened.

It was a different kind of notification from Athena’s Aegis.

‘Unlike Aegis, who was created from scratch, Hades already has Cynae.’

Don’t you know?

If you had known, you wouldn’t have asked me to make you a Quine.

‘Rather, you would have handed me Quinae, who had not yet awakened as a complete relic like Athena.’

That meant that Hades didn’t realize that he now possessed Cynthia.

‘Then it’s practically the same as not having it.’

[Relic Quine – Awakening]

I smiled inwardly at the word tastelessness.

It wasn’t difficult to awaken the already completed equipment.

I thought I knew because I had awakened Aegis once.

‘I have a feeling.’

The confidence that you can awaken.

“Where are you looking at?”

“Hades, why are you looking for Quinea?”

“That’s to obtain the holy relic. A stronger force will call more believers.”

“What do you plan to do with your followers?”

“… will unite the underworld into one.”

“So you hit Niflheim?”

“okay.”

“… … .”

Hell flinched beside him.

She was biting her lip, her body trembling as if the memories of the previous invasion were coming back to her.

“Don’t worry. We won’t have to attack Niflheim again. We’ll move in the direction of cooperation.”

“What is the reason?”

“Why do you want to merge the underworld?”

“okay.”

Hades saw his underworld.

The vast underworld covered in shadows and darkness gave off an eerie atmosphere.

“When we descended, the once unified underworld was torn into several pieces. It seems fine now, but change brings chaos. Especially now, when the gods of the other world are invading through the Abyss.”

“Is unification of the underworld the way to resolve this chaos?”

“okay.”

Hades kept his mouth shut and remained silent for a moment.

“The gods like Zeus and Ra are convinced that they will become better gods. They believe that they can become stronger in a new way, not the way they are now, living off of the beliefs of humanity.”

“Are you different?”

“… Rather than saying it was different, I felt it was unnecessary.”

“Unnecessary?”

“You’ve already gained a physical body and are living a new life, so there’s no need to bother fighting the Abyss beings.”

“I think you said it was a trial.”

Hades’ black eyes look at me.

“There is no reason for everyone to be strangled by that ordeal.”

“So that’s why Zeus also hates you.”

“That’s correct.”

Suddenly, I remembered that Poseidon and Zeus didn’t get along very well either.

“Does Poseidon think the same as you?”

“Well, he’s just as crazy about women as Zeus. He probably only cares about spending time with Medusa.”

“… … .”

I looked at him for a moment.

“Are there many gods who think like you?”

“Yes, for now. But they are all watching Zeus, Ra, and Odin. They have the support of the creator god.”

wait for a sec.

“What? The Creator?”

“okay.”

I never expected to hear the name of the Creator here.

The guy started to come to the forefront after Lee Hyeon announced that he had received the blessing.

I’ve already heard that name.

“When did the Creator God come into existence?”

“…still active.”

“Who is it?”

“No one knows. It is only known that there is a creator god hidden and active among the gods.”

“I see….”

“In any case, there is no god who would reject the three main gods who are supported by the creator god who created all gods. Later, as the war with the other world gods intensifies, more gods will join them.”

“Are you going to stop that?”

“Yes. For that, we need the unification of the underworld, as well as Quinae.”

Hades clenched his fist.

Even without using the Truth Eater, I could tell that what he said was true.

There were certainly gods who were dissatisfied with Zeus, Odin, and Ra.

Athena rather wanted to become the queen of the Greek gods, while her fellow chief god, Loki, openly acted against the existing system of gods.

Sekhmet of Egypt also pursued an ideal that was completely different from that of the existing gods.

It was clear that not all gods shared the same thoughts.

‘There is no better information for me who desires the division of the gods.’

Athena, Hades, Sekhmet and Loki.

I was confident that I could shake things up from within by making these my focal points.

“You can make it in Quine right now.”

“Okay. How do you make it? Just find the ingredients to make a Quinae. Tell me what you need. I’ll give you everything right now.”

“It’s simple.”

The method of awakening was very simple.

If I stretch out my hand to the Cunei located at the head of Hades.

[Would you like to awaken Quinae as a holy relic?]

[Producer – Dojin Kim]

A message appeared saying:

It seemed like a system where if I awaken, it would naturally become an enlightenment and be passed on to Hades.

How much I could trust Hades was a stumbling block, but I had come to this conclusion myself before coming here.

‘I don’t believe in Hades.’

We prepare as much as possible for his possible betrayal and move forward.

From the beginning, it was all planned to capture Osiris through Hades.

Now that Osiris has been killed, there is no harm in giving Cene to Hades.

However, even if you kill Osiris, it may be detrimental to you if you turn Hades into your enemy.

All the calculations were done in my head.

Now that I’ve come to a conclusion.

‘Now is the time to act.’

I reached out to Hades.

“Hades, you already have Quinae.”

“…there is no time for wordplay.”

“You know that, right? Aren’t you already making full use of the skills that Quine possesses?”

“… … .”

Hades shut his mouth.

He also knew that he had hidden his presence in order to deceive Osiris.

“That is an ability that a god of the underworld should naturally possess.”

“Isn’t that so? Are you so caught up in your own stubbornness that you don’t notice what you already have?”

Hades was using Quinae’s powers, albeit imperfectly.

So, I guess he was wearing Quine while he was unconscious.

“… Then what should I do?”

“Close your eyes and wait. That’s all.”

“… I don’t understand it, but I get it.”

I put my outstretched hand to my head.

[Would you like to awaken Quinae as a holy relic?]

[Producer – Dojin Kim]

The message appears again.

‘Awaken.’

As I repeated the will to myself, the helmet made of shimmering light began to take shape.

Hwaaaat!

A brilliant golden light that did not match the underworld glittered, and Cunei took perfect shape above Hades’ head.

Hades’ lips twitched.

I know it even without opening my eyes.

That Quine is sitting on his head.

“It really was… that.”

Hades opened his eyes again and spoke while wearing a helmet with a unique Greek appearance on his head.

“It really was already there for me in Quine.”

“How is it? How do you feel about finding a gold nugget under the bed?”

“How disappointing. How could I not have known that it was so close? I have never felt so stupid.”

Hades looked at me blankly.

“… I was blinded by greed. My field of vision was so narrow that I couldn’t even see what was above my head.”

There was even a hint of despair in his voice.

It was a voice mixed with the emptiness of having been writing until now and the shame of having it but not realizing it.

As an omnipotent god, he must be reflecting on himself for making such an absurd mistake.

“That’s amazing. You figured out something that even a rookie like me couldn’t figure out.”

The eyes of Osiris were turned towards me.

“You are a truly covetable talent. I want to keep you tied up in this afterlife.”

A cold wind blew at those words.

“If you try to harm Mr. Dojin, I won’t let you off the hook.”

“Hahaha, don’t worry. I was just saying it.”

For something like that, you put too much sincerity into it?

Hades met my eyes and waved his hand.

“I’m serious. I already have the Quine, so I don’t want any more relics.”

“Then that’s good.”

“I have received such great favor, so I cannot just let it go. Is there anything you want? I will grant any request you may have.”

At those words I looked at Hades and said.

“What’s wrong?”

“Yes. I won’t be able to repay this favor easily. You opened my foolish eyes, so I must repay you.”

“I will kill Thor.”

“… … .”

“I wish you could help me then.”

“You want to kill Thor? Thor is the strongest god besides the main god. He is several times stronger than Osiris of the Underworld.”

“know.”

I know.

How vicious a god Thor is.

He also knew how much power he had over the gods.

So, kill them.

Now, while I was being disciplined and detained alone, this was my only chance to kill Thor.

“If we kill Thor, we may not be able to stop the god of the other world.”

“Zeus won’t just offer me a bounty.”

“Are you still going to do it even though you knew?”

“okay.”

If you can’t kill Thor, then in the end no one will be able to win.

It was a mountain that had to be overcome someday.

“When do you plan on killing me?”

“Before the guy’s detention ends.”

It will take some time for him to be released, as he is locked up with the stigma of causing the Abyss to run wild.

So, equip yourself with the power and weapons to kill that bastard.

“…Why do you want to kill God? Isn’t it true that humans were able to escape the invasion of the Abyss thanks to the gods of human history?”

“No, quite the opposite.”

“what?”

“Isn’t it because of the gods that this damned fight continues?”

“… … .”

A story I heard at the library.

The reason why the god of human history fights the otherworldly god who rules the Abyss.

The reason why the other world god invaded this place.

The purpose of the gods of human history is to have the power to rule over one dimension.

I already knew that the other world was there to stop them.

That all the disasters in this world were created by their greed.

“Are you qualified too?”

“That’s what it is.”

“I’m a human, but I’ve earned the qualifications. It’s surprising, but I don’t know how to accept this….”

Hades sighed.

“You intend to end the war of the gods once and for all.”

“Yes. I plan to return it to its original world.”

“…Okay. I understand if that’s what you’re thinking. I’ll help you.”

Hades smiled.

“I don’t like the current system either.”

So the god of death joined Thor’s raid party.
