Episode 138

After awakening Quinae and receiving Hades’ promise to participate in the war, I left his underworld.

“Mr. Dojin!”

As soon as I returned to my original world under Charon’s guidance, Lee Su-yeon was the first to run to me.

“Are you hurt anywhere? Did you come back safely? You didn’t die and come back as a spirit, did you?”

She touched my face here and there and asked in an urgent voice.

“I’m fine. It’s okay since I’m right…”

“But it was Hades! He went into the den of the god of the underworld alone, not some other god, so I couldn’t help but be worried!”

Before even answering Lee Soo-yeon’s concerns.

“Dojin!”

Promise followed.

The guy who ran up to me hugged me tightly.

“I’ve been waiting! You went to fight alone! How was it? Did you win against Hades?”

I answered him, stroking his hair as he looked at me like a child.

“I didn’t fight Hades.”

“Then? Who did you fight with? It’s not like you didn’t fight, right?”

“I fought a similar guy. Do you know Osiris?”

“I don’t know!”

“He’s as strong as Hades, and I defeated him.”

“Oh! That’s amazing! Is he strong?”

“It was really strong.”

So much so that it’s hard to win alone.

“Next time, I’ll fight too! Fighting alone is fatal.”

“Okay. Let’s do it together next time.”

“huh!”

Fenrir and Jormungandr also came to me.

-How have you been, Hell?

“Your face looks good.”

-That’s fortunate.

The guys were also older brothers who were full of worries about their younger siblings.

-I hope we can go together next time. Because we can fight together no matter how strong the enemy is.

Jormungandr stuck out his tongue and complained about me acting alone.

“Okay. Keep that in mind.”

-That’s fine.

That was when.

“Your expression is good. It looks like the work has ended well.”

The door leading to Athena’s room opened and Athena appeared.

“It ended well.”

“You killed Osiris?”

“That’s what happened.”

“Thank goodness I don’t have to hear that my uncle died instead of Osiris.”

Athena swept her chest, seeming genuinely relieved.

I approached Athena like that.

“You clearly said that the god of the underworld lies, right?”

“… Yes. You shouldn’t believe it completely.”

“What does Athena think of Hades?”

“He is a person who confuses people by making his words ambiguous. However….”

“but?”

“He will surely reward those who show favor to him.”

“Is that so?”

She nodded.

“Then it is fine.”

It wasn’t a relief that Hades had been granted a definite favor.

It was a relief to me that the language was ambiguous.

Only when he spoke of the Creator and Zeus did his voice sound confident.

“You can believe it.”

“What did you talk about?”

“In return for creating Quine, I agreed to receive help in attacking Thor.”

“Thor… Are you really planning to kill him?”

“yes.”

Thor.

A god who, despite being a higher-level god, possesses powers comparable to those of the main god.

There was much talk among the gods about the source of Thor’s strength.

This may be because Thor is a god with such absolute power that there are Vikings who worship him as their god.

Wouldn’t that be why you can exert a force much stronger than the strength you have?

“You intend to completely overturn the current order and flow.”

“That’s right. I’d do anything to achieve that.”

“… … .”

“Do you want to get out right now?”

“No way. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to overthrow the current order commanded by my father.”

Athena laughed.

She, like Hades, seemed to have no other desire than to change her current situation.

“Then I understand that you will join us.”

“But what are we going to do? Even if Thor is imprisoned in the Pantheon, his powers won’t be gone.”

“I already have most of the cards.”

Jormungandr, who was with Thor in mythology.

Likewise, Fenrir and Hel, who caused Ragnarok.

There is Hades, the god of the underworld.

Promise, a former otherworldly god whose power is unfathomable.

Finally me.

If they were alone, it would be difficult for them to defeat Thor, but if they fought together, the party would have enough power to defeat Thor.

but.

‘I need one blow to deliver the finishing blow.’

Whether it’s a weapon or a skill.

A great power that can consume lightning.

What could it be?

I thought back to when I faced Thor in my past life.

If you put a lightning rod in when lightning strikes, its power will go into the ground and be absorbed.

‘Even so, Thor’s power was ridiculously strong.’

To an extreme degree.

It was absorbed by a lightning rod once, but the second time, the earth could not withstand the lightning and exploded like a landmine.

But once you absorb it, it’s absorbed.

Just as the earth absorbed Thor’s lightning, so too did it have its vulnerabilities in magic.

Illusion.

And I had the magic I gained by killing many gods.

[Combination Skill: Mask of Illusion – S-Rank]

The power to completely deceive others by wearing a mask that changes one’s appearance to another person and even changing one’s voice.

It was the best skill to attack Thor, who was weak to illusions.

But still.

‘I don’t have the skill to make the last move.’

The stab that killed the gods.

All I have is one ultimate technique that I have acquired through countless stabbings.

But if I cast that stab with my current body.

‘It’s obvious that things will get twisted here and there.’

If you write, it will be limited to once.

‘That alone is enough.’

But I just had to create that perfect opportunity.

A perfect opportunity for Thor to not even notice my attack.

I could use the mask to hallucinate my opponent, but that would only make him perceive me as someone else, and that would have no effect.

So we needed another way to steal the spotlight.

“What are you thinking about so much?”

Promise looked at me with round eyes and asked.

There was innocence on the face of the guy who was tilting his head.

“I get it! Are you worried about the next enemy you’re going to fight? That god is too strong!”

“I know right.”

“I’m smart! Promise is smart!”

I looked at him.

An otherworldly god that was created when the world of Feratus, the god of sloth, went out of control.

To be exact, it is a being born from the egg of an other-worldly god.

An unidentified being who gave up on becoming an other-worldly god and became a promise.

Someone even Athena doesn’t know properly.

‘I couldn’t find any information about Promise even in the library.’

To be exact, it is information about an other-worldly god who gave up his power.

I thought about introducing Promise to the Spirit of Knowledge and asking him for information about it, but decided against it.

The guy is someone I’ve never encountered in my past life.

I couldn’t provide any information without knowing how the Spirit of Knowledge would deal with him.

“Promise.”

“huh!”

“Are you smart?”

“that’s right!”

“Then can you tell me what you are good at?”

“Hmm… First of all, you’re good at fighting, and you’re also good at resting! You’re not good at resting alone, you’re also good at resting together!”

I wiggled my eyebrows at Promise’s words as she folded her fingers one by one.

wait for a sec.

Are we all resting together?

“What does it mean that we all rest together?”

“Well, I’ve experienced Dojin before.”

“Have I ever experienced it?”

“Yeah. We used to rest together on our land.”

Are you talking about the Abyss of Laziness?

Since Loki can summon the Abyss, it’s only natural that he can do so as well.

“Can you show me?”

“Here? Then everything here will be a mess?”

“…I know a good place. Let’s go together.”

“okay!”

“Would you like to go too, Sooyeon?”

Lee Soo-yeon nodded at my suggestion.

“I wonder what it will show me.”

That was when.

“I’m interested too. I’d like to follow along, is that okay?”

“You can’t.”

Athena took a step forward and spoke, but Promis stopped her.

“what?”

“I can’t show it to you.”

“Are you saying that I am Dojin’s collaborator?”

“huh.”

Promise’s voice was more serious than usual.

“…I see. I understand. If you’re going to stop me like that, then I’ll stop.”

Athena stepped back, and Promis regained her former smile.

“good!”

“Then let’s go.”

After greeting Athena, I took Promise and headed to a suitable empty space where there were no people.

* * *

“Look carefully.”

Promise, standing in the middle of the empty lot, clapped her hands together, and at that moment.

Rumble.

The air around us began to grow heavy.

“This is….”

I’ve had similar experiences before.

Abyss of sloth.

I felt a fucking force that gave the person who entered a heavy feeling of oppression, as well as a feeling of helplessness that made them not want to move even a single finger.

“How about this? We’re forcing them to rest. I mean, everyone else who’s been caught in this area.”

“Is it compulsory?”

“Yeah. Even the gods wouldn’t be able to escape easily, right?”

“Can you identify the opponent?”

“You can choose any point you want as long as it’s close enough to touch.”

That’s right.

“If you and Thor ever come face to face, I can temporarily tie you up.”

“Hehe, that’s right.”

“… … .”

Promise smiling brightly.

But my face wasn’t that bright.

“Why are you telling me this now?”

“Because I didn’t ask.”

“Didn’t you completely eliminate the power of the Abyss of Sloth?”

“It’s true that it’s gone. I have nothing to do with that place anymore.”

“then?”

“This power is something else. In the language of this world, it’s like… um… . a retirement allowance!”

I think I know who learned the word “severance pay” from.

Lee Su-yeon, who is full of interest in the gods of the other world, has been chatting away with Promise lately.

‘That’s not important.’

Phew.

I sighed.

“Okay. Thanks for letting me know.”

“You are absolutely right!”

“It will definitely help a lot.”

Originally, I was planning to do some preliminary work to catch Thor.

I thought about getting a skill to deliver the final blow, or maybe clearing out one of the gods around him.

But if the power of promise works properly.

‘It’s quite possible.’

Erasing the myth of Thor.

Of course, it won’t be easy.

The body may not end well.

however.

‘I have to do it.’

In order to destroy the structure, it was necessary to destroy the giant wall called Thor, which protected the majesty of the gods.

If we break down that wall.

‘I will become a true enemy of the gods.’

It won’t be as simple as offering a bounty.

and.

The gods will begin to divide into two groups: either they will perceive me as a complete enemy and try to kill me, or they will claim to be on my side.

Enough to feel peaceful now.

“I was prepared for it to turn out like this.”

Kill any gods that are harmful to humanity and any gods from the other world.

That was the best I could do.

I drew my sword.

Sling.

“This time I’m going after Thor.”

“… … .”

“I might really die.”

“I’ll be with you. Don’t worry.”

I nodded at Lee Soo-yeon’s answer.

“Thank you.”

“Me too! I’ll go too!”

Promise shouted, and thanks to that, my heart felt a little better.
