Episode 139

The god of lightning, revered by countless gods and people, was gnashing his teeth within his pantheon.

“What kind of guy is he?”

He was furious that his plans had been completely ruined.

The frequency of Abyss appearing has decreased significantly recently.

Not only was the frequency of occurrence weaker, but the level of the monsters that appeared was also weaker than before.

Thor, a natural fighter and warmonger, didn’t like that.

He was a god who firmly believed that only more fights would help him and his guild grow.

‘In order to jump higher, I had to kill more otherworldly gods.’

However, neither the Abyss nor the other world gods appeared.

Having lost his place to fight, Thor lost the space to show off his talents, and the powers of his apostles also stopped growing.

This can’t go on.

At that time, it was truly a coincidence that I heard the information that the Abyss could be artificially made to go berserk and be awakened again.

It was knowledge that was not even taught in the library of knowledge.

A small group of apostates in the region he subdued.

In the process of subduing the apostates who had a grand plan to reawaken the already subdued Abyss and call upon their god, I saw the results of their research.

It was hard to believe, but when I saw the evidence, I couldn’t help but be intrigued.

Inject magic into the Abyss to regenerate the core and force it to operate.

As a result, the shell of the originally dead other-worldly god starts working again, and the stopped Abyss motor starts turning, giving birth to a new other-worldly god.

Thor immediately put the plan into action.

It started out as a very small abyss.

Abyss, abandoned by everyone due to its lack of economic feasibility.

Thor forcibly injected magic into the Abyss, and the magic caused the Abyss to go berserk again.

It was a very small Abyss with low ranks and weak monsters.

But the results were certain.

The Abyss was resurrected, and the gods of the other world were reborn.

Thor then decapitated his newly born enemy.

Since it was such a small abyss, it was an easy task for him to keep it from anyone noticing.

Thanks to this, new guild members and apostles also gained a lot of practical experience.

Starting with that, he revived and conquered the Abyss, which had already died once, especially the small ones.

Then suddenly an idea occurred to me.

A way to create an Abyss while simultaneously defeating your mythical enemy.

I heard that Jormungand is alone in the small sea of ​​the east, blocking the Abyss.

If you pollute that place and cover it with magic, the Abyss that he was blocking will open when he dies.

After thinking about it, Thor went to find the traitors and support them.

Of course, the plan failed because of a sudden human intervention, but his plan did not stop.

A plan to artificially cause a small number of Abysses to go berserk and create more enemies.

Starting with the Abyss managed by Tir, he explodes the Abyss managed by himself again to subdue enemies and build faith.

There are also real-life examples of newly joined guild members.

As long as they didn’t get caught artificially causing the Abyss to run wild, it would only be beneficial for the Thor Guild.

That was Thor’s goal.

After getting away with it a few times like that, I started getting greedy.

The desire to aim for a greater abyss.

So I aimed for Tyr’s Abyss and succeeded in going berserk, but the problem came next.

Just as they were about to send reinforcements, Tyr, Loki, and Athena suddenly joined forces and reported that the Abyss’ rampage was caused artificially.

He couldn’t escape suspicion, as even the Abyss he had been managing went out of control.

Thor saw Odin, who had come to find his pantheon.

“Is that really what you did?”

“… Yes, Father.”

His father Odin.

Having lost one eye, but gained the ability to foresee the future and wisdom, he has always been a worrier.

In mythology, there is Ragnarok.

Now is the future where this fight is over.

“Why did you do that? Even if you hadn’t done that, enemies would have appeared over time.”

“How long have you been waiting for that? It’s been years since the Great Advent, and yet the good guys haven’t come back.”

“… You must know that the gods’ position is narrowing because of what you did.”

“Well, that’s fine. As long as the gods and humans need me, I won’t lose my power.”

Zeus has decreed absolute confinement until the punishment is determined, but this will not last long.

Without Thor, there would be huge holes in the wires.

The gods, who do not want to lose themselves, will soon bring Thor back.

It was painful to lose Mjolnir, but he was sure that if he ever went out again, it would naturally fall into his hands.

“Zeus won’t give in easily. He cares a lot about the authority of the gods.”

“I know. But isn’t that all? It’s not something he can decide on his own.”

“Yes. I can’t push you out of the seat of God. But I won’t just let it go either.”

“…I know.”

Because in the end, it harmed humans and damaged the authority of God.

Yeah, authority.

“But, you know, does it make sense that our authority would disappear just because a few humans died?”

It was nonsense.

They are beings who are worshipped by humans.

Worship and awe.

But why do we have to live while being influenced by other people’s opinions?

They are a race that must be ruled by themselves.

Odin responded calmly to Thor’s words.

“So, we must accomplish great things. If we do not want to become a being that lives off of people’s beliefs.”

Great undertaking.

Both Thor and Odin knew what it was.

To become a god who transcends human belief rather than existing through human belief.

An otherworldly god who rules over the dimensions in the Abyss.

To have complete dominion over mortals and creatures, beyond belief, like them.

“… … .”

Thor kept his mouth shut, knowing what Odin meant.

“If you are upset about something today, never forget and remember. If humans forget, our very existence will be destroyed.”

Before their advent, they were the dregs of a dead myth.

They were gods with powers that transcended humans, but they lost their faith and belief and were forgotten, just decorating a page in history.

I was worried about Ragnarok, but the true end came in a different way.

But now I will not repeat the same future again.

“Okay, Father.”

Thor bowed his head.

At the same time, his resentment towards humans grew.

“I’ll be going now. I’ll talk to Zeus. In order to accomplish the great task, we need to turn a blind eye to each other.”

So Odin left, and Thor quietly began to seek revenge against the humans and gods who had imprisoned him.

* * *

“So how are you going to catch Thor?”

Lee Su-yeon asked me.

“Is there a way? In the end, it’s a head-on attack.”

“Attacking head on… wouldn’t that be suicidal?”

I shook my head.

“Of course we won’t fight from the beginning.”

“sure?”

“Let’s try to resolve this through dialogue.”

If that conversation doesn’t work out, you’ll have no choice but to raise your fist.

“Are you trying to get through Thor’s disciples with conversation?”

“There is a way.”

There are already apostles who have a face, and there are also illusionary masks that have been used properly once.

There are many ways.

“I like anything!”

If you try to force it there, you might be able to use Promise’s ability.

“If not now, there will be no chance.”

Not only was Thor subjected to a disciplinary action, he was also forced to return Mjolnir.

If he had lost half of his strength, we would be able to win just fine now.

I recalled the information I had heard from Athena before leaving for Thor’s Guild.

-They say Odin just left Thor’s guild. He probably went to his father Zeus to discuss Thor’s disposition. Now is the only chance.

Currently, Thor’s pantheon consists only of his apostles and Thor himself.

I have the horn to call Hades, and all the conditions for Hell to descend have been prepared.

A situation where I can collide with the power I have.

I checked my weapons one last time.

“Phew.”

Lee Su-yeon asked me that.

“But won’t you accept help from Loki?”

“I won’t accept it.”

“If it’s Loki, isn’t he the enemy of Thor? If Loki could help, it would be a great help.”

No, quite the opposite.

Loki wouldn’t want me to attack Thor.

Because Thor’s presence would make things more interesting for him.

“And even if you offer to help me, I will refuse.”

Because I don’t know what they’ll ask for in return for helping me kill Thor.

Since it was such a difficult request, it was clear that he would ask something difficult of me as well.

It was a burden in many ways to send Loki into the battlefield to hunt Thor.

“Unless it’s help you don’t need in return, there’s no reason to accept it.”

“okay.”

-I guess I can finally break this bad relationship.

Jormungand hovered over my shoulder, his tongue sticking out.

“It won’t end easily.”

-I know.

“Let’s try hard.”

-okay.

And how long did it take?

We arrived at Thor’s Pantheon.

“Huh? You?”

Yondasson recognized me and came over to me in surprise.

“What’s the matter? Is there something you need to see Thor?”

I shook my head.

“No, that’s not it. I came here to find someone else.”

“Someone else? Who are you talking about?”

“I heard that there is a guild member active here named Jang Man-cheol.”

Jang Man-cheol.

An apostle of the Thor Guild who survived from his previous life to the final expedition.

A human who has stood on the battlefield alongside Lee Hyeon many times, and a comrade who has also been through many dungeons with me in my previous life.

Of course, now it was a memory that only remained in my head.

There probably isn’t a single memory of that time left in Jang Man-cheol’s head now.

“I’m talking about Mancheol-gun. Who should I introduce you to?”

“Just tell him we’re old friends.”

“All right.”

After Yonsei disappeared, Jang Man-cheol appeared shortly thereafter.

“You were looking for me?”

Jang Man-cheol looked me up and down.

“Where have we met before? We are strangers… … .”

“You probably won’t remember. It’s been a long time since we met.”

“But why?”

After looking at Jang Man-cheol for a moment, I sighed deeply.

It’s the same.

A huge, muscular body and an innocent face.

A comrade from a previous life who was fascinated by Thor’s power and asked to become his apostle.

But it had no connection with the me of now.

Jang Man-cheol, who had been looking at me silently for a moment, asked again with great caution.

“hey?”

“Mr. Man-cheol, do you believe in past life?”

“What is that…?”

“I knew Mancheol from my previous life.”

so.

“At least I can’t let you die.”

I hit the back of his neck and knocked him out.

“So, please sleep for a while.”

thud.
