Episode 143

I got Mjolnir.

I took out Thor’s soul and finally did it.

-What happened?

Jormungand asked me when I came to my senses.

His eyes were now looking back and forth between Mjolnir in my hand and me.

“I lost my mind and fought Thor’s spirit. It was a fight on the condition that if I lost, he would take my body.”

-… Did you win?

“Yeah. If not, Thor would have taken over my body by now.”

-That’s a little creepy. Dojin, without you, we wouldn’t have been able to defeat the monster called Thor.

Jormungandr looked at me after finishing speaking.

-So is Thor completely dead?

“Yeah. He’s dead.”

Now that even his soul has been destroyed, there is no way he will ever be resurrected.

-That’s fortunate.

“Why is your expression like that?”

I felt like I could somehow read the expression on Jormungand’s snake-faced face.

He looked depressed.

The guy who was sticking his tongue out narrowed his eyebrows.

-I wanted to kill him. I wanted to kill him with my own hands at the end.

“Because I persecuted you?”

-There are reasons for that, but the biggest reason is that we couldn’t reach a conclusion to the match.

In mythology, Thor and Jormungandr killed each other and died heroically.

It seemed like that still remained as a grudge.

-There’s nothing we can do about it. Who can we blame for the fact that he died because he was weak?

Jormungandr laughed softly and his tongue twitched.

– Since I couldn’t kill Thor, I guess I’ll have to put a poisonous tooth in Odin’s shoulder.

“You can do it.”

Hearing that, Jormungand lowered his voice and asked.

-How far do you plan to go in killing the gods?

It was a question I had already asked myself several times.

How far must I go to eliminate the gods?

Which gods should be killed and which gods should be saved?

The conclusion has already been made.

“… all gods that are harmful to humanity are possible.”

-What if God is not like that?

“Then there is no need to kill.”

-I see.

A brief silence followed.

Jormungandr, who was deep in thought, asked me.

-What about Athena? Is she a harmless goddess?

“Athena….”

I saw Athena outside, cleaning up the scene.

She, like other gods, was a god who tried to become stronger by capturing other world gods.

There’s only one thing different about her.

‘I will destroy the existing order created by Zeus.’

Her goals intertwined with my needs, and we helped each other.

It was the same this time too.

He asked her to deal with Thor’s disciples and guild members.

So that they cannot interfere with the fight between me and Thor.

She readily granted my request.

Athena and her guild members held off attacks from Thor’s disciples as well as from other gods who came to assist them.

She was a huge help in helping us win against Thor.

but.

‘Isn’t Athena just like other gods?’

What is the new order she wants to create?

In the end, if she is going to fight the other world’s god and go down the path to destruction, isn’t she just like other gods?

“I have to see.”

-You see?

“I’ll watch what choices she makes. And if she makes the wrong choice….”

-Are you trying to kill me?

“I guess so.”

A future where everyone dies can be avoided.

-Okay, but what was that wrong choice?

I answered Jormungand’s question calmly.

“Fighting the gods of the other world.”

-Is that wrong?

“okay.”

-If the other gods say they won’t fight the god of the other world, will you spare them?

“okay.”

-I see. I understand.

As if he had heard a satisfactory answer, Jormungand left the room without any hesitation.

Jormungandr left, and I saw Mjolnir.

Thor, master of Mjolnir.

Even in his previous life, he was active in the front lines without dying until the final war.

‘No. I killed them and absorbed their power.’

Just like I am doing now.

He advances by killing and killing rival gods to gain greater power.

And at the end of it.

A future awaited them where they would become other-worldly gods.

‘In the world of the other world, there is no one who believes in them and relies on them.’

There are only monsters who move only by anger and instinct, without any will.

Like an otherworldly god in the Abyss who survives without the faith of his creatures.

Most of the gods now wished to become just like him.

Of course, there are gods that are not like that.

There are also those who, like Hades, are confined to the underworld and cry out for their own desires.

There are those who prioritize their current strength over evolution to a higher dimension.

But the majority.

‘I am following the order created by Zeus, Odin, and Ra.’

Led by the Creator God.

“You killed Thor, so now you’re Odin.”

He killed Osiris in Egypt and Thor in Northern Europe.

Now, you won’t just be watching.

I’m going to scream something worse than a death warrant.

‘The Lord will personally come out to the front and attack me.’

Why hasn’t it been done before?

This was because there were still many abysses that had not been organized.

But now that things have gotten this big, they’re going to try to kill me even if it means ignoring the Abyss that hasn’t been sorted out.

Because there is symbolism in Thor and Osiris that I killed.

then.

‘We have to fight.’

There is no reason to avoid it.

Now that Thor has been killed, there is no place to retreat.

And I can fill the void that Thor left behind.

‘I can kill the other world god for you.’

It won’t be easy.

But the Mjolnir in my hands and the many powers of the gods that I possess.

If you make good use of the advantage of attaining divinity and being able to command apostles, there is nothing you cannot do.

‘It’s not easy to face all three gods alone. But that doesn’t mean there’s no way.’

At that moment, the relief of having killed Thor and the thought of the gods I would face later made me lose all my strength.

It was a time when I sighed deeply at the feeling of powerlessness.

“You look like you have a lot on your mind.”

An unfamiliar voice was heard.

A nasty sound, like someone scratching your ears with a wire.

Let’s furrow our brows and look towards where the sound is coming from.

A man with the head of a black jackal was staring at me, teeth bared, while surrounded by black smoke.

At first glance it looks like a frown, but it’s actually a smiling face.

The guy who glares at me with blood-red eyes wearing monocles.

“…set?”

It was the Egyptian god, Set.

If Osiris is the god of the underworld, Set is the god of death.

To be precise, he was closer to the god of chaos.

A god who brings chaos like Loki of Northern Europe.

However, after coming to this world, he opened a cafe, cut ties with the secular world, and focused on making delicious coffee rather than spreading his faith.

It was like that in my past life too.

A god who survived until the final war, but never served on the front lines.

He was right in front of me now.

“You recognized me at a glance.”

“He’s a celebrity. How can you not know the CEO who has branches all over the world?”

“Isn’t that why?”

The jackal’s vertically slit pupils smiled at me.

“Aren’t you a god-slayer who even created that list in order to kill gods?”

“I guess I’ve become quite famous.”

“It’s become too famous to be summed up in words.”

“So what happened?”

The set opened its mouth, taking off its monocle, which gave it a heavy air.

“Before you killed Thor, you killed Osiris?”

“… You figured it out sooner than I thought.”

“But we’re brothers.”

“Have you come here to seek revenge?”

“No way. I have no connection with you anymore.”

The set laughed and laughed.

As he waved his hand, a coffee cup appeared in the air.

A dark brown liquid dripped down into a white mug that looked like magic.

Coffee from the Chaos God Set.

The set spoke to me as I savored the deep-flavored drink that tempted others like the devil.

“On the contrary. I came to help you.”

“Me? You?”

Why?

The last words were swallowed.

I felt like I knew it somehow.

“God, I wish you would kill the sun god Ra.”

“Why?”

“For the same reason as you.”

“… … .”

“Aren’t you trying to prevent the destruction of humanity?”

The jackal’s eyes lit up as he looked at me.

Did you know?

how?

“When you went to the Library of Knowledge, I confirmed that you had access to information about the Otherworld and us.”

Before I could answer, Set spoke.

“That’s a strange thing to say.”

A smile appeared on Set’s face as he took off his mask.

“It’s no use trying to hide it. I heard this information directly from the Library of Knowledge, using my authority.”

“…You have the authority to give me that level of authority?”

“Yeah. Since we each took one, isn’t it a fair trade?”

It was information that could not be viewed unless you were a senior official.

That means that Set has also risen to the ranks of the Lord.

“I’m just saying that there were various circumstances.”

After finishing speaking, Set took a sip of coffee.

“I don’t want to lose the customers who love my coffee either. I have no reason to control them. The world has changed, so the gods must change too, but those old farts don’t even think about listening.”

“So you’re going to change it?”

“Yes. Just as Athena did, just as Loki did. I too will help you with your grand plan.”

Perhaps Set is one of the gods who has adapted to this society better than anyone else.

To the point where you can create your own company and expand your business.

Unlike other gods, he did not establish his foundation through the Abyss industry.

Regardless of conquering the Abyss, he created a world-class company using only coffee.

While other gods joined the civilization created by humans because of the fame they had as gods, he created the foundation for himself.

You can be treated even without the Abyss.

“It would be a good thing for you if there were no Abyss.”

“You’ve read that far? Your brain works faster than I thought. Then the conversation will be easier.”

The smiling set waved their hands again, and this time an antique chair appeared.

Set continued speaking, sitting on a soft-looking chair with his legs crossed.

“That’s right. I want a world without the Abyss.”

“If that happens, then his status as a god will also disappear?”

“I don’t need it anymore.”

The set drank their coffee with light smiles.

“I intend to eliminate the old farts who are obsessed with the Abyss and create a world where there are no more crises. As you know, this disaster is the result of the work of the three gods and the creator god. If I kill them, the trials will end, the Abyss will no longer open, and the gods will lose their power.”

If the Creator disappears, the Abyss will also disappear.

It was a similar story to the Library of Knowledge.

“…The gods are leading this disaster?”

“yes.”

“If you know that, why don’t you just reveal this fact?”

“Are you serious? Do you think revealing that will change the situation? Who will believe you? Even if they do, who will close the Abyss that has not yet been closed?”

He was talking about the tragedy that would occur if humanity went to war with God, the only option, before the war with the Abyss had even ended.

“It’s difficult.”

“You know that I went out hunting for gods alone, right?”

I nodded.

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since you killed Osiris, I have no reason to hesitate, so I came to you.”

If a full-scale fight with the Lords were to break out, even a little help would be needed.

The set was an exquisite help in such a situation.

As if the devil’s whisper came to grant a wish.

‘Can you trust him?’

well.

This man was someone I hadn’t encountered often in my previous life, so I couldn’t know his true intentions.

Like Loki.

“How can I help you?”

“Public opinion. And I will lend a hand when you kill Ra. Ra’s death is something I also wish for.”

After finishing speaking, Set held out his hand.

“What do you think? Will you join hands with me to kill the sun god Ra? Or will you reject my offer and go your own way again?”

There was only one answer.

“…There is no reason to refuse.”

I took the set in my hands.

His hands were very cold.

“Okay. Since we are allies with the same goal, I will help you wholeheartedly.”
