Episode 051

Loki looked at me and raised the corners of his mouth.

“I don’t know what I was thinking of asking, but I thought it would be fun, so I’ll tell you. Hephaestus’ murder is being investigated by Ares. He guesses that the culprits are followers of the Yamyeonggoe in Yangju. Zeus seems to think differently.”

“What do you mean you focused on apostates?”

“I think so. “I don’t think you can imagine that it was done by a human being who didn’t receive God’s blessing, right?”

I nodded.

It was natural.

It would be difficult to imagine that an ordinary human would close the Abyss and kill God.

No one can imagine this, so if it is revealed later, the ripple effect will be even greater.

I was satisfied.

The fear of the unknown being engraved in the other person.

‘But it’s still far from enough.’

In order to further increase the ripple effect that would occur later after everything became known, it was necessary to conduct more incidents.

“Ares said he was moving straight towards the Night Monster’s cultists?”

“We won’t move right away. “By the time I left, Horus and Ares were on the verge of a close fight.”

“Horus?”

“Why are you doing that?”

Damn it.

I never thought I would hear that name already.

Normally it wouldn’t be a problem.

The current Horus is a mid-level god, and for a while he was faithfully killing monsters and attacking small Abyss that needed to be dealt with.

However, if the night monster was mentioned, it was a different story.

In his previous life, Horus was tricked by the followers of Nightmare, who said that he could become a great sun god like Ra, and did the foolish thing of calling Nightgoe, the god of the other world, along with them.

‘He gets eaten by the night monster and becomes a monster that shines light in the darkness.’

Horus, a male god with the head of a falcon, was treated as the highest god along with Osiris and Isis in Egyptian mythology.

He was a symbol of the Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and was one of the greatest magicians.

However, when he descended into this world, he became a mid-level god.

Not a high-level god, but a mid-level god.

In Egypt, he was replaced by Ra, the god who symbolized the absolute sun.

He was surpassed by Apollo and Helios, who symbolize the sun in Greece.

Due to his weakened spiritual power, he was even humiliated and compared to the hero Merlin.

Although he has the nickname of the god of wizards and the god of the sky, what he actually symbolizes is.

‘Entitlement and jealousy.’

A fallen god who misses the god-level power he originally had.

That was the current symbol of Horus.

He wanted to become a god who symbolized the sun like Ra, the sun god, and the worshipers of the night monster took advantage of Horus’s weakness.

He deceived Horus and made him a sacrifice to the Nightmare.

Their plan was successful, and the night monster, who absorbed Horus’s divine power, later worked with Azur to pollute the air in Northeast Asia, including Korea, with demonic energy.

‘It would be difficult if Horus was dispatched to the investigation team investigating the night monster.’

It’s not that it’s difficult, it’s absolutely impossible.

If he is dispatched to the investigation team… .

‘We must kill him as quickly as possible.’

I saw Loki.

“You said it was an emergency meeting, right?”

“that’s right.”

“How many intermediate gods participated?”

“Seven people.”

“There are 7 people… . “Has the investigation team for the night monster been officially formed?”

Loki shook his head.

“I don’t know. The atmosphere got sour that it ended midway through. If it weren’t for the night, it would probably come here. “Suddenly, news came that Azur had been subdued.”

“okay?”

If there were seven intermediate gods participating in the meeting, it was unlikely that Horus would participate in the investigation team.

It was then.

“Ah, Horus and Ares are fighting for a part of their faith.”

If I remember correctly, Ares currently has the status of a mid-level god.

Because he lost a significant number of guild members and even his reputation due to the war with Hephaestus, he would not have been promoted to a higher level god.

Horus was also a mid-level god, but their status was clearly different.

Ares is a middle-level god thanks to his nickname the god of war, but he is treated like a high-level god.

Horus is a mid-level god who is also the god of wizards and the god of the sky.

If the two fight, the outcome is obvious.

Horus’s defeat.

So you’ll have a different way of fighting.

“How will we fight?”

“Who will more successfully complete the investigation into the murder of Hephaestus, of which you are the culprit?”

also.

Because I had expected it, there was no emotional turmoil.

It was natural, since no god would want to lose their faith.

however.

‘This is something.’

It was the moment when it became clear that Horus would join the Night Monster’s investigation team.

then… .

‘The next target is Horus.’

Originally, I was planning to attack Ares.

If I get the name and skills of the God of War, it will be of great help to me.

Besides that.

[Encyclopedia Set: Bad Brothers – S+]

[Required encyclopedia: Hephaestus (achieved), Ares]

[???]

There was also a skill encyclopedia obtained when hunting Ares.

Although Ares was the one who wanted this immediate reward… .

‘The hunt for Ares will be postponed for a while.’

This current situation is a future that changed when I captured Hephaestus.

Originally, it would be two years later that Horus would face the believer of the Nightmare.

Devotees of Yamyeonggoe began to operate in northern Gyeonggi Province, centered around Yangju, and several gods were dispatched to subdue them.

Horus fought in the vanguard and encountered the leader of the Night Monster.

After that, he suddenly disappeared and reappeared a few days later, and I saw the night light shining in Horus’ eyes that day.

‘The future is starting to change little by little.’

It was fully expected.

From the time you killed Hephaestus, didn’t you attack various Abyss in preparation for future changes?

It is well within the expected range.

till now.

“What are you thinking? “It seems like you’re more obsessed with Horus than I thought. Are you planning on killing him next?”

I nodded to Loki’s question.

“That’s right.”

“Why him? “I thought for sure I would catch Ares.”

I didn’t bother to answer.

“You’re not going to tell me?”

“Doesn’t Loki of the world think about solving the riddle himself?”

“Tsk, if I tell you, it might be a bit more.”

The guy said, pursing his lips.

“it’s okay. I’ll watch a little more as you said. Instead, we should show scenes that are just as fun.”

“What if it’s not fun?”

“Hehehe, you know.”

The smile that the worst evil boy made was even lifelike.

This is why all the kids who became apostles have their heads turned.

“I think I’m done helping you.”

“okay. “Thank you for the information.”

“We’ll hear the story later about how we conquered the Abyss and how we killed Azur.”

Loki turned his back and saw Jormungand sticking out his tongue next to him.

“Our lovely second child.”

-father.

Jormungand approached Loki.

“I had a hard time alone.”

-no. He just did what he had to do.

“You’re not angry because I didn’t help you, are you?”

Jormungand shook his head.

Even if he was angry, he wasn’t a fool to tell the truth in front of Loki.

-I thought my father had an idea.

“okay. Well thought out. then… .”

Loki asked, brushing Jormungandr’s smooth hair.

At first glance, it was a snake sticking out its tongue and showing affection towards a young boy.

If you didn’t know that the boy was Loki and the snake was Jormungand, it was a scene that warmed your heart.

“Will you follow me?”

-sorry. I have already made a pact with Kim Do-jin.

“It’s an oath.”

Loki smiled satisfied.

What can I say?

This is the look on a boss’s face when he sees a subordinate who has exceeded his goal.

“If you made a pact, there is nothing you can do.”

Loki’s hand, stroking Jormungand’s head, glowed brightly.

“But it’s been a while since I met my son, so I can’t just go…” .”

“I don’t want you to do anything strange to my familiar.”

“Would I really do something like that using my son as bait?”

The crescent moon seen when opening Loki’s purple box appeared on Jormungandr’s forehead and then disappeared.

“I will protect you just once, when you are in danger. “This is a gift to my son whom I haven’t seen in a long time, and a gift to you who brought my son out of loneliness.”

Loki winked at me and gestured, and the space became distorted.

Just like when he came here, he disappeared in an instant.

‘I still need you.’

I planned to show myself to the world through Loki.

An awakened person who has not made a contract with any god.

An awakened person who is human but has power comparable to that of a god.

‘The arrogant gods will think that I am someone to be wary of, and at the same time, if they can handle me, I am a more powerful weapon than anything else.’

At first, the plan was to secretly assassinate the gods one by one.

He worked in secret, out of sight of the gods, and tried to cut off their arms and legs one by one.

Because that was my fighting style in my past life.

However, my thoughts changed after dealing with Azur.

‘The enemy I have to deal with is not just the gods of human history.’

Gods of human history, apostates, and even gods of the other world.

There were too many enemies I had to kill to avoid a future in which all of humanity would be destroyed.

Would the major trends in human history change if we killed each and every god?

I killed Hephaestus.

In the future, the divine weapons used by the gods of human history will be greatly reduced.

The weapons Hephaestus should have made will be lost, and the gods will be weaker than the future I saw.

But that didn’t mean they suffered devastating damage.

Even if he falls short of Hephaestus, someone will appear to take his place, and the relics of the gods did not disappear without him.

Next, let’s assume that Ares is killed.

Someone else will fill the void left by the God of War.

Tyr? No, even if he isn’t, there’s already Thor.

Otherwise, a Chinese or Japanese god will take his place.

The gods would lose some of their power, but there were many gods stronger than him.

So what next?

Stronger gods will wait for me, and my vigilance against godslayers will also increase.

There were too many gods to kill and too strong for one human to deal with.

Gods are still unreliable beings.

But regardless of that, it was well worth using.

I decided to use everything I could.

‘Even if it’s God.’

I saw Jormungand.

The giant dragon of Midgard, now transformed into a small snake.

Loki’s second son.

The guy who was looking at me with his tongue sticking out was also one of my strongest cards.

They say they joined forces to kill Azur, but it was a calculated alliance for mutual benefit.

It took time for me to trust this guy who was bound to me by a contract.

‘In the end, this guy is a mythical being like other gods.’

First, use it as much as you can.

Trusting him comes next.

When the other person gives me complete credit, it is not too late for me to believe.

For me, who had never believed in anyone in my previous life, faith was a very unfamiliar type of thing.

-So what do you plan to do now?

“I’m just organizing my thoughts.”

There are two things I gained from saving Jormungand.

One is the safety of nearby seas, including the east coast.

Not only did it prevent the poison of Jormungand, which would contaminate the East Sea and Pacific Ocean in the near future, but it also prevented the arrival of Mermaids, who would become deadly monsters due to the poison.

The first benefit was that it reduced the damage to humanity that was likely to come in the future.

And secondly, Jormungand itself.

It has now turned into such a small snake, but even so, it is a spirit creature so strong that an average mid-level god cannot even show a business card.

Even though it was only the size of an anaconda, it could easily deal with the apostates’ strange dolls.

Perhaps, if he uses all his power, he will be able to deal with even higher-ranking gods.

Of course, that didn’t mean he could freely use Jormungand.

In order to exert his original strength, he had to increase his size as much as possible.

A giant sea serpent hundreds of meters long attacks God?

The probability of being identified was too high.

‘It’s still difficult.’

The true use of Jormungand was different.

Until then, other gods had to not know that this giant dragon was Jormungand.

-Are you planning on dealing with that Horus guy right away?

“That’s right.”

Thor is an opponent I can’t kill right now.

Even if Jormungand stimulated his fear, a few more weapons were needed to kill him.

‘I need to do the skill combination that appeared when I got Jormungand’s skill, and I need more attack skills to kill Thor.’

So, let’s postpone killing Thor a little bit.

To kill him, you’ll need to be prepared enough to kill a strong enemy.

‘For now, let’s solve the immediate problem first.’

Originally, the target was Ares, but as Jormungand said, the goal changed.

Horus, god of the sky.

An entity that becomes another disaster by being offered as a sacrifice to the night monster.

“First, let’s track him down. “When the right time and the right circumstances come, I will hunt down Horus.”

-I get it.

Jormungand, who was looking at me closely, said.

-Now that I think about it, it seems like you and your father are on an old relationship?

“We met unintentionally. “I made a decent deal with him.”

-This is the first time I have seen a person who is still fine after making a deal with his father.

Jormungand looked up and down my body.

The look in his eyes was as if he was wondering how he was alive.

“Loki is an uncontrollable crazy guy.”

-It seems like your father liked it. Seeing the blessings given to us.

“Now that I think about it, what is the magic cast on you?”

-Just once, our father’s power will protect us. I can only express it that way.

It’s Loki’s grace.

God’s grace may be reluctant, but it helps when you need it.

I decided to use anything.

“Let’s go back first. “We’ve taken care of those who threatened the village, so our work here is done.”

-I get it. Since I belong to you, I will follow you wherever you go.

We returned to Seoul.

To capture Horus.
