Chapter 066

“I get it. “That’s a fun plan.”

Loki responded with a smile after hearing what I said.

He also immediately understood what it meant.

As rumors grow and grow, it becomes impossible to tell whether they are true or false.

Some will be suspicious, some will be curious, and some will be jealous.

There’s only one thing I can do there.

Approaching people who are curious about me.

I plan to take advantage of their curiosity.

A human who single-handedly defeated the apostates of the night monster and the god of the other world, Azur.

A human with the power to kill Hephaestus.

A person who has received Loki’s attention and has Jormungandr as his familiar.

And one who does not belong to any god.

At least mid-level gods will covet the abilities I have.

“I’ll spread rumors as you wish. “If it came out of my mouth, you wouldn’t be able to tell if it was true or false.”

Loki, who was thinking for a moment, looked at me and said.

“Then, instead of granting your request, I also have a favor to ask. Will you grant it?”

“It’s possible, except you ask me to kill Odin right away.”

That’s something I can’t do.

And there was no need to approach him yet.

“It’s not such an unreasonable request. “It’s the kind of work you can do.”

His eyes turned to Jormungand.

“I have two more children besides Jormungand.”

“Hel and Fenrir?”

“okay. His eldest son Fenrir and his youngest daughter Hel.”

“Why are they coming out all of a sudden?”

Loki’s three siblings who caused Ragnarok.

It was a name that anyone who knew Norse mythology would never know.

“Loki’s three siblings!”

Lee Su-yeon’s eyes widened.

Leaving her fussing at the appearance of a familiar name, I waited for Loki’s answer.

“I want you to set them free.”

“… … .”

“They are both as isolated as Jormungand for their own reasons.”

Know.

Everything about why those two were sealed and where they were sealed.

Fenrir, the wolf who swallowed a god.

Perhaps because of the mythical story of being tied to the gods because of overconfidence in his own power, he was a spirit creature who especially hated the gods among the three siblings.

For the crime of eating five lower-class gods and one middle-class god, he is locked in an underground cave in Elvenheim.

A spirit entity that was isolated for reasons different from Jormungand.

Just like Jormungand later, Fenrir was also subjugated by the gods.

The crime is murder.

Unlike the other two siblings, the youngest daughter Hel was worshiped as the goddess of the underworld, so she was mysteriously somewhere between a god and a spirit being.

One half of her body was a beautiful girl, but the other half of her body was an ugly old woman.

She was checked by Hades and Yeomra, gods of the underworld in other myths, and was always threatened by other gods who wanted her as a god.

Moreover, unlike other gods, she had no allies actively protecting her, so she became isolated among the gods for a different reason than her two brothers.

After subduing Jormungand in his previous life, Thor actively appealed that all the disasters that caused Ragnarok should be punished, so public opinion boiled over to subdue all three siblings.

‘They insisted that the disaster in the East Sea was all because of Jormungand. Loki’s three siblings also claimed that it was a disaster in itself.’

That worked well.

In an increasingly polluted land and an overflow of monsters and the Abyss, people consumed by fear began to blindly trust God more than before and blindly followed their will without any doubt.

‘The guild members are already in a relationship with the gods.’

In a situation where madness was rampant, all Loki could do was watch.

‘Loki has always had the ability to save his children.’

Perhaps even now, if he wants, he can save them from isolation.

But Loki neglected them.

Even in a desperate situation, he took a step back, saying there was nothing he could do.

As if they deserved to die.

As someone who had seen the end of all three siblings in a previous life, Loki’s request to help them was unfamiliar.

Because I never imagined that Loki would ask for it first.

“Isolated?”

“okay. Fenrir is in an underground cave that is almost like a prison. I don’t know where Hel is. “The only thing is that he himself put up a wall and hid himself.”

Loki, who practically neglected his children in his previous life, is asking me to save them.

What is the reason?

“I can’t stand to see a child suffering from a poor father.”

Loki added as if making an excuse.

‘Have doubts, but use what you can as much as possible.’

Just like it always has been.

“Instead, I won’t care what happens to the children I rescued. “Just like you did to our sweet Jormungand.”

Loki said, gently stroking Jormungand’s body.

“I get it. Give and take. “Let’s give it to each other.”

“Then, I’ll believe it.”

Loki stood up with an unusually bright smile.

I don’t believe that that expression came from relief that he would be able to save his children.

God of fraud and deception.

Someone you should never trust.

The relationship is still maintained because we still need each other… .

‘What if there is no need for it? Or what if it has outlived its usefulness?’

He was a god who would abandon him more mercilessly than anyone else.

Because I know that, I just use him.

As always, with a mask on your face.

“I probably won’t have time to look after you for a while. “I’m too busy for one reason or another.”

It was something I was thankful for.

Because it meant that I wouldn’t have to worry about him from now on.

“Could it be because of Thor?”

“… “I know very well.”

“I guess Thor is suspicious of you.”

“that’s right. I think it was me who solved the Abyss and freed Jormungand. Besides, the person suspected of Hephaestus’ murder happened to be nearby, right?”

Loki continued, waving his fingers.

“They were deducing that I might have killed Hephaestus. “Isn’t it surprising that he has muscles all the way to his head?”

“I know what you mean.”

“Of course, I won’t stop you if you use my name. Because I gave you a ‘request’. “You know what I mean?”

I nodded.

After speaking, Loki returned through the portal he had come out of.

Slurp.

As soon as the dimension door closed, Lee Soo-yeon, who had been listening to this story with bated breath, opened her mouth and exclaimed in admiration.

“It was the real Rocky! This is my first time seeing the real thing. “Do you look younger than I thought?”

“You are faking what you see with magic.”

“Is that so? Well, it’s strange that Loki reveals his true self. By the way. Why is he asking us to save his children?”

Suyeon Lee asked me with a face full of curiosity.

“If you save it yourself, it means that someone is paying attention. Or maybe there is a plan that should not be caught by other gods.”

“Then of course Odin… ?”

“I’m sure it’s not just Odin. “Doesn’t Loki have many enemies?”

She nodded as if she understood.

“That’s right. “There are probably a few hundred gods who were defrauded by Loki.”

I went back to Seoul thinking about why Rocky had made such a request.

Since I even destroyed the night monster’s holy relic, there was nothing more for me to do here.

* * *

As a result, the effect of asking Loki was clear.

-There is news that Horus, the god of the sky who set out to suppress apostates, has died. Loki, who discovered the scene, revealed that Horus had been killed during a fierce battle with the Apostate. It is said that the apostate who killed Horus was subdued by one person.

-Did you say that the main character who subdued the apostates was an awakened person without a guild?

-Yes, according to Loki’s information.

Along with the news of Horus’ death, news of the suppression of apostates spread.

-The Horus Guild is known to have lost all of its major apostles, including Horus himself. In response, Egypt’s highest god, Ra, expressed his condolences for the death of Horus and promised to respond with complete suppression of the apostates… .

Everyone looked at the news in shock.

“He really died?”

“Hehe, Horus was a very famous god.”

“Is the apostate that strong?”

“Aren’t we in danger too?”

“But they said it was subjugated by humans who weren’t part of the guild.”

“Then doesn’t this mean that Horus is weaker than we thought?”

“is it?”

Most people were simply surprised that God had died.

There was more focus on the death of Horus rather than curiosity about the people who subdued the apostate who killed Horus.

“That new head, he only believed in the prestige of his past and installed it, and it’s ugly.”

“The guild members there were also arrogant.”

“Honestly, what can I do other than fly fast?”

“Horus, you are good at using magic, but aren’t all the guild members also wizards?”

“That’s what a bird’s head is like.”

Guilds that were not on good terms with Horus even laughed at his death.

The ridicule began with Horus’s guild members and extended to the gods they believed in.

“Horus nieiim! “Huh!”

“no… .”

Believers in Horus sobbed while wearing black mourning clothes.

“Then, will Helios absorb Horus’ guild members?”

“Oh, of course the sun god Ra will take that power. “It’s the same Egyptian god.”

“I don’t know. Isn’t it important where the believers go? “You both had a bad relationship with Horus.”

There were also those who were watching the prospects for the remaining Horus Guild’s sphere of influence.

“It’s noisy. It feels like a famous person has died. “In the past, when news came out that a star had died, this was the reaction.”

Suyeon Lee looked at those people and whispered to me.

“Now God has become a star. He is a celebrity and a sports star. Before it was an object of faith. Of course, the death of an omnipotent and omnipotent god will come as a shock to those who believed in him… .”

For those who didn’t, it was just a piece of social news.

Although the gods were an important part of this world, there were so many gods that they were overflowing.

Perhaps Horus’ vacancy would soon be filled.

‘We must become stronger.’

We must become stronger and kill the gods who are exerting overwhelming control.

We had to find a way to kill them, create a power vacuum, and overthrow the rule of the gods.

It’s not easy.

Because we had to destroy the balance and subdue the gods of the other world together.

‘I need you on my side.’

This is my side that is bound for practical reasons, whether it is a contract or a financial aid relationship.

Like Jormungand.

Coincidentally, there was a request from Loki, so he rescued Fenrir and Hel and made them on his side.

At the same time, if a god who is interested in me approaches me, I pretend to secretly form an alliance with him and take advantage of him.

I had a picture in my head, but how to make it come true was a different story.

-Taste guaranteed by your friend, Hercules! The best energy drink! Health Friend!

Meanwhile, a promotion for an energy drink promoted by the hero Hercules was seen on the electronic display board.

-It’s two thousand won.

Among the products filled with convenience stores, there was nothing that was not influenced by the gods.

It was clearly visible that the gods did not simply protect this world, but had penetrated deep into everyday life.

It’s definitely not easy, but… .

I know that if we remain optimistic about this brief moment of peace, the daily life that everyone takes for granted will be shattered.

“What are you thinking like that?”

“it’s nothing.”

Suyeon Lee spoke to me while I was lost in thought.

“But where are we going?”

“I’m going to the tailor shop.”

“A tailor? Why is there… ?”

“The items you need to save Fenrir are there.”

Suyeon Lee blinked and looked at me.
