Chapter 082

“Why are you looking for Valkyrie? “Athena is asking for an explanation.”

Is it because I entered Athena’s pantheon?

Inside the Pantheon, Monos, who can hear Athena’s will, heard Athena’s words right away and relayed them to me indirectly.

“It’s simple. “I need one more ingredient.”

“You mean the ingredients?”

“okay.”

“… … .”

Monos closed his eyes for a moment.

Then I opened my eyes again.

Her eyes had changed from their original blue to Athena’s gray eyes.

“You’d better be honest.”

Although she had the voice of Monos, her tone of voice was that of Athena.

“Did you trick me?”

I can feel the life in Athena’s eyes.

“I emphasize once again, you are the human who killed my brother Hephaestus. “The reason I’m keeping you alive is because I still have some use for you.”

Although she spoke with the face and voice of Monos, an energy unique to Athena rose from her body.

An ultimate god who is never defeated and blessed by Nike, the goddess of war and victory.

The eyes of the god who killed countless monsters and otherworldly gods glared at my chest to the point of coldness.

“If you have deceived me, do not expect mercy.”

I looked into her eyes.

I meant it.

“Is that possible?”

“But why are you suddenly mentioning Valkyrie?”

“I told you. “I need materials.”

“Even when I said I needed to get Fenrir, you said you needed materials. “Where are those ingredients?”

The need to save Fenrir to create the Aegis was a lie to get Athena’s help.

In the first place, Aegis was an item that had nothing to do with Fenrir.

“I don’t think the Gleipnir you recovered will be used as material for the Aegis. “I know the effects of that item better than anyone else.”

“As the god of war, you probably know more about weapons than anyone else. I know.”

“If you know that, Gleipnir is all you have in your hands.”

“yes. you’re right.”

“Did you lie to me?”

“I’m not lying.”

“How to prove it?”

A way to prove it.

She wanted new materials to make Aigis.

Therefore, I firmly believed that I would bring materials that could be used for it from Elfheim.

But the new material she wants is not in my hands right now.

okay. If it is a mineral, there is none.

Instead of answering, I took out the hammer of Hephaestus.

This hammer was the reason why I confidently told her that I could obtain the materials to make the Aegis, even though I knew there were no materials to make the Aegis in Elfheim.

Because I believed.

[The history book level is insufficient to bring out the power of God. – Limited level LV. 20]

One line of text from the earth explosion effect.

This means that the level is still insufficient to bring out the power of God.

In other words, if you can achieve the level, you can draw out the power of God.

I had predicted that Hephaestus’ power would not be for combat.

In fact, what Hephaestus awakened after obtaining this hammer was not his combat ability, but the ability to create items.

He was able to create higher grade weapons, and even became a true blacksmith god who could even create divine weapons.

A stranger would have said it was a reckless gamble, but I believed it.

When you reach level 20, this skill will awaken production-related abilities.

So I took a gamble.

“Is it your brother’s hammer again? “That tactic no longer works.”

And when I actually reached level 20, I got a new effect.

[Additional effect: When making equipment, if you use Earth Explosion, you can create SSS-level items.]

The moment I saw this, I was convinced that I could make Aegis.

“You’ll know when you see it.”

“If you’re trying to deceive me again with that three-inch tongue… … .”

I used Earth Blast while holding the hammer.

Athena, who resided in Monos’ body, also took a fighting stance so that she could fight right away.

Quaaaang!

Flames strong enough to burn down the entire building in an ordinary tailor shop shot out from the hammer.

Of course, it could have an impact on the Pantheon, where Athena’s blessing resides.

Grumble!

Athena’s eyes changed when she saw the fire rising from the hammer.

“You’ve grown.”

“It was completed properly.”

“Is that flame the material you mentioned?”

“yes. A good weapon starts with good ore and, of course, flame.”

“… “I can feel your power in the fire.”

“you’re right. “This is the fire that Hephaestus himself used in mythology.”

“Thanks to saving Fenrir, you were able to use it?”

I delayed answering for a moment.

“I gained new insight in the process of rescuing Fenrir.”

She closed her mouth.

“Now there is only one thing left.”

“ore?”

“yes. We need very high quality ore.”

Athena’s anger gradually subsided.

“But why do you need Valkyrie?”

She still had doubts.

It’s probably because of the fact that he freed Loki’s son.

“I plan to go to the underworld through them.”

“Uncle Hades wouldn’t be interested in Norse angels.”

“The place they are going is not the underworld of Hades.”

“then?”

“Just as a caterpillar needs to eat pine needles, shouldn’t a Valkyrie go to the underworld of Northern Europe? “I’m going to Niflheim, where Loki’s youngest child, Hel, is.”

Athena closed her mouth.

“Are you going to bring ore from there? “How can there be a mineral that can create the Aegis in the Viking underworld?”

“That’s because Amaltheia is there.”

Amaltheia.

A nurse who raised young Zeus, and a she-goat who gave her skin to make the Aegis shield.

Athena shook her head in disbelief when told that the woman who would have become a star in the sky was in Niflheim.

“No way. When Amaltheia died, she became Capella, a star in the sky. Why is she in Niflheim?”

“You can see that many things were distorted in the process of descending into this world.”

“How did you know that?”

Instead of answering, I looked at Suyeon Lee.

Suyeon Lee, who exchanged glances with me for a moment, blinked and looked at me.

Athena looked at her with an incomprehensible expression for a moment and narrowed her eyes.

“You’re lying.”

“I’m not lying. “It’s a fact she inferred because she heard it from her.”

In her previous life, Sooyeon Lee had records of almost all mythical beings.

The story about Amaltheia was one of them.

-The descent of God, the separation of the underworld, and the process of multiple dimensions becoming one and separating caused many distortions. Things like various versions of the story being mixed up arbitrarily, or beings that shouldn’t exist in another world, etc.

Suyeon Lee had told me that Amaltheia, or rather Capella, was in Niflheim.

The answer was that she also did not know why Capella was there.

At that time, Capella was already dead.

“Is Capella really there?”

“I’m not 100 percent sure.”

“That means there is a possibility.”

“you’re right.”

“I will go too. If Capella is really there, send Monos… … .”

“It’s not possible.”

“Why?”

Athena glared at me.

“That’s right, if someone else joins you, your plans will be disrupted.”

“… Even if what you say is true, how can I trust you?”

“Are you entrusting this mission to a man you can’t trust?”

“… You have too many secrets. Haven’t you already fooled me once? “How can I trust someone who tried to deceive me?”

“I swear. “I will go to Niflheim and make Aegis right away.”

I put my hand on my chest.

“I swear on Styx, if you want.”

“You are very confident.”

“Think of it as confidence based on skills.”

“You know what it means to swear on the River Styx, right? “It is also true that none of those who spoke about that river met a good ending.”

“I know.”

I know better than anyone else.

I have seen many people despair because of the oath on the River Styx.

After thinking for a moment, she opened her mouth.

“good. Let’s do as he said. I swear by the River Styx. “I will make Aegis as soon as I return from Niflheim.”

“All right.”

“If you, a human, fail to keep this oath, you will be lost in the sea of ​​eternal death.”

“I know.”

I already saw one.

A human who made a mistake by swearing an oath to the River Styx and became a dog of Hades forever.

So I had no intention of breaking this promise.

“good. Then wait. “How long will it take?”

“I will be back within a month.”

“good. Monos is not going with you on this expedition.”

“All right.”

The reason for excluding Monos was simple.

Perhaps it’s because she’s worried about what might happen if she goes down to the underworld and regains her past memories.

The memories of Arachne, not Monos.

She cut it off herself.

“It would be best to keep your word of coming back within a month. “I have a long back end.”

With those words, Athena’s power within Monos faded.

“What did you say?”

As soon as he woke up, Monos asked.

“I didn’t say much. “We talked about our next schedule.”

“It looks like you were very angry. I can still feel his anger. “I can even feel the hostility towards Dojin.”

“You must have been very angry. “I said I couldn’t make Aigis now.”

“… “Why did you do that?”

“I had no choice. I really can’t make it. “It is a divine weapon in its own way, but it is not something you can make just because you want to.”

“… … .”

“Not even the omnipotent Athena can know. That’s how it’s made.”

I sighed as I watched Monos remain silent.

“It can’t be helped. “These are all difficulties faced by practitioners.”

Monos did not bother to deny it.

As a middle manager, she feels it too.

“We won’t be able to join you on this expedition. “Athena told me not to go.”

I nodded at Monos’ words.

“I already heard it from you.”

“Then where should I send you?”

“Please send it to Yeongdeungpo, where we visited.”

My group and I went out to the tailor shop in Yeongdeungpo, just like we did before.

“I’ve experienced this several times, but it’s really amazing.”

Lee Soo-yeon said as she looked at the changing scenery every time she opened the same door and came out.

“But saying that in front of God makes my heart sink every time I see it.”

She waved her hand and continued speaking.

“I mean the goddess Athena. Contrary to her image, she is a god who is more stubborn than she thinks and often acts evil when she does not like him. The most famous one is the Arachne story, but the way she curses Medusa for making love at her temple is also very authoritative. Because of her abilities, looks, and being loved by Zeus, her ego is very strong… … .”

It started again.

Su-yeon Lee must have relaxed after returning to Korea, and started talking about the various legends of Athena in her characteristic motor-like tone.

“You know what? It’s a weird story, but there’s also a story that Athena was actually a man who disguised himself as a woman to survive Zeus. This was to deceive Zeus, who was frightened by the idea that if he were born male, he would take the throne and kill his father. Perhaps that’s why there are stories of people often participating in battlefields disguised as men.”

As she spoke as if running on a motor, Fenrir toddled on his short legs next to her.

-Does meeting Valkyrie mean joining hands with Odin?

I can’t get used to the voice.

I shook my head at the deep voice that contrasted with her cute appearance.

“no. Among the Valkyries, there is also one who has a falling out with Odin.”

-is it? Surprisingly. These are guys who acted like they would be loyal their entire lives.

After speaking, I immediately called Gunther.

“Gunther, how have you been?”

-Oh, Dojin. It’s been a while. What’s going on?

“I’m contacting you because I have a favor to ask you.”

-Say anything. Because I can grant any request you make.

“Let’s go see Brünnhilde together.”

-what?
