Chapter 093

I looked down at the Capella in my hand.

Before it changed, it was an ore the size of a house.

However, from the moment Capella acknowledged that it was a material and changed, its size became smaller, so small that it could be held with both hands.

‘If I make a shield, I’ll be done with just a little bit left.’

Even if we take a rough estimate, there will still be minerals left even after making all the Aegis for Athena.

‘We can repair Gleipnir with the remaining Capella.’

We had enough stuff, so now it was time to take action.

“What are you going to do about that?”

Hel asked me.

“We are going to manufacture weapons. One with a shield, the other with a sword.”

-Are you really planning on giving that shield to Athena?

Jormungand, who had seen the entire process since the deal with Athena, asked.

“okay. “First of all, we made a promise and made a deal.”

-But if that happens, Athena may have excessive power.

Jormungand swallowed back his words.

I knew what that meant.

The question was whether it was an act that was contrary to my purpose of killing God.

There are many ears listening, so you should refrain from doing so.

If he gave the Aegis to Athena as he said, he would be giving her ridiculously strong power.

Now that the shield has been obtained, Athena will go hunting Medusa to strengthen the shield, and if she succeeds there. Her power will rise several levels higher.

‘I will be able to gather the level of faith you gave me while working on the front lines.’

Nevertheless, there were two reasons why this shield should be made for her.

One was because of the tradition of Athena.

-The son born to Zeus and Metis will overthrow Zeus.

Why Zeus had no choice but to swallow Metis.

It was because of a prophecy that her son would overthrow her place.

However, the child born was a girl, and she was Athena.

Goddess of war and wisdom, born fully armed from the head of Zeus.

‘In her past life, Athena tried to continue her legacy.’

He said that he was the right one to succeed Zeus.

-How long must we keep old customs in a changing world?

Although it ultimately failed, her challenge caused great internal strife among the gods.

The stronger Athena becomes, the greater the internal strife will become.

That’s exactly what I was aiming for.

The internal strife of the gods.

Just like Ares and Hephaestus did, they will continue to drive divisions and divisions between them, gradually deepening into it.

He prevents the Abyss as much as possible while encouraging internal strife among the gods.

And the other one… .

“Let’s go back to our castle first. “It would be difficult to be exposed to this place for a long time.”

Hel said to me as I was lost in thought.

“Of course. “I need a blacksmith to use this.”

I couldn’t return to Nidavellir in the current situation.

It was this Capella that protected Hel from other gods of the underworld.

At least you should take responsibility for making things like this.

I took Capella and spoke to Reginleif.

“Can I ask you a favor?”

“What is it?”

“Tell this to Monos at Athena’s Tailor Shop. “Now that you’ve found Capella, please come to the palace in Niflheim.”

“Is that okay?”

“yes.”

She looked at me for a moment.

She had been negative ever since she first came to Niflheim.

He didn’t say anything about Fenrir and Jormungand, whom I had already rescued, but he seemed to be thinking about it for a long time, perhaps because the thought of helping Hel was on his mind.

That’s probably still the case now.

A look of discomfort that cannot be hidden on the face.

She still didn’t seem to understand the idea of ​​helping Hel.

I completely understand.

Because the resentment between Valkyrie and the dead of Niflheim is deep.

I knew this because I too had a similar experience.

“You asked me to think about it, right? “Why are you helping the queen of Niflheim?”

“Have you reached a conclusion?”

She shook her head.

“I haven’t gotten off yet. To me, all I can feel here is the smell of death emanating from the dead and the memories of Ragnarok.”

Ragnarok.

The three brothers who were once called disasters were in front of Reginleif.

When I first brought Fenrir and Jormungandr, they were Valkyries who did not show it on the outside.

But now she was glaring at them, her face full of anger.

The experience of death, and the experience of the end.

It will be a memory not easily forgotten.

How many giants and dead people must have died at the hands of her who fought on Odin’s side?

“It is impossible for Valkyrie of Courage to help Niflheim. “I doubt even Brünnhilde will reject it.”

“Reginleif is not Brunnhilde.”

“… that’s right. “I am not Brünnhilde.”

Reginleif’s face looked lonely.

The mythical things she experienced must have happened in their world.

Just like the past life I experienced.

But after the world changed and the stage changed, they changed.

For God to become a higher level being.

Heroes and spirits do not repeat the mistakes they made in their past lives.

The gods and spirits reconciled, saying that they would not have to face the same future as in the myth.

But not everyone held hands like that.

Not everyone thought the same way.

There were still many people who brought back grudges from their past lives.

They just hide it instead of showing it to the outside.

Just like I did.

I know how selfish my request is.

But now I had to be more selfish than anyone else.

I am not a hero.

However, it is not a spirit creature with great power.

If we are not selfish, we will not be able to overcome the gods who descend on this world and use us as food to survive for themselves.

So I too joined hands with God.

Make a deal with Athena, and in return she will make you a weapon.

“Didn’t you decide to become enemies with Odin? “Didn’t you decide to take action after hearing their plan?”

“That and this are different. Joining hands with the dead to defeat Odin… .”

It doesn’t make sense.

That’s probably what she wants to say.

“Then how long do you plan to stay locked in that room?”

“yes?”

“Has anything changed by making Odin your enemy and the dead of Niflheim as your enemy?”

“… … .”

He was just constantly locked in his room, hiding his laziness for the sake of the greater good and to disguise himself to catch the enemy off guard.

I don’t know what the Valkyries’ true intentions are, but up until now, they were just cowards who were afraid of fighting Odin.

“Even though Brünnhilde has fallen into eternal sleep due to Odin’s curse and cannot wake up, I will not stop her if she continues to hold on to old grudges.”

“… … .”

“Gunther.”

“okay. Dojin-gun.”

“Please do me a favor.”

Gunther came out and looked at Reginleif.

It was then.

“no. “I will go and come back.”

Reginleif spoke first.

“But promise me one thing. “I think we can lift Brünnhilde’s curse.”

“It will be possible soon.”

“… All right. I believe that. “Because he is a man who passed our test.”

Reginleif spread his Valkyrie wings.

When he was with us, his wings, which he could not spread for various reasons, flew through the sky with a radiant light.

When she was gone, Gunther asked me:

“Are you sure it’s okay? If it goes away like that… .”

“Reginleif will bring Athena.”

After leaving Reginleif, I headed to her palace with Hel.

To make weapons and armor using Capella.

* * *

“This castle is colder than you can imagine.”

Hehehe!

A bone-chillingly cold wind blew from Hel’s castle, Nagrind.

And there was no sign of life in her snow-covered palace, Eljudnir.

“You don’t even pretend to be popular.”

“… “After coming to this world, everything disappeared.”

“Are you saying there are no soldiers to protect you?”

“Maybe.”

Was it because of this?

The reason why gods from other worlds targeted her domain.

Only then did it feel like it was clicking into place.

Since there was nothing, they came in from outside to steal it.

Because I had no strength, I ran away and hid in Capella and waited for the day to die.

“Let’s go inside first. “Do you have a blacksmith shop?”

“… There is, but the living cannot use it. ‘Rust’, the blacksmith’s forge of the dead, is only for the dead.”

A dead man’s forge that radiates bitter cold, and a forge where jokes say that all the weapons of the dead, who only hold rusty weapons, were made.

“It can’t be helped. “There is no other way.”

“First, I will take care of Fenrir’s wounds and then we will begin work immediately. And Jormungand will ask you to guard the palace.”

-I get it.

“Gunther, please stand with Jormungand.”

“Sure.”

After putting a bandage and gauze on Fenrir’s wound, he headed to Rust, the forge of the dead.

Suyeon Lee followed after me.

Just like I did with Capella, to record her becoming Aegis as per tradition.

“I’ll be watching from the recording space.”

“please.”

She nodded and disappeared through space.

I placed Capella on Rust’s anvil.

Sssss.

The corrosive energy that had accumulated inside the forge rushed towards Capella.

The power to rust all equipment on the anvil.

The force that brought about the death of equipment filled the surroundings.

There is no time to be clumsy.

as soon as possible.

‘Hades would have departed for Niflheim by now.’

The frost giants’ invasion of Niflheim was not their sole act.

In the previous life, the frost giants invaded Niflheim under the protection of Hades.

The fact that the Frost Giants later betrayed Hades and became a nuisance in many ways was also due to his careless management.

His purpose is one.

Absorb Hel and take on her faith to become a more powerful god of the underworld.

Hades wanted to become death itself.

‘Now that we know Hel’s location, he will come to us sooner or later.’

So I had to create the Aegis before he came.

There wasn’t much time.

I took out the hammer of Hephaestus.

Grumble!

The hot flames of a hammer with fire properties shot up at once.

The flame imbued with the power of God drove away Rust’s power.

I swung the hammer at the anvil with all my might.

Kaaaang!

As the flames fly, the thick chill disappears and is filled with scorching heat.

As if changing from a snow-covered forest to a desert, the dry air spread out from the anvil in an instant.

Kaaaang!

I knocked again.

The sparks flying from the anvil flew toward the furnace.

Kaaaang!

Grumble!

With each hammering, the forge rust began to heat up.

When the brazier was lit, a dwarven blue flame rose up in an instant.

‘Is this the power of God…? .’

I felt frustrated and awed by the fact that I was able to create the dwarven blue fire, which could barely be made by using a bellows with all my might, with just a few hammer blows.

‘If only this were in the hands of Hephaestus.’

They would have made a weapon with more power than this.

Relieved by his death, they placed a capella on the anvil where the power of death was taken.

And then he hit the hammer at Capella.
