Chapter 096

Hades, Athena, and Dojin.

The confrontation between the two gods and one person continued briefly.

Hades, who was silent for a moment at Athena’s words, looked at me and opened his mouth again.

“I don’t think so.”

Hades’ eyes were still focused on me.

The greed in his eyes.

The fact that I killed a god, the hammer of Hephaestus in my hand, and even the Aegis I made myself.

He seemed to be even more pleased with the fact that I was not yet an apostle of any god.

“There is no need for all souls who cross the river to lose their memories.”

“I beg your pardon?”

Hades continued speaking while glaring at me.

“Just as Persephone did, this person can do the same. Even if he doesn’t have to lose his memories, he still has a way to live in my castle. I’ll give you the treatment you deserve. “If he comes down to the afterlife and abandons his body, I will also give him a place that he will not regret.”

“uncle!”

Hades continued to ask me, paying no attention to Athena.

“So, get out of the way. “I have to make that person mine.”

I laughed out loud at the sight of Hades speaking as if he was being generous.

He was acting as if I was already his.

‘That’s why I don’t like the gods of the underworld.’

Everyone is arbitrary and has no consideration for others.

The same goes for other gods, but the gods of the underworld are even more so.

I haven’t forgotten why I came back to the past.

“Who wants to go?”

“what?”

“Why should I go under you?”

Hades’ brow furrowed.

A strong energy emanated from the body.

It was the power that drove me to the brink of death.

Hades seemed to have no intention of hiding anything.

“Uncle, are you serious?”

“okay. “I have to get what I want to be satisfied.”

Athena stood facing Hades holding the Aegis and javelin.

A flame like the sun flickered from her body, and terrible darkness flickered from Hades’ body.

It was then.

-Well, it’s worth it… .

Jormungand, who had been knocked down by Hades, slowly raised his huge body and opened his mouth.

Hades sneered at the words of Jormungand, who stood up bleeding.

“The dying snake is so arrogant.”

A crescent moon was shining between Jormungand’s eyebrows.

The same crescent moon pattern I saw when I first opened Loki’s magic box.

It was also a grace given to him by Loki, who had met Jormungand for the first time in a long time.

-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.

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

Jormungand said it was a grace engraved on him by Loki.

-Unless you want to start a great war between gods… .

Jormungand stood up staggeringly and glared at Hades.

“Loki… .”

Hades, who was looking at the symbol shining between Jormungand’s eyebrows, closed his mouth.

The guy recovered the power he had used to threaten and took a step back.

“You are receiving attention from many gods.”

Hades’ face was full of dissatisfaction as he spoke.

In the underworld, even if Hades’ power became stronger than usual, he could not fight Athena and Jormungand at the same time.

If Loki went there, it wouldn’t end unless Zeus was brought in as well.

“It’s the result of a lot of hard work.”

I stood up and responded as if nothing had happened.

“Come see me later if you need anything. “I can make you at least a weapon.”

“… … .”

Hades’ jaw twitches.

However, no special action was taken beyond that.

Now that they had declared defeat, it seemed like they were planning to just retreat.

“Then I’ll just go.”

“Wait a minute, I have to swear before I go.”

“what?”

“I will no longer invade this place, Niflheim.”

“… “You’re being cocky until the end.”

“Then you invaded someone else’s world and wanted them to let you go?”

The frost giants who had been fighting Hel without receiving support from Hades retreated upon the appearance of Athena, and Hades was the only one left on the battlefield.

Since Athena appeared here, the whole situation has been smiling at us.

Even so, it was a move that could be seen as reckless to take such a strong stance against Hades, the god of the underworld.

However, if we do not receive proper confirmation here, Hel will have to continue to fight against a great enemy called Hades in the future.

‘That’s not what I want.’

In order for her to become a force that could keep even the gods in check, to the degree I wanted, it would have been difficult to at least have conflicts with other underworlds.

When the opportunity arose, an agreement had to be made, even if by force.

“… “Don’t you know that me stepping down is the most merciful option for you guys?”

“Are you serious?”

If Hades refused, he was willing to fight until the end.

If we were lucky, it was an opportunity to eliminate Hades.

The guy glared at me.

“You’re cocky to the end.”

“Is it okay to treat a blacksmith who can make mythical weapons like that?”

“… … .”

This was a possible threat because the other person thought highly of me.

“good night. I, Hades, swear that from now on I will not invade Niflheim. But, I can’t just leave like this.”

“what?”

Hades stretched out his hand and a small cup appeared in his hand.

“It is the water of the underworld. “It is water that contains my power so that I can call you to the underworld just once.”

The water of the underworld.

It was a famous story that Hades, who descended into this world, gave water to the humans and apostles he liked and called them whenever he needed them.

Give me that water.

“… Are you saying you will call me if you need me?”

“You’re quick to notice.”

“What is the price?”

“As much as you helped me, I will also grant you one thing you want.”

“As long as it’s a fair deal, thank you.”

There was nothing bad.

It’s like creating a kite with Hades through this water.

In the future, when he needs me, I will be able to tear it down properly.

‘That’s probably what’s urgent.’

I smiled and drank the water he gave me.

A unique taste I had never felt before enveloped my tongue.

“Keuhum!”

The taste was so strong that I coughed without realizing it.

The taste is unique.

Hades clicked his tongue in disappointment and left as if running away.

His appearance flickered for a moment, then disappeared.

He returned to his own world again.

“Whoa.”

I let out a deep sigh, clutching my heart that felt like it was about to explode.

It’s a success.

It was quite successful.

The invasion of Hades was prevented, and the effectiveness of the Aegis was properly proven to Athena.

This was a showcase.

A showcase that informs the outstanding gods of Athena and Hades about the existence of Kim Do-jin, who can create mythical weapons.

It was a dangerous task that required risking one’s life, but it was done.

If Athena had been even a little late, if the performance of the shield I had made had gone down even a little.

He must have become a cold corpse by now, pawning his soul to Hades.

“I worked hard, and I’m sorry. “I had no idea that my uncle was targeting this place.”

Athena helped me up even though I felt like I was going to fall down at any moment.

Her power touched my body, and the wounds that seemed like I would collapse at any moment were healed.

Only when she was old enough to stand on her own two feet did she get the shoulder she had lent her.

“Have you checked the shield effect?”

“… okay. “I have the tradition of Capella, and if I can obtain Medusa’s head, I will be able to evolve this shield into the relic I truly desire.”

Expectation began to bloom on Athena’s face.

The expectation that she can achieve her long-held goal.

“I don’t know how to thank you. “If it weren’t for Dojin, I would still be holding out and just waiting for an opportunity.”

“I told you. “I will show you what I believe in.”

“Instead of making me this weapon, you wanted scissors that contained my power. But that alone doesn’t make sense.”

She handed me the scissors containing her power under the condition that I keep it a secret.

However, Athena, who checked the item, says that it is not enough.

‘Did you like it that much?’

A single human withstood the attack of Hades, a superior god.

With that alone, the shield’s performance was already guaranteed.

“I cannot make you, a man, my apostle… .”

She looked at me for a moment.

If her pantheon wasn’t a place for Geumnam, it seemed like she was planning on making me an apostle right away.

“You told me, right? “Consider that you have found a good business partner.”

“you’re right.”

“We cannot neglect good business partners. I too will tell you. From now on, Dojin, you will be protected by Athena, the god of war. “Your enemies are my enemies, and I will defeat those who threaten you.”

She cried out, pounding her chest.

The guardian of the upper-class god Athena.

I suppressed the laughter that was about to come out.

He said he would protect me as I gain strength to kill God.

How will she react when she hears my purpose?

‘Athena is also a goddess who will become an enemy someday.’

But for now, let’s just focus on having a good ally in Athena.

“If you need a weapon in the future, please let me know at any time.”

“okay.”

“Then I think I need to clean up here, so please go back first.”

“… I get it. When you’re done, come to the tailor shop. “I have something urgent to say to you.”

Athena leaves.

I also saw Jormungand, who had partially recovered from his wounds with the power of Athena.

Loki’s crescent moon was still shining on his head.

“Did you use the grace that Loki gave you?”

-no. It was just a threat. Because even Hades can’t stand against his father.

“is it. “Then what is this grace that can only be used once?”

-To put it simply, it means summoning your father directly. No matter where you are or what situation you are in.

It’s a seal that summons Loki.

Not bad, right?

“… thank you.”

Hel approached me after driving out all the frost giants and spoke to me.

Her expression of gratitude while hesitantly resembled that of an adolescent girl.

If it weren’t for the black rotten remaining half, I would have thought she was an ordinary girl.

How lonely it must have been to be alone in such a cold place.

“I just need to know that I’m grateful.”

“Ugh, I’ll take you as my benefactor.”

“There is no need to take him. “I helped you because I needed you too.”

“But my benefactor is the only person who really helped me.”

She condensed the loneliness she had felt until now in one simple word.

-sorry. Because I didn’t understand until now.

-I should have thought of you… .

Fenrir and Jormungand heard that and were at a loss.

“It’s okay, brothers. “We all had a hard time.”

-… … .

“Hell, you remember what I asked you to do, right? “If I drive out the frost giants and resolve the threat to you, you will do me a favor.”

“I remember.”

“That’s enough.”

Fog came in.

As the Frost Giants and Hades, who were threatening the castle, left, it was a sign that the dead were returning to the castle ruled by their master.

“Do not worry. The dead will not take you, my guests. Even if it’s Valkyrie.”

Hel smiled and looked at us.

At the end of her gaze, Reginleif, who had joined the battlefield with Athena, was also there.

Reginleif, unable to make eye contact with her, approached me.

“Dojin, I would like to talk to you for a moment.”

“All right.”

My siblings will be chatting about their thoughts, so I’ll have to do my own thing.
