Chapter 099

“Athena!”

Ares invaded Athena’s Pantheon disguised as a tailor shop.

As if ignoring Monos, the manager of the tailor shop and Athena’s apostle guarding the entrance, he passed by and opened the door connected to the space where Athena resides.

Quang!

Athena looked at Ares while holding the shield in her left hand.

It was as if they were already aware of his visit.

“What happened to our ugly little brother?”

“Aegis… .”

The rumor was true.

She showed up with a mythical weapon that shouldn’t exist.

The problem is that Hephaestus did not reach his full power before his death.

No, many gods had not yet properly obtained the relics.

There were various ways to obtain relics, commonly referred to as divine weapons.

Obtain the weapons held by the gods of the other world, or create them using traditional methods or through the faith of humans.

‘The Aegis is a weapon that only Hephaestus can make.’

But Hephaestus died.

So where did that weapon come from?

There was only one suspect.

The person who killed Hephaestus.

I don’t know how he obtained it, but he acquired Hephaestus’ godhood and prestige and made that weapon according to tradition.

It’s not fake.

He, the same god of war, can definitely feel it.

The absolute solidity felt in that shield.

“Athena, where did you get that shield?”

“You have a really bad habit of talking to your sister.”

“Just answer the questions. Depending on whether you answer or not, you may be branded as a traitor who betrayed us and became attached to the gods of this world.”

Athena stopped working on her shield and looked down at Ares.

“It’s cute how funny you are when we meet after a long time, little brother.”

“… … .”

“Are you so eager for my shield?”

“I’m saying this because there is a high possibility that the person who created that shield is the suspect who killed Hephaestus. “Brother, you think I’m the only one who’s proud.”

“This shield… .”

She raised the corners of her mouth.

Obvious ridicule.

Ares hated Athena’s smile so much.

That eerie smile that only believes that it will always win.

In fact, Ares had never won against her.

No matter how excellent a warrior Ares was, Athena’s strategic tactics were something Ares could not overcome alone.

Just as battles and wars are different, the types of fights handled by the two gods were clearly different.

Athena always ridiculed Ares, saying that he only became one of the 12 Olympians because his mother was Hera and he was the son of Zeus, but his abilities were poor.

I couldn’t admit it.

Ares thought that he was a stronger and better god than anyone else.

“Do you know what this shield is?”

“Are you looking at me like a fool? Aegis. “I see Capella’s power that protected her father. Are you planning to deny her even though there is no room for argument?”

“You have a good eye for attention.”

Athena seemed to have no intention of hiding anything.

why?

What kind of confidence is this?

While he was wondering, Aphrodite held his hand.

-Don’t hesitate. We have to push here.

Her will was conveyed.

okay.

Now was not the time to back down.

It’s time to put pressure on your opponent.

“I know very well that the Aegis is a weapon that cannot be made unless you are Hephaestus. But Hephaestus could not find his own holy relic, so he could not make anyone else’s holy relic.”

“so?”

“There is no way the dead Hephaestus came back alive, and you know someone who can handle the relics of Hephaestus, right?”

“Would you like me to know a blacksmith who can supply me with weapons?”

“If you don’t tell me, it won’t go smoothly.”

Aphrodite helped Ares.

“If you are really not guilty of murdering Hephaestus, you had better tell me quickly.”

“It’s been a long time since we argued over the golden apple. Aphrodite.”

“If you are truly as innocent as our darling said, then speak softly to the maker of the shield.”

“… Both of you are really rude. “Not only did they attack me without any reason, but they even threatened to hand over the craftsman who supplied me with weapons.”

Ares gritted his teeth at Athena’s shameless words.

It’s always like this.

That way of talking like a snarky serpent always made Ares angry.

“Don’t think about passing. As I warned you earlier, if you don’t tell us, we will make it public and go to trial.”

“If you really gained the power by killing Hephaestus, you will pay a fair price.”

Athena calmly opened her mouth.

“Don’t you think about the benefits he will bring?”

“what?”

“It is a being that can create divine weapons. He can take Hephaestus’ place. “Aren’t you thinking of making him on your side?”

“Athena, come to your senses. He is a god-killer who killed a god. Anyone who kills a god even once must never be forgiven. “If such a person is left alive, God’s authority will be destroyed.”

God’s authority.

This was something Zeus had a habit of saying.

Only when God’s authority survives will a foundation be laid for us to rule and protect them.

What happened to us when science and technology developed and the existence of God gradually faded away for humans?

Didn’t I become a being who was forgotten and almost disappeared from them?

do not do that.

We had to terrify them, overwhelm them, keep them in awe of us.

In order to do that, it was not necessary to make it known that God bleeds.

“There must be greater punishment for those who kill gods. Kill our enemies through fear and rule over humanity. “That is the way to establish justice.”

Athena looked at him and sighed.

“Do we really have to do this?”

“okay. Even if that existence is truly helpful, it will be up to Zeus, the father, to make the decision.”

“… good. I’ll let you know. “Because I don’t want to be everyone’s enemy either.”

“What is his identity?”

“I’m human.”

“also… . Those arrogant people are struggling to do their job… . “Then what kind of otherworldly god are you an apostate?”

“That person didn’t receive any god’s blessing?”

“what?”

Ares blinked and asked again.

“A man who wasn’t even blessed killed God? That’s what I’m saying now… .”

“If you were going to doubt my answer, why did you come all this way?”

“… … .”

“It’s true, check it out. “The name is Dojin, and Lee Hyun mentioned it once on the news, so you know it’s not a lie.”

Ares furrowed his brows and grasped the truth of her words.

It’s not a lie.

Instinct was telling me.

“… “Hephaestus was killed by humans?”

“okay. “It’s amazing.”

“Tell me where he is right now.”

“Before speaking, is it really necessary for us, the 12 gods of Olympus, to wait for our father’s judgment?”

“What do you mean?”

Ares felt his hands itching as Athena suddenly changed the topic.

I wanted to immediately push Athena away for saying such nonsense.

“Let’s come to a conclusion ourselves. “Who is right?”

“what?”

“I don’t think there is a need to kill this man. There are many places to use it in many ways. But you probably want to kill me, right?”

“So, you will protect that human?”

“No, I’m just trying to show you. “The value of that human being.”

“… what?”

“Fight that human. Then you will find out.”

“I’m sorry, but that’s not my authority.”

Athena smiled when she heard those words.

“The scoundrel of Olympus and the greatest libertine. “Is the prince of the gods and the battlefield slayer scared?”

“what?”

“You’re scared. To the ‘only human’ you always talk about. Are you avoiding the human who killed Hephaestus because you are afraid that he will defeat you?”

“Are you kidding me?”

“Otherwise, why would there be any reason to avoid it?”

“… Because I can kill him. “He deserves his fair punishment.”

“don’t worry. Because that won’t happen. “If you die, you’re dead.”

Ares bit his lip as Athena laughed at him.

Athena insults and provokes herself until the end.

I knew it was a trap, but I had no intention of running away.

If he had escaped like this, he would have been given the title of God of War.

“I get it. Athena I will do as you say. But if that guy dies, the fault will be yours. Did you understand?”

“of course.”

“Ares!”

Although Aphrodite could be heard dissuading him, Ares only focused his gaze on Athena.

“Three days later, bring that person to the location I designated. There, as you said, I will show you my fight.”

“I made the suggestion, so you take the place. “It’s good because it’s fair.”

After finishing speaking, Ares left the Pantheon without hesitation.

“Darling! Are you sane? Zeus definitely told me to bring him… .”

“You don’t die even if you lose a limb.”

Just take it away without killing it and that’s it.

Even if it is useful, you only need to spare one arm.

That alone would be enough to make a sword.

You can make a cripple, but why can’t you make a one-armed person?

“Is it true what Athena said, darling?”

“A man who wasn’t blessed killed God?”

“okay.”

“I wouldn’t lie.”

He’s an annoying brother from top to bottom, but he doesn’t lie.

But there is just one thing that bothers me.

“Why on earth did you tell me this so obediently?”

True to her reputation as the Goddess of Wisdom, she has always annihilated her enemies with her outstanding intellect.

A craftsman capable enough to create a godly weapon would be revealed to him without any conditions?

‘There’s definitely something there.’

He didn’t know what it was, but Ares’ intuition was warning him.

There is a reason why Athena obediently told me this.

“Darling, what are you thinking like that?”

“Recruit all guild members under your wing. “I will lead everyone to Suwon.”

“Are you serious?”

“okay.”

The only time Shin led all the guild members was when he was subduing the Abyss.

They mobilize all their guild members just to catch one human.

However, Aphrodite realized when she saw Ares’ expression facing her.

This man is speaking sincerely.

“… okay. “I will issue a mobilization order to our guild as well.”

“Let’s mobilize everyone and meet.”

* * *

Athena, looking at the spot where Ares left, smiled and put on her helmet.

“Shall I get ready now?”

Since I threw the bait, I should prepare for hunting before the cat bites.

* * *

-Didn’t you say you were going to use Athena to catch Ares?

Fenrir, who waddled after me, asked.

“It did.”

-But why did you come all the way here? If you’re going to use Athena’s power, it would be best to use a battlefield as close to her pantheon as possible.

“Fight against God in Seoul? “It will never happen.”

In modern society, God was a kind of star.

A life-threatening battle with such a big star in the middle of Seoul?

It will never look good.

Besides that.

‘It’s not just about fighting, it’s about killing.’

-So is this place okay?

“This was not the chosen battlefield. And I won’t be able to choose the battlefield.”

-What do you mean?

“There is no way Ares would leave the battlefield to Athena, who proposed war, without any suspicion. So you choose the battlefield. “If you think about it, it’s like we’re entering Ares’ maw.”

-Benefactor, that was too reckless… .

“That’s why I came.”

While Athena was dealing with Ares, I came to Elfheim.

Now, after defeating all of Decay, the god of corruption, the land of the elves is recovering its power more quickly thanks to the grace of the World Tree.

The reason is?

“To beat him, you need to regain your strength as quickly as possible.”

-… … .

It was to completely heal Fenrir’s wounds.

“What’s going on?”

Elf elder Arel greeted us.

“I came to see Yggdrasil.”

I said, taking out Gleipnir.

The essence of Yggdrasil embedded in Gleipnir sparkled.
