Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 607

I Ransacked the Demon God’s Warehouse – Episode 607

‘If something of this magnitude appeared, Mammon should have reacted.’

A golden spire.

If Mammon had seen it, he would have widened his eyes and pondered whether he could swallow the spire itself.

If not, he might have frowned, feeling uncomfortable with the sacred energy emanating from the spire.

However, Mammon didn’t send any messages.

‘Neither did Leviathan.’

I finally met Blake, the master of the Black Wings.

One of the conditions of the contract with Leviathan was to destroy the Black Wings, Lucifer’s faction, so she should have said something.

But since meeting Blake, her messages haven’t surfaced even once.

‘Even Beelzebub…….’

I’ve faced various monsters since crossing the river [likely the River Styx, a common mythological boundary].

Among them were powerful monsters like Imoogi [a Korean mythical serpent]. Naturally, Se-un has been using the power of gluttony.

Normally, Beelzebub would have been excitedly jumping around, expressing it through messages, but even Beelzebub’s messages haven’t appeared.

I don’t know why, but it seemed like the connection with the Demon Gods had been severed.

And it seemed that it wasn’t just Se-un.

“As of just now, the connection with Lucifer-nim has been completely severed.”

“Was the connection severed due to the opposing energy?”

“If we arrived at a place like this, other constellations would be interested, but they don’t seem to show any reaction.”

“Does that mean that not only the Demon Gods but also the connections with other constellations have been cut off?”

“That’s highly likely.”

Se-un revealed his stigmata just in case. Fortunately, Se-un’s powers, such as fear, madness, and destruction, were all normal.

However, the powers of lust and anger, which borrowed the power of the Demon Gods, were all out of order.

‘Does that mean I have to challenge this place purely with my own power, without the help of the constellations?’

If that’s the case, things get quite difficult.

If I can’t use the Demon Gods’ powers, the maximum output Se-un can produce will be more than halved.

Above all, the inability to use the power of sloth, which can also be called an extra life, was a big problem.

‘But I can’t go back now.’

I’ve finally come this far.

If Se-un’s prediction is correct, and if Se-un can steal it, he might be able to prevent the upcoming Shinma War [likely a war involving deities or powerful spiritual beings], which will be the biggest problem before stopping the Outer Gods.

Then, even if the Outer Gods invade, the constellations’ power won’t be weakened and falter like before.

“Let’s go in.”

“Okay, Se-un.”

We crossed the rainbow bridge and walked the golden road.

The spire’s massive door blocked our path, but the wings that had guided us here fluttered and entered the keyhole.

Thump.

The door swung open as if welcoming us.

We looked at each other and nodded before entering.

“The inside is no joke.”

“I’d believe it if Mammon built it.”

The inside of the spire was also shimmering with gold.

Moreover, if we had come this far, a message saying that we had entered a hidden dungeon would have popped up.

Since earlier, not even a simple message has appeared, let alone a constellation’s message.

“Now…… should we go up those stairs?”

We stood side by side in the center of the spire’s hall.

Since there were no monsters or traps, it was hard to grasp what to do from now on.

Then, someone’s voice was heard from the top of the spire.

“Oh, two challengers have come!”

Whoosh!

A pillar of fire descended from the top of the spire.

Se-un and Blake instinctively grabbed the handles of their respective weapons.

However, no hostility was felt, even from the pillar of fire that was burning fiercely before their eyes, including the voice that was heard.

“Blessed! It’s a very joyful thing!”

Dozens of wings emerged from the pillar of fire.

A total of 36 wings. That is, 18 pairs of wings.

All those wings overlapped and folded like a single wing, and the pillar of fire scattered like a lie.

“Welcome! Challengers!”

Challengers.

I don’t know what he means, but it seems that’s what he calls the players who came here.

Although I didn’t feel any hostility, I could tell at a glance that the opponent’s power was not ordinary, so Se-un and Blake did not let go of the handles of their weapons.

So that they can respond to the enemy’s attack at any time.

So that they can launch a preemptive strike before the enemy changes their attitude.

“On such a good day! I can’t show the challengers a poor reception. Angels!”

Flutter.

Hundreds of feathers fell from the sky.

Looking up, dozens of angels as small as children were floating in the air with their cute wings spread.

“Please prepare a grand feast for the challengers!”

Boo-ooo-ooo-

A trumpet sound was heard from above.

Along with that, the little angels began to prepare a feast.

A wide table that was probably 10m long was set up, and a white and clean cloth was placed over it.

Golden candlesticks were installed, and food with a delicious smell, which I don’t know where it came from, was served.

“Now, challengers! Come and sit down!”

Snap!

When the angel snapped his fingers, the candles on the table lit up all at once.

At the same time, the chairs in front of Se-un and Blake pulled themselves out as if they had their own ego, asking them to sit down.

‘Is this a place where battle is not needed?’

Since the system window didn’t pop up, I couldn’t know anything.

Still, since I didn’t feel any hostility, we looked at each other, nodded, and sat down.

As if waiting for this, the lids of the plates opened and various foods were revealed.

“Eat as much as you like! Challengers!”

An angel whose size easily exceeded 2m.

The whole body was full of solid muscles as if showing off masculinity, and the eighteen pairs of wings on his back were combined into one, and the enlarged wings were fully spread.

“Oh! It’s very delicious!”

I don’t know if it’s to reassure us, or if it’s his original personality, but as soon as the angel saw the food, he started picking up the food with his hands and tearing it apart without even using cutlery.

“Aren’t you eating? Trust me and try it!”

If this is a dungeon, that angel would be the boss monster, but the boss monster is telling you to trust him and eat the food he’s giving you.

“Se-un. Isn’t it strange?”

“It’s strange, but…….”

“Wait, Se-un.”

Se-un, who was looking around at the food for a while, reached out his hand.

He picked up a piece of bread that was closest to him and naturally put it in his mouth.

It looked hard on the outside, but when I put it in my mouth, the bread seemed to melt.

“It’s okay. I’ve already checked for poison.”

“……Is that so? Then, I’ll eat too.”

The food has been tested in preparation for any possible situation.

Se-un, who had reached the 8th circle [likely a reference to a level of magical ability], could detect all kinds of poisons and curses.

Even if there was a problem that he couldn’t detect, there would be very few poisons that could harm Se-un, who had absorbed even the Demon God’s blood and had extremely high immunity and resistance.

Of course, this is not the end.

If this was all, I wouldn’t have bothered to eat the food even if there was no problem.

The only reason Se-un started eating the food.

Woo-ung-

‘As expected, divinity is imbued in it.’

A faint divinity imbued in the food.

In other words, all of these foods are called ‘Ambrosia’ [food of the gods], and ‘Nectar’ [drink of the gods].

“You seem to have already noticed! These are all precious things prepared for the challengers, so eat as much as you like!”

Blake started eating the food when he saw Se-un eating.

Then, he feels the divinity contained in the food and his expression becomes serious.

Being able to accumulate divinity just by eating a meal was by no means a light matter.

‘But I can’t accumulate divinity indefinitely.’

It would be nice if I could absorb all the divinity by eating all the food on the table, but there is a limit to this.

In the first place, accumulating divinity through meals is inappropriate.

Once a certain level is exceeded, divinity will no longer accumulate even if you eat Ambrosia and drink Nectar.

“Did you enjoy the meal? Challengers!”

When the meal was over, the angel raised his voice.

Baby angels who came and cleared the table as if they had been waiting.

Unlike Se-un and Blake, who had only drunk two or three bowls of Ambrosia and one glass of Nectar, there were more than ten empty bowls in front of him.

“Now that you’re full, let’s start with the introductions! I am the angel guarding this place, ‘The Throne’. My name is Metatron! I am also called the angel of the covenant, the scribe of the sky.”

“Metatron?”

Just as there are the Seven Demon Gods, such as Mammon and Leviathan, among the Demon Gods, and the representative Seventy-Two Demons among the Demon Kings, there are also famous angels.

The most representative examples are Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, who are known as the three archangels.

Uriel is sometimes included as one of the four archangels, and there are many other angels such as Sariel and Raguel.

And there was one thing that all angels had in common.

‘Was there an angel named Metatron? No, was there an angel with a name like that?’

El.

Not only the representative four archangels but also other angels, such as Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, all have El at the end of their names.

This was not just a common character. ‘El’ was a word that signified the mission or power that the angel was born with from the beginning.

Even Se-un, who had memorized the names of most of the angels in the Great Library of El Arv, was hearing the name of the angel Metatron for the first time.

“Challengers. May I know your names?”

“……I’m Se-un.”

“Blake.”

“Se-un and Blake! Very nice names! Now, it’s time to hear your heroic tales!”

The food was all cleared away, and three glasses of wine were newly placed on the table.

A purplish-pink wine.

These were also the nectar of the gods, imbued with divinity.

“Why do you want to hear heroic tales?”

“Isn’t that obvious? How long has it been since challengers reached ‘The Throne’! Think of it as comforting a lonely angel and tell me! I will reward you handsomely.”

Heroic tales.

I can tell you as much as you want.

But first, I have to finish what I have to do.

It is highly likely that there is something Lucifer is looking for here, so I can’t be swayed by the angel’s words like this.

“Before that, I want to know more about this place.”

“I told you. This place is the Throne.”

“If this spire is the Throne, who is it for? Are you the owner of this Throne?”

“Of course not. I am just a proxy.”

“If you are a proxy…… does that mean the owner of that Throne is God?”

Angels are often called God’s messengers or God’s proxies.

As such, if Metatron says he is a proxy, the probability that the subject is God is the highest.

However, Metatron shook his head at Se-un’s question.

“That’s not it.”

“Then?”

“The owner of this Throne…… is the sacred key to the sky.”

The sacred key to the sky.

The moment he heard those words, not only Se-un but also Blake’s eyes flashed.

This is because Blake had already heard about its identity through Lucifer, and Se-un had predicted its identity through the word key.

“Goetia.”

The Key of Solomon, the second chapter.

Ars Theurgia-Goetia [a book of demonology].

With Se-un’s answer, the key in his arms, Nephilim, resonated.
