The Tenth Shelter of the Tower, Shineel.
“This can’t be happening!”
“The sky is falling!”
“Why! Shineel is protected by the gods, so why is this happening!”
The angels, residents of Shineel, fell into chaos.
Some immediately closed their eyes and knelt, praying to God, while others flapped their wings and desperately fled Shineel.
Fortunately, not everyone was like that; the forces from the Platinum Castle were armed and prepared for any possible situation.
Of course, they, too, were gazing at the collapsing sky with expressions of despair.
“The prophecy of the past has finally come to pass…”
The Archangel who had guided Seun in the past.
He looked up at the sky and murmured.
“I thought the calamity below was the source of the prophecy, but it wasn’t…”
Black liquid began to flow from the cracks in the torn sky.
The prophecy of destruction that the Archangel had so desperately wanted to prevent had finally begun.
“Hero…”
The Archangel thought of one man.
The hero who went down to the source of the calamity with his bare body and crushed it all.
It was a moment when his strength was desperately needed once more, but the Archangel himself had seen him off.
Should he have grabbed onto his pants leg instead of letting him go so easily?
Perhaps he had been too complacent in thinking that the source of the calamity had disappeared.
“Uahahahaha! Why are you all looking so gloomy!”
“Heroes. Have you come to help?”
“Of course! We’ve only been treated as guests until now, so shouldn’t we at least earn our keep at times like this?”
A huge man appeared behind the Archangel.
The leader of the Valhalla Guild, Brinn Jarr.
Behind him, over a hundred members of the Valhalla Guild were lined up in an orderly fashion.
“We were about to ascend to the next floor, but I guess this is a revelation to earn our keep! Uahahahaha!”
Valhalla Guild wasn’t the end.
Clang, clang.
The heavy footsteps unique to heavily armed soldiers were heard, and soldiers in armor made of dragon bones lined up.
“Until the Dragon ascends to the throne of God, we will protect what is beneath him.”
The Dragon Tooth Soldiers.
They were the soldiers who followed Kashalaka.
Valhalla had equipment made of meteorites, and the Dragon Tooth Soldiers had equipment imbued with the power of meteorites, so they had enough power to face the Outer Gods.
Brinn Jarr, realizing that the Dragon Tooth Soldiers were cooperating, nodded and said to the Archangel.
“Do you remember before?”
“Are you referring to when the calamity arose?”
“That’s right! Just do what we did back then. First, evacuate all the residents, and have the combat troops only provide support from the rear.”
“But, if we do that, the heroes will be too…”
“Outer Gods. Didn’t you see that the calamity was consuming the host? We have arrows made of meteorites, so only support the battle with those.”
“Understood. Thank you so much, heroes.”
“Uahahahaha! Isn’t it all about helping each other out!”
The destruction from the prophecy.
Just looking at it made them tremble, but the angels regained their composure with the arrival of the players.
It was a frightening battle, but it was a battle they had already experienced once.
And it was also a battle they had already won once.
Thud!
“Kurreureureuk!”
“Let’s go, Valhalla!”
The moment the first Outer God fell, the battle began with Brinn Jarr’s powerful roar.
The difference from the recent battles was that all the Outer Gods falling now were properly consuming their hosts.
The players also kept this in mind and carefully faced the Outer Gods.
“Uahahahaha! This weapon is amazing!”
In particular, Brinn Jarr’s performance was outstanding.
He was holding the hammer that Go Chang-seok had newly made for him, and each time he swung it, the Outer God’s body burst violently.
It was truly an incredible power.
However, just as the Valhalla Guild began to be pushed back as the number of Outer Gods gradually increased.
“Support the heroes!”
“We will not fall!”
“Fire!”
Pyoong!
The angels’ support fire came from behind.
Arrows made of meteorites.
They pierced the Outer God’s body perfectly and inflicted fatal wounds on the host inside.
The battle was going more smoothly than expected.
But.
Kugung!
The Outer God’s attack was not the end.
The sky, which had been cracked, split even wider.
And from within, even bigger and more Outer Gods poured out.
The number of troops and stamina on this side were limited, but the opponent was pushing endlessly, so it was clear that they would slowly wither away if things continued like this.
“Young lady, I beg you!”
Brinn Jarr’s cry echoed throughout Shineel.
At that moment, a woman who responded to the call stood up from her seat and shone her stigmata [a mark of divine favor or power].
– Player Ella uses ‘Chronos’ Time Reversal’.
The hourglass that appeared above her was turned upside down.
The moment the sand grains flowed down, an anomaly began to occur in the sky as well.
Kugugu-
“T, the sky!”
“The sky is being filled!”
The Apostle of Chronos, Ella.
She was using her authority to turn back time.
However, she could not turn back time for the entire Shineel, and her authority was limited to the collapsed sky.
Thanks to this, the collapsing sky returned to its original state, and the number of Outer Gods flowing out was greatly reduced.
“Young lady, how long can you last!”
“Someone is constantly applying shock from above. At this rate… at best, a few hours is the limit!”
“It’s okay if it gets a little loose! It’ll be tough, but please hold on for as long as possible!”
“Okay!”
“Kurreureureureuk!!”
The Outer God’s attack.
Seun had not yet appeared, but they were firmly blocking the Outer Gods, unlike before Seun’s regression.
* * *
“Did you see? Truly, those above must trust their subjects. Just as I trust my treasures.”
Seun, who was looking at the monitor, nodded.
He could realize it by looking at Mamon’s advice and those who were fighting against the Outer Gods in the blurry monitor.
What Seun had to do now was not to return to the Tower.
“I will go to Olympus.”
“Well thought.”
Fulfilling the contracts with the Demon Gods and attracting the Gods.
Good gods and evil gods.
If he could make all those gods his allies and have them participate in the battle.
If he could give the gods the means to fight against the Outer Gods.
The probability of preventing destruction would be much higher than Seun going down to the Tower alone and anxiously using his power.
“To reach Olympus, you need the divinity of that side. Originally, it is impossible for gods from other camps to enter…”
Before she could finish speaking, Seun manifested the Authority of Greed.
What Seun took out was the weapon of the supreme god of Olympus, Zeus.
[ Lightning of Punishment, Astrape ]
Crackling lightning was held in Seun’s hand.
He was not trying to attack.
Even if it was a replica, Astrape was the weapon of Zeus, the supreme god of Olympus.
If he extracted the divinity of that weapon and injected it into the black hole.
Uuung-
“…Well done.”
It became possible to connect the passage to Olympus.
Seun immediately moved his feet, but Mamon, unlike before, stopped in her place and lightly waved her hand at Seun.
“Since we have not yet made a contract, if I suddenly go to Olympus, they will think of it as an act of hostility.”
“I will handle it well and come back.”
“Be careful. There are especially many empty-headed fools in Olympus. Oh, and.”
Before turning around, she handed something to Seun.
He didn’t know what this was, but for the Demon God of Greed to give him a gift without any compensation.
While Seun was bewildered, she forcibly handed him the gift and turned her head.
“It’s just junk rolling around that doesn’t suit my warehouse. It will be a little helpful in negotiations.”
“…Thank you.”
Seun stepped into the passage with that greeting as his last.
With a slight dizziness, the scenery changed.
The pitch-black universe gradually brightened and soon turned as blue as the sky.
‘How can it be so different in the same universe.’
Mamon’s star was also great, but Olympus was not comparable to it.
White clouds floated throughout the blue universe, and various natural environments were formed above the clouds.
Among them, the center.
The huge mountain above the wide area, which seemed to be the main body of Olympus, was truly a spectacle.
Perhaps, it was a sight created by dozens or hundreds of constellations with similar divinity gathering together.
The Demon Gods basically seemed to live separately, so that seemed to be the reason for the difference.
‘First of all….’
Seun turned his body towards the huge mountain in the center.
At that moment.
“Stop!”
A heavy presence approached Seun.
‘A Titan, huh.’
The Titans, who were known to have ruled Olympus in the era called the Golden Age, before the constellations of the current generation took their place in Olympus.
He had heard that their power had weakened a lot now that their generation had been pushed back and defeated, but judging from their appearance, they seemed to have established themselves as guardians of Olympus.
“This is Olympus. I have never heard of inviting outsiders, who are you?”
“I was invited by Poseidon.”
He wasn’t just saying it.
When he had previously spoken with Poseidon through Xenon, he had said this to Seun.
– Become a god. And if you confidently knock on the door of Olympus, negotiations will inevitably take place.
– If you visit in person and explain the situation with your head bowed, Zeus’s face will be saved, so there will be no reason to refuse.
However, unfortunately, that news did not seem to have been conveyed to the Titans.
“How dare you mention the main god of Olympus so carelessly.”
“Insolent.”
“Do you have an invitation or proof?”
“…No.”
“Go back. Otherwise, we will use force to drive you out.”
Fortunately, they did not suddenly attack, but the atmosphere was not one that would allow Seun to pass.
Well, that was natural for them.
An outsider who suddenly appeared mentioned the name of one of the three main gods and mentioned an unscheduled invitation.
However, Seun did not turn back.
The Outer God’s attack had already begun.
In a situation where every minute was precious, he did not have the luxury of turning his back and contacting Poseidon again to make an appointment.
“I can’t do that.”
“Then, from now on, we will consider you an intruder of Olympus.”
“Blame your foolishness.”
The giants stepped on the clouds and approached Seun.
Although their power had weakened a lot, the Titans were all constellations that had ruled the previous era.
The mere act of lifting the thick clubs in their hands was intimidating.
‘It’s difficult to injure them.’
Seun didn’t come to fight.
He had come to this place solely for negotiations with Olympus.
The public opinion would not be good as it was after defeating Pan and Triton and smashing Dionysus’s crystal, so he could not defeat the Titans as well.
That’s why.
– The stigmata reacts to the legend of the Blood Wolf.
– The first ability of the stigmata, ‘Fear,’ awakens.
Seun decided to subdue the Titans.
The Authority of Fear, which he had not used in a long time.
Even if it was the Authority of Fear, it was impossible to make a god kneel.
Kugung!
“Keup!”
Seun was no longer the Seun of the past.
He was already a constellation equal to them.
Moreover, he had been recognized by Ruin and had swallowed all of the ‘Unrotting Ones,’ absorbing all of their status.
Seun’s divinity had already far surpassed the level of the Titans who had led the Golden Age.
“How dare you…”
“Wait.”
Just as Seun was about to ignore the Titans and head to Olympus, another voice was heard.
He thought it would be another Titan coming to stop Seun, but the one standing where he turned his head was not a Titan.
A woman with flowing blue hair.
She had the lower body of a fish, like a mermaid.
“I heard the news from my father. I will guide you to Olympus. Follow me.”
A divinity with a rather familiar feeling was flowing from her.
