Chapter 843 – Mythology Academy
『I made a bet with the kid.』
Tala says that while her Seong-il was spending time talking to Walter, she unleashed her accumulated causal powers and entered Lanz’s dream and whispered to him.
『I read the kid’s memories, figured out his inferiority complex about you, and then showed him the interesting truth.』
Tala creates an illusion again and reveals that she has shown Lanz the ‘true’ skills of her Seongil.
『You can beat Han Seong-il? With effort? He is a demigod who captured and killed me and my brother’s apostles. Even if you die and wake up, you can’t defeat him. So let him take my hand.』
“No!! Lie!! It’s a lie…!!』
『Why do I lie? Hehe…』
Tala strongly insists that the scene she showed was the truth. Tala informs him that, under her contract, she could not have come to Lanz unless her holy day killed Walter, Lantz’s missing father and his own apostle.
『Do not deny it. Haven’t you already gone to the ‘Room of the Ancestors’ and read the truth?』
『That… That…!!』
『The diary in King Seonjo’s room and its contents are all true. Your clan has been linked to me since birth, and you are excellent talents who can be selected as my apostles.』
『No… It’s a lie… It’s a lie…!!』
Seong-il finally understands why the main character in the game was silent after seeing the ‘ancestor’s room’ event. He also realizes why the game company deliberately did not show the details of the event.
‘You were trying to reveal the family’s secret story in the last episode of Mythology Academy. ‘I sprinkled rice cakes on it.’
Seong-il finally realizes that the event he did not consider very important was actually a story about the unmade 3rd movie, in which Earth’s civilization was destroyed due to an alien invasion. Meanwhile, Lantz strongly resists Tala’s whispers and tries to escape from him somehow.
“Shut up!! Even if you made a contract with my ancestor!! So why should I become your follower?! Don’t look at me like a fool!! The cause and effect between you and me is not deep! Don’t even think about forcing me to become your apostle!!』
Lanz is strong, saying that in the worst case scenario, she could end Talawa’s cause and effect by abolishing her superpowers. In response to Lanz’s reaction, Tala begins to whisper soothingly in a soft tone, as if asking when she had pushed him.
『Why would I try to force you to become an apostle? The apostle is practically my right-hand man? Of course, shouldn’t we appoint whoever we want?』
After whispering like that, Tala shows Lantz a truly shocking scene. This is the scene where his father, Walter Ludian, begs Tala and becomes an apostle.
“Lie…!! It’s a lie!!』
Hehe… Is that really true? Walter Ludian was a person who was faithful to his desires. He realized that he was a descendant of the Flame Emperor and swore loyalty to me. I decided to make him the emperor of the world I would newly establish.』
Tala repeatedly whispers that if Walter helps her rule this world, she really intends to appoint him as the ruler of the kingdom she will establish.
『Surprisingly, I am kind to those who directly commit themselves to me? Especially a being as talented as your clan.』
Tala constantly tries to seduce Lanz’s soul by saying sweet things to him. What’s worse is that since Lanz is tied to Tala and her soul, he feels that Tala is telling the ‘truth’ and he is really confused.
『Don’t you want to have Elaine Ivrose?』
『…!!』
『Become my apostle. Then, I will return Elaine, who was taken away by Han Seong-il, to you. Is that all? I will make you the emperor of the world I will build in the future! In addition, I will give you the power to defeat even the demigod Han Seong-il!!』
A temptation so sweet. Lanz feels her spirit shaking as Tala cries out, seducing her by cleverly touching on her own sense of inferiority. However, Lanz desperately tries to come to his senses and swears in a harsh tone, somehow rejecting Tala’s offer.
『Eh… Elaine is not Han Seong-il’s!! Where can I make modifications!!』
Lantz, who did not yet know that Seong-il and Elaine had a close relationship, listens to Tala’s words and finds fault with her, trying not to let her shake him.
『Puhaha… What kind of nonsense is this? I’m sure you’ve already seen him and Elaine going to do something ‘fun’ at the villa, right?』
Tala viciously torments Lanz by bringing up memories of her that he has desperately tried to forget.
『I guess it wasn’t at the level of simply enjoying it?』
Tala explains to Lanz that her former slave, Yudi, was taken away by an unknown monster.
『Do you remember that masked pervert guy? I was trying to track down his identity.』
Tala secretly infiltrated the Mythology Academy with her followers and tried to find the missing slave ‘Yudi’. However, he did not get any information and had to waste his time.
『In the midst of investigating this guy… My believers witnessed the lewd acts committed by that ‘monster’.』
Tala shows Lantz a man raping a masked woman. Lanz’s face turns red, and he turns his head at the sight of a woman being violated with only a mask on her naked body.
『This monster is a strange being with the power to deny ’cause and effect’, so even I couldn’t track it down. But…』
Tala whispers to Lanz that through the fierce battle in this ‘crack’, she became convinced that the monster was none other than Han Seong-il.
『He… He… He is Han Seong-il?! Pervert I said the mask is definitely an apostle of Tala?』
『I guess he was trying to fuck me. I don’t know why he’s hostile to me. However, what is certain is that the strange vision used by Pervert at the time was the same as the vision used by Han Seong-il. Then, even though it may be hard to believe, it ultimately comes down to one fact. That pervert is Han Seong-il.』
『…』
『The guy who repeatedly committed lewd acts at the Academy in an effort to provoke me… Do you really believe that he didn’t do anything while going in and out of the villa with Elaine? Hehe… Isn’t it a fool to believe that?』
『No… No!!』
Lanz desperately tries to deny Tala’s whispers. To Lanz, Tala makes an offer that he can never refuse.
“Okay? Then how about this? I will temporarily lend you my power. This power allows you to ‘read’ time and memory.』
『… Reading time?』
“Okay. It’s similar to psychometry. You must have received training about me at the academy, so you would know my power, right?』
『… Lie!!』
Even as Lanz is dazed from shock, he desperately tries to break Tala’s logic by racking his brain. He exclaims that if Tala had such power, wouldn’t she have gone to the place where the pervert mask went on a rampage and read the time?
『Sounds stupid. This power is my most powerful power. Don’t you dare even try if you don’t have the right qualifications?』
Tala laughs at Lanz’s words and tells him that this power is a powerful power that can only be granted temporarily to at least an ‘Apostle’ level.
『Even if you can use it, it’s a problem. If my apostle walks through the academy and uses my power, will the guardians here be quiet? Of course, they will try to kill the apostle. Don’t say anything stupid.』
『…』
Lanz is speechless and unable to say anything due to Tala’s sharp criticism. Tala whispers to Lantz that he could easily fool the academy’s guardians by using his powers at the Ivrose family’s villa on the outskirts of the city.
『So let’s make a bet.』
『… Bet?』
“Okay. Bet.』
Tala encourages Lanz, who hesitates, to speak in a sweet voice. Since he will temporarily lend his power to Lanz, he says let’s sneak into the Yves Rose family and check whether Seong-il and Elain committed an adulterous act or not.
『If the two of you really didn’t do anything, you win.』
『… What if you did it?』
Lanz is confused, but wary that Tala will rob her of her own soul with such a ridiculous bet, she answers him.
『What if I win? Then just listen to my ‘suggestion’ seriously. I promise there will be absolutely no coercion. How about it?』
『… How can you believe in an oath?』
In fact, Lanz seemed to have given an affirmative answer. Tala smiles very sinisterly at the change in his attitude.
『Don’t make me say the same thing over and over again. Your clan and I have been soul-connected since birth, so we can naturally read whether each other’s words are true. Why do you say that when you already know?』
『Can you swear by your true name?』
Lantz, extremely shaken, demands from Tala an oath to his true name that even a god cannot easily break, as he learned at the academy. Naturally, Tala, who was convinced that Seong-il and Elaine had committed lewd acts at the villa, smiled sinisterly and agreed to Lanz’s words.
