Chapter 837 – Hyeonae Salsu (2)
Death is certain, resistance is pointless.
The appearance of her head hanging in Henir’s hands seemed to suggest her situation.
【… If you need a throne, take it. Kill me and rip me off!!]
Was it like that? Amelia wrote her vices, squeezing out the last of her bluffs.
It was the last bit of pride that didn’t beg for her life.
Hiding her broken heart and her fear of being abandoned in her nothingness, Amelia sighed. There was no face of a monster with wicked wisdom, a symbol of dignified and sublime fear.
All there was was a little soul, feared like a mere mortal.
【Poor thing.】
However, Henir carefully touched Amelia’s cheek.
In her moment, abandoning her bravado, Amelia, to her horror, went blank in her head.
Stroking? Why?
You can tell if it’s a deception to dominate people whose minds are broken. It’s something Amelia used to do often. A human whose ego had once collapsed would hang himself on such trivial favors.
But Henir had no reason to coax her.
Everything worked according to his will. Anyway, Amelia had neither the ability nor the will to resist. She had long since given in, and all that was left of her was futility and fear.
Even if I tried to appease her and make her subordinate, if I left this space, she would perish in pain.
【I am the god of long legs. The king of abandoned children.]
If so, what is this relief that fills her chest.
Why is it that the voice that pierces into the ear that is not there is so tearful?
【That’s enough reason to feel sorry for you.】
As Henir stroked her hair, Amelia writhed with difficulty.
【… Abandoned? I?】
【The god you believed in has left you and fled. Even after that, I didn’t protect you even though I had enough ability. It is a fact that you can know for sure if you face the reality.]
Hit. In fact, even Amelia knew. That’s why she was more easily broken.
If even half of the blessings that went to Nord had come to Amelia, it wouldn’t have come this far. Her god cast her out not because she lacked power, but because she was not needed. The truth pushed Amelia to her limit.
【If you wish, pray as you did to your god.】
Henir said.
【If you do, I will listen.】
【… …】
Amelia looked at the hand that was stroking her. For some reason, I knew right away that it was so cozy. An old body with a healthy complexion. It was the body of the heavenly god.
It was cut off by the ‘Lord of the Deep’ long ago in order to avoid the death that was set in Ragnarok.
Around the time she was pretending to be a fake Odin, ‘she’ was her used body.
This was the reason why the ‘lord of the deep sea’ had to recover his strength while sleeping until today.
【Ah… 】
With that thought, the fear disappeared as if it had been washed away.
That was natural. Odin, who was the god of wisdom, was the one that her master had to deal with and destroy. He is the god of gods who reached the peak of both wisdom and power.
【Do you wish for rest? Poor child.]
And he was the god that Odin used as an advisor.
Henir, God of Blessings. The first god who bestowed intellect on humans.
No wonder Amelia couldn’t win.
She missed her dearly, but she shuddered at the peace she could find nowhere else. Tears were also shed. Her hunger was all satisfied with just one touch.
She had to pray. She had to make a wish.
However, when she returns to the world she was born in, there is only despair. Amelia repented and blamed herself for her mistake. It was because he realized why Henir showed her her hometown.
Henir had been admonishing her. On the first and last day, don’t miss prayer.
So Amelia prayed as she wished without hesitation.
Henir, no. Her god answered her prayers.
【Your prayers have been heard. Rest now.]
─Sir.
Amelia closed her eyes and took her to rest.
Eternity existed. This is the end of the universe.
After happily disappearing, she presented
【… …】
Henir grabbed the thrones in his hands.
─Kwajik!
A radiance broke out in a space that had been filled with emptiness.
***
Right after the fight, someone appeared and ate the offspring of the fallen star.
Veronica had a hard time even understanding the process.
Suddenly, showers started pouring out of sync with the flow of the clouds, followed by lightning, and then a strange man appeared in front of the enemy he had slain.
And as soon as Lalilura snatched Dana away, darkness and Loki’s shouts broke out.
“It is Henir who has appeared now!! Henir, God of Great Blessing!!”
I only saw her for a moment, but her face and expression were definitely her own. Loki gnashed his teeth.
“He appeared riding the world tree in the basement of the temple!! I came to steal the
“You mean an enemy? It was an easy-to-understand explanation.”
Fran created several arms of the giant golem. It was a sharper and stronger arm than when it stabbed Ernst, if not as much as during the Wooshin subjugation.
The arms that grew out of the ground spread spears straight away.
─Kwagwagwak!!
The window wrapped in aura was stuck in the darkness. No, it seemed that way.
“… Everyone, be careful not to touch that void.”
The spears recovered by the arms of the golems had disappeared like sugar crafting after being placed in lava.
Kurrureuk… Kuruk!
Was it like that after 10 seconds? The darkness rolled across the floor like a black swamp collapsing, and the man reappeared. Amelia was nowhere to be found.
“…
Nefertiti, who was reluctant to attack for similar reasons to Dana, found the crown in Henir’s hand and murmured. It may not have been because of her words, but Henir soon raised the crown containing the power of the throne.
─Aww!!
And tore it like tearing a piece of candy.
Empty, empty…
Throwing away the crown that had become a lump of scrap metal, he looked at the women with weapons one by one, then met Loki’s eyes. He smiled softly, as he had in the old days.
【It’s been a while, Rodur.】
【… I know. But it’s not a very nice reunion, Billy.]
【Although we could have had a better reunion.】
Realizing what Henir was saying, Loki was almost speechless for a moment.
【Are you talking about your subordinate? I told him too, but he thinks it’s better to choose more friends. My sister and I are the same, but isn’t it your brother’s hobby to take care of crazy people?]
Despite the sarcasm that came back instead of an answer, Henir’s smile did not disappear.
【You weren’t the type to devote tens of thousands of years to helping humans.】
【… Oh, yes. That’s right, I was wrong. It’s not that God doesn’t change.]
It’s been almost tens of thousands of years since I’ve seen a face like this.
It was a long time for humans, and it was not a short period for gods either. Just as Loki in the early days of the Gods and the Crown Crown here were almost separate figures, Henir would be too.
Loki examined Henir’s body. He is invisible because of the robe, but he is definitely a body.
【I thought I wouldn’t be able to walk around because I didn’t have a body. I don’t know if I can like this.]
【This is the body the ‘Lord of the Deep’ created by removing parts of herself. Rahan found me in Niflheim. Still, I haven’t used it as much as possible until today.]
【… Who?]
【’Lord of the Deep’. The god of the other world who killed Njord and Odin.]
【That’s true, it sounds crazy and jumping up and down.】
Now that I see it, it seems that it is not only the personality that has changed. Loki let out a laugh.
【Isn’t it a hobby to play while changing bodies? If you change everything under your head, Henir = Billy and I know are 90% different gods.]
【But no matter how much it changes, I am me.】
He held out his hand to Loki. It was a gesture as if to lead his younger brother to follow.
【Will you go with me? Rodur.]
【Sorry. Now that I see it, not only my body, but my head is completely crazy. Since you don’t seem to know, I’ll tell you. I let Mr. Rahan something called your friend die?]
【That’s it. Since Rahan is dead, there is no God who will be with him for grafting.]
Grafting?
I didn’t know what he was doing, but it was clear that it wasn’t a good attempt. Loki clicked his tongue. She never agreed to the mad plan of her onetime half-brother, God.
【I’ll decline. If it’s someone else’s substitute, I’m already sick of continuing it for over 500 years.]
Loki covered the temple with illusions as he affirmed.
【Just stay there like a scarecrow!! I’ll look at the old affection and end it without hurting you!]
【I mean♡?】
As soon as the illusion unfolded, the thread was spread wide with the power of Lalilu.
Joint operations have been practiced several times. The space where it is difficult to tell the front and back due to fantasy was the best stage where the spatial perception of 【The Horseshoe of the Pocheon】 was effective.
Originally, it was a strategy that Loki used to use alone, but it is unlikely that Henir knew about it.
By the time Loki was with Henir, he didn’t use thread. Loki=Rodur in the days of Yu-Hee-God wasn’t a fighter, and his main tactic was illusion.
“Pour down ranged attacks!”
Veronica shouted and used the remaining mana to fire the magic as much as possible. Frando, Danado, and Nefertiti also aimed at Henir, using their own techniques and magic.
【It’s a disappointing answer.】
Henir only answered Loki and cut his finger.
… Rattle!!! A certain wave swept through the temple.
“… Uh?”
It was Lalilura who first realized the sense of incongruity.
Among them, the one whose bodily senses were the most sensitive—among them all—was Fran. But she couldn’t detect the franc. Only Lalilura and Dana noticed.
‘Go to Valkyrie… ?!’
The authority of the throne does not activate.
With her wings gone, Dana loses her weapon and Val Curier, and her thread surrounding Henir disappears in an instant. The authority itself was not removed. Loki was unaffected.
Nefertiti, who was running with the thread of power as a shield, opened his eyes wide.
“… Only the human throne was destroyed!!”
Nefertiti rarely raised her voice, but she had to.
A power that makes her descend from her throne that is not her own!
Their fighting ability is high, but the fighting power of the strongest Dana and Ralilura is completed by the authority of the throne of God. And it’s faster for them to count from the back after taking out the Shinjwa.
Is it authority or magic?
Whatever it was, this momentary gap was fatal to them who had already entered the offensive. Waves of clarity rushed from Henir’s hand, wrapping around the runes.
None of them could defend against the god’s attack with only their human bodies.
Of the people left in the temple right now, only one person can do that.
… Simplicity and honesty!
When all of them remembered the face of someone who was not here, the ground suddenly split.
As if someone had been knocked with intense force underground.
“Bitter, I don’t have good memories of water-type elves.”
─Quaaaaang!!!!
Nord, who flew in while grinding the ground, threw Brunak away.
【Geirtýr ᚠᚢᚦᚨᚱᚴ】·ᚱ(Raidō)
The spear that escaped the dimension broke Henir’s completed spell.
