Chapter 218 – 218. God’s Puppet (3)
I met many heroes and talented people, and made various connections to overcome the situation.
It must have been the result of Eun-hyeon’s power to twist fate.
Could it have been influenced by the power of destiny-making given by Skuld?
Or is fate really actively using Eun-hyeon?
The truth about the providence of the world is a matter of a higher dimension that even Belldandi cannot know.
[There were always people around the child who fought alongside the child. But the only thing left at the end was always a child.]
“… Tsk.”
After hearing Belldandi’s explanation, Illyana remembered Medea’s words she had met once before and clicked her tongue.
– An immortal being who lives eternal life always has to let someone go.
Why is it that at this moment, the words of the woman that she hates to think of are coming to mind.
[Even before I met that elf child, there were signs of this. In the end, it exploded at this point, and the restriction of the goddess we put on was activated.]
When the war with the demons continued on Earth, Ju Hyeon-seong, who laid the foundation for Eun-hyeon’s physical skills, lost his life in the fight against the demons, entrusting his daughter to Eun-hyeon.
Xie Te, who taught swordsmanship, believes that Eun-hyeon, who has no talent, will be able to catch up to her level someday no matter how much time it takes at the end of his efforts, he teaches all his skills and meets the end like Ju Hyeon-seong.
The ‘weapon’ that taught spearmanship, the devil’s spear Brunak, when Eunhyeon sealed the demon archduke Astaroth, accumulated damage from Astaroth’s attacks along with the main body of the spear itself, ending its lifespan as a weapon.
In the gloomy era of emptiness, where thousands and tens of thousands of people died every day, they joined forces with many people to push all demons back to the other side of the void and seal it, and the fight was able to end with mankind’s victory.
Eun-hyeon knew that it was a situation where many sacrifices were inevitable in the process, so he had no choice but to choose to walk forward using those sacrifices as a stepping stone while rejecting it with emotion.
[Although it was unconscious, it was an incident here that made the child first decide to prioritize other things over the role of an apostle.]
After losing Sylvia, Eun-hyeon obeyed the law of restriction of the goddess, which was imprinted with power in her soul, and played a role that strictly followed the law.
In fact, the moment of realizing that limitation over 60 years meant that Eun-hyeon had truly become the ‘goddess’ apostle’.
[Sometimes the choice to save one person at the expense of many people, sometimes the choice to save the many at the expense of a small number of people, thoroughly exclude one’s feelings and hide and conceal one’s feelings, telling oneself that this choice is the right thing to do. Has been done.]
He went so far as to show that he wouldn’t hesitate to take advantage of any scum villain behind his back, if available while being thoroughly bound by the rules instilled in his own soul.
[And at the end of the war, the child alone defended against tens of thousands of monsters, and met his end at the end.]
“Ah…”
Upon hearing Eunhyun’s last words, Eleanor gave a small sigh.
Soon, he looked at Illyana’s eyes, who would have faced the scene directly at that time.
“…”
With a frown on her face as if she didn’t like her, Illyana immersed herself in her bathtub.
“Bad X meal…”
“Yes?”
“If you do this, you can’t even resent me for dying like that.”
“Ah…”
Witnessing that a single tear flowed from her tightly closed eyes and fell into her bathtub, Eleanor gave a small sigh and hugged Illyana’s head and patted her on the back to comfort her. Was
For Illyana, who has lived alone for nearly 20 years without forgetting her grace, the past of her grace told by the goddess made her think about various things.
“I’ll even tell you… You stupid X. Really…”
“Iknow, right…”
Foolish.
Stupid.
The way of thinking and logic you have is a mess and a mess.
While she said that, she sympathized with Illyana’s words, but the reason she couldn’t blame Eun-hyeon was because she knew the weight of the burden she had been carrying.
Even though she contradicts herself like that and her heart has no choice but to be cut, she understands Eun-hyeon’s heart that she had to walk forward.
[Sorry…]
“No. Are you okay. Eventually… You brought Hyuni back to life. Furthermore… She heard that she even removed the ‘restriction’ from her soul.”
[That… It was purely my greed.]
She wanted to live a free and happy life, free from the restrictions of God.
That was the only reward that Belldandy could give to Eun-hyeon, who had walked the path of asceticism for a long time as her own disciple.
“That alone is tantamount to giving me a lifetime of grace.”
No matter how much he was his own apostle, could there be a god who tried to persuade other gods to revive a human being and came down to the underworld where he could not normally intervene to watch that human being by his side?
Even if restrictions were placed in Eun-hyeon’s soul to force her actions, putting aside her position and role as a god, Belldandy’s thoughts toward Eun-hyeon were genuine.
Besides, which goddess can she choose to mix her body with a human?
If Eun-hyeon was resentful of Belldandi and the other goddesses, she wouldn’t even have her relationship with Belldandy.
[I was also very grateful that the witch child had the courage to approach my child.]
After her resurrection, when she visits Eun-hyeon’s room, gives her stamina pills, and conveys her feelings through a radical act of attacking him, the scene where Eun-hyeon, who has lost the restrictions of her soul, accepts Illyana’s heart and decides to have a relationship with Verdandi. Looked on with delight.
In this way, the wives of the goddess and the apostle spent time talking honestly to each other.

“Hey, Her Majesty the Queen…”
There was no suitable place to talk, so in the end, the place Eunhyeon and Regina chose to talk was Derkin and Alice’s house.
Alice could not hide her embarrassment at the sudden visit of the Elf Queen and hurriedly knelt down to bow.
“I’m sorry for coming so suddenly. Alice.”
“Hey, it’s an honor.”
“Can we talk for a while and then go?”
“Sure.”
“Thank you. By the way…”
Regina glanced at Eun-hyeon’s face, and as if she was surprised, she continued her words.
“While Alice was traveling with her teacher’s group… The relationship is really strange.”
“… Teacher?”
Alice, who didn’t understand who the hell she was referring to, turned her head to follow Regina’s gaze with a puzzled expression on her face, and her mouth stiffened when she noticed that the queen’s gaze was on Eunhyun.
“Stop, please… ?”
“Yes. This is the teacher who taught me directly when I was young. It is more than 300 years old now.”
“Really…”
Alice couldn’t keep her mouth shut at the fact that she couldn’t believe it, even though she herself explained that it was so.
“Sit down for now. I’ll get the car out right away. The escorts also come in.”
“Excuse me.”
The elves of the Elven Guard nodded at Alice’s polite invitation and followed Regina and Eunhyeon into the house.
Afterwards, while drinking the tea Alice brought, Eunhyeon opened her mouth.
“The magic power of the World Tree is decreasing compared to 300 years ago.”
“I guess you know…”
Regina, who salivated at her exact point, nodded her head in affirmation with a heavy expression.
Unlike ordinary elves, the lineage of the elven queen, who is directly blessed by the world tree, can feel the power of the divine power at least in part.
Perhaps the reason why the previous queen of the elves entrusted her young daughter, Regina, to Eun-hyeon, a human from another race, was because she felt the remnants of the goddess imprinted in Eun-hyeon’s body and soul.
Regina had her say.
“As you said, the power of the World Tree is gradually decreasing. As a result, all the spirits contracted with the blessing of the World Tree are losing their power. Furthermore… At the same time, even the land that was rich with the blessing of the World Tree is gradually drying up.”
“Your strength is diminishing… This must have been the reason why the Elven Guards I encountered at the entrance couldn’t use spirit magic.”
“Yes. And I’m so sorry. I couldn’t recognize the teacher, and we excused ourselves…”
“No, that’s fine. Rather, the fact that there were a lot of elves who couldn’t recognize my face meant that a lot of new elves were born.”
Considering that the number of elves had decreased significantly due to the struggle against the Dark Elves, he thought it was a very good sign.
“You wrote a lot.”
“What are you saying? It’s a natural thing to do as a queen.”
“What about your ancestors?”
“Give me the throne, and now you are living in seclusion.”
“I see.”
Eunhyun, who nodded her head slightly, stared at Regina quietly.
With bright blonde hair, a sharp nose, off-white features, and a slender face, it is no longer the image of a young elf from 300 years ago.
“He has grown up a lot. I can’t even tease you anymore.”
“Whoops, I’m no longer a child. Teacher. She is the queen But it’s nice to hear a compliment that I haven’t heard in a while.”
Perhaps it was because they hadn’t seen each other in a while, but Regina was in a good mood when she met Eunhyeon.
After a short greeting, Eunhyun immediately returned to the main topic.
“On the way here, I met a group of Dark Elves.”
“… Please tell me in detail.”
Eun-hyeon told Regina that she was performing a ritual by raiding a small village and massacring the humans she had kidnapped.
“I killed all of them, but there must be a separate chief who led the Dark Elves.”
“I think so.”
“Didn’t the Dark Elves play tricks here after I left?”
Regina shook her head with her serious face in denial.
“No. But… “
I turned my head and looked at the huge tree beyond the window, the World Tree.
Eunhyun understood the meaning of Regina’s gaze and nodded.
“Do you think the cause of the World Tree’s power decline is related to the actions of the Dark Elves?”
“I’m not sure. Only…”
“I see what you mean.”
Making a gesture of understanding, Eunhyeon stood up and thanked Alice for serving her tea.
“You had a good tea.”
“Are you going?”
“I came here as soon as I arrived to rest today. My wives are waiting at my house too. I’ll go back to Regina tomorrow.”
Regina’s eyebrows moved slightly at the mention of the word ‘wife’.
“Marriage… I heard you did.”
“Huh. So… I came to see Sylvia.”
“Are these the two women you saw then?”
“That’s right.”
“Okay… What is your schedule for tomorrow?”
“For now, the visit to the tomb is over, and there are other purposes as well… We will talk about this tomorrow.”
Now that this has happened, instead of hiding the story about Alvin, there was room for consideration to disclose it altogether and actively seek permission.
At the beginning, she put on a shy expression, but it was the result of thinking about the possibility that Regina might be able to understand Alvin’s current situation, just like Alice, who heard all about Alvin’s circumstances and comforted him.
“All right.”
After finishing the story, Regina and the Elven Guard elves who had left earlier were sent off, and Eun-hyeon also greeted Alice and left her house.
A lot of time had passed and the sun had already set, and it was dinner time for Eun-hyeon. As she thought that today had been a very long day, she looked up at the house that was being built on top of a tree.
“It’s been a really long time.”
It was a house where Sylvia and I had lived for close to 10 years, but the flowing time itself was over 300 years old.
It was showing that it was true that steady management was continuing under Regina’s instructions.
I confirmed that the light was leaking from the windows of the wooden building, where memories of the past remained, and went up the stairs and entered the house.
As soon as she opened the door, the scenery of the living room tickled Eun-hyeon’s heart, arousing her familiar feelings even after a long time of 300 years.
“Ah… Are you here?”
Eleanor, who noticed Eun-hyeon entering the living room, greeted her with an awkward expression.
“Have you been washing?”
“Yes yes.”
Eleanor, who blushes and averts her gaze, covering her naked body with her towel as if slightly embarrassed, has a neat appearance that is completely different from her appearance when she is in a relationship. Am.
The water droplets dripping from her body, covering only her important parts, are very sensual and beautiful.
Eun-hyeon took out Eleanor’s clothes from her luggage in her living room and moved to put them on her.
“Town!?”
As the distance between the two grew closer, Eleanor suddenly grabbed Eun-hyeon’s face and kissed her.
Pressing her bare breasts tightly, she kindly put her tongue into her mouth, and the two of them entangled their tongues and coveted each other’s saliva.
A short kiss full of affection was over.
The solid line made of saliva was cut off and the two people’s faces moved away and stared at each other.
“… What happened?”
Concerned about the pitiful gaze looking at her, Eunhyeon asked.
“I heard you. The story of the owner of this house and you in this village.”
“…”
I could immediately recall who said it without even bothering to ask.
‘I thought you didn’t see it for some reason, but you followed the two.’
Eunhyeon didn’t think much of it when she told the story of her past to her two wives.
I could understand what Belldandi meant by bringing up the story with Sylvia.
Even that must be an act of consideration and concern for oneself, what can I say?
“Who is the goddess?”
“You have ascended to the divine realm. Now in the bathroom… Illiana is alone. I’m fine but… After hearing your story, Illyana-sama seems more depressed than me.”
“I just made you worry.”
“No. Not so. It was nice to hear your story. Good at the same time… It was such a sad story.”
Eleanor shook her head in denial.
“I’ll be waiting for you in the living room.”
Eleanor untied her embrace and began to dress her.
Eun-hyeon nodded her head, took off her clothes and went straight into her bathroom.
