Resurrected Immortal 238

Chapter 238 – 238. Consumables to Persons (2)

[Whoops, did Skuld say that?]

“… Yes.”

At Belldandy’s question, who smiled happily, Eunhyun nodded with a complicated expression.
The polite words of apology he received along with the words of acknowledging his actions resonated in Eun-hyeon’s heart.
However, rather than positive emotions such as joy or emotion, it led to a reaction tinged with embarrassment of not knowing how to react.

[That’s good.]

While Eun-hyeon was showing an ambiguous response, Belldandi hugged Eun-hyeon tightly and stroked her hair.

[Isn’t it a pleasure? Finally, Skuld was also acknowledging the achievements the child had made so far.]

“That’s true…”

[How about just accepting it positively now?]

“… Yes. Okay.”

Eunhyeon had no choice but to nod her head at Belldandi’s words.
As Belldandy’s arms that had been holding him tightly loosened and he held Eun-hyeon’s hand, the background of the space surrounding the two changed like water after the paint had been released.
A conference hall that I remembered visiting while attending a meeting of the goddesses before.

“Goddess? Why am I here… ?”

[I asked for a little help because I thought the child would be worried.]

“Help? What is that…”

The moment she was about to continue her conversation with a puzzled expression, Eun-hyeon hurriedly lowered her head at the sight of another god appearing in the meeting room.

“It is an honor to meet you. That… Miss Proserpina.”

[Oh? Do you know my name?]

“Because I met you at the last meeting I attended.”

As Proserpina’s surprised expression changed to a smile, she was greeted by Eunhyun.

[Okay. Nice to meet you again too. Your story is currently a hot topic even among the gods.]

“Such a pity…”

The apostles of the three goddesses of the Norn were the topic of discussion among the gods, as they were officially awarded the ‘Hammer of Vulcanos’ at the last meeting and received the ‘Aegis’ privately from Minerva.
A new ‘half god’ who accomplished many achievements in the underworld as an apostle and possessed divine power by holding the weapon of a god in his soul.
There were many gods who were curious about how a being who was just a common, common, ordinary-born human with no divine blood mixed in could have grown to this extent.
The gods do not know that the beginning of having that divine power was not only due to the ‘Armor of God’, but also ‘having a relationship with their own goddess’.
Eunhyeon felt a little uncomfortable about the gods’ excessive attention.
He quickly opened his mouth to change the topic.

“The reason why our Goddess brought me here is…”

Proserpina is the wife of Pluto, the owner of the underworld, and the mistress of the underworld.
As she is a goddess who manages many aspects of the dead, such as punishment, purification, and reincarnation of the souls of the dead, Eun-hyeon realized why Belldandi brought her to meet Proserpina.
She was the consideration of a goddess who prepared to relieve her of what she was worried about.

[The deceased who was said to be your teacher has properly arrived in the underworld.]

“Ahhh…”

As the Death Knight’s body disappeared, Verdandi asked Proserpina to convince Eunhyeon of her worries, in case the soul of Siete was returned to Mediah.
At Pro Serpina’s words, Eun-hyeon gave a small sigh and knelt down on her floor.
The fact that the teacher’s soul has been properly put to rest resonates in Eun-hyeon’s heart.
Various emotions such as relief, joy, and sadness raged, and the sighs turned into sobs that gave rise to minute tremors.
He desperately held back the tears that were about to come out of his eyes, and forcibly held back the emotions of sadness from flowing down with silent sobs.
Eventually, Eun-hyeon, who somehow managed to calm her mind, got up from her seat again and bowed her head to Pro Serpina, who conveyed the happy fact to her, and conveyed her polite thanks.

“He looked ugly. And… Thank you for confirming my master’s rest… Thank you very much.”

Proserpina smiled and shook her head.

[No. The existence of a necromancer who forcibly holds the souls of the dead who are supposed to come to the underworld to the underworld and ignores dignity was a problem that even the beings of the underworld, including my husband, could not easily overlook.]

Eun-hyeon listened to Proserpina’s words and she remembered the explanation of the goddess she had given at her conference hall in the past.

– I’m sorry, but it’s like that. If those souls arrive only in the underworld, they can take river water that annihilates them without a purification process, but… As long as the souls are bound to the underworld, it is impossible for me or my husband to use their hands. Interference with the lower world is really difficult to break through. In the first place, that existence is truly an out-of-standard existence. An existence that intervenes in the underworld and forcibly takes out souls…

A transcendental being who can interfere with the underworld.
It means that the opponent Eun-hyeon killed once grew into a more powerful being by facing that death and became an existence outside the human category.
It implied that Mediah was a difficult existence that even the gods could not handle.

[That’s why I, and my husband, have high expectations of you.]

“Yes?”

[The child… It is my child.]

At Proserpina’s sudden words, Verdandy interrupted the conversation with a look of caution.

[Whoops, that’s not what I mean. You seem to be very fond of your apostle.]

[That’s not true…]

The cool Belldandy avoided Proserpina’s gaze, showing a shy expression.

“Proserpina-sama, I have one more favor to ask of you.”

[Are you trying to ask if the souls of the people you had a relationship with belonged to the necromancer in the same situation as your teacher?]

“Ah… Yes.”

In response to Proserpina’s question, who could see right through her question, Eun-hyeon blankly nodded her head in affirmation.
It was a response that seemed to be an expected question.

[No worries, everyone is in the underworld or reincarnated while passing through the underworld. Oh, just…]

“But… ?”

[There are very rare cases where even if you become a dead person, you don’t come to the underworld right away. Whoops.]

“What is that… ?”

The vague explanation was enough to bring out a puzzled expression that Eunhyeon doesn’t normally make.

[The things you worry about didn’t happen, so you don’t have to worry too much.]

“All right.”

She explained something in an ambiguous tone, but Eunhyeon nodded her head after hearing the goddess reassuring her with a confident tone.

[This is a gift from me and my husband to you.]

Before Eun-hyeon had time to react, she closed the distance from him and placed her right hand on Eun-hyeon’s left chest, where her heart was.
The holy flame, the white flame that rises from the goddess’ right hand, burns brightly and soon seeps into Eun-hyeon’s body.

“This…”

Eun-hyeon, who felt a sensation similar to when she received the previous ‘Hammer of Vulcanos’ and ‘Aegis’, sensed the divine energy spreading throughout her body.

[It’s called ‘cornucopia’. In other words, it is also called the ‘horn of plenty’. It will increase the divine power in your body, which will be of great help.]

“This… Is it okay if you give it to me?”

[I should have told you earlier, right? My husband and I have high expectations of you. You are almost the only one who can stand up to the necromancer who has already shed his human mask and become a transcendental being in the underworld. If you feel burdened by the divine weapon I gave you, prove your qualifications to rightfully possess the weapon by defeating the necromancer.]

“…”

Given that he was expecting quite a lot, Eunhyeon put on a strange expression that was indescribable to his awkwardness.

[Whoops, and Cornucopia also has another effect.]

“Is it an effect?”

[It’s an increase in energy.]

“… !”

Eunhyun made a surprised expression at the clear explanation that did not require detailed words.
Soon, he turns his head away from Proserpina and avoids her gaze in an effort to hide his embarrassment.

[How can you be so mean to me, my child… !]

[Oh? I heard that she has two wives?]

“Oh, well, that… That’s right, but…”

[I’ve heard that human men can die from having too many relationships. So, along with the increase in divine power, I gave you an armament that can be of great help in the underworld… Don’t you need it?]

“Required! Really need it! Thank you! Miss Proserpina!”

[Hey…]

Seeing Eunhyeon hurriedly shaking his head and expressing his gratitude, fearing that he would retrieve it again, Belldandi looked at Eunhyeon with a pitiful look.

“Goddess. Goddess-sama may not know, but lately I really feel my life threatened because of Illyana and Eleanor.”

[No… I know that well.]

“Yes?”

A question arose in Eun-hyeon’s mind as to why Belldandi, who always disappeared when Eun-hyeon and her wives had a relationship, knew about it.
Soon, in order to clear her doubts, she recalled her past memories again.

-Didn’t I tell you? Although she could not interfere, she watched her child’s every move. That…

-No way… Did you watch all of them?

“Goddess, please…”

[…]

Does this mean that the act of voyeurism has been performed in the divine realm all along?
Like Eunhyeon, it seemed as if she was embarrassed, and Belldandi turned her head away from Eunhyeon and avoided her gaze.

[Whoops, then I’m done.]

“Ah yes… Soul confirmation from Master and others, thank you very much.”

Eunhyeon suddenly regained her senses at Proserpina’s words and bowed her head.
There was an incident for a while, but when she heard about the whereabouts of the souls of Xie Te and other past ties, which she was constantly worried about in a corner of her heart, her worries melted away like snow.
Proserpina left, leaving only Eunhyeon and Belldandy in the conference room.

“…”

[…]

Recalling the incident from earlier, only awkward silence lingered between the goddess and the apostle.
It was Eun-hyeon who broke the silence first.

“Goddess.”

[… Why?]

“Thank you.”

[… ?]

“You asked the god of the underworld for me and arranged this kind of event for me.”

Belldandy hugged Eunhyeon again and stroked his hair.

[I just wanted to relieve the child’s worries. Thank you. Just…]

As Belldandi’s arms were holding her with more strength, she hugged Eunhyeon’s upper body tightly.
Belldandi’s chest pressed harder.

[As long as the child doesn’t get hurt anymore and works hard like now, that’s enough.]

“Thank you.”

[Haaa…]

After hugging each other tightly and confirming their feelings, Belldandy made a decision.

[I can’t do that.]

“Yes?”

[I don’t think I can stand it anymore.]

After those words, the scenery surrounding the goddess and the apostle became cloudy again like the water in a cup that had been drained of paint, and a single room was formed.
It was a virtual space that Eunhyeon was very familiar with, imitating her own room in the dungeon house.
She was not too surprised because she had experienced it once, her first relationship with a goddess, but was rather surprised by something else.
It was because the familiar smell of chestnut flowers had been wafting from there since then, as if no time had passed at all.
Eun-hyeon doesn’t know that Belldandi fixed the time of this space at that time and made it stop, and watched Eun-hyeon and her wives form relationships and covet love in the underworld, comforting themselves by smelling Eun-hyeon. .

“Goddess? Here is…”

At the same time as the space changed, Eun-hyeon lost her words when she saw Belldandy’s outrageously sensational outfit, which had already materialized.

“Come closer.”

“… Yes?”

The beautiful yet slender fingers of the goddess slid into the trousers of her goddess’ apostle.
