Chapter 215 – 215 – Golden Apple
#
Unknown space.
Woojin was standing in an empty space that could be called emptiness.
“Is this a dream?…”
In that space, a certain person started walking toward Woo-jin.
Again – Again –
A mysterious figure who has come to a distance where you can even check his face.
Blue-haired woman.
She was a beautiful woman, worthy of being called a goddess.
[Yes that’s right. Goddess.]
“Yes?”
Woojin is confused.
Did you read my thoughts anyway?
[The real god is right. So I can read your thoughts too. We will formally introduce you. My name is Athena. The world calls her the goddess of wisdom.]
“Athena?”
Athena.
It was a famous god that I had heard of at least once in my life.
Because of this, Woojin knew what kind of existence Athena was.
Most of the other Greek gods are missing a screw or have bad personalities, but Athena herself is the normal among her gods.
But… Woojin just didn’t like the race itself.
From the moment he heard from Yumi that all of this was due to God’s play, he developed a bad image of God and even hated him.
No matter how good Athena is, a god is a god.
That’s why I didn’t feel good about it.
And Woo-jin, who thought that he came with the intention of fucking himself…
Whiik-
As she was, she threw her fist at Athena.
Whether that woman is a god or whatever, this is Woojin’s dream.
Although Woo-jin doesn’t have the ability to control dreams, he thought he could punch a race of gods in his dreams.
But…
Fang-
Woojin’s fist was blocked by the invisible transparent wall.
However, the pain in the fist following the blow was not felt at all.
It just felt like being attacked.
“Fuck…”
When his own attack didn’t reach him, Woojin spat out a curse.
Even though it was her own dream, she couldn’t even hit the existence of God…
Woo-jin felt resentment and anger at not being able to do what he wanted even though it was his dream.
“If only you weren’t there!”
Woojin punches again.
However, as before, Woojin’s blow did not reach Athena.
But Woojin didn’t stop.
Paang- Paang- Paang- Paang-
I poured out all the attacks with all my strength and the strikers I had learned so far.
But like before, Woojin’s attack didn’t reach at all.
How much time has passed like that
“Haha…”
Woojin struggled to catch his breath, exhausted from the effort.
However, Woojin’s eyes were looking at Athena with deathly eyes.
Athena, on the other hand, had a sad expression…
[Calm down. I know you hate God, but I’m here to help you, so please calm down.]
Woojin looking at Athena.
I don’t know if the existence of Athena in front of me is a real god, or if it’s an illusion created in a dream…
[I entered Woo-jin’s dream through divine power.]
As expected, Athena in front of her eyes must have been a god, and she read Woo-jin’s memory again and spoke.
“…”
Is it because I’m going through a lot of unusual things these days?
Woojin, who used to be an atheist, has now started to believe in the existence of God.
It’s been a bit of a bad turn, but…
Anyway, because of this, Athena decided to believe what she said in Ugin’s dream.
Woojin switches from being alert to being comfortable.
“Are you helping me anyway?”
Even though Athena was a god, Woo-jin did not call her high.
Rather, he treated Athena with mean words.
[Yes. I think this game is very wrong. Because innocent humans could be played by the gods and face ruin. I intend to make it all right.]
Correct Yu-hee…
I had heard about Yu-hee from Yu-mi, but I didn’t know the details about Yu-hee because I heard it in a general way.
Come to think of it, she said that there was someone else who gave information about Yu-hee to Yu-mi, but she seemed to say that she was definitely an unusual person.
I wondered if I had to be like Athena to become that kind of person.
[It is true that I gave the tip to a woman named Yumi, but I delivered it through someone’s help, not me.]
Athena’s words were vague.
Woojin thought it was Athena, but judging from what she said now, it seems that she passed the information to Yumi through someone else.
[This is going to be a bit long for an accurate explanation. Before explaining in detail, I’m going to call one of the administrators of this game. Is that okay?]
“Yu-hee’s manager?”
[Yes. Yu-hee’s birth background and goals. In order to explain why this happened, I think it’s right to listen to the explanation of the god related to Yu-hee. Originally, I was going to call the god I designed for Yu-Gi… But he’s absent right now. So I’m going to call Shin, the manager of Yu-hee, to explain instead. If you listen to her, Woo-jin will be one step closer to the truth.]
“Well…”
Worried Woojin.
Athena’s attitude until just now seemed to be speaking for herself.
As I said earlier, Athena is the top of the Greek gods full of abnormalities.
Since Athena is like that, I thought it was right to listen to her first.
For myself…
And for those who acted for me…
Woojin nodded at Athena’s words.
“Call me.”
[All right.]
Athena heard Ugin’s words and lightly snapped her fingers.
Just-
Then a huge hole appeared in the air,
[Aaaaa!]
Someone hit his butt and fell to the floor.
[Quaaaaang! Aw… It hurts…]
The fallen figure is a woman with a different feeling from Athena…
A mischievous woman was rubbing her buttocks in pain.
[Hey! It hurts! What if I suddenly drop it like this?!]
A woman…No, another goddess is angry with Athena…
Athena ignored the goddess and continued her explanation.
[Let me introduce you. This is Eris, one of the administrators of this game.]
[Hey! Don’t ignore it!]
Eris?
Ugin had never heard of her goddess named Eris.
At least, the name Eris (= Ellis) is used as a human name.
She seemed to be a goddess of some level, as she was on an equal footing with Athens, but she didn’t know of her existence at all because Woo-jin was not very interested in myths or tales.
[Excuse me. You don’t know me.]
Eris starts to explain various things with an arrogant expression.
I open my chest with a confident attitude and start talking…
Trojan War? The Battle for Golden Apples?
It seemed like he had heard of this or that.
[Eris. That’s not important. Didn’t I call you to increase your followers?]
[Ah… That’s right…]
At Athena’s words, Eris’s proud atmosphere faded.
[From now on, Eris will explain Yugi to you. Eris.]
[I know… Um… So… I mean…]
Eris started to explain Yoo-hee to Woo-hee.
I heard it from Yumi, but I heard more detailed elements one after another.
A lot of information came in, but the most shocking thing was that all of this happened to improve the marital relationship between Zeus and Hera.
“Haha… The more you listen, the better it gets, right?”
Kururung-
Hearing that, Woo-jin suddenly became angry.
Suddenly, a large thunderbolt struck all around.
Wow!
Where the lightning struck, there was a crackle and an electric current.
[For a moment! Seriously… Great!]
[Hee!]
Athena stopping Woojin.
But I couldn’t stop it.
Coo goong-
Kwaaang-
It was because the lightning from Woojin was very dangerous.
Kwaaang-
Kwaaang-
Kwaaang-
Woojin’s lightning continued to strike…
Athena and Eris moved their bodies back as if they felt they were in danger.
Curling–
How much time has passed Suddenly, Woojin’s thunderbolt subsided.
Athena and Eris were finally able to look straight at Woojin…
[That’s…]
[Did you completely assimilate with Zeus?…]
Woojin’s appearance has changed into Jinwoo’s appearance using the avatar function… Or more.
As Eris said, Woojin’s energy seemed to have completely assimilated with Zeus, the guardian god, and he felt tremendous power.
You could tell how angry he was from Woojin’s stern expression, and as if to embody that anger, a huge electric current flickered around his body.
Seeing this, the two goddesses swallowed their saliva.
It was because even if this was Woojin’s dream, not reality, if he received that divine power as it was, he could suffer a blow that he could not ignore.
“Therefore? What do you say to me…”
Woojin takes a step forward.
[…
[There… So…]
In response, Eris took a step back.
There was a considerable distance between Eris and Ugin, but Ujin’s crackling energy and momentum made Eris retreat.
Athena stood still in her seat.
“It’s all your gods’ fault, understand and forgive the people involved in Yu-Hee?”
[That’s…]
[Aaaaa… Do something!]
Athena can’t give a proper answer.
Then Eris grabbed Athena and she begged to do something.
As Woo-jin said, Athena…
The painting that Athena wanted was for mutual understanding and reconciliation.
Athena admitted that she was the fault of herself, she was the gods, so she approached Woo-jin, the most important person in Yu-hee, and she made Yu-hee understand and she decided to lessen his anger even a little.
But…
Prick-Pick-Pick-Pick-
That thought seemed wrong.
“How much I suffered for this… Do you think I’ll be convinced by something like that?”
One step.
“There is a degree to ignoring people.”
One step.
“I didn’t want you guys to play games like this in the first place…”
One step.
Suddenly, the distance between Athena and Ugin was only about an arm’s length away.
Athena looks at Woo-jin with a nervous expression.
Eris, frightened, was already behind me.
She reached out her hand to Woojin’s side.
Then, a huge amount of electricity flowed through her hand, and the shape of her short spear took shape.
[Astrafe…]
[That… Why is he…]
Huge amount of energy.
Astraphe, the lightning bolt used by Zeus, was running rampant in Woojin’s hand.
[Gulp-]
If it fired at Athena, it was clear that Athena would suffer great damage.
[Athena Shield! Take out the Aegis! If that’s right, it won’t be serious!]
Eris commanding something behind Athena’s back.
Athena had been hurt by Eris in many ways, so she didn’t want to listen to Eris, but now it’s an emergency.
I decided to listen to Eris.
Athena stretched out her arms in the air and summoned her shield.
Immediately after that, a spear of lightning rushed at Athena.
Wheeik-
The transparent wall surrounded by divine power was quickly destroyed to the point of not knowing its existence, and the spear of lightning struck Athena’s shield as it was.
Kwaaang-! Kwaaang-!
A confrontation between the strongest spear and the strongest shield.
It was a picture of a dragon and tiger in a confrontation between a spear that could pierce anything and a shield that could block everything, but Athena was still at a much disadvantage.
Athena was also in a defensive position, and the current Ugin was displaying abilities comparable to Zeus.
In addition, Athena intervened in Yu-hee and gave a revelation to Seo-yeon, consuming a lot of divine power, and also consuming divine power in entering Woo-jin’s dream, so Athena was not very relaxed.
“You guys! Only that play! Even if you didn’t! Up to this point! Too bad!”
Woo-jin runs amok with anger.
Woojin threw a thunderbolt at Athena in time.
Bang- bang- bang- bang- bang-
[I’m sorry…]
Athena struggled to block it and tried to find a trick to get out of the current situation… But it didn’t come to her easily.
By the way…
[Do you think everything would have been fine without Yu-hee?]
Suddenly, Eris, who was hiding behind, spoke to Woojin.
“What?…”
[Do you think everything would have been fine without Yu-hee?]
Woojin stops the attack at Eris’s words…
“Of course. If you guys hadn’t acted strangely, I wouldn’t have suffered like this. Why? Am I wrong?”
[Yes. Out of it.]
Eris refutes Woojin’s words with a serious expression.
Is it because Eris is too confident? Woojin calmly looked at Eris.
[Why I am saying this, I will tell you now.]
…
Eris came forward and started explaining things to Woojin.
[First of all, you and Hera’s humans were born from Yu-hee’s design.]
Eris says that without Yu-hee, Woo-jin and Sia would not have been born.
[And if we hadn’t started playing after designing the game… That is, if we hadn’t given you the app, we could have lived a normal life. But…]
She said that Sia is destined to have an affair in the distant future with a not small probability.
[The future where the gap between the two gradually widens, and Shia, a human, sets out to find new pleasures for her as her eyes grow higher. It’s a relatively small future, but it can happen enough.]
The cause, as Eris said, is the difference between the two.
It is said that there are various factors that Woojin has been conscious of from before, such as appearance, wealth, and ability.
And I was able to hear some pretty shocking stories.
[As I said earlier, the human named Shia was created by our design. Shia’s mother was a human who fell in love, and she was a human who made fun of her body… Wouldn’t she be the daughter of reckless adultery?]
She seemed to be talking with a little twist, but Woojin could tell what Eris was talking about.
“What? Wait, so you’re saying that Sia isn’t her uncle’s biological child?”
[Was the person called Mr. Lee Tae-seong a human? That’s right. I guess she didn’t know yet? Um… Come to think of it, she probably doesn’t even know.]
“What is that…”
[Because he, like you, drank the river of oblivion. I thought you drank a few sips because it was so painful at the time?]
“A river of oblivion?…”
When she inquired about the river of oblivion, she was told that it had the ability to permanently erase her memories if she drank it.
Hearing that, she remembered old memories that had been empty for days before.
“Then did I drink the river of oblivion too?!”
[Yes. You drank the river of oblivion and lost your memory due to Shia and Lee Tae-seong’s plot.]
Athena answers instead of Eris.
It was a shock before, but now is the biggest shock.
“Why the hell…? Why? Why?!”
[That’s probably because the two of them have a reality they want to hide from Woo-jin…]
Hearing Athena’s words reminded her of how she had been good to her.
Bought a watch, bought a car…
The disgust that reminded me of various things came up.
But if you lost your memory, there must be a way to get it back.
Woojin asked how to find memories.
“Then is there a way to find lost memories?”
[That’s… Very difficult…]
Athena with a dark expression.
Since the river of oblivion is an object of the underworld, he said that it is difficult to offset the effect with an object of this world.
As proof of that, the proof is that Woo-jin has not yet been able to find his memory even though he has obtained divine power comparable to that of Zeus…
But…
[Yes, there is.]
Eris answered with confidence that there was a way.
At the same time, I take something out of my arms…
[With this golden apple, I can find your memories.]
Eris holds out a golden apple.
[Eris, that’s…]
[Because it was that human being who chose the person to give the golden apple to. And Hera looks hopeless, and Aphrodite is imprisoned by Hephaestus, so aren’t you the only one left?]
“The Golden Apple Battle?”
She had heard from Yumi that three Greek goddesses were fighting for the golden apple, but she did not know the details.
[Ah! As I said earlier, Hera knows that Shiara is now in a human body, right?]
Woojin nodded at Eris’ words.
[And Aphrodite was attached to a child named Eunjin, but her husband and her husband couldn’t stand Aphrodite’s affair and imprisoned her. And the one who is protected by Athens next door is Jin Seo-yeon.]
Why are the names of the two here?
[I’ll explain about that…]
Athena started explaining things to Woojin.
Stories she didn’t know.
The story of what Eunjin did while Woojin was in the army and how Seoyeon secretly helped her.
And the person who leaked information about Yu-hee to Yu-mi was Seo-yeon…
Woo-jin heard Athena’s explanation and came to know.
“I can’t…”
Woojin put on a blank expression.
Before he knew it, Woojin had returned to his normal appearance, not Jinwoo.
[Anyway, if you eat this golden apple, you can regain your lost memories. But it’s Athena, not me, who decides to hand this apple over. Because he’s the only survivor of this skirmish. What will Athena do?]
[…
Athena seems to be thinking about something…
[Yes. I will give up the golden apple.]
“Then…”
Woojin reached for the golden apple in Eris’ hand.
But…
Whiik-
Eris retrieved his hand.
Woojin tilted her head and looked at Eris.
[Athena is Athena, and I have conditions too.]
“Condition?…”
[Please don’t hate Eunjin too much…]
“Yes?”
[Did we explain it earlier? Eunjin corrupted Sia to make you and Sia break up.]
Certainly it was.
The reason Sia went to Valhalla was Eun-jin’s invitation.
[But… It was all for you. That’s how much Eunjin liked you…]
Eris said that she had seduced Satan to happen.
She said she was feeling remorse because of it.
[Currently, Eunjin is in a broken state…]
After that, Eris became a manager and said that she couldn’t be with Eunjin, but Aphrodite’s strange troll behavior seemed to break Eunjin’s heart again.
Because of this, Eris told her not to hate Eunjin too much.
“…”
[There…]
As I pondered Eris’s words, Athena spoke to Woojin.
[Then I have a condition…]
Athena told her to take good care of Seo-yeon, whom she was protecting.
[The child. She likes Woo-jin, but doesn’t show it in the future. He knows as much about this game as we do, and it’s worth using it to get your liking, but he didn’t.]
That’s why Athena wants her Seoyeon to take care of her, she said.
“I know…”
Woo-jin uses honorific words to Athena.
Athena’s request looked very earnest, and since Woojin continued to speak respectful words even though he was a human being, I naturally came to speak with respect.
[Is that so? Give?]
[Yes.]
After Athena finished speaking, Eris handed over the golden apple.
[Don’t eat here. Eat it when you wake up.]
Even if you eat it now, it will be effective, but if you eat it in real life, your body will have more divine power.
He said that when she wakes up, there will be a golden apple by her bedside.
“Okay, I get it.”
[No, why are you talking to me?! I am also a goddess, a goddess! Use honorific words with respect like Athena!]
Eris talking to Woojin.
However, Woojin had no intention of following Eris’ words.
Should Eris be said to be holy like Athena? It was because she didn’t look like that.
That’s how Woojin shook off Eris’ complaints, and she listened to this and that until she woke up.
[The bastard intervened, making the game complicated…]
Eris says that Poseidon dwells in Joo-Won’s body, and that Joo-Won and Poseidon’s intervention has made the play a lot twisted.
[Is it an intention to relieve the human world of the humiliation it experienced before? If only he wasn’t there…]
According to Athena, it seems Poseidon had suffered a major blow from Zeus in the past.
That’s why it seems that he intervened in Yu-hee to recover his pride this time…
[Even if you have an advantage, be careful though. Because the opponent awakened their power months earlier than you.]
Looking at today’s Woojin, he didn’t say that he was going to lose against Joowon, but he told me to be careful in many ways.
[Even if it’s a little painful, I think it’s best to act according to Yumi’s plan.]
[That’s right, that person named Yumi. Pretty capable I think I can read the flow that normal humans don’t recognize.]
And is it better to follow Yumi’s plan as it is?
After all these advice…
IF to Eris for the rest of the time. I heard the story of a world of possibilities or a parallel world.
It is the assumed future of the family…
IF 1. The future where Sia would have endured without getting caught up in the app.
[I don’t think there was anything like that. Unless you have transcendent mental powers, ordinary humans are destined to be swallowed up by desire. But if I had endured, would I have had a good future?]
IF 2. The future when Sia deleted the app.
IF 3. The future that Sia would have confessed about the app.
IF 4. The future when Shia drank Artemis’ spring water and she remained calm until now.
Eris told me various futures, but I didn’t see a very positive picture.
As Eris said, Shia was created for entertainment, except for [IF 1], The future unfolds with a milder taste than now.
[Well, it’s already time…]
As if it was time to wake up from a dream, the shapes of the two goddesses became blurry.
[There will be nothing we will see after today. Maybe?]
[It’s not like manifesting in reality, but intervening in dreams like this eats up a lot of divine power.]
The two goddesses bid farewell to Woo-jin…
At the end, the two goddesses gave advice to Woo-jin.
[Don’t be consumed by anger too much.]
[That’s right, we’re here to stop you from running out of control.]
“A runaway?”
[Perhaps if we hadn’t come to you now, you would have gone out of control. The intensity of the runaway is the one you poured out the lightning earlier, right? More than that.]
That kind of thing happens in real life…
In that case, it was said that the ground would become a mess.
[So, Woojin-nim, keep that in mind. Don’t give in to anger.]
Woojin nodded his head at Athena’s words.
How much time has passed…
The figures of the two goddesses gradually faded and disappeared.
“…”
…
…
“Oooooh…”
Yumi slowly raises her body.
“Mr. Woojin?”
There was definitely Woojin next to him, but he couldn’t see it.
Yumi got herself up and went out into the living room.
Square- Square-
Then, I saw Woojin eating something by the window.
“Yes? Oh, are you awake?”
“Ah yes.”
Unlike last night, Woojin looked very bright.
As if I became a different person…
In Woojin’s hand, he was holding the wick of an apple he had eaten.
