Chapter 490 – 489. Eunwon (1)
Urs.
Well, to be honest, this is my first time coming here.
Even though I knew where Surtur was sealed, I thought about using the heat there, but knowing about the seal, just reaching there was difficult, so I used the flames of the area where Surtur was sealed.
So, just opening the door there causes a huge explosion of flames, which becomes a means of attack.
…
Well, there are some things that are so hot that I don’t use them often, and above all, I just use the [Radiant heat]. Of course, it’s out of control.
My father taught me not to use magic that I cannot control.
If you can’t properly control the [Weapon], It’s just a failure.
Anyway, it’s a very funny story that the sword’s radiant heat and sparks are so hot that it can be used as a means of attack.
I could probably endure it with my bare body now, but I also know that dealing with something like that and hoping that nothing happens in this world is a luxury.
I was afraid that Tiamat’s rampage would be destroyed, so I appointed an agent to assist her and fight her, but are you telling me to fight her? If Lucy were there, he would be able to devour the flame, but she is pregnant now.
Above all, here and now, in front of me, is a one-eyed old man.
Odin.
And Rocky and me, Liz.
We were facing each other like this, and Phyllis was quietly pouring tea next to us.
What is Mortus doing?
Is it really possible for her to get involved in these kids’ pranks?
She’s just far away.
However, I am her representative.
“Where am I-“
“Where is Ursji? Can’t a footed animal go anywhere? Trading souls, and among those souls, treating the soul of my comrade like that. Do you want me to hold you accountable for that, or do you want to listen quietly?”
“… You don’t have the authority to do that.”
“I see it now.”
I lift the seal of Mortus.
The emblem of a skull holding a scale.
I show the back of my hand where it is engraved.
The sentence she gave me means that I am her agent. She actually says she wanted to give me the place of death…
Well, I said I had a lot of work to do, so I’ll pass.
And when she showed him this, a blazing emblem that she had carved with her own hands, a pitch-black color so dark that no light could enter, Odin opened his one remaining eye wide. Is it hard to believe that it is engraved with a proof that one is receiving the grace and trust of Mortus, the greatest of all ministers?
Well, what if I don’t believe it?
… A small encounter.
And from being interested in me who escaped death for the fourth time to being interested in me becoming more and more powerful after overcoming death, until now.
In many ways, the nobleman was also annoyed by the troubles that the lesser gods were engaging in, and in some ways, I was the one dealing with it, and in many ways, this was the result that I liked.
“… Why, to you – to you, the star monster!!!”
“I don’t want to listen to your whining, so I’ll bite you. Since you’re acting like shit, he thinks you’re shit, so he’s trying to keep handing things over to me. Does anyone know that he’s just playing around with you because he has free time? He keeps making shitty prophecies. I’m getting angry because I trust him and attack him.”
Did you have any intention of fighting with them just because it was me?
They were the bastards who had been digging a trap to trap me from the beginning, so I will now get rid of the Solias Church bastards who messed with Lorraine.
From the beginning, everything was designed to drown me out, so it all happened as a result of a crazy attempt to kill me, and I just kept getting beat up by it, destroying the Uruk God Realm, destroying the Phrygian God Realm, and now heading to Urs.
“Well, looking at what’s shown here, it seems like Baldur’s life is precious. Right?”
“… Because of that power, Baldur is dying.”
“Yes, because it was made that way on purpose. It is a way for the target to die, and if hit, it will cause death with a certain cause of death.”
Of course it was intentional.
Attack on Baldur,
From what I heard from Liz before coming here, it was my sword, so it was correct. If it had been any other sword, it would have missed Baldur’s body. It is said that all creatures in the world were given an oath not to harm Baldur, so iron must be among them.
There is a famous story that Mistletoe, the only and weakest one, did not receive it from Mystiltein, so it was thrown at Baldur, who hit it and fell.
In other words, in the case of a being whose cause of death is determined to be that, he can be made to die as if he had been hit by it.
“I can free this. Some old woman won’t die because she doesn’t cry.”
As a side note, when Baldur died, Hel, the owner of Nibelheim, said he would revive Baldur if all living things shed tears, but Loki turned into a hag, so he didn’t cry or something?
Well, he did it by telling the Horde to throw Mystiltein, and in the meantime, he jumped at the fish to avoid being caught, but got caught in the net…
Well, it’s not a story right now, but at least you don’t have to watch ridiculous skits like that.
“… What are the conditions?”
“I have business with Surtur, and I have business with Surtur… And, I have business with Nidavellir… Don’t interfere with me in all of this.”
“What business do you have with Surtur?”
“If I take you with me, Ragnarok will not happen.”
“… What guarantees that they won’t attack us with that?”
Tsk.
Anyway, it feels like I’m asking 20 questions that never ends.
It’s natural for me to feel very offended by such a stupid question, so I didn’t bother to talk about it.
“Did you really think you had the strength to negotiate? Really?”
Are you going to let Baldur die?
Or do you hand Surtur over to me and eliminate the monster that will cause Ragnarok?
He seemed to be doubting what I was going to do in Nidavellir, but he shook his head as he looked at Odin, who was consumed by his own dark demon of doubt.
Just because you know a lot and see a lot doesn’t mean you’re all wise.
So it’s really ironic.
That also applies to me.
What is certain, however, is that he is obsessed and extremely paranoid. I’m not in a position to say anything, but at least their fate is at stake, so shouldn’t they be a little more cautious and calm about it?
Well, it’s good.
Just-!
And, I calm the curse on Baldur.
“It’s okay. Baldur’s curse has been lifted. From now on, don’t argue with my actions.”
Get up from your seat. Not only do I not want to see you anymore anyway, I just stand up. The look in his eyes makes me want to tell the other Æsir behind him that he should be killed right away.
Swoosh-
When we make eye contact, he becomes silent and closes his mouth, as if it has never happened.
He just smiles once and leaves.
And-
Loki, sitting next to me, shook his head.
“… Are you confident that you’re making a move without even getting a confirmation?”
“No, no,
The final boss of one force knocked on the front door and came in, I gave them what they wanted… But you said you would take what I wanted, but you are going to stop me?”
“… I made a mistake. You were more of a fool than I imagined.”
It’s been a long time since I realized that now, tsk.
I definitely kept my promise.
But, you didn’t keep your promise and are attacking here?
Well, I may claim that I am acting for practical purposes, but I have already defeated Phrygia and Uruk, and my strength has grown to its level. I wouldn’t want someone like that to just walk around on his own.
But if you touch me, Urs will be destroyed.
And in fact, the other Æsir tried to attack him, but when I revived the curse I placed on Baldur, they looked upset.
Well, I know how to use force, and it’s good to just push and pull with this and then fall out.
No, actually, I just haven’t [Activated] It, but the curse is still in my body.
In other words, I die whenever I want.
“Let’s not bleed at each other for no reason. We can get along well, right?”
So, I hope you do it in moderation.
At least until the moment I finish my business.
It’s not a peace that will last forever anyway, and it’s already a foregone conclusion that everyone will come at me with their own reasons one way or another.
Well, anyway.
So, that’s where we head first.
Kogan’s hometown.
Nidavellir.
Deberg.
I headed there-
Based on the location of the house Kogan told me, I am Kogan’s one remaining family.
And to her [Her daughter]…
Kogan took out the ax he had been using.
And- she…
Um.
Seriously, it was also very big.
“… He was a giant.”
“What, this is your first time seeing a giant?”
The woman right before my eyes, a blue-skinned female giant, Jotun.
Kang!! Kang-!!! Kang-!!!
He is making a small sword on an anvil while striking a hammer.
In fact, that sword is a speck of dust by her standards, but by her human standards it is 2 meters long.
Every time I picked it up and checked it, I could see its size.
Anyway.
It’s very big.
Um.
“No, I heard she was a foster daughter, but I thought she was a human or a harp – I never thought she was a giant.”
It was truly bizarre to see a giant about 10 meters tall making weapons for humans.
He uses that huge body to hammer, but not with a bang, but with a bang! There is a sound.
How good are you at controlling your strength?
Anyway, Kogan’s adopted daughter.
She was… A Jotun.
In other words, frost giant.
Nidavellir, Kogan’s adopted daughter who lives in Dverg.
Wēland.
I heard that she learned blacksmithing from Kogan, who was also a blacksmith. Is that true?
What is this?
The sight of a human-like weapon being made with that gigantic body.
…
Kang-! Kang-! Kang-!!!
…
Is that possible?
I wanted to, but I stopped thinking about it.
After all, I also exist,
What does it mean that a giant can’t make that?
And other dwarves also come to Welland and chatter and ask questions.
“Welland! Are you a guest?”
“Uh, I’m a guest. I’ll end my work here today. I have to greet some guests.”
“Are you a friend?”
“Rather than a friend, I should say I’m a colleague of that damn pudgy father.”
He looked at the ax I brought with him in one hand and nodded with sad eyes.
Terrible longing.
I feel sadness.
It was family, really.
I remained silent for a moment.
Until she brings it up again.
“… That damn old man, I guess he got the glorious death he wanted. Considering you brought this.”
With that, she turns off the fire in the brazier and stands up.
“… First of all, will you climb on my shoulder? I’ll take you to my house. There’s a lot I want to hear about that old man.”
“I heard Kogan had a daughter, but I had no idea she was such a big and beautiful woman.”
“Well, I’m big and beautiful. Haha! Even more than that, the people next to me… One of them is Rodur, and the other seems to be a god…”
“She is my wife. And Phyllis is my servant.”
“Ah! I see! Is this the famous process of starting as a colleague and becoming a girlfriend?”
“It is also a process that starts with you and becomes baby.”
“And, starting from ya, it is also the moment when it becomes oppa-ya, right?”
Liz is right next to me and joins my jokes. Welland, who was carrying us on his shoulders, laughed heartily at the joke, which was naturally accepted.
As a bonus… Loki admires Welland in wonder.
In fact, she is also a giant.
Even though she is a giant, she is not all that big.
It’s just another god named Jotun.
“… Jinja, I heard there was a giant blacksmith in Nidavellir, and that was you. It happened to be the adopted daughter of Golden Sun’s colleague.”
“Geumtaeyang? Ah! You blond-tanned bastard! That old man said so. In the last letter you received, you said you were going to catch the devil with Geumtaeyang. Did you catch the devil?”
“I caught him. Even though I couldn’t save his life.”
“Okay, that’s enough, that old man,
He said he was bored and wanted to die, but Valhalla was waiting for him!
He is a young man who made an ax and ran away from home. He went in search of a place where he would die. He’s a person who went looking for a place to die, so let’s not be so serious.
Of course, it seemed like it was overlooked, but I told this woman the truth about Kogan’s death, the process of being exploited by Libertas, and how he caused her to die twice. The story about it rose to my throat, but I shook my head and decided to keep quiet about it.
…
There are truths in the world that do not need to be known.
She lives in her own world.
There is no need to drag you into my world.
Just as I was about to move on to another story.
“… What do you think if Odin sold that soul to the enemy of the Golden Sun?”
“…?”
No, this old lady is real.
Loki began to expose it mercilessly.
“At least, the family deserves to know the truth. You seem to think otherwise.”
“… Tell me honestly, you’re Odin, huh?”
“Why are you hitting the pad lip, you Geumtaeyang?”
Is that a pad lip?
Of course, while I narrowed my eyebrows-
“… I guess that was it. Well, I was expecting it.”
Welland accepted that fact with detachment, as if he had expected it.
…
I didn’t want to tell you like this.
