Chapter 550 – 549. Judgment (9)
The gods are dying. Dying like flies. And, the person causing that death is the golden sun right in front of us. And, in a situation where the gods were dying and there was no choice but to kill the god, the Golden Sun defeated Thor.
Although he barely managed to kill him, Thor was concerned that his power would be taken away by Nodence who appeared soon after, so he sleeved his power into Haemin. And-
The same goes for Frey. He was exhausted and knocked down, and Surtur prevented him from exploding himself. He saved himself and handed over his beloved sword.
Survive. Survive and do what you want.
Haemin was confused in many ways by the appearance and attitude that was completely contradictory to the attitude of the self-proclaimed gods that he had seen so far. And, because the encounter with them was short, and because it ended in tragedy, and because we witnessed their deaths, it would be correct to say that we were in a difficult state in many ways.
To him, Loki: Rodur approaches.
Freya was also greatly saddened by Frey’s death, and the same was true for Haemin.
For him willingly accepting help for himself and his subordinates, and for having a special relationship with Freya in many ways, and for relying on each other in many ways.
After finding out all that, Frey must have seen the future of those two.
And-
He burned his life without hesitation for that.
“Kid, can I talk for a moment?”
“… What kind of kid-“
“Ahaha, I can see from your behavior that you are older than you look, but at least right now, I understand that your physical age is not yet 20 years old. That’s right, you are a kid. Besides, you are being called a grandmother by Geum Taeyang over there. I came here to be a little crazy~”
“They say they came to brag about this proudly.”
“Well, because it’s crazy. You can’t say it’s crazy. It’s our job to help mortals who are lost and wandering.”
“… Where I was,
He looked at me and told me to die for him.
“
So I broke the earthen pot for everything. They say God is a weakling. Naturally, this was no exception, and even Anu, the chief god of Uruk, was shown the spicy taste of lightning, and of course, it was extremely painful. I was planning on having a fight there, and of course I very proudly ordered crazy things like summoning heroes and all, and fighting against the golden sun of the past.
He knew the strength of the Golden Sun, or rather Yog-Sothoth, more than anyone else, and in fact, the [Incarnation] That came to his place from outer space was a monster that most gods could not come across.
And, dealing with the main body of the golden sun, its past form.
I had already fought against it in an unawakened state, but it was so strong that I could never defeat it, and even though it was impossible to fight against it now that I was awakened, I was imitated by the sight of it blatantly telling me that I was not one of them and ordering them to go to their deaths, so I attacked them.
At least she said that she was Eresh Kikkal. The goddess of the Underworld treated her as a strong person in her own way, and in fact, she openly looked down on her and told her to die for me! Those guys who talk like this have never left a single Haemin alive, and of course, one of the nicknames he was given when he was on Earth was [Destroyer of Destiny].
[God’s Vein].
He was named as a god-slayer.
Unfortunately, I didn’t know how to completely kill them, so one day they would resurrect and come back, and I was very annoyed.
Meanwhile, he was in a state of confusion due to the actions of the two gods who chose death for him.
“Don’t worry too much about it.”
“What are you talking about?”
“They were all looking for a place to die, so that’s why they entered that place. They were looking for a coffin, and the coffin was right in front of your eyes, and they went into it saying, “It’s mine!”, So don’t worry too much about it.”
“… I never paid attention to this-“
“Okay, okay, nothing. It’s just that they died arbitrarily right before our eyes. I think so. It’s good for you, and it’s good for them both.”
“…”
Is it easy to say this?
“Wasn’t he the one working with you?”
“… Fuha, that’s right. But in the end, for those of us who lived enough to live and reached the end, oh my, that body of a fool – even when he goes, he goes to art! Because we can get by like this. Anyway, there is no place in this world that needs God. Because there are no people who are truly looking for God, there are only people who are looking for God and asking us to do the difficult and bothersome work for them.”
Loki spoke while stroking Haemin’s head.
“That’s what I’m saying, there’s no need to be so sad. We are no different from the living ‘corpses’ who missed the right time to die and are wandering around without being able to die, with only the name of God. During Ragnarok, the head that was born a long time ago was broken. He should have died, and Thor should have died by being poisoned. As it was, Frey should have died without being able to fight on equal footing with Surtur.”
This is a story that there is no need to be sad about. Death is predestined for us, so don’t cry.
“It was just that you caught our eye. If you are going to die anyway, you can think of it as an achievement of showing favor to an expectant mortal, and seeing the mortal go to a higher place, or putting that button on. Just take it for granted, as much as you hoped and wanted help, we just heard your voice and helped you.”
“I didn’t want to leave so quickly.”
I guess so.
Perhaps this is this guy’s original personality. He was affectionate and warm, and I felt like I could finally rely on him, but then he left, and Thor and Frey each left, entrusting their powers and belongings to them. And now it’s your turn.
“Now that I think about it, kid, you can understand everything an intelligent being says, right?”
“… How-“
“That’s right, I’m the God of All Languages. A God who knows all languages! And, as such, I immediately recognize people with language-related abilities! Come on, it’s no big deal, I’ve already said goodbye to my family. Is it there?”
“… Wait a minute, don’t-“
“It’s okay, it’s okay. A worthy person will take it.”
“Don’t do it because it’s not necessary!!!”
Haemin could tell what Rodur was trying to do to him. And, Loki: Rodur, I could see parts of her body falling apart.
The wound was inflicted by Odin when Fenrir overpowered Odin and when Loki struck him with a blow. Naturally, it was a mortal curse, a curse with a death rune engraved on it, and since it was a curse rune obtained from the highest god, her life was virtually limited.
“… Look, I am now terminally ill. And the time has come for me to die. Fenrir and Clark, who are fighting over there, know that.”
The hammer in Clark’s hand flew, crushing her Baal as Fenrir tore it to shreds with her sharp teeth and claws.
The plainclothes sword of Ellis, who has become a new demon, is swung.
Withi’s cold ice spear struck down, and the powerful blows of the Four Heavenly Kings under his command were tearing apart the demon god who had now become a beast.
And, Loki smiled while pointing at it.
“… And if I die like this, I will end up like that too. I will hand over my power and now face death as a god, not like that.”
“… I-“
“Don’t hesitate. You really are a kind-hearted person. If a guy like you became a God Slayer, the world would definitely go crazy. I don’t know what kind of idiot ruined the world like that, but it was definitely a normal world. If you had been born, you would have become a saint like no other in the world, but even a saint like that would have to survive, even if it meant killing God, to live hard and fiercely. It is God’s duty to bless mortals and heroes.”
Rodur took away his powers. Naturally, he takes that power away and gives it to Haemin. Power, that’s just what it says. It was a blessing that she, her lord, could bestow upon these mortals.
And now.
“… Now, go on. You are a child of mixed human and dragon blood. God of All Words’ blessings on your path.”
Her body is falling apart.
-Kru, Kr-Kru-
The form of the monster that was Baal, the demon God, was torn to pieces, and with the last core, that core, in front of him, Withi’s ice spear exposes its weakness. And – finally, he plunges his fist into the core.
Crispy!!!
“Personally, I like this ending. Killing people without saying anything. Baal, I hate it the most when people say this and that. I have only one thing to say. Get rid of it.”
Passasasak-!!!
The eyes curse everything in the world with resentful eyes, but the curse of a monster that is dying and has lost its divinity is not that scary or scary. And I saw what was once a demon gradually turning into dust and facing true extinction.
And, Weedy’s Ice Spear, which contained the remains of the Demon God and became an even more vicious spear. I picked it up and gave it back to Withi.
“It’s over, Widi. This is the end of Baal.”
“… Isn’t it something that ended so vainly?”
“So, are you hoping for a grand battle or something? Just pretending like nothing happened, destroying it and ending it all is good. Well, even if it’s like this, one day, as the [Concept] Of malice accumulates, it will reveal itself again one day.”
Of course, the heroes of that time will take care of it. For your information, I really hate that kind of thing. I thought he had been defeated at first, but in fact he was alive or something. And, of course, the representative among them was Christine.
Here and now, the former Demon King, that is, Christine, has appeared leading her former vassals.
And the demons of the Nine Demon King faction behind Christine immediately saw Ellis and Withy and became wary, but-
“Oppa! I’m here!”
Immediately, the demons of the Nine Demon King faction behind me are surprised to see Chris approaching me with a bright smile.
“Golden sun…!!! You guy, why!!”
“… Well, after finding out, would you believe me if I told you that she was my sister? But, I remember you all getting beaten up by me once in a while, so don’t you look kind-hearted? Just do it.”
Grumbling-!!
The monsters tremble at the powerful magic power exploding from my hand. Of course, it was Chris who stopped it.
“I brought them all alive, just like you said. And, if you followed me… I agreed to let you live, right?”
“… Well, that’s right.”
And after hearing that, I decided to refrain from taking care of them right away. No, before that-
Chris moves first and kicks mercilessly towards the monsters that had just growled at me.
Kwaaang!!
The fact that the sight of monsters literally falling and tearing across the floor looks familiar could mean that Chris usually controlled them in this way.
“…”
Ellis, things she would never do if it were her.
Of course-
It was just something he could do because he was Chris.
It’s an uneventful story.
“I told her, don’t show your teeth carelessly. If what I say doesn’t make sense, should I rip off all of her ears and pull out all of her teeth before she comes to her senses?”
“S-sorry heh… Keuhak!!!”
“No, no, there’s no need to say that. I guess I’ll just rip your head out right here.”
Oh wow, ripping out your neck. Awesome.
It’s all good.
“Okay, take them back to the labyrinth, Chris.”
“Uh… I haven’t finished training yet, can I take you with me?”
“If you knew who was there, you wouldn’t say that.”
“Ah.”
There is Shubniguras, my wife, and there is Liz. And there is Gawain, Hector, and countless other heroes. Even if scummed, who are already just a remnant of the force, appear there, they will only be cut off by the Ihot line that actually manages the labyrinth.
Ihot can exercise powerful power within the labyrinth, and it will be enough to educate these defeated soldiers.
Anyway, Chris decided to take them with him, and now all that’s left is…
It’s time to take the broken remains of Loki to the depressed little guy over there.
And-
At some point, a bright light pours down next to me, and it is the image of the Goddess of Creation coming down to the demon world with light in it. And Ilias, the goddess of creation, takes one look at Ellis, who has become a demon goddess, and then quickly turns her head and expresses her disapproval.
Well, this can’t be helped.
Because she doesn’t like monsters very much.
And now-
“Ilias, thank you for your hard work.”
“Thank you for your hard work too, Clark.”
“… You did a better job than me, because you saw something worse than me.”
“This one wasn’t easy either.”
“I was planning on being rude to you, but you were very disappointed to see me ruined more than I expected, right?”
It’s just as they say.
She must have faced the true face of the people Nodence and Lilith destroyed and defiled. Matilda and the demons under her command must have been feasting inside there by now without even realizing they were caught in a trap. Well, I’m quite curious what those demons will look like later.
And not long after, Matilda also returned-
Ilias leaves everything to herself and approaches Haemin, who is crying over the remains of Loki, who was violently oxidized.
And-
“… You can save them, right? You can save these three, right? With your power, you can save them. That’s right.”
“… Please pray for their souls to rest in peace. That is the last courtesy that you, who inherited that power, can show them.”
“… No, God, God shouldn’t be this weak!! Come back to life again, I am God!!! Mortals, kneel!! Talking like this… You have to survive proudly. That’s right!!!”
And the current case is one of the few cases where Ilias cannot be revived. After they completed all their duties as gods and died. If you meet a predestined death, you cannot be revived. The gods related to [Ragnarok], Which is completed through their deaths, end when they die.
I tried to see if I could revive the Aegir I had destroyed, but the divine core remained empty and unresponsive, and there was nothing I could do other than turn it into a vending machine for the faith of future mortals.
It goes without saying, but Haemin doesn’t seem to be able to accept this death.
I told you so. This guy can’t be evil even if he tries.
It would have been easier to live if I had been a villain who knew neither the bottom nor the bottom.
That is, if you feel comfortable living at the expense of others, you will live happily no matter what you do. From my point of view, where humanity has almost disappeared, this guy is truly a pitiful person. And that’s why Ilias spoke strongly to Haemin.
“It is their choice. They have entrusted their power to you. And may you carry out the duties of those who possess the power of God. Are you going to spare your life and make their choice that chose you go in vain?”
“… I-“
“Whether you like it or not, you took on their lives, their karma. They chose you, not as a god, but as your saver, their choice to do it when they could have survived without saving you, and – make them your friends. If you want to be remembered, all you have to do is accept the power they have given you, and are you willing to betray their trust in you?”
“…”
As you said.
That little boy was born with a rough fate. And Loki, Thor, and Frey too. These three must have seen a very rough fate for that little boy. And for the first time in a long time, it was obvious to me what these people, who I recognized as useful mortals, warriors, and heroes, would do, and what these guys looking for a place to die would do.
Likewise, it is to give chimbaladoo to the hero.
He risked his life.
Anyway, why do these Northern bastards love an honorable death so much?
…
It was fun.
How nice it would be if you died saying those things with your own mouth, you pig Thor.
Well, it’s fine.
I just take out the incense and shout R.I.P. to the gods who died here.
“Rest in peace.”
After all the organizing, all that’s left is…
All we have to do is head to Britannia Island, where Nyarlathotep is waiting.
