Chapter 1997 – 1997. God’S Atlantis
Zeus’s pupils trembled violently.
The key to all doors.
A being whose very existence could break the game.
Also, a being who had absolutely no interest in Atlantis. A being that even Zeus and all other divine beings could not understand.
“What is his purpose?”
-I don’t know that either.
“Irresponsible. Doesn’t he know everything?”
He doesn’t move because he knows everything. From the past until now, he has merely existed.
-Looks like you’ve found something interesting. The good news is that all the gods will be watching and wary the moment he moves. Even for him, turning all the gods into enemies would be a burden.
“So, you joined hands with a traitor.”
-Hehehe. Just like you joined hands with me.
“Who is the traitor? Is it definitely Hades?”
-Well, does it matter?
Zeus realized. The creeping chaos didn’t care who the traitor was. Mentioning the traitor was just to shake him. He knew this kind of guy, but it was annoying every time he experienced it.
“Is Hades the traitor? Or not? Can’t you even tell me that much?”
-How can I answer what I don’t know? You have a wise daughter. Ask that woman.
“…….”
Athena might have figured out who the traitor was. Maybe even that he was the traitor.
Athena was too wise, which made him uncomfortable.
“Is there nothing to do but watch?”
-That’s right. Let’s watch and enjoy. Hehehe.

“Waaaaaaaah!”
The barbarians charged towards the Greeks, shouting. Their eyes, holding shields and swords, were writhing with hatred and anger. It wasn’t normal. Something was pushing them from behind.
The Greeks facing the barbarians were calm. There was no sense of crisis. There was even annoyance in their eyes.
“Damn barbarians… My vacation was rejected because of these bastards.”
“I heard it’s pork for dinner tonight. I want to go eat quickly.”
“This damn army never serves beef.”
“I heard the officers eat beef.”
“Damn it. The officers are more annoying than those barbarians.”
The Greeks fired bullets.
Despite the advancement of civilization, the level of Greek citizens was not very developed. This was because the advancement of civilization was done by the gods. The Greeks called them barbarians, but they were not much different from barbarians in terms of mentality. Thanks to that, they committed the slaughter of barbarians without any qualms.
“Kill them! Kill them and offer them to the great Zeus!”
The officers yelled.
Rumble rumble rumble.
The tanks moved. They fired shells at the barbarians and charged forward. The barbarians rushed at the tanks, but were shot down by machine guns or trampled to death by the tracks.
Overwhelming power difference!
Just as the barbarians were thinking of fleeing in fear, an anomaly occurred. An unknown power settled in the bodies of the barbarians. Their bodies became stronger, and bloodlust emanated from their eyes. Their muscles deflected bullets, and their hands tore through iron plates.
“They weren’t barbarians, they were monsters!”
“Change to monster-killing formation!”
“Request bombing support from the Icarus unit! Now!”
The balance of the battlefield, which had been leaning to one side, began to be adjusted in a forced way.
I looked down at the battlefield from the sky.
‘Ares. That guy gave power to the humans.’
The barbarians would die in this war, whether they won or lost. They were too weak to handle the power of a god. Even if it was an unwanted power, they had to pay the price for using the power of a god.
‘Is the reason for forcing a war to gain power?’
Ares, the god of war. He gains power through war.
‘Where is that Ares guy? I’m wearing an invisibility helmet right now, so he shouldn’t have noticed that I’ve come.’
I’ll find him first, surprise him, subdue him, and then throw him into Tartarus. I had no intention of bickering with that Ares guy.
The scales of victory began to tilt towards the barbarians. Even with superior civilization, there was no answer when the opponent used the power of a god.
“That’s right! This is war! Just flicking your fingers isn’t war! Hit! Strike down! Tear them apart! Soak the ground with your blood! Get excited! Hate! Go crazy!! This is war!! Hahahaha!”
Ares appeared. He was laughing madly in the rear of the barbarians, in the northern region.
I quietly frowned.
A different area from Greece. If I, a god of Olympus, entered the northern region without permission, I didn’t know how things would go wrong. In short, a diplomatic problem would erupt. And not just any problem, but a huge one.
‘If I’m not caught, it’s fine. I just need to knock that bastard out and get out.’
I trusted the invisibility helmet, which had never disappointed me before.
I approached Ares stealthily and quickly. Ares didn’t notice. Even if there was an invisibility helmet, gods would feel something strange if they were on high alert, but the excited Ares didn’t care about that.
‘What a moron.’
I clenched my fist and approached him from behind.
Kwarurururung!
Thunder rumbled in the sky. The moment I felt a sense of incongruity, lightning fell from the sky. Lightning that I couldn’t control, lightning made of different divine power.
‘How dare you.’
I reached out and grabbed the falling lightning. The captured lightning did not yield to me and tried to escape or attack me.
‘Lightning.’
Pajijijik!
I created lightning and subdued the lightning. Because it was imbued with a different divine power, I couldn’t absorb it.
“Hiiiiiiiik!?”
Ares saw me behind him and screamed disgracefully, stepping back and falling to the ground. It seemed like this bastard was bringing shame to Olympus.
Ares drew his sword from his fallen position. No matter what, Ares’s sword could not be ignored.
[Using Acceleration. Lasts for 10 minutes. Remaining stacks: 11]
[Using Instant(刹那). Remaining stacks: 10]
I used acceleration and instant simultaneously. Due to Zeus’s specs, the effect was even stronger. I approached Ares and kicked him in the head. Ares’s eyes followed my movements, but his body didn’t react in time.
“Cough!”
The unconscious Ares slumped to the ground. It was the moment I was about to grab Ares’s arm and drag him away. Something with lightning flew from behind.
‘Astrape.’
I threw lightning. Lightning collided with lightning, canceling each other out, and then bounced off.
‘Bounced off?’
That in itself was unpleasant. Astrape, which was lightning itself, disappeared into the air, but the enemy’s lightning bounced into the air.
Looking closely, it was a silver shining hammer. A hammer imbued with the power of lightning. The hammer flew and was caught by someone’s hand.
It was a middle-aged man with a beard. He had a beard and wore a helmet. Wearing armor, he was a warrior himself.
“As expected of the supreme god of Olympus, to block my Mjolnir so easily. Your reputation is not in vain.”
“Thor, is it?”
“Do you know me?”
“You’re the famous thunder god of the north. Some foolish humans equate you and me. It’s truly unpleasant. To think that I’m the same as someone like you.”
“As I’ve heard, you’re incredibly rude. I pity the gods under you.”
“Stop worrying about this side and manage your side well. I heard your clown is causing trouble?”
“…It seems you know more about this side than I thought. Didn’t your children and brothers betray you? Is it okay for you to be here right now?”
The moment I heard those words, a flash of realization came.
“Ares was bait!”
“I heard the lightning of Olympus is as stupid as a cow, but the rumors seem to be a bit exaggerated.”
“This bastard. Are you criticizing my brilliant intellect with that calm voice? My IQ is 120. I’m much smarter than you.”
“That’s a very smart way of speaking. I’m impressed.”
“Hah. I’m the stupid one for talking to a stupid musclehead. Let me get to the point. Hand me that hammer and get lost. Then I’ll forgive you for being rude so far.”
“Mjolnir is mine. It will never fall into anyone else’s hands.”
“I’ll kill you and take it.”
“Try it if you can.”
“Aren’t your gods not immortal? Aren’t you afraid of death?”
“Hehe. Nothing is eternal. Immortality is the same. Doesn’t the master of myths know that?”
“Every word, every word is getting on my nerves. I’ll kill you.”
I kicked off the ground and ran towards Thor.
‘…What is it?’
The output of power was weaker than usual. It felt like my body had become heavier. Did he know that my face had hardened? Thor smirked and took a stance.
“This is not your territory. I will show you how meaningless your immortality is.”
Thor, holding Mjolnir, ran towards me. I grabbed Astrape in one hand. I made Astrape similar to Mjolnir.
I didn’t need any technique. I was going to overwhelm him with the superiority of power and show that arrogant guy the difference in class.
Kwaaaaaaang!
Mjolnir and Astrape collided, creating a shockwave. The shockwave swept around, and the aftermath became an earthquake that shook the ground.
Pajijijik!
Astrape pushed Mjolnir away.
“Kueeeung!”
Thor groaned, frowning. His face was red as if it would burst from how much force he was using.
Thor raised his left fist. Before that, my left hand cut off his forearm.
“Even so, there’s no way there would be this much of a difference…!”
“Can’t you admit it? I’m stronger than you.”
Thor gritted his teeth and tilted his head back slightly.
Headbutt.
Likewise, I also tilted my head back.
Kwaaaaaaang!
It was Thor whose forehead was shattered. His body lost strength and he slumped to the ground. I grabbed the handle of Mjolnir that he had dropped.
Pajijijik!
Mjolnir fiercely rejected me. The weight was also terribly heavy. I neutralized the lightning with lightning and overcame the weight with strength.
“Ha… To think there would be a god who could overwhelm me with strength… You are already trying to break free from even being a god. Odin. You were right.”
“Odin? What did that one-eyed guy say?”
“He said destruction begins with you.”
“A prophecy? How annoying. Just die.”
I slammed Mjolnir hard into Thor’s head. Thor’s body shattered and the ground split in two.
Mjolnir fell into the cracked ground. I didn’t grab it. Mjolnir itself was just a slightly strong hammer. The reason why Mjolnir was great was because its owner was Thor.
「Diligent rest silences.」
「The 70% owner is shocked!」
「The owner of the sky trembles!」
「The creeping chaos laughs softly.」
