Chapter 737 – The Moon Rises (3)
【You don’t move. Why?】
At first, Istetil, who was overwhelmed during the monster battle, seemed to have managed to open her mouth after seeing Monsieur Hrellittle, who did not move even after the battle was over.
Monsieur Hrellittle, who had completed Evolution, crouched there, showing no stance to move. That doesn’t mean she’s become a sleeping beauty, she’s keeping an eye on Azteca.
I stuck out my tongue.
[Are you waiting? Until night comes?]
【Nope. It won’t be.]
Kiara responds. His complexion was hardened.
【Just as dry firewood is easier to burn than wet firewood, it is easy to call ‘night’ at night. At times when you are at a disadvantage, Tonashilucatle won’t come out either. Even if their own children are massacred.]
【Then why is that bastard doing that?】
People looked at me dumbfounded for calling Monsieur Chrelitl ‘that bastard’ even now, seeing the fight. It is said that he did not know that humans would act like this after seeing the majesty of the gods.
As if only Nefertiti noticed, she was touching her lips.
【I don’t know. I’m sure you can’t afford to be like this though.]
Kiara glared at Azteca in the eastern part of the continent.
【… If now Now, we should still be able to defeat Monsieur Chrelitl. Even if I had the night and the dawn in my hands, I couldn’t control the day.]
【I guess so.】
Of course, even if it’s daytime, he’ll call for dawn or night, but at that level, there’s still a way. Coincidentally, it was a miracle that I had also seen.
【Whether you prepare to return to your home country or stay here, you must get rid of one or the other. So let’s come back I also have to join the advance party.]
Without anyone protesting, we hurried to leave. That is, until the woman who said she was the mayor came running.
【Hey, wait!】
Fuck, I’m busy. What else? It was us who had no choice but to look bad. Come to think of it, he said he had something he wanted to say, but he got caught, right?
She looked at her and said.
【… What are you going to do in the future?]
【What are you going to do?】
【There is a story I also heard from a man whose head was blown off on the altar. We know that a cataclysm unimaginable to us is taking place.]
When she said that, Istetil also looked at her.
【If you are going to ask for help, I will refuse in advance. We’re busy just taking care of ourselves.]
【No. Let us fight together.]
Istetil’s eyes, which had been sharply opened, narrowed.
【I heard there are no warriors? Even if I raised it, it would only be eaten by those guys, so it would have been natural.]
【As a citizen said a moment ago, you can fight even if you are not a warrior. I don’t want to stay here and wait for the day I die.]
【What do you believe in?】
【A long period of time is enough time to make a bad habit into a tradition, and to create people who want to break it. So are we.]
The mayor revealed a pattern sewn with thread on the inside of the clothes.
【There are fools everywhere who disregard death and dream of treason. Earthlan continent is wide. There are many mayors of city-states who want to stand up to that tyranny.]
【… Under. It was the first time I knew that.]
【I’m very sorry, but there were markets that had a hard time trusting you.】
【You really are a damn born. Do you know who wanted to be born as a lizard?]
Istetil, who smiled lamentably, put on a cold expression again.
【But it’s not even worth listening to.】
【… Why?】
【The level of the battle is too different.】
Istetil said solemnly. It’s like you don’t want to argue.
【If you guys had gone up there and watched the clash of the Woo Gods, you wouldn’t have been able to say such complacent words. Even enemy soldiers can’t stand you, you guys are useless.]
【Anyway, if the sun covering the sky calms the continent and the soldiers of Azteca return, it’s dead! People trained to become warriors are hiding in other city-states!]
[That means it’s useless. I’m not going to say anything, but I don’t have time to hang out with suicide. Morale goes down when the ones accepted as colleagues die.]
【That’s… 】
Did you think it was not something to be forced to do? The mayor said indignantly.
【All right. Then I will tell you at least the circumstances of the empire that I have heard. There is also a mistake that our citizens made a little while ago. Please listen.】
【Speak briefly. As you can see, I’m busy.]
【It is said that Azteca is the incarnation of the god, and the shrine maiden is the highest-class existence as a sacrifice. It is said that if the shrine maiden is offered as her sacrifice, her ‘mother’ will surely appear.]
The mayor explained as he was told.
A shaman she treated for a long time, treating her as ‘tona shuylukatl’.
She said that if the priestess was sacrificed to her, their deity, Tona Shuil Lukatl, would be forced to come out even if they did not want to respond.
‘It’s the same as during the time of Prince Chung.’
It is impossible for a god to receive a sacrifice and pretend not to know.
If you pay in advance for the price you have no choice but to answer, saying it’s a sacrifice, you have to come out even if you don’t want to. Like Monsieur Hrellittle, who was brought in as a demigod and then reverse-summoned before being fully summoned.
【I heard bad news.】
Kiara wrote arrogance. It was a very rough reaction for that person.
【In that case, she would have been put on the altar right now. She shows signs of approaching Monsieur Hrellittle, or if the Lord of Azteca makes up his mind, the battle of the gods will begin.]
【Is the flint of the gods’ war held in human hands?】
Istetil clicks his tongue.
It has to be. Even if we look at it, it is helpless, but the Aztecan people would be peeing, saying, ‘Oh fuck, I have to call my mother for this’.
He must be setting the right to compulsory recall of parents on the altar while walking away.
【… Should we rescue the shrine maiden first?]
People opened their mouths at my comments.
【Are you serious? Let’s go round and round and leave the Woo Gods alone and aim for Azteca?]
【It’s a fucking ending when Tonashilukatl is summoned. It doesn’t matter if those snakeheads win or lose. I’m not going to lose both of them to a draw after fighting.]
The winner would consume the experience and authority and become Horakti, a phantom beast.
To do that, it was only right to fuck off Azteca, who would be putting her finger on her mom summon button, lest there be a fight with Tona Shuiluka frame popping out.
“… I don’t have time to argue.”
Nefertiti looked only at me, as if it wasn’t stuffy that she couldn’t communicate.
“Anyway, joining is essential.”
“Yes. I think so too. And Mr. Istetil.”
Called her Istetil was visibly embarrassed as she pumped out her telepathy so that she could speak as quickly as possible without biting her tongue.
【Are you serious?】
【It’s better than nothing. Do you agree?]
【… If what you say is true, then it will be.]
【Believe me. Yang operation and thin rock are my specialties. Hey, mayor?]
When I called her, she was startled as she was biting her nails.
【Yeah! What are you doing?]
【Those who are called resistance, come with us.】
I’ll take care of the bottom line of safety, but would it be fun to push them to death? Hiding my heartache, I told them.
【Leave gods and monsters to experts, let’s stick with humans.】
***
Returning to Skolacco after having the mayor call for the city-state rebels, Shedmenhotep, having been briefed on the situation, crossed his arms.
Asherard, who seemed to be deep in thought, asked in an angry tone.
‘Are you insane, Pharaoh?! No, I knew you were far from sane, but was that enough?!”
〈You can’t fight a losing battle because of the possibility of failure!〉
Shedmenhotep smiled lightly.
The social cost of life must be among the highest among us, but this pharaoh seemed to have no qualms about betting his own life.
If you fight with all your might now and fail, you die.
However, even if you run away and get twisted, it is Horakti advent + death.
The record of the old pharaonic dynasty and trust in us.
For that reason, Pharaoh, who believed in the poop power of Woo Gods, whom he had not seen in reality, looked at me. He wondered if he was thinking about something.
〈… We designed our offensive in 3 stages with a mix of tricks.〉
On the way back, I briefly recited the strategy I was thinking about so as not to waste time. It has already been explained to others. Atlantis has also been contacted.
But when the operation is underway, the people who will play the most important role are here.
So I split up the precious time and explained it diligently, but it was worth the effort. After listening to my explanation, Dana frowned as she tousled her hair.
〈… Yes. But.〉
Asherad, whose blood was so reduced that even his hands were white, gasped as if he had climbed an alpine terrain.
‘But even if you trap Wooshin and bring him down from the throne, there is no window to kill them. The aftermath of that fight was also felt in Scolaco?〉
There is no way to damage the Woo Gods.
It was not enough to remove the invincibility pattern. Is it possible to kill the enemy in that unstable time even if Dilcut is running fast, making a Dil time by taking blood poop?
An obvious question that, as a strategy planner, you have to answer with ‘this is how you do it’!
But I shut my mouth and shook my head from side to side.
〈… Oh My God. You will be thrilled, really.”
I said it quite self-deprecatingly, but other people couldn’t blame me either.
There were small corrections here and there, but no one came up with a better idea than I did. Pointing out that there is no alternative plan is just a pod.
Fortunately, there was no one in the party who was lagging behind in knowledge to the point of not even knowing that much.
Asherard, who brushed his cheek as if he had aged 10 years, let out a deep sigh.
〈… Like. I didn’t expect anything to happen when I came to the land where the gods live. It’s something I never dreamed of, but I’ll try. You just need to be successful, right?”
So, the president of the Archaeological Society and the Pharaoh left one step ahead of Ammuna Lake.
Azteca is too far to walk. She’s quick to take a detour on Atlantis and hit it. Since several days have already been spent, there is no respite.
─Kyung.
When I closed my eyes, Kiara asked me telepathically.
So that only me and her wives could hear it.
─Can you be honest with me? Do you think the operation will work out now?
─No way. It will move to the 100% sub-plan stage.
Dana, who heard me and his telepathy, seemed to have gone mental. Me who pats the back of the silent Nun-na.
– Blocking the summoning… It’s honestly difficult. As soon as we hit the bluff and attack, Tonashilucatl is doomed! I’ll try not to come out.
──If so, there is a high possibility that the “Fight between humans” Mentioned earlier will go to nothing. Are those insurgents meant to stand up to power?
─That’s right. I’m not going to force you into a possible battle.
Be quick to notice. Suddenly, I looked back at this adventurer, Daeppang.
A short, pale half-dwarf with a gloomy appearance. He asked.
—Then Lord, do you have a way to kill those deities?
-I don’t know. You can just fight.
There was a gap between the Master Class and God that could be said to be on a different level.
It’s worth thinking about what the gap is, but I figured out what the powers of the Woo Gods were. It means that there is a chance to fight and overcome.
As Kiara told me, transcendence monsters’ authority is limited to domination of the realm.
Once I stripped of that god’s majesty, she wouldn’t be able to blast me away with magic bombardments or strong arrows like any sky god or hunting goddess I’ve ever seen.
─You don’t know whether you will win or lose until you try. I was just ready to fight.
So I told Kiara.
“——Maybe you are too, right? Sir Colido.”
“… Yes.”
He kept his mouth shut for a very long time, then nodded. If he lived with the creed of not lying, there would be many times when he would be in need of an answer like now.
Fortunately, I didn’t have to ask.
There are also answers that are conveyed through the eyes, not words.
Whatever the outcome, it was our victory if only one of the gods was cleared from this continent.
Shit, comparing it to the ultimate complete body wearing a permanent invincibility pattern, the 1/3 version with a few options seems worth trying. I feel like an unlicensed unemployed person who memorizes only car catalogs.
【Please bring me a map of the eastern coastline of the Azteca Empire.】
We persistently sought information from the collaborators we gathered from the field, and revised the operation tenaciously to the point that only the prototype remained.
And finally, Atlantis, who burned the expedition, and the rebellious forces of the heart, who would throw their lives like straw against this infernal domination, laid siege to the empire of cannibals.
From now on, it was as usual.
It’s time to kill God.
The only difference was that the opponent was not a human god, but a monster who wanted to become a god.
