Chapter 847 – Mythology Academy
And the illusion collapsing. The first Seongil did not understand why the atmosphere had changed so much in such a short period of time, even though Lantz had become corrupted by accepting Tala’s suggestion.
However, Seong-il, who saw the illusion shown by Tala, realized why Lanz’s personality had suddenly become distorted and looked at Lanz with an expression full of anger. No, I ask while glaring at Tala.
“This bastard… You… Destroyed Lanz’s personality?”
『What do you mean, killing? You saw the scene where they took the oath, right? He and I are ‘equal.’』
“Fuck you, you bastard.”
As the saying goes, they are ‘equal’ beings. Seong-il becomes angry when he realizes that Tala played a trick by injecting essence into Lanz’s soul and deleting the personality of Lanz Ludian.
Hehe… Well… Lanz Ludian’s personality disappeared… But you still kept the contract, right? Lanz’s soul is equal to the essence of me, Tala! Even though… It’s just irrational.』
A vicious act that befits the title of god of deception and mischief. Although Seong-il did not have a special relationship with Lanz, he enjoyed playing games based on his life, so he did not think of Lanz as a bad person. Take on that protagonist in an instant. When Seong-il uses him to corrupt him, he becomes furious for the first time in a long time.
『Hehe… You seem angry? It’s amazing. You have no connection with this kid, and since you’ve seen her memories, you’ve learned why she hates you, so it’s clear that you hate this kid too.』
As much as she is used to playing with mortal emotions, Tala immediately finds blind spots and is intrigued by her Seong-il’s attitude.
『There is no contact, but I am aware of it, and I have no bad feelings about it. You are fascinating.』
“Shut up and prepare to be attacked. I will use any means possible to find your pitiful essence and tear you to death.”
Instead of being embarrassed by Tala’s trick, Seong-il stares at the guy and seriously threatens him with death. He has already experienced damaging not only Tala but also the essence of Luhop and Nygl.
Of course, because the essence was embedded in order to maintain the dimensional crack, the three existing gods were receiving a huge penalty. However, another piece of Tala is free from the penalty and is more threatening than before, but Seongil was confident that he would be able to eliminate it with his skills.
『Wonderful. A mortal witnessing me and facing me proudly without the slightest fear. I even respect it.』
“Keep having fun. See if you can smile even if another of your essences perishes at my hands. Are you expecting two of your essences to be damaged already? Even though you are a powerful god who rules the chaotic outer universe… If your essence is continuously damaged and weakened… You will eventually be attacked by other brothers who covet your weakened power and dimension. Will you be able to smile even then?”
Surprisingly, Seong-il now seems to have some understanding of outer space, and Tala becomes even more interested. Therefore, instead of feeling offended, he becomes very happy when he sees Seong-il threatening him. After laughing out loud, Tala laughs and replies to Seongil.
『Let’s make a bet.』
“… What a mess, you idiot. You’re just wiping your neck. I’ll kill you right away. Do I look like an idiot like Lantz?”
Seong-il looks furious and curses at Tala, who is trying to manipulate him until the very moment he declares war.
『Wow… Just listen to it first. If you don’t listen, you will only lose.』
“You’re talking like you’re losing money. You bastard. Where are you manipulating…”
『If you accept my bet, I will reveal my location to you. If I win the bet, not only will I answer all the questions you ask, but I will also free all the souls of the mortals in this world that have been held captive by me. Ah! The same goes for Lanz.』
“I’m not interested in that kind of thing. Whether they get away with it or not is none of my business.”
Based on experience, Seong-il knew very well that he could end up in trouble if he got involved with such an evil person for no reason. Because of this, Seong-il cuts off Tala’s proposal with a single cut.
“Okay? What a pity. Then I’ll see you in the future. Because I will escape to the depths of this world.』
“And I will definitely find you and tear you to death.”
『Hehe… You want to try it? It won’t be easy, right?』
Tala says that unlike her holy days, her life and life are infinite, and she is willing to play hide and seek on the ground for a very long time for her purpose.
“But this land is small. I and you have countless visions that you don’t know about. If I use them, I will definitely be able to find you. I promise. You will see me soon.”
When Tala shows off her courage, Seong-il warns her in a threatening tone. In fact, Seong-il was planning to go to great lengths to find out how to chase Tala from the space meow of the cursed throne world or the dark god of the dungeon world, so he threatens Tala in a tone full of sincerity.
♠Oh~! I feel sincere. So how about this? I plan to unleash the power of the ‘meteorite’. Then, about 1/3 of the humans on this continent who have not learned supernatural powers or magic will die.』
Seong-il is shocked when he realizes that Tala really has the fortune of a meteor. And at his reaction, Tala whispers that it is fascinating.
『You… Do you know meteorites? That’s pretty good too.』
Although it is said that information about the meteorite was obtained based on Walter’s explanation. Seongil’s reaction was by no means typical. Tala, who is adept at reading other people’s emotions, sees Seong-il’s reaction and persistently whispers to him.
『Let’s do it this way. If you accept my bet, I swear on my true name that I will never touch the meteorite that I first discovered and have used ever since. How is it? And I’ll give you a reward. Knowledge, power, etc… Anything is fine!』
“This bastard… What kind of bet is this that you keep making up?”
Seong-il is annoyed when Tala keeps talking about betting, but he wonders what the guy is after. In addition, unexpectedly, he secretly senses that the meteorite is quite important to him, and is unable to cut off Tala’s whispers.
『It’s simple. I will tell you where I am, so come there by yourself. And compete with me. Anything is fine. Fighting is good, and knowledge competition is good.』
“Damn you. Where is this rip-off? Why, you damn bastard. Why are you cleverly leaving out the words ‘you’re not alone’? Look at this bastard cheating!”
『Oh! Smart!』
Tala cleverly tries to play with words until the end. Since Seong-il had no intention of falling victim to such a bastard’s tricks, he declared that he would never go ‘alone’.
『Good, good. Then let’s do it like this. Come to the place I told you within a week. You can bring a few people. However, it must be within ‘one week’. If more time passes, I will assume that you refused to bet and unleash the power of the meteorite.』
‘… Why a week?’
Seong-il was able to quickly catch that there was definitely a trap in the guy’s conditions. Therefore, in order to destroy this guy’s masterpiece, Seong-il asks Tala for detailed conditions.
“Why a week? And where is it?”
『Why do I have to tell you the location? There’s a meteorite there. If you give up your bet after hearing the location and come here, I will suffer severe losses. Do you think I’m a fool?』
“Hmm…”
Because it is such an obvious principle, Seong-il cannot bear to deny Tala’s words. Because of this, he looks alone and thinks about what to do with an annoyed expression.
‘First… The response tells me that although there is a crisis… I can overcome it…’
However, since he knew that Tala was playing with cause and effect and time, Seongil could not 100% trust the response. However, because he could not bring the hometowns of his followers, Elain, Ophelia, and Claudia to ruin, he had no choice but to accept Tala’s bet.
“Good! Good! Since you promised, I will tell you the location. The place where you and I will meet is a place called ‘the end of the world’ or ‘the land of eternal ice and snow.’ Please come back within exactly one week. Otherwise, a catastrophe will come. Hehe…』
After saying that, Tala uses Lantz’s body to give Seongil an eerie smile. Not long after, Seong-il realizes that he has once again found his place at Mythology Academy.
“What on earth happened?”
“… Wait a minute. Now is not the time. You two, please come with me for a moment.”
Holy days have a time limit. He takes the two deans and quickly moves to Professor Aaron’s office and secretly transports them to reality.
“… What a cunning bastard!!”
In reality, the two deans, who stopped time for a moment and saw Seong-il’s memories (excluding the experience of teaching Elaine), curse at Tala with enraged expressions. Seong-il, who senses their reaction is unusual, asks why the two deans are angry.
