Chapter 265 – God or Man
Moving to Olympus was simpler than I thought.
Just like entering a gate, I just opened the passage and entered.
Like the Demon Realm and Olympus, I was able to enter without too much trouble than I thought, so it was bland.
“Isn’t there such a thing as a gatekeeper?”
“There is, but they’re asleep, because they haven’t fully recovered their strength yet.”
When humans get up after lying down for a long time, their muscles are bound to die, but what about God?
The fact that only the gods with the least strength survived and the rest were all asleep made my heart feel at ease.
‘Even if I recover, it’s just a bit better than Ares… So it won’t pose a big threat to me.’
In the case of Apollo, even if there was a possibility of stabbing him in the back, he would not immediately show hostility, so there were fewer gods to deal with than he thought.
Hestia and Artemis, who are virgin gods, can’t even touch me, so I can ignore them.
Hades was not even Olympus in the first place, so there was no need to even consider it in the first place.
The only ones that can be considered as strong enemies are Zeus and Poseidon.
To be honest, everything else seemed to be at that level, so I didn’t care too much.
‘Looking at it this way, Olympus has fewer combatants than I thought.’
In the days when the power of the gods was strong, a few combatants could have endured everything, but now things have changed a lot.
They brewed alcohol, sang songs, danced, and even made love to embody the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of humans, but all of them were meaningless now.
“But it’s different from back then.”
“Ah, it felt like an emergency escape at that time. That’s why.”
Athena continued her words, clinging to my body with her blue hair twitching.
It was attached to the body, saying that it was right to use sex slaves like objects, but the intention was so obvious that it was rather funny.
If Chunhyang was pure madness, should Athena be said to be pure white 19 gold?
[Be better! Don’t you know that I’m not lagging behind in terms of purity!]
I don’t know.
After dismissing Chunhyang’s nonsense, I continued to ask questions.
“Emergency escape?”
“Yes. It’s a form of support from above when you can’t keep your mind on your own.”
“It’s not like that now, so you can sneak in?”
“Right.”
Athena nodded eagerly next to me and accepted my words.
I wondered if there was even a need for this, but I understood.
Just like when a person who normally only has a strong side finds a place to lean on, it slowly starts to crumble.
She also realized that everything she had been protecting was useless, and she now revealed herself as a female, not a warrior.
As much as the years she had lived as a warrior, the range of change when she became a woman as a reaction was inevitable.
“First of all, even if you come, it’s very wide, so it’s good to hide.”
“Yes, I’ll be treated as missing, so I’d better go to the hideout first.”
“Hideout? Is there such a thing?”
“Even the gods have a desire to create their own personal space.”
Athena scratched her cheek and guided me, as if she was embarrassed to say that.
Because it was a hiding place, it was clear that the movement was instantaneous.
Just hold Athena’s hand and close and open her eyes without getting caught by anyone.
It was a bit dizzy as the surrounding background changed so quickly in a short period of time.
In terms of a movie, it feels like six screen transitions took place in less than three minutes.
“This is my hiding place.”
“I can tell just by looking at it.”
A clean and cool interior unfolds before your eyes on a marble-based floor.
The modernized feeling of the Athena temple was reduced to a small size, and it was said that it was really Athenian.
“First of all, what is the exact purpose you want here, Master?”
As soon as Athena arrived at the lair, she immediately set the table and chairs in front of me and started the meeting.
Certainly, since he was a god of war and had a strong desire to win, his acting power was tremendous.
‘This is convenient.’
It was very psychologically stable to be able to handle something in cooperation like this after always moving alone.
I couldn’t talk to anyone and I used to move alone.
It felt so good to design together.
“To be Zeus George. Zeus is leading the gods of Olympus right now, right?”
“Yes, you’re right. But you’re half right and half wrong. Father, no, it’s true that Zeus is nominally the leader, but rather than leading, he’s the one who sets opinions.”
“Isn’t that what it is?”
“Um… There’s a strange difference, but there are many gods who make decisions but don’t follow them.”
It meant that instead of deciding where to go and moving everyone there, it was a role that really only said, “I’m going to go here.”
To put it simply, he was not a leader, but just a class president who notifies the group chat room by copying and pasting announcements.
“Isn’t that the case with Apollo too?”
“Apollo?”
“Yes.”
As soon as the word came out, I shared information about Apollo.
From the way he came to my house to the time he asked me not to hurt him.
Athena listened to all these words, pondered for a moment, and then continued her words.
“Actually, we’ve been asleep for a long time and just woke up and started our activities… I can’t guess how their personalities might have changed. But from what I’ve found out so far, that poor Apollon must have said that out of unconditional goodwill. I don’t think so, and the information about being armed isn’t that great.”
Athena had a point.
I was even more suspicious of Apollo when I heard this from others while I was also worried about being stabbed in the back.
And the information about being armed is not a big deal.
This, too, was part of what he vaguely felt when Apollo uttered his words.
‘Of course I’ll be armed to fight.’
Information from Apollo, who came to tell us that ice is cold.
And the basic evaluation of being sleepy.
When I tried to combine these two properly, there was only one result.
“Are you trying to steal the power of Zeus by striking me in the back of the head?”
“Maybe.”
Knowing that I was going to fight the gods, but telling me to get rid of myself, it was a story with enough potential.
Otherwise, there was no need to suddenly show goodwill for no reason.
You don’t see a reason to fight humans? It was more plausible than that nonsense reason.
The fact that I am the son of Zeus, and the fact that Athena came to me when she went missing, and so on.
Every time I spoke with Athena, it began to reveal how suspicious he was.
‘Well, I had no intention of trusting me in the first place, but I can feel that he looked at me as a pet.’
Apollo came empty-handed, knocked a few times and said a few words before going up, greeted him appropriately and went up.
More and more offenses are added to him.
“No matter how you think about it, Apollo must be the first one to catch.”
“That’s right. I dare to imagine that I shouldn’t do it to my master, so I have to make it sweet.”
The conclusion has been reached, now all that remains is to act.
The most important thing now was where to find Apollo.
If you move rashly, all the gods may come to support you, so you have to act secretly.
Athena noticed that and opened her mouth first.
Athena’s fighting spirit to lead the result to victory was working very well.
“I think it’s right to go to Hephaestus for now.”
“Why are you there?”
“Because we have to prepare enough.”
It’s been a long time since I tasted a power-up event.
‘It’s good.’
I was very excited.
++++++++++++++++
“Hmm… What is Taeyang Baek doing?”
If I had known this was going to happen, I should have left at least a trace and monitored his movements.
From his hiding place, Apollo looked down at the earth and fell into many troubles.
‘When will the white sun really move?’
The most ideal thing was for the white sun to react belatedly when the gods descended to the ground.
If that happens, of course Olympus will be empty, and then the throne will naturally become empty.
It didn’t gain strength just because it was empty, but having that form itself had a great advantage.
‘Because I can’t be too irresponsible…’
Apollo had hidden his plans so thoroughly that he even deceived himself.
If you think harshly on Olympus, the moment your thoughts are read, you may be driven to death as a traitor.
He pretended to be a pacifist and waited for an opportunity.
Meeting Baek Taeyang was all part of that plan.
When he was asked who he had met, he confidently said that he had met Baeksun, pretending to be neutral, so that he could pretend to be for humans.
Rather, if he came out confidently, he would surely be weak even if he was punished, so Apollo had his own way.
“If the white sun can defeat Ares and Athena, it can capture Zeus.”
If I catch Zeus, I’ll aim for that gap and hit him in the back.
Apollo rose from his seat thinking his plan was too perfect.
‘Then, shall I go get the weapon too?’
It was time to begin the covert armament.
