Chapter 565 – Two Stupid Gatekeepers

It feels like the energy is constricting my body.
This was my first thought when I first entered heaven.

The energy of the place, full of bright white backgrounds, was very annoying.
It seemed that the same was true for the wives, and even the others, led by Sehwa, showed displeased expressions.

The door is still open.
I, who had the monsters waiting at the entrance, furrowed my brows when two gigantic humanoid figures appeared in a place where I couldn’t even see the horizon.

‘The gatekeeper.’

A giant clad in white brilliance and wearing gorgeous armor.
Even though they were far away, they were so large that you could immediately see how enormous they were.

-#*&%$* #&*%$*%##@.

-#@$%! #@$%!

As I saw last time, those who spoke an unknown language,

Kuung-! Thud!

It came towards us, making noise.

“Big…”

The words of Stella, who was close behind me.
As she said, the gatekeepers were about 9 meters tall.
From the arms and legs to the head, it is truly enormous.

The problem is that the face resembles a human.
Because of that, there was a significant sense of disconnect.
It wouldn’t have been as awkward if it had been as scary as the statue of an old general.

Those guys came out of the belly of Venus? Is the fertility goddess also big?
As I was looking at them in silence with that question in mind, a gatekeeper other than the foolish Hecate said something to us.

-@#&$%.

It seems like a concise word… But I still don’t know what it means.
When I looked at Adele, asking for interpretation, she, guarded by three nervous slaves, cautiously opened her mouth.

“I’m asking where you’re from.”

“Where are you from?”

“Yes.”

Why are they suddenly conducting a census?
For now, I think you should answer whatever you want.
I looked up at the doorkeeper again and said.

“Erandel.”

-Erandel! Erandel!

Immediately afterwards, the planet Hakatega was mentioned.
Is it because you said it was a proper noun? It makes sense right away.

Anyway, I don’t know if it’s the voice, but my head feels dizzy.
I want to shut that idiot’s mouth… The problem is that there is no door to this place.
There was no entrance to heaven, but it seemed like they had to open it.

-Erandel… Is this the correct language?

Another gatekeeper’s question comes soon after.
I asked back, surprised by his extremely skillful pronunciation.

“Do you speak Erandel?”

-I learned it before.

“From whom?”

-From one of the now exiled gods.

He’s an exiled god… Is he from Erandel?
I know that there is no one with enough power to qualify as a god, but we cannot rule out the possibility that he existed tens of thousands of years ago.
Moreover, since I had no choice but to believe it now, I decided to skip this topic.

-Erandel! I know the language too! Know!

-Shut up, Hecate.

-Leto, I hate it! Leto, I hate it!

The other gatekeeper’s name was Leto.
Both names fit very well.
I asked while listening to the ridiculous conversation between the two people.

“Are you guys opening the entrance to heaven?”

Then Leto frowned at her and crossed his arms.
The same goes for Hecate. She changed her posture with a grim look on her face, as if trying to emulate her brother.

-Is that so? What is your business?

I guess this is the reason why they can come out confidently even though the difference in power is clear.
It’s worth knowing.

Listening to Leto’s words, it doesn’t seem like Rosario told them anything.
I very much agree with Adele’s statement that all gods are individualistic.

Since I don’t think it will follow me if I force it, I decided that I should hide my purpose until I open the entrance, so I answered.

“Now that I’m qualified, I’m planning to enter.”

-Hmm… From the looks of it, he doesn’t know much about this world, and he seems to be a young kid who has just gained the status of a god… The energy sleeping inside his body is extremely evil. Are the women behind you messengers? Or is it a relative? Whatever it is, it seems like I share your energy.

As expected from a celestial figure, he quickly grasps the power that is opposite to his own.

“Is there a problem?”

-There is.

“What?”

-The door behind you… When I see the evil legion waiting outside, I am strongly convinced that they have come for war.

“I don’t think it’s strange to have a preparedness plan since you don’t know what might happen since it’s your first time here?”

-I can feel the hostility, but you’re lying for no reason. Whatever it is, you can’t enter heaven.

“The reason is?”

-It’s because of the energy sleeping in your body. Heaven is the realm of good gods. No one can open the entrance to you, who is radiating the energy of an evil spirit. The gates of hell can be opened.

I guess there is a hell besides heaven.
I haven’t heard anything about this from Adele… It’s probably a place where evil spirits live.
Looking at Leto’s face, with one corner of his mouth raised and a wicked smile on his face, it is clear that hell is a place where one would live in poverty.

“Then do I have to go to hell?”

-Yes.

“Is there no room for negotiation?”

-Does not exist! Does not exist!

Hecate answers on behalf of Leto.
There’s nothing worse than what an idiot says, and that’s exactly how I feel right now.
That guy will definitely make you regret it.

“I cannot trust you, the gatekeeper, to have the power to make decisions. “I want to talk to Venus.”

The two people’s thick eyebrows twitched at those words.

-How do you know my mother’s name?

-Mother! Mother!

“I know the names of the gods who have lived for countless hours and have been passed down by word of mouth. Venus is one of them.”

-Hmm… I see. It’s nice to know that your mother is famous, but I can’t let you meet her.

“Why?”

-Because you are evil.

-Evil! Wicked!

I had expected the two guys to come out like that.
How do we overcome this situation?

From the looks of it, Leto seems to have an honest side.
It’s not as good as Hecate, but her hair feels simple…
In that case, I should try to gently provoke them and try to get them to answer the questions that are coming to my mind.

“Can I ask one question?”

-Speak.

“Does Venus love you guys?”

-Hmm?

The two tilt their heads at the sudden confirmation of their affection.
I asked again, maintaining a calm expression.

“Does Venus really care about you, the children she gave birth to from her womb?”

-I don’t know the meaning of this question, but what mother in the world could not love her child?

“I guess the reason I entrusted you with such an important mission as gatekeeper is because I trust and love you guys so much, right?”

-You can say so.

Seeing him patting his chest with pride makes me laugh.
I said, smirking at their actions.

“If I love you guys so much, I guess we’ll see each other often?”

-Of course. As you said, we have an important mission. So, my mother also chats with us the most. Even though I have hundreds of brothers and sisters.

-Yes! Yes!

A hundred children…
Among them, I will make all the beautiful daughters my slaves.
If you were to make her a mother and give birth to her children, they would be much stronger than those born to ordinary humans.
Rosario will have already been subdued by then, but I think it can be used well to oust the remaining rebels.

“Do you step in and mediate when brothers and sisters fight?”

-Sounds obvious…! Are you a big boy who didn’t receive your mother’s love? Too bad.

I lowered my voice to Leto, who was shaking as if he had no idea what was going to happen.

“So, if I try to kill you guys, you’ll find me?”

-What…?

Leto and Hecate’s powers were weak, even if viewed favorably.
It means there is absolutely no need for me to step forward.
Looking at the guys with their eyes wide open, I gave an order to Yuria, who was standing next to me.

“Don’t kill me.”

“Huh.”

Then, Yuria raised her magic spirit to her feet and let go of the bowstring she was pulling.

Thump-! Puhwaak-!

With a roar like a cannon firing, a black arrow pierces Leto’s abdomen…

-Hmm!?

He, who was embarrassed by the wound that appeared without even realizing it, opened his mouth when he saw the shiny white blood flowing from his body.

-Gaaaaa?!!

Leto lets out a loud scream and falls backwards.
I guess the pain that came late was significant.

-Leto, you got hit! I got hit!!

-Kaaaaa!! Sick!!

-Sick! Sick! Therapy! Therapy!

It is dumbfounding to see Hecate shedding tears as she approaches her brother, who is rolling on the floor in pain.
Are these guys really gods? If you look at what he’s doing, he’s an innocent child…
I think he may not be God because he is the gatekeeper.

Pow-!

-Quaaaaa!!!!

-Leto! Leto!

Just as he was thinking those thoughts, one of Leto’s legs exploded with an explosion sound.
White blood scattering in all directions. Yuria made an additional attack without considering the circumstances, and this time she pulled the bowstring as if she was aiming for Hecate’s arm.

After holding her back for a moment, I spoke to Hecate who was screaming at her.

“When will your mother come?”

-Innoom!! Inooooom!!!!

Hecate, who is glaring at us with burning eyes as if she is quite angry, is getting bigger and bigger.
Are you trying to demonstrate your true skills? Even so, it is weak.
When I tried to order Yuria to attack, convinced that words would not make sense,

-Stop, stop.

From the empty space, a voice so clear that I thought it was pure was heard.
