Chapter 189 – 188. Tightening Poison (2)

-Prophecy of Destiny-

The inevitable destruction of the gods will come.

The one who will bring death to the gods is a star that does not even know its own name yet.

The gods were afraid.

The end is approaching for them in an eternal life that knows no end.

That an end that should not exist exists for them.

The three goddesses of Moirai. These three old women, Closo, Lachesis, and Atropos, predicted their own death and an end that should not have existed.

This shouldn’t exist.

Since it shouldn’t exist, they tried to erase that young [Star’s existence].

The three goddesses of fate.

Moira tsk and click her tongue.

“I guess I can kill him with this.”

“It’s impossible.”

“It’s already your fate.”

“It has been decided.”

“Why.”

And the being in front of them, an androgynous being with blonde hair.

He is none other than Jupiter.

And Jupiter, the god whose male organ was cut off by Kim Hae-jin.

This was a god who touched his woman the wrong way and was literally bitten to pieces. The leader of Olympia, one of the axis of the Elder God forces, and the head of the force that dominates Phrygia.

And this is the god who became a eunuch after having his dick bitten off by the hounds of Tindalos.

Naturally, he cannot even stand in front of Kim Hae-jin.

“I warned you, didn’t I?”

“The hound, if you desire his woman.”

“You can’t have sex anymore-“

“Stop! That’s because he’s stronger than I thought-“

You don’t want to admit it.

Because he is arrogant and a libertine.

He never expected to be so humiliated by a human being.

But do you know?

It is a monster that was taken by the Demon Sultan and roamed the battlefield filled with star beings for over thousands of years.

That’s why no matter what you do, you can’t beat him.

Even as the threads of his fate were unraveling, there was no conclusion that Jupiter would defeat the hound.

Even the demigod Gilgamesh cannot win in a head-to-head fight.

Now that the gods’ eccentric acts were occurring at an exponential rate, their opponents were also growing stronger at a crazy rate.

They are just the ones printing it out in front of the giant printer called fate, and they cannot change it.

So, they say that they decide their fate by showing the printed fate, but they are also just a part of that fate, so how can they do anything other than change this?

Despite this, he seems to be constantly pestering them to change his fate.

Even the family of Pantalone.

Philoctetes Pantalone.

He sent Mercurius to steal the Hydra poison he received from Alkeides, but in the end, nothing changed.

Clark – Dawn Bringer.

When they tried to look into this being who didn’t even know their true name, they couldn’t recognize them at all and almost burned their brains.

You can’t even measure it.

There is only one case like this.

…

He literally means the end for them.

And it looks like they are trying to turn it around somehow, but nothing is changing.

Well, even if you give a warning, they don’t listen to it, so what’s the point?

“In the end, you ignore him and fuss about him, and then you change it to think he’s better. And I can’t see his [Fate] To die from that poison anywhere.”

“Aren’t you the ones who can determine that fate?”

“…Why don’t you leave it at that?”

And then a goddess with pale skin, black hair, and black wings appeared in front of him.

Nyx, goddess of the night.

The mother of these three old women.

Nyx, the goddess of the night, reacted to Jupiter’s warning, and Jupiter retreated behind her with a sigh. Even though he is Nyx, the goddess of the night, it would be tantamount to suicide for her to harass her daughters in her space.

“Why are you being so ugly? You also came all the way up here to defy your father.”

“Can you do that even though you could die?”

“Well, after all, this is just a reference book. Why are you like this? You’re being swayed too much by Nodence, Jupiter. And don’t get upset and go away. You were able to succeed because the Demon Sultan was looking out for you. I think you can beat that kid. “They’re scared and don’t let them fight head-on, and they’re making plans to kill the others.”

“You’re going to fight! With that monster?”

Ah, don’t know.

The Shubniguras next to him must be scared as hell.

Even the Creation Goddess, who has regained her strength, and Clark himself are surprisingly powerful enough to be on par with the current Jupiter. Although there may be some disadvantages, it is clear that such differences will be overcome with surprising sense during battle.

“Hmm? Why? I didn’t specifically pick that kid, so why? Besides, you guys, I heard that you all got your powers confiscated as a group after being told off by Mortus, so why are you doing this? Pluto, that idiot, and the other guys too. Ahahahaha!! “

“…Do you think he won’t kill you?”

“I’m not going to fight, so why? If he needs something from me, he’ll try to make a deal first, so what? Is it because he started a fight and now it’s his turn to take the blame? And then he’s pushing the kids he trusts out as meat shields? Do you see those threads behind him?”

Yeah, don’t fight.

Are you going to fight like crazy?

If they try to kill you, you have to ask and beg for their life. What can you do?

The cause of this is the distortion of fate that occurred when Jupiter and other local gods drove mortals into meat shields.

That distortion distorted the printed destiny determined by the goddesses of fate.

Those threads were distorted by numerous Elder Gods, including Jupiter.

“…You guys are going to fight me after making such a fuss?”

“…Ha! If we can save everyone’s lives-“

“Entire?”

A fool who doesn’t care what happens to the rest as long as he lives alone.

It’s mind-boggling.

And when Nyx asked, Jupiter also seemed embarrassed.

That’s right, because they are beings who know their own nature better than anyone else.

“…Are you saying there is a being that wants to die?”

“Do you think it’s just you?”

“Please help me. Nyx, if you keep going like this, you too-“

“It’s strange. Why is that kid who hated Solias so much now living in Solias with the stupid bitch who became Ilias by his side?”

“It’s like we’re each other’s enemies-“

“I don’t think it can be interpreted as saying that we have the same enemy.”

It’s not like that at all when you look at Ilias with so much honey in his eyes.

At least that’s how the Knicks see it.

“…So, are you going to help me or not? If you don’t help me, you are my enemy.”

“Can you win? If you fight me and win, that idiot who is trying to kill you will keep you alive. Right?”

Thor, that damn muscle mass.

Yes, it’s exactly what it says.

He had messed with Thor’s priestess, and as a result, Thor was rushing to kill Jupiter every time he saw him.

“Get out. Don’t ever appear in front of me again. I said you were an enemy, so the next time I see you, you will die.”

“Tsk-“

In the end, Jupiter couldn’t even get his money’s worth and retreated.

And Nyx sighed and spoke to his daughters(?).

“Just fold up and stand back. Anyway, the fate of those things messing about openly has no meaning anymore.”

“Mother-“

“That’s it. Fate has no meaning anymore. They ripped open a duck’s stomach and now they have to fix it. There has to be a case for even a red-handed leader.”

In a word, her condition right now is so shit that I can’t do anything about it. That’s about it.

People will no longer come to the temple of the three goddesses of fate.

Of course-

There was one more person who came before that –

“…Excuse me. I came to hear the oracle.”

“Hmm? Oracle?”

Nyx looks at the mortal who came before her. Moirai was in the middle of packing and was about to close the business (?) When a customer came.

Hmm.

Well, Nyx looks at this mortal, thinking that this too must be fate.

Judging from the bronze color, black hair, strong upper body, and bow strapped to his back, he appears to be an archer.

He is also an extremely powerful archer.

And, the otherworldly energy that fills my body.

Ah, indeed.

Did you get caught up and then come back?

“Yes, it’s an oracle – unfortunately my daughters are packing their bags now, if that’s okay with me?”

“…Are you Nyx?”

“Oh, you recognize me?”

Of course, who would be Moirai’s mother? It’s the Knicks.

Okay.

People who come here knowing that this is the temple of the Goddess of Fate will naturally know who the being above it is.

It just worked out well.

The gods who continued to inflict pain on the daughters were extremely annoying.

Gods who just want to stay put, but they keep giving shit.

And anyway, as long as Jupiter did that damn thing, he would definitely continue to be a bother.

“Okay, what happened?”

“…I had a dream. I was among many people, and my body was torn apart, making way for those who followed.”

Is this a dream interpretation? And with a high probability it is a dream about this mortal’s fate. And through the pulley that saw the fate of his children, Nyx discovered the fate of this mortal. And where he should go.

And where to send it.

“Go to the territory of Carlos, near Teiba. Then you will be able to walk the path of your destiny.”

“Are you sure I won’t try to defy fate?”

“Haven’t you already decided? You are a man like an arrow fired. And, you know the path you should take.”

“…”

“Tell me more about your dreams.”

“After I was torn to pieces, a huge monster howled.”

Is it.

“Try to find that blond tanned bastard over there. Let’s help him.”

“Blonde, tanned?”

Ah-

I don’t know this.

“The one with the blonde hair and bronze skin, he is the one you need to help. The one you need to open the way for.”

“…Is that so.”

“Aren’t you afraid?”

Nyx asks.

The man with black hair and equally tanned skin grinned and accepted his fate.

“If I wasn’t happy about being able to open the way for the lives that follow, how could I not accept such a glorious path as my destiny? However, that monster is-“

“You don’t have to worry. That’s really true.”

It’s just that fate is trying to train a [Monster] To the extreme. I can’t say anything else than that. Following Mortus, the Demon Sultan’s eyes were also on Nyx and himself.

Ha, really.

And since you committed a foul anyway, you can do it too.

“I’ll throw it near Carlos’s territory, so you can find it yourself.”

Snaps his fingers

And then, the archer in front of me disappeared-

At the same time, Nyx looked at the sky and said.

“…From the moment that monster was watching this place, you idiots just assumed they were all dead.”

Do you know?

Since they are in her hands, they can die at any time.

In the end, no matter how hard I struggle, the fact that it’s in the palm of my hand won’t change.

Religion,

Oooh religion.

It is like human madness.

I look at the priests in front of me as I continue to work on the soldiers’ equipment, which is currently being strengthened with ravenous magic.

No, really-

Isn’t that right?

It’s like putting up a fishing pole for fear of your food bowl shrinking.

“Stop, Geumtaeyang. I can’t sit by and watch your unholy behavior any longer.”

“…Oh my gosh, whatever these idiots do, they say it’s disrespectful.”

“Golden Sun, be careful what you say. These are the members of the Church of Jupiter-“

“So what?”

“What?”

Hector is trying to stop me, but there is no reason for me to bend to them in the first place. Naturally, they were the ones who started the fight first, and naturally, very, [Naturally]-

I don’t plan on getting involved as long as they don’t start a fight with me, but don’t these gods trust the guys who are hell-bent on killing me regardless of whether their followers follow suit or not?

God does not save.

God doesn’t listen to prayers.

God is ignoring you.

So, in order to survive, you have to become strong yourself.

But, how come it is that humans prefer to be held in their grasp rather than walking on their own? And I know that these things see humans as their [Prey].

That’s right, because in the conversation with Ilias, it was said that elder gods eat human souls.

Well, even if the soul goes to the god I believe in, wouldn’t it be good to get some help?

I am also a similar monster, so I am not in a position to say anything, and I am in a position to deal with souls, and if I am absorbing souls through a contract in exchange for saving and helping them, I have no reason to say anything…

This is a breach of contract where a contract is made but not fulfilled.

So, you have to figure out how to survive, but let’s put this on hold.

Mmm.

“What can I do about coming to the face of a person who is struggling to survive and blatantly criticizing him for being disrespectful? Then what are you asking me to do?”

“It’s just as you said. This is a trial given to humans.”

And a priest of the Order of Jupiter who does not deny what I say but says it as it is. Just looking at him, he has slitted eyes, a hooked nose, and a bad temper. It looks like he’s a priest and he’s strutting around. Naturally, he’s come to talk nonsense to me, who is working to increase the survival rate of my troops.

There really is nothing like this.

“You’re really fucking up.”

I can’t take this anymore.

“What are you doing to fools who don’t even listen to prayers and turn a blind eye? Hey, you bastards, are you talking about the things you turned away because they lacked [Religion], Knowing that even your gods could have healed them but they didn’t? “

“And Golden Sun, bring that unholy [Heresy] By your side to us now.”

Ha, really.

What on earth do these bastards want to do?

“Wow… I’m going to kill the being who revived so many people? Does that even matter in the event of a foreign invasion?”

“I never asked for your opinion, Geumtaeyang. God’s will is important to us.”

“Ah, so don’t do anything and wait for God’s will? Fuck you, you bastards. You are the type of bastards who leave life and death to God’s will.”

“Golden Sun, these are the priests of the Church of Jupiter-“

“…Hey, fuck, so what did these bastards do to your soldiers?”

“…”

There’s nothing.

Obviously-

“It’s blasphemous! You, the guy who doesn’t follow God, just being here is going against God’s will!!! Hector, kick this man out right now…”

“Ah, so you’re saying that saving the soldiers’ lives is blasphemous?”

“That’s right. Going against God’s will-“

“Then, is it okay for your gods to know that your true intention is to just call them idiots?”

“Yeah-“

“For a moment-“

And only then did the other priests try to silence him, but it was already too late to silence him.

Everyone here listened.

“…This is so close to tears. The gods want the lives of their believers. Isn’t it too much to just let them die without any intention of saving the country?”

“It’s sophistry!!!”

“What is sophistry? God exists and has the power and capacity to help, but what is the point of not helping?”

What can I do?

I’m just saying it’s a joke.

“…Hey, the devil!!”

“That’s right. Even if God doesn’t help you, Geumtaeyang, who is even disrespectful to [Devils], Helps you under the name of a contract. And if you’re going to call me a devil, then let’s talk about it before that.”

I wanted to mention this in front of them.

I could write more than 10 books about their duplicity and bullshit, but if I could talk about this, there would be no end to it, so I only mention in front of them what they want to hide and what they are trying not to mention.

“Why did you try to bury the heroes? You oracles did everything you told them to do and even killed the demon king and came back, but even if the gods were angry with the heroes’ party, why did you try to bury the rest?”

“Don’t listen!! Anyone who listens to this from now on-“

“There is only one answer. You had nothing to do with this country in the first place. That is, when you die, you will go up to [Olympia].”

Ah, it doesn’t matter if I die in this life~

Yes, if you die, just go to Olympia.

But do you know what?

They cannot climb to Olympia from the beginning, and even if they do, what awaits them is merciless predation.

Tsk.

Well, that’s good.

And, as soon as he finished speaking, the priests came in.

“The blasphemous person continues to commit blasphemy!!!”

Of course, I am being blasphemous.

I have no intention of denying it, and if I think about what was done to them, they have nothing to say even if it is disrespectful. Is being shameless a trait of the gods?

They declared those who followed their orders to catch the devil to be heretics and attempted to kill them.

Okay.

“Why, were you afraid because the people who will attack you have big heads?”

It shines.

And then the light shines, and the warriors and angels of Olympia appear.

Well, that’s good.

Lifting up the Vajra-

Just throw it at the angel.

Crumbling-!!

“Oh my!?”

“Even if you cover my mouth, your destruction cannot be avoided. And, shouldn’t you have done it right from the beginning?”

What happened? Why is it that they drove out her original owner and did the same thing to her and got fucked by riding a tree?

And the angel hit by Vajra’s entire body splits, shatters and disappears.

Rather than returning, it literally disappeared.

Usually, if you destroy something like this, you will be sent back to heaven, but this time, it will literally turn into powder and disappear.

As expected, Mortus.

Performance is solid, this too.

“Unbelievable-“

In the past, I would go to great lengths to kill these things, but now they are very easy to kill.

Well, that’s good.

“If you’re not going to help me, and if you’re not going to fight, then get out of here. You said you lack faith and are good at summoning angels, but did you summon them to kill me, you bastards?”

It’s really funny.

They said they lacked faith, so they didn’t fight and ran away, and yet they called me out without hesitation to kill me. Is there any nonsense as funny as this?

It’s really funny.

“Everyone, rush in!! That guy is alone!! If you give this guy space here…”

Was it then?

Kwaaaaa!!!

“?”

Something that was enough to raise dust was stuck in front of the priests. Dust flew up, and debris from the ground bounced into the sky. I saw something huge stuck in it, and when I checked, it was none other than an [Arrow].

Okay.

It’s not a ballista bolt, it’s a simple arrow.

What is this?

And looking at the direction the arrow came from, I saw that on the upper floor of the mansion where the Scherwitz family and their vassals were staying, a man with black hair and copper skin was holding a bow and aiming an arrow in this direction –

At the same time, another one blocks the priests.

Kwaaaaa-!!!

“Crazy.”

A curse came out of my mouth.

No, this kind of power comes from just one arrow?

“Let’s stop there. Is it what the priests of the church would do to attack you wizards who are helping people?”

“Yes, who are you!?”

“That author..!!”

Hector, Hector, who was with him, seems to have recognized who that man was. Of course, I have never heard of anyone being able to shoot a bow like this. What is this-

“Do you know someone?”

“… He was the leader of the Phrygian archers. Also, I heard that he went missing. Is he alive?”

“So who is it?”

“Arash Kamanga.”

Then, Hector looked at the man he called Arash and said:

“…A man whose path of survival is unrivaled by anyone. You’ve probably never heard of him. It must have been 20 years since he went missing. He was the most reliable person among us.”

If Hector evaluates it this way, it means that he is quite a powerful being. Plus, he’s been missing for 20 years.

“…”

“What are you going to do? Are you going to stay here? And blonde, you need to calm down and step back. If you start exercising your power here, a lot of people will get hurt.”

“I didn’t even intend to fight from the beginning. I just attacked him from here.”

“Even so, if we keep fighting, other people will get hurt.”

“…If they don’t fight anymore, I have no reason to do so.”

“That said, why don’t you back down? This time it’s the ground, but next time I’ll aim for it directly.”

“…Huh, let’s wait and see!!”

I’m not scared of those who say we’ll wait and see. Of course, these guys who just rush in to stop you without saying anything are really scary cases. And although it was because I was so excited that I didn’t even notice it just a moment ago, I couldn’t properly sense that someone was aiming and I only found out after the shooting started, so I had no choice but to be wary of him.

And while the priests grit their teeth and step back, Arash, who was on the roof, lightly falls to the floor and lands.

The meeting of Hector and Arash.

“…Lord Arash, I never thought I’d see you here again.”

“Uh, wait… Are you Hector? You seem older.”

“…It’s already been 20 years since you went missing.”

“…Oh, wait, really?”

Did you know each other there?

And while the two were having that conversation, Anna also took out her sword and came next to me, and I could see that this man was quite dangerous and strong.

Also, if you fight with a high probability, there is a high chance of getting seriously hurt.

Then his eyes met mine, and at the same time, Arash looked at me for a moment, scratched his head, and then threw a fastball.

“Are you not planning on using me as an escort?”

??

“No, I mean, you look like you need help. Besides, you’re helping people, and you’re a good guy, right?”

I?

Are you nice?

…

What?

And Hector also looked at me after hearing Arash’s words and then spoke to Arash.

“By any chance, are you in pain, Arash?”

I know.

I can’t believe I’m good.

Are you in any pain?
