Chapter 376 – 375. Hestia (1)

Cohabitation that is not very welcome.

But in any case, we do it out of mutual need.

For now, I am leaving everyone behind and come to a remote place to look for Charles.

A lot of matted hair, a face that looks tired in many ways.

Judging by the way he was shaking, it looks like he was overexerting himself quite a bit.

And-

I feel a little sorry for that and extend his existence for a little while.

At least his vitality and existence that were lost due to my rampage.

“What is this?”

“Since you became the successor to the Minister of Death, you have lost vitality, strength, and the power to make up for the inevitable losses? Well, this time, it was caused by my rampage, and the loss was caused by supporting it, so I will make up for it. Is that strange?”

“I didn’t know you had that much conscience.”

“I know how to clean up my poop.”

While thinking about that, Charles laughs.

“Now that I’ve mentioned it, I ask you, Clark, no- [Kalos]. Are you going to keep trying to save him, even if it’s impossible?”

“Of course.”

For the man who was my friend, teacher, and father.

And he laments.

“If only there were people like you in the world, I wouldn’t have suffered and died so much.”

Something is said that is regrettable and full of resentment towards the world.

Considering his end, perhaps his lament is sincere. Well, if you think about the lingering feelings that remain just before and after your death – I ask the question here first.

“Charles-Henry Diegoll, I also want to ask you something. Among the [Things] My father, Kim Hae-jin, dealt with in his past life… [SleipnirThere was a name called ], Right?”

“I don’t know what happened after that, but that shitty colt ran wild on land and at sea. Even if I told you how much your father ran amok with that, you’d be surprised and think this was possible.”

“…”

“Are you curious about your father’s story, Yog-Sothoth?”

“No, it’s okay. Someday… I want to hear it directly from [My father].”

Shaking my head, I answered Charles’ words. Of course, that’s not the point anyway.

I only know about my father from later records. Therefore, it is not as vivid as hearing it directly from the person involved.

You can still hear it now, but-

Maybe I can only hear what I can hear as a [Friend] And [Adoptive father].

As a real child, there will be very few words or none at all.

“Tsk, you’re stubborn. I’m not even sure if I can do it or not.”

“It’s not whether you can do it or not… It’s what you must do.”

“…Is this your opinion as Kalos, or is this your opinion as [Clarke] And [Yog-Sothoth]?”

“All three.”

“…”

“For always being by my side as a friend, as a friend who was there for me when I was going through a shitty childhood, and as a [Father], Along with [My father] Who gave birth to me. And I won’t forget that, and I won’t forget that. What needs to be done is to get him back.”

“Even if I don’t remember you?”

I don’t remember.

Okay.

Because I erased my very existence.

“When I think about it, that’s true too. In the end, there’s nothing. Still, the work to do is the same.”

“…”

“Well, aren’t you also bound by the will of the Demon Sultan?”

“Are you asking this knowingly?”

It’s thorny, but…

Are you pessimistic about your own situation?

“It’s okay. Anyway, I’m only supporting you as long as my mind and body can maintain it, as per your father’s request. More than that, I don’t know Jormungand. You only know it from records, right?”

Nod your head.

Jormungand.

Created by Dr. Machina, Grows itself by eating machines and metal.The ultimate mechanical life form.

Named after Jormungandr, a giant snake monster, I heard that it could operate as a submarine or a second battleship. You might say that sounds nonsense, but at the time, Machina and Spiegelmayer were able to create it.

When I was human.

…

I made it when I was still human.

“I don’t know. Tsk – I don’t know. But, Sleipnir… Jormungand. Things on Earth and things here have merged. Different things are merging… Well. , Did you say that it is written like this in the Chinese character culture? ‘Ihap: 異合’.

“…”

“Whatever it is, think that it will be on a different level from what you knew. It is none other than the ‘Immortal Reaper’s’ favorite disease. Never make light of it. If Loki says it is strange and is not his child, it has mutated beyond imagination. “

If mom says that, has she said everything?

Tsk-

“No matter what happens, you have to hit it eventually. If it’s his, you have to find it and return it.”

“…That upright side is just like you, tsk.”

“What?”

“You’re ugly.”

And with those words, Charles disappeared.

I could bring it up whenever I wanted, but I didn’t really want to. Now is the time for him to rest.

It’s better than Kim Hae-jin, but he too is falling apart in real time.

…

Yes, it’s time for you to rest too.

…

“You need to rest.”

After a brief meeting with Charles.

And when he enters Spartal with Loki, not only his father-in-law, Leonidas, and Odyssey are troubled.

“Why do strange things always stick around you?”

Well, Loki is strange.

I don’t think I even care.

“Strange thing? Hey, Duke – even though I look like this, I’m still the lord of Urus?”

“So, are you going to punish me? If you are the god of Urus, you will be in Urus, but if you come to Phrygia and cause trouble, I will not leave you alone.”

“Ha! You? Or Ares?”

“No, I am.”

“!?”

Liz comes out again with Lunares Poena. Fortunately, he seemed to have calmed down more than before and was no longer crying, and when he came out with Lunares Poena, Fenrir blocked Loki’s path and growled… But-

“If you don’t want to be torn apart, don’t show up, you idiot.”

“…”

She is a woman of great spirit, even in front of my sister, who is a Shubnigurus.

And…

Fenrir tries to hold on to the intimidating feeling coming from Liz, but-

“That’s enough, Elizabeth Pantalone, or should I call you Athena?”

Athena,

It gives Liz her own powers, even destroying her own neo-core, and she names her only friend who prevented her from taking over Liz’s body.

Naturally, when Liz mentions it, she looks offended. I don’t even try to say that name, but it seems like she wants to brag about her superiority by saying that name to the God of Manifestations and offending her.

Of course-

Liz’s speaking skills are also impressive.

“Then I will call you [Ronnie Coleman].”

For your information, calling God by another name is truly the greatest insult of all.

It’s the same for us too.

Naturally, it reminds me of a bodybuilder with lots of muscles, and the beautiful woman from before suddenly changes into a bodybuilder with lots of muscles.

Did you really turn into Ronnie Coleman just because you called him that name?

Really?

“Fuck you! Who would say my name like that!?”

And then, Loki, who looks like a muscular giant, loses his temper. There’s no way he wouldn’t be angry when his identity has changed.

Of course, Liz picks and laughs.

“You broke up the dispute first, Rodur. Are you kidding me? But why, I’m the boss here. It’s a shame that I was only holding on to the Qanfs in the Eastern Margrave. If I were in the North, I would have killed all of you barbarians.”

“Ha! You are a barbarian. Your thoughts are extremely Phrygian-centric!”

“…Even if you look at it objectively, the place itself was pretty underdeveloped to begin with, right?”

“Fuck.”

No matter how bad it is, if you put a stick on it and beat it, it won’t be able to move.

And then she returns to her original appearance, a woman with brown hair and red eyes.

To put it bluntly, compared to the Gods of Olympus, which is located in Phrygia, which is famous for various artists such as Hephaestus, Æsir is inferior in many ways.

In the first place, Odin only valued his inner [Knowledge] And [Wisdom] Rather than what he could see, so that’s what happened.

Well, do humans know that?

“And it’s cold, so I keep trying to come down,Agamemnon, Menelaus, Those bastards probably jumped out immediately because they felt there was no hope for them here, but you better be prepared. “I will cut down your warriors mercilessly.”

“Even if you wanted to, it wouldn’t be easy. I’m Odin’s descendant and Odin’s swordSigurdIs.”

Of course, that doesn’t make Liz scared.

“Then I am Clark’s sword. It just worked out well. “Why don’t we just test whose sword is sharper?”

“…Crazy bitch, really like the crazy bitch who was the king of Zig.”

To be honest, it seems like Sigurd is strong, but I wonder what it would be like. Of course, that’s fine.

Liz seems to have gathered her energy now, somehow.

“Have you calmed down a little, Liz?”

“…Thanks. Thank you in so many ways.”

Rather than saying sorry, say thank you. Although there is still some moisture left around her eyes, she is a confident woman. Even though she is tired and tired, she gets up again and she is a woman who moves forward. My sister still looks like she doesn’t like it.

…

Well, at least for these two to get along, maybe it’s only possible when there’s an enemy in front of me?

Well, it’s fine anyway.

“Next time, please say I love you.”

“…Ugh-cheek-“

“What is this Halkas?”

Next to me, Rocky tackles me for what I said to Liz, and I criticize him for it. Of course, this damn god of words immediately grins, as if he knows all the languages ​​in the world.

“Cas? Just wait. Just a second. Ugh-?”

…

But, there is no particular impact.

“…Hey, don’t you feel ashamed when you see things like that?”

Really.

Only Riz, who was with me, seemed to know what I was talking about, and the rest of them looked like they were saying what bullshit this was.

“Why do you know, you crazy idiot!”

Well, shouldn’t you know that?

The essence of human evil itself.

“There shouldn’t be any damn knowledge in the world, but I shouldn’t know it either.”

“…This guy is crazier than I thought, really.”

That’s what I am.

That’s why you can ask questions from qualified people, such as wizards and those who seek knowledge, and give answers to those questions.

Odin?

Surprisingly, he qualifies.

That qualification means not giving up on research.

Whether you get eaten for it or not.

In my case, I collect to use when necessary, not to be eaten like Odin.

In that sense, knowing human malice is a really good teaching material.

Well, what can we say if we don’t say that this essence, created with only one purpose, to cause [Pain] To those who see it, is amazing?

I have various materials, and I can take them out and show them.

“There is a reverse version and a modified version of the previous version, which one do you want, Loki?”

“Get away from me, you crazy bastard! You’re not even a real human! If you know that, you’re a real bastard!!”

No, it’s not like I’ve tried something stupid once or twice.

Plus, he’s not a real human, so it’s not a big deal.

“Don’t worry, Grandmother and grandfather eraser receiving 500 per monthBecause they reside outside the world.”

“You crazy bastard, stop freaking out, you idiot.”

Samira, who was listening next to her and became the crystallization of new evil, stabs her in the side. Whatever it is,

Anyway, in this friendly(?) Atmosphere, Odyssey sees me.

Odyssey-

From the time I awakened until now.

A being who continues to be on guard against me.

What-

Regardless of whether it means losing face in many ways, survival is a priority…

It would be a shame if you didn’t pay attention to this too.

“Let me guess what you’re thinking? You’re trying to tie me up with Loki, right?”

“I haven’t thought anything yet-“

“Loki, and Thrud, Modi, Magni, and even [God-Eating Wolf].Olympus, which was half-detonated and barely being rebuilt, and Aesir, which was still alive and well. In its own way Dawn Bringer’s branchThey seem to be contacting us, but they have nothing to do with us, so it would be better to stop trying.”

His expression is calm.

However, eyes cannot lie.

The look in his eyes asks how he knew – but there’s no way he didn’t know.

That’s why star spawns are so important to those around me, and especially to me.Those who show antipathyBecause they watch your every move and report it to me.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Well, you’ll find out later. But… They are more self-indulgent than you thinkAm? You better be careful. “I guess I’m more of a gentleman.”

You’ll see for yourself how much of a bastard they are.

It’s too late to regret it then.

There is a reason why my father kicked me out.

“You’re such a gentleman, that’s ridiculous.”

Odyssey calls out to me contemptuously.

I definitely warned you.

I warned you what kind of crazy things they would do.

Is it human foolishness to not listen to warnings, or is it pride that does not want to be lost?

Is it both?

And then Hestia spits out a warning to Odyssey.

“…Odyssey.”

“Did you call me, Hestia?”

“This is my husband. Be careful what you say.”

“…Something like this-“

“I told you to be careful about what you say.”

“…”

Hestia scolds Odyssey.

However, as always, there is no great dignity in scolding me because I am a gentle god, but why is it that at least one of the gods of Olympus, especially Hestia, is so blatantly supporting me?

…

Well, I understand why.

Because I promised her.

In whatever form, he will definitely save Phrygia and its people.

She looks at me and nods her head, and she holds my hand tightly.

“…You are insulting the husband of the goddess Odyssey.”

Anything more would be blasphemy. She decided so, and pronounced it in front of everyone.

Liz also laughed and her father-in-law, and Leonidas, also tried to dissuade her.

“It’s an odyssey that ends there.”

“Dismissal-“

“…Lord Odyssey, anything more than that would be seriously disrespectful to Lord Clark.”

“They’re watching me now-“

“…You may be saying strange things, Odyssey, but even without that, it’s obvious what you’re going to do to tie me down. Last line“It looks like he’s keeping it to a certain extent, but it would be better to keep that line.”

“…”

Without saying another word, I just turn around and leave.

There is one person who needs to be wary of me, and the reason for keeping that person alive is to [Intemperate worship] She’s alive because someone has to put the brakes on her so she doesn’t do that.

If they start worshiping me, things will go wrong, so I have to keep my distance from them by trusting them but not worshiping them.

The Frisian masters are truly showing off the spicy taste of olives, which is infuriating to me.

…All that remains is for Remilia to awaken.

Since I myself hate this Phrygia, I am extremely embarrassed.

That’s why Ares was used as a [Test subject].

I don’t know if it will work out.

Anyway-

“By the way, Hestia, you keep holding my hand.”

“… Is it strange for a married couple to have a wife holding her husband’s hand?”

If it comes out like that again, I have nothing to say.

Anyway, it’s good.

It seems like Hestia has made up her mind this time.

“…Hey, Clark- can you give me some time…Just a second?”

Hestia requested time with me, but-

Before I could say anything, there was a finger covering my mouth.

“…?”

“Clarke, come back.”

Why? Before I could say that, I saw my older sister smiling and looking at Hestia and nodding her head.

…

Is it true that you liked your sister in many ways?

Of course, my father-in-law just has a confused expression and looks at Liz with a sad expression, but Liz does not give in.

Instead-

“Clarke.”

“I’m listening.”

“After finishing, can you tell me about the sword?”

“First of all, I’m a wizard.”

“Does it make sense for a wizard to take advantage of me with the first sword he catches?”

Well, more than that, it’s just because I learned and adapted quickly, and that’s why Gilgamesh criticizes the things I make now, saying they’re junk without any meaning.

Because it’s such a monster.

I just looked at her sword, copied it, analyzed it, took advantage of her weak points, and dealt with her appropriately.

“Well, if that helps.”

“Definitely helpful.Something…Something was caught.“

Is it.

But now, Hestia is holding on to me, as if asking me to stay with her, with a power that is not in her hands.

Unfortunately, [A new level] I’m curious about this, but let’s postpone it until later.

Plus, there’s Samira, there’s Christine…

Busy, busy.

The golden sun rises today as well.
