episode_0084

Zeus walks towards me with an appearance that still contradicts my nervous state.

He slowly approached without anything on his upper body, let alone being armed.

The closer I got, the more my head climbed.

Zeus came right in front of me, squatted down, made eye level with me, and spoke.

-“Do I have to tell you why I came here?”

-“.. If you don’t tell me why you came here, I will cut you down.”

Zeus chuckled at me trying to swing at him right away.

A laugh as if you were watching a child play a joke.

It was humiliating, but in my dream I couldn’t move.

Zeus burst out laughing again and reached for his great sword.

A hand large enough to hold my entire body grabbed the great sword.

And after a while, blood flowed from Zeus’ hand holding the great sword.

When Zeus saw blood flowing from the hand holding the sword, he whistled and let go.

-“Of course.. they say humans are fun.”

-“.. Just answer what I ask!”

When he wiped the blood off his hands, the wounds on his hands were already healed.

Although the healing speed is at a level that is impossible according to common sense, it is not common sense since God already exists.

Zeus stood up and spoke with a smile as if he were looking at me like a child.

-“The reason I came here… That’s obvious, right? Have I ever come here for any other reason?”

-“.. Of course you are..”

Zeus took a slight step back, stretched his right arm to the side, and spread his hands wide.

Then the sparks surrounding his body began to gather in his hands.

-Stop it!

The sparks gathered into one sphere became longer, as if pulled by something, forming the shape of a spear.

Zeus said as he took his stance, holding the spear made of electricity with his hand.

-“I will punish the ‘God Slayer’ in the name of ‘Zeus’, the king of Olympus. There will be no objections to that..”

As the king of the gods.

Variables that should not exist in immortals.

-“I will pay you back for killing my son last time.”

As a father.

To avenge his son’s death.

However, Zeus’s face was filled with madness as if it were revenge for his son’s death.

It looks like Gwang So is just looking forward to this battle.

With Zeus’ words, the tip of my sword and the tip of Zeus’s spear turned towards each other.

And the moment the two clash.

“.. Ah..”

woke up from a dream

*

When I woke up from my dream, it was early morning before the sun even rose.

It was impossible to escape from the vine-like arms of Agnes and Bea, so I didn’t even try.

I just put my head on the soft pillow and looked at the ceiling, recalling the dream I had a while ago.

‘Zeus..’

You might not know it once, but you can tell that the dream is no longer just a dream due to the repetition of similar dreams.

It was too vivid to be a dream.

As if I had experienced it myself.

Meanwhile, this time, the content was a little different from before, when only demons were killed.

It was obviously Zeus.

I in the dream said that, and Zeus also said that he was Zeus.

And one other thing.

If I remember correctly, that place was definitely…

‘It’s the same as the place I died.’

Then there is a high possibility that I was killed by Zeus.

-‘I will pay you back for killing my son last time.’

And this is probably why it killed me.

There was similar information written in the book, but it did not say which god it was.

Well, that’s the way it is…

‘The expression…’

He expressed his intention to fight, citing his son’s death, but his expression was closer to joy.

Is it because I am human and the other person is God?

I don’t understand Zeus’ thoughts at all.

A father who is happy because he is looking forward to the current battle more than his son’s death.

By human standards, that would not be the level of a psychopath.

‘.. okay.. let’s not understand.’

There is no need to understand Zeus’s thoughts anyway.

Even if there was a re-battle with Zeus, it wouldn’t affect it.

But… I’m a bit curious about that.

How I Killed God

From what I have heard so far, I know that I can kill God.

My mana becomes a deification or a god slayer.

Leave all that behind.

‘Why do the gods hate humans…or do they not hate them?’

I just don’t know what they want from us, humans.

It’s a little late to think about this now, but it’s still important.

To borrow a phrase from the book, it seems like they think of humans as nothing more than playthings.

To the extent that when you are bored, you release your desires and throw them away again.

So, is obedience what the gods want from us?

or not..

Is it interest?

At that time, a familiar female voice passed through my head.

-“God was created by humans.”

I looked around in shock, but Bea and Agnes were still asleep.

No one else was visible.

-“.. Humans created God.. What does that mean?”

And the voice I heard next was.

It was none other than my voice.

I was silently listening to the conversation in my head.

-“I am truly surprised that humans created such a being.”

-“.. In the beginning, humans were weaker than other animals. Even if they form a group, it is difficult to survive.”

-“.. So.”

-“That’s why they created virtual beings. Since you didn’t fall asleep during history class, you know about animism, right?”

-“Are you talking about primitive religion..”

-“Yes. And that was the moment when God was born.”

…

Is it the end?

If it were now, I would have asked more questions.

The memories that came to mind were suddenly cut off.

‘God was created through human imagination… Why?’

Yes, let’s make a hundred concessions and say that it is true that God was created ‘as if’ through human imagination.

However, whether God really came into existence is a different story.

Anyone can create an imaginary being.

Whether it is a being that you have heard about somewhere else, or a being that you have truly created yourself.

However, for that entity to actually exist, an unknown external force is essential.

At this time, it is difficult to know the correct answer even if you spin your head as if it is exploding.

There is only one person who can give you the correct answer.

‘.. The voice just a moment ago was clearly Eros.’

I don’t know when we will meet again, but if you ask me when we meet again.

I guess we can expect some answers this time.

*

The goddess Eros sits cross-legged in the air and looks down on the world.

She was full of doubts about herself.

Shaking my crossed legs, I looked at the world with blank eyes.

I frowned because I couldn’t think of anything.

It’s always been like this lately.

She brought up the method she had been putting off.

“.. Light.”

“.. Why are you calling me? ”

A small light that was secretly hiding in the distance, looking at her.

Eros whispered as he looked at the small light that had suddenly settled in his hand.

“Who am I? And who are you..”

“.. What are you talking about all of a sudden.”

“Of the two of us.. who is the real one? Do you know?”

“What’s wrong? It’s not that I’m crazy… Of course I…”

The light that was trying to bounce back strongly began to hesitate a little.

Eros thought as he looked at the flickering light.

Berador, to be exact, Jeong Yong-ha’s family, was killed by him.

That’s how I ‘remember’ it.

I had no choice but to do that in order to save Jeong Yong-ha and avoid suffering the same death.

I feel sorry for him, but… I had no choice but to do that.

However, her thoughts and the records left in the world say something completely different.

He thought he would have disappeared since he brought Jeong Yong-ha with him.

There are still records of Jeong Yong-ha, who died right before his eyes.

I looked back at the records several times.

I rewinded my memory several times.

And every time, there was something strange.

“Do you remember from where to where?”

“Well, I remember everything from the time I was born until now. Don’t ask things that are too obvious.”

It was a sober tone, but it didn’t matter to Eros.

I’m just curious as to whether that light is the same as myself.

Eros spoke of a time when he felt strange.

“Then.. 10 years ago.. do you remember that time too?”

“Of course! 10 years ago… I met Berador for the second time.”

That time when I met Berador again, who had come to another world.

The memories of that time remained with me.

Is it possible to forget in the first place?

It was a great joy just to know that he wasn’t dead and that he was talking to me right before my eyes.

Even though.. the light in his eyes when he looked at himself was not pretty.

“..and.”

“And.. it gave me back many of the strengths I should have had in the first place..”

“Again.”

“Again.. Berador lost his mind.”

I was going through each thing one by one.

Finally, he reached where he wanted.

“.. Why?”

“That’s because I was seriously hurt…”

“You have the power of immortality.”

“.. But my body is cut in half..”

“That can’t explain it.. That’s a power equal to ours.”

“.. Huh..?”

The movement of the light that was shaking little by little stopped.

As if he was trying to think of something, just like himself, but couldn’t come up with anything.

“You… don’t remember anything after that?”

“…”

Silent affirmation.

Then there is only one answer.

At that moment when Berador lost consciousness, something else happened.

Something I didn’t know about happened 10 years ago.

…

If not that…

really.

It’s really a one-of-a-kind thing, but…

What happened at that time.

It might be a memory I erased on purpose.
