The second fight with Grog, the Troll King, was honestly chilling.

His ability to manipulate divinity aside, his sorcery that he used appropriately in battle was quite tricky.

Even the magic that suddenly attacked me was not understood in terms of its principle.

‘Fortunately, the sacred processing was stolen.’

I have somewhat grasped the principles of divine processing.

However, just as learning mathematical formulas doesn’t make it easy to solve math problems, it can’t be used right away.

In the first place, the divinity he dealt with and the divinity I dealt with were different, so it was still premature to apply it 100%.

“This sword is pretty good too.”

This was not all that I gained from this battle.

A famous sword made of ice.

A black sword more mythical than the Lobera from which Mithril was made was enough to steal my heart.

“I think it smells like Oronak for some reason.”

“Cyan, you’re a pervert.”

Allie slapped me as I sniffed the black smoke.

“Checking out the loot is good, but look over there.”

Allie pointed behind the throne where Grog was sitting.

“Appeared right after the Troll King disappeared.”

“A hidden room? What kind of race are trolls?”

“This is definitely a blow to my pride. The Holy Kingdom is a great country, but it doesn’t seem to compare to the troll civilization.”

“If you learn witchcraft here, wouldn’t it be different?”

“I wish it were so.”

The hidden room, unlike the other rooms, had no traps, and instead, had murals lined up that I had never seen before.

“Ally, do you know what this is?”

“Hmm… I think it contains the history of trolls.”

“The content that was cursed by an external god?”

“Yeah. That’s what it looks like.”

Ally studied the mural for a while.

“Did you find out anything?”

“Hmm… I can’t judge it hastily, but it looks like trolls came from another planet.”

“Another planet?”

Why is the scale suddenly so big?

“No matter how great the magic is, isn’t it too much over-technology?”

“It seems that it is not the natural power of the troll race, but rather that they received help from the gods.”

“Is that Oronak?”

“I don’t know.”

There were many difficulties in the explanation, as even Allie, who had lived for hundreds of years, did not know.

“It seems that the reason they abandoned their home planet and came here was to escape from the outside god.”

The mural contained hideous drawings of things, and their names were carved one by one, as if cursing them.

‘The one who walks the lowest ground’

‘Six Pillars’

‘The month that rapes its mother’

‘The Watching Galaxy’

‘The first and the last being’

“The god who cursed the trolls seems to be ‘the one who walks the lowest ground’ and ‘the moon that rapes mothers’.”

“That’s terrible.”

The mural depicts in detail the curses that the trolls have been subjected to, as if they wanted the viewer to understand their resentment.

“Trolls whose time in the spirit world has stopped have lost their reason, and trolls who have lost their reproductive function can only reproduce asexually, so the species itself has ultimately degenerated.”

“Is this what happens when you get hit by an outsider?”

To be honest, it was an incredibly unpleasant fact.

No matter how much I looked after my family’s safety, there was no answer if I was targeted by a universal being that transcended natural disasters.

‘Helen is said to be a beast without a soul to the outside world, but if you look at what she did to the troll, that may not necessarily be the case.’

Now I finally understand the Emperor’s mind to some extent.

Just as the empire could be destroyed the moment the sleeping monster awakens, so could I, the Titan, and my children be branded by the Outer God like a troll and suffer a terrible curse.

I was so angry at the fact that I could do nothing about the possibility.

“Si-an, I’m saying this because you’re also a reincarnated person.”

Allie, who was looking at the mural, suddenly started making strange noises.

“Could it be that the asteroid that hit the Earth was also the work of an outside god?”

“…What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Just because I thought so. As you know, the data released by NASA says that the asteroid impact rate is close to 0%.”

“That’s right.”

“But isn’t it strange that the orbit changed for no reason?”

I frowned at the topic, which I didn’t particularly like. Is it really necessary to dwell on a life that has already passed?

“Allie, that’s a pointless question. Even if you say that the destruction of humanity is the work of an outside god, there’s nothing we can do about it in the current situation.”

“That’s true, but…”

“What’s important now is the troll’s skills. Let’s start by investigating that.”

Is it because Allie is saying weird things for no reason?

I tried to stay calm, but my anger didn’t subside easily.

‘Sian, think about your current family. The past is the past.’

He tried to suppress his emotions by thinking of the women he loved and his only daughter, Ciel, but even so, an unpleasant feeling dug into his heart and began to bring out something deeply embedded in his chest.

Heart pounding

“Ugh!”

“Are you okay?”

The pain suddenly came on. I don’t know why.

I just felt like something was stirring inside me, squeezing me.

“It’s okay. It’s just an arrhythmia… ”

“Cyan? Cyan!”

“This happens a lot these days… I’m going to take a break.”

Soon my consciousness began to fade.

“Are you up?”

When I opened my eyes, I was lying on Allie’s lap with my pillow.

“You don’t have to do this.”

“Don’t reject us.”

“What’s between us?”

“We share the same pain.”

“Don’t try to lump them together as reincarnated people.”

Allie answered my question with a snicker.

“You speak well.”

“…Have other reincarnated people had something like this happen to them?”

“Yeah, me, the hostess, and everyone else fainted every time we recalled our past lives.”

“That’s really interesting.”

“There’s nothing I can do, I guess no one has good memories.”

After that, Allie, who had been silent, caressed my forehead.

Looking at this, she definitely looks like a nymph. Ah, this guy was a nymph.

“I don’t know what you think, Xi’an, but I want to find out what happened in my past life.”

“What, revenge or something?”

“That’s not it. If it really was the work of an outside god, what can I do? However, if there is a reason for the destruction, I just want to know.”

“That’s amazing.”

Most people try to forget the past.

If it’s something terrible, I’ll try to ignore it even more.

But Allie didn’t do that. I guess that’s proof that she’s strong.

“Respect. Seriously.”

“Thank you.”

Perhaps touched by her honest conversation, I ended up saying something I normally wouldn’t say.

No, maybe on one hand I wanted to tell this story.

“Ally, have you ever done that?”

“What kind?”

“It’s like feeling like your past life self is a stranger.”

Allie, who was usually playful, answered my serious question seriously this time.

“Why is that?”

“Well… I guess I did things I wouldn’t have done in my previous life, or I became mentally weak.”

“I don’t know. There has never been a case like that among the reincarnated people I’ve met.”

“Really? Am I the only one who finds this weird?”

“Maybe it’s because I was reincarnated as a Titan. I also suffered a lot when I was born as a nymph.”

“Do nymphs have disadvantages too?”

“It’s hard to say that it’s a disadvantage.”

Allie, who had been scratching her cheek as if embarrassed by my question, began to slur her words.

“Do you want to love first?”

“Love?”

“Well, there are times when the desire to love others and make them happy is unbearable. I think it’s because the nymph’s body was made with Hestia’s divinity.”

“That’s amazing.”

Perhaps embarrassed to talk only about herself, Allie slyly changed the subject.

“If you’re awake, stop it and get up now! How long are you going to sit on my thigh?”

“Can’t you stay a little longer? Your skin feels so soft and nice.”

“No!”

“That’s too much.”

I forced myself to get up even though my head hurt because of Ellie who was suddenly angry.

. . .

“I’m going to Asgard now.”

“Take care.”

“Don’t worry, you’ll be moving by magic anyway.”

“You’re talking about magic. Don’t get naked like you did to me.”

“Yeah, I won’t.”

After doing some research, Allie returned to the Holy Kingdom.

According to him, they are planning to send an excavation team to dig up the mountain as soon as the road is completed.

There were many magical powers buried in Seolsan Mountain, and if even one of them could be utilized, even the scientifically advanced Holy Kingdom could advance to the next level.

A weapon of the Holy Kingdom armed with sorcery? This will surely create a monster that even I cannot guarantee victory over.

“This is now my land too.”

I was left alone to raise my family’s flag on the troll castle. I don’t know if it really meant anything, but it was better than nothing.

“Then, now… ”

According to the words of Chang-Gwi who came down from the north, an ice dragon has appeared in the north.

It was a situation where it was unclear whether they were enemies or allies, but it was a story that could not be overlooked as it was Sylvia and Vivian’s hometown and where Irina lived.

“Now is the time to make the North my land.”

It was okay, although it was annoying to Duke Starr, one of the lords of the North.

She had already been stamped on the Holy Kingdom once, so she couldn’t run wild easily, and I could easily take down a duke-level force by myself.
