episode_0179

Dead gods, or more accurately, dying gods, were generally not worshipped by humans, and could not exert their power properly outside of their domain.

Taranis, who once held the title of god of punishment, eventually fell to the point where he was defeated by a second-tier knight.

The end of the god who lost his faith was not good.

But Oronak was different.

Her faith was kept alive through the bloodline of the Binghwa tribe.

It was clear that Taranis, who had lost her followers, was different, and if the Ice Flower Tribe succeeded in its revival, it would be worth considering her resurrection.

[I understand your question, Mr. Cyan.]

“Then?”

[But that is impossible.]

“Why?”

The ‘Burning Heart’ immediately began to transform into the shape of a dragon.

The Titan instinct within me burned hotly in an instant at the sight of Aurora sleeping in the lake and her presence that was different from mine.

[As you can see, there is nothing left of my body except my heart. Even if the divinity returns here, I cannot dream of resurrection.]

“Can’t it be recovered?”

[Can Mr. Cian save a human being with only one heart?]

“Surely… ”

This is such an obvious point that I am speechless.

Taranis certainly formed his body with lightning, but he didn’t have a proper body.

“How about moving your body?”

[If you are talking about my half that is outside, then unfortunately my half cannot contain my divinity.]

“I see… ”

[There is one way.]

Oronak suddenly began to travel to me, who was feeling sorry for losing his appetite.

[My child. Please stay a moment.]

“Yes?”

When a part of ‘Burning Ice’ appeared in front of her, Irina was at first taken aback, but soon became quiet and her mood changed.

Her blue eyes suddenly took on a brilliant silver color.

I couldn’t help but gape in amazement at the dreamy sight.

“What is this?”

“It’s a iceberg.”

Oronak, who had borrowed Irina’s body, spun around in place, and now started running in place.

What is it? You look so cheerful.

“God can possess those who wield his divinity.”

“So, does that mean you will be temporarily revived?”

“As I explained earlier, my child’s body is too weak to contain divinity.”

“Then isn’t that meaningless?”

“But the Titan’s body is different.”

“???”

For a moment I couldn’t understand what Oronak was saying, but soon my spine felt like it was going to burst.

“For the dead god, the Titans are a disaster, but at the same time, they are a golden opportunity for his own resurrection.”

“Does Oronak-nim want my body too?”

To my question, Oronak came to me with a smile on his face like Irina.

“It is impossible for me to possess your body before asking for what you want.”

“Why?”

“Your spirit is too strong for me to push away. No matter how much you allow me to possess you, I will be thrown away by your spirit.”

“Is that it?”

A soul that can even overcome the will of God?

I’m not that great of a person, but I felt like something was absurd.

I guess it would be correct to say that there is no sense of reality.

“That’s why I’m more worried.”

Oronak, who had borrowed Irina’s body, began to carefully touch my chest. Since he was doing this in Irina’s body, a strange atmosphere flowed.

“Because the soul is too weak compared to the spirit, Sian is unable to exert the power of a complete existence.”

“Yes?”

I was disturbed by Oronak’s sudden diagnosis.

Is it true that I haven’t been able to exert all my power until now, just like Allie said?

“Excuse me, Mr. Oronak, what on earth is the soul?”

“To put it simply, you can think of the soul as the link between the soul and the body. Even monsters without souls have souls. This is why monsters that have eaten humans are sometimes possessed by human souls.”

“Are you saying that I have a weak link?”

“It is relatively weak. That is how strong your soul is beyond the norm.”

I was happy with Oronak’s explanation, but at the same time I felt uneasy.

Isn’t this a case of three birds with one stone?

“The soul and spirit are one body when they are in one body. As time passes, the soul will fill in the missing spirit. So don’t worry. No matter how much of an outside god they are, they can’t mess with your soul.”

“…Did you know?”

Oronak smiled bitterly at my question.

“The more responsibilities you have, the more natural it is to fear external gods. So, there is no need to hurt your pride.”

It was a word from a god who once fought against an external god to protect the North, and that word was a great comfort to me.

“Thank you.

“Haha, I think I know why my child loves you, An-nim.”

Oronak’s voice was getting fainter and fainter, as if she was trying too hard to talk to me. Nevertheless, she gave me advice until the end.

[Please pay attention to your children.]

“Your children?”

[Unlike Mr. Cian, the newly born young titan cannot be considered to have a strong soul.]

Camilla had previously introduced me to the lingerie maker, Bayonne, for the safety of my children.

At first, I was taken aback by the idea of underwear, but now that I think about it, I realize how important her skill in hiding the scent of divinity is to my children.

[And the reason the Titans were destroyed in the past was because they fought among themselves. If they thought of each other as prey, they would not be able to feel love for their family.]

I remembered the anecdote about the Titans that I had heard from Helen, and took Oronak’s words to heart.

“I am confident that I can love you more than anyone else.”

[Haha, it seems I worried for nothing.]

Oronak laughed and disappeared. The ‘Burning Ice’ that had been burning strongly began to gradually lose its flames.

‘Are you trying too hard because of me?’

She didn’t show it, but as a human, she was a seriously ill patient who could die at any time.

She must have had a hard time too, but she still worried about me.

‘I can’t remain in debt.’

After moving the unconscious Irina to a safe place, I thought of the divine power that the Troll King had shown me.

‘Grog did it like this.’

The processing of the divine.

At first, it was something I didn’t even know what to do.

In the first place, if you process the divinity that can be considered the will of God, it seems like it is the will of God.

‘It’s like a filter that filters out the divinity.’

But if you think about it the other way around, wouldn’t it be possible to process my will and make it into God’s will?

‘Filter out Taranis’s divine nature!’

The price of filtering was harsh.

Lightning rained down from within my body as if the wrath of Taranis, inherent in the divine nature, was judging me.

‘It hurts quite a bit.’

Even though I was experiencing unbearable pain, the mass of pure divinity I had gathered looked like a small sun.

‘Here it is changed to the divinity of Oronak.’

I didn’t know enough about her to know what she was thinking.

I didn’t know much about her doctrines or what myths she had handed down.

However, I had her protection.

‘If we take this as a sample!’

Let’s focus on Oronak’s protection.

The mass of pure divinity began to turn cold inside me.

It’s like the bitter cold that has been tormenting humanity.

‘I feel nostalgic for my past life here.’

The closer I got to Oronak’s divinity, the more my body hardened, from my fingers all the way to my heart.

It was a difficult sensation for a living being to adapt to, but my soul began to rejoice.

As if suffering were my true nature.

“Maybe it was fate that I married Chloe.”

Oronak, the goddess of cold and resistance.

Thanks to the grandchildren she protected, I am able to have the family I have today.

“Mr. Oronak! I will pay you back with interest!”

Although I didn’t make as much as I had hoped, it will be a valuable gift to her as it was worth the effort.

Kwaaang!

A brilliant silver light exploded across the northern region.

…

“Titan?”

Xi’an had many titles.

The first Hestia warrior.

The work of the Holy Kingdom.

And the final titan.

They were all extraordinary titles, but among them, the name Titan had the strongest power.

Even the warriors of Hestia and the dukes of the Holy Kingdom were useless before the name Titan.

The blood of a god.

That is why the Pope and the Apostles followed him, and why the Emperor was obsessed with him.

Of course, Duke Starr, one of the four lords, also knew the weight of the name Titan.

‘Why would he protect the North?’

Duke Estar pressed his temples after hearing the report from Sir Dante.

Still, a headache that wouldn’t go away tormented her.

I wanted to argue with Si-an, but it wasn’t easy because the people who were watching over him were all out of the norm.

‘Perhaps the ‘Burning Ice’ is what he is trying to take over the North with.’

Titans are a race of food gods. Basically, in order to become stronger, they must periodically consume divine substances.

Duke Starr, recalling the information about Titan, quickly thought about it.

Because what Si-an wants and what you want are different, if you do it well, a compromise can be reached.

‘That doesn’t matter. In the first place, the new water isn’t something we can be different from.’

The reason why Duke Starr, the Northern Grand Duke, wanted to rule over the northern tribesmen was because of the vision technology passed down from the northern tribesmen.

Duke Starr, who was aiming for the clan’s secret garden, calmly thought about how to make a deal with Sian.

‘I heard he likes women.’

The hero is filled with lust.

It was a prejudice that continental people had in general.

Of course, it was true that Si-an was a lecher.

‘Why not build a family bond with Titan this time?’

As Duke Starr was thinking about each of the beauties in his clan, one by one, a subordinate suddenly ran up to him.

“Oh, this is a big deal!”

“What’s going on?”

“A huge explosion occurred in the north!”

suddenly?
