Episode 147

In the Abyss of Despair, monsters swarmed endlessly.

Like a pack of hyenas smelling blood, the monsters located our location and continued to attack.

When you defeat the monsters that are rushing in, new ones will come after hearing the sound.

One fight led to another fight, and that fight led to another fight.

Jang Man-cheol blocked their advance, while Lee Su-yeon and Fenrir defeated the monsters behind him.

Sekhmet and I broke up the horde by swarming the monsters that were trying to turn around and come in.

Kuuung!

Jormungand’s massive body prevented the monsters from daring to attack us from behind.

After eliminating a group of monsters that had rushed in, I had to move without resting to avoid additional battles.

“Let’s get moving. Another group will be here soon.”

I encouraged the tired party members.

The party members who had been forced to stand up hurriedly left the place, and soon after, another sound was heard from behind.

Wow!

It was the sound of monsters rushing towards where we were, eating the corpses of monsters that were strewn about in a mess.

They were eating the monsters we killed, and when there were no more corpses to eat, they left without any hesitation.

“Since they eat all the corpses like that, no matter how much they fight, not a single corpse will be left on the ground.”

Sekhmet stuck out her tongue as if she was tired.

“That’s strange. They disband right away because there are no enemies. What on earth is the reasoning behind this?”

Sekhmet clicked her tongue as she saw the monsters dispersing in an instant.

“Dojin, do you know why?”

I shook my head.

“I don’t know. They just want to fight endlessly.”

“Then why don’t they fight among themselves? If they like fighting so much, why don’t they just fight among themselves?”

I shrugged my shoulders at her question.

“Perhaps this is the policy set by the gods here to prevent mutual destruction.”

“You’re saying it won’t collapse because of internal strife?”

“That’s right. Those guys probably have their own thoughts. They don’t want to fight amongst themselves and end up collapsing without doing anything.”

“That’s right.”

Sekhmet, who was watching the scattering monsters, asked me.

“But is there really a way to conquer it? It’s the Abyss that not only Thor but even the gods couldn’t conquer. Even with a large army.”

Doubt and anxiety.

Although she was a strong god, she seemed a little tired of the endless onslaught of monsters that never tire.

The notoriety of having even given up on God must be making her hesitate.

“It was a mistake to bring so many troops.”

“what?”

“You saw it before. Fighting is completely avoidable.”

“… … .”

Her eyes looked at the field that had just been filled with monsters.

The monsters that had eaten all the bones of other monsters left without any regrets, as they had nothing left to fight for.

It means that there are ways to avoid fights, except for the inevitable ones.

“Because there were so many of them, they were easily captured by monsters, and that led to continued fighting… Is that what you mean?”

“that’s right.”

“That makes sense.”

She nodded and looked at me.

“But, how come you know so much? I’ve always wondered. You act like you know everything. You’ve never even conquered this place.”

Sekhmet, who had been glaring at me, continued speaking.

“It was the same when you hunted gods. You were one step ahead of everyone else, as if you knew everything. What was your secret?”

“Thanks to my thorough preliminary investigation and my abilities.”

“… … .”

Sekhmet took a step back.

Because it’s not a lie.

“I forgot that you awakened without any divine blessing. You must have at least one unknown skill.”

She said as if she was convinced.

“Then shall we go? Those guys will soon be following our trail.”

“Okay. Move.”

The party continued to move forward.

That was when.

Woohoo.

A huge presence felt from afar.

I felt someone arrive at the entrance to the Abyss.

“You’ve arrived.”

“Is it Odin?”

“That will happen.”

Zeus would be blocked by Athena, Hades, and Set.

“There’s no way he came to the Abyss of Despair alone.”

“Then we should be grateful. All the monsters’ eyes will be focused on that.”

While the guys are distracting the monsters, we head deeper into the Abyss.

“Julia, where do you think we should go now?”

She was praying with her hands together when she pointed to a place.

“My intuition pointed me there. I felt a strong energy inside.”

“Like during the illusion?”

“yes.”

I looked where she was pointing.

‘Julia is watching properly.’

The place she was pointing to was a new area of ​​the Abyss of Despair.

A wide plain covered with red soil, as if forming a border.

The land was red as if soaked in blood.

The Plain of Blood, where those who conquered this place in their previous life confessed to having endured a hellish time.

That was the path leading to the fortress where the god of the Abyss of Despair resided.

“Okay. Now all that’s left is the most difficult path to our destination.”

“Is it difficult?”

“Yes. It’s been child’s play so far. If we cross that line, we’ll see monsters that are much stronger than the ones we have now.”

A shocked Lee Soo-yeon looked at the bloody plain with a blank expression.

“A stronger monster than the one I have now. How interesting.”

On the other hand, Jang Man-cheol smiled and patted his chest.

“Don’t worry, I’ll stop whatever comes out. Feel free to kill those guys!”

So we crossed another boundary and headed deeper into the Abyss.

* * *

“Why do you think that god-killer chose this place?”

Odin looked around at Tyr, Baldur, Heimdall, and Thor’s wife Sif who had followed him and asked.

“I don’t know. Isn’t it like he’s trying to kill himself?”

Odin shook his head at Heimdall’s words.

“You know very well that Heimdall is not that kind of person.”

The one who killed Thor chooses suicide?

That’s funny.

For some reason, the guy harbored hostility toward God.

When Odin heard the news of Thor’s death, he went to the Library of Knowledge and asked about Kim Do-jin’s journey so far.

His journey was also information, and if it is information, it must be in the library of knowledge.

It doesn’t matter if not all information is public.

Any clues about the guy would be appreciated.

With that in mind, I went to the library.

-The journey of the new killer Kim Do-jin cannot be shared.

Even the god Odin replied that it was impossible to easily view it.

-The only information about Kim Do-jin that can be provided to Odin is the name of the god he killed.

Even the god Odin does not know about his identity.

That means someone with the authority to give is intentionally hiding Kim Do-jin’s information.

If not, then Kim Do-jin himself hid his information.

If it’s the latter.

‘They say that Kim Do-jin also has the same level of authority as the Lord of the Library.’

There’s no way a mere human could do that.

‘No.’

Kim Do-jin has already killed Thor.

It is possible that he already possessed the authority of a true god.

Knowing that, Odin brought a significant amount of his power with him.

Four higher gods, including himself, and their apostles.

It was a force that could easily conquer any Abyss.

Of course, I couldn’t make any guarantees since I was headed to the Abyss of Despair.

“Could it be that you chose this place to hide yourself?”

Baldur, who had been listening quietly, said:

“To hide your body?”

“Yes. I think they thought we wouldn’t be able to come easily because there are many strong monsters in the Abyss. They might want to use us as leverage to conquer this place.”

“I want to conquer this Abyss….”

It was a fairly plausible hypothesis.

However, Baldur’s hypothesis did not remain in Odin’s mind for long.

Khoooo!

Monsters that felt the vibrations of Odin and his party crossing into the Abyss were rushing in.

“Let’s deal with those monsters first.”

Odin took out his spear after hearing the monster’s roar, signaling the start of a difficult attack.

“I wish Zeus had come with us… … .”

But that too will come soon.

He couldn’t imagine losing to another god.

A powerful blast of energy was emitted from Odin’s spear.

Cookies, cookies, cookies!

Annihilated a monster that was charging with energy in one blow.

There were still a lot of them.

“Clean up everything. Deal with them as quickly as possible and break through.”

Odin’s one eye glowed.

To catch the new killer inside me.

* * *

As soon as we entered the Plains of Blood, this is what we encountered.

– Eliminate intruders.

It was a three-meter tall giant golem made of iron.

The problem is that most physical or magical attacks are ineffective against the golem because of the magic circles densely written all over its body.

It was a very troublesome monster in many ways.

“Tsk.”

Moreover, the bigger problem was that while this guy was holding on tight, other monsters would swarm in.

“It’s really solid.”

Setmech gritted his teeth and shouted.

Woof woof!

Then monsters came rushing in from behind.

There are four-legged beast-like monsters called scavengers, female monsters called Ellis with sharp claws that can cut through even well-refined iron, and even undead with twisted flesh sewn together like rags.

A variety of monsters came rushing in while we were tied up by the golem.

“It’s terrible.”

“Sekhmet, take Fenrir and Jormungand and fight those monsters.”

“I get it.”

“Promise! Aim for the golem’s head together with me.”

“Head? Where?”

“There must be a core inside that head, the essential power that moves that thing. I’m going after that.”

“okay!”

Promise came, and ran forward.

And then he immediately struck the golem’s leg.

A room full of magical power.

Kwaaang!

The golem’s body swayed.

Jiiing!

A bright light emanated from the boy’s forehead, shooting out a powerful beam of light.

“I will stop it!”

Jang Man-cheol took up the shield.

I clearly told you not to overdo it… .

The guy twisted his shield slightly, distorting the trajectory of the beam being shot.

Cheeeeek!

The golem’s rays melted the poor floor.

“Haaap!”

Promise kicked the same part as if she had been waiting for it.

Kwaaang!

This time, the golem’s body swayed as if it had been hit much harder than the first time.

– Intruder resistance is increasing. Implement support protocol.

The forehead of the golem, which was on one knee, glowed red.

I didn’t care and aimed for the gap where the guy was low.

“Well done!”

I ran up and jumped straight towards the guy’s forehead.

The golem, which was about to shoot a ray of light at me again while glaring at me, was stopped by Promise and Jang Man-cheol.

Kwajik!

Lightning struck down with Mjolnir and shattered the head of the one with the core.

Kururung.

The massive body that lost its core collapsed.

“Okay.”

The level of the party is higher than I thought.

Even though we arrived at the Plains of Blood, we didn’t see any signs of being pushed.

Except that I was a bit tired from the endless swarm of monsters.

“It’s over here too.”

Sekhmet said as she cleared away the slain monsters.

“Let’s move quickly.”

“This way.”

Julia guided us, and soon we found a huge temple located in the plains.

No, it looked too hideous to be called a temple.

A huge building connected by huge piles of stones.

‘I finally found it.’

I’m talking about the temple where the true otherworldly god of the Abyss of Despair resides.
