The Mythical Hunter has Returned - Chapter 155



Only Noblemtl

Episode 155

The sun god Ra was a god full of greed in his previous life and even now.

Many Egyptian gods were harmed by his greed to monopolize everything in the world.

Although he was portrayed as a fair and great sun god in mythology, the reality was different.

He demoted Horus, who was a god similar to himself, to the god of the sky, and made him a god who only had magic.

Is that all?

He not only divided the gods into those who followed him and those who did not, but also gave important positions and major tasks to the gods who followed him and rejected the gods who did not as much as possible.

The representative god was Set.

He made it so that he could never approach the Abyss, and excluded several gods who followed Set.

Naturally, the set moved away from the Abyss.

‘Even if I knew that Sett had no intention of conquering the Abyss from the beginning, would I have done it that way?’

If I had known it would grow this big, I would have tied it up in the Abyss.

A god who ruled over other gods through narrow-minded politics.

However, its power was the weakest among the three gods.

“Can we really go by ourselves?”

Julia, who was following me with the Bible in her hand, asked.

I was on my way to the Pantheon of Athena to go to New York with only Julia and Promise.

The plan was to teleport through Athena’s branch connected to the United States.

This was the quickest way to get to New York.

“With these three, we could even defeat the Sun God.”

“Have you thought about getting out after that?”

“Of course. I’ve even planned out how to escape.”

“… But isn’t that what you said? With just the three of us… .”

“The set will be included too.”

She clasped her hands together with her eyes closed.

“I have to trust you. Who else can I trust besides Brother Dojin?”

“Wasn’t there a god you believed in?”

“… It won’t work anymore. The god I serve has changed.”

She pointed to a circle drawn in the Bible.

When I became her apostle, no symbols were drawn on her Bible.

There is only a circle.

“Now that I’ve decided to trust Brother Dojin, I must trust and follow only you.”

“But don’t trust me too much.”

“Why is that?”

“I’m not perfect. I can make mistakes, and my failures can hurt you too, Julia.”

“Of course. You are human too, brother.”

“If Julia gets hurt because of me, who should I blame?”

Julia laughed as if she didn’t understand my question.

“Of course you should blame me.”

“… … .”

“It was my choice to trust Brother Dojin. If I was harmed because of it, it was my fault. It was no one else’s fault.”

It was a compassionate smile.

Isn’t this a smile worthy of being called a saint?

“Is that so?”

“Yes. I’m prepared for this as well. What I asked you, brother, was just….”

She paused for a moment, then looked at me and slowly opened her mouth.

“I want to hear your assurance. If you weren’t sure, I would have backed down.”

“Is that so?”

“You sound sad.”

“Haha, is that what you heard?”

Rather, it was the opposite.

Her belief that I can do it, rooted in the power of the Bible, will help me a little more.

“I have a question for you.”

“Go ahead.”

“Sister Suyeon, you didn’t bring her because you were afraid she might get hurt?”

At that question, I turned my head to look at her.

“Are you talking about Sooyeon?”

“Yes. His power would be of great help.”

I shook my head.

“It will help. If Sooyeon comes with me, I will definitely leave a record of this incident.”

“But why… .”

“Her abilities alone would not be able to withstand the flames of the sun god Ra.”

I remembered that the space of records of Isuyeon, who was using the temple inside the Abyss, was invaded by the god of struggle, Amut.

The space of records was her own space where she could take refuge and record, but it was not omnipotent.

The sun god Ra, who is a major deity, would be on par with or greater than Amut within his own pantheon.

It was not certain whether Lee Su-yeon would be able to withstand such a clash with the sun god with only the space of records.

“I think you value Sister Sooyeon more than I thought.”

“I cherish it.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

Julia’s eyes were crooked as she looked at me.

Is it just my imagination that makes me feel like I’m seeing so much more than I’m actually seeing with my eyes closed?

“… I don’t know about that.”

“Brother Dojin, you are not honest about your feelings.”

“Do you see it?”

“Yes. You seem to be very shy. From my immature eyes.”

I didn’t bother to answer.

Because I didn’t know much.

“Promise, once you enter the pantheon of the sun god, you must do everything in your power to protect Miss Julia.”

“Huh? Is that okay? Wasn’t I supposed to fight the sun god too?”

“We will fight, but we must prioritize protection.”

“Yeah, I got it!”

We arrived at the Pantheon of Athena while chatting about this and that.

“Everything is ready. Just move.”

Athena spoke to me immediately as if she had been waiting.

“You said three people would be enough, so I won’t be applying… Are you sure that’s okay?”

Athena asked me with a worried voice.

“That’s enough. If our main force is too weak, we’ll be vulnerable to a counterattack.”

“… Okay. Then I’ll wait. If Odin or my father attacks, I’ll let you know.”

“thank you.”

And the pantheon of Athena shook faintly.

The surrounding scenery changed in an instant, and soon the splendid view of New York City, USA, dazzled my eyes.

The door opened at the moment when the nighttime scenery of Seoul changed into the daytime of New York.

“Okay, I’ll be off.”

We headed to the pantheon of Ra, the sun god.

* * *

The sun god Ra was venting his wrath on his own pantheon.

I thought about it for a few days, but no matter how much I thought about it, my anger didn’t go away.

“That guy was promoted to the highest rank. Since when?”

It was a thought that plagued his mind.

Ra did whatever it took to solidify his position as the supreme god of Egypt.

It is basic to ignore the opinions of gods who oppose you.

In order to maintain discipline among the gods who dared to attack him, he handed down a strict punishment.

He implemented a policy of monotheism, which stated that each god should have only one name, and thus kept other Egyptian gods from gaining new power.

This made the power of the Egyptian gods relatively weaker, but it didn’t matter.

Because in proportion to their weakened power, the authority of the Lord God increased.

The god who most strongly opposed his choice was Set.

He argued that if things continue this way, we will all die, and that we must live a life coexisting with humans.

That’s funny.

The god who has promoted chaos more than anyone else in mythology has now come?

Hypocrisy should be kept to a certain degree.

They never came to their senses even though they were on the verge of extinction because those humans forgot about them.

It was too obvious a limitation to have to rely on someone to exist.

So, the idea is to transcend that.

‘I thought he was a guy who made stupid choices until the end.’

He banished his son from the Abyss for making the foolish choice of .

It deprived him of the most crucial opportunity to elevate his status and gain fame.

I thought I wouldn’t have to worry about it anymore.

I thought that there was a limit to what a guy who just sells coffee to people and does business could do.

But instead, he became the Lord.

-I think it would be better not to go this time.

He stood in defense of the man who killed his brother.

Osiris will soon return to his side after completing his reincarnation, but even so, he fights for the human who killed his brother.

It was an incredibly funny thing.

However, the power of the set that stopped him was not something that could be ignored.

I was surprised to hear that he was promoted to the rank of major.

In a situation where it seemed like both of them would have to be prepared to die in order to end the fight, he put away his sword.

Instead, he held out his hand.

If you take his side, he will give you full support and grant you various deities.

-Kill Kim Do-jin. Then we will allow you to return to our embrace.

And he supported several apostles and guild members to kill Kim Do-jin.

The set accepted the offer, though it was said, ‘I don’t know how long it will take.’

Aside from that.

“I feel dirty.”

It was upsetting that the guy he had ignored had suddenly become strong enough to threaten him.

The fact that the powers that were believed to be under their strict control had grown to an unmanageable size meant that more troublesome incidents like this could occur in the future.

‘We have to get rid of that set gnome.’

If Set kills Kim Do-jin and comes to his pantheon, he is ready to kill him at any time.

If he wasn’t stupid, he wouldn’t come looking for me.

Even if we kill Kim Do-jin, his body will be sent through the apostles.

The set will know itself well.

“Tsk.”

That was when.

“Oh, sun god.”

His apostle opened the door, came in, and knelt down.

“What’s going on?”

“Set is requesting to see the sun god.”

“A set?”

“Yes. He said he had something urgent to say.”

“Huh?”

That cunning jackal came all the way here?

Do you trust me to keep my promises?

He tilted his head and nodded to the apostle.

“Tell them to come in.”

“yes.”

Not long after the apostle left, Set came in.

The god of chaos, dressed in a black suit and with a jackal’s head, approached Ra with a polite bow.

“Did you handle the work well?”

“That’s what it is.”

“You really killed Kim Do-jin?”

“I didn’t kill him, I just came to deliver that human’s message.”

“… Should I take that to mean you have rejected my offer?”

“I think you can decide after reading the letter I brought you.”

Set threw the envelope he was holding in his hand.

It was an envelope filled with extraordinary power.

I instinctively grabbed the envelope and looked at the set.

“What are you planning?”

“Dojin said he had a message he wanted to convey to you.”

He opened the letter he had handed him, and inside was a short message.

– This is a tribute to the revered sun god Ra. I killed Osiris, your god of the underworld. Sadly, his reincarnation was completely cut off.

what?

Ra’s brow furrowed.

A white thread fell out of the envelope.

A thread with a power that is all too familiar.

I realized right away what this meant.

The eternal thread representing the reincarnation of Osiris.

The thread was broken in the middle.

As if I would never come back again.

“Set, is this real?”

“You said you would know right away if I told you this?”

“You knew it and came to me. To deceive me.”

“Are you really angry?”

“… … .”

I was aiming for a set called .

A set of corners of the mouth were twisted into a jackal’s face.

“I felt the same way. When I got kicked out by you.”

“… Set, you won’t die easily.”

The heat of the sun boiled through Ra’s body.
