The Mythical Hunter has Returned - Chapter 172

Episode 172

Zeus saw Kim Do-jin standing with Set and Loki.

The man who killed his own sons.

A human being who dares to challenge the authority of God.

And because of that one human, the gods were now divided and were pointing their swords at each other.

The kingdom he had created, which seemed unbreakable, was now in danger of being destroyed by a single human being.

The authority of the gods had collapsed, and the gods, who were supposed to appear unchanging and solid, were unable to trust each other like humans.

At a time when we should be moving forward for a greater cause, everything was being ruined because of Kim Do-jin.

“You damn thing… When I found out you killed Hephaestus, I had to end you somehow.”

authority.

God saved Kim Do-jin to maintain his authority not to kill humans at will.

The shackles of faith, which were maintained loosely, prevented Kim Do-jin from killing himself.

Ironically, this incident made Zeus even more convinced that the gods should break free from religion and become perfect beings.

“I will kill you and restore all the distortions that have occurred up until now to normal.”

“That’s what I want to say.”

The corner of Kim Do-jin’s mouth twisted as he stood across from him.

“It is time to end this tragedy caused by your greed.”

Mana rippled at the tip of Kim Do-jin’s sword.

A clear murderous intent aimed at oneself.

Zeus spoke to Odin, who was on the front lines with him.

“If you can kill him, kill him, but don’t overdo it.”

“Don’t order me around. I know better than you.”

“Even in this situation….”

Zeus looked at Odin standing next to him.

His eyes were looking at the Valkyries standing next to Kim Do-jin.

The leader of the Valkyries, whom Odin had once cursed with eternal sleep, awoke and stood before him in his ornate armor.

Did he lose his composure when the being he had punished appeared before his eyes again?

Who would go crazy because of Prometheus?

“Focus. Don’t worry about Valkyrie or anything.”

“…I get it.”

The two gods took up their weapons.

Meanwhile, Kim Do-jin’s eyes quickly scanned his surroundings.

“I don’t see Lee Hyeon. Did he go somewhere else?”

He quickly looked away, perhaps because it wasn’t a question he wanted an answer to.

“Yeah. You guys were what I wanted in the first place.”

“You’re so arrogant. Arrogant to the end. You killed a few gods and everything went your way, so now everything seems like your world?”

“Isn’t that right? Now you are the only ones left.”

“Do not make fun of the Lord. The sun god Ra, whom you killed, was greatly weakened.”

“I know. That’s why I came here prepared so much. I didn’t go into the Pantheon like some people do.”

Kim Do-jin swung his sword.

Zeus felt it.

This is not something you can accept.

The moment you counterattack, you will be pushed back in a power struggle.

I could feel it instinctively.

But who is he?

Zeus was the pride of the gods and the absolute ruler of the Greek gods.

‘So I’m afraid of human swords?’

It was ridiculous.

Zeus ignored his instincts and struck the sword.

and.

Kagagak!

Two forces collided, creating a huge wave of vibration.

“Khuuuk!”

The shock wave spread throughout my body.

Zeus opened his eyes without realizing it.

A power that was hard to believe was human washed over his body.

“Coolook!”

He vomited blood.

I felt like my insides were turning into a mess.

Then, as if in a fit of rage, he struck down lightning.

Krrrr!

however.

Kim Do-jin blocked the lightning by lifting his hammer.

‘Mjolnir!’

Mjolnir literally ate lightning.

The God Slayer gained power by killing Thor, and was as skilled as Zeus in controlling lightning.

“Crunch!”

But when I realized it later, it was already too late.

Kim Do-jin easily destroyed the attack that was quite powerful even for Zeus, and induced Zeus’s opening.

Kim Do-jin did not miss that moment.

‘shit.’

Dojin’s new sword, nameless, has come up to his chin.

If Odin’s spear Gungnir had not blocked the blow, Zeus’ face would have been left with a long, indelible scar.

“Wake up.”

Zeus nodded at Odin’s calm words.

“sorry.”

But when they fought, it turned out that Kim Do-jin wasn’t the only problem.

The two gods standing next to Kim Do-jin.

Loki and Set.

Those were also exerting power close to that of the Lord.

In a situation where they were outnumbered, the presence of two people who were on par with Jushin was creating a difficult situation in many ways.

“Whoa-!”

Throw lightning.

This time, what I was aiming for was not Dojin, but Set.

Boom!

The attack hit. It won’t end in one hit, but the damage won’t be small.

The decision to reduce the number of weak ones one by one was the right decision.

But there is a price to pay for looking elsewhere when facing the enemy.

“It’s so presumptuous to look the other way during a battle.”

It was too big.

Kim Do-jin’s name cut off Zeus’ left arm.

It was a blow that could not even be resisted.

“Cough!”

The attack was so fast and sharp at the same time.

The severed arm flew into the air.

Normally, he would have surrounded himself with lightning to protect himself, but he was so focused on attacking the set that he didn’t have the energy to do so.

“Kwaaaaak!”

It was the first time I felt pain.

Although he had faced countless enemies so far, losing an arm was something that Zeus could never do.

The shock was even greater for Zeus, who had never been injured like this before.

“Ugh, ugh! Kkwaak! How dare you, how dare you, a human!”

A rebuke filled with anger.

It was a cry that squeezed out the last of his pride, unwilling to acknowledge the human who had hurt his body.

Zeus, who was angry at this, glared at Kim Do-jin and the set next to him with bloodshot eyes.

“You keep making me mad all the time.”

Zeus’ spear, filled with rage, plunges into Set.

Phagec!

“Kwaaak!”

Set also put up a shield, but even his power was not enough to completely block Zeus’ lightning.

That meant that his compatibility with Dojin was the worst.

An opponent against whom one’s greatest weapon is ineffective.

This was Zeus’ first encounter with an opponent like this.

Thor?

There was absolutely no need to fight with him.

From the beginning, the goal was the same and the ideals pursued were the same.

That’s why I didn’t know.

That Thor’s powers were the worst match for him.

“Odin! You take care of Kim Do-jin!”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t afford that.”

Odin was struggling under the combined attacks of Loki and the Valkyries.

Loki also had god-level power, and with the Valkyrie knowing Odin’s tactics, they could not be separated.

“Damn it! When on earth is Lee Hyeon going to come back! Shouldn’t he be bringing news of victory at this point!”

“We have to be faithful to our roles. Since Lee Hyun has decided to follow in the footsteps of the other gods, we just have to do our part.”

“It’s unbelievable that they are this strong!”

Zeus rebuked Lee Hyeon, still furious at the lack of news.

Lee Hyun said that while the two gods held off the enemy’s main force, he would intercept the other gods, including Athena and Hades.

But why is there still no news?

Zeus began to get anxious.

But that doesn’t mean we can back down.

“Yeah. If lightning doesn’t work, we’ll have to find another way.”

Zeus’ body began to grow larger and larger.

Yeah, yeah!

The transformation into a giant god that occurs when the power of a god is brought to its limit.

Even among the gods, there were only a few who could draw out their potential to the extreme.

This is something that only a select few among the Lords can do to condense their faith to its extreme.

Zeus was about to play the trump card that he would pull out at the end of the ordeal on the arrogant human.

If you don’t do this, you’ll lose.

Zeus’s severed arm began to disappear, while at the same time a new arm grew from his shoulder that had been severed.

Transcending the limitations of the body.

That was the power of the giant myth.

-You’re the first one to push me this far. I commend you for that.

But that’s it.

Since he is prepared to take out all the cards he has hidden, Dojin, a human, will never win.

Zeus looked down at Dojin.

To see Dojin trembling in fear at his own majesty.

But he was smiling.

You didn’t see things wrong.

The corners of Kim Do-jin’s mouth were clearly raised.

-You dare laugh?

“No, it’s because you move just as I want.”

Kim Do-jin smiled and adjusted his grip on his sword.

“Thank you. For showing me your true self.”

-You’re so cocky. Until the very end.

“You’ll soon learn that if you have a reason, it’s not arrogance.”

When Kim Do-jin swung Mjolnir, lightning struck and the bastard’s body glowed for a moment.

-You’re using all of Thor’s power.

That alone wasn’t enough.

But why are you so confident?

What is the anxiety that makes Zeus’ heart pound?

The true nature of that anxiety was soon revealed.

Zeus stamped his foot, and the ground shook with such force that it turned the whole world upside down.

An earthquake reminiscent of a massive natural disaster.

“Kwaaaaak!”

Those who were swept away by that power were thrown back, unable to withstand even the gods.

It was just a storm that hit the ground hard.

Those who were nearby were unable to overcome the force and flew away, one of them broken.

It made no distinction between friend and foe.

Even the apostles and gods on Zeus’ side who participated in the war were swept away by the power.

Zeus, blinded by his anger towards Kim Do-jin, saw neither friend nor foe.

But even in that torrent, Kim Do-jin remained unharmed.

-What…?

Kim Do-jin rushed at Zeus without taking any damage.

-How on earth did you do it?

He couldn’t understand.

Kim Do-jin, who is still running like this.

Anonymity shone.

Phew!

Kim Do-jin’s sword pierced Zeus’s stomach.

-Cough!

“How is it?”

-This son of a bitch!!!

Zeus glared at Kim Do-jin with bloodshot eyes.

* * *

Deification of Zeus.

This was Zeus’ ultimate skill that I had seen several times in my past life.

Among the gods, only Zeus, Odin, and Loki could use this level of power.

The power to maximize and at the same time embody the power of faith that believes in and idolizes oneself.

Therefore, the more believers there were, the greater the condensing power became, and the larger the size of the giant god became.

During the second advent, Zeus appeared before the people with his power and gathered an overwhelming number of believers.

Because I single-handedly drove away the Abyss monsters that were close to the legion.

So I knew it well.

What strengths and weaknesses does that power have?

But it has overwhelming power.

‘The fatal flaw is that it becomes too large and slows down.’

In fact, from Zeus’ point of view, it could not be seen as a disadvantage.

Yeah, that’s right.

Because no one can stop that massive behemoth just because he slows down a little.

Even if you avoid it.

Kuung!

Paaaaang!

The aftershock alone was so powerful that even gods couldn’t withstand it.

But what if you’re strong enough to withstand the aftermath?

What if you’re fast enough to avoid getting hit by attacks?

-This fucking bastard!

Never get caught.

“You seem very angry?”

-I’ll kill you!

Zeus took up the lightning.

I’m sure you know that lightning doesn’t travel through me.

‘The target is not me.’

He was targeting the people on the battlefield, not me.

‘… No, it’s not that they’re not after me.’

Because I’m the only one who can stop that lightning.

You gave me an easy choice of death.

Either I live alone or I take all that power.

‘I knew this would happen.’

I tried to suppress my laughter.

‘Thank you for doing what I want.’

I lifted Mjolnir and flew at the moment when the bastard struck with lightning.
