Episode 182

Arrived in Niflheim with Fenrir and Jormungand.

-It’s still cold here.

Fenrir stuck out his tongue and licked the falling snow.

Jormungandr, who heard Fenrir’s words with a frown, stuck out his tongue and replied.

-You have so much hair, why are you complaining about the cold?

-Yeah. I’m not as big as some people.

-I’m fine too, but you’re being too harsh.

-…Your mouth is alive, but your body is shaking like that.

-See? Your eyes are nice too.

The two spirits were talking particularly talkatively today.

The guys must have felt it too.

Loki’s death.

That’s probably why I try to keep a bright expression on my face while talking.

It was not that I did not know the heart of those who lost their family.

So I listened to their conversation without saying anything.

As I entered Niflheim with the two spirits, Hel greeted me as if it had been waiting for me.

Hel, accompanied by her maid Ganglot and her knight Modgud, came out to meet me at the passage leading to Niflheim and Midgard.

“Are you here?”

“Long time no see. How have you been?”

“Yes, thanks to you.”

She looked at me and smiled, with one side looking like a beauty and the other like a monster.

The sight was beautiful yet hideous.

As if to reveal the duality of life and death.

“It’s been a while, brothers.”

-You seem to be doing well. Your expression is bright.

-Nice to meet you. Hell.

Hell smiled faintly.

Her eyes turned back to me.

“You seem to know why I came.”

“I know. I felt it too.”

She saw Fenrir and Jormungand.

She also felt the death of her father, Loki, the god of mischief.

“How did you get back?”

I was momentarily silent at her casual question.

Even Hel, who is in charge of the underworld in Norse mythology, said she did not see Loki’s soul.

That meant Loki’s complete annihilation.

“Calmly. He understood his own death and met his end in a godly manner.”

“okay.”

Hel smiled bitterly after hearing my answer.

“Still, that’s fortunate. I’m glad you met a god-like end…”

After finishing speaking, Hel closed his eyes for a moment.

It was her own expression of condolences.

“Didn’t your brothers also not be with your father during his last moments?”

-Yes. The wounds from the battle were deep. I was on the verge of life and death.

-That guy named Lee Hyeon was strong. He got hit in one go.

“okay.”

The mood quietened down for a moment.

“What should I do?”

Hell asked me.

Her eyes briefly glanced at the Mjolnir hanging from my waist.

“If it’s something that fits Mjolnir, I’d like to decline.”

It was a joke intended to lighten the mood.

“There’s no need for that. There’s only one person who can be hit by this Mjolnir.”

Now all the others have fallen.

There is only one person left.

There was only one believer.

Of course, there are still a few Abysses and otherworldly gods that haven’t been closed yet, but if we defeat Lee Hyeon, we’ll be able to deal with them easily.

“Really? That’s good.”

He taught the smiling Hel how to become a servant horse.

“The method is simple. Just declare that you will become my servant and sign a contract.”

“Is that really okay?”

“Okay. That’s it.”

It was a simple method, but the aftermath of this contract was anything but simple.

[Set Effect: Ragnarok (EX) – Hell (Unacquired)]

[??? – Conditions have not been met yet.]

The only book of Hell’s history that I have not acquired.

If I can get her history book, I’ll be all set.

“If I sign the contract, won’t I lose control of this land?”

I shook my head.

“That has nothing to do with it. You are not a god. You will pass on without losing your power.”

“I understand. I will become your servant, Dojin.”

I held out both hands.

“Catch it.”

Hel, who was about to grab my two hands, paused for a moment.

The opposite side of the body, not in human form.

Her hands, distorted like those of the devil, could not bring themselves to hold mine.

I held that hell’s hand.

“Don’t hesitate. Appearances don’t matter.”

“yes.”

The moment I made the contract with the servant horse, a soft light flowed out from around me and Hel.

[Symbol of Hell]

[Hell belongs to Kim Do-jin.]

[When acquired, you can register the spirit in your Pokedex.]

[The third disaster of Ragnarok, Hel, the queen of the underworld, belongs to you.]

[As a reward, the skills of the ‘Witch of the Underworld’ will be engraved in the history book.]

[Witch of the Underworld – S-Class]

[You can see the soul of your opponent.]

[If the opponent is of low rank, you can control the soul to subdue the enemy.]

With the message that Hell has become a servant horse.

[Set Effect: You have achieved the conditions for Ragnarok (EX).]

[Set Effect: Ragnarok (EX) – Odin, Loki, Thor, Jormungand, Fenrir, Hel, Heimdall, Tyr.]

[Description: Ragnarok, can call for the end.]

[Effect: End – Puts the designated opponent in the End state.]

[End: A state where everything is on the verge of crumbling and disappearing, with all abilities drastically reduced.]

[There is no restriction on the target.]

Bringing the opponent to a state close to the end.

The words “there are no restrictions on the target” caught my eye.

There was no mention of how much it would decrease.

But one thing was certain.

With this power, he will be able to restrain Lee Hyeon, who is trying to make himself into an other-worldly god.

I saw the newly acquired EX-grade set effect, Ragnarok.

As much as the hard work was done and as many people’s history books were needed, the ability was certain.

“Is it okay?”

Hel, who was checking my condition, asked me.

“Okay, it’s done.”

“It’s simpler than I thought.”

“Do you see it?”

“Yes. I was worried that there might be a complicated procedure.”

I smiled and shook my head.

She said it was easy, but there were so many processes she didn’t know about.

To be exact, there were many hardships that cannot be described in words before I got to this point.

I couldn’t bring myself to say that it was easy.

As if reading my expression, Hel said no more.

-So can I fight Lee Hyeon now?

“The minimum conditions are met.”

-I see.

Fenrir looked at me and asked.

-Then what should we do?

“I will deal with Lee Hyeon. So, the rest of you, deal with the Abyss monsters that will pour in with Lee Hyeon.”

-Is Lee Hyeon coming with the monsters?

I nodded.

It’s not going to be an easy fight.

As Hyun Lee’s power caused the Abyss to go berserk, powerful monsters will pour out of the Abyss.

“Maybe it’s not just the ominously glowing Abyss story right now.”

-… Are you saying that other Abysses in the world will also go out of control?

Jormungand asked again and again.

“It’s a possibility, but… it will probably happen.”

You must know that in your absence, the remaining forces of Zeus and Odin will be completely eliminated.

You must have gone in knowing that.

“The enemy will also attack us with all their might.”

-I see. That means it’ll be the toughest fight.

The three siblings kept their mouths shut.

“Then what happens to us after this fight ends? Will the Abyss still exist?”

This time, Hel, who had been listening silently, asked.

“It will probably disappear. But I don’t know what happens after that.”

It was a point that even I in my previous life could not reach.

Because in the end, he collapsed without being able to defeat Lee Hyeon.

After Lee Hyeon declared the end of the fight after conquering all of the Abyss, the Creator God possessed him and turned all humans into monsters.

“Then, Mr. Dojin, you also don’t know what we should do after the Abyss disappears.”

“Yes. I don’t know what will happen. I don’t know how gods and humans will coexist, how heroes and spirits will survive.”

Fenrir and Jormungandr laughed heartily at my words.

-Don’t worry. I’m going into the forest. I heard there’s a big forest in the Siberian plains to the north. Living in the city is not my style.

-I’ll go to the sea. I feel most comfortable living there.

“Don’t you plan on staying in Seoul?”

-It’s too narrow for me to live in.

-I agree. If there is no Abyss, there is no need to stand out to humans. We are not gods, after all.

I saw hell.

“I think I’ll stay here the same as before. I’ve even reached an agreement with Hades, the god of the underworld.”

“I see.”

The three siblings were planning more thoroughly than expected.

-Of course, that’s assuming you beat Lee Hyeon.

The eyes of the three spirits turned towards me.

-If you need help, just tell me anytime. I will do it even if it means death.

A hot fire burned in Fenrir’s eyes.

And it was the same for other spirits.

“I will do my best to stop the Abyss.”

“thanks.”

Having accomplished my goal of obtaining Ragnarok, I left Niflheim.

* * *

“… Is there any change yet?”

“Yeah. There isn’t any.”

As Prometheus continued to examine the Abyss, I saw the Abyss that Lee Hyeon had entered.

The Abyss, which had been growing darker and darker, had become completely black and was glowing ominously.

“It’s ugly.”

“The power that comes from here is so terrible that it cannot be expressed in words.”

A 500 meter diameter area of ​​land centered around the Abyss was rotting away blackly.

“How much magic does it have?”

“It’s not coming out, it’s being sucked in.”

“You’re sucking it in?”

“Yes. That Abyss is absorbing all the magic that has spread throughout this world. It’s like a planet that pulls all living things in with its gravity.”

“… How much is that amount?”

“I don’t know. The magic is so strong that investigators can’t approach it, so no one can go there.”

“Then, if that magic goes wild and spreads in all directions… it will affect the other Abysses as well.”

“Yeah. You know a lot.”

In order to cause the Abyss to run wild, concentrated magic was needed.

In that sense, the concentrated magic gathered in that Abyss was like a time bomb that could cause other Abysses to go out of control at any time.

“… How are the preparations going?”

“I have requested each temple and country to create a task force to subdue the remaining Abyss.”

“Can you stop it?”

“I don’t know. I can’t even guess how much magic there is. But I don’t think I can seal all the Abyss.”

I didn’t expect that.

Because there wasn’t much time.

The priority was simply to minimize the damage.

That way, even if the Abyss goes wild, we’ll be able to respond with a minimal number of people.

“I will also keep moving.”

“It won’t work.”

Prometheus said firmly.

“I don’t know when Lee Hyun will come out. If you’re not here, who can stop Lee Hyun?”

It was at that moment that he looked back at Prometheus.

Beep-. Beep-.

-Warning, warning, high-risk magic movement detected! High-risk magic movement detected!

A warning message that sounds along with an alarm.

and.

Woohoo.

The blackened abyss began to move and writhe.
