Part 2, Chapter 57

* * *

When the energy fell like a pillar from the sword’s tip and struck the ground.

I instinctively realized.

This energy would maintain whatever form I desired at any time.

The energy, woven densely like a spider’s web with fine particles of light, seemed like mist and also like a high-density liquid.

The reason I embedded my sword in the towering pillar of light that stood like a nail and fell to the ground was for that very reason.

‘Slowly.’

The energy that had been helplessly shattered into pieces as the blade cut through it soon began to gradually harden and show resistance.

At some point when it was falling stably to the ground.

Ash called out to me.

“Ash! Please take care of Ricky! Don’t just dump her anywhere, put her down somewhere with as many people as possible!”

When I threw Ricky into the air, large talons grabbed her shoulder and flew away. It looks like the claws dug into her shoulder a bit… but it can’t be helped if we don’t want to drop her.

Now alone, I significantly lowered the resistance of the light pillar to speed up my descent.

Swoooosh!

Interesting.

Following that dazed impression, when I finally planted both feet on the ground.

The pillar had long since split into two branches and scattered like the Milky Way. The particles of light that fluttered like pollen decorated the sky before disappearing without a trace.

Good, somehow I saved both of us.

‘Then… should I head toward the base for now.’

But which direction was it.

It was the moment I stood there blankly, looking around.

I felt a faint vibration from within my chest. The source of the vibration I naturally took out was a silver coin with lily of the valley drawn on it.

“So what is this silver coin used for?”

How did Lu answer that question.

“Pantheon.”

Certainly, he said the Pantheon would open, the final stop for ascension to the distant universe.

How many was it? Was it when three people responded?

But how do you respond.

Questions led to more questions. Spolia, that bastard. He should have at least told me how to use it before giving me the coin…

“…Huh?”

I suddenly looked up.

The bright blue early summer sky had disappeared, and somehow I was standing on a desert that transitioned from the sky to the infinite universe.

This place was exactly.

‘Pantheon.’

When I blinked once more, I was sitting on a throne made of sand.

Four thrones placed in the desert faced each other. When I blinked again, the throne that had seemed to exist far away in the distance came right in front of me.

[Four.]

It was the voice of the man sitting on the throne across from me.

Due to the fierce sandstorm, I couldn’t see the other person’s face.

[It’s been a long time since everyone responded.]

[Not everyone. Everyone is five.]

Then, the person sitting on the right throne stood up.

A figure approached me. A girl with closed eyes reached out her arms toward me, caressing my face and whispering.

[So it’s you. The twenty-second rising morning star.]

Does that mean the twenty-second demigod.

I quietly looked down at the girl, then placed my hand on her head. When I rubbed vigorously, her long white hair that had been neatly arranged became a mess.

[What kind of prank is this.]

[…Are you Maria of the East?]

[I am Maria of the East, morning star.]

The girl who smiled gently, Maria, placed her hand on my lips and asked.

[I’m curious about the morning star’s awakening. Would you tell me what power you’ve awakened?]

The answer came from an unexpected place, not from my mouth.

[Immortality!]

The man on the left throne was staring at me. Purple eyes gleamed with an eerie light through the thick sandstorm.

[Even when your heart was torn out by me, you breathed perfectly fine. Isn’t that right, newcomer? Hahaha. It’s good to see your face again after 4 years… Are you keeping my thing well inside you?]

Is it Rien.

Even though this was a reunion with the enemy who killed me, strangely no excitement arose. Perhaps it’s because this place is the Pantheon.

[Immortality. A bland yet very interesting awakening.]

[…]

[God of death… For such a god’s face, you look very innocent. Truly interesting.]

God of death.

[Are you calling me by that name because I have the awakening of immortality?]

[Don’t you like it?]

[It’s tacky.]

[But morning star. All awakenings are like that… Does the power you awakened feel like a product of coincidence? It’s not.]

The girl who slowly withdrew her hand returned to her seat through the sandstorm.

[Awakening is the desire you most desperately wished for in the process of reaching enlightenment.]

[Desire?]

[That’s right. My gaining infinite memory, the North gaining control over time, the South being able to communicate with the dead, all of it…]

Then, the throne across from us interrupted Maria’s words.

[Stop the untimely teaching. That’s not what I’m here for.]

[Then what?]

[I propose the elimination of the South.]

Elimination.

Three pairs of eyes including mine turned toward the left throne.

[You’ve crossed the line, Rien. Your actions are worse than even Mephistopheles, who was a burnt wick. You have no value remaining on this earth as a demigod. What you desire is only humanity’s chaos and the god’s heart…]

Puhahahahahaha!

Maniacal laughter filled the desert.

The laugh was so ferocious that the sandstorm surrounding him became even more violent. Lightning struck the dry ground and dark clouds began to cover the sky.

[Elimination! Good! Try it, Spolia! Great Consul of the Constantino Republic…]

[Rien.]

[So who will you request elimination from? Maria, who has nothing left but intellectual curiosity, wandering all over the distant Eastern Continent and never showing her face?]

His hand that had been pointing toward the right throne now pointed at the wide open sky.

[Hmm? Is that not it? Then will you go crawling to Calepa, who doesn’t even attend these boring gatherings, to beg for help?]

The purple eyes turned toward me again.

[Or maybe our newcomer? Hahaha… That’s not it. You don’t have the qualifications for that, Spolia… Remember your trashy deeds!]

Bang! When Rien’s fist struck the throne, lightning flashed and all the sandstorms disappeared.

With all obstacles blocking our vision gone, the faces of all the gods finally became visible.

We were sitting facing each other at an even closer distance.

That wasn’t all. Below the thrones…

[Do you see, newcomer? Those are stars that fell from the sky and died. One, two, three… Quite a lot, right? I can even see a star that fell just 15 years ago.]

Only bones remained.

White bones, skeletons that had once been someone’s flesh, sprouted like seedlings from the soft desert sand.

[They were all killed by Spolia.]

Thud. A skull flew far away from Rien’s merciless kick.

[I almost shared the same fate. …You’re next, newcomer.]

Another blink.

Rien was already standing in front of me.

Standing with a friendly face unimaginable for someone who had torn out my heart, he wrapped his long arms around my shoulders, fixed my gaze on Spolia, and whispered in my ear.

[You don’t think so? Don’t believe it. Behind that ascetic face, Spolia is ardently coveting you… Someday she’ll seduce you until your soul is completely captivated, and try to have your child… Ah, since you’re a woman, she’ll make you carry her child instead. Then she’ll disappear with the child. As if it were all just a dream.]

It was an unnecessarily detailed emotional description. As if.

[Is that your personal experience?]

Rien fell silent.

After a long while passed, he urged in a low, sunken voice.

[Let’s kill the West.]
