Episode 55/Chapter 1: The legion of the main G.o.d (1)

TL: Tsubak

ED:

Freya, that was looking at the direction where the connecting path to Olympus was, glanced sideways.

She saw Odin that was also placing his fist in his chest like her.

Freya thought for a moment in that state and then asked in a low voice.

I copied you in the moment but did it turn out well?

Freya could also see what was happening in Olympus because she was next to Odin. But the time she could see was really short. The transmission ended even before she could grasp the situation.

Odin frowned slightly at Freyas anxious voice and then answered with a laid back voice.

Probably. I wouldnt know if Ares was the antipode in the fate of Iduns warrior but hes the master of Asgard now.

His claim was rather irresponsible but actually Odin had proof. He could see what was happening in Olympus a while longer than Freya and thanks to that he could also understand what kind of effect the Hall of Valhalla Tae Ho spread with his divinity region had.

Odin was the G.o.d of War. He had investigated about the G.o.ds of Olympus long ago for the worst case situation and was confident to say that he knew them quite well.

The opponent was the G.o.d of war Ares.

If they had clashed head on then Iduns warrior wouldnt have any chances at victory. But that was only when he hadnt ranked up as a to ranked warrior and was still Iduns warrior.

Looking that the seat of the master had been over it meant that Iduns warrior had awakened his deity.

The G.o.d of battle.

And at the same time the G.o.d of conquer.

The deity showed a characteristic of a G.o.d clearly.

Odin didnt even think that Iduns warrior would lose after he awakened as a G.o.d of battle and even halved Ares divinity with his Hall of Valhalla.

Odin checked the progress of the battle once again and nodded slowly. And in the first place, if Iduns warrior had been defeated the seat of the master of Asgard would have returned to him. But that wasnt happening so he was sure that Iduns warrior had won.

Whats wrong?

Odin, that was deep in his thoughts, tilted his head and asked.

Freya let out a long sigh at his face that really didnt know what was wrong.

Ha.it really got handed over.

The seat of the master of Asgard.

Odin was the same as always but Freya could feel the difference. She couldnt sense the strength of the master from Odin anymore.

Odin laughed refres.h.i.+ngly at Freyas words and then held her waist and said.

So you are saying it got handed in a fake way?

Ugh, you know that I really want to hit you right?

If you are going to hit me anyways please hit me gently.

Freya closed her eyes as Odin spoke casually and then hit her chest a few times.

You are really a snaky person.

Odins actions had become lighter after they defeated the World Wolf as if a tooth that bothered him had been plucked out.

Freya regretted that Odin became darker after the Great War so she welcomed this change but she still missed Odin that had some weight in him.

But regardless of Odin knowing how she felt, he laughed once again and asked.

Are you that angry?

Do you think I wont get angry? How can you not tell me? It was the same last time.

Because he didnt say a thing about Loki. He made her resent the hero that had sacrificed himself for Asgard for a hundred years.

The eyes of Freya that were looking up at Odin became slightly red. It was because the frustration of Odin being secretive and the regret towards Loki had surged up.

Im sorry. When I was in the roots I was in a situation that I had to imagine the worst.And after that, I could have never imagined this would happen.

Are you putting up that as an excuse? You had plenty of opportunities to tell me in the middle.

Now that you say it you are right.

Freya dropped her shoulders as Odin agreed honestly. She felt like she was the only one becoming a fool the more they spoke.

Leave it. Only my mouth hurts when we speak. In the end you are saying that you dont trust me. You just treat me as as someone you can hand over the trivial duties.

How can that be? You are the only kid I can leave Valhalla to.

You are always like this.

Freya mumbled in a low voice and pouted and then Odin embraced her from her waist like he couldnt endure it anymore.

This pouting side of you is also cute.

Leave it. I should really hit you.

Freya really hit Odins s.h.i.+n as soon as she finished speaking. But of course, it was really slightly and then checked if he was okay.

Odin laughed once again at her.

Why are you aware of me after hitting me?

Its because im too gentle, worrying about the leg of an old man.

Hm, old man.

Odin put more strength in the arm he was grabbing Freya. She snorted and then slapped Odins chest.

Ugh, such a snaky person. Anyways, you know that this is not the time to be playing like this right? This means that Zeus and Ares have completely turned as enemies.

Freyas voice became serious once again and Odins eyes became sharp.

It shouldnt be the case for all of the 12 Olympians. Athena was next to Iduns warrior.

The relations.h.i.+p between Ares and Athena was bad but it wasnt to the point they wanted to kill each other. But regardless of that, they were still facing each other so it was clear the sides had been split.

Did an internal conflict arise?

I wonder..it would be good if it were that simple.but I dont think thats the case. Didnt you also feel it?

The ones wanting to destroy the world.

Ares wasnt the G.o.d of war Odin and Freya knew anymore. He ended up switching sides completely.

We have to open the connecting path the fastest possible.

They couldnt know how many of the 12 Olympians had changed sides. Perhaps, everyone except for Athena may be enemies of Iduns warrior. They had to dispatch reinforcements the fastest they could.

But Odin spoke in a low voice instead of raising his voice like Freya.

It wouldnt be easy even if the two of us join hands as you can see that they sealed it with all their determination. Most of allim not the master anymore.

Odin had just returned from the northern region to Valhalla.

Thats why he still hasnt met the seal in the connecting path.

It wasnt easy for someone that wasnt a master to dispel the seal spread by a master. In addition, the other side has just destroyed everything and then sealed it up. They had to reconstruct everything one by one and rebuild the connecting path again. So naturally, the former was much more difficult.

But you are still the G.o.d of magic. You can do it.

Freya clenched her fists and said. Odin nodded.

Right, I have to try however I can if its to rescue Iduns warrior.

Odin was planning to go to war with Olympus if it was to save Tae Ho even when he was still a top ranked warrior. But now that he had become the master of Asgard he would have to pour all of the forces of Asgard and save him.

But it was then. Freya frowned as if something was wrong and then asked in a low voice.

Odin?

Whats wrong?

What should I say. It was clearly an emergency situation but I feel somewhat relieved.

Freyas face was close and she was the G.o.d that maintained the closest relations.h.i.+p with Odin since the Great War.

Odin got bewildered at Freyas words but then understood her feelings. She nodded and said.

It must be because of your trust in him. That if its Iduns warrior, he will be able to use the authority he just obtained in an effective way.Didnt he actually shave away Ares divinity by spreading his own region of divinity?

What else can he do with the authority of the master?

A lot of things.

Freya put on a dissatisfactory face at the vague answer but Odin still spoke of something else instead of explaining.

Freya, the prettiest kid of Asgard. The war has just ended but we have to prepare for a new war.

The war between Asgard and Olympus.

Odin wasnt planning to have Asgard as the battlefield at all. If war erupted once again, they would be at the offensive instead of the defensive in that war.

And what they needed for that.

Odin sent flying the herd of crows that were sitting in the window with a gesture of his hand. He ordered Hugin that flew the highest.

Call Thor.

The G.o.d of Thunder that would stand at the vanguard of Asgard.

While Hugin rushed off to somewhere Odin and Freya got out of Valhalla. They prepared a cat carriage that would head to the connecting path of Olympus.

&

Adenmaha.

Adenmaha smiled like a fool at Tae Hos call and moved her fingers sluggishly. Looking at her rubbing her shoulders was really lovely.

Adenmaha.

He called her again but the reaction was vague again. It seemed like she was in her own world.

Tch tch tch, poor thing. How did you treat her usually that she likes it that much with just having called her name? Look at the wall and reflect on your actions.

Tae Ho also felt a little bit of guilt. Adenmaha was always at his side. He really felt like he had treated her too unkindly like Cuchulainn said.

At least stroke her head. Or embrace her. Settling the battlefield comes after that.

While Cuchulainn was coaching him, Tae Ho turned his body to the left reflexively. It was because there was someone running towards him.

Tae Ho master!

Nidhogg embraced Tae Hos neck. She raised her voice with a really excited voice.

We won! We defeated the bad guys! I defeated them with my roll!

Thank you, its all because of Nidhogg.

Nidhoggs eyes started to s.h.i.+ne as Tae Ho complimented her. She smiled simply like Adenmaha and then twisted her body and said with a low voice.

Compliment me a bit more. Stroke my head.

She was quite honest in many meanings.

As Tae Ho stroked her head while enduring the laughter, a new voice was heard behind him.

Ohh.lord. You have obtained a deity. Congratulations. I got sincerely impressed at your prowess of having defeated the G.o.d of war Ares.

Thank you Ismenios. You have been of big help.

When Tae Ho answered while creating some distance, Ismenios clenched his chest with an enchanted expression.

Kuk, this.I believe that Drakon Ismenios will get drunk on happiness and lose consciousness.

I really do think hes dangerous.

Cuchulainn spoke with disgust.

No matter the case Ares was the blood brother of Drakon Ismenios. But of course, for Ismenios he was a villain that had kidnapped and detained his mother so he couldnt help but feel a bit of rejection.

You can obtain peace when you look at Rolo.

Tae Ho took one more step back while still holding Nidhogg and then looked at Rolo. He was putting on an uninterested face as expected.

But lord, what are you going to do with the children of Ares? Theres a probability they will bother us so how about killing them all?

Peace lasted only for a moment, Drakon Ismenios came up with an extreme opinion.

Tae Ho got surprised and then activated the eyes of the dragon and looked at the children of Ares. Excluding the ones that had died while Ares took away their divinity and the ones that lost their lives with the Valkyries, there were about twenty people that were half dead.

Tae Ho said to Drakon Ismenios.

Is there really a need to do that? Ares died so they also got freed from his restraint.

But there may still be some that have loyalty towards him>

The expression of Drakon Ismenios was really serious. There were some like Hippolyte that had offered up their divinities themselves so there was no guarantee that they would simply side with them even if their restraint was freed up.

Lets just imprison them for now. There may be some that convert like you, Ismenios.

Even no one came up, he opposed to killing them all. Tae Ho was a G.o.d of battle, not a G.o.d of ma.s.sacre.

Ah.I have been greatly impressed once again at your generosity.

Right.

Tae Ho interrupted his words, that were getting long, and then looked at Adenmaha and Nidhogg.

Oh, it changed.

WHat did?

Tae Ho transmitted Cuchulainn what he saw.

[Tae Hos Valkyrie]

[Adenmaha]

[Tae Hos Valkyrie]

[Nidhogg]

The t.i.tle Tae Hos Valkyrie appeared temporarily when he used his saga on Rolo but this was different.

Adenmaha and Nidhogg werent Iduns Valkyries anymore. They were Tae Hos Valkyries.

Did they move legions as you became the master?

Yes, im sorry for Idun-nim but..this would be better just looking at the immediate efficiency. I can also lend them my strength. So.

So?

Im planning to gather the remaining power in Olympus into one.

Well, you shou.wait. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you are finally revealing your black side.

The Valkyries of the other legions.

Tae Ho was planning to move all of them to his legion. He had an excellent justification that he could increase the strength of the Valkyries a bit more in an isolated situation and he also had a way to execute the authority of the master.

But of course, that wasnt because of a simple collecting greed. Just like Nidhoggs and Adenmahas prayers were of help in the battle against Ares, Tae Ho would get strengthened just by increasing the number of members in his legion.

Are you also going to make Siri and Bracky move?

The two of them had a strong sense of belonging of their legion and in addition they received good will from the G.o.d they served.

But thinking of the current situation, the correct answer was to move them to Tae Hos legion.

A legion of the main G.o.d will be made.

A legion that was few in numbers but was comparatively strong.

But contrary to Cuchulainns expectation, Tae Ho shook his head.

I have other plans for captain Siri and Bracky. Although I will have to see if thats possible.

Other plans?

Other plans.

What he became able to do as he became the master.

A new plan appeared in Tae Hos head.

Episode 55/Chapter 2: The legion of the main G.o.d (2)

TL: Tsubak

ED:

So master, what are you going to do in the end?

At the entrance of the underworld after the Hall of Valhalla has been retrieved.

Tae Ho leaned up on Rolo that was lying down on his stomach and Adenmaha was leaning on his shoulder and arm.

Tae Ho looked at Adenmahas face that still had stains of her tears and then answered while looking forward.

Hermes will come soon. Athena-nim should have noticed the situation over here.

Tae Ho could feel the ones that were connected to him when he awakened as the master. Even though Athena was a G.o.d of Olympus, she was connected with Tae Ho through his saga so she must have also noticed the changes.

But of course, he wasnt sure of it. Even if Athena realized that Tae Ho had awakened as the master she wouldnt know what happened after that.

But she was a really wise person. In addition, Tae Ho was like the last thread of hope for her so she would try to check what happened however she could.

SO anyways, you are saying that Hermes is going to come.

Cuchulainn organized the situation with a casual voice. It seemed like he was a bit absent minded and Tae Ho knew the reason for that. It was because he was checking on Nidhogg that was apprehending the children of Ares along with Drakon Ismenios.

She had just learned how to make a knot so the speed she was doing it was really slow in addition that it was a mess but she was still trying her best. You could only smile warmly at her.

Um, so you are saying that meeting with Hestia-nim is the best for now right?

She should be the one that is the finest among the forces of Olympus we can approach. And now that I see, did you meet Hestia-nim before?

UhI think I saw her.

Adenmaha paused and evaded Tae Hos eyes. Tae Ho approached his face closer to her as she seemed really suspicious.

Saw her?

Adenmaha turned her head completely but it was meaningless as she was stuck next to Tae Ho.

Adenmaha groaned for a while and then made an excuse.

Um, I was arguing that I had to go and rescue master..

Argue?

And grabbed his throat..

Adenmaha flushed.

Summing up, she did meet Hestia but she was grabbing on Hermes throat so she hadnt been able to greet her.

Um, the first impression wasnt good then.

No, it was the worst.

Tae Ho naturally thought of Adenmaha growling at Hermes while grabbing his throat and the G.o.ddess that didnt know what to do and was putting a troubled expression.

Adenmaha seemed to have read Tae Hos mind that she spoke sharply.

You know that this is all because of you right? I should lecture you first

She stopped talking there. Adenmaha ended up pausing her words unconsciously when she was about to lecture him.

The reason was obviously Tae Ho.

Adenmaha, im always grateful. You have always been with me since we met right? And you also gave me strength this time. If you hadnt been here I wouldnt have been able to defeat Ares. Its all thanks to you.

Tae Ho looked at Adenmahas eyes fixedly and spoke quickly and the effects were amazing. Adenmahas face became red in different meaning to before and barely snorted after some time.

Hm, hmph. You always try to pa.s.s away things

Im still really grateful at you.

Tae Ho spoke once again. This time, Bragis rune worked hard and Adenmahas face became even redder. She couldnt get angry at him anymore.

Adenmaha ended up getting angry in the end and spoke with a dim face.

Master, dont do that anymore. Okay?

Sorry, I cant make that promise. I cant let you be in danger.

Tae Ho grabbed her hand tightly and said. He felt like he could hear Cuchulainn struggling while criticizing him saying that it was too cheesy but Tae Ho cleanly ignored him.

UhhI have to get angry at you but I cant.

Adenmaha mumbled in a really low voice. She seemed like she was forcing it back but the corner of her lips was trying to curl up.

Evil b.a.s.t.a.r.d. At least, dont use Bragis rune. Huh?

Cuchulainn clicked his tongue and said. Tae Ho answered in a low voice at his criticizing voice.

Its embarra.s.sing if I do that and it doesnt work.

You are aware that it is embarra.s.sing. And the results would probably remain the same even if you dont use the rune.

He could know when he looked at her. I wouldnt be weird if Adenmahas eyes changed into the shape of a heart.

A, anyways! She was a beautiful G.o.d. She was really calm. I felt like she gave me the same feeling from when I first saw Idun-nim.

Adenmaha spoke pawing in the air as if trying to shake away her embarra.s.sment. But the reaction of Tae Ho was a bit weird.

Why? Was there something wrong in my explanation?

No, um. The first impression is like that. Right. So anyways, shes a calm person.

Tae Ho thought of the several sides Idun had and answered. It was because he also had the same impression as her when he first met Idun.

A beautiful, n.o.ble, really calm and gentle G.o.ddess.

Its different now?

Of course.

Just like when she stood up to Odin and Freya telling them not to try to scam him and give him a proper reward, or when she imitated Heda and teased him.

But of course, it didnt mean that he was disappointed at here. He rather liked her more like this than when he first met her.

Adenmaha tilted her head like she didnt know what Tae Hos answer meant but then returned to speak about Hestia.

Anyways, she has a really gentle atmosphere around her. And.uh.I thought about it again but I can only think her troubled face when I was grabbing Hermes by his throat.

Adenmaha grabbed her head and suffered. It was because she was really embarra.s.sed to show such a side to her when she was trying to act like a G.o.ddess like G.o.ddess usually.

Lets go apologize together.

Tae Ho grabbed her hands again and said. Adenmaha then nodded with a depressed face.

Hey, doesnt she have to apologize to Hermes instead of Hestia?

Because Hermes was the one that got caught by his throat.

But his voice wasnt heard to Adenmaha.

And after a while, Adenmaha barely regained composure and changed the subject that had gone really astray to the beginning.

So what after we meet Hestia-nim?

We should listen to what she says but we obtained several choices thanks to having defeated Ares.

Um.certainly. I can already think of three things.

And what are theym?

As Tae Ho asked with curious eyes, Adenmaha hesitated for a moment but then spread three fingers and said.

First, rescuing Demeter-nim? Athena-nim also said that she thinks Hephaestus-nim was also caught by Ares.

Next?

Destroying the barrier of Zeus guarding the connecting path? We dont know how big is the force stationed over there but you said you defeated Achilles, that is like their leader. Even if conquering them is difficult because we dont have that many forces we will still be able to attack. And I think that this is rather an opportunity.

Olympus still didnt know about the death of Achilles, the defeat of Ares or the awakening of Tae Ho as the master.

They didnt know the amount of forces the opponent would have but still, the group could ignore a certain force. If you took that into account, this was the best opportunity to ambush them now that their strongest countermeasure to them had been defeated.

But Adenmaha, that said that, and Tae Ho that listened to her knew that this option wasnt likely to be choosed.

The force of Zeus guarding the connecting path was still unknown. In addition, the group had spent a considerable amount of strength in the battle against Ares. They needed time to recover.

And the last?

Fighting against Artemis.

Adenmaha answered concisely. She was the closest and compared to Poseidon and Ares she was the most easy to deal with.

Indeed, all of them are likely.

Uh, it isnt one of these?

Adenmaha asked while tilting her head as she had folded all three of her fingers. No matter how much she thought she couldnt think of another option.

Tae Ho fixed Adenmahas fingers and said.

Just like I said before, we have to meet Hestia-nim and debate with Athena-nim and Apollo-nim a bit more. And the result for that can be one of the options you said.

I feel like there are other options.

Yes, about two more.

Adenmaha opened her eyes widely at Tae Hos answer. For there to be two options instead of one.

Wait, it isnt something reckless like now that it turned out like this we are going to invade mount Olympus! right?

How can that be? There are two probable options.

What are they? Tell me quickly.

Adenmaha grabbed Tae Hos arm and urged an answer but Tae Ho spoke with a casual face.

You look cuter than usual because you are acting affectionately.

Hehe.not!

Adenmaha was about to like it reflexively but then got a hold of herself and yelled.

Tae Ho looked at her and smiled and Adenmaha pinched his arm but it was useless. Tae Ho obtained a body like steel after bathing in the river Styx like Achilles.

He stroke the head of Adenmaha that didnt give up and was still pinching Tae Hos arm and spoke with a playful voice.

I will tell you when we meet Hestia-nim. We have to think what is more efficient between the two. Or we can also go with one of the options you mentioned first.

The group didnt have much they could do before they moved to meet Hades but the situation had changed.

They could also go on the offensive. The real counter attack started now.

I tied up everything!

A loud voice was heard then. When he turned his head with Adenmaha they saw Nidhogg smiling brightly.

Tae Ho master! I tied it all!

The number of survivors among the children of Ares was 19. Five of them were apprehended by Nidhogg and the remaining ones were tied down by Ismenios.

You did well! Nidhogg is great!

As Adenmaha answered in a loud voice and waved her hand Nidhogg also waved back to her. If you saw them from a side they looked like a mother and a daughter that were out on a picnic.

He finally arrived.

Tae Ho spoke in a low voice and stood up. Adenmaha stood up with him and asked.

Hermes-nim?

Right, it seems like I really did become a G.o.d.

He could feel things he couldnt before he obtained a deity.

He could clearly know that Hermes was approaching and what route he was taking even without needing to use the eyes of the dragon.

Tae Ho looked at the place the magic circle was at. And a few seconds later, the messenger G.o.d that was wearing shoes with big wings in it appeared with the wind.

He looked at his surroundings hurriedly with a nervous expression and then met eyes with Tae Ho.

This crazy. It was true!

The master of Asgard.

Tae Ho looked at that Hermes and he, that was hesitating for a moment, fixed his posture. He expressed etiquette politely to the master of Asgard as the messenger G.o.d of Olympus.

&

The G.o.ddess of Hearth Hestia greets the master of Asgard.

The place they had moved through the magic circle of Hermes was the inside of a big shrine.

The G.o.ddess that was standing next to a hearth releasing light and fire expressed etiquette with a gentle smile.

The G.o.ddess of Hearth Hestia.

She, that was the eldest yet the youngest daughter of Chronos was the sister of Zeus, Poseidon and Hades and at the same time with Hera and Demeter.

So naturally, her divinity was really high and it was enough to get inside the 12 Olympians

But as she didnt like arguing and fuss by nature, conceded her seat to the son of Zeus Dionysius herself and chose to retire.

The woman that was covering herself with a red cloth was just like Adenmaha had explained.

Brown words that gave you a warm feeling and scarlet eyes that were filled with gentleness. A white and pure face.

No matter how ferocious someone was, it seemed like they would turn into simple sheeps in front of them.

Even Cuchulainn, that started to talk more in front of beauties, stayed silent without even cracking a joke.

It was no different for Tae Ho that he looked at Hestia with devoted eyes.

But it seemed that Hestia felt this atmosphere to be rather stiff that she brought another subject first.

Master of Asgard, there are a lot of things we have to speak about but closing the distance between us should come first. Fortunately, Athena told me something you like a lot.

Yes?

Tae Ho asked back unconsciously and Cuchulainn opened his eyes widely in surprise.

After a while, the words that came out of Hestias mouth gaave Tae Ho more embarra.s.sment.

What the master of Asgard, Tae Ho, liked a lot.

Its a meeting.

Hestia spoke gently and Athena, that was standing far away, nodded with a satisfied face.

Episode 55/Chapter 3: The legion of the main G.o.d (3)

TL: Tsubak

ED:

Long ago, the king of the t.i.tans Chronos had relations.h.i.+ps with his sister and wife Rhea and bore several children.

But he feared that someone that surpa.s.sed him got born among his children so everytime they were born he commited the atrocity of eating them whole.

Rhea couldnt endure her children getting eaten by Chronos everytime they were born so she asked for help to her mother Gaia and saved Zeus.

She had changed Zeus with a big rock before Chronos ate him.

Thanks to that Zeus managed to keep his life and grew up between the nymphs Gaia had chosen and became a really powerful G.o.d and thought about defeating his father Chronos that may one day seek his life.

Zeus got the help of his mother Rhea to rescue his brothers that were caught inside Chronos but they came out in the opposite way they entered so the one that got eaten first ended up getting out last.

Due to this, the rank the children of Chronos and Rhea got overturn completely.

The youngest Zeus became the eldest and the fifth, Poseidon, became the second and obtained strength and authority that was the strongest next to Zeus.

In the other hand, the eldest Hestia became the youngest and her rank and authority became the lowest among the six siblings.

But even if that was the case she was still the sister of Zeus. There was no one that could treat her divinity and deity lightly.

In addition, Hestia was a possessor of a really compa.s.sionate and virtuous character compared to certain G.o.ds of Olympus. She also had looks that were so outstanding she received proposal from Poseidon and Apollo at the same time so actually there was no one that didnt admire her.

That person said that it was a meeting with a gentle expression and placed her lips lightly on Tae Hos forehead.

Shall my blessing accompany you.

Hestias smile was soft and warm like the breeze in spring. He felt like his impurities were being cleansed just by looking at it.

Hey, are you okay? You dont feel like you got purified and want to ascend to heaven?

Tae Ho ignored Cuchulainn like usual and cleared his throat. He suppressed his embarra.s.sment and answered simply.

Thank.you.

Hey hey, why cant you meet her eyes? Huh?

Because he was embarra.s.sed. To say that it was a meeting from the start. In addition, to say that it was the thing he liked most.

Well, even if its true its still embarra.s.sing.

Cuchulainns words. .h.i.t the spot precisely like always.

But it was at that moment. Hestia misunderstood that Tae Ho was suffering of the embarra.s.sment and put a really sorry face.

Master of Asgard, Im really sorry. I should have prepared a place for you to rest as you have come after a fierce battle. Please forgive my unworthiness.

Her voice clearly showed her guilt. Because of that Tae Ho felt guilt instead of her and spoke hurriedly.

Ah, no. Its fine. Its not Hestia-nims fault.

No, I broke the turn of things because I was in a hurry. I will prepare a place at least now.

Im really fine. There are many things we have to talk about the current situation of Olympus. I can put behind resting for now.

As Tae Ho smiled awkwardly and answered, Hestia looked at that Tae Ho for a moment and then said while her eyes reddened.

For the master of Asgard to think of Olympus like this..I can only be grateful to you as a G.o.ddess of Olympus.

It seemed like she got really moved.

Cuchulainn clicked his tongue when he saw her shed tears.

Hey, doesnt your conscience hurt?

Of course it did.

But Tae Ho just received the situation instead of suffering and rather found a positive point.

Im glad anyways.

What? That you sold your consciousness long ago?

That she got registered well. Is it because I became the master? Or because I obtained a deity? I feel like the completion rate is increasing better than before.

[G.o.ddess of hearth]

[Hestia]

He only had one meeting with her but the completion rate increased so much he felt like he could summon her right now. It seemed like his deity certainly played a big role.

In the other hand, Cuchulainn got dumbfounded at Tae Hos claim and yelled hurriedly.

Hestia-nim! Open your eyes! This b.a.s.t.a.r.d isnt what you think!

It of course didnt reach her. Hestia tidied up her eyes with the handkerchief Tae Ho lent her and then put a bright smile to lead the group to their seats and started to speak after serving them tea she heated in the hearth.

Master of Asgard, I will tell you what I know for now.

Hestia spoke about the things that happened the past two months.

Two months ago, she got out of her secluded life and got out to the world when she noticed the change in the mount of Olympus.

But there wasnt particularly anything she could do aside from rescuing Hermes as she didnt have any heroes under her.

But she still tried her best to change the situation to become better and didnt just sit back and watch.

She had started to treat Hermes injuries and prepare for the days to come.

The shelter the group of Tae Ho got led to was one of Hestias efforts.

When Hestia finished speaking about the past she started to speak about the present.

The news about the death of Ares should be spread far away already. Sparta and the several polises under him must have been liberated. But I think that there is no one that knows that you have awakened as the master of Asgard.

Is it because it occurred in the underworld?

Yes, you are right. The underworld is the territory of Hades so theres a high probability Poseidon or Artemis dont know how and by whom Ares got defeated. We also wouldnt have known about it if it wasnt for Athena, that has a connection with you.

You could say that the underworld was another world that was separate from the ground. In the first place, the reason Tae Ho could spread the Hall of Valhalla comparatively easily was because he was at the underworld, a neutral region.

If it was like Hestia had said, they were in a really favorable situation.

But Tae Ho didnt reach to hasty conclusions. There was something he got able to feel more clearly thanks to having become the master.

Are you talking about Zeus?

Even if the underworld was a separate world it was still a world inside of Olympus. There was a high probability the master of Olympus, Zeus, felt something.

Hestia shrunk her shoulder slightly at Tae Hos question and answered.

Its impertinent to say this..but even im not certain. If it was the usual Zeus he would have known of it but the current Zeus is in a really chaotic state.

He did send Achilles to attack the group but he hadnt completely turned into a being wanting to destroy the world. Zeus was still struggling desperately as the master of Olympus.

But he was in a situation he would one day turn completely. Because of that, they had to change the situation to become more favorable before thathappened.

Artemis is currently attacking violently the polises of Apollo. Fortunately, the damages arent that big as Apollo ordered them to escape rather than fight back.

Only a few days had pa.s.sed since she started attacking but already quite a lot of polises and villages had pa.s.sed to her hands.

Poseidon is erasing from the world all of the polises near the sh.o.r.es. His dependents that surged up from the sky are invading the west with the monsters in the ground so the damages are actually overwhelming.

Poseidon had continued attacking even while Tae Hos group moved to the entrance of the underworld. You could see that he had completely turned into a being wanting to destroy the world compared to Zeus.

The army of Zeus has begun to move on several regions. They are gathering the army of the east so they will start marching in no time.

What was fortunate was that Ares died and Sparta got liberated from him. Sparta, that should have made up the core of the army of the east, had floated up into the air so a considerable setback would be created in the plan of the enemies.

Tae Ho held his silence for a moment.

He had defeated Ares and awakened as the master but the situation was still bad.

All the G.o.ds that had turned into beings waiting to destroy the world were strong and in the other side the G.o.ds wanting to maintain the world had their divinities to weakened they could barely maintain themselves.

In addition the dominion of polises was also bad so they were in an absolute disadvantage in numbers.

But Tae Ho didnt despair. Now that he had become the master of Asgard, the range of options he had had widened just like he had told Adenmaha. There were still things he could go.

Hestia-nim, and Athena-nim. Theres something I want to ask.

Hestia tilted her head at Tae Hos question but then stuttered an answer. She knew the answer and thats why she replied to Tae Ho but it seemed like she didnt know why he was asking her that.

But it was different for Athena. She knew the meaning behind Tae Hos question.

It will be fun.

A smile got drawn in her face.

&

Artemis frowned.

Four days since Ares died.

She made the troop that was attacking the polises of Apollo retreat.

The reason was simple.

Iduns warrior.

There were only two strong G.o.ddess that had legions among the several G.o.ds of Asgard.

The G.o.ddess of magic Freya and the G.o.ddess of life and youth Idun.

He wasnt Freyas warrior so the conclusion that he was Iduns warrior came up naturally.

He killed Ares.

She couldnt even imagine how he killed him. He was strong but he was merely someone that had just become a top ranked warrior.

It was more proper to think that Hades had killed Ares just like Dionysius had thought.

But Artemis thought differently. You could say that it was her sense as a hunter.

Even if Iduns warrior didnt defeat Ares directly, he would have certainly played a decisive role.

Iduns warrior.

He killed Orion and Meleager. He made Delphos fall and ma.s.sacred several children of Ares. He didnt stop at deceiving Artemis but also saved Athena.

Artemis bit her lips. It seemed like her displeasure transformed into a snake and swirled in her body.

He will come

It was proper to think that he would aim for her that was the closest now that Ares had died. It was also a method to recover Apollos divine power so he would certainly come for her.

Set up the defenses solidly. Dont slack on the vigilance be it day or night.

She ordered her heroes with the great hero Atalante at the lead. The monsters that entered her rank also took perfect defensive stance.

Artemis also prepared herself. She armed herself completely and then connected the power of her sacred force into one. She was confident to intercept him no matter where he came from.

Come if you dare. This place will become your grave!

Artemis clenched her fist under the bright moonlight and put a confident smile.

And at the same time, Adenmaha spoke with a worried voice.

Um, theres really no need to go to Artemis?

This should be the most ideal time to attack her.

But Tae Ho shook his head. It was because it was indeed an ideal time to attack her but actually that wasnt the case at all if you looked at the big picture.

She must be raising her defenses solidly. Striking her when they get exhausted and their defenses slack is the most appropriate.

There was no reason to touch a porcupine that has raised all of its thorns. They also didnt have an urgent reason to attack Artemis.

We should reinforce ourselves when she hasnt gotten a hold of herself.

Hermes was looking for Demeter and Hephaestus. They had to know where they were at to be able to rescue them.

Hermes said that he would give them an answer at least in ten days.

Ten days.

It wasnt short. It didnt make sense for them to be playing in that time.

Thats why Tae Ho asked something to Athena and Hestia and could hear a satisfactory answer from them.

Hydra.

The venomous dragon that had strong poison, nine heads and regeneration powers that was close to infinite.

The hydra that got defeated by the strongest hero of Olympus, Heracles, got buried under a mountain of boulders for hundreds of years.

Poor.

Nidhogg felt a compa.s.sionate pain and said with a teary face. Tae Ho stroke her head and clenched his fists.

Lets save Hydra. Okay?

Yes! I will work hard!

Nidhogg nodded and resoluted herself. It seemed like she was about to roll right now.

ANd Siri, that was looking at the two of them, said with a low voice.

Im glad Hydra is a male.

Right.

Cuchulainn agreed and Adenmaha nodded.
