Episode 59/Chapter 2: G.o.d of conquest (2)

ED:

[Adenmaha, are you sleeping?]

[Master?]

A reply came back from Adenmaha after a short moment. Her voice was transmitted through mystical magic but you could still feel that she was sleepy and had just awakened.

[Oh, sorry. Keep sleeping]

[Ah, no. Im fine. What happened?]

Adenmaha hurriedly grabbed Tae Ho that was trying to return.

Tae Ho laughed at the rustling sound that was heard from beyond the door and then laughed and sent another mystical magic

[I wondered if we could speak for a moment]

[Wait a moment]

Rustling sounds were heard again and then the door got opened. It seemed like she brushed her hair in a hurry that it was disheveled and he could see from between Adenmahas white hair that Nidhogg and Hydra were sleeping while embracing each other and then a chair and a storybook was placed in it.

It seems like she dozed off while reading them the book.

Tae Ho thought of Adenmaha reading Nidhogg the storybook at Cuchulainns words. It was a scene that made you smile by its own.

Shes a nice kid.

Master?

Adenmaha blinked and asked while Tae Ho agreed. Tae Ho checked on Nidhogg and Hydra once again and spoke to her.

Theres something I want to test. Can we speak for a moment?

Test?

Yes, it wont last that long.

Okay. Its not that I cant.

Adenmaha put a disappointed face at the word test but then smiled brightly and answered.

And about 10 minutes later.

She has lost herself.

Cuchulainn spoke with a dumbfounded voice looking at Adenmaha swooning with a really red face.

This was what Tae Ho had managed to accomplish(?) in mere minutes since he started to speak sweet words after he used Bragis rune.

She, she will be fine right?

Tae Ho checked Adenmahas state and asked hurriedly. He couldnt do anything as she just collapsed while smiling like a fool.

Well, she should. Dont worry too much.

Tae Ho hurriedly used the eyes of the dragon as Cuchulainn spoke with an indisposed voice. It seemed like there were nothing odd fortunately.

I really did become the G.o.d of music.

Just like Tae Ho had revealed himself, he hadnt been able to perfectly inherit the seat of G.o.d of music but he could still plentily strengthen the rune of Bragi.

The G.o.ds of Olympus obtained a great strength through their sacred force with the help of their believers but even if they didnt have the power of belief, they were still recognized by the world.

Thats why Tae Ho was the G.o.d of music. He still hadnt obtained believers but no one could deny his divinity.

Tae Ho checked that there was nothing wrong with Adenmaha and then let out a sigh of relief and thought about the results and process of the test.

It certainly seems like the power becomes stronger if I aid it with a song. I will try to add an instrument to this later.

Bragi was the G.o.d of music and poetry and Tae Ho was now the G.o.d of music.

Apollo was a G.o.d that was especially excellent on playing a lyre made with the sh.e.l.l of a turtle so Tae Ho would be able to handle some instruments easily as he had inherited the seat from him.

Cuchulainn imagined Tae Ho playing an instrument and whispering sweet words on Adenmahas ear and spoke.

Do you hold any grudges towards Adenmaha?

Ey, theres no way. Im doing this because I need to.

Making Adenmaha faint was necessary?

Umm, I didnt do it intentionally. Anyways, you will get to know tomorrow.

It seems like you arent answering me immediately nowadays. You always tell me to wait.

Tae Ho smirked at Cuchulainns rebuke and then decided to settle Adenmaha that had collapsed on her bed.

Sorry.

Tae Ho apologized and then placed Adenmaha on the bed in a proper position and covered her with a blanked. He looked at her for a moment and then kissed her on the forehead.

Let my blessing accompany you.

Hehehe

Adenmaha laughed in a good mood as she was dreaming of something nice and Tae Ho also laughed after her and stroke her head a few times and then blessed her once again.

&

I dreamed of something really nice.

The next morning Adenmaha spoke with a dim face. Looking that she just flushed and smiled instead of telling him the details of the deram, it seemed like she was thinking that what happened last night was only a dream.

Right, that should be the best.

Tae Ho smiled bitterly while Cuchulainn clicked his tongue and then stroke her head a few times. It was because it was really cute to see her like it with a red face.

Master?

Adenmaha asked as if she didnt know what was going on but still liked Tae Hos hand so Tae Ho just laughed.

The battle had just ended and only a day had pa.s.sed but the group didnt have the leisure to relax.

The reason Tae Ho used Bragis rune as soon as he woke up was also because they were filled with things to do.

Athena-nim, I will ask you to do it.

Leave it to me.

Athena, that inherited the seat of the new G.o.ddess of sun, faced Tae Ho fixedly and said. She had recovered quite a lot of strength because Apollos divine power was added to her.

Tae Ho consoled Echidna and Rasgrid that were standing next to Athena.

Im sorry to make you dispatch only after a night. The damages yesterday werent small either.

Well, war is like that. But thanks to master all the injured ones recovered almost completely. Was that a golden apple tree? That was marvelous.

Echidna giggled and pointed towards the polis of Apollo with her chin. The huge golden apple tree Tae Ho made with his saga was releasing a holy aura.

Tae Ho nodded slightly and looked at Rasgrid.

I will entrust it to you.

Dont worry. I will certainly accomplish what master has ordered me to do.

Rasgrid put a faint smile and answered.

The reason they got to go out early in the morning was simple.

It was because the sacred forces of Apollo and Artemis became lands without owners.

Even if Tae Ho had received the seat of the G.o.d of music, it was hard for him to take over Apollos sacred force as he was a G.o.d of a foreign world.

But it was different for Athena as she was already a high named G.o.ddess. Now that she had received the seat of G.o.d of sun from Apollo, it would be good to receive everything he possessed.

Atalante, thank you for your a.s.sistance.

I will protect the land of Artemis-nim.

Atalante expressed etiquette politely to Tae Ho. She had gotten a really important role just like Athena.

It was hard even for Athena to take over Artemis sacred force but the story changed if they had the Great hero of Artemis, Atalante.

If they borrowed her strength they would be able to take over Artemis sacred force a few times faster than when Athena did it alone.

Athena and Atalante that had tagged together to take over the sacred force.

Echidna, that would a.s.sist the two of them with her forces.

The three Valkyries that were agents of Tae Ho and would observe the conquering process and arbitrate the two of them.

Tae Ho sent away the group first and then returned to the polis of Apollo and started to do his work.

The first thing he did was to have an individual talk.

Im Apollo-nims lesser G.o.d Calliope, the muse of poetry.

A black haired G.o.ddess that was holding a nameplate in one hand smiled and said. She was speaking commonly but her voice was as beautiful as when someone sang.

Hey, arent you getting pushed by her?

Cuchulainn laughed and Tae Ho activated Bragis rune. The lesser G.o.ds had moved their affiliation because they had already heard the situation from Apollo, but this was the first time they were meeting Tae Ho so you could say that they were still unmindful towards each other.

Tae Ho gulped dry saliva once and then started to speak while placing his divinity in the rune of Bragi. She didnt faint like Adenmaha in a few minutes but her eyes looking at Tae Ho had certainly changed.

Tae Ho faced the other five lesser G.o.ds that were gathered in the polis in the same way he did with Calliope and then had some lunch and went out to the public square. He had already announced it so almost all the humans in this polis were gathered in this square.

The voices of the people died as soon as Tae Ho appeared while winding himself with his dark blue divinity. Thousands of eyes only looked at Tae Ho and he faced them and activated his saga.

[Saga: The G.o.ddess of youth smiles under the golden apple tree]

A golden apple tree surged up behind Tae Ho. The humans admired and Tae Ho smirked at that sat down below the tree and put his hands on the lyre he had prepared.

It was an instrument he played for the first time in his life but he could know instinctively how to play it and what he had to do to make a finer sound. It was the power as the G.o.d of music.

Look at my eyes.

Tae Hos song started with the play with the lyre for the first time in his life.

&

Tae Hos song wasnt a love song. It also wasnt a war song that increased your morale or a hymn that sang the beauty of nature.

A song to advertise.

A song telling what happened in Olympus and what he had done in that situation and also to spread his name and Iduns name.

The power of Bragis rune was certainly amazing. No matter how doubtful you were, you would end up believing that all his words were true while listening to his song. The people that didnt even know of Idun started to praise her gentleness and beauty and thanked deeply towards Tae Ho and the warriors of Asgard that were fighting for the sake of Olympus.

They had defeated Artemis but there still a lot of enemies left.

The army of Poseidon was approaching on Apollos land in all sides and occupied almost all the lands Aphrodite and Ares, including Sparta.

They didnt have that much time but even so they couldnt just attack rashly.

Poseidon was a really strong existence, as he was the one that came next to Zeus in power and authority. The strength and scale of the army he ruled over couldnt be compared to Artemis or Dionysius at all.

Thats why they would first stabilize their sacred force.

They would gather people and prepare for the battle.

Tae Hos and Iduns started to get spread in various places of Olympus.

Hermes roamed several places of Olympus and spread stories about Tae Ho. Tae Ho also evaded Poseidon and went to find the nymphs, heroes and G.o.ds that had escaped and played his song and instrument.

The effects were clear.Tae Ho didnt need to go out himself at all.

The lesser G.o.ds told Tae Hos story.

The humans that had become Tae Hos believers told the ones that had escaped from war what they saw and experienced directly.

The stories that were transmitted from mouth to mouth widened its diffusion rate and range every day that pa.s.sed.

This is what you call a pyramidal scale.

I dont know about that but you are clearly a scammer.

The effects of the rumor didnt only end at spreading his name.

Carving the name of a new G.o.d and preparing for a base for Tae Ho to spread his sacred force was also one of the effects.

What he really aimed for was the concentration of strength.

The ones that were hiding while avoiding the beings wanting to destroy the world started to have hope at Tae Hos name. They came to find Tae Ho that had defeated Achilles, Ares and even Artemis and gathered in the polis of Apollo.

And when a week pa.s.sed like that.

There was someone going to find Tae Ho in the polis of Apollo- that could now be called the city of Idun.

He was the one that gave humans the first fire.

He received a punishment of having his liver getting fed to eagles for more than a thousand years as punishment but regardless of that he still loved humans.

His name was Prometheus.

The G.o.d of humans.
