Episode 155
âAre you really Hephaestus?â
Greek god Hephaestus.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Is that really true? Or rather, wasnât he originally said to be an ugly man in the myth? But what is that? So handsome?
Red hair, red eyes, and even a limp on one leg. Itâs all like a myth, but that handsome face is so different from what was said. So, Seo-ra didnât even dare to guess that he might be Hephaestus.
âI heard that the saints cannot descend to the ground unless the contracted party summons them.â
ãâIs this your land?âã
If you say that, there is nothing to say. If this was another planet, the uninvited guests would be themselves.
âBut a dungeon whose owner is the Eucharist has never been discovered until now.â
âuh. âThatâs right.â
Perhaps recognizing that the opponent was not an enemy, Seong Ja-rim relaxed and lowered his weapon. Unlike Seo-ra, who was very surprised, she was calmer than expected.
âWhat are you talking about?â
âOriginally, the Holy Body does not appear even in dungeons. But things change after the 8th floor of the labyrinth is conquered.â
âwhat? Does this mean that after conquering the 8th floor, holy bodies can appear in the dungeon? Are you telling us to kill God? How is that possible? âArenât you crazy?â
âThe god that appears in the dungeon is not a perfect god. So, you can think of it as an alter ego with only a portion of the power of the true body. âWe can handle it with our own strength.â
alter ego? Seora looked at Hephaestus. He made eye contact and nodded.
ãâI am not my true body, but my alter ego. That doesnât mean this land is an illusion, but my true body is somewhere else. We cannot descend on your land yet. It
was confusing. Seo-ra did not understand this situation.
âWhy have things changed? Why do Eucharistic bodies start appearing from the 8th floor?â
âItâs related to the 9th floor of the labyrinth.â
â9th floor? âWhatâs happening on the 9th floor?â
âUm, sorry. Kang Se-jun told me not to tell him yet. âI canât tell you because I think itâs better if you donât know yet.â
Seong Ja-rim firmly drew a line.
Labyrinth 9th floor. Not only Kang Se-jun but also Seong Ja-rim were afraid of the floor opening. What on earth is going on on that damn 9th floor?
âNo, then you can tell me at least what changes are happening in the dungeon?â
âsorry. I forgot about that. It happened so long ago for me. âIt was decades ago that we conquered the 9th floor of the Labyrinth in Baskar.â
Seong Ja-rim scratched his head as if embarrassed. Seo-ra sighed.
but. How can we remember everything that happened decades ago? Seong Ja-rim has not even had an easy time, and has faced death several times since then.
Seo-ra patted her shoulder and said it was okay.
âSpeaking of you, why is Kang Se-jun silent?â
âOh, maybe he doesnât know this?â
âwhy?â
Like Seong Ja-rim, itâs not something that happened decades ago, and as a returnee, itâs something heâs experienced many times, so why?
âI didnât even know that the dungeon was a planet in another dimension. Would I understand that there is such a causal relationship? There is a high probability that they will just know that the dungeon where the adult appears is a special dungeon. Moreover, the Holy Body does not appear in all dungeons.â
ââ¦.â
It was quite reasonable, so I had nothing to say. Do it. If Kang Se-jun knew about this, there is no way he would have kept it secret. After conquering the 8th floor, you must have reported it to WDO right away. This is different from revealing the 9th floor in advance.
âSo how do I close this dungeon? God said you were the owner of this dungeon, should we kill you?â
ãâYes.âã
In response, Seo-ra held the gun tightly. And with the words that followed, I lost my strength again.
ãâAnd we also have to kill the monster under the volcano. âYou have to kill all living things to close the door.âã
Seora looked at the bottom of the volcano with a tired face. Among the monsters that are connected to Mount Etna and Hephaestus, there is only one monster, Typhon. How could they kill a guy that even Zeus could barely kill?
ãâYouâre scared. I think you can do it.âã
Shinâs eyes turned to the pure white nine-tailed fox next to Seo-ra. There was a being watching from within that would make even God fall back and drool.
ãâI donât want to fight with you. Since it is an alter ego anyway, I am willing to die for you if you want.âã
He is the Eucharistic God. They are different from monsters or magical beasts that simply perceive humans as food. Those who interact with humans, sometimes make contracts, and help others also use the system.
Thatâs why no god wants to get into trouble with a system administrator. If the administrator excludes you from the system, you will never be able to receive access to that planet.
Of course, there are gods who despise managers, calling them the designerâs puppets, but Hephaestus preferred to have a friendly relationship with managers. He was afraid of a world where system administrators would be angry.
System administrators are not all ordinary beings. There is no way that people who have acquired the qualifications of managers, which can only be obtained by living for a long time and satisfying terrible conditions, are ordinary. Among them, there are transcendental beings who can easily tear and kill even gods.
Although their actions have been limited by their contract with the designer who governs the universe, this does not mean that their power has disappeared.
What if they risk terrible consequences for breaking their contract and unleash outrage on the world? Hephaestus never wanted to see the end. Especially since I have actually seen a planet that met a terrible end.
ãâDonât worry. That guy isnât that strong. He is just a weakling who was defeated by Zeus thousands of years ago and was trapped in a volcano. âYou guys can win now.â
Thatâs why Hephaestus didnât want to touch the contractor with the manager by his side.
âI think so too. âThis is different from the 8th floor of the labyrinth.â
Seong Ja-rim also supported his opinion.
The 8th floor of the Labyrinth is a world where the Apocalypse Dragon won the war against the angels and ruled the world. But Typhon was a loser here. That gap could never be ignored.
âAre you and Typhon the only living creatures on this earth?â
ãâYes.âã
âThen I will kill you. God has allowed it, so donât blame me.â
Hephaestus laughed. With a benevolent smile, Seo-ra asked him one thing before pointing the gun at him.
âGod, I have something to ask.â
ãâWhat is it?â ã
âDo you by any chance remember a person named Shin Do-won?â
Hephaestusâ eyes widened. His eyes, which resembled flames, shook greatly. Yes, those eyes that gave me a sense of déjà vu earlier had the same color as Shin Do-wonâs.
âDo you remember him as your child?â
Hephaestus sighed.
Shin Do-won is a former contractor of Hephaestus. Thereâs no way he wouldnât remember. As expected, his face was stained with sadness.
ãâRight. âYou are a child living in the same land as him.âã
âYour child is dying. âHe told me to take the last weapon he made by burning his life.â
ãâThe contract with me is originally based on a large price. I told him that in advance and he still chose to sign the contract. Do you criticize it?âã
âYou made your own choice, but would you point your finger at it? Iâm not that kind of person. âIâm questioning you as to why you left the dying contractorâs side.â
Hephaestus is one of the greatest gods in the world.
But I wanted to tell him to stand even if he got angry. Because I saw a dying believer. Because I know that he clearly misses God, even if he doesnât show it.
Thanks to the contract with the system administrator, Seo-ra understood Shin Do-wonâs feelings. If she were in the same situation, she would have been so distressed that she would cry. The person I considered my life partner leaves me and I have to live the rest of my life alone. What could be sadder than that?
âAre you abandoning him?â
ãâI didnât abandon it.âã
âThen why did you leave? You should have stayed by my side until the end. It was God who hastened Shin Do-wonâs death. In that case, you should have at least prevented me from leaving this world alone.â
It was a calm tone, but at least Seong Ja-rim and the manager knew. How does she feel when she says this? Seo-ra wanted her parents to die together rather than save the world and leave. Seo-raâs words hurt me now because I know it well.
âAre you planning on changing your mind right now? âYou can renew your contract.â
ãâIf you renew the contract now, it will only hasten his death.âã
âIf you donât want to change your mind, there is nothing we can do. Then give it to me instead.â
The attitude of extending a hand and making a request is quite confident.
ãâWhat?âã
âA way to save Shin Do-won. At least a way to extend your lifespan longer than it is now. âIt would be possible with Godâs nectar, right?â
The source of immortality. Nectar may not make Shin Do-won live a long life right away, but it will solve his terminally ill life due to arsenic poisoning. He is not another god, but a contract of Hephaestus.
âIâll give it to you, so please give me that. âThen at least I can tell you that God did his best for the contractor.â
There was no answer from Hephaestus. Seora, who was looking at him, pointed to the clothes he was wearing.
âLook at this.â
A black combat uniform that fits her perfectly. Only then did Hephaestus realize that he could feel a familiar flow of magic power coming from the clothes, and his eyes widened.
ãâThatâ¦âã
âYour child made it. Isnât it amazing? Does it make sense for someone with such potential to turn his back on the world at such an early age? He should live longer.â
The 9th floor of the labyrinth that makes even Kang Se-jun and Seong Ja-rim tremble with fear. And the monster on the 11th floor who was said to have killed Kang Se-jun several times.
To solve it all, what you have now is not enough. Stronger armor will require greater weapons.
And Shin Do-won is the person who can solve this problem. he needs it If she died easily, she would be in trouble.
âSo, please give me nectar. I will help Shin Do-won make more weapons and spread his reputation around the world. âI have enough strength to do that.â
Contractor of Earthâs only system administrator. And an L-class awakened person who is considered the worldâs strongest.
What she said was true. She was definitely someone who could make Shin Do-wonâs unfulfilled wish come true.
Hephaestus closed his eyes.
Shindowon. Did that child, his sore finger, set that contractor as a target to burn his last life? Without knowing anything, he chose a truly suitable person. He was still an upright and intelligent child.
ãâgood night. However, nectar, which is a new item, cannot be handed over to just anyone. There must be a condition.âã That was the
reason why Shin Do-won was not given nectar even though he knew he was dying.
Hephaestusâ finger pointed to the volcano. The huge volcano was shaking and lava was pouring out.
ãâKill Typhon. Typhon is a monster feared by all Greek gods. If you kill him, I will reward you with nectar.âã
