Episode 550
The 10 heavenly realms each have their own unique characteristics.
There were places where demonic dragons formed groups, there were places where the heavenly masters jointly ruled, and there were places where the heavenly master’s blood relatives ruled.
In that respect, the 7th Heaven, ruled by Odin, had all the unique characteristics of the 10, 9, 8th Heaven.
Like ‘Ra’, the lord of the 10th heaven, a blood relative born with great power symbolized force, like ‘Ragna’, the lord of the 9th heaven, he stole territory from the position of an invader, and like ‘Behemoth’, the lord of the 8th heaven, his innate power was shrouded in mystery.
The power of runes.
Although it has one innate quality, runes can create various powers depending on their combination.
Odin is the greatest wizard in the Upper World.
That is why he was previously called the worst talent in the commercial world.
He shared the vision of all absolutes through some kind of contract.
Thanks to this, I was able to know anything that happened within the 7 heavens.
Conversely, this also meant that his state could be shared with the absolute.
* * * [Vidar. The war situation is not good.]
Horde, the 7th Heaven Absolute.
He expressed his feelings without hesitation.
[Horde. I am also watching.]
A humanoid man wrapped in a robe.
The Absolute One called Vidar answered while keeping his eyes on the battle taking place at the bottom of the cliff.
Typhon Igmun Jormungand, Prince of the Underworld.
With their true bodies exposed, they were engaged in a fierce battle against the Absolute and Valkyries of the 7 Heavenly Realms.
Just three grand dukes are turning a whole heaven into rubble.
[It seems to be true that the Grand Dukes made a contract with the Underworld King.]
Vidar did not deny Horde’s words.
Otherwise, the current situation cannot be understood.
It’s not that I haven’t dealt with archdukes.
The battle took place mainly in the underworld, and even in a situation where the Absolutes were unable to show their true skills due to the spell of the previous Underworld King, their superiority remained unchanged.
I have also heard reports that over the past thousand years, the Grand Dukes have achieved remarkable advancement, and that a new Underworld King has been born through the recently returned Absolutes.
[It should have been dealt with in Middle-earth at that time.]
Horde said, unable to swallow his sorrow.
When the gods bloomed in Middle-earth.
The Absolutes of the 7 Heavenly Realms moved faster than anyone else.
He appeared in Middle-earth using runes created by Odin.
In the process, more than 90% of the force had to be destroyed, but it was a plan that had a good chance of winning.
The reason they were destroyed was because their prey was the same.
Even Odin came forward, taking some losses, but the plan was not successful.
[Succubus Queen and Dragon Lord. I never thought they would have written down the numbers…]
There was resentment in Horde’s voice.
[It is our fault for neglecting the place called ‘Earth’.]
[If only the dimensional gate had been connected first using the humans of Midgard…]
The Horde mentioned Middle-Earth, which is connected to the 7 heavens.
He knows it too.
Everything he says now is just an assumption.
There is no point in being tied to past assumptions anymore.
Midgard is the place that was most influenced by the 7th Heaven among countless Middle-earths.
The humans there had a culture of worshiping the Elyos of the 7th Heaven and the Absolute as gods. Among those who occasionally received the grace of God, the Elyos of the 3rd Heaven were Demigods.
A being similar to them was also born.
The chosen Middle Earth.
This was the reason why the gods of the 7 heavens were interested in Midgard, even while neglecting other places.
[What should I do? Earth is the birthplace of the previous King of the Underworld. Entry and exit is only possible in the Underworld.]
Kim Tae-hyun, who saved his life in Middle-Earth, awakened into a complete King of the Underworld, and the power of the princes contracted with him also increased dramatically.
He was even equipped with unprecedented recklessness to the extent of climbing to the top of the upper world and engaging in battle.
[Further assumptions are meaningless. The way to minimize the damage would be to somehow catch those guys.]
Many Valkyries were losing their lives to Igmun’s blood sword.
Thor and the Absolute both belatedly took Igmun’s arms, but recovered in the blink of an eye with gray magic power.
The power of ‘rebirth’ that Lucifer, the former master of the first heaven, was said to have obtained in the lower world.
Igmun is using that power as if it were his own.
[The proud princes shared power. The power of the King of the Underworld is also increasing, so if the war of attrition continues like this, it will not be good for the Heavenly World.]
[If we do that…]
[We will have to bring in Odin’s power.]
[…Will it be okay?]
Odin is currently in the Underworld. You are dealing with a king.
It was only a little while ago that I received a report that the nearby Absolutes could not even enter the barrier that had formed around it.
That means the battle is fierce.
[Currently, Odin is dealing with the Underworld King in personal space.]
[Oh… indeed…]
Horde’s blue eyes sparkled.
Odin’s personal space has enough existence power to withstand the existence power of many heavenly hosts.
On the other hand, it is an absolute realm where the opponent must experience a sharp decline in existence.
If you entered there, even if you were the King of the Underworld, it would be difficult to get out safely.
By now, they would be fighting using their psychic powers, so Vidar judged that borrowing a few of Odin’s powers would not be a big burden.
[…I will tell this to others. Vidar is using Odin’s power to participate in the battle…]
Vidar shook his head.
[no. To minimize damage, the most effective way is to discourage the Archduke.]
[What are you saying…?]
[Order the absolutes to pull back their troops.]
[…?]
[The King of the Underworld is telling them. This problem will end once we show defeat. It is not too late to push the archdukes back then.]
Horde’s face brightened as his doubts were resolved.
[Indeed… I understand!!]
Order after order followed, and the fierce battle stopped in an instant.
[Odin. Lord God. Your servant dares to reveal himself.]
Vidar put his hands together and recited a spell.
The interior of the castle where the celestial master resides was revealed in the wide blue sky of Asgard.
* * * [Hoo. Have you entered personal space?]
[Hmph. It might be an image world.]
[Hehehehe.]
The three archdukes gazed at the scene reflected in the blue sky.
Just a little while ago, it was difficult to imagine that he was fighting in enemy territory.
[The idea is to avoid a useless war of attrition. It’s not a bad situation for us either.]
In the first place, their role was to concentrate the main power of the 7 Heavenly Realms and create a one-on-one situation between Taehyun and Odin.
Now that everything went according to plan, there was no need to relax.
thud.
Typhon lay on the ground, looking up at his brother and his celestial master, who were motionless in the blue sky.
dump.
Igmun also sat down and raised his head to the sky.
Ssssss.
Jormungand transformed into a humanoid and sat down on a broken rock.
[This must be Vidar’s idea.]
[Vidar?]
[He’s like Odin’s alter ego. He can be said to be the actual second-in-command of the 7 Heavenly Realms.]
[Guy. You’ve been hiding that information well all this time.]
[Cluck, clap. Doesn’t information lose its power the moment it is shared?]
Tsk tsk.
Igmun clicked his tongue and looked at his motionless contractor.
Although there have been several tribal wars, not much is known about the 7 Heaven Realm masters.
This is because Igmun also has no experience competing directly with a heavenly master.
[So what do you think?]
[You mean the odds of winning? As far as I can tell, Odin’s personal space is the highest in the upper world.]
Igmun’s lips quirked up.
[Does that mean that there is a high probability that that arrogant contractor will be defeated?]
[You will have to wait and see to find out.]
It was a reaction that made it difficult to believe that it was their own contractor.
[You are looking down on your own brother. The end of personal space. Don’t you guys know better than anyone else about the ‘existence’ there?]
Igmun’s face, which looked happy for a moment, distorted.
Doppelganger.
A being that embodies the most ferocious power among the powers wielded by the previous King of the Underworld.
This is because the face of the guy in Kim Tae-hyun’s mental world came to mind.
[Tsk. Mr. Kim.]
[Don’t be too discouraged, Igmun. Think of the expressions those idiots will make in a moment.]
Igmun’s gaze turned to Thor, who was engaging him.
I thought of Loki, the Absolute One, whom I coveted when fighting Lucifer.
How strong can he become if he takes on the divine power of the guy who inherited the power of the heavenly master?
A very momentary letdown.
That much would be enough to drive a blood sword into a vital spot.
I could hear the murmuring of retreating Elyos in the distance.
[oh. Now, it looks like a decision is about to come to a conclusion.]
Different times pass inside and outside the personal space.
It would not be surprising if the battle between the Heavenly Master and the Underworld King had already ended.
however.
[Hmm…?]
[That…]
Unlike Taehyun, who is still motionless.
Kiiiii-.
The Spear of Longinus was being created in Odin’s slightly shaking hands.
While the faces of the princes hardened, the cheers of the absolutes rang out.
* * * ‘They say he’s the best magician in the upper world. It lives up to its name.’
Taehyun thought so as he watched Odin evading the maw of predation.
It was good to drag him into my personal space, but his response wasn’t bad either.
He chose to compete with Taehyun for territory in his own personal space.
Every time it was broken like that, each person took out a new personal space and was waging a war of attrition.
The time I spent inside here was about several years.
‘Has about a minute passed outside?’
Naturally, if time passes like this, Taehyun will be at a disadvantage.
Hahahahaha.
Odin, who escaped predation, took out a new personal space.
That alone caused the two realms to collide and collapse.
[King of the Underworld. You’re not giving your best.]
“It’ll be difficult if that part breaks down.”
[….]
It was said so naturally that it took a moment to understand the meaning.
[Are you going to try to capture God alive?]
“Don’t leave me alone. Let’s do something together with me. I’ll give you a decent reward.”
Kick. Ki kick.
[Giggles.]
Odin burst out laughing.
“Giggle, giggle, giggle.”
Taehyun smiled at me.
[I never expected to hear such words from the King of the Underworld… If the goal was to make people laugh, it was a success.]
Taehyun tilted his head.
It’s not.
“Are you serious?”
[The position of Master of Heaven is a position that carries with it a great deal of responsibility.]
Even if you show a frivolous side on a regular basis, that weight does not lessen.
[Quite a few absolutes shed blood. Now, you can’t just change your mind.]
“Isn’t that true?”
[What does a kid who has just become a king know?]
As he said those words, a light flashed.
The maw of devouring rising from beneath Odin’s feet dispersed like smoke.
‘flea.’
Since he is a celestial master, it is natural that he has strong military power.
However.
The most annoying thing is that it is impossible to analyze all of its powers.
Even though I adjusted my strength, the predator was unable to reach the guy.
Except for the first genjutsu, not a single attack is allowed.
‘If you decide to do so and use your power, there is a high risk that your mind will be broken.’
Controlling one’s strength against a celestial master.
Once again, I burst into laughter at my own position.
[If you shed blood, you should get a reward~.]
Odin continued his words and gathered brilliance.
“If this party caused damage, they should also receive fair compensation.”
[What kind of trick is this again~?]
“It’s a trick. That’s a shameful thing to say. I just thought it would be right to receive the ‘blood’ from the ‘owner of the blood.’”
[…?]
“Don’t pass the Vampire Lord.”
[….]
“That guy probably killed the most Valkyries.”
[What should we do?…]
“I’ll create a place where you can meet Igmun one-on-one.”
Odin made a bewildered expression.
“If you want, I’ll call you ‘directly’ to your personal space.”
Taehyun made an offer he couldn’t refuse.
