Chapter 1967 – 1967. God’s Atlantis
Forge of God.
In this rugged Atlantis, not only personal strength, but also the power of the weapon you have is important. In that sense, there were few people who would not be interested in hearing the name of God’s Forge.
“I was suspicious at first. It was so out of the blue that the rumor spread.”
“It doesn’t seem like it was just a rumor.”
“I can’t do that. Isn’t this Atlantis overflowing with gods? God’s forge appeared? Even if you have doubts, you have no choice but to understand. Because this is Atlantis.”
“Have you confirmed the rumors?”
“I couldn’t. I don’t know who had a hand behind the scenes, but the rumors disappeared at some point. I didn’t even think to check the rumors because I was working on my family at the time. To be honest, I wasn’t very interested.”
“Is that all? It’s not really useful information for me.”
“When you are here, information often rolls in on its own. Rare information is valuable in itself. People who want to look good to me line up to give me information.”
That statement may be correct, but there must also be an intelligence group that Baldert runs separately. To be honest, it didn’t matter what Elena did behind her back.
“The rumors were true. Indeed, the forge of God appeared. However, it was forgotten because I didn’t know the area where the god’s forge was located and how to enter that area.”
“Where is that district?”
“Olympus. If there is a forge of Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths, is there any other place besides that?”
“…”
Olympus.
In Atlantis, where countless gods exist, the name was never light. Olympus is like the home of the Greek gods. Isn’t the owner of the heavens who signed a contract with me right away the owner of this Olympus?
“… What area of Olympus is the god’s forge?”
Olympus, like Hell, was divided into several districts.
“Are you thinking of entering the Olympus sector? It’s not to the point of being reckless.”
“I’ve been to Hell, but I wonder if Olympus is different.”
“Area 4016, flowing steel. Area 4000, inside Mount Olympus. To get there, you have to cross Mount Olympus. And as you know, Olympus is an unexplored territory. It is not known what the conditions for entry are.”
“It is not known, but there are legions that have been tried. The name Olympus itself makes me feel enormous.”
“Yes. However, none of those who entered Olympus ever returned. It’s a hellish place. Are you really going there?”
“Of course.”
“Looking at his confident appearance, he seems to know how to attack Olympus.”
Olympus appeared in the middle and late stages of the original work. At that time, the method of entering Olympus will be revealed to all of Atlantis in some way. As a result, they try to attack Olympus from large Legions to small and medium Legions.
As it was a fairly important episode, there was a lot of information about the Olympus area that I knew.
“Elena. When the two of us join forces, Olympus is nothing.”
“Sorry, but I can’t help you. Because… I am busy.”
Elena lifts her upper body and takes a sip of her wine. Her eyes fell on her undulating chest and her slim waist.
‘Where is the busyness?’
No matter how you look at it, it was relaxing.
“This free time is only now. Family work is also work, but the boss called me. They found an artifact and they said they need my help.”
If it’s a boss, I’m talking about Helten’s boss.
“Relics? Are you attacking a new area?”
“It’s stealing the Legion’s thing.”
It seemed like he was doing something bad.
Since Helten was originally a criminal organization, it was not unusual. Rather, it’s been so quiet lately that it’s time to start thinking about it.
“Why don’t you wait a bit and ask Helten for help? Since it is Olympus, Helten will be interested in it.”
“It’s okay. Olympus is as dangerous as there is plenty to eat. You cannot share it with others.”
“Can you share with me?”
“Of course!”
Elena smiled and handed me a wine glass. It was wine she drank halfway through, but she didn’t mind.
The wine tasted heavenly.

Playground of the Gods, Atlantis.
In keeping with its reputation, there were temples dedicated to the gods all over Atlantis. Of course, not all gods have temples.
Only some gods worshiped by people can become the masters of the temple. And most of those gods are very famous, or gods who are of practical help to the outcasts.
District 32, Hamst, City of Hammers.
In this city where the sound of hammers never ceased, there were temples of the blacksmith gods including Hephaestus. The blacksmith gods are not only respected and trusted by blacksmiths, but also respected by people of other professions. From farmers to warriors. Because there is no one who does not use iron.
Kang! Kang! Kang!
With the background sound of hammers coming from here and there, we headed towards the center of the city. Among the many temples, I entered the temple of Hephaestus. The temple was managed by a middle-aged blacksmith with a rugged body. Blacksmiths take turns managing the temple every day.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen your face. I guess I’m a foreigner… If you’ve come to ask Hephaestus directly for arms, get rid of it. It’s for you If you are disrespectful to God, you will be punished.”
“Whether I receive divine punishment or not, what does it have to do with you?”
“… This is a guy who doesn’t have a lot of cheap things. I was worried about you, so I told you… Tsk. Pay the entrance fee and go inside. Hephaestus will make a corpse for you today.”
“Don’t talk to me casually because you look gay. Are you going to take responsibility if people see me as gay?”
“This guy! Are you insulting me now?!”
“I’m not insulting, I’m just telling the truth.”
He took out a hammer from his waistband and raised it. Either that or not, he went into the temple. He couldn’t swing the hammer at me. Because it was a temple. A fight in a holy shrine? That was enough reason to incur God’s wrath. Although for the same reason I couldn’t kill him either.
“Stop! Pay the entrance fee and enter!”
“Since when did the temple belong to you? Even if you pay the entrance fee, it is right to pay it to God. Making money using God… Fallen baby. If I were a god, I would have punished you.”
“The entrance fee to the temple is the minimum management fee!”
I stopped him and entered the temple. He couldn’t enter the temple after me. He could inadvertently enter the temple and incur the wrath of the gods.
Inside, there was a statue of a crippled middle-aged man holding a hammer. It is a statue representing Hephaestus. In front of the statue was an altar for offering offerings.
“Hephaestus. I am here.”
Originally, even if offerings were made, the gods would not respond. Unless it’s a very special tribute.
But now I was receiving Hephaestus’ mission. It means you’re getting his attention.
‘And my contract god seat is Zeus.’
Zeus was the supreme god in Greek mythology and the father of Hephaestus.
‘Also, Hephaestus is one of the few gods in Greek mythology who never gets into trouble.’
The statue shines softly. The light continued to gather in the two eyes of the statue.
– He said he didn’t care. It was like seeing my father when I was young.
The voice of Hephaestus echoes from the statue.
Originally, you had to go through the system to talk to the gods, but this was an exception because it was the temple of Hephaestus.
“It made me feel dirty, so I was angry without knowing it. Was it someone you cared about?”
– He is just one of the children following me.
Hephaestus said nonchalantly. Hephaestus probably wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow if I killed him. For God, all but a few special humans are there. Even the mild-tempered Hephaestus is no exception. He is a god too
-It was good that you didn’t make a fuss in my temple. No matter how much you dared to make a fuss in my temple, I would not have forgiven you.
“So it moved quietly.”
I was thinking of killing that gay bastard on the way out… Decided to endure Hephaestus openly warned him, but he could not ignore it.
-What did you come for? He probably didn’t even find the furnace.
“Have you been watching me?”
-Many gods are paying attention to you. Looking at you, someone is interested, someone is concerned, and someone is feeling joy.
“Which one is Hephaestus?”
– Interesting. A human like you is the first. It was quite a taste to watch. I’m not here to ask that question. Now tell me your business If you have come to seek help or advice regarding a mission, turn around and leave the temple.
“No. The second mission condition, the byproduct of the dragon, was obtained by chance. I came to see if I can use this as a material.”
Dragons from another world.
What if it is different from this world? If you confidently present your materials later and get rejected, the work becomes more troublesome. So I came here to be confirmed by Hephaestus. It’s not like it’s taking a long time because of the space transfer order.
Take dragon by-products from your inventory. Large pieces of meat. Contrary to its appearance, it was in good condition because it was carefully preserved.
-Is this a dragon? Hmm. I can feel the power similar to that of a dragon.
“Can I use it as an ingredient?”
– Can be used. However, as a blacksmith, I don’t want to use it when making my own weapons.
“Are you that bad?”
-Okay.
I frowned and took the dragon byproducts back into my inventory.
The annoyance of having to find new dragon by-products has come, but it’s about repairing and strengthening my beloved Hwaryeonbido. I couldn’t do it roughly.
-Are you ready for the third condition?
“Do I have to pick just one?”
– Too much is worse than not enough. Curious, take out a few. I wonder what you brought.
“Are there any other gods here?”
-This is my temple. Who would dare to peek into the temple of a god? However, your contract account is an exception. In Atlantis, contract trustees receive certain preferential treatment in matters related to contract holders. He is still watching over you.
Since the king of the demonic sky could not be called him, it meant that the owner of the heavenly sky was watching me.
Well, since it’s not the master of the sky, Hephaestus, or a god who doesn’t talk, it probably doesn’t matter.
I took out the prepared items from my inventory. No, it poured out.
