Chapter 1979 – 1979. God’s Atlantis
I called the villagers, now my slaves, to one place and executed 10 villagers from the second village who stabbed me in the back as an example. It was the village chief who led this work, as well as his family and relatives.
Executing the family together was quite efficient.
Even those who give up their lives easily hesitate when the lives of their families are at stake.
‘It’s not because I’m destroying the traitor’s tribe for no reason.’
Because it is efficient
I made threats under the guise of a moderate speech to the villagers and left the area.
The place they arrived at was Ropua, the mercenary town of District 99.
I met Norris, the broker. It was to crack down on Norris.
‘It’s hard to kill. There are too many mercenaries nearby.’
This wasn’t my zone and there were too many people. If you kill and destroy it for no reason, you will only attract people’s attention. Trying to do it quietly can make it noisy.
‘You don’t have to kill me. Norris knows nothing much anyway.’
Besides, since he was a mercenary broker, his mouth would be heavy. A light-mouthed broker won’t last long on this floor.
“Whoa. Are you here?”
Norris greeted me. His mood was not good. He averted my eyes. I had come to intimidate him, but rather, he was looking past me.
“I guess you know what happened.”
“I am the witness of the Shinigami contract. I didn’t directly break the contract, but I was hit to some extent. This is not the only loss. Of course, it’s not as good as Eugene, who was betrayed by the mercenaries in the field…”
“It’s kind of like that. The most trusted mercenary in this city is what it looks like.”
“… Sorry. If you want a new mercenary…”
“No, it is. I can’t trust mercenaries anymore.”
“I understand.”
Norris nodded his head without questioning. It was the betrayal of the mercenaries who even signed the contract with the god of death. It is rather strange to trust other mercenaries easily.
“Then the reason you came to see me is for compensation?”
It was because of silence. I hadn’t really thought about reparations. But if you want to pay for it, it’s different.
“Okay. As an intermediary, you have to take responsibility. I trusted you and hired the Omikos Mercenary Corps.”
“Whoa. I admit my mistake. I don’t have any cash or AP right now… May I offer it in kind?”
“Does not matter.”
He took something out of the drawer and brought it.
It was a pair of silver scissors. Luxurious scissors made of silver from the handle to the blade.
“Scissors of Death
You can quit anything within 1 year.
Rank: SS」
I raised my eyes. Because it was a lot better than I thought.
‘I thought I’d bring A-rank items at most.’
What an SS rank thing. It was so good that I doubted it.
“You’re giving away this much stuff just for something like this?”
“It’s not just this. Isn’t my reputation and Eugene’s reputation at stake?”
Norris stared at me with serious eyes. He was afraid of me He resembled the face of a warrior facing death.
‘You are afraid of me. Did you investigate me while I was moving to kill Fafnir?’
Maybe I’ve researched my tracks deeply.
Because it caused quite a lot of incidents and accidents. His whereabouts are roughly covered under the name of the illusionist, so not much is known about them.
I held the scissors in my hand. It was cool, but the grip was excellent.
“I like it.”
“I’m glad you liked it. By the way, if you use those scissors, you can also end the contract. It wouldn’t be strange to say that it was a contract between the gods of death.”
“Give me such a great thing. Isn’t it worth it?”
“It would be a lie if I said it wasn’t worth it at all. But even if I had it, it would be of no use to me. I got it three years ago, but I couldn’t find a situation where I could use the scissors. It will be of more help to Eugene than to me.”
“It will be very useful. And I want you to keep your mouth shut about this.”
“Of course. If this thing is known… It won’t be good for each other’s reputation.”
A mercenary group that made a contract with the god of death betrayed their employer. It was news that would hit the entire mercenary industry. In particular, Norris, the broker of the Omikos Mercenary Corps, could have his career built so far destroyed.
‘Ah, that’s right. This guy is on a shit line right now. If this is known, it will be the end for me as a broker.’
Even if the betrayal of mercenaries was common, the Omikos Mercenary Corps was different. Aren’t they a mercenary group famous for their faithfulness? In terms of scale, they are completely different from ordinary mercenaries.
I put the Scissors of Death in my inventory and stood up.
“Do your mouth well. Then we will never meet again.”
“Yes. Of course. The work of the Omikos Mercenary Corps… I’ll take care of it myself. It’s out of this world, so it’s relatively easy to deal with.”
“They don’t seem to think they are alive.”
“Because he must have been cursed and pursued by the god of death.”
I left Norris’s office. As soon as I closed the door, I heard Norris’s sigh in my sensitive ears. He pretended not to know and went out.

Before going to Olympus, I visited District 4, the AP store.
AP could be used here except in the special shop. Penny, the currency of Atlantis, can also be exchanged here.
First of all, I bought a lot of space movement orders. Although I am earning a lot of AP, it was difficult to collect AP because the AP I used was also enormous.
‘But there’s no way I can’t not buy a space movement scroll.’
In Atlantis, the space travel order was a must. Although the price is 60,000 AP per copy, having a Space Teleport Scroll can save you time.
Best of all, it can be used in other worlds as well.
‘Damn it. The price has risen by 500 AP compared to last time.’
As time goes by, the price of the space movement order is increasing. It was inevitable because demand was greater than supply.
In addition, I also bought other items.
「AP Shop Order Form
You can use the AP shop for 30 minutes when you tear the order form.
Rank: B」
It was a scroll purchased with 200,000 AP. A spellbook that allows you to use the AP Shop anywhere other than the AP Shop.
It was clear that I would not be able to come out for a while once I entered the Olympus area, so I had to purchase it as a must.
‘Because I might find something I need in that area.’

The road to the Olympus sector was not easy.
Because it is outside the Justia Empire area, people do not reach it at all. There was not even a roughly paved road. In other words, it is a situation in its natural state. In addition, there are quite dangerous monsters roaming around the Olympus area.
‘Since Olympus is an area that opens in the latter half of the year.’
Of course, I don’t think I can attack the entire Olympusek area just because I go now. This is because the original information also has limitations. The information I know is not even 10% of the entire Olympus area. There are more things you don’t know than you know.
‘My purpose is the forge of Hephaestus. I must not forget.’
It was best to achieve the goal and get out of Olympus.
I flapped my Valkyrie wings and flew through the sky toward the Olympus sector. It was several times, dozens of times faster than walking.
Mount Olympus can be seen in the distance. The mountains reaching up to the sky were huge enough to feel intimidating just by looking at them.
Gulp.
I involuntarily swallowed and was nervous. In addition to the sense of intimidation, there seemed to be some other power on that Mount Olympus.
‘I’ve felt this before. It’s divine power.’
It also has tremendous power.
“Kkiuuuuuk!”
A wyvern suddenly appeared with a scream. I wasn’t surprised Monsters could be encountered here at any time. Wyverns are no exception. Three wyverns drool and chase after me.
‘These guys. They recognized me as prey. Dare.’
After a long time, I took out the Hwaryeonbido and listened to it. Even if the blade of Hwaryeonbido was cracked right now, it wasn’t to the extent that he couldn’t defeat a Wyvern.
It flaps its wings and turns around. As if the wyvern already knew about my movements, it immediately moved away in three directions.
‘… It’s much more natural than I am.’
It was natural since they were the ones who could fly freely in the sky from the beginning.
‘Get away.’
Qurrrr!
A bolt of lightning fell from the dazzling sky toward the Wyvern. Even a wyvern could not avoid the sudden falling lightning. One of the wyverns is struck by lightning and falls to the ground.
“The master of the sky is watching you.”
“Kiuuuuuk!”
The two wyverns who had seen the death of their own kind let out a louder scream than before. The flight speed of the two also increased.
“Astrafe.”
Pajijijijijijik!
Lightning forms on the blade of Hwaryeonbido. The blue lightning suddenly turned into red lightning and wriggled menacingly. Opening his mouth, he swung his sword at the approaching wyvern. The wyvern, split in half, falls to the ground.
「Diligent Sabbath (僞) watches you.」
“The owner of 70% is watching you.”
Eyes are felt
It was to be expected. There can be no gods on this famous Olympus.
“Kiaaaaa!”
Height. The Wyvern, which had risen above the clouds, let out a scream and descended vertically.
Pajijijijijik!
Blue thunderbolts gather on the palm.
“The Mistress of Olympus is watching you.”
“The god of war is watching you.”
“The mistress of the warm hearth watches over you.”
“The earth-shaking cripple is watching you.”
“The moon hunter is watching you.”
「The Song of the Sun (僞) watches you.」
“Rainbow bubbles are watching you.”
“The blood-soaked flower is watching you.”
「Endless abundance watches you.」
“Light steps watch you.”
He pushed out a thunderbolt prepared for the wyvern rushing from the sky.
“Full charge.”
Intense lightning soared through the sky from the rotating bundle of thunderbolts. The lightning didn’t just pierce the wyvern, it went higher and disappeared.
Having easily eliminated the three wyverns, I looked up at Mount Olympus.
「The Olympus 12 gods are watching you.」
And I was pulled somewhere by an unknown force.
