Chapter 1980 – 1980. God’s Atlantis
Somewhere far from all the world.
The gods, including Zeus, gathered there.
Not only the 12 gods of Olympus, but also Hades, the lord of the underworld.
Zeus had a new feeling when he saw the gathered gods.
In the past, heaven and earth have turned upside down several times. The relationship between the gods, whom they often met and talked with, gradually became thinner as the boring time continued forever. It’s been a really long time since we got together like this. It’s been so long that I can’t even remember how long it was.
We didn’t ask each other’s well-being.
Recently, the life of the gods is all there. All they can intervene is the specific human world and Atlantis. The human world is tired and fed up, so most of them focus on Atlantis. And the reason we gathered today was related to Atlantis.
Zeus stroked his beard and looked into the sky.
His contractor, Sung Yu-jin, was there. Saint Eugene heading to Mount Olympus in Atlantis.
‘Did I come this far?’
I remember the first time I signed a contract with that person.
When I saw that human, I was drawn to something. So I took the loss and signed a contract. That choice was right. Now, watching Seong Yu-jin’s progress was the most fun. Seong Yu-jin is different from other people.
“It’s been a while since we’ve been together like this. I never thought they would come together like this because of one human being. How much is this? Is it the first time since the Trojan War?”
Zeus got lucky first. Of course, since the Trojan War, there have been a few gatherings. It’s just that the subject wasn’t because of humans. This was the first time they had gathered under the theme of pure human beings.
“Useless words… Let’s get to the point.”
Hera, the former wife of Zeus, had a sharp voice. Zeus was startled. Zeus had a hard time dealing with his divorced ex-wife.
“It’s too early for that human to come in.”
Ares, son of Zeus, said. Ares didn’t like Sung Eugene very much. Because of Aphrodite.
“Is there any reason for us to intervene? He entered Olympus on his own. It’s not something we get together and talk about. I am here to keep an eye on you.”
Athena said. She was relatively friendly to Seong Yu-jin.
“That madman might dethrone Olympus! We must punish!”
Apollo shouted as he glared at Sung Eugene.
“He is a hero among heroes. He is a hero who even killed God. He will surpass Heracles one day.”
Artemis said as if foretold. Honey dripped from the eyes of Seong Yu-jin. Apollo was even more indignant at this.
“Haha. What a fun guy. It will be worth watching.”
Poseidon had no idea.
“There are many living people who will die by him and die by him. The order of the underworld is dangerous… So taking his life here would be one way. I will bear the penalty.”
Hades said. There were strong dark circles under the eyes. Although he was new, he was exhausted from fatigue. I could see how much he was doing.
“Why are you interfering if you’re not even a member of the 12?”
Demeter cleaved Hades. It gave off a similar atmosphere to Hera. Hades shut his mouth in front of his mother-in-law. From the moment Hades married Persephone, Demeter hated Hades. He almost hated it.
“Anyway, the work of Atlantis. Let him do what he wants.”
Said Aphrodite. She watched the mortal with her eyes full of interest.
The gods gave their opinions.
Some were friendly to him, some were hostile, and some were neutral.
Zeus raised his hand at the right time. The gods shut their mouths and looked at Zeus. Though with some diminished authority, Zeus was Zeus.
“I’m going to give him a trial.”
Zeus grinned.
Hearing the trials he thought, the gods were astonished.
“Why do you do that? Could that human be your hidden son?”
Hera asked.
“Absolutely not.”
Zeus, who made it clear before Hera had a strange misunderstanding, followed up and explained the reason.
“There is only one reason why I put him through such an ordeal. Because it sounds like fun.”
The other gods nodded.
Fun.
Okay. The gods want fun.
“This trial requires your consent. How about Would you agree?”
“There are conditions. If that human fails in the trial, you too should part with this Atlantis.”
Hera said boldly. The eyes of her glaring at Sung Yu-jin were very fierce.
“Oh oh! Very nice! Very interesting!”
Apollo liked it. He desperately wanted Seong Yu-jin to fail the ordeal. In the meantime, Zeus noticed, so he couldn’t intervene. What if Zeus retreated at this time? He will be able to annoy Sung Eugene with some tricks.
“This ordeal is not easy. That person can die too. When that person dies, it benefits the world. I agree.”
Zeus looked at Artemis. Surprisingly, she didn’t deny it. When Zeus asked why, she said as if Artemis was natural.
“I don’t think he’ll just give in to this ordeal.”
“He? Oh my little sister! That human is only human!”
“Shut up, little. Because I don’t want to hear that from you. Young men or gay subjects you like.”
“Oh, no. Little brother… !”
In any case, the decision was made to proceed with the ordeal.
Both the gods who hated him and the gods who liked him were intrigued. Even from the point of view of the gods, the opportunity to enjoy such a spectacle was not common.
All that remains is to negotiate with the system. No problem. It’s not a bad suggestion as a system either. In fact, the opinion of Seong Eugene, the party to the ordeal, was more important than the opinion of the system. If Seong Yu-jin accepts the ordeal, she says that all the system does is adjust the balance.
“System. We decided to give him a trial.”
“There must be a reward at the end of the trial.”
“Of course.”
Zeus nodded his head politely. The hero who overcame the ordeal must be rewarded. It is something that no gods acknowledge.
“And failure in trials has a price.”
Said Hera. She glared at Zeus to see what she didn’t like. Zeus pretended to be calm and passed his gaze. It hurts between my legs for some reason.
“If you fail the trial, you will have to get rid of that hideous constellation.”
A hideous constellation. Everyone knew which constellation they were talking about. The goddesses all nodded. Artemis was no exception. Anyway, that constellation was a bit like that.
“I will pass it on to him.”
• • •
I was in a wide cavity. There were 12 gods sitting high above me. 12 prestige gods led by Zeus. They stood still as they looked down at me.
‘What are you doing?’
Don’t you have to say something when someone is called?
However, far from opening its mouth, it hardened like a doll and did not move. Emotionally, it really felt like a doll.
‘Can this happen even if it’s not a real god but a prestige?’
I couldn’t see the 12 gods properly. Because the gods did not allow it. I was going to force myself to use Cheonan, but I gave up. There were not just one or two gods, but twelve. You can turn all 12 gods into enemies if you act as you please.
How many more minutes would it have taken?
Zeus opened his mouth.
“Human. I know what you came to Olympus for. We decided to give you a trial to see if you deserve it.”
Test.
Ears perk up
In this world, trials were opportunities for jackpots. Otherwise, it was a quest with huge rewards.
Of course, the level of difficulty is enormous enough to be called an ordeal. It is completely different from the missions given by the priests.
‘One of the ways to surpass the SSS level.’
I felt excited.
“May I ask what kind of ordeal it is?”
“I can’t tell you. That too is your ordeal.”
“Trials of Olympus
The gods of Olympus have decided to give you a trial.
When overcoming adversity.
– Obtain Astrafe (EX).
-You can use Hephaestus’ forge.
-Acquire control of one of the districts of Olympus.
When succumbing to the ordeal.
– Facing inevitable death.
-The constellation will disappear.」
I read the contents of the ordeal. What caught my eye was, of course, a reward. Astrafe (EX). It is certain that he is referring to the skill Astrafe. I never thought Astrafe would transcend its limits.
It was very exciting, but also worrisome. Because I didn’t know the contents of the ordeal at all.
‘It’s not a hundred thousand, right?’
In the worst case, it could have been an ordeal for the purpose of killing me, not for the purpose of the ordeal.
‘That possibility… Little. The system can’t be negligent. Judging from the reward, it seems that the real Zeus is also involved.’
“Will you accept the trial?”
“Will you accept the trial?”
The voice of the system and the fake Zeus overlapped. I confidently nodded.
“I will accept it.”
“Okay, human. I will see if you are worthy.”
Bang!
Lightning flashed in front of my eyes.
There was no pain, but I felt my vision getting darker.
I lost consciousness for a moment and regained consciousness. As I got up, I noticed something strange.
Something is strange.
I feel like my body is not my body. Everything from her breathing to her visual field of vision and even the subtle sensations of her body have changed. Not bad. Rather, it felt better.
I looked down at my hands.
It is certainly.
This is not my hand It’s a little bigger than my hand.
‘No way. What kind of body did he possess?’
I looked around. You can see the forest and the flowing river. I ran towards the river and checked my appearance.
I checked my face and was shocked. He was much younger than he knew, but this face was definitely his.
‘Zeus?!’
I became Zeus.
