Chapter 2003 – 2003. God’s Atlantis
Sitting on the throne, Zeus gently closed his eyes.
Even though he hadn’t directly encountered the being, mental and existential contamination was taking place. It suppresses and scatters pollution with the power of a god.
‘I hope it’s like this. It’s a tremendous existence beyond what I’ve heard.’
It’s definitely not a fake in an ordeal. He appeared as the main body and faced Seong Yu-jin.
“… I don’t understand.”
– Don’t understand Because I can’t understand either.
The creeping voice of chaos rang in my ears. Zeus narrowed his brows.
“Can’t you save Seong Eugene?”
-Unfortunately. Because he seems serious… Even if I go out on my own, it’s hard.
“Can’t I see what you’re doing?”
– Who dares to catch a glimpse of him. To him, it is the battery itself. He stays still if he doesn’t want to get angry. If you satisfy your curiosity, you will melt into nothingness as usual. At that time, it is not too late to move.
“Sung Yu-jin could die.”
-It’s something that caught his interest. If he satisfies him, he might even get a reward, let alone survive.
“…”
Zeus shut his mouth. Even if he wanted to refute, he didn’t know much about his foreign press.
「■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■”
The system, which had been broken only by the appearance of a great being, came up with a notification window. The lettering is broken, so it seems that it has not been completely restored yet.
‘… For a moment. Have you already restored the notification window to the point where you can recall it?’
Gods who created the system. Among the many gods, Zeus was in charge of the output part of the system, so he knew a little better about the system than others.
‘Have you focused on restoring the output that goes into Atlantis management? … No. It would be more appropriate for the other gods to notice and help restore the system.’
Clicked his tongue If the gods of other myths noticed, it would be a hassle in the future. I’m going to ask you some questions.
‘I’ll have to crack down on the other gods. I don’t know if the mixed traitor will secretly spread rumors. The identity of Hermes in the ordeal was a creeping chaos. Maybe Hermes really…’
The moment my head became complicated, an additional notification window popped up.
「Confirmed the extinction of ██████.」
“The myth has been completed.”
“The ordeal is over.”
“What?”
Whose demise?
There’s only one thing the system can do to represent a name that way. A great existence that can contaminate gods and humans with just its name!
“Is the system broken?”
Then things get a bit cumbersome. Atlantis could have had to be temporarily suspended. It was clear that if the system in Atlantis did not function properly, all kinds of gods would be messed up and ruined. I would have ignored it normally, but I invested a lot in Atlantis this time.
Zeus suddenly felt strange. It was because Nyarlathotep, who would normally have been offended by chatting on the sidelines, was quiet.
“Filthy tentacles. What scheme are you up to?”
-… He’s gone
He told the shocking truth in a playful voice.
“You are serious about disappearing from the ordeal.”
Zeus was not in a bad mood. He said that completing the myth means that Sung Yu-jin survived to the end. For the mere fact that he encountered the being, talked to it, and survived, Seong Yu-jin deserved praise. In the past, he would have invited him to Olympus and made him a god.
-His presence is not felt throughout the universe. The great nihilism is gone.
“… What dog shit are you up to?”
– I told the truth.
“You mean he passed on to another universe?”
– I would have said. That his presence is not felt throughout the universe.
“Didn’t you hide yourself?”
-Why?
“…”
Zeus had nothing to say. It’s because he knows better than anyone else that it makes no sense for that existence to hide from others’ notice. From the point of view of that being, humans are inferior to rolling stones, and most gods are inferior to passing dogs.
“Is it possible to disappear from the whole universe? Could it be that everything has become insignificant and has chosen extinction?”
Even Zeus sometimes wanted to choose extinction because everything was trivial.
-Extinction? Stupid guy don’t say nonsense You guys will never understand him. Just know he’s gone.
Zeus was furious.
“You idiot, you tentacle bastard. Didn’t the system just notify you? That existence is extinct.”
– Bullshit. The system…
Nyarlathotep fell silent in the middle. Zeus realized too late. The system is so convenient that I forgot about it for a while. The system was just a system. Even so, he did not have the strength to sense and be sure of the disappearance of the great being.
-Check the system. As the deity of mythology, you must have that authority.
Zeus stretched out his hand into the air. Electric current crackled in his five fingers. Access and check the nature of the system. It was an authority that only a few gods, including Zeus, had.
“Access from an unauthorized path. Access is blocked.”
“What?”
Paperweight!
Zeus approached again.
“Access from an unauthorized path. Access is blocked.”
“Access from an unauthorized path. Access is blocked.”
“Access from an unauthorized path. Access is blocked.”
No matter how many times I log in, the same notification pops up. Zeus looked at the system notification window with an absurd face.
“System! I’ll be watching! Come and explain!”
“There is no such thing as an explanation. As I said, it is an access from an unauthorized path.」
“You know I have that right, right?”
“You do not have any authority in relation to me.”
“You? I’m pretty sure it’s broken somewhere. I will fix it myself.”
Paperweight!
Lightning flashes around Zeus. He intended to use his powers to forcibly tear the surface of the system and access the core to repair the broken parts.
Ting!
Zeus’ lightning bounced off.
‘What. Am I dreaming?’
“Forced interference with the system has been confirmed. The Shinjwa cannot forcibly interfere with the system under any circumstances.”
「Penalty will be imposed on the owner of the sky who broke the rules of Atlantis.」
「For the next 100 days, the owner of the sky is restricted.」
Zeus felt his strength rapidly diminish as if he had been banned.
“What crazy! How dare you!”
It was time for Zeus, who was enraged, to raise his power. Nyarlathotep’s groans were heard.
– That’s nonsense. Did He really choose annihilation… What did you realize through that person?
“Nyarlathotep! Did you cheat on the system?!”
– Stupid bastard. In any country, that is impossible. The system was permeated with the power of Him who died.
“Is that existence really extinct? Then why did power permeate the system?”
-It’s what he ordained.
“So why?”
– I don’t know.
“…”
– Hehe. Anyway, even the gods can’t tamper with the system. I didn’t like that you and some other gods took advantage of the loopholes in the system to eat them… That’s great.
“During the review and examination of the ordeal, an unauthorized intervention of the creeping chaos was detected.”
「I sanction the creeping chaos and its avatar.」
-That’s already in the past!
“Joy. It’s ugly.”
Zeus laughed at Nyarlathotep.
But that’s for a while. Soon after, Zeus asked Nyarlathotep.
“If that existence is annihilated, what will be the aftermath? Since such an existence has disappeared, there must be an aftermath. Aren’t old things going crazy?”
-I do not know. Because I had never thought of anything like this. In the first place, he had no interest in this matter… I guess I won’t have to worry too much about the aftermath. I’m going to go because I have something urgent to do.
Nyarlathotep’s presence disappeared. Zeus clicked his tongue and rose from his seat. He needed to clear the other gods of confusion.
However, contrary to expectations, the other gods of Olympus did not fall into confusion.
“I was wondering how things would go… Looks like it worked out. Good job, Zeus.”
Poseidon glared at Seong Eugene on the screen and said to Zeus.
“There was a twist at the end, but… Well organized.”
Hades nodded as well.
“Myth is complete. I never thought I would conquer the north… There is no such thing as a perfect myth. It was a bit violent, but that’s how Shinhwa is in the first place… I acknowledge overcoming the ordeal.”
Hera, as always, spoke in a cold manner.
Other gods of Olympus also expressed their opinions. Everyone admitted to clearing the ordeal. Even if he didn’t like Seong Yu-jin, he couldn’t ignore her actions.
‘The story is all focused on trials.’
Zeus carefully scooped them up.
“The existence appeared and was destroyed, but can it be said that it overcame the ordeal?”
“Who will take care of that existence? I think it’s over from the moment that existence appears. It is actually over.”
Hermes answered in a bright voice. The other gods nodded as if in sympathy.
‘… I know that the existence has appeared and the ordeal is over. The other gods don’t know what happened after that.’
Apparently, Seong Yu-jin hadn’t been seen since the system was cut off. The gods knew it as the end of their ordeal.
‘I was able to see it because I was connected to Sung Eugene.’
It was possible because Sung Eugene was in the body of Zeus. In the case of Nyarlathotep, he was able to get a glimpse of it because he made a pact with Zeus.
Even then, the scene where Sung Yu-jin and the being had a conversation was unknown.
‘Anyway, it’s fine if you don’t know.’
It was not for nothing that they said that not knowing was medicine. Doesn’t the system look fine on the outside? Zeus decided to keep his mouth shut.
“Since that human has completed the ordeal, he must be properly rewarded.”
Zeus solemnly declared.
“You are saying it for granted. Did you think you wouldn’t?”
Hera’s pinzan flew. Zeus coughed and tried to ignore it.
Zeus remembered Hera in her ordeal. Hera seemed cold but strangely soft. However, the real Hera was glaring at her with an extremely cold gaze.
