Chapter 442 - Unreaching Voice (5)

“Kurgh, urgh!”

Zeus twisted and turned frantically. Blue lightning sparked from him and burned Odin’s hand, creating an instant opening he was able to take advantage of.

Jump!

Zeus desperately widened the distance between himself and Odin. He looked up at him as he panted heavily.

“Wh-why are you doing this?” he asked.

“Why, you ask?”

Odin looked down at Zeus with deeply sunken eyes. Zeus could feel the intense rage within Odin’s one blue eye.

Zeus flinched. He felt as if Odin had grown several dozen times larger. It was like facing a Titan, the creator of the gods. Chills ran down his spine.

‘Was Odin... this powerful?’

Zeus stared at Odin in pallor. He knew that Odin had fought the Demon God by himself far in the past, but he had never expected him to be this strong. Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com

“Kurgh...”

Zeus bit his lip as Odin’s immense power weighed him down. He drew out as much of his Divinity as he could, but the pressure did not vanish.

‘So this is... the power of a god with Top-rank Deific Essence.’

Zeus couldn’t believe it. He had seen Gaia in battle a few times, but the power he had felt from her was never to the extent that he was feeling from Odin. It was not incomprehensible; there were differences in power between gods of the same rank. Even Zeus himself was far more powerful than other gods of the same rank as him, so it was only natural for Odin, who was once at the pinnacle of Earth’s gods, to be the same.

Zeus gulped as Odin stared down at him.

“Did you just ask me... why?” Odin asked in a low tone.

Zeus nodded slightly. “I know that my mother has made a radical decision, but I’m sure you know why such a decision is necessary, do you not, Lord Odin?”

“...”

“If beings with Deific Essence were all left to their own devices, unimaginable chaos would—”

“So what you’re saying is, what you did was necessary?”

“Ah, yes. Hence—”

Wham—!

Air compressed to its limit smashed into Zeus, sending him flying backward like a cannonball.

“Kurgh!”

“It was... necessary?”

Boom. Boom.

The palace shook with each step that Odin took.

“It was necessary for Thor... my child, to die at the hands of that bitch?!”

Rumble—!

Compressed air burst, thunderous sounds ringing out. The walls of the palace cracked and began to crumble.

“Th-Thor?”

Zeus looked up at Odin in confusion. Gaia killed Thor? What in the world was Odin talking about?

“L-Lord Odin, please w—”

“Silence!!! How dare you run your filthy tongue at me?!”

Boom!

Odin stomped his foot. Cracks formed on the ground as if an earthquake was taking place. Intense gusts of wind poured out from Odin and weighed Zeus down.

Odin said angrily, “I... wanted peace.”

However, the peace he had in mind differed from what Gaia wanted. Odin wanted a world ruled by the gods; he wanted to govern the foolish humans who had lost their faith and restore the past glory of the gods. He was about to take the first step to that restoration by joining forces with Olympus to unite the gods of the divine realm.

Kang-Woo smiled gently. He could feel Gaia’s sincerity through her trembling hands.

“Good deeds... are bound to be rewarded one day. I am sure your words will reach Odin, Lady Gaia.”

“...”

Gaia wiped her tears as she was moved by Kang-Woo’s words.

Bang!

Just then, Uranus swung open the door and barged into the room. His face was pale and he was panting heavily.

“What’s wrong?” Gaia asked with a stiff expression.

An uneasy feeling ran down her back as she looked at Uranus’s pale face.

“L-Lady Gaia...” Uranus trembled, unable to finish his sentence.

“I asked you what’s wrong!” Gaia yelled anxiously.

She was nothing like how she usually was.

Uranus closed his eyes shut. “... Hermes found something in the Olympus temple a few moments ago.”

He then reached out his hands holding a box.

Gaia gulped. She could faintly smell blood from the box. The worst possible scenario passed through her mind.

“No.” Gaia shook her head. “Th-there’s no way. That’s impossible.”

She erased the imagination from her mind but she could already tell what was in the box.

“There’s no way...”

Gaia bit her lip as she reached for the box’s lid and opened it with trembling hands.

“A-Aaaahh.”

Inside it was Zeus’s head, his eyes wide open. There were words carved on his forehead with a knife.

- Gaia. You will pay for the choice you’ve made.

“A-Aaaaaaaaaahhh!!” Gaia screamed in desperation. She collapsed with her hands clenching her hair as if she didn’t want to believe the reality in front of her. “M-my child. My child...!”

Tears flowed down her cheeks as she embraced Zeus’s head.

Bang!

“Shit, shit!”

Kang-Woo slammed his fist down on the table next to the despairing Gaia, smashing it into two. He looked down in anger at Gaia who was hugging Zeus’s head.

“How... How could this have...” Gaia wept in despair.

“Lady Gaia...” Kang-Woo placed his hand on her shoulder. “Odin was... never interested in peace from the very beginning.”

If that were not the case, Odin would never have killed so brutally an envoy sent to propose a conversation. Kang-Woo bit his lip. His heart felt heavy as he looked down at the weeping Gaia. It felt as if his heart was burning. Tears trickled down from his eyes as well.

“Your will... didn’t reach him.”

The voice of a goddess who wanted peace... The will of the goddess who sacrificed herself to protect the world... was trampled by Odin to a pulp.

“Lady Gaia.”

“Hurgh, hurgh.”

“How long are you planning on staying collapsed like this?” Kang-Woo added more strength into his hand on Gaia’s shoulder and said in rage, “We have to stand.”

‘For Zeus, who died at Odin’s hands.’

“We...”

‘For the sake of world peace.’

“Have to stand.”

They needed to put their misery aside and stand.
