Patroclus looked at the fortress with a dumbfounded expression.
The shrine of Delphos was right across the walls so you could see the results of the fight more clearly from here than anywhere else.
The impregnable fortress that made you feel astounded just by watching it didn’t exist anymore.
Although three sides of the walls were still intact, the south gate that could be called the main gate of Delphos was completely destroyed. Being able to see the horizon that was usually covered by the walls was a really refreshing sight.
And there was nothing safe in between the broken walls and the shrine. It was obvious as five cyclops had run wild.
Patroclus gulped dry saliva and moved his head to the sides. He looked at the Cyclops that were collapsed everywhere.
Thunderbolt.
He had seen the fight with his eyes but the only thing that remained in his head was the thunder.
The big man that was with Idun’s warrior wasn’t only someone big.
Looking at him massacring the giants with his hammer and lightning made him look like the God of thunder Thor. No, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he looked just like Thor.
“It’s the best compliment.”
Bracky laughed and said but even his laughter sounded like thunder.
The battle of the female warrior, that used a bow as her main weapon, was silent compared to the big man. She repeated leaping and sprinting that was close to flying and inflicting fatal damage to the cyclops.
If the giant man was Thor, then the woman that possessed a marvelous bowmanship resembled the Goddess of hunt Artemis.
“That’s an excessive compliment.”
Siri gave out a hard answer compared to Bracky but it seemed like she was embarrassed rather than feeling bad looking at her wolf ears twitch. If you saw closely, you could see that her tail was also wagging slightly.
‘It’s also surprising that the two of them are lovers.’
Because it seemed like Bracky’s arm was thicker than Siri’s waist. It was a really big difference in size.
‘But of course, there would inevitably be a size difference no matter who stood next to Bracky.’
Patroclus looked at Siri and Bracky standing side to side and looked at reality once again.
The more than ten thousand monsters that had gathered in Delphos didn’t exist anymore.
Actually, only twenty to thirty percent of the monsters died in battle. Of course, that was still a big number but whatever the case thousands of monsters were still alive.
But they had lost their will to fight. No, they couldn’t have even grasp how many of them were left. They were only focused on escaping.
Patroclus empathized with them. The scene of a huge dragon breaking down the walls with rolling and the giants getting massacred was a wonder to Patroclus. So how would the monsters feel experiencing it directly?
“Are you okay? You don’t look well.”
Patroclus was surprised at the voice he heard and looked at his side. Gandur was standing next to him.
She also served Ullr just like Siri and but her actions and way of speaking were really bright compared to the comparatively calm Rasgrid and Ingrid, and she boasted of her stealthy movements as expected of a Valkyrie of a God of hunting.
He had been thinking of another thing but Patroclus hadn’t been able to notice her presence until she arrived next to him.
“I’m fine.”
Patroclus answered reflexively and turned to look at Gandur. It was because he had something he wanted to ask.
“Um…Are they especially strong even among warriors of Valhalla?”
His question was too direct maybe because his feelings got ahead but it was also that clear of a question.
Gandur snickered and shrugged her shoulders.
“The three of them are a bit special. Not all the warriors of Valhalla are like that and Idun’s warrior especially is a little more special.”
She wasn’t saying this only because they were top and superior ranked warriors.
It wasn’t only Tae Ho but Siri and Bracky also had many sides on them that differentiated them from the other superior ranked warriors.
‘Be it an abnormal growth rate.’
It wasn’t only about the exceptional case that was Tae Ho and Bracky, the best warrior of Midgard and a genius even in Valhalla.
Siri’s growth rate was also abnormal, only that the two mentioned before were too monstrous.
“It sounds weird but I feel a bit relieved.”
Gandur giggled as Patroclus smiled and said bitterly.
“This sounds really weird but I do understand you when you speak like that.”
Because a world that had beings above the standard was beyond imagination. If the ones that seemed special were really special, then he would be able to somehow accept it as it was inside the range of imagination.
Gandur snickered once again and then turned around lightly and looked at the shrine of Delphos. It looked similar to the small shrine but the difference in size was overwhelming. If the small shrine was a house, then this one was a palace.
“Will it take long?”
Gandur was looking below the shrine. It was because the place Tae Ho took Sybilla was the secret sanctum that was located underground. below the shrine of Delphos.
“It won’t take that long. It’s just a guess but…at most they will finish at dinner.”
It was a process to drive away the divine power of Artemis and recover the sanctum. It may have taken longer if it was a different place but this was Delphos. It was a land that had a strong power even among the sanctums of APollo. It would react to Apollo’s divine power immediately.
“Indeed. Let’s prepare the food then. You will help, right?”
Gandur pointed at the entrance of the shrine with her chin. They saw Adenmaha and Nidhogg litting up a fire outside the shrine.
“Of course.”
It wasn’t a normal thing to prepare a meal for a group more than ten people.
Patroclus was thinking of compensating what he couldn’t do in the battle with whatever else he could do.
“I like you.”
Gandur smirked and crossed her arm over his shoulder naturally. It was a really rude action in Olympus but it didn’t seem to be the case looking at Gandur’s expression.
“I also like you.”
“What? What did you say?”
“Let’s hurry.”
Patroclus got out of Gandur’s arm and hastened his steps and Gandur snickered. She shrugged her shoulders once and joined the preparations for dinner.
&
Nidhogg grabbed the food she was preparing stealthily and Adenmaha slapped the back of her hand in response.
Tae Ho, who was standing on the secred underground, looked at a distant place.
The secret sanctum, which was located in the middle of a big underground lake, didn’t give the feeling that it was under the ground because the ceiling was high and it was bright.
There was a roofless shrine in the middle of the sanctum, which took the shape of a small island, and Apollo’s statue was once again in the middle.
Sybilla prayed and had a ritual while kneeling in front of the statue of Apollo and the lights inside the sanctum started to move and gathered in the statue.
They would return Delphos, that had fallen in the hands of Artemis, to Apollo. And then recover Apollo’s strength.
Cuchulainn’s voice rang inside of Tae Ho’s head.
‘Hey, i’m curious about something.’
‘What is it?’
He was bored fortunately. Cuchulainn asked quickly as Tae Ho reacted quickly.
‘Why didn’t you do that today? You know, the golden apple tree. You liked that a lot.’
Because Tae Ho always created an illusion of a golden apple tree after a huge scaled battle. Actually, you could even say that it was Tae Ho’s ceremony.
Tae Ho flinched when he heard that he really liked it but he didn’t deny his words. He just gave his answer.
‘No one will see it anyways. It’s only a nest of monsters.’
He was also thinking of hiding the fact that he was a warrior of Idun but he would still get discovered one day. That’s why the reply he gave was closer to the answer.
‘So the Valkyries, Bracky and Siri aren’t people?’
‘They aren’t targets for the propaganda.’
They already had Gods they served and didn’t have any intention to converse.
‘Now that I see I’m curious of one thing. What will happen if the people of Olympus believe in Idun-nim? Will it be of help to her? I will have to test it later.’
It didn’t seem like Idun’s strength would be strengthened directly because the number of believers in another world increased, but he still had to try it to know. And even if the divine power itself wasn’t that important, it would still be useful if Idun’s influence got bigger in Olympus.
‘Scary bastard. Speak honestly. You weren’t a pro gamer or whatever in your original world but a missionary, right?’
‘Idun’s heaven and hell of disbelief. Let’s go together. We will yell Idun’s name in the middle of Olympus.’
Cuchulainn shook his head at the catchy slogan.
‘Hey, if you marry with Idun-nim I will have to serve the wife of my brother in law.’
‘Mm, so are you saying you can’t do it?’
No matter the case, it didn’t change the fact that Idun was a Goddess.
‘Anyways, you are already establishing the fact that you will marry with Idun-nim as being true. I already realized it when you said Idun, Heda, Idun, Heda saying that it was for the peace of the family.
Tae Ho also didn’t refute back. He just thought of Heda’s and Idun’s face instead of continuing to joke with him. He felt good automatically but felt that a corner of his heart got heavy.
‘The two of them…should be fine, right?’
‘They will be fine. Asgard itself is safe for now.’
The Magician King and the World Wolf didn’t exist anymore. They had also driven away almost all of the giants that had infiltrated Asgard so Idun and Heda won’t be in danger in Valhalla.
[The shrine of Delphos got purified with the divine power of Apollo.]
[Apollo has regained part of his strength.]
[Apollo is really happy.]
The voices were heard in consecution. It seemed like the ceremony had ended.
[You have completed the quest.]
[Your reputation has increased.]
[You got closer to the title ‘hero killer’.]
[Apollo’s blessing stays in you.]
[Apollo is preparing a weapon of the Sun God to give you.]
The rewards of the quest.
It was a bit different to when he rescued the small shrine.
Tae Ho turned to look at himself. The divine power of Apollo entered him just like the voice of the God had said. This situation wasn’t that unfamiliar for him as it wasn’t the first time he obtained a blessing of another God aside of Idun.
But the unfamiliar thing occurred after that.
He had absorbed Apollo’s divine power.
It wasn’t that the divinity of Idun that accompanied Tae Ho ate away Apollo’s divine power. He ate Apollo’s divine power to grow his strength and was another divinity that belonged to him.
‘Tae Ho?’
Cuchulainn called for him urgently but Tae Ho couldn’t answer. He concentrated on the divinity that was deep inside his soul and took his mind unconsciously.
And a few seconds later.
Cuchulainn came with his own conclusion when the time Tae Ho felt like it was too long passed.
‘Your divinity has gotten stronger. It got stimulated by Apollo’s divine power……no, did the reward of the quest become the growth of your divine power? You could also say that he has absorbed the divine power itself.’
Cuchulainn was a demigod only that he didn’t particularly show off. He wasn’t someone that would miss the changes that occurred in Tae Ho’s divinity, although it was really faint, as it happened next to him.
The growth of his divine power through quests.
It was a really exceptional case. No, it was doubtful if there were even cases like this before.
Tae Ho was the first warrior that was a God of Asgard and carried out the quest of Olympus.
‘It turned out well anyways. Your divine power will get stronger if you finish quests. It’s a clear structure. Let’s finish them all and become a proper God.’
Perhaps he would obtain a deity, that was the characteristic of a top ranked warrior, in Olympus and not Asgard.
Tae Ho closed his eyes and focused on his divinity. Tae Ho felt the thing getting along well with Idun’s divine power. He felt like a divinity of himself in the middle of Idun’s divine power got created.
‘What will my deity become?’
‘Is there something else besides ‘God of cheating’ for you? Kya, I was the one that thought about it but it really suits you.’
You couldn’t discern how much was a joke from him.
[Apollo wants to speak with you.]
[Apollo is going to send a divine message through Sybilla.]
The voice of the God was heard at a suitable moment. Tae Ho also wanted a conversation with Apollo.
But it was when he was about to approach Sybilla.
Tae Ho stopped his feet and placed his hand on his chest.
‘Why? Are you hurt anywhere?’
Tae Ho shook his head at Cuchulainn’s question. It wasn’t pain but something else. A moment’s feeling he felt deep in his heart in his divinity that was hard to explain.
‘No, let’s hurry.’
It would be meaningless if he kept thinking about it. Tae Ho cut all his thoughts and brought himself back to reality.
He approached Sybilla who was preparing the divine message.
