Long ago, the king of the Titans Chronos had relationships with his sister and wife Rhea and bore several children.

But he feared that someone that would surpass him was born among his children so everytime they were born he commited the atrocity of eating them whole.

Rhea couldn’t endure her children getting eaten by Chronos every time they were born so she asked for help from her mother Gaia and saved Zeus.

She had changed Zeus with a big rock before Chronos ate him.

Thanks to that Zeus managed to keep his life and grew up among the nymphs Gaia had chosen and became a really powerful God and thought about defeating his father Chronos that may one day seek his life.

Zeus got the help of his mother Rhea to rescue his brothers that were caught inside Chronos but they came out in the opposite way they entered so the one that got eaten first ended up getting out last.

Due to this, the ranks the children of Chronos and Rhea had were overturn completely.

The youngest Zeus became the eldest and the fifth, Poseidon, became the second and obtained strength and authority that was the strongest next to Zeus.

In the other hand, the eldest Hestia became the youngest and her rank and authority became the lowest among the six siblings.

But even if that was the case she was still the sister of Zeus. There was no one that could treat her divinity and deity lightly.

In addition, Hestia was a possessor of a really compassionate and virtuous character compared to certain Gods of Olympus. She also had looks that were so outstanding she received proposal from Poseidon and Apollo at the same time so actually there was no one that didn’t admire her.

That person said that it was a meeting with a gentle expression and placed her lips lightly on Tae Ho’s forehead.

“Shall my blessing accompany you.”

Hestia’s smile was soft and warm like the breeze in spring. He felt like his impurities were being cleansed just by looking at it.

‘Hey, are you okay? You don’t feel like you got purified and want to ascend to heaven?’

Tae Ho ignored Cuchulainn like usual and cleared his throat. He suppressed his embarrassment and answered simply.

“Thank…you.”

‘Hey hey, why can’t you meet her eyes? Huh?’

Because he was embarrassed. To say that it was a meeting from the start. In addition, to say that it was the thing he liked most.

‘Well, even if it’s true it’s still embarrassing.’

Cuchulainn’s words hit the spot precisely like always.

But it was at that moment. Hestia misunderstood that Tae Ho was suffering of the embarrassment and put a really sorry face.

“Master of Asgard, I’m really sorry. I should have prepared a place for you to rest as you have come after a fierce battle. Please forgive my unworthiness.”

Her voice clearly showed her guilt. Because of that Tae Ho felt guilt instead of her and spoke hurriedly.

“Ah, no. It’s fine. It’s not Hestia-nim’s fault.”

“No, I broke the turn of things because I was in a hurry. I will prepare a place at least now.”

“I’m really fine. There are many things we have to talk about the current situation of Olympus. I can put behind resting for now.”

As Tae Ho smiled awkwardly and answered, Hestia looked at that Tae Ho for a moment and then said while her eyes reddened.

“For the master of Asgard to think of Olympus like this……I can only be grateful to you as a Goddess of Olympus.”

It seemed like she got really moved.

Cuchulainn clicked his tongue when he saw her shed tears.

‘Hey, doesn’t your conscience hurt?’

Of course it did.

But Tae Ho just received the situation instead of suffering and rather found a positive point.

‘I’m glad anyways.’

‘What? That you sold your consciousness long ago?’

‘That she was registered as well. Is it because I became the master? Or because I obtained a deity? I feel like the completion rate is increasing better than before.’

[Goddess of hearth]

[Hestia]

He only had one meeting with her but the completion rate increased so much he felt like he could summon her right now. It seemed like his deity certainly played a big role.

In the other hand, Cuchulainn was dumbfounded at Tae Ho’s claim and yelled hurriedly.

‘Hestia-nim! Open your eyes! This bastard isn’t what you think!’

It of course didn’t reach her. Hestia tidied up her eyes with the handkerchief Tae Ho lent her and then put a bright smile to lead the group to their seats and started to speak after serving them tea she heated in the hearth.

“Master of Asgard, I will tell you what I know for now.”

Hestia spoke about the things that happened the past two months.

Two months ago, she left her secluded life and the world when she noticed the change in the mount of Olympus.

But there wasn’t particularly anything she could do aside from rescuing Hermes as she didn’t have any heroes under her.

But she still tried her best to change the situation to become better and didn’t just sit back and watch.

She had started to treat Hermes’ injuries and prepare for the days to come.

The shelter the Tae Ho’s group was led to was one of Hestia’s efforts.

When Hestia finished speaking about the past she started to speak about the present.

“The news about the death of Ares should be spread far away already. Sparta and the several polises under him must have been liberated. But I think that there is no one that knows that you have awakened as the master of Asgard.”

“Is it because it occurred in the underworld?”

“Yes, you are right. The underworld is the territory of Hades so there’s a high probability Poseidon or Artemis don’t know how and by whom Ares got defeated. We also wouldn’t have known about it if it wasn’t for Athena, who has a connection with you.”

You could say that the underworld was another world that was separate from the ground. In the first place, the reason Tae Ho could spread the ‘Hall of Valhalla’ comparatively easily was because he was at the underworld, a neutral region.

If it was like Hestia had said, they were in a really favorable situation.

But Tae Ho didn’t reach to hasty conclusions. There was something he was able to feel more clearly thanks to having become the master.

“Are you talking about Zeus?”

Even if the underworld was a separate world it was still a world inside of Olympus. There was a high probability the master of Olympus, Zeus, felt something.

Hestia shrunk her shoulder slightly at Tae Ho’s question and answered.

“It’s impertinent to say this……but even I’m not certain. If it was the usual Zeus he would have known of it but the current Zeus is in a really chaotic state.”

He did send Achilles to attack the group but he hadn’t completely turned into a being wanting to destroy the world. Zeus was still struggling desperately as the master of Olympus.

But he was in a situation he would one day turn completely. Because of that, they had to change the situation to become more favorable before thathappened.

“Artemis is currently violently attacking the polises of Apollo. Fortunately, the damages aren’t that great as Apollo ordered them to escape rather than fight back.”

Only a few days had passed since she started attacking but already quite a lot of polises and villages had passed to her hands.

“Poseidon is erasing from the world all of the polises near the shores. His dependents that surged up from the sky are invading the west with the monsters on the ground so the damages are overwhelming.”

Poseidon had continued attacking even while Tae Ho’s group moved to the entrance of the underworld. You could see that he had completely turned into a being wanting to destroy the world compared to Zeus.

“The army of Zeus has begun to move on several regions. They are gathering the army of the east so they will start marching in no time.”

What was fortunate was that Ares died and Sparta was liberated from him. Sparta, that should have made up the core of the army of the east, had floated up into the air so a considerable setback would be created in the plan of the enemies.

Tae Ho held his silence for a moment.

He had defeated Ares and awakened as the master but the situation was still bad.

All the Gods that had turned into beings waiting to destroy the world were strong and in the other side the Gods wanting to maintain the world had their divinities to weakened they could barely maintain themselves.

In addition the dominion of polises was also bad so they were in an absolute disadvantage in numbers.

But Tae Ho didn’t despair. Now that he had become the master of Asgard, the range of options he had had widened just like he had told Adenmaha. There were still things he could go.

“Hestia-nim, and Athena-nim. There’s something I want to ask.”

Hestia tilted her head at Tae Ho’s question but then stuttered an answer. She knew the answer and that’s why she replied to Tae Ho but it seemed like she didn’t know why he was asking her that.

But it was different for Athena. She knew the meaning behind Tae Ho’s question.

“It will be fun.”

She smiled.

&

Artemis frowned.

Four days since Ares died.

She made the troop that was attacking the polises of Apollo retreat.

The reason was simple.

‘Idun’s warrior.’

There were only two strong Goddesses that had legions among the several Gods of Asgard.

The Goddess of magic Freya and the Goddess of life and youth Idun.

He wasn’t Freya’s warrior so the conclusion that he was Idun’s warrior came up naturally.

‘He killed Ares.’

She couldn’t even imagine how he killed him. He was strong but he was merely someone that had just become a top ranked warrior.

It was more proper to think that Hades had killed Ares just like Dionysius had thought.

But Artemis thought differently. You could say that it was her sense as a hunter.

Even if Idun’s warrior didn’t defeat Ares directly, he would have certainly played a decisive role.

Idun’s warrior.

He killed Orion and Meleager. He made Delphos fall and massacred several children of Ares. He didn’t stop at deceiving Artemis but also saved Athena.

Artemis bit her lips. It seemed like her displeasure transformed into a snake and swirled in her body.

‘He will come’

It was proper to think that he would aim for her that was the closest now that Ares had died. It was also a method to recover Apollo’s divine power so he would certainly come for her.

“Set up the defenses solidly. Don’t slack on vigilance be it day or night.”

She ordered her heroes with the great hero Atalante at the lead. The monsters that entered her rank also took perfect defensive stance.

Artemis also prepared herself. She armed herself completely and then connected the power of her sacred force into one. She was confident enough intercept him no matter where he came from.

‘Come if you dare. This place will become your grave!’

Artemis clenched her fist under the bright moonlight and put a confident smile.

And at the same time, Adenmaha spoke with a worried voice.

“Um, there’s really no need to go to Artemis?”

This should be the most ideal time to attack her.

But Tae Ho shook his head. It was because it was indeed an ideal time to attack her but actually that wasn’t the case at all if you looked at the big picture.

“She must be raising her defenses solidly. Striking her when they get exhausted and their defenses slack is the most appropriate.”

There was no reason to touch a porcupine that has raised all of its thorns. They also didn’t have an urgent reason to attack Artemis.

“We should reinforce ourselves when she hasn’t gotten a hold of herself.”

Hermes was looking for Demeter and Hephaestus. They had to know where they were in order to be able to rescue them.

Hermes said that he would give them an answer at least in ten days.

Ten days.

It wasn’t short. It didn’t make sense for them to be playing in that time.

That’s why Tae Ho asked something to Athena and Hestia and could hear a satisfactory answer from them.

“Hydra.”

The venomous dragon that had strong poison, nine heads and regeneration powers that was close to infinite.

The hydra that defeated by the strongest hero of Olympus, Heracles,was buried under a mountain of boulders for hundreds of years.

“Poor.”

Nidhogg felt a compassionate pain and said with a teary face. Tae Ho stroke her head and clenched his fists.

“Let’s save Hydra. Okay?”

“Yes! I will work hard!”

Nidhogg nodded and resoluted herself. It seemed like she was about to roll right now.

Ad Siri, who was looking at the two of them, said with a low voice.

“I’m glad Hydra is a male.”

‘Right.’

Cuchulainn agreed and Adenmaha nodded.
