The dozens of warriors were currently in a fierce battle in the residence of Idun.

Their eyes were filled with murderous intent and the weapons in their hands were real but they weren’t battling to kill for real. It was only training that resembled actual fighting.

‘No, could this also be considered as actual fighting?’

The other legions also had training but it wasn’t as fierce as the one in Idun’s legion. It was because everything would end if you died even if you were inside the residence, and your soul would fly far away and become a Steel warrior.

The reason Idun’s legion proceeded with a fierce training was because of Scathach’s influence, that was the responsible for the training, but most of all the qualities of Idun’s legion was bigger.

‘It’s amazing no matter how many times I look this.’

Helga, that was the princess of Kataron a month ago but was now a lowest ranked warrior of Idun’s legion, turned to look at a corner of the training center. There were several injured people under a golden apple tree and their injuries were being healed at a really fast pace.

Idun’s divine power had a power to heal injuries as she was the Goddess of life and youth. Most of all they were inside the residence of Idun where the power of Idun was plentiful so if they lied down on places like that where the divine power was especially strong, their injuries got recovered.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say this but inside of Idun’s legion, you could save anyone whether they got their internal organs destroyed or their limbs destroyed, only if they didn’t die.

Helga looked back at the warriors that were still fighting fiercely. They were all doing their best in their training as they didn’t get any dispatchment orders.

Based on the words of their seniors, the normal thing would be to get dispatched about five or six times in a month but it was different nowadays.

They didn’t have any battles to do as the giants that were blocking the front lines of Asgard had all fled to Jotunheim.

In the cases of other legions, they still participated on battles to drive away the giants. The legion of Idun got ordered to rest so they have already been guarding the residence for a month already.

‘I want to meet commander-nim.’

Helga let out a sigh unconsciously.

The life in Valhalla wasn’t bad at all. The Valkyries were all strong and beautiful so you automatically felt admiration towards them and the warriors were all strong and had a good character. You couldn’t even see the dirty and vulgar profiteers you could easily see in Midgard.

The food was good and the environment was also good. The training was a bit harsh but they just enjoyed it as they could feel themselves getting stronger.

But there was only one regretful thing and that was that Idun’s warrior wasn’t in this place.

‘I thought that I would be able to meet him everyday if I came to Valhalla. Should I also apply to become a Valkyrie?’

There was a rumor that you could see him if you did something like a meeting and that he liked meetings more than anyone in this world.

Helga let out a sigh once again and turned to look at another place. She had just turned her head unconsciously but ended up opening her eyes roundly.

‘Heda-nim?’

The representative Valkyrie of the legion, Heda, was running hurriedly. By looking at the direction she was headed to, you could guess that she was going to the residence of the one in charge of the trainings Scathach.

What could have happened?

She was really curious but she couldn’t follow her because she was in the middle of training. No, even if she wasn’t in training it was rude to follow the representative Valkyrie without any reasons.

Helga let out a sigh once again and stood up. You had to increase your rank first to become a Valkyrie.

“For Idun.”

Helga spoke in a low voice and grabbed her weapon. She walked to the place the warriors were finishing their rest.

And at the same moment Heda breathed roughly. It was because she arrived at the cave, that was the residence of Scathach.

Everything was a mess. Her beautiful red hair was disheveled and her clothes weren’t trim.

But she didn’t have the strength to fix herself. She inhaled some air and then entered the cave.

“Heda.”

Scathach, that was sitting in front of a table made with polished rock, raised her head. Merlin was sitting next to her with a moved expression.

Heda’s breath became rough once again. The rate of her heart beat had increased so much she could feel like she could hear it.

“What’s wrong? Notices about Tae Ho? Did he write a letter or something?”

Heda spoke really quickly. Scathach had many things she wanted to tell her as she was approaching the table. She felt like it would be better to tell her the main notices first.

“It’s not a letter but we got contact of his doings indirectly.”

Heda gulped dry saliva. It wouldn’t be a bad thing looking at Merlin’s expression.

“What is it? What? Don’t pause and tell me.”

“Tae Ho has resurrected Erin.”

“What?”

“Erin has resurrected. It was a short moment but felt it clearly.”

The one that answered was Merlin and joy was filling his face.

Scathach spoke once again.

“I am the queen of the land of darkness and one of the kings that made the sentence of Erin so I can be sure of it. Erin has resurrected. And the only one that can do that is the successor of Erin, Tae Ho.”

In addition, the place Erin got revived was none other than Olympus. So looking at the situation it was certainly Tae Ho.

“He should be fine. No, i’m sure of it. That’s why he has also revived Erin.”

Merlin put a warm smile and spoke. Part of it was because he himself was moved but also because he wanted to soothe Heda.

“I don’t know how he has done that. Perhaps, he became able to do something we can’t even imagine as he became the master of Asgard. The conclusion is that Tae Ho is fine anyways.”

Scathach came to a simple conclusion and Heda let out a long sigh at that. She sat in front of Scathach and lied down.

“Heda?”

“I’m fine. I was just relieved. Right. And I got more relaxed.”

Heda spoke while still lying down. There was clear exhaustion in her voice.

Scathach looked at her for a moment. It may be her feelings but she felt leaner than before. Her face that was seen from between her red hair was pale and her eyes had lost light that it made her look like an ill person.

Heda wasn’t originally like this. She was a woman like the sun that was full of energy and vitality.

“Are you eating properly? What about sleeping?”

“Heda-nim.”

It was already the second time Tae Ho disappeared. In addition, this situation was worse than the first one in many meanings.

Heda raised her head slowly. She seemed to be making a forced smile with her dried lips and then drooped her shoulders.

Idun was also hurt. Heda and Idun said with the same feelings.

“I want to see Tae Ho.”

Her low voice was really watery. Merlin frowned in regret and Scathach nodded. She grabbed Heda’s hands and said.

“Right, I also want to see Cuchulainn.”

When would the doors of Olympus open?

What could Tae Ho and Cuchulainn be doing in Olympus?

“It will turn well like usual. Let’s go meet him soon as he likes it that much.”

Scathach cracked a joke with an awkard face and Heda, that was absent minded, laughed.

‘My warrior Tae Ho.’

Heda heard Idun’s whisper and turned her eyes. It was towards the direction the connecting path with Olympus was at.

Echidna spoke calmly.

The primordial Gods, the Protogenoi.

The ones that were born first.

“The Protogenoi and the world were born from the beginning of everything and the first void of Chaos. They are the ones that have existed with the start of this world- Olympus.”

The shapes of light that were inside of Echidna’s arms gathered into one once again and took new shapes. Echidna looked at the lights changing without rest and continued speaking.

“That’s why the Gods of origin- no, the ancient Gods the Protogenoi can be considered to be one with his world. The earth started with the God of earth and the night and day started with the God of night.”

When Echidna rolled her fingers, the shapes of light got divided into the sky, sea and earth. Several things started to grow from between them but then the sea engulfed everything, and a robust man wielding a trident surged up.

“The God of the sea Poseidon is certainly the God that is in charge of the sea as it is his territory. But it doesn’t mean that Poseidon himself is the sea. He is only the one that rules over it. Then, what about the ancient God Pontus? He is the sea and the primordial sea got started from him.”

The sea devoured the man. There was only blue light in Echidna’s arms.

The God of the sea.

The primitive sea.

Nidhogg blinked and gulped dry saliva. Adenmaha mumbled something in a low voice and then stood up from her place.

“Wa, wait a moment. Aren’t they closer to being concept Gods rather than personified Gods?”

“That’s right, you really are intelligent and you know a lot. Most of the Protogenoi including the ancient void of Chaos are concept Gods.”

“What are concept Gods? Don’t tell me they are Gods with a concept……i’m joking, joking.”

Bracky lowered his head and changed his words as the eyes of everyone stuck on him sharply. Siri represented them all and hit his back.

“There’s a time for everything.”

“Yeah.”

Bracky replied briefly and stayed silent and Rasgrid, that was still regaining her calm at this moment explained with a calm voice.

“Personified Gods are Gods with a personality like the name implies. They have emotions and are able to think. Most of the Gods we know are personified Gods. In the other hand, the concept Gods don’t have a will. They are existences that help the world to be maintained just by existing and you can call them as being pieces of force. Normally, most of the concept Gods possess a greater strength than personified Gods but they don’t have a will so they aren’t able to use it.”

“If you look at it in that way you can say that the world itself is a huge concept God”

Gandur frowned and nodded as Adenmaha added some words. She hadn’t understood everything completely but she got a general feeling.

Tae Ho reviewed what Echidna, Rasgrid and Adenmaha said and grabbed one fact from them.

“Echidna, you said most of the concept Gods, so does that mean that there are also personified Gods among the Protogenoi?”

“Yes, that’s right. Some of the Protogenoi are personified Gods. I am wondering that part of them are the voices that seduced Zeus and the 12 Olympians.”

The ancient void of chaos was a concept God. He wasn’t a being that wanted to maintain or destroy the world. Everything was a mixed sea of chaos.

But the Protogenoi that were born like that were different. There were some that wanted to maintain the world and some that wanted to destroy it.

Bracky, that was listening silently, raised his hand and asked.

“Um, so the Proto whatever are much stronger than the 12 Olympians? And the situation implies that they have become enemies.”

“That’s right, but that shouldn’t be the case for everyone. If all of them had turned, the battle would have already ended.”

It would also be impossible for Zeus to be resisting like this and no one among the 12 Olympians would have overcome the seduction.

All of the 12 Olympians would have turned into beings that wanted to destroy the world in an instant and an internal battle wouldn’t have occurred inside of Olympus but a war with Asgard would have started.

Echidna took a breath and then the blue light that was between her arms changed to become the size of a white and black baseball.

“The ancient Gods that were from the ancient void of chaos. One or two of them should be the ones that caused this.”

“But we have countermeasures, right?”

Adenmaha spoke suddenly.

She hadn’t said that because she shrunk down at the existences of the Protogenoi. Only a short time had passed but Adenmaha could understand what Echidna was thinking about.

SHe wasn’t the type to jump in a battle she didn’t have any chances to win.

If they were in a situation with no answers to it she wouldn’t have talked about the ancient Gods at all.

Echidna looked at Adenmaha and then smiled brightly.

“That’s right quick witted lady. If the Protogenoi are the ones that caused this shouldn’t we also pull the Protogenoi to our side?”

There wasn’t only one ancient God. There were several of them. And they could also be divided like the 12 Olympians.

“There’s a high probability for one Protogenoi to side with us. That person also doesn’t like Zeus.”

“The mother Gaia.”

Tae Ho said and Echidna nodded at his words that came out reflexively. She then added some more words as.

“The Protogenoi of the earth.”

One of the Gods that was born the first from the ancient void of chaos. The mother of all Titans.

“She is a being wanting to destroy the world.”

Echidna winked and then pointed at the ground with an elegant gesture.
