The place we arrived at by boat was not far away.
The place we arrived in less than two hours was a mansion on the 98th floor.
“Are we already here?”
Yuwon, who came out to the bow, looked down at the mansion with a fairly large garden and asked.
I thought it would go down further, but it’s already arrived. It looks like it wasn’t going to Asgard’s territory.
‘If it’s the 98th floor… … Where Olympus’ influence extends.’
Yuwon’s gaze turned to Zeus, who was standing with his back turned.
‘First of all, did you come to the nearest place?’
After the fight with Shub Niguras, it was a known fact that Olympus and Asgard had become quite close.
But still, it is a small mansion like this that the two leaders of two large guilds came together to visit.
Sigh-.
Zeus, who was looking down the bow, turned around.
I don’t know what he was thinking the whole time, but he looked at Yuwon again and had a puzzled expression on his face.
“It’s strange.”
“what?”
“For some reason, it looks the same.”
“So what is it?”
“You were different every time we met again. A lot of that too.”
Zeus remembered the first time he met Yuwon.
At first, he had a hard time blocking even a single lightning strike. But then, and then again. So many times passed until the last time we met.
Yuwon continued to change.
however.
“A year is not a long time, but it must have been different for you. But what now? “Have you been hanging out somewhere for a year?”
“Are you disappointed?”
“Disappointment?”
Zeus seemed somewhat angry.
Above his seemingly expressionless face, his always calm eyes were burning even more than when he fell from the throne.
“no. I’m regretting it. “I feel like it was a waste of time to come here to meet someone like you.”
Jeopuk, Jeopuk-.
Zeus said those words and entered the ship. He responded as if he had no further business.
It was my first time seeing Zeus talk so much. He didn’t know him very well, but he must have been really angry to see him talking so much.
“Don’t worry too much.”
Sssssssssssssssssssss-.
As the ship slowly reached the ground, Odin approached.
“He is the one who has been looking for you the most for the past half year since I stopped hearing from you. “I don’t know about you, but I’m sure you were worried.”
It may have been a comforting remark, but Yuwon snorted as he watched Zeus walking away.
“worry?”
Looking at this, I thought that Odin didn’t know Zeus very well yet.
No, maybe she had gotten to know him too well.
“He’s not the type of guy to do something like that.”
Zeus was a rational guy.
Zeus was the one who could use even his own blood for his own purposes like no other. It was impossible for him to be worried about himself, even though he was not related to him.
Yuwon looked at the spot where Zeus had disappeared.
‘That’s strange.’
It was only one year.
But why on earth was he so angry?
Just like a person who doesn’t have much time.
Meanwhile.
“It has arrived.”
thud-.
A boat carrying three people arrived at its destination.
* * *
Kiyi-.
Zeus entered the small room provided in the ship and lay down on the bed.
Although not as tall as Hercules, Zeus was also quite tall. He lay down roughly on the relatively small bed and looked up at the ceiling.
-Are you disappointed?
Yuwon’s words remained and echoed in my mind.
No. Although he said he regrets it.
‘… … I regretted it because I was disappointed.’
And the reason was, of course, because I had high expectations.
But he hasn’t changed at all from a year ago.
‘Did they just keep playing and eating?’
Zeus thought so for a moment and shook his head.
‘I don’t think so.’
Then why?
Of course, most people who became rankers were bound to face a wall at some point. Zeus was like that too, and he broke the wall that appeared before his eyes several times.

But until now, it seemed like such a wall did not exist for Yuwon.
‘… … ‘This is troublesome.’
Zeus stretched his hand upward.
A hand covering the ceiling light. Strangely enough, the hand was not able to block all the light shining from the light.
Blurry-.
Hands slowly blurring.
To hold it, Zeus strengthened his grip.
Wow-.
The shape of the hand returned to its original state. Even if I lost my concentration just a little bit, I was in this state.
How much longer can I endure?
Slur-.
Eyelids become heavy.
I thought the uncomfortable and narrow bed would have been a little better, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
A beast came upon my mind. Suddenly, a thought occurred to me.
‘How long has it been?’
The thoughts of Zeus, who woke up to avoid falling asleep, continued.
‘Not sleeping.’

Yuwon followed Odin into the mansion.
It was a fairly large and spacious mansion. It wasn’t flashy, but it was still quite clean, and there were almost no signs of people living there.
“Whose house is this?”
A house, not a castle.
The question he asked was why he was brought to a place like this.
“They say it’s the home of the most beautiful woman in Olympus.”
“Aphrodite?”
“And then there was her too.”
Odin smiled slightly, as if he had now remembered.
Aphrodite was a ranker with such a beautiful appearance that it was jokingly said that half of her ranking came from her face.
Naturally, people did not hesitate to mention Aphrodite when choosing the most beautiful person not only in Olympus but also in the tower.
But you’re not that kind of Aphrodite.
“I heard there’s someone waiting for you.”
“me?”
“policy-!”
It was a somewhat familiar voice.
Yoo Won’s gaze turned to the end of the hallway at the sound of a cry that was not only joyful, but even sorrowful.
And there.
Hwiik-.
Someone flew towards Yuwon.
Wow!
It was a fairly heavy shock. I didn’t feel any hostility, so I didn’t apply any force and the body just fell over.
It was so powerful that you could almost believe it was a female Hercules.
She is right.
“… … “Pandora?”
“Come, Yuwon.”
Pandora smiled brightly.
Unlike before, when she wasn’t very dressed up, her scarlet hair was neatly combed and her expression was much more relaxed.
Pandora was like a flower blooming in the desert. The whole world seemed like a barren sandy desert in front of her.
Only then did Yuwon understand why Odin called her ‘the most beautiful woman in Olympus.’
“heavy.”
“Are you going to run away again?”
“I never ran away.”
“there is.”
“doesn’t exist. “You have to be tied up somewhere before you can run away.”
“Next time you want to go somewhere, tell me.”
“… … ?”
Yuwon was trapped underneath Pandora and looked at her with puzzled eyes.
“why?”
Pandora asked a question during a momentary pause in conversation, and Yuwon answered.
“I wanted to talk a little longer.”
The Pandora that Yoo Won remembers had a change in facial expression and was also slurred in speaking.
But now it was a little different.
There was a change in facial expression and the speech was quite long.
It felt like a doll that moved without emotion had become a person.
“no?”
“no.”
How could you not like it?
“It’s much better. So, let me get up now.”
Sigh-.
As Yuwon got up, Pandora stepped aside.
I just barely thought to get out of the way like that.
Wow-.
A grip strong enough to crumple or tear clothes.
Although it only had two fingers, Pandora’s grip was strong enough to crush a rock.
The will to never let go.
“I’m not going anywhere. “At least today.”
Slur-.
With those words, Yuwon made Pandora let go of his hand. I was grateful for lending her a place, but that didn’t mean I could keep her around.
Yuwon looked around the inside of the mansion with fresh eyes and asked. I thought that a mansion of this size would be expensive.
“Is this the house provided to Pandora by Olympus?”
“Now she is a high ranker representing Olympus. “There is nothing strange about giving it a castle rather than a mansion like this.”
Pandora’s ranking rose steeply. Unlike her past when she was sealed by Zeus, she was now free from her seal and her imperfect spirit was coming back little by little.
Pandora’s ranking, which had risen in this way, reached double digits and was now just below Hades.
“I guess the reason you came here was to make me meet Pandora.”
“She was looking for you a lot. “I don’t know why.”
“I guess he thinks he owes me a debt.”
“You did say that. He said you saved him. But it doesn’t seem like he’s just looking for me because he owes me money.”
At those words, Yuwon looked at Pandora, who was staring at him half a step away.
What on earth does that look mean?
‘… … ‘It’s really pretty.’
It made my heart flutter to see such a beautiful woman looking at me from so close, but that was it.
The feeling of excitement had already been chipped away and worn away from the moment we learned of the future of destruction.
‘We’ll have to talk later.’
I had to find out where Pandora’s obsession came from so I could get rid of her.
Maybe I should have gone a little further, even if it took a little more time.
With that thought, Yuwon followed behind Odin, who started walking again.
“As you can see, the world is changing.”
“You mean the sky?”
“okay. “The sky you saw is appearing everywhere.”
The purple sky was considered a precursor to the emergence of outerwear.
And in the sky Yuwon saw, the outerwear appeared without fail. Although they were just tentacles that didn’t even have a name, they were clearly beings from outside the tower.
But that kind of sky is appearing everywhere in the tower.
“Why didn’t I know?”
“It’s only been a few days. “I was already having a headache because of that.”
Odin’s eyes turned out the window.
An Asgardian ship floating above the mansion. To be precise, Odin was looking at Zeus riding inside him.
“Then Zeus came to visit me. “I heard you showed up.”
“You seem very disappointed. “If you see that it hasn’t come down yet.”
“I’m sure it’s not just because of that.”
Odin’s gaze glanced at Pandora, who was following Yuwon.
“… … ah.”
Only then did Yuwon understand the situation and nodded.
but.
There was no way the relationship between Pandora and Zeus was good. Zeus was the one who imprisoned Pandora, and every time Pandora saw Zeus like that, she would rush to him, saying she would kill him.
Perhaps the reason Zeus is not coming out of the ship is because of Pandora.
“But if you’re going to talk like that, why did you come here?”
“I have something to ask you. “I have something to tell you.”
If it was a question, it wouldn’t have mattered where. In the end, the reason Odin came straight to this place after finding himself was probably because he had something to deliver.
“The sooner I ask the question, which is sure to be a bother, the better. What do you have to give? “Is it good?”
“I don’t know if it’s a good thing, but… … .”
The tail of one’s words blurs as if he is having difficulty being certain.
But soon, Odin spoke in a confident tone.
“You’ll probably be surprised.”
