Episode 160 Thor’s Training Method -2-
Otherworldly!
My heart skipped a beat.
okay.
I was thinking about it.
Thor and other gods might recognize my identity.
We learned about the trait conversion at level 8, so what about level 9 and level 10?
But that didn’t mean I could delay meeting Thor.
Because I have to get stronger.
Because I have to somehow get Thor’s training method.
There is no way to obtain Thor’s training method other than meeting Thor.
I secretly bit my lower lip.
“How did you know?”
“Huh? Just know, how do you know? I can see it all, you little human. So what was the world you lived in like? Am I alive there too?”
Thor didn’t seem particularly impressed by the fact that I was from another world.
Oddly enough, I show curiosity about the Earth I used to live on.
I don’t have time for this… … .
The invincibility period gained from Misteltein’s Regret is short.
Just a few minutes at most.
It’s a tight time to learn Thor’s training methods.
“Old!”
Thor noticed my thoughts and waved his hand.
A golden platter appears as if by magic.
A tray full of sweets or bread.
A familiar look.
It looks like either bread or a cookie, and is filled with colorful fruit chips and cheese pieces that resemble flower petals.
Ambrosia.
A limit breakthrough consumable similar to nectar in the game.
However, only paid purchases were possible.
The setting was that it was rarer than nectar.
It was said that humans cannot create, only gods can.
“Tell me while you eat. I don’t mind if you throw everything away.”
Really?
Are you really going to eat it all?
If I empty Thor’s warehouse, won’t I reach level 7 today?
“Tsk tsk. I can see right through you, you little human. No matter how much you eat, it’ll all just evaporate in front of me. Do you think meeting God face to face is a joke?”
Tch. That was good.
“Thank you. I will enjoy the meal.”
If nectar is the elixir of youth and immortality, ambrosia is the elixir of immortality.
Invincible time will be provided in abundance.
He took ambrosia to his mouth.
Explosively sweet and refreshing.
The moment I tasted it, my whole body’s senses and inspiration blossomed.
Unfortunately, the feeling soon subsided and spread around me like a shield.
Because of Thor.
Because of the presence before my eyes that burned like a living lightning bolt, even though its presence was hidden.
If Thor hadn’t existed, everything would have been mine.
It was a pity, but it was an elixir that Thor gave me anyway.
He calmly began to unravel the memories of the original world.
“There was no God where I lived.”
“What? Why isn’t there a God?”
“It was a world without gods, demons, or magic.”
“What are you talking about? Then how do you guys farm? Don’t you use fertilizer? Wait a minute. Then what about alcohol? How do you ferment it?”
“That’s it… … .”
Do I even have to explain how to make nitrogen fertilizer?
And alcohol?
Couldn’t it have just been done by roughly adding yeast and letting it ferment?
I was barely able to explain it by searching through my memory.
Of course, I don’t know about the professional part.
Since I had a rough idea of the concept, I was able to satisfy Thor’s curiosity.
Thor, who had been listening for a long time, said.
“What a strange world. This is not a world for warriors. This is a world where farmers can live well.”
“That’s true.”
It’s so ironic.
Northern Europe was originally considered a welfare paradise in the world.
Also, Thor, the patron god of commoners and farmers.
However, the Thor in front of me was clearly showing an appearance that was biased towards nobles and warriors.
Could it be because he inherited some of Odin’s divinity?

Thor lifted the golden goblet and drank the nectar in gulps.
He groans, lets out a sigh, and leans back against the Jormungand stuffed chair.
Looks like a full brown bear.
He nodded to me and said.
“I don’t understand it, but it was an interesting story. Yes, you little human, you must have some questions for me. Ask them. It’s been a while since I’ve had fun, so I’ll answer a few.”
The words I’ve been waiting for.
“Thank you. Then I have a few questions. Do you know who summoned me?”
It wouldn’t have fallen for no reason.
I pulled out an SSR Cheonma and they brought it in the next day?
It is clear that some supernatural force was at work.
A question I asked, thinking Thor would know.
To my surprise, Thor betrayed my expectations.
“I don’t know.”
“Huh?”
“I don’t know. How would I know that, I’m not your father?”
Oh, this is unexpected.
“Isn’t it possible that my old father summoned me?”
“A dead man without a body? He could do it if he wanted to, but he probably wouldn’t. He’s a man who has no interest in anything other than his own resurrection. And if any god exerts enough power to summon a soul from another world, I’ll know right away. But I haven’t felt that way recently.”
Then who is it?
When asked about it, Thor shook his head.
“Do you think I only look into the dimensional barrier 24 hours a day? I don’t know! I don’t care! It must be some dark wizard somewhere using his power. You look for it yourself.”
Wow… … I see you’re being indifferent, saying it’s not your business.
Still, there is a harvest.
The one who summoned me.
Clearly not God.
The fact that there is a high possibility that the wizard or whatever is mortal.
‘Who is it?’
I open the character card and look at it in my head.
All characters that exist in Arcane Seoul.
Unfortunately, there were not enough clues.
I need to find more clues to figure out who brought me into this world.
“I thought my old father had dragged me here.”
“Because of your soul? Well, your soul is special. Can’t you see that I’m accepting your words like this?”
“Is it because of the trait change?”
“Oh. Your soul is of a very high rank. It is also very unique. If you accumulate just a little more karma, you will ascend to the heavens and become a constellation. You will even be able to become a lower-level god.”
Thor, who never loses his appetite.
“So, if you have nowhere to go after you die, won’t you become an Einherjar under me? After Sigurd was destroyed, there was no one suitable to be the leader, so this is good. You will be my archangel.”
“Yes? I don’t have any desire to die.”
“So, after you die, you little human. Wouldn’t it be better than being reincarnated anywhere? No matter how high your rank, you can still be reincarnated as a tiny being. That’s the law of the dimension.”
Why is the story jumping to this point?
As I blinked, Thor waved his hand.
“Think about it carefully. It’s much better to become an archangel than to reincarnate and start from zero. With a soul like you, you can easily reach the rank of a minor deity if you just roll around a little under me. But you have to get to level 9 while you’re alive, so live hard while you’re alive. Fight until you die. Do you understand? Then, when you make up your mind, go to any of my temples and pray to me. I’ll give you a blessing and give you a replica of Megingjord and Jarngreipr. With those, you’ll be twice as strong.”
“ha ha ha…….”
Can you give it to me now?
The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I held them back.
Because I felt like my nose would get pierced if I said it out loud.
Become an archangel… … .
The scale of the issue was so large that it was difficult to answer right away.
“Thank you for your words. I will think about it as I live.”
“Oh, right. Think about it. Gungnir and Sleipnir are just waiting for their master. Will you be my warrior general? Just build up your rank properly? I’ll give you Gungnir and Sleipnir right away.”
I’m tempted by Gungnir.
Sleipnir too.
You’re saying you’re giving the real thing, not a replica?
After level 9, after death, Thor knew how to fish.
The samba I caught in Jormungand isn’t going anywhere.
Ambrosia is slowly revealing its bottom.
Thor, who was initially sparkling with curiosity, gradually began to show signs of boredom.
Now just one or two questions and you’re done.
There are many things I want to ask, but I keep them buried.
It is no exaggeration to say that Thor is a muscle brain.
I don’t know.
I don’t know, what should I do?
Because I knew I would hear this answer.
Instead, I asked questions that would determine my future plans.
“You know that your old father will be resurrected soon, right?”
“I know.”
“I’m also trying to use it as a bowl.”
“of course.”
“Aren’t you willing to help me?”
“Why me? Do you want to become my servant? Swear to be my Einherjar and receive a tattoo as a believer, and then I will help you.”
As expected.
There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
Thor looked at me with indifferent eyes.
As if he knew what I was going to say.
“I will try to overcome it.”
“Hehe, that’s right. As a warrior, shouldn’t you use your own strength to defeat your enemies? If you had asked me for help here, I would have used you as an Einherjar, but I wouldn’t have given you the position of warrior commander.”
He’s so fickle.
Well, that’s the image of Thor in mythology.
Not a serious and dignified old soldier, but a bundle of troublemakers who run wild here and there like a bald eagle.
“Try hard. I like those guys. Idiots who know it won’t work but still keep going. If you die, you’ll climb up to Valhalla, and if you survive, you’ll become a great hero.”
“Apart from me, does the Great Lightning have no feelings about the resurrection of the old father? I know the old father as the great lightning’s adversary.”
Thor scratched his cheek.
He strokes the hideous head of Jormungand, which is stuffed and hangs on the armrest, and speaks in a soft voice.
“I honestly think it’s okay for Geuchchi to be resurrected.”
“Yes? Are you serious?”
“Oh, yeah. Look at me, you little human. Look at this stupid palace.”
Thor jumped to his feet.
Go to the window and throw it open wide.
Then a magnificent sight is revealed.
Clouds that hang like the earth.
Sharp mountain peaks rise everywhere.
The sun, moon, and stars swimming so close that they seem within reach.
It’s a heart-wrenching scene, but Thor looks dissatisfied.
“I am the god of war. I am the god of thunder. I am also the god of storms who brings lightning, rain, and clouds. But why should I be locked up in a place like this, drinking nectar?”
ah…….
I understand Thor’s mind.
“Where have all the old gods gone? The ancient warriors? The Einherjar who used to chop off their enemies’ throats and split their heads instead of eating pork? They are all just filth now. I and the warriors are confined in this palace, trapped in this trash-like subdimension, rotting away day by day.”
Thor takes a moment to catch his breath.
His hazy eyes trace the past.
I was reminiscing about the good old days, when we could roam the land freely, fight, and gamble.
“I should have died during Ragnarok. I should have killed Jormungand and died from the poison! Not being able to do that is the regret of my life. No, I wouldn’t have even gone as far as Ragnarok. If I had died during the War of Destruction, I wouldn’t have seen this. I shouldn’t have participated in the War of Destruction! You talk about being the winner of the War of Destruction and all, but in the end, weren’t you small humans the only ones who benefited?”
That’s right.
There’s a reason why Arcane Seoul’s narration begins with [God is dead].
Results of the war of destruction.
Because the defeated gods died and the victorious gods were imprisoned.
The only winner is human.
From then on, the era of humans truly began.
The era of golden supremacy and magical science supremacy.
“Do you want world war?”
“To be honest, yes.”
This is not good… … .
So that’s why the cults were so passive in Episode 3, the resurrection of the ancient gods.
I thought it was because the South Korean government had become a vegetative government, but I didn’t know there was such a secret.
It’s not just the Thor Church, it’s the same for other churches too.
“But I will still cheer you on.”
Thor looked at me with sharp eyes.
“Old father. He really is a disgusting bastard. If he were to come back to life, the world would be fun, but it would also be terrible. I half want him to come back to life, and half don’t want him to come back to life. If you want to live, then struggle. It would be better if you rely on me.”
Thor reached out.
A hand that approached me like a ghost pierced my heart.
A hand holding the heart and spinal cord at the same time.
It’s not a hand.
It was a mass of pure magical power.
No, it was something purer than that, a power that could hardly be called magic or divine power.
Kkwarreung!
Lightning struck.
Thunder rumbled.
I couldn’t even breathe properly.
The magic circuit was being dismantled in real time.
It twists and breaks, disintegrates, and reassembles as it pleases.
Become one.
Thus, the newly constructed magic circuit was created.
[Thor’s training method]
It is incomparable to Sigurd’s training method.
A literal bolt of lightning.
An extremely intense and fierce force was coursing through my entire body.
An overwhelming sense of omnipotence takes hold of me.
As I clench my fist, a faint thunder rumbles inside my body.
“Go and see.”
The world is moving away.
Thor, Jormungand’s stuffed chair, the office that was separated from the world, the palace in the sky, and the sub-dimensional Asgard all fade away.
Just before passing through the dimensional barrier.
Invincibility has been released.
Only then can it be seen.
A huge shadow.
A presence that looms over all of Asgard.
The human-shaped Thor I saw was just an illusion.
The entity was a primordial lightning bolt so large and magnificent that it filled the sub-dimension.
“Whew, haa, huuup.”
Even a brief exposure can have serious consequences.
My whole body feels tingly.
No, it seems to be crumbling.
My mind was starting to feel hazy and my heart was pounding.
“f*ck, shit.”
I hurriedly equipped the immortality and regeneration series traits, but it was useless.
I drank the superior healing potion and holy water.
Even that wasn’t enough, so I opened a bottle of the elixir.
Only then does the body finally calm down.
No, soul.
“Haaah… … .”
Is this true?
I only saw it for 1 second, no, 0.1 second while being bounced from Asgard, and it ended up like this?
I can’t help but shudder.
“It seems that the greatest lightning has favored your hand.”
“I almost died?”
“Heh heh. Take a look at the magic circuit. You’ll understand why I said this.”
The Pope smiles at me.
Why are you like that?
After looking inside quietly, I realized why.
[Thor’s training method]
Around this magic circuit.
There was an electric light flickering around.
Concentrate your mind.
I think it’s like pushing it up with your finger.
Then a small spark of electricity flashed between my index finger and thumb.
Phagec!
Attribute trait [Lightning].
No matter what anyone says, it’s tier 1 in lightning attributes.
It is comparable to black flame among the fire attributes.
It flashed between my fingers.
