Episode 345 Giant power at the top (3)
“Hoo.”
“indeed….”
“It’s more than I expected.”
“Was that already finished?”
Exclamations of exclamation erupted from everywhere.
Where everyone’s eyes were focused, there was a girl with blue hair standing there.
Empty pupils that have lost focus and a slender body.
In contrast, thick golden chains tightly bound the arms and legs.
Jinhyuk’s eyes also narrowed.
A card that is the highlight of this auction and will be a key force in the future battle of the gods.
This is a masterpiece called ‘Homunculus’, which is said to be the finished product of alchemists.
Since it has no emotions, it has no hesitation in eliminating life. His basic combat skills are also very excellent.
In fact, the homunculus plays a fairly important role in the middle and latter half of the Tower of Trials.
‘The first product was that girl.’
aka alpha.
Unlike objects that are usually improved over time, the quality of a homunculus is superior the earlier it is made.
This is because the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’, the key material to create a homunculus, was used the most.
“Hehe. As expected, everyone’s response is good! However, as everyone knows, you cannot win this auction just because you have a lot of money.”
okay. I guess so.
If it were a problem that could be solved with a lot of money, the gods would have sent only their own agents and issued blank checks.
There are many rich people who only have coins and magic stones.
Above all, the entity that hosted this auction is not particularly interested in coins or magic stones.
The host, who felt the attention was focused, continued.
“Bidding is the minimum requirement. And to win the bid, you must be chosen by the homunculus here. Ah! Choosing is not that big of a deal, you just have to make her kneel. The homunculus recognizes only the strong as its master.”
In short, it means that we have to make that emotionless doll obey itself.
Right then.
“That’s interesting.”
The large man among the gods stood up.
Coo!
Just getting up causes my left and right sides to shake.
Bursting muscles and hands bigger than a tiger.
Hercules is called the greatest hero of Greece.
Quang!
Hercules got off his feet and leapt to the center of the auction house.
His movements were as agile as a squirrel, incongruous for his size.
“Is this kid going to become a combat weapon that surpasses Titans in the future? Hmm. I still can’t quite believe it.”
Thump!
Hercules’ huge hand grabbed the homunculus’ head.
“Acknowledge me as your master. If you refuse, I will smash your head.”
“…….”
The homunculus’ blue hair was rough and matted, but the homunculus still didn’t move a single inch.
To begin with, there is no emotion of fear in the eyes.
“I’m sorry, Hercules. You won’t win her approval.”
“Are you saying I’m not qualified enough?”
“No. It’s just….”
The host shrugged his shoulders.
“The homunculus does not recognize gods as its masters. This applies to anyone other than Hercules.”
The work of alchemists created using the Philosopher’s Stone.
Because of this, the divine magic power is of no use.
“So… all the gods brought their own ‘apostles’.”
Apostles are agents.
These are the people who receive the protection and magic power of the gods and execute their will.
Sigh.
Okay.
Apostles rose up here and there as if they had been waiting.
and.
Olympus was the first to move as if he wanted to succeed Hercules.
“Medesus. Were you the apostle Hermes brought with you?”
“Yes. I heard about the homunculus from him.”
“Is it possible? You only get one chance.”
“Of course. I will definitely bring that homunculus for Olympus.”
Height: 190cm, solid muscular body.
Medesus, with brown hair hanging down to his shoulders, drew his sword.
Sreung!
Sword light scattered, and the free magic power unique to Greece surged.
“Hmm. Good. Let’s try to believe it.”
Hercules also nodded and took a step back.

Medesus glanced at the host.
“If the condition of obedience is to make one kneel, how far are the means and methods permitted?”
“You can attack. You can use other things. However, killing is not allowed. This is a test of your qualifications.”
“You won’t even have to go there.”
Papat!
The sword of Medesus disappeared.
It was a blow with both weight and speed as if it would cut off the entire leg.
however.
Kaaaang!
The homunculus, which had not moved until now, moved for the first time.
Before I knew it, the 1m long spear held in both hands drew a circle like a pinwheel.
At the same time, the homunculus leapt behind the platform and tried to gain a breather.
“Remaining tricks!”
Medesus immediately closed the distance.
By greatly extending my right foot forward, the gap between them became less than 30cm.
Kakakakakang!
In an instant, more than a dozen attacks occurred.
It was a surprise attack that made it difficult for everyone to react.
however.
“This can’t be… how?”
As time passed, Medesus’ face gradually darkened.
Clearly, he was the one who was being hit like a storm.
The opponent was just trying to get it.
But still, what happened? The delicate balance showed no signs of being broken.
Wow!
The vertical blow stopped just above the homunculus’ forehead.
I got stuck again.
Although both strength and technique were superior, one decisive blow was lacking.
“Ugh!”
“…….”
The homunculus, who blocked the spear with his spear, once again escaped Medesus’ gap.
“Don’t just run away, fight!”
If we went any further than this, it would mean that we would kill him, not test him.
However, there were too many eyes to watch.
Aside from Hercules being angry, isn’t it impossible to lower the status of Olympus in a place where so many powers are gathered?
If I can’t have it here, I’ll just kill it so no one can have it.
then… .
A blue energy appeared on Medesus’ arm.
Wooooow!
The fierce light grew in strength.
The idea is to see the end in one go through the unique window.
[Medesus activates the unique spear ‘Unmeshing Crack’!]
“I’m sure I won’t kill anyone…!”
In response to the unexpected action, the host stepped forward.
However, Medesus’ attack was one tempo faster.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Spatial cutting series.
The deteriorated air was still clinging to the area where Geomro had passed.
This is proof of how quickly the attack was carried out.
however.
Cheeeeeek!
The homunculus even survived the attack.
The long sword image was subtly distorted around the ground where she was standing, as if she had deflected the trajectory with her short spear.
“What on earth happened to you? Speaking of dolls….”
Mesessus muttered in a hollow voice.
It’s because I never imagined that this would be prevented.
“Stop it. If you do any more than that, people from Olympus may be banned from attending our auction house forever.”
The heated atmosphere calmed down only after the host made a threat.
Of course, the minds of the gods who watched the battle just now began to fill with completely different imaginations.
“This… is definitely amazing.”
“I never thought I could stop an Olympian apostle from activating his unique spear.”
“It’s the first homunculus… I’m coveting it even more.”
Equivalent to high-ranking apostles… No, it’s a weapon that may be superior.
It must be obtained for the sake of the struggle for power in the upper echelons.
That was the common thought of everyone gathered here.
“That’s the limit of those stupid Greeks. Aren’t they showing such disgrace because they accepted a mediocre resident of the late 20s as an apostle? Demon World proves that they are worthy of obtaining that thing.”
Guntafer burst into laughter.
“Kantura!”
At Gunthafer’s command, this time an old man wearing a black cloak appeared.
A demon living in the late 30th floor.
The skinny figure with two short horns was quite impressive.
“Tsk. I admit it’s a little fast, but you’re not my opponent anyway. I’ll finish it in one minute.”
Once the minimum bid was paid, Cantura took out a pair of curved swords.
fault!
Cantura rushed forward with the sound of grazing the ground.
Kakagagagak!
A speed that is almost like moving through space.
A little while ago, Medesus had the upper hand in strength and technology.
Cantura targeted the blind spot with a move specialized for assassination.
“…….”
The homunculus still took the opponent’s surprise attack with an expressionless face.
Kaang!
Kang!
once. twice. And three times… .
The battle began to drag on again.
＊＊＊
Seven already.
Although the apostles of the gods challenged one another, no one failed to bring the homunculus to its knees.
Even if the top apostles could not come due to the war at each level. This resulted in an absurd result.
“This is how it is….”
“It’s a fruit completely across the river.”
“I didn’t know that even the Apostle of Eden would be defeated. It’s truly a masterpiece.”
Surprise about the homunculus flowed from everyone’s lips.
Of course, there was also a bitter aftertaste from not being able to get it.
‘hmm… As expected, is it as expected?’
The host stroked his chin with his small hand.
The highlight of this episode, the homunculus, was an auction item that could not be obtained simply by trying to print it with force.
If we had thought a little more deeply about the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’, alchemy, and the characteristic of being the first… .
If that were the case, I thought there would be at least one force that could attack… .
It seems that there is no force that has the potential to win the bid.
‘I guess that’s it.’
The host raised his hand to announce the end of the auction.
But right then.
Someone came forward.
This is Jinhyuk.
Jinhyuk, who had been continuously monitoring the situation and preparing something, finally made his move.
Wooooow!
The subspace inventory was opened, and an item to pay for admission was revealed.
“Ha! I thought it was just a bracelet? It’s such an insignificant treasure….”
Guntafer, who was speaking, paused.
This is not an ordinary bracelet.
An ancient kingdom that disappeared buried in the sand.
It is a high-level relic that can only be obtained there.
The being that has this must be… He must be the matriarch of Sentai Ataraxia, right?
I don’t know why it was here, but one thing was certain: it was good enough for the lowest bid in the auction.
chuck.
Jinhyuk clenched his fangs.
Just like the apostles did until now. It seemed like he was trying to subdue the homunculus through battle.
‘I thought there was something a little different… This man is the same.’
The host’s brief expectations were dashed.
This guy and that guy.
If you take out a weapon first, the result is predictable.
however. The disappointment was short-lived.
‘Hoo?’
The host’s mouth opened slightly.
The cute rabbit ears kept pricking up.
A sweet scent that spreads towards the tip of your nose.
It’s definitely true.
Philosopher’s Stone.
To be exact, it melts a replica of the Philosopher’s Stone… He sprinkled it on his body.
“……!?”
The homunculus’ blue eyes narrowed ever so slightly.
That’s the start.
