Episode 549 ‘Asgard’, the city of warriors (3)
“… … yes?”
“What is that… .”
Yeon-hwa Yeon-hwa and Tae-min Lee’s pupils shook rapidly after receiving the call.
This is because the content of the phone call I received a while ago was absurd.
[Korea, the ordeal of the Top Gate explosion.]
[Is the cause a horsepower leak? Or the association’s secret experiment?]
[Investigators from the government and each guild are investigating.]
The gate connecting Seoul and the Tower of Trials was lost.
To be precise, the entire building collapsed and the gate was buried inside.
Because the situation was so critical, all of Korea’s rankers, including large guilds such as Dangun and Saulavi, gathered in one place.
Han Sang-jin stood in front of everyone with a stiff expression on his face.
“As you may have noticed, this incident is not a simple accident. “Someone made a plan and targeted this place.”
Words like a bomb.
Most people vaguely expected it, but the shock doubled when the fact came out of the association president’s mouth.
“A terrorist attack in the middle of Seoul, not anywhere else.”
“What kind of crazy people did this?”
“If it happened overseas… .”
“Since we’re ahead, they’re keeping us in check, or something!”
A variety of reactions erupted.
Since all kinds of interests were so intertwined, anyone could have been the culprit.
“The only clue we’ve found so far is one. “This person is believed to be a suspect.”
Sangjin Han operated the remote control.
CCTV footage is playing.
A large man with red hair appeared there.
He is a foreigner with a very large appearance and a slightly unusual appearance.
“Western side… is it?”
“It’s my first time seeing this face… .”
“More than that, where is his friend? “I can only see myself on the screen?”
There is only one opponent.
Moreover, he is not a person in the database that the existing intelligence department knows.
Since he is not a ranker, it is natural to predict that there will be a third party.
However, the common sense of everyone watching was completely destroyed in the following scene.
Suddenly!
The motion of swinging the sword was simple, but the entire building was destroyed with just one light slash.
The outer wall, which was made of special steel and coated with magic stones, could not withstand the blow.
Even if it was the sword master Cheon Yu-seong, it was impossible.
There were no traces of any skills, let alone unique abilities, being activated.
The atmosphere became even heavier.
Fear, beyond shock, penetrated the hearts of everyone gathered here.
“few… “It’s strong.”
Kim Won-seok and Cha Seong-ho are also elites selected by the association.
They were veterans who not only had awakened, but also had experience conquering dungeons and ruins on the 20th floor.
However, they died without even a single proper resistance.
And that too for just one person.
“First of all, you must never disclose this matter to the outside world. “Unless you know the identity and intentions of the other party, you must move with a small number of people.”
Masters and top rankers of each guild.
A total of 9 people know the secret.
“Once we have decided on the direction, we now need to figure out who our opponent is.”
Taemin Lee gathered his magic power.
[Machine Lord – Activates ‘Reconnaissance Drone’.]
Ugh!
Dozens of drones began searching through the rubble.
Even a small clue.
If you can find even the slightest trace, that alone is a great harvest.
“ha. “I can’t help it.”
Yeonhwa also injected magical power into the gauntlet and lifted the fragment.
Thanks to the incredible strength stats, the rocks the size of houses disappeared in an instant.
⁕⁕⁕
The center of Asgard.
The meeting, which lasted for over 12 hours, went in circles like a treadmill, unable to narrow the differences in each other’s positions.
“Let’s leave it here for today.”
Odin pressed his temple with his index finger.
It’s because I’m so tired of the conversation that never seems to end.
“I didn’t think it would be resolved on the first day anyway.”
“I agree. “Let’s take a break today and see you again tomorrow.”
“Hehe. “It wasn’t bad for an exploratory prefix.”
The gods of Olympus, Eden, and the ages also stood up.

“Hmm. Isn’t this just a complete waste of hope? There is no income. Is it okay for this to happen?”
Ellis, who was watching everything from inside the ring, clicked her tongue.
Well, from the outside it looks like I wasted all day.
“Don’t worry too much. “This is part of the plan.”
“Part of the plan? What was it that dragged on?”
“huh.”
I am convinced that there will never be an agreement.
And the fatigue of the meeting, which dragged on for a long time, added up.
If you want to shake up your opponent, now is the best time.
Jinhyuk followed the garden and approached where Uriel was.
Uriel, who was heading to the outskirts with the angels, noticed Jinhyeok approaching.
“what?”
“Can I have a moment? “I have something to tell you.”
“go away. “I have nothing to say to you.”
Uriel waved his hand as if he was annoyed.
“okay? That’s a shame. I was going to tell you an amazing way to give Eden some breathing room… . “Aren’t you guys in a pretty difficult situation right now?”
Uriel’s steps suddenly stopped at Jinhyuk’s words.
I have been fooled by that old man’s tongue several times until now.
I also knew well that I shouldn’t mix words from the beginning.
But even though I know it’s a poisoned chalice, I can’t shake it off easily… .
… … This is because the timing of the opponent’s bait was so perfect.
‘It doesn’t matter if you listen to it.’
Still, you should at least exercise your skills before accepting the offer.
You need to let the other party know who he or she dares to propose a deal to in order to crush any room for other thoughts.
“If you’re playing around again… .”
Cuckoo cuckoo!
[Uriel Lv??? Activates ‘Holy Veil’.]
Dazzling light erupted in all directions.
The concentrated divine power dyed even the shadows pure white.
however.
“… … “Then what?”
Jinhyuk took the brunt of Uriel’s divine power.
The light created by ‘Star’s Protection’ completely blocked Uriel’s Holy Veil.
Parts… !
Pachichik!
Light collided and silver waves spread out.
‘This is ridiculous… .’
Uriel bit down on his molars,
I already knew that Jinhyeok was not ordinary, but I never thought he would not even raise an eyebrow even with archangel-level divine power.
Only then did the plan to apply force become completely useless.
On the contrary, if you continue to fight, you may end up being embarrassed in front of your subordinates.
As my thoughts reached that point, my actions became more urgent.
The light that was emitting disappeared in an instant, and the voice calmed down.
“Tell me what your plan is.”
“The reason you are in trouble now is because you have accumulated defeats without victories. “The power is great, but as we keep failing, our unity is bound to decline.”
then.
“Wouldn’t it be possible to turn the situation around with just one thrilling victory that everyone can understand?”
An overwhelming victory is needed.
No one can doubt it.
“You speak fluently. Do you think we are not doing it because we do not know? Moreover, according to what you said, we have to destroy Gabriel and Michael, but you, who are on the same side, will help us win.”
I won’t be fooled by this stupid trick again.
Uriel tried to turn around with a single move.
“It’s frustrating. Why do you think about fighting only inside? “Is your old enemy somewhere else?”
The true enemy that Eden risked his life to fight against by splitting one flight of stairs in two.
It is outside, not inside.
The realm of demons called ‘Demon World’.
“no way… .”
“okay. If you grant my favor, I will let you take possession of one of the Demon King’s territories. “You probably know that you have excellent information, but I am quite familiar with the demon world.”
It is an open secret that Goinmul Corporation is close to Beriel.
If Beriel, who was at the highest level among the Demon Lords, was behind him, it might actually be possible to conquer other Demon Lords’ territories.
This is not a bluff.
It’s not even a ridiculous scam.
“What do you want from us?”
“It’s simple. Support Ragnarok, not Olympus or Tensei, at tomorrow’s meeting. So that this meeting can end safely. “Then, I will also hand over the information I promised.”
Jinhyuk handed over a piece of parchment with a blue seal.
It was a special item whose sealed seal would be released if the conditions were met.
The parchment that was fully exposed to the sun took on a faintly different light.
“Can I take the fact that you are still here to mean that you are interested in my proposal?”
“… It’s definitely interesting. good. “I accept it.”
Uriel nodded.
With that, the contract was concluded.
‘good. First of all, we dragged one towards us.’
Olympus originally made a verbal contract in advance, but for some reason, the response to contact was lukewarm.
It’s a situation where the unfortunate side is showing their guts.
‘I’m saying there’s a part of me that believes in something… .’
You cannot make any moves until you know what the hidden card is.
The spy hidden in Northern Europe also had to be identified before the meeting ended.
‘This meeting is interesting in many ways.’
This is why the Tower of Trials never loses interest no matter what.
In this situation where many variables were intertwined, all the nerves in my body were pleasantly stimulated.
⁕⁕⁕
At the same time, a stranger visited Olympus, who arrived at the accommodation.
Sigh.
I felt like I was popular.
“It’s late.”
Athena, who was drinking ambrosia, nodded towards the hooded person.
“We waited for a long time. “Do the Norse gods have no concept of time commitment, or what?”
Artemis, who was next to him, did not hide his discomfort.
To Artemis, who drank alcohol to forget the anger of losing Apollo in the first place, all the gods of Northern Europe had no choice but to become the target of resentment.
Even if the target is a traitor who decided to join them.
“Oh my, I guess I kept the ladies waiting too long. “I wanted to come quickly, but surveillance was so tight that I had a hard time getting out.”
“… … Are you really saying that there is a lord who doubts?”
Athena raised her eyes.
“That’s not true, but Heimdall is watching this area very carefully. Well, anyway, you didn’t get stepped on, so you don’t have to worry.”
“When you say it’s safe, that’s what it is. Rather… . “What do you mean by information?”
The reason why I took the risk to contact you.
That’s because there was something that needed to be shared before the meeting started tomorrow.
A tingling voice came out from between the hood.
“Jinhyuk Kang contacted Uriel of Eden.”
“You mean he tried to join hands with that stubborn angel? From Uriel’s perspective, he would never try to be in the same boat as Kang Jin-hyuk.”
“Based on the atmosphere, it seemed like they were proposing something quite interesting. “I think there is a high probability that Eden will win against Northern Europe tomorrow.”
“Those idiots… .”
Quad deuk!
Artemis downed the entire glass.
The overflowing red wine soaked the floor.
“I’ll kill you right now! “I didn’t like it from the beginning, so let’s just sweep it all away!”
“calm down. Eden may not have completely passed over either. “It seems like they are tempted by the other person’s conditions and will take a step back for a while and then see what they think.”
“You mean, let’s just watch him play like a bat!?”
“Of course not.”
Athena lifted her baby weapon leaning against the wall.
A soft light shone through the golden window.
“Originally, I had planned to move in a few days, but since you are provoking me so openly, I have no choice.”
The preparations were completed perfectly.
Now it is time to start another war.
“I was waiting for you to say that.”
A wry smile appeared on Artemis’ lips.
at the same time.
[Artemis activates her unique ability ‘Moon Hunting.’]
“Krrr… .”
“Kung!Kung!Kung!”
Through the moonlight, gigantic beasts growled harshly.
