Episode 173. Absence of God.
The lower part of the World Tree and the center of Midgard, the place where Pendragon dreamed of a family revolution.
I stood in front of him and looked up. The thorns of the magnificent World Tree unfold before your eyes, and the silhouette of Ragnarok visible through them.
“Are you going to wait until I go up there myself?”
Or would you come down here yourself?
The head of the Rothschild family and the person closest to the person called the owner of the tower.
Apostle Ordin.
Brunhild licked his paw on my shoulder, then quietly rubbed his head against my cheek and said.
“That guy is strong. “It might be too much for you to deal with alone.”
“Why do you think that? Isn’t Apostle Ordin the one who also defeated Master Siegfried? “I’m sure he heard that a few days ago.”
“I did win. “But you didn’t win alone, right?”
Brunhild turned his head and looked at Siegfried. He happened to be right in front of me and answered while scratching his head.
“I’m the only one who fought. “The other guys helped me a lot behind the scenes.”
“You helped me?”
“Yes, he was so crazy that Brunhild tied his feet. “The other guys used recovery magic and various buffs.”
‘hey.’
Then you didn’t fight alone, right? I wanted to ask, but I didn’t have to.
I thought that perhaps Siegfried might have thought that way because the standards of battle are different now than when he was controlling the world.
‘If not.’
There is no way Brunhild would answer like that. Due to her nature, she would have raised her voice, saying that she too had fought.
“So how did you win?”
“I don’t know how to win, I just cut it down. “They cornered him and killed him by cutting his body vertically.”
“But why is Ordin alive?”
“Because the owner of the tower saved my life.”
“You saved my life?”
“Yes, even if you die inside the tower, you can still survive. Of course, the owner of the tower must give permission.”
“Then what about outside the tower?”
“Outside the tower?”
When Siegfried hesitated for a moment, Brunhild answered for him.
“Just die.”
“You can’t come back to life.”
“is it so?”
“Even though the owner of the tower is a god, he does not have omnipotent power.”
Isn’t God an omnipotent being? I don’t know how Brunhild gives such an answer. It was clear that he had reached a higher level than me and had a lot of information, so I respected his opinion.
‘Then let’s release all the information at once.’
I don’t understand why you hide it at all.
“Then Ordin was the apostle guarding the 99th floor. “It means that when Master’s party was about to kill him and move on, he was defeated by a person called God.”
“That’s right, Siegfried. Even if that guy hadn’t rushed in without thinking, there would have been a way to win.”
“Then why is Master’s body on the 81st floor? “I understand that Bingseong’s area only extends to the 90th floor.”
“Ooh, good question. That’s it… .”
Siegfried suddenly put his face in front of me and joined the conversation.
“That’s because that Brunhild caught the eye of the owner of the ice castle.”
“…You made eye contact with the owner of Bingseong?”
“Okay, so the moment we all die. “That bitch, the owner of Bingseong froze her and took her to his floor and ran away.”
Brunhild jumped up and shouted.
“You you you crazy bastard! “What kind of bullshit are you talking about?!”
“why? That’s right. “The owner of Bingseong liked you so much that he let us go.”
“that… . That guy just liked me one-sidedly. “I’ve never made eye contact with that guy!”
“okay? “So you stayed on the 90th floor for a month, flirting with that guy?”
“That means he stayed for a while to learn the spells used by the apostles.”
While listening to the two’s story, what I had been curious about until now was answered. How was Glazer’s first friend, Brunhild, able to use ancient magic?
‘It was something I learned at the tower.’
So, I was learning all the techniques from the distant past.
“Okay, let me stop talking. “You perverted old man.”
“Yes, yes, do whatever you want. “The noble and proud ice princess of the tower.”
“This bastard really is.”
“young? “Did you just call me a bastard?”
Although this conversation may seem pointless, I gained a lot of good information.
The fact that Ordin is so strong that even Siegfried cannot defeat him alone.
The owner of the ice castle that guards the 90th floor has the power to oppose him.
‘then.’
In the future, if I bring out Brunhild, who is trapped on the 81st floor, I will be able to make her active in the tower once again.
‘That’s fun.’
Anyway, today I will be dealing with Ordin. If we go through a long history and come to an end with the Rothschilds.
‘For sure.’
Changes also occur at the tower.
I already know the direction. A very old thing that I saw there in my past life, or rather heard about through my colleagues.
‘History of the Tower.’

I was able to read fragments of that memory. The owner of Strange and Glazer who is currently sleeping in my body.
Two dragons.
[You must kill Ordin.]
[Ordin must be saved.]
These guys who have different opinions within me are proof of that.
Ssaaaaaa-
The wind blew strongly.
The branches of the World Tree extending through the darkness shake loudly, making an eerie sound.
Terrible cries and strange, ugly laughter were heard from the bushes deep between the branches of the World Tree.
‘It’s as if he’s calling me.’
Inherited the blood of God, who has written a long history to protect this continent.
In some ways, he is behind Rothschild, who has a deeper negative relationship than Glazer.
God’s messenger.
“wait.”
Tomorrow, a new history will begin.
Not the fake created by the owner of the tower, but the real thing that lives in this world now.

“… There is no retreat. Kill or be killed, you choose.”
When Valentine lightly raised his sword and pointed forward, the soldiers with their backs to the Blade Canyon gave out shouts and started running.
“Aaaah!”
“Aaaah!”
On the other side, Rothschild’s knights, leading the cavalry, narrowed the distance with long spears.
Coo!
The two legions clashed greatly.
Swords, spears, and shields clashed with each other, creating intense battle sounds.
The canyon was instantly filled with the heat of battle, and a bloody fight ensued.
Of course, at the beginning of the battle, the power seemed similar. However, as time passed, it was Strange who lost.
No matter how strong they were, it was difficult for them to withstand a numerical inferiority that was more than two times greater.
‘however.’
This situation was also all in Verdin’s plan. As the knights blocking the entrance to the canyon began to push back little by little, Kaipa used his Bae Hu-ryeong power to break the flow of battle.
Grumble!
A fairy of flame flew in the direction where his sword was swung, stretching out flames to stop the enemy’s movement.
Grumble!
It wasn’t a long time.
Just a few seconds, long enough to take a breath. However, this moment was so important that it could change the outcome of the battlefield.
Rox, who was thought to be dead, jumped up from his place and immediately smiled brightly and shouted at Valentine.
“All you have to do is get started!”
As his shout spread throughout the battlefield, Valentine changed the direction of his sword and pointed it at the ground instead of ahead.
Crash.
At the same time, thousands of crows flew in from all directions and began attacking Rothschild’s knights.
Not only that, the knights who were filling the canyon hurriedly fled to the rear, ignited the guns they had prepared in advance, and fired at the cavalry.
Quang!
The enemy’s horses were startled and either fell asleep or turned their heads back to run away.
‘It’s a success.’
Valentine smiled at the corner of his mouth, then looked at Rox and gestured toward the sky.
Where her hand was pointing, there was a strange bird flying in a cloud-like position.
Kieeeeek!
Percussion.
The monster dropped a coffin with a yellow cross hanging from its claws. Buuuuung! A fierce aura began to spew out from the pipe that began to fall with the sound of the wind cracking.
Assabrag, noticing this, hurriedly opened his aura, then pulled out his sword and raised his gaze to confirm the presence of the coffin.
‘What on earth is that?’
How could you not notice even though you were this far away? The aura is so strong that it makes me cringe.
He made a quick decision and shouted to the commanders of each unit.
“I’ll take care of that guy, so you guys hurry up and attack the canyon!”
At the same time as the order was given, the lieutenants let out loud shouts and ran toward the canyon again.
Quang!
And soon after, a coffin carrying a yellow cross fell in front of Asabrag.
Sigh-
When the lid was opened and the identity of the person inside was discovered, Asabrag looked arrogant and took a step back.
“Gunther, how is he alive?”
The eldest of Strange’s seven brothers and the one called the next matriarch.
I heard he’s been dead for several years now, so why can he still be standing here?
The question about this was resolved in an instant.
‘The ability that Timeless said was true.’
Assabrag glanced at the coffin standing firmly behind Gunther and shrugged his shoulders slightly.
“They say Strange has Bae Hu-ryeong, who has the power to raise the dead. “Have you been reborn with that guy’s abilities?”
Gunther did not answer.
He simply pulled out the large two-handed sword hidden behind his golden armor and aimed it at Asabrag.
“That Verdin guy had a reason to be confident while dealing with us. I never expected this to happen… .”
Taang! Bang bang!
Dorothy’s gunshot was heard not far away. When I turned to check, I saw Dorothy covered in blood running away with a frightened expression, as if she was being chased by something.
“Ah, Asabrag. “We must run away!”
“Running away?”
“crazy… . “The crazy guy is back.”
“You’re crazy.”
“… Hiss, hysteria. “That crazy bastard suddenly appeared!”
Flutter!
A sword flew out from between the trees and stuck in Dorothy’s left thigh.
“Ugh!”
dump.
At the same time she fell, Hysteria appeared from nowhere, wiping the blood-soaked blade with her tongue and letting out a mean laugh.
“Khahahaha!”
Gunther and Hysteria.
Asabrag faced them both at the same time and his body froze.
Even though he could now deal with Strange’s brothers, it was clear that the presence of the two he had experienced previously had brought out the fears in his past memories.
‘Die.’
You can’t win against those guys.
Everyone will die if they stay here.
He, who had been happy until a little while ago with hopeful thoughts of defeating Strange and returning to Ragnarok, became frustrated.
A feeling of intimidation that can be felt even though you have an overwhelming number of allies, enough to overwhelm the enemy just by moving forward.
Easy profit.
It was then.
When Asabrag was about to give up the battle, space split and Timeless appeared once again.
“Asabrag, I will lend you my strength so you can fight them.”
Asabrag asked Timeless with trembling eyes.
“Fight?”
“Yes, you can win now.”
“Don’t be crazy. “How can you win against those two?”
“… “Here’s how to beat them.”
Timeless reached through the gap in the space and handed over a syringe.
“Trust me. With this one thing, you will never be defeated by anyone. “The future of Rothschild, Archduke Assabrag.”
