A Monster Hunter Born of Capitalism

“We will support you with power. I'll lend you everything you need. Do you have anything else you want? ”

“Ha, why don't you lend me all your children's old habits? Or give me Hades' invisible helmet. ”

Loki knows that it's impossible, but unlike Loki, Zeus considers.

“Hmm……. You mean your brother's quines? Okay, I'll ask. ”

“Well, what about the Trident of Poseidon? ”

“Trident? I could ask. I don't think we need a resident. It doesn't look like there's going to be any use. ”

“Then your lightning……. ”

“Astrafe? I can lend it to you if you'd like. ”

Astrafe is the name of the weapon that creates the thunder that Zeus deals with. Astrafe created dozens of lightning bolts with a single swing, and this mysterious weapon was also the symbol of Zeus. Now Zeus was saying he'd be happy to lend you the symbol.

“You're serious. ”

Loki felt that Zeus' words were no joke. Zeus truly thought of sending a meteor to harvest the fruit of Yggdrasil.

“…… Yooseong, do you think it will be possible? ”

“Uh, absolutely not. Impossible.”

“Hunters on Hunter Channel say. Impossible is the shortest possible flame. ”

“Where is that nonsense... …. ”

“I'm used to newspapers. I've been watching your channel a lot. ”

“I'm not kidding. I really can't. I can't go if I'm dead. You heard what Loki said. You said there was a monster eagle and a use for monsters. I have to save my life, too. Where's the madman walking into limbs? ”

“Are you serious? ”

“I can't even give you the Astral Astrafense. If you make a mistake, you're dead. Oh, I can't do that. I can't.”

“Then you can't do it. ”

Zeus turns his head.

"Thank goodness. You gave up? Yeah, well, his name is King of the Gods, and he's probably got a Plan B. There's no guarantee that I'm 100% successful. ’

The moment he was relieved, Zeus spoke again.

“Then we're all dead. Well, I've lived a long time, so it's time to die. It was a good life. ”

“Yes?”

I think I just heard something strange.

Give up what?

Yooseong doubted his ears. Next to him, Rocky had his eyebrows wide open, just like Yooseong.

“Zeus, what did you just say……. ”

“Zeus, what did you just say? ”

He and Loki asked Zeus at the same time.

“Tell me again? He told me everyone had to die. My decaying body is too small to stop Odin. If I fight Odin, I'll lose a hundred in a hundred. In the past, when Odin fought the Banir Brotherhood, Odin nearly annihilated the descendants of the Banir Brotherhood. We at Olympus won't be able to avoid that. Moreover, Odin doesn't make wise judgments like he did when he was young, so maybe even worse. ”

“Zeus, we have Thyr, right? And Penlor and Jormungan. If we get our youngest son out of Helheim, we stand a better chance! Why are you giving up already? ”

“I saw it through the prophecy. ”

“Yes, the prophecy isn't always true, is it? You heard from Apollon, right? Have you forgotten that Apollon's prophecies are sometimes wrong? ”

“What about Prometheus' prophecy? ”

“…… really? ”

“I can't joke around in this situation. Until now, Prometheus' prophecy has never failed. ”

“Oh, really. Yooseong? I really think you should go.... ”

Prometheus' ability to predict is so great that the gods of other dimensions will recognize it. Until now, Prometheus' prophecy has never been missed. Loki turns to Yooseong, thinking he has no choice this time. But before Loki's gaze could reach him, he fled.

“Come on? Where is she? ”

“Bouncing.”

“I'll go get him. ”

“You don't have to go. I've already sent Hermes. I'll be back on my feet soon enough. ”

* * *

I can't risk my life for something I'm not sure about! ’

If you don't have a very high chance of dying, you can try. It's hard to get something without a challenge. However, if there is a terrible challenge that the probability of failure converges at almost 100%, you cannot wake up dead.

You only have one life. It is not given twice. He challenged his precious life to the impossible and did not want to waste it.

So I didn't look back and ran away. I got the hell out of here.

“Hey, buddy. Aren't you tired?”

With all my strength, Hermes was following behind the meteor who was fleeing from the Pantheon with a relaxed look.

"When the hell did you get next to me? ’

I was filled with doubts in my head, but I couldn't stop.

“Do you see the shoes I'm wearing? This is the Tallaria. It's really fast. We can go from here to there in no time. You'll be safe in Yggdrasil with these shoes!”

“Oh, I'm not cheating. ”

“Do you know Perseus? He's a Greek hero. We lent him a few things back in the day. That's when he grabbed Medusa. You know Medusa, daughter of the gods of the sea, Porkis and Keto, who somehow turned into monsters and rocked the human world for a while. You know that, right? I heard it's in a lot of books. ”

Of course, he knows what Medusa is. Medusa is one of the most famous Greek Roman monsters that comes to mind. A snake hangs on its head instead of its hair, and when you look into its eyes, it becomes a stone. Although he has additional skills for shooting strange beams in the eye or cutting steel like a head with sharp nails, he is a frightening monster who basically turns his body to stone just by looking at it.

“Medusa was a creature of God's blood, so she was very strong after she turned into a monster. There were so many Humans who believed in us that we were stronger than we are now, but Medusa was a difficult opponent to deal with. But Perseus is just like Medusa! I caught it.Then Perseus reported my Tallaria... ”

“Oh, stop talking, I'm not moving on. ”

“You said you'd lend me tools. What's the problem?”

“Perseus was never like me in the first place. Because I'm not like him because I'm a normal person and I'm a ghost. Perseus, he's a traitor who was born to mock Zeus. Is that wrong?"

“W-we 're not wrong. Oh, but if you use the relics we lend you... ”

“If you use it, you will suffer longer and die. ”

Meteor and Perseus differ from basic hardware. Moreover, Perseus' work in the book made him smart. Unlike meteors. Yooseong was also aware of that fact.

“Why are you so negative? Think brighter. Now, think about it. When you found the Fruit of Yggdrasil! Beautiful nymphs will sing praises to your name for saving your father. And we're gonna treat you like a brother for saving my father. Our gods of Olympus pay back hundreds or thousands of times their favor. ”

“Did those who repay hundreds or thousands of times over torture Prometheus, who had been helping Olympus for so long, tie it to a cliff to give fire to humans? That's how you repay an Olympic favor? ”

According to Hermes, the gods of Olympus repay the favor hundreds and thousands of times, Yooseong ridiculed him.

“Hey, the fire was only allowed to our gods back then. That's Prometheus' fault... Oh, no. Haha...! I made a mistake. Of course we were wrong. But since then, I've reconciled with Prometheus and been doing well. And since you never will, why don't you just go home? ”

“I'm not going. ”

“Persistent. Hey, Hunter. Think about it. If Odin won the battle against Asgard, would you still be alive? I heard you woke up the Jormungan you were sleeping in and unsealed Penlor. You think Odin's gonna let you get away with something like that? ”

“If I pray all over... …. ”

“Unfortunately, Odin is thorough about everything. Let's just say there's never going to be a life that will be the seed of chaos you don't know about. ”

“…… This is driving me crazy. ”

I'm going to die. I'm going to die. The only difference was that there was not very little way to live on one side.

“Phew... I'll be back. ”

“Good thinking. ”

Hermes smiled as he gave up his escape.

“Don't be so negative. After all you've done, you're just a nagging hero. You were born a mere mortal, half-breed and pious to the throne of the spiritual spirit. And not just in the end, but in the depths of the sea, they woke up the world snake, Jormungan, and they opened the Seal of Penlor, which was sealed somewhere in Niflheim. On a scale, you slap Perseus. ”

“Yes, I don't need it, so let's just go back. ”

“Okay. Oh, right! I'll give you this in advance. ”

Hermes said so, taking off his sandals and handing them to Yooseong.

“My dad's going to borrow it anyway, so I'll give it to him in advance. Try it on. ”

Yooseong, who received the Tallaria handed over by Hermes, began examining the Tallaria.

The wings hanging from the sandals. It's like he's alive, right? ’

I thought that the sky was flying by flapping its wings with these little wings, but I didn't think so because the wings were small on the level of decorative wings.

"Hermes, there's no such thing as radish, right? ’

It was said to be a novelty used by God, but it was a bit awkward to wear other people's shoes.

But once I believed there would be no such thing as dandruff, I put on a thalaria.

“Oh, oh! ”

The body of Yooseong who believed in the Tallaria began to tremble. Talia came out of the air at her own pace.

“Hey, Hermes! How is this balanced? ”

Thanks to the spontaneously moving thalaria, his body was ridiculously dynamic.

“Phew! What are you doing? Why are you so funny? ”

“Don't just smile, just tell me how to do it! I'm gonna die of dizziness! ”

“Calm your mind and try to use your powers. Smooth as water. Then the Tallaria will respond to your powers. ”

Hermes explained it simply, but it was not easy to manipulate the Tallaria. After much wrestling with the Tallaria, Yooseong was able to deal with the Tallaria a little.
