chapter 142
142 – The King of Demons
Zeus, the great king of the gods, is too troublesome to introduce anymore.
By the way, what does that king have to do with the large quest that I’ve been forced to accept?
When I felt a little suspicious, the Queen of the Gods, who noticed this like a ghost, let out a deep sigh.
“It would make sense to tell you. The profession that you now hold in your heart, handed down from the old chestnut mother, has been coveted by Zeus since ancient times.”
“This one?”
There is one thing I naturally realized while taking over the business from Hera.
Why did Hera have so many monster-born subordinates?
The master of fate feared by all (O κύριος της μοίρας που όλοι φοβούνται.).
A business with a truly meaningful and enigmatic name.
Hera, as the name suggests, appeared as a villain or a villain in this myth, or she used to have gods and monsters who lived in fear as a being of natural business as her subordinates.
How the Queen of the Gods, with her marriage and family ethics as her business, drives the boss mobs under her command is still a topic of discussion in the Forest of Heroes.
“My dear teacher, my dear friend Nyx, it is a profession that I possessed to empower me and to embrace the gods of old mysteries.”
However, karma eventually fades and disappears if the possessor does not do it.
The divine profession of family and marriage, which Hera shouldered after ascending to the throne of the queen, and the divine profession of magic obtained as a priest of the old gods during her mysterious maiden days were incompatible.
In addition, since the rise of Typhon, the fear of alien gods has reached its peak in Greece, and thanks to this, countless spirit beasts and beasts have returned to the abyss of Tartarus by the heroes and gods born of Zeus.
Even Hera, the most powerful mage I’ve ever seen, can no longer handle this profession.
“A loyal and reassuring watcher, Argos, a chimera who was always energetic even though he was a bit immature. Kalkinos liked to take a nap in the warm sea. Python, who was chattering while coiled up on top of such a Kalkinos.
The brave Lassalas, the prince of Nemea, the wise Hydra, the adviser of Lerne, the intelligent Orthos, who ran a ranch with Gerion, the honest Cerberus, the gatekeeper of the underworld, and the witty Sphinx who enjoyed riddles.
All of them are children like my children, pitiful gods turned into monsters at the hands of the world.”
“Uh…”
I am amazed at Hera, who vaguely recalls each name, and the list of boss mobs.
Isn’t statuesque dreaming referring to a situation like this?
‘This is… A mother’s heart?’
No, are you just like a kindergarten child reciting mythical level boss mobs that will blow up two or three countries if you drop just one in the middle of Greece?
‘I wonder if I was like this in my previous life, when I was casually shooting the twelve demons.’
Somehow, the Four Heavenly Kings and the bishops screamed when they saw me wielding a manger sword in one hand and a windspear in the other. Even then, what was covered with qigong was reverse perforation.
“According to the words of those who have lost their guardians, the fate of beings who have to adapt to a weakened providence is ultimately miserable.”
In the midst of my slightly bewildered thoughts, Hera’s bitter voice brought me back to my senses.
The white-eyed Argos, who died at the hands of Hermes while carrying out her orders, and the giant serpent, Python, who fell after being hit by arrows at the hands of Apollo and Artemis.
They fell while carrying out their duties as her faithful subordinates and became one of her profession.
The heterogeneous gods left in modern times are gradually declining in their spirituality and degenerating into monsters.
“Chimera, whose innate spirituality was the weakest, eventually turned into a monster first and died at the hands of Bellerophon. But now even the strongest children are slowly fading away and losing their spirituality…”
“Ah…”
The profession that Hera possessed and which I have now inherited was the providence itself, which protects, breathes, and further advances the existence of those who carry out their destiny.
However, the owner of such a business could not manage the business in relation to other important businesses, and the king of the gods scattered the enemies of the monsters, the tribe of heroes, on a fictitious day.
It is said that the wise men of the heterogeneous and the guardian deities of the heterogeneous have eventually fallen into monsters and monsters, causing fear from humans and enmity from heroes.
“But why is the king of the gods aiming for such a business?”
Already, Zeus is the patron god of countless heroes and at the same time the father of Hercules, he is also called the god of heroes in Greece today.
Why would such a god want to control the providence of monsters?
“According to what you said, I feel sorry for you struggling with a job that I can’t handle, but that’s true.
I know that the inside is different.”
Nothing.
It’s been over a thousand years since we cheated and lied on Fictional Day!
“I’m sick of it now,” Hera shook her head.
“Because if you get your hands on the merits of the two opposing beings, a hero and a monster, you will be able to rule Greece even more perfectly.”
“Huh, it wouldn’t be that simple…”
Once upon a time there was a guy like that in Moorim.
The explosion generated when cold and firearms collide is powerful enough to be comparable to the imperial army’s gunpowder, so let’s use the power of the collision to overcome the realm.
Because conflict is conflict, the guy who learned both polar and negative holes under the hypothesis that he would be able to exert even greater power eventually failed to overcome the conflicting effect and became a crippled person.
Didn’t I also cough up blood while trying to use Artemis’ divine power in Pasos?
However, if one body possesses two large, conflicting professions, no matter how powerful a being is, if it tries to handle the conceptual conflict, the aftermath will be quite large.
“I said the same thing as you. I didn’t even hear it by ear.”
The greatest flaw of Zeus, according to Hera, was his confidence in his power and his greed.
The business done with that power is definitely just and fair, but the endless greed for power to achieve it is such that as a queen, I can only worry.
“I think it was probably because of the big wounds from Typhon. Even so, it shouldn’t be.”
“Yes. I wonder if the god Zeus will properly manage this business.”
Basically, will the god-king, who represents the current Greek order and ethics, try to manage the demons and monsters who inherited the blood of the enemy through divine business?
I don’t know, but I think he’ll raise his sons well and throw them away with experience.
And this was something that Hera, who was the guardian deity of the beasts, could never leave behind.
“However, my profession was also limited, so I was planning to deal with the unsightly great hero and end the suffering of the poor children… Just in time, you caught my eye.”
So, does that mean that Hercules caused such an uproar while doing the 12 quests, that it was one of the measures the Queen of the Gods made to avoid Zeus’ clutches?
That’s a property dispute on a god-level scale.
“This is what I learned from watching this Hero’s Forest. Just like heroes, the children of old mysteries must unite as a powerful center and overcome the times.”
And the focal point was that the country met the three signs mentioned above.
“Then my task is to deal with those monsters, right?”
“To be precise, it is to liberate the spirits and powers of spiritual beasts who are bound to fallen bodies, and reclaim them by making them into pure spiritual bodies.”
At present, the business that I had embraced was empty, devastated and weak, like a country without people.
It was my job to put the souls who had benefited from that profession into the vessel, to make them bloom, and to shape those who exist under that profession once again.
‘In a way, I’m telling you to return to your real job (?).’
For me, it was a very good thing among good things.
I can’t believe it yet, but if everything works out as Hera said, the monsters that even Zeus and Hercules struggled with will become my subordinates.
Let’s think about it.
If you throw it into the modern world, the enormous monsters who will build a city out of buildings with copyright and portrait rights will become my subordinates.
The Queen of the Gods gave me a very big gift in the car that I decided to build my own power against the Olympus beast that was approaching, and the prophecy that Nesneria was entangled with.
“Hmm… Are you still dissatisfied?”
“Oh, no, what. That is an honor.”
To be honest, it’s not much of an honor.
Soowon from the Untapped Office, gold dust is falling from the sky.
However, in order not to show a positive expression, As probably read my expression differently, and Hera looked a bit worried.
“Yes, even so, the heavy task of a new business and the task of facing the most dangerous beings can be burdensome…”
“No, it’s okay.”
Of course, the face was still in a bad condition.
Anyway, when I noticed the goddess, she seemed to be very sorry, and there seemed to be another corner to come out.
“Good. If no blessings are bestowed on a young god who is entrusted with an important task, then which believer would follow the goddess?”
As if she had made up her mind about something, Hera stood up from her seat again and put her hand on my head and declared.
[I bless you in the name of the guardian spirit of all families and marriages. The lovers and their families who are loved by you will be protected in the name of Hera, and no breast milk will be able to touch them.]
“…?!”
When I was startled and wide-eyed by the queen’s blessing, Hera looked at me with a mischievous smile.
“Are you surprised? Other gods and children see me as the guardian of marriage, but you see me as a sorcerer.”
So I thought I’d give it a little surprise, but the response was better than I thought, and the Queen of the Gods was proud.
