I was puzzled by the unexpected words. The power of the wind, did she mean...?

[Alexus and I were very close thanks to Aiolos, so he used to bring me delicious windflower dishes.]

“...I see.”

I faintly remembered. Prometheus’ memories were sparse of the time when birds bit at him but there were such memories.

[I was sad when I heard that Aiolos had died. It was impossible for spring to come because the wind of revival couldn’t be applied. At that time, I was scolded a lot by the other gods.]

Huera had a sulky expression when she was reminded of that time. However, this wasn’t the important thing.

“Why is Alexus’ power of the wind here?”

Perhaps it happened when Prometheus was in so much pain from his liver being eaten that he passed out. Otherwise, the situation didn’t make sense now.

[Alexus wanted to leave memories of his time with Aiolos. I remember that at that time, Aiolos didn’t want to revive.]

I nodded. “That’s right. Aiolos didn’t want to revive. He wanted to be by Flora’s side.”

[I remember. She was a very pretty child. He brought her here once. Is she well?]

“...She’s dead. Still, I’m sure she is doing well in the Cradle of the Stars with Aiolos.”

[I see. Thank you for letting me know. I should go play with them later.]

The Cradle of the Stars—it was a place where the souls of dead stars lived. It was a new dimension of space called the ‘Star Flow System’ and was also known as the tomb of the stars. Unlike the Underworld where humans went after death, this was literally a space for the stars.

Remus was a constellation and he would probably be there. Take note, there were two ways to get to the Star Flow System. One was to go through the Underworld and the other...

“You’ll be in trouble if you go to the Kronos Gate.”

[You are well aware of the circumstances of the Celestial Palace.]

“I heard it from Prometheus.”

[I see. I understand.]

The Kronos Gate was a bridge that transcended time and space. Gaia had created it when the Celestial Palace was first made. Only the gods could use it and it was connected to many dimensions. In addition to the Star Flow System, there was also the Demon World, Underworld, and Elemental World. The Human World was in the middle and gods could easily descend to it, but it became more difficult due to the taboo. By the way, Solar was now in the Elemental World.

“Can you go? After the Ragnarok War, Pluto should’ve blocked all paths to the Underworld. Hasn’t the Underworld been blocked?”

If my memory was correct, the Star Flow System was right after the Underworld. There was the Star Flow System between Heaven and the Underworld. Pluto must’ve blocked this path.

[You don’t seem to know much about the situation there. I don’t know why but Pluto didn’t block the door. It has been like this for 500 years.]

“Um...”

[The Star Flow System is currently divided into two forces and fighting a war. There is a group from Heaven that wants to break through and a group from the Underworld that is trying to stop them.]

The Star Flow System wasn’t only full of good beings. Fallen beings such as Minotaur could go there but the disadvantage was that they had to go through the Underworld. In addition, since they were a soul, dying in this state meant they would enter eternal rest. It was death in a real sense.

[In any case, it has been a long time. Follow me.]

I followed behind her swaying dress. Huera went into the depths of the temple and the ancient design of white columns was impressive.

Huera spoke in the fresh wind, [By the way, you look like Alexus.]

“Is that so?”

[If Alexus hadn’t died at that time, he would’ve looked like you.]

“Cough...”

I didn’t deny it. It was because I thought the same thing. Soon, we reached the end of the temple. There was a large well.

“Isn’t this the place to acquire the divine wind?”

[That’s right. This is where the lord of Windia acquires the divine wind.]

The golden wind was surging in the well. It scattered in the air and became the shield that protected the temple here.

[The well contains my power of revival and the thing that Alexus left behind is also there. It was originally set up in honor of Aiolos but 500 years later, a successor came here. Perhaps this is fate.]

I grabbed my throbbing heart. What would be over there? It wasn’t included in the memories that Prometheus gave me.

[Jump into the well.]

“Huh...?”

[You don’t have to worry. The wind will protect you.]

I was somewhat anxious. I didn’t know what this playful goddess was going to do. Nevertheless, I trusted her. At the very least, her eyes were sincere. I jumped into the well without hesitation. “Uwaaaack!”

The well was deeper and wider than I thought. My echoing screams filled my ears. How far did I fall down? Suddenly, I could see the ground below me. I struggled in the air. “Aaack! Damn!”

I was about to use the cobwebs when Huera appeared with a smile and controlled the wind.

The warm wind wrapped around me and I landed on the ground. I sighed with relief. “Phew.”

[You are a good man to tease.]

“If so, I’ll tell Prometheus about what you did.”

[Oh my, I’m sorry. Accept my apology.]

Then a real apple appeared in her hand. [1]

What the hell? If she did this then who would accept the apology...

Crunch.

“It’s delicious. I will accept your apology.”

Huera smiled.

[It’s gone bad.]

“Kek! Kek!”

[It was a joke.]

...Park. [2]

If she wasn’t a god then I would’ve punched her. Once Prometheus woke up, I would have to reveal it. This damn goddess.

[The thing that Alexus left behind is here. I haven’t seen it in a long time but it is still pretty.]

The moment I turned my head in the direction of her gaze, I was at a loss for words. There was a huge, golden Aiolia.

[500 year old Aiolia]

[Rating: Myth

A golden Aiolia that the legendary cooking king, Alexus, asked Goddess Huera if he could plant in the sacred well.

It is 500 years old and has the power of revival. It has even reached the point where it has generated the power to revive itself.

There is a tremendous power to revive a person on the verge of dying.

-Once ingested, you can acquire the power of revival.

-Ten of thousands of diseases can be cured.]

“Wow.”

It was myth rated. I had heard of the legendary rating but never myth. At first glance, it must far surpass the legendary rating. Most importantly, if I ate it then I would gain the power of revival. This was a huge one. It was a divine power.

...I wanted to eat it. This was simply a tonic. Didn’t it say that it could cure diseases? It was the same as the elixir of immortality that a king in China ate. If I had the power of revival then I could save the dying.

I asked her, “Cough. Can I eat this?”

[It isn’t possible. Then you won’t be able to save the egg.]

...Damn, I had been looking forward to it. I smacked my lips together when I looked to the side and saw large text. I walked over and sat there.

-In remembrance of Aiolos, my lifelong confidant, I will leave the last weather recipe I designed here.

“This...?”

I never expected this. I thought the power of wind was the Wind Flying Kick Technique. However, it was a recipe for the wind. The final recipe that Alexus completed for Weather Cooking was the recipe of the wind. It was something Alexus completed before he died, so it was while Aiolos was still alive.

Of course, Aiolos died and he never used it since. I read the text.

-The wind is indeed flexible and scary.Sometimes it can take away someone’s home in an instant and sometimes it will become an existence of gratitude that cools the sweat on the tip of your nose.

To me, Aiolos was close to the latter.

His wind caused a brilliant applause and he was a precious friend of the sun and the moon.I couldn’t catch it but I could feel it.I couldn’t see it but I knew it.

Like love, it is always there but sometimes the value is forgotten.

To the later generations that are reading this, don’t forget the preciousness of the wind.

What followed was the recipe of the wind. I nodded as I read it. “I see.”

Alexus wondered how he could cook with the wind. One day, he got an idea from the Aiolia, whose scent varied depending on the environment. He thought of using ‘smell’ that was indispensable in cooking. It was about spreading the smell by scattering the Aiolia powder around.

I read to the end.

-Finally, I hope that the people who smell the delicious fragrance will rejoice.

May the fine winds you create cause the people to sing and dance with joy in their beautiful lives.

I hope it will become a dish that someone who is tired can lean on.

My friend Aiolos.

Clap your hands and let them cheer for you.

Please forgive me.

“......”

I read it and unknowingly felt like crying. It was an expression of longing and an apology to Aiolos.

Ttiring~

[The recipe of the wind has been learned!]

[From now on, you’ll be able to use the wind in your cooking.]

[The cuisine that meets the combination of sun and wind will achieve higher results.]

[A collaboration between the sun and the wind is possible.]

[Skill: Weather Cooking has been enhanced.]

I opened the skills window.

[Weather Cooking (Active)]

[Rating: Legendary

Current Recipes: Sun, wind.

Weather Cooking is the secret technique of the legendary Cooking King Alexus. You can cook with the sun, the moon, the stars, the wind, the rain, the clouds, the snow, and the thunderstorm.]

This brought together the first and the last recipes. Now what I needed was the cloud. Apart from the sun, the clouds were indispensable in Weather Cooking and in the Flying Weather Dance. Other weather, except for the sun, the moon, and the stars, couldn’t be created without the clouds. Then a voice could be heard behind me.

[You must be looking at the mural. Then I’ll prepare to wake up the egg.]

“Yes~ I understand.” I responded indifferently. By the way, there was a mural? I looked at it and really saw a mural. Was this perhaps? “Isn’t this the Wind Flying Kick Technique? Indeed it is.”

I had wondered why this had been missing. I followed the movements on the mural bit by bit. Underneath the last mural was written:

-For my future descendant who might come someday.

In order to use the Wind Flying Kick Technique, you need to eat at least a 10 year old Aiolia and train in the Flying Breathing Techniques.

However, you might not have the time.

Thus, I planted an Aiolia for the day you come.

Since it is a precious Aiolia that the goddess of wind is looking after, you might be able to achieve a higher level than me.

Keep in mind that the most important thing is to find your own wind.

The wind isn’t created on its own but can be ridden as it flows.

Wait. In other words, the 500 year old Aiolia was prepared for me...

The next moment, I couldn’t help being surprised by the voice that came from behind me.

[I know you’re pretty so it’s time to wake up. Eat this and grow up.]

Crunch. There was the sound of something being bitten. It was definitely something being bitten. Yes, for example, a 500 year old Aiolia. I was astonished and quickly turned around. Then a message appeared in front of me.

Ttiring~

[Aiolos’ Egg has absorbed the 500 year old Aiolia.]

[1] The word for apology can also means apple

[2] Remember that this is how he says fu*k
