I Obtained a Mythic Item

Episode 304 Flowers blooming in the snow (4)

“There are two new grades. The first is S+ grade. It is literally a grade above S-class, and it is stipulated that it can be reached only with the consent of five or more S-class radars in each country.

Ahn Ho-yeon, Kim Yoo-jung, and Seo E-na Radar, colleagues of Min Jae-hyeon and Radar. Hearty congratulations everyone!”

Three people, including Kim Yoo-jung, came forward and were awarded medals.

It was a square plaque of appreciation made of crystal, and it had a pretty luxurious design.

However, the members of Nine only briefly expressed their gratitude. I hadn't had much of a conversation with Richard.

Each of them had a slightly disapproving expression on their faces. Jaehyun somehow seemed to know the reason, but he didn't express it outwardly.

After all, there will be an opportunity to talk about him later.

The other members who did not reach the newly established S+ level were treated slightly differently.

They were upgraded to the old highest grade, S-class, and thus naturally obtained the right to participate in the World Radar Conference.

In fact, in the case of Lee Jae-sang and Kwon So-yul, it was only natural that they were not to the extent of reaching the S+ level from the beginning. In the first place, rather than strength, they were talents specialized in the other side.

Again, if now is the right time, it will be the right time.

If you attract more attention than necessary, bad things can happen later.

There was no reason to explain that it was always good to do only what you could handle.

...Of course, it would be another matter if one were to ask whether there were people with the guts to touch an adversary's allies.

But that wasn't all of the World Radar Administration's announcement.

Richard, who continued his presentation in front of the podium, continued.

“The second new level is one that is only allowed for one person.

Ex-class! It means out of specification. We know which radars this term fits best.

During the last Red Gate incident, Min Jae-Hyun Raider successfully solved the problem and led the battle against Valkyrie to victory! By giving this title alone to him, the Society wishes to praise his bravery.”

Wow!

Applause poured in from all directions.

But Jaehyun knew. That it's not all that positive.

In order to eventually confine yourself.

That it is trying to fill the shackles to make a hero.

He knew instinctively.

I could feel my lips twisting slightly.

Could it be stopped without Jaehyun?

That's right.

Because Valkyrie was strong and she broke the wall to defeat them.

Because I tried to overcome the limit and see the scenery above it.

But there was one great contradiction in Richard's words.

Does Jaehyun really have to save everyone?

Should I be a hero?

That was another matter.

If Jaehyun was a blind sage who wanted to save someone with a story, Jaehyun would have tried to save Sigrun at the very end.

After all, she moved involuntarily and it was as if she was being manipulated.

Odin and Freya. I don't know what kind of relationship there is between the two, but she is also a victim anyway.

But Jaehyun didn't.

He killed Sigrun without hesitation.

There is only one thing that is most important to Jaehyun right now.

Can you protect what you value?

If it's not mine, I won't protect it even at the risk of it.

It was extremely selfish, but also natural.

Therefore, Jaehyun had no intention of guaranteeing everyone's safety as they wanted.

As long as no one is dying in front of my eyes and my family and colleagues are not dying, that is enough. Even the wicked will not go forward until they are saved.

‘To protect oneself must be oneself.'

Jaehyun also knew.

Now is the time to struggle.

Even more so because he was weak.

They should not lean on themselves.

Also, there was only one way to resolve this dependence.

‘Yggdrasil. Attack the tower there and break the control device. It's to neutralize the system and break the growth limits of the radars.'

Mimir said in the past.

The top floor of Yggdrasil's Spiral Tower. There will be a control tower there.

That is the origin of the Aesir system, and this system is a device that controls all awakened people so that they cannot grow further.

He also said that those who were tamed by this system would later become the Einherjar and become Odin's army.

Mimir said to break it.

To prevent Odin from using humans as limbs. So that we can't expand our forces further and make humans stronger in a human way.

‘I can't protect everyone. Then I just need to give them the strength to fight.'

We need to move the Awoken all over the world.

It is not a weak existence that is protected by itself, but it must be made to advance.

It was necessary to remind them that that is the essence of radar.

Jaehyun nodded slightly. It was the moment when his next goal was set.

‘To do so, the next ordeal is the first step.'

Also, Jaehyun had to become stronger in order to do that.

Yggdrasil.

In order to destroy the control tower there, Mimir's proposed minimum deity level was liberation level 3.

It had already been reached once, but it was a story when it was possible to completely control the power of representation.

Jaehyun recalled the last story of Hel he had heard when he left the temple of Hel.

[The fourth trial. Paying for it will help break the ban on your powers. A guy specialized in that area will be waiting for you.]

* * *

“So. The fourth ordeal or something. Departure is today?”

Kim Yoo-jung, who was sitting on a luxurious sofa in the circle room, suddenly opened her mouth.

I was sitting crookedly on a dark mustard-colored sofa that looked expensive, but somehow I didn't feel good.

Jaehyun nodded softly.

“okay. It won't take long.”

“...It's because I'm worried about Yoojung and I too. Are you really okay with being alone? No matter how long ago I was a patient, so urgently...”

“Anyway, the ordeal is prepared for only one adversary. Even if you go together, you won't be able to help. It would be better if you send them away comfortably so that your heart doesn’t become heavy.”

Hella said that, alleviating her worries. However, the concerns of colleagues continued.

It was because the fact that Jaehyun might have a lonely fight again was painful for them.

“You shouldn’t worry too much. For the time being, even the Aesir gods can't move easily. ‘Mirror of Equilibrium'. In exchange for breaking it, the ?sir also lost most of their divinity.

It will probably take quite a while to recover.”

equilibrium mirror. Hella had explained it to the Nine members.

It was one of the artifacts that supported the nine worlds, and it was an object that maintained all the bonds and restrictions in the world.

However, in order to break this, the user must inject a large amount of his/her divinity.

Odin made the decision to prevent the reappearance even at the cost of this... and

it snowed.

long winter. Fimbulbert had begun.

“Hella, but… the fourth ordeal. Paying for it could hurt Jaehyun, right?”

Those were the words of Ahn Ho-yeon. Now, Hella and them were able to talk without hesitation.

Even when Jaehyun was hospitalized, there was quite an awkwardness between her and her colleagues, but it didn't last long.

In fact, whether in cat or human form, Hella had a pretty cute appearance. It was not difficult to win the hearts of the members.

Wouldn't it be great if it's popular enough to bother me again?

‘Heh.'

Hella laughed a little inwardly, but she didn't show it and kept a cool tone.

“It will hurt. But it won't die. I don’t think it will be difficult if Jaehyun believes in the strength he has accumulated so far.”

“...It sounds like you're rolling until you're about to die again.”

Jaehyun murmured, swearing lightly.

But the decision has already been made. Now there was nowhere to retreat to.

The beginning of Ragnarok.

It was a representation of how clear it meant.

‘end. What started cannot be undone now.'

what must be prevented.

Jaehyun stood up from his seat, repeating that.

It's time to get up.

Now, there are only two ordeals left.

If you clear all of them, Jaehyun will be able to reach level 4 of Divinity Liberation. Loki and Odin were able to grow to just below Thor.

‘It's really not too long now. Asgard... until reaching Odin.'

Jaehyun moved his body without a moment to feel new emotions.

way out of the ordeal.

The members who came along lined up outside the room. He had come to see off after himself.

“I’ll be back.”

Jaehyun smiled faintly.

He walked away feeling not too bad.

The next ordeal was the sea of Midgard.

* * *

On the other hand, when Jaehyun and his colleagues say goodbye without tears.

The embarrassment of Idun, the goddess of youth, was bursting out on the terrace in Niflheim's subspace.

“Hehe!? stop eating!! Do you know how many bowls I’m eating right now?!”

Idun was horrified to see the man eating the food as if he had heard the previous rumor.

Of course, her reaction had its own justification.

The man sitting across from her.

It wasn't enough that he had come to my house, and he was inhaling food at a mad speed!

He's swallowing the food whole from the bowl, as if he's been caught.

Does it feel like seeing someone who has been starving for 10,000 years?

“Ha...”

Idun sighed as he touched his forehead.

The face of a man now eating food on his terrace.

This, of course, was familiar.

Loki.

The head of the anti-Aesir coalition came to his garden to clean up the house.

There were already piled bowls beside him, showing his appetite.

In fact, from the beginning, Loki in Norse mythology was a god famous for his gluttony.

Truly a food fighter.

Eating lots of food quickly was one of his specialties.

said Loki, picking his teeth with a toothpick while the food was being refilled.

“Ah~ What’s going on between us? It's been a while since I've escaped and I'm in the best mood! Any more grain wine here? Wine is fine too.”

“please!”

Idun appealed, but he didn't even listen.

Note that.

The reason why Loki was now in the garden of Idun was surprisingly simple.

‘Actually, when I was first released, I was thinking of going straight to the antagonist... but that's too dangerous.'

No matter how you think about it, it was a very risky choice.

It's like telling Odin where you are.

Even if he didn't, he would be looking for him with his eyes on.

No matter how much Loki was, he couldn't brag about telling Odin that he was going to catch me because I was here. Anyway, there are a lot of people who are on their shoulders.

Even if it was a little out of temper, it was necessary to develop caution.

‘It's better to hide here until you recover your strength.

Both to the enemy and to me.'

To move hastily is poison.

And the same goes for Aesir.

The war has already begun, but whoever strikes first can completely change the outcome.

The balance of power was still narrowly on the side of Asgard.

well anyway that's it

“Ha... I think the meat is a bit lacking. Idun, how the hell do you live on this kind of grass? There's no such thing as protein.”

“…don’t you think you eat too much?”

“They say that men who eat well are popular. Although I am popular because I am good looking.”

“under.”

Idun put his hand on his face again.

At that moment, the door to Idun's garden suddenly opened, and a being came to visit them.

A dragon with a massive body and fangs. It was Nidhogg.

[Idun! Is that true?! That Loki successfully escaped the prison...?]

Nidhogg hurriedly opened the door and entered, looking at the scattered dishes and freaking out.

[...For 10,000 years, it seems that the stomach hasn't shrunk at all. He's crazy.]

“Ah... no matter how much I eat, it's not enough. Nidhogg Do you have something to eat? My appetite has changed a bit, so I like to eat monster meat.”

[Crazy bastard.]

Nidhogg deliberately said it twice. However, the trickster in front of me just laughed and kept pushing food into my mouth.

It's as if you're having a conversation that has nothing to do with you.

When Idun was angry and was about to leave.

Suddenly, her shoulders started to tremble.

“…Nidhogg? Did you step on my flower bed by any chance?”

At that moment, Nidhogg's spine went cold. Come to think of it, I don't think I paid much attention to it because

I was rushing back... “I can't go back until both of them are restored.”

After a while, Idun brought a trowel and a hoe.

Chaeng-Geurang!

The farming tools she threw away made a harsh grinding sound.

said Nidhogg, scratching his nose blankly.

[That... is there anything bigger?]

In his hand was the trowel that Idun had thrown out before he knew it.
