Episode 408 Trickster (2)
The first time Jae-hyeon doubted his identity was when he awakened to his godhood.
A desperate situation in which Hela died while confronting Heimdall.
Jaehyun awakened his unique skill, Divinity Usurpation.
moment of crisis. The voices of his colleagues and family were heard in his ears, followed by the voice of an unknown being.
After that, he gained rank and awakened his strength.
I don't know, but Jaehyun knew one thing for sure. The mysterious voice I heard then. The fact that it had a big impact on his awakening.
After the incident was resolved, Jaehyun sighed and thought.
heard at the time.
Who was the owner of the voice I heard when I faced the giant of mana?
‘But at the time I couldn't answer. Because there was no clue.'
However, the next moment was a little different.
The voice I heard when I first opened the Red Moon Plateau Field. It has conveyed its intentions a little more clearly.
‘Do I need the power to protect everyone?'
The voice asked at the time.
When Jaehyun answered yes, he gave strength.
It was of course a dangerous force that could destroy the representation, but he eventually succeeded in enduring it and making it his own.
It was.
The voices heard from the world in one's own image were there to make the representation stronger after all.
There were three keywords.
Dwelling and questioning voices. Awakening.
Whenever he reached his limits, Jaehyun heard his voice.
without question. And he came back stronger.
identity of the voice.
Jaehyun was convinced that the purpose of that voice was his own growth.
And now the situation has come to get a clear answer to him. Loki. Because there was a person in front of me who knew everything.
“Loki. Did you plant an alter ego in my ego? That's why you gave me strength every time I fell...”
“Wait a minute! I asked the question first! Um... well, there's nothing I can't answer first, so let me tell you... I'm not the owner of the voice I've been hearing. Its owner is a worthy owner who can handle you.”
“master?”
“okay. But I can't answer more here. This is unavoidable. We'll find out anyway in the near future. That too, by yourself.”
“...I can't.”
After organizing his thoughts, Jaehyun pondered over the answer to Loki's question this time. It's a pity that you can't solve your doubts.
But maybe there's a reason Loki comes out like this.
There are restrictions on the disclosure of information. You must be in such a situation.
Of course, I wondered what the restriction was that blocked Loki's mouth, but... I can't ask this. Because of this, Jaehyun passed on the situation by thinking about the answer.
First he thought
A few fragments that he remembered while opening the second field magic this time. It was too distant to be considered her own.
However, Loki said a moment ago. How far did you get your memory back?
‘That means these memories... are all mine?'
Where the hell does this memory originate from?
There wasn't much to know. But there was no need to worry.
Isn't there someone in front of you who can tell you the answer? At least if it was Loki, he would have told himself about the clue.
I'm sure it's because I asked this question first.
It's a pity that I didn't hear the answer to the question from earlier... but
Jaehyun raised his head, cutting off the thought.
“I saw some memories.”
Jaehyun quietly opened his mouth. After that, I was able to talk comfortably as if I were talking to a very close friend.
“All I remember were three. The first was the memory of Freyja and her child, whom she had seen at Mimir's Well in the past.
The second one was me standing at the forefront of the war in the past... that is, 10,000 years ago, and the last one was......” There was no choice but to
stop reappearing and look at Loki. Loki seemed to be urging him to speak.
Jaehyun made eye contact with him.
“It was a memory of me drinking with you in a shabby bar wearing strange clothes.”
Loki's pupils narrow. Jaehyun's words continued.
“Loki. What are you to me?”
“......I am.”
Loki's eyes began to tremble more than ever.
Soon after, his lips began to open slowly.

“...That's how Tyr lost his life. In the process, it seems that the second star of the distant abyss was also stolen by them.”
“Eventually, it came to this situation.”
Odin calmly answered Hugin's report, sat on the throne, and closed his eyes for a moment.
Even Hlidskalp, who is said to contemplate all of the nine worlds, cannot know the actions of the adversary and those related to him.
It is also unknown what purpose they started the war with and why they made the worst decision to kill Tyr first.
But one thing is certain. Now, the worries about the excessive intervention of the divine power are gone. They also showed their will to fight an all-out war against them.
I don't know why their movements, which were passive in the war, changed... but
now was not the time to back down. Haven't you already told the people of Asgard?
He said that he would achieve a perfect victory in this war and that he would finally succeed in his long-cherished plan to put all nine worlds under his feet.
There is nothing more to worry about at this point.
Odin just perfectly accomplishes what he sets out to do.
as it always has been.
In the process, the deaths of Tyr and Heimdall were just happenings.
To Odin, the presence of two gods is a usable hand. It was nothing more and nothing less. How many people in the past jumped into the fire without hesitation at their command.
The higher you climb to the top of the world tree and the higher your reputation, the higher you get. There will be many who want to become his subordinates.
They will sacrifice their lives in madness, and once again Odin's name will become a myth and spread throughout the nine worlds.
Power was like that. What do you want to hold in your hands?
That's what being strong meant.
but.
‘In the process, the first step is to change the fate that has been determined, even if it means extinguishing the distant star of the abyss and something with the corresponding power.'
There are two pieces of stars in the far abyss that have already been stolen by the adversary. It was now difficult to neutralize the prophecy as easily as he had planned.
‘The power of fate is tying me up more than I thought. The adversary continues to deny me. Kill me and bring me down from here.'
Odin couldn't admit it. The existence of the adversary and the death of oneself.
How did you get to where you are today?
From just an ordinary god to the heights of Asgard.
He dedicated his eyes to Mimir and hung upside down from the top of Yggdrasil for nine days, creating his current self. traveled all over the place I looked at the high places.
and reached So this seat.
“It is mine.”
he will never be defeated
To do so, it was necessary to erase the prophecy.
There is only one way left now.
As expected, the work could not proceed.
then?
Of course, you have to sacrifice something else.
Did you say equivalent exchange?
If something else with the same value is offered as a sacrifice, what if we build a formulaic formula of magic that can do that?
As the caster, Odin will be able to invoke transcendental magic, such as reversing time or neutralizing prophecies.
The star fragments of the distant abyss, which are lacking, can be replaced in that way.
‘If that happens... the antagonist of the prophecy will no longer be my opponent. What he has is only the power itself called destiny.'
“An antagonist of prophecy.”
Odin remembered him and gave a small smile.
“No matter how strong you are, you won't be able to stop me this time. You are just a small stream of water to change one huge flow.......” * *

“I am the head of the Anti-Aesir Alliance and a being called a trickster. In a word, he's an incredibly handsome guy.”
Loki held out his chest and said confidently. Jaehyun glared at him like he was going to kill him.
“...You know I didn't ask for that, right?”
Loki was startled by his bloody words, but soon came to his senses and accepted the words. But it wasn't the answer Jaehyun wanted.
“I have something to tell you. adversary.”
Suddenly, Jaehyun wrinkled his brow at Loki's attitude as he smiled while saying that. therefore. Are you going to get lost without answering the question now?
I'll listen to the answer this time. Thinking so, Jaehyun paused for a moment as he was about to speak. It was because Loki came to him before he knew it and put his hand on his head.
Jijijik....
As if there was a microphone noise, a grotesque sound resonated in my head.
Jaehyun shook his head in surprise. Loki was away again.
“This is all I can give you. That should be a good enough answer. Of course not right away... Trust me.”
“I’d rather trust a passing dog.”
Jaehyun was sarcastic, but Loki clearly ignored him and replied.
“For now, let's think about dealing with the Aesir gods. you can be stronger Of course you know that, right?”
“of course.”
“From today until the war begins, I will make you stronger than I am. So that you can kill Odin even if I become a bait.”
“......what?”
Jaehyun was dumbfounded and asked in response.
Although he was speaking naturally, Loki's words were too absurd. I thought of course I would get his help when defeating Odin.
what?
You'll be the bait, so tell yourself to kill Odin?
Doesn’t it mean that you want to do all the cool things and fall for it?
“It’s thick.”
“Ugh! He's the head of the anti-Aesir coalition, but he still has a habit of talking...!”
Fuck!
At that moment, Loki's jaw snapped. It was because Jaehyun's fist hit him directly.
Jaehyun sees Loki's deceased face as he pours his magic power.
he said with a confident expression.
“First, you should explain that you are qualified to teach me.”
“…Did you eat one of these?”
The trickster immediately straightened up and looked at Jaehyun's follow-up. The attack is standard, but there are irregular patterns mixed in.
Is it true that the growth of the adversaries is something they built up on their own?
Loki's eyes, looking at Jaehyun's attack, were colored transparent gold.
The color is exactly the same as that of reproduction. Two pairs of pupils face each other.
It was a truly bizarre landscape.
