Episode 156.
Hercules’ promise to give gifts from Hephaestus and Hades.
“Did you two give Hercules a gift?”
Beyond the screen to Siwoo’s question.
Hercules jumped out of the bottomless pit.
And then he knelt down neatly again.
Of course, it was still a half-standing position, but anyway.
[That’s right.]
Hercules answered with the utmost courtesy.
[He sent me a gift to thank me for correcting my wife’s affair.]
“uh….”
This was a bit unexpected.
Actually, I thought you would be really angry.
In a way, isn’t this like exposing your wife’s shortcomings to the world?
But if you think about it… .
‘Are you grateful?’
Anyway, I corrected my wife’s affair.
More precisely, it taught me something I had never known my entire life.
It was the same with exposing one’s corruption to the world.
Two goddesses whose images were shattered on YouTube.
Because I won’t commit adultery any more.
‘Have you completely eradicated the affair?’
If you look closely, it was indeed a thankful thing.
Maybe that’s why.
“What kind of gift is it?”
Siwoo was very excited.
No, think about it.
None other than Hades and Hephaestus.
There’s no way the gifts those two give are ordinary.
‘Could it be a subscription like the Sphinx?’
That was highly likely.
It wasn’t bad though.
The current membership subscription fee is a whopping 16 billion.
The current subscription alone was worth a fortune.
Siwoo waited for Hercules’ words with great excitement.
But why is that?
[hmm….]
Hercules’ expression was quite serious.
There was no word for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.
Something I wanted to do for a moment.
[There is good news and bad news…]
Suddenly, Hercules’ voice was heard.
[What would you like to hear first?]
“Good news and bad news?”
[That’s why…]
Hercules could not open his mouth easily.
I couldn’t figure out why he was doing that.
But it’s better to get hit first.
“I don’t know what it is, but I hear bad news first.”
In response to Siwoo’s answer, Hercules struck his head on the ground as if committing a grave sin.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
Now I thought it would be like that.
The endless pit that has formed again.
Inside, the prayers of Hercules were heard.
[I can’t go to where the teacher is!]
“…..?”
Siwoo was wondering something.
“But?”
What do you mean?
So why is this bad news?
Wasn’t that something you already knew?
Then, with a start, Hercules jumped out of the pit.
[that is….]
Hercules seemed speechless for a moment.
And again.
[Hades gave me Cornucopia as a gift.]
Hades is like a grandfather to Hercules.
It wasn’t strange that Hercules used honorifics towards Hades.
Of course, the title of Hercules itself was awkward.
anyway.
“Cornucopia?”
It was quite an unfamiliar name.
I had a vague recollection.
Beyond the screen.
Hercules took something out and showed it to me.
It was something that looked like a large cow’s horn.
The inside looks empty and hollow.
At first glance, it looked like a horn.
“Wait, isn’t that…?”
It was only then that Siwoo was able to realize what it was.
A very long time ago.
Zeus, Poseidon, Hades.
It was at a time when these three gods were drawing lots to decide who would rule where.
I wonder why they decide such an important thing by drawing lots.
anyway.
The result of this lottery.
Zeus is the sky.
Poseidon is the sea.
Hades rules over the underworld.
The problem was this underworld.
The underworld is a desolate land with nothing.
Hades made a mistake in drawing lots and was condemned to spend the rest of his life in the underworld.
When the results actually came out like this, I was embarrassed.
Hades is the eldest of the three.
It was a situation where the eldest brother had to rule the worst world.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t draw lots now.
In response, Zeus and Poseidon gift Hades a treasure.
that’s the.
[I didn’t know that Hades would give me this…]
It was Cornucopia.
Something that looks like a large horn.
The function was simple.
[They say you can take out as much of the food you want here as you want.]
The owner was free to take out whatever food he wanted.
A barren underground world.
It was Zeus and Poseidon’s consideration to let them eat at least something delicious.
To be exact, it was a bribe to appease Hades’ discontent.
And there were no limits.
You could literally take out as much food as you wanted.
[You can take out any food and eat it.]
Hercules put his large hand into the Cornucopia.
And then, swoosh, he pulled out a pure white protein bar.
Hercules put the protein bar in his mouth without hesitation.
[The nutritional balance is perfect… wow. Nothing is lost when the protein is absorbed into the body.]
That means there’s nothing better than that for muscle synthesis.
It could be seen as a deteriorated version of the elixir.
Is that why?
Muck muck.
Hercules chewed and swallowed the protein bar vigorously.
At the same time, crunch!
Hercules’ muscles began to bulge.
Muscle synthesis was taking place in real time.
I could tell just by looking at that.
“crazy….”
A truly fraudulent artifact.
But it didn’t end there.
The truly fraudulent ability could be said to be this:
[It is said that you can also take out goods as you wish.]
This could also be done with money.
So, you could withdraw money indefinitely.
As much as the owner wants.
This also had no limits.
Hence the name, money copy bug.
No, it was a horn of plenty.
Why Hades didn’t complain about the lottery.
The reason Hades came to rule the underworld quietly.
I could understand it right away when I saw that Cornucopia.
[I don’t know why you gave me such a precious thing…]
Hercules reached in again and pulled out a protein bar.
Again, messy.
Hercules chewed and swallowed the protein bar.
“……”
And Siwoo had nothing to say.
I really felt like something was wrong.
Why did you give me that?
Because you really corrected Persephone’s infidelity?
Hades, the epitome of pure love.
Did he love Persephone that much?
But even so, it is still like that.
… Erai, I don’t know.
What does the reason matter?
There is one thing that is important.
[I would like to give this to you as a token of my gratitude for your kindness.]
It was said that Cornucopia would become Siu’s.
This meant that money could be copied.
It was said that the medicinal herbs of the elixir could be used indefinitely.
A complete transformation in no time.
Thus, it goes beyond transformation and becomes an immortal.
The act of shedding one’s physical body and becoming a god.
The same thing that Hercules experienced when he was a human.
Even that mythical realm could have been possible.
“ah….”
How should I describe this feeling?
My mind becomes dizzy and I ascend.
The muscles all over my body start to tremble.
My whole body was vibrating at hertz rates, as if trying to make contact.
If only I had that.
If only that were available, everything would be over.
10 billion or 100 billion.
Whether it’s 1 trillion, 10 trillion, or 100 trillion.
Whether it’s Nabal or a plague!
There was no problem.
This is truly the beginning of paradise after suffering.
‘…for a moment.’
At that moment, a thought crossed Siwoo’s mind.
These are the words that none other than Hercules first said.
That’s why I said this was bad news.
Siwoo looked at Hercules with eyes that seemed to be wondering if it was true.
Hercules slowly looked at Siwoo.
[But I…]
Hercules, who couldn’t bear to meet Shiwoo’s eyes.
[I can’t go to where the teacher is.]
I heard something terrible…
Truly vicious and cruel.
Cruel and cruel.
Cold, ruthless words finally reached Si-woo’s ears.
“ah.”
Bad news.
No, it’s not bad news.
“ah….”
It was just fucking news!
The ascended spirit has returned home.
The muscles of my entire body were trembling.
Muscle cells in a trance.
All of that suddenly came to a halt.
Only one resentment and question remained in Siwoo’s mind.
“why?”
[yes?]
“Why… why on earth…?”
Siwoo asked with a very trembling voice.
“Why can’t you come here?”
[This world and the teacher’s world cannot interfere─.]
“Other gods come easily.”
[that….]
“What about the blond guy I first met, then?”
[That’s why…]
“There’s a black stone in our house too.”
[I don’t know how that could be possible…]
“But why… why can’t Hercules come?”
[That, that…]
Hercules was at a loss and was at a loss.
Crunch… .
Hercules’ muscles also writhed helplessly.
“There is a way.”
[It seems so, but the problem is that I don’t know how to do it…]
“If you don’t know, you can ask other gods.”
[I asked the Sphinx last time, though…]
Hercules scratched the back of his head with a troubled expression.
[The Sphinx didn’t know either.]
“……”
Siwoo was at a loss for words.
The Sphinx is a being with omniscience.
Of course, it wasn’t the ability of perfect omniscience.
But it had to be assumed that there was nothing the Sphinx did not know.
There were two exceptions.
If there is no answer.
In case of contradiction.
Except these two.
That means,
It was tantamount to saying there was no way.
At least it meant that there was no answer, or that it was a case of contradiction.
[I’ll try to find it somehow…]
It was no different from saying that there was no way to know right now.
at last.
It was no different from saying that there was no way for Siwoo to obtain Cornucopia.
The sky is falling down.
Is this the kind of situation in which that expression is used?
Siwoo really felt like the sky was falling down.
“That, just….”
My mouth just wouldn’t open.
But what can we do?
Siwoo said, squeezing his eyes shut.
“Like last time… Gu, can’t you receive it as a subscription?”
I really couldn’t help it.
What do you do when you copy money?
But I can’t actually use it.
A thousand nyang of someone else’s money is not worth a penny in my hand.
It would have been better to have a subscription that could be used.
Of course, it wasn’t someone else’s thousand nyang of money.
Originally it was Siwoo’s Cornucopia.
Seriously… I felt like my heart was being torn to pieces.
But there really was nothing I could do.
I can’t help but think of it as just sour grapes.
[That’s… Actually, I was going to do that too.]
[Hades does not operate a GodTube channel, so we were unable to accept subscriptions.]
“……?”
This time I wondered what it was.
Hades doesn’t run a Godtube channel?
But when I think about it carefully… .
‘I don’t think I’ve seen the Hades Channel.’
There was no Hades channel in my memory.
It’s something worth looking into once in a while.
I don’t remember seeing any videos on the Hades channel.
No, but wait a minute.
“Hades commented on this video?”
[You can use GotTube even if you don’t run a channel.]
Siwoo nodded quickly.
It was the same with YouTube.
Even if you don’t run a channel, you can still watch YouTube videos.
It seems like the same goes for GodTube.
First of all, last time, Cleopatra said.
He said that not all gods run GodTube channels.
It seemed as though Hades was one of those gods.
‘That’s unexpected.’
anyway.
That wasn’t what mattered now.
What’s important is beyond that screen.
He was a Hercules who ate protein.
I was in a situation where I could only look at Hercules.
That must be a new protein!
All I had to do was look at it and think about it.
Seriously, there has never been any bad news like this.
It was just fucking news.
“So the good news… what is it?”
Siwoo asked with a sense of despair.
There was no strength in his voice.
Even if you say it’s good news, it doesn’t really mean anything.
Because it was obvious I wouldn’t be able to get over that damn news.
Siwoo looked at Hercules, who was eating the new protein, with a blank mind.
Hercules liked the new thing so much that he ate the protein bar without leaving a trace.
Omnyumnyum.
A strange sound came from Hercules’ jaw muscles.
Why does that look so annoying?
Finally, gulp.
Hercules swallowed the contents of his mouth and said:
[Hephaestus will tell you the secret of making this Cornucopia.]
“……yes?”
Siwoo’s mind, which had been in a daze, suddenly opened up.
