Episode 241
241. Goddess of revenge
The being who appeared was Nemesis, the goddess of revenge.
Michael and other archangels politely bowed.
[Meet Nemesis, the goddess of Rhamnus.]
Since it was the appearance of a god, it was an example that had to be taken of course.
However, Nemesis’ expression was not so good.
[7 archangels become 3. How can this be because of just one human being? Aren’t you embarrassed by these guys who are the rulers of the sky?]
[And no shame.]
[Myeonmok and Nabal, just raise your head. I’m going to check how thick your face is.]
[…] … .]
The archangels raised their heads, but they couldn’t even make eye contact.
[Tsk, tsk, looking at his expression, he seems to have a conscience at least.]
Nemesis clicked his tongue and turned his gaze to Michael.
[Michael. You came to me to ask me to find the person who had revenge on the person called Black Scythe, right?]
[That’s right.]
[Do you remember what I said back then?]
[of course. He said that since he was using the Demon Archduke’s items, it must be accomplished. Only then will Plunictos be satisfied with the quality of the sacrifice… … .]
[yes. But what happens now?]
[…] … I shamefully failed.]
[Do you know what happened because of that failure?]
Michael, who had been avoiding gaze in a reflective posture until now, made eye contact.
[What happened?]
[Plunictos tells you to bring the black scythe that killed his incarnation.]
[A black scythe?]
[He threatened to prepare for war if he was not brought in before the 18th round.]
[ah… … .]
The archangels opened their mouths as if they had made a promise.
What started out as grabbing the black scythe grew bigger than I could have imagined.
[You are holding us responsible for using the Devil’s Resurrection Book as we please. Of course, this is for external reasons, and in reality, it is an intention to create a cause for war.]
[…] … .]
The archangels remained silent.
In particular, Gabriel had nothing to say even though he had ten mouths.
It seems that his strategy will lead to war.
[This incident may lead to the 7th Heavenly Demon War. Since there was a truce, the war was supposed to happen someday, but that time has been brought forward. Because I gave him his justification.]
Nemesis’s brow furrowed even more.
From the time she appeared until now, the goddess’s eyebrows never seemed to straighten.
[War when there is already a shortage of archangels due to the black scythe… … . If we fight now, the angel’s defeat will be obvious. Plunictos knows this too, so he is trying to seize this opportunity.]
[Uh, is there no way to refuse?]
[If the enemy wants to go to war, how can you refuse?]
[…] … .]
[Well, if you had used the Book of Resurrection to sacrifice Black Scythe’s soul, Plunictos would have been satisfied. But didn’t you fail? As a guy, I gained nothing and only lost Hwashin. So, I guess they are doing this to get something out of me.]
[Well, then if you just hand over the black scythe as you wish, there won’t be a war?]
[I guess so. How could he break his promise when all the gods in the world are watching?]
[…] … I’m glad there’s at least a way to fix it.]
Even though he said that, Michael couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.
I may have to destroy my wish to become a god with my own hands.
[The promised deadline is before the 18th round. Until then, do whatever it takes to subdue the black scythe and throw it to Plunictos. I don’t like the idea of handing over the criminal who killed the archangels, but what can I do? The only way to delay the war is to follow.]
Nemesis, who spoke in a lamentable tone, looked at Gabriel, who was lowering his head like a criminal.
[I heard about it. This is all a plan you came up with, right?]
[…] … yes.]
[How did Gabriel, who led the last war to victory and was favored by the gods, end up like this?]
[sorry… … . It’s all my fault.]
[know. So you are even more responsible. Don’t you know that the gods have high expectations for the next war? So take this opportunity to prove your worth. So that the nickname ‘Revelator of God’ suits him well.]
[We will definitely bring results that meet your expectations.]
[Don’t disappoint twice. If you want to continue receiving my support.]
Nemesis, who said that, made eye contact with Michael and Raphael once, then tore through space and disappeared.
The last words were not only addressed to Gabriel.
It was a warning to all three angels.
‘Whoa…’ … This is a scolding. I never thought Plunictos would try to hasten the war using the Book of Resurrection as an excuse.’
As Nemesis said, if we go to war now, defeat is certain.
‘There is no chance of winning until at least 20 rounds pass. Are we going to go to war right away if we don’t bring him in by the 18th round?’
There is a way to delay war.
Just give away the black scythe.
But isn’t that easier said than done?
Moreover, what are your aspirations?
‘Does the feat of becoming a god have to be postponed until later?’
Unlike Michael, who was sighing inwardly, sparks were flying in Gabriel’s eyes.
Because of the mission to subdue the black scythe at any cost.
[Michael. Please send me to round 15.]
[…] … .]
[I will definitely neutralize the black scythe and bring it to heaven.]
[Gabriel, what would happen if you went alone? I will go too.]
[Raphael. It is not your place to intervene. This is something I can solve alone.]
[It’s not like that. Didn’t you hear what Nemesis said? This is everyone’s business.]
When I said everyone, even Michael couldn’t take a step.
[Well, there is still time until round 18, so there is no need to rush.]
[But Michael.]
[Listen to me this time. I don’t want to mess things up again.]
Gabriel twitched his eyebrows and closed his mouth.
He was no different from a criminal and had no right to speak.
[This must be approached cautiously. Don’t you know what happened to other archangels when they looked down on the black scythe? This time, you too.]
[If all three of us go at once, wouldn’t we be able to definitely suppress it?]
[That’s right. But pride is poison. As a result, haven’t you failed time and time again? I think a different method might work better than the straight attack method.]
[Do you have any ideas in mind?]
[I have to think about it from now on.]
[…] … .]
The archangels were silent.
Not knowing that it was Michael’s shallow ploy to waste time.
* * *
Ryumin, who was resting at home, received a call from John.
To put it in a good way, it was a report, and in a bad way, it was a snitch.
-master. The Church of Despair is preparing to attack the Church of the Four Gods.
“The reason is?”
-The reason is that we need to recruit believers, but the Four Gods Church is in the way. He said he took away his prospective believers… … .
“Well, it’s not wrong. “But what confidence do they have to attack me?”
-This is a plan to kidnap Christine and threaten her. It seems that Christine thinks this is Black Scythe’s weakness.
‘It’s a weakness.’
Christine is the key to round 15.
If you use her wide area heal, you can save many people in round 15.
‘But that doesn’t mean we can’t attack without Christine.’
Instead, if you don’t have it, you have to make a lot of sacrifices.
It was like that in the previous episode as well.
There were over 2,000 challengers, but not even 50 survived.
Because Christine died early.
‘We need to protect Christine in order to take as many people as possible.’
After being lost in thought for a while, John on the phone asks me carefully.
-What should I do? I said I would look into it first… … .
“Keep taking time like that. “Never proceed.”
-All right.
“And since there may be variables, I will go there myself.”
-Are you coming to America?
“okay. “I want to meet Christine too.”
-Ah, I understand. Please contact us by the time you arrive. I will pick you up at the airport.
“There is no need for that. I’m going to meet Christine first. Don’t be suspicious and act like you normally do. “I’ll contact you again if I need any instructions.”
-All right. master.
After hanging up the phone, Ryumin changed his phone.
I’m going to call Christine, not as a black scythe, but as a prophet.
“Oh, Christine? “This is Ryumin.”
– Prophet! long time no see. I was already thinking of contacting you.
“To me?”
-yes. There are many things I have been indebted to during this time. I learned about the strategy for the next round thanks to Black Scythe… … . In that sense, I thought I would go to Korea and say hello.
“There is no need for that. “I will go there.”
-yes? Are you coming to Dallas?
“I have something to tell you when we meet. “The prophecy is about 15 rounds. Can you give me some time?”
-Sure. I have a lot of time.
“Then I’ll see you in two days. “I’ll get back to you.”
-yes. If you come, let’s have a meal. I will live.
“Haha, sure.”
Ryu Min finished the call with a smile and tapped his phone to reserve a ticket.
After booking the earliest flight, I went out to the living room.
‘I guess I should tell Won too.’
My younger brother was leisurely watching TV in the living room.
News about the black scythe was appearing on the screen.
“Brother, isn’t the black scythe really amazing?”
“What is it?”
“You took out the bad guys and saved countless people by yourself. I heard there was a lot of praise for preventing casualties by killing the last boss in one hit in this 14th round? “Did you really do that?”
“How did you know that?”
“I got some information from FlagGall. “Right now, both ordinary people and players are in an uproar because of the black scythe.”
“okay?”
It was said to be an uproar, but Ryumin didn’t really feel it.
Not only did I not use the Internet often, but no one recognized me like a celebrity.
‘It’s only natural that he hid his identity.’
While he was laughing, his younger brother looked at Ryumin and said.
“Bro, anyway, why are you standing like that? “Do you have something to say to me?”
“huh.”
“Are you going to tell me you’re going on a trip?”
“how did you know?”
“These days, going abroad is becoming more common. “Maybe it’s because of my girlfriend who lives in Japan.”
I don’t have a girlfriend or anything, but it would be easier to let my younger brother misunderstand rather than making excuses.
“Anyway, I’m going to stay out for a while again. “I’ll be back in a week.”
“okay. Come back. Don’t worry about me. “The world is now a better place thanks to the Black Scythe.”
Does he know?
The fact that there is a black scythe in front of me that speaks so loudly.
“okay. I will leave with peace of mind. “Don’t just order Jjajangmyeon because it’s annoying. Instead, try making various things at home.”
“Hey, am I a kid? “I’m also a high school student now.”
“What can you do when you can’t even go to school?”
“ah! “I want to go to school after a long time!”
Ryumin left behind his younger brother who was saying things he didn’t mean to.
‘In my eyes, you’re still a kid.’
With a slight smile on his lips.
