C429
Everyone had left the eting room and disappeared. Only one person sat in a chair, fists clenched, waiting for soone.
The door swung open, and soone entered.
With closed eyes, Shiva, who was sitting and waiting, raised his head to greet Brahma.
"You've co?"
"Don't you see?"
"You arrived a little late. No, you arrived very late."
Originally, according to the agreent, they should have beco one again at this mont. But it didn't happen that way.
'Vishnu...'
Shiva looked behind Brahma.
Originally, they should have co together as well. But that plan had gone astray.
Brahma was alone.
"Sothing must have happened."
"What happened?"
Brahma responded vaguely as he sat down in front of Shiva.
A small child crossed his legs while sitting. Naturally, Shiva's gaze lowered.
Now, out of the two, only one more had to co.
And that other one, Vishnu...
"He's close."
They weren't completely separated.
He was observing them from a nearby place. Probably, through the threads connected to his fingers, seeing the invisible to the eye was not a problem for soone like him.
Again...
'Things are a bit off.'
There was no need to panic.
From the start, if they had never intended to beco one again, neither Brahma nor Vishnu would have co this far.
Their decision had not changed yet.
"Why are you on guard?"
"Huh? Why?"
"You can't act, Brahma."
Shiva burst into laughter.
"Trust . I don't know what you're watching or worrying about, but from the beginning, we've always been one."
"I don't doubt that. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"There's an urgent matter."
"Urgent?"
"Well, it's..."
"That?"
Shiva's expression, which had seed like he was joking before, twisted slightly as if he was asking if this was a joke.
An unusual breeze flowed. Cracks appeared on the wall, as if representing Shiva's mood.
But Brahma, without hesitation, pulled out a piece of candy he had stored in his inventory.
"It's just sothing I have to do. You've waited ten thousand years; can't you wait a few more hours?"
"It's not as we agreed."
"Don't worry. In the end, we'll beco one."
"..."
Shiva stared at Brahma intently. He probably wasn't speaking in vain. You could feel that his words were sincere.
But still, it felt uncomfortable.
'Why the hell do I feel this way...?'
At that mont, soone else entered the eting room.
And in the mont he saw...
"There was one more."
Shiva could understand why the original plan had gone awry.
"That's right; you were here."
Sitting on the stone that had originally belonged to Odin, he raised both legs onto the round table.
YuWon waved his hand while looking at Shiva's red eyes without avoiding them.
"Pleased to et you."
"Why greet so awkwardly?"
"Insincere greetings are always awkward."
"You've ssed everything up."
"Don't speak so bitterly."
As if he knew it would be like this, YuWon glanced at Brahma, who was stubbornly avoiding his eyes.
"It hasn't even started yet."
--------------------
Slash-.
Kusanagi drew a red line and cut through the body of a goat.
The goat tore apart like a block of tofu. In the short period, he didn't know how many tis he had swung the sword, but the goat split into thousands and tens of thousands of pieces.
But...
"Beeh-."
Even in the midst of such tearing, the goat's pupil remained intact, looking greedily at Susanoo.
"Isn't this enough?"
He clicked his tongue. Susanoo's hand holding Kusanagi tightened.
Woosh-.
The power of the Magatama Jewel emanated from Susanoo's hand holding Kusanagi. The Arcane Power surrounding Susanoo began to tremble unusually.
If it didn't die even after being cut into thousands of pieces...
"Then, I'll turn you into dust."
SLAAAASH-.
The sound of the wind blowing and the sound of the sword moving blended together.
Susanoo lifted Kusanagi high with one hand.
He whispered lowly so only Brunhilde, who was fighting around him, could hear.
"If possible, get as far away as you can."
Whoooosh-.
The wind gathered at a point.
Before the words could continue, Brunhilde shouted to the other Valkyries.
"Everyone, get away from here!"
And, as expected.
"I don't want you to be swept away by the storm and die for nothing."
Whoosh-!
[Storm Cut]
The wind gathered at the tip of Susanoo's sword split into hundreds of thousands of blades, cutting everything around.
Kwaaaah-!
The goat's body literally crumbled into dust. Even when cut into such small pieces that it couldn't be seen, the goat couldn't survive.
After cutting another goat like that, Susanoo was profusely sweating.
"Is this enough for five?"
Killing them one by one was quite challenging. If it was just about endurance, they could be defeated slowly, but the teeth of these creatures were strong and threatening enough to make the Yata Mirror crack.
Beeeeeh-.
Beeeh-.
There were still many goats left.
Nurical disadvantage. Among the Rankers currently in the area, Brunhilde was the only one with the ability to directly assist Susanoo.
"Was this what he was paying close attention to?"
Susanoo had been acting alongside YuWon for a long ti.
During that ti, YuWon seed to be constantly preparing for sothing, and Susanoo considered it excessive.
If he continued like this, it seed that YuWon would beco one of the Tower's top Rankers in a hundred years, and YuWon had been moving to attract several Great Guilds, including Olympus and Asgard, to join his side.
Plus, counting the Bull Demon King, Son OhGong, Asura, and other High-Rankers.
'I just thought it was excessive perfectionism...'
But after directly fighting against these guys, he understood why YuWon acted that way.
If he had to fight against enemies like these, even if he beca stronger, he would feel inadequate.
"Susanoo!"
Brunhilde's shout.
Susanoo, who was montarily lost in different thoughts, snapped back to attention.
But on the battlefield, even a brief mont of distraction could cost you your life.
Zwack-.
Susanoo realized he had already entered the gigantic mouth.
"Cursed..."
Oong-.
The Yata Mirror emitted light. It was already too late to jump and dodge with his own legs.
At this mont, he could only rely on the power of the item.
Just as the Yata Mirror was about to emit light...
Thud, thud-.
Two hands and two feet blocked the goat's mouth from closing.
Before he could even think "Who is it?" the goat was thrown backward. The sound of the goats' bleating intensified with the appearance of a new enemy.
Diablo, shaking the hand he used to push the goat, looked at Susanoo.
"What's this? This kid?"
This kid...
That's what he said to Susanoo, the great Susanoo.
Normally, if it were the usual Susanoo, he would have drawn his sword imdiately.
But it wasn't the ti to argue about those things.
"He hasn't died yet."
"What?"
Zwack-.
Diablo turned.
A punch extended reflexively. And at the sa ti, the goat's teeth bit into Diablo's arm.
Kwaduck-!
Phwoosh-.
The goat's teeth pierced Diablo's shoulder. It wasn't a deep wound, but Diablo's furrowed brows showed he was in pain.
"What are these things?"
"I told you, right? He hadn't died."
Szzz-.
The goat's head was torn off.
Diablo quickly kicked the goat and stepped away. Susanoo looked at Diablo and asked.
"So, who is this kid?"
"...They don't seem to be easy enemies."
Diablo.
As soon as he heard the news at the eting, he was the first to run.
When it cos to a fight, he loves it more than anyone else, which is natural.
And for soone like him, the presence of the goats in front of him...
He hissed.
"This is going to be incredible."
He approached with indescribable pleasure.
Boom!
Diablo pushed forward and flew. While watching Diablo, who began swinging his fists as he flew towards the goats, Susanoo chuckled and stuck out his tongue with an empty laugh.
"I've never seen anyone crazier than in a fight."
He also lived for blood, battle, and the sword.
But this guy in front of him, as passionate about fighting as he himself was, was sothing he had never seen before.
"Is that how others see ?"
Then, a giant shadow covered Susanoo's body. It was shortly after Diablo arrived.
Goooooo...
He raised his head and looked up.
Countless ships soared in the sky.
"Are they the Devas and Asgard?"
The ships of the Devas and Asgard arrived on the battlefield.
The Guilds representing this Tower.
And in addition, on the ground, Demons and Angels also gathered.
An army that appeared in the blink of an eye.
The Valkyries pushing the goats suddenly stopped. Brunhilde, who was panting, also took a mont to catch her breath.
"They've finally arrived."
The tension that had been present until a mont ago lted away as if it were dissolving.
After living for so long, she had never imagined that she would see sothing like this with her own eyes.
The re sight made her heart beat forcefully. No matter how magnificent an entity might be, it was aningless if they couldn't stop this.
"Is this it?"
But she forgot sothing important.
That the first bleat she heard wasn't the sa as the bleats of the goats around her.
-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH-.
The bleats spread under the purple sky.
A chill ran down her spine.
The tension that had disappeared for a mont increased again. No, it wasn't just tension that could describe it.
It was terror, despair, and discouragent.
"What the hell...?"
Even with all these Guilds and Rankers as allies, it was an overwhelming fear.
Brunhilde searched for the origin of the bleat as stillness spread across the battlefield.
And then...
Beeeeh...
A goat turned its head while letting out a bleat.
Beeeeh...
Beeeeh...
Beeeeeeh...
The goats began bleating towards a particular place. Watching the goats move slowly, the armies of Asgard and the Devas, as well as Diablo, who was wreaking havoc, ca to a stop.
Gulp...
Not even Diablo realized what was happening.
That he was feeling fear and trying to swallow his own saliva with effort.
Jiiiiik...
A goat's belly opened.
It was the largest goat among the crowd, and it seed that the lamb in its belly was freeing itself, killing its mother in the process.
And so, by opening the goat's belly, a human with two horns slowly erged into the world.
"Has... this been here from before?"
When Diablo asked the question, Susanoo shook his head.
"No, there's no way."
Beeeeeeh...
A body over two ters long, with skin so pale it was almost white, and dark purple eyes without sclera.
She was a beautiful woman.
The goats followed her as if she were their mother while bleating.
And upon seeing her...
"...If it had been like that, we would all already be completely annihilated."
Because he had just realized that the owner of the bleats he had heard monts ago was her.
For the first ti in his life, Susanoo felt what desperation was.
