20

* * *

Three hours ago.

After grasping the situation, I hurriedly kicked into the air and landed on the shore faster than Poseidon's waves.

"Hoo...? You want to try it? "But even though he's a man, he still has a lot of courage."

As if he didn't know that I would shake off his divine power and come down in front of him, Poseidon rolled his eyes and began to unclasp his hands.

-Wood!

I just lightly open my fist, but what kind of sound does it make like a rock breaking?

I opened the conversation in haste, wondering if we could first resolve the issue verbally.

"Hey, my God..."

[Shut your mouth!!!]

However, as if the energetic God of the Sea had no intention of listening, he enveloped his entire body with enormous energy and began to approach step by step.

[Dare! This is Poseidon's wife, Amphitrite's sister, and the youngest daughter of the ocean god Oceanus.

Receiving so much love from such a precious and precious treasure of the sea that even if you sacrifice all the treasures of the sea, you might not be allowed to even glance at its face. How dare she turn a blind eye and let tears flow from those pretty eyes!?]

"...Yes?!"

One eye? Me?

Is this by any chance a story about Atalanta?

No, I bowed my head to them and apologized again and again, so Neri and Atalanta accepted and moved on, right?

[Huh... Is this guy really going to see the end? How dare you pretend not to know!!

Just yesterday, in the early morning waves, my youngest sister-in-law came to Amphitrite's palace, not to Tetus's mother's palace, crying!]

"Yes, Neri... Cried?"

[When Amphitrite heard about you from Galatea and went on a rampage to kill the youngest scoundrel, I looked after you and stopped you! How dare you repay a favor like this!? You will die today by my hands!]

The sight of a 2.5 meter long muscular body, much taller than Hercules, approaching with its wave-like beard and flowing hair was truly terrifying.

Nevertheless, the reason I couldn't avoid it was because of that one word, that Neri cried.

'Her...'

It was truly unexpected.

I never thought it would break my heart so much to hear that a small little girl who was no taller than my waist was crying.

They say that water creeps in wherever there is a gap, and the white girl who ran next to me in Passos and the Forest of Heroes became a bigger presence to me than I thought.

"Last night... Did you cry a lot?"

[You don't deserve to hear that child's story from me.]

What naturally came to mind when I heard the word "Last night" was the fun adult time I spent with Artemis under the new moon.

Come to think of it, I fell asleep in the bathtub after fixing my transformation yesterday and having a chat with Artemis right after the fight with Hercules.

"Huh..."

It felt like the puzzle was finally coming together.

Because of the nymph's unique inspiration and strangely sensitive senses, whenever I met Neri, I washed myself clean and changed my clothes.

What if I was so tired yesterday that I fell asleep while I was washing up, and in the meantime, Neri came to see me and noticed something about my body?

It was a misunderstanding, not a misunderstanding, but it was enough for Neri to run crying into the sea.

"...Do you have anything to say?"

"..."

Before I knew it, Poseidon had come within a stone's throw and raised his mace-sized fist high and asked softly.

The fleshy muscles exposed beyond the lightly worn toga-like clothes and the obvious scars on them showed what kind of years he had spent.

-Gulp.

It was on a completely different level from the immature and foolish crescent moon that had been fooling around last night.

A direct descendant of the most powerful Titan god, Poseidon, the god who rules the Greek seas.

Just like when I first met Hera, I had to swallow dry saliva at her overwhelming presence and immeasurable divine power.

To express it, it is the sea.

A feeling of intimidation as if you were in the middle of a violent storm with rippling waves and raging tsunamis, as if you were faced with overwhelming nature.

An incarnation of nature that sometimes left me purely overwhelmed and amazed even after reaching a level far beyond my previous life.

I wondered if this was truly God.

"Haha..."

But even more than that, it chills my stomach.

The eyes of the overwhelming embodiment of nature, the ruler of the sea, are burning with pure anger.

That's ... Yeah, it was the eyes of a father who saw a precious youngest daughter and saw a little boy, or a lot of older brothers.

If this was America and not Greece, he would have been holding a shotgun in his hand instead of a trident.

'...Honestly, this was my mistake.'

Even if it takes the shape of three heads and six feet, turns over mountains and dries up rivers with a single wave of its hand.

As long as I was not an asshole or an asshole, but rather an intelligent person with humanity or divinity, in this situation, I was definitely an asshole.

A father who has a daughter or a brother who has a younger sister is upset about his daughter?

What if the daughter was my lover, and she came to my house crying and upset because of me?

Honestly, even if I'm a father or my brother, I want to find my daughter and get rid of her head.

Or, you may ask why you are begging your father-in-law, who is no different from a stranger, because you are following the magic path of the Heavenly Demon Church that is faithful to your own desires, but you are greedy for women.

In fact, the logic is that the lechers who have come out of the church take the blood of all kinds of women and claim that this is the true witchcraft.

Speaking about this as the high priest of the Heavenly Demon Church and the incarnation of Asura.

There was this saying in the Sura Sutra, one of the three major scriptures of the doctrine.

He who takes a woman as his wife or concubine or pretends to be a woman, do not let tears form in his eyes.

If you have a daughter as your child, whether you marry her off or send her off as a companion, do not watch the tears form in her eyes.

Asura, the owner of Surado, also gave his daughter, Princess Saji (Four Wisdom), to Je Seok-cheon in marriage, but before Je Seok-cheon could hold the ceremony, he took her daughter and tears formed in her eyes.

Even though he breathed in the blood and fire of an entire city, his heart was torn into a thousand pieces and all that he swallowed came out.

In short.

Whether you are a demon or not, if you put a human seal on your back and are a seeker who explores the demonic path, you should know that if tears form in the eyes of someone else's precious daughter, tears of blood will form in your own eyes.

The main deity whom you serve shed tears of blood because of the tragedy of your daughter, so I am saying that you, Naburaeng, a mere mortal, should also live by caring for someone else's precious daughter, knowing that she is also precious.

Maybe that's why the married life of the members of the magic clan, not the simpleton demons, was actually more gentle than that of the hypocrites.

Rather, due to the nature of magic that allows men and women to enter magic without discrimination, he would have survived if he had been captured by his wife, who was her expert rather than himself.

'And that goes for me too.'

The white sea spirit that filled a corner of me more than I expected was the mere fact that she cried, and that it was because of my carelessness, that made the demon, who was in the ranks of gods, so angry.

"I know there is nothing left to say then..."

-Cow!

As my huge, scar-covered fist slowly gained strength, and the sea behind me was tempestuous as if in response to his anger, I made the decision of a lifetime.

A very big, possibly life-threatening decision.

As a woman, as a man, couldn't she take responsibility for the sin of making someone else's precious daughter, and at the same time a pretty and precious young lover, cry with her tongue?

With a huge fist blazing right in front of me that summoned a tidal wave and a storm, I quietly closed my eyes and lowered my arm.

"Huh... Okay, you're not really a mean guy."

Poseidon seemed to be slightly impressed by the sight and snorted his laughter, and then his spirit seemed to weaken a little.

By any chance, should I just skip it...?

I was just about to slightly open my eyes, just in case.

"I won't kill you. "My youngest sister-in-law will be sad."

"...Yes?"

Before I could think about what to do, a crushing blow hit me in the stomach.

-Quaang!

"100 million?"

It was Quang.

Not a peuok or a pung, but a kwaang.

A huge binge that hits your head directly, not through your ears, but through the bones and muscles of your body.

Ah, what did this feel like?

Oh, right, that's right, it's the Imperial Army's cannonball that the Zhuge Emperor's psycho bastard used to tease him with his tongue again.

It was a blow that reminded me of the child-headed cannonball that hit my stomach directly in the dizzying melee.

There was no serious damage at that time, but it hit my stomach directly and exploded, causing me to struggle in pain for the first time in a long time.

However, although the feeling was similar, its power was nothing compared to a cannon ball.

"Ba... Balgyeong?"

A tremendous amount of power that fits right into my stomach without a single bit of wasted power.

The overwhelming force that refused to let go of the shock as I flew or to spread the shock to the ground would have exploded all my organs and muscles and shattered my muscles if I hadn't gone into extreme trouble yesterday.

"Hmph... Your body is strong."

"Keuuuuu..."

It felt like the power of the tsunami that engulfed the huge ship and the earthquake that turned the earth upside down in an instant were all condensed and hit my ship directly.

As I was sinking with the sound of a boiling kettle, the deep blue sea god's eyes were still glaring at me with anger, but it had calmed down considerably.

"Unlike other Greek bastards, he knows how to take responsibility."

Poseidon snorted while saying that, squatted down in front of me who was whimpering, made eye contact, and said this.

"However, the sin that made the treasure of the sea cry is deep. "It would be a mistake to think that this much can be separated."

If earlier his anger had been a tsunami, now it was a quiet and frightening voice, like a beach with rapidly ebb tide, hinting at a tsunami.

And then the Marine Corps cheers followed.

If I were to recover with my spiritual power or magical energy, I couldn't even cry because of the trident that was hanging down like a ghost, so I rolled down the beach in a fresh body for the first time in a long time.

I must have been in a trance like that for about three hours.

"Weather."

"Weather!"

The sea god's voice, which had calmed down a bit, quietly declared wake-up.

Ah, even if I was reincarnated three times, the vivid days of the parade are still etched in my soul.

I stood up in front of the giant sea god, gritting my teeth and enduring the sweat that soaked my entire body and the pain in my stomach that was still throbbing.

"Do you understand that your sin is very deep and great?"

"Yep!"

"However, taking into account the admirable fact that you have revered God from a young age and have offered your faith to the God holding the trident through skillful spearmanship.

I'll give you exactly 30 seconds from now on. "If you don't convince me within 30 seconds..."

-Whoa...

Poseidon, who was fiddling with his trident and catching his breath as if he was getting angry again, looked straight at me as if he had made up his mind.

"I swear on the River Styx that no matter how much your youngest sister-in-law cries and fusses later, you will never see Nesneria's face in your lifetime."

Then let's begin.

At the same time as I said those words, I confessed directly to God with the most desperate and sincere heart in my three lives.

◈ Chapter 114 - The Other Side of the Myth.

When I'm talking to someone, the flow turns to a topic that's embarrassing or unfavorable to me.

Because of that, the flow of criticism starts towards me?

In that case, there was a very effective solution.

"I had a fight with the goddess Artemis."

It's about covering up the topic with even more unconventional stories.

And I was the center of a topic that was more shocking and shocking than any other rumor in Greece.

"...What?"

Did you hear correctly just now?

Poseidon's wide eyes seemed to say that.

Well, even if it were me, I would react the same way if I heard that he was hanging out with his nephew.

"Well, is that really true?"

"It is true that Hermes, Ares, and Hera know that I am with the goddess Artemis.

I guess I clicked the first button wrong. "To get revenge, you came to me while I was meditating in the forest last night."

The important thing here is not to tell the whole story in detail.

To be honest, conquering the Goddess of Purity was a feat that I was very proud of as her man.

Artemis was not yet completely in her hands, and she swore an oath to the River Styx to keep the events of that day secret.

For now, it would be wiser to just gloss over it and move on.

"So, what happened?"

"How dare I mention something that has tarnished the reputation of the goddess who has risen to the top of Olympus?

For his honor, we have decided to bury the events of last night in the River Styx, so please consider it."

"Hoo... You're alive with Zeus's daughter...? Haha."

Poseidon's eyes changed from his father's eyes to those of interest when he saw the human horse who had cheated on his daughter.

'Good.'

Seeing this, I smiled triumphantly.

In Moorim and here in Greece, honor is sometimes more important than life.

Even in Greece, it is the supreme god Zeus who governs honor, oaths, and customs.

However, he mentioned the honor of Zeus's blood family and even brought up the River Styx, but asking more questions would be tantamount to challenging Zeus.

I didn't just say anything, but I blurted out my words enough for him to infer what the situation was, so Poseidon nodded his head appropriately and moved on.

"Still, Zeus, I heard that that handsome bastard gave Artemis the right to operate in the sanctuary. Hehe, I didn't know you would do that to catch my son-in-law."

Poseidon, who had been flashing his eyes earlier, seemed to instantly lose his anger at my words.

"Looking at it, it appears to be a martial arts faction. Is that correct?"

"You saw it correctly. Because of that, I had a hard time dealing with the goddess who was running through the forest while shooting an arrow."

"Hmm..."

To be honest, Neri's misunderstanding wasn't really a misunderstanding.

To be honest, Artemis was an object of lust and conquest for me, not an object of affection or a haven to embrace and love like Neri.

First of all, it is important to somehow coax the sea god in front of us to go see Neri.

I pretended to be a believer with great faith and reverence as much as possible, and bowed politely before the sea god.

"Greetings, even if it's belated. "I see Poseidon, Lord of the Seas, Bringer of the White Waves."

"Hmm... Yes, I too am glad to see the old Night Mother's newly born son."

"Yes?"

Wait, what?

I was startled by a story I had never imagined, and when I looked up, I saw the grim face of Poseidon smiling at me.

"Why, did you think I didn't even know the identity of my son-in-law, or sister-in-law?"

"No, how do you do that..."

Only Hera, Hermes, and my sisters Nemesis and Eris knew about my lineage, that is, the being who created this body in which I was reincarnated, was the old goddess of night.

I suspected that the story might have been leaked through Hermes, but I heard that the goddess Hera silenced her.

A god I had never seen before could see through my lineage at first glance.

The sea god said, stroking his beard in amusement as he looked at me, who was visibly embarrassed.

"First of all, I think we have a lot to talk about... I know my throat will be sore, so shall we have a drink and talk?"

And then, before he knew it, he held out a huge cask that could easily fit his large hand, and the strange meeting with Poseidon, or rather, his father-in-law, began.

* * *

Now, let's think about it.

Someone falls into the world of Greek mythology and is treated like a god, almost like a god.

What if I were to create a masterpiece by meeting from the perspective of my father-in-law, who was hot to the core, and his precious daughter, the son-in-law, who was crying?

What do you think it will be like?

The correct answer is.

It's surprisingly enjoyable.

"Wow, I really thought I was going to die at that time! Because my father-in-law hit my head while lifting a deep-sea volcano. The war with the damn old men had just ended, and my neck, which had been half-blown off, had barely been put together. "Cluck."

Hehe... Honestly, you thought you did something that deserved a beating, right? But deep-sea volcanoes?"

"What a horse! But honestly, Amphitrite was very pretty. "What can I do?"

"He beat up a woman on the spot just because she was pretty, so honestly, I have to take into account that she got beaten up by her father. Honestly, I'm not that organized. "But it's a volcano?"

"Oh, you crazy guy. I don't know what Bossam is, but I do know that it dared to insult God. "Aren't you afraid of this Triaina?"

"If you're a god or a human being and you can't say anything, why live in fear? Bite your tongue and die.

But did you really get hit by a volcano?"

Luxuriously, God brought alcohol, so it was naturally my responsibility to prepare the snacks.

Fortunately, in Messenia, where everything from the sea to the land is abundant, if you work hard enough, you can buy enough food even on bare land.

In addition, since I am also a god who handles divine power, I can create something from nothing to a certain extent, so in an instant, Poseidon and I were drinking with a pretty decent table in front of us.

"I hate to see that damn volcano, but Amphitrite took it and decorated it in the back of her palace as a souvenir of scolding her hated husband."

"Khahahaha! Ah, then, for the sake of the deep-sea volcano that will strike the noble Poseidon's head..."

""Cheers!""

Wow! The huge jar lightly hit with a dull sound.

Pure white bubbles exploding like a volcano from that swaying liquor jar.

The raw fish spread out below and the spicy spicy stew bismuri that I was slowly savoring.

It was a drinking place for anglers.

For reference, I heard that there are a lot of trade ships traveling here and there through the Mediterranean Sea with the support of Poseidon for things like spices, so I took a look and found out that they were selling all kinds of spices.

I received everything as a tribute, but now that I can finally use it, my favorite sea god is a bonus.

"Wow... Wine is good, of course, but when men drink, this meth is the best. "There's nothing like it to feel cool and refreshing."

Hehe, this is my first time drinking beer in this neighborhood, and I missed the taste."

What?

It certainly seemed like I had done all kinds of crazy things before, but how did I end up working on a big project with my father-in-law and an adult?

Since when has he been talking to the Lord of the Sea, one of the three great gods of Greece?

No, honestly, Neri's older sister is Amphitrite and her husband is Poseidon, so it would be better to be an older brother than a father-in-law...

"Hey, kid. "Isn't that stew already cooked?"

"What if it's not cooked all the way through? "Neither you nor I are in shape to eat and drink, are we?"

Hey, I don't know.

As long as it's fun, that's fine.

At first, I felt a bit awkward, and since I had committed a crime related to Neri, I had no choice but to bang my head.

"...So, when the emperor stopped the princess from having a secret affair with her teacher, Jiang Chen ran to the imperial palace alone holding a spear. "It is said that a huge door, much larger than the Great Temple of Athena, opened, and 10,000 armies marched towards him inside."

"Oh... I swear to Styx, was it really all that bad? "How can there be so many soldiers?"

"The population here is very different. It's not a place like Greece where all kinds of kingdoms are scattered, so why call it an empire for no reason? Anyway, in that stormy window, the soldiers are flying like fallen leaves in the wind..."

The twelve demons that I 100% memorize... No, the twelve demons or the martial arts stories I've experienced.

"Do you know that it is Antaeus? He is my proud son.

He established an independent kingdom and held monthly wrestling competitions with a golden skull on the line.

If you beat him, he will give you the golden skull as a prize. If you lose, he will offer the golden skull to Gaia's temple and recruit the loser to his army.

But until now, that golden skull has never left the child's territory."

"Huh, that wasn't a real human skull, it was a golden skull shaped..."

"Hey, dude! These days, if you cut off a person's head and offer it as an offering, Zeus will wait and see. Anyway, please come visit me later. "You seem like a person with a few punches, so I'm sure you'll welcome me with open hands."

"Ah, I heard it in the forest too. That's because I don't go outside the country as the chief priest of Gaia and Poseidon.

If it comes out into the world, the whole of Greece will be turned upside down. "There are several people I will visit later when I leave the forest."

Haha! I guess it's because they are the sprouts of heroes. You have great insight. By the way, do you know what the name of the army he is running is?"

"What is it? "I think I know roughly..."

"The name of the defense force is Gaia's Shield, and the name of the attack force is the Spear of Poseidon!Haha! Isn't it truly wonderful? "There is no such filial son in the world!"

The truth about the myth that I originally knew, the story behind the exciting myth that Poseidon unravels, etc.

As the alcohol continued, the conversation between me and Poseidon became completely disarming.

As they drank the surprisingly strong and surprisingly cool ancient beer while both their internal and mental powers were dormant, they both became drunk in an instant.

"Wow... This tastes good? "It's spicy, so it would be nice to boil it and eat it while fishing."

"Because the ingredients were good. "Especially because the fish was fresh."

That's why it's time to take a break from the endless drinking and talking.

I stopped talking so much that my chin was numb and my throat was sore from drinking beer non-stop.

Poseidon and I slowly ate our snacks.

"Ugh... Brother."

"Why is it wrong? "Well, if you look at my face, I'll know even if you don't say anything."

Poseidon snorted as he munched on the unidentified raw fish that had been cut into bite-size pieces.

"Ugh... I mean Neri. "Did you cry a lot?"

"Wow, I thought Neri would have a hard time like Amphi because he already touched a goddess and even had a human woman as his lover. "He's surprisingly wholesome."

"No, Artemis, that light year..."

I was really pricked inside, but I couldn't say I was having fun with the goddess of chastity, so I tried to explain it away, but the bottle that Poseidon was holding was empty! And fell to the floor.

"Hehe, where are you stealing a cow and giving away a pig's hooves?"

Poseidon, who took another shot of beer while cackling his neck the size of a baby's fist, glared at me as if I was dumbfounded and said,

"Young demigod, son of Nyx. Does this god who has lived since the age of the Titans look funny?

"That Zeus' unbridled colt lost in a fight with you and just retreated?"

Under! Wouldn't it be better to say that Cerberus was held by a person and went for a walk on the ground?

Poseidon shook his head to stop saying nonsense.

"I swear by the River Styx that I can't say anything. Artemis, if that crazy thing was defeated in a fight and no sunlight or lightning fell on your head, it must have done something to force you to keep quiet.

Of course, there was a guy involved, and if he was going to keep his mouth shut, it would most likely have been a harsh act."

Right?

I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut as Poseidon glanced over the glass he had raised again.

It was indeed an insight worthy of one of the highest gods.

Or it's an experience story from someone who has been involved in numerous scandals.

"Huh, well, that's it..."

"Huh? You're not trying to scold me, are you? "I'd rather praise you, don't you?"

"Yes?"

What does this mean?

"Is it unexpected? "I am protecting you, not Artemis."

"Yeah, right?"

Isn't Artemis that niece? He left Neri there and touched another woman, and I thought she might not get over it.

Instead, Poseidon just smiled softly and picked up his snack to eat.

Hehe. Let me honestly tell you how I feel. Rather, I would like to give you a reward."

-Wood!

Those Mediterranean blue eyes were sparkling with passion, and the liquor bottle in his hand, which was slowly cracking, represented his anger.

However, the difference from before was that the anger was not directed at me, but at someone else.

"Artemis, Apollo. "The space occupied by those idiots was not originally theirs."

"Yes?"

What does this mean again?

As Poseidon's atmosphere suddenly changed and the completely unexpected flow of the story unfolded, I quietly put down my bottle and listened.

"Shining Olympus, dazzling Olympus. Twelve thrones located in the center. "The people who should have occupied two of those positions were not just twin bastards who gained status through their father's footsteps!!"

Perhaps in response to his anger, the sea, which had been constantly lapping, calmed down, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the bright sky, and strong rain and wind began to gather.

-Ssssshhhhh..!

"Charybdis, my beautiful daughter. Antaeus, my proud son.

"As the goddess of fierce storms and representatives of violent earthquakes, they were the children who should have ascended to the level of the gods of Olympus!"

"Oh..."

The other side of the myth that I had no idea about.

It was the moment when the anecdotes of the gods that the gods talked about were revealed.

◈ Chapter 115 - To the Sea!

Poseidon seemed to get angry just thinking about it, gulped down his beer, almost threw the bottle down, and complained to me.

"Think about it. Who originally led the chariot of the sun? "Who is it that still controls the sun instead of Apollo?"

Ah, this is what I learned at the Temple of Passos.

Therefore...

"Uh... Helios?"

"Yes! Then don't ask again. Who originally drove the chariot of the waxing and waning moon?"

I roughly knew about the sun, but the moon originally had many owners, but who was it?

"Uh, ah! "Selene?"

"Yes, Selene, the incarnation of the full moon. Humans may not know it, but the original goddess in charge from the half moon to the last moon is Hecate. "What do you think this is talking about?"

"Are you saying that there was originally no sun and moon in the gods of Apollo and Artemis?"

"That's it! I was able to ascend to Olympus by pushing out those who were originally in the new business purely because of my father's help.

"To the place where my children were brought down and left vacant through ridiculous accusations!!"

Honestly, it's hard to say anything because there's still a lot I don't know about the world of gods.

Certainly, even in modern times, there has been a lot of talk about how the gods Apollo and Artemis became one of the Twelve Gods.

While the others have their own unique characters, the twins, including Athena, have a variety of new careers.

"Surely those two have something new to do, right?"

"Oh?! Oh, do you understand?"

"Honestly, it's a story that divides opinions even in the forest."

Apollo's sons Asclepius and Orpheus also agreed on this.

In addition to being the god of the sun, Apollo was the god of healing, pestilence, music, etc., And Artemis was the goddess of purity, which men hated, and was also the goddess of hunting, the new moon, and a guide to travelers.

"That's it~ Zeus, the goddamn supreme god, gave a huge new job to his illegitimate son of a bitch and added various things to it."

Oh.

This is getting more and more interesting.

Basically, the more information I have about people and organizations I don't know, the better.

Although the truth of what Poseidon said is unclear, it is clear that at least two of the twelve thrones of Olympus, of which more than half of Zeus's blood relatives belonged, were dissatisfied with Zeus about their distribution: Poseidon and Hera.

'Now Zeus says in one of my poems that things are good for now... But I don't know what will happen in the future.'

By nature, no matter how strong or wealthy a person is, their power is threatened.

Starting with the Four Heavenly Kings under my command and ending with the 108 Demon Army, there were scattered demons who gave absolute loyalty, and there was no strong person in the martial arts world who dared to challenge me, so the threat was less.

From Pathos to the Forest of Heroes in Messenia, Zeus, the main character who is always present in theology classes and heroism classes, has assumed that there are quite a few people with old grudges among the twelve gods.

In fact, everyone from his companion, Queen Hera, to the fellow god of the three, Poseidon, burns such a grudge...

'Maybe it could be quite useful information later.'

"Originally, the old gods who run the sun and moon supported Olympus and defeated Titanomachy. My children were also promised the throne of Olympus for their contributions in the war. At best, my daughter ate too much of her food, so she brought down the goddess of the deep sea, whom she loved so much?!"

Then, as if condescendingly, they handed over to Poseidon the divine power of storms, storms, earthquakes, and intelligence, which were originally supposed to be in charge, and Poseidon gritted his teeth, saying that his insides were boiling like Tartarus.

"Ah... I heard you ate a lot of nectar and ambrosia..."

In a theology class, it was said that the goddess Hebe, who presides over the feast of Olympus, was the first to collapse from exhaustion.

It was even more believable because the person who told the story was Chiron.

However, Poseidon snorted at those words as if it were not the same.

"Huh, if a guest comes and eats happily, as the owner, it's his job to use everything he has and everything he doesn't have to treat him as well as he can. "The supreme god who is in the name of hospitality and is the ruler of Xenia, throws lightning at the guests' heads?"

Hmm...

Honestly, this is also true.

When I study theology in ancient Greece, I am sometimes surprised by the fact that what the god Zeus presides over is very cosmic.

Honestly, according to my vague knowledge, Zeus was a strong bastard who would send out a thunderbolt when he was upset and attack him when he was upset.

As Poseidon said, he is the highest god whose divine work extends across very broad and conceptual areas such as discipline, order, law, and justice.

However, when you see that the highest god is referred to as an asshole in most myths, you can see why extreme drama is the norm in Greece...

"Justice and order? Huh, do you think I don't know what's inside me? What is his intention to treat the highest level of Olympus as obedient to his words and rule for eternity?!

You'd rather tell me out loud. I was afraid that my daughter's throne would be taken away for no reason, so I struck down that beautiful child with a lightning bolt!

"I couldn't bear to watch my sister struggle in pain, so I made Antaeus go into hiding, and my son and daughter did something wrong!!"

Poseidon was drunk and screaming at the sky. He looked like a drunken sailor, but the energy he gave off was comparable to that of any of the strongest men I've ever seen.

The rough and rugged spirit, which is the exact opposite of the elegant, noble, and lady-like Hera, reminded me of the pirates of Nampa or the money lenders of the Yangtze River.

Of course, every time I shouted, a storm rumbled in the distance and waves the size of a house rocked, but in any case, it reminded me of pirates, even in their simplicity and in how they cared so much about their family.

'It was quite a pain... They were playing in the water, riding boats, and flying around. 'If he even touched a single member of my family, he would follow me around and raise my blood pressure.'

There were about two piles of documents that came up each time.

Anyway, we know that this drunken sea god is full of resentment towards the Supreme God, but what is important now is not his utter love for his children.

That was Neri's whereabouts.

"Is that why you care so much about Neri?"

"..."

Poseidon seemed to have hit the nail on the head and kept his mouth shut at my words. His blue eyes, which had been burning with passion, instantly calmed down, and the sea that had been turbulent and tempestuous became calm.

"Neri said so. Every time I go to see my eldest sister, my brother-in-law gives me a ride on a big horse. The horse is so pretty and it's so exciting to ride on it. "My eldest sister is always scolded by Amphitrite."

The story about the horse of Poseidon, who was also the god of horses, was famous.

A beautiful divine demon created using the purest water as its blood, the world's first white wave as its body, and the oldest stone obtained from Gaia as its bone.

It is said that the horses, which are so fast and powerful that even Zeus covets them, are cared for so much that Poseidon personally manages everything from fodder to bath rather than leaving them in the hands of anyone else.

But you drive a horse like that by putting it on a horse instead of a carriage?

'Honestly, when I first heard it, I just thought, 'Oh, my eldest sister's husband runs a ranch.'

Later, I was a little shocked to hear that my brother-in-law was the god of the sea.

I vaguely realized that this is a world of myths.

Nesneria, Neri, Treasure of the Sea.

That white wave spirit was the first thing that made me want to learn more about this world.

The two of us were truly unique from the first time we met.

Since then, we have spent time together on that small island, going through countless adventures and bloody chaos. As time went by, I was fascinated by her infinite possibilities and the distant abyss contained in her small body.

Neri also held my hand, showing the bright and pure love typical of a child and the dark emotions typical of a goddess.

A sudden wave that pushed me to move forward while I was spending some time in an orphanage, vaguely thinking that I was just reborn and had to live.

At the same time, a lovely lover full of infinite thrills that even I feel chills under the waves.

So, it was truly devastating that she had tears in her eyes because of my mistake.

"Tsk, Neri, I thought I brought a nice guy because he was quite dependable, but this guy also has a few snakes in his stomach."

And the God of the Sea who suddenly throws a word in front of me must be similar.

"Tsk, I can't believe there's such a black guy sitting next to that innocent child. "I don't like it, but..."

I don't know anything else, but Neri is so innocent?

I don't know this young, young sister-in-law very well.

"I was taking a nap in the palace yard for a while, and that little guy got my hair all twisted up. On my shoulders, where neither Charybdis, nor Antaeus, nor even that boy Triton have ever sat, my hair!"

Just when Poseidon was about to get angry at the fact that he dared touch his head like that.

So said my sweet little lover.

"It all doesn't work! Sit down!"

"...Oh my god. "Are you imitating Neri?"

"That's what the kid said."

As I squeezed my eyes out as I watched this 2.5 meter tall bearded man pretending to be a baby, even the bulging arms of the sea seemed embarrassed and took a sip of alcohol.

"Anyway, after that, I raised that little guy like my own daughter. When Galatea told her that the boy seemed to have had a lover, he said that it would be perfect if he were just an ordinary, honest fisherman..."

"I wanted to live a simple life, using just the right amount of energy, but the people flying above my head wouldn't leave me alone."

To be honest, when I woke up in Pathos, I decided that I wanted to live a truly leisurely retirement life, instead of my past life where I was busy until I died.

When Neri mentioned that I should settle down in Passos and live as a fisherman or hunter, he took the initiative and searched the Passos he had brought me to to find a new home for us.

"But what's going on in the world..."

"You can't do what you want, right? "Cluck, click, click."

After spitting out everything that was inside, I wonder if I felt a little relieved.

Poseidon's eyes seemed to have cleared up considerably as he smiled in a much lighter voice.

"Sigh... Let's go now. "If you drink any more here, Amphi and Neri will nag you..."

Poseidon, perhaps trying to get up, took up Triaina, which was floating next to him, and stood up.

"Are you leaving? Then, please talk to Neri..."

I grumbled to myself that it wasn't worth the effort, but Poseidon looked at me as if I was dumbfounded.

"What do you mean?"

"What?"

Poseidon looked at me as if I was working overtime for no pay, then heaved a sigh and said.

"...Done. "All that needs to be said has already been said."

And then, a huge hand suddenly grabs the back of my neck.

I was about to open my mouth to see something else.

"Be careful not to bite your tongue."

"Yes?"

-Tuung!

As if throwing a discus, Poseidon threw me into the sea with careless caution.

"It'll be faster than trudging along!"

"Yay and..."

-With a plop!

Just as I was about to say something to Poseidon, who was smiling brightly.

In an instant, I was thrown into the sea, caught in the current and submerged deeply.

◈ Chapter 116 - City of Poseidon.

Where all ocean currents begin, where all water gathers, the deepest part of the ocean.

However, it is a place that no one has dared to see with their eyes or touch with their hands.

These meaningful nicknames all refer to the palace of Poseidon, Lord of the Sea.

Zeus's Olympus is where everyone wishes at least once for the goddesses of fate to guide their destiny.

The kingdom of Hades, which everyone fears, but eventually comes to.

And Poseidon's territory, where no god or hero can enter unless Poseidon invites him directly.

A place that was barely mentioned in the myths I had heard, and virtually no myths that were actually revealed.

Fortunately, I was guided by the hand of Poseidon and was able to enjoy the glory of looking down from the highest(?) Place.

How long did it go down to the sea with the current after being thrown into the hands of Poseidon?

I can't believe I'm feeling nervous inside as the surroundings are slowly getting dark without sunlight.

There was a huge light shimmering in the deep sea.

The ocean current carried by Poseidon also seemed to be heading towards that light, so if I strained my eyes and looked at it, I saw that a huge city located deep in the dark sea was slowly getting closer.

"...Atlantis?"

Why, you know that.

An ancient sea city that was rumored to have been discovered all over the place on the day of the mystery show on Sunday morning.

There was no other way to explain it.

Have you ever been to an amusement park or water park?

The place, decorated as if in another world, away from the busy commute, lukewarm bus exhaust, and the forest of buildings overlooking the oppressive gaze, presented a dreamlike escape as if it were a reproduction of human fantasy and imagination.

And mythology can be said to be the starting point of such dreams and imagination.

Comparing the kingdom of Poseidon, the sea god, which was one of the pillars of the myth, to such a human entertainment facility was almost an insult.

"Hiyaaa..!"

In the middle of the vast plain of the deep sea, an outer wall sparkling with pure white marble and unknown gems surrounds the city in a circle.

Above and below, as if they were flying in the sky, huge seahorses and fish were busily swimming, driving carriages or fish-carts like horses on the ground.

On the shells of giant sea turtles swimming along the wide street, vendors selling food, fruit, seaweed, and miscellaneous goods with unknown names were busily soliciting customers, and there were also people busily bargaining with vendors or leisurely walking their pet sharks and crocodiles. .

And such people are fish people or mermaids that I am familiar with, who have gills instead of ears and webbed feet.

Although they were very different from the humans I was familiar with, they were moving around their city lively, laughing and chatting just like any other people.

And most mysterious of all was the city itself.

A 20-story insula made entirely out of a huge rock, a domus the size of the Namgung family's manor, whose main body is a huge coral or sea anemone, and a mysterious stone temple covered in barnacles and luminous moss.

What is most amazing is the huge palace that overlooks the kingdom from high above.

And it was a huge stone statue of Poseidon that seemed very large even when viewed from a great height.

The jewel of the trident held high by the statue was emitting a soft light with strong energy, brightly illuminating the surrounding area.

"It's cool...?"

It was truly a majestic sight that brought to mind the words 'City of the Sea' and 'Kingdom of the Sea'.

"Ah! After all, you have eyes to see. That gem is none other than the gem among gems called the Heart of the Deep Sea, which Gaia gifted to Poseidon. It can be said to be a collection of tremendous power, divine power, and technology, including the city's protective wall, water temperature control, and light intensity control, while showing the majesty of Poseidon to the entire sea. "It is also called Poseidon's lighthouse because the inhabitants of all the seas follow the light of the heart whenever they come to see the lord of the sea."

"...?"

Now, the speed of falling, or rather diving, is slowly decreasing as the destination has been reached.

For some reason, a chatty voice was shooting tmi rapidly into my ear.

If I were to try my best to turn my attention to the meddlesome meddler who got in the middle of my pure emotion.

For some reason, a dolphin was looking at me and flapping her fins.

"Ah! It somehow smelled like land. This is it! Nowadays, people on land only go back and forth between Olympus and the courts of wealthy people. Coming to this beautiful and noble palace of Poseidon is a very, very excellent choice. Even the scent of this noble soul. He must have been born with a great lineage. Delpesias, what an honor it is to meet such a great hero! "It's just an honor!"

"No, no, wait. Wait for a sec. Could this be..."

I've fallen into this world of myths and read all kinds of articles, but is a dolphin talking to me now?

Even an incredibly chatty dolphin?

"Uh...?"

At least Chiron and the Centaurs were half human.

"Aha, are you surprised? Well, I guess you've never seen Delphini as knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and stylish as me on earth.

Thank you Hermes for guiding me and you!

Greetings from Delphini and Delpesias, ministers of foreign affairs and hospitality at Poseidon's court.

The court of Poseidon welcomes you. "You are a warrior from the land."

"Uh...Well, nice to meet you. "My name is Dianes."

There was still a long way to go before landing, so that I could barely see the entire view of the kingdom, and I was also intrigued by the guide, who was more than just a myth, he was even an allegory.

I decided to quietly listen to the dolphins' chatter.

I wonder if I can hear Neri's story.

The dolphin, or rather Delphini, who introduced herself as Delpesias, welcomed me in a very friendly manner.

It was a bit crazy because there was a lot, no, a lot of talking.

Anyway, according to his explanation, these highly spiritual dolphins are a race called Delphini. In the long past, when Poseidon was courting Amphitrite, they were of great help to him. The dolphins were placed in the constellations, and the descendants of the brave dolphin Delphini were named Poseidon's. It is said to be of great use in the palace.

"Hey, Amphitrite and Poseidon argue every day. The aftermath alone causes huge storms at sea. That simple fight is enough, but how chaotic it must have been when they had to fight over courtship in the past... We, Delphini's descendants, always admire the courage of our ancestors who were in the middle of that epic battle to save Amphitrite and prevent Poseidon's mistake. . And the warrior who entered this kingdom under the guidance of the great Poseidon must also be a great person, right?"

"Haha, there's still a long way to go."

"Wow, you're so humble! However, Delpesias has lived as a hospitality person in Poseidon's palace for quite some time. Considering that Poseidon personally invited me to his kingdom and sent me as a guide, he must be a tremendous hero. By any chance, Dianes, did Poseidon allow you to become a suitor for Nesneria, the daughter of Oceanos, the treasure of the sea? Also "

Among Delpesias' noisy words, one word came out that I could not ignore.

Nesneria's suitor?

"What now...?"

"But. Poseidon also presented Pegasus as a wedding item, and Amphitrite, Thetis, and their sisters also presented all kinds of jewels, miracles, and elixirs. "Anyone should try it."

"No, let's get that nonsense out of the way for a moment. What did you just say? Nesneria's suitor?"

Suitor.

In other words, it refers to a person who has applied and wants to get married.

But Delpesias seems to be saying that I am not the only suitor?

"Uh... Well, why are you acting so scary all of a sudden? Since you came all the way to this deep sea under the blessings of Poseidon, I thought you were naturally attending Nesneria's courtship festival...?"

"Therefore. "Neri is being courted?"

...Oh, Neri.

What on earth are you doing in just one day?

* *　　　＊

Amphitrite, queen of the sea, ruler of the deep sea, ruler of storms and tsunamis, fierce anger and disaster.

As her nickname suggests, she was a very beautiful and very dangerous goddess.

A voluptuous brown spirit body with long dark blue hair that falls to the floor like a tsunami covering the sky and a shimmering blue light.

Her cold-looking beauty revealed a fierce nature that could not be hidden, and that was the long scar running across her right eye, which glowed intensely.

This is the end of a ten-year-long confrontation with Poseidon after rejecting his courtship in the past.

It was a blow that Amphitrite, who had lost her strength, allowed Poseidon to take.

Poseidon, who had no intention of going that far, was shocked immediately after the attack, but was defeated.

She gently placed her body in his hands, later recognized Poseidon, married him, and continued to rule the sea with him.

Her earthly wit and the brat sun god of Olympus said that she ran away and was married to Poseidon thanks to her dolphin's tip, but who knows what bullshit the brat sun god is talking about with no blood on her head.

"Krrrr..."

Anyway, Amphitrite was very, very uncomfortable just last night.

To a certain extent, even Poseidon, the master of this palace and her kingdom, runs away from her when he sees her in the morning.

Well, Amphitrite was as resilient as Hera in all seasons due to Poseidon's endless wind.

Today's anger was different from that everyday anger.

"Uh, sister... Anyway..."

"Neri, I told you. "Beasts with objects hanging from their lower abdomen should not be spoken to."

The reason is that in front of her is the beautiful youngest child wearing a beautiful robe made to order by Athena.

It was not because of her mother Tethys' palace, but because of Nes Neria, who came crying to her villa.

'Huh! Big sister...!'

'Neri?! What's happening!'

Her youngest brother came to her office, crying, while she was working late at night.

According to Galatea, unlike her foolish sisters who only waited for the prince, Neri was a smart girl who confidently caught her man with her own hands.

For her to come to him crying like that, it was literally something that would turn the entire Deep Sea Kingdom beyond the Storm Palace upside down.

And the full story of the incident she was talking about was even more shocking.

How dare you have that precious treasure of the sea as your lover, and it seems that the hero who is your partner has embraced another woman.

Amphitrite was extremely angry at this and immediately prepared a revenge plot that would completely change this damn man's attire.

It was Nesneria's courtship festival.

"B-but I'm still with Dia..."

"Go back too much, we droplets, you too, step back."

The truth of the world is that if you make tears flow from your lover's eyes, tears of blood should come out of those eyes.

Even after seeing the situation in which this so-called mate had betrayed this good-natured little sister, she still seemed unable to let go of her feelings.

"No matter how much it is said that men's instinct is to spread their seeds everywhere.

There are degrees. "Are you already turning a blind eye to leaving your main wife, whom you can take care of for the rest of your life?"

"But for me..."

"Whoa..."

No, it's completely missing.

As she cried in her sister's arms all night, even with her pretty eyes puffy, all she could think about was her youngest sister, that bastard.

Amphitrite, who knows well how deep and strong the nymphs' love is, can only sigh...

"I can't do it, sister, I'll go and meet you for a moment. "We need to talk about it..."

"Neri, no."

"Why baby! "I-I might have misunderstood!"

In fact, Neri was right.

What Neri saw was a son of a bitch who had come back in the middle of the night and was asleep in the bathtub.

However, the strong scent of another unfamiliar woman was felt all over her body, so she must have been shocked by her delicate heart and ran to her older sister who was close to her.

'Honestly, that bastard was lucky.'

Just in case, she is not another daughter, and if the news that Neri cried because of a man reached her father's ears...

'...Ugh.'

A huge wave that will cover the kingdom of the deep sea and even Olympus will hit Greece.

Only that son of a bitch. To catch that one son of a bitch.

'Maybe Neri knew that and came to me...'

Amphitrite, Queen of the Sea, needed to prevent the unfortunate event that Neri would cry because of that bastard and the news would reach her father's ears.

At the same time, I had to impress on that shameful bastard's head who his real wife was.

"Listen carefully Neri. "What do you think deepens love?"

"Love?"

Neri's eyes instantly sparkle at the word love.

The sight made Amphitrite feel dizzy, but she endured it with all her patience.

"Yes, the bond between you and that son of a bitch...Hmmm, that guy named Dianeth has been around for a long time.

"You don't know if he loves you as much as you think."

"No. Dia also me..."

"Therefore. It's time to test how much he cares for you and how far he'll go for you. Listen carefully..."

It was around this time that the sisters were getting angry at each other and the conversation was slowly getting heated.

It happened this time.

-Cookung!

"What?!"

"Neri!"

An intense shock that shook Poseidon's palace, and a huge aura that began to be felt at the same time.

A knight unprecedented in the history of the deep-sea kingdom, where no threat existed except for the wrath of Poseidon and Amphitrite, cut off the sisters' argument.

"How dare... What kind of god would show such disrespect in Poseidon's palace!"

"Uh... This aura...?"

As Amphitrite was sharpening her teeth while holding her younger brother, who had almost fallen, in her arms, her lieutenant hurriedly rushed over and reported the situation.

"Your Majesty! There is an intruder!"

"No, what kind of person is trespassing into Poseidon's palace? Have you confirmed the number of people and their affiliation?"

"Well, that is..."

The mermaid, who had lived almost her entire life as Amphitrite's lieutenant, hesitated, as if she did not even believe herself, and with difficulty opened her mouth.

"Chi, there is only one intruder! Po, it is said that he is an earthly person who was invited by Poseidon!"

"What...?!"

Since there is an outside intruder, the most precious treasure must be evacuated first.

"Neri! This way right now... Neri?"

However, the beautiful water droplets, the most precious and dangerous in this sea, suddenly disappeared.

"...Pontos, my God."

With a dizzying feeling, only Amphitrite's lament remained silent.

◈ Chapter 117 - My Own Myth.

Alcohol brings back old memories.

Drunkenness makes calm emotions boil over.

And deep darkness brings out memories and emotions.

I calmed down my inner and spiritual strength and drank it until the sun set in the sky, and even the stories I used as snacks were the main characters of emotions that were entangled with stories that were no different from disgust for me.

While I was sinking into the deep sea without a single glimmer of light, the good thing before my eyes was the foolish, incompetent, pathetic fool who wandered the world intoxicated by himself.

I knew it too.

I was acutely aware that my relationship with her was one of just being used and exploited.

She is my power and my status as the rightful successor to the Twelve God Demons.

I have intelligence and resourcefulness that can surpass Warryong and Bongchu.

The two of us had a complementary relationship where we made up for what the other lacked, and we were just in a relationship where we strictly maintained the good and cooperated for each other's goals.

A rare genius who was devastated because there was no one in the world who could understand him.

A wanderer who managed to get up and start a home in a completely different world.

Two weirdos who are not understood in this world.

One for revenge, the other for the sake of the wish they carried, despite distrusting and doubting each other, they boarded the same boat and overcame the hardships of the Heavenly Demon Church together.

And before I knew it, I was walking around her manor holding her hand, and she would rest her head on my shoulder and fall asleep quietly.

Sometimes alcohol, sometimes tea.

At one time, we were walking together in the vast snowy fields of Hundred Thousand Peaks, and at other times we were looking around the secret scenery that was green all year round.

During those days, I think I realized for the first time what love was.

'But I was always missing in her eyes.'

But her eyes were never looking at me.

Even on the day I hugged a woman for the first time in my two lives, she who shared my bed did not even look for me in her sleep.

The five leaders of the previous generation and Jeongdo clan who harmed her friends and brought down her family.

Even when the leader of her squadron was subdued and given to her, she only burst into laughter and taunted her own enemy.

But still, I couldn't give up hope at the time.

It was really funny and a ridiculous idea.

I already had too much time, and she also thought that one day, when the resentment in her heart was relieved, her eyes would look at me.

However, it was all a very reckless illusion.

I realized this only after I had fulfilled all my duties and aspirations.

After a long, long time it was too late.

"I won't do anything stupid like that anymore."

The master of greed and desire.

An agent of pleasure and agony.

They just put out a big name and pretend not to know what they are truly greedy for.

I will now abandon the fool who risked his life on other people's wishes and flashy reputation.

Anyone can pick up the useless outer legs.

However, the jewels held in my hands can never escape my hands.

"Whoa... Neri, Neri, you tomboy."

I was definitely in a situation where I could have been misunderstood, but what do you do when you turn a person's clothes around every now and then?

Courtship ceremony?

If you thought I would just tolerate it after all this, then you, this swarthy princess, don't know me for a long time yet.

Even if this wasn't what she wanted, I was planning on breaking her habit of not listening to people, making random guesses, and hiding in the sea.

"Tsk, did you drink too much? I just do my best to exercise after eating.

Anyway, it's surprising, even fishmen's blood is red."

"Woah... What are you going to do with this! "These are the guards of Poseidon's palace!"

A deep-sea palace that I could not help but admire from up there.

I was the only one standing on the main staircase, which had been filled with fishman soldiers rushing down the stairs just moments ago.

"Awful... Haunted..."

"It's funny."

I couldn't help but laugh at the behavior of dismissing beings outside of one's knowledge as monsters, whether in the mythical era or the human era, or on land.

"Ugh! "What on earth should I say to Poseidon about this..."

"If you were that pirate captain, you would be happy that I beat him up well. On the contrary, he might be angry that the soldiers under his command are weaklings."

The entrance to the palace is the size of a small playground with a staircase area.

The people sprawled out on the stairs were none other than palace soldiers who had rushed to the emergency call.

I feel like I'm moderately drunk and sobbing, and my heart is bubbling over from old memories and Neri's troubles.

I was preparing to say something as soon as I met him, but when I was guided by Delpesias and identified myself at the entrance, I heard a voice say...

"Well, it's not a place where a land bastard would dare set foot? "Are you really out of it?"

Delpesias even revealed that he was a guest of Poseidon, and the lowly land bastard dared to hold out a spear for selling Poseidon's name.

So, I just flipped it over.

"It's not my fault. "It's because of the incredibly delicious beer that Poseidon gave me."

"I-I couldn't go..."

The sentry, who had every joint in his body shattered for shamelessly pointing his spear at me and swearing at me, held on to my ankles until the very end, as if his loyalty was genuine.

-Quad!

"Kwaaak!"

In the end, the last wrist joint was also shattered.

Still, everyone survived, so it's a good thing.

"...Hmm."

"Well, first of all, guests. Please step aside now and plan for the future. "I'm sure Amphitrite would have noticed the aura you gave off earlier!"

"Ah... Your Majesty, who said you put a knife in Brother Poseidon's stomach?"

"Yes! No matter how much you say you are a hero with advanced martial arts and strength. Amphitrite is the master of storms and storms! "This is not someone you can ever deal with!"

"Hmm..."

To be honest, as for my current state, I cannot say that I am completely in perfect condition.

He ascended to the pole with the help of Hercules, but right after that he had a wild run with Artemis.

Plus, I'm still sore from Poseidon punching me squarely in the stomach...

"But I still have to see Neri's face."

"Ugh... I heard that Neri made a lover on earth. "I never thought he would be such a ruthless person..."

"It's outrageous. Just what is important to me. "I just think deeply about what is important and then move on."

"Hoo... What do you mean...?"

Del Pesias, who had been holding his head at my words, looked at me with his eyes sparkling.

"Nesneria always says. You said that although your lover values you, he is dissatisfied that he sees you as too young. Surprisingly, you were looking at Nesneria seriously, weren't you?"

"Well, that's right. There will be a lot of stairs anyway. "It will likely take a while for Her Majesty to arrive. Shall we talk about it as we go?"

"Great! "Delpesias, this kind of love story is unbearable."

I can't tell if this dolphin is brave or just distracted.

Just now, he was screaming at the sight of the guard dying, but this time his eyes are shining at the love story.

However, whether he was drunk or intoxicated by the memories that came to mind, he was the perfect person to listen to my now quite light-hearted conversation.

"Brilliant Delphini. Let me ask you something. Do you know when people are most miserable?"

"Hmm... I don't know. After all, isn't it time to be hungry? "The punishment that cruel Tantalus received was the punishment of eternal hunger."

Like. This is fun again.

It is the perspective of myth from a creature other than a person or a god.

"That's an interesting perspective."

"What do you think, hero?"

"Me? I am..."

A life in my past life where I lacked nothing, materially or physically.

However, there was only one thing that could not be reversed, not even with the martial arts that reached the sky, nor with the gold and silver treasures piled up like mountains.

It made me so miserable and eventually led to my death.

"Eyes that don't see me."

"...Yes?"

"It's what killed me, and it's what's making me do these stupid things."

Gwihyeonsa, who has lived his entire life as a revenge ghost, and Neri, who grew up as a precious princess since childhood.

To be honest, Gwihyeonsa and Neri were completely opposite women.

The woman I loved was so terribly wise that she didn't see me until the end, and even aimed a dagger at me out of a small pang in her eyes that didn't see me.

She didn't even tell me her name until the end and only left me with her nickname, Gwihyeonsa.

How many times had she been captivated by the sight of Gwihyeonsa, who always smiled calmly and played with her brush.

When I thought about it, I began to doubt whether that terrible vengeful spirit had calculated it and used it.

Nevertheless, the sad animal called man cannot forget his first woman, and even though she disappeared throughout her long life, she remained so deeply in my memory.

At some point, I opened my eyes and found myself once again in an unfamiliar land with no real connections. I was a wanderer who lived mechanically, unable to find a place to vent or to lean on.

Even though I got a new body and a new name, and even though my head was overflowing with a lot of wisdom and knowledge.

At best, she was a fool who only looked at me after she was burning with a woman's deep resentment and revenge. She couldn't forget those eyes and just lived and breathed.

Whether it's mythology or Greece, I don't know what it is, I just live because I'm alive.

While she was suffering from self-harm and living a helpless life, she eventually met him.

"Who...?"

"My own myth."

It was still vivid in my memory.

It was a pitch-black night, and after eluding the foolish priests, I was hungry and was searching the forest for some grilled meat.

But suddenly, a pure white shadow appeared on the other side of the forest.

"At first I thought it was a ghost. But the energy radiating is so..."

"Too?"

"...It was beautiful."

The unknown that makes a worn out heart beat again.

In response to that unknown, all of my past memories and memories seemed to be good, so I carefully followed that white presence as if I was possessed by a fox.

And when I finally caught up to him, I was so overcome with emotion that I couldn't say anything.

A pure white fairy that sparkles clearly even on a dark night.

The vitality and innocent blue eyes brimming with just a breath or a glance seemed like a miracle to me at the time.

I, who was alive but dead, are completely different from the wise man who devoted his entire life to madness as a vengeful spirit and cursed even the man who loved him at the end.

A soul so pure and pure.

Although I have seen countless stories of Gigi and martial arts knights, that day was probably the first time I truly accepted what was a myth.

"And now my myth is in the hands of another guy. "Can I go out in moderation?"

I could accept whatever Neri did to me.

Whether they throw tantrums, act in a tantrum, or point a knife at someone with pitch-black emotions.

However, if it tries to get out of my hands as it pleases, whether it is Neri's plan or someone else's soup. It was my intention to show it off this time.

"Eh? Then why do you treat me like a child? Sudden! I want you to commit a great deed!

"If you just place two beautiful babies in Nesneria's arms, you will never do anything like this..."

"Hey you crazy bastard!"

-Takkong!

"Kyaul!?"

The chestnut flew like a flash and struck the dolphin's forehead.

"Just looking at Amman, what can we do with a child who is in middle school... No, he hasn't even had his coming-of-age ceremony yet?"

"B-but Neri is older than you..."

"Is age a problem?"

He looks good on the outside, but his behavior is that of a child. Why would you ask him to do something so harsh to a child like that?

"You're being stubborn in a strange place, aren't you?"

"Do you think I'm weird? Sincerely?"

Oh my god. Are you saying that everyone in this town, from gods to beasts, is insane?

Young master, oh my god.

No, no matter how much it is Greece, to a child who looks like she may have just entered middle school...

"Huh..."

It was a time when I called out the name of Gongmaeng and lamented.

-Kugugu goong...!

As I shook my head and looked up the stairs, the remaining approximately 50 palace doors were slowly opening.

"Neri?"

"Huh...Huh..."

And through the open door, Neri and a fierce-looking goddess with impressive brown skin appeared next to her.

Looking at her blue eyes that look just like Neri's and the long scar across them, it's likely Queen Amphitrite's workplace.

I was just about to prepare to attack when I saw him come out the door with his sword already in place.

"Phew! Phew!Haha!"

"Sisiiiii...!"

As soon as the queen saw me, she bit her lip and whimpered, eventually bursting into laughter.

Next to him, Neri, whose face was colored like a ripe apple, was a bonus.

◈ Chapter 118 - Sokman Saenim

High gods usually have good ears.

Wherever that divine power extends, no matter how far away or hidden it may be spoken, everything is heard by the gods.

Wasn't the victim of that god's superior hearing ability none other than Chelone, who was turned into a turtle because of the words she muttered to herself while rolling around in Hera's house on her wedding day?

Although she is not as good as Hera, who with her overflowing divine power can even catch the mutterings of the distant human world even on Olympus.

Amphitrite also possessed considerable divine power, and even in the middle of the sea, which was her domain, there was no being that could escape her eyes and ears anywhere in the sea surrounding Greece.

And, thanks to her hearing, she was able to carefully listen to the thoughts of the son of a bitch who made her pretty little girl cry.

"Hmm, hmm...?"

"Sister! Let me go! Dia is scary when she's angry!"

"Just stay still. "Because she's trying to find out what kind of guy your potential partner is."

No matter how much Nesneria runs, she ends up on Amphitrite's palm.

Nesneria ran away in the blink of an eye, but she couldn't believe how far she would go if she ran on her tiny feet.

In an instant, Amphitrite continued her steps, patting Nes Neria, who was struggling on her shoulder.

'It's not my fault, it's the fault of the incredibly delicious beer that Poseidon gave me, no, it's the Met.'

"Her. "Look at this guy?"

Mett from far away across the sea is delicious, but in Greece, a country full of people, there are few people who know its taste.

Even though she and her husband, who was like a pirate captain, fought hard at first and fought hard afterwards.

One of the reasons why the Met uses the same bed and the same palace.

This is because he was one of the few drinking friends in this vast Greece who knew the taste of refreshing meth.

"He's a guy who knows the taste of alcohol."

As he was smiling with satisfaction, Delpesias, who was quick-witted, began to understand his intentions.

As expected, it was the speech of a descendant of that dolphin guy who rose to stardom with his wit and quick speech.

"Sister? "Well, what do they say..?"

"Huh? "You can hear it too, right?"

"Oh, that's right."

Neri, who was fluttering around excitedly, also noticed what Amphitrite was doing and calmly joined her and listened to her.

The sisters walked slowly and listened together as a wanderer named Dianes complained in a slightly drunken voice.

"Hoo... The eyes don't see me..."

From what I heard from Neri, he was a young boy who had recently entered Chiron's nest after having her coming-of-age ceremony.

The words that came out and the things that came out in every word were not things that a bloodthirsty hero could have.

"I can't believe this guy has been hiding in Chiron's forest all this time..."

"Oh! "It was you who turned over the sea with Hercules yesterday."

"...What?"

Who is Hercules?

Wasn't that the first great hero that insensitive Zeus had achieved in thousands of years?

This is the treasure of Zeus, which he boasted about by flipping over Hera's costume and frying it every time he went to the Olympus banquet.

She was well aware that the treasure awakened the divine power of Zeus that had been dormant in her veins.

Not anywhere else, but on the coast named after her husband, Poseidon, where a tidal wave the size of a cluster of thunderstorms raged.

However, I thought that the huge tsunami was fighting against some huge force and eventually disappeared at the same time.

I couldn't have guessed that the drunkard trudging up the stairs right now was Hercules' rival.

'First of all, does the power pass?'

However, if you look at what is being said, not only its power but also its content is unusual.

I could understand why this little sister, who was the embodiment of shining innocence and curiosity, was fascinated by that black guy.

'What on earth is hidden inside that bright blue and smooth shell?'

By any chance, did the old god, tired of his long seclusion, come out in the flesh and go abroad?

Otherwise, there would be no way such extreme joy and sorrow would come out of the mouth of such a young bastard...

'Hmm... Well, where is this guy in Greece who doesn't have a story?'

She was not the person to delve into her story and face the truth.

"Hoeeeh..."

"Ugh. "I don't know what's going on between my sister and my brother-in-law..."

This guy is so stubborn that he is alone in the confession of pure love that immediately follows.

"Myth... Hehe, I am Dia's only myth...Hehe..."

"What should I do with this small sum..."

These words were clearly said out of a drunken state and in the absence of the person involved, so those words must have been the sincerity of that guy named Dianeth.

First of all, I knew how much that black guy cared for and loved the youngest daughter of Oceanus.

'But, nevertheless. Also, that guy was hanging out with another woman. It must be true.'

It would not be enough to count all the rocks in the deep sea to record the excuses that made her ears noisy, along with Poseidon's many windy actions and the long new life.

Amphitrite's ears and intuition, trained in this way, convinced her that that bastard had done something dishonest to Neri, and that Neri had not created this division out of a simple misunderstanding.

"You can fool everyone else, but you can't fool yourself."

Hehe... Huh? Sister? What did you say?"

"No, nothing."

Precise steps even when drunk, pitch that doesn't waver even an inch.

However, the way Neri's voice shook with shameful emotions every time he mentioned his name and story was proof that this guy was well aware of his sins, even if he was trying to get drunk and look away.

"Ugh... I guess this can't be helped either."

Even Hera couldn't help that Zeus was teasing her, so he came to her on her last day and poured her a drink.

Even Amphitrite, how many stomachs had she swallowed as she watched Poseidon cheat and raise his children for all these years.

Even her, Hera, and her unwanted marriage, she had accepted because she was tired of his persistent courtship and pursuit!

"It's just that Hades is a bit busy, but he's good to Persephone."

From the looks of it, her pretty youngest brother is also going to have a lot of trouble in the future...

What can I do? I can only lament that the guy I fell in love with first lost.

"But it seems like he's almost as infatuated with you as you are... So that's a good thing."

I can only hope that he resembles the underground public wife and not the other two idiots.

[Eh? Then why do you treat me like a child? Sudden! Please carry out the great deed!]

"Hoeng?!"

"Oh, as expected of that clever dolphin's grandson. He has god-level senses."

What Amphitrite had been wondering since yesterday was why she thought Neri was an innocent child.

No matter what goddess or woman she is, she can't be as beautiful as Nes Neria, the treasure of the sea, the pretty drop of water.

But you left your beautiful lover, turned your attention elsewhere, and came back so exhausted that you collapsed and fell asleep in the bathtub?

"Oh wow..."

"He's a strange guy."

With beautifully colored pale cheeks and blue eyes that shine brighter than any other jewel in the world, isn't she the goddess of the sea so beautiful that even Aphrodite would kiss her forehead, saying she was pretty?

I was so in love with it that I even told a dolphin I had never met before that I was in love with it and that it was so beautiful that I praised it as a myth, so why didn't I touch it?

"Lol..."

"Seo, really?"

Amphitrite was about to smile cutely at the sight of her helpless little sister wandering around alone, but one possibility soon occurred to her. She soon put the thought out of her mind.

Surely, there is no way there is a guy who is not touched by a nymph, not even from another race, just because he looks young...

[Just looking at the cancer, what can we do with a child who is in middle school... Or at an age where he couldn't even have a coming-of-age ceremony?]

...There was.

"To...?"

"Phew!"

The moment when the two sisters stopped in their tracks at the explosive remark that sent a thunderbolt to Neri's head and a burst of laughter to Amphitrite's face.

[B-but Neri is older than you...]

[Is age a problem? He looks and acts like a child!]

The continuous onslaught of pure and thoughtful heroes began to drive the two sisters to the brink of death.

Nesneria has a face that looks like it will disappear in an instant, turning into ash or even water droplets.

How could it be that Amphitrite had no idea that her crazy bastard, who turned Poseidon's palace upside down just because her lover had run away, would make such a statement?

On one side, all kinds of regrets were coming and going and slowly being carbonized, while on the other side, his knees were shaking as he was on the verge of bursting out in laughter.

Eventually, their destination revealed itself.

"Ah... There you go. "Phew!"

"Sister! For a moment! Wait for a sec!"

"Yes, no."

Would there be a perfect moment to open the door other than now?

Amphitrite swore she was a very boring newborn, and she couldn't help but say that she wasn't there.

- Kugugugugugung!

The door opens coldly despite the wishes of the pretty Nesneria.

Beyond that, the hero appeared, paying no attention to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poseidon's Palace and the queen of this palace, only looking at Neri, who stood next to her.

'Hoo...? Still, when I saw him in person, he looked much more handsome.'

Amphitrite's tastes tended towards the more masculine and rugged side, but even so, her slightly shaded decadent off-white and her body, as sharp and hardened as a sharpened sword, were clearly that of a warrior.

Amphitrite slowly glanced at his face in an instant.

However, the stupid remark that had tickled her ear just now made her burst into laughter again.

"Puhahahaha!!"

"Sister..!!"

Next to her, Neri, who was struggling in shame, grabbed her leg and started fighting, but even so, Amphitrite could not stop her laughter.

"Fuhahaha! In this Greece, with such a black face, what is it? Puhahahaha!!"

Amphitrite, who had burst out laughing so hard that her floor was rolling, was only able to come to her senses after laughing like that for a while.

"Puhu... Hey, just fool around."

"...Are you talking about me?"

"Is there anyone else besides you?"

Even though he clearly knew who she was, Amphitrite chuckled at the defiant appearance of her answering crookedly.

In fact, that aspect made it worth adding more points.

If this is the case, it's worth giving it a chance.

If you are someone who only looks at your lover in front of Amphitrite, not anyone else.

"For now... Let's solve it together and see."

"What?"

"Ok? Sister?"

-Wow!

She lightly flicked her hand, and the two lovers who were standing there dumbly disappeared in an instant.

"Then... Have a good time~"

Since I can't hold Neri in my arms forever, shouldn't I use this opportunity to break my habit of running away?

As her eldest sister and caregiver, Amphitrite smiled contentedly as she cheered on her youngest sibling.

◈ Chapter 119 - Nesneria's Secret

Amphitrite.

Goddess of storms, storms, and tsunamis.

Poseidon's companion and queen of the sea, the original great goddess who ruled the sea after Oceanos.

She is one of the three most powerful goddesses, along with Hera, Queen of Olympus, and Persephone, Queen of the Underworld.

Like Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, she is said to focus primarily on managing her own domain, the sea, and is not as powerful on land.

However, to sailors, fishermen, and pirates crossing the sea, she seemed to be considered a guardian deity or the most feared goddess.

In addition, according to Chiron's class, it is surprisingly easy to fall for Poseidon's cheating, and the heroes of Poseidon's bloodline are not so great, so the survival rate of Poseidon's heroes is higher than that of heroes of Zeus' bloodline.

If you have to cross the sea, you will not have to explore the deep sea if you offer the best mat in the area, that is, beer and carefully prepared meat from your own game.

And also.

She said, 'She is a goddess who has been traveling the seas for a long time, so she has a very open personality, so even if she is in front of a goddess, she will hate it even more when she trembles or falls flat on her face.'

The image of Master Chiron emphasizing that we must remember it, not write it down on a stone tablet, but engrave it.

In most cases, theology classes of this era are ultimately classes on heroes' dealings with God and common sense.

"Oh..."

"Hoeh..."

And the teacher's grace is like heaven.

I was able to see at once what the scale of her open personality attached to the goddess was.

"What the hell is this place..."

"Wow!! This place! "It's my eldest sister's favorite villa!"

As Neri said, we were in the villa.

If you slowly turn your head and look outside, the water's surface, shimmering with moonlight in the sky, is shaking in the distance.

When you look down, you will see the stone statue of Poseidon barely visible in the distance and the summit of the deep-sea volcano, where the deep-sea light source stands out.

In an instant, Neri and I were in front of the large villa built at the top.

"Wow!"

"Neri! "If I went that way alone...!"

Anyway, I guess I'm just a kid. Neri is excited and runs towards the huge palace gate.

Those small hands may not be able to break it, but they won't be able to open it.

As I followed her and shook my head, saying that I couldn't stop her, I felt my sense of perspective slowly creaking.

"No, how big is it?"

The gate of the villa that Neri and I arrived at in an instant could be called a work of art.

The door made of blue gems, coral, and white marble was reminiscent of the Arc de Triomphe seen in France long ago.

It's smaller than the palace gate I saw earlier, but it seems more expensive...

"Open the door!"

Neri, who had reached the door before I could catch her, shouted excitedly, and the door to the huge villa opened without a sound to welcome us.

"...Magic?"

"Dia! Let's go! Hurry!"

Neri, with sparkling eyes as if she were at an amusement park, walked forward, holding my arm.

"This is the palace that my eldest sister has decorated for 500 years! Later, when I have my actual coming-of-age ceremony, they gave me a tour of this place just once! "It feels like a dream!"

"Ah..."

It was definitely a dream-like place, as Neri said.

The palace was filled with corals and gems that glowed softly like starlight, illuminating the huge star palace neither too brightly like the day nor too dark like the night before the end of the year.

"This is a garden! This is a walking trail! This is the parlor! "This is a swimming pool!"

Neri seemed to have forgotten how she cried last night and how she struggled with shame earlier, so she dragged me by my arm and dragged me around the villa.

"Heo...Heo... W, here..."

This is Neri, with the boundless vitality of a child and the vitality of a nymph overflowing in the sea.

Even for her, it seemed impossible to introduce all of these villas.

"Anyway, I know it's a great place."

The palace of Tahwajajaecheon in the world of rituals and desires in the present world, where I lived in my past life, donated by the members of the Million Demon Island.

The villa gifted to Neri was so beautiful and huge that it surpassed my temple, which took twenty years to build.

Reliefs of sisters with a thousand waves carved here and there and images of Poseidon and Amphitrite who protect and protect this palace.

And the sculptures of a huge old god and a beautiful goddess standing tall in the center of the villa.

"These people..."

"Wow! My dad and mom! Aren't they cool?"

It's much bigger than the original!

I was truly worried and fearful, so I threw it away and Neri continued her tour of the villa.

"I understand why you said you wanted to bring me with you whenever you get the chance."

The wide view of the villa beyond the hallway and beyond the wall, and the beautiful swaying sea beyond were not as dark and gloomy as I imagined.

-Sssss...

The whisper of ocean currents that constantly fluctuate like the sound of the wind, and various marine creatures swimming leisurely in the ocean currents.

And something sparkling like starlight, illuminating the dark depths of the sea.

"And!! The sea stars have risen...!"

"Sea star?"

"Huh! "My brother-in-law and eldest sister only show up when they're really in a mood, and it looks like they really liked you!"

I thought it was probably a jellyfish or some kind of deep-sea fish, but the Nereid nymphs that lived in these seas would know better than my walnut-sized knowledge.

"Neri."

"Huh?"

"Shall we talk?"

Neri hangs on the window sill, her eyes twinkling at the stars floating in the deep sea.

I sat down next to him and smiled awkwardly.

"Uh... Well... Byeo, let's take a look at the villa first..."

"I want to talk now."

Also.

Even I was often fooled by her appearance and behavior and treated her like a child, but she was also a goddess who inherited the lineage of the sea, just like the royal families of the sky.

Even if he has the appearance of a child and tries to charm me with his innocent behavior, his deep and beautiful essence is always glimmering beyond those blue eyes.

More than anything else, what made me fall in love so much was the darkness behind the bright light.

"But..."

"Neri, no matter what secrets or stories you have, nothing you worry about will happen to me."

Who could not love this two-faced goddess, with her undeniable innocence and her terrifying abyss?

And what is this small-looking goddess with such beautiful and destructive colors afraid of? Why does she try so hard to avoid me?

The mere thought of me embracing a woman other than myself was enough to make me cry and run away into the sea, and even now, even as I face it, I plan to delve deep inside her, who puts on the mask of a child and tries to avoid any conversation with me.

"Ugh..."

"..."

"Well, over there..."

"..."

"Hey..."

Neri pouted her lips as I just stared at her in silence. She finally seemed to have given up and jumped up to sit next to me.

"Neri? I'm First..."

"No."

Neri hesitated until the very end before sitting next to me, but I guess she made up her mind.

He shook his head firmly at my words.

"I'll tell you first... I, I will tell you first."
