I Obtained a Mythic Item

Episode 306 The Fourth Ordeal (1)

When Jaehyun meets Jormungandr for the ordeal.

Kwajik!

Odin sat on his throne, rarely clenching his fists.

From that, a clear anger spreads out like a branch. Along with thickly protruding blood vessels, the godhead bounces with a crackling sound.

The reason Odin was so angry was simple.

Hlydskalp.

It was because there was an existence outside the gaze of the throne that could contemplate everything in the world.

“Loki… did he dare to escape from Asgard’s prison?”

Loki.

Soon after, Trickster escaped from his prison.

This is a serious issue no matter how you look at it.

Loki, the head of the Anti-Aesir Alliance.

The power he had dared to equal or exceed that of himself or Thor. Although its power must have been degraded due to long restraints, if it regains its power quickly…

‘There is a risk that the game of the second Ragnarok will be reversed.’

It just meant that it couldn’t be ignored.

In fact, in the past, Odin expected something like this to happen.

Because of this, even when he first built the prison to restrain Loki, he put a lot of thought and effort into it compared to other buildings.

Even if all the restraints and restrictions in the world disappear, I have been thinking and worrying so that I can never get out of my control.

Mythical level monsters were also placed at a level that reached 10,000 water points.

Odin thought first.

At that level, it would be possible to stop and possibly even defeat the weakened Loki.

It was so vaguely judged.

However…

“I was complacent. He was more cunning and stronger.”

Could it be that the intuition has been blunted for 10,000 years?

He underestimated Loki.

Loki’s escape this time was tantamount to proving this.

when he was in trouble

Thor, who had been silently listening in front of him, interrupted.

“But Father. There is no need to worry too much, right? No matter how much he is, he probably hasn’t fully recovered his strength yet… Besides.

Aren’t you the one who was defeated by us anyway?”

“Defeat? Did you say defeat?”

Odin snorted.

It was proof that Thor’s words were absurd.

Odin said, raising his rank and extending his momentum.

The deity of a mythical being that has reached the 5th level stretches out and starts to shake the ground and the palace.

“In the first Ragnarok, the anti-Aesir forces were much weaker than us. However, it was always us who fell a little behind in battle. Why do you think it was?”

Thor narrowed his brow.

This time, it was an unspoken sign that he would not just listen.

“Are you saying Loki alone made that possible? The word leaps too far.”

“At least, he was a much more usable guy than you, who was stupid and strong. Although he was an enemy, his tactics were excellent enough to be counted on one hand.”

Odin didn’t even think about Thor’s expression or mood.

“The only thing we were able to win was Idun’s Golden Apple and Einherjar. And it was thanks to the Valkyrie army led by Freya, not because you were strong.”

“That is also strength. If making use of others is not strength, then what is strength?”

“You’re just a mouthful. How many times do you think you and your wife have been fooled by his tricks? Thor, you’re starting to lose your mind. I doubt if he is really my son.”

As Odin’s sarcastic remarks settled down, Thor stopped his constant flirtation.

His gaze turns to his father.

It was a blasphemous gaze that could hardly be believed to be directed at the highest power in Asgard.

However, Odin persisted in his stubborn attitude and continued to criticize his son.

“If you’re arrogant about killing a filthy giant, you’d better stop right now. If you really don’t want to die by my hand.”

“…sorry. However, I was just saying it because I was worried that my father seemed to be overly concerned. Please forget it with a generous heart.”

As Thor lowered his head, Odin looked away with a slightly softened face.

“So… have you all figured out what the adversary’s current skill level is? Late?”

At that moment, a black shadow that had been moving behind the curtains stood out clearly in front of me.

A being that appeared in the thick darkness.

It was Hugin the Crow.

“I haven’t fully grasped it yet… but I think it’s close to the 3rd stage of divine power liberation. After all, it was none other than Sigrun-nim. At least you won’t be stuck at stage 2.

And… it will grow faster.”

Odin nodded.

“I will move a little faster. I need to restore my divinity, which I lost due to the destruction of the mirror… At least prepare to move properly within a month.”

“I will take your order.”

“Everyone go away.”

Thor and Hugin in Odin’s celestial order.

The two beings lowered their heads at the same time as if they had matched.

“Everything according to the will of the great Odin.”

* * *

“So Jormungand. What is the theme of the fourth ordeal?”

Jormungandr, who finally regained his composure at Jaehyun’s question, smiled grinning as he flicked his tongue.

It seemed that the embarrassment caused by the gag had finally gone.

[Are you directly asking me, the person in charge of the trials, about the contents of the test? I knew the rumors, but… Isn’t this too shameless?]

Jaehyun’s guts were truly amazing.

To the extent that even that Jormungandr laughed.

However, contrary to what Jormungand had thought, Jaehyun’s eyes were only serious.

His expression was innocent, as if he really thought that Jormungand would tell the story of his ordeal.

Of course, Hella knew very well that Jaehyun was the farthest from naivety.

‘It’s impudent.’

Though thinking so, Hella did not point out Jaehyun’s attitude.

In fact, for Jaehyun, the current reaction was quite natural.

It’s better for him to go through the ordeal with a little more information in his hands.

Although there is no royal road to becoming strong, and you must not rush your mind. Even so, it was not a story that could be used even in the current situation.

Moreover.

‘The three trials I’ve taken so far… they always pushed and tested me to my limits. It will be the same this time too. I like to find the easiest way.

At least until I can properly handle this power.’

No matter how much the ordeals grow Jaehyun…

the fourth ordeal in a situation where you can’t properly handle the godhead?

Whatever is in reserve would be perfect for dying.

‘Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ve heard the contents, but I roughly understand Jormungandr’s personality…’

It was at that time that Jaehyun was collecting information about the person in charge of the fourth ordeal.

Jormungandr’s voice broke into his thoughts with a sudden gasp and tongue flick.

[good night. let me know The theme of the fourth trial.]

“…yes?”

Jaehyun rolled his eyes and said.

At first, he acted like he wouldn’t tell me, but it seemed that the story would work. He smiled in satisfaction, as if he liked Jaehyun again.

[why? Don’t you like it?]

Jaehyun shook his head and put a faint smile on his lips.

“As expected, Midgard’s serpent… Yudori is cool. Even if it’s not, when I read Shinhwa, I thought your story was the most interesting.”

[haha. is it. Thank you for lying.]

In a warm atmosphere. For some reason, Hella had a dark expression.

She seemed to be talking to someone. He’s probably communicating with Hell or other faction members via telepathy.

Jaehyun didn’t care deeply. First of all, because trials lie in front of you.

Right now, you have to focus on what’s in front of you first.

Jormungandr, perhaps aware of Jaehyun’s feelings, also slowly opened his mouth.

It was the moment when the details of the fourth trial were finally revealed.

[The theme of the fourth ordeal is ‘forbidden’.]

Forbidden?

While Jaehyun tilted his head, Jormungandr’s explanation continued.

[You are me from now on. You will receive Jormungandr’s ban, and if you pass it, you will fully rise to the stage of Divinity Liberation 3.

Now, no one will be able to call you a half-god, and you will get the right to attend the regular meeting in Hel.] It

was a more shocking reward than Jaehyun had thought.

Along with his thoughts, a quest window appeared in the air.

―Accept the main quest 《The Trial of Jormungand》.

* * *

Sounds of conversation can be heard from inside Thor’s room in Asgard.

There were three men standing there.

Thor and two young men standing side by side in front of him.

They were Thor’s sons, Magni and Modi.

“Magni Modi. Do you understand What an important task you have been entrusted with this time.”

“… but father. Aren’t you the antagonist who defeated Sigrun? Even if we fight together, we might not be able to defeat him.

Odin didn’t even give us the mission directly… I don’t know if it’s right for us to step forward now.”

Magni said slightly embarrassed.

Modi interjected, frowning.

“Magni, are you at least afraid of humans? We are the sons of the thunder god Thor and one of the great gods of Asgard.”

“Mony. Don’t you think you’re too careless?”

The opinions of the sons were sharply divided.

Of course, Thor didn’t like the answer, but they also had their own circumstances.

The words that Thor summoned the two gods a while ago.

That was enough to embarrass the two gods.

[I will give you an order as a father. Go to Midgard, kill the opponents, and return.]

It was almost like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Sadly, Magni was not a battle fanatic like his father.

He was born with such strong power that he was accustomed to fighting, but he did not enjoy fighting.

In the case of Modi, he inherited his father’s warlike personality, but lacked fundamental strength and talent.

‘It would have been nice if only one of them had inherited all of my powers and personality…’

Thor had thought of that more than once or twice.

To Magni and Modi, Thor’s mountain was high with Mjolnir and Megingjord.

An existence that cannot be surpassed by any means.

That was the status of a father in Asgard.

Because of this, the two sons gave up on surpassing their father and spent time with Egir every day drinking or enjoying sex.

The other gods, of course, looked at them with pitiful eyes.

Thor was upset about it, and now he too was ignored by Odin. I devised a trick to boost myself and my son Modi Magni’s presence in Asgard.

The plan itself was simple.

It’s to get Modi and Magni to kill the antagonist.

If he succeeds, his position in Asgard will now reach right below his father.

The ripple effect of the name of the antagonist of prophecy.

This is because it is a level that cannot be ignored in Asgard, which values prophecy.

However, Tor has this problem. What if Modi and Magni, who were called his ugly sons, succeed in defeating them?

As long as he won, there was nothing wrong with Thor. A reward obtained by defeating an adversary, a human who obtained at least slightly stronger power.

It was sweet indeed.

‘No matter how strong the adversary is, there is a high possibility that it is an inflated rumor. Although she killed Heimdall and Sigrun, who had a 30% divine power, it must have been because she made a mistake or was careless.

No matter how you think about it, that crow’s evaluation is incomprehensible.’

Thor thought about that and nodded his head.

“My decision will not be reversed. You will have to head to Midgard to defeat the adversary. but.”

Thor said, looking down at his two sons.

“I am also your father. I am not giving you anything and telling you to destroy your opponents. Take this with you.”

“This is…?!”

Modi was the first to look surprised.

It was because the thing his father Thor gave him was something he hadn’t even thought of.

Megingjord.

It was Thor’s belt, which almost doubled the wearer’s strength.

My father is handing such things to himself!

“It is borrowed in any way. Modi, take this with you. You are born with the same temperament as me, but you are naturally weak.”

“thank you. father.”

“And Magni.”

“yes.”

“I will lend you a Gullfaxi.”

“Is that for real?”

Magni couldn’t help but be surprised there.

Gulpaksi.

It was his horse that Thor had obtained as a trophy when he defeated Hrungnir in the past.

It is said to be superior to Odin’s Sleipnir.

Truly, the famous horse of the world.

Deep down, after the battle with Hrungnir was over, it was a trophy he wanted to tell his father about, but Thor correctly grasped it.

These two artifacts were enough to ignite the two sons’ affection.

adversary.

If you think about it, it’s a simple thing.

No matter how strong he is, is he barely human?

Humans were weak scum, not even a Dark Elf, let alone a god. The reward for defeating him was simply sweet.

“I will go. Do you, Modi, go too?”

“Of course.”

Modi and Magni.

After the two gods greeted Thor, they headed for Bifrost.

It was the Rainbow Bridge guarded by Heimdall, and it was the only passage to Midgard.

two gods. Modi and Magni thought.

Soon as they arrive at Midgard, the world will become a sea of fire.

The two gods did not doubt this.
