Chapter 328: Episode 62 – God’s Enemy (1)

[The Star Stream has confirmed the possibility of a new giant story.]

[The interpretation of old stories is possible!]

[The characters who appeared in the myth are reconstructed!]

[Based on past myths, Stage Transformation will occur.]

After seeing the indirect messages popping up one after another, the great dokkaebi ‘Noksu’ was silent. Originally, the 60th scenario Gigantomachia wasn’t relayed by the dokkaebis. They only had channel and airing rights while the actual progress was done by the sub-heroes of Olympus.

However, the situation had changed. There was an explosion on the screen and roars as the giants emerged from the ground.

-Where the hell did the giants appear from?

-The Underworld! What is going on in the Underworld?

-Shouldn’t they be trapped in the underground prison?

Now Gigantomachia was a completely different story.

“...Who will relay it?” Noksu turned and asked two advanced dokkaebi.

“I’ll do it.”

“No, I will.”

They were the director of the Korean branch Bihyung and the director of the Japanese branch Dokgak. The two gazes met and currents filled the air.

Dokgak exclaimed, “Great Dokkaebi! Bihyung can’t do this. He has been broadcasting Incarnation Kim Dokja for too long.”

“I’m familiar with him so I can broadcast it better. In addition, since when will you still call him incarnation? He is a constellation.”

On the screen, the incarnations of Kim Dokja’s Company were seen fighting the heroes. Their appearance of taking precise formations and releasing their status was reminiscent of glittering constellations centred on a single star.

The sound of chewing popcorn was heard from somewhere. [Very noisy. Do dokkaebis normally talk like this?]

The red wine in the glass was sucked into the man’s mouth. Then one of the heroes of Olympus died on the screen.

[The constellation ‘God of Wine and Ecstasy’ is cheering!]

[The constellation ‘God of Wine and Ecstasy’ has sponsored 3,000 cons to the ‘Demon King of Salvation.’]

At this absurd sight, Bihyung asked, “Aren’t you a member of Olympus? Can you be sitting her leisurely?”

[What do you know? I’m not really close to them. In addition, aren’t you the ones who said I can take a tour today?]

Like any cheerer on the street, Dionysus had a flag with his team on his back. The flag was covered with ‘Olympus is doomed.’

Dokgak’s eyes narrowed. “The 12 Gods of Olympus would’ve gathered at Olympus Temple by now.”

[I want Kim Dokja to win.]

“Huh?”

The dokkaebis were in an uproar from the remark that was like a bomb. Dionysus laughed heartily. [What are you so surprised? I can support anyone. In addition, you shouldn’t react like this. Don’t you only need a ‘fun’ scenario?]

It was true, making the dokkaebis frowned at the words. Dokgak opened his mouth. “The thing you are expecting won’t happen.”

Dokgak’s words caused Bihyung’s expression to darken. In fact, Kim Dokja’s Company fighting against Olympus was ridiculous. Breaking a rock with a quail egg had more of a chance than this. In addition, it overlapped with the Earth side.

Bihyung watched Gigantomachia with one eye while the other saw Yoo Jonghyuk running with Lee Sookyung on his back. At this moment, Dionysus opened his mouth again. [It is unknown if the story is a tragedy or a comedy until this is over.]

“...Isn’t it obvious? Gigantomachia is such a scenario.”

[Gigantomachia is just one of the many giant stories that Olympus had. You might belittle them as long as they’re not there but you can’t afford to overlook the lucky punch.]

“The probability of it happening is close to 0%.” action

[That probability will happen. Isn’t that why I’m here?]

Dionysus watched the screen while shoving popcorn in his mouth.

[The key is... how to make the ‘dizzy fish’ come out...]

***

More than half of the 12 Gods had gathered. They were in the form of symbolic objects that represented themselves. The first one to speak was a trident.

[The distinguished Lightning Throne didn’t come this time and... Dionysus is missing?]

[That’s correct.]

The waters around the temple boiled up like the sea was furious. Some symbolic bodies looked at each other nervously and the trident kept speaking,

[Then why did the giants wake up again?]

[It is a group that broke out from Tartarus.]

The one who answered with a constellation with the symbol of a pair of swords. The trident asked again, [Hades let them go?]

[It was said they performed the myth ritual.]

[The myth ritual? They must’ve sacrificed a great probability... did ‘Everybody’s Mother’ wake up?]

[No. It was the three Hecatoncheires brothers who moved.]

[All three of them went out?]

[It is Briareus alone. It is said he lost half his Hundred-Handers.]

[They were probably lacking probability for all three to leave.]

It was silent. Then the blazing sun spoke, [We can’t sit idly by. Kim Dokja’s Company? The small nebula is provoking us.]

[We need to severely punish them.]

Then a winged shoe with numerous data windows around it spoke. [It won’t be easy. Like the three chiefs, the master of the nebula has received the indication of the end ■■ hint.]

[...Is that true Hermes?]

[Yes.]

[Huh, it is funny. The master of the nebula is building a ‘story’ on the same level as the Lightning Throne?]

There was a stir in the group. ‘A Single Story’ was a sensitive topic for the 12 Gods. The constellations were all seeking the ultimate story. There was no one who wasn’t interested in the hint of the end. It was the trident who arranged things. [Quiet. Everyone is busy and there is a lot of work to do. We will start the vote.]

Everyone in the place fell silent. The reason why so many gods gathered was due to the 60th scenario.

[In response to the provocation of Kim Dokja’s Company, I, as chairman, am calling for the deployment of the story weapon.]

Then the voting began.

[The constellation ‘God of Marriage and the Home’ declares abstention.]

[The constellation ‘Organizer of Agriculture and the Seasons’ declares neutrality.]

[The constellation ‘Spokesman of Justice and Wisdom’ declares that we must withdraw the justice the humans don’t know about.]

[The constellation ‘Atrocious War God’ wants to fight the giants.]

[The constellation ‘Almighty Sun’ wants to burn a petty nebula.]

[The constellation ‘Volcanic Blacksmith’ wants to make a weapon to fight against the giants.]

[The constellation ‘Pure Hunter of the Moonlight’ rejects a meaningless war.]

[The constellation ‘Goddess of Love and Beauty’ says she will abstain from this superficial vote.]

[The constellation ‘Master of the Skywalk’ says the issue shouldn’t be approached so simple. The big data should be examined, the nature of the case reviewed and the patterns of the enraged giants...]

[Hermes, just say it.]

[The constellation ‘Master of the Skywalk’ is against the war.]

Several constellations were surprised by the declaration.

[You are a coward, Hermes.]

[He always goes against the will of the temple...]

Hermes didn’t say anything. Meanwhile, the result of the votes came up.

[Agree: 4 votes]

[Disagree: 2 votes]

[Abstain: 3 votes]

There was only one last vote left. Of course, it was the chairman’s vote.

[The constellation ‘Spear that Parts the Boundaries of the Sea’ is demanded the release of the weapon.]

[Agree: 5 votes]

[All seats have voted apart from the non-attendees.]

The gods nodded. [Apart from those who abstained, more than half are in favour and I am declaring the release of the ‘story weapon.’]

A hammering sound rang through the temple while an ominous foam rose from the sea. The direction of the foam was the theme park Gigantomachia where the giants were gathering.

[We need a commander to lead the weapons. The great-grade constellations will go together but they can’t deal with the giants alone.]

[Who will you send?]

[I will approve some gods to move. You will be in an incarnation body and I hope you assist them without hesitation.]

Then somebody raised their hand.

[I will go.]

***

After Achilles’ incarnation body collapsed, the incarnations fell into panic. Several incarnations fled when the saw the mountains of giants rising everywhere. In the chaos, several incarnations shouted, “Why are you doing this?”

“You! What the hell is this?”

The astonishment and resentment of the incarnations were soon directed towards me. I asked in return, “Why are you doing what? What did I do?”

“We missed the chance to get a star relic because of you!”

“It was a chance to get a story about catching a giant!”

“I was going to catch the eyes of the 12 Gods and join Olympus!” Now because of you...!”

Gigantomachia. With a participation fee of 100,000 coins, they got a chance to gain hidden pieces and if lucky, a piece of a giant story. That opportunity was now disappearing into a handful of dust in front of their eyes.

I watched the incarnations and wondered, “Do you really think that Gigantomachia is such a naive event?”

Perhaps they were right. There actually were incarnations and constellations who were strengthened through Gigantomachia. In addition, many of them likely became members of Olympus.

“Let’s say you join Olympus. Then what will you do?”

“What?”

“In a nebula already occupied by the 12 Gods and the ancient constellations, what can you do?”

Through Ways of Survival, I saw the words of countless incarnations who had joined Olympus. The incarnations were bound by unusual contracts and collected crude stories as they were used in the long-term for various scenarios.

“All the incarnations of last year’s Gigantomachia climbed to the top scenario! They...!”

“Are you talking about them?”

The people turned their heads in the direction I pointed. There were countless ships crossing the sea, including Argo. Among the ships’ passengers, the participants of last year’s Gigantomachia were also seen.

“W-Why are they...?”

Gigantomachia. The myths recorded it as a fight between the giants and the gods and heroes of Olympus. However, most incarnations weren’t aware of how the heroes who participated in the war were made.

[Many constellations are excited!]

The gods were afraid of the giants and mass-produced heroes from humans for Gigantomachia.

[The constellations of the nebula ‘Olympus’ are showing hostility towards you.]

Even after the end of Gigantomachia, it was unknown how many incarnations were being mobilized for this re-enactment war. It was a scenario that ate and produced itself, like a snake biting its own tail.

[A number of constellations have entered the channel!]

[A large number of constellations can’t hide their excitement for Gigantomachia!]

The constellations who hated the scenario, reached the end of the scenario and enjoyed the scenario. They desperately climbed the ladder of the scenario, mocked the incarnations and kicked the ladder towards the top. The victim of the tragedy became the subject of the tragedy.

I declared towards the horror-stricken incarnations. “I want to break the scenario.”
