The hidden secret about Ragnarok was very surprising. Pluto, who I thought was an enemy, was actually an ally. Jupiter, who I thought was an ally, was an enemy who concealed a terrible plot. Additionally, Gaia had the face of a different woman than I expected.
It was definitely a face I had seen somewhere before, but I didn't remember it exactly. The even more shocking thing was that my wife, who I firmly believed would be Gaia, was actually Pluto, the G.o.d of darkness and death. This came as a greater shock then when I found out that Kang Jaeseong was Neptune and Lee Geonmyeong was Jupiter. It felt like I had been stabbed in the back by a person I firmly believed wouldn't betray me.
“This is ridiculous...”
I couldn't look at the scenes that were emerging. In my mind, I was only thinking that the G.o.d of darkness and death had the same face as my wife Yoo Seonyeong. I looked up again. On the screen in front of me, Pluto and Jupiter were confronting each other in a psychological war. The two people were having a conversation in the sky without paying attention to the great war being waged below.
[Why are you doing this? Hyeyeon doesn't want you to do this. All her decisions were made for you.]
Hyeyeon? Who was Hyeyeon?
[Bah. Using this excuse to scatter my strength all over the world. I want to regain my original strength. Gaia, no, Hyeyeon is just afraid. Once I regain strength and reign over everyone, she will eventually give up and come back to me.]
It seemed that the woman who was Gaia was called Hyeyeon. Based on what Lee Geonmyeong was saying, it seemed she and Lee Geonmyeong had a very close relations.h.i.+p. No, didn't he say she was afraid?
[Why can't you understand Hyeyeon's deep heart that is thinking of you? She said that you won't be able to handle it if you have Gaia's power.]
[Bah, that is something I'll only know by looking. After making her strength mine, Hyeyeon won't be able to say anything any longer.]
[I guess words won't work. This is why you used Alexus? You want to use him as a vessel to regain your heavenly powers? Did you intend to take that power again after making him a constellation?]
[Hoh. It is amazing that you've figured out so much. You look pretty angry. Indeed, it was you who asked Hyeyeon to create Alexus.]
I kept hearing some amazing words. It wasn't Gaia, but Pluto, who created Alexus in this world. I seemed to know why Alexus took the form of my youth. My wife must've been lonely. Even after she died, she couldn't forget me in this world. Therefore, she asked Gaia to create an NPC who looked exactly like me. It wasn't surprising.
However, I had no time to continue my speculation. It was because someone intervened between the two of them. It was the king of Atlan, Weather Chef Alexus. He was now jumping into the sky by stepping on clouds.
[Alexus...]
[Pluto, step down! The power of death you have spread is putting the human world at risk!]
[I'm sorry, but I don't think I can do so. A bigger threat is coming.]
This led to the same scene Prometheus showed last time. However, it looked very different now that I was seeing it again after learning the situation. At this time, Gaia appeared, but her condition was a bit strange.
[Hyeyeon, what's wrong? Wake up!]
Gaia, who was also called Hyeyeon, attacked my wife with red eyes, like she was being controlled by something. Only Lee Geonmyeong was laughing as he watched. My wife discovered that this was something Lee Geonmyeong had done.
[What have you done to Hyeyeon... No!]
However, my wife's words were buried. Gaia immediately exuded power and suppressed my wife. Alexus took advantage of this to inflict a serious injury on her body.
[Cough!]
I bit my lip as I saw my wife coughing up blood in front of me. My hands had already been clasped in front of me for a long time. Then my wife grabbed the Pandora bead that was hanging like a necklace from her neck. She used a bit of strength and the Pandora bead started to crack.
[W-What are you doing? Stop it!]
The shocked Lee Geonmyeong had wide eyes and my wife smiled bitterly while glaring at Lee Geonmyeong. I couldn't figure out why Lee Geonmyeong was so shocked.
[I will seal Hyeyeon.]
[Hey, then you...!]
[I will just lose one of the powers I have. Even if the price is big, it can't be helped. I want to die as a human being. This is also what Hyeyeon asked me to do. She asked me to stop you...]
[So stupid!]
At the same time, Pandora was broken and scattered all over the world. It was spectacular, like black meteorites were being scattered across the world. Lee Geonmyeong stared up at the sky with a grim expression. My wife returned to the Underworld while cursing Alexus with death. It was a temporary method to prevent Lee Geonmyeong from taking the heavenly power from Alexus.
Finally, the truth about Alexus' death was revealed.
[You biiiiiiitch—!] Lee Geonmyeong shouted while a thunderbolt struck the place where my wife had been.
However, she had already returned to the Underworld. Alexus turned into a cold corpse and his soul went to the Underworld. Lee Geonmyeong looked at the place where my wife had fled. Just then, Gaia's sanity returned.
[This... Why am I here? It feels like my body is losing strength... Don't tell me, has the evil fruit been broken?]
Gaia slowly started to grasp the situation. Her omnipotence led her to grasp everything. She didn't even have to look through the past with her ability.
[Seeing that Seonyeong broke the evil fruit, you ended up showing your ambition as I expected.]
[No, Hyeyeon, this...]
[Honey.]
Honey...?
No way, the woman called Hyeyeon was Lee Geonmyeong's wife. It was only now that all the puzzle pieces fit together. However, one thing wasn't known yet. The first time I did the tutorial, she said she knew me. Of course, she might be familiar with me since Alexus had the face of my youth. Still, it didn't make sense that she had been waiting for me for a long time.
[I have to stop you. It is all for you.]
[No, Hyeyeon. Honey!]
[I'm sorry.]
Next was the scene where Gaia created the taboo on the human world. She spread a powerful taboo to prevent Lee Geonmyeong and the G.o.ds from entering the human world. This taboo was protected by the four seasons constellation in the east, west, north, and south. However, she was in a dilemma because Aiolos was dead. In the end, she had the remaining three constellations use their lives as a guarantee to protect the taboo.
They gained an imperfect power of immortality.
“......”
The rest was similar to what I knew. Gaia felt her power disappearing and completed the rest of the word. She scattered the fruits of good, the Star Fruits, around the world to prepare for an unforeseen situation. She sealed Prometheus into the Star Fruit I ate and left it to Kronos. After doing all of this, she came to a place that was familiar to me.
“Hesperides...?”
Why was she going here?
[Gaia, I greet you.]
The three sisters of Hesperides—Aegle, Erytheia, and Arethusa—bowed politely at the same time.
[Raise your heads. I'm here to make a request of you.]
The three sisters seemed bewildered for a moment, but eventually nodded as they listened to Gaia. They refused at first, but reluctantly agreed to Gaia's request. Gaia would seal her body here and she asked them to protect it. Anyone would've refused after suddenly receiving such a large request. Still, it was a request from Gaia, so they were finally forced to accept it.
[I'm not skilled enough, but I will do my best to protect you.]
[We will protect you Gaia!]
[Don't worry!]
At that time, the three sisters were still young. Gaia presented them with a dragon that never slept called Ladon. Her power was gradually fading so she regretted she couldn't give a more powerful dragon. Gaia's silver bell was a gift to help control Ladon. Gaia handed the three sisters the silver bell.
[Thank you, G.o.ddess.]
[I'll use it well.]
[Are there any other gifts?]
At Aegle's last pure question, Gaia simply laughed and stroked her head. Aegle was scolded by Erytheia and Arethusa to not be rude or to ask dumb questions. Aegle puffed up her cheeks as she pouted. Gaia just smiled and headed somewhere. The surrounding land was full of vitality and was a very cosy place to sleep. She finally decided where she would fall asleep.
Then after setting up Ladon around her to guard her, she asked the three sisters to not reveal to anyone that she was sleeping here. The three sisters naturally nodded.
“Don't tell me...” I got gooseb.u.mps all over my body. The moment Gaia closed her eyes, I saw her turn her body into a tree. It was because something I saw in Hesperides came to mind.
“The golden apple tree...!”
Gaia finally became a large apple tree, like she lost her vitality. Gaia, who became a tree, produced golden apples. I couldn't close my mouth, which was wide open from surprise.
“I didn't expect a secret like this...”
Just then, what was presumed to be Gaia's soul ascended to the sky. There was no way for me to know what happened to the soul. Finally, the video ended.
“......”
I was so stunned that I was speechless. The saying that sometimes you blanked out when going through something shocking seemed to be true.
“It is time to go,” the unidentified man spoke to me.
My mind returned and I realized I was still on the boat. It was time to go? “Where are you going to take me?”
“The land of the dead.”
The moment he spoke, a dark portal suddenly opened in front of my eyes. The turbid energy that overflowed from it made me frown.
“Pluto is waiting for you.”
“......!”
“Would you like to go meet Pluto?”
I nodded without hesitation.
