I Became A Part Time Employee For Gods Chapter 157
#157. 100th child
“So? What happens when he gains the ‘power of devouring’?”
A sharp voice echoed in the darkness.
Tartarus.
In the deep darkness, Elia was staring straight into gloomy, huge eyes.
Tartarus laughed lowly.
[It’s not the power of predation, it’s the talent of predation.]
“Either that or that… Are you trying to play with me now? “Tell me clearly what you will do next.”
Tartarus let out a deep sigh at those words.
[Don’t be cocky, Elia. Just because you are favored by Lord Chaos does not mean that I also cherish you.]
At those words, Elia silently stared at Tartarus, the eyes of the abyss.
He is the primordial god located in the deepest part of the world and a god who exists in the very concept of space.
He was the faithful right-hand man of the Chaos Father, and although he belonged to a god forgotten by people, he was the only one with greater power than any of the incarnations.
‘It’s no good for me to bother you for no reason, but…’
Elia was frustrated in her own way.
Wasn’t the plan to quickly start a war of gods and then take advantage of the entire dimension being in chaos to eliminate the 12 guardians mentioned in the prophecy one by one?
If he did so, in the end, all worlds would be destroyed according to Father Chaos’s wishes.
The War of the Gods was only the trigger for a great destruction scenario and was not the goal itself.
But…
Elia’s brow furrowed.
“Yoo Dam-deok is still a high-ranking god, so isn’t it normal for him to be embarrassed in the war of gods?”
Her eyes looked straight at the huge eyes in front of her.
The images of gods fighting chaotically were reflected in the eyes.
The presence of Damdeok, a familiar two-block haired man who stood out among them, had already become too strong to be called a high-ranking god.
“Why isn’t that guy pushed at all…?”
Elia’s eyes narrowed further.
[This guy has already reached the level of the highest god. It is no wonder that he has clearly imprinted his presence on the gods of all dimensions.]
Elia bit her lip.
“…How did your strength increase so quickly? Wouldn’t it be a simple structure where the value of your name increases indefinitely just by catching the attention of all the gods? As expected… was it because of the Power of Predation that you were able to capture everyone’s attention?”
[You said it was a talent for predation. It’s not power. The two are completely different. And that’s a talent he’s had since the beginning.]
He doesn’t answer the question and just spins around.
Elia didn’t like the way Tartarus responded, but since it wasn’t a good idea to get on her nerves, she decided to move on.
“…So what exactly is it? “What on earth is the talent for predation?”
At those words, the huge eyes in the darkness blinked a couple of times.
Then he slowly let out a voice.
It was a truly shocking statement for Elia to hear.
[The talent of predation is exactly what it sounds like… the talent to eat gods.]
Elia took a breath.
“You say you can eat gods…?”
As her surprised eyes start to shake aimlessly, the world reflected in Tartarus’s eyes also begins to shake.
In that shaking world, the scene where Damdeok eats the forgotten gods who attack him was clearly shown.
Wow!
The sphere of light surrounding Damdeok opens like a huge mouth and
gulps!
It eats up the forgotten gods that rush at it in one bite.
It was a shocking scene.
Elia’s body trembled.
“That… does that make sense?!”
Tartarus just looked at her in silence.
[Why doesn’t it make sense? I just told you. The talent of predation is said to be the talent to eat gods.]
“But… But how… Wait, so that guy is now…?”
Elia’s eyes widened even more as if she realized something.
This time, Elia didn’t ask anything, but Tartarus spoke first.
[okay. That guy will now try to eat all the gods and become one huge god himself. Anyway, he’s a cocky kid.]
I expected it, but hearing it in person made Elia even more shocking.
“…you you. Now… Is now the time to smile carefree? Why didn’t my father know that? “If he had known, he would have made a prophecy.”
[Chaos knows everything about creation, but he cannot predict the actions of Goddess Gaia.]
“…Gaia gave Damdeok that talent as a gift?”
[Well, rather than thinking of it as a gift, it would be more accurate to say that it was kept hidden. As you know, isn’t Gaia the shameless goddess who stabbed Chaos in the back 1869 times? [Kkkeuk] Of course, Juso-yul found out everything in this life because of that stupid primordial child.]
Watching Tartarus laugh sinisterly, Elia bit her lip so hard that it bled.
The shameless goddess Gaia.
Chaos, the father of all things.
There was only one reason why I, who was not a forgotten god, believed and followed these sentences, which were no different from the formulas of forgotten gods, like the Bible.
“The first child is special.”
“I will give you the talent to remember all your memories.”
The voice of mother Gaia came to mind.
The sight of him looking at Jo Soo-yul and speaking warmer than ever.
Ju Ju-yul was the first child among the children of the beginning.
Thus, he was a child who monopolized his mother’s love.
Even when everyone was thrown into a scenario of destruction, Ju Ju-yul had the right to remember and control it all.
‘I was afraid…’
I was afraid and scared.
Because when I heard those words, I had vivid memories of my terrible death in my first life.
Watching the limbs of 99 children being torn off, torn apart, and burned to death one after another, the vivid hell that finally ended with her being swallowed alive by a black fireball….
Elia shook her head vigorously.
Without realizing it, my body was shaking.
But doesn’t that mean that we will have to repeat that terrible massacre dozens or hundreds of times in the future?
And without remembering anything.
Until someone kills Chaos.
Do you know when that will happen?
‘It’s too harsh.’
Elia thought her mother was irresponsible.
I thought it was truly hypocritical of them to say that humans were created to live in the arms of the gods, enjoying only peace, love, and prosperity, but that they were now sacrificing humans to atone for the world of the gods in danger.
So I asked my mother.
“What talent are you going to give us?”
I said this because I thought it was unfair to give special talents only to Ju Soo-yul.
Mother Gaia smiled softly at those words.
It was strange.
I loved that laugh so much in my previous life, but suddenly I hated it to the point of disgust.
“I’m the 100th child. This is my last child. “You are something special.”
Her mother’s voice was as warm as ever, but at that time, Elia felt her stomach twist.
It felt as if the black fireball that had engulfed me was raging deep within my heart.
At that time, Elia felt it for the first time.
That the Chaos Father is with him….
「I will give you all the talents you deserve. That is this mother’s last gift.”
Gaia began to give gifts of ‘talents’ to the children of the beginning according to Elia’s request.
“It’s the fourth child. You like colorful fireworks. “I will give you the talent for fire magic.”
“Wow! thank you. “Mother!”
Little Adele Sharon was so happy.
“It’s the 7th child. You are well versed in weapons. Among them… Yes! You love the sword. “ I will give you the talent for swordsmanship.”
“Wow, thank you! “Mother!”
Little White Cloud shouted as he accepted the shining sword.
Following them were Alui, who received wings, Ettin, who received a gigantic body, Cheontae, who received the talent of Pao Mugong, who received the talent of ruling, Cheongunak, who received the talent of the Namgungdook Shield, who received the talent of the axe, and so on.
Aren’t the children who were afraid of the future with the same expression on their faces just a moment ago all excited after accepting the talent Gaia gave them?
‘Idiots.’
Elia felt the black fireball inside her growing bigger.
How can there be such simple and stupid creatures?
It was so pitiful and pitiful that I just wanted to throw it away.
“You are the 99th child…”
Eventually, Gaia, who had distributed gifts to most of the children, stood in front of Damdeok and was speechless for a moment.
Little Damdeok looked straight at the goddess with bright eyes.
In little Damdeok’s hand, he held a grass blade sword that he had made himself.
“I like swords!”
little Damdeok shouted brightly.
But Gaia shook her head with a somewhat bitter expression.
“I’m sorry. Each person can only have one talent. “The talent for swordsmanship has already passed to the 7th child?”
From a distance, a little Baekureum could be seen holding a sword of light and swinging it beautifully.
Little Damdeok, who was staring at the scene, pouted his lips with a disappointed expression.
“Then give me wings so I can fly in the sky… so I can swing my sword beautifully.”
Gaia’s eyes turned to Alui, who was flapping her wings.
Damdeok’s gaze also moved along.
And then he grumbled with an expression as if he had lost the world.
“What’s this. Since I’m the 99th, I don’t have much talent to receive… I take all the good things from the front…”
Gaia smiled and hugged Damdeok warmly.
He whispered something in his ear and immediately held the ball of light in his arms, but Damdeok’s expression was not that bright.
Maybe it wasn’t the talent I wanted.
Elia was watching the scene right behind her.
‘It’s not fair. ‘The sooner a child is born, the better talents they have.’
I thought that if everyone was taken from the front, it would be unfair to the children like Damdeok and myself who were made last.
Mother Gaia stroked Damdeok’s head one last time and approached her.
The black fireball inside Elia roars! It burned.
“I have a different talent that I want to have.”
Gaia stared at Elia in surprise for a moment before speaking confidently. He smiled.
“You said your mother would erase our memories.”
“That’s right. “For all of you lovely people…”
Elia interrupted.
And I looked straight into my mother’s eyes.
“Give me that ability too.”
“What do you mean?”
“The ability to erase memories!”
Elia slowly reopened her closed eyes.
In the abyss of his eyes, I saw Juso-yul standing tall.
‘This is why you can’t remember me.’
A talent that allows one to erase one’s own memories from others.
okay. So Ju Ju-yul loses to himself.
She never remembers herself, but
‘because I can remember everything, including you.’
[Has the wet reminiscence ended? There is no time to procrastinate. We have to stop that little guy before he eats all the gods. If you leave it like that, it’s going to be quite a pain in the ass.]
Tartarus grinned and opened his huge eyes even further.
The screen that was showing Jo Soo-yul was reversed and Damdeok was shown.
Damdeok is launched towards the highest gods such as Zeus and Odin.
Elia opened her mouth with a stern expression.
“okay. let’s go. “Because I also want to end this awful reincarnation.”
