C313

Thud-!

Uranus's body was torn apart.

It definitely looked that way.

Crack!

Uranus, transformed into a golden lightning, extended his hand.

The situation became increasingly eerie, as if his head was about to separate from his body. In an instant, Odin stepped back under Uranus's overwhelming force.

And at that moment...

Swish!

Uranus's eyes turned in another direction.

Pop!

Odin, who retreated while retrieving the spear he had thrown, looked at Uranus.

A brief hesitation.

It wasn't the first time. Although it was a short fight, Uranus was aware of different directions several times.

And it wasn't hard to know which direction he had focused on.

"Is it him?"

Kim YuWon.

It was the first time he saw him today. He suddenly appeared and predicted Ponto's death, then confirmed Uranus's whereabouts.

At first, he had doubts.

He wondered if it was one of Uranus's tricks.

But now those doubts quickly vanished.

"There were several dangerous moments."

This was the first case.

Since he began climbing the Tower and became a High-Ranker, Odin had barely found his match.

He founded Asgard and became the king of a country.

Until now, he had never faced such a high wall.

"You've truly become a monster."

Odin thought he was just prey for Uranus.

He felt like a weakling standing in front of a fierce beast. No, he definitely couldn't get close to Uranus.

Nevertheless, the fight was intense.

It was due to Uranus's vigilance towards the other direction.

"If attention is diverted elsewhere-."

Hum, hum, hum.

The interior of Tartarus momentarily lit up.

Uranus's gaze, which had turned away to another side, finally returned to its original position.

But now his surroundings were filled with dozens of magic symbols.

"It's only natural that the field of vision narrows."

Giiiiing.

Uranus's body twisted in response to Odin's gesture.

Along with space, his body began to distort.

The magic Odin had prepared since the beginning of the fight was an ability that distorted space and shattered the opponent's body.

No matter who the opponent was, no matter how strong.

That didn't matter.

"There's no organism that can split into a hundred or a thousand pieces and still survive."

Crack, crack, crack.

The distortion in Uranus's body became increasingly intense.

Trapped in his restricted movements, Uranus resisted the force contained in the dozens of magic symbols solely with the power of his body.

And at that moment...

Shh!

Uranus's gaze turned once again to YuWon.

"You still dare..."

He knew his opponent was strong.

But even though that was the case, he couldn't bear being so ignored.

Pah!

Odin rushed towards Uranus, holding his spear upside down.

The spear imbued with Arcane Power struck Uranus's head.

Uranus, whose body writhed under the power of the numerous magic symbols, couldn't change shape quickly as he did before and escape.

This time, finally.

That was the moment when Odin had full confidence.

Kong!

Uranus tightly gripped Odin's spear.

His body defied gravity and moved freely.

A knee entered Odin's line of sight.

Crack!

"..."

Uranus's knee struck Odin's face, sending him flying. At that moment, Odin stopped, not understanding what had happened.

Tohwak!

Odin, who had been thrown, quickly regained his balance.

He fixed his twisted nose with his hand. Uranus, once again, was looking in another direction.

"Why do you keep looking at that?"

"The real danger is over there."

Swoosh~

Yu Won, with his eyes ablaze, was standing. Instead of at Uranus, he was looking at the Giants in the cage.

Odin realized from his response what Uranus was suspicious of.

"Is he worried that the Giants will be freed?"

But how?

"You shall not pass."

Odin stood in Uranus's path as he lunged toward YuWon.

A golden lightning erupted from Uranus's fist. His fist extended toward Odin's chest.

Twack!

Giik-!

Odin's body was pushed back.

But Odin's defense did not collapse with that single blow.

Ung-.

A blue magical armor surrounded him.

And on that armor, there were dozens of runes (symbols) engraved.

The armor's defenses were bolstered by a series of enchantments. Odin crossed his arms, molding his body into a solid shield.

It was a determination not to allow anyone to pass.

Tick-

Then, the sound of a clock was heard near Uranus's ear.

Zii-iik-.

His feet took a step backward on their own accord. It wasn't as if his body was being controlled, but rather as if the steps he had taken forward were being reversed.

He didn't have to think about who had done it.

[Time Reversal]

The ability to invert time within a certain space.

It was an ability that only Chronos could use, which could do anything except bring the dead back to life.

Ziiiik-.

Another step.

Uranus's body barely moved. Although Chronos could turn a person into a baby in an instant if he wished, time wasn't fair to everyone.

Uranus's time had an even greater power. Chronos was exerting a considerable amount of Arcane Power to reverse a single step of Uranus.

And amidst that...

Swish-.

YuWon's hand reached the bars.

["The King of the Dead meets the wall"]

["The King of the Dead rejects the wall"]

["The King of the Dead..."]

The title kept resounding.

It was as if it had its own will, urging YuWon to break the bars in front of him.

'It's not just a simple title.'

The King of the Dead.

At first, he thought it was just one of the many titles known in the world, a name that referred to a title.

But since he arrived in Tartarus and stood in front of the bars, he knew it wasn't like that.

King.

It was a position and title held by someone.

The King of the Dead was not just one of the many titles known in the world; it was the title with which 'someone' had been called in life. In other words, that person definitely existed and had been alive.

And it continued speaking.

Telling him to break the wall in front of him.

To destroy it and free his poor and wretched people trapped inside.

'This title has the power to do it.'

Now that he had grasped the bars of the cage containing the Olympos Traitors.

YuWon felt as if everything in the world, except himself, had stopped.

The King of the Dead whispered.

Destroy this wall quickly.

He already had it in mind. It was not appropriate for them to fight each other while facing a monster like Uranus.

Cr-crack-.

The energy forming the bars began to disperse.

As the wall, as strong as steel and never breaking, began to crumble, the Giants who watched the scene in awe shouted for joy.

-The bars are breaking!

-Now we can get out!

-Keep going, Human!

It was a deafening cheer from Giants who had long yearned for the outside world, but it didn't reach YuWon's ears.

At that moment...

YuWon was in a completely different world from theirs.

'I wondered why it kept reacting like this...'

The moment YuWon grasped the bars, he realized.

Why the King of the Dead had been reacting since he arrived in Tartarus.

Why the souls of Tartarus worshipped him like a king from the start.

It wasn't merely because of the title's effects.

The King of the Dead had the power to rule over the dead, but the dead worshipped YuWon solely of their own volition.

There was a reason.

The reason was one.

The owner of this title.

Crack-.

YuWon's hand holding the bars filled with strength.

Now he could be certain.

King of the Dead.

What was the name of that king?

'Tartarus.'
