Side Story Chapter 58 – Wedding Ceremony of Blood (3)

It wasn’t just Baal and Metatron who were shocked. Bustle, bustle. Clamor, clamor. The wedding ceremony instantly turned into chaos.

“W-What’s this?”

“What’s going on?”

“Exactly. That’s what I want to ask.”

Jörmungandr had a dumbfounded expression. He’d had a feeling Fenrir might be up to something since he hadn’t seen him in a while…but to think he’d create this big a problem! Jörmungandr wanted to hide in a hole. He also wanted to shut his ears, but his damned perception senses didn’t miss what the guests were muttering among themselves.

“Huh! Disrupting an event of Arthia and the One-horned tribe! What are they thinking?’

‘They’re probably not thinking at all.’

“But isn’t that Agares and Fenrir?”

‘Please don’t recognize them…’

“They’re not just anyone, but they’re well-known transcendents…! Was there some secret negotiation we don’t know about with this wedding and Arthia and the One-horned? Something that could potentially affect the entire Tower…?”

‘They’re just fools who don’t think…’

The murmuring guests were starting to make conspiracies now. Jörmungandr wanted to go and answer each of the guests’ questions, but he didn’t have the mind to.

『So cool…!』

Just then, Jörmungandr heard a crazy statement. He spun to the side, and Hel’s eyes were sparkling as she clasped her hands together. She looked like a young girl who was looking at some beautiful story in a fairy tale.

Jörmungandr’s face crumpled.『What do you mean ‘cool?!’』

『That resistance against fate! Strong determination to get one’s love back! How could I not be touched?』

『What kind of bullshit is that?!』

Hel blinked at Jörmungandr’s shout.『You mean, dog, not bull? Oldest brother is a dog.』

『…You mean wolf! Anyway, he’s just making a scene for the fun of it!』

It was obvious based on how Fenrir’s tail was spinning like a propeller. Fenrir was just enjoying causing a fuss. He was receiving attention, and he could also receive Yeon-woo’s attention… Fenrir was as much of an attention-seeker as Hel. Perhaps it was a sibling trait.

‘Niflheim will be ruined at this rate! I somehow need to get my troublemaker brother out of there.’ Once again, the idea that Jörmungandr needed to end this situation strongly occurred to him. However, because Fenrir had been resolved to create a mess, Jörmungandr had no way of stopping him. In terms of brute strength, Fenrir was the greatest in their society. Still, there was one person who could stop Fenrir. It was the prince of Niflheim, and the father of the siblings, Loki…

『Hahaha! As expected of my son! Yes! I was worried that it might end only being boring like this!』However, Loki was keeling over in laughter. He was chewing on a piece of calamari, and his legs were outstretched hanging on the chair in front of him. He clearly did not have any intention of stepping up and stopping this situation.

‘Fuck.’ Jörmungandr was flabbergasted ‘We’re done for. We’re all done for. Our society will be destroyed soon… Destroyed… Ha, hahaha…’

While Jörmungandr laughed in disbelief, having given up…

“What do you want me to do?” Yeon-woo crumpled his face and glared at Agares and Fenrir. He was smiling widely at how pretty Edora was, but the two had come and ruined it. He wanted to kick them far away, but he stopped himself since today was a special day. He didn’t want to create greater chaos either. Still, he glared at them in annoyance.

Of course, neither Agares nor Fenrir seemed afraid of Yeon-woo in the slightest.

“Duh! I object! To this marriage!”

Woof! Woof woof!

Agares put his hand on his hips and bellowed. He seemed to be trying to make a threatening face, but there was a limit to how scary and dignified he could look as a little child. The same went with Fenrir, who was in his puppy form. Why was his tail wagging so excitedly…?

“Exactly, why?”

“Just cause! I’m just objecting!”

Woof woof woof!

Fenrir nodded in agreement. Yeon-woo opened his Fiery Golden Eyes and narrowed his eyes at the two. As he did, he could read Fenrir’s mind.

If he gets married, he can’t play with me! So of course I should object!

“…” Yeon-woo looked at them in disbelief. Agares’ thoughts probably weren’t too different from Fenrir’s either.

‘Causing a fuss at my wedding just so they can play with me, those ruffians… I should just send them flying away.’ It was Yeon-woo’s fault for thinking perhaps there was a legitimate reason. Yeon-woo lifted his long sleeves up and pulled out his right hand, thinking it would be best to just get rid of them.

“Damn it! Puppy! Careful! It seems that punk is trying to censor the media!”

Woof!

Agares and Fenrir attempted to escape, sensing their failure at how Yeon-woo was coming out. They weren’t quick to catch on, unfortunately.

“…I’ll show you what it really means to censor the media.” Yeon-woo glowered.

But just then, Baal appeared behind Agares and snatched his collar. “Stop, you crazy bastards! This is so embarrassing!”

“Baal! What are you doing! Let go!”

“What’s everyone in L’Infernal doing! Hurry and get rid of this damned bastard!” Baal ignored Agares’ resistance and tossed him to where the demon kings of L’Infernal were.

“Let… Uuumph! Urmrrmrh!” Agares kicked and struggled, but the demon kings quickly tied Agares up and gagged him, then left in a hurry. Even the demon kings, who were confident in how brazen they were, were so embarrassed at this situation that they quickly wanted to get out of here.

The same went with Niflheim.

Woof! Grrrrr.

Fenrir, who attempted to quickly escape outside of the wall, was faced by a barricade created by Jörmungandr and his subordinates… No, it was a barricade of demons. They looked hilarious, each of them holding a butterfly net or dog chew toy in their hands. However, their faces were more grave than ever. A few of them swallowed in nervousness.

Fenrir growled at them to get out of the way. He looked adorable in a way, but Jörmungandr’s face was nothing but one of annoyance.

『Go get that son of a… I mean, that dog of a brother here.』

『Yes, sir!』

『Will do!』

Woof! Woof!

『And make that damned barking stop! Why the heck is he keeping up that concept and not talking?』

Fenrir and the demons clashed. Crash, rumble!

“…” Seeing the scene, Yeon-woo let his sleeves back down again. Then, he pressed his throbbing temples.

* * *

“…What’s going on?”

“What a shitshow.”

“I have no idea what’s going on.”

While Agares and Fenrir’s rebellion was quickly suppressed, the guests all looked dumbstruck or confused. Based on what they saw, the conspiracies that were brought up seemed to be wrong.

『All right, ladies and gentlemen! Please focus over here again! There was a small problem, but it has successfully been suppressed! The wedding will begin again!』

The guests tiled their heads, but they focused on the wedding again under Laplace’s guidance. Something was definitely strange, but this was an event of the One-horned tribe anyway. Considering their peculiarity, this was nothing.

Moreover, the eldest couple here, Kronos and Rhea, and the Martial King and Psychic Medium were busy laughing. They didn’t seem too concerned.

『All right, then we will now begin the bowing of the groom and bride…!』

Laplace moved the mic to his mouth and was about to continue with the ceremony, when something suddenly flashed from the guests’ seats. Fwoosh! Slice! And before he could finish, his entire body was split in half. Black shadows spurted out like blood. It was such a sudden occurrence that the guests thought they were all seeing things for a moment.

“Kyaaak!”

“What is it this time…?!”

“It’s an attack! It’s an attack!”

With the shouts of those who quickly recollected their bearings, another flash of light fell above the guests. Heimdall, Thor, Frigg, Týr… They were the gods of Asgard.

“Everyone.” Odin sat alone, legs-crossed, in the section where all the gods of Asgard had been sitting. “Kill them all. Every single one of them.”

[Asgard’s divine punishment has commenced!]

Kraaaa! Crash, rumble! Kra kra kra! The aura that spread from Odin became a storm and instantly covered the garden and the palace. An eerie cry rang in the air, and lightning poured down between the powerful winds.

Odin’s domain was a rainstorm of death. Its level of destructiveness couldn’t be put in words.

“I had my doubts, but you really…!” Baal paused from taking care of Agares and widened his eyes at the pandemonium Odin caused.

What Agares had done could be reduced to a thoughtless accident, but Odin and Asgard’s actions were the very opposite of that. It was a declaration of war on Arthia and the One-horned tribe, and it was tarnishing the reputation of Malach, L’Infernal, and countless other societies. Asgard was declaring war on the entire heavenly world!

『Demons of L’Infernal!』Baal’s voice was angrier than ever. Demonic energy echoed as he spoke in his true voice. His bellow rang loud and clear in the sky.

All the demon kings looked up. At that moment, even the struggling Agares looked up at Baal unblinking and obediently. A command from their leader Baal was absolute. So even if Agares had caused much trouble in the past, he never evaded his duties.

『Daring to create a mess in a location where we are present is a mockery of L’Infernal!』Baal’s eyes flashed murderously.『Tear apart the gods of Asgard.』

『Yes, sir!』

『Yes, sir!』

Paat! Whoosh! The demon kings dashed forward toward the gods of Asgard, and Agares returned to his original form, unfurling his tens of pairs of black wings.

『You dare attempt to touch me?』Agares’ eyes flashed dangerously.

[Agrares’ power, Wicked Evil, is revealed!]

『I’ll do more than tear you apart. I’ll rip you to shreds.』

Ooooo. With Agares at the lead, the demons of L’Infernal followed closely after the gods of Asgard and began their attack. Pow pow pow.

“Archangels of Malach, assist L’Infernal!”

On Metatron’s command, Michael and the other archangels quickly got to action. However, unlike Baal, who was blinded by hury, Metatron’s eyes were silent as the sea. ‘Something is strange. I don’t feel any will from the eyes of the gods of Asgard.’

Although Odin was arrogant, it didn’t make sense that he was acting out so recklessly. Crash! Regardless, the chaos became bigger. The palace quaked as if it would fall any moment.

“Haha. Shall we leave now?” Leo slowly stood up from where he was with his subordinates and began to walk through the storm. Slowly, like he was out for a stroll. Step, step…
