Wheeee…
A stillness that sweeps the hair away.
In the middle of it all was the figure of Zeus, covered in an unidentifiable eye glow.
“You have a very useful ability. I got to see something good without intending to.”
A voice that is sharp yet has a sense of depth.
It was so different from just a little while ago.
Jjiiiii…
Sizzle.
The guy moved his arm.
Then he slowly pulled his body out from the long spear that pierced both his arms and his side.
Even though the pain must have been immense, his expression did not change at all.
“Phew.”
All that remained were three blood-stained spears.
The bastard’s arms and sides were ragged and torn open, but somehow no blood was gushing out.
“Shipment.”
Wedge!
He immediately sent out a new spear.
The Holy Spear, strengthened to level 5, aimed for the bastard’s heart, but…
Teeing!
It didn’t pierce his skin and just bounced off to the side.
“…You’ve moved up the ranks in the meantime?”
There was no other way to explain it.
Because until just a moment ago, it was a weapon that could easily cook that guy.
He opened his mouth, not caring about the attack that had come flying at him.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Zeus.”
A brief introduction.
But at the same time, it was an unpredictable introduction.
When I didn’t respond, Zeus continued speaking, his blue eyes blinking.
“I must tell you that I am a little different from the owner of this body. I am Zeus, a direct fourth-generation descendant of the main line. Do you understand now?”
“…I have no idea. Then what were they?”
After locking eyes with Zeus, I looked at the gods of Olympus scattered in the distance.
Then Zeus, who was looking around as well, answered with a subtle smile.
“That is… They are the members of Olympus scattered widely across multiple dimensions. We are serious about procreating our descendants.”
Although I still couldn’t figure it out, two things were certain.
‘Olympus’ is a complicated dog pedigree.
And that there will be thousands and tens of thousands of Zeuses in this universe.
For now, I decided to be cautious.
Zeus, the fourth-generation direct descendant who entered the world through the body of a collateral Zeus.
Because we still don’t know what abilities these hamsters have.
“Hmm…”
Zeus, who had been staring blankly at me, Yongsu Lee, and Lydia, opened his mouth.
“That guy pulls a chariot, so Helios would be a good choice… and that spicy woman would be Athena. What do you think? How about becoming a part of our Olympus? It’s a good job with a family-like atmosphere.”
Olympus wanted us.
Like the Awakened of Southern Europe, they intended to create another nth Olympus.
If I borrowed that power, I might be able to control the power of the gods, such as calling down lightning from the sky and splitting the seas…
“I’m sorry, but if it’s a family business, we’ve already done that. The genealogy is much neater than yours.”
There was no reason to borrow strength.
Because we had already crushed Olympus with the power of Pax FC.
After hearing the answer, Zeus scratched his head with his shaky arm.
“…Ugh. You don’t know the difference between cultures. But I can’t give up like this.”
“What are you going to do? Are you going to have a go at it?”
“Unfortunately, that’s not the situation. Right now, I’m just borrowing the microphone. But… there’s a way.”
Zeus quietly stretched out his hand.
And the result…
[You have entered the realm of Olympus.] [The realm effect, ‘Prometheus’s Chains’ is strengthened.]
“…!?”
Kkarduduk!
My feet, heavy as if carrying a weight of hundreds of kilograms, dug into the ground firmly.
The chains that only felt heavy.
But after being strengthened by that bastard, I became completely unable to move.
And that wasn’t all.
The space in front of my eyes was distorted vertically, and a red wavelength rose from the center of it.
And the result…
“Gate Portal…?”
A passageway for the monster wave that would follow soon.
The red gate appeared right before my eyes.
When our eyes met, Zeus grumbled.
“Why are you so surprised? I didn’t make it. I just slipped in a little bit of money.”
The 200 portals the Chamber of Commerce was supposed to create on Earth.
One of them was born before my eyes by Zeus’ manipulation.
Support support support…
Bam!
Coincidentally, the moment announced by the Chamber of Commerce was approaching.
A bright red gate that looked like it might burst at any moment.
Zeus, ticking away at that moment, spoke with his arms hanging down.
“Think slowly about whether or not you want to become a child of Olympus. If you just stand still and block the waves, your thoughts will change.”
I couldn’t move an inch.
It was impossible to escape using a subspace portal.
Even though I could easily deal with the Zerglings that would rush in right away, I had no idea how much the wave’s difficulty would increase over time.
‘But more than that… I’m not the problem.’
There was a bigger problem.
Monster Gates would start simultaneously in Korea, Japan, China, the United States, Europe, and other places.
I came prepared, but the time would soon come when I would need support.
“Well, if you change your mind, just tell me anytime.”
Zeus waved his tattered arms and walked away.
Then, he gathered the gods of Olympus who were lying on the floor in a faint and covered them with a silvery curtain that looked like a cloud.
Even amidst the wave that was about to come, it seemed like he was trying to protect his own franchise.
“Mr. Jeong-gyeom!”
Yongsu Lee, who had taken the life of the Minotaur, came toward me, showing his wit even with both feet tied.
Then, conscious of Zeus and the powers of Olympus far away, he stammered and conveyed his voice to me.
“Mr. Jeong-gyeom, I will take care of that guy. Then the shackles will definitely…”
“No, but this won’t work. You can’t kill him in the first place.”
Even though he was just a microphone, Zeus couldn’t be killed even with a level 5 spear.
It was an impossible situation to catch Lee Yong-soo as a long-term target.
Moreover, he was not the cause of the chains.
The temples of Olympus were spread all over the area.
Because the ‘realm of Olympus’ formed in that way was putting chains on me.
“In the end, there are only two ways.”

Destroying all the temples that form the ‘Realm of Olympus.’
Or, as Zeus said, becoming a member of Olympus.
But my feet were tied tightly as I went about destroying temples, and it was also unreasonable to suddenly come under the command of Olympus.
“Then what should we do?”
Lee Yong-soo, with his head sticking out of the giant, looks at me, who has become a stone statue, with concern.
But unfortunately, there was no time to ease his worries.
“Get ready. Here we come.”
Because the red gate portal started spewing out monsters.
The third free pioneering period was the beginning of the monster wave.
Kagakak!
Kagagagagak!
A makeshift formation where Lee Yong-soo’s Gigant surrounds my rear.
A thousand Zerglings surged forward endlessly.
Kwaaaaang!
Doo doo doo doo!
They fired dozens, hundreds of enhanced Hellfire missiles at the approaching enemies.
Lee Yong-soo and Lydia finished off the ones who occasionally escaped with rifles.
Not a very difficult opponent.
Of course, it couldn’t end there.
Because this was just a tutorial.
“It keeps coming out…”
Lee Yong-soo said as if he was tired, and Lydia also held her forehead.
As soon as the wave consisting of Zerglings ended, waves one, two, and three followed in succession.
Goblins, orcs, and trolls.
Likewise, the monsters that filled the thousand followed in that order, and it was clear that the level of the enemies gradually increased with each successive stage.
Phew!
There was no real danger until the Holy Spear pierced the neck of the last remaining troll.
I was just concerned about Zeus, who was watching us with a faint smile.
I was confident that I could somehow block the fifth, sixth, or even tenth wave that came, but the real problem wasn’t us.
“…Is Korea okay?”
Yong-soo Lee asked worriedly, and Lydia also had a concerned expression.
Of course, there would be a monster wave in Yongsan as well as Prague.
“…I hope so.”
There hasn’t been any news from the family yet.
A situation where no news couldn’t be accepted as good news.
In many ways, it was necessary to settle the matter with Olympus as quickly as possible.
“Still, we will meet soon.”
We waited cautiously for the fourth wave, encouraging the anxious Lee Yong-soo and Lydia.
“It’s strange. This break feels particularly long…”
So, as the strange silence passed.
Finally, with the start of the fourth wave, a new type of monster appeared.
However, the situation was different from when they used to come in groups of a thousand each time.
Kuung.
Thud.
“…One?”
There was only one.
An ogre with a huge body that walked while making the earth shake.
The bastard’s entire body was covered in thick iron plates like scales.
We shuddered in absurdity.
“…There’s even a boss stage?”
Woooooooooooooooooo-!
A steel-clad ogre lunged at us, roaring.
Kaaaaah!
Teeing!
Yong-soo Lee’s Gigant blocked the bastard’s fist in a hurry, and Gigant’s two arms, unable to withstand the impact, bounced off the armor.
Crunch! Crunch!
A tense standoff.
But the balance was clearly tilted toward the ogre.
Lee Yong-soo said urgently.
“There’s no time, Mr. Jeonggyeom. At this level, even the turrets installed in Yongsan could be blown away easily.”
It was highly unlikely that an ogre would appear here alone.
Since the monster waves were occurring simultaneously, conflicts must have broken out in other groups under Pax FC by now.
Even if it wasn’t until the third wave, it was clear that many regions were starting to face a crisis.
Little by little, just as my mouth was starting to dry…
“Thank you for waiting so long, my lord.”
The ghosts of Camelot, who had been sent on a long journey, finally returned to me.
Because I had told them to find the temples of Olympus.
“Did you find it?”
“I found everything. The last temple was hidden in a cave. That took quite some time.”
“Okay.”
A situation where worries were finally gone.
I launched an H-beam at an ogre that was deflecting lances with its steel scales.
Kyaang!
Kyaaang!
Kaaaaaaang!
One, three, nine or more.
I recovered the fallen steel beams again with <Product Recovery> and crushed the steel-clad ogre until it was in shambles.
Kuuuu…
Dozens of chunks of iron piled up like a collapsed construction site.
Beneath it lay a huge ogre, cold and dead.
Clap clap.
There was applause.
Zeus witnessed all this.
He came up to us and spoke in an admiring voice.
“…There is no such thing as a walking armory. I guess I’ll have to change the conditions.”
Then he spread his still-tattered arms wide.
“Just becoming a member is not enough. I will place you in the direct lineage of the main family… How about becoming my son?”
“I told you I don’t do that.”
An adoption proposal that was both shocking and unexpected.
At my firm refusal, Zeus asked as if he couldn’t understand.
“Why are you being so stubborn? You can’t escape from here anyway. The wave will continue, and even if it’s you, you’ll die someday. Compared to that, wouldn’t it be a hundred times better to join the Olympus family and enjoy a long life?”
It was just as he said.
I couldn’t get out of here, and the waves would only bring stronger monsters.
But that was only as long as my feet were tied.
“The delivery has just started.”
Jeeeeing!
Eight portals opened behind me.
From there, over a hundred undead gargoyles flew up.
“…That?”
Zeus frowned.
Because each of the gargoyles had a ‘Hellfire’ missile in its hand.
The knights who became ghosts had been checking out all the temples of Olympus hidden everywhere.
They planned to blow up dozens of temples at once before Zeus could mount a defense.
“…No!”
Only then did Zeus realize the situation and erect a cloud wall to block the gargoyles’ path, but…
Suddenly.
Splash.
The hundreds of gargoyles leisurely avoided the path and spread out toward the places where the temples were built.
And before long…
Pfft!
Pfft!
Far away, flames rose into the sky.
As bombs were dropped and temples disappeared one by one, the chains that bound my feet loosened, and Zeus’ blue eyes also gradually dimmed.
The words “Olympus Realm” disappeared from the status window, and the fallen Southern European Awakened slowly exhaled the Olympus energy that surrounded them.
Zeus, whose body was now beginning to stagger and sway.
He spoke to me with the last of his strength as if he was about to disappear.
“That’s too bad. I’ll definitely come to pick you up next time.”
Kwaaaaang!
Whether or not, flames rose all around.
Dozens of pillars of fire erupted across the abnormally grown Himalayan mountain range, creating black clouds of dust.
Zeus looked up at the sky with eyes that looked like they would go out like an old fluorescent light bulb.
He looked at the raging flames rising from beneath the ground and muttered softly.
“…I see. So you were Prometheus.”
“I won’t do that…”
Slap.
Zeus fell.
Charruk!
The chains that had been holding my feet also disappeared without a trace.
“Let’s go right away.”
I immediately called Lee Yong-soo and Lydia over.
Now it was time to go meet the family who had faced the waves of monsters.
