The Birth of the 9th Circle Wizard

Hera looked at the two with an expression of what was going on.

“I have something urgent to tell you… .”

Hee-joo's breathing was disturbed.

He was out of breath as he hurriedly ran down the hallway.

“What’s going on?”

After a brief moment of thought, Hee-ju was about to say something, and Soon-won

intervened

“A certain man is dead in Aphrodite’s room.”

Hee-ju looked at Soon-won with a surprised expression. Surprisingly, Hera was the same.

“Who is dead?”

"I do not know. Aphrodite sent me an errand and went to the kitchen for a while. Where did Aphrodite go and what man… .”

“Go ahead.”

Hera with two men Aphrodite

headed to the room.

Athena, the god of wisdom, had already arrived there.

"Athena?"

Hera approached her with her surprised expression.

“Aphrodite… .”

"Shh!"

Hera looked at Soon-won and Hee-ju and put her index finger to her lips to tell Athena to shut up.

As for the original appearance of the Olympian gods, it was a secret.

“Oh, sorry… .”

“Go, you two, and call the other Olympian gods.”

"all right."

Soon-won and Hee-ju left the room.

Hera confirmed that the two had moved away and found Aphrodite's body.

“What do you think?”

Hera asked Athena.

Athena found Aphrodite's head and bloodstains.

“I think I fell and hit my head.”

“Maybe yourself?”

"I think so."

“You idiot. That's why you lose some weight,

Hera clicked her tongue.

It was only two hours, but when she returned to her original form, Aphrodite was very obese and was suffering from diabetes.

“To lose Aphrodite like this… .”

When Athena felt sorry for her, Hera burst into laughter.

“It was rather good. A new Aphrodite will be born. Speaking of words, Aphrodite, goddess of beauty

Isn't it funny that he is such an obese man? I don't know who's choosing, but if she's going to choose, she's got to choose a woman, why did she choose a man?"

Athena had a sad expression on her face.

“You were nice though.”

“It’s good, you bastard. If Zeus is the incarnation of sexual desire, then this guy has a lot of sex drive, appetite, and sleep, so he slept 12 hours a day and missed meetings every time.”

Then Soon-won and Hee-ju returned.

Behind them were Zeus and Ares.

"Huh? Why are you two alone?”

Ares answered Hera's question.

“Everyone is dead.”

♦ ♦ ♦The Temple of Olympus was closed.

All doors and windows were closed to prevent anyone from entering or leaving.

Since the building was also used as a fortress when the army invaded, the only thing that could not be opened unless Hera opened it was water once it was closed.

“Ares, you are guarding the entrance.

uh."

Ares frowned at Hera's command.

“You must catch the culprit!”

“So, if you guard the entrance, the criminal cannot escape.”

“Off.”

Ares grumbled and went to the porch, and Hera looked at Zeus and Athena.

“It’s absurd. Eight of our gods die in an instant.”

“Someone who knows that we return to our

It happened.”

Athena said.

“Yes, Athena, you are the goddess of wisdom. Do you think you know who the culprit is?”

“I don’t know yet, but I think I can figure it out.”

"how?"

“I'm going to have a personal interview with everyone who works here. You have to figure out your alibi and your movement first.”

“You mean no outsider intrusion?”

"for now."

Hera delegated all power to Athena.

all.

“We will do our best to catch the culprit. I'll look outside."

"Out?"

“Are you one or two kids who see us as thorns in their eyes? Let's see what the reaction is outside now."

"okay."

Athena hurriedly left the room, leaving only Zeus and Hera left.

“Hey, isn’t this a big deal?”

When Hera turned on the computer, Zeus was restless and bit his thumb.

“Aren’t we in danger too!”

“Of course it would be dangerous. We killed 8 people, so are the four of us safe?”

“Then we must catch it quickly!”

“So Athena went looking for the culprit.”

“Aren’t the four of us at risk too? Shouldn’t we be united?”

“It’s stupid. Why would the criminal be aiming for prayer time? It's safe until tomorrow's prayer time, so stop chewing his nails and do something you can too."

Hera, annoyed by his side, tells Zeus to leave the conference room.

she did

"Damn it!"

Zeus, who came out, wandered the hallway as if anxious.

"madam. I can't. I need to stay with Ares, who is good at fighting.”

Ares, god of war.

He was the one who caused the most damage when fighting the government forces.

His skill was a wide-area attack, so people feared him more than Zeus, the strongest in one-on-one battles.

His bubbly personality also played a part in it.

did.

“I should be with you at the door.”

When I went down to the second floor, there were employees standing in the hallway.

“What line is this?”

"Ah! Mr. Zeus. This line is for an interview with Athena-sama.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

The staff did not yet know that the gods of Olympus were dead.

‘Was there so many staff at the temple?’

Zeus hurried down to the first floor. Soon-won and Hee-ju, who were standing in line, stared at the back.

♦ ♦ ♦

An hour has passed.

After the interview, the people in front left the room, and it was Hee-joo's turn. She entered the room where Athena was.

“Soon-won.”

Shortly after entering, Hee-joo came out.

"Huh?"

“Since we were together, I want you to have an interview too.”

It's not the first time I've been interviewed at the same time. If it was the person I was with, three or four were interviewed together.

" •••okay."

She took a deep breath and she entered the room where Athena was. She had to remain extremely tense, as any blunder could be caught.

click.

When Hee-ju opened the door, Athena was waiting for the two of them in the room.

“Come in and sit down.”

Athena wearing glasses is very

I looked intelligent. Her gaze seemed to see through everything.

“Did you two discover Aphrodite’s death for the first time?”

"Yes? Is Aphrodite dead?”

Soon-won asked, pretending not to know.

Because it was a secret that the gods were dead, and she shouldn't show that she knew it.

“Oh, you don’t have to pretend you don’t know in front of me.”

“What do you mean… .”

“Because I gave the order to kill the fake gods of Olympus.”

Soon-won and Hee-ju, who were fully prepared to fight in case of an emergency, opened their eyes in surprise and looked at Athena.

“What did you just say… .”

“I am the referee on this floor.”

Soon-won and Hee-ju looked at each other in surprise.

"Is that true?"

“Yes, players Jung Soon-won and Kang Hee-joo who came up on the 97th floor. You did a great job. To kill 8 people during prayer time is more than I expected.”

Hee-ju's expression that she doesn't understand

as she asked Athena.

“Why is the referee playing Olympus himself?”

"that is… .”

Athena explained.

Originally, I did not intend to make this level of difficulty this high.

I approached Hera with the intention of making it on the 30th floor, but I was deceived by her flashy speech and made the mistake of giving too much power, and because of that, the players who tried to kill them died one after another.

“•••So the difficulty of killing them is

It was set on the 97th floor.”

“But why is the referee playing Olympus himself?”

Soon-won asked.

“I intervened so that the difficulty does not go up any further. Originally, this was a secret, but I got a lot of punishment for making the wrong difficulty. So this time, we brought the players with the strongest magical powers so they can finish it no matter what.”

“Then where are the rest of my colleagues?”

“Playing games made by other referees

would be doing If you bring in too many players, Hera might notice. So I picked only five to go to the small group, but three have already died.”

Hee-ju smiled bitterly.

This is because I saw the Olympus gods easily and openly attacked the front door and saw the dead, the players who died while trying to assassinate, and the players who died while trying to poison them.

“Then, except for Athena-sama, is it enough to just kill the other three?”“Don’t worry, I will take care of this shell by myself if I kill the other three. Rather, Zeus, Hera, and Ares

I was thinking of a way to kill the three like this... .”

It was the first time for a referee to be so deeply involved in a game, so Hee-ju listened to her explanation with a bewildered expression on her face.

“They are estranged from each other.”

“Are you going to fight amongst themselves?”

“Yeah, I’m going to tell Hera a little bit that Ares is like that. They told Ares that Hera did it.”

“If they fight, who will Zeus take?”

“I’ll probably take Hera’s side.”

“Who do you plan to side with, Athena-sama?”

"I'll have to stand on Ares' side and balance it out. You watch the situation and help Ares with me.”

"all right."

The interview is over.

“I deliberately did it slowly in front of you, because I was afraid that if the interview time was too long, only you would be suspicious. The rest of us will fill up our time and finish it quickly, so go out and prepare.”

"Yes."

Soon-won and Hee-ju left the interview room.

The two went to the kitchen and talked about what had just happened.

“What do you think?”

Hee-ju fell into her troubles.

“I think it worked out well because the referee is on the same side, but why?”

“As far as I know, it is illegal for the referee to interfere this much. When it's all over, will we leave the two of us who know our own way?”

“But we can’t kill the referee.”

“Ummm… .”

There is a saying called Tosagupin.

It is said that the hunting dog that catches the rabbit will eat it because its utility has run out.

Hee-joo was worried about that.

“Don't worry too much about that. Because I have an idea.”

♦ ♦ ♦

Athena's operation was successful.

Hera, who was the only Olympian god who always refuted and shouted at his words, was the culprit, and Hera was outraged, saying that he knew it.

Ares also said that Hera, who had been ignoring him openly, was the culprit, said that it worked out well, pulled out weapons and went to see each other.

“Zeus, kill him!”

"Zeus! stand by my side! Hera is the culprit!”

Hera and Ares shouted at each other to have Zeus on their side. Zeus did not understand the situation and was confused.

“I fully understand this situation… .”

Athena tells Hera that she is willing to act as if she were on Ares's side.

She said she would betray her in a moment of silence and she had told Ares that she would stand by you.

“You idiot! I was the one who designed the Olympus system! Can I break this on my own?”

“No. Hera, are you trying to become the king of Olympus?”

"profit! Ares, you bastard!”

Eventually, the two fought.

Ares was confident that he would defeat Hera if it was one-on-one, and Hera calculated that Athena would help him even if Zeus did not help him.

started a fight with

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooing your you for!

In the wide space on the first floor of the temple, the pillars began to crumble.

'Who are you on your side?'

Athena was also troubled.

If you were on Ares' side and killed Hera first, it was difficult to defeat Zeus and Ares, the strongest of your powers. because it is

‘Okay, I’ve decided.’

Athena blinked at Soon-won and Hee-ju. It meant to attack when he sent a signal.
