chapter 114

I left the burning blade inside its mouth for quite some time, before finally pulling Krishna out.

“So, are you feeling a bit more humble now?”

“Ask me anything… I’ll answer.”

“No, I can’t feel that you are being earnest.”

I stick my sword back into Harpok’s mouth.

“Stop… just hold up one moment! I promise I’ve become more humble, give me a chance!”

“Hmm… I just have trouble believing you, why is that?”

“No, no, truly ask me anything and I’ll answer you to the fullest of my abilities.”

“Ok, I’ll believe you for now.”

I look down at Harpok with Krishna resting on my shoulder.

“Are you a God?”

“That’s right, I’m a God.”

“Then have you heard of Metatron?”

“Of course I know him, he’s the one who imprisoned me in this jewelry box.”

I level my gazed at him and waited a moment before continuing.

“What is your relationship with Metatron?”

“He had some secrets which he wanted to pry out of me, so he kept torturing me to such an end.”

“Torture? How can that have gone one for any significant amount of time? You fold far too easily to pain.”

“That’s because something is special about your sword. Normal weapons aren’t capable of harming Gods. That thing must be an Artifact class weapon”
“Is it? I have no idea, so then it’s possible to harm a God with these so called Artifact weapons?”

“Yes, in fact it was the very reason that Metatron had been pressing me for answers. He wanted an Artifact weapon of his own.”

“Oh so it’s something that can even harm a God, that’s good to know.”

‘Master, have you finally recognize my value?’

‘Right, it appears that you will be quite useful indeed.”

“Well, even if it’s an Artifact then it can only harm minor Gods. It wouldn’t be able to even scratch those High Gods, not to mention anyone those God Kings.”

“ God Kings?

“For example, Skyfather and Metatron who were both on about the same level.”

“Oh, then why was it that Metatron was so interested in getting his hands on an Artifact?

He couldn’t possibly be so concerned with killing some minor Gods right?”

“No, it’s just that Metatron’s ability is to slow down time and enhance certain attributes. If an Artifact were to be enhanced, then it’s possible that it could be used to harm even the High Gods.”

‘Hmm… slowing down time was his ability after all, I wonder how I can even counter that?’

“So, did you resist his torture and not tell him how to acquire an Artifact weapon?”

“No, I ended up caving and told him that to acquire an Artifact would require the sacrifice of a God, but I knew that he would fail. ”

“I see… so you lied to him and led him into a trap.”

“Well… I guess so, it was a small sacrifice for the peace of the entire world.”

“Should I stick Krishan back into you? Are you lying to me right now as well?”
