It took me a few minutes to stop crying and calm down. In front of me was a figure I hadn't seen in a long time, Azartooth. The man next to her is Satan. My eyes were still red and swollen from constantly crying before.
"So, with this I've finished the hell labyrinth, right? Then, will I be revived immediately or will there be something else to do?"
Ask Rigel.
"Don't rush. It's only been 11 or 12 years of training, while you have to go through it for 100 years, remember?"
Azartooth.
"Well, since you're really the one who deserves that power, there's not much more I need to teach you. However, there's one more thing you have to do and after that, I can return you to EarthLand."
Azartooth.
"And what is that?"
Ask Rigel.
"Before you begin your final training, I'll tell you some important things about you other parts of you."
Azartooth.
Another part of me? What does it mean that I have someone else in my body or something? Well, the answer is Azartooth.
"Who do you think is stronger and perfect between gods and humans?"
Azartooth said seriously.
I've been training with him for 5 years and I understand very well when I can't argue or joke when he asks me something. Still, what kind of silly question this is, even a child knows what the answer is.
"Of course the gods, right? To a god-man was an existence that was far within their reach."
Rigel.
"Well, your answer is not wrong and I'm sure every human being has the same answer. But the reality is very different, Rigel."
Azartooth.
"What do you mean?"
Ask Rigel.
"we gods are strong, but man is more perfect than us, especially in his physical form. Even we gods imitate the physical form of a human being. For power, the gods are indeed stronger, but humans can become stronger than us gods."
Azartooth.
I just kept listening to him tell stories.
"Humans have enormous potential in terms of magic, they are free to access various spells they can learn. Since knowing that, we gods are afraid of humans who have unlimited potential and the gods finally agree that they must put a limit of power on humans so that their power is not stronger than the gods."
"One of the main differences between humans and gods is age. If the gods live eternally, humans cannot live more than 100 years. The gods made use of it and ended up instilling restrictions that referred to the level system."
"Level system?"
Rigel.
"Yes, the higher your level the harder it is to go up, right? This is done so that no human has the power that can match us gods. If without such level limits, it is not impossible for a human to kill a god."
Azartooth.
Although this sounds like a surprise because the gods were once afraid of humans, there are things that make me confused.
"Wait, if you gods instill a level in humans, what about us humans from earth? We can't use magic there's not even something like a level other than in the game."
Rigel.
"Yes, humans on earth are a little different. By the time a new human sets foot on planet Earth, they know nothing about magic and don't even know if it really exists. When humans on earth are different from others, they do not rely on magic but knowledge."
Azartooth.
"They're growing slowly. They tried to grow vegetables to survive and started building houses and traps for animals. Because of this, we gods are very interested in human life on earth. We the gods began to descend to earth and help the humans there to build civilization, especially the god hephaestus. He's the one who's most interested in humans and he's the one who taught humans how to make weapons."
So, to help us manusoa on earth build civilization, the gods came down to help us because we live without relying on magic. I imagine that great scientists like Albert Einstein are gods who blend in as humans. I can't imagine it.
Azartooth continued to talk about various things about humans. I listened to him while sitting on the cold ground.
"Is there anything else you want to know?"
Ask Azartooth.
"Hmm, I want to know what you mean by the other side of me."
Rigel.
"The other part of you I'm referring to is another soul joining your soul."
"What's? The soul of another?"
Rigel.
"Yes. The soul belongs to my son. The reason the fifth key chose you is probably because my son's soul is in yours."
Azartooth.
"Wait, how can you? Wouldn't a god come back to life by reincarnating again?"
Rigel.
"Yes, but what happened to my son was different. You know that the gods created the heroes?"
Tachya Azartooth.
I just nodded as the answer.
"That god is my Son, he sacrificed his physical form of god to create a hero. In the beginning, heroes were just a collection of hopes from all humans in the universe and my son turned that hope into a weapon that the chosen humans would use. Since my son sacrificed his physical body, his soul has no receptacle in place. That's why my wife Athena the goddess of war mixed our son's soul into the human soul and it continued until he ended up in your soul Rigel."
Azartooth.
So, wouldn't it be indirectly that I am also including his son? Because the soul of his son is inside me. Then, I shook my head to get those thoughts out of my head.
"I want to ask you one more question, what exactly was the promised day? When dealing with other princes, they always allude to the promised day. Even Azazel was discussing something about my destiny or something."
Rigel.
There was a brief silence between Azartooth and Satan who had been listening silently ever since.
"You'll find out when the time comes, Rigel. For now I'll tell you the last thing you have to do."
Azartooth.
Although I was a little upset that he did not give me an answer and switched the conversation, I obeyed Azartooth whose hand was pointing behind me. I turned around in the direction he was pointing and I was surprised by what I saw.
A hundred, no, a million, or maybe ten million troops are already marching behind me. Have they been there since? I was completely unaware of them.
"What the hell is this."
Mumbles Rigel.
"You have to beat them all, Rigel. Think of it as an exercise in using the power of that key."
Azartooth.
"W-what do you mean, I have to make them my training bunny?"
Ask Rigel with fear.
" yes. Relax, they are not human. You don't have to worry. If you want to go back to where your girl is, you have to do it. "
Azartooth.
" Tu-wait, do I really have to do it now?"
Rigel said in a panic.
"Yes, Satan and I will stay here watching you, now go."
Azartooth.
"Come, go there I want to see how the power of the key is in your hands."
Said Satan while pushing me down.
Shit, they just forced me. Aky doesn't know the exact number, but I'm sure they're over 10 million. They were wearing full sets of armor that looked like humans, yet I heard the moans of monsters from them.
I don't know what kind of monster they are, maybe like the monster I faced in the labyrinth before, where Anastasia got this fake left hand. The four keys seemed to have entered my body on their own.
"Huh, one vs. ten million. It's very unbalanced."
Mumbles Rigel.
I took a deep breath and activated the runes all over my body. I closed my eyes and steadied my resolve to face this army of monsters.
"Yaharggghhhhhh!!!"
Rigel roars.
I ran straight to where the millions of knight monsters were and I would kill them all. Wait for me, Tirith.
