Chapter 206: The eternal and immortal Ra (3)
VsDk4uShirone closed his eyes and received the memories that Peophe transmitted to him. It felt warm.iGdCc
ujaNG“Thank you, Peophe.”heO7H
m0RIf it were not for Peophe, they would not have even made it this far.EsAVb
7bWMIf they managed to rescue Amy and the others safe and sound, Shirone was willing to give all the credit to Peophe.4Wce
1ZN0Vuc“Bah! What about me? I only came because I was curious about what you were doing. From now on I do not plan to get involved at all, so understand it that way.”ZmMrb
2b4wxPeophe refused until the end to admit it, but Shirone knew. She had a soft and pure heart. That is why, even living a long life, she could not ignore the pain of humans.M9qv4ZR
B6MQZAp“Peophe, you will surely become a great fairy.”4VHtC
ZTKc0pW“Yeah, yeah. Just go in already. I am tired too and do not want to stay here any longer.”cEf2qj
6CbRePeophe moved aside to the side where the door opened. She was curious about the inside, but she did not have the courage to indiscreetly look into an angel’s room.7BBodGM
b5pPWhen Shirone entered, the iron door closed with a loud bang.x1EmS1
wZ9xgkwEven though there was only one door between them, Peophe felt as if Shirone had disappeared from the world.hEai
adEypRealizing that no one was left around her, loneliness invaded her. Was the place at the top of the world this lonely?eCd
VIE“Bah. I am going back.”xzq2Q
5lSTrying to calm her restless mind, Peophe took the light elevator and arrived at the first floor.5zGoJ
LfQgZWhen she returned to Shamayin, she would have to report to Igirin. She would protect her until the punishment for the usurpation ended. Then, if she slept, the next day she would continue her routine as always.FNtsRH
AzzgBoom. Boom.JPioNo
GTFK0aRThe ground rumbled from the entrance toward which Peophe was heading. Someone was entering.fgcQC
sWJJust from hearing the sound, Peophe’s face turned pale.cpsGE
ZhJNothing could be seen yet but a shadow, but it was undoubtedly a giant. If the ground trembled like that, how big would it be?Alob08b
dv3McoA giant appeared from the entrance.53WY
giVWAq0Unlike what was expected, he was not that enormous.9JHKmKW
T3UHe barely exceeded two meters, which, for a giant, did not even reach the level of a dwarf.1Qz
WiplG1PHowever, judging by his attire, he seemed to have a fairly high level of the Liquor of Anecdotes.6O8T
eamQCHe had broad shoulders, a developed lower jaw, arms hard as rock, and a burning gaze.2cR9ei
EV2Upon recognizing his identity through fundamental knowledge, Peophe forgot even to flap her wings. She almost fell, but managed to regain her balance and take flight.cVFM
o614YP‘My God… who am I seeing?’5HH7tY
PJ9PXIt was Ymir, the king of the giants.hkpYl
6I1YLAlthough he was not that large, the ground trembled because the muscles that formed his body were extremely heavy.xK54jRU
sMWhcIt was said that more than ten thousand humans had been absorbed by the Liquor of Anecdotes. The strongest giant in history was approaching.ByXAE9y
4eUcxUpon seeing Peophe, Ymir’s pace gradually quickened.lh7
EMnG7TkGiants are below angels and mara, but with Ymir it was different.3zkJs
dLk257According to fundamental knowledge, he had destroyed several worlds with only the strength of his body.Y4D
dVCMqJIn terms of pure strength, he possessed power superior to that of a mid-level angel.GP625T
JBWsxPeophe swallowed as she waited for Ymir to approach.iijr3u
VQxnWhen he stopped with a heavy thud, she instinctively greeted him.iTE4wW
Xtl5jLG“A-aah… hello.”mT13
t2bRegret for her impulsive decision immediately overwhelmed her.9XutT
nV0Although giants belonged to the fifth heaven, Matei, and fairies to the fourth heaven, Makonom, in reality they maintained a balance between nature and divinity.XS78
Q27FjpLFor that reason, fairies did not need to bow to them. Rather, when they met, they usually distrusted and spoke ill of each other.v8w
h6QNJU7“Who are you?”ywM
zHbJ“Ah, I am Peophe, spiral fairy.”Wfb9M5
6IUjMUZPeophe swallowed again. She did not know how a giant might harm her, being natural enemies.olnF
tszWBut against all expectations, Ymir received her kindly.LrvLz2z
vqI5Y“I had already heard about you. They said that an eccentric had been born in the world of fairies so it was you.”sK1Sbo
joZRcrKIt was the first time she had heard something like that. They were probably conversations among higher laws.u3a20g7
owrEccentric? What had she done to be evaluated like that?uWvKn
9YKV“You look cute. Tell me, what brings you to Arabot?”OB2l
o9zWX“Ah, I came as a substitute on a mission from Igirin, the chief of the fairies.”jWYlIz7
7kqlPeophe improvised an answer. It was true, but she felt guilty for using Igirin’s name.LLq
i5NBNEven so, she needed to use any connection available to get out of the situation.u5EyqQi
NDwppB“I see. I heard that Ikasa went to Shamayin. They say she captured some heretics.”dXZhd
caUm“Yes, it seems so. Ah, right… do you know what happened to the girls she took?”ubwF
TbN2OPeophe wanted to hit her mouth. Why ask that now?ZBm
rImThere was nothing she could do anymore. She just had to return home.pKj2
xewFBut, against her will, her ears were already attentive to the answer.DWAw
UJ5b80j“It seems they are in Kariel’s laboratory. They say they found a metagate. That is why the Great Hall of the World is in an uproar.”7QJM
ASmD0hLThat he did not use honorifics with the archangel Kariel was clearly disrespectful, but Ymir did not care. That showed how great he was as a warrior.z8GUG
bMVO“I see… but an uproar?”IXXp28G
zmIYydG“They say the metagate contains lost coordinates. I am not interested in the details, but soon there will be a war. That is why I came to beg Ra to return my body to me.”nKBZWL6
XpX6K“Ah… I understand.”GHwbh
Ua0TThe story of how Ymir lost his body was well known in heaven.lmmKW9U
2mLfSMWhile Ikasa had lost her power for a great sin, Ymir had been stripped of his body simply for being too strong.MJgX9L
zpsHe was strong. Too strong. That was why Ra had no choice but to limit his body.wXv
x1dK4kThat also went against the laws, being one of the exceptional cases in the history of heaven.sA1
yE1YWhen Ymir raised his hand, Peophe closed her eyes in terror. She felt as if an enormous wall was approaching.RDdq
pb72YHSBut what she felt was a gentle touch. The giant’s finger stroked her head.eF5Qb
2FCZZ“War is inevitable. When it begins, fight by my side. If you are with me, no enemy will be able to touch you.”KIs
rxNY9F“A-ah… yes, I will.”EHbCt
juZaBYmir smiled with his eyes and walked past. Boom, boom, the ground trembled again.JSQC
aUzOnly when he reached the elevator and disappeared into fragments of light did Peophe finally let out a sigh of relief.KwxK
bdTrK“Huff… at least I got out of that well.”hrDXmX3
nxxBalAlthough she felt embarrassed for having been afraid of a giant, considering that it was Ymir, it could be said that she had handled it with dignity.17e
llESL8hShe tried to convince herself of that, but in reality it was a memory she would rather erase.whj
67cOBShaking her head, Peophe left Arabot. In her mind, the route to Shamayin quickly took shape.nPjO7fN
QcsBut her gaze drifted.Dd1
OQMuiGkThe Great Hall of the World. The metagate. The war.gSYt
prVdcSince the Liquor of Anecdotes had dissipated, she kept hearing things she had never imagined.67e
GUbTclPeophe walked back and forth, conflicted. The desire to run away clashed with the feeling that she should not.kdnz9
BbyShirone’s voice echoed in her mind.rjb
EfMOE— You will surely become a great fairy.C4p7d
wLF4Peophe grabbed her head and shook it. But the words were already engraved in her mind.tBKO
D1m“Ah, seriously! I am going crazy!”kSxQQuw
8w8Peophe flew off at great speed.jCwnb
yAEEWSGA single fairy headed toward Jebul, the resting place of the angels.En6Vi
rJxL***mwlf
HdQAnke Ra resided in the tower of Arabot.zCH
y7bhAn omniscient and omnipotent being who could freely control the life expectancy of believers and even govern their memories.Kxbmh3c
CI3ThVnYmir had ascended the tower to obtain an audience with that supreme being.NAiDtdw
XldgWaThe king of the giants, Ymir.6oUJvY
bk3uhkThe strongest giant in the history of heaven.UA2r
sJDMThe Liquor of Anecdotes is divided into a total of ten stages until reaching the perfection of a living being. And Ymir was the only giant in history who had reached the tenth and final stage.9NkrVfp
NUrK0Even someone like Ymir could not help but tense up when standing before the divine throne where Anke Ra resided.XXhte
zCtjThe upper floor, which seemed to pierce the sky, did not occupy even a hundredth of the area of the first floor.1n5waD
oOxAfter arriving in the light elevator, the only thing he saw was a crude iron door.vnn
qrzrP“Anke Ra, your servant requests an audience.”SGd2ArH
Sbh0W3Ymir waited for a moment.GqCih
xJsdThe door began to tremble, and a crack opened in the center, opening inward.R1G
hPzS1M1Ymir stepped forward without hesitation.wro
ZRPBoom. Boom. Boom.rzhjLDo
PtO5A sound of expansion resonated rhythmically. It was like a loose drum, a sound that seemed to be absorbed inward.awf
OMVpThe room did not even have one hundred square meters.1Ky
JHnBJNerve fibers as thin as hair filled the cracks in the floor and extended in all directions, while on the walls hung tubes that looked like intestines.pYjo3xO
eht5KThe nerves on the floor rose and probed Ymir’s ankles, but soon lost interest and withdrew.ZqS
F7kLhYmir knelt on one knee before Ra.HDpQapv
0PD“The giant Ymir presents himself before Anke Ra.”UncG
ApTBoom. Boom. Boom.k0Jhg
vHXepitBehind Ymir’s shoulders, an enormous mass of flesh pulsed like a heart to receive him.6Qucbn7
2GGWeight 26 tons. It was a dark reddish color, surrounded by mucus, and its shape was a collapsed structure with no defined features.wp518
XTkBBThe central part protruded, while the ends hung like deflated balloons.9bWB
bEb2CCFrom those ends extended intestinal bundles that covered the walls, and from them grew nerves that spread across the floor, jumping like waves.RLHpu54
8DrRa’s body seemed like an amalgamation of all the organs of a living being.G2Tfwy
jrzPVIt was heart and brain, digestive system and sensory organ at the same time.IeixOR
OAKq0Around Ymir, Ra’s nerves began to thrash frantically. Then, the center of the mass of flesh swelled and, with a wet sound, tore horizontally. The skin split upward and downward, and from its interior emerged a huge eye.7tPRr
EE4Anke Ra (eternal and immortal Ra, age unknown).j1utC
QvVrpQThe iris, the size of a person’s face, contracted and expanded as it focused.cawu
tIkZThen, a sharp sound that pierced the eardrums came out of it.vwws
4NyY“Kiiik! Giant… Kiiik! Ymir, why… Kiiik! have you come to seek me?”Z21E
OYuDespite the noise that sounded like nails scraping against a steel plate, Ymir did not change his expression.7pCI9XQ
jLw2“A group of heretics has entered the sacred heaven. Those who denied the Liquor of Anecdotes have been handed over to Kariel and are preparing to receive the Liquor of Life.”d2B
FWX“I… know.”u61jQlc
8gHoKzRa’s voice gradually stabilized. It was still sharp, but it no longer contained noise.VM97AiW
A35Ra knew everything. Therefore, Ymir judged that he had not yet received a response. However, no matter how long he waited, Ra said nothing more.iFdQ
ZJcAB“What is your intention?”vwi
gC4Gya“None. Must I… be concerned?”JKgz
8PKvRgF“It is an unusual case. It is said that the coordinates of a world that had never been infiltrated are recorded in the metagate. This is a perfect opportunity to transmit Ra’s will.”vKHf
FjAgAj“Y-mi-r.”EIS5Z
bSAQrSjDuring those three syllables, Ra’s tone dropped abruptly, and then continued with a majestic voice.lCgTwU
CWCBzw“I am the beginning and the end of the world. Everything is connected to me, therefore there is nothing I must be concerned about.”iYDxWrL
X0K2kY8Ymir pressed his lips together.Ue4V
i9HRa is omnipotent. Therefore, any event must be within his domain. But he could not withdraw without recovering his body.330bY
Zge“I wish to recover my body. I beg you to melt the wall of ice that never melts.”wVA5
dvbz“Ymir, were you not my servant?”0u8y2
6a2“Do not misunderstand. The giants are those who obey the laws. This is also to preserve the laws of heaven.”BWF2p
Gngkgg“It is not permitted.”GrOtOh
qvlzBBcYmir raised his head with burning eyes. But upon meeting Ra’s enormous single eye, all his emotions vanished.uHwJFch
AR15s“More than the blasphemous actions of a billion heretics, a single step of a giant can be louder. And even more so if that step belongs to the king of the giants, Ymir.”DBUhxF
Zcj8L“Do you doubt my loyalty? Do you believe I would rebel against you, who is great?”JFpF
mypg5OE“Ymir, you are the one who must not misunderstand. Your power breaks the balance of the world. Do not forget that the laws exist to maintain the whole.”i2iT
inyAfter saying that, Ra closed his eye.76jV3
c94The crack of the membrane sealed completely, and the intensity of the pulsations increased.nCCJ
