Overgeared

‘Isn’t it confusing?’

The reason why Grid decided not to participate in the National Competition was because he needed time. Unable to waste a single minute or second, he moved to the smithy as soon as his conversation with Han Seokbong was over.

‘There are only seven?’

It was a sentence that felt strange. Han Seokbong said that only seven yangbans had been active over the past hundreds of years but the number of people Grid witnessed when he first encountered the yangbans was over 10. There were exactly 13 people. This wasn’t a distortion of his memories. Grid recognized them as having a presence similar to the West Continent legends and clearly remembered his surprise that the number of yangbans was greater than the Western legends. Above all, there were witnesses.

“Braham, didn’t you see 13 people at that time?”

Deep in a secret passage...

Braham frowned as he walked beside Grid in the newly created maze the dwarf Ke had created in the process of expanding the Overgeared Palace. He had taken off his skin mask after a long time and boasted a remarkable beauty that fascinated everyone.

“How many times have you asked me this?” Braham’s soul was awake when Grid first visited the East Continent. At that time, he and Grid weren’t friends. They were in the stage of gradually forming good feelings and Braham had indirectly witnessed and experienced the world through Grid’s eyes. “13 is correct.”

“However, Viscount Han Seokbong said there were only seven.”

“He must be lying. He is a worrisome guy who will hit you in the back sooner or later.”

“That’s not it.”

Grid knew that Han Seokbong wasn’t a man who would deceive or betray him. There was no reason to do so. Braham read the conviction in Grid’s eyes and thought for a moment. “If Han Seokbong isn’t lying then the Easterners might be caught up in a group suggestion.”

“Suggestion?”

“It is a suggestion to not recognize anyone apart from the seven as yangbans.”

“Why would such a suggestion be used?”

“I think they must be conscious of the monitors that the Western gods placed on the East Continent. The Five Seniors and Chiyou might be gods but they were dogs who lost and were driven out. It is normal for them to be wary and afraid of the Western gods. If it is as you think and they are building up their forces for revenge, they might need to hide their power.”

“Ah...”

It seemed very plausible. A god had methods of deceiving millions or tens of millions of people.

“In that sense, the number seven is very valid. There are exactly seven archangels. If the number of yangbans is also seven then the Western gods won’t feel any doubts.”

Braham grabbed Grid’s wrist and placed Grid behind him. The dwarf’s playfulness was triggered and he made a uselessly complex maze. Thus, Braham had to personally lead Grid through the maze.

“Excuse me, Braham.” Grid spoke as he was grabbed by the collar and followed Braham. “If my guess is right, the more deity points the yangbans build up, the stronger they will be. So they should expose themselves to the public as much as possible to be worshipped. Apart from the seven, wouldn’t the remaining six be unable to build up deity because they can’t be recognized, let alone be worshipped?”

“I guess so.”

“This means that with the exception of seven, the other yangbans are weaker than Garam?”

“Correct. Even if there are hundreds or thousands in the Hwan Kingdom, they won’t be as strong as you think.”

“Hah...” Grid sighed with relief. He was worried that all the yangbans would be as strong as Garam but now he could rest assured.

Braham gave a warning. “Don’t be relieved. The moment the Five Seniors and the Chiyou shake off the scrutiny of the Western gods, all of the yangbans will appear before humanity and humanity will begin to deify them.”
