Overgeared

The black tortoise was resurrected and the false myths were removed. The people rejoiced and prayed, and then the god said that he had received help from a human—the Overgeared King, who punished the fake gods that deceived the people and polluted the land.

‘...I thought it was an exaggeration.’

The king of a nation and a warrior—one of the Xing King’s identities was that of a warrior, and the senses he polished for decades were extremely sharp and delicate. Moreover, he witnessed the yangbans since childhood and it was safe to say his ability to sense the strong was at a transcendent level. For example, him...

‘It wasn’t an exaggeration. This person... no, he is real.’

He shook the moment he saw Grid. A human being who harmed the yangbans who ruled humanity with natural strength and force...

The Xing King discovered that such an unbelievable achievement was actually the truth. “The Overgeared King.”

Step.

The Xing King came down from the throne and approached Grid. He bowed deeply under the attention of his officials and warriors who served him as the supreme one. “It is the highest honor. An infinite honor.”

“......!”

There was a commotion among the officials. The appearance of the golden robe embroidered with the black tortoise being dragged on the ground and crumpled was a sight that the people of Xing couldn’t imagine.

“Since Your Majesty resurrected God Black Tortoise, peace and stability was restored to Xing.”

No matter if they were a king over 10,000 people or a king over tens of millions of people, they should be equal. Once thinking of their subjects, they shouldn’t regard another king as an elder. The Xing King believed so. He might’ve received great grace from the Overgeared King, but he had no intention of bending down. He didn’t want to undermine the pride of the people and he would repay grace with grace.

However, his mind changed the moment he actually met the Overgeared King. They were both kings, but they had a different status. Bowing down to this person wasn’t an act that would shame the people. He didn’t need to feel guilty to the people. This was just pure respect. It was because this was their savior.

“Raise your head.”

The Xing King didn’t know it, but Grid had spent several days with him in the form of Irene, and Grid got a grasp of the Xing King’s personality and essence. He was a man of reason who knew the right path to follow and didn’t forget grace. He strove to be a proud king to the people. Yet such a person was bowing in front of everyone?

Grid didn’t want this. It was easy to understand when thinking of it from a different perspective. Would the members of the Overgeared Guild be happy to see Grid kneel to others? It would be hard to tolerate. The more people who believed that Grid was the best, the more people there were aiming at Grid. Grid knew this and hurried to raise the Xing King, but the king didn’t look up.

“I am a sinner. Not only was I able to repay my benefactor’s favor, but I also let you worry. I really can’t raise my head.”

“Worry?”

“The queen... the Overgeared Queen is missing.”

“Ah.” Grid’s expression changed and he started sweating. He should’ve used Irene’s face, but his thoughts were lacking, causing the Xing King to be in a dilemma.

‘I made a mistake.’

Grid rebuked himself and coughed a few times. “My wife went home... Hum hum, she went back to our home kingdom.”

“Is that true? Crossing the Red Sea was impossible until only a few years ago and it definitely isn’t easy...”

“One of my friends is a resourceful sage. Thanks to his help, intercontinental travel isn’t very difficult.”

“I see...”
