Overgeared

Chapter 1782

“Is there another way to ascend to Asgard?”

Light descended from heaven and small angels appeared blowing their trumpets. Golden clouds spread through the gaps in light to form a staircase. That was the road to Asgard. A path that opened only when the heavenly gods desired it. It was a passage available only to a few chosen beings who were born as gods. It was a symbol of the highest authority, or discrimination.

“There is one more way.”

Grid’s office—it looked very strange to be a space where an emperor ruling a great empire handled his affairs. The nib of the pen was dry without a trace of ink and not a single piece of paper could be found.

‘It doesn’t change.’

The Great Robber of the Red Night had a hobby that had become a habit because he was too old. It was his hobby to infiltrate the king’s office every time a new king of every kingdom ascended to the throne. Since each king held at least one of the kingdom’s greatest treasures, it was fun to steal the treasure while also figuring out the king’s disposition and predicting the fate of the kingdom.

Even the previous emperors of the Saharan Empire had their offices robbed by him. Of course, this meant that Grid’s office wasn’t safe either. The Great Robber of the Red Night had sneaked into Grid’s office twice so far. The first time was when he founded the Overgeared Kingdom, and the second time was when he took control of Saharan and expanded the Overgeared Kingdom into an empire.

Every time, Grid’s office was empty. It was a truly absurd sight. Even the terrible rulers, who had no interest in governing, had a few things in their offices. Meanwhile, Grid had no such pretenses. It wasn’t a sign that he turned away from his responsibilities.

He entrusted his work to competent and trustworthy servants and reviewed them often. This might not be the right answer, but it wasn’t bad either. At the very least, he knew it was impossible for him to reign with his own ability, so he came up with countermeasures. It was a hundred times better than the terrible rulers who ruined the country due to their useless attempt to save face or their stubbornness.

‘I’m sure he has met all types of people due to the experience rapidly accumulated in a short period of time.’

Did he still believe in humans? Eventually, even this thief—

The old man was weighed down by the weight of time, even if he was transcendent. Grid’s strong will as a young man before he even became a god was truly astonishing.

‘What does Chiyou feel when watching him?’

“Are you saying there is another way?”

The Great Robber of the Red Night shook off his brief thoughts and answered, “The dragons.”

The outside of the window in his vision was still red. It was the faint remnants of the aftermath of the super large furnace’s explosion. The flames that burned the sky were a mixture of Fire Dragon Trauka’s energy and Red Phoenix’s flames. It was truly the most powerful flame in the world, so it wasn’t easily extinguished. If it hadn’t been for Euphemina, some of the flames would’ve fallen to the city.

“...Dragons?”

“You know the story of Trauka hunting the celestial gods.”

“Ah.”

“To be able to freely move back and forth between dimensions. This is one of the powers that dragons are born with. Even Asgard, which rises as high as the nose of the gods, was an object they could look down,” the Great Robber of the Red Night spoke clearly to Grid.

Carry me to heaven.

It meant that Grid could do it.

“Do you mean riding up on Nefelina?”

It wasn’t okay. Nefelina was a hatchling. If she transcended her limits, she could show the flying ability of a dragon, but that was only for a short time. It was only one minute. He didn’t know what the concept of ‘crossing dimensions’ was, but if it was based on physical distance, then it would be difficult to ascend to Asgard in one minute.

Sure enough, the Great Robber of the Red Night shook his head.

“That isn’t it. I have heard about the greatness of the hatchling, who transcended the limits while communicating with you, but I can’t call her a dragon...”

“Do you have another way in mind?”
