Overgeared

“Don’t you like my suggestion?”

Grid’s expression was stiff. He asked Zeratul to accept the title of Overgeared. It was an expression of trust and goodwill.

Grid highly valued Zeratul. A being in the ranks of the strongest in the world—to put it bluntly, how many beings on the surface and in heaven could stand up to Zeratul? He even had the power to produce skill books.

It was naturally valuable. He wanted to shake off the past and have a true relationship.

However, Zeratul’s response was very disappointing. It was hard to be happy because his goodwill was rejected.

“Um...” Zeratul reacted cautiously. It wasn’t an exaggeration. He was really keeping an eye on Grid. It was because his absolute pride as the Martial God had been shattered when he met Chiyou. Furthermore, he was determined to live as a member of the Overgeavred World. It was only natural for him to keep an eye on Grid.

“I know the meaning of being overgeared.”

From the time that Grid became the Overgeared God, the gods of Asgard also learned and understood the meaning of the word overgeared.

Relying on battle gear—it was unwelcome from Zeratul’s point of view.

“As I said before, I will continue to be the Martial God. Relying on battle gear? I don’t want that. My last remnant of pride... I can’t accept it.”

Zeratul hesitated for a moment before speaking. It was because he recalled Grid’s Defying the Natural Order. The treasured sword that allowed him to stand up to Chiyou. It was so powerful. He was fascinated in an instant and wanted to make it his favorite weapon.

However, a tool should always be a tool. He couldn’t rely on it. Zeratul was convinced that it would act as a poison.

Grid nodded. “It is the will of the Martial God, not anyone else, so I will respect it. But it is a bit shocking... it turns out I am a guy with no pride...”

Grid’s murmur was very faint. Except for the reply that he respected Zeratul’s wish, the rest was talking to himself. However, Zeratul was an Absolute. His overwhelming hearing clearly captured even Grid’s low words to himself.

‘How should I react?’

Originally, Zeratul was an extremely arrogant person in Asgard. He unconditionally prioritized his own will without considering other people’s feelings. This was the nature of the being who had been the Martial God since his birth. The current situation of having to pay attention to Grid was very unfamiliar.

“My apostles and the tower members. My guild members and the army of the empire... they were all fools with no pride...”

“......”

Grid was even the narrow-minded and very stubborn type of person. It meant Zeratul met the wrong person. Zeratul had no resistance to hold out at all against Grid, who constantly scolded him by pretending to talk to himself.

“The people who believe in me and follow me have no backbone or courage...”

“Stop.” Grid’s self-talk started to go too far and Zeratul eventually failed to stay still. “I’ll think about it a bit more.”

“You don’t have to do that if you don’t want to...”

“No, I’m being serious. I can’t get the sensation of using your sword out of my mind.”

Really. The sensation of cutting Chiyou’s flesh with Defying the Natural Order was clearly engraved in Zeratul’s mind.

In the first place, he was the Martial God. He had mastered all martial arts and there were no weapons he couldn’t handle. He shouldn’t rely on weapons? That was too one-dimensional.

‘If I put it that way, I shouldn’t even rely on martial arts.’
