Overgeared

‘Braham doesn’t know anything about his sister.’

Marie Rose wasn’t the type to take risks, so there was no need to worry after all. Grid laughed, recalling Braham’s fleeting advice. Grid shouldn’t have expected anything else in the first place.

Braham and Marie Rose didn’t have a normal sibling relationship. Braham had hated his sister for hundreds of years. At the end of the day, he had sided with Marie Rose instead of his mother, but... In any case, Braham didn’t understand what kind of person his sister really was. He wasn’t in the position to grasp her personality.

Grid felt foolish for believing Braham. He briefly felt relieved.

‘...Still, there is room for hope.’

Braham trusted Marie Rose. He knew she wasn't a fool and that she was cautious. Grid hoped that the relationship between the two would eventually improve. Of course, now wasn’t the right time to think about the future since Grid was in the middle of enemy territory.

“......”

Dominion urged Grid to take Marie Rose with him, but he couldn’t take Dominion’s words at face value unless he was a fool. After all, Grid was Asgard’s fiercest enemy. Would they really miss the opportunity to exterminate his family? If Grid had been in Dominion’s shoes, he would’ve never missed this chance.

‘What is he up to? Is he trying to catch me off guard just to stab me in the back? Or did he set up a trap in advance that activates some type of barrier the moment I join Marie Rose?’

It had taken Grid approximately an hour to get here with the angels’ guidance. Considering how powerful gods were, this was enough time to prepare a trap.

‘Dominion is the God of War. He surely knows a lot of tactical skills, such as setting up an ambush.’

Grid was extremely vigilant. He turned to look at Marie Rose, who was standing on the roof of a temple supported by dozens of pillars. It wouldn’t be strange if something lurked inside those thick pillars.

Seeing that Grid wasn’t moving, Dominion said, [You don’t have to be so vigilant. If you regard this issue as similar to Chiyou’s invasion of your city, the answer you are seeking should be simple, right?]

“Um.”

Certainly. Grid thought this might not be a trap. Two Absolutes invading the heart of Asgard and causing mayhem? This would be terrible for Dominion. No matter how much the god punished the intruders, the nearby buildings and landscape would suffer enormous damage. Grid and Marie Rose had come here of their own volition. They hadn’t been lured to this place by some scheme.

Grid calmed down and stopped being so suspicious.

Marie Rose’s jewel-like red eyes stared at Dominion. She looked down at him, even though Dominion was way stronger than her.

“Stop freaking out and be quiet. It’s up to my dear husband and me whether we leave or not.”

The look she gave the God of war was ingrained in her personality, innate even. Her extremely cold voice immediately made the atmosphere less tense than it was before.

Metatron, who had been holding back the whole time, finally spoke.

[Marie Rose, you might’ve greedily devoured your mother and become Yatan’s blood relative, but there is a line that must not be crossed. Dominion is higher than you on the hierarchy. Shouldn’t you show respect?]

A faint smile appeared on Marie Rose’s face as she tilted her head. “Greedily devoured my mother? Hierarchy?”

A fight could break out at any moment now. Grid, who had calmed down, was once again anxious.
