Overgeared

The north…

Jormungandr’s hint helped tremendously. Based on Grid’s current position, there was only one area in the north where the demon cultivators could set up their base.

‘The Collapsed Temple.’

The cemetery of the forgotten gods.

Grid’s expression became bitter as he checked the annotation on the map. Even beings who were supposed to be gods would die the moment they were forgotten because there was no such thing as a god that no one knew about.

In that sense, the gods of Asgard had a fire burning at their feet because it was the Overgeared World, not Asgard, that was closely involved in the lives of humanity currently. The gods of the Overgeared World, united around Grid, lived alongside humans. They watched humans from the side, helped them, and thus, became the objects of a new faith.

Meanwhile, the gods of Asgard faded from people’s memories. With the exception of Rebecca, Dominion, and Judar, who had formed huge religions, most of the gods could end up forgotten and extinguished within decades. This was very serious.

However, it wasn’t that bad. The gods of Asgard didn’t take action prematurely. It wasn’t that they had something they believed in. Rather, they were greatly influenced by the current state of things. The Refractive Dragon was chasing Rebecca. Judar, who had radical ideas, was dead.

The gods of Asgard had nowhere to turn. Unlike Judar, Dominion seemed to use his brain a lot. Therefore, they couldn’t act rashly and would only be nervous.

Grid understood to a certain extent how the gods who sided with Asura and Mumud felt.

‘They just desire to do something rather than sit still and wait for death.’

Mumud, whom he once encountered, was clever. His ability to read the flow of current events was excellent. He probably believed that there was no hope left for Asgard.

‘That explains why he joined forces with the demon cultivators.’

Humanity was virtually dominated by the Overgeared World. This was retribution, the price that Asgard had to pay for betraying so many of humanity’s beliefs and expectations in the past.

Could Asgard regain its former status now? That was impossible to do, unless the gods overthrew the Overgeared World by force. However, in terms of force, the Overgeared World wasn’t weaker than Asgard. The balance had been offset the moment Hayate came back alive from hell and Grid killed Judar.

What measures did Asgard come up with this time?

‘They want to support a whole new humanity.’

The new humanity would be the cultivators who would cross over to this world through the Full Moon Fortress. Grid was sure that Asura and Mumud had demanded worship in exchange for helping the demon cultivators. The demon cultivators wouldn’t have been able to resist this, so the deal should have gone smoothly.

‘...They usually do well when it comes to things like this.’

If Asgard hadn’t betrayed humanity, they wouldn’t have been in this extreme situation. The heavenly gods would’ve still been worshiped. From Grid’s perspective, this was good. The Asgard that hadn’t betrayed humanity wouldn’t have been at odds with Grid.

If only Judar had acted normally, the world would’ve been at peace, and Grid wouldn’t have needed to take on so many responsibilities. The Absolutes would’ve been busy with each other, and Grid would’ve enjoyed raid competitions with ordinary players.

‘Maybe I would’ve been busy fighting over land with Valhalla.’

Wouldn’t it have been quite interesting if either side hadn’t been able to overcome each other with force and had a fierce rivalry? The fate of humanity or the world wouldn’t have rested on Grid’s shoulders, so he would’ve accepted defeat cheerfully no matter how many times he experienced it... He wouldn’t need to feel stressed...
