Overgeared

Chapter 2040

Mumud had made an incredible threat to Grid—attacking the Full Moon Fortress would kill the humans on the surface.

[He won’t be able to strike quickly. He might hesitate for hours or tens of minutes. Grid is a good person. Above all, I believe you won’t be easily defeated.]

[That is a possibility.]

Marie Rose seemed to have little interest in Grid’s choice. She nodded roughly and stared at Mumud. That was all. She didn’t take any actions or ask any questions. Mumud was a bit taken aback, so he took the lead in the conversation while building a magical area around him so that his intent didn’t leak out.

[I’m trying to separate Asgard from the surface for the sake of both humans and gods. As long as the Overgeared World exists, it is impossible for Asgard and the surface to coexist.]

Human worship was necessary for gods to exist. The more worship the gods received, the stronger they became. The more they were forgotten, the more they disappeared.

Now, the humans on the surface were serving the gods of the Overgeared World, not Asgard. This was a serious problem for Asgard. Once enough time passed, the anxious gods of Asgard would eventually struggle to exert any sort of influence over the humans on the surface. There would be a lot of confusion and strife.

[As an angel, I have an instinct to protect Asgard. I also want to protect humans due to my memories as a human. Just...]

Mumud’s eyes, which seemed warm despite being silver, immediately became cold.

[I will punish Braham. Marie Rose, I’m sure you can relate. My teacher’s existence is useless to the world.]

Marie Rose realized something. Mumud was being sincere now.

[His desire for knowledge can’t be suppressed and will never dissipate. One day, he will sacrifice everything in order to satisfy that desire. I know this because I’ve been through it.]

This was the real reason Mumud wanted to protect the Full Moon Fortress. He had good intentions and really wanted to protect the land and Asgard. However, he also planned to harm Braham, just as Grid had expected, but not because of a personal grudge.

[Marie Rose, please support me.]

It took him less than a second to ask this because they were conversing with intent, not words.

[You are greedy.]

After using teleportation to pursue Mumud, Marie Rose had only been looking for a way to subdue him. Now, she responded to the conversation properly for the first time.

[I agree with your opinion that Braham’s desire for knowledge will grow endlessly. That is everything he inherited from Beriache. But I don’t think he will cause the same accident as before.]

[Is it because Grid is with him now?]

[......]

Marie Rose was about to say something else, but gave up and just nodded.

Mumud’s expression darkened.

[Grid will disappear someday.]
