Overgeared

Chapter 2045

The best outcome that Mumud had hoped for was the mutual destruction of Grid and Asura.

“I knew that you and Asura would surely clash. I also thought there would be a high probability that both of you would be seriously injured.”

“I’m embarrassed that I didn’t live up to your expectations.”

Mumud had thought Grid would fight to the death with Asura but, surprisingly, Grid avoided the fight... Grid laughed as he remembered what Mumud had said to him the moment they met.

“You planned to kill us back then on the premise that we would be exhausted.”

“No. I was actually planning to help you kill Asura. I was going to let you live no matter what,” Mumud said firmly. “If I kill you, a player, you will resurrect anyway. Then the Overgeared World will forever be wary and hostile to me.”

It was true. At the time, Mumud’s ultimate goal had been to defeat Braham. He had planned to accumulate sufficient power after isolating Asgard and the surface. Until then, it was necessary to keep away from the eyes of the Overgeared World. That way, no one would expect a surprise attack on Braham in the distant future. Grid was convinced of that.

“Um...”

Grid wasn’t surprised that Mumud understood the concept of a player. Rebecca and Judar had been quick to realize that this world was just a game. Wouldn’t the rare genius of the era, who had been watching them from the side, notice this fact?

However, Marie Rose... Grid looked at her. Fortunately, she didn’t seem interested in their conversation. She seemed to be enjoying the scenery of Asgard and paying attention to the baby in her belly.

Mumud told Grid the details of his plan. “The plan was to guard the Full Moon Fortress of the demon cultivators. I was planning to use you to defend the Full Moon Fortress and then banish Asura from Asgard. If everything worked out, Asgard would have successfully been isolated from the surface.”

“Is it possible to banish Asura?”

“While I was working with Asura, I created a spell by thoroughly analyzing his magic power and divinity. This spell encourages Asgard to reject and push out Asura. It takes away control of Asgard for a while, so the side effects are huge and it is only a one-time thing, but... It is quite possible to use this spell.”

“......”

Grid was speechless for a moment. Asgard was a divine world created by the Gods of the beginning. Naturally, Rebecca was the one in control of it. Dominion had taken on her role but even he wouldn’t be able to make the entirety of Asgard yield all of his commands.

However, Mumud could. The spell was a one-time use, but he said he could exceed even the authority of a God of the beginning. This could only be done with the power of magic.

“I feel this every time, but... The spells you create are miracles that transcend the realm of science. I can see why Braham admires you.”

“Because of my skills, jealousy bloomed on Braham’s part, bringing a lot of misfortune to both of us. My talent isn’t something to be praised, but a curse to be guarded against.”

“You’re overthinking. Why are you blaming yourself when what happened was simply Braham’s fault? I see it as a blessing to the world that a good and upright being like you is so talented.”
