Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

164. Berget

#164. Berget

[ Be, Berget. Calm down and let’s talk. Why are you suddenly acting like this? I’m willing to cooperate as much as possible with whatever you want. ]

As the god of war, Do-heun, was about to strike the intruder with his hammer, he realized that the target was the infamous scoundrel, ‘Berget’.

He put down the sword he was holding in his hand and greeted the guest with a respectful attitude.

[ Everyone, please do not come closer . ]

Dohun took a step back as he watched Berget approach him without saying anything. His eyes were fierce, and for some reason, he felt like he shouldn’t allow him to approach.

‘Are you… trying to kill me? Why?’

The ominous feeling I felt from him was clearly murderous intent. Since he was a martial artist, I could clearly sense his intentions.

At first, I thought it might be something else. Do-hun had no acquaintance with Berget, and since he usually stayed in his residence and continued his training, he had no reason to hold a grudge against him.

Saaa—— A huge divine power blocked Dohun’s movements. He tried to generate divine power and escape from the restraints, but his body did not move at all. He had achieved a high rank and was in the ranks of a minister. But to be helplessly defeated like this!

[ Do you know the location of the Martial Gods? ]

Berget looked at Dohun with a calm expression and asked him a question right in front of his nose.

[ The location of the gods…? ]

[ Answer quickly, I don’t have time. ]

[ Are you talking about the gods belonging to the Mansinjeon? Or are you talking about those who are not affiliated? ]

[Tell me everything. Whether you belong to the Pantheon or not.]

Do-hun racked his brain, but then he realized that if he wasted too much time, this guy could really kill him, so he answered right away.

[ Only seven of them know the exact location. I don’t know if you know, but I’m not a very sociable person… If that’s okay, I’ll tell you. ]

He knew that he shouldn’t sell his personal information to others, but his life was in danger right now. Do-heun didn’t know what Berget was planning to do with the location of the gods, but the important thing was to not let Berget take his life.

Dohun handed over the locations of the gods to Berget. He looked at Berget as he handed over the information to him.

[ So… is it okay now? ]

[ no. ]

[ … ? ]

[ Then die . ]

[ Shit, shit… ! ]

Phew! Do-heun’s neck rose into the air.

He managed to move his body somehow by releasing divine power, but while running away, he was caught by Berget and his head was cut off.

He lost even the chance of revival because Berget’s hand pierced both his body and his divine origin at the same time.

Another god of war has been annihilated in space.

[ This time it’s seven. The harvest is small. ]

Berget briefly thought about the location information Dohun had handed over, then immediately memorized the coordinates in his head and used his divine power to teleport to another residence.

***

[Berzet is on the rampage. Have you all heard the news that he has been indiscriminately slaughtering the gods lately? It seems he has become a fanatic.]

[Fanatic? Are you saying that a transcendent being like Berget has lost his reason? When you reach that level, your mind will be forcibly fixed by the situation.]

[ If not, why would a guy who had been quietly training on his own planet be acting up like this? All the gods who belonged to the Mansinjeon have already died by his hands. It is clear that he has become a fanatic. ]

[ Hmm… Wasn’t that guy originally a crazy guy? ]

[ Even though he was mentally ill, he wasn’t a madman who slaughtered gods. ]

The Union of Spirits, a group of gods that only gods of higher rank can belong to. Among them, the gods of the highest rank suddenly brought up the story of Berget, who was indiscriminately slaughtering the gods.

[ The important thing is that the guy is going around slaughtering the gods. ]

[ … What’s the problem with that? ]

[Half of the top gods of Yeon-hon are non-gods. Of course, this is a problem.]

[ … … . ]

There were many gods belonging to Yeonhon.

Although it does not reach the level of the history of the Pantheon, it was because a god who worshipped martial arts created Yeonhon, and many other gods who admired it joined it, and the number of military gods increased.

And many of the gods currently attending the meeting were also gods of war. They felt a sense of crisis upon seeing Berget’s actions and participated in large numbers.

[ It is not clear whether he has become a fanatic. Berget is a god who has reached the highest level. Rather than thinking of him as crazy, it would be more reasonable to think that he is acting with a separate purpose. For example… the current ‘end’. ]

[ The End? Wasn’t that the Goddess of Dawn and Radiance? Wasn’t that why she forcibly took away the law of causality from the Pantheon? ]

Under the pretext of sharing the causality to prevent the apocalypse, the Pantheon borrowed (robbed) the causality that came from the divine power of the gods belonging to Yeonhon.

Yeonhon, who was weaker than the Pantheon, had no choice but to have his divine powers taken away, and so he was forced to join in preventing the end. Even if that hadn’t happened, they would have found a way of their own…

[ What do you think? Isn’t this a more likely story? ]

[ I see. But isn’t it more important to know why he goes around killing gods? Whatever the reason, the fact that he goes around killing gods doesn’t change. If not, find a way to survive from Berget. ]

Everyone was dumbfounded by the words of a god who was presiding over the meeting. He had been quietly listening to the other gods throughout the meeting, but then he suddenly stood up from his seat and spoke to everyone.

[ Everyone, wake up. Berget is considered one of the most powerful beings in this universe. I don’t know what his grand cause is, but I can’t lose my life in vain. We must either find out his intentions or stop him. Otherwise, all the gods here will be killed by him. ]

[ … But isn’t it still unclear what ‘everything’ he’s after? ]

[ So far, more than two hundred warriors have died to him. ]

When the host mentioned a specific number, the questioner became silent.

[ … … . ]

[If you killed two hundred, you will kill three hundred, and four hundred. Can you be sure that you will not be among them?]

[ I don’t think so. ]

[ Then discuss a plan to stop Berget. Don’t think about whether he has become a fanatic or not. Discuss a way to survive him! ]

As the host rebuked them, all the gods who had been arguing came to their senses.

but,

[ Kiya. There are a lot of people gathered here? How many people are there in total? I saved you the trouble of running around here and there. Everyone worked hard. ]

It’s already too late.

Why? Because Berget had appeared in the Soul Conference Hall. He was looking at the group of gods standing before him with a smile.

[Thirty at once. Nice.]

[ Be, Berget! ]

[ Ah, first of all… Could you answer the question? ]

[Question? What do you mean?]

[ A person who knows the location of the gods. Raise your hand. ]

Everyone was speechless at Berget’s words. Then he frowned and used his Tanjigong on one of the gods sitting in the conference room.

Pishuk—— Pukwaak——! A simple movement. He simply aimed his finger at the target, and in a split second, his brain recognized it and killed the target before he could move his body. It was a speed that even the highest-ranking transcendents could not recognize. They were startled by Berget’s power, which was stronger than they had expected, and began to murmur.

[ … I’ll tell you everything. So please just spare my life. Why don’t you just kill the other gods instead of us? ]

[ Hand it over for now . ]

Berget waved his hand and demanded that the information be handed over quickly, and the rest of the gods, seeing his power, somehow racked their brains and told Berget the coordinates of the locations of the gods they knew.

[ … … You have no intention of saving us. ]

When all the coordinates were passed on, a warrior who had read the murderous intent in Berget’s eyes opened his mouth.

[ Didn’t you say you’d spare me from the beginning? You didn’t even say you’d kill me. ]

Whee—— Berget’s hand moved from left to right as if drawing a straight line. Then, a red solid line was drawn on the bodies of all the gods in front of him. The Gods of Soul Love thought that even if they were Berget, they wouldn’t be able to handle dozens of them. However, before he died, he realized that it was an arrogant thought.

[Uh, ra…?]

[ Kkwaaa…! ]

[ I am not a god… but… . ]

Just one blow. With that one blow, the gods in the council chamber were split in half and died.
