I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

Dealing with a good kid who doesn't like to bother others requires a special skill, you can't say that doing it will do her any good, but you have to say why you have to do it.

"Noble or something, I don't think...but if you think it will make you feel better, then my punishment is to ask you to build a temple for me."

Lady Goddess originally wanted to reject Seleus's request, but after seeing his firm eyes and thinking that she must find something to do in this desolate underworld so as not to be bored to the point of going crazy, Ereshkigal nodded and agreed to build Temple business.

"The purpose is considered complete, and the construction of the temple will begin next."

Looking at the two lonely stone pillars, Serius sighed silently in his heart.

Gods need temples. Although I don’t know who stipulated this point, every god that Seleus saw had his own temple. If the two stone pillars in front of him can be regarded as temples.

Since the temple was built for the industrious Ereshkigal, Seleus didn't consider using his almost instinctive creative power. Instead, he used a battle ax to split the rocks of the underworld bit by bit, and then slowly polished them into a temple. building materials.

The shape of the temple is based on Jigurat of Uruk, but considering the size of the goddess, Seleus needs to redesign the structure of the temple.It's a job that's going to take a long time, but the last thing the immortal Seleus needs is time...if the world doesn't reject him.

"It's boring to work alone, can you listen to me tell some stories, Lord Ereshkigal."

Even when he started to build the temple, Seleus did not forget his original purpose. From the corner of his eyes, the goddess who couldn't hear the story seemed very disappointed.

"if you are willing to."

......

"Are you born from the river of Styx in another god system? The Pluto there is your adoptive father, no wonder you said that immortality is a very important blessing to you... that, I'm really sorry I didn't figure it out before... um ? Don't you need an apology?"

"You said your name means courage, why would your adoptive father think you need courage?"

"What are the Hades in other worlds like? Don't you need to build a gun prison?"

"The ones in Greece have no cold wind, the ones in Egypt are in the sky, and the ones in Northern Europe are cruel but lively...I understand, I feel that the underworld of Sumer is more suitable for me, but it would be great if it can bloom here..."

"What do I think? Although I really want to look outside, but judging by the appearance of other gods, there should be no one who can take over my job..."

Although the goddess was very restrained at first, after getting to know her well, she talked more and more. When she heard something of interest, she couldn't help but interrupt Seleus and ask for clarification.

They were chatting, and even forgot the purpose of telling the story at the beginning. While weaving the gun prison, the goddess asked her partner what she was interested in; Serius answered with a smile while polishing the building materials. The Goddess has all kinds of problems, time is slowly passing by unconsciously...

The foundation was built, and all the building materials were prepared. Even Seleus spent a lot of time building a temple that fit Ereshkigal's body shape.

"You mean you want me to tell my story again, without pausing or looking back at you."

When Seleus finished building the ladder, Ereshkigal behind him suddenly made such a request.

"I just want to see if the construction of the temple can end with the story after you tell the story."

Ereshkigal's request is a bit inexplicable, and her own behavior is also somewhat abnormal. The diligent goddess will actually put down her work, and then sit in front of the temple and watch Seleus build her temple.

Seleus agreed to her request, as if he didn't see her abnormality.

"I was born from the River Styx, Lord Hades adopted me, and sent me to the wisest teacher in Greece to learn various skills...

......

...and then I came to this underworld. "

After setting up the last stone slab on the top of the temple, Seleus wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead with satisfaction.

"Ailey, can I go back?"

Seleus asked his companions, but there was no response for a long time.

"Ellie?"

Looking back, Seleus didn't find that huge figure. Even in the boundless underworld, only he and the temple were left, and there was a big sword shining with the power of thunder.

"As expected..."

There is always an end to the story, and God and man will say goodbye eventually.The only remaining temple in the underworld is continued because of the existence of Seleus, while the rest have already returned to the inner side of the world with their masters...

"You are so kind, Ereshkigal."

The huge crimson ripples opened, and then slowly filled the temple built by Serius.

"Although I can understand your intentions, I still have some complaints in my heart." Seeing that the crimson ripples had installed all the temples in, Seleus smiled with satisfaction.

"Look forward to the surprise when we meet next time, my lord goddess..."

Chapter 1 contract

"The world, have you rejected me?"

The big obsidian-like hand lightly touched the shining star in front of it, but it bounced away unexpectedly.

"Sumer is already the primitive age of the gods. After staying there for a period of time, I naturally couldn't adapt to other worlds far away from the age of gods... It should be said that other worlds couldn't adapt to my existence."

Serius returned to the space full of nothingness and chaos, looking helplessly at the countless stars surrounding him.

Yes, countless stars around him.

The last time Serius came to this space, he could only look at these shining objects obscured by the energy of chaos from a distance, but this time, he could easily hold these stars in his hands.

"The stars will not shrink for no reason, which shows that even if I don't feel it myself, my body has indeed expanded to an unimaginable level."

If you want to enter a world that you can grasp in the palm of your hand, it is natural to be rejected.

"What should I do next? I can't do anything in this empty space, and I have to be careful not to touch these stars."

The crimson eyes approached the stars one by one, and Seleus was looking for something to relieve his boredom.

"Um?!"

Seleus suddenly noticed that a star lost its brilliance, became very dim and slowly fell into pieces.

"If you just leave it alone, these stars will definitely disappear completely into this nothingness, without leaving even a trace."

Different from the previous anger, Seleus, who has grown up, can calmly accept everything in front of him, but the destruction of the world still makes him feel very sad.

"Is there anything I can do? For these ruined worlds."

Stretching out his hand to hold up the fragmented star carefully, the impulse in his heart made Seleus want to do something for this world, even if it was just to comfort himself.

"That's right! That's right! I still have my gun, the branch of that World Tree."

Seleus took out his Meteor Spear, which was made from the branches of the world tree Uktrasir and still possessed the vitality from the origin of the world.

According to Serius' wish, the spear turned into a seed, and under the infusion of its master's divine power, it grew into a majestic tree of life full of hope.

Serius didn't know how tall his tree was. After all, he couldn't even determine his own height, and it was pointless to look for an exact number in this empty space.

But what Seleus can be sure of is that the branches and leaves of this tree have completely surpassed the surrounding stars.

Seleus placed the shattered star in his hand on the branches of the tree—the only thing he could think of doing.

Even though the destruction of these worlds is irreversible, Serius still hopes to keep these existing worlds. Even if this action itself has no meaning, at least he can remember that such a world existed, right?

"If this world still has a little consciousness, knowing that I, who is destined to disappear, will be kept by a nosy guy, I should be happy... Shouldn't I?"

Seleus muttered to himself, he didn't know if the world would like him to do this, but he couldn't just watch the world slowly dissipate without leaving any traces.

The Meteor Tree began to shake slightly. It seemed that even if the small world was destroyed, it would have an unimaginable weight. The transformed Serius could easily pick it up, but it did not mean that the branches of a World Tree could be lifted by Its own personality carries the world, even if it contains a lot of Celestial power in its body.

"A meteor gun is really not enough?"

Without any hesitation, Seleus took out his longbow Ieus, and turned it into the original sun power into the Meteor Tree.

The Meteor Tree, which received the power of the unified divinity, began to grow again. Its roots growing in nothingness became more powerful, and its branches and leaves could firmly wrap the broken world and maintain its existence.

Only then did Serius nodded in satisfaction. He was about to search for other broken worlds and bring them back to the Meteor Tree before they dissipated.

But just as he was about to leave, his keen right eye noticed that the vitality of the Meteor Tree would slowly dissipate due to the contact with the chaos.

"It's a problem, but it's not hard to fix."

Taking out the last weapon in the body, the sword of Olympus, which was shining with thunder, was turned into a protective barrier to protect the Meteor Tree by Serius, protecting the safety of the Meteor Tree when he was not around.

"That way you'll be safe."

After doing all this, the reassuring Seleus began to search for the destroyed world in this nothingness. He wanted to preserve the wreckage of these worlds and the traces of their existence, even though he didn't know it himself. What's the point of doing this.

......

"There is one here, which seems to have just been destroyed, and it is very well preserved..."

"This time there are two, and one of them almost dissipated completely. If my right eye is not sharp enough, I wouldn't be able to see it at all..."

"I seem to be able to vaguely see what is happening in these worlds, has my power completed another transformation..."

"The body on the left has already begun to transform into a dragon, and the dragon scales full of despair have turned into my armor..."

"Although I can't see it, my left eye should have turned into a dragon pupil..."

"A world with swastika flags flying everywhere, it's no wonder that it will be destroyed, but this makes me very tangled, should I keep this world..."

"The left head has grown a dragon horn, and the pair of dragon wings behind me can already support my body. Is it time to fall into eternal sleep..."

"No! No! Can't get close to those wonderful worlds...I will bring them despair..."

"Be careful! Be careful..."

"I should be able to hold on for a while..."

......

How long has it been since Seleus planted the Meteor Tree?

century?

millennium?

Or ten thousand years?

It is meaningless to look for precise numbers in nothingness, because there is no such concept in this space.

Seleus's current situation is much better than he expected.

I originally thought that my body would slowly start to transform into a dragon's posture after the dragon's wings grew, but even though the armor transformed into dragon scales had completely wrapped him up, Seleus' figure was still that of a person standing upright. shape.

"It's better to enter eternal sleep. Although my will can still control my body, I am still worried that I will slowly transform into that desperate beast."

At this moment, Serius was leaning against the meteor tree he had planted himself, quietly observing the worlds he had preserved on the leaves.

After being watered by Celius' divine power for a long time, the size of this tree has far surpassed that of Serius as its master.

"Go to sleep, for the world that is still shining..."

Looking at the shining stars in the distance with some nostalgia, Serius closed his eyes silently.It was precisely because of the incomparable love in his heart that he had to choose eternal sleep.

'Is it really good to just enter eternal sleep like this? '

The closed eyes were opened suddenly, and Serius, who quickly entered a state of alert, looked around for the source of the sound.

"Who?!"

Not aware of hostility, not aware of the source, Serius could only vaguely perceive the owner of the voice as if he felt very kind.

And he seems to have encountered this kind of intimacy somewhere.

'We are the restraint, the world's prayers to avoid destruction and prolong life. '

"The...repression of the world?"

It was hard for Celius to believe that the world that had lost its brilliance and was destroyed was already covered with leaves of the Meteor Tree. If it was just an existence in the 'world', it would be impossible to hide from his perception.

'It's not what you see (possibility), but the [world] in the true sense that integrates all of these. '

"The [world] in the real sense?"

'Back to the topic, are you really willing to fall into eternal sleep like this? '

"So what if you don't want to be reconciled, don't your restraints not understand the harm I may bring? And whether it's for the purpose of prolonging life or avoiding destruction, it seems that I will be more beneficial to you if I fall into eternal sleep."

Seleus has doubts about the existence of the self-proclaimed 'restraint', as he said, if their purpose is really the same as they say, it is impossible to persuade Seleus to change his will.

'Indeed, as you said, a self-sealed 'beast' is more beneficial to us, but you are a special existence. '

"Am I a special existence? By the way, rebirth and time travel, so it seems that I am indeed special." To be honest, if there is no reminder of restraint, Seleus himself will almost forget his origin.

'Your uniqueness allows us to deal with your existence in a way that is more beneficial to us. '

"You mean..."

'Make a pact with us that we will preserve your body and make your will fulfill your wishes in a special way.You can throw away this despair, you can also get together with your family and friends, you can even truly fulfill your original wish, as long as...'

"So, what's the price?"

Serius does not believe that there is a free lunch in the world. If he really wants to help him, he should have appeared before he started to transform into a dragon, instead of facing it with a seemingly superior attitude like now. He was cornered.
