Distributing Legacy
How does the Thunder God feel when a thunderbolt is stolen right in front of his eyes? I don’t know, but if it’s more than the emotions Uraehoeju feels, it will be more, not less.
The feelings Uraehoeju felt after seeing the thunderbolt were neither anger nor betrayal. It was a perplexity. Even stealing is ridiculous if you’re so confident. You’ve learned a lesson, regressor.
The thunderbolt flowed backwards through the cloud waterfall and flowed into the god of thunder. The thunder god’s new form, which had been hacked up by a branch of a thunderbolt, faded for a moment. It’s like going away like this. Uraehoeju looked at the god of thunder and said.
“Usually, the Thunder God would have retreated after receiving the returned lightning. However.”
The present Thunder God only faded for a moment, but did not disappear. The Thunder God, whose color had become much lighter, looked this way for a moment before disappearing under the cloud waterfall.
“Because you interrupted me, I will be back soon. What did you do on your own? Do you have any excuses?”
“It’s not even an excuse.”
The regressor easily jumped down from the wheel and said.
“If you want to kill the Thunder God, you have to call it here first, right? I won’t be coming for a while after I send them all, so I want to cut down on wasting time.”
“You are full of confidence.”
“Because I can.”
‘I tried it in the previous episode.’
The regressor’s sociability is so excellent that he can risk his life against someone he just met today. Even more so, if he committed robbery right in front of his eyes, it would not be strange if he became the enemy of Daecheon.
‘You are confident. He, too, seems to be a chosen human like us.’
Surprisingly, however, the Lord of Thunder quite liked the proud regressor. Even though half of the city’s accumulated power was devoured, it was still smiling like a hukou.
It remains surprising that there are people in the world who are compatible with regressors.
Rainhoeju spoke kindly to the children who guarded the lightning tower.
“Jerry. TV. Alka. Great job. We need to restore the lightning tower, so please contact the repair center.”
“Yes, yes!”
The children bowed their heads to the thunderstorm as if they were happy, and hurried toward the elevator. Uraehoeju looked at the children until they completely disappeared and said.
“Because it was consumed once, there are not many lightning bolts left in the wheel. If you don’t kill the Thunder God, Claudia will suffer great damage. From the moment you stole the thunderbolt, like it or not, we have no choice but to cooperate with you.”
“But if you kill the thunder god, Claudia will be at peace forever, right? Isn’t that a gamble worth taking?”
At the shameless answer of the regressor, Ureahoeju smiled.
“You mean that even a human like me must gamble to kill a god? hehehe, it’s been a while since my blood is boiling.”
Muttered, Thunderstorm stepped on the lightning tower. The power of the thunder that stretched from the top of her head ran down her lightning tower down her feet. Returning to her usual self by shaking her long hair, Wu Lehuiju pointed at her regressor while coldly sinking her eyes.
“If it’s a gamble, I’ll accept it. Because I can’t get tired of it. However, you should take an equal risk.”
“What about risk?”
“Let’s stop all discussion until we kill the Thunder God. Truce or whatever, including everything.”
Wow. Wait for a sec.
Of course, it’s fortunate that I didn’t immediately rush to kill the lightning robber, but no matter how hard I tried, killing the thunder god wouldn’t be that easy. But wouldn’t it be a little difficult to stop all discussion….
To put my concerns to shame, the regressor readily answered.
“Look forward to it.”
“Don’t expect too much!”
After hearing all of her story, Hilde stamped her feet and shouted.
“What the hell! Shay, are you thinking of stopping the war?”
The regressor answered calmly.
“Of course. As long as I block the Thunder God, Thunderstorm will actively support anything. Negotiations will work out better.”
“What kind of negotiation is that! It’s not a negotiation to expect that you will do it with affection! Flattery! Why are you trying to wrap a gift you didn’t want? Are you even dating Woo Ree-joo?”
“What? It can’t be!”
“It can’t be! On the topic of liking men!”
The regressor replied puzzled at the sudden point.
“That doesn’t really matter. I just thought that it would be easier to get help in the future if I fulfilled Uraehoeju’s secret wish.”
“Shay, you don’t know a thing about politics, do you? The leader of the thunderstorm is also in charge of a city? If you have a little debt, where is the guarantee that you will help unconditionally? Help first?”
“Then what should I have done?”
“You should have set conditions in advance, received a promise to give more, and then removed the god of thunder as if you were benevolent! You might not get what you want if you rely only on favors!”
From the standpoint of the military, Hilde is right. She is always in the position of the military.
But the regressor snorted at her and answered.
“Thunderbolt is not a military state, but ‘me’. You have no right to demand payment for it. Because if I give, I give.”
She has been together for the sake of an armistice agreement with the nations until now. But the regressor is essentially not on the side of any country, and in the case of militarized countries more than any other country. If an army and a country fight, he will gladly take the other side.
… And when Hilde noticed that, her face hardened softly. Hiding her true heart, which she had only revealed a little bit so far, inside the mask, ‘Hilde’ played herself and said.
“Hmm~. It seems that the army has grown too hateful to be Shay’s friend.”
“Of course not. We were enemies in the first place. The military government even put me in prison.”
“I know~. Since there was affection in the past, I did it just in case. It must have been ‘my’ misunderstanding.”
Hilde shrugged her shoulders as if she lost interest and headed somewhere.
“Hilde? Where are you going?”
“She doesn’t seem to have anything to depend on Shay, so she’s going to collect information in a dismal manner like a militant country.”
The regressor was puzzled when he saw Hilde walking away waving her hand without any regrets. The regressor pointed to her Hilde and said.
“What is that? Are you upset?”
“Yes. Maybe.”
“Sheesh, narrow-minded.”
“You are short-tempered.”
“What?”
“That’s not important right now. Mr. Shay. What is that just now? Are you really a brain god?”
The regressor, who was looking at me suspiciously, shrugged her shoulders and replied.
“Did you notice it roughly? That’s right. It’s not a drunkenness, and it’s not really a brain god. It looks very scary and powerful on the outside, but it is still the image of thunderclouds and thunderbolts. It does not go beyond the level of the thunderbolt we commonly know.”
“Then it’s a scam.”
“It’s not a scam. At least fear of lightning, or a false idol created by faith. As powerful as the thunderbolt is, that Thunder God has power enough to be afraid of.”
… False idol? Wait for a sec.
I asked, pushing the spade card a little further in.
“A false idol?”
“You know. A being that embodies human fear. Unlike demons, you have power that comes from ignorance and fear, not from knowledge, right? Like the wolf king or the vampire, for example.”
“Ah, that’s it.”
He nodded and agreed. Oh, that’s what you’re talking about.
“Vampires were originally only blood-sculpting, right? However, fighting against Seonghwangcheong and becoming a symbol of fear, I gained the power to deal with darkness. Likewise, the wolf was only one of the common beasts, but because of its widespread ferocity, it has become a foe of man. Just like that, that Thunder God is also an existence created by Claudia’s awe.”
‘It’s a story I heard directly from Seonghwangcheong, so I’m sure. Because he said that while handing me a cherry blossom and a jizan.’
I was dubious about it, but with this it became clear.
Seonghwangcheong’s children, you openly slandered the returnees.
This is not to say that the regressor is wrong. In fact, after humans became the rulers of the earth, strange things happened in the world. A species of beast gained power so great that it changed the world at will, making the earth like a man’s plaything.
A representative example is the King of Beasts. One of those strange things is that the king of beasts, who should have been the representative of a species, changed into a human form. In fact, since such things happen all over the world, what the regressor says is the truth.
Still, the Seonghwangcheong shouldn’t say such a thing. You are the main culprit!
Anyway. I said with a sigh of relief.
“I’m glad. I knew that I would have another conflict with a monster like the Golden Goblet.”
“That can’t be. Lightning is not a drinker. That’s just a phenomenon.”
“hahahaha. I don’t know that either. A demon might pop out from somewhere.”
“Let’s sell our worries. There can’t be that many drinkers in the world, right?”
… I know. I mean, that’s how it should be.
The regressor assured me with a confident face.
“Anyway. You can take your mind off this one. ‘Cause I can do it all You are at least sightseeing.”
“The most unreliable words in the world….”
I’m anxious, but I don’t have anything urgent to do right now. Because I won’t be able to grapple with clouds.
Shall we take a tour of the Cloud City? I went out with a more relaxed attitude.
Claudia had a unique structure with buildings huddled under a tall lightning tower. Among them, the 1st Lightning Tower, where the Lord of Thunders resided, was not only the largest, but also monopolized all the power of thunder provided by the Thundermill.

I was thinking of taking a look inside the lightning tower, but I found Peru there. Peru was troubled as she was surrounded by her hounds who had followed her.
“When will you give money to oppressors?”
“Isn’t it like dragging on like this and not giving it to you in the end?”
“… That. Because of the Thunder God, Lord of Thunder is busy.”
“Do you think we are fools? We grew up in Claudia too! Isn’t the visit of the god of thunder an annual event!”
“Can’t hand you anything for a while? Is there any difference between not giving it to me!”
The wildcats clamored for the legacy of oppressive society. However, now that there are many things to worry about, Peru has no time to worry about that. In the first place, now that the country’s survival is at stake, that legacy is pushed out of priority.
So all the more, the wildcats argued and listened like hungry beasts. If I don’t get it right away, I’m afraid the possibility will gradually diminish.
Tsk. I, who have the sensibility of a petit bourgeois, understand the hearts of those wild cats. Still, I clicked her tongue and approached her. As I approached Peru, who was at a loss, she secretly welcomed me. If I can’t speak, I have to use my strength, but I try not to use it, so it’s like this.
“Did you see that, Peru? What did I say?”
“… Uh?”
When it comes to acting, the best opponent is someone who doesn’t talk. Because I can lead the story the way I want. I said, scratching my head in annoyance.
“Those wildcats aren’t helpful, but they’ll only cause trouble anyway, so you said you’d kill them all before Claudia arrives. I refused, saying there was no need to do that, but it became a nuisance after all.”
“… ?”
Peru tilted her head. Because it was the first time. Of course, her reaction is natural. Because it’s the first thing I’m saying today.
“Ooh, kill us?”
However, the seungnyang who heard the story of the lightning strike were instilled with some manners only then, and saved themselves.
