Became the Weapon Monopolist of the Gods-Chapter 55: Three Sisters of Destiny

Prometheus's hazy eyes gave me a sense of dissonance, as if he was looking far away, not here.

It wasn't just a feeling.

He was actually looking far away, not at me.

'The one who thinks first.'

A prophet with foresight who sees the future and predicts the present.

He was a being who held the secrets of the world that even Zeus, the king of the gods, did not know.

Then he could tell me the answer to my question.

"I came to ask you something."

"Then release me."

I fired Napoleon's gun at the flock of eagles pecking at his liver.

Taang─! Taang─!

Kkwak, kkwak! The flock of eagles fled far away, screaming.

And then, I summoned my twin dragon swords and cut the iron chains that bound Prometheus to the rock.

There was no hesitation in my actions.

Prometheus's release was a given history.

When Hercules was on his 11th labor to retrieve Hera's golden apples, one of the many ways he found the clue was by freeing Prometheus.

Even though the subject changed, the quest tolerated it as long as it did not change a major historical event.

Above all, the fact that Prometheus, who could see into the future, permitted it gave legitimacy to my actions.

Clink─

The chains that had bound Prometheus for so long fell away.

They were chains that bound the gods, but those chains no longer contained Zeus's wrath.

Zeus forgave Prometheus in exchange for revealing one of the secrets of the world.

He had only been waiting for someone to come and free him.

When Prometheus was released, the chains that had bound him shrank into a small ring.

Prometheus said as he put the shrunken chain ring on his finger.

“The remnants of Typhon remain in the world, and they have changed his children.”

Typhon.

The chaos born from Tartarus, the father of all monsters.

The evil god who single-handedly brought Olympus to the brink of destruction.

The monster that was sealed under Mount Etna by Zeus was none other than Typhon.

Even though he was sealed underground, the essence of the evil god still remained in the world and influenced his children.

Because this was a parallel world away from the main story.

I was troubled when I learned the truth.

If Prometheus’ words were true, it would have been difficult for Hercules to defeat the Hydra.

The monster that Hercules could not completely defeat even with the help of his nephew was none other than the Hydra.

However, the Hydra was strengthened to the point where it had three more heads.

Even if Hercules defeated the strengthened Hydra, it was difficult to guarantee that he could overcome the remaining ten trials alone.

The monster Ladon guarding the golden apples and the guard dog Cerberus of Hell were stronger monsters than the Hydra.

Even if he could overcome the trials, it would take a long time.

He could not spend all those years with Hercules.

‘We must change the terms of the task.’

Zeus could not.

He knew everything, but he remained silent.

Hera was even worse.

She hated Hercules so much that she even cursed him with madness.

Aside from Zeus and Hera, is there a god who can change Hercules’ tasks?

‘A god who can change the laws set by the king of the gods.’

Is there such a god?

Even if there were, it was uncertain whether they would grant my request.

That was when I was so troubled by the problem at hand.

“Go and find the three sisters of fate.”

Prometheus told me.

‘... the three sisters of fate.’

The three sisters of fate that Prometheus was talking about were the Moirai.

The goddesses who managed the thread of life.

When the first, Clotho, spun the thread, the second, Lachesis, wound it, and when his life was over, the third, Atropos, cut it.

The fate they determined was absolute, so even Zeus, the king of the gods, could not go against the fate set by the three sisters.

The only beings in the world who were free from Zeus’ influence and could even overturn the rules he had set were the three sisters of fate, the Moirai.

However, the Moirai were not people you could find just by looking for them.

They existed in a conceptual place called ‘the garden where fate intertwines’, not a physical space.

“How do I find them?”

“You’ll find out soon.”

Prometheus put his hand on my shoulder and smiled.

As if it was a thank you for freeing him.

When the smile faded, Prometheus had already disappeared.

Kkwak— Kkwak—

Only the flock of eagles that had returned circled the rock where Prometheus had disappeared.

“I didn’t ask about Hera’s madness.”

That’s okay, Jeanne will take care of it.

After getting the answer, I went down the rocky mountain.

I had to meet the three sisters of fate.

*

When I returned after meeting Prometheus, Hercules was touching the Nemean lion skin in the residence prepared by King Mycaea.

Hercules tried to cut the hide by force, but the hide showed no sign of cutting.

I gave Hercules some advice.

“If you use the guy’s claws, it will cut.”

“The lion’s claws?”

“Yes.”

To cut the Nemean lion’s hide, you have to use the guy’s claws.

The hide is so hard to scratch with an ordinary sword, but the lion’s own claws went in.

In the myth, Hercules was unable to cut the hide for several days before he succeeded in cutting it with the lion’s claws.

Finally, Hercules pulled out the lion’s claws and forcefully cut the hide, and his eyes lit up.

“Wow, really.”

“How are you feeling?”

“I definitely feel better.”

Hercules’ amber pupils, which had been filled with madness, had become quite clear.

The madness was still lurking, but it wasn’t to the extent that we couldn’t communicate like before.

These past few days, Jeanne had purified Hera’s madness.

“Jeanne, Vanessa.”

I summoned the two and asked each of them a favor.

“Seojun, did you go well?”

“Yes, it went well. More importantly, I’d like you to purify Hercules.”

“Understood.”

I turned to Vanessa after asking Jeanne to purify Hercules.

“Vanesha.”

“Can I make you clothes with the leather?”

“Just enough to cover you up. You know that, Hercules.”

“What about the benefactor?”

“I’ll receive it as a reward later, so it’s fine.”

Honestly, I wondered if I could use it even if I received it.

The Nemean Lion was the child of the evil god Typhon. Since it was the skin of such a monster, it was far from ordinary.

The curse of the demon was difficult, so even if it was only slightly affected, it was poison to humans.

It was a demon that was difficult to purify even with Jeanne’s power, so even if she received it, she had to handle it carefully.

Since it was as big as Hercules, she could wear it without any problems.

‘It hasn’t even been relictized yet.’

More than that, she wondered how she would meet the three sisters of fate.

Prometheus said she would find out naturally soon, but the hunt for the ‘Hydra’ was just around the corner.

Hercules seemed ready to leave as soon as he put on the lion skin.

At least she was holding him back under the pretext of purifying his madness.

‘Tomorrow at the earliest.’

Sand at the latest.

Hercules would leave for the Lerna Swamp to catch the Hydra.

Before that, she had to meet the three sisters of fate somehow.

So I fell asleep, wondering how I could keep Hercules.

And... ... .

─68 years.

─I’ve done my share. Let’s cut it.

─Yeah. Got it.

I opened my ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) eyes to the sound of someone squealing.

The scenery reflected on my retina was quite disconcerting.

I had clearly just fallen asleep inside the store.

It was indoors, not outdoors... ... .

“.......”

When I opened my eyes, what I saw was the Milky Way.

‘The Milky Way?’

The sea of ​​stars, densely packed, seemed close enough to fall down at any moment.

Suddenly, I looked down and saw another Milky Way spread out below.

When I looked around again, I saw a clear lakeside covered in a hazy mist.

A strange and mysterious space that I couldn’t define.

─I have to cut it.

─Apollo asked me to save him.

─Will he be able to find a replacement?

─Let’s wait and see. ─Yeah.

Sukdeok sukdeok.

The chattering was coming from beyond the lakeside.

In front of the Spinner of Fate, three beautiful women were handling the threads of life.

The moment I saw them, I knew that this was the ‘Garden of Fate’, the dwelling place of the Moirai.

─ You will soon find out naturally.

Prometheus, who grabbed my shoulder and smiled kindly.

The god who created humans.

He had brought me to the Garden of Fate where the Moirai resided.

I thanked Prometheus inwardly and got up from my seat.

Not even realizing that I had come in, the three sisters were weaving threads as usual in front of the Spinner of Fate.

Clotho spun the thread of life, Lachesis bestowed fate, and Atropos cut the thread to announce the end.

The movement of the world was determined by the hands of the three sisters.

Suddenly, I saw a thread far away from Clotho’s feet.

It must have been the fate of someone Clotho accidentally dropped.

However, even Moirai’s ‘mistake’ was ‘fate’.

I approached Moirai with the dropped thread.

Only then did the three sisters realize that a stranger had entered their garden and turned to look at me.

“Who is it?”

“How did you get in here?”

“I can sense the energy of Prometheus.”

“I dropped the thread.”

I showed them the dropped thread. The three sisters’ eyes widened.

“Clotho, did you drop the thread?”

“I have to measure the length again.”

“But how did that human touch the thread?”

“How did he touch it?”

It seemed that the ‘thread of fate’ of that spinning machine was something that only the three sisters could touch.

But.

“I don’t feel my destiny.”

“Really. There’s no thread.”

“How can this be?”

The three sisters looked at me with surprised expressions.

Then they started to search the spinning wheel here and there as if they were looking for my thread.

But they never found my thread of destiny.

In a way, it was natural.

Since my thread of destiny from a parallel world couldn’t possibly be in this world’s Moirai.

To them, I would be seen as a heretic who had escaped the spinning wheel of destiny.

Not subject to the rules of destiny.

“I have a favor to ask.”

The three sisters, who were still sagely exchanging opinions, were wary of me.

“I’ll give you that much since you gave me the thread.”

“That’s as much as you gave me. No more.”

“Don’t touch the spinning wheel.”

“Please let me help you with the 12 labors of Hercules.”

The three sisters hesitated at my answer.

“Hercules?”

“Son of Zeus?”

“Hera?”

Then they began to discuss.

“Can’t we make it longer?”

“Yes, I think so.”

“That human picked up the thread. We can just measure the entire length again.”

The Sukdeokim continued much longer than before.

But I wasn’t worried.

The Moirai were goddesses who had escaped Zeus’ influence.

Because it was a fate that no one could resist.

As expected.

“I will allow those who have escaped the thread to participate in the task.”

“But only those who have no thread.”

“We can’t do more than that because the thread will get tangled.”

“Understood.”

“Then you can leave now.”

“Goodbye.”

“It was nice meeting you.”

My vision became blurry.

─Remember. It’s just help. The subject must be Hercules.

The warning of Moirai rang in my ears.

When I opened my eyes again, I had already returned to the store. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

I thought it was a dream, but soon realized it wasn't.

"The task has changed."

That morning, when Hercules came, the first thing I said.
