Chapter 180
180goddess of fate
It is bound to be rare for Leon to go out in person to meet someone..
He is not just a citizen or knight, but a king. Because the king is someone who has an audience with someone, he can never be the other way around..
But even here, if we consider our own level, the opposite case can also be true..
For example, when going to meet a king of the same level. It can be said that the route to meet President Andong-gil or Prime Minister Ahn Dong-gil is also suitable for him. Aside from the difference in power,.
The basic premise is that Leon also goes to meet an equal being. But there are exceptions among exceptions..
Even he, the Lion-Hearted King, has someone who is an ‘object of audience’..
"Is it here??"
A diplomatic car carrying Leon and Deputy Donald stopped in front of a famous luxury hotel..
"Yes, please wait in the room and I will tell you to bring him right away.."
Deputy Director Donald was delighted at the thought of having Leon at the negotiating table..
'We, the United States, can give more than any other country to attract the pantheon..'
That is the power of America and the power of the most blessed country on earth..
Of course, there will be friction with the Korean government in this process, but the White House has already been ordered to secure a superpower called Leon by any means necessary..
"Your Majesty, I have to tell you once again that we, the United States, earnestly hope to welcome you and your pantheon.."
With that said, Deputy Director Donald handed out a document..
"Do you have immigration documents??"
"Yes, not just your majesty, but anyone under your command. If you wish, the United States will accept it even if an entire city is relocated. And we will establish Your Majesty’s own independent Lionheart Kingdom in the location of Your Majesty’s choosing.."
"······."
Leon thought that the other person seemed quite confident..
I don't know if it's just a matter of meeting a god from another world, but there may be something more to it than that..
Of course, even just the site of the independent kingdom of Lionheart is a huge proposition in a modern democratic country..
And he was implying that the pantheon and himself were worth it..
"This is not the bottom of the market."
"yes? Oh, if I made any mistake······."
"It is a place to have an audience with God. You need to keep your mind clean with a godly attitude. This is not the right place to ask for a deal.."
"Well, I see. Excuse me."
Deputy Donald Cooper tried to avoid an awkward situation by telling people to hurry and get out of the car..
"Do you know the name or disposition of that god??"
"Ah, Goddess Meriel... Oh my, her divine name is Meriel. He is the goddess of fate."
"goddess of fate?"
"After the cataclysm, a survivor gate was opened in our United States.."
What a black gate. Every time the Black Gate appeared, millions of people died or the country was destroyed, so the U.S. authorities prepared with all their might to attack the gate..
"But the person who actually came out of there was a woman.."
She called herself Meriel, the goddess of fate..
"It is also thanks to Meriel that our United States of America succeeded in rebuilding the fastest after the cataclysm.."
"He must be a god with great power.."
"I don't mean to be helpless like your majesty, but the power of God is amazing.."
[What do you think??]
Leon answered in his heart to the voice of goddess Ariana, who asked what was on his mind..
'Shouldn't we meet once and see?.'
Even if it wasn't Lionheart, there were other gods..
The beast gods were like that, and the orc gods were also truly powerful..
There were many gods in the world of Leon alone, and there is no way that Earth's Yahweh or Allah could be fake..
Also, it was fully assumed that a god from another world, like Leon, would come to Earth..
Soon, an unspoken energy flowed through the crack in the door. A powerful magical energy that I felt a while ago. I realized that it was the energy of the Deputy Director of the Hunter Management Bureau and those who guard the goddess..
"Long time no see, Your Majesty Lionheart.."
"Long time no see."
They were Allen Taylor and Minuteman, S-class hunters from America's largest hunter guild Maverick..
Leaders of the hunter raid team dispatched by the U.S. military at Yonggung Gate in the East Sea last year.
"Have you trained enough so far?."
"Haha, after all this, I am most passionate about spreading the pantheon.."
They had the experience of succumbing to the demonic energy of Rakshar, the Demon Prince of Chaos. Thanks to Leon, he came to his senses, but after apologizing deeply, he served as a public relations ambassador for the Pantheon in the United States..
Leon was not an unfamiliar person as Yappy had been in touch with him occasionally..
'Anyway, it seems like they care enough about safety to have someone like this as their guard..'
Soon after securing safety, the two hunters brought a young woman with white and fair skin into the room..
Leon's head bowed at the clear aura of sacred power felt in the platinum-colored hair that did not seem to belong to a human..
"I meet the god of this world."
Leon, who recognized at a glance that she was truly a goddess, showed courtesy as a mortal. It is an attitude that will surprise those who know the secrets of the King of Lion Hearts..
"You recognize it right away.."
The woman smiled happily..
"Even though he is wearing a human mask, he is not so bad that he cannot recognize the energy of God.."
"But I am a god from a different world than the god you serve. I felt lucky if I didn't face any hostility.."
"The only being I am against is evil. I do not reject it because it is a heresy.."
[I envy the gods that King Leon serves. Such vivid paradise and divinity!.]
Then, Meriel spoke in a voice that mortals could not hear. The only ones who can hear that voice are the pantheon of gods within Leon and Leon..
[Hmm, I thought I might have lost my divinity because I was wearing a human mask, but it seems not to that extent..]
Ariana came forward and answered. If she wants a conversation between the gods, she can oblige..
[Yes, because we never had someone like King Leon. It is your blessing to have met such a believer..]
[What are you thinking??]
Meriel smiled brightly at Ariana’s question..
[I just spoke to you out of pleasure. But this also ends here. Children are anxious.]
Meriel's gaze turned to Deputy Director Donald, who looked somewhat nervous..
It definitely feels like there's some conversation going on between the two, but since I can't hear it, I can't help but feel anxious..
"Then Deputy Director Donald. Could you please introduce me?."
"ah! Yes, yes! Your Majesty, this is Goddess Meriel. She was originally the goddess of fate in the world.."
It was a story we all knew, but the fact that it was introduced by Deputy Director Donald was important..
"It is thanks to Goddess Meriel's 'foreknowledge' that our United States recovered from the damage the fastest from the cataclysm and is still doing well to this day.."
"prognosis?"
After the cataclysm occurred, many countries collapsed and perished..
The initial gate attack failed, resulting in a leak of magic energy and contamination of the ground. From the collapse of the global food economy to the security threat of wild monsters..
It is no exaggeration to say that the early stages of the cataclysm were hell, and it took many countries dozens of years to recover from this situation..
Meanwhile, the United States recovered from the damage of the cataclysm faster than any other country, and easily responded to high-level gates that were opened by surprise and all kinds of abnormalities..
"Is that the power of wisdom??"
"That's right. Meriel can see future fate and prevent it.."
For example, what threats there might be inside the dangerous red gate, the appearance of the variable gate that has caused the lives of countless hunters, etc..
Goddess Meriel sensed the threat and warned the U.S. government, and the benefits the U.S. gained as a result were beyond imagination..
"Indeed, but what is the meaning of Jim's immigration to America and the goddess's protection??"
"Meriel has the power to ‘confirm’ fate.."
"confirming fate?"
"yes."
Deputy Director Donald pulled out several documents and gave examples..
It was proof that there was a certain 'foresight' in selecting several hunters... to be exact, only S-class hunters representing the United States, and that this foresight was definitely correct..
"Indeed, it is a power that not only allows foresight but also confirms foresight.."
"That's right. In essence, the future can be changed by even the slightest action.."
However, Meriel had the power to select and confirm that foresight. In other words, it is a powerful miracle of God that can save strength, opportunity, and even life..
Leon's pantheon and its gods were a powerful force that shook the world to its core, but the power of Goddess Meriel was also strong enough..
There is just a difference in scale, but isn't her power also the power to change the world?.
"Your Majesty, if you move to our United States and form an alliance, we can lend Meriel's power to you first.."
"Renting a god is shameless.!"
Deputy Director Donald lowered his head in response to Leon's shouting. But Meriel smiled brightly and cooled Leon's anger..
"I am in partnership with the United States government. For my own safety, I am not revealing my existence, but in exchange for my help, they decided to build a temple with me as their god.."
"In return for Goddess Meriel lending her strength first??"
"Hehe, that’s right.."
"What if they betray? Humans are capable of betraying even God for political reasons.."
As the Empire was like that, Leon was wary of human indulgence. But Goddess Merry El still smiled brightly and answered,.
"You should be angry then."
"······!"
It was Deputy Director Donald who shuddered at those words..
Anger alone without power is meaningless. But how wonderful are the gods?.
If the United States were to break its promise without any hesitation after all matters were resolved, the wrath of God and the resulting risk could not be calculated..
The U.S. government had no intention of taking that risk..
"Haha, no need to worry. We, the United States of America, are not a rogue country like Russia or Iran.."
A reasonable price is paid for the transaction. As the most capitalist country on earth, the calculations are clear in this regard..
"Today... I would like to give you a gift for our first meeting.."
"A gift... you mean??"
"Yes, I will seal one thing for you. I just hope that King Leon remembers that after using this power, it will be difficult for a while.."
Goddess Meriel did not make any comments demanding compensation from Leon. This is because I know that Leon considers the faith of serving God with the promise of compensation to be shallow..
The relationship between their gods and believers makes it a virtue to achieve natural harmony with each other. A relationship where each person takes care of each other. That ideal relationship of respect..
[Let me borrow your article for a moment..]
After asking for understanding from Ariana and the gods of the pantheon in advance, Goddess Meriel held Leon's hand..
She approached Leon with a kind smile, met his eyes, and her two clear, clear eyes pierced Leon's blue eyes..
'Okay, that's enough.!'
Deputy Donald was delighted and looked forward to Leon's reaction..
Although Goddess Meriel has lost her followers and the world, her power is still strong..
There is no way this lion-hearted king does not know the fate she shows and the merit of being able to confirm that fate..
'Maybe they could try to incorporate Goddess Meriel into the pantheon right away. That's a bit difficult.'
The U.S. government revered the goddess Meriel, but they had a cooperative relationship with her because she was more valuable than that..
If the pantheon, which already had a significant number of believers, persuaded the goddess Meriel to join the pantheon, the U.S. government could become like a dog chasing a chicken..
'But the pantheon is desirable enough to take a gamble like this..'
Purification of the land and blessed crops by the goddess of life and abundance.
The powerful protection of battle from the goddess of light and justice and the god of war and flame..
Iron and Blacksmith God's Star Iron and Its Processing Abilities.
Goddess Meriel's foresight is a tremendous power, but the pantheon is nothing more than a comprehensive set..
It is not for nothing that the U.S. government is tempting Leon by promising to cede a lot of territory..
'Anyway, I'm curious. What kind of future did Meriel see for the Lionheart King?.'
It was a moment we had been waiting for patiently, hoping that it would also benefit the United States..
"Phew······."
Goddess Meriel sat down in a cold sweat. As was often the case after using her powers, Deputy Donald offered her his handkerchief..
"Mr. Meriel?"
However, Goddess Meriel's eyes were agitated and shaking as she continued to breathe..
"King Leon, you······."
Cold sweat ran down the back of her neck as she saw something..
