Chapter 426: Star, Taurus (1)
[The Celestial Taurus has activated the Divine Ground Babylonia!]
Thuuuuud!
A Milky Way slowly opened up above Bel-Marduk, slowly revealing a colossal sky city with a Babel Tower in the center. It looked like an impenetrable fortress.
The Hyades[1] Its been a while since I last saw them. Kali uncharacteristically, nervously gulped. The others tensed up as they silently nodded.
The Hyades, the army under Bel-Marduks direct command, was the most direct subject of their anger. They were the reason Bel-Marduk was still the Zodiac's leaderthe reason he managed to trample over almost a hundred Worldlines.
They were so skilled that Tiamat and failed to put an end to them despite engaging in a long battle against them. Moreover, they also served as the insurmountable wall that Chang-Sun and the others ultimately failed to destroy.
That very army stayed in Babylonia.
Oooooong!The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
[Hyades, the army of the Celestial Taurus, has appeared.]
A pillar of light struck down from the sky city to the ground, causing strong turbulence. One after another, the soldiers descended, emitting a faint glow.
Clink!
At the same time, the northern gate, one of the fortress four gates, swung wide opena clear indication that the four protectors of Bel-Marduks city were about to roll in as well.
[The Subordinate Enemy-Loathed Gate has appeared!]
Urash, the protector of the northern gate, was the first to head out.[2] Judging from her lethargic eyes and long yawn, the small woman seemed discontented to be here. Unbefitting her size, she was holding a huge, menacing scythe against her shoulder.
Ill handle her, Kali immediately volunteered, fueled by her long history with Urash.
When the others nodded, she used Space Folding and reappeared before her opponent.
Paah!
Urash brightened up when she saw Kali, her lethargic appearance vanishing. As if genuinely glad to finally meet an old friend again, she sheepishly smiled. Is that you, Kali? Woah! I heard you woke up again. Its been such a long time.
Yeah, its been too long, Kali replied, her expression remaining cold.
Come on. You look too serious for someone claiming theyre glad to see me. You should smile more. Your smile is beautiful, Kali.
Unfortunately, I lost my smile for a while thanks to a certain someone.
Youre still living the hard life, huh?
Kali nodded. Of course.
I told you to stop with your asceticism. Itll ruin your skin. Urash wagged her index finger and clicked her tongue. Thats it. Youll keep ruining that beautiful face of yours if I leave you be. Ill chop up every piece of you and use you as decor in my home. That should make it easy for other people to see you, which in turn would also stop you from getting lonely. What do you think?
I think youre still a nutjob who can talk about batshit crazy things with ease. Kali clenched her fists, getting ready to deliver her first attack, as her glare on Urash sharpened.
Youre too mean. I said all of those things out of goodwill and as your friend. Its an excellent deal if you really think about it. In fact, thanks to me, Chahen is still very beauti!
Slash!
Something sharp cut Urash before she could finish her sentence.
Drip!
Urash touched her left cheek with her fingers, smearing it with blood from a deep cut. If she didnt instinctively turn her head to the side to dodge the attack, Kalis swift attack could have cut through her entire face.
Kali sneered. Bummer. I was going to chop you up nicely and make a necklace out of your skull.
Urash smiled coldly as she tightened the grip on her large scythe. If you want to die again, then Ill make your wish come true. Once I have your head, Ill pack your body and send it to Teacher. Itll be perfect.
Paah!
Claaaang!
The two disappeared for a moment, then reappeared in the center again with Kali blocking Urashs large scythe with a left knife-hand strike. The collision sent a shockwave sweeping through the area.
Creeeak!
As the scythe slid down and pierced the ground, Urash closed in on Kali and threw a left jab. Kali ducked, dodging the attack, and pushed toward the pit of Urashs stomach.
Really?
Yes. You wouldnt know about them, but Kali, Urash, and Chahen used to be known as Himavats Three Sisters.
Ive heard about them, Gyeo-Ul answered.
Huh? You have?
I heard the story from the other ascetics during my training under Lady Durga, Gyeo-Ul replied. Recalling what he heard little by little, he continued, The reason Kali noo-nim stormed out of Himavat was to find the one who killed her sister who was like her other half.
The one she was looking for was Urash. Crom slowly pulled out a crystal ball that was as big as her head from her inner pocket.
The sky citys eastern gate was beginning to open as well. Another one of its protectors was about to join the fight.
Kali hunted down Urash as hard as she could, but when Urash became a subordinate of Taurus, things became even more complicated. That was when Kali met Twilight, Crom explained.
Gyeo-Ul nodded, watching Kali. I see.
He now felt as if he didnt know much about Kali anymore. He wasnt aware of what she had to go through in exact detail, but the fact that he failed to notice and console her despite being by her side for so long still weighed down on his heart.
Crom smiled mischievously as she looked at Gyeo-Ul from the side. Is this Is this what I think it is? My, my. Its always the quiet ones!
It was love! Kali was quite cunning. Despite showing no interest in romance, she got herself a tall and handsome younger manno, Gyeo-Ul wasnt just younger than her. He was young enough to be her nephew!
Moreover, he was gentle, and as Durgas student and Xerxes son, his Divine Class was bound to reach great heights in the future. Even if Crom scoured the Great Universe, it would be very difficult to find another man like him.
Kali hit the jackpot. Crom grinned.
Unfortunately, Kali didnt seem to have even an inkling about what was going on because she was only interested in her cultivation.
Hohohoho! Whoa, whoa. This is going to be so fun, Crom thought, realizing she made the right choice to wake up now. After all, it gave her the chance to witness a rosy romance on a battlefield filled with the smell of blood and ashes.
That aside, can you repeat what you said earlier?
Gyeo-Ul tilted his head in confusion. Is she normally that terrifying when she fights?
No, the one you said after that.
... Noo-nim?
Yes! That one! Can you say it again? Crom asked with sparkling eyes.
Noonim?
Hahahaha! Thats very pleasant to hear! Crom beamed. I like you! Keep calling me that.
Okay Gyeo-Ul nodded in bewilderment, unable to understand Croms reaction.
... Noo-nim? Xerxes questioned, finding the way Gyeo-Ul referred to Crom awkward.
Crom looked at Xerxes. Why? Is there a problem? I like him calling me that.
He should call you auntie[3].
Xerx.
Hm? Xerxes answered.
Crom brightly smiled. Would you like to go to sleep?
Shall I put you to eternal sleep myself?
Im sorry. Xerxes bowed.
With the way his father reacted, Gyeo-Ul made a mental note never to get on Kali and Croms bad side.
1. A star cluster.
2. Although Urash's avatar was referred to with male pronouns in the Apostle Battle arc, she uses female pronouns.
3. This is about Gyeo-Ul using a name that is used for younger people. Although Koreans also like to emphasize how old they are to show their wisdom, they also like to be viewed as younger than their actual age.
