Gods

## Overview

“God” was the noble existence that all Predators wished to become, but in reality, the two camps were diametrically opposed.

The qualification of godhood was indeed that—the qualification to become a god—and the authority symbolizing an individual’s power, but actually becoming a god was another matter altogether.

Obviously, one needed to possess the qualifications, but one also needed a physical body capable of wielding all those qualifications, as well as a mind that was tough enough to withstand such a physique.

There it was, one of the abilities that symbolized the gods—Insight, the eyes of the gods that could see through everything.

It seemed that Brahma was unable to even imagine the simple fact that Su-hyeun ascended to full godhood despite being a human.

However, something like that was understandable. Countless unknown, unfamous, gods existed throughout the universe, but even then, there weren’t all that many who, despite being born as a mere mortal, reached full godhood on their own strength.

## Difference Between one who is a god and who isn’t

* Between a god and a man, then a god and someone who isn’t a god, well, the difference isn’t in their strength but their existence.

According Apollo: Humans are fundamentally weaker than dragons. However, that doesn’t mean that humans are weaker than dragons, you know what I mean? Take you, for instance. Even before you ascended to godhood, you were strong enough to slaughter a whole bunch of dragons all by yourself, but that didn’t mean you were not human, right?

Apollo was right; humans were weak existences. If you looked at physical strength alone, humans were weaker than tigers, while in the level of intelligence, they fell behind the race of demi-humans, the Elves. Certainly, humans were not worthy of being compared to the race of dragons in every facet one could think of.

The same thing applied to gods.

o put it simply, it was the matter of being a different existence—when looked at that way, it became easier to understand.

“Just think of it as a…completely new existence possessing a more perfect physique and mindset. The moment you acquired your godhood, you started growing distant from being human, and you are getting closer to being a god. In other words…” Apollo scanned the other gods staring at them and continued, “Gods are simply existences different from the others. It’s like, being a god doesn’t automatically make you more amazing.”

## The God Title

Quite literally, it was a “title,” a name, of a god.

A “title” was a special mechanism that existed within the system that granted special powers to the awakeners. This was a separate type of power from, say, “items.” It directly interfered with one’s physical body and soul, and not even the race of dragons, referred to as the progenitor of magic, could create something like this.

Also, it would be impossible to know about the system in such detail without being an actual awakener—excluding someone like Zeus who was currently standing before Su-hyeun, of course.

“Besides the name they were given at birth, countless gods also acquire new and different ‘names’ as they live their lives,” Zeus replied, but what he said was completely unrelated to Su-hyeun’s question. “Ares is the God of War and Destruction. As for Apollo, he’s the God of Fire and Prophecies. My older brother, Hades, is the God of Death and Hell, while Hephaestus is referred to as the God of Blacksmithing. As for me, I’m the God of Light and Thunder, as well as the God of the Sky and Daylight.”

All those “titles” were the symbols that represented the respective gods that even Su-hyeun was aware of.

“The second names that symbolize me are the God Titles. The God Title is not what I call myself but what others call me by.”

“What others call you by, hmm…”

## Personality

* Gods don’t cry, after all.
* Unless you teared up during a yawn, tears were evidence of you pouring out your emotions, according to what the Bull Demon King had said, and he was a creature currently working hard to get rid of his emotions to become a god, so he should know all about it.
* Gods were near-immortal existences that could live for hundreds of millions of years. The sheer scale of the memories they would get to accumulate in that length of time, as well as the resulting reminiscence and longing.

## God’s Tear

* It’s proof that a god has rediscovered their emotions. The godhood that leaked out because of that has fallen along with the teardrop to become that item.
* A god’s tear literally lowered a god’s qualification of godhood.
