Chapter 204: Delusion
After waiting for almost ten minutes, everything seemed to be complete. When Thanatos stopped working on the sword, it was covered with a black layer... a colour. There was something that looked like a flower where the hilt was attached to the sword. It resembled a flower with thorns protruding outwards.
The sword had managed to become as thin as paper.
"It’s unstable," Thanatos said, looking at the gods and goddesses around him. It was clear and obvious that he was asking for help from someone.
Still, no help came. Thanatos, of course, accepted this with understanding. After all, entering into a relationship with the essence of another god or goddess could bring about their own demise.
Still, after just a few glances, a man no one had expected appeared from among the crowd of gods and goddesses gathered behind Atlas.
When Thanatos saw the man, he did nothing but say, "I am honoured."
This man was Boreas himself. Known as the Wind of the North and also the god of Ice and Winter, he was one of the most powerful Anemoi who had ever existed, a mature, large-bodied man with a thick beard and hair filled with ice.
He was someone about whom Atlas knew very little, but whom he still had to respect.
After all, there were only four people who represented the north, south, east, and west, and Boreas was perhaps the strongest of them all, or perhaps the second strongest.
