Chapter 462
‘Is the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations really like that?’
Choi Yeonseung was puzzled. Considering what he had seen and heard, it seemed unlikely to him that the hallucination constellation would be so easily intimidated.
Wasn’t he one of the greatest evil god constellations out there? There was no way would be scared by Choi Yeonseung’s declaration of war.
-Maybe he’s just flustered...
-What do you mean by that?
-The Expert of Twisted Hallucinations doesn’t know much about you, Successor. It’s only natural that he feels intimidated by an opponent he doesn’t know anything about.
The explanation of the goddess of sloth seemed plausible enough. Indeed, there was a lot of information out there about constellations like the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations, but information about Choi Yeonseung was still scant.
Thus, it wouldn’t be strange for the hallucination constellation to feel uneasy about facing him.
‘I see... Is he overestimating me? I like that.’
Of course, Choi Yeonseung was glad that his opponent viewed him like that and flinched. He had been prepared to face some consequences for getting involved in this constellation battle, but he hadn’t expected this outcome.
‘Then it wouldn’t be a bad idea to confuse him a bit more.’

[The ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ sends a gift to the Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood.]
[He says that we might’ve grown apart due to the accumulated misunderstandings, but he has always respected the ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’, one of the best warriors in the Abyss.]
!
Deep in the fortress, the Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood was dipping in a pool of boiling blood, and he jumped at the unexpected message. He couldn’t help laughing.
Kuhahahaha!
-What’s the matter, Master?
One of the subordinates suddenly knocked on the door.
The Undefeated Incarnation of Training has just sent me a gift. What does this mean?
-???
-Wh-who knows...?
Much like their master, the minions of the berserker constellation didn’t really use their brains. If anything, the berserker constellation would actually be suspicious if any of his subordinates said something smart.
None of his minions were even remotely smart.
-Isn’t he finally frightened by your greatness, Master?
You-!
-!
Everyone was frightened by the shout of the berserker constellation. Were they wrong?
...are exactly right!
-Thank you! Thank you!
-Hey, you’re amazing! How did you guess it?
The other warriors murmured among themselves and praised their comrade. Having provided an answer that satisfied their master, it was clear that this warrior was the most intelligent creature in the Abyss.
Angels, demons, and elves all took pride in their intelligence, but they couldn’t hold a candle to this warrior!
He’s finally scared of me. I knew it would become like this.
Recently, the Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood had been quite bored. He had always been a constellation without any real companions, and this was especially true recently.
The constellations who at least pretended to be friendly with him had either falled, disappeared, or just lost contact with him. As for the evil god constellations that had recently emerged on Earth, they had arrogantly tried to bring the berserker constellation on his knees and surpass him on the ladder.
In all honesty, the berserker constellation wasn’t in favor of this invasion.
The evil god constellations had initially come to him and humbly asked for advice, but now they were running wild on Earth by themselves without saying a word to him.
Those days, evil god constellations had no respect for their superiors...
[The ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ says he wants to learn a bit about the strength of the ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood.’]
[He asks you to send your household members to teach him how to fight.]
Of course, Choi Yeonseung didn’t think the berserker constellation would readily comply with his request. After all, what constellation would instantly agree to something like that?
Surely, the berserker constellation would find it suspicious at first...
Okay!
[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ says he will send his household members.]
[He says he will show the weak what true strength is.]
‘????’
What?
Why didn’t this guy suspect anything?
Choi Yeonseung was shocked that the berserker constellation had no doubts about this.
-Did he notice that there was no trap?
-How could he know that?
-Uuh... Yeah, you’re right.
-I guess there’s nothing in his head.
-Surely, that’s not the case. After all, could a stupid constellation maintain such a high status?
***
Since then, Choi Yeonseung kept interacting with constellations.
[The ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ sends a gift to the ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony.’]
[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ is puzzled.]
[He asks why you’re doing this when the other constellations can see it.]
At first, Choi Yeonseung was taken aback when the chef constellation contacted him out of the blue, and now, it was the complete opposite.
The constellations beaten by the chef constellation were still quite angry with him, so the chef constellation hadn’t thought that the incarnation of training would ever contact him like this.
[The ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ says he doesn’t care about such trivial public evaluation.]
[He says he would like to teach his household members some new recipes, so please send some to him.]
[...The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ accepts.]
Just like that, the household members and minions of the evil god constellations kept going to the incarnation of training, and this naturally caused the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations to be apprehensive.
I didn’t expect him to attract other evil god constellations... Besides, the Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood and the Chef of Endless Gluttony both have a grudge against me! So cunning! As expected, he had a plan!
The Expert of Twisted Hallucinations was indignant when he heard the rumors.
Those like the berserker constellation generally didn’t have much of a say among the evil god constellations.
Evil god constellations generally didn’t get along with each other, but the berserker constellation was even worse in that regard.
To a natural-born schemer like the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations, those like the berserker constellation were like rabid beasts spinning around to bite their own tails.
The Chef of Endless Gluttony was also a violent and unpredictable individual... It was definitely a problem that such dangerous constellations had joined forces with the Undefeated Incarnation of Training.
Why were they doing this at a time like this? There was only one explanation.
It was to absorb some of the attacks from the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations!
In a battle between constellations, the more opponents there were, the more uncertain things became. The Expert of Twisted Hallucinations wouldn’t like this one bit.
-Don’t worry, Master. In any case, the Undefeated Incarnation of Training can’t win the constellation battle. Your household members have never been defeated. At the end of the day, it’s all about strength, Master.
The household members tried to assuage their master’s anger, and he nodded at their explanations.
You’re right. Even if he tries stupid tricks, he won’t be able to beat my household members. Yes, tell them to keep going with their silly tricks! the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations shouted firmly.
No matter how much trickery was used, in the end, raw strength would decide the outcome. The other constellations could scheme all they wanted, but they certainly wouldn’t emerge victorious from this battle!
***
[The ‘Warrior With a Hammer’ tells you to beware of the strength of the ‘Expert of Twisted Hallucinations’.]
The other constellations were more familiar with the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations than Choi Yeonseung. Apparently he was especially formidable in the traditional six-on-six constellation battle.
‘Is he that strong? I wonder how he compares to the angels led by Adaquaniel?’
[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ appreciates your high evaluation of Adaquaniel, but the household members of the ‘Expert of Twisted Hallucinations’ are so strong that not even Adaquaniel can guarantee victory.]
-Is that so? Still, if it’s Adaquaniel...
[...]
The Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead seemed upset with Choi Yeonseung’s words. He didn’t believe her...!
Of course, she was glad that he fully trusted her household member, but sometimes, she seriously wondered if he thought more highly of Adaquaniel than of herself. The saddest part was that she was too scared to ask.
There were times when the goddess genuinely felt like that was the case.
‘This is very annoying.’
Choi Yeonseung frowned when he heard the details from the other constellations.
The main tactic of the hallucination constellation during constellation battles was to gradually fill the entire area with gas and smoke. Naturally, household members had all kinds of protection and were stronger than other mortals, so they didn’t immediately succumb to this.
However, the more they fought, the more poison would accumulate and the more hallucinations they would see.
The household members of the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations were well aware of that and always dragged out battles to maximize the efficiency of this tactic and achieve victory.
The Expert of Twisted Hallucinations had won hundreds of times in this type of constellation battle, so it was only natural that he was confident.
[The ‘Warrior With a Hammer’ says he will send a household member if you want.]
[...]
[...]
The other constellations also declared that they would participate in the constellation battle, since they had promised to support the incarnation of training.
Choi Yeonseung was glad to hear that, given that he had only had a few members in his household.
[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ says it would be better to recruit the ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place.’]
The Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead foresaw the future and identified what strategies could be used. No other constellation could make such predictions.
-I’m sure the power of the cold air can stop the poisonous clouds. What’s more, a constellation would be more resistant to the hallucinations than any mortal.
Choi Yeonseung nodded.
There was only one reason he was confident in this upcoming battle against the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations.
...It was the fact that he himself would fight in this constellation battle, and the hallucination constellation would never see it coming!
‘In fact, I’m in no position to criticize the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations for his tricks.’
Inciting the evil god constellations to launch an invasion on Earth and spread chaos was nothing compared to pretending to be a mortal and participating in a constellation battle!
However, if there wasn’t one, but two constellations getting directly involved...
-Thank you, Goddess. Sounds like a great plan. The Expert of Twisted Hallucinations will probably not expect that.
[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ is delighted!]
-By the way, I would like to discuss strategy with Adaquaniel. Can you contact her for a moment?
***
Uranta, the household member of the Warrior With a Hammer.
Barbagi, the household member of the Arrogant Light Elf.
Illaphael, the household member of the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons.
Choi Yeonseung had worked with them in the last battle in Japan, so it was easier to fight alongside them than to find new allies.
However, the household members looked at Adaquaniel with skepticism.
Choi Yeonseung had already proven himself, but Adaquaniel was different. Of course, they were aware of the reputation of this elder angel in the Abyss. Many people called her an undefeated strategist.
However, they wouldn’t believe it until they saw it for themselves.
“Are you really good enough to participate here?” asked Illaphael, her tone tinged with suspicion. “I’ve heard a lot of rumors, but I’ve never seen you fight. In fact, I haven’t seen you in any recent constellation battles.”
The other household members nodded.
“How can you say such rude things?!”
“!?”
However, someone else shouted at Illaphael.
It was Choi Yeonseung.
“I can attest to her skills.”
“Ah... A-alright, then I trust her as well.”
“Hmm, if Choi Yeonseung says so...”
“...”
Tears welled up in Illaphael’s eyes.
She had become the only bad angel out there!
