Chapter 415 - Are they useful? (1)
The Divine world was in a state of turmoil. The reason was the news that the Primordial god had appeared in front of Lee Gun.
“The one whom we had been searching for long was with the evil gods!”
“We didn’t know if he was dead or alive until now. Why did he have to go to the snake god?”
“That makes no sense. He’s…!”
“Oh, Great Spirit! What happened!’
All the gods looked up to the Primordial god.
However, the Primordial god had been tricked by Eternal Change and had perished when he was betrayed by those close to him.
“At the time, didn’t the Great Spirits arrest the evil gods for murdering the Primordial god?”
“Why were the victim and the perpetrators traveling together? How does that make any sense?”
“The Primordial god went to the snake god! How are you going to take responsibility for this?”
Gods had gathered at the heart of the Divine world. The eight great forces, as well as the thousands of factions unrelated to them, had come here.
The Primordial god’s appearance before Lee Gun had created a hole in the story.
“Come out and speak!”
“We are asking if the Great Spirits assassinated the Primordial god! Did you place the blame on others?!”
Suddenly, a light surged forth in front of them. The light resolved into fierce purple winds, and a man appeared out of it.
The gods affiliated under Valhalla were surprised by the sight.
“Lord of Heaven!”
He was an old man wearing an eyepatch.
The Great Spirit of Ennead was a young male god, and it felt like he existed only to fight through the whole universe. On the other hand, the Great Spirit of Valhalla gave off a proud air. He was like a great noble.
When the Great Spirit of Valhalla appeared in the flesh, the gods immediately lowered their heads.
At the end of the day, the Great Spirits were the current rulers of the Divine world and the numerous dimensions. They were the highest-ranked leaders. Why would such an exalted being appear in front of them like this?
[Did someone just suggest that we assassinated the Primordial god and placed the blame on the evil gods?]
“…!!”
The question made half the gods tremble in fear; the other half raised their eyebrows as they tried to hide their confusion.
“Then why would the Primordial god hang around the evil gods unless he has lost his mind?”
“Moreover, isn’t it odd that the Primordial god went to the snake god instead of you guys? It doesn’t make sense unless you guys are the perpetrators…”
The eyes of Valhalla’s Great Spirit flashed.
[Shut your mouth! If we killed the Primordial god, we would have turned into evil gods.]
“!”
[When gods fall, it cannot be hidden. We are completely fine. Is that proof enough?]
“That’s…!”
[If you want to accuse us of being the culprits, tell us why didn’t we incur massive amounts of Karmic debt?]
The gods were silent.
The Great Spirit of Valhalla furrowed his brow.
‘There is no way we’ll be found out.’
The only ones that could find out what they had done were Galan and Eternal Change, and both of them were fated to die.
Of course, the Great Spirit of Valhalla had put a temporary Divine status within Sagittarius, but Sagittarius’s opponent was Eternal Change. The fight might drag out a bit, but Sagittarius would be ripped apart and eaten.
‘No one will find out.’
“Hey! Wait a moment! You can’t! Hey! No!”
“You are going to be executed. Executed!”
[!]
The Great Spirit of Valhalla flinched when he heard the unexpected voices. The problem was the owners of the voices.
“No! I’ve been wrongly accused!”
“Follow us.”
The one being dragged here by his pages was none other than Sagittarius.
The gods became agitated when they saw the pages and the golden-haired man.
“Isn’t that Sagittarius?”
“Those are the raven gods…!”
The two children dragging Sagittarius here were the raven gods, the eyes of Valhalla’s Great Spirit.
Muninn and Huginn were considered gods that bore and retrieved news. That was why they caused a commotion.
“This is the first time I’ve seen the gods of retrieval…!”
“Didn’t both of them disappear when the Primordial god was murdered?”
When Sagittarius appeared, the eyebrows of Valhalla’s Great Spirit rose as he tried to keep in his anger.
‘Why the hell did they bring him back here?’
Sagittarius should have already been dead. He should be a corpse.
The Great Spirit of Valhalla looked at the ravens with gold eyes.
[What about Eternal Change?]
“It will be impossible for him to execute Eternal Change.”
[What?]
“The snake god used a wish ticket and turned Sagittarius into his permanent subordinate. He made sure both of them couldn’t fight.”
The Great Spirit almost cursed. It only worked if they fought each other! Eternal Change would kill Sagittarius, who was Galan. Then the Divine status placed inside Galan would kill Eternal Change.
It was supposed to be that way, but the snake god…!
[Did the snake god let Sagittarius go willingly?]
“Yes. He said he doesn’t need someone like him…”
The Great Spirit realized what Lee Gun wanted to do.
‘He purposefully let Sagittarius be dragged away?’
Huginn and Muninn were the eyes of Valhalla’s Great Spirit. He could see through the eyes of the ravens, no matter where they were. It was also his second sight. However, he had currently sealed the clairvoyance since he had to monitor Sagittarius.
‘However, he’ll die 100% if he’s sent here. Does he truly not need Sagittarius?’
Murderous intent appeared within the Great Spirit’s eyes, but…
“Our conversation hasn’t concluded yet!”
[!]
“It was said that the evil gods took the power of the Primordial god. It was said that those powers were sold to the monarchs!”
Including Cycle, a total of five such powers existed. The Great Spirits had recovered those powers from the monarchs. Those powers symbolized the Primordial god. Their presence allowed everyone to accept the Great Spirits as leaders of the Divine world.
“Could that have been a lie too?”
As soon as the high-rank gods spoke, the Lord of Heaven’s eyes flashed menacingly.
[You try to be nice, yet the dregs start taking liberties with you.]
“!!”
[Who do you think allowed you to use your power in comfort? How dare you try to place blame on the Great Spirits!]
Purple flames erupted from the angry Great Spirit. He became larger. After transforming into an enormous giant made out of purple flames, he brought out his abilities.
Koo-goo-goong!
The menacing sight frightened everyone.
“Lord of Heaven!”
[You have noodles in your head instead of brains. I’ll make sure you guys go through inheritance to transfer your power.]
It was clear that he was going to get rid of Sagittarius and the gods barking up the wrong tree. He planned on killing them all.
The flames were about to descend on the heads of the gods when…
Pahng!!!
“!!”
A powerful light deflected the power of the Great Spirit.
The gods and the captured Sagittarius were surprised to see the newcomer.
“A-Aslan?!”
The one who had blasted away the Great Spirit’s power was Aslan.
Sagittarius couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked at the golden-haired man.
Aslan let out a bright smile when he felt Sagittarius’s gaze. “You are still alive, Big Brother.”
Complicated emotions took over Sagittarius’s face. “Did you come to save me—”
“What? Do you think I’ve lost my mind?” Aslan laughed as if Sagittarius was barking up the wrong tree. “It’s fine. Just become a weapon for Gun.”
Sagittarius despaired.
Aslan then glared at the Great Spirit of Valhalla. In truth, Sagittarius had to regain all his memories if they wanted to find a way to defeat all the Great Spirits.
The Great Spirit of Valhalla looked at Aslan in contempt.
[It seems the Great Sinner Aslan, who ridiculed the Great Spirits, is still alive. What did you do to the Great Spirit of Ennead?]
“I made sure he cannot come out from hell fire. An old man like you should be sitting in a heated seat. You might hurt your back.”
The gods talked amongst themselves.
“Wasn’t Aslan best friends with the Great Spirits? I thought they were drinking buddies.”
“No. By the end, they fought like crazy. They tried to kill each other.”
“Why??”
“Of course, it was Aslan’s fault. Creators are all sinners who lost their minds.”
When he heard the murmurs, the Great Spirit of Valhalla looked like he was in a very tough spot.
It was because Aslan knew everything. He knew why they wanted to get rid of the Primordial god and the Creators. Aslan had spoken these words to them in the past.
- I will decline such requests.
- What?
- After the death of the Primordial god, I can see why the Creators refused to become Constructs under the Great Spirits.
- !
- I also understand why you guys killed the Creators.
The Great Spirits still vividly remembered Aslan’s cocky rejection. This was why the Lord of Heaven was boiling with anger.
‘Is this the snake god’s doing?’
As expected, Creators were never helpful. It also was apparent that Aslan hadn’t been reborn. The eye of the Great Spirit could see it all.
‘That is an item.’
However, it wasn’t an ordinary item.
As if messing with Sagittarius wasn’t enough, Lee Gun had revived the damn Aslan.
Aslan was Lee Gun’s item. As Lee Gun grew and became stronger, Aslan was able to regain his original shape. He was able to use his abilities.
The Great Spirit instantly became guarded. Sagittarius didn't seem to care what happened. He was just happy to be alive.
Puhng!!
“!!”
At that moment, Aslan turned into a slime.
Sagittarius’s face turned pale from shock. Lee Gun’s Constructs, who had come to monitor the situation, also screamed.
“Aslan!”
Aslan mentally kicked himself.
‘This is…!’
The duration had come to an end!
Having been returned to his slime form, Aslan started to run away. As he did so, he stole the gods’ items.
Sagittarius was frozen by this sight, and the Great Spirit of Valhalla raged. He could no longer hold it in.
[Bring all the gods who had contact with the thirteen Zodiacs.]
“What?”
[The thirteen Zodiacs ignored that they had seen Eternal Change. They chose to ignore a sinner like Sagittarius. They couldn’t stop the antics of the Serpent Bearer.]
“!”
[All the gods associated with the thirteen Zodiacs are guilty by association. They will be executed. Their existence itself will be erased, and their faction will be expelled.]
It caused a big stir amongst the gods. The gods who had become the thirteen Zodiacs were all pillar gods of the eight great forces. The Great Spirit of Valhalla wanted to exterminate them!
The Great Spirit didn’t care as he looked at Sagittarius.
[Take this bastard to Valhalla’s Hel.]
Hel was Valhalla’s hell prison. All Constructs stolen from other forces and the sinners that could cause harm to Valhalla were imprisoned there.
When the door opened, light exploded forth from the floor. A space connected to Valhalla opened. It was a transport tunnel that moved the prisoners.
The tied-up Sagittarius flinched. This hell prison was notorious. The Constructs that didn’t follow orders were put in there and tortured.
[!]
However, the transport tunnel connected to Valhalla suddenly disappeared. Moreover, none of the guards from Hel responded when the Great Spirit called for them.
This puzzled the Great Spirit, so he tried summoning his Constructs. He sent his Valkyries to go check on Hel.
Soon, he heard something shocking.
“This is bad! Valhalla is under attack!”
[What?]
[It’s the snake god! He’s stealing the prisoners of Valhalla!]
[…!?]
It was Lee Gun. Lee Gun had invaded Valhalla and was taking all the gods imprisoned by the Lord of Heaven. The bigger problem was which gods he was stealing.
[Most of them are gods who used to be affiliated under the Serpent Bearer temple!]
[While letting Sagittarius’s execution distract you, they invaded Valhalla!]
[He’s trying to regain his Constructs, and he plans on releasing all the prisoners that’ll cause harm to Valhalla! I believe that is his goal!]
Valhalla’s Great Spirit realized what had happened and glared at Sagittarius. That damn baby snake bastard…! Lee Gun had purposely sent Sagittarius to him.
* * *
Lee Gun had arrived at Valhalla’s hell.
Hugo nervously looked at his friend. “Hey, are you sure we should be doing this?”
“What do you mean?”
“This is Hel.”
“So what?”
“Why do I have to come here and act as a meat shield for you?”
“Why else? It hurts if I get hit!!”
“#$*&*?!”
Currently, they were on Valhalla’s land. Of course, there was only one reason why they were able to enter this place in secret.
[As expected, Mimir knows everything about Valhalla.]
The Spirit King Mimir, who had attached itself to Chun Sungjae, had been a Construct of the old Serpent Bearer temple.
It had also originated from Valhalla, and it was one of the two great gods of knowledge. This was why it knew about the secret tunnels and the method needed to free the prisoners.
That wasn’t all.
‘I never expected Gemini’s Divine status to be useful here…’
After he had killed the Gemini twins on the earth, Lee Gun had stolen their Divine statuses.
The Gemini Zodiacs were Freya and Freyr. They had been Zodiacs affiliated under Valhalla.
This was why his enemies hadn’t attacked Lee Gun even if he came across them.
- Damn it! It’s a pillar-rank Divine status of Valhalla! Huhk!
- Shit! We can’t attack him! Kuh-huhk!
It seemed they couldn’t attack their superior, so their enemies acted meekly in front of him.
Of course, the Divine status of a pillar god had no effect on some high-rank gods, but it didn’t matter.
- Ahhk! Primordial god!
- W-Wait a moment! Why is he here?
Whenever Lee Gun pulled out the Primordial god, half the high-ranking gods showed reactions similar to Sagittarius’s when he had met the Primordial god. Lee Gun took care of the rest by tossing Hugo toward them.
He was doing this for a simple reason.
- Hel has a lot of Constructs affiliated under the Serpent Bearer temple.
Mimir’s eyes had shone as he spoke.
- Also, the number of Constructs a Zodiac has is equivalent to the power of the Zodiac. Master, you have to grow the size and power of your faction.
In other words, Lee Gun needed to satisfy his internal energy requirement if he wanted to generate power on par with the Great Spirit rank.
‘First, Master has to become a Great Spirit.’
Back to the present, Lee Gun opened each room and pointed inside. “Mmm. Will this one be helpful?”
A nameless Construct was shaking within the room.
Mimir answered when it saw him.
[No. He won’t be helpful.]
Poo-hahk!!
“Ahhk!!”
“What about him?”
[No. Too dirty.]
Poo-hahk!!!
“Ooh-ahk!”
“What about him?”
[You just have to take his Divine status.]
Poo-hahk!!
“Kuh-huhk!!”
It seemed all the gods that Lee Gun had killed were wards of Valhalla. The gods glared at Lee Gun as they died.
“Bastards…! Do you think the Lord of Heaven will let you be? He’ll be here soon…!”
Lee Gun laughed at those words. “Let him come. I’ll pluck out his remaining eye.”
