Chapter 365 - Goddess of Fate (2)
Lime had brought a large mass of light. At a glance, the light looked like a regular lump of light, but Lee Gun’s face became visibly contorted. It was for no other reason.
[Creator’s Large and Girthy Thing]
Lee Gun got angry. “Damn it! Don’t bring that dirty thing!!”
“!!”
In this instance, he wished “Gaze of a God” wouldn’t activate. It was also why Lee Gun furrowed his brows even further.
Creators were special gods. They were so powerful that even several monarchs had originated from them.
‘Creator? There is no way this belongs to that person…’
At that moment, Lee Gun thought about the blonde man who had claimed to be his father. Moreover, he knew only one Creator, the thirteenth original owner.
On the other hand, Lime could guess what Lee Gun was thinking. It brought the large and girthy thing and slapped Lee Gun’s leg with the item, as if it were asking a penny for Lee Gun’s thoughts.
[Clump of Creation Clay expresses its anger. It says to put that away in a safe place.]
[It says this might be an important item.]
Lee Gun looked at Hugo with a serious expression. “Holy crap! This is big. You want to swap it out for this one?”
“Swap— Cough! You crazy bastard! What did you just say?”
“What? You are smaller than m—”
“It isn’t small!!!!” Hugo immediately became angry. That bastard, Gun, never used his, yet kept making fun of him. Hugo planned on teaching him a lesson.
“In the first place, whose is it?!”
“I don’t know. However, it seems to be the power of a Creator.”
“C-Creator?”
Hugo froze, thinking about the same person as Lee Gun was.
Angry, Lime butted its head. However, Lee Gun ignored it as he aggressively tried to sell the idea that the item would be beneficial to Hugo. “Look at the size of the light. It’s out of this world. Wouldn’t Miss Jiwoo like it? If you have it, I’ll really be able to become the owner of a team.”
“Damn it!!!”
As if to say he didn’t need it, Hugo kicked the enormous light. “If you like it so much, you take it!”
“No. It’s dirty.”
“It’s dirty for you, yet you want me to take it?”
Well, it didn’t matter. Although he had exaggerated it a bit by saying the lights were the junk of gods, it was more apt to say that they were the Life ability of gods.
“Why are they gathering such things?”
“I’m not sure. The only certain thing is that the owners of these are all famed gods.”
“They are famous gods?”
Hugo bit his tongue. He had heard a rumor that the major male gods avoided the goddesses of fate for some odd reason. That was why he had almost been sold off as the 19,788th husband. Was this related to that?
Lee Gun laughed. “Anyway, the fact that the goddesses of fate took yours means they accepted you as a god worth collecting, right?”
If that was true, wasn’t the one most in danger Lee Gun?
[You can feel the energy of the Rule Book nearby.]
A loud boom rang out, accompanied by the notification.
Tahng tahng tahng!!!
The wall of the room was destroyed. Hugo was surprised by the menacing face that made its appearance.
“You cheating snake god!” An old woman with a furious face had charged into the room.
[Divine status: Atropos (Future)]
When she saw Lee Gun, she pointed her gun at him as if she wanted to kill him. “Snake god! What the hell did you give us?”
Lee Gun’s eyes turned round when he saw the murderous intent on her face. Behind her was Sagittarius, who looked like death warmed over. He was being carried by the middle-aged Lachesis (Current) and the child-like Klotho (Past), letting out deep sobs.
“Wahhhhh! My purity… My innocence…!” Sagittarius clutched the area between his legs, looking like he wanted to die.
Future’s eyes flashed as she ignored him. “How dare you deceive us by handing over a defective product?!”
“Oh wow! You already found out? I thought you wouldn’t find out until the wedding night.”
“Don’t look down on us!”
When she heard the unexpected information from Virgo, the old woman had immediately put her hand down Sagittarius’s pants and used her ability.
Among the three goddesses of fate, Future had the ability to cut fate. She was the one to cut out Hugo’s Divine status, and she had also cut away his lifespan.
Just by passing her hand through Sagittarius’s body, she was able to read the entirety of his fate. This was why they became aware of the problem.
“You killed it so thoroughly that there is nothing for me to cut out!” Future had planned on cutting out and storing Sagittarius’ ability. She was enraged. “How dare you trick us and send this fake!”
On the other hand, Louis was sobbing. “Wahhh! I didn’t even get married, yet I was sullied…”
He looked as if the world was crumbling down around him. This surprised Hugo and Lee Gun.
‘What the hell did they do to him…’
Well, it didn’t matter.
“Did you come here to give me the Rule Book?”
The goddesses looked dumbfounded.
“Rule Book? We do have it, but do you think we’ll let you have it now that you gave this to us?”
When she saw Lee Gun’s sly laughter, the old woman’s eyes flashed as she grabbed the back of her neck. “There is a limit as to how much you can insult the goddesses who work directly under the Divine world. Take him away…”
Present and Past spoke up at that moment.
“If Big Sis doesn’t want him, the two of us will split him up between us.”
“That’s right. We just want his heart and face. That’s all we need.”
“It’s fine, since everything above his lower half is fine.”
For some reason, Lee Gun chuckled when the goddesses talked about Sagittarius. “Are you sure you checked for all the defects?”
“What?”
As soon as he spoke, Lime flew toward Sagittarius and pulled off the Zodiac’s wig.
Both the goddesses and Sagittarius reacted in shock when the baldness was revealed.
“Kyahhhhk!!”
“Ahhhhk!!”
Having a good time, Lime spun the wig.
The one who was shocked the most was Past, who had claimed that she cared about only the face. She was trembling. “L-Louis-nim is bald. Bald!”
Until a moment ago, she had been happy. Now, she tossed aside Sagittarius, and her eyes flashed in anger like the old woman’s. “You bastard!! How dare you give us a defective product!! I won’t forgive you!”
When Past looked like she wanted a refund, Lachesis’s eyes twinkled. “Then I can have him—”
“You stay put!!”
The goddesses of fate looked at Lee Gun as if they wanted to kill him.
“You wouldn’t have given him as a present unless you were trying to insult us!!”
Being treated so callously, Sagittarius shed tears. The old woman, who had read his fate, was filled with anger as she looked at Lee Gun. This was beyond being insulted.
“You ruined our plan. We tried to acquire him since he’s a Creator.”
“!”
Lee Gun and Hugo couldn’t believe their ears when they heard the unexpected words. They were surprised for different reasons.
“It is because he’s a Creator?”
“Wait a minute! Who’s a Creator?”
This was the first time Hugo was hearing this, so he found it peculiar.
Lee Gun scoffed. “Is it connected to what was inside there?” He pointed at the item of the Creator, which he had found inside.
The old woman contemptuously laughed. “Yes. Creators are called the gods of blessings. They were gods used by the Divine world as weapons. Before the nine great forces emerged, they were considered precious weapons of the Divine world.”
“!”
“However, they went extinct at some point, and we tried to revive them. But it’ll be possible if we find the information about how they procreate.”
Lee Gun laughed as if he were baffled.
The old woman glared at him. “If a Creator can be acquired, one can get hold of the greatest power. However, Creators went extinct a long time ago. Aslan was the last one left, but he died too. When his body and soul went missing, our plan was ruined.”
Then, the old woman looked at Sagittarius as she let out a cold laugh. “Thankfully, we found out that the son of the Creator tribe’s chief had been reborn! We were overjoyed, yet… See what you’ve done?!”
Lee Gun contemptuously looked at Sagittarius as if to say how could a son of the chieftain cause the extinction of a tribe because he was covetous of his own tribe’s power.
Sagittarius, Aslan’s big brother, started to sweat. He had recovered his past life’s memories not too long ago, but he remembered it all clearly. This was why he could make no excuse.
On the other hand, Hugo let out a cold sweat when he heard the conversation. He didn’t care about Sagittarius’s identity.
‘Gun has to be prioritized.’
The sisters seemed to be unaware of it, but Lee Gun was a Creator. Getting out of this place was the right idea.
“He killed Aslan before we could possess him…!”
At that moment…
“Ah. Really? It was you guys?”
“!!”
Everyone was surprised by Virgo’s appearance.
Virgo looked at the goddesses of fate with contempt. “I knew you guys were sad for an entirely different reason when Aslan died.”
“…!”
“It’s true. You guys were the Constructs of the previous Serpent Bearer.”
“…!!”
The goddesses of fate were surprised.
Virgo laughed. “Well, all the other Constructs of the Serpent Bearer temple are all slaves, yet you guys are being treated well. That means you guys sold information about your master”
This meant they were never loyal to the Serpent Bearer. However, that wasn’t important right now.
“Before Aslan died, he did mention that others were aiming for the Creators. Was he referring to you guys?”
The old woman scoffed. “It seemed you liked Aslan, so you probably have a grudge against us. Unfortunately, Aslan wasn’t referring to us. Another group was already trying to acquire the Creators, so we followed suit.”
The old woman dismissed Virgo as she glared at Lee Gun. “Anyway, you have to revive this bastard’s ability, Snake god! You are capable of reviving that place with the power of Life!”
Lee Gun let out a menacing laugh. “I don't want to. I’m going to let him be like that for the rest of his life.”
The goddesses of fate scoffed. How dare he act so boldly in front of them?
“You didn’t learn your lesson during your fight against Hercules. You know what we can do.”
“Since you destroyed Olympus, we thought you were a big deal. We looked forward to your ranking, yet it was low.”
“It’s proof that you’re unable to properly use your Divine status yet!”
“Your power probably went berserk, and you were lucky enough to direct that power to the pillar gods! Don’t even try to claim you were responsible for doing it!”
At that moment, they summoned a book. It was the Divine item that could manipulate the fate of the gods.
Like the time when they had interfered with Lee Gun’s fight against Hercules, they planned on immobilizing Lee Gun.
Hoohng!
“!!”
As Lee Gun laughed, the eyes of the goddesses turned round.
Hugo instantly appeared above them. With violence in his eyes, he stole the book.
“Koo-oohk!”
“Bastard!!”
His ability was good enough that they weren’t able to sense his approach. This left them flustered.
‘What’s going on? There’s no way the Divine world was wrong in their assessment.’
On the other hand, Hugo furrowed his brows after stealing the book of fate. He looked at the goddesses.
‘Something is off.’
He had met the goddesses of fate when he was inside Hades’ palace. He had seen Giselle during that encounter.
Of course, he had been tortured and had been close to falling unconscious from fatigue. This was why his memory of that time was fuzzy, but he was sure of one thing.
‘They aren’t the ones I met.’
This was why this felt off.
‘Are there more goddesses of fate?’
When Hugo stole the book, the goddesses looked at Hugo in dismay.
“I can’t believe someone with your Achievement is staying next to the snake god.”
“What?”
“That Achievement can kill even the snake god”
The eyes of the goddesses of fate flashed as they approached Hugo.
“If you don’t plan on using it, give it to us!”
“Idiots! Who told you to covet what’s mine?”
The goddesses were taken aback when they felt the surge of power.
“Wait a moment! That power is…!”
“It is different from his ranking…!”
When the goddesses shouted that, a desperate voice came from their shadows.
[There was a problem with that part.]
It was a Construct of the goddesses.
[It hasn’t been published yet, but according to the civil servants, the assessment of his Divine statuses wasn’t included in his ranking…]
“What?!”
[When all the information was reflected in the ranking, even the civil servants were surprised by his rank…]
“The civil servants have to maintain peace at all times, yet they were surprised. How high is his ranking?”
Lee Gun smirked as if he had been waiting for this moment. He flicked his finger.
