Chapter 376 - These Punks (3)
“Damn it! Really!” Sagittarius screamed.
Lee Gun had grabbed him from behind.
On the other side, Hugo had his bow drawn. Hugo felt uncomfortable at the idea of shooting Sagittarius, so he glanced at his friend.
Seeing Hugo being indecisive, Lee Gun said as if to ask what he was doing, “It’s alright. He won’t die. Hurry up and shoot him.”
“No!”
Sagittarius was going to be transformed into his nephew through Hugo’s arrow of beauty. The god of the sun looked at Lee Gun to ask him to stop all of this.
He had indeed committed wrongs against his nephew. Moreover, Lee Gun was the head god of the thirteenth Zodiacs. Still, there were things that one didn’t do.
“I can’t believe you’re thinking about selling me off to Kunlun! That’s nonsense!”
Yes, Lee Gun had whispered words that Sagittarius couldn’t comprehend. Then he had dragged Sagittarius away, saying Sagittarius had to prepare himself to go to Kunlun.
Lee Gun told Hugo to use his power of beauty. It was the same concept as that of turning the goddesses of fate into ally dolls.
After changing the god of the sun into a version of himself, Lee Gun probably planned on handing him over as the bride of Kunlun.
Sagittarius might have had a shot at escaping if he were a god right now, but he was in human form. He was lacking in power compared to Lee Gun.
Therefore, Sagittarius grabbed Lee Gun and sincerely said, “I’m sorry for the wrongs I did you, Nephew. Let’s just let the past be bygones.”
Sagittarius had cheated Lee Gun out of a lot of the repair fees. Since Lee Gun didn’t have a Zodiac, Sagittarius had cheated Lee Gun a little(?). He had sold Lee Gun holy items, claiming they would increase his fighting ability.
“I am your uncle, Nephew!”
“I know. That’s why I want you to go have a happy life in Kunlun.” Lee Gun let out a bright smile, and Sagittarius felt like dying.
Lee Gun’s Constructs were sweating.
‘Sagittarius is famous in the Divine world, yet he is…!’
‘He’s known as the White Reaper and is ranked highly amongst the Divine world’s ranking…!’
There was a reason the Great Spirits of various factions ground their teeth when it came to him. He was a god with dignity…
“Nephew, let this one slide just this once!!”
Cold sweats ran down the Constructs when they saw Sagittarius helpless before Lee Gun.
At that moment, Sagittarius became serious. It was like the time with Ennead. He wouldn’t survive if he was sold to Kunlun.
‘There is no way they'll let me be.’
No other god in the Divine world had as many enemies as Sagittarius had.
“Also, do you realize what kind of place Kunlun is? Do you realize why the Great Spirit has 13,887 brides? Do you know why his younger sister has 19,787 husbands?”
“They are degenerates?”
“No! Eighty percent of them die! Most of them die on the first night!”
“!”
Hugo’s eyes turned round as his bow remained drawn.
Desperate, Sagittarius grabbed Lee Gun’s shoulders. “It doesn't matter which faction they come from. They all die for some reason. Of course, I have an idea why.”
“What happens?”
“They have their yin and yang sucked away. Anyway, a marriage to them is a death sentence!”
Lee Gun was dumbfounded. He scoffed. “Why do you want me getting married if it’s certain death?”
“You’re a god of Life. Of course, you will survive!”
“Right. You are the god of the sun, which never extinguishes. You’ll live too.”
“Damn it!”
Of course, 99.9% of the reason Lee Gun was doing this was torturing Sagittarius, but his eyes became serious. “I heard you stole something from the Great Spirit of Ennead.”
“!”
“I want you to steal something from Kunlun, something I want.”
Sagittarius flinched when he heard what it was. Why did Lee Gun want him to bring that of all things?
“Of course, Kunlun is rich, so it’ll be great if you steal their money too.”
Sagittarius was dismayed. “Do you really think that the Great Spirit and Xiwangmu will fall for it?”
They ruled over thousands of Zodiacs for a reason. While their smiling faces looked innocent enough, there was a venomous streak within them. One couldn’t tell how deep it went.
“Moreover, Kunlun is very cruel. If I get caught, they’ll really kill me…”
However, Lee Gun smiled as if he didn’t care. “Fuck off! I have a way that’ll make it so that they won’t find out.”
“What?”
Lee Gun immediately placed a hand on his body and activated his ability.
[Material Creation (Life 3 star)]
A blinding light flashed, and Lee Gun made the same clothes that he was wearing. He had cloned them. Then he activated his next ability.
[Creation Workshop (Creator 1 star)]
A light appeared beneath his feet.
Hugo’s eyes turned round, the reason being the magic circle of the Serpent Bearer temple, which always appeared when the Creation Workshop was activated; the shape of the magic circle had changed.
Normally, in the symbol, three snakes intertwined with each other, and two of them looked like they were guarding the remaining snake. However, it was different now.
‘There are only two snakes.’
Its shape reminded him of Cycle. It seemed like instead of one of the three snakes disappearing, the snakes had evolved.
‘Now that I think about it, Gun did say his abilities re-awakened after he arrived in the Divine world.’
Skill was a form of technique, and ability was something only gods possessed. This was merely a guess, but this shape signified the god of Cycle.
‘Does that mean those snakes will evolve into one?’
[You have passed on data from the Creation Workshop.]
[Personal characteristics (Freak Genius) have been used. It has allowed you to add attributes to the armor.]
[No one will notice (EX)]
- Manufacturer: Lee Gun
- Armor Type (Defense SSS)
- The data of Confusion and Oblivion has been used. It confuses your opponent’s awareness.
- Additional function granted: Makes one look alluring
Finally, Lee Gun handed over the completed clothes to Sagittarius. “That lecher won’t notice if you use these. Mmm. I haven’t tested them, so it’s a maybe.”
“!!”
This bastard was really planning on selling his uncle to Kunlun!
“Ah! Let me give you a warning. You must never take them off. It’ll all be for nothing even if a bit of the clothes come off. That’s why you should protect your chastity.”
“#$*$#&*!” Sagittarius grabbed the back of his neck. If he knew all of this, why the hell did he add a function that made one look alluring?
Lee Gun was a god of technique and a Creator. The special attribute of the Creators was Creation, and in the case of Lee Gun, that power became abundant when used on equipment.
The item was probably 100% effective, but…!
“You should have added an attribute of revulsion instead! It’s a problem if he recognizes me, and it would also be a problem if he doesn’t recognize me!”
“I don’t care what happens to you after you are sold off!”
“?!”
Lee Gun laughed as he grabbed Sagittarius’s hand. “Since I’m sorry, I’ll give you a gift.”
“!”
Sagittarius’s face stiffened when he saw the bottle in his hand.
[Fast Hair growth solution (EX)]
- Hair loss healing elixir made using Super Regeneration and the drug-making ability of Aquarius
- In just three days, your hair will grow plentiful.
“…”
“Have a nice life. When you divorce him, you should take all of his wealth as alimony. However, it is up to you to protect your chastity.”
Sagittarius let out a soundless scream.
* * *
The Peach Blossom Spring, far away from the Dimensional Crack.
Xiwangmu and the Constructs of Kunlun, who had been looking over Lee Gun, inwardly let out sighs of relief.
“Thankfully, the snake god agreed to come over to Kunlun.”
“Are you sure this will be fine?”
They had heard the rumors going around the civil servants.
“From what I heard, the ranking hasn’t been refreshed yet, but the snake god’s ranking isn't what it’s right now. You must know what that means…”
This made Xiwangmu laugh.
“It might be higher than expected. He might still be getting stronger by the time the ranking is renewed.”
“What?! It’ll go up more?!”
They looked at Xiwangmu, having no idea what she was thinking.
Xiwangmu let out a beautiful smile. “There is a chance he’ll get evaluated highly if you consider his Divine status.”
“What do you mean…”
“He possesses the power of the Primordial god.”
“!”
The complexion on the Constructs’ faces immediately changed. The Primordial god was the king of gods. The Divine statues the Primordial god possessed were used to create the Divine world. It was a power that existed since the start of creation and a source of power for the universe.
Xiwangmu let out a meaningful smile. “The Great Spirit of Kunlun is the same. Like the snake god, he possesses one of the powers of the Primordial god. What do you think will come out if our Divine status is combined with his?”
“That’s the reason behind the marriage…”
Xiwangmu laughed.
‘Of course, the Great Spirit does fancy the snake god. It’s probably 90% of the reason. However, it doesn’t matter.’
Though, she was worried about Hugo, whom the snake god kept near him. Hugo was the Construct that Kunlun had won through a successful bid.
While the 600% Faith was tempting, she had found it odd that Valhalla wanted him as well. This was why Kunlun had overwhelmed the auction from the start.
‘His identity bothers me.’
“If the snake dies when he meets the Great Spirit, we’ll just take his Divine status. If he survives, it’ll be important to get a baby god from the union.”
“However, the younger sister of the Great Spirit seems to be greatly interested in the snake god. She said he’s cool…”
Xiwangmu smiled. “It doesn’t matter if the Great Spirit takes the snake god as his bride or his younger sister takes him as a husband. It doesn’t matter.”
“That means….”
“I want you to make preparations to send the snake god as a husband to the younger sister.”
“What should we do with the rest?”
The goddess smiled brightly as she spoke.
* * *
“Ohh!”
The Constructs of Kunlun showed admiration when Lee Gun’s party made their appearance.
“Oh! That’s a great Divine item! I’m sure it’s worth a lot!”
Lee Gun and his constructs had shown up, holding a fancy palanquin.
“Let’s depart.”
Cuss words could be heard coming from the palanquin.
“No. Don’t depart— Koohk!”
Lee Gun kicked the palanquin.
Inside the palanquin was Sagittarius, covered with a thick veil and cloth. The cloth encased him from head to toe. He was unrecognizable and felt like dying.
The reason was what Lee Gun had said.
[I want you to steal the Heavenly Peach from Kunlun. I heard it’s loathed in the Great Spirit’s garden.]
Lee Gun had been aiming for the peach from the start.
[Eden or whatever went to the earth. I’m sure I’ll have to use Cycle. You’re already aware of this. It takes a really long time to raise the EXP of Life.]
He could raise Death through indiscriminate killing.
[Anyway, Kunlun’s Heavenly Peach is a Divine item that can raise the power of Life by a lot.]
It would allow Lee Gun to quickly fill up the requirement needed to use Cycle. Still, this was too much!
‘It’s a precious treasure. There is only one!’
Hugo whispered to Lee Gun. They didn’t care if Sagittarius was suffering or not. “Thankfully, they didn’t notice. If we’re lucky, the Great Spirit won’t notice either.”
Lee Gun laughed. He had made sure to clone Sagittarius’s Divine status. Either he could use it on the earth, or he could give it to Hugo.
Soon, Lee Gun said, “As promised, you’ll give us the location of the exit leading to the earth. We’ll also take the wedding present here.”
“Yes. Here it is. However, we must do something before that.”
The Constructs of Kunlun had been looking at the treasures behind their backs, and peculiar smiles suddenly appeared on their lips.
“Aside from the snake god, we’ll process the others according to the rules.”
The Constructs of Kunlun surrounded Lee Gun’s party.
‘!’
When Lee Gun and his party wondered what they were doing, the Constructs of Kunlun laughed as if it was no big deal.
“Do not worry! Aside from the snake god, all his Constructs will be transferred over to our side.”
“!”
“This is in case the bride changes his mind.”
“That’s right. He might be aiming for the Great Spirit’s wealth. What if he runs away with it?”
An enormous light surged up from the ground. Sagittarius, who was within the palanquin, was surprised to see chains.
‘This is Kunlun’s Construct Transfer!!’
It forcefully bound the soul to change the affiliation of the Constructs! In other words, they would become slaves of Kunlun! It was why a high proportion of the gods were affiliated under Kunlun.
This power encroached upon everyone, including Sagittarius.
‘Shit! This is dangerous!’
Lee Gun’s eyes flashed. At that moment…
[The snake god is my prey, insolent fools!!!]
Kwahng!!
The ground exploded, accompanied by a familiar voice. Menacing eyes appeared from the shadows of the Kunlun gods.
The gods were shocked.
“That bastard is…!”
“Abyss!!”
The gods of Kunlun were in a state of turmoil at the sudden appearance of a monarch. This monarch was one of the leaders of the Cluders! It considered gods food!
“Bastard! It was said that you were hiding within the Divine world! You were here!”
[I can be anywhere. I can hide anywhere. I just need evil intent.]
“…!”
Abyss’s eyes flashed within the shadows.
[How dare Kunlun lay hands on my prey! You have guts!!]
Abyss would rather take Lee Gun for itself if he was being sent to Kunlun. The monarch’s shadow encircled the palanquin.
The gods of Kunlun flinched.
“No! He took the bride of the Great Spirit!”
“Hurry up and save the snake god!”
When the palanquin was lifted into the air, the gods of Kunlun yelled out in desperation.
“Snake god! What are you doing? Hurry up and exit the palanquin!”
Sagittarius, who was within the palanquin, felt like dying.
‘Shit! I’ll die if I get to Kunlun. However, nothing will be left of me if I follow the monarch!’
In the end, Sagittarius was going to ask for help from Lee Gun, so he was about to open the door.
“?!”
However, Lee Gun and Hugo were missing from the scene of pandemonium. Moreover, they had taken all the wedding gifts Kunlun gave in exchange for the bride!!
‘Ahhk! They ran away without me!!’
Koo-goo-goong!
Abyss swallowed Lee Gun and the palanquin. No, it swallowed Sagittarius.
“!!”
The gods of Kunlun were shocked and dismayed. Then their eyes flashed with anger.
“That bastard!”
“Call for the Great Spirit and all his troops!”
“Chase it! This is war!!”
* * *
Lee Gun’s party had stolen all the items brought by Kunlun, and they were currently screaming. One of the items that Lee Gun had run away with was the Pathfinder (Teleportation) Box, and he had activated it.
The box suddenly changed into a large toad, and the toad swallowed the entire party. It was unclear as to how much time had passed.
Ptooey!
The toad spat out Lee Gun’s party when it arrived at the destination. Lee Gun’s party fell atop an enormous door.
Koohng!!
The door was like the ground where one couldn’t see the end. It was a steel door with a large symbol engraved on it.
[Door connected to the earth!]
The continent that they were standing on was practically the door. It was overwhelmingly massive.
Hugo tried to open the firmly shut door using his strength. “It isn’t budging at all…!!”
The toad changed back into a small box. Lee Gun put it away and gestured with his hand. He was telling them to move. “Get out of the way.”
“Are you going to break it?!”
“Why would I do that?”
Lee Gun laughed as he took out Set from the toad. “Open the door.”
“Kuh-huhk! Stop! Kuhk!”
Lee Gun choked Set, and the latter had to use his ability. Then, light exploded forth from the door.
After forcing Set to open the door, Lee Gun approached the crack in the door. He grabbed the firmly shut door and pulled on it using his strength. Then something surprising happened.
Doo-doo-doohk!
The door that hadn’t budged at all started to open. The earth could be seen through the opened crack.
