Chapter 413 - What happened? (3)
[I’ll let the inheritance happen. I will become your Construct.]
The evil gods screamed at the unexpected answer.
[No! Master!!!]
[What are you saying?]
[You shouldn’t agree to it right now!]
[Why did he have to regain his senses right at this moment?]
[If you’ve regained your mind, you just have to dismiss him as a Construct…]
The Primordial god’s intention was clear. It didn’t matter what his underlings said.
[I’ll let the inheritance happen. I will become your Construct.]
[You don’t have to repeat yourself!]
[If you’ve regained your mind, you just have to dismiss him as a Construct…]
[Oh no! He hasn’t regained his mind!!]
[Master!!]
Despite showing an iron will up to this point, Hugo was also surprised.
Of course, the Primordial god wasn’t well. It seemed only the minimum amount of his intelligence was left behind.
However, in this context, inheritance meant death in this context for the Primordial god. Despite being in this state, the Primordial god possessed great power, and that great power protected his body.
His defensive instinct wouldn’t accept the inheritance process, and the evil gods wouldn’t stand by either.
‘I knew we would fight them, so I planned on killing the Primordial god for him.’
Hugo was slowly regaining his power. It would be tough, but it wouldn’t be impossible for him to kill the damaged Primordial god.
[Except, it cannot be done through self-destruction.]
[Master?]
The enormous dark giant looked at Lee Gun as he spoke.
[If I die, this dimension will be destroyed.]
The Primordial god was basically the source of everything. He was the king of the gods and, at the same time, the foundation holding up the Divine world. This was why his gender wasn’t fixed either.
Soon, the evil gods spoke.
[That’s right. That is the reason we opposed it.]
[The exact second when the Primordial god’s life ends, all life forms will die. The gods, dimensions, and everything else will turn to null. Do you get what I’m saying?]
[You will kill all the humans of the earth, who you treasure!]
Lee Gun’s eyebrows rose. “Damn it! What do you want me to do? Do you want me to get by without using my power?”
[That’s….!]
“If so, all of you should get the hell out of my face. Never appear in front of me again.”
[No!!! The Great Spirits won’t leave you alone!]
[The Primordial god doesn’t wish that to happen!!]
When the evil gods became angry, Lee Gun wanted to flip the proverbial dining table. “Damn it! So what do you want me to do? Should I just kill all of you?!”
[Ahhk! How dare a child speak such thoughtless words toward his ancestors!!]
[How can you call yourself our descendant!!]
[You are breaking the hearts of your ancestors, you asshole!]
“Who cares! Fuck off! In terms of the age gap, you guys are ancestors older than the age of homo sapiens! Why do you keep saying you are my ancestors?”
[W-What the hell did you just say? You little shit?!]
“Or are you guys Australopithecus? Anyway, you guys are apes!!”
The evil gods couldn't believe it. Lee Gun’s ruthless insults had shocked them.
[D-Damn it! This kid was raised wrong! Someone should educate him on morals and character!!]
[Grandma!!!]
[Teacher!!!]
Lee Gun’s Constructs started sweating when they saw the evil gods at a loss for what to do.
[Are all Creators… Did they always have such personalities?]
‘They are supposed to be a famous group of geniuses…’
‘They are supposed to be an incredibly powerful tribe…’
‘They were the object of our envy… They are…!’
The Creators were gods of techniques. They were non-fighters, yet they were insanely powerful.
There was a reason they had been able to capture Eternal Change.
Despite there being a small number of them, they were comparable in power to the Great Spirits, who ruled over tens of thousands of gods.
Yeonwoo cleared her throat when she saw this.
‘Mmm… Our previous master did have a similar personality.’
Soon, the evil gods spoke.
[Anyway, you cannot kill the Primordial god!]
[It will mess up the order of the Universe…!]
The Primordial God interrupted them.
[You don’t have to do that. You have a system itself that turns others into your Constructs.]
[M-Master?]
Lee Gun tilted his head when he heard the Primordial god’s words. “I have a system that turns others into Constructs?”
[I’m talking about weapons.]
“!”
Lee Gun immediately understood what he meant. Every item he made could be engraved so that it belonged to him. It also established a master-servant relationship as soon as he created the items.
The Primordial god explained.
[You don’t have to kill me. You can transform me into a Divine item. This will effectively act as an inheritance and a master-servant relationship will be established.]
[Master!!]
[Also, you like making weapons.]
Lee Gun laughed as if he had accepted the reasoning behind it. “You are right.”
Since the gods coveted his lands, he had to regain his power. When Lee Gun extended his hand, the Evil gods screamed.
[W-Wait a moment!]
[How dare you treat the Primordial god like scrap metal! Masterrrr!!]
However, they didn’t even have the chance to stop him. Lee Gun immediately used his ability.
[Primordial God will be changed into an item.]
[Primordial God will be changed into the Divine item of Cycle.]
[Primordial God has been reborn as No Name.]
Accompanying a light, the enormous giant changed in shape. It became smaller.
When the light disappeared, an unfamiliar-looking Primordial god fell toward Lee Gun.
[M…Master?]
Then enormous energy soaked into Lee Gun.
Everyone was surprised by the new appearance of the Primordial god, who had fallen toward Lee Gun.
“He is…a child?”
A child with long hair fluttering in the air gently fell into Lee Gun’s arms.
[Inheritance has been completed.]
[The master-servant relationship has been flipped.]
[You have become the owner of the Primordial god.]
[The Serpent Bearer’s power and position have changed.]
* * *
[I never imagined you would look like this.]
After the Primordial god entered the hands of Lee Gun, the four Evil gods conversed with Scorpio.
It had been a very long time since the five comrades were able to meet in one place.
[Anyway, we were worried because you were the only one who suddenly went missing that day.]
[I never expected Eternal Change to turn you into this.]
[Well, the more surprising part was that Eternal Change was reborn as a human…]
Scorpio became enraged at those words.
When her Zodiac Saint had asked for a favor, Scorpio had saved Hugo’s wife. However, once she figured out his identity, she wanted to rip him apart. She had barely held herself back.
[If it weren’t for Aslan’s request…]
[Aslan? That child asked that of you?]
[That’s right.]
After Aslan had found her, Scorpio wanted to go and kill Eternal Change as soon as possible. At the time, Eternal Change had been imprisoned within the Great Spirit’s prison. However…
- I owe my life to Eternal Change.
- What?
- He likes Creators more than anyone I know.
Just the thought of Aslan’s ridiculous words made Scorpio angry even to this day.
[He claims to like Creators, yet he caused their downfall. It still doesn’t make any sense.]
The four evil gods became doubtful.
[I’m not so sure. The one that brought down the Creators was that kid, right?]
[Balan’s son… What was his name? Yes, Galan.]
[He was Aslan’s half-brother.]
They were talking about Sagittarius.
[Anyway, we fell to Galan and those who came with him.]
[Well… It happened after we became like this, so we don’t know the exact details. But…]
The five of them were elders who were supposed to lead the Creators. However, they had been chased out of the Divine world when the Primordial god was assassinated. They were left to be in this state.
[That’s right. The one to kill the Creators wasn’t Eternal Change. It was Galan. While Galan was an excellent student, he had a lot of discontentment toward our tribe.]
[Since we were of the same tribe, he would have known the exact date and time when the Creator’s power was weakened.]
It made Scorpio click her tongue.
[No. Galan is collateral kin. While he was the oldest son, he didn’t know much about the Creators. He was excluded from our work.]
It meant the only one who knew the secrets of the Creators was Eternal Change, who had been by Balan’s side.
[The one to spread the information about the weakness of the Creators was Eternal Change. He’s the one who leaked it to Galan and his group.]
Scorpio ground her teeth.
[He probably killed all the Creators since he wanted to be released from his captivity.]
[!]
Eternal Change had been a prisoner, and the Creators had been his guards. The only reason a being of that caliber was imprisoned was that the guards were the Creators.
‘A restriction was placed on his soul, so his true nature was suppressed, too.’
In other words, the restriction wouldn’t disappear completely until all the Creators were gone. That was the Contract.
[While almost all the Creators were killed that day, Eternal Change was unable to run away.]
Aslan had survived, but he was the only survivor.
[This was why the restriction placed on him was still valid. It allowed him to be placed in the Great Spirit’s prison for killing the Creators.]
The proof was in his actions after Aslan had died.
[When even the last survivor died in Aslan, Eternal Change broke out of the jail like a lunatic. He killed and ate the gods with glee. He even called the other monarchs in.]
With Aslan’s death, the old restriction placed on Eternal Change had been released. After being released, the monarch had called for his comrades, and they had smashed the Divine world. It had been a hellish event.
[It was an absolute slaughter. Of course, it was unexpected that such a strong being was caught so easily.]
Everyone still remembered Eternal Change’s public execution. It was such a big deal that all the gods of the Divine world had gathered to watch it. Scorpio had also watched it from the shadows.
The monarch had shown no signs of remorse as he was dragged away to Mahabharata’s Samsara hell.
- Idiot Creators.
She had heard Eternal Change mutter those insults.
- I will be born once again. When I do, I’ll eat all of you.
Now, events were repeating themselves.
[Since a Creator was born again, the restriction spell activated once again. That’s why he wants to kill the last remaining baby snake so that he can take off that restriction placed on him.]
The evil gods had serious expressions on their faces when they heard Scorpio’s words.
[… Still, he was making a big deal about wanting to see his niece or nephew….]
[What?]
[… He was very active in pushing your Zodiac Saint…]
[Also, the Scorpio Saint is… Wouldn’t it be a problem if she gets together with him?]
[Well, she’s pretty.]
Their remarks angered Scorpio.
[Are you siding with a monarch right now?]
[No!]
Well, it didn’t matter.
Scorpio was about to say something when she flinched.
[What’s wrong?]
When the evil gods asked, Scorpio looked toward the outside.
[Damn bastard!]
[!]
[Galan… No, Sagittarius is here.]
* * *
Sagittarius had appeared within Scorpio’s territory, to get rid of Eternal Change. No, he came to get rid of Hugo.
‘I’ll die if I can’t get rid of him.’
The proof was the symbol of the raven tattooed on his neck. It was a surveillance-type Construct.
‘They are the eyes of Valhalla’s Great Spirit.’
They were Huginn and Muninn, raven gods that accompanied Valhalla’s Great Spirit. They were his eyes and ears, and they were now tailing him.
‘If I fail or I cooperate with the other side, he’ll be notified immediately.’
Then Sagittarius would be immediately executed. This was why he had no choice but to come here. The excuse that he was currently a human hadn’t worked either.
- I’ll take care of that part.
Sagittarius had acquired the power of a god, and he sighed as he looked at Hugo. In truth, he never thought his Zodiac Saint would turn out to be Eternal Change.
‘Why did it have to be him?’
During his days as “Galan,” to take down his father, Sagittarius had attacked the Creators on the day they were weakened.
He had come face to face with Eternal Change as he killed his tribe.
Eternal Change had scoffed when he saw Galan.
- Hmmph. You betrayed your father? Interesting.
- …!
Afterward, he had killed the Creator that had accompanied Eternal Change. Of course, his co-conspirator had said Eternal Change had killed the Creators. This allowed them to summon the Great Spirits, and Eternal Change was captured.
‘That bastard is….’
Sagittarius wasn’t sure what he was going to do about Gun, but he had to get rid of Eternal Change.
‘The Divine world won’t let me be otherwise.’
It was his fault for choosing Eternal Change as his Zodiac Saint. Of course, he didn’t have plans to completely screw over Hugo. Since he couldn’t avoid the gaze of the Great Spirit, he’d visit Mahabharata after killing Hugo. He planned on secretly reincarnating Hugo.
‘This is the only way where everyone will get to live.’
Of course, Gun would be apoplectic if Sagittarius killed and reincarnated Hugo. Gun would try to kill him, but it didn’t matter right now.
‘My nephew can’t use his power because of the Primordial god.’
That was how it was supposed to be….
‘…why is the Primordial god under Gun?!!’
Sagittarius had a mental breakdown when he arrived at the Scorpio temple’s holy ground. He pulled at his hair as he looked at the child in Lee Gun’s arms.
“Why are you here?”
“…!!!”
At that moment, Lee Gun smiled as if he had just noticed Sagittarius, and Sagittarius trembled.
“I don’t know how you did it, but you have Divine status now. It doesn’t seem like you came here to play either.”
Sagittarius glared at him. “I am here to get rid of Eternal Change. You won’t suffer any damage from it. Just look the other way.”
“Are you begging to be killed by me right now?”
“He is someone who should have lived and died as a human! But now that he is awakening as a monarch, it’s a different story!”
“You can’t. Go back.”
“It doesn’t matter what you say. The Zodiac Saint contract is still valid. I can retrieve Hugo’s soul. I'll tell you this beforehand. You cannot stop this.”
Lee Gun looked at Sagittarius as if the latter were speaking nonsense. Then he waved something in the air.
Sagittarius froze when he saw the item. “That is…!”
In the past, he had given Lee Gun a wish ticket in return for Lee Gun fixing the Sagittarius temple’s royal holy item!
“Do you remember this? You said you’d grant me any wish.”
Sagittarius became angry. “You are going to use it right now?! Have you lost your mind? You are going to use it for such a trivial matter?!”
“Yes.”
“Are you saying you don’t care if your uncle takes all the blame and dies!”
“Yes. I don’t.”
Sagittarius grabbed the back of his neck. Ungrateful little prick…?!
