Chapter 436 -Die (1)
Abyss’s attack destroyed the Middle world, where the goddesses of fate had been hiding.
“Ahhhh!!!”
The first ones to disappear to an unknown location were Abyss and Ennead’s Great Spirit. Then the disciples who had invaded the Middle world with the help of the Zodiacs were sent flying.
Koo-goo-goong!
“Damn it! The castle is falling.”
The ground split, and everyone fell toward an unknown underworld. It was a world from which chaotic pillars of black light were rising out.
The bloodied Leo saw these pillars of light and shouted,
[You must not fall there! You must avoid it at all costs!]
“What? Where does it lead to?!”
[It’s an entrance connected to the World of Emptiness!]
“Where the hell is that? Is it the Divine world?”
Leo shouted at Stevens.
[Just do as I say! Let’s head up!]
“Kuhk!”
The Zodiac grabbed Stevens and the Chun siblings with its mouth, then threw them upward. Leo had used all of his power, and he was about to fall toward the World of emptiness.
Chun Sungjae tried to teleport Leo, but his hand wouldn’t reach Leo.
Since he had suffered at the hands of Ennead’s Great Spirit, Leo was at his limit. He waved his paw.
[I’ll go through the process of inheritance, so it doesn’t matter. Protect that shabby snake god, who can’t go through inheritance!]
Leo was about to cease to exist, but…
Guisoon— No, Lee Gun quickly dove downward.
Tahk tahk!
“Guisoon!!”
She was extremely agile as she stepped on the debris to move toward Leo! Since Lee Gun was possessing her body, Guisoon displayed a movement that she could never achieve by herself. She grabbed Leo’s tail.
[Kuh-huhk!]
“You are my underling! How dare you try to loaf around on the job! Go back up and return to work!”
As if he was admonishing Leo for thinking about dying, Lee Gun threw the enormous Leo.
[Ahhhk!]
“Sungjae!”
Chun Sungjae nodded and activated his teleportation with everyone in tow.
And so Lee Gun was able to drag everyone back to the earth.
After returning to the earth, the group lay on the ground, gasping for breath.
When the possession through Zodiac Descent was released, Guisoon slumped to the ground.
The Chun siblings then looked for Lee Gun.
“Where’s Uncle?”
“Where is he that he couldn’t come himself instead of possessing Guisoon?”
[I’m over here.]
“!!”
A familiar voice rang out as a building exploded. Lee Gun walked out with annoyance written all over his face.
“Gun!”
Lee Gun had been imprisoned inside a small bottle. He came out as he kicked the broken bottle. However, his appearance was quite unusual.
“Uncle…is really small….”
They had been wondering why Lee Gun had used Zodiac Descent instead of coming himself. Now they had their answer.
Lee Gun was as tall as a thumb. It was a spell of Ennead’s Great Spirit.
Everyone got on their knees and lowered their heads as they tried to get on the same level as the thumb-sized Lee Gun.
“Gun!”
“Are you really Lee Gun?”
“Are you ok, Uncle?”
“Yes. There are no adverse effects on my body. But I’ll have a hard time fighting, so I’ll have to wait until it returns to normal.”
His words made Chun Sungjae rip open his shirt and roar, “I’ll sacrifice my body to you!!! You can come in anytime you want!!”
“?!”
Chun Sungjae cried out as he turned into a stacked blonde woman. Chun Sungjae was jealous that Lee Gun had possessed his sister and Guisoon.
“I’ll bathe and purify myself!!! No, the problem is that we have too many disciples in the Serpent Bearer temple! That is why you should excommunicate everyone except me— Kuh-huhk!!”
In the end, Demonic Sect Leader Chun Sungjae fell over after being hit by his sister.
Chun Yooha then handed pieces of paper to Lee Gun. “These are the leftovers of the Rule Book, Uncle. Will they be enough?”
“!”
Lee Gun laughed as he saw the remnants of the Rule Book. The Rule Book was a Divine item. Of course, Lee Gun could repair the Rule Book with the remnants. In fact, it would be much easier if he decided to create a new Rule Book with the remnants.
Flash!!
Lee Gun applied the Ten Heavenly God’s Creation power to his ability and created the Rule Book in a new form.
[A completely new Rule Book has been born.]
[It is a Rule Book with nothing written in it.]
The new Rule Book emerged, accompanying an enormous light.
Flash!!
An event that would build up the order of the universe had once again occurred.
The newly made Rule Book looked like a blank encyclopedia. That wasn’t all.
[The Rule Book has developed a sense of self.]
[The Rule Book will follow its parent. It is waiting for its parent to write a rule.]
[The newly born and young Rule Book would like you to give it a name.]
All the Constructs were surprised.
[The Rule Book has a sense of self…!]
[It’s also a blank Rule Book…!!]
[Does that mean Master can make new rules for the Divine world?!]
In other words, Lee Gun would be occupying the role of the Primordial god! Lee Gun would basically be the owner of the Divine world!
“I guess the name can be ‘Lee Gun-nim Says.’”
[The Rule Book has been named “Lee Gun-nim Says.”]
[“Lee Gun-nim Says” really likes its name. It is fluttering in joy.]
The mouths of the gods fell open.
‘He named it “Lee Gun-nim Says”…!!!’
‘The noble Rule Book contains tens of thousands of years’ worth of history, yet he named it that…!!’
Lee Gun didn’t care for their reactions. He called for one of the goddesses of fate who had taken on his image. “You guys managed over the Rule Book, so you must remember all the laws, right?”
[We do, but do you plan on writing the same rules? Any rule that Master writes from now on will become the new rule of the Divine world.]
“First, I want to separate the Divine world and the earth.”
When Lee Gun wagged his finger, the fountain pen in Guisoon’s hand came toward him in joy.
After taking the fountain pen, he used it to add content to the Rule Book.
- The Divine world doesn’t exist. It doesn’t exist at all. I don’t need it. Fuck off ㅗㅗ
[Master?!!!]
When the rule was added, an enormous change occurred to the earth.
[The existence of the Divine world has been annihilated.]
[The existence of the Divine world has disappeared from the universe.]
[Any trace of the Divine world disappeared from the earth.]
[Ahhhk!!!]
The gods screamed.
Lee Gun had made sure to annihilate the Divine world, so it wouldn’t even exist in the lexicon. Therefore, all the objects and land that seemed to belong to the Divine world started to cease to exist.
When the Divine world started to truly disappear, the Constructs as well as the gods cried out in despair as they looked at Lee Gun.
[Master!!!]
[If you do that, our homes…!]
[You crazy bastard!!! I told you to separate the earth and the Divine world! What are you doing eliminating the existence of the Divine world?]
This wasn’t about their desire to restore the Divine world. The gods were refugees, and their homeland no longer existed. They were in despair.
[Where do you want us to live if you do this…!!]
“It’s none of my business. You guys can live by putting up a tent outside in space.”
Lee Gun only cared about the earth becoming normal. He continued to add rules to the Rule Book.
- All gods will be expelled outside of the earth.
(Serpent Bearer temple is exempt)
[Ahhk?!!]
The first one to disappear was Leo. The affiliates under Lee Gun weren’t exempt.
All the gods who had come to the earth screamed as they disappeared. They were exiled from the earth.
Nothing happened to the Constructs of the Serpent Bearer temple, yet they looked taken aback.
On the other hand, Lee Gun shamelessly kept adding rules.
- Gods can never enter the earth (the Serpent Bearer temple is exempt).
- Gods can never cause harm to the earth (the Serpent Bearer temple is exempt).
- Gods who enter within 100 km of the earth will have to give everything they own (the Serpent Bearer temple is exempt).
(…etc…)
(…etc…)
He was satisfied after putting in a total of a hundred bad laws and brushed off his hands. “Alright. With this, those bastards can’t do anything to the earth."
[M…master.]
Mimir was sweating since he had never seen such a Rule Book.
‘Well, Ennead’s Great Spirit won’t be able to torment the earth with this, but…’
Lee Gun smirked when he felt Mimir’s gaze. “I told you before. This is temporary.”
[!]
“In the first place, laws are just wordplay. There are many loopholes if one wants to misuse them.”
This was the case with laws on the earth too. In many cases, laws were useless despite existing.
However, Lee Gun didn’t want to go through all the rules and patch all the loopholes. Even if he got rid of all the loopholes, it wouldn’t accomplish much.
“What if I am no longer here?”
“!”
Lee Gun was well aware of his weakness. “I am too young a being to be remembered by the universe. That’s why I can’t go through with inheritance.”
Chun Sungjae became angry. “What? Is the universe an idiot? Does it not realize Uncle is a god with great Achievements? Does it not realize how much you accomplished in such a short time? Shouldn’t it remember you better??!”
Chun Sungjae emphasized the point by saying that the universe had already stored Lee Gun’s data. It had already taken root.
Lee Gun said, “Anyway, the Rule Book is a stopgap measure. It isn’t the true solution.”
He had to get rid of Abyss and Ennead’s Great Spirit. Above all else, the Rule Book contained laws for the gods. It wouldn’t work against the Cluders. He was thinking about getting rid of them…
Kwahng!!!!
“!!”
A large explosion occurred at a nearby location, surprising everyone.
“Is it a Zodiac?”
“There is no way…! Uncle chased out all the gods that might cause harm to the earth!”
They soon realized the source of the explosion.
“I think it’s monsters!”
“Monsters?!”
Lee Gun furrowed his brows when he heard it was the Cluders.
It was correct. The ones who had caused the explosion were the monarchs. However, Lee Gun furrowed his brows for an entirely different reason.
He just had to get rid of the monsters invading them. However, he had heard an unexpected name.
- Lee Gun-nim! It’s Hugo-nim! He’s here with monarchs!
The problem was the eyewitness account of the disciples who came with the news. In essence, Hugo had appeared on the earth with the monarchs.
- It seems he came to hunt down humanity with the Cluders, right?
They anxiously asked for Lee Gun’s opinion. It was for no other reason.
- It seems Hugo-nim attacked the disciples. Jaewon-nim was also…
Lee Jaewon had seemingly fallen off a cliff when Hugo had attacked him.
Naturally, this was a worrying development for humanity.
Lee Gun had to raise his eyebrows.
‘That bastard attacked Jaewon of all people?’
After he had heard the story from Aslan, Lee Gun had thought there was a bit of misunderstanding regarding Hugo, but it seemed Hugo was a Cluder through and through.
So everyone scattered to kill the monsters, searching for Hugo.
“Ahhhk!!”
“Sungjae!”
Suddenly, Chun Sungjae’s scream rang nearby. It wasn’t a normal scream.
Surprised, Lee Gun moved toward where the sound came from. Murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
“That bastard…”
He found both Sungjae and Hugo bloodied.
The disciples were shocked by this sight.
“Hugo-nim…!! He attacked the Serpent Bearer’s Zodiac Saint!”
Chun Yooha checked her bloodied younger brother in surprise.
With a cold look in his eyes, Lee Gun chased Hugo, who was leaving the scene. The Serpent Bearer couldn’t suppress the murderous intent in his eyes; Hugo had gone so far as to attack his own child.
Chun Yooha looked at her bloodied younger brother. “Sungjae! Are you ok? Did Dad really do this to you? Wake up!”
“My god! I can’t believe he attacked his son. Did he switch sides?”
At that moment, a pained Chun Sungjae grabbed his sister. “Noona. No… It wasn’t dad. Dad saved me…!”
“What?!”
By this time, Hugo had moved away from his children. He arrived at a deserted location.
‘Damn it! I never expected there to be leftovers here.’
He had a big fight with Wind, and he had come here, clutching at his stomach. It was a wound that he had received while fighting Wind.
That was why the second-generation monarchs were chasing Hugo. Of course, they were without reigns, so several of them had come to the earth to rampage.
Therefore, Hugo had rushed here to clean up the mess, and he had gotten rid of the ones going on the rampage.
‘Anyway, I should hurry up and leave the earth…’
Hugo checked if no one was nearby, then he was about to leave.
Bbah-gahk!!!!
“Kuh-huhk!!!”
However, a flying kick came toward him from nowhere. Receiving a kick in the face, Hugo was sent flying.
Hugo was confused when he looked at his surroundings. “What the hell! No one is here— Kuh-huhk!!!”
This time, something came from the sky and struck him at the crown of his head. Despite having the power of a monarch, Hugo felt an impact that made him feel as if his body would be destroyed. He vomited blood.
Hugo also realized who the culprit was.
“You little maggot.”
“?!”
It sounded like a mosquito, yet his ears had picked up a familiar voice! “Gun— Kuh-huhk!!!”
Hugo was finally able to see him. The one kicking him was a thumb-sized Lee Gun!
At the same time, Lee Gun changed his appearance.
Puhng!!
“…!!!”
He returned to his normal size, but Hugo didn’t even have time to be surprised.
“Kuhk!!”
After returning to his original size, Lee Gun immediately grabbed Hugo by the throat. Then he slammed Hugo to the ground.
Lee Gun raised Heaven’s Punishment. “Die, immoral bastard.”
Hugo screamed.
