Chapter 336
Lee Gun’s eyes flashed savagely.
Yooha tilted her head in puzzlement. She couldn’t understand his reaction. “What does it say?”
Yooha couldn’t read the content of the letter in Sagittarius’s hands, as it was written in the language of the gods.
This wasn’t the case with Lee Gun. He had stolen holy item designs from Capricorn and had self-taught himself the basics of how to manufacture holy items. Although it had been a short process, he had learned their language.
So Lee Gun nonchalantly said, “It basically says your dad was sold.”
“D
Dad was sold?” It was rare to see Yooha freeze up.
Lee Gun tousled her hair as if to reassure her. “Uncle will get him back. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Of course, Hugo had left behind a rubbish letter saying “Don’t come looking for me.” and “Nothing good happened to me once you came back.”, but

‘Who cares about such a letter?’
It didn’t change that Lee Gun would still go and take Hugo back. “I wonder if it’ll be possible.”
“!”
Lee Gun glared at Sagittarius, since the god of the sun was throwing cold water on his plan.
Sagittarius held up another letter. He seemed to have stolen it from the pigeon-headed Zodiac that Yooha had defeated. “The problem is that a civil employee of the Divine World possesses a letter like this one”
“!”
Lee Gun furrowed his brows. The civil employees had gotten on his bad side because of the incident at the entry evaluation center. “What about them?”
Sagittarius read the content. He wanted Lee Gun to hear it. “Listen, gods. A low-rank snake god from the border area is aiming for the 600%-faith Construct.”
“!”
“The 600%-faith Construct will be a useful shared resource for the Zodiacs of the Divine world. Despite knowing this, the low-rank snake god will come looking for his Construct. According to the contract of the Divine world, you are ordered to banish and interfere with the low-rank Zodiac in question—”
Sagittarius suddenly cringed. It was because Lee Gun had picked up his cudgel. “I’m just reading what is written here! These aren’t my words!”
Sagittarius was aggrieved at the expression on Lee Gun’s face. “It seems the Zodiacs don’t care about their factions. They plan on colluding on this matter. Bunch of maggots—”
“You are a Zodiac like them.”
When Lee Gun lifted his fist, Sagittarius quickly grabbed his arm. “Nephew! Let’s use talk instead! Aren’t you a Zodiac too?!”
“What did you just say?” Lee Gun didn’t want to be put in the same basket as them, so he was about to rip out Sagittarius’s wig.
Sagittarius became serious as he defended his head. “Are you really this oblivious? The civil employees were paid off behind the back. They are all on the same side. This has never happened before!”
Lee Gun snorted. “Who cares about that? I now know the location. I’ll just have to go and get him.”
“That’s all the more reason not to do it.”
Lee Gun raised his eyebrows as if to say what nonsense Sagittarius was speaking.
Sagittarius pointed at the letter in Lee Gun’s hand. “The letter says Duat, right?”
“!”
Lee Gun looked at the letter again.
「The location of the transfer will be Duat. May the blessing of Ennead be with you.」
Sagittarius said, “Duat is the underworld
 In other words, the world of the dead. The world of the dead is a special region that not even gods can enter.”
It was a part of the Divine world, yet the divine status of the netherworld had to approve one’s entry. Not even the Great Spirits could enter it without permission.
“The world of the dead is divided into regions. Duat is the most unfriendly region. It’s an isolated region.”
Hades ruled over the underworld of Tartarus. The Pluton dimension was a tourist attraction with hot springs and prostitution. The Samsara underworld was an enormous plantation with agricultural plants. It was also where one received mental training.
On the other hand, Duat was used by the gods of the underworld as a place of torture.
“The Ennead faction rules that place, and they are the cruelest faction amongst the eight great forces. Also, you should watch this before you do anything. This was taken especially for you.”
“!”
Sagittarius took out a little machine from his pocket. When he pressed the button, a hologram appeared.
[It’s the highest in history!!]
[He is a Construct with 600% Faith.]
[Everyone gathered here is a prominent figure. Each of you will have a different way of using this high faith.]
[You can brainwash him. You can kill his personality. You can even change his memories.]
[His face is decent, so you can use him as a body slave. His fighting ability is high, so you can use him in numerous ways.]
[Anyone would be better than his previous owner!]
[Kyaaa! Husband!]
Sagittarius stopped the hologram. “Look. That’s the scene from the auction house. This was when Hugo was sold. I had a very hard time getting this footage— Kuhk! Why are you suddenly being like this? Kuh-huhk!!!”
Sagittarius was stomped on by Lee Gun and Yooha.
“You want to die? If you had the time to take such a video, you had enough time to rescue him?!”
“Useless Sagittarius!!!”
“No! My subordinate took the footage!! Ahhk!” Sagittarius ignored his battered state as he pointed at someone in the footage. “Over there! Look at them! Do you see that group wearing white?”
“Who are they?”
“They are the Kunlun faction! Anyway, Hugo was originally sold to the Great Spirit of Kunlun!!”
“!”
Sagittarius’s white clothes became dyed red. He grabbed Lee Gun’s leg as he said, “That footage from the auction was taken three months ago! However, the letter Hugo’s daughter brought to us was sent to the underworld yesterday, right?”
“!”
“Hades had to change his plan when you came to the Divine world. He made it so that you can’t chase after Hugo!”
That wasn’t all.
“You asked earlier as to who had a bad relationship with Hades, right? They are the ones. In the past, Hades razed Duat to the ground.”
The exact reason was unknown, but the Great Spirit of the Ennead faction hated Hades to death.
“You saw what was written in the letter. The 600%-faith Construct will be used to bury the hatchet. Moreover, Hades is asking them to imprison and torture you in Duat.”
It was unclear why, but Hades was showing zero intention of losing Hugo to Lee Gun.
Lee Gun snorted. “I don’t care. Just tell me how I can go to the underworld.”
Sagittarius started to sweat. As expected, Lee Gun wasn’t going to stay still. “Nephew. Even if you have the Divine status of Death, you need work experience to acquire a license to get there. It also takes a lot of money. Entering the underworld is too difficult.”
Lee Gun’s eyebrows rose. Was this bastard trying to help or not?
For some reason, Sagittarius avoided Lee Gun’s gaze. “Since he’s being sold to the Great Spirit of Ennead, he’ll be transported to the Ennead’s main palace within the underworld. There is no way we can snatch him away from Ennead
”
At that moment

“Oh my, Master of the sun. There is a much easier way to accomplish that goal!”
“!!?”
A familiar face appeared from the mouth of the summoned Pixiu.
“P-Persephone!”
Lee Gun
. No, she was the Zodiac kidnapped by Yooha.
When Persephone pushed her face out of Pixiu’s mouth, Pixiu whined and gagged as it kept its mouth open.
Lee Gun furrowed his brows as he looked at her. “There is a simple way?”
When she met Lee Gun’s eyes, Persephone squealed. She became shy. Entering Pixiu once again, she answered, “Yes! Herm—”
“Ahhhk!!!!”
Sagittarius quickly placed a hand over Persephone’s mouth. He started to let out a cold sweat, as if the answer would put him in an awkward situation.
‘No way! The messenger god is off-limits. That'll get Olympus involved.’
Hermes was very close to the Great Spirit. If they got involved any further with the Olympus faction, the Great Spirit and the Zodiacs would find out that Sagittarius had hidden Lee Gun.
Hiding someone who had illegally entered the Divine world was a sin. Sagittarius would be labeled an accomplice of Lee Gun, who had to be killed!
“Nephew? It is nothing—”
“It’s Hermes!”
“Ahhhk!!!!”
Sagittarius screamed as he looked at Lee Gun’s face. “Nephew. If you get Olympus involved, they’ll kill—”
“I’ll take you out with my hands before that happens.”
“Ahhhk!!”
The power of Death struck Sagittarius.
* * *
“Damn it!” Hades cussed after opening his eyes.
The Olympus Zodiacs and the forces present on the party cruise were in front of his eyes. They had bound Hades, and their divine energy was raging as if they wanted to kill him. Hades bit his lips.
‘Shit! This is all the fault of that strange woman!’
In truth, Hades had planned on catching Lee Gun before the Great Spirit found out about what was going on. However, an unknown woman had appeared from Lee Gun’s item and knocked Hades unconscious
!
However, Hades was sweating for an entirely different reason. He had felt the energy of the unknown civilization from that woman. Moreover, it was the energy of a monarch.
‘It can’t be, right
?’
There was no way it could be true. Lee Gun had already turned the Divine world on its head. It would be apocalyptic if a monarch had entered the Divine world.
‘Just a piece of a monarch’s corpse entering this place would cause a state of emergency.’
However, that wasn’t important right now. That woman had disappeared somewhere.
“Do you really think the Great Spirit will forgive you after it sees what you’ve done?”
“Wait! I didn’t do this. The snake god—”
“You’re the one who dragged him in! You got played by a low-rank Zodiac!”
Hades ground his teeth when several thousand gods moved toward him. “I’ll do my best to repay any damages suffered.”
The next second, Hades screamed.
As if they had been waiting for that moment, the gathered gods took all of Hades’s wealth. They took Talents, the star palace, and all the wealth within it!
Hades was considered a wealthy god, and the amount he had lost just now was almost a fatal blow.
[The Divine world is giving a warning to the owner of the land of the dead. Your debt is too high. You do not have enough funds to pay the taxes.]
[Next week is income tax day. If you cannot pay your taxes, you will fall into the world of torture. Please be warned.]
All the gods had to pay taxes to the Divine world.
If Hades couldn’t pay it, he would become a slave of the Divine world. However, he had lost the money to pay the taxes because of Lee Gun. This was why his face turned pale.
The gods weren’t satisfied with what they took.
“Hey! There isn’t enough money! Give us more!”
“I’ll pay the rest of the balance soon. Just wait!” In the end, Hades had to write a note that put up his body as collateral.
Then, Hades quickly tried to go to the underworld. He had to quickly finalize the transaction of Hugo. He had to receive the rest of the balance for the sale.
“Hey! Where the hell are you going? The Great Spirit is looking for you!”
“Our master is looking for you!”
Hades’s face turned pale from fright at the mention of the Great Spirit. He wasn’t mad enough to go to the Great Spirit! He knew very well what would happen if he let himself get dragged along by them.
“Ah! Over there!! Money!”
“What? Money?”
“Ah! That bastard is running away!!!”
Hades quickly disappeared to the underworld. Because of that damned Lee Gun, he had become penniless, yet it didn’t matter.
‘If I hand over Pushover and receive the remaining balance, this loss will be nothing.’
This all hinged on the premise that the deal and transfer went on without a hitch. The problem was Lee Gun, who unnecessarily kept looking for his Construct. However, the place where the trade would happen was special.
‘There is no way he'll be able to enter that region.’
The gods of Duat had ordered a ban of all gods from entering the underworld.
‘One cannot illegally enter that place.’
Hades smirked as he quickly headed toward the underworld of Duat.
* * *
Around that time

“Where the hell did Hades run away to?”
“Hey! Spread the wanted posters!”
At the center of Olympus’s third floor, Lee Gun’s eyebrows rose when his surroundings turned raucous. It was because Hades’ name was mentioned.
‘I wonder why they are looking for him.’
Hades had probably done something wrong.
‘Should I tell them where he went?’
It didn’t matter in the end.
“Uh
 You want me to send you to the underworld? You want to go there despite Olympus being in this state?”
“Uh
 Yeah. I have business there that I must attend.”
They had come to a passenger transportation company owned by Hermes. Hermes was the messenger god and the only god who could travel to all the worlds.
“If it’s Hermes, he’ll be able to move all of us, right? He transports passengers.”
“He does
 However, Hermes-nim isn’t here right now. Also
”
“Also?”
“Currently, all entry into the underworld is forbidden.”
“Let’s put that aside for now. Did you hear about the terrorist? It’s under the jurisdiction of Olympus’s Great Spirit. That’s why those on the top are making a big fuss. They are mobilizing everyone to catch him.”
“Do you know who the culprit is?”
“Not really. He can’t be tracked, and someone is hiding him.”
Sagittarius turned pale as he looked at Lee Gun. “N-Nephew. Since things turned out like this, let’s just give up. Let’s wait this out at a different location
”
On the other hand, Lee Gun smirked as he stared at the poster on the wall. Then he approached the counter. “Do you guys do courier service too?”
“What? Ah!. Yes
! That is correct. We are the largest courier service company in the Divine world!”
“Is the promotion on the poster true? I can send an item to anyone?”
“Of course! Please do not look down on the power of the messenger god!”
“Is it possible to deliver a person through the courier service?”
“What?”
“The recipient is Pushover.” Lee Gun smirked as he pointed at himself.
