Chapter 381
“Nephew!! Let’s cut a deal!!”
In the Peach Blossom Spring, Sagittarius was sending an SOS signal to Lee Gun. “Nephew! I'm really in danger! My chastity is about to be taken away!!”
Yes, he had been dragged back to Kunlun. Originally, Abyss had eaten him. However, Kulun had chased after both of them, saying that they had to save their madam(?).
A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.
Of course, nothing good could come from facing off against one’s natural enemy, but gods were also formidable foes.
In the end, Abyss felt annoyed because it had to fight hard. However, it refused to let go of Sagittarius no matter what.
[How dare the petty gods try to take my precious food?]
Abyss tried to rip apart all the gods in contempt.
Sagittarius had no choice but to yell since he felt like a shrimp that was going to have its back blown out. He thought he was going to die. “You whale bastard! I’m not the snake god! You’re mistaken!”
Abyss had heard the sound coming from its mouth and laughed in derision.
[Stop speaking nonsense. You smell like the snake god. There is no way…]
It rolled Sagittarius in its mouth, trying to taste and savor its food. But the monarch soon furrowed its brow.
It seemed to have realized something and chewed Sagittarius before spitting him out.
“Kuhk!”
“Madam!”
Sagittarius fell to the ground. Grinding his teeth, he glared at the monarch.
‘When it thought I was Lee Gun, it ate me like candy! It tried to make me last!’
The gods of Kunlun were mystified by this sight. They glared at Sagittarius and Abyss.
“Thankfully, we were able to rescue the snake god, but what the hell happened? Why would that tenacious bastard just give up on Madam?”
“Maybe, this isn’t the snake god?”
“…!”
Sagittarius was still in his human state. So when the gods became suspicious of him, he flinched as he shook.
‘If I’m found out, I’ll be killed instantly.’
When Kunlun tried to investigate him, he quickly yelled, “I stabbed him!”
“What?”
“I possess the Achievement of bringing down Olympus! That whale has got nothing on me!”
Abyss looked at Sagittarius as if the latter was way off base, but it soon turned around. It hid its presence so that others couldn’t sense it.
Sagittarius yelled at this sight, “Look! It lost to me on the earth. That’s why it’s running away with its tail between its legs!”
“Oh. As expected of the bride chosen by the Great Spirit…!”
The dumbfounded Abyss disappeared into the shadow, but it didn’t seem to care what was said.
[At least, Kunlun was unable to drag away your old Zodiac Saint. That’s enough.]
“…!”
It was a voice that could be heard by only Sagittarius. Abyss seemed to have been referring to Hugo.
An odd expression appeared on Sagittarius’s face.
‘Why would it care if my Zodiac Saint got dragged away by Kunlun?’
Why was the monarch suddenly talking about Hugo instead of Lee Gun?
‘Does it think of Hugo as a food item?’
Hugo was always with Lee Gun, and he was Lee Gun’s Construct. So this development was understandable, but Abyss merely laughed as it disappeared.
[At the very least, I should show some respect to someone from the same race.]
“…?”
Sagittarius furrowed his brows further.
‘Same race?’
He had no idea what nonsense the monarch was spouting, but that wasn’t important right now.
“Ahhk! Why is the Great Spirit here? I was told he was away!”
In the end, Sagittarius was taken to the Great Spirit’s palace, and he was currently being chased by the Great Spirit.
‘I was barely able to acquire the peach. I even emptied Kunlun’s storage house and sent it all to Lee Gun!’
His work here was done, and he just had to run away!
‘Why the hell is my nephew not answering me?’
Sagittarius really felt like his chastity was about to be stolen, so he desperately sent out an SOS message.
“Ines! Save me!”
He used his telepathy skill toward Virgo.
- I’m sorry, but the Serpent Bearer said to leave you be. The Serpent Bearer chose not to revert you to your original state. He must have a reason for selling you to Kunlun.
“What? Really?? He sold me on purpose?”
- He said you have a Divine status that you’re hiding. He says you should release it and become a slave to the Serpent Bearer temple.
“…?!”
Was that his goal?
- Anyway, I wish you luck. If he means to refer to the Divine status of a Creator, all kinds of beings might crawl out for you.
Sagittarius flinched. Aside from Lee Gun, few knew about his past. Of course, the relationship would inevitably be revealed since he started referring to Lee Gun as his nephew.
‘Ines. Is he looking for those aiming for the Creators?’
He thought about the recent meeting with Aslan.
- I want Hyung-nim to stay near Gun and look out after him. Someone out there is aiming for the power of the Creators. This bastard might have goaded you to kill your parents.]
As if to make matters worse, this unknown being might have killed Lee Gun’s mother. It was a dark secret.
‘Some want the Creators dead.’
If Lee Gun was revealed as a surviving Creator, they would aim for him. This was why Sagittarius could become bait if he was able to drag out the power of a Creator for himself…
- Isn’t this great? You’re a bachelor. You shouldn’t feel aggrieved since your partner will be a Great Spirit.
“Hey! Why are you acting as if this has nothing to do with you? How can you act this way toward your sibling?”
At that moment…
[You are here.]
In the end, the Great Spirit of Kunlun found Sagittarius. The Great Spirit approached him as he shed his clothes.
Sagittarius desperately yelled, “Hey, you crazy bastard! I’m not the snake god! The real snake god ran away already!”
[I know.]
“What?”
In a flash, the Great Spirit pierced the body of Sagittarius.
Poo-hahk!
“Kuh-huhk…!”
Blood flew into the air. Sagittarius was in pain as he glared at the Great Spirit.
The Great Spirit laughed in an airy manner.
[I took off my clothes because I didn’t want your lowly blood on my robes.]
“…!”
Sagittarius returned to his original appearance when his chest was pierced.
[I planned on killing you with one blow. You have quite the defensive gear. Was it made by the snake god?]
The Great Spirit looked very interested, but Sagittarius couldn’t speak. He just vomited blood.
Thanks to the cloth of Life made by Lee Gun, he had avoided immediate death, but it was a critical wound.
[I never expected you to steal my precious peach from my garden in such a short period. I’ll forgive you since you sent it to the snake god.]
“Bastard….”
[You’re a famous thief in the Divine world, and you have caused a great deal of headaches to the Great Spirits. Moreover, I’ll be able to acquire at the very least a rare 5-star rank Achievement (Divine Achievement) if I kill someone with your Divine status.]
The Great Spirit looked at Sagittarius as if a treasure had fallen into his lap. He was about to slaughter Sagittarius when…
Flash!
“!”
As if they had been waiting for this moment, Sagittarius’s clothes emitted a light.
‘!’
That wasn’t all. The clothes expanded in all directions and roughly encircled the arm piercing Sagittarius’s chest.
Kwah-jeek!!
Sagittarius looked at it in surprise. The Great Spirit raised his eyebrows in contempt.
[Impertinent bastard.]
The gods of Kunlun were shocked by this sight.
“Master!”
Sagittarius heard something unbelievable.
[Serpent Bearer has activated the Creation Workshop skill.]
[Your opponent is being turned into equipment for the Serpent Bearer temple.]
* * *
Around that time…
Flash!
Lee Gun had used the permission ticket, and he was dropped inside an unfamiliar town. Hugo fell along with him, and he looked at his surroundings.
“This place is… Is it a place similar to the earth?”
It wasn’t the Divine world. This place was like the earth. Gods used this dimension as a colony. Like the humans, the residents here sent tributes to the gods. In other words, this was another world.
The difference was that they were inside a machine city.
[You have arrived at Eden Colony 1.]
[You sense a population of one hundred million.]
[They aren’t humans.]
Lee Gun immediately furrowed his brows. “I don’t know what they are, but be on your guard.”
Pah-ba-bahk!
Suddenly, a suspicious object ran toward Lee Gun and Hugo. Hugo immediately drew his bow when he felt the murderous intent.
“Gun!”
Finally, the object revealed itself. It turned out to be a monstrous beast folk.
This being boasted insane speed and savagery. It tried to bite Lee Gun.
Lee Gun summoned Heaven’s Punishment, and Hugo got ready to shoot his arrow!
Bbah-gahk!!!
“!!”
At that moment, figures fell from the sky, instantly killing the monster. The eyes of Hugo and Lee Gun turned round when they saw the familiar figures landing before them.
“Hailey!”
“Yeonwoo??”
They had no idea why these women were here.
On the other hand, Hailey and Yeonwoo finally noticed each other’s presence after killing the monster. Both women became guarded.
However, the most shocked person was Lee Gun. He had no idea why these two were here.
“Hailey was with us in the Divine world. However, she went to Scorpio, because it was calling for her. So why is she here…”
“Ah! I was chasing after the bastards from Eden when I was dropped here…”
Yeonwoo’s head turned. “Y-You were with him in the Divine world?” Her expression was asking what was going on between the two.
Oblivious to this, Lee Gun looked at Yeonwoo. “Yeonwoo, I thought you were in our house when you decided to go to Eden’s main base. So why are you here…”
“Ah! I planned on doing that, but I felt the energy of the Serpent Bearer disciples here…”
This time, Hailey’s head turned. “Our house?”
She was shocked, since it sounded like they were living together.
It was unclear as to whether Lee Gun noticed the two women’s expressions, but he spoke as if he was ready to move on. “I’m glad you guys were here before me. Did you see Sungjae and Jaewon?”
Odd expressions appeared on their faces as they looked in the same direction.
“Yes. I found the den of the enemies, but the inside was a bit weird…”
“Weird?”
They had come here thinking there would be a fight, but had found something odd.
“It must be a colony of Eden, yet I couldn’t even find a single flag of Eden…”
“The civilians who should be transporting the offerings are nowhere to be seen.”
“The only activity that I saw was cattle ruthlessly being dragged toward a strange tower at the heart of the city.”
Lee Gun furrowed his brows as he headed toward the town. He thought Sungjae or Lee Jaewon was in trouble.
The party ran toward the building in question, and enemies instantly appeared before them. The newcomers showed strong hostility toward Lee Gun, who had broken through the barrier.
“Intruders! Where did you come from?”
The beast folk looked to be a resident of this Eden colony. It approached Lee Gun, wanting to savagely rip him apart.
“Hey! You guys want to die? How dare you attack him! How dare you not listen to the orders of the sect leader!”
“!”
Another person appeared and violently kicked the beast folk.
Everyone flinched at the unfamiliar voice. However, something surprised Lee Gun even more at the next moment.
“Uncllllllllle!”
“!!”
Someone ran up to him and jumped at him. He clung to Lee Gun like a koala.
“Uncle!!!”
There was no mistaking it. His speech pattern and energy made it clear that he was Chun Sungjae.
However, the crying Chun Sungjae looked entirely different from the Chun Sungjae that they knew.
“Wait a moment. Are you really Sungjae? Why are you so big?”
The short kid was gone, and a grown-up Zodiac Saint of the Serpent Bearer temple stood in front of them. No, he was the religious sect leader of the Eden colony.
