CH 418

Chapter 418

The eight Great Spirits were beings none of the gods could beat.

Among them were the Wheel of Fire, or the Sun Wheel; the Lord of the Sky, who could see through everything; the Lord of Light, whom evil could never approach; the Lord of Heaven, who delivered the punishment of the heavens; and so forth.

They were the ones propping up the Divine world and the leaders responsible for maintaining order in the Divine world.

They were the nobles among the nobles, who had once served the Primordial god. Moreover, their factions were called the eight great forces. They were considered the immutable powers that led the Divine world.

However, there had once been a time when there were nine great forces. It was a time when everyone had been surprised by their emergence, but they had disappeared in short order. And the ninth force wasn’t expected to appear again.

Hwa-roo-roohk!!

“…!”

Yet, the gods watched the revival of the ninth great force. Moreover, it appeared alongside a Great Spirit that looked completely different from the one before!

Koo-goo-goong!

The gods couldn’t believe their eyes. A violent and ominous black flame was burning up in front of them. The flame possessed a chaotic energy that seemed to destroy anything it touched.

The Zodiacs who had made their names as rulers looked puny before it. The energy was that overpowering.

Lee Gun’s appearance had shocked everyone.

“N…No way…!!”

“That appearance…!”

They couldn’t deny it since it had happened right before their eyes.

“That appearance… Only the gods with the great light can achieve…!”

[Great Spirit]

It was a suffocating feeling. They breathlessly looked at Lee Gun.

“Why the hell would the ninth great force show up now…!”

At this point, the bound thirteen Zodiacs started to tremble. They knew Lee Gun better than anyone and had watched Lee Gun since he was a human. The realization struck them all.

Lee Gun, who was one of the thirteen Zodiacs, had become the true master of the thirteen Zodiacs. His current appearance proved his qualifications and showed them the truth.

‘I never expected he would be capable of doing such a thing.’

The human Zodiac Saints, who were dragged here, also shook.

“T-Those on the earth would have fainted if they saw this.”

“Ha ha ha. They would have already fainted right now.”

When the angels of Eden appeared on the earth, they had set up transmission portals connected to the Divine world all over the earth.

The humans who were watching the transmission had probably fainted as they foamed from their mouths.

Lee Gun looked terrifying, yet he also inspired a sense of awe.

‘That’s the appearance of a stage-six Divine status.’

Lee Jaewon was so thrilled that he couldn’t speak. It really felt as if humanity was nothing before Lee Gun. He wondered if he could even step into Lee Gun’s shadows.

It felt as if Lee Gun would ascend far into the heavens and that no one could chase after him.

However, the gods didn’t seem to like what they were seeing.

“The ninth great force is obsolete in this day and age…!”

“What if you do look like a Great Spirit? It’s irrelevant!”

“Do you think just copying the outer appearance is enough?”

“You kept Eternal Change by your side and learned something useless!”

The high-rank gods glared at Lee Gun as they took out their Divine items. All these Divine items possessed powerful abilities.

Lee Gun merely smirked.

[Outer appearance?]

He lifted his hand high, making the billowing black flames erupt violently. They extended outward as he used his Divine power.

The Divine power, which had extended out in all directions, soon transformed into black lightning, which encircled Lee Gun’s arms.

Then, the Divine item of Death, the Fetters of the Underworld, reappeared.

Since he had become bigger, the Divine item had followed suit. Its appearance and texture turned huge and more brutal.

Finally, Lee Gun held his Divine item in his sixth-stage Divine status form and infused it with his power.

Koo-oohng!

‘!’

The gods immediately felt as if someone were squeezing their hearts. They couldn’t pinpoint what this sensation was, so they stood still. However, Valhalla’s Great Spirit glared at Lee Gun.

[Bastard.]

He seemed to have sensed something. The Great Spirit quickly brought his cane down on the ground, trying to use his ability. However, this gesture was something he didn’t normally do.

[Valhalla’s Great Spirit has used his Divine Achievement (Achievement).]

He had released an Achievement that he had amassed to block Lee Gun’s attack.

[ (5 star)]

[ (5 star)]

- Neutralizes all attacks

Lee Gun’s attack reached him as soon as he used his Achievement.

‘!’

It was a terrifying black light, which scared the gods. They felt the fear of Death, which they had never experienced before.

Since the Great Spirit of Valhalla was using his Achievement, the power let out a powerful light.

Flash!

The gods possessed a special ability called Divine Achievements (Achievements). They could be used to strengthen a god’s body or wielded like an ability.

The enormous power generated by the Achievement tried to swallow Lee Gun’s power.

Koo-goong!!!

The black light collided with the bright light.

When they saw the clash, the gods felt like they had forgotten how to breathe.

It was unclear as to how long had passed.

Koo-goo-goo-goo!

“…!”

The power of Death sent by Lee Gun disappeared. However, forcefully neutralizing that power seemed to have given the Great Spirit of Valhalla a backlash.

“…huhk!”

Valhalla’s Great Spirit had assumed the Achievement would completely neutralize Lee Gun’s power, but…

“The central area….!”

The power had not been completely swallowed up. Various locations in the central area were destroyed.

The gods were unable to shut their mouths. However, that wasn’t the sole reason the gods of Valhalla were frozen.

‘The Lord of the Sky had to use his Achievement.’

The gods immediately realized what it had been.

‘It was the highest rank Achievement.’

Divine Achievements (Achievement) normally went up to five stars, and the four-star rank was a unique rank. The five-star rank was the legendary rank.

The highest-rank Achievement could turn any attack into null. It was a special power. This was why all gods were obsessed with gathering high-rank Achievements.

‘That was one of the Achievements he rarely uses unless it’s a fight against another Great Spirit…!’

‘The snake god is that powerful?!’

The gods froze in shock. It all pointed toward one thing.

‘He really is a Great Spirit.’

‘He’s a Great Spirit.’

Of course, Lee Gun had met the requirement to become a Great Spirit. He had evolved his Divine status to stage 6. Moreover, he was a fighting-type god and occupied the highest position among the war gods.

‘We have no choice but to accept it…!’

On the other hand, Valhalla’s Great Spirit was trying not to groan for an entirely different reason.

‘My Achievement is gone.’

Yes, Achievements weren’t single use. However, the Achievement he had used ceased to exist when it blocked Lee Gun’s attack!

Valhalla’s Great Spirit glared at Lee Gun.

‘That bastard…!’

The power of Death could get rid of anything. It had gotten rid of the Achievement used by Valhalla’s Great Spirit.

Lee Gun contemptuously laughed.

[You blocked my power?]

This left Valhalla’s Great Spirit dumbfounded. He looked at Lee Gun.

The Lord of the Sky had taken much more damage. Did the snake god not realize that?

Valhalla’s Great Spirit had lost the extremely precious Neutralization Achievement, but he realized he had made the right choice in using it when he surveyed his surroundings.

If he hadn’t used it, the central region and at least half of the gods present here would have disappeared. The attack was that powerful and surprising.

On the other hand, it was unclear whether Lee Gun knew this or not. Lee Gun merely laughed.

[If I destroy all of you here, will I get sovereignty of Valhalla??]

When Lee Gun moved, the gods of Valhalla felt an unbearable amount of humiliation.

“He awakened not too long ago. How dare he speak such a ludicrous statement to the Great Spirit!”

Valhalla’s Great Spirit was one of the Great Spirits who had never gone through the process of inheritance.

Gods grew stronger in ability and internal force when they maintained their authority for a very long time. That was why…!

“That impudent bastard…”

Valhalla’s Great Spirit also started to raise his Divine power. He had no choice but to use his Achievement early because it had been a surprise attack. However, now that he had experienced it once, he had a grasp of Lee Gun’s power.

Of course, Lee Gun had used the overwhelming power of Death capable of getting rid of an Achievement. However, Valhalla’s great spirit was a resource of knowledge. He collected all knowledge and abilities.

‘I have a way to get rid of him as I keep him in check.’

However…

[Did you think you’re the only one who can use Achievements?]

“!”

Lee Gun let out a wicked laugh. That laugh gave the gods an ominous feeling.

Lee Gun immediately activated his Divine Achievement. Amongst his newly amassed Achievements, this was the highest-rank one, an Achievement that all gods coveted.

[You have used an Achievement that you amassed earlier.]

[ (6 star)]

A light erupted alongside those words. The light was on another level compared to the light of the 5-star-rank Achievement.

The gods ground their teeth when they saw the light.

‘We thought he wouldn’t be able to handle it!’

It was very difficult to handle, but the six-star-rank powers had already surpassed the legendary rank. What would happen if this power was used against a Great Spirit?

‘We have to stop him.’

The flustered gods quickly mobilized, but Lee Gun ignored them. He laughed.

[You are too late.]

As he used his Achievement, he once again sent forth the power of Death. It felt as if heaven and earth were shaking violently.

Boom!

Valhalla’s Great Spirit had predicted a backlash, so he used his ability. However, it was useless.

Kwahng!!!

A never-seen-before light appeared before them. This light instantly covered the entirety of the Divine world.

The gods couldn’t remember what happened after that.

“Ahhhk!!”

An unimaginable cataclysmic event occurred.

* * *

It was like watching creation— No, it was like watching a cataclysmic change.

The heavens surged upward, and the ground split apart. The ceiling became the floor, and the floor became the ceiling.

Everything was switched as the power swept through it.

The gods swept up in the light had no idea of what was going on. They were busy protecting themselves, barely preserving their own lives.

“Ahhhk! Help!”

“Shit!”

Screams rang out from all directions. The enormous power had hit the gods like a tsunami.

All the gods gathered in the central region, Valhalla’s Great Spirit, Lee Gun, and the thirteen Zodiacs were scattered toward different locations.

Their screams stopped only after several minutes had passed, only after the horrifying dark clouds that seemed to portent the end of the world disappeared.

“Koo-oohk…! That bastard of a snake god…!”

“Is everyone ok?”

However, the gods had a hard time speaking when they opened their eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

“That is…”

Those who had regained their senses first just sat there with their mouths open. The other gods looked in the same direction when screams mixed with despair rang all around the Divine world.

“What the hell? The sky and the ground are gone!”

“What?!”

Lee Gun had used the six-star-rank Achievement alongside his own power.

All the objects of the Divine world that had gotten swept up by his power couldn’t be seen. Moreover, it wasn’t as if a part of a region had disappeared.

“It’s all the eighth district!”

The only thing they saw was the debris of the Divine world, the debris of buildings floating through space.

Everyone screamed. They were barely clinging to the surfaces. This was true of the thirteen Zodiacs and Zodiac Saints as well.

“What… is this…!”

Sagittarius, Virgo, as well as Leo, couldn’t shut their mouths in this preposterous situation.

The Divine world itself was gone!
