Chapter 442 - Destroyer of Gods (1)

Accompanying a powerful light, the Rule Book appeared in his hand.

This item surprised Ennead’s Great Spirit. It looked different from the Rule Book that they had possessed.

‘He made a new one.’

Lee Gun was part of the Creator tribe, who could create any item.

That was why Ennead’s Great Spirit became vigilant at first, but he soon started laughing.

[What use is there to creating that item anew right now?]

Ennead’s Great Spirit already knew what was going on. Lee Gun’s plan was obvious. He had made a new Rule Book probably to make some crappy rules that’d allow him to suppress the gods!

The Great Spirit assumed Lee Gun would take the same actions as the other gods! However, everyone who had done this had failed, including the previous Great spirits, rebellious factions, Creators, Aslan, and even the Primordial god. So his eyes flashed.

[It doesn’t matter what kind of law you created. There will always be a loophole that’ll allow me to escape. Do not forget this. Rules are meant to be circumvented.]

“No. You will never be able to escape it.”

[Are you going to add such a rule?]

“What?”

[Are you going to add a rule that says all gods must submit to the Serpent Bearer temple? Or are you going to permanently imprison those who do not have 100% Faith toward you?!]

Ennead’s Great Spirit laughed as if Lee Gun shouldn’t do something so arrogant.

[Listen to me. If you kill all the gods that don’t submit to you, they’ll merely be born again! If they are suppressed and imprisoned through the law, their power won't be able to circulate. As a result, the order of the universe will stagnate! This will be the worst outcome!]

It didn’t matter what Lee Gun planned on doing. The gods were in an advantageous position. Whether or not Lee Gun used exoneration on himself and suppressed the gods, it wouldn’t matter. The gods would just be born again and again. And eventually, gods capable of dodging the rules would be born.

How did the Great Spirit know this? It was because he was the prime example!

[Aren’t you curious about why I kept my memories despite going through the process of inheritance?]

“!”

[That’s right. It’s rare, but mutants are sometimes born among the gods. You cannot predict such a thing. Do you think you’ll be able to keep writing rules for each of these instances? You won’t have enough exoneration tickets!]

The gods were exalted beings.

[As long as the existence called gods continues to exist, the fight won’t end. Do you not realize this?]

He had said this to break Lee Gun’s morale a bit, but Lee Gun unexpectedly laughed. “Yes. The problem is that gods exist.”

[What?]

Lee Gun let out a sharp laugh. “Do you get it now? This new Rule Book isn’t the Rule Book that was restricted to the Divine world. You’d be making a big mistake by thinking that.”

[What??]

The Rule Book existed to punish the gods. It provided codified rules that kept the gods in order. If the Rule Book wasn’t limited to the Divine world, what else could it be…

“Universe.”

[!]

“I changed the Rule Book into the Rule Book of the Universe.”

[Wait a… What??]

“And it will turn all you bastards into tools.”

The face of Ennead’s Great Spirit stiffened. Of course, he knew what Lee Gun was referring to.

[Tool…]

He unconsciously glanced at the Primordial god, who was next to Lee Gun. In other words, this rule book would turn all the gods into weapons or other items.

Is that how Lee Gun planned on becoming the master of all the gods? It wasn’t just one or two. He wanted to change all the gods?

Ennead’s Great Spirit scoffed.

[It doesn't matter if you carry a petty trick like that. We’ll just discard the body that was changed into a tool. We just have to be born again—]

Lee Gun cut him off. “I already said it. I’ll change the rules of the universe.”

[…??]

“I had this thought. Does this world really need gods?”

[…!!]

Lee Gun had ruminated on this for a long time. He had started thinking about this when the monsters had invaded the earth.

Of course, humans could get rid of the monsters because they received power from the gods. However, it turned out that the Zodiacs and the monsters had been on the same side.

The monsters evoked fear in humans, and the gods used this fear to increase humans’ Faith toward them.

The other gods considered that their given right. This was why the Zodiacs’ actions were overlooked.

No, they were all doing something similar in their own colonies. They did it all for Faith.

‘In the end, gods only thought of humans as tools.’

Lee Gun’s opinion had become crystallized after he had visited the Divine world. If he let them be, this endless cycle would just repeat.

In fact, the gods had admitted themselves. Their lifespan was too long, so they could invade and torment humans whenever they wanted. Of course, they stated that humans couldn’t exist without the gods, but Lee Gun wasn’t sure about that.

‘Humans aren’t beings that merely want help from the gods.’

Humans were willing to mobilize and fight when it came to protecting their fellow humans and their families.

In other words, humans just needed power that would allow them to protect themselves.

‘Gods aren’t needed.’

This was why Lee Gun had come to a solution. “I’ll make a world where gods do not exist.”

[Are you kidding me!!!]

Ennead’s Great Spirit became angry. He had wondered what nonsense Lee Gun would talk about.

[You plan on bringing the downfall of the gods! You are too young and inexperienced! That is why you can say such a thing! The existence of the gods is the source of power that allows movement within a universe! Yet you want to do what!]

“It isn’t as if your powers will disappear even if gods disappear.”

[!]

“We’ll use your powers as tools, so you don’t have to worry about what happens afterward.”

Lee Gun immediately activated his power of Creation

[The ability of the Beginning and End Serpent has been activated.]

[The ability of the Designer has been activated.]

[The Divine status of a Creator has been activated.]

A powerful light surged into the sky. It was the activation of Lee Gun’s true Divine status, which had been masked by Life and Death: the power of a Creator, which had created the Divine world in the past.

Boom!!

At that moment, the land— No, the universe violently shook. Then, powerful light surged up from the ground.

[Ahhhk!!!]

The light swept up hundreds of millions of gods.

In the past, Lee Gun had made bizarre items from Hermes and Kunlun’s Great Spirit, who had kidnapped Sagittarius as a bride. It was as if those instances had been practice runs for what he was about to do.

[All gods will be recreated as items.]

[Their cores will be used to recreate them into items.]

All the gods started to turn into items. They took on forms that went with their powers. It was like what had happened to the Primordial god.

Ennead’s Great Spirit was swept up in the power as well.

Lee Gun let out a cold smile toward the flustered Great Spirit. “Humans exist for the gods. I’m pretty sure you guys said this to me.”

[!]

“I’ll make sure the opposite is true.” Lee Gun waved his hand. Gods exist for humans.

[You bastard…!!!]

Ennead’s Great Spirit glared at Lee Gun and tried to use Eliminate to get rid of him. However, Lee Gun planned on showing no mercy; he quickly took out the Fetters of the Underworld.

Hwa-roo-roohk!

The red flames clashed against the black flames. The incredibly strong power of Eliminate tried to swallow Lee Gun, but the power of Death offset it and sent Ennead’s Great Spirit flying.

Poo-hahk!!!

The sword of Death flew toward Ennead’s Great Spirit.

The Great Spirit’s eyes flashed as if he found Lee Gun’s actions impertinent.

Bbah-gahk!!!

His power ruthlessly destroyed the Fetters of the Underworld.

[How dare a novice—]

At that moment, Ennead’s Great Spirit vomited blood; a sword had pierced through his body. It wasn’t Death’s Fetters of the Underworld, and neither was it Life’s Heaven’s Punishment. It was Cycle.

[…!!]

The Primordial god’s weapon form had transformed into a sword, and Lee Gun had stabbed the Great Spirit with it. The Great Spirit glared at the item since he had been stabbed by the power of the Primordial god, whom he had killed.

[Bastard!]

He gritted his teeth. Then, with a smirk, he grabbed the sword in his stomach.

[Even if you turn all the gods here into tools, do you really think it’ll end there? Gods are born endlessly if they have the hopes and hearts of their worshippers. Their worshippers merely have to remember them.]

Gods were beings that were continuously reborn through the process of inheritance! It meant they would come back endlessly no matter how many times they were destroyed.

However, Lee Gun merely smirked. “Didn't you hear me right now? I said I’m going to change the order of the universe, idiot.”

Lee Gun would basically make a new system.

“It doesn’t matter if I disappear from this world. It doesn’t matter if you guys are reborn afterward. I’ll make sure you guys will never be able to mess with us.”

[What?]

“Did you think you guys are the only ones I’ll turn into tools?”

[…!!!]

Lee Gun immediately called forth Life and Death. Life took on the form of a female child, and the Divine status of Death turned into a male child.

When Lee Gun used the power of Creation, a light headed toward the two. Then something surprising happened.

[Life and Death will be turned into Divine weapons.]

[Would you like to name them?]

“Cradle.”

[…!!]

Lee Gun let out a menacing smile. “From this moment on, all gods trying to kill me will be sent to Death to be dismantled. They will die.”

Death’s appearance changed. A large black hole appeared there as if Death was pure chaos and distorted the surrounding space.

Koo-goo-goong!!

The gods that were hostile toward Lee Gun screamed as they were dragged away.

[No! Wait!!!]

When Lee Gun had reached Great Spirit rank, his Divine statuses had reached that rank too. They had turned into Divine weapons, like the Primordial god, and under the order of their parent, Death dragged the gods toward it.

Kwahng!!

Lee Gun spoke as he looked at the flustered Great Spirit of Ennead. “As their parent, who created them, I can add rules to those items.”

[!]

The Rule Book of the Universe flashed in his hand. A rule that would change the order of the universe had been added to it.

“First, Cradle is in charge of the beginning and end of all the gods. Death will destroy the Divine statuses that aren’t needed, and Life will create them into tools.”

[…!]

In other words, all Divine statuses would go through Life and Death. They would be reborn as tools.

It didn’t matter if the being in question was a nameless low-rank god or a famed high-rank Divine status. There was no discrimination in rank. Lee Gun had designed the system of the universe that way.

It might have been impossible to pull off, but except for “Eliminate,” Lee Gun possessed all the powers of the Primordial god.

Moreover, Life and Death had to be combined to make Cycle. Now that they were combined in Cradle, they could maintain the system even if Lee Gun died.

Cycle would move endlessly even without anyone controlling it.

Currently, the gods were being ripped apart by Death and being reborn as tools. It was similar to the process of inheritance.

Lee Gun said, “I’ll mention this. When you guys turn into tools, you will have power, but it doesn’t mean you guys will be gods.”

[…!]

“Since you will be tools, you will all act as powers of humans.”

The existence of the gods would cease to exist.

“The tools will all exist for humans and life.”

[You bastard!!!]

The eyes of Ennead’s Great Spirit turned bloodshot. He suddenly remembered a conversation he had with the Primordial god.

- What? You want us to treasure the humans?

- Yes. It might be unbelievable, but we are beings made by humans. We cannot exist without them.

- I will hear this no longer. You should stop speaking such nonsense. Do you understand me?

Humans exist because gods exist!

The Primordial god was the first who had appeared in the universe. A rumor said that this god was born through a child’s wish and faith.

However, the truth didn’t matter to Ennead’s Great Spirit. He thought the exalted gods had fallen for his ruse…!

Ennead’s Great Spirit angrily extended his hand, but Lee Gun was also a Great Spirit with formidable power.

“This will be the first and last thing I will make as Lee Gun and a Creator.”

[Do you think you will be able to handle the Karmic debt for bringing down the gods?! An SSS-rank exoneration ticket might not be enough!!]

“If we are being strict about the definition, I won’t be killing you guys. SSS-rank will be enough.”

The next moment, Death violently roared in its black hole form. Its enormous powers sucked Ennead’s Great Spirit, who had turned into a tool, into the Cradle.

Because of the change in the rule, Ennead’s Great Spirit had been in the form of a human, so he had been a bit lacking in power.

All the Constructs who had followed him screamed as the chaos of Death sucked them in.

[Ahhhhk!!!]

It was a terrifying amount of power: an endless power that no one could escape from.

As he was being sucked in, in his last moment, Ennead’s Great Spirit glared at Lee Gun.

‘Yes. The problem was letting him into the Divine world in the first place.’

There had been a prophecy in the Divine world. Sagittarius, one of the prophetic gods, had spoken it in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

- The goddesses are having a hard time seeing the future of the Divine world. They said something about a calamity that could wipe out the gods. It must be nonsense since we have the amazing Great Spirit of Ennead.

It seemed the prophecy had mostly been correct. A god of calamity had indeed brought disaster to the Divine world. He was a calamity who had wiped out all the gods.

‘Damn it!’

They had been referring to Lee Gun.
