The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero-Chapter 330: How much was he sold for? (1)

At this time, Lee Gun had swept through the banquet hall of the cruise ship. Various sounds mixed in with groans emanated from the ship.

“Shit! What the hell—”

“What the hell happened—”

It was pandemonium. Blood and expensive food were mixed and scattered across the floor. An unrecognizable but fancy table stuck out from the ceiling. Of course, the rosewood table wasn’t the only thing stuck on the ceiling.

“Koo-ooh…!”

Gods were slumped on the ground, the walls, and the ceiling. The gods, who had barely survived, were in a state of turmoil.

“Did that bastard from before do this?”

“Yes…!”

That god’s identity was unknown. For some strange reason, he didn’t use his Divine Status, a god’s base ability. Basically, he didn’t use his Achievement. It was as if he didn’t know how to use it. However, that wasn’t the problem.

“Elder!!”

“Are you ok, elder?”

When communication went dead, Constructs and fellow Zodiacs came looking for the gods that had suffered from the mishap inside the banquet hall. The newcomers to the scene were shocked at the sight of the bloodied gods.

Moreover, that crazy bastard had put important figures in the Divine world through the wall. These gods looked like old men.

“Ahhh— Elder of the Kunlun!”

“The Lion of Valhalla is…!!”

As if to make matters worse, these were very important figures within the eight great forces in the Divine world.

One was the headmaster of the Great Spirits, the great sifu of the Kunlun faction. The other one was an envoy of Valhalla, a faction where the most violent warriors gathered. Moreover, they were the only moderate faction! Therefore, not even the Great Spirits messed with them.

The identity of that bastard from earlier was unknown, but this wasn’t something trivial.

“There will be a big uproar from above!”

“My god! Who would do such a rude and terrible thing…!”

One of the gods with a bloody nose woke up. He had been flung to the ground.

“Who else…!”

“!”

The bloodied gods from all directions started getting up. They were helped back to their feet.

“He said it with his own mouth! He’s an entertainer called here by Hades!”

“Hades?”

A large commotion erupted among the gods. They realized the implication behind this move.

“This was done by Hades?”

“That’s correct.”

The light within the gods’ eyes instantly changed.

“That shitheel…”

Hades had a wide circle of acquaintances, and he had hosted this event. It was an event where they would hammer out a peace treaty.

As if to make matters worse, this gathering was full of gods who wanted a shot at getting an auction ticket to the rare Construct.

“Yes. This is a trick Hades played on us.”

“It makes sense. The fact that he wanted to sell that Construct made no sense in the first place.”

Hades didn’t need to say anything. His goals were obvious.

“Hades is probably trying to put us down for the Great Zodiac Battle.”

The gods let out evil murderous intents.

There was a reason why everyone was interested in the Construct called Pushover. Currently, the Divine world was on the brink of starting an enormous war called the Great Zodiac Battle.

In short, it was a succession war that would pick the king of the gods, as the throne remained empty.

“That’s why he hosted this party. What a rotten bastard!”

“He sent in an assassin because he wanted a leg up in the Great Zodiac Battle?”

“I’m sure of it. That entertainer received orders from Hades and carried out this scheme!”

In truth, Lee Gun’s actions had no thoughts behind them. However, it didn’t matter as the eyes of the gods flashed with anger.

“Hmmph. While we are in different factions, I would have gladly supported him.”

“He’s an ungrateful bastard.”

“No. Hades isn’t the only problem. The head of the faction that kept Hades in the fold bears responsibility.”

“You’re correct.”

The Zodiacs violently got to their feet. They looked like they were immediately about to go to war.

“Notify all the Zodiacs! We will immediately attack Hades and Olympus!”

* * *

“Oh! This is the star palace.”

A huge palace was in front of Lee Gun’s eyes. Unlike the 18th dimensional floor, the 10th floor had gray skies. It seemed that if one went higher, the sunlight reached the dimensional floors. And it stopped reaching the dimensional floors as one went lower. That was how this place was structured.

Of course, Lee Gun couldn’t exit the grounds of the palace.

[You have used the Temporary Pass to a Zodiac’s Territory.]

[Temporary Pass to a Zodiac’s Territory (Rank 4)]

- It is a pass issued to a Construct for a mission.

- Regardless of rank, it can’t be used. Possible to temporarily enter Master’s territory.

- The only restriction is that one cannot leave the territory in question.

[Available Sojourn Time: 28hrs 34mins 30 sec]

He couldn’t run away either, but he didn’t care about that. “Oh. He must make a lot of money. It’ll feel great shaking him down.”

Lee Gun laughed as he looked at the star palace. However, some beings reacted differently from Lee Gun. They were crying.

[Master!!!]

They were the Constructs hidden within Lee Gun’s shadow.

[Master! You really shouldn’t be doing this!!]

Lee Gun squinted when his subordinates cried out in despair. “What did you just say? Why are you guys complaining?”

Was he really asking because he had no idea? Lee Gun’s Constructs didn’t even want to think about what had happened on the ship earlier.

Of course, some gods were able to run away, but a majority of them had been beaten into a bloody mess. This was why Lee Gun’s Constructs spoke up.

[They were within the ship! I’m sure of it!]

The Divine world had hundreds of thousands of factions. However, the eight great forces stood at the top in terms of size and power.

[Aside from those of Olympus, other members of the eight great forces were there! Kunlun and Valhalla were there!]

[Valhalla is considered the most vicious group. You put their envoy through the ceiling…!]

What were they in comparison? The Serpent Bearer temple had only ten Constructs! The other forces ruled over tens of thousands to tens of millions of Constructs! They were already outclassed in terms of numbers.

Borrowing the power of allies in the twelve Zodiac temples was full of uncertainty. The absorbed temples were full of Constructs that lacked loyalty.

[Anyway, the news of what happened will be sent up the chain!]

[They’ll aim for Master!]

His Constructs despaired, but Lee Gun merely picked at his ear. “Who cares if they come for me or not?”

Those beings held no importance to him.

[Master?]

Lee Gun’s eyes flashed as he grabbed the bloodied water snakes, which he had caught on the ship. He grabbed the Hydras by their necks and threw them somewhere.

Hweek!

The twin siblings were sent flying like a bullet as they flew in a straight line!

Shweek!

They crashed through the main gate of Hades’s palace.

Kwahng!!

This shocked the security guards at the palace’s main gate.

“B-Brothers!!”

A dog-headed guard couldn’t hide its shock.

“Aren’t these your younger brothers?”

“Brothers! What happened? Don’t you dare die on me! Open your eyes! My brothers!”

The water snake desperately shook its younger siblings.

“I see. You are one of the nonuplets.”

“…?!”

The water snake’s body shook when it heard a terrifying voice behind it. A bone-chilling coldness ran up its spine. And when it tried to turn its head…

Kwahng!!!

“C—Cough…!!”

The Hydra vomited blood after Lee Gun grabbed its head.

Lee Gun narrowed his red eyes. “Whatever. Hurry up and guide me.”

The dog-headed Construct let out a violent howl when he saw this from the sides.

[Divine Name: Cerberus (Construct)]

[Affiliation: Master of the Land of the Dead (Hades)]

[Hellhound]

“Bastard! How dare you enter this place! How dare you beg us to do such a thing!”

The hellhound let out a violent aura.

[Divine Achievement Release]

Lee Gun tilted his head in puzzlement. This was a power that he had never seen before. Moreover, he had an odd feeling that he shouldn’t let the Construct use this power.

As if to prove him right, his Constructs quickly yelled.

[Master! You shouldn’t fight it head-on!!]

[You can’t let it touch your body…!]

Lee Gun didn’t pay any attention to them. “A mutt should act like a mutt! Lead the way! Bitch!”

[?!]

“Sit!!!” Lee Gun brought his foot down on the hellhound’s head.

Kwahng!!

A large explosion occurred at the gate.

* * *

Some time later, Hades reached the heart of the star palace.

“What? What did you just say?” Hades couldn't believe what he had just heard.

The steward lowered its head as it shook. “The gate was breached!”

“An unknown low-rank snake god invaded the star palace!”

Hades was dumbfounded. His guards should have been present at the gate. The vassals seemed to have sensed their owner’s discontentment. It meant this was occurring all because of their incompetence.

“Excuse me… Master—”

Slam!

When their master put down the drinking cup, the vassals flinched.

With a cold look in his eyes, Hades spoke in a low voice, “Alright. At the end of the day, that bastard has one goal.”

“!”

Hades feigned laughter as he got up. Lee Gun was aiming for him. “He’ll come my way. That’s why you guys should make preparations. We’ll give him a grand welcome..”

“!”

It didn’t matter if one was a human or a god. In front of death, everyone was equal. Moreover, this novice god couldn’t even fill his Divine status or Achievements. Hades would end that bastard’s life.

The master of the land of the dead opened his arms wide. He prepared to greet his guest.

* * *

“Hey, are you sure this is the inside of the palace?”

“Yes…! It is!”

The hellhound vomited blood as Lee Gun dragged it along with him. He had tasked it to act as a guide.

Lee Gun narrowed his eyes when he looked at his surroundings. The inside of the castle felt antique like a temple, yet it had a modern feeling to it, like something on the earth.

“Excuse me. You didn’t tell me where you want to go.” The hellhound furrowed its brows. In truth, the hellhound knew what would happen soon.

‘There is no way he can win against Master’s power.’

This was why the hellhound perspired as it asked, “I just have to lead you to Hades-nim?”

Lee Gun tilted his head in puzzlement. “No? Do you think I’m crazy? Why would I want you to guide me there?”

“What? Then where?”

“Wife!”

It took a moment for the Hellhound to buffer those words. “What?”

“Didn’t you hear me? I’m talking about Hades’s wife.”

The hellhound screamed, “What?! His wife?!”

“Yes. She’s here, right? I heard Hades was dragged here by his wife. I want you to take me to her.”

The red eyes of the snake god flashed as he let out an evil laugh.

* * *

At that moment, silence reigned within the Divine palace.

Tap! Tap!

Hades tapped his fingers against his chair as he waited. He furrowed his brows. “He’s late.”

A decent amount of time had passed since he had received news that Lee Gun had penetrated the gate. Moreover, he was with the hellhound, so there was no way he would get lost.

Hades had even sent out a reconnaissance Construct to monitor Lee Gun, yet nothing special had been reported back.

‘His target is me.’

Lee Gun had chased after him to reach this place. There was no way he would run away in fright.

‘So why isn’t he coming?’

In fact, Hades was letting out his magical energy so that Lee Gun could sense him. He was openly broadcasting his location. Since he had assumed Lee Gun would be coming here, he had covered this place with attack skills.

“Master!”

It seemed there was some news.

One of his vassals rushed toward him, pale in fright. “Something terrible happened! The god sent out on reconnaissance returned right now.! The snake god…!”

“What is it? Did he run away?”

The reconnaissance bird whom the vassal had brought screeched like there was no tomorrow. “That isn’t it. That serpent god went toward Madam!!”

What? It was rare to see Hades flustered.

Hades didn't have time to feel shocked. He quickly tried to go to his wife.

Kwahng!!!

‘!’

However, the door to the room exploded.

“!!”

It seemed one of the reconnaissance birds had been let loose on purpose when Lee Gun had gotten close to it.

The bloodied reconnaissance bird fell to the ground in the smoke.

“I went through the trouble of coming here. Why would I leave?”

A familiar face walked through the door. Hades had seen this face through transmission before.

The red-eyed young man was laughing. “Is this what you planned on looking for?”

A familiar figure was slung over the man’s shoulder!

“…!!!!”

The man was Lee Gun, and the one slung over his shoulder like a sack of rice was Hades’s companion god.

Hades ground his teeth as he glared at Lee Gun. “Bastard…!”

Lee Gun laughed as if he had caught Hades with his hand in the cookie jar. “Whatever. Just hand over my friend. Or is he already gone because you sold him?”

“What?”

“How much did you sell him for? How much should I sell your wife for? Hmm?”
