“I’m here for you.”

It was a voice he had missed. He had thought he would never hear that voice again. Hugo felt himself relax.

On the other hand, Hades looked dumbfounded.

‘Why is he here again?’

Of course, Hades planned on settling his grudge against Lee Gun. If he didn’t catch and kill Lee Gun, the Great Spirit of Olympus as well as Kunlun and Valhalla would try to kill him. However, things were different right now.

‘I planned on getting rid of him within the territory of Ennead.’

That wasn’t the only shocking part.

‘Eco!’

The problem was the male god, who Lee Gun had caught. To fool the eyes of the other gods, a minion of Hades had been transformed into Hugo. Hades glared when he saw the transformation undone.

‘What the hell? How the hell did he get caught?’

His reaction was understandable since Eco had gone through a special transformation. Hugo’s face had been skinned, and the power of the Olympus gods had been borrowed to perfect the disguise.

So how did Lee Gun find out?

Eco clenched his eyes. He felt aggrieved at being caught.

‘What kind of person praises his friend when he gets drunk!!! That makes no sense!!!’

Wasn’t it normal to disparage the friend? Eco, who had stolen Hugo’s watch in greed, shed tears.

“Gun!”

When Lee Gun heard the voice of the man he had been looking for, he turned his head immediately. “Taek—”

Murderous intent appeared on Lee Gun’s face as soon as he turned his head. Hugo was being pressed down and restrained by three Constructs. However, that wasn’t important right now. The problem was the bandages covering Hugo’s face.

“Those maggots…” Lee Gun’s voice turned fierce.

While he had seen the mask on the upper floor, he hadn’t seen how it was made.

It seemed Hugo hadn’t received decent medical treatment. His bandages were mottled with blood.

When they saw Lee Gun’s spirit, the Constructs wearing the golden armor quickly raised their spears.

“Protect the product!”

“Get rid of the intruder!”

However, the Constructs restraining Hugo couldn’t speak. Lee Gun had instantly disappeared and reappeared in front of them!

“Huhk…!”

Faced with Lee Gun, the Constructs almost stopped breathing.

Death emanated from Lee Gun’s face, and he didn’t look like a human or a god.

‘Monster!’

He looked like a monster that ate gods.

When Lee Gun swung his hand, the Constructs beside Hugo were ripped apart.

[Eliminate]

It was the power of Death, the power that allowed Lee Gun to rip apart monsters with his bare hands at times.

When he swung his hand, the power of Death destroyed the armor and the protective abilities of his enemies.

Poo-hahk!!!

His enemies were instantly ripped apart.

“K…Kuh-huhk!!”

Two of them fell, and the last one fell on his butt.

“N-No way!”

The Construct didn’t even have the presence of mind to swing his spear.

‘There is no way I would be unaware of a god of this caliber.’

The Construct had felt this level of power before, but that had been from high-rank gods. No, it might have been a level of power given off by the Great Spirits.

Ssuh-guhk!!

“Koo-ahhk!!”

Hugo unsheathed the sword on the Construct’s waist and decapitated him.

“Gun! Are you ok?”

When Hugo’s voice got closer, Death, which was wrapped around Lee Gun, retreated a bit.

Lee Gun clicked his tongue when he saw that Hugo had become a mummy. “What the hell happened to your face?”

“Ah…”

“It’s fine. Let’s head back after I fix it.” Lee Gun extended his hand and tried using Super Regeneration.

“There is no way you’ll run away with the product.”

“!”

Boom!!

An enormous power detonated within the trading place.

Koo-goo-goong!

The ground shook as someone stepped on the ground.

“Is it you who rattled Olympus? Are you the problem child who stepped onto Duat with your sullied feet?”

“!!!”

Everyone was surprised by the appearance of the humanoid figure. He was the great Zodiac who ruled over Duat. He was the owner of the underworld, who possessed the Divine status of Osiris.

The great Zodiac was already angry at Lee Gun for stealing the residents of the underworld. He considered the residents his assets. The Zodiac let out his Divine status as if he was about to attack Lee Gun. “What did you do to my residents?”

“That’s not important right now!” Hades glared at the owner of the underworld. “I need you to settle the balance first. You can kill him after we complete our deal!”

“What nonsense are you talking about? In the first place, you were the one to bring him. That’s what caused all the strife. In fact, I should probably ask for damage compensation!”

Hades looked dumbfounded as his eyes flashed. “Alright. Let’s cancel this deal— Koohk!!”

At that moment, an attack shut Hades up.

Kwahng!!

“Koo-oohk!!”

“Kuhk!”

It was Lee Gun. After sending the power of Death toward Hades, Lee Gun checked his skills.

– Currently available abilities:

– Life Ability (3/8)

[Pain Creation (3 star)], [Return (4 star)], [Return 2 (5 star)]

– Death Ability (3/8)

[Eliminate (1 star)], [Reaper Summon (2 star)], [Cycle (5 star) Requirement not satisfied]

– <???> Ability (2/6)

[Gaze of a God (1 star)], [Death Instinct (4 star)]

Lee Gun smirked when he saw this. Was it because Sagittarius had worked hard to appease the Divine world? Or was someone settling his debt for him?

‘The number of abilities I can use has increased from before.’

Despite this, his opponent was a high-rank Zodiac. Fighting him without any weapons would be hard. Lee Gun was at a disadvantage, yet he didn’t care at all.

“Listen to me well. You will be my cudgel.”

“Ooh-ahhk! What are you saying? Let me go!”

Lee Gun lifted Anubis like a cudgel. Anubis looked like a piece of meat tied to a stick used for bbq. He was an excellent blunt weapon. However, it didn’t end there.

With a savage look in his eyes, Lee Gun lifted Eco. “You will be my shield.”

“Ahhhk!! Why am I the shield?”

“Why else? Taeksoo became my shield as a friend. You dare imitate him despite not being able to do that?”

“Hey! What kind of psycho uses his friend as a shield?”

Hugo massaged his forehead when he was hit with reality.

Osiris and Hades merely scoffed.

“He’s merely a buff-type god!”

If he possessed the power of Life, he was merely a healer-type god!

Lee Gun smirked when Osiris and Hades used their powers.

Kwahng!!!

“Ahhhk!!”

Lee Gun used Anubis and Eco to block the gods’ attacks.

Kwahng!! Kwahng!

Anubis and Eco lost consciousness when they received direct hits from their superiors’ attacks.

Osiris and Hades scoffed when they saw Lee Gun charging toward them.

“Do you think such a shallow trick would work—”

At that moment…

“!!”

They flinched in surprise as they watched Lee Gun.

[Death Instinct (4 star)]

– Max-attack ability unleashed. It can be used until Divine power reaches 0%

The gods’ eyes went wide when they saw a bright light starting to encircle Lee Gun.

“Wait a moment. That power…!”

“Isn’t that the power of a fighting type god— Kuhk!!”

Lee Gun instantly disappeared. His speed couldn’t be compared to before, as he sent both gods flying at once.

Kwahng!!!

Osiris ground his teeth when he crashed into a wall. Gods came in many varieties: fighting gods, punishment gods, wealth gods, luck gods, etc.

Amongst all of them, the strongest were the fighting-type gods. Among them was a rare and valuable subset, called the war gods, who were at the pinnacle.

It was a rare position for which one needed skills as well as achievements! This was why Death Instinct was a top-ten skill that proved that one was a war god! A rookie god shouldn’t possess this power.

‘There is one amongst the Great Spirits who is called the war god!’

However, the gods soon smirked. While that ability was powerful enough to be revered, it had a clear downside.

“It’s a double-edged sword, since that skill consumes a massive amount of energy.”

“How will he be able to withstand the massive amount of Divine power being consumed?”

Divine power was the energy that allowed gods to use their abilities. When it reached 0%, it signaled instant death.

As proof of this, the light around Lee Gun’s body was dimming.

[Divine power left: 8%]

“This is the end for you!”

Then…

“Taeksoo! I suffered a lot looking for you! I’ll take you from here even if I have to give up my life!” Lee Gun suddenly shouted out of the blue.

“????”

The gods assumed he was uttering his last words. However, something surprising happened.

[A disciple with high faith has been deeply moved. There has been an explosion of faith.]

[Your divine power has recharged through the prayer of the disciple.]

[Divine power: 80%]

At this sudden surge in Lee Gun’s power, the expressions on the two god’s faces were a sight to behold. They wondered how such a thing was possible.

On the other hand, Lee Gun had experienced what 600% faith could do on the earth. This was why he let out a savage laugh. “You should be worried about yourselves instead of me.”

“…?!”

He immediately disappeared. Then, he violently struck Osiris and Hades.

Kwahng!!

“Kuhk!”

“Koo-ahk!”

The two gods struck and became embedded in the wall.

Lee Gun quickly canceled Death Instinct and rushed toward Hugo. “I have business here. You should head up first. Yooha came here too. She wanted to see her father.”

“Yooha?”

“Hmmph! You think too lowly of the gods of the underworld.”

“!”

The bloodied Hades barely stood back up. “It seems you must have fought a lot when you were a human. You were able to acquire the right to use Death Instinct, but there are things that a war god can and cannot do.”

“!”

When he heard Hades’s words, Lee Gun furrowed his brows. He cracked his knuckles as if to dismiss Hades’ words. However, he soon realized something. “Hey, Taeksoo. Did you eat something while you were here?”

Hades had an ability called “Rule of the Underground world.” It was said to be an unforgiving ability.

In other words, the ability prevented anyone who had eaten the food of the underworld from leaving this place. Persephone had eaten a mere three pomegranate seeds, yet she couldn’t completely return to the living world.

This was why the Virgo Constructs had given Lee Gun a firm warning before he had left the earth.

Lee Gun raised his eyebrows. “Did you eat something because you were hungry?”

“Do you think I’m you? I didn’t even lay my hands on water after I came here!”

“I didn’t think you would do something like that, but…”

Still unsteady on his feet, Hades laughed. “Yes. You didn’t eat anything, but I did plant something in you!”

“!”

As soon as Hades spoke, Hugo vomited blood.

Lee Gun flinched in surprise as he grabbed his friend. Hades’s ability activated at that moment.

[Three Seeds of the Pomegranate (5 star)]

– Anyone who falls within its range will become Hades’s subject. You will not be able to exit the underworld.

– You will become a Construct under Hades

Accompanying an incredible light, a strange magic circle appeared under the entirety of Duat. This time, Anubis and Osiris were shocked. After all, Hades’s ability influenced them too.

“Wait a moment! What are you doing?”

“Hades! That ability traps a living being within the underworld!”

“That ability should have been used only on Pushover and the snake god! So why?”

Hades burst out laughing. “Stupid gods of Ennead! That old-fashioned ability was my father’s ability. That ability was slightly changed when I succeeded him!”

“What?”

“I planned on using it after Pushover went over to your territory, but it doesn’t matter now.”

“!”

“It’s a shame that the Great Spirit didn’t get caught in it, but you guys will be beneficial to me during the Great Spirit war.”

Osiris was a pillar of Ennead. Anubis was a high-rank god. Then there was Lee Gun. Their presence would be excellent for Hades.

“Thank you for showing off your skills, Snake god. You can use your surprising power as a fighting-type god for me!”

Having been stabbed in the back, the gods of Ennead glared at Hades.

“Bastard! You never planned on going through with the deal! You dare cheat Ennead?”

“Haha. Duat is first!”

Flash!

Lee Gun narrowed his eyes at the flashing light.

[Warning! Hades activated his ability.]

[Warning! You are being forced to become Hades’ Construct.]

The powerful ability of the underworld god seized all the gods within Duat.

“Ahhhk!! Master!”

All the gods of Duat were dragged into Hades’s shadow.

Kwahng! Kwahng!

Even Anubis was no exception.

All of them were being forcefully changed into Hades’s Constructs!

To accomplish this, Hades had pretended to make a deal about Hugo. He had used it to his advantage.

Hades would receive money, and when Hugo went over to the other side, Hade would have activated his ability to turn the entire force of Ennead into his Constructs!

Of course, whether he could make a Great Spirit into a Construct was not confirmed, but Hades was a shrewd god.

Anubis having been dragged away meant that he had constructed a new power

Kwah-jeek!

That power had paralyzed Lee Gun’s body, who was caught by Hades’s shadow too.

“Do not be disappointed, snake god. If you stay under me, you will be able to see me reach the unexplored territory called stage 6. You will see me use it as your master”

Lee Gun jeered. What the hell did he say?

“Stage 6?”

At that moment, Lee Gun twitched his hands.

Flash!

Hades flinched at the light emanating from Lee Gun’s body. At the same time, Lee Gun heard a welcoming sound.

[Virgo has paid off a portion of the Serpent Bearer’s debt.]

[A portion of the Divine world’s penalty has been released.]

[You can partially use your sealed skills and abilities.]

Lee Gun smirked when he heard the voice. He had wondered why the Virgo had been silent up to this point. But it didn’t matter in the end.

Lee Gun laughed when he saw one of the skills that had been released.

[This is my power (Name Before Modification: Praise Your Father)]

– Skill made by the thirteenth original owner. Seals the berserk Divine statuses. It can temporarily lower them to stage 5.

– Fuck Off (Name Before Modification: I Love You Dad)

– If you shout I Love You Dad, Limit Cancel status will activate. You will be able to use stage 6

“Fuck Off.”

Lee Gun’s stage 6 Divine statuses were released.
