The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero-Chapter 358: Eyes Wide Open (1)

Chapter 358 - Eyes Wide Open (1)

Sagittarius’s face froze as he looked at Hugo. Only one thought ran through his head.

‘I’m dead if they find out!’

He had no idea why such a large bounty was attached to his name, but these bullies didn’t care if he was Lee Gun’s uncle or Hugo’s old master.

Of course, Hugo was gullible, so Sagittarius could talk himself out of it with him. However, Lee Gun was a different story.

‘At the very least, he’ll have my head.’

Sagittarius would be fortunate if it ended with him losing his head! It wouldn’t be strange to see Lee Gun chop him up and send his body parts to the auction house for a price!

Therefore, the anxious Sagittarius became serious.

‘I have to hide it at all costs.’

Or maybe, he should betray them before he was found out! He was called the Divine world’s most elegant aristocrat, yet an ugly expression appeared on his face as his eyes flashed.

“Uncle…!”

Yooha smiled at Lee Gun, who had appeared before her. Lee Gun had used Pond Walk to appear from Yooha’s shadow.

Yooha was happy to see her uncle, but she soon bit her tongue. “I’m sorry, Uncle. You told me to stay and wait at the temple…”

“No. You did well.”

Thanks to her, he would be able to capture the ones he was hunting down. They were all gathered in one place. There was more.

[Part of your 50-billion debt has been paid off.]

[You have 48-billion debt left.]

[Your sealed ability has been released.]

Thanks to the gods that Yooha had sold off, Lee Gun had one of his abilities unsealed.

However, the Construct hiding within Lee Gun’s shadow looked shocked.

[Please be careful, Master. He is the fighting-type god of Olympus.]

“!”

Disinfectant (Iaso) was referring to the male god, who had aimed for Yooha. This god was a rugged being with long, disheveled hair. His eyes had a wildness to them.

[Divine status: Hercules]

From the look of the god’s body, Lee Gun could understand why everyone was skeptical that he was a martial god.

‘The Leo Saint and the Taurus Saint would look almost cute next to him.’

Amongst the twelve Zodiac Saints, the two with the most robust bodies had nothing on the male god in front of him right now.

It seemed the war gods of the Divine world boasted a different level of muscles compared to humans.

Raising her guard, Iaso sharply said.

[Fighting-type gods are powerful combat gods who protect the Divine world.]

‘Fighting-type god?’

Lee Gun had heard something similar when he had used “Death Instinct” within Duat.

His Constructs ground her teeth as she looked at the man.

[He was clearly sent to take revenge for the gods of Olympus…!]

Revenge?

When Lee Gun contemptuously laughed, the fighting-type god looked amused. He looked at Lee Gun as if he were looking at a kid.

“By the look of your energy, you seem to be the one they were referring to. You turned Olympus into a mess.”

It seemed the fighting-type god was sent by the Great Spirit, as he immediately recognized Lee Gun.

He looked at Lee Gun with contempt, as if the latter were a great oddity. “You’re a mere servant of the Divine world, so how can you even think about making that your Construct?”

“!”

The fighting-type god was unexpectedly talking about Yooha. To be precise, he was looking at Yooha’s arm. “You’ll cause harm to the Divine world if you keep that around.”

Yooha’s arm contained something that the gods of the Divine world shunned. The gods that caused harm to the Divine world weren’t rewarded by the Divine world, and it was a problem if one wasn’t liked by the Divine world.

Lee Gun’s eyes flashed. It can harm the Divine world?

However, that wasn’t important right now.

“Herc! I’m glad you are here!”

“Hurry up and steal his Divine status!”

“If we acquire it, we’ll be able to return our territory to its original state!”

“!”

The ones to shout were the pillar gods of Olympus, who were surrounded by other gods.

The fighting-type god moved, seeming annoyed at their words.

The gods, who had come to capture the pillar gods, reacted in fright.

“My god! Those crazy bastards let loose a fighting-type god?”

Fighting-type gods stood at the pinnacle amongst the war gods. They were quite valuable and had skills as well as Achievements. They were the ones to defend the Divine world in case of emergencies.

“They are the ones who fought off and sent back the monarchs when they invaded…!”

No one dared to mess with any force that possessed a fighting-type god.

However, all the fighting-type gods possessed bad personalities, and their powers were too violent. Therefore, they weren’t mobilized often. That was why the gods were taken aback.

“Who is that guy?”

“Who do you think it is? He’s the culprit who destroyed Olympus!”

The gods were shocked when someone said that. They looked at Lee Gun.

“What? Olympus was broken by a bastard who looks like he’s suffering from malnutrition?!”

Lee Gun became angry at those words, while the gods of Olympus scrunched up their faces.

“My god! Olympus really fell off a cliff…!”

“They are unqualified idiot merchants now.”

The insides of Olympus’s pillar gods boiled when they heard that. They hadn’t fallen off. Lee Gun was an existence that defied expectations.

‘If only he didn’t have the Divine status of Cycle….’

They had purposefully omitted the information about the Divine status of Cycle from the Divine world.

‘It is a power that no one had succeeded in using before.’

They couldn’t accept that someone with no foundation was able to use it! Moreover, if the information was spread, that power would be stolen by others.

This was why they gave the order.

“Herc!”

“Damn it! We’ll reward you richly!”

As soon as those words were spoken, the fighting-type god flew toward Lee Gun. He didn’t just fly through the air.

Kwahng!!

A familiar energy appeared from the fighting-type god’s body. It was the ability of Death Instinct, which only fighting-type gods could use.

“I’ll turn you into a snakeskin wallet!”

The fighting-type god’s hands were about to rip apart Lee Gun when…

“Fuck off!” Looking angry, Lee Gun jumped toward the fighting-type god. He aimed his fist toward the fighting-type god. An unimaginable power struck the fighting-type god’s face.

Kwahng!!

The thunderous sound made everyone’s ears ring.

After being hit and sent flying by Lee Gun, the fighting-type god pierced through the buildings. He passed through more than a few dozen buildings!

Kwahng! Kwahng! Kwahng!

“Kyahhhk!”

Having destroyed a temple, Lee Gun looked annoyed as he landed on the ground. “Idiot! Do you really think you’re the only one who can use that power?”

The gods couldn’t believe their eyes, as Lee Gun emanated a white light.

[Death Instinct is active.]

[Remaining Divine Power: 30%]

The scene shocked the gods. The Olympus gods furrowed their brows. They hadn’t been mistaken. This was the power that the snake god had used against the Great Spirit.

At that moment, they had been unable to confirm it because of the light of Cycle being mixed in with that power.

When his speed changed, it confirmed their suspicion.

‘There was a reason the Great Spirit tried to recruit him.’

Fighting-type gods were rarely seen unless there was a war.

‘He’ll command an incredible amount of money.’

‘I never expected him to be a fighting-type god.’

However, there was no way Lee Gun would be able to contend with Olympus’s fighting-type god. The amount of internal energy and Achievements amassed by the two of them differed too much.

On the other hand, the gods who had seen Lee Gun for the first time were stunned.

“That snake god was a fighting-type god?!”

“If he’s a fighting-type god, isn’t he a candidate to become a Great Spirit?!”

“This changes everything…!”

The fighting-type god, who had been sent flying for a while, wiped the blood away as he approached Lee Gun. “What the hell? You are a fighting-type god too?”

Lee Gun furrowed his brows. The fighting-type god massaged his face as if it hurt a lot, but he hadn’t fallen. He was a formidable foe.

However, the fighting-type god felt no desire to fight Lee Gun. “This changes everything. You should become the Great Spirit.”

“What?”

“Something strange happened to the Great Spirit, and he ceased to exist. That’s why the balance within the Divine world is off, and they are picking the next Great Spirit. You should do it. If you’re a fighting-type god, you have the qualification needed to become a fighting-type god.”

Lee Gun snorted as if he was dumbfounded. “Fuck off! I have to go home and play with my niece and nephew. I have a lot of toys to make.”

“Home? Is it the dimension that you rule over? Earth?”

“What? Does that bother you?” Lee Gun held up his blade, which he had made by grinding up Abundance.

The fighting-type god laughed in pity. “Mmm. Earth? That place will be destroyed soon.”

“What?”

The fighting-type god charged toward Lee Gun.

A strong power pressed down on Lee Gun, but Lee Gun smirked after he blocked his opponent’s arm.

“It seems you are overflowing with power!” Lee Gun looked excited as he kicked the fighting-type god.

Bbah-gahk!! Kwahng!

The gods looked up to the fighting-type god for a reason. His attacks were heavy. He wasn’t someone to be underestimated, but that didn’t matter to Lee Gun.

[The Divine power applied to the body has been activated.]

- Owner of the Dimensional Floor was chased out (4 star) (Permanent Defense Increase)

- Fear of Death was awakened within the master of the underworld (5 star) (Permanent Attack Increase)

When the Achievements (Divine Power) were placed on Lee Gun’s body, his power surged forth. These were the Achievements and levels that he had amassed. If he sold them, they would be a great help in resolving his debt.

The gods who acquired special Achievements immediately sold them. However, Lee Gun didn’t do that.

‘Selling them is a waste!’

Achievements were like stats. They could be used to increase his body’s abilities or used as skills. Moreover, Lee Gun had further Achievements that he acquired afterward.

[Subjugated the underworld gods of Ennead (5 star)]

[Destroyed Olympus (6 star)]

Lee Gun immediately used the 5-star Achievement. Accompanying a thunderous sound, his hand emanated a red light.

Kwah-gwa-gwahng!

[Subjugated the underworld gods of Ennead (5 star)]

- If your opponent is part of the Divine race, it reduces the equipment stats of the opponent by 50%.

The pillar gods of Olympus ground their teeth at this sight.

‘That damn bastard is using Achievements.’

They hadn’t known if Lee Gun was holding back from using it or if he didn’t know how to use it. However, Lee Gun had probably received an Achievement when he brought about the downfall of Olympus. It was an Achievement gained from destroying one of the great eight forces. At the very least, it would be a 5-star rank Achievement!

‘We have to stop him from using it.’

They could guess the implications of that power.

‘If I can get rid of that snake god, I might become a Great Spirit in one shot…!’

If a god killed Lee Gun, they would be able to acquire the Divine status of Cycle as well as the highest rank achievement for destroying Olympus.

They wanted to use it to make Hercules the Great Spirit when the selection match started, to acquire the Token of the Great Spirit.

‘Why did that thief Aslan have to steal that?’

Token was something the Divine world handed down to the gods. It was one of the Divine world’s cores. It was a pillar of the Divine world, and a Great Spirit could use the entirety of one’s power with it.

The problem was Aslan, who was Lee Gun’s father. He had stolen the important healing god of Olympus. As if stealing the Divine status of Asclepius wasn’t enough, he had also stolen the Token of the Great Spirit! This was why the Great Spirit of Olympus couldn’t use his powers fully.

There was a reason the gods of Olympus had started walking the road of merchants.

They had wanted the 600%-Faith Construct to win the Great Zodiac battle. It would allow them to acquire an ownerless Core of the Divine world!

‘That snake god got in the way!’

The pillar gods, who were surrounded, bit their lips.

“Oh, loyal servants of Olympus! Go help the fighting-type god of Olympus!”

As if they were responding to Poseidon’s words, water spirits appeared on the floor.

Hwah-roo-roo-roohk!!

“Kuh-huhk!”

“Ooh-ahhk!”

The fierce fire of the sun rained down from the sky, evaporating the water spirits.

Poseidon became angry when he realized who was the owner of that powerful ability. “Louis!!”

He didn’t even need to ask how Sagittarius was able to use his abilities.

“Did you give up on walking the path of a god? How can a pillar god become a servant of a human-born god?”

Most of the pillar gods of Olympus were humans right now. There was only one way they would be able to use their abilities!

To live (?), Sagittarius had done something he didn’t want to do. He became Hugo’s Zodiac Saint. No, he became Hugo’s Construct, and he was having a great time flicking his finger to send flames flying.

The pillar gods became filled with anger.

“Why the hell is he acting that way over there?”

“He has the highest bounty— Oohp!!”

Sagittarius’s arrow pierced the solar plexus of Aphrodite, who was about to say something.

After sending the arrow flying, Sagittarius lowered his head. “I got rid of her, Master.”

“Louis! Have you lost your mind? You have a bounty of sixty— Kuh-huhk!”

This arrow flew toward Athena this time.

“Haha! What are you saying? I’m the most inconsequential one. Ah, Nephew. You should take down Poseidon. He’s the blue hair. His bounty is five billion Talents!”

“Louis!”

Sagittarius desperately tried to hide that there was a bounty on his head.

Kwahng!!!

Lee Gun furrowed his brows as he held onto Olympus’s fighting-type god. “Tsk! If I had Heaven’s Punishment, I could dice this guy up.”

Lee Gun gave up on Hercules since the cost-to-benefit ratio of turning him into an achievement was too high. He went for the pillar gods. “I have to pay my debt first.”

The fighting-type god seemed amused. “I thought you were crooked, but you’re unexpectedly a good boy. You ignored the big fish by your side even though you want to pay off your debt. Is it because he’s your uncle?”

“What? Big fish?”

“Yes. Sagittari— Kuh-huhk!!”

An arrow landed within the mouth of the fighting-type god.

Flustered, Sagittarius yelled, “N-Nephew! Don’t even bother with the one that won’t make you any money! Hurry up and catch the others!”

Lee Gun felt something was amiss, so he turned on the phone, which he had received from Sagittarius. Operating it was tricky, so he hadn’t been using it. If he accessed the network using it, he would be able to receive the latest bounty info. However, an arrow flew toward him at that moment!

Pah-gahk!

Sagittarius sweated as he destroyed Lee Gun’s phone. Then he criticized the blameless Hugo. “I-Idiot master. You shot the arrow in a way that it missed.”

“Hey, you pushed me.”

This made Lee Gun look at Sagittarius with great suspicion.

At that moment, Lime suddenly fell from the sky and landed on top of Lee Gun’s head. It was unclear as to where Lime had found it, but it brought out a paper.

Sagittarius's face turned pale when he saw the paper.

[Dead or Alive]

[Sagittarius 65 Billion]

Would you look at this? Lee Gun let out a savage laugh. “What the hell? I just have to catch one, and my problem will be solved?”

Lee Gun had eyes for no other as he cracked his knuckles.

Sagittarius cussed out the slime. It held the wanted poster and was shaking its goods like an idol.

That damn slime!! What kind of grudge did it have against him?

Lee Gun smirked as he let go of his power. The fighting-type god looked at Lee Gun, puzzled.

“I’m no longer interested in you guys. You guys can fuck off. I don’t care. Do as you please.”

When Lee Gun turned around as if he found all this bothersome, the fighting-type god’s eyes flashed. “I still have business with you.”

It seemed he wanted to take Lee Gun’s Divine status. The fighting-type god let out Divine power as he rushed Lee Gun.

At that moment…

“I’ll be your opponent.”

“!”

Hailey lightly landed in front of the fighting-type god.

Hercules’s eyes turned round when he saw Hailey, who was blocking his path. He suddenly came to a stop.

“!’

Even his fist came to a stop, when he had no reason to do so.

Hailey furrowed her brows.

The fighting-type god looked absentminded as he lowered his fists. His next words were unexpected.

“P-Pretty.”

It was as if he had never planned on attacking Lee Gun. His face turned red as he retreated.

Hailey was taken aback, and Lee Gun viciously glared at him. What the hell?
