The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 351: Nephew! (1)

Sagittarius Louis. Once, he had been a part of the Creator tribe.

It was not too long ago after Lee Gun’s father, Aslan, was born, the time when Sagittarius was called Garan.

“Hyung-nim! Garan hyung-nim!”

“You’ll fall, Aslan. Don’t run.”

Everyone had been envious of Garan at that time. He was a god who had everything, including wealth and power.

However, his mother wasn’t a creator, so he wasn’t officially part of the Creator tribe. That was why he was jealous and afraid of his genius little brother, Aslan, who was outstanding.

Blinded by jealousy, Garan had helped to kill the Creators. He had usurped the positions of the Creators. However, his and the other usurpers’ thrones were later stolen in the same fashion by their underlings.

Garan realized that his throne being usurped was the revenge enacted by his younger brother, and he saw the big picture. He thought of his underlings murdering him as a way to pay off his sins.

Of course, he had never expected the underling who had killed him to fail to fully absorb him and die. Instead of his underling’s personality, Garan’s personality had remained in the body.

Moreover, he never expected his nephew, whom he had suddenly gained, to be so unreasonable. He had also never expected his nephew to stab his uncle in the back like this!!

“Who am I? I’m his nephew.”

‘Ahhk! Nephew!!!’

You weren’t supposed to reveal that!!!

Sagittarius became pale from fright when Lee Gun revealed his identity. Of all the places to reveal it, he had done it in front of the pillar gods and the Great Spirit!

Sagittarius felt murderous intent directed toward him from his surroundings!

“He’s your nephew…”

“Is that how it is? That snake god is your nephew?”

“It isn’t like…that!” The desperate Saggitarius looked at Lee Gun.

However, Lee Gun had the brightest smile on his face. His expression said Sagittarius was being thrown to the wolves. It was up to him to survive this situation.

Boom!

“!!”

The Great Spirit’s castle shook violently.

Sagittarius felt like dying as the Great Spirit’s power raged around him.

‘There is no way he’ll kill a high-rank god.’

The gods used their power as if they were going to make Sagittarius give up his power. Because of Lee Gun, Olympus had been attacked and cheated by the other factions.

“Yes. There had to be a connection for him to be able to enter the holy grounds of Olympus.”

“Louis, you playboy bastard. I was wondering why you couldn’t properly attack the snake god.”

“In the recent fight between the factions, you didn’t even participate. You went off to play. I thought you had lost your touch.”

“No!”

Sagittarius once again looked at Lee Gun as if he were asking for help, but Lee Gun was still laughing as though he were innocent.

Seeing himself surrounded, Sagittarius inevitably became angry. “Hey! How can you believe that? He’s lying!”

“He’s lying?”

“Yes. He’s trying to run away after putting all the blame on me…”

“You’re too much, Uncle!”

“?!”

Lee Gun looked hurt as he gazed at Sagittarius. “Uncle asked me to take care of Hades. You said you hated Hades’s guts.”

What the hell did he just say?

Lee Gun lowered his head, and his shoulders shook as if he was pretending to cry. “I just wanted to be loved by Uncle. I knew it would cause harm to the Divine world, yet I did my best! Now that your nephew is caught, you throw me away as if I’m nothing!”

Ah! He felt like he was losing his mind! Sagittarius grabbed the back of his neck.

However, Lee Gun ignored him as he acted sadly.

“If you don’t believe me, you can do a DNA test!”

That would prove nothing!

‘Humans and gods are different!’

Sagittarius had a headache. He had no idea why his nephew was acting this way, but he was clearly doing this on purpose.

The gods became angry.

“We can’t locate the registry. Where did he put it?”

[The registry doesn’t matter.]

“Lord of Heaven!”

[A low-rank Divine item can be found in no time if I put my mind to it.]

“Oh, Great Spirit. This is a problem that affects the lives of all the gods within Olympus.”

[Shut up!]

The flashing figure looked more interested in Lee Gun than in his dependents.

[Snake god! How did you kill Hades?]

“!”

[Hades was less than a hundred years old, so he might have been immature. However, he wasn’t someone a snake like you would have been able to eat.]

Lee Gun snorted. He had purposefully let himself get caught to find the Great Spirit, who had hidden very well. Now that he had found the Great Spirit, he had no reason to act like he was caught. That was why he had gotten Sagittarius involved.

Lee Gun smirked. “Have you lost your mind? Why would I tell you my trade secret?”

The flashing figure laughed in response to Lee Gun’s laughter.

[Then I’ll change the question.]

“?”

[Do you have any idea about the Creators?]

What?

* * *

“Aahhhk!”

Hugo and Yeonwoo exited the black pond. They had been dropped off on the eighteenth floor, the floor of entertainment, of all places.

Tossed out in the air of the eighteenth floor, both of them fell into different hot springs.

Splash!!

Screams rang out from the hot springs.

“Ahhhk! Who the hell is this?”

The voice of a young man rang out. It was Pan (Satyr), whom Lee Gun had met while illegally entering the Divine world!

Pan, who had taken up a part-time job at the hot springs, was shocked.

‘I was finally able to meet Virgo! Why did the commotion have to start right now?’

At that moment, someone grabbed the back of Pan’s neck. “Are you the idiot called Pan?”

Pan turned pale when he saw Lee Gun’s Constructs, who had followed Hugo. His reaction was expected since Lee Gun’s Constructs were high-rank, fighting-type gods, who were famous within the Divine world.

“Ahhk! What business does a high rank Construct like you have with me?”

“Just shut up and take this. Master sent this. It’s an order to smuggle people out of here.”

“What? Smuggle people out of here… Let’s put that aside for now. You said Master! Who is great enough to order around…!”

Hugo, who was barely able to exit the water, coughed. He looked like he wanted to cry. “Gun…!!”

He remembered the last image of Lee Gun, who had transported him. His friend had sacrificed himself and looked like he was giving his last goodbye.

“What do you plan on doing by yourself…!”

Meeny Jotunn and Miny Berserk started to sweat when they saw Hugo about to wail.

[Do you understand? You guys are dead if you tell Taeksoo.]

To kill the Great Spirit, Lee Gun had purposefully let himself get caught and pretended to be close to death in front of Hugo.

If Hugo was worried about Lee Gun, he would continuously pray for Lee Gun. It would continuously fill up Lee Gun’s Divine power.

‘If we tell the truth, that servant will get angry.’

‘T-That is how I see it.’

Currently, Lee Gun was benefiting from Hugo’s worry.

[Divine power is being filled to the brim.]

[Divine power is being filled to the brim.]

…

[Divine power is being filled to the brim.]

Since they were immediate Constructs who guarded their master, they could check up on Lee Gun’s status in real-time. If they knew when their master was in danger, it allowed them to come up with a plan of action.

In the end, although they felt guilty, they tapped Hugo’s shoulder.

“M-Master might be in danger, but I’m sure he will be fine. He’s powerful!”

“Yes! Also, Master wanted us to give you this!”

“What?”

Hugo was taken aback when he saw the item taken out by Lee Gun’s Constructs. “R-Recorder? He told you to give this to me?”

“That’s correct. He said to listen to it 24/7. It doesn’t matter if you’re awake or asleep. You should keep it on.”

“What??”

‘What the hell is recorded here that I have to listen to it 24/7?’

That wasn’t the only important item given to him.

“This is Hades’s registry and Permission Tickets!”

Surprised, Hugo pointed at the several dozen leftover tickets. “He had this many Permission Tickets left? Why didn’t he end the lives of the gods using this?”

Lee Gun had said that he was unable to manipulate the lifespan of the gods because he was short on Permission Tickets.

At that moment, Meeny relayed Lee Gun’s words. “Ah! Master said, ‘I have to use it to extend Taeksoo’s lifespan.’ This was why he said they were off limits.”

“Gunnnnnnnn!!!” Hugo wailed.

At the same time, the Constructs heard it.

[Serpent Bearer’s Divine power is filling up.]

[Serpent Bearer’s Divine power is filling up.]

[Serpent Bearer’s Divine power is filling up.]

[Divine power 100% ▶150% (Over Capacity)]

The Constructs’ mouths fell open. They were dumbfounded. They had done as their master ordered, and they could now see why the Zodiacs and Great Spirits coveted Hugo.

‘What the hell is he?’

‘Did he do something in the past?’

‘Did he record some bizarre Achievement in the past?’

From what they had observed, Yooha also filled up the Divine power at breakneck speed.

“Anyway, let’s hurry up and smuggle ourselves out of this place. It is the opportune time, as the upper floors are in turmoil.”

However, Hugo went to Yeonwoo, who had fallen into the hot spring next to them, and said, “I can’t go by myself. I have to move Gun far away from the gods.”

“What?”

When Hugo had been imprisoned inside Hades’s palace, he had heard a conversation between Hades and Hermes.

‘They are looking for the last survivor of the Creator tribe.’

Hugo immediately realized who the survivor was.

‘It’s Gun.’

From what he had heard, the Creators were geniuses who could feed the entire universe. It was like a genius being able to feed an entire country.

That part wasn’t the problem. The problem was the conversation that followed after that.

[Creators are servants of the Divine world. We’re the children of the Divine world. We’re qualified to use their power for our benefit.]

[They were immediate slaves under the Divine world. Of course, we have that right.]

[Slaves? They were clearly on higher strata than us. It isn’t easy to reach the servant status of the Divine world. Do you realize how tremendous the Divine world is?]

[Who cares if they are talented? At the end of the day, they are dirty and crude compared to us.]

[I guess it doesn’t matter what happens if we can use that power.]

‘…!’

Hugo had been dumbfounded when he had heard this. He wasn’t sure about anything except one thing.

‘They will use Gun for their benefit.’

It was why Hugo had sent those strange letters from Hades’s palace. He had thought Lee Gun might see it by chance if he did come to the Divine world.

Hugo knew Lee Gun getting more involved with the Divine world meant trouble.

‘Even Gun can’t win against the Great Spirit.’

While he had been imprisoned, he had seen the Great Spirit once. This being was powerful beyond imagination.

‘I have to help Gun escape before he gets used by the gods.’

Boom!!!

The Divine world trembled. It shook so violently that the situation couldn’t be compared to an earthquake.

“Wait a moment! What the hell is that…!”

Lee Gun’s Constructs turned pale from fright when they looked up at the ceiling. An unidentified monster was moving through the split sky. At the same time, voices rang in all directions.

“Hey! Did you hear?”

“The upper floor is in turmoil!”

“The prisoners that were banished to the cracks between the floors have escaped! The monsters have escaped too!”

“What? Is someone trying to destroy the Divine world? Who did it?”

The situation within the Divine world was pretty dire.

“Aren’t they the ones who hold a grudge against the Great Spirits? How…!”

“Which crazy bastard destroyed the cracks between the floors?”

“I never knew destroying them was even possible!”

Hugo knew the only person capable of doing it. He started to sweat.

When Lee Gun had first entered the Divine world, he had bought the wrath of the Divine world by using counterfeit money and was dropped toward the twentieth floor.

However, Hugo had heard Lee Gun had stopped on the eighteenth floor by destroying the floors in between…

Could it be?

* * *

Olympus!

The gods blanched when they heard the Great Spirit’s words.

“Creators? Why do you ask the snake god about their existence?”

The Great Spirit laughed.

[He probably doesn’t know. If he doesn’t know, it doesn’t matter. There is something more important to discuss.]

“!”

A menacing light emanated from the Great Spirit.

[Do you have the Divine status of Asclepius?]

“What?”

[I think you might have it. You’re the snake god who inherited the Serpent Bearer’s seat. Your previous generation stole that precious Divine status.]

“!”

Those words made Lee Gun think about what Aslan had said.

– What? You had the Divine status of Asclepius?

– Yes. The Divine status of Asclepius was something I stole a long time ago.

-You stole it? Why?

– The reason was Cycle. The Divine status of Cycle was something that had been lost a long time ago. I was able to revive it using the Life Divine status.

– !

– Of course, it had merely been a rumor at the time, so I had used it as Healing Support (Stage 3). However, I suddenly developed Death at some point. When I possessed Life and Death, a new Divine status of Cycle appeared.

– Then…

– At the time, the Divine world gave that power the temporary name of Ouroboros.

It was an unknown power that no one had been able to revive before. In the end, when Aslan died, the Serpent Bearer’s throne had stored the Divine status of Asclepius. It was then transferred to Lee Gun.

When Lee Gun recalled the conversation with Aslan, the Great Spirit smirked.

[Are you listening to me?]

Lee Gun snorted. “Who cares about that?”

[Is that so? It’s fine if you don’t know about that.]

“Lord of Heaven!”

[This is my last word to you.]

Sagittarius clenched his eyes shut. The inevitable had come.

[Oh, snake god. Join Olympus.]

All the pillar gods, including Sagittarius, were surprised.

“W-Wait a moment, Great Spirit!”

“That’s preposterous!”

“He’s the one who ruined Olympus….”

At that moment…

“Alright.”

“!”

“However, there is a problem.” As if he had been waiting for this moment, Lee Gun’s eyes emitted a red light. “You’re the one, right? You’re the one who stole the most important part of Taeksoo.”

[!]

Lee Gun emanated a strange scent. The power of Life and Death was activated separately at the same time.

The gods couldn’t believe their eyes.

‘What is that power…?’

Gathering his Divine power had been worthwhile. Lee Gun smirked. “Give it to me, bastard.”

[Cycle]

The Great Spirit’s palace shook violently.
