The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 370 - Fate that is starting to change (1)

When Atropos (Future) met Lee Gun’s eyes, she shook from fear.

‘That god…’

The process wasn’t instantaneous, but the goddesses of fate could read the information of their opponents. They could do so by looking into the eyes of their opponents.

Klotho (Past) could read the Karmic debt and the road taken by the opponent. Lachesis (Present) could see the fork in the road and the choices that the opponent faced. Atropos (Future) was able to meet the opponent at the end of the road, the final destination.

However, when Atropos met eyes with Lee Gun, she froze.

‘Monster.’

A fear that she had never felt before gripped her.

‘He was said to be a fledgling god with no past life.’

If fledgling gods were described through the language of the gods, it would be expressed like this.

While fledgling gods were a blessing, they were also troublesome foes to deal with.

However, Atropos had seen the end of Lee Gun’s fate and learned something more important than anything she had learned so far. “You are a Creator!”

“!”

Although Lee Gun didn’t have any data about his previous life, Atropos had seen a familiar piece of data at the end of Lee Gun’s fate. It was the data of a Creator!

‘The human smell was so thick that we didn’t notice it.’

It was unclear why a god smelled so much like a human, but that wasn’t important.

“You have yet to awaken, so I didn’t notice it. However, a living Creator changes the story.”

The goddesses of fate coveted Sagittarius because they wanted to revive a Creator. Unfortunately, Sagittarius had his soul mixed up with his Construct. He had been an impure vessel.

But Lee Gun was a pure vessel. Moreover, he couldn’t be compared to Louis in terms of age. Lee Gun was a green and young god!

This thought drove the old woman crazy as her eyes flashed.

‘I have to cut away and take his thing!’

That way, the dream of reviving the Creators wouldn’t be a dream.

The old woman discreetly got up. She let out an elegant smile as if she had caused Lee Gun an inconvenience. Then she lowered her head. “Oh, snake god. You’re the god of blessing who is treasured by even the Divine world. We apologize for any transgression—”

Bbah-gahk!!

“Kuh-huhk—”

Lee Gun had no plan of hearing her out. He kicked Atropos in the face, sending her flying.

When Atropos came to her senses, Lee Gun was stepping on her with a smirk on his lips. “Stop with the nonsense. Hand over the Rule Book.”

Atropos looked dismayed, and she tried to say something. However, Virgo and Hugo pointed their weapons at her.

“…!”

At this point, Atropos yelled in desperation, “We don’t have the Rule Book!”

“Oh. Is that so? That’s the plan you are going with?”

“This isn’t a plan. I’m telling the truth!” Atropos looked aggrieved as she shouted, “The Rule Book is with Norn’s goddess of fate!”

“!”

The eyes of Virgo and Sagittarius turned round at the unexpected name. Only two groups in the Divine world were called the goddesses of fate. The first group was Moirai, which they controlled. The other group was the Norns.

Both groups had goddesses of fate working directly under the Divine world. However, the Norns were originally under Valhalla.

“I see. I was wondering why you guys didn’t use the full power of fate. Did you make a bet with the Norns?” Virgo sounded amused.

This made Hugo furrow his brows.

‘The ones to show up inside Hades’s palace were them?’

He was wondering why they had felt different from the goddesses of Moirai. Giselle wasn’t with these goddesses of Fate. She was probably with the Norns.

Atropos spoke knowingly, “Anyway, we lost a bet with them around a hundred years ago. They took the Rule Book— Ahhk!”

Lee Gun, who had knocked Future to the ground, held up something as he grinned. “Then what is this?”

“!”

The goddess was flabbergasted when she saw the item. It was none other than a notebook. The goddess wondered why Lee Gun had it. Hugo sighed as he looked at someone, and the goddess soon had her answer.

‘That piece of clay…!’

While she had been unconscious, Lee Gun’s slime had entered her clothes and stolen the Divine item.

Lime had handed over the Rule Book as soon as Lee Gun had come out. It danced in joy.

[Clump of Creation Clay says the rules can be edited with this.]

[Clump of Creation Clay laughs, saying there is no way she can dodge its detection.]

The goddess immediately said to Lee Gun, “That isn’t the official Rule Book.”

“Official Rule Book?”

“You want to exit the Divine world, right? If you want to fix that, you need the official Rule Book. We possess the unofficial one! The unofficial Rule Book can fix only the small rules.”

“This is what you are referring to?”

“Yes…!”

“Hmmph. It’s an unofficial one.”

This meant he couldn’t fix the rules as he wanted.

“What is the limit to fixing the rules with this?”

“That is… You will be able to stay attached to the earth.”

Lee Gun immediately had an understanding.

‘While it can’t completely change the rules, it is still quite effective.’

That wasn’t all.

‘That isn’t the only rule I want to change.’

When Lee Gun smirked, Atropos picked up on what he was thinking. She grabbed him. “S-Snake god. You cannot use the Rule Book without us.”

“!”

Atropos looked worried as she gazed into Lee Gun’s future. “As you probably know, there are those gunning for the Creators.”

She was referring to the ones who Aslan had been worried about. They had revealed the location of Lee Gun’s mother to the gods and gotten her killed. Their actions had driven the angered Aslan into madness.

‘They used the ingenious move of bringing Aslan’s older brother to their side and precipitated the downfall of the Creators.’

As for why they did it, the answer was simple. They wanted to collect the Creators. However, they were wicked beings who refused to dirty their own hands.

“Who was it?”

“There are two.”

“Two?”

“One is an evil god. The other one is the Norn’s goddess of fate.”

The evil gods were understandable, but the other group was Valhalla. Valkyrie, whom Lee Gun had met earlier, had belonged to them.

While Olympus’s goddesses of fate also wanted the Creators, their reasoning was different from that of Valhalla.

Atropos’s eyes twinkled. This might be a great opportunity to hit them. “As you stand now, you cannot handle the Great Spirits.”

These goddesses of fate had a deep relationship with the Great Spirits, where they scratched each other’s backs.

Atropos politely lowered her head as she said to Lee Gun, “However, I am the goddess of the future. I might be impertinent in saying this, but I got a small glimpse of your future.”

“You saw Gun’s future?” Was Gun able to marry? Did he have any kids? With those questions in mind, Hugo looked at her.

However, Atropos said something unexpected, “Unfortunately, your thread of fate is very short. Moreover, there is no inheritance, transfer, or rebirth in your future.”

Virgo and Sagittarius flinched. Of course, they realized what those words meant.

‘This is simply the problem of him dying or not.’

Gods rarely died. Even if they did, their powers were inherited or transferred.

‘It is something that happens if one’s existence itself disappears.’

However, Hugo clicked his tongue.

“I wouldn’t bank on that. Any prophecy involving Gun never came true…”

A serious expression appeared on Sagittarius’s face when he felt Hugo’s gaze.

He also possessed prophetic powers, but the goddess was talking about something completely different. She had seen the end of Lee Gun’s fate.

Sagittarius possessed prophetic abilities similar to Lachesis (Present). He could see the crossroads, so the future differed depending on the choices one made. It was completely different from Future, who saw the end.

‘What she said is pretty much a death sentence.’

He also had no idea why such a future would come to pass.

Hugo snorted when he saw the look in Sagittarius’s eyes. “Have any of your prophecies ever come true regarding Gun?”

“A prophecy given by a goddess of fate is different from what I can do!” Sagittarius was about to say something else, but Future interrupted him.

“Do not worry about it. You plan on stealing the Rule Book, right? If you join hands with me, we can steal the Rule Book. Then I can help you escape your horrible fate.”

She inwardly smirked. Her words about helping him escape his fate were a bald-faced lie.

‘A Creator will be eventually caught and killed by the evil gods.’

In the past, the Evil gods had killed the Creators. They were hunters who were still obsessed with the Creators.

‘They are probably the reason he has no future!’

The goddess didn’t want to get involved with the evil gods, so she had a thought.

‘Allying with him pains me, but it’s a different story since he is a Creator. He’s worth allying with. I’ll just get rid of him afterward.’

Hugo and the Zodiacs thought this was a reasonable path.

‘If we use them, we can use the Akashic Records and the book of fate. The unofficial Rule Book can be used too.’

Lee Gun, who had taken the notebook, looked conflicted as well. His eyebrows rose. “I have a question before I do anything.”

“Yes. Please ask.”

“The dimension containing the earth is my territory. My Constructs told me some goddesses were trying to swindle the earth. They were trying to take tributes. Are you those goddesses?”

“N-No way. It is probably the Norns.”

“Ah! Were they also why Hercules got involved?”

Atropos politely clasped her hands and bowed. “Ah! I apologize for that. Hercules is the fighting-type god for Olympus. We couldn’t let him get hurt. We’ll make sure it never happens…”

At that moment, Atropos was watching Lee Gun. Lee Gun was smirking. His expression made it unclear as to whether he was an evil god or not.

‘…!’

Lee Gun took up his enormous ax!!

Shweek!

The ax that the goddess had never seen before fell toward her head.

* * *

‘In the not too distant future, the god called Lee Gun and humans won’t exist.’

Hugo was oddly worried about Future’s words. She might have been telling a lie to get out of her situation, but the information that she saw was the truth. Of course, Lee Gun was the type of person to smash any predetermined fate. So Hugo shouldn’t be worried, but…

“Ahhk! The tax suddenly went up!”

“Ahhk!! Males are forbidden from entering this road!?”

“Ahhk! I have to pay 100 million Talents each time I want to use my weapon??”

“Shit! Who is responsible for this?”

Hugo groaned as he listened to the shouts emanating from all directions. In the end, he yelled at Lee Gun, who was busy writing in the notebook. “Hey! Stop it!”

Yes, Lee Gun was changing the rules of the Divine world, causing chaos.

Lee Gun grumbled as he worked his carving knife against the notebook. “Damn it! The letters used by the gods are so curly and crooked. Fixing them is hard!”

“Cut it out!”

Lee Gun had never planned on sparing the goddesses of fate. He had instantly turned Future into a corpse, taken her Divine status, and used it on the Rule Book.

Of course, a proper Scribe Pen was needed to edit the book, but Lee Gun didn’t think that fixing the letters would be hard. So he had decided to do it himself.

The simple Rule Book was a thick notebook made out of wooden pages. This was why he used his engraving knife to scratch and edit the engraved letters.

This made Sagittarius dismayed.

‘My god! He can fix it without a Scribe Pen.’

The technique needed to fix the already engraved letters was extraordinary, but the Divine power wouldn’t activate if the penmanship differed from the original engraving. That meant…

‘He can copy the penmanship too? It must be identical.’

Moreover, he was doing it by using a single carving knife.

‘Crazy bastard!’

A rumor had it that the Rule Book had been manufactured by a Creator. That might be why Lee Gun was able to make edits to it.

Since Sagittarius was also a Creator, he had abilities related to Creation. However, his abilities were peerless.

At that moment, Lee Gun was expressing his anger as he turned the pages of the notebook. He was having a hard time deciphering the unique language of the gods. So he was making changes to each rule.

“Damn it! Where is the rule that’ll let me go back home? I’m sure it’s here! This one was a dud!”

“Stop it! If you keep changing the rules of the Divine world, you’ll get on the bad side of the Divine world again! You’ll go into debt!”

“What else can I do? I killed all the goddesses, so I have no one who’ll use it instead of me.”

“Then you should have spared them!”

“No!”

“Stop it. You’re working in vain. Give it to an expert.”

“There are no experts! Only the ones who can activate this can see the letters! You guys already have your own Divine status, so you can’t use the ability of others!”

“Of course, we have them! We just have to leave it to the goddesses of fate!”

“We killed them all! I thought you killed Past and Present!”

Hugo proudly waved his hand. “I didn’t kill them. I just turned them into my subordinates.”

When Hugo gestured with his hand, two goddesses appeared from his shadow.

Lee Gun’s face was a sight to behold when he saw the goddesses. It was to be expected since Lachesis (Present) and Klotho (Past) had taken the appearance of Lee Gun! However, they were women! Moreover, they were beautiful women!

“???” Lee Gun looked puzzled. “What the hell are these hybrids? Why do they look like this? What did you do to them?”

Hugo flinched. Biting his tongue, he turned his gaze away. “Uh… I have no idea. They transformed on their own.”

“They did it on their own?”

At that moment, Lime’s eyes twinkled as it perched on top of Lee Gun’s head.

[Hugo Otis has advanced to Hugo-rodite]

[Hugo-rodite used his power of beauty to change the two goddesses into ally dolls.]

Both Lee Gun and Hugo heard the voice. Hugo screamed since he had been hiding his power.

Lee Gun smirked as he looked at Hugo. “It seems you ate the Divine status. Why the hell would you eat that one instead of the good ones…”

“Damn it! It’s all your fault! Whatever! Just take this Divine status out of me!”

Lime was overjoyed as it looked at the pretty Lee Gun.

[Clump of Creation Clay says it is a very good ability.]

[Clump of Creation Clay says you should let it be.]

Hugo became angry. He grabbed the slime as if he wanted to pop it. “Bastard! You purposefully fed me this one!?”

Lee Gun burst out laughing. He had never expected the Divine status of the god of war Ares would be discarded for this one.

“What can Hugo-rodite do? You’re a god of love who shoots arrows now. Are you the cupid of love?”

“Fuck!!”

“I thought Ares’s Divine status was right for you, but this might be more useful.”

“Take it out!!”

Lee Gun ignored him as he closed the notebook. “Whatever! I have to confirm something before I leave the Divine world.”

“Confirm what?”

“I think Valhalla and Ennead were involved in Junwoo’s death.”

“What?!”

Lee Gun’s eyes flashed. It seemed he was trying to fix anything related to the Rule Book.

[A god of the underworld can view all the underworld’s registry.]

Lee Gun had Hades’s Divine status, so he was trying to find Junwoo’s soul. “While I was looking for you, I was checking if Junwoo’s soul was in this place. The underworld is the place in charge of human souls. I can’t let Yeonwoo be by herself.”

It would be a lie to say Lee Gun didn’t feel guilty whenever he saw Yeonwoo. It was guilt that he had been unable to save Junwoo.

As if he accepted that reasoning, Hugo said, “Is that why you guys aren’t sharing a room?”

“W-What the hell did you just say?”

“It’s fine. Hurry up and wash that guilt away so that you guys can share a room. I just want to see my niece or nephew.”

“Hey!”

At that moment, Osiris had been listening to Lee Gun’s words. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

‘I never expected the goddesses of fate to have used the Akashic Records.’

Things had turned very troublesome because of the goddesses.

‘If the snake god realizes what happened that time, it’ll get messy.’

In the end, Osiris quickly exited the place. He had to inform the Great Spirit of this.

‘When is the fighting-type god coming to get rid of that bastard?’

Osiris had been barely able to keep Lee Gun bogged down in the Divine world. Things would get troublesome if Lee Gun managed to go to the earth.

When Osiris came outside, someone appeared in front of him.

“!”

He was a war god who looked like a young human. “Because of the goddesses of fate, the snake god found out something about Ennead? ”

The man looked annoyed, but Osiris was glad to see him. “Oh, great fighting-type god of Ennead, Set! You must have felt the danger we are in. I’m glad you’re here. I was given orders to prevent the snake god from going to the earth. Let’s carry the plan out together.”

Set laughed as he tapped Osiris. “Don’t worry! The Great Spirit already realizes what has transpired.”

“Alright. Then I should—”

Poo-hahk!!

“Kuhk!”

Set stabbed Osiris’s heart.

“Huh-uhk…!!”

Osiris inquiringly looked at Set, but Set merely laughed. “Die, traitor.”

“!”

“Osiris’s power should be taken as an inheritance, and I have to take care of the snake god. Then I have to send him back to the earth. These are the orders given to me by the Great Spirit of Ennead.”

Bastards! Osiris became angry.
