The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero-Chapter 414 - What happened? (4)

Chapter 414 - What happened? (4)

Valhalla.

“In the end, you sent Sagittarius toward Eternal Change?”

The gods of Valhalla found their Great Spirit’s decision odd.

“Sagittarius is Eternal Change’s Zodiac. Even if his life is on the line, he probably has a lingering affection for his Zodiac Saint. Will it be possible for him to get rid of Eternal Change?”

Eternal Change was a troublemaker who had made a mess of the Divine world. Moreover, he was a first-generation monarch. His power was on par with that of the Great Spirits.

‘That’s why it will be for the best if he’s eliminated.’

This was why Valhalla had gone out of its way to win the auction of Pushover. Someone of that caliber being a Construct of the snake god meant that getting rid of him was much more important.

‘If the snake god’s standing grows any further, the original Constructs of the Serpent Bearer temple will cause a commotion.’

‘I’ll have to return his land.’

Valhalla’s Great Spirit had gone through a lot to take the Serpent Bearer’s land, Constructs, and all kinds of treasures.

“Sagittarius is skilled enough to be ranked within the top thirty in the Divine world. Still, what if his emotions toward Eternal Change prevent him from killing…”

[It doesn’t matter if he fails.]

“What?”

The Great Spirit of Valhalla laughed as if that was why he had sent Sagittarius there.

[Sagittarius will probably be killed by Eternal Change.]

“What?!”

They wanted to ask how he knew this, but the gods soon fell silent, realizing it was meaningless to ask such a question to the Great Spirit of Valhalla.

‘He must have seen the fate of the gods.’

Valhalla’s Great Spirit could see the moment right before a god’s death.

[Sagittarius picked Eternal Change as his Zodiac because he had Karmic debt amassed from the past.]

“!”

That wasn’t all.

[Moreover, his death at the hands of Eternal Change is part of his Karmic debt.]

It meant Valhalla’s Great Spirit had sent Sagittarius to Eternal Change to kill him.

At this point, the gods were confused.

“Isn't Sagittarius a very useful god? Why would you try to get him killed?”

“With your power, it wouldn’t be easy to use Sagittarius.”

“To face off against the snake god, wouldn’t it be better if…”

[No. If he stays alive, it’ll put us in an awkward position.]

“What?”

Instead of giving an answer, Valhalla’s Great Spirit thought about the past.

Sagittarius’s past form had been Galan. Galan was the older son of the being considered the chief of the Creators. Of course, Galan had been severely lacking in ability compared to his younger brother Aslan, who was a genius.

This had triggered Galan’s jealousy, and he eventually usurped the seats occupied by his tribe members.

Of course, Galan and his group were also usurped by their Constructs later on, but as expected of someone born to a Creator, Galan was able to be reborn when his Construct ate him. He was able to suppress the mind of the Construct.

Moreover, recently, he had started regaining memories of Galan.

‘It’ll be a problem if he recovers more memories.’

This was to be expected, since Galan was the one who had informed the Great Spirits about the weakness of the Creators.

Moreover, Galan had originally been loyal to the Creators and had loved his younger brother. It was the Great Spirit of Ennead, who had breathed jealousy into Galan’s heart.

Therefore, Sagittarius regaining more of his memories would put them in an awkward position. If he regained his memories, he would realize that the Great Spirits had manipulated him from the shadows. Furthermore, he would realize the weakness of the Great Spirits.

‘The Creators are all pain in the asses.’

The Great Spirits hated the Creator tribe.

At that moment…

“Oh, Lord of Heaven?”

“Does this have anything to do with what happened to the Creators?”

“Hmmph. The Creators were always troublemakers. I heard the young Creator put the Primordial god through the process of inheritance.”

It didn’t matter what form he took. The gods couldn’t go against the Primordial god. They didn’t even dare think about turning him into a Construct.

The Great Spirit of Valhalla laughed.

[Originally, Eternal Change and Sagittarius were fated to die at the hands of Time.]

However, the one to change their fate was none other than Lee Gun. This was why it was best not to get directly involved with Lee Gun.

“If Sagittarius tries to kill Eternal Change, Eternal Change will try to kill Sagittarius.”

With the power given to him by Valhalla’s Great Spirit, Sagittarius would cause great harm to Eternal Change. But he could also die in the process.

[Yes. I just have to make them fight for now.]

It didn’t matter which side won. He would benefit nonetheless.

* * *

“Damn it! You are a terrible nephew!! You won’t even allow me to fight him! How can you call yourself my nephew?”

“Fuck off! You are a murderer who killed your own tribe.”

“…!!!?”

Shocked, Sagittarius became unsteady on his feet. He had never expected to hear such words from Lee Gun.

However, although he had suffered emotional damage, he still had work to do. So he approached Lee Gun. “I’ll pretend I didn't hear what you just said. Also, you should hand back the wish ticket right now.”

“Really? Are you going to steal back the present you gave me?”

“I’m not trying to steal it from you! Do you really think a wish ticket is like a voucher that can be traded in for a massage? That represents the promise of a god! As soon as it is used, it’s entered into a contract. It’s an absolute right of order…! No, it’s nothing.

“Anyway, you can use it for something much better. In the meantime, Uncle will store it for you!”

“Fuck off! I’ll use it right now.”

“Hmmph. If you insist on acting this way, I won’t stand back—”

Sagittarius suddenly screamed.

A long-haired child was slowly climbing up Lee Gun’s shoulder.

“Ahhk!! Primordial god!!!”

Sagittarius immediately recognized the child. He stumbled backward, then hid behind a tree. “You! What the hell did you do to the Primordial god?”

Lee Gun pushed the kid to get him off. “What? His appearance changed, yet you recognize him?”

“His energy and power feel the same! Of course, all the gods will recognize him!!!” Sagittarius shook in fear. He didn’t even want to get close to the Primordial god. The Primordial god was such an existence to the gods.

Sagittarius didn’t even dare raise his head as he spoke to Lee Gun. “P-Primordial god… This is foul play. Let’s speak after you send him away— Ahhhk!!”

Lee Gun grabbed the child and pushed him toward Sagittarius. Sagittarius was apoplectic as he hid further.

Lee Gun laughed as if he had found something great. “For some odd reason, the gods don’t approach me if I have him with me. Not even my Constructs try to get close to me.”

“He isn’t someone that you can grab and look at all willy-nilly! You’re the weird one!!”f𝘳𝒆ℯ𝑤𝚎𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷el. c𝗼m

The Primordial god was an absolute existence, and all gods were afraid of him. No, the scarier thing right now was the status and affiliation of the Primordial god.

‘How dare he turn the Primordial god into his underling!’

To make matters worse, the Primordial god seemed to like Lee Gun. He was rubbing his face on Lee Gun.

This annoyed Lee Gun, who ordered him to change into his weapon form.

Sullen, the Primordial god changed his shape. Then an enormous hammer appeared in his lace.

Sagittarius didn’t even notice his legs lose strength as he collapsed. It was as if he couldn’t believe what he had just seen.

“Did you turn the Primordial god into a weapon?”

“Yes. I avoided killing him this way, and he became my underling.”

“…#*&$#**?!”

As if turning Hermes into an item wasn’t enough, he made the Primordial god into one?

“Well, this kid is too high in level, so he keeps changing into his humanoid form.”

Sagittarius massaged his forehead as if he felt faint. He acted like he had seen nothing as he walked out from behind the tree. “I… I saw nothing. Put away that hideous thing…”

Lee Gun slid the hammer toward him. “What did you just say?”

“Ahhhk!!”

When the energy got close to him, Sagittarius became scared again. He screamed as he once again hid behind the tree.

“What the hell? Who keeps squealing like a stuck pig?”

“!!”

Was it because of Sagittarius’s screams? Hugo appeared near the lake.

Sagittarius’s expression changed as soon as he exchanged looks with Hugo. Both of them took out their bows. It didn’t matter who was first.

Kwahng!!!

Sagittarius’s arrows, which were made of light, clashed against Hugo’s, which were made by Lee Gun.

Both of them were known as gods of accuracy for a reason.

Pahng!!!

The arrows flew toward each other’s heads and exploded. The tip of each arrow accurately met the other’s.

Sagittarius and Hugo immediately moved as they attacked each other once again.

Lee Gun merely scratched his belly as he watched them.

Kwahng!!!

The consecutive arrows they sent toward each other once again exploded as each of them collided tip-to-tip.

Hugo determined this would continue endlessly at this rate, so he was first to approach Sagittarius. Finally, he brought down his bow like an ax.

Kwahng!!

After blocking the bow with his bow, Sagittarius gnashed his teeth. “Hugo! You should be thankful to me for raising you, yet you’re trying to kill your Zodiac!”

“Raise me?! In fact, I’m the one who worked and maintained your lifestyle!!” Hugo created an arrow made out of magical energy and shot it.

Kwahng!!!

It was a shot from up close. An explosion erupted as Sagittarius ground his teeth.

While that arrow might be disguised as the power of the Serpent Bearer temple, it was the power of a monarch.

“Bastard… You regained your memories?”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“That’s why you’re trying to kill me!” Soon, Sagittarius’s eyes flashed as he was about to use his ability.

However, Lee Gun, who was feeling hungry, tore the wish ticket in half at this moment. It was a signal of the wish ticket being activated!

“Hey. I gotta go eat. Just don’t attack Taeksoo.”

When the powerful red light surged forth, Sagittarius screamed, realizing what Lee Gun had done. “Ahhk! I told you not to use it on such trivial matters!! Also, I might not be able to attack him, but there are many ways to kill him…”

“What are you talking about? My wish was something different.”

“What?”

[Serpent Bearer’s wish ticket has been activated with Sagittarius as the target.]

[Wish: Sagittarius must follow the Serpent Bearer’s orders no matter what they are. Absolute obedience.]

“…!?”

The terms of the wish were more comprehensive than he thought! However, Sagittarius soon scoffed. “You made a mistake. That wish ticket is single-use. You should have given a permanent order like I should never kill Hugo. A wish like that will wear off…”

“Ah! Don’t worry. I changed the wish ticket’s attribute from singe-use to half-permanent.”

“Change… What? Half-permanent? What do you mean?”

“The order that I gave isn’t single-use. It’s half-permanent.”

“… Ah ha. You are saying that the order for absolute obedience to the Serpent Bearer is forever… Forever…” Sagittarius let out a soundless scream.

‘I forgot that his other Divine name is Designer!!!’

Aslan’s other Divine name was the Divine Magician, and he had “Ability Creation.” On the other hand, Lee Gun possessed “Item Creation.”

It meant Lee Gun could freely change the ability, innate attributes, and outer appearance of weapons and items. He could do it as the Designer.

‘All items have a structure, and master craftsmen can fix or destroy it.’

In other words, Sagittarius’s wish ticket was considered an “item,” and Lee Gun had remodeled it. Of course, he needed to pay a price for doing such a thing.

When he saw Sagittarius’s expression, the final boss of this production smirked. “That’s why you should leave any items with me, idiot.”

“…!”

Sagittarius looked like he couldn’t accept it. “You might have paid a price, but that wish ticket was a 4-star item! You would have incurred Karmic debt if you changed the function of an item of such caliber. A normal permission ticket would be useless—”

“Ah. It doesn’t matter since I have this.” Instead of an explanation, Lee Gun shook the Primordial god hammer.

Sagittarius froze.

‘Primordial god?!’

The Primordial god was the king of the gods. One of his original abilities was to issue permission tickets (Exoneration).

Of course, when the Primordial god was gone, the Divine world system, which contained his residual power, had issued the permission tickets (Exoneration). However, the Primordial god was present now…

‘Did he acquire the Great-Spirit-rank permission tickets (Exoneration)?’

Or maybe he acquired something ranked higher. In the end, Sagittarius’s face turned pale.

Until now, Lee Gun had been unable to use his abilities freely despite possessing powerful abilities. It was because he was lacking permission tickets (Exoneration).

What if that problem was solved when he acquired the Primordial god…

‘If we aren’t careful, he might change all the items in the Divine world…’

At this point, Hugo looked at Sagittarius. While Sagittarius couldn't attack him, he could attack Sagittarius.

“Hey. Don’t do it. You can’t touch him either.”

“What? Are you going easy on him again… because he’s your uncle…”

“No? He’ll be taken care of, even if we don’t lay a finger on him.”

“What? How—”

A light emanated from Sagittarius’s neck, and two ravens emerged out of it.

[You failed in your mission.]

[Failed.]

Sagittarius became pale. “Wait…!”

The ravens let out a light as they encircled Sagittarius’s neck. A rope made out of light choked the god of the sun.

“Kuh-huhk! No! Don’t take me away!”

[You are going to be executed.]

[Executed.]

Sagittarius was dragged away by the ravens.

Hugo started to sweat. “Are you sure you should let that happen?”

“It is no problem. Right?” Lee Gun looked at the Primordial god and let out a meaningful smile.
