The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero-Chapter 364: Goddess of Fate (1)

Chapter 364 - Goddess of Fate (1)

Mahabharata was one of the eight great forces, which stood at the zenith of the tens of billions of gods.

If Olympus had their twelve pillar gods as officer-rank gods, Mahabharata had ten powerful incarnations, called Avatara.

While Leo didn’t have any drive, he was still one of their officer-rank gods.

Currently, those incarnations were focused on Sagittarius, whom Lee Gun was aiming for. The reason was obvious.

‘It’ll be a big problem if the snake god hands over Sagittarius!’

‘The one to put a bounty on Sagittarius was the Great Spirit of Ennead!’

He was the big elder who had taken the lands of the twelve Zodiacs in the past! Moreover, a famous story was spread around the Divine world, in which the Great Spirit of Ennead wanted to shred Sagittarius into pieces.

The reasons were simple. First, Sagittarius had scammed Ennead in the past and screwed him over. Second, he had stolen a precious treasure from the Great Spirit.

There was no way the Great Spirit would let things be when Sagittarius had become a human.

On the other hand, it wasn’t as if Mahabharata was doing this to save Sagittarius.

‘The Great Spirit of Ennead is a sun god, like Sagittarius. His powers will grow if he consumes Sagittarius.’

This meant Mahabharata was trying to stop a Great Spirit of a different faction from getting stronger.

In the process, we’ll recover the item Sagittarius stole from the Great Spirit of Ennead!

That was why the gods of Mahabharata, who had received an important order, screamed at that moment.

“Ahhk!! That bastard sold him to the goddesses of fate!”

“What the hell is he thinking?”

They froze, realizing something.

‘That snake god! He planned on negotiating with the goddesses of fate!’

The goddesses of fate were directly affiliated with the Divine world, and they held a Rule Book, which was considered the book of fate. That book could change the rules of the Divine world.

The Great Spirits had put great importance on this item, and it was something they wanted.

‘To put it bluntly, the Rule Book could wipe out one of the eight great forces.’

‘It can bring a lifetime of bad fortune to any of the great forces.’

Something like that had happened in the past.

‘If one possesses the goddesses of fate, one can stand at the zenith amongst the gods!’

Of course, the goddesses of fate were fickle and picky. They asked for a lot, so not anyone could make use of them.

“Ahhk!! It’s an entirely different story if that playboy is given as an offering! I’m sure the snake god is trying to trade Sagittarius for the Rule Book!!”

“What?! T-There is no way the goddesses will accept such a trade! He’s the one who destroyed their faction…”

“No! They don’t have strong ties to any of the factions!”

In other words, the goddesses of fate could do anything, and it wouldn’t be out of character!

Of course, no one had any idea what the snake god would ask of them.

‘If a Zodiac is looking for them, he must want to make them use their Rule Book!’

‘By sending Sagittarius, he bought an incredible amount of goodwill from them!’

At this point, their task of keeping Ennead in check and informing their Great Spirit wasn’t a priority.

‘We have to stop the snake god first.’

Overwhelmed by this thought, the gods of Mahabharata grabbed Hugo.

“Oh, reasonable-looking god! W-What do you plan on doing with the Rule Book?”

“Are you aiming for the seat of a Great Spirit?”

Great Spirit, my ass! However, Hugo had no obligation to tell them this. Instead, he looked at Lee Gun, dumbfounded. “You planned on doing this from the start?!”

Lee Gun let out a satisfied laugh.

* * *

After instantly disappearing, Sagittarius found himself in an unfamiliar palace. His face turned pale, since he could guess where this was.

‘This place is…!’

He was sure of it.

‘It’s the palace belonging to the goddesses of fate!’

It was a location that no god could locate, a place they all wanted to visit. However, this wasn’t the case with Sagittarius.

‘I have to run away!’

Despite being tied up, he quickly crawled across the ground. He tried to exit the palace.

Tahng!!!

“?!”

A bullet pierced the ground before Sagittarius. Having almost lost an ear, Sagittarius shook in fright as he turned his head.

“Welcome, my beloved Louis-nim! I missed you!”

“…!?!!”

A goddess who looked to be in her forties approached him, looking enraptured. She had a cigarette in her mouth.

[Divine status: The Three Goddesses of Fate / Lachesis (Present)]

She wasn’t like an elegant noblewoman. She looked more like someone who could be found on the battlefield shooting her guns. The goddess even had an eyepatch over one eye.

Sagittarius knew that she had lost that eye when she gambled with it as collateral.

In the end, Sagittarius greeted her with a smile frozen on his lips. “I…It has been a while. Where are your sisters? Why are you alone?”

Lachesis (Present) smiled. “Why are you looking for my sisters? Marriage is something you do one on one. Of course, I’ll be the one doing the good deed with Louis-nim.”

Sagittarius turned pale from fright.

Lachesis (Present) let out a harsh laugh as she continued, “If my sisters see you, they’ll take you away from me. That is why I’ll lay claim to you first by marrying you.”

When Lachesis took out the documents and seal, Sagittarius felt like dying.

The goddess ignored him as she let out a bright smile. “I thought the snake god was bad because he messed with Hercules. I guess he is a good boy. I never expected him to choose us instead of money.”

“#$*&#$*!”

Nephewwwww! Sagittarius felt like he was losing his mind. Why did he have to fall into their hands out of all the beings out there?

The three goddesses of fate were called the three Moirai sisters. Currently, they worked directly under the Divine world, but in the past, Sagittarius had been in the same faction as them. This was why he knew them well.

‘They are psychos!’

A lot of male gods had approached these goddesses and come back out as corpses!

Thankfully, only one out of three was here right now.

‘I can somehow run away if there is only one.’

According to her words, it seemed she wasn’t going to call her sisters. However…

“Hey, you want to die?”

“How dare you try to take Louis-nim for yourself?”

“Ahhhk!”

The other sisters appeared before he could set his mind at ease.

[Divine status: Klotho (Past)]

[Divine status: Atropos (Future)]

Klotho (Past) looked like a young child, while Atropos (Future) looked like an old woman.

Sagittarius tried to run away.

Tahng tahng tahng!

He ducked when the three sisters shot bullets at him and cried. Then, his eyes flashed.

‘Yes. My nephew concocted this plan.’

There was no way the mighty Lee Gun had sent him here without a plan!

‘He’s a psycho who sent a bomb to a monarch and one to a Great Spirit by attaching it to me.’

In truth, he felt some kind of object moving alongside his body.

‘I’m sure he attached a device to me.’

In this situation, Sagittarius could endure getting blown up. He didn’t mind what kind of bomb it was. There was no way his nephew had attached an item that could kill him.

‘No. He’ll save me even if I die!’

This was why Sagittarius said to the three sisters, who were fighting amongst themselves, “Alright. I’ll marry you guys. However, I want you to take my clothes off first.”

“What? You want us to take your clothes off?”

Sagittarius’s best weapon (?) was his face, so he put on his best expression. “The snake god sent an item with me. He said it was a wedding present. I want you guys to check it out.”

The goddesses of fate were suspicious, but soon, lecherous smiles appeared on their faces. They started pawing at his body.

“Do you mean this box? Is this the wedding present?”

Sagittarius had been about to cry when they finally found the device attached to his body. He laughed. “Yes! Open it!”

When the goddesses opened the box, a light exploded forth.

Sagittarius immediately moved out of harm's way. Then, something surprising happened.

Kwahng!!

Sagittarius smiled when he heard the sound accompanying the light. However, the explosion of light was accompanied by flower petals and paper.

「Sagittarius will be given to only the most beautiful and talented goddess..」

The eyes of the goddesses of fate flashed when they saw the message.

Sagittarius screamed.

‘Nephewwwwwww!!’

The goddesses fought each other as they held onto Sagittarius.

“Let go. Louis-nim is mine.”

“You let go.”

“How about we split him into three equal parts? I just need his face.”

“Uh? That’s not a bad idea. I just want his heart.”

“I want his lower body.”

“Alright. Let’s cut him.”

The captured Sagittarius let out a soundless scream. Klotho (Past) wanted his face, Lachesis (Present) wanted his heart, and Atropos (Future) tried to cut away his lower body.

Sagittarius became desperate.

‘Nephew! When are you going to arrive?’

This was being done by the mighty Lee Gun. Why would Lee Gun send him here?

‘He’s going to come here and break everything like usual!’

Sagittarius was sure Lee Gun would come. He was coming here. He had to come. “Why isn’t he coming?”

Sagittarius was close to being chopped up. He was about to scream when…

Kwahng!!

“!!”

The goddesses’ palace fell.

Sagittarius and the goddesses turned their heads in surprise.

“That direction is….”

They were wondering what was going on when…

“Ah! I finally found you.”

“…!!”

They were surprised to hear an unexpected voice.

“Virgo?”

“My younger sister!”

Sagittarius was close to crying when he saw his younger sister.

The silver-haired goddess was a battle-type Zodiac. Blood dripped down from her sword as she let out a cold smile. A pile of corpses was strewn behind her.

“I’m sorry, but I have no plans of having you guys as sisters-in-law.” Virgo smirked menacingly. “This is especially true since you guys betrayed the Serpent Bearer in the past.”

Taken aback, the goddesses of fate scoffed.

“What right do you have to get involved…”

“Ah! I forgot to tell you something. You guys are better off not marrying him.”

“What? What do you mean?”

“He has faulty goods.”

“…?!”

With a bright smile on her face, Virgo pointed between Sagittarius’s legs.

The shocked old-looking goddess quickly put her hand down Sagittarius’s pants.

* * *

Around that time…

“Gun, do you have no plan on going after the baldie?”

“Why would I?”

“Why else? He is your…”

His uncle was desperately looking for him, yet Lee Gun wasn’t going there. Lee Gun was currently searching the rooms occupied by the goddesses of fate.

“I threw him as bait. There is no point in doing that if I go after him.”

“Hey, what if they really marry him… What if they find out that he has a defective product?”

“It’s none of my business. I can say I handed him over without knowing about it.”

“….” Hugo decided to drop the subject and placed a hand on the wall. When he used his ability, something surprising happened.

Koo-goo-goohng!

It was a never-before-seen power, and it destroyed the wall. This power belonged to neither Sagittarius nor Lee Gun.

As the Pushover god of the Serpent Bearer temple, Hugo had acquired Divine status. This was Hugo’s original power.

When he destroyed the wall, a secret research lab was revealed. “What the hell is this…!”

Many lights were on display in the lab. At a glance, they all possessed powerful energy.

Lee Gun looked happy.

Hugo clicked his tongue. “I was wondering what you were looking for. Is this it? What are they?”

“What else? They are the juniors of male gods.”

“Ah. Junio— What?!!”

Lee Gun snorted. To be precise, these lights were the power of life that allowed one to have descendants.

It seemed the goddesses of fate used to have a deep connection with Hades, who was a god of the underworld.

Osiris, who was another god of the underworld, had fed Lee Gun information about the goddesses of fate.

‘Future likes to collect the precious essence of the male gods. Is she planning on making a new god?’

No one knew why the goddesses of fate collected them, but Lee Gun had heard the hushed conversation between Osiris and Anubis.

- As expected, Olympus is planning on reviving the Creators.

- Is that why they are gathering the power of life from male gods? They are trying to create new gods that are Creator rank?

Lee Gun’s eyes had flashed when he had heard the familiar name. However, it didn’t matter right now.

“Ah! I found it. This is yours, Taeksoo.”

“????!”

“I can send you home now.”

It seemed Lee Gun’s goal was to find this from the beginning. He pointed at the green light that was placed at the end of the display.

“That is…!”

“It’s your ability that Zeus took. It’s too dirty for me to touch, so you can go and take it for yourself.”

“Damn it! Really…”

“That’ll also increase your lifespan.”

“!”

Hugo was surprised by the unexpected words. He had been wondering why Lee Gun was obsessing over this! “You were looking for it to increase my lifespan?”

“No. I did it for your fourth child. It’s for my dream of becoming the owner of a team.”

“What does becoming an owner of a team have to do with my children?”

Hugo was taken aback, but he moved. He knew what had to be done.

When Hugo finally headed toward the light, Lee Gun was about to turn around, but…

“Lime?”

The slime jumped off Lee Gun’s shoulder and quickly dragged something toward him.

‘!’

Lee Gun was surprised when he saw it.
