The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Lee Gun tilted his head in puzzlement. He found it odd, since Abyss had no patience. Compared to the other Monarchs, it was more beastly. In truth, it wouldn’t have been odd if Abyss had decided to attack them.

At that moment, he heard a notification.

[Abyss says it will visit you in no time.]

[Abyss says it’ll spruce itself up before visiting at night.]

Lee Gun narrowed his eyes. It was to be expected.

‘It’s coming for a midnight snack.’

Lee Gun glared at the location where Abyss had disappeared. The fact that it had disappeared despite seeing the humans made something clear; it could be reasoned with.

‘If it wants a midnight snack, I’ll just make some ramen for it.’

It seemed his arm(?) could always be used as bait if he wanted to use Abyss.

A loud exploding sound rang out when Abyss went away.

Kwahng!!

The sound came from the light that had swallowed up the Great Spirit.

Koo-goo-goong!

Something surprising happened.

“Lee Gun-nim!”

From the light that had swallowed the Great Spirit, a giant that was burning like the sun emerged. It was a monster letting out golden light, which had the head of a bird. The giant let out a fierce roar as if it was about to snatch away Lee Gun.

[Fire Wheel Lord (Great Spirit of Ennead) has activated its Divine Achievement (Achievement) skill.]

[Divine Name: Sun Incarnate]

[Fire Wheel Lord has sent out its incarnate.]

It wanted to destroy the earth while taking Lee Gun away at all costs.

The giant was letting out fierce flames, and its sharp hand threatened Lee Gun.

Koo-goo-goong!

Lee Gun snorted. He brought out the power of Cycle. He had enough EXP to transition into the power of Cycle.

[Life EXP 100%]

[Death EXP 100%]

[The condition needed to transition into the Divine status of Cycle has been met.]

When he had helped in the birthing process that Chun Jiwoo underwent, he had filled the EXP of Life. For the Divine status of Death, the EXP came in when Kevin razed the Garden of Eden to the ground.

However, just when he was about to activate the enormous power…

[Where are you, my lovely Creator?]

Lee Gun flinched when he heard the voice.

Zzuh-uhng!

“…!”

Strength suddenly drained from his body. He had felt a similar sensation of his brain shaking last time. It had happened when he had returned home from the colony of Eden.

‘Yeonwoo said it was similar to the power that neutralizes the Creators…!’

His ability hadn’t come out, and that split second of hesitation was enough. In a flash, the Great Spirit’s incarnate appeared before him.

‘Bastard.’

Lee Gun ground his teeth. His eyes flashed as he raised Heaven’s Punishment. He couldn’t get rid of his foe without taking damages if he had only Heaven’s Punishment at his disposal.

Ptooey!

“!”

At that moment, Lime spat something out in front of Lee Gun.

Lee Gun’s eyes turned round when he saw what it was. “Ahhk!!! What the hell? Why are you here?”

What Slime had spat out was Secretary Guisoon!

As soon as Lee Gun had gone to the Divine world, Guisoon had put up a false SNS, saying that he had died.

Afterward, she had gone into hiding somewhere.

Lee Gun smirked when he saw her.

‘I wondered where she had run away.’

Having been suddenly dropped here, Guisoon screamed once again.

“Ahhhk!!! What the hell is that?” She screamed when she saw the fire giant in front of her. “Why is that monster here?”

At that moment, Lime quickly wrapped around Guisoon’s head. Then something surprising happened.

Flash!

It was as if slime was releasing her ability. The ability of a Secretary was forcefully activated.

[Modify Divine Achievement]

When the light exploded forth, the giant of golden flame flinched as it came to a stop, as if it was unable to move while the skill was active.

On the other hand, Guisoon was screaming, “Ahhk! I can’t see! I can’t see! Get off my head! Oohp!!”

Lime ignored her as it carried out its task.

[Delete Achievement]

This destroyed the stalled giant’s body.

Kwa-gwa-gwahng!

It was as if the body had turned into balls of light; they dispersed into the surroundings.

The angry voice of the Great Spirit of Ennead, who had sent the giant, rang out.

[Secretary? Those detestable dogs of the Creators still exist?]

“…?”

Lee Gun was wondering what the Great Spirit meant when one of the dispersing balls of light brushed him. At the same time, he saw something strange. It was probably one of the memories engraved in the giant’s soul.

- Listen, Creators.

- You have made an item that should have never been made.

It was a scene where the Great Spirits and the Zodiacs were lodging a complaint against the Creators.

- Bibles? Why did you make such a thing, and why did you give it to those that aren’t Zodiacs? Why give it to low-rank gods?

- With all due respect, a god has a short lifespan if it doesn’t have those that believe in them. The opposite is true if the god does have a lot of believers. Their power and lifespan may increase indefinitely. Since a lot of disciples follow the Great Spirits and Zodiacs, their lifespan and power are plentiful. This isn’t the case with the low-rank gods.

- What about it?

- They all went through an arduous road to become gods, and it would be a shame if they died in short order. That’s why we created the Bible to extend their lifespan.

- Lifespan?

- Yes. If they achieve something special, it will be recorded in the Bible. That power will grow on its own. It will expand their abilities and lifespan.

- It can expand their abilities and lifespan? Have you guys lost your minds? Only the Zodiacs are allowed to have power and a long lifespan!

- If they don’t want to die an early death, they can do as they’ve always done! They can pledge their loyalty to the Zodiacs as Constructs!

- You want mere servants to be able to stand on their own feet!?

It was the sight of the Creators having a big argument, and the scene came to a stop when the giant was eradicated using Delete Achievement.

The giant created using Divine Achievement (Achievement) disappeared, causing the Great Spirit to push its face out from the summoning circle leading to Duat.

‘!’

He looked enraged.

[Great Spirit of Ennead has increased his synchronization rate.]

[Synchronization Rate: 52%]

[Synchronization Rate: 53%]

The Great Spirit pushed out of the summoning circle, and it looked like he wanted to grab Guisoon.

However, the paralyzed Lee Gun’s abilities returned at that moment. He immediately infused the power of Cycle into his hand.

Kwah-jee-jeek!!

He put almost all the power he possessed into his hand. The power was condensed into a cube, and he threw it toward the Great Spirit.

The power of Cycle wouldn’t detonate on the earth. It would detonate within the summoning circle, mitigating the effects on the environment.

However, the Great Spirit dodged the power of Cycle.

“!”

Lee Gun quickly tried to make another one.

Kwah-jeek!!

Lime caught the power of Cycle like a baseball this time and threw it toward the Great Spirit.

Flash!!!

The power embedded itself inside the Great Spirit’s body, causing a powerful reaction.

Kwah-jee-jeek!!

The Great Spirit of Ennead didn’t want to be swept up by the power, so he tried to grab the compressed power. He didn’t want the compressed power to detonate, so he tried to compress it again.

However, it was too much power. He couldn’t do it while carrying out his attack, so he was sucked back into the summoning circle. However, it seemed he was as angry as he could be.

“!”

A strand of light extended out from the Great Spirit’s body and grabbed the slime. In a flash, Lime disappeared along with the Great Spirit into the summoning circle.

Boom!!

The summoning circle completely disappeared. It had all occurred in a blink of an eye, and the Great Spirit of Ennead was gone from the earth.

Guisoon, who had almost died, had slumped to the ground, alongside the other disciples. They looked at Lee Gun.

“A…Are you ok?”

“T…The slime was dragged away. Will it be fine?”

Lee Gun furrowed his brows. In strict terms, the slime wasn’t a living being. It was an item. He had fallen asleep while making it, so he had no idea which ingredients he had used, but it was his second creation.

“I don’t think it can be killed even if one tried, but…”

He hadn’t known what it was. This was why he had tried boiling it and cutting it. Slime had slapped back, but it never died no matter what he did. However, that wasn’t important right now.

“Hey, doggy. You were watching, right?” Lee Gun called forth his Construct inside his shadow.

Anubis, who had been inside the shadow, flinched.

[W-What are you talking about?]

“What else? Your Great Spirit didn’t mind killing Osiris, right?”

[That…that is…!]

“You will suffer the same fate, right?”

[….]

Lee Gun told the sweating Anubis to let go of his loyalty to his Great Spirit. “Do you know about the power that immobilizes the Creators?”

[!]

“Talk.”

Anubis was very hesitant before he spoke.

[The Creators were gods directly under the Primordial god, and they were outstanding gods. However, there was a group that even they couldn’t do anything against.]

“Who are they?”

[They are called the Evil Gods. They have a connection with the Cluders, and they are called the hunters of gods. At the same time, they hunt the Creators. They are fallen gods, who are enemies of the gods.]

“Then….”

[You probably were unable to move because of them.]

Was the source of the strange voice the Evil Gods? Lee Gun laughed as if he was amused.

* * *

Ennead…

Kwang!!

Lime had escaped from the hands of the Great Spirit and crossed over to Ennead. However, it was being chased.

Kwahng! Kwahng!

Assassins sent by Ennead’s Great Spirit were chasing after it.

The assassins looked like wolves, and the gods were abuzz when they saw them.

“Kyahhk! What the hell?”

“Aren’t they the underlings of the Fire Wheel Lord?”

“What are they chasing? Is it an enemy?”

“I don’t know if it deserves to be called an enemy….”

A clump of slime was groaning as it ran away. It was the Clump of Creation Clay, and despite its escape, it was swallowing various items from all around Ennead.

“Kyahhhk! That thing stole a gem!”

“It took meat from our house!”

After stealing enough items, Lime went to the elevator of the Divine world, which allowed it to move to a different region! It seemed to want to return to the earth.

Lime quickly tried to move toward a tall tower when…

Kwahng!!!!

The tower that the slime was heading toward was destroyed. Screams could be heard as enormous flames erupted.

At the same time, a cold voice rang out.

“You have nowhere to run.”

The gods were surprised.

“Fire Wheel Lord!”

“Oh, Fire Wheel Lord!”

A young god revealed himself. There were all kinds of wounds over his body, but it was clearly Ra, the Great Spirit of Ennead.

He had never inherited his power. He was one of the top gods who had existed since the Divine world was born.

Ra let out a cold smile as he looked at the slime. Of course, Ra was supposed to be trapped within Duat after being hit by the power of Cycle. However, he was able to chase after slime.

He had barely been able to suppress the power of Cycle. It was compressed within his body without being able to activate. Of course, this didn’t mean he hadn’t taken any damage.

‘That reprehensible bastard…’

The gods were shocked by the raggedy appearance of the Great Spirit.

“Why do you look like that, Fire Wheel Lord…!”

“Ah. I had to smash Duat to come out. I had a reason for doing so.”

“You smashed the underworld… Are you saying Duat is no more, and the Fire Wheel Lord is responsible for it?!”

“You destroyed your territory?!”

“Hmmph. I just have to remake it.”

“What?! Did the Creators make that place for you?”

“There is no one capable of remaking it!”

“Of course, there is.”

“What?”

The Great Spirit extended his hand in anger. At the same time, golden vines extended to violently bind the slime.

Kwahng!!

The vines slammed the slime against the wall. The gods screamed.

“Oh, Fire Wheel Lord…!!”

“What is that…!”

When the appearance of the bound slime changed, everyone was shocked.

“That’s…!”

The Great Spirit had an annoyed smile on his face. “You ran away pretty well in that lowly form.”

Lime had changed into a golden-haired man.

“Ah! It seems the old man is still going strong. If you have something good to eat, you should share.”

He was Lee Gun’s father and the previous Serpent Bearer—Aslan.
