The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Lee Gun struck the dining table and glared at Mimir.

Mimir started to sweat.

“Mimir?”

Hugo was also taken aback by his reaction. With a serious expression, he looked at Mimir. “Can it be… Gun’s memories are…”

At that moment…

“Byaaaaaa!!!”

“!”

Crunch!

Lee Gun’s eyes were filled with anger. Since he was unable to talk, he had destroyed the dining table.

It was as if he was trying to interfere with their conversation. Or maybe he was really hungry and wanted them to give him the baby bottle instead of them talking. Or maybe he was trying to stop Hugo from asking about his memories.

Anyway, Baby Lee Gun’s actions looked a bit urgent.

Hugo still had a serious expression as he grabbed Mimir’s shoulders. The question about Lee Gun’s memory was really important. It was extremely important to him.

“Mimir? Does Gun have his memory?”

For some reason, one could feel madness(?) from his gaze.

Mimir was sweating. “T…That is…”

“So?”

Instead of answering, Mimir discreetly glanced at Lee Gun. He was met with Lee Gun’s flashing eyes. However, Mimir didn’t back down.

‘I should tell at least one person….’

Lee Gun’s constricted pupils turned menacing.

Seeing this, a flustered Mimir picked up the fallen baby bottle. He quickly gave it to Lee Gun as he spoke. “H…He has no memories.”

“Is that so?”

After receiving the baby bottle, Lee Gun held it with his small hands and drank the formula.

Keeping an eye on Lee Gun, Mimir continued, “As I’ve said before, his body turned into the body of Universe. It changed a lot, and his Divine status went away.”

“If his Divine status is gone…”

“The Creator’s Divine status of Creation (Manufacturing) is gone now.”

“!”

Lee Gun’s power had been sent to a strange place when he inherited the power of Universe. Aslan’s Rewind Time had temporarily brought back Lee Gun’s Divine status, but after the process of inheritance, Lee Gun had reverted to a state where the Divine status was separated from him.

The power of Universe was that strong.

“The memory data supposed to be left inside the Divine status is gone, and there is no way to bring it back. He lost all his memories when he went through inheritance.”

“I see. What about the power of Universe?”

“Since he gave up on the throne, he cannot use that power. M…Maybe?”

Hugo immediately let out a sigh of relief. If Lee Gun possessed such power, the earth would be destroyed! They were much better off without it!

As for the missing Divine status, he could order the Constructs to locate it. Of course, Hugo didn’t really care if the Divine status stayed missing!

He wanted Gun to be kind and innocent in this life. He wanted Gun to grow up as a normal child who looked up to his father!

“That means Gun’s body will have no ill effects?”

“Y…Yes. Instead, the fact that his body is so strong might be a problem…”

“Strong…?”

“Don’t worry about it. You have seen it for the past six months. His body may not be human, but he doesn’t have his Divine status. He no longer has enough power to destroy the earth like before.”

While he hadn’t destroyed the earth, Lee Gun had already destroyed Hugo’s rooms, safe, ceiling, and floor!

“B-but his destruction is limited to this house.”

The problem was that Hugo was losing an astronomical amount of money in repairing his house!

“T…That might be true…. Aside from that, he’s a normal child who can’t use any abilities. Maybe.”

If he were able to use his abilities, his mere presence would be a calamity! He would be someone who shouldn’t reside on the earth!!

“Hmmph. The problem is his incredible strength, but… the Zodiac Saints would be able to keep him in check. Maybe.”

Hug was bothered by the “maybe” that kept popping up at the end of each statement. Still, he let out a sigh of relief. “I’m fine with that. I’m glad that Gun doesn’t have his memories. I prefer it.”

“What? You prefer it?”

Hugo looked at Lee Gun and smiled ear to ear. He laughed heartily. “If he has his memories, I won’t be able to see this cute version of him. Also, I will make sure that he’ll become a daddy’s boy in this life.”

His original plan was to turn Lee Gun’s children into fanatics of Hugo. He planned on getting his revenge that way. However, he now planned on making Lee Gun into a fanboy of his own. This route would bring more pleasure to him!!

“Do you understand now, Gun? From now on, I’m your step-father…”

Was it his words? Or was Lee Gun turned off by Hugo’s expression?

Lee Gun, who had been sucking on the baby bottle, looked oddly disgruntled. His expression changed.

“My son— Ahhhhk!!!” Hugo screamed when he was electrocuted by a strange(?) power.

“Wait a moment. What the hell is this…!! You said he won’t be able to use his abilities!!!!”

Mimir bit his tongue at the sight. He spoke as if he had forgotten to mention it. “Yes. That’s not an ability. When the power was being transferred, it created a rebound. I forgot to mention that you’ll have to be careful until that rebound dissipates. Since it’s a rebound, the power shouldn’t be too strong.

“Still, it would cause great pain to even a monarch if they touched it. Mmm. It should feel like you’re having a severe cramp in your leg?”

“What the hell?! Tell me that sooner! You’re a Daddy’s boy, right, Gun— Ahhk!!!”

Lee Gun sent an electric attack every time Hugo spoke.

Hugo screamed. “Ahhhk! Cramp! I really got a cramp in my legs!”

“That’s… That’s what happens when your muscles seize up… It won’t cause any permanent harm. Just endure it. If you keep getting hit by it, it hurts. However, your muscles feel relaxed afterward.”

“What the hell did you just say?! Ahhk!” Hugo couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off. “He really doesn’t have his memories?!”

“T…That’s right.”

“Then why is he acting like this?”

Mimir gauged Lee Gun’s reaction, then said, “That’s… He doesn’t have his memories since he went through the process of inheritance, but it’s the same body…. What if his body remembers?”

“What the hell!?”

That must be it! Wait a moment. Wouldn’t it be a problem even if that was the case?!

* * *

Hugo’s body was aching all over. He groaned as he lay down. Mimir had told him to be careful until the rebound disappeared from Lee Gun’s body.

Hugo had to ask a question just to make sure. “Are you sure he doesn’t have a special power?! He’s just a kid with enormous strength?!”

“Y-Yes. I don’t think Master inherited the power of Universe. Just endure it for a little longer. Don’t worry. M-Master is a normal child…” Mimir had monitored Lee Gun while answering Hugo.

Hugo groaned as he acknowledged Mimir’s words. It was as Mimir had said. His knotted muscles relaxed. It felt like the difficulties one felt the day after getting an extremely powerful massage.

“Damn it… I haven’t been exercising recently because I have to take care of Gun…”

At that moment, Sagittarius entered the small room.

‘Whew! Finally, no one is here.’

Sagittarius had secretly visited Lee Gun, who was taking a nap. Baby Lee Gun was sleeping soundly on top of a thick blanket.

‘I should have come in secret from the start.’

Sagittarius was relentless when it came to dispelling the curse placed on him. This was why he had come looking for Lee Gun. He assumed Lee Gun was the only one capable of releasing him from the curse.

‘He might not have his memories and Divine Status, but it doesn’t change the fact that he is Gun.’

Sagittarius had failed last time because of Lee Jaewon, but this attempt would be different.

‘Jaewon isn’t here today. He went to ask for permission so that Hailey and Gun can meet each other.’

It was why Sagittarius had come looking for Lee Gun.

In front of Lee Gun, Sagittarius took out an item. It was the hair growth solution that Lee Gun had made before his death. No, it was the item of Life.

‘It was supposed to become useless after Gun’s death.’

However, the story changed once Lee Gun had returned from death. As soon as Lee Gun appeared on the earth, all his holy items had regained their original forms.

‘The only problem is that they won’t activate.’

Was it because their connection to Lee Gun’s soul was severed when he went through inheritance? For example, it was like buying a new TV and needing to plug in the TV.

On the other hand, Sagittarius had witnessed something.

‘They were revived.’

As soon as Lee Gun’s chubby hands had touched Hugo’s bow and the weapons of the Chun siblings, they had started to work once again! It probably had to do with the fact that the weapons had touched Lee Gun’s soul.

‘It means the hair loss solution will activate once again if he touches it.’

Sagittarius would be able to recover his deficiencies with this item. He’d escape suspicion from others with this!

‘Of course, it’ll be for nothing if Gun possesses his memories.’

There was no way the mighty Lee Gun would stand by and let him live the good life! Therefore, this was his golden chance as Lee Gun didn’t have his memories right now! He would also take the opportunity to pluck out some of Gun’s hair and make other items with it!

Sagittarius was about to put the item in Lee Gun’s hand when…

“Baldie!”

“!?”

Sagittarius suddenly shook in surprise when he heard the sudden voice. His reaction was understandable since “Baldie” was a nickname coined by Lee Gun.

He turned his head in surprise, but he soon let out a sigh of relief. “What the hell? It was the TV….”

He quickly tried to activate the item using Lee Gun’s power.

“Hey, Baldie.”

“!!”

Sagittarius felt his heart fall into his stomach when he turned to look at where the sound had originated. The one to make the noise was none other than Lee Gun!

Sagittarius had thought Lee Gun was asleep, but Lee Gun was staring at him with his round black eyes.

“D-Did you just talk to me?” Sagittarius’ face trembled as he looked at Lee Gun. His black eyes were like glass that looked deeper than space. For some reason, it was much harder to see what he was thinking on that day.

“Hey, Baldie! Baldie!”

“!”

Something fluttered as it popped out from Lee Gun’s side. It was a Construct shaped like a parrot.

“Baldie!”

When he witnessed the parrot speak, Sagittarius clutched at his surprised heart. “What the hell? It was the Construct that had been speaking right now— Wait a moment!!!”

Where the hell did the Construct come out from?! Flustered, Sagittarius looked at his surroundings.

‘I didn’t feel its presence.’

The probability of a normal child like Gun summoning a Construct was nonexistent. He had heard from others that Lee Gun didn’t possess any power.

‘Did Hugo assign it to him in secret?’

It was a Construct that Sagittarius had never seen before, so that was possible.

In the end, he told them to not surprise a god. Then he reached out to place the item in Lee Gun’s hand.

Kwah-jeek!

“?!”

Lee Gun grabbed Sagittarius’ fingers, and Sagittarius felt like he would break them.

“G…Gun?”

The parrot spoke. “Hey, baldie.”

Sagittarius snorted as he started to sweat. “Hmmph. I won’t be fooled again. The parrot is speak—”

“You want to die?”

“?!!”

The parrot laughed as it spoke in Lee Gun’s speech pattern. That wasn’t all.

As the parrot spoke, Lee Gun looked at Sagittarius. There was an odd smirk on the baby’s lips.

Sagittarius felt faint when he saw this. Was it a coincidence? It had to be a coincidence, right????!

Sagittarius was shaking. In front of him were the parrot and Lee Gun. He had no idea who was speaking to him at that moment.

‘Is the parrot supposed to be his Construct?’

The parrot spoke too similarly to Lee Gun for that to be true! Then there was that odd smirk on the child’s face!

Sagittarius felt his heart drop into his stomach.

‘Can it be?’

Lee Gun has his memories?! He also had them?

‘That’s right. I have my memories. There is no reason why that shouldn\'t be true of that child.’

Sagittarius looked stricken with fear as he looked at Lee Gun. He gulped as he watched the baby Lee Gun stare at him. “Do you really have—”

“Byaa? Byaa!!”

“!”

The baby laughed when he saw the bird fly outside.

Sagittarius flopped backward.

‘Y…Yes. There is no way that’s true.’

The god almost felt embarrassed to have been suspicious of Lee Gun. He watched as Lee Gun played with his rattle.

‘If he had his memories, he would have already caused mayhem.’

It was the mighty Lee Gun. His rough and violent personality would have been revealed a long time ago. He would have shown signs.

‘His personality wouldn’t allow him to suck on a baby bottle and be loved by everyone.’

Sagittarius found it very hard to be treated like a kid when he possessed his memories. Moreover, the Zodiac Saints had clashed against each other as they debated whether he was the real Lee Gun.

Lee Gun’s personality would have made him discipline the Zodiac Saints on the spot.

‘Yes. It’s a coincidence. There is no way….’

At that moment…

“You have your memories, right?”

“Ahhhhhk!!!!”

Sagittarius screamed when he heard a voice once again. “As expected, you…!”

A surprised Sagittarius clutched his heart, then turned his gaze to see Lee Gun. He couldn’t believe what he saw.

“You have your memories, right?”

“…!”

The one to speak wasn’t Lee Gun. It wasn’t the parrot either.

“You have your memories, right?” You have your memories, right? You have your memories, right?”

The voice came from the tablet PC in Lee Gun’s hands. Surprisingly, Lee Gun had used the device to play a clip from a movie.

Sagittarius grabbed the back of his neck. “You surprised me… Wait a minute. A baby can use electronics!!”

“You have your memories, right?”

“Ahhk!!”

Lee Gun had opened YouTube, and the app had saved short clips with famous lines from movies. Lee Gun was replaying one of the clips on a loop.

It seemed the videos were all something Hugo had saved. It was done for Lee Gun’s education. No, it was done for his brainwashing(?).

Sagittarius took a peek. He could see the clips of Hugo, which Hugo had worked hard to compile.

Clearly, Hugo was brainwashing(?) Lee Gun by making him watch the clips daily.

“What the hell is he doing to a kid… Whatever! It seems I was mistaken. That’s great…”

“You have your memories, right? You have your memories, right? You have your memories, right? You have your memories, right? You have your memories, right? You have your memories, right? You have your memories, right? You have your memories, right?”

“Ahhhk!!!!!!”

Lee Gun played the clip on an infinite loop, giving Sagittarius a mental breakdown.

Sagittarius wanted to check his sanity by looking at Lee Gun, and he witnessed Lee Gun pressing the replay button repeatedly as he watched him.

Was it a coincidence? It looked as if Lee Gun was enjoying Sagittarius’ reaction!

‘Damn it…!!! Why the hell would Hugo let a kid watch that?’

Sagittarius cursed at the timing of that line. Why did it have to be that clip of all things?

‘Is it a coincidence?’

Sagittarius’s face froze. How could there be a clip with a line perfect for this situation? He had no choice but to think that Lee Gun had used some unknown power to create the video.

However, he had been told that Lee Gun had no power. Moreover, which Divine ability was capable of pulling such a thing off? Was it the power of Universe?

‘Damn it! What is it? Does he have his memories or not?\'

Was Lee Gun purposefully tormenting and making fun of him?

‘Is he using the electronic on purpose because he can’t speak?’

Sagittarius’s eyes shook as he monitored Lee Gun. However, he soon shook his head from side to side.

‘No…!!! There is no way!’

If Lee Gun had his memories, he wouldn’t pretend to be a baby in such a well-behaved manner!!!

“Yes. It can’t be Gun from before—”

Suddenly…

“You want to die?”

“?!”

Lee Gun played a different clip. The timing was so impeccable that it was hard to call it a coincidence!!

Sagittarius clutched at his head. “Which is the truth….”

“Byaa!”

“Yes! There is no way that’s Gun!”

“You want to die? You want to die? You want to die? You want to die? You want to die? You want to die? You want to die? You want to die? You want to die? You want to die?”

“Ahhhhhhhhk!!”

Sagittarius fainted in front of a laughing Lee Gun.
