Chapter 375 - These Punks (2)
However, things were different right now.
“Ahhhk!!”
“Stop it, you bastard!”
“Ahhk! You really are going to kill me! Don’t you know how to respect your elders?”
The gods of Kunlun were screaming.
Lee Gun had taken out the Divine weapon of Life, Heaven’s Punishment, and was ruthlessly cutting down the gods of Kunlun.
Poo-hahk! Poo-hahk!
It wasn’t just that. He stalked those who ran away and played Whack-A-mole as he looked for the gods who ran away and hid in their residences. Ruthlessly destroying their homes, he ripped them apart!
The gods of Kunlun were appalled by his rampage, which was close to being a terroristic activity.
“Hey! Do something about that child!”
“Do something? What if something bad happens to Madam?”
“That’s right! If we injure Madam, Master will kill us!”
“Damn it! He’s the Great Spirit’s bride, so we don’t dare touch him!”
Despite Lee Gun going on a rampage, the gods of Kunlun couldn’t even lift a finger against him, and any attempts to resolve this through words failed.
“Die!!!”
“Ahhk!”
In the end, the gods quickly came up with a different strategy. It was a method that they frequently used during wars to take territory from their foes.
“Change him to a non-fighting god!”
“Drain his power!”
The Taoist gods immediately used their power. A powerful light extended a hundred meters toward the front, inevitably exposing Lee Gun to it.
“!”
[Your fighting ability is vanishing because of the power of the Taoist.]
[The Taoist’s power has transformed you into the Shangri La's contented god of poverty (for 1 hour)]
[You have become a secluded god who loves to be lazy.]
[You have become a god who loves to smell the roses. You have developed the personality of wanting to appreciate the fine arts.]
As the notification rang, a change occurred to Lee Gun’s body.
“Gun!”
A blue light that settled the body and soul surrounded Lee Gun. Lee Gun rubbed his eyes as if his mind was in a fog.
When they realized the power had worked against Lee Gun, the gods of Kunlun let out sighs of relief.
“It worked! Hurry! Take him in!”
“Bring the wedding dress!”
“I’ll bring the groom!”
Bbah-gahk!!!
“Kuh-huhk!”
The god who had gone to get the wedding dress was thrown aside.
At that moment, the gods of Kunlun couldn’t believe their eyes.
Lee Gun had been looking spaced out. He had been rubbing his eyes as if he was sleepy. However, he suddenly started killing the nearby gods as he moved like a drunkard.
Puh-huhk!
Poo-hahk!!
“Kuh-huhk!”
“Die!!”
The gods of Kunlun were dumbfounded.
“He’s supposed to be a god of poverty and happiness, so why is he so violent?!”
“Normally, they stay in place and enjoy the arts. They wallow in sensual pleasures like wine and women!”
When the attribute of poverty and happiness took hold, one usually started enjoying sensual pleasures. So why was he behaving in such a way?!
“Is that how he enjoys the arts?”
“That makes no sense unless he is a psycho!”
On the other hand, Hugo looked on in understanding.
‘Gun did hate his space being invaded the most.’
In fact, Sophie had almost gotten cut in half when she had entered the room where Lee Gun had been sleeping.
Basically, Lee Gun wanted to enjoy himself, yet insects were buzzing around him. This was why he became much more violent. However, that wasn’t important right now.
Puh-huhk!!
“Why the hell did he become stronger when he became a non-fighting-type god?”
“You uncouth— Kuhk!”
Lee Gun was more temperamental as he swung his ax. His mood seemed worse than usual.
The gods of Kunlun groaned as they died.
“Koohk… We prepared a wedding dress for him.”
“Design… Does he not like the design?”
It seemed he was ready to decapitate the gods. Lee Gun raised his ax as he trampled on the gods.
Hugo quickly jumped in to stop him. “Stop, Gun! Nothing good will come if you go any further! It’ll be detrimental to you!”
“!”
When one harmed the gods here, one accumulated Karmic debt. Moreover, Lee Gun would just be making more and more enemies.
Hearing that, Lee Gun thought about what had happened in the Divine world. He immediately agreed with Hugo. “I guess you’re right.”
“Right? That is why—”
“My Death EXP doesn’t rise no matter how many I kill.”
“Huh?”
“Ah! I can’t lose EXP like this. I have to torture them while I keep them alive.”
“Wait a moment!!”
The next moment, a fierce green light surged forward from Lee Gun, and screams rang out.
[All Creation Revival (Life stage 5)]
[Pain Revival (Life stage 2)]
[Pain Creation (Life stage 3)]
…
[All Creation Revival (Life stage 5)]
The fierce light of Life continued to flash with the Dimensional Crack.
Cycle could be activated only if the EXP of both Life and Death reached 100%. One also had to hit the growth requirements. This was why working on the EXP was a must.
A long time passed like this.
[Life EXP is 96% filled.]
[When it reaches 100%, you will be able to use Cycle.]
Lee Gun tapped his shoulder as if it was stiff. “Alright. The EXP will no longer go up.”
“D-Damn it. Why does the Great Spirit have such taste… No, why did he change like this?”
The old gods of Kunlun spoke in agony.
“Oh, Great Spirit! Why would you choose such a god? You’ll have your junior cut off before you can spend a night together.”
However, Lee Gun didn’t care as he grabbed the grandfather-looking Taoist god by the back of his neck. It seemed he had spared them on purpose. “Lead the way. How do I get to the earth?”
“Snake god! You should be kind and soft to the Great Spirit, who will become your husband!”
Lee Gun became angry, and he tried to crush the old god.
[What are you guys doing? Why is it taking so long?]
“!!”
An unfamiliar voice could be heard as warm light fell from the sky. At the same time, a goddess wearing fluttering beautiful silk clothes appeared.
The gods of Kunlun quickly lowered their heads at her appearance, while Sagittarius’s mouth fell open.
She was in her incarnate form, but there was no mistaking her.
‘She is the mother god of Kunlun!’
Kunlun was known as the faction with the most members and wealth. Moreover, this goddess was a high-rank god who possessed as much power as the Great Spirit.
Lee Gun’s eyebrows rose as he looked at her.
[Divine name: Master of the Taoist gods]
[Divine status: Xiwangmu]
The goddess immediately realized what had happened when she saw the scene in front of her. She looked at Lee Gun as she spoke.
[Oh, snake god! What don’t you like that you continue to refuse the sincerity of Kunlun?]
She was asking him what was wrong.
“Do you need a beating to find out?”
However, the goddess merely smiled.
[Over half of the gods of the Divine world follow Kunlun. That endless number of gods will all become your servants. What more do you want?]
“Fuck off or I’ll bring you guys down like Olympus! I have no business with you guys.”
When she realized he was being serious, the goddess let out a sigh.
[If possible, we want a happy marriage. However, we cannot give up on this arrangement.]
“What?”
[You took Pushover, whom we won in the auction.]
“!”
Hugo flinched. Now that he thought about it, Kunlun was the one to bid for him at the auction. They had used sheer amounts of wealth. That wasn’t all.
- Ho ho ho. Your face is decent, and your powers are useful. I’ll make you my 19,788th husband.
Someone from Kunlun had tried to take him away as she said that!
The goddess continued.
[Thanks to you disappearing, the young sister of the Great Spirit is still crying. Do you realize how sad she was? It seemed she really fancied him.]
Lee Gun cackled when he heard this. “What the hell? You were about to be sold to such a distinguished being. You must regret it. Do you want to go back? It isn’t too late.”
“You can get sold, bastard!” Hugo glared at Lee Gun.
The goddess was oblivious to this exchange. She merely clicked her tongue as she spoke.
[Moreover, there was the incident with Taishang Laojun, the elder god of Kunlun.]
“Tai… What?”
[I’m talking about the elder who you beat up like a dog at the boat party. You even hung him up, Snake god.]
“Ah….”
Lee Gun had beaten up so many gods that he had no idea who it was, but he did have a passing memory of beating up someone like that. He didn’t know what that god did for a living, but it seemed he was a personage of a high position. He probably was a sifu.
The goddess let out a beautiful yet cold smile.
[We have our honor to uphold. After losing Pushover, there is no way we will give up even if there are problems with this marriage!]
“What do you expect me to do?”
[Think about it. It’ll be hard for you to save the earth even if you go right now. A Great Spirit will dote on you, so why would you want to go to a colony dimension like that?]
Lee Gun furrowed his brows as he tilted his head in puzzlement. He had heard gods claiming to be his Constructs had appeared on the earth, yet the goddess’s words got on his nerves for some reason.
The goddess wouldn’t say such words if it was a simple case where imposters had appeared on earth.
Lee Gun’s eyes flashed as he tried to feel her out. “What is going on over there?”
[One of the eight great forces went there.]
Lee Gun laughed as he tried to get more out of her. “If they went to the earth, they are in their incarnate forms. They will be Constructs. My Zodiac Saints can easily take care of them.”
[I’m not so sure. Among the eight great factions, there is one whose gods choose to become Constructs.]
“!”
[Basically, they reject the title of being Zodiacs. Their father, who’s their Great Spirit, is the one and only Zodiac. This is why there is no restriction for them when it comes to moving between dimensions.]
Sagittarius flinched. Did the army of Eden go to the earth? That would be troublesome.
Zodiacs suffered penalties when they headed toward a colony dimension. The penalty stopped them from using their full power. That was the law of the gods engraved within the Rule Book.
Moreover, Zodiacs could mess up with and destroy the environment of the colony dimension. This was why they weren’t supposed to exit the Divine world.
If Zodiacs ignored the rule and descended to the colony dimension, a formidable rule of the Divine world would go into effect.
‘The god under the penalty will die.’
This was why they had to go in their incarnate forms, which were like their clones.
The rules of the Divine world made a distinction depending on the rank of the ruler. It separated the strong. However, this wasn’t the case with Constructs. They were not Zodiacs.
‘They can head toward the colony dimension with their power intact.’
Zodiacs used Constructs to conduct their wars for a reason. There was great benefit if all Zodiac rank and high-rank gods could go to the colony dimension as Constructs.
Eden was the only faction that could do this because it was structured in a way that it had only one god.
‘If I had to make an extreme comparison, it’s like several thousand monarch-rank beings appearing on the earth.’
In fact, the ones who held the upper hand in the war to take colony dimensions were Eden. In other words, they had rescinded their rights to be Zodiacs to pursue power.
‘Why would Eden go to a place like the earth?’
Those angels were known to be picky and elitist in their taste. Well, it didn’t matter.
“Bastards.”
Hugo flinched when he heard the word spoken under his breath.
It seemed the goddess was offended by Lee Gun’s rejection. The greatest goddess of Kunlun menacingly spoke.
[If you still don’t want to come—]
“Ok. I’ll agree to the marriage.”
[!!]
“?!”
The ones to be surprised the most were Hugo and the Constructs of the Serpent Bearer.
“Gun?!”
“Master!”
Lee Gun smirked.
Taken aback, Hugo looked at Lee Gun. However, a peculiar smile hung on Lee Gun’s lips.
After realizing who had gone to the earth, Lee Gun had developed an objective.
‘I’ll have to bring that from Kunlun.’
Lee Gun laughed as he spoke. “I’ll marry the Great Spirit of Kunlun. In return, I expect you guys to prepare an ample amount of dowry. Do I need to prepare anything?”
At Lee Gun’s nonchalant words, Hugo’s mouth fell open in dismay. On the other hand, the gods of Kunlun started cheering.
“The Great Spirit will be happy!!”
“We did it!!”
The goddess was also happy.
[I’ll send my subordinate to guide you.]
“Alright. I’ll make preparations too.”
The flustered Hugo quickly grabbed Lee Gun as if to ask what Lee Gun was thinking.
On the other hand, Sagittarius was happy. He was even clapping. “Oh, man! I will become an in-law to the wealthiest faction of the Divine world! Congrats, Nephew!”
“Haha! What are you talking about?”
“What?”
Lee Gun grabbed Sagittarius and coldly whispered into his ear. “I’m not the one getting married. You are.”
What the hell did he just say?!
