[The star elemental, ‘Stellar,’ has chosen you as its master.]
[The divine power of a massive star has started to protect your body.]
[Divinity has started to enter your body.]
......
To my surprise, these messages appeared and disappeared before my eyes. It was surprising that divinity dwelled in me out of nowhere, but there was no time to think about it. The five colors of heaven and earth became small dots and gathered around me. I felt a sense of fullness in my body and a fragrant, sweet smell spread out from me. At the same time, the bones and muscles in my body twisted and re-aligned.
“Keuk...!”
I gritted my teeth and barely endured the tremendous amount of pain. A dazzling light burst out and obstructed everyone’s view. As the pain passed, the divine power of the stars with its white and yellow energy flowed through me. Then a message appeared in front of my eyes again.
[World: The new king of constellations has been born.]
[The king of constellations...]
The moment I read this message, I realized that I had become a star god like Lupeon, the god of stars and mercy. I could feel the constellations around me staring blankly. Aries became astonished and quickly knelt down. The other constellations followed her actions.
[I greet the new king of stars!]
[Raise your heads. We are currently in a war.] I told them as I quickly grasped the situation and forced them up with intangible power. Then I snapped my fingers.
[The star spirit that is the root of the constellations has restored its original strength.]
A cluster of stars gathered around the constellations and there was an explosion of strength and morale. The demons, who had paused for a while, rushed forward with screams. However, they weren’t a match once the constellations regained their original strength. The flesh and blood of the demons were scattered, instilling fear in them.
Meanwhile, I was touching my stomach while thinking of the previous message. I could feel that the star elemental, Stella, had fallen asleep inside here. Perhaps it had fallen asleep after awakening the divinity of the stars inside me. Still, it was thanks to this that I could now properly handle the power of the stars.
[Then I can use this.]
I slowly danced in the air as I soared into the sky. Every step was beautifully decorated and scattered with the remnants of the stars. Finally, the Star Flying Kick Technique was completed and the sensation of the surrounding space twisting was felt.
The space broke like glass and the universe could be seen through it. It was a stellar storm from the universe.
[Go.]
I pointed straight ahead with two fingers. Then countless meteorites started to bombard the enemies. The divine power of the stars had an incompatible nature with the demons so the yellow-white energy caused the demons to disappear without being able to restore their bodies. The surprising thing was that the dead who were touched by the stars weren’t revived as undead.
[Ugh.]
I felt a tremendous feeling of weakness and stumbled.
[The consumption of divine power is more than I thought. I can only use it one or two more times in the future.]
I barely stood upright and stared straight ahead. Then my eyes brightened as I saw the exposed road. Beyond me, I could see Lucifer fighting Hercules. As the demons tried to gather and rush at me again, I floated five star fragments around me. The star fragments automatically hovered around me and started to attack, firing beams of light at the demons.
I moved through the cracks and headed for Lucifer at a terrifying speed.

At the Underworld, Pluto’s palace...
“Hah. I only got the divine power of a story and used it with a human body. Meanwhile, that friend has become the god of the stars and his power has grown even more. Really.”
Alexus watched the translucent screen floating in the air and clicked his tongue like it was absurd. Currently, his hand was placed on a black crystal ball that he was injecting strength into.
[It is a good thing.]
Yoo Seonyeong focused on injecting power into the black crystal ball in front of her. She smiled as she watched the situation in the human world. Aiolos and the tundra dragon were next to her. Both of them were in the process of injecting power into the black crystal ball. The black bead in front of them was used to close the doors to the Underworld. However, Yoo Seonyeong couldn’t use it with her weakened power.
Thus, the others joined forces to help.
“By the way, Aiolos. Your daughter is pretty good?”
Aiolos’s mouth twitched at the sudden praise of his daughter. He wanted to smile, but he was obviously suppressing it.
[She still has a long way to go.]
“No, she is quite remarkable. Haha.”
Aiolos’s gaze focused on Punghee who appeared on the screen. It was the appearance of a daughter obsessed fool. However, there was something more important now.
‘The Gaeram didn’t show up? Can it be that she still hasn’t awakened properly?’
Aiolos finished his calculations in an instant and turned to Yoo Seonyeong.
* * *
At the tower of the wind, the Gaeram’s cave...
Currently, the tower of the wind was in disorder. Punghee had been fighting Boreas, one of the Gaeram’s four generals, when she disappeared like the wind, saying something urgent had happened. Before she disappeared, she explained that something had happened in the human world. Due to the sudden situation, the generals gathered at the table and started to have a meeting.
“Cough, I really didn’t expect her to go away like this. It seems that the situation outside is unusual! Haha!”
Boreas of the north wind laughed.
Every time he laughed, his red cloak and white beard fluttered.
“It seems like something really big has happened outside. It would be nice if we could go out and help.”
Zephyrus of the left wind lamented with a regretful expression. Kerenos looked startled.
“Are you unable to leave this place?”
“You don’t know it, but we are all bound here.”
The one who answered was Eurus of the east wind. His red wings and hot wind seemed to raise the ambient temperature.
“You are bound? Why?”
“It is because our former master commanded it. We can’t leave here unless our new master awakens.”
Notos of the south wind spoke in a gloomy tone that seemed soaked in rain. Kerenos frowned at the words.
“That is really inconvenient. I don’t know if I should go out as well.”
"Kuahaha! Don’t do that. Stay here and drink with us!”
Boreas laughed loudly, causing a cold wind. It wasn’t known when he brought it, but he had a bottle of beer in his hand.
"No, do you have beer here?”
“That is a good question. The cave is full of ingredients to make beer.”
Zephyrus opened a green fan made of wind and used it to cover his nose and mouth. Kerenos sighed deeply.
It happened at this time...
“......!”
“......!”
“......!”
“......!”
Simultaneously, the expressions of the four generals sitting at the table changed dramatically. They made eye contact with each other and grinned.
Kerenos asked in a bewildered manner, “What’s going on?”
* * *
The moment I got involved in the fight between Lucifer and Hercules, there was a massive battle. The demons watching received Lucifer’s command and rushed to death. Hercules and I had to deal with them while being surrounded by many demons.
Lucifer’s attacks through the gaps we showed were devastating. I had become the god of stars, but I couldn’t properly handle the power yet. Thus, the two of us were becoming more and more tired.
[Kuek!]
Just then, Hercules’ brief scream was heard. Hercules’ complexion became pale as black claws lodged in his side. Hercules quickly pulled out the claws and blood flowed from his side. He barely managed to stop the bleeding by covering his side with his hands.
[Damn.]
[Are you okay?]
[I’m not okay.]
Lucifer’s black claws returned to Lucifer and hovered around him. There were 10 black claws moving around him at high speed, glistening with a blue light. One of Lucifer’s 10 claws had stabbed at Hercules’ side. They were the claws with the power to kill a god, so even Hercules couldn’t ignore it as a demigod. I just had to see the blood flowing from his side to tell that it contained a tremendous power.
The power of a god killer was extremely threatening. Even Pluto’s power wouldn’t be able to prevent destruction.
[......]
In a brief standoff, it was silent like the calm before a storm. The demons showed their teeth and roared, running over whenever they saw a small gap. Just then, a winged demon flew behind Hercules with its teeth and claws aimed at him.
[You dare!]
However, Hercules simply burst the demon’s head with a single blow of his club, as if it wouldn’t be allowed. As the demon fell, the star fragments around me automatically emitted light that scattered the demon’s soul. Naturally, the demon died without becoming an undead. Once again, a tranquil stillness descended on the battlefield.
[I didn’t think you would become the new god of stars, but it isn’t enough.]
Lucifer’s hand reached out toward us. The image of a large black lion emerged and roared. 10 claws flew from all sides and Hercules and I dodged them while attacking the demons. One of the demon generals who intervened in the middle was very annoying. I immediately flicked my fingers and shot 10 beams of starlight at him.
“......!”
Several small explosions were heard. The demon general suffered from fatal wounds and paled while stumbling back. Hercules didn’t miss this gap.
“Hut, no!”
[Yes.]
The tremendous power crushed the head of the demon general. The astonished demons shouted angrily and their attacks became even more intense. There were too many of them.
[These guys!]
I immediately created wind that resembled a giant dragon and shot it at the demons approaching in the sky. The demons were swept up in the wind and died like they were crushed in a blender. I gasped as I felt a loss of magic power.
[Hup!]
The next moment, the claws struck and I almost died. I had to escape the attack while still being out of breath. If it continued like this, my remaining magic power and divine power would be depleted. The Star Flying Kick Technique had long reached its limit and hope was gradually fading.
[......!]
Just then, the shape of the dragon I had created was dispersed and quickly sucked toward somewhere near me. Soon after, the roars of tigers echoed throughout the battlefield. The battlefield entered a lull and the sky shook once more as silver thunderbolts started to flash.
Then silver thunderbolt fell somewhere.
It happened in an instant. The clouds in the sky distorted and thousands of small swirls fell rapidly from above. It was a spectacle that couldn’t be explained in human words. The vortex was accompanied by a huge cloud that quickly dispersed, creating fog on the battlefield.
In the sky, another silver thunderbolt flashed.
[No way, they...]
I squinted as I closely examined the faces of those who appeared. Their bodies were entirely made of wind and they armor they were wearing seemed solid. Then four winged knights knelt toward a woman.
[The wind that crushes everything in the way. The storm in armor. The Gaeram greets the new Pungbaek!]
Pungbaek = god who is the rule of wind in the Korean creation myth
