YM778.TV Chapter 327
Chapter 327: I Came to Find You? (2)
Yes. He was a smuggler.
Lee Gun’s smile became brighter than ever before.
‘Why did I think of that?’
He had no reason to wait in the queue. He had no reason to have his face evaluated by others.
‘I just have to force myself in there.’
As if they had read his intent, the Constructs of the Serpent Bearer temple became scared out of their wits.
[M-Master! You can’t!!!]
[It doesn’t matter what you have in your mind, but you can’t do it! It isn’t something you should do!]
The Constructs were connected to their master. While they couldn’t read his thoughts, they could sense his mood.
When Lee Gun’s sharp feelings suddenly resolved into something bright, the Constructs clenched their butts. It was obvious what their master was thinking!
[Master!!]
[You can’t do that….]
“You’re being noisy. If you guys keep opening your mouths, I’ll kill you guys first.”
The Constructs within the shadow became silent at once. They didn’t want to die at their owner’s hands.
‘Master is scary even if his power is sealed.’
‘As expected of Lee Gun-nim…’
The owner of the flying vessel was oblivious to what was going on. He furrowed his brows. “Why the hell is this bastard mumbling to himself?”
Lee Gun looked at the male god when he spoke up. At a glance, the god looked like a shepherd.
‘He doesn’t look like a fighting-type god.’
Lee Gun continued to glare at the god, but gained no other information.
‘As expected, none of my skills are working.’
Normally, the Gaze of a God would be automatically activated, and he would be able to confirm numerous pieces of information.
To check the status of his skills, he unfurled his hand, but he saw only one thing through the golden hologram.
[LOCK]
It seemed he was unable to use his skills, including Super Regeneration, until he entered the Divine world. Well, it didn’t matter.
“You said you’re a smuggler, right? You should let me ride along with you.”
The male god looked Lee Gun up and down, baffled. “Since you fell from that bridge, you must have failed during the entry evaluation. You’re a reject.”
The male god brought up his forefinger as if he was about to push Lee Gun’s forehead with it. “How dare a lowly bug like you give orders to me? From your looks, you seem like a low-rank god that does odd jobs…”
However, when the forefinger was about to touch Lee Gun’s forehead, Lee Gun grabbed it. Then he broke it.
“Ahhhk!!”
It had happened in an instant.
The flustered male god tried to attack Lee Gun.
Bbah-gahk!
“Ahhhhhk!!”
Lee Gun moved like lightning as he broke the god’s joints. Lee Gun wasn’t using any weapons or magical energy, yet he was like a kid playing with his toy robot. He merely needed one hand and one foot to dismantle a god. The god was put on the ground as if it was nothing.
Ba-gahk! Bah-gahk!
The god felt as if his joints were about to be destroyed. He lay on the ground, shaking. “W-what is your identity? No, what are you?”
“It’s none of your business.”
“I mean… If you’re a fighting-type god, you should have said so in the first place…!!”
“I don’t care. Just drive this thing. Hyung-nim has business in the Divine world.”
The god was dumbfounded. How old was this bastard to give orders to him? Why did he have to call him Hyung-nim?
At that moment, the god saw the document sticking out from Lee Gun’s pocket. He took it without Lee Gun noticing it, and when he unfurled the document, a scream escaped his lips. His reaction was understandable.
Age: 25
“Ahhhk! You’re a novice that isn’t even a hundred years old, so how dare you order me around!!”
“!”
“Hey! I might be young, but I’m 3,200 years old….”
Bbah-gahk!!
“Drive.”
“Yes… Hyung-nim.”
* * *
It didn’t matter whether one wanted to succeed or whether one wanted to show off one’s power. The best from various worlds gathered at the battlefield of the Pantheon.
Lee Gun arrived at the entrance to the Divine world in no time.
At a glance, it looked like an enormous mountain. The flying boat infiltrated the world by hiding itself within the cloud, and they entered an enormous cave.
Then the god immediately hid the airship. They would have to walk from that point on.
Satyr looked at Lee Gun as if the latter were suspicious. “I have a question, Hyung-nim.”
“Keep it short.”
“I don’t want to be presumptuous. This might be rude, but…”
“Don’t ask if it’s rude to ask, idiot.”
“Kuh-huhk!!” Satyr shed tears after being beaten up again.
Lee Gun furrowed his brows. “Whatever. What’s your name?”
“What? Ah! My name is Satyr…”
“Hey, Gigolo. Do you know about the gods? I’m looking for someone.”
Why the hell did he ask for his name if he was going to act this way? Satyr was going to push back, but he shut his mouth when faced with Lee Gun’s fists.
“Yes! I’m confident about being in the top three when it comes to information about gods!! I can find anyone…!”
“Hades.”
“What?! Of all the gods you can look for, you’re looking for an Olympus Zodiac! Moreover, he’s part of the eight great powers…”
Satyr discreetly looked Lee Gun up and down. He reacted in disgust. “Since you’re looking for a Zodiac, you must be trying to become his Construct… He won’t accept a god that participated in smuggling.”
Lee Gun merely snorted. “Construct, my ass! I’m going there to kill him.”
“Ah! Is that so? I guess it doesn’t matter if you’re going for that purpose—”
The laughing Satyr suddenly screamed. “Ahhhhhk! No way you’re going to kill him!!!”
“?”
Satyr looked scared out of his wits as he grabbed Lee Gun by the collar. “You must be oblivious since you’re a novice! Someone of your caliber cannot go against someone like that! Do you understand what I am saying?!”
Bbah-gahk!!
“Never mind….” Satyr cried after being hit by Lee Gun again. “It seems Hyung-nim is clueless about everything. You must have come from a backward dimension.”
“?”
He started writing something on the floor.
[Ancient God] (Bastards in the Heavens)
[Great Spirit] (Royal bastards)
[Zodiac] (Noble bastards) <- You’re aiming for this
[Construct] (Knights·Retainers) <- Very annoying minions of the Zodiac bastards. ※Caution: Depending on their size, there might be high-rank Zodiacs in this class. You shouldn’t mess with anyone starting from here at all costs.
[Adjunct deity] (Commoner) <- I’m here
[Quasi-deity] (Lowest Class)
[Subtype deity] (Poor slave) <- You’re here!
“Do you now see the problem?”
When Lee Gun glared at him as if he were unimpressed, Satyr screamed while erasing the words he wrote. He wrote anew.
[Transcendent god]
[Highest-rank god]
[High-rank god] <- You’re aiming for this ★
[Middle-rank god]
[Low-rank god]
[Lowest-rank god] <- You’re here!
Satyr opened his eyes wide. “Do you understand now? Do you realize how great the high-rank gods are? They are scary and worthy of worship! How dare you say that!”
Lee Gun was dumbfounded. He had beaten up and turned such exalted beings into weapons?
Satyr’s body shook. “Both the high-rank and the low-rank gods are already in a frenzy because of the 600%-faith Construct that was captured not too long ago…!”
“!”
Lee Gun turned his head when he heard the story about Hugo.
“Anyway, it seems you cannot raise your rank, so you’re trying to kill a god as an achievement to raise your status. Give up on that idea. From the looks of your ranking, you seem to be in the lowest rank. I can tell you’re a subtype deity. A novice like you against a high-rank god is—”
“Fated to be torn apart by us.”
“?!”
The voice of a third person reverberated above their heads. At the same time, the wall of the cave came alive to turn into a beast.
“Ahhk! It’s the customs enforcement officer!”
The beast-like Construct tried to kill Lee Gun and Satyr. “I’ll immediately execute both of you!”
“Ahhk! No! Please spare us! We didn’t mean anything by this!”
The Construct was about to swing its weapon when…
Poo-hahk!!!
Lee Gun did a roundhouse kick, sending the Construct’s head flying.
Streams of blood shot out from its neck.
“K…Kuh-huhk…!!”
In a flash, the Construct’s head fell to the ground.
Lee Gun’s eyes flashed as he landed lightly. “Execution, my ass!”
“…!!”
Satyr almost screamed. “H-He’s dead…!”
“It isn’t dead. Keep your mouth shut.”
“…!”
Lee Gun kicked the head of the Construct, which had turned into stone, as he took the lead.
Satyr shook from fright. The customs enforcement officer was a Construct affiliated with the Divine world. Such Constructs were high rank; they were the elites amongst the elites. Yet he was able to dispatch them in an instant!
‘What the hell! He is a low-rank god!’
The established gods could see it with their eyes. They could somewhat see their opponent’s ranking.
Lee Gun seemed oblivious as he moved inward. If he passed through this place, he would be able to find Hugo. He would be able to decapitate Hades.
Finally, he reached an open space. “If I pass through this place, it’ll be the Divine world, right?”
However, Lee Gun’s face hardened as soon as he entered the space.
‘What the hell is this?’
It was a vast indoor space, like the space one encountered before one exited the airport. It was like the last gate where the passport was checked.
This proved to be true, as an employee in the front was checking documents before sending the gods through.
‘What the hell is this line?’
The line in front of Lee Gun was at least several kilometers long, reminiscent of a line to an amusement park attraction.
Satyr laughed as if to say Lee Gun shouldn’t feel intimidated. “It might look like this, but this place merely issues tickets. Do you see the doors that look like walls? The pillars of light that you can see beyond them are direct gates. We just need to cross that gate over there!”
Lee Gun got angry. The reason for his anger was the conversation taking place among the beings waiting in line. They spoke as they sighed.
“Ah! This is driving me crazy. It’ll take three hundred years this time.”
“What? That’s fast since you’re at the front line. This line will take five hundred years.”
What the hell did they just say?
Lee Gun was angry.
One of the public employee gods was oblivious to his anger. He handed Lee Gun a waiting number ticket.
“Oh my! You’re a handsome male god. You’re lucky. This line is moving quickly, so you’ll be able to enter in 1,300 years. I want to congratulate you!”
“…”
What did this bad say? At that moment, a middle-aged god slyly cut in line in front of Lee Gun.
He cut in line, making the nearby gods raise their eyebrows in anger. However, the culprit seemed close to the public employees. He just snorted when he looked at Lee Gun. “Kids these days don’t know how to yield to their betters. Someone with a low rank should be quick on the uptake.”
Lee Gun looked at the back of the culprit’s head. The culprit didn’t care as he dug out something that looked like a phone. “Yeah. It’s me. I’ll be there soon. You should prepare a lot of drinks— Kuh-huhk!!”
Lee Gun let his fist fly toward the culprit.
Bbah-gahk! Bbah-gahk!
The god who had cut in line became bloodied. The nearby gods cheered, but Lee Gun ignored them. He shook off blood from his fists as he walked forward. He was doing it because something was off.
The line was long, but the evaluation wasn’t something that should take too long. Like checking the passport, this place should be checking their faces and dispensing the tickets.
‘It shouldn’t take hundreds of years.’
In the end, Lee Gun’s eyes turned round when he reached the checkpoint in the front.
“Wow! Your name is three letters long? It’ll take me three years to type it. Hey. What do you guys want for lunch?”
“Oh my, old man. Your penmanship isn’t sophisticated enough. Please come back after you write it again. Ah. You have to get back in line.”
The public employees checking the documents were doing other things.
The gods in the line not getting angry at this display was impressive, but this was because these gods’ powers were sealed until they entered the Divine world.
In this place, the public employees were in power. The gods were patient as they did as asked. They remained patient as they followed all the rules.
On the other hand, an angry Lee Gun grabbed a public employee by his collar. “Hey. Why the hell does this take three years?”
“Hmph. If you don’t like it, you can head back. I have a lot to read. Of course, it’ll take a long time.”
Lee Gun’s eyebrows rose in anger when he saw the document being waved in his face. The document that the employee was reading was a single paper with not a single letter on it.
While this was occurring, the line next to him started shrinking rapidly.
Lee Gun furrowed his eyebrows at this sight. “That line is moving very quickly. They are reading more documents than you guys, so why is that line faster?”
The public employee god spoke mockingly. “Why else? It’s all about money.”
“What?”
“Don’t you know capitalism? If you feel aggrieved, you can take out some money. Well, you look poor by your appearance. I doubt you have any money.”
Lee Gun let out a bright smile. “Haha! I promised Yeonwoo to not throw a temper tantrum, but…”
“What nonsense are you—”
Bbah-gahk!!!
“Kuh-huhk!!”
“Kyahhhk!!!”
The interior of the evaluation center turned into a scene of pandemonium.
The public employee who had his face smashed by Lee Gun fell unconscious. The nearby public employees got to their feet, and they screamed.
“C-Capture him!”
Lee Gun didn’t pay attention to them as he jumped on top of the table. He looked behind where the public employee sat.
Numerous mechanical devices lay back there. He had no idea which button opened the gate, but it didn’t matter.
Beep-Beep- Beep- Beep-
Lee Gun nonchalantly jumped off the table after pressing all the buttons. It was mayhem in the evaluation center.
Beep-Beep- Beep- Beep-
[Gate Opened]
[Danger]
[Danger]
[Danger of Exploding]
The walls blocking all the entrances disappeared, and all the gods waiting in line cheered at this.
“What is going on?!”
“That person opened the door!”
“Wow! Huzzah!!”
With Lee Gun leading the way, all the gods rushed toward the gate leading to the Divine world. Tens of thousands of gods rushed forward all at once!
The corrupt public officials, who had connections to the Great Spirits, turned pale from fright.
“Ahhhk! No! We won’t know who entered if they do that!”
“Catch them!”
“Cut off the transmission equipment!”
Was it caused by Lee Gun pressing the buttons? At that moment, a large explosion occurred within the evaluation center.
Kwahng!!!
[Ahhk! Turn off the transmission equipment!]
[Hurry up and catch them!]
[Catch the one who beat up the public employee first!]
[No! The gate exploded!]
An act of terror had occurred, and the evaluation center was burning.
The Zodiac Saints of the earth were watching all this through the power of clairvoyance possessed by a Construct. They were at a loss for words.
“That crazy bastard….”
“I’m the idiot for thinking he would enter through the normal way…”
A calamity had entered the Divine world.
