YM778.TV Chapter 352
Chapter 352: Nephew! (2)
An incredible light surrounded the Great Spirit’s palace.
Koo-goo-goong!!
When the palace shook, the gods screamed. The powerful force split the floor, and the walls started to fall. The source of this power was Lee Gun.
[Cycle]
Cycle was a rare, precious power that appeared only if Life and Death coexisted.
Lee Gun’s eyes flashed after he called forth the Divine status of both Life and Death at the same time.
Koo-goo-goohng!!!
Boom!
As his energy shook Olympus, the gods were frightened.
‘This is impossible!’
‘He has two Divine statuses at stage 5?’
Stage 5 of a Divine status was the highest level one could reach. At that stage, there was no way to develop any other Divine statuses; the Divine status was already deeply embedded into one’s soul.
Even if one put a lot of effort into it, any other Divine status would reach only stage 3. If one got lucky, it topped out at stage 4 (Middle-rank).
Lee Gun also had to choose between Life and Death. Each god usually had one Divine status. If a god did acquire more Divine status, it was either entrusted to someone else or given as an inheritance.
Lee Gun had two stage 5 Divine statuses! Just this alone made him on par with a god having stage 6 Divine status!
However, something even more frightening had happened.
[Life and Death are being combined.]
[The Divine status of Cycle is opening its eyes.]
“!!”
The gods doubted their senses when they sensed the power.
‘Wait a moment. That power is…!’
Their expressions changed when they realized what it was.
On the other hand, Lee gun smirked. He had played around with the registry for one reason: to gather all the high-rank gods in one place.
‘It is a power that defeated the monarchs with one blow.’
He was sure it would be very effective against the Great Spirit! In the past, his power had been out of control. It had been too hectic to discern what kind of system governed the power. However, the situation was different now.
[Cycle is a Divine status that forms only when Life and Death become complete.]
[When Life and Death are activated at the same time, they can be changed into the Divine status of Cycle.]
In other words, it was a transformed Divine status.
Flash!
Finally, a light different from that of the Divine statuses of Life and Death surged forth.
The Divine status of Cycle allowed Lee Gun to leapfrog the pillar gods. Lee Gun’s hair had been dyed red with Sagittarius’s ability, but the powerful Cycle turned his hair back to its original color.
This made the gods desperate. They had no idea how a baby snake could use a Great Spirit-rank power, but that wasn’t important right now.
“Stop him. We can’t let it run amok here— Ahhhk!”
Before they could speak any further, Lee Gun’s power ruthlessly struck Olympus. Then, something surprising happened.
“Koo-oohk!”
“Ahhhhk!!”
As the power of Cycle swept them up, their faces turned pale from fright.
‘My body is turning stiff!’
It was unclear if their Divine statuses were being sealed or if they had disappeared. The power of the gods vanished. They tried to use their powers, but Lee Gun kept sucking them away. It was as if Lee Gun was using their powers as a source for his power.
The gods felt an uncontrollable rage.
‘He’s a lowly god who used to be a human!’
In the end, they shouted.
“Lord of Heaven!!”
“Send a counterattack!”
The only one capable of fighting against a Divine status of that caliber was the Great Spirit. However, the Great Spirit gave an unexpected answer.
[I cannot use my power in front of that.]
“What? What do you mean by that?”
A Great Spirit couldn’t use his power? That made no sense!
The Great Spirit immediately recognized Lee Gun’s power. It was a troublesome power. It wasn’t as if the Great Spirit was unable to use stage 6 power, but this power was the worst.
‘That’s one of the powers belonging to the king of the gods.’
It was the king that governed the gods.
Soon, his subordinates shouted.
“Great Spirit!”
In the end, the Great Spirit pivoted.
[A high number of Olympus’s gods have emission-type abilities. It doesn’t matter how much power is used. He’ll consume it and use it as a source of power.]
“What?!”
[He’s the worst type of being that we can go up against.]
“…!”
In truth, the Great Spirit had been very interested in Lee Gun. He created a Construct with 600% faith, and he killed Hades.
‘He probably has the power of healing god.’
A power of that magnitude would be a big boon to Olympus.
However, Lee Gun didn’t join Olympus at all. Instead, he brought out a very problematic Divine status.
[Cycle Stage 1]
“Ahhhk!!!”
The power of Cycle, which had been threatening the gods, washed over the entire territory of Olympus.
Tuhhng!!
Something frightening happened.
Olympus’s buildings started to fall. No, falling wasn’t an apt description.
[Olympus’s barrier is being returned to the state of nothingness.]
[All the buildings built within Olympus are being reverted to basic materials. They are being returned to the state before they were built.]
[Creation ▶ Destruction]
The palace of the Great Spirit within Olympus boasted a history that stretched back as far as one could remember. In a flash, it turned back into a state before it was built. That wasn’t all.
Koo-goo-goong!!
Starting with the Great Spirit’s palace, everything within Olympus’s territory started turning into nothing. The pillar gods bit their lips at this sight.
‘I’m sure of it!’
‘That’s the long lost Primordial power!’
In the past, the Primordial God was the highest-ranked god. It occupied the highest seat. Cycle was one of the numerous abilities that the Primordial God had possessed.
Among the numerous Divine statuses within the Divine world, the Primordial Divine statuses were the strongest and the closest to the source.
Of course, the Primordial Divine Statuses had been all recovered after being stolen except the Cycle. It was a power that had gone extinct, disappeared without a trace.
That was why everyone tried very hard to revive this Divine status. This was true from lowly creatures to high-rank gods.
However, the gods that claimed to be the gods of Cycle were all imitators. They only claimed to have revived the power of Cycle.
For example, the wind god called it Cycle of Air. The god of finance called it Cycle of Wealth. Then there was the healer god that was in charge of Cycle of Blood.
‘The twin snakes were able to imitate it, but…!’
The original owner of the Serpent Bearer temple, Aslan, had reared two baby snakes, Yeonwoo and Junwoo. If they wanted to imitate the power of Cycle, both of them had to be present. Moreover, even if they used it, they could change the fate of only a single god.
This was why they were close to being the gods of Life and Death instead of Cycle.
However, this snake god was different. He had the power to disturb the order of the universe!
[Divine Status ▶ Anti-Divine Status]
[Immortal ▶ Mortal]
…
[Beauty ▶ Ugly]
[Ugly ▶ Really Ugly]
[Rich ▶ Poor]
[Male ▶ Female]
[Female ▶ Male]
[God ▶ Human]
“Ahhk!!”
The gods lost their Divine statuses when the light of Cycle hit them. It was death as a god. Some couldn’t overcome their age and died. This was the power of Cycle stage 1, “Reverse (Reversion Cycle).”
In other words, the power could change the source and attribute to its exact opposite. This was the power that had taken care of Time and Oblivion.
The pillar gods’ appearance changed, and their Divine statuses disappeared, giving them /a mental breakdown.
Thanks to Lee Gun, the immortal gods became mortal. They became lowly bags of flesh.
“Bastard!!”
Of all the things they could be turned into, they had been turned into humans, who couldn’t use Divine status!
“You cheap bastard!”
“Fight us fair and square…!”
They glared at him, but Lee Gun merely let out a menacing laugh.
“Kneel.”
“!”
Oppressive Divine power fell on top of the gods’ heads.
Kwahng!!!
The powerful pressure pressed down on them. They were no longer gods. They were no longer immortal beings. Their heads slammed into the ground.
“Koo-oohk—!”
“Bastard— Kuh0huhk!!”
Lee Gun’s red eyes flashed as if to say how dare they raise their heads.
“A bag of flesh like you dare threaten a god?”
“…!”
“From what I recall, someone said a lowly human shouldn’t get any say within the great tower of the gods.”
The pillar gods froze.
Accompanying a menacing smile, Lee Gun brought down the power of Cycle toward the ground.
Kwahng!!!
The powerful light fell once again, destroying all the buildings on the first to the twentieth floor.
Koo-goo-goo-goong!
“Ahhhhk!!!”
Tens of millions of gods within Olympus were swept up in the light of Cycle. It was the destruction of Olympus.
To accomplish this, Lee Gun had purposefully sent away Hugo, Yeonwoo, and Yooha to a different location. He had come here alone because if they were here, he couldn’t cause mayhem to his heart’s content!
The Great Spirit glared at Lee Gun, who was like a calamity in motion.
[Ignorant fool!]
He should be frightened by the power used by Lee Gun, but he didn’t care. The Great Spirit was part of the strata that ruled over the Divine world. This was why he knew about this power better than anyone. He knew how to overcome the power of Cycle. It wasn’t that difficult.
[He just has to use it one more time, and everything will return to normal!]
“!”
The reversion had happened once. It merely had to happen again to return everything to the starting point.
This power could turn everything into nothing, but at the same time, it could turn nothing into something.
This was why the Great Spirit purposefully let Lee Gun waste his power. The vanished Olympus and the attributes of gods could be reverted once again using the power of Cycle! Moreover, he didn’t need to ask Lee Gun to do it.
‘I just have to take his Divine status and use it.’
Of course, all gods had a hard time developing and using more than one Divine status. However, Great Spirits could handle several of them. In fact, they were magnates that could use the Divine statuses of the gods under them!
Extracting and temporarily using the Divine status from that fledgling god wouldn’t be hard.
The Lord of Heaven used lightning bolts several meters in size. They coalesced to form a giant made out of lightning. A man had appeared. It was the Great Spirit of Olympus.
“You’re too young to use that power, baby snake.”
The light around Lee Gun’s power started to contract.
[The power that you have accumulated has almost been depleted.]
[If you want to use the power of Cycle, you need 100% EXP for both Life and Death.]
[EXP has been reset to 0%.]
[You need to recharge your EXP and Divine power.]
[Current Divine Power: 17%]
[Your transformation as the god of Cycle will be undone.]
The symbols of light, which had appeared above Lee Gun’s body, started to fade away.
The Lord of Heaven laughed. As the power of Cycle had also swept him up, his body had gone through a reversion. However, he was a Great Spirit-rank for a reason. The effect was temporary for him.
“You don’t know how to use your power yet. When your power dissipates, I’ll teach you a lesson.”
Lee Gun smirked. “You’re the one who should be taught a lesson.”
“What?”
At that moment, the Great Spirit and the pillar gods froze.
Doo-doo hk, doo-doo-doohk!!!
Lee Gun’s power of Cycle had turned the barrier around Olympus into nothing. As the ceiling split, Olympus’s sky started to split too. That wasn’t all.
Doo-doo-doohk!!
The ground started to split apart. Then, shouts came from the ground.
“The pillar gods are here!”
“That damn Great Spirit of Olympus!!”
The prisoners banished to the cracks between the floors had come to attack Olympus, whose gods had been turned into humans by Lee Gun.
“Kill them!”
“They are our enemies!”
“…!!!”
The pillar gods turned pale. Dumbfounded, they watched the prisoners rush toward them.
“Your problem starts now.”
“?”
“I’ve been spraying pheromone for a while now.”
“Pheromone??”
The gods hadn’t noticed this, but Lee Gun was letting out an odd scent.
“It’s a product that amplifies my scent by a magnitude of ten million. It’s to lure someone I know very well. I made sure the scent would travel a far distance… Ah. I think it’s here.”
“???”
“Why don’t you take a stab? Who do you think I was calling by spreading my scent?”
The gods looked confused, but Lee Gun merely laughed in response. He tossed something toward the Great Spirit. It was Hermes’ arm, which Poseidon had summoned. Hugo had taken it, saying it might be useful as an ingredient. At that moment…
Doo-doohk! Doo-doo-doohk!
“!”
Everyone could feel an ominous energy spread through the crack. The foreboding feeling lasted only a moment before something frightening appeared from the crack in the sky.
Kwahng!!
[Who dared to steal the food that I was eating!]
“!!!”
The gods froze.
The Abyss monarch had descended into the Divine world.
