The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero (Return of the catastrophic hero) - Chapter 419

“This is crazy…!”

Everyone rubbed their eyes, but the Divine world was still nowhere to be seen. Olympus being blasted away was cute compared to this.

All the regions of the Divine world had been blasted away, including the central district, Valhalla, and Ennead.

The only regions that still existed were specialized regions, such as the underworld and the Samsara Hell. Even these barely had enough oxygen to breathe.

Aside from regions with specialized Unravel spells, Death had swept away everything else.

The gods were beyond frightened. They almost let go of their sanity.

It was unclear if Lee Gun could understand their shock. He had returned to his smaller human form and burst out laughing. “Ha ha ha. This feels awesome! It really feels clean now that it is all gone!”

“…?!!!”Lee Gun was sprawled out in the central district… no, on the land where the central district used to exist.

As he laughed on his back, he viewed space in front of his eyes.

[You have acquired a new Achievement.]

[Destroyed the Divine world (6 star)]

“I should have done this from the start.”

The thirteen Zodiacs were beyond shocked. They had a mental breakdown as they screamed.

“You crazy bastard! You should have left behind somewhere where we can live!”

“I can’t believe you came up with the idea of blowing up the Pantheon!”

“My stuff…! Compensate me!”

“Who cares? Your house is my house, right?”

“#*#$&*#!”

The gods grabbed the back of their necks. How could someone like him be the master of the thirteen Zodiacs? Their blood pressure rose.

It was apparent that he had destroyed the Divine world without a trace, but…

‘How is this possible?’

Pantheon was where the gods lived. It was the largest residential area and was like the holy land for the gods. It couldn’t be destroyed through force.

It was a fortress that possessed special defensive abilities, and it had even stopped the invasion of the outer gods. Yet Lee Gun had destroyed it in one go!

The Great-Spirit-rank Death was beyond imagination. Of course, this destruction had been possible because Lee Gun combined his power with a six-star destructive Achievement…!

‘Is he confident that he’ll be able to handle the Karmic debt?’

However, Lee Gun didn’t look any different. He didn’t show any signs of changing into an evil god. This was why the gods had a realization.

‘Could it be? Destroying the Divine world doesn’t count as Karmic debt?’

‘There is no way…!’

‘It might be possible if he possesses Great-Spirit-rank permission tickets (Exoneration).’

Anyway, it was a relief since nothing bad was occurring to Lee Gun.

“He really was a psychotic bastard.”

“!”

The nearby gods started to take up their weapons once again as they looked at Lee Gun. They had barely kept their lives by remaining out of Death’s way, but they had lost all their land and wealth. Naturally, they were pissed.

It also looked like Lee Gun had expended quite a lot of power. He was no longer a giant and had returned to his original form. Clearly, the gods saw him as someone they could defeat.

Moreover, it did seem like Lee Gun was lying down because he was tired and unable to get up.

Therefore, the gods approached him.

“Did you think there would be no consequences for doing this?”

However, Lee Gun looked at them as if it wasn’t a problem. “What? You just have to fix it. Don’t you guys have hands and feet?”

The gods glared at him. It seemed the bastard was oblivious to the reality.

“Not anyone can fix the foundation of the Divine world!”

“Is that so?”

“It’s possible to repair minor stuff like the outer walls, but the foundation is a different story!”

“Oh. Is that so?”

“That’s right. The ones to make the Divine world are the now-extinct Creators. It cannot be rebuilt or repaired without the Creator tribe…”

“Ah ha! I see. It can’t be fixed without a Creator.”

“Now you know….”

The gods soon became silent.

For some reason, Lee Gun was snickering. The gods wanted him to take responsibility for his action, so his reaction puzzled them. However, they screamed when the trailing gods caught up to them.

“C…Creator?!”

“That bastard is a Creator?!”

It seemed some gods had received the news about Lee Gun, and they had a mental breakdown. Numerous gods looked devastated.

‘It means our building and belongings….’

‘He’s the only one capable of fixing it…!’

Lee Gun grinned as if he had read their thoughts. “Good luck with the recovery. You guys handle it.”

The gods grabbed the back of their necks again.

“Let’s consult the pillar gods!”

“Let’s have a meeting with the Great Spirits!”

The gods immediately went away. A couple of them wanted to capture Lee Gun, but they didn’t dare do it.

Although Lee Gun looked to be lying down from exhaustion, this wasn’t the case. Overpowering Divine power was leaking out of him, and the gods felt as if the power was choking them around the neck.

Moreover, Jun, the Divine status of Death, was also there. His hackles rose whenever the gods looked at Lee Gun.

‘If he is indeed a Great-Spirit-rank…’

They didn’t dare lay a hand on him. The gods could only look, and they soon went away.

Seeing this, the human Zodiac Saints crumpled to the ground; they had almost died.

“We were dragged to the Divine world out of nowhere, and we were almost executed…!”

“If it wasn’t for Lee Gun-nim…”

On the other hand, Lee Gun tilted his head in puzzlement. “Why are you guys here? Are you here to play?”

“Of course not!!”

Seven humans had been dragged here: Lee Jaewon, Goat, Carly, Sophie, Taylor, Kevin, and an unknown reporter.

“Damn it! I was suddenly chosen as Capricorn…!” Kevin, who had been in hiding before this incident, spoke up.

Lee Gun had an understanding when he heard Kevin’s words. “I see. That was why you guys were dragged here.”

“What? Why?!”

Lee Gun acted as if it wasn’t a big deal. He pointed at the Zodiac Saints. “I ate the other Zodiacs. Since the Zodiacs were missing, they automatically dragged the second in charge. They brought the chicken instead of the pheasant.”

“What?!”

Carly screamed since she had been registered as Libra, while Goat tilted his head in puzzlement.

“Why was I chosen as Taurus…?”

Lee Jaewon clutched at Lee Gun. “W…Why was I chosen as Cancer?!”

Lee Jaewon wondered why he was recognized as Cancer among all the Zodiacs.

Lee Gun laughed. “It was my doing. The probability of me becoming a Great Spirit rose as the number of Zodiacs following me rose.”

“What?!”

In other words, Lee Gun had been working toward fulfilling the requirements needed to become a Great Spirit. This was why Iaso was chosen as the Zodiac of the Aquarius temple. Like her, he had designated the others as Zodiacs for the remaining empty temples.

If they were registered with the thrones, they didn’t need Divine status to be perceived as Zodiacs.

Sophie was in awe. “Then I am here because you designated me as Aquarius. Finally, you acknowledged my skill…!”

“No, you were dragged here instead of Iaso. You were dragged here to be executed instead of her.”

“?!”

Everyone despaired when they heard his words.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Lee Jaewon was unsteady on his feet from the shock he felt. But he soon spoke up. “Is it ok to not bring Hugo-nim here? You left him in a nest of gods….”

“I don’t care.”

“Ah! As expected, you trust Hugo-nim. That is why—”

“I ended my relationship with him.”

“What?”

“What?!!!”

Everyone was shocked, but Lee Gun merely furrowed his brows. The Zodiac Saints thought he was lying, but when they looked into his eyes, they realized he wasn’t joking.

‘Lee Gun-nim really ended his relationship with him?’

‘Why??’

Lee Gun seemed disinterested in the topic and turned around. He had more important matters to take care of.

“Master! This is bad! The gods are mobilizing toward us.”

Leo cackled when he heard that shout.

“The snake god is the only one who can fix the Divine world! They are probably coming to kowtow toward you! They should have done that in the first place!”

“No way! He smashed their houses! There is no way they’ll bow their heads before him!”

Sagittarius spoke out in anger. Their intention was obvious.

‘War.’

The Great Spirits were going to combine their strength to put pressure on Lee Gun.

If the evil gods were telling the truth, the Great Spirits had used an unknown method to assassinate the Primordial god. And Lee Gun now possessed the Primordial god in question.

‘There is no way they’ll attack haphazardly.’

The gods had lost their base, so they’d have to go elsewhere to prepare for the war.

“They’ll move to their colonies and try to accumulate as much power as they can.”

They managed their dimensions in name only. There was a reason the lands of the Zodiacs were called Colonies.

Lee Gun was the exception.

Normally, Zodiacs only took things that benefited them from the colonies. They didn’t care if the residents died or not. To the Zodiacs, the residents of their colonies were mere slaves.

For gods, it was a given that their disciples would be sacrificed.

“Your opponents number in the tens of thousands. Let’s say each of them possesses at least ten colonies. They are no joke. Earth is your only colony.”

“You might have acquired Eden’s colonies, but they are too small. In terms of supplies for war, the difference is too much.”

That wasn’t all.

“Master. Some of the enemies’ colonies are filled with overwhelmingly powerful warriors.”

“If we don’t hurry and make preparations…”

Lee Gun laughed. “Why do you think I spent so much time at Valhalla’s prison?”

“!”

Lee Gun took out something from his pocket. It was an envelope. It was filled with gems that looked to be Divine statuses.

This surprised the Constructs.

“Aren’t those magical beast gods!’

The gods had a category of animal gods. They were closer to being fantastic beasts.

Like the Creators, they were gods directly under the Primordial god. If Creators were manufacturer gods, the magical beast gods were like the Primordial god’s eyes. They took on the role of observer and differentiator.

In other words, they were high-rank gods amongst the high-rank gods.

‘However, all those gods had suddenly disappeared.’

Mimir looked surprised. “How did you…!”

“You told me before. The magical beast gods were the ones who originally looked over the colonies.”

“Yes. I did tell you that, but….”

However, Mimir had never expected Lee Gun to actually bring them.

The Constructs were taken aback as they approached Lee Gun.

“We heard a rumor that Valhalla had captured them, but…”

“Those assholes… They killed all the magical beast gods, yet they didn’t let them go through the process of inheritance?”

“No. I killed half of them.”

“What?!!!’

“As soon as they saw me, they accused me of stealing the Primordial god. They tried to kill me.”

“….”

The gods clutched at their faces.

Lee Gun ignored them as he used the power of Life.

This worried everyone.

“There are a lot of them. Are you sure about reviving all of them at once? You’ll have to expend an incredible amount of power since they are the magical beast gods…!”

“What if the enemies attack while you are recovering? It’ll be dangerous!”

Lee Gun merely let out a bright smile as he lifted Heaven’s Punishment. Then he brought it down against the ground.

Kwah-jeek!!

“Kuh-huhk!!”

At the same time, a god hiding underground screamed as he vomited blood. He had been spying on Lee Gun to pass on information.

When Lee Gun killed him, an enormous light appeared within the envelope.

[The Divine item of Life is using its power.]

[The death of an enemy has been used as the power of revival.]

Accompanying the notification, revived beasts shot out of the envelope.

[The magical beasts are awakening.]

[The magical beasts are awakening.]

“I don’t have to use my power with this.”

This scene moved everyone.

Lee Gun had revived the magical beasts using the Divine item of Life.

This shocked the gods monitoring him from a distance.

‘He revived the magical beasts!’

‘No! The magical beasts are capable of taking back the colonies!’

‘We have to notify everyone before he revives all of them…!’

At that moment…

‘…!’

Those gods felt chills run up their backs. They met eyes with Lee Gun, who held up Heaven’s Punishment. Lee Gun smirked as he immediately threw the weapon.

Kwahng!!!

The ax flew like a boomerang as it pierced through the gods’ heads. The light of Life surged forth a couple more times.

Flash! Flash!

Finally, all the magical beasts within the envelope had been revived.

Koo-goo-goong!!

“…!”

These magical beasts were gods who were surprisingly strong. However, the Constructs looked on with worry.

“Magical beasts are proud beings. I wonder if they will bow to Master…”

Then, something unexpected happened.
