“He messed with something he shouldn’t have.”

Sagittarius felt a chill run up his spine when he saw Lee Gun’s evil smile. That smile gave off an ominous feeling.

Sagittarius started to sweat as he extended his hand. “Nephew, what do you mean he messed with something shouldn’t have? How much more of a mess are you going to make in the Divine world?”

Divine beings lived here!! His uncle desperately yelled out loud, but Lee Gun just glared at him as if he was speaking nonsense. “What are you saying? I’ve been very quiet until now.”

“?!”

Was this bastard really that oblivious?! Did he not realize who had caused all this mess in Olympus? Was this how it was??

The oblivious Lee Gun extended his hand. He was trying to call Heaven’s Punishment. Since the weapon was made with the intent of using it on monsters, Lee Gun didn’t know if it would work well against the gods. 

However, he wanted to decapitate Hades with it.

“Tsk. As expected, I can’t take out my weapon.” Lee Gun furrowed his brow as he waved his hand through the empty air.

As soon as he had entered the Divine world, his Constructs and most of his items had entered his shadow. Since he had carved a seal into Heaven’s Punishment, it was supposed to be summoned. However, it was unable to come out.

[Heaven’s Punishment cannot come out of the shadows.]

[Heaven’s Punishment is sad.]

Sagittarius tilted his head in puzzlement. “You can’t summon it? That’s odd. I gave you a personal reference, so the restriction should have been lifted.”

The Divine world hated gods without money. Since it was a world set up like that, it had a lot of betty criminals with minor transgressions.

When one developed a criminal history, one couldn’t use one’s items and abilities. However, high-rank gods could provide gems and a reference to release the restriction.

‘It should have been released earlier.’

Lee Gun grumbled as he opened his hands. “Something odd happened to my skills too.”

Before he entered the Divine world, it said [LOCK] on skills. However, when the lock was released, something even stranger appeared.

- Divine Achievement (0)

- Divine Status -

[Life] Ability (3-star ability and two others)

[Death] Ability (3-star ability and two others)

[???] (3=star ability and one other)

The shape of his skills had changed, and something unknown had appeared. At that moment…

[You aren’t registered as a resident of the Divine world.]

[Please hurry and register yourself as a resident.]

[Since you haven’t received citizenship, you cannot use your weapon. You need permission.]

When Lee Gun heard the voice coming from the thin air, he glanced at Sagittarius. “Hey. It says I wasn’t registered as a resident. What do I have to do?”

Sagittarius looked taken aback. He didn’t register as a resident?

“How did you get in? How were you not registered?”

“Well, they were evaluating my face and items. They also made me wait.”

“Evaluation? Did you enter through the arrivals hall?”

“Ah. That’s right. I think so. Well, it was all very annoying, so I just passed through it. I smashed everything to enter this place.”

Sagittarius's face was a sight to behold. “You were the one to destroy the point of entry!!!” He screamed.

Currently, the Entry Offices of the Divine world were a mess. It was said that they had suffered a terrorist attack!

“You caused 5.6 million unidentified gods to enter the Divine world, bastard!!”

This was why the civil employees were on high alert and the Great Spirit in charge of the entry offices was aggravated.

This was why the enraged Zodiacs were going crazy, looking for the main instigator who had entered the Divine world illegally!

“How come you can’t do anything in moderation? At the very least, you should have kept it low-key when coming in!”

“Who cares? I don’t care about the gods.”

Sagittarius was crazy and exasperated by his nephew’s attitude.

‘He’s driving me nuts!’

When he thought about it, he was hiding an incredible criminal.

‘I thought he messed with only Olympus!’

Sagittarius had never expected this, yet events had turned out like this…

‘If he gets caught, I’m dead too.’

In the end, Sagittarius grabbed his nephew’s shoulders as if he had lost his mind. “Why didn't you go through the easier routes? Why did you have to go through the entry office route?”

“What? There are other routes?”

“Of course, there are! Don’t you have Constructs?

“You could have registered residency as a low-rank Zodiac, and you would have been able to come into the Divine world easily!”

Lee Gun’s face crumpled at those words.

‘Did I do all of that in vain?’

Well, it didn’t matter.

“It’s fine. I’ve already entered this place. I want you to introduce me to Hades’s enemies.”

Sagittarius was about to say something when a sound rang out.

Dingdong!

“!”

Accompanying the clear bell sound, a hologram appeared in the corner of the room. It seemed to be a front gate connected to the private residence. The ones who had pressed the doorbell appeared on the hologram. They were a pair of beings.

[We have received a tip.]

[It was said that you’re hiding an illegal entrant here. May we enter?]

Lee Gun smirked, while Sagittarius inwardly screamed.

* * *

Around that time…

“Why the hell is that snake bastard in Olympus?” Hades was angry.

He had to get a handle on this situation before the Great Spirit became aware of it. It would be a toss if he could receive forgiveness from the other gods and was able to accomplish this.

However, Lee Gun already being inside Olympus changed everything!

Hades gritted his teeth. “Who let him into Olympus?”

His reaction was understandable, since this was the mighty Olympus. It wasn’t a place one could enter without permission.

‘Someone let him in, and this person is hiding the snake god.’

The only being capable of doing such a thing was a Zodiac belonging to the Olympus faction! This meant that someone had worked with the snake god to put Olympus in this state.

‘I don’t know who it is, but I’ll kill him alongside the snake god.’

In the end, Hades held Lee Gun’s item, which he wanted his Constructs to get a scent from. Raising his arms, he used his divine power. “As an owner of a Dimensional floor and a main god of Olympus, I command you. Search the register of the Divine world. Find the owner of this item by searching all of Olympus.”

At the same time, a surprising light erupted. Strands of light emerged from the floor and surged into the sky.

[The god who fits the parameters is being tracked.]

The strands went to the first, second, and third floors of Olympus. It then spread into the entire region.

[The exact location of the applicable god cannot be found.]

“What?!”

[The applicable god is not registered as a resident of the Divine world. He is an unregistered god.]

[Since there is no information, the tracking skill of the Divine world doesn’t work on him.]

“What the hell?”

He was an unregistered god. It was something impossible.

[Either he didn’t properly register himself or he smuggled himself through the entry office.]

[Currently, the entry offices are destroyed, so not even the records are left. That is why he cannot be found…]

Hades grabbed the back of his neck. If Lee Gun had smuggled himself into the Divine world, he would be able to completely evade the Divine world’s tracking.

“Why the hell did he enter through that method when he is a Zodiac?”

This meant the other gods wouldn’t be able to find him. 

‘If someone is hiding him, I’ll never be able to find him.’

The snake god being secretly let into Olympus meant that this was the deed of a high-rank god.

With this dragging out longer, the Great Spirits would find out about this much quicker.

Therefore, Hades’s Constructs started sweating as they asked the question.

“Excuse me, Master. I’m sorry for bringing this up, but didn’t the snake god come here just to find his Construct?”

“!”

“If we tell him where the 600%-faith Construct is, wouldn't the snake god go there? If so, wouldn’t it be better to go there and set up an ambush—”

“We can’t do that.” Hades cut off their words as he furrowed his brows.

The reason was the location. Even if the snake god were informed about Hugo’s location, the probability of Lee Gun regaining Hugo was low. However, Hades didn’t want to go asking for trouble. Above all else…

‘The 600%-faith Construct isn’t a normal Construct.’

Hades wasn’t just thinking of Hugo’s faith of 600%. When Hugo’s soul had entered the netherworld, Hades had found out an unexpected truth.

[Oh, Master of the afterlife, this is a very odd soul.]

The three goddesses of fate, who had a deep connection to the netherworld, told Hades about Hugo.

[This soul possesses an unimaginable number of Achievements.]

[Achievements?]

[I don’t know what he did in his past life, but even an evil god would have a hard time amassing this many Achievements.]

It wasn’t a normal soul when even the goddesses of fate gave him a warning.

‘This is a bigger deal than I thought.’

The fact that he had a lot of Achievements meant that he had a lot of internal energy. There was no way Hades would let such a soul go.

“Whatever. He’ll come out if I place a curse on him”

“A curse?”

Instead of answering, Hades took up the glass bottle that he had used to find Lee Gun’s location. If he had someone’s item, he could place the curse of death on him. It was an easy task for the god of death.

Hades smirked as he used his ability on the item dropped by Lee Gun.

[Curse of the Netherworld (5-star)]

This ability has risks associated with it, but this was a fatal curse even to a god. It was much more effective against a Zodiac with defensive abilities.

Finally, the curse directed toward Lee Gun infused itself into the glass bottle.

Flash!

“…!”

Hades was surprised. Lee Gun’s glass bottle suddenly activated, and something popped out. It was an unknown figure.

“Master!!”

At a glance, she looked to be an absolute beauty.

Hades became guarded when he saw the woman.

“What kind of energy is this…!”

She was neither a god nor a human.

He instinctively felt danger, so he was about to move to a different location. However…

Pah-gahk!!!

The unknown figure hit Hades on the head, and Hades fell to the ground.

* * *

“Over here! He ran away in this direction!”

“We received a tip! An intruder came into Olympus!”

“It’s an illegal entrant!”

Lee Gun and his uncle were being chased by the gods of Olympus. Of course, Sagittarius didn’t need to run away, but everything had to do with Lee Gun.

If Lee Gun hadn’t entered the Divine world illegally, Sagittarius having hidden Lee Gun wouldn’t have been a problem!

“Damn it, nephew! You should just go back home!!!”

“Fuck off, baldie!”

In the end, they exited Sagittarius’s private residence and hid in the enormous garden of Olympus. 

Sagittarius clicked his tongue. “They are civil employees of the Divine world. They can use Ability Restriction skills.”

In other words, they had the disarmament skill. Sagittarius had been labeled as an accomplice, so he was also targeted with this skill.

Lee Gun smirked as if he didn’t care. He didn’t mind fighting head-on here, but he would have a hard time moving through Olympus in this environment. It seemed this was related to his Divine status too.

“Won’t we be able to escape this place if we have Persephone? I think she has some kind of escape skill.”

“What? Why are you suddenly bringing up Persephone? Why would she be here in the first place?”

“Why else? I stole her away from the tenth floor.”

Sagittarius screamed when he realized what had happened. “Ah!!! What did you steal this time around?”

Instead of answering him, Lee Gun summoned Piggy Bank (Pixiu). The Construct looked glad to see its owner. It was laboring from being too full.

“B-Boo-oh??”

“Whatever! Let’s cut your stomach open. I don’t know how you were able to eat her, but I need to take out Persephone, the one you ate.”

“Boo-oh?!!!”

Lee Gun held up a knife and approached Pixiu as though he would cut its stomach open.

Pixiu cried out. It wanted to avoid that outcome at all costs.

“Over there! It’s Sagittarius!”

“Tsk!”

Voices rang in the distance.

The uncle and nephew had been hiding behind the tree. They clicked their tongues as they got ready to fight barehanded.

At that moment, the civil employee gods, who had been rushing toward Lee Gun from a distance, suddenly vomited blood. They fell to the ground.

“Kuh-huhk!!”

Lee Gun and Sagittarius tilted their heads in puzzlement.

“…?”

However, it didn’t end there.

“Those bastards…!”

When the civil employee started charging toward them once again from a distance, Lee Gun and Sagittarius brought up their blades.

Poo-hahk! Poo-hahk!!

“……????”

However, the enemies once again fell at a frightening speed.

Lee Gun and Sagittarius were confused about why their enemies were falling over, since the two of them weren’t doing anything.

If their enemies got close, it would be convenient since they could take their weapons. However…

‘What is it?’

The ones behind this weren’t the Constructs of Sagittarius.

An unknown third party seemed to be helping them, and they soon found out who.

“Koo-ahk!! Catch that human girl!”

“What? What is a human doing here?”

“Wait a— Ahhhhk!”

“Catch her! Catch that girl with the spear!”

“What the hell? Why is she so strong? Whose Construct is she?”

Sagittarius and Lee Gun flinched when they heard the sound coming from the distance. It was a very familiar and distinctive sound.

Sagittarius, who had been silent up to this point, started to sweat as he asked, “Serpent Bearer, did you bring your Zodiac Saints here?”

“Have you lost your mind? I left both of them behind so that they could guard their mother. Also, this is a road I’ve never traveled before, so I don’t know how dangerous it would be. Why would I bring my companions here?”

“What about the other Zodiac Saints?”

“I came to the Divine world by myself.”

“!!”

It was the truth. Aside from the Constructs of the Serpent Bearer temple, Lee Gun had brought no one else, since it was dangerous.

However, Sagittarius continued to sweat as he listened to the screams emanating from the distance. “They said it’s a human girl. It has to be…”

“Hey, how would Yooha enter this place? She would have had to hide somewhere without my knowledge…”

Pixiu flinched violently when it heard those words. It looked guilty.

Lee Gun’s eyes flashed at this. “We’ll just have to confirm it. I’ll open your stomach.”

“Boo-oh?!!”

“Ah! You can heal it, baldie. I can’t use Super Regeneration right now.”

“I can only cauterize the wound?”

“That’s fine.”

“Ggooo-ehhhhhhk!!!!”

When it heard that its stomach would be cut open and cauterized, Pixiu sniffled and desperately tried to vomit. It vomited all the items within itself.

“!!!”

Sagittarius was shocked by the items Pixiu desperately vomited. Lee Gun also flinched.

Pixiu had spat out Yooha’s bag and other various belongings, proof that someone had been hiding within its stomach.

Lee Gun felt a bit faint when he heard his enemies scream in the distance.

‘Yooha followed me in secret!’

Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwahng!

This time, a sound came from the opposite side. It came from Hades’s side.

Sagittarius turned pale from fright when he heard the sounds of gods dying. He turned to look at Lee Gun.

“Who else did you bring with you?”
