It was a massive fang.
Its length alone might be several meters. The fang slung over Yi Geon's shoulder was already mammoth-sized by its bulk alone. It was enough to crush Yi Geon.
But the sight of him calmly supporting it with one hand made the Constellation Gods flinch in terror.
And perhaps because Stephen had brushed it well, it looked like highly polished ivory, but it was unmistakably a tooth!
Moreover, there was no way they wouldn't know whose it was.
As evidence, the incarnated Constellation Gods were in an uproar.
[The masters are terrified by the beastly smell on the tooth]
[The masters are horrified, asking why that is there]
[They are baffled, asking who on earth dared pull out whose tooth]
Kevin, who had dismissed his Constellation God and returned to normal, was also appalled.
No matter what, the situation was that the Constellation God of Cancer was personally descending. He thought that even at a loss, a direct descent by a Constellation God was more appropriate.
So he tried to use the direct descent skill instead of possession descent, but...
"What is that! It's not a monster, but I can feel the power of a Constellation God from it?"
"Of course you do. It's the tooth of the Constellation God Leo."
At Hugo's answer, Kevin almost screamed.
"Are you crazy?! He pulled out a Constellation God's tooth?"
He had an expression that said how could one dare touch a god's body, but Hugo clicked his tongue.
"Well, he's the guy who took Stephen's arm saying he'd use it as material, so why wouldn't he use a Constellation God's tooth?"
"?!"
The extraction itself was amazing, but a god's body as material?
I didn't see it myself, but I could imagine the expression on my friend's face as he pulled it out.
'His grin would have been ear to ear, definitely.'
The Constellation God whose perfectly good tooth was suddenly pulled must have been very angry.
As expected.
[The Constellation God of Leo, the Lord of the Golden Beast, demands to know what you are doing with his tooth]
[The Lord of the Golden Beast tells you to hand over his tooth right now]
[He is furious, asking if you know how long it takes for a tooth to grow]
[He is angry, saying he hasn't been able to chew meat all this time]
[He says the fur on his stripped back skin isn't growing either]
[He warns that if you don't bring it now, he'll lay waste to the sanctuary]
Surely, he was grinding his teeth and watching him from the divine realm.
But Yi Geon completely ignored it.
"If you can't chew meat, ask for an implant or something."
Cheap bastards with so much money.
At the same time, Yi Geon threw the massive fang into the sky.
And shouted.
"Limey."
As if answering the call, the slime that had been transformed into Yi Geon's nail clipper emitted light.
And with that, something amazing happened.
The slime changed shape, stretching long like clay, and wrapped around the fang.
And then it extended its body again and combined with the handle of Celestial Judgement that Yi Geon was holding.
"!"
The slime was substituting for part of the broken body of Celestial Judgement.
[It taps Celestial Judgement, telling it to wake up]
[It cannot answer]
[Its presence cannot be felt]
At this, Yi Geon furrowed his brow.
Yi Geon cherished his creations like his own children. There was no way he felt good about that notification.
Moreover, Celestial Judgement had been his partner since he was inexperienced as an Awakener.
It was one made in the early days, and it was the guy that filled in his shortcomings during battle.
Well, he, as its owner, was the first to realize that its life ended the moment it was completely shattered.
'I will thoroughly avenge you.'
To think they looked down on it as mortal material.
Yi Geon's eyes flashed.
Along with that, the makeshift weapon wrapped around the fang spewed black light.
At that sight, the Constellation God of Cancer seemed flustered.
Actually, it was inevitable.
The Constellation God of Leo was inherently a god of attack. He was one of the gods with the strongest offensive power.
To metaphorize, he could be compared to the strongest of spears.
Of course, such a thing had never been used as material, and no one even thought of using it, but that was the body of a god of attack.
Its power would be on a different dimension from a weapon made of mortal materials.
Even if it was a crude form like a roughly made stone tool!
Then.
Boom!
Yi Geon raised the weapon embedded with the fang.
At this, the Constellation God of Cancer stepped back as if flustered.
It was a different appearance from when he held an axe.
That form was like a reaper holding a scythe.
Without time to be flustered by that appearance, Yi Geon vanished in an instant.
Even though it was roughly connected with slime, there was no hindrance to its attack.
[It is imbued with the power of the Lord of the Golden Beast]
[Obsession] [Sadism] [Bluff] [Piercing power that cuts off breath] [Bleeding] [Mangling] [Bloodsucking] [Elatedness] [Hypersensitivity] [Majestic bearing] [Snapping]
[Different stats are granted for each trait]
[A tremendous power is felt]
[It draws on the residual stats remaining in the fang]
Yi Geon, who had run up to the front of the Constellation God of Cancer, jumped high.
And using the crustacean legs of the Constellation God of Cancer as footholds, he jumped and jumped!
Before he knew it, Yi Geon had climbed atop the Constellation God of Cancer's head.
Meanwhile, the Vassal Gods of Cancer interfered with Yi Geon, but to no avail.
[Kyaaak!]
[Aak!]
The bodies of the Vassal Gods that approached were turned to ash and disappeared in the black light emitted by Yi Geon.
[Its power partially awakens]
The black light had erased the Vassal Gods' bodies.
Hands, feet, heads. Should I say their bodies vanished exactly where the light touched?
Thanks to that, the Vassal Gods who had flown into the sky crashed back to the ground in terror.
Simultaneously, Yi Geon raised the scythe-like makeshift weapon high.
At this, the flustered Constellation God of Cancer, the Lord of the Dark Star, scoffed.
I've never seen a guy do such a thing with a Constellation God's body, but...
[A mere chick. Do you think pulling out a cat's tooth will do anything!]
Finally, Yi Geon's weapon struck down on the torso of Cancer.
Boom!
A tremendous flash of light clashed.
In that flash, the Constellation Gods tensed up.
But the masters were not greatly concerned.
[They say that even so, Cancer's body is quite sturdy]
[They roll their eyes, asking if it could even wound with something that doesn't even look like a weapon]
But that very moment.
Kugugung!
With a great explosion, Hugo and Kevin groaned.
Because they felt like they'd be swept away by the fierce storm that came with the flash.
'That Yi Geon, this bastard.'
He was a corpse, but maybe because he had killed a Monarch and leveled up.
It was tremendous power.
A power that humans, no, even numerous Vassal Gods could feel fear from.
As expected of the Master of the Divine Throne who leads countless Stars of Glory (Vassals).
Constellation Gods are those among countless gods who are qualified as masters of divine thrones.
Like a galaxy, beings who can gather and summon countless floating stars.
Among gods, those chosen as masters of Divine Thrones have extraordinary power from the start.
And at this moment when the powers of those masters clash.
Boom!
A flash erupted, and the sea surrounding the sanctuary shook greatly.
It was a shock as if the sky was splitting apart.
And the moment the light vanished, the lightning-shaped Constellation Gods moved urgently.
[The masters hastily examine the state of the Dark Star]
[They say it was that much power. They tremble, saying it wouldn't be possible to pass without a single wound]
But right then.
[What wound.]
The Constellation God of Cancer laughed amidst the dust cloud.
Yi Geon's weapon had struck down on its body, but well.
Because the fang hadn't been able to break the shell of the crab, which was like iron armor.
It only scratched the surface.
So the Constellation Gods were relieved.
[They say indeed, a mere chick]
[They say there's no need to be unnecessarily scared]
As the Constellation Gods laughed and the Constellation God of Cancer reached out its arm, that moment.
Crack!
"!?"
The sturdy body that made up the Constellation God of Cancer split.
Centered around where Yi Geon had struck.
Simultaneously, screams resounded.
[A fissure has appeared in the Constellation God, the Lord of the Dark Star]
[You have succeeded in stripping off the shell of the Dark Star]
The Constellation Gods also stirred.
[The masters stir, saying the cat's tooth really penetrated the crab shell]
[They are horrified, saying they thought the cat's tooth would break, but it's unexpected]
[The Lord of the Golden Beast gets angry, asking if you're ignoring his tooth]
Just then, the ground shook.
Boom!
It was Cancer.
"!"
The surprised Hugo and Kevin looked at the Constellation God of Cancer. They wondered if it still had the capacity to exert power.
So they, who had trusted Yi Geon, eventually knelt down on one knee as if they could not help it.
It was a preparation for a ritual.
"Divine Bow! I summon the Constellation God!"
"Damn, as expected, one person isn't enough...!"
But that was also brief.
The two saints looking at the Constellation God of Cancer were horrified for some reason.
Even Yi Geon laughed as if interested.
That was natural.
'I had suspected it.'
It was so.
The problem was the contents of the Constellation God of Cancer revealed as the hard shell of the crab peeled off.
And at that sight, the Constellation Gods also flinched.
[The masters are stirring]
[The masters curse, saying isn't this a bit much]
Because what was seen inside the broken shell were none other than the souls of gods.
They must have been what it had eaten all this time.
But what was even more horrifying was the true identity of Cancer, which had devoured those souls.
"As expected, half of you is that side, isn't it."
Yi Geon, who had already seen a Monarch, was certain.
'Unknown Civilization.'
Half was a Constellation God, but that was already a monster. Whether it was corrupted or had been mixed from the start was unclear.
And at those words, the Constellation Gods who appeared as incarnations stirred. It could only be panic.
But Yi Geon laughed.
'Well, if not, there's no way the Celestial Balance would have been easily connected to the Unknown Civilization.'
And there was no way Jang Rui would have dropped him into that trap.
In the first place, the authority itself that devours the power of Constellation Gods resembles that side.
'Well, it seems there were Constellation Gods who already knew.'
Yi Geon glared at some of the calm ones among the Constellation Gods who appeared as incarnations.
But now, something else was important.
"You worm-like bastard. I'll finish you off."
At those words, the Constellation God of Cancer, with its shell peeled off, flashed its eyes.
[The Dark Star says there won't be a second time]
[It laughs, asking if the same method will work again]
[The Dark Star used Body Reinforcement]
At this, Yi Geon raised the corners of his mouth.
"Whose sanctuary do you think this is?"
[!]
With that, Yi Geon's eyes flashed.
[Creation Workshop]
And then, something amazing happened.
Kugugugung!
"!"
With a green light, the fang of the Lion God blazed.
[It draws the flames of the Second Sanctuary (Workshop)]
[It carves the god's body with divine power]
[The characteristic of the Serpent Bearer Constellation is granted]
[Critical Hit] [Sharp]
Kwajijik!
It was so rough that it couldn't be used on ordinary materials, but truly a sight of a weapon being created in real time!
Along with green lightning, the tip of the fang was ground down.
Kwagwagwang!
And in the place where the lightning vanished, a sharp cross-section gradually revealed itself!
The increasingly polished fang truly transformed into a scythe that seemed like it could slice even souls.
At that sight, Cancer seemed to feel death instinctively.
As expected.
[The Dark Star requests a deal with its fellow Constellation God, the Lord of Vajra]
[It says that if it's the strongest shield, it can block even a cat's tooth and the power of the calamity god]
At that deal request, a brown turtle that had been flying around as a lightning-shaped incarnation flinched.
It was Taurus.
In the end, at Cancer's request, the turtle briefly hesitated and then tried to unleash power.
But.
"Too late."
Yi Geon swung the scythe-shaped tooth. As if he wouldn't leave any of the Constellation Gods alone.
"Especially the one who cursed me with hair loss and foot... that goddamn bastard, he's really dead."
Finally, the power of death clashed with the Constellation God of Cancer.
Boom!
A huge explosion occurred.
At that moment, one star was extinguished.
It was death.
