Lee Geon flushed with anger.
No, what the hell was this bastard spouting while he was gone?
Hailey's eyes rounded in surprise as well.
But irrespective of that, Hugo kept tilting his head as he looked at Lee Geon.
"Pardon me, but who are you? From the aura of the Serpent Lord Seat, you must be of the Serpent Lord Seat..."
Was this bastard for real?
"Do you perhaps know where our Holy God is?"
It was just as Lee Geon, utterly dumbfounded, was about to say something.
Hugo suddenly let out a scream.
"Ah!!"
"!"
Had his memory perhaps returned?
Hugo couldn't raise his head, as if he was truly sorry toward Lee Geon.
"Ah, how embarrassing. My head must have been a mess for a moment. How could I have failed to recognize you?"
At those words, Lee Geon, who had been about to raise his fist, let out a snort.
Well, he understood.
That bastard was capable of erasing even the Silver Monarch and gods.
"Yeah, that could happen. Well, if your memory's back, that's fin..."
"My goodness, you were the Vassal God! Right! Of course our Holy God couldn't be this handsome!"
Squick.
What did he just say?
But whether he knew it or not.
"That's right, the God Seat needs a face representative. You've come at a good time. Frankly, our Holy God isn't a great role model. He's got a shitty temper, and the saints who try to come get chased away by his own looks... Keuk!!!"
A fist slammed into Hugo's chin.
"Dad!!"
The merciless uppercut sent Hugo flying through the air before he collapsed.
Lee Geon cracking his knuckles was just a bonus.
"This bastard hasn't come to his senses. No, it's beyond not coming to. Has your sanity escaped to Andromeda?"
"Kuh, keuk! Vassal God?! Why are you suddenly... Ugh!!"
"Who's a Vassal God, you bastard!!"
Eyes flashing, Lee Geon leaped into the air.
Then a dropkick exploded onto Hugo's head!
Hugo's following screams were a bonus.
"Kya-huk! Keheuk!"
Like a bee, Lee Geon's fists pummeled down on Hugo.
Of course, he wasn't just hitting him for nothing.
[Pain Resurrection]
"Keheok!!"
[Super Regeneration]
"Aaargh!!"
[Serpent's Venom (Toughness Increase)]
"Puhak!!"
[Obtained data on Hugo Oters]
[Hugo Oters' experience has increased (Endured the attack of a Divine-level monster)]
[Toughness slightly enhanced]
"Ah, now that I think about it, it pisses me off. I remember you, but this bastard doesn't remember me?"
"Keheok! Keuheok!"
"Anyway, it's fine for me to forget you, but you mustn't forget me!"
"What?! Hey!"
"And after borrowing 10 million won from me!"
"Ah, no! I don't think that ever happened... Puhak!!!"
Hugo, taking the hits, was truly wronged. Of course, every time Lee Geon hit him, his experience oddly rose, but that was a secondary issue.
'Lee Geon, this bastard's for real!'
It was true.
That Hugo hadn't remembered Lee Geon was the truth, but even at this moment, as he was getting beaten, his memory was halfway back.
Whether it was the aftermath of getting hit, or the Serpent Lord's power recovering over time, he wasn't sure.
Anyway, his memory had started to return from the middle, but what the hell?
He can forget me, but I can't forget him?
And even slyly making up a nonexistent debt of 10 million won?
'What does this bastard think of a friend!'
And to top it off, he'd toyed with him earlier, pretending not to remember!
Bearing a grudge, Hugo ground his teeth.
Now that it's come to this, he'll only realize how precious I am once I disappear!
Perhaps because of that.
"No, who the hell are you to do this? Who are your parents? Honestly, I still don't know who you are...!"
At those words, Lee Geon flushed with anger.
"This bastard dares to forget me?"
And then it happened.
"Kieeek!!!"
"!"
Red eyes, as if heated, roared toward Hugo.
Were they reprimanding Hugo for not recognizing his master?
Lee Geon smiled in satisfaction.
"Right. Good boy. At least you come here."
But then.
"Kieeek!!!"
"?!"
Red Eyes attacked Lee Geon.
As if telling a lowly human not to touch its prey, Red Eyes bared its teeth fiercely and charged at Lee Geon.
At this, Lee Geon's face flushed with anger.
"These bastards are for real!!"
Ultimately, the enraged Lee Geon raised Heaven's Punishment.
And then.
Ppakak!!!!
He mercilessly smashed the head of the charging Red Eyes.
"Kieeek!!"
In the end, Red Eyes collapsed pitifully, vomiting blood.
Koogung!!
With its head smashed, Red Eyes convulsed weakly like a blood-soaked pickle.
"Ki... Kieek."
Its tough skull, which had suffered no injury from human weapons, had been turned to powder by the strength of Lee Geon's arm.
"Bastard's trying to die, not even remembering your master."
"Ki... Kieek."
Red Eyes shed tears, facing its 24,788th death.
Then, after shaking off the blood, Lee Geon's eyes flashed as he looked at Hugo.
"So. You say you don't remember me either?"
Hugo went deathly pale.
"Ah, no!! I remember! I remember!!!"
At those words, it seemed like a light shot from Lee Geon's eyes.
"Liar. As far as I can see, you don't remember me. So I'll fix you."
"??!!!"
The flustered Hugo stepped back and tried to flee.
"Don't worry. Even if I look this way, I'm good at fixing things. I'm a blacksmith, after all."
"Aaargh! No! I remember! I was wrong!"
"Too late."
Lee Geon pulled out Heaven's Punishment, which he'd seemed to have put away.
"Aaargh! Geon!!!"
Finally, with a ghostly laugh, Hugo let out a scream.
Kwang!
A loud sound echoed.
In the end, with a scream, Hugo fainted.
Seeing this, Lee Geon snorted.
"Bastard, faking a faint when it's not even real."
Heaven's Punishment shone and turned into a slime. The slime looked at the unconscious Hugo and wriggled as if proud of a job well done.
Then Lee Geon placed the delighted slime on his head.
"Alright, now."
Lee Geon glared up at the sky.
The Oblivion he had burst out of was thrashing violently.
Gooo!
It was trying to escape the barrier of the Magic God Seat.
Undoubtedly, the Magic God Seat's barrier binding it was getting in its way.
That's why he had no choice but to be on guard.
'To not die even after taking that attack.'
He had no idea what its body was made of.
There was just one thing that bothered him.
[Part of 's Flesh]
He'd torn some off to analyze whether it could be used as material, but the description was the problem.
[The aura of the original owner can be felt]
[It is the flesh of the one who was once a Holy God]
At the voice he heard, Lee Geon could only furrow his brow.
Why was the aura of a Holy God, no, the original owner, felt from 's flesh?
'Did the gods it devoured accumulate in its intestines?'
Or maybe...
'Surely Oblivion isn't...'
And it was then.
'!'
Finally, Oblivion broke through the barrier and came out, and Lee Geon's eyes blazed.
And then.
Kwang!!!!
As Lee Geon swung Heaven's Punishment, a death ray pierced through Oblivion.
Goooo!
It was tremendous damage.
[Experience gained]
[Destroyed part of 's flesh]
[Obtained data on 's Authority]
Perhaps because it had been struck by 's power, flinched for some reason.
And , which had been roaring fiercely, then disappeared as if giving up on something, as though it had realized something.
At this, Lee Geon passed judgment.
Because he had already confirmed there was no sign of Yeonwoo inside Oblivion's body.
'It doesn't seem to have been erased; time must have taken him.'
There was a clue that it was obsessively fixated on the 13th Holy God's ability.
Anyway, the root of all this is the Magic God Seat.
Well, thanks to that, he met the one he wanted to meet, and obtained data, but it was still infuriating.
The reason was that inside Oblivion, he had read an unexpected memory.
He didn't know whose memory it was, but it was a memory of a familiar boy being killed by someone.
-Tell me. Where is your family?
-Piss off. I don't have a family.
That was yet another family member, Yeonwoo's younger brother Junwoo.
And was the one they met on the day Yeonwoo died. So he'd thought that child was unrelated.
'I was sure he had died caught up in a monster.'
That's what he had thought.
But Lee Geon detected the aura of the other Twin God Seat's Holy God, who had already fled.
'Well, seems he's already run away.'
Nevertheless, for some reason, Lee Geon's lips curled upward.
* * *
Meanwhile, around that time.
'Damn!'
Frey, transformed into a hawk, was hastily flying through the fog.
He had never imagined that Lee Geon would come out of there alive.
'Now there's no choice but to join hands with the Fish.'
The remaining Holy Gods were now only himself, the Fish, and the Scorpion Seat.
The Scorpion was a coward who left everything to the adult and didn't show himself, so that aside, the Fish Holy God was immensely strong.
'She's the one who made the original owners sick.'
Hadn't she been the one to hear the secret method to kill the original owners from Mimire and carry it out?
At the same time, she killed the 13th Holy God Yeonwoo, killed him again, and in the end, even cruelly killed his younger brother.
And finally, she was the one who even summoned the Monarchs to kill Yeonwoo just before his awakening, along with his companion Lee Geon.
In terms of sheer viciousness, she was the worst among the 12 Holy Gods.
'Anyway, I'm heading to the Fish's sanctuary.'
They could still stop Lee Geon.
But it was then.
Just as Frey tried to use teleportation, their specialty.
[Heuk!]
A flash of lightning, and the teleport wouldn't activate. Frey let out a curse.
[It's not working here either!]
That's right.
He had tried to teleport to the Fish Holy God the moment Lee Geon came out of Oblivion.
But the teleport wouldn't work.
Well, he could guess the reason.
Sure enough.
"It's useless."
"You can't get out of here anyway, fool!!"
Along with the voices, Frey let out a curse.
[Keheok!]
It was because a massive pillar of fire fell from the sky and engulfed Frey.
Koogugung!!
Soon, the violent pillar of fire transformed into a snake and fiercely coiled around Frey.
At the same time, something around Frey sparkled and burst into flames.
[Heuk! My sibling's holy relic!]
It was the imperial holy relic of the Twin God Seat, the younger sibling's winged garment.
And as the item burned, Frey, who had been in the form of a hawk, returned to his original form.
[You bastards!]
Frey's eyes blazed as he looked back.
But that was only for a moment; Frey couldn't help but scream.
[Keuk!]
The Cheon siblings, who had chased after Frey, attacked with expressions angrier than ever before.
"I absolutely won't let you bastard off easy."
[......!!]
At the same time, Frey was startled when he confirmed their faces.
Their faces were different from usual.
"Because of you bastards, we, to our uncle... to our uncle!"
"Just how many black histories did we write because of that bastard!!!"
A murderous intent so intense that even a Holy God might flinch for a moment.
And just thinking about the earlier incident made their faces turn crimson, causing them to shiver in fury.
"The Magic God Seats each had two thrones, right?"
At the same time, a familiar magical power rose from Cheon Seongjae's body.
"Since the goddess's side was the throne of magic, yours would naturally be the throne that manages fairies, right?"
At that magical power, Frey ground his teeth.
He had no choice.
'My sibling's!'
It was unmistakable.
Since they had taken his sibling's throne, they had already merged half of it and could use magical authority.
[A mere human, daring to use my sibling's power!]
Frey's eyes blazed.
Of course, he could roughly guess why he couldn't use teleport here.
'He must have had the Scribe alter the Bible.'
The Bible corresponding to the Genesis page had been shattered to kill his sibling, but Lee Geon's side still had their Bible.
They were using it to bind him to this land.
In fact, that guess was right.
[And the God of Abundance did not return to the divine realm, but remained there for 30 days, enriching the land of the servants, so the servants were moved and shed tears for the God]
▶
[And the God of Abundance did not return to the divine realm, but remained there for 30 days, Ah f*** I don't know, anyway this bastard can't escape!!! So stop stabbing me now!!! Amㅇㄴㅁahng ㅜㅜ save me]
The Scribe seemed to have altered the Bible while being stabbed by the loyal fountain pen.
Thus, Frey could neither use magic nor return to the divine realm.
But that only made Frey more heated.
[To what extent will you treat a Holy God as a fool.]
If you cannot leave the land, then simply annihilate the land itself!
As expected.
As Frey of the Birds’ eyes flashed, a powerful light surged forth.
‘A Holy God can destroy even a continent if they set their mind to it!’
The reason they don’t is because the holy cities are their very power.
In other words, such a tiny piece of land!
But that was the moment.
The instant the Holy God’s magic, like a nuclear explosion, was triggered!
Flash!
Cheon Seongjae’s eyes flashed as if he had been waiting.
“Sister!!”
Cheon Seongjae activated [ ] and Cheon Yuha drove the Judgment of the Earth into the ground.
Then, a flash of lightning!
[Red Flash]
The lightning writhing like a dragon connected somewhere and drew a circle upon the earth.
And at the shape of the traced straight line, Frey had an ‘oh no’ moment.
‘This magic circle is!’
Without a doubt, Magic Reversal!
Frey, bloodshot eyes bulging, tried to destroy the circle, but Cheon Seongjae was a step faster.
[Brisingamen]
He threw a familiar holy relic over Frey’s head.
That was the necklace relic of his younger sibling Freyja.
[……!]
As soon as Frey’s gaze was stolen, Cheon Seongjae cast a spell on the necklace.
[Size Increase]
At last, the golden necklace instantly grew larger than Frey.
And the moment that enlarged necklace slipped over Frey’s torso like a hula hoop!
[Binding]
[Weight Increase]
The necklace instantly shrank and wrapped around Frey’s body.
[Keoheok!]
Being a holy relic of the gods, even a Holy God could not easily break it. Moreover, he could not move due to the weight.
In the end, as if his internal organs would burst out, his body constricted, Frey’s eyes became bloodshot.
[This is my younger sibling’s magic!]
Just as Igeon had brought Freyja’s magical authority, Cheon Seongjae’s magical power had also strengthened.
Furthermore, Frey had lost his other half, and in that unstable state, he had exhausted all his holy seat energy.
But did the siblings have no intention of going easy on him at all?
“First, you brat, you won’t die a clean death.”
[Wait...!]
[Magic Reversal]
The magic activated, and the power with which Frey had tried to blow away the land was returned to him in full.
An immense magical force exploded upon the Holy God.
At that maddening pain, Frey’s scream resounded.
[Keo, keoheok...!!! Wait... hold on!]
“Seongjae.”
A golden-green light surged from Cheon Seongjae’s body.
“I’ll make you pay dearly for making us forget our uncle.”
[……!!!]
Frey froze at that gaze, as if he were looking at Igeon.
As expected.
[Super Regeneration]
[Pain Revival]
[Wound Revival]
[Super Regeneration]
[Pain Revival]
[Wound Revival]
[Super Regeneration]
[Pain Revival]
[Wound Revival]
[Aaaargh!!!]
The sound of Frey’s core shattering could be heard.
