Alright.
So there was an illegal entry.
Lee Geon smiled brighter than ever.
‘Why didn't I think of that method?’
In the first place, there was no reason to wait in line. No reason to have those scumbags judge his face.
‘I’ll just barge right in and that’s it.’
But as if reading Lee Geon's mind, the Vassal Gods of the Serpent Lord were thrown into a panic.
[M-Master! You cannot!!!]
[Whatever you are thinking, you must not! Whatever it is, do not!]
Vassal Gods were connected to their master. They couldn't read specific thoughts, but could sense his mood.
And when Lee Geon's sharp mood suddenly brightened, the Vassal Gods couldn't help but panic.
Because it was obvious what Lee Geon was thinking!
[Master!!]
[That, at least, is not allowed…]
“Shut up. You've been noisy for a while. If you keep opening your mouths, I’ll kill you first.”
At the chilling murmur, the Vassal Gods in the shadows all fell silent.
They didn't want to die at the hands of their master.
‘As expected of Master. Even with his power sealed, he’s terrifying.’
‘Truly, it’s Lord Lee Geon.’
But whether he knew it or not, the owner of the airship frowned.
“Why has this bastard been muttering to himself since earlier?”
At that murmur, Lee Geon looked at the male god. At first glance, he looked like a shepherd.
‘He doesn’t seem to be a combat-type god.’
But even after staring intently, he couldn’t glean any further information.
‘As expected, none of my skills are activating.’
Normally, the God's Eye skill would activate automatically, allowing him to confirm various information.
In fact, when he opened his palm to check his skills, only one thing appeared in the golden hologram.
[LOCK]
Until entering the divine realm, he couldn’t use any skills, including Super Regeneration.
Well, whatever.
“You said you’d smuggle yourself in, right? Fine, give me a ride while you’re at it.”
At that, the male god looked Lee Geon up and down as if dumbfounded.
“Seeing you falling off that bridge, you seem like another disqualified scum who got rejected at immigration.”
The male god raised his index finger as if to poke Lee Geon's forehead.
“Who does a worm like you think you are, giving orders. At a glance, you’re a low-level god who’d only do menial tasks….”
Just as the finger was about to touch Lee Geon’s forehead, Lee Geon snatched it and bent it back.
“Aargh!!”
Startled by the sudden event, the male god tried to attack Lee Geon, but—
*Crack!*
“Aaaargh!!”
With a lightning-fast joint lock, the male god screamed.
He didn’t use any weapon or magic. As if handling a child’s toy robot, he casually crushed a god with one hand and the top of his foot, pinning him to the ground.
*Crack! Crack!*
In the end, the male god, feeling his joints about to shatter, lay on the ground and trembled.
“…You… what is your identity? No, who are you?”
“None of your business.”
“No… if you’re a War God, you should say so…!!”
“Enough, just drive. Your older brother has business in the divine realm.”
The male god was dumbfounded.
No, how old is this bastard to be calling himself an older brother and ordering me around?
At that moment, the male god noticed a document sticking out of Lee Geon’s pocket. After snatching and unfolding it, the male god let out a shriek.
He couldn’t help it.
Age [25]
“Aargh! You’re just a chick who hasn’t even lived 100 years, and yet you dare give orders!!”
“!”
“Hey kid! I’m still young too, but I’m 3200 years old….”
*Crack!!*
“Drive.”
“Yes… older brother.”
* * *
Those who want success, those who want to boast their strength.
The battlefield of the gods, the Hall of Ten Thousand Gods, where the strongest from each world gather.
Lee Geon quickly arrived at the entrance of the divine realm.
At a glance, it was a huge mountain.
Concealed in the clouds, they infiltrated into a massive cave.
As soon as they entered the cave, the airship was hidden from sight. From there, they had to walk.
Satyrus looked at Lee Geon with great suspicion.
“Older brother, I have a question.”
“Make it short.”
“Then, though it may be extremely presumptuous and rude….”
“If it’s rude, don’t bother asking, bastard.”
“*Cough!*”
Satyrus, having been hit again, held back tears, but Lee Geon narrowed his brow.
“Whatever. What’s your name?”
“Huh? Ah! I’m Satyrus….”
“Swallow. Do you know anything about the gods? There’s a guy I’m looking for.”
Satyrus was about to protest, asking why he even bothered asking his name, but he shut his mouth in front of Lee Geon’s fist.
“Yes! I pride myself on being among the top 3 in knowledge about the gods! Who are you looking for…!”
“Hades.”
“What?! You’re looking for an Olympian Holy God! Of all things, one of the Eight Great Powers…!”
Satyrus looked Lee Geon up and down in disgust.
“Seeing you’re looking for a Holy God, you seem to aspire to be a Vassal God… but a god who smuggles himself in like that doesn’t seem likely to be accepted.”
But at Satyrus’s words, Lee Geon snorted.
“I’m going to kill him, so what Vassal God nonsense?”
“Ah! Really? Well, if that’s your purpose, then it doesn’t matter….”
Satyrus, who had been smiling brightly, screamed.
“Aaaaargh! Kill who, you lunatic!!!”
“?”
Satyrus grabbed Lee Geon by the collar with a terrified face.
“You little chick who doesn’t know anything! That person is absolutely not someone of your level can face! Got it?!”
*Crack!!*
“…I’m telling you, you can’t….”
Satyrus, having been hit again, wailed.
“But really, seeing you know nothing, you must be from some incredibly backwater dimension.”
“?”
He began writing something on the ground.
[Primordial God] (Sky bastard)
[Great Holy God] (Royal bastard)
[Holy God] (Noble bastard) <- The one you’re aiming for
[Vassal God] (Knight/Retainer) <- Those damn annoying Holy God flunkies. *Note: Some high-ranking Vassal Gods exist, so try not to touch anyone from here on if possible.
[Appendant God] (Commoner) <- I’m here
[Demi-god] (Lowborn)
[Pseudo-God] (Pitiful slave) <- You’re here!
“There, now you understand the problem!”
As Lee Geon glared, Satyrus screamed and erased it to write again.
[Transcendent God]
[Supreme God]
[High God] <- The one you’re aiming for ★
[Mid God]
[Low God]
[Lowest God] <- You’re here!
Satyrus glared.
“Now do you get it! How great, terrifying, and idolized High Gods are! How dare you think you can face one!”
Lee Geon was dumbfounded.
Didn’t those so-called great ones end up getting beaten by him and turned into his weapons?
But Satyrus trembled.
“To make matters worse, just recently, because of a 600% Faith Vassal God they captured, it’s absolute chaos for both high and low-rank gods…!”
“!”
At the mention of Hugo, Lee Geon turned his head.
“Anyway, you. It seems you’re trying to rank up by killing a god because you can’t raise your level. Give up. Seeing you’re the lowest rank, you’re clearly a Pseudo-God. A greenhorn like you can’t even think of a High God….”
“You’re destined to be dismantled by us.”
“?!”
A third voice came from right above their heads. At the same time, part of the cave wall transformed into a living beast.
“Aagh! Immigration officers!”
The beast, seemingly a Vassal God, tried to kill Lee Geon and Satyrus.
“I’ll execute you both immediately!”
“Ack! No! Spare us! That’s not what we—!”
And right as the Vassal Gods were about to swing their weapons.
*Bam!!!*
With Lee Geon’s roundhouse kick, the Vassal God’s head flew off.
A fountain of blood spurted out.
“Cough… hack…!!”
In an instant, the Vassal God’s head fell to the ground. Lee Geon, who landed lightly, flashed his eyes.
“What execution.”
“……!!”
Satyrus almost screamed.
“D-dead…!”
“He’s not dead, so shut it.”
“……!!”
Lee Geon kicked away the now stone-turned head of the Vassal God and took the lead.
Satyrus trembled in fear.
Because those immigration officers were Vassal Gods belonging to the divine realm.
They were the elite of the elite, selected only from high-level powerhouses.
But he handled that in one blow!
‘What, he’s a Low God!’
Indeed, in the eyes of existing gods, they could see a person’s rank.
But regardless, Lee Geon ignored it and went inside.
Once he passed through here, he could find Hugo. And he would chop off that bastard Hades’ head.
He finally entered an open space.
“You said this leads straight to the divine realm?”
But the moment he entered.
Lee Geon’s face stiffened.
He couldn’t help it.
‘What the hell is this.’
A vast indoor space.
Like the final gate where passports are checked before leaving an airport.
Indeed, at the front of the line was an officer who received documents and approved passage.
But.
‘What’s with this line?’
Before Lee Geon’s eyes stretched a line that was kilometers long!
A line reminiscent of a theme park attraction was the problem.
But as if telling him not to worry, Satyrus smiled.
“Ah, it only looks like this. This is just a ticket issuance office. Those pillars of light beyond the wall-like doors over there are direct gates. Once you enter those gates, it’s over!”
But that was precisely why Lee Geon was furious.
It was because of the sighs and comments from those waiting around him.
“Ah, crazy. Looks like this time it’ll take 300 years.”
“What? Hey, you’re at least in the faster front line. This line is 500 years.”
What the hell is going on?
Lee Geon’s veins popped.
But regardless, a bureaucratic god handed Lee Geon a waiting ticket.
“Oh my, handsome male god. You’re lucky. The line is moving fast right now, so you can enter in just 1,300 years. Congratulations!”
“…….”
What the hell is this bastard saying?
But then at that moment.
A middle-aged god casually cut in front of Lee Geon.
It was line-cutting.
Thanks to that, all the nearby gods raised their eyebrows, but well. The line-cutter, as if being chummy with the official, looked at Lee Geon and snorted.
“Seriously, young punks these days don’t know what yielding is. Low-rank ones should at least have some tact.”
Lee Geon stared at the back of the line-cutter’s head. But the line-cutter casually took out something like a phone.
“Hey. It’s me. Tell them to set up a lavish drink table since I’ll be there soon… *Cough!!*”
Lee Geon threw a punch at the line-cutter.
*Crack! Crack!*
In the end, the line-cutter became a bloody mess. The surroundings erupted in cheers, but regardless, Lee Geon shook off his fist and headed forward.
Because no matter how he thought about it, it was strange.
The line was long, but the inspection itself wasn’t something that should take much time.
It was simply like passport inspection: checking the face and issuing a ticket, that was all.
‘It shouldn’t take hundreds of years.’
Ultimately, Lee Geon headed to the front inspection counter and couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
“Wow, your name is three letters? That’ll take 3 years to type. Hey, what do you want for lunch today?”
“Ah, geez. Sir, your handwriting is unsophisticated. Please rewrite it. Oh, and get back in line.”
The official checking the documents was goofing off.
Though it was admirable that the gods didn’t lose their temper seeing this, before entry their divine powers were sealed, and in this place those officials were the authorities. Even after complying with everything, they had to endure.
But the furious Lee Geon grabbed the bureaucratic god by the collar.
“Hey. Does this really take 3 years?”
“Huh, if you don’t like it, go back. There’s so much to read, of course it takes long.”
At the document being shaken in his face, Lee Geon raised an eyebrow.
Because the document he was reading was just a single page. There weren’t many words.
Meanwhile, the line next to it was rapidly shortening. At that sight, Lee Geon frowned.
“Over there, the line is moving quickly. They have more documents to read, so why is it faster there?”
Then the bureaucratic god jeered.
“Why else? Money.”
“What?”
“Don’t you know capitalism? If you’re upset, cough up some cash. Though, looking at your shabby appearance, I wonder if you have any.”
Lee Geon beamed a bright smile.
“Haha. I promised Yeon-woo I wouldn’t lose my temper.”
“What the hell are you— ”
*Crack!!!*
“*Cough!!*”
“Kyaaaah!!!”
The inspection hall interior turned into chaos.
The official whose face was smashed by Lee Geon lost consciousness, and nearby officials jumped up and screamed.
“C-catch that bastard!”
But regardless, Lee Geon leaped onto the table and examined the inside of the official’s station.
Then, a full view of mechanical devices.
He didn’t know which button opened the gates, but it didn’t matter.
*Beep- beep- beep beep-*
After pressing all the buttons, Lee Geon leisurely jumped off the table.
The inspection hall became pandemonium.
*Beep beep beep beep-*
[Gate Open]
[Danger]
[Danger]
[Explosion Risk]
As all entrances, even the walls blocking them, vanished entirely, all the gods waiting in line cheered.
“What’s going on?!”
“He opened the gates for us!”
“Whoa, hooray!!”
With Lee Geon at the head, the gods all headed toward the gate to the divine realm.
Tens of thousands of people at once!
At the sight, the corrupt officials connected to the Great Holy Gods turned pale.
“Aagh! No! If they do that, we won’t know who entered!”
“Catch them!”
“Cut off the transmission device!”
But then at that moment.
Was it because of the button Lee Geon pressed? As soon as he left, a massive explosion occurred in the inspection hall.
*Boom!!!*
And around that time.
[Aagh! Cut off the transmission device!]
[Catch them quickly!]
[Catch the one who beat the official!]
[No! The gate blew up!]
The inspection hall, as if a terrorist attack had occurred, was burning.
The saints on Earth, watching Lee Geon through the power of a Vassal God with clairvoyance, were speechless.
“That crazy bastard….”
“I’m a fool for thinking he’d enter normally….”
A calamity has entered the divine realm.
