"That bastard already messed with something he shouldn't have."
At Lee-geon's vicious smile, the Burning Flame Temple Master felt a chill run down his spine.
It was because his smile was ominous.
Because of that, the Burning Flame Temple Master broke out in a cold sweat and stretched out his hand.
"No, Nephew. What do you mean he messed with something he shouldn't have? How much more are you planning to wreck the Divine Realm!"
People live here too!!
That's how the uncle desperately shouted, but Lee-geon glared back as if he was spouting nonsense.
"What are you talking about? I've been staying quiet all along."
"?!"
Does this bastard really not know?!
Does he have no idea why Olympus is in such chaos because of whom? Is that it??
But whether he knew or not, Lee-geon reached out his hand.
He was trying to summon his weapon,
It was made for monsters, so he wasn't sure if it would work well on gods, but his aim was to behead Hades.
But.
"Tch. As expected, I can't even take out my weapon."
Waving his hand in the air, Lee-geon frowned.
The moment he entered the Divine Realm, most items, along with his subordinate gods, had gone into Lee-geon's shadow.
And since they were engraved, they should be summoned when called, but Sky's Punishment wouldn't come out.
[
[
But at that sight, the Burning Flame Temple Master tilted his head.
"Summoning doesn't work? Strange. I guaranteed your identity, so it should have been released."
The Divine Realm hates gods without money. Being such a world, there were many petty criminals in the Divine Realm.
And if you got a criminal record, you couldn't even use your authorities or your own items, but if a higher god filed an identity guarantee along with gems, it could be released.
'I clearly released it earlier.'
But Lee-geon grumbled and opened his palm.
"Come to think of it, the state of my skills is weird too."
Before entering the Divine Realm, it had been [LOCK]ed, but now that it was released, something stranger appeared.
- Divinity (0) -
- Divine Status -
[Life] Authority (3-star authority, 2 others)
[Death] Authority (3-star authority, 2 others)
[???] (5-star authority, 1 other)
The form of the skills changed, and something unknown appeared.
And then it happened.
[You are not registered as a resident in the Divine Realm]
[Please register as a resident quickly]
[You cannot use weapons without citizenship. You must obtain permission.]
At the voice ringing from the air, Lee-geon shot a glance at the Burning Flame Temple Master.
"Hey. It says my resident registration isn't done. What do we do about this?"
At those words, the Burning Flame Temple Master instead made a dumbfounded expression.
Resident registration, he says.
"How on earth did you enter that you didn't even get that registered?"
"Well. They were doing some face check, luggage inspection, and making me wait."
"Inspection? Don't tell me you came through immigration?"
"Ah. Right. I think so. Well, it was annoying so I skipped everything and just smashed my way in."
At those words, the Burning Flame Temple Master's expression was a sight to behold.
"Don't tell me you're the one who wrecked the immigration office!!!"
The Burning Flame Temple Master screamed.
As if it wasn't already chaos—no, a terrorist attack—at the entry to the Divine Realm right now!
"Because of you, 560,000 unidentified immigrants have entered the Divine Realm, you bastard!!"
Thanks to that, the officials were in an emergency uproar, and even the Great Saint God in charge of immigration was in a foul mood.
And because of that, the enraged saint god was already making a huge fuss looking for the illegal immigrant culprit who caused it all!
"Do you really not know the meaning of moderation! Even if it's just when you enter, if you'd come in quietly, that's enough!"
"What do I care. Gods or whatever."
At his nephew's attitude, the Burning Flame Temple Master felt like going crazy and losing his mind.
'I'm going crazy, really!'
Come to think of it, right now he was hiding a tremendous criminal.
'I thought he only messed with Olympus!'
And he didn't expect it to turn out like this, but if things went this way...
'If I get caught, I die too.'
Eventually, the Burning Flame Temple Master grabbed his nephew's shoulders as if asking if he was insane.
"No, why did you leave a more convenient route and deliberately come through that kind of immigration route?"
"What? There was another route?"
"Of course there is! Don't you have subordinate gods! Then there's a way to register as a resident as a lower saint god and enter simply!"
At those words, Lee-geon's face twisted.
'Did I do something pointless?'
Well, it didn't matter anyway.
"Whatever. I'm already in, so just introduce Hades' enemies."
It was when the Burning Flame Temple Master was about to say something.
Ding-dong.
"!"
With a clear bell sound, a hologram appeared in a corner of the room.
As if connected to the main gate of the huge mansion, the hologram showed the figures who had pressed the bell.
It was a duo.
[We came after receiving a report]
[It was reported that you're hiding an illegal immigrant here. May we come in?]
Lee-geon raised the corner of his mouth, and the Burning Flame Temple Master, suddenly caught in a terrible situation, screamed internally.
* * *
At that time.
"No, why is that snake bastard in Olympus!!"
Hades couldn't help but raise his blood pressure.
He had to handle this matter before it reached the Great Saint God, or else he might barely receive the gods' forgiveness.
But if he had already entered Olympus, the story changes!
Because of that, Hades could only grit his teeth.
"Just who let him into Olympus!"
That was understandable; this was the great Olympus, after all.
No one could enter it without permission.
'Clearly, someone let him in and is hiding him.'
And the only ones who could do that are the saint gods of the Olympus faction!
In other words, it meant there was an accomplice who contributed to Olympus becoming like this.
'I don't know who it is, but if I find out, I'll kill them together.'
Eventually, he picked up the item of Lee-geon that had been sniffed, spread both arms, and used his divine power.
"As the master of the tier, the landlord god of Olympus, I command. Search all registries of the Divine Realm and find the owner of this item within Olympus."
At the same time, an amazing thing happened. Strands of light rose from the floor and shot up into the sky.
[Tracking the corresponding god]
And those strands spread throughout the entire area of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors where Olympus was located.
But.
[Cannot find the specific location of that god]
"What?!"
[That god is an unregistered god not registered as a resident in the Divine Realm]
[There is no registered information, so the Divine Realm tracking skill does not work]
"What the...!!"
An unregistered god, it was impossible.
But.
[It seems he either didn't register formally or entered illegally through the immigration office]
[However, currently the immigration office is smashed and no records remain, so we cannot find him...]
Hades grabbed the back of his neck.
Indeed, if he entered illegally, he could completely evade even the Divine Realm's tracking.
"Why did that guy, being a saint god, enter like that and cause this chaos!!"
With this, clearly other gods wouldn't be able to find him either.
'If someone is hiding him, we'll never be able to find him,'
Because if he was smuggled into Olympus, it was certainly the doing of a higher god.
If time dragged on, the Great Saint God would notice faster.
Then his subordinate gods asked, sweating.
"Um, Master. Forgive us, but isn't that bumpkin snake god here to find his own subordinate god?"
"!"
"Then if we tell him where the 600% subordinate god is hidden, won't that snake god go there? Then we could rather ambush him there..."
"That cannot be done."
Hades cut off the words and frowned.
The location was what it was. Even if he told Hugo's location, Lee-geon had no chance of retrieving Hugo anyway, but he didn't want to stir up trouble for nothing.
And above all.
'That 600% subordinate god is no ordinary one.'
It wasn't just about the 600% faith.
In fact, when Hugo's soul flowed into the underworld, Hades learned an unexpected fact.
[O Lord of the Yellow Springs. It is a truly strange soul.]
The three goddesses of fate, deeply connected to the underworld, informed him about Hugo.
[This soul has accumulated karma beyond imagination.]
[Karma?]
[I don't know what he did in his past life, but even an evil god would have difficulty accumulating this much karma.]
If the goddesses of fate warned him to this extent, it meant this was no ordinary soul.
'It's a bigger shot than I thought.'
Having much karma meant having a deep history.
Did he think he would let him go find it easily?
"Well, never mind. If I cast a curse, he'll pop out."
"A curse?"
Instead of answering, Hades picked up the gourd that had found Lee-geon's coordinates.
If he had the opponent's item, casting a death curse was nothing for the god of death.
Sure enough.
He raised the corner of his mouth and cast his authority on Lee-geon's dropped item.
[Underworld Curse (5-star)]
There was a risk, but it was a curse fatal even to gods.
For a saint god without defensive subordinates, it would be even more effective.
But it was then.
The moment the curse towards Lee-geon seeped into the gourd.
Flash!
"......!!"
Hades, who was casting the curse, was startled.
Suddenly, Lee-geon's gourd activated and something popped out from within.
It was an unidentified figure.
"Master!!"
At a glance, she appeared to be an incredibly beautiful woman. But upon seeing the woman, Hades immediately grew wary.
"This creature, what kind of energy...!!"
She was not a god. Even less a human.
And instinctively sensing danger, he tried to move elsewhere.
But it was that moment.
Crack!!!
Hades was struck on the head by the unidentified figure and collapsed.
* * *
Meanwhile, at that time.
"Over here! He fled in this direction!"
"A report came in! An intruder has entered Olympus!"
"It's an illegal immigrant!"
Lee-geon and his uncle were being chased by the gods of Olympus.
Of course, the Burning Flame Temple Master didn't need to flee, but it was all because of Lee-geon.
If Lee-geon hadn't entered illegally, even if he hid him, there wouldn't have been any problem!
"Ugh, Nephew! Just go home!!!"
"You baldy, won't you back off?!"
Eventually, they left the Burning Flame Temple Master's mansion and hid in the vast garden of Olympus, clicking their tongues.
"It's the Divine Realm's officials. They can use authority control skills."
In short, it was a disarm skill. And the Burning Flame Temple Master, branded as an accomplice, had also become a target.
But Lee-geon raised the corner of his mouth as if it didn't matter.
Well, he could fight as it was, but the inside of Olympus was not an environment where Lee-geon could move easily.
It seemed to be related to his divinity.
"Well, if Persephone is here, we can escape, can't we? She seemed able to use some escape skill."
"What? All of a sudden Persephone, what nonsense. In the first place, why would she be here..."
"Why? Because I stole her from the 10th floor."
Sensing the situation, the Burning Flame Temple Master screamed.
"Ack!!! What did you steal again!!"
But instead of answering, Lee-geon summoned the piggy bank (Pishu). Pishu, who had been struggling with a full belly, was happy to see his master.
But.
"Boo, boo??"
"Never mind. Let's cut open your belly. I don't know how you ate it, but you need to get out the Persephone you devoured."
"Boo?!!!"
As Lee-geon approached with a knife as if to cut open his belly, Pishu wailed.
He was begging not to do that one thing.
And it was then.
"Over there! It's the Burning Flame Temple Master!"
"Tch."
Voices heard from afar.
Hiding behind the trees, they clicked their tongues and prepared to fight bare-handed.
But it was then.
The official gods running towards Lee-geon suddenly vomited blood and collapsed.
"Kuhuk!!"
They tilted their heads at the officials collapsing on their own.
"...?"
But that wasn't the end.
"Those bastards!"
Once again, as officials came from afar, Lee-geon and the Burning Flame Temple Master raised their swords,
Splat! Splat!!
"...????"
With ghostly speed, the enemies collapsed on their own again.
And they couldn't figure out why the enemies were collapsing while they stood still.
Well, it was convenient since they could just snatch weapons when they got close...
'What is this?'
It wasn't the Burning Flame Temple Master's subordinate gods.
It felt like an unidentified third party was helping them.
And they soon learned the identity.
"Aaargh!! Catch that human wench!"
"What! Why is there a human here!"
"Wai... Aack!"
"Catch her! Catch that girl with the spear!"
"What! Why is she so strong! Whose subordinate is she!"
At the sounds from afar, both the Burning Flame Temple Master and Lee-geon flinched.
Because it was a characteristic they knew all too well.
So the silent Burning Flame Temple Master asked, sweating.
"Snake Lord. Did you perhaps bring a saint here?"
"Are you crazy? I left them all behind to protect Mother. This is my first time here, I don't even know how dangerous it is, so why would I bring comrades?"
"Then some other saint..."
"I came to the Divine Realm alone."
"!!"
That was true.
Besides the existing subordinate gods of the Snake Lord's faction, he brought no one.
Because it was dangerous.
But at the continuing screams from afar, the Burning Flame Temple Master broke out in a sweat.
"But a human wench, no matter how I see it..."
"Hey. How would Yuha even get in here. Hiding somewhere without me knowing..."
But at those words, Pishu suddenly flinched greatly.
A face that looked like it had a guilty conscience.
At that sight, Lee-geon's eyes flashed.
Sure enough.
"Well, we can check. Let's cut open the belly."
"Boo?!!"
"Ah. Healing is on you, baldy. I can't use super regeneration right now."
"...I can only burn things though?"
"Then do that."
"Kkooaeeck!!!!"
Suddenly facing his belly being cut open and then burned, Pishu began to retch desperately while tearing up.
And he diligently threw up the items inside him.
And it was then.
Plop!
"!!!"
At the items Pishu desperately brought out from his belly, the Burning Flame Temple Master was horrified, and Lee-geon flinched.
What Pishu spat out was none other than Yuha's bag, and all sorts of personal belongings!
It was a trace that someone had hidden inside Pishu's belly.
At the same time, at the screams of enemies from afar, Lee-geon felt dizzy.
'That Yuha, she secretly followed!'
And it was then.
Kaboom!
This time from the opposite side. A sound came from Hades' direction.
And at the sound of gods dying, the Burning Flame Temple Master turned pale and looked at Lee-geon.
"...What on earth did you bring with you?"
