Mahabharata.
They were one of the pinnacles of the hundreds of billions of gods.
And if Olympus had the 12 executive-level Zodiac Gods, Mahabharata had 10 powerful avatars called the.
The star god of Leo, though unmotivated, was one of those executive gods.
And those avatars were currently.
Focusing on the Scorching Heat Master that Lee Geon was targeting.
The reason was nothing else.
‘For the Snake God to hand over the Scorching Heat Master is a big problem!’
‘It’s that Great Star God of the Ennead who put out the bounty!’
The great elder who devoured the lands of the Zodiac in the past!
And the fact that the Ennead Great Star God intended to completely tear apart the Scorching Heat Master was a very famous story even in the divine realm.
The reason was simple.
First. Because the Scorching Heat Master had scammed the Ennead in the past and given them a big middle finger.
Second. Because he had stolen a precious treasure of the Ennead Great Star God.
Anyway, now that he had become human, there was no way they would leave him alone.
Of course, they weren’t trying to save someone like the Scorching Heat Master.
‘If it’s the Ennead Great Star God, he could devour Scorching Heat, another sun god, and grow even stronger.’
In other words, it was to prevent the great star gods of other factions from gaining more power.
‘At the same time, we’ll take the Ennead Great Star God’s item that the Scorching Heat bastard stole!’
But at this moment.
The Mahabharata gods who had come with such a crucial order couldn’t help but scream.
“Aaaack!! That bastard sold it to the Fate Goddesses!”
“What the hell is he doing right now!”
They froze.
For no other reason.
‘That Snake God! Could it be he was planning to negotiate with the Fate Goddesses?!’
That was it. They were directly affiliated with the divine realm, and the ones whom even the great star gods coveted—these beings could change the rules of the divine realm with the fate book called.
‘In the worst case, with that rulebook alone, you could bankrupt an entire faction.’
‘You could make a faction suffer misfortune for their whole lives.’
It had actually happened.
‘If you have the Fate Goddesses, you might even stand at the pinnacle of the gods!’
Of course, the Fate Goddesses were so capricious and demanding that no one had ever successfully used them.
But.
“Aaaack!! With that good-for-nothing offering, it’s a completely different story! He’s clearly trying to make a deal for the rulebook!!”
“Excuse me?! Th-there’s no way the goddesses would accept! No matter what, he’s the one who tore down their own faction…!”
“No! They are not ones to cling to factions!”
In short, it was a situation where it wouldn’t be strange for the Fate Goddesses to do anything!
Of course, no one knew what that Snake God would demand.
But.
‘If a star god is seeking the Fate Goddesses, what else could it be but to use the ?!’
‘Just by sending Scorching Heat, he must have gained tremendous favor!’
At this point, checking the Ennead or informing Haily about the Great Star God was no longer urgent.
‘First, we must stop the Snake God.’
Having reached that conclusion, the Mahabharata gods hurriedly grabbed Hugo.
“O god who seems to understand words! Wh-what on earth do you plan to do with the rulebook?!”
“Could it be you’re aiming for the position of Great Star God?!”
Great Star God my ass.
But there was no need to tell them.
And at that, Hugo looked at Lee Geon as if flabbergasted.
“You planned this from the beginning, didn’t you?”
Lee Geon smiled with satisfaction.
* * *
And it was around then.
The Scorching Heat Master, who had vanished in an instant, fell into an unfamiliar palace.
At the same time, realizing where this was, the Scorching Heat Master couldn’t help but turn pale.
‘This place…!’
There was no mistaking it.
‘The Palace of the Fate Goddesses!’
It was a place no other god could find, and while everyone wanted to visit, for Scorching Heat it was different.
‘I have to escape!’
Bound, he hurriedly crawled, trying to get out of the palace.
But it was at that moment.
Bang!!!
“?!”
A bullet embedded itself right before the Scorching Heat Master’s eyes.
Having nearly had his ear blown off, the Scorching Heat Master turned his head in terror.
As expected.
“Welcome, beloved Lewis! I missed you!”
“……!?!!”
A goddess who looked to be in her 40s approached dreamily, a cigarette between her lips.
[Divinity: The Three Fate Goddesses / Lachesis (Present)]
Rather than an elegant noblewoman, she seemed more suited to shooting on a battlefield right then.
She even wore an eyepatch over one eye.
And Scorching Heat knew all too well that she had lost it in a bet.
In the end, the Scorching Heat Master greeted her with a frozen smile.
“L-Long time no see. But why are you alone without your sisters?”
At his words, Lachesis (Present) beamed.
“Why look for my sisters? Marriage is between two people, after all. Naturally, I have to do nice things with Lewis alone.”
The Scorching Heat Master went pale.
At the same time, Lachesis (Present) laughed viciously and said.
“And since it’s obvious my sisters would snatch Lewis away if they saw him, I’m going to stamp the marriage certificate first.”
As Lachesis brought out documents and an ink pad, the Scorching Heat Master tried to die.
But regardless, the goddess smiled brightly.
“I thought he was a bastard for tormenting Heracles, but the Snake God is a good one too. To choose us over money.”
“#$*&#$*!”
Nephewwww!
The Scorching Heat Master was going out of his mind.
Of all the people to get caught by, why did it have to be these ones?
They were the three Moirai sisters, called the Three Fate Goddesses.
And though now directly affiliated with the divine realm, they had been from the same faction before, so he knew them even better.
‘These psychos!’
How many male gods had gone to these goddesses and come out as corpses!
Still, it was a relief that there seemed to be only one of the three.
‘If it’s just one, I can somehow escape.’
And from the way she spoke, it didn’t seem like she would call her sisters.
But right at that moment.
“Hey. You wanna die?”
“Where do you think you’re trying to have Lewis all to yourself?”
“Aaaack!”
No sooner had he felt relieved than the other sisters appeared.
[Divinity: Clotho (Past)]
[Divinity: Atropos (Future)]
Clotho (Past) was in the form of a young child, and Atropos (Future) was an old woman.
In the end, as they appeared, the Scorching Heat Master tried to flee.
Bang bang bang!
Under the sisters’ gunfire, the Scorching Heat Master lay flat on the ground and cried.
At the same time, the Scorching Heat Master’s eyes gleamed.
‘Right. This is something my nephew would do.’
As if the great Lee Geon would have left him without doing anything!
‘He’s a madman who sent even the Monarch and the Great Star God with bombs attached.’
In fact, the Scorching Heat Master could feel something rustling inside his body.
‘He planted some kind of device in me.’
Given the situation, he was prepared to endure any bomb.
Surely he wouldn’t have attached something that would kill him.
‘No, even if it kills me, he’ll save me!’
So the Scorching Heat Master spoke to the fighting sisters.
“Alright, for now I’ll marry you, so undress me first.”
“What? Undress?”
The Scorching Heat Master, whose face was his weapon(?), put on his most handsome expression.
“The Snake God sent an item together as a dowry. I’d like you to check it.”
The Fate Goddesses were dubious, but they immediately grinned lecherously and groped his body.
And it was then.
“Would this box happen to be the dowry gift?”
Finally, when they discovered the device that Lee Geon seemed to have planted, the Scorching Heat Master, who had been on the verge of tears, laughed.
“Yes! Open it!”
As the goddesses opened the box, light burst out, and the Scorching Heat Master threw himself aside.
In that moment, something amazing happened.
BOOM!!
At the light and sound, the Scorching Heat Master smiled.
Or rather, tried to smile.
But what burst out along with the light were none other than flower petals and a piece of paper.
「I present the Scorching Heat Master to only the most beautiful and outstanding goddess.」
At that message, the Fate Goddesses’ eyes gleamed, and the Scorching Heat Master screamed.
‘Nephewwww!!’
The goddesses grabbed the Scorching Heat Master and started fighting.
“Let go. Lewis is mine.”
“You let go.”
“Then let’s divide him three ways nicely. I only need his face anyway.”
“Huh? That’s not bad. I only need his heart.”
“Lower half for me.”
“Nice. Let’s cut him.”
The captured Scorching Heat Master let out a silent scream.
In the end, as Clotho of the past tried to take the face, Lachesis of the present the heart, and Atropos of the future the lower half, the Scorching Heat Master grew desperate.
‘Nephew! When are you coming!!’
This was the doing of the great Lee Geon.
And what reason could he have for sending him here?
‘Isn’t he going to come here and raise hell like he always does?!’
Lee Geon was definitely coming.
No, he would come.
No, he had to come.
“Why aren’t you coming!!!”
Just as the Scorching Heat Master, on the verge of being cut, was about to scream, it happened.
Boom!!
“!!”
The goddesses’ palace collapsed.
The goddesses and the Scorching Heat Master turned their heads in surprise.
“This direction is…”
And just as they were wondering what was going on.
“Ah, I finally found you.”
“……!!”
Everyone was surprised by the unexpected voice.
There was no way they couldn’t be.
“Virgo?”
“Little sister!”
At his younger sister’s appearance, the Scorching Heat Master was about to cry.
The silver-haired goddess, as if she wasn’t a battle star god for nothing, was smiling viciously, holding a blood-dripping sword.
And behind her, a pile of corpses.
“Sorry, but I have no intention of letting you become my new sisters-in-law?”
At the same time, the owner of the full moon raised the corner of her mouth viciously.
“Especially since you betrayed the Snake Lord a long time ago.”
At those words, the flustered Fate Goddesses let out hollow laughs.
“Who the hell do you think you are to inter…”
“Ah, and I forgot to mention. You’d better give up on the marriage.”
“What? What do you mean.”
“Because that thing is completely defective.”
“……?!”
As the owner of the full moon pointed with a pure smile between the Scorching Heat Master’s legs, the panicked old woman hurriedly shoved her hand into his pants.
* * *
And it was around then.
“Geon. Don’t you have any intention of going to find that baldy?”
“Why would I?”
“What do you mean why… you…”
That was it.
The nephew, who never came no matter how desperately his uncle searched, was rummaging through the Fate Goddesses’ chamber.
“I threw him in as bait, it’d be meaningless if I went looking for him.”
“Hey. What if he actually gets married or something… no, what if they find out it’s defective?”
“Not my problem. You think I handed him over knowing that?”
“…….”
Hugo leaned his hand against the wall as if telling him to stop talking.
At the same time, when he activated his authority, something amazing happened.
RUMBLE!
An unfamiliar power broke the wall.
It was neither the Scorching Heat Master’s power as the star god of the Divine Palace Sign, nor Lee Geon’s.
It was certainly Hugo’s original authority, gained after acquiring divinity from the Snake Lord’s .
And when the wall was broken, a hidden secret laboratory emerged from within.
“What is this…!”
On display shelves, countless lights were arranged.
And when Lee Geon was delighted by the obviously powerful auras, Hugo clicked his tongue.
“I wondered what you were looking for, so you came to find this? What is this stuff?”
“What do you think. Male gods’ junk.”
“Ah. Jun… WHAT?!!”
Lee Geon snorted.
Well, to be precise, it was the life ability to proliferate offspring.
Anyway, the Fate Goddesses were deeply connected to Hades.
And Hades is the god of the underworld.
The fellow underworld god Osiris had given him information about them.
‘They collected the precious parts of male gods. Were they planning to create a new god or something?’
He didn’t know why the Fate Goddesses were collecting those, but Lee Geon had overheard Osiris and Anubis whispering.
—As expected, Olympus must be trying to revive the Creator.
—So they gathered male gods’ life force for that? To birth new gods at the Creator level?
At the familiar name, Lee Geon raised an eyebrow, but for now, it didn’t matter.
“Ah. Found it. Taeksu, this is yours.”
“????!”
“Now I can send you back home.”
Did Lee Geon really aim for that from the very beginning?
He pointed at the green light displayed at the very end.
“Th-that’s…!”
“The ability that Zeus took from you. Well, it’s dirty, so go pick it up yourself.”
“Ugh, seriou…”
“And with that, your lifespan will be extended too.”
“!”
Hugo was surprised by the unexpected remark.
So that’s why this bastard was so fixated on this crap!
“Could it be you sought this out to extend my lifespan?”
“No. For my fourth child. For my dream of becoming a club owner.”
“What does my kid have to do with you becoming a club owner?”
Hugo was dumbfounded, but soon he moved as if he understood.
And finally, as Hugo headed toward the light, and Lee Geon was about to turn back, it happened.
“Lime?”
A slime that had hopped down from Lee Geon’s shoulder hurriedly dragged something over.
‘!’
Seeing that, Lee Geon was startled.
