The divine realm and multiple dimensions are connected.
And this place that would normally be filled with the screams of karma gods eliminated by the Punishing God.
But now, it was different.
“Aaaah!!”
“Stop it, you wretch!”
“Aaagh! I’m seriously dying! Do you not know how to respect your elders?!”
The Kunlun gods were screaming as if they were dying.
It was because of none other than Lee Geon himself.
Having taken out the Heavenly Judgment axe, Lee Geon was mercilessly striking down the Kunlun gods.
Thwack! Thwack!
And he wasn’t just striking them. He leisurely chased down those who fled as if playing whack-a-mole, and those who hid in their houses, he smashed their dwellings to pieces and utterly ruined them!
The Kunlun gods were appalled by the rampage, which was practically terrorism.
“Look here, do something about that child!”
“What do you mean do something?! You’re talking nonsense that could get you in trouble with the sister-in-law!”
“Right! If he gets so much as a scratch, the master will kill us!”
“Damn it, he’s the Great Sage God’s bride, so we can’t dare lay a finger on him!”
Even as Lee Geon went on a rampage, the Kunlun gods couldn’t lift a finger.
Even trying to placate him with words was useless.
“Die!!!”
“Aaaagh!”
In the end, responding to Lee Geon’s rampage, the Kunlun gods quickly sought another method.
It was a method they often used during wars to consume territory.
“Switch him to a non-combat god!”
“Drain his power!”
At those words, the immortal gods immediately used their authority.
At the same time, a strong light spread out 100 meters ahead, and Lee Geon couldn’t avoid being bathed in that light.
“!”
[Combat ability is being removed by the power of the immortals]
[You are being transformed into the god of peaceful leisure in the Peach Blossom Spring by the power of the immortals (1 hour)]
[You have become a god who pursues tranquility and idleness]
[You want to admire the traits of a free-spirited person enjoying leisure]
Along with that notification voice, a change occurred in Lee Geon’s body.
“Geon-ah!”
As a calming blue light swirled around his body, Lee Geon rubbed his eyes as if dazed.
Seeing that, the Kunlun gods realized their authority had worked and were relieved.
“It worked! Now, quickly escort him inside!”
“Bring the prepared wedding attire!”
“I shall escort the groom!”
However, right at that moment.
Craaack!!!
“Urgh!”
A Kunlun god heading to get the wedding attire was sent flying.
And in that instant, the Kunlun gods couldn’t believe their eyes.
Lee Geon, who had been rubbing his eyes as if dazed, as if sleepy, started killing the surrounding gods instead, like a drunkard throwing a fit.
Pow!
Thwack!!
“Urgh!”
“Die!!”
The Kunlun gods were dumbfounded at the sight.
“Why is he so berserk even after becoming a god of peaceful leisure!”
“Normally, one enjoys leisure on the spot and indulges in drinking and womanizing, don’t they?!”
When imbued with the trait of peaceful leisure, one would simply enjoy leisure right there.
But what in the world was that sight!
“Could it be that that’s what leisure means to that bastard?”
“Say something that makes sense! Is he a psycho or what!!!”
Of course, Hugo seemed to have some sort of understanding at that sight.
‘Geon hates his domain being invaded the most.’
It wasn’t for nothing that Sophie had almost been sliced to bits when she entered Lee Geon’s room while he was asleep.
In other words, he wanted to enjoy peaceful leisure, but with vermin swarming around him, he might have become more ferocious for the sake of his own leisure.
No, that wasn’t the real issue.
Pow!!
“Isn’t he even stronger after becoming a non-combat god!”
“What the… urgh!”
Lee Geon was throwing a bigger tantrum, swinging his axe.
His mood seemed much worse than usual.
In the end, the dying Kunlun gods let out groans.
“Heh… We went through the trouble of preparing the wedding attire.”
“Was it… The design… Was the design not to your liking?”
Just as Lee Geon, who had been trampling the gods, raised his axe to behead them, Hugo urgently clung to him.
“Geon-ah, stop! There’s nothing good for you if this goes on! It’s a loss!”
“!”
He’d heard that harming gods accumulates karmic retribution.
Moreover, at this rate, it was just making more enemies.
And at Hugo’s words, Lee Geon seemed to recall something about the divine realm and immediately agreed.
“Well, that’s true.”
“Right? So just…”
“They just fill up experience points when killed anyway, so there’s no gain.”
“Huh?”
“Ah. At this rate it’s an experience loss, so I should keep them alive and torture them.”
“Wait, hold ooon!!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, a green light soared and screams echoed.
[Universal Resurrection (Life Lv.5)]
[Painful Resurrection (Life Lv.2)]
[Pain Creation (Life Lv.3)]
……
[Universal Resurrection (Life Lv.5)]
The bitter light of life flashed and flashed again in the dimensional rifts.
Since the conditions for activating the Cycle and growth were met only when both Death and Life experience points filled to 100%, grinding experience was necessary.
And after doing that for a long while, some time passed.
[Life experience has reached 96%]
[Will be usable when it reaches 100%]
Lee Geon tapped his sore shoulder and said.
“Alright. Experience points don’t go up anymore now.”
“…M-Merciful heavens. Why has the Great Sage God’s taste turned into something like this… No, why has it changed so?!”
The elder gods of Kunlun were groaning sickly.
“Aigo, Great Sage God. If you get cut down before the wedding night, what were you thinking choosing such a god?”
But whether they said that or not, Lee Geon grabbed the old immortal by the scruff of his neck.
It seemed he had deliberately kept them alive.
As expected.
“Alright, now guide me. Which way is Earth?”
“Snake God! I beg of you, please be kind to the Great Sage God who will be your husband! Gently!”
Lee Geon was about to grind the old man down, veins bulging.
But just at that moment.
[What is taking so long?]
“!!”
A warm light fell from the sky, and an unfamiliar voice rang out.
At the same time, a goddess appeared, her beautiful silk robes fluttering.
At her appearance, the Kunlun gods hastily bowed their heads.
Even the Scorching Lord’s mouth dropped open.
Though she was in the form of an avatar, it was unmistakably her.
‘The mother goddess of Kunlun!’
Among the eight major powers, Kunlun had the greatest numbers and the most wealth.
And that goddess was a high-ranking god with power rivaling the Great Sage God.
Lee Geon raised an eyebrow as he looked at her.
[Divine Name: Master of the Immortals]
[Divine Status: Queen Mother of the West]
The goddess seemed to have instantly grasped the situation before her eyes from the scene unfolding.
As expected, she spoke while looking at Lee Geon.
[Snake God. What displeases you about Kunlun’s sincerity that you refuse it?]
Oh, what displeases him?
“Gotta get beaten to death to figure it out, huh?”
But the goddess smiled gently.
[More than 50% of the beings in the divine realm are followers who follow our Kunlun. That enormous number will all become your servants, and all of the Great Sage God’s treasures will be yours. What could be lacking?]
“Uh, got no business here, so get lost. Unless you want your clan annihilated like Olympus.”
At the look in his eyes that said he wasn’t just talking, the goddess let out a deep sigh.
[We too would prefer a marriage where both sides are happy. But this time, we cannot give up.]
“What?”
[Did you not take the pushover we won the bid for?]
“!”
Hugo flinched at those words.
Come to think of it, weren’t these bastards the ones who first crushed him with money at the auction house and won the bid for him?
That wasn’t all.
-Ohohoho, a decent face and decent abilities, I shall specially take you as my 19,788th husband.
Indeed, the one who said that and tried to take him away was from Kunlun…!
As expected, the goddess spoke.
[Because you vanished, the Great Sage God’s younger sibling has been crying her eyes out. She’s so heartbroken. It seems she took quite a liking to you.]
At those words, Lee Geon snickered mockingly.
“What, you were almost sold off to such an esteemed person? Isn’t that a shame, wanna go back even now?”
“You go be sold!! You bastard!”
Hugo glared at Lee Geon, veins bulging, but whether he did or not, the goddess clicked her tongue and continued.
[Moreover, there is the matter of our Kunlun elder, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.]
“The Grand… what?”
[Snake God, I speak of the elder you beat like a dog and hung up at the ship party.]
“Ah….”
He’d beaten so many that he didn’t know which bastard that was, but anyway, it did seem like he’d beaten such a guy.
And whatever role that guy held, if he was an important figure in Kunlun, he must be something like a master.
As proof of that, the goddess smiled beautifully yet lethally.
[We have our pride too. Yet we lost the pushover, and do you think we would give up on the wedding issue as things stand!]
“So what, who cares!”
[I am telling you to think carefully. Even if you go to Earth now, things will only be difficult. The Great Sage God would cherish you, so why go to such a colonial dimension.]
Frowning, Lee Geon tilted his head.
He’d heard that some guys pretending to be his subordinat e gods had appeared on Earth, but the goddess’s words somehow bothered him.
There was no way the goddess would say such a thing just because some impostors had appeared.
For that reason, Lee Geon’s eyes gleamed as if testing her.
“Why. Is something going on there right now?”
[One of the eight major powers has headed there.]
Lee Geon smiled as if still trying to probe her intentions.
“If they went to Earth, they’re probably avatars or subordinate gods anyway. With that kind of level, my saints there should be enough…”
[Is that so? Among the eight major powers, there is one where even those of the Sacred God level all serve as subordinate gods.]
“!”
[In other words, they themselves reject being true gods, serve only one Father God as their sole Sacred God, and do not serve the Great Sage God. Therefore, they are not restricted in dimensional travel.]
At those words, the Scorching Lord flinched.
Could it be that Eden’s legion had headed to Earth?
That would be troublesome.
When going to a colonial dimension he’d heard about, they suffered penalties and couldn’t use their full power.
That was the rule of the gods engraved in the divine realm.
Moreover, a Sacred God would destroy the environment of a colonial dimension and ruin it. So they weren’t supposed to leave the divine realm.
Of course, even if one ignored such things and directly descended, the rules of the divine realm were no joke.
‘A god who accumulates penalties dies.’
In other words, one had no choice but to go in the form of an avatar, which could be considered a clone.
That was the rule of the divine realm, which distinguished the ruling class and the strong.
But the non-Sacred God subordinate gods were different.
‘They can head to a colonial dimension with their full power.’
It wasn’t for nothing that Sacred Gods used subordinate gods to wage wars.
And for a high-ranking god of the Sacred God level to reap all the benefits of a subordinate god and head to a colonial dimension was a tremendous advantage.
Eden was the one enjoying that through a monotheistic system.
‘To put it in extreme terms, it’s like thousands of monarch-level monsters appearing on Earth.’
As things were, the most advantageous in the current colonial dimension conflicts was Eden.
In short, they had forsaken the Sacred God’s interests but chosen power.
‘But Eden in a place like Earth?’
Those lofty, picky angel bastards?
Well, whatever, it didn’t matter.
“Those bastards.”
Hugo flinched at Lee Geon’s muttered words.
And at that moment.
Was it because her rejection by Lee Geon had put her in a bad mood?
The voice of Kunlun’s supreme goddess turned grim.
[If you still say you don’t want to…]
“No. Okay. Fine, I’ll go get married.”
[!!]
“?!”
The ones most surprised by the unexpected answer were the Snake Lord sign subordinate gods and Hugo.
“Geon-ah?!”
“Master!”
Lee Geon smirked.
Hugo looked at him in confusion, but Lee Geon was smiling subtly.
The moment he heard about which bastards had headed to Earth, he’d gained a purpose.
‘I need to take that from Kunlun.’
As expected.
Lee Geon smiled and said.
“I’ll marry the Kunlun Great Sage God, so in return, prepare a lavish dowry. What do I need to prepare?”
At Lee Geon’s casual words, Hugo could only stammer, and the whole Kunlun region was filled with joy.
“Great Sage God! Rejoice!!”
“We have done it!!”
The goddess was also overjoyed.
[Then I shall send a subordinate to guide you.]
“Alright. I’ll get ready right away too.”
The flustered Hugo urgently grabbed Lee Geon, asking what he was thinking, but the Scorching Lord clapped and rejoiced.
“Aigo, the richest in the divine realm is becoming our in-law! Congratulations, nephew!”
“Haha, what are you saying.”
“What?”
At that, Lee Geon, who had grabbed the Scorching Lord, whispered chillingly into his ear.
“The one getting married isn’t me. It’s you.”
What the?!
