“Nephew!! Let’s make a deal, a deal!!”
Meanwhile, around that time.
The Scorching Heat Master was sending an SOS signal to Igeon.
It wasn’t for any other reason.
“Nephew, I’m really in danger! My purity is going to be taken!!”
That’s right.
He had been dragged to Kunlun.
Of course, it was originally Louis who had been devoured by the Abyss.
But Kunlun had chased after the Abyss and the Scorching Heat Master, saying they needed to save the Madam(?).
And since they were natural enemies, it wasn’t good to confront them, but the gods were no pushovers either.
In the end, while the Abyss seemed to struggle as if annoyed, it refused to give up the Scorching Heat Master until the end.
[How dare these mere gods set their sights on my precious prey?]
The Abyss was about to tear all the gods apart as if disgusted, but the Scorching Heat Master, feeling like he might really die in the crossfire, shouted loudly.
“You whale bastard! I’m not the Snake God! You’ve mistaken me!”
At the sound coming from its mouth, the Abyss laughed as if telling him to stop bullshitting.
[Don’t talk nonsense. This scent can’t be anything other than the Snake God...]
However, the Abyss, which had been rolling him around in its mouth and savoring the taste, immediately frowned.
And then, as if realizing something, it spat out the Scorching Heat Master, whom it had been chewing on.
“Cough!”
“Madam!”
The Scorching Heat Master, who had fallen to the ground, glared at the Abyss while grinding his teeth.
‘When it thought I was Igeon, it savored me like candy!’
And at that sight, the Kunlun gods stared at the Scorching Heat Master and the Abyss with bewildered expressions.
“It’s fortunate we saved the Snake God, but what’s this? Why did that terrible creature give up the Madam?”
“Isn’t this not the Snake God?”
“……!!”
At that suspicion, the Scorching Heat Master, in human form, flinched.
‘If I’m found out, I’ll die instantly.’
So when Kunlun tried to investigate the Scorching Heat Master, he urgently shouted.
“I! I stabbed that bastard!”
“What?”
“I’m the one who has the achievement of wiping out even Olympus! That whale thing is nothing to me!”
At that shout, the Abyss looked at the Scorching Heat Master as if dumbfounded, but soon turned away as if it didn’t even feel he was worth dealing with.
At that sight, the Scorching Heat Master shouted.
“Look! Isn’t it running away with its tail between its legs because it was defeated by me on Earth too!”
“Oh. As expected of the bride chosen by the Great Sage God!”
The Abyss, disappearing into the shadows, was dumbfounded but soon acted as if it didn’t matter.
[Well, as long as your old saint wasn’t taken by Kunlun, it’s fine.]
“……!”
Was that a voice only the Scorching Heat Master could hear?
And at the Abyss’s words, seemingly referring to Hugo, the Scorching Heat Master made a strange expression.
‘It’s fine that my saint wasn’t taken by Kunlun...’
Why would the monarch suddenly mention Hugo, not Igeon?
‘Maybe because it’s a desirable prey?’
Since he’s with Igeon and is Igeon’s subordinate god, it was understandable.
But the disappearing Abyss let out a laugh.
[I must show some courtesy to a fellow of my kind.]
“……?”
The Scorching Heat Master’s frown deepened.
‘Fellow of my kind?’
I don’t know what kind of bullshit that bastard was spouting, but that wasn’t important right now.
“Ack! Why is the Great Sage God here! He’s supposed to be away!”
That’s right.
The Scorching Heat Master, who had been enshrined in the Great Sage God’s palace, was being chased by the Great Sage God.
‘After all the trouble of stealing the peaches and emptying Kunlun’s warehouse and sending them to Igeon!’
Now that my work is done, all that’s left is to escape!
‘That nephew of mine isn’t even answering!’
In the end, feeling like he really might lose his purity, the Scorching Heat Master urgently sent an SOS.
“Ines! Save me!”
He used a telepathy skill on the Virgo Saint God.
But.
-Sorry. The Snake Master says to just leave you be. It seems there was a reason he didn’t return you to your original state and sent you to be sold to Kunlun in the first place.
“What? You bastard?? He deliberately sold me?”
-They say you have a hidden divinity. Awaken it and become the Snake Master’s slave.
“……??!”
No, was that his purpose?
-Anyway, good luck. If it’s a Creator divinity, those guys might crawl out.
At those words, the Scorching Heat Master flinched.
Few people know about his past besides Igeon.
Well, from the moment he calls him nephew, the relationship is bound to be revealed.
‘Ines, are you perhaps looking for those targeting the Creators?’
In fact, when he met Aslan recently, didn’t he say so?
-Anyway, elder brother, please watch over Geon carefully. There is someone targeting the power of the Abyss. Possibly that person instigated you to kill our parents.
It was the mastermind who even killed Igeon’s mother.
‘What’s certain is that there are those who want the Creators dead.’
And if it’s revealed that the survivor, Igeon, exists, he will be targeted too.
Therefore, if you can draw out the power of the Creators, you could become bait, but...
-Anyway, isn’t this a good thing? You’re a bachelor anyway. If it’s the Great Sage God, you won’t be too resentful.
“Hey! This isn’t your problem! Is this how siblings treat each other!”
And then, at that moment.
[So you were here.]
Finally, the Great Sage God of Kunlun found the Scorching Heat Master.
And as he approached, taking off his clothes, the Scorching Heat Master urgently shouted.
“Hey, you crazy bastard, I’m not the Snake God! The real Snake God has already fled!”
[I know.]
“Huh?”
The Great Sage God instantly stabbed the Scorching Heat Master’s torso.
Puahk!
“Cough...!”
Red blood spurted, and the Scorching Heat Master glared at the Great Sage God in pain.
The Great Sage God laughed lightly.
[I took off my clothes only because I didn’t want to stain my divine robe with the blood of a lowly wretch like you.]
“……!!”
At the same time, the Scorching Heat Master, whose chest had been pierced, returned to his original appearance.
[I aimed for instant death, but you have a considerable piece of armor. Was that also made by the Snake God?]
The Great Sage God was greatly intrigued, but the Scorching Heat Master, vomiting blood, couldn’t speak.
Thanks to the Garment of Life that Igeon had made for him, he avoided instant death, but it was a critical blow.
[I didn’t expect you to steal that precious peach from my garden in the meantime, but since you seem to have sent it to the Snake God, I’ll let that slide.]
“You bastard...”
[Even the Great Sage Gods are troubled by you, a famous thief in the divine realm. Moreover, killing a divinity of your caliber will at least earn me a precious 5-star achievement (divine merit).]
Saying that a treasure had rolled in, the Great Sage God was about to dismantle the Scorching Heat Master.
Flash!
“!”
As if waiting for this moment.
Suddenly, the clothes that Igeon had made for the Scorching Heat Master began to shine.
‘!’
That wasn’t all.
The clothes suddenly stretched out in all directions, roughly wrapping around the Great Sage God’s arm that was piercing the Scorching Heat Master’s chest.
Kwa-jik!!
At that sight, the Scorching Heat Master looked surprised, and the Great Sage God raised his eyebrows as if to say ‘look at this’.
[This insolent wretch.]
At that sight, the gods of Kunlun were shocked and alarmed.
“Master!”
And the Scorching Heat Master heard an unbelievable sound.
[The Snake Master’s Creation Workshop skill is being activated.]
[Beginning to turn the target into a weapon of the Snake Master.]
* * *
It was around that time.
Flash!
Igeon, who had used a ticket, fell into an unfamiliar village.
And Hugo, who had fallen with him, looked around.
“This place... it’s like Earth, right?”
It wasn’t the divine realm.
Rather, this place was a dimension that the gods colonized, like Earth.
A place where residents lived, sending tribute to the gods like humans.
Simply put, you could call it another world.
But the surroundings were a mechanical city.
[Arrived at the destination.]
[100 million lives are being detected.]
[Non-human beings exist.]
At the mention of non-humans, Igeon immediately frowned.
“We don’t know what kind of bastards are here. Be on guard.”
Sure enough.
It was then.
Whoosh!
Suspicious objects rushed at Igeon and Hugo. At that killing intent, Hugo immediately drew his bow.
“Geon!”
Finally, the objects revealed themselves.
And the revealed objects were none other than monster beastmen.
The creatures, boasting insane speed, viciously tried to bite Igeon.
At that, Igeon summoned Heavenly Punishment, and the moment Hugo was about to shoot an arrow in haste!
Bba-gak!!!
“!!”
A figure falling from the sky instantly dealt with the monsters.
And at the sight of the familiar figure that had fallen, both Hugo and Igeon’s eyes widened.
It couldn’t be helped.
“Hailey!”
“Yeonwoo??”
Women whose presence here was inexplicable had fallen.
And at the same time, after dealing with the enemies, Yeonwoo and Hailey seemed to notice each other’s presence and became wary.
But the one who was truly flustered was Igeon.
Why were those two here?
“Hailey, you were with me in the divine realm the whole time until the Scorpio Saint God called you and you went that way. Why are you here...?”
“Ah, I was tracking that Eden bastard and came this way...”
But at those words, Yeonwoo’s head creaked as she turned.
“You, you were together in the divine realm the whole time?”
A face that asked what on earth had happened while she was gone.
But whether he knew it or not, Igeon looked at Yeonwoo.
“And Yeonwoo, I heard you were at our house and then went to Eden’s headquarters, so why are you here...?”
“Ah, I was, but I sensed the energy of the Snake Master’s sacred ground here, so...”
At the same time, this time Hailey’s head turned.
“…Our house?”
A shocked face as if asking, ‘Are you still living together?’
But whether he knew or not the expressions of the two, Igeon said, as if it was fine.
“Still, it’s good that you were here first. Did you happen to see Seongjae and Jaewon here?”
At that, the two looked in the same direction with a strange expression.
“Well, we searched since it’s an enemy den, but the internal state was a bit strange...”
“Strange?”
They had come expecting a fight, but the state inside was strange.
“It’s clearly an Eden colony, but the Eden flag isn’t even properly hung...”
“The residents who should be carrying tribute aren’t visible either.”
“Only, livestock are being mercilessly dragged to a suspicious tower in the center...”
At those words, Igeon frowned and headed toward the village.
Thinking that perhaps Seongjae or Lee Jaewon might be in danger.
And Igeon hurriedly ran to the building they mentioned.
Then immediately, enemies appeared.
They emanated strong hostility toward Igeon, who had broken through the barrier.
“Where do you think you’re intruding?”
The beastmen, seemingly residents of the Eden colony, viciously tried to tear Igeon apart.
But right then.
“Hey! Do you want to die? Who do you think you’re messing with right now! Don’t you listen to the sect leader’s orders?!”
“!”
Someone roughly kicked the beastmen and revealed themselves.
And at the unfamiliar voice, everyone flinched in surprise.
But Igeon was even more surprised after that.
It couldn’t be helped.
“Uncleeeee!”
“!!”
Someone came running dududu and jumped onto Igeon, clinging like a koala.
“Uncle!!!”
The way of speaking and the energy were unmistakably Cheon Seongjae.
But the sight of Cheon Seongjae, shedding tears and snot, was completely different from the figure they knew.
Sure enough.
“Wait, are you Seongjae? Why have you grown so much!”
The short little kid had disappeared, and there stood an adult Snake Master saint, no, the sect leader of the Eden colony.
