Just a moment ago.
[ moves.]
[ moves.]
Igeon was watching the scene of Hugo’s delivery unfold in real time. Well, more accurately, he was listening to the situation in real time rather than watching it.
[ was slammed into the ground.]
[ throws a fit, saying this isn’t the place.]
[ moves to the next delivery location.]
[ fell into a food waste dump.]
[ swears, saying they’ll kill this bastard.]
[ moves to the next delivery location.]
……
[ has fallen into a manhole.]
[ has fallen into a dung pit.]
Listening to all this in real time, Igeon couldn’t help but click his tongue.
After all, there were a total of fourteen candidates considered to be the goddess of childbirth.
But the first, the second, and even up to the tenth had all turned out to be complete duds.
‘None of the ones I’d guessed were the real deal.’
The three goddesses he’d assumed—the Samshin Grandmother, the Angel of Conception—were all apparently busts.
And by that point, Igeon began to think that the goddess who had appeared before them might not actually be a goddess of childbirth after all.
‘Then is it someone else who stole the divinity of childbirth?’
If that were the case, there was a real chance Hugo had been sent to the wrong place.
And in that scenario, Cheon Ji-u was in danger.
For now, the power of
If this situation continued, eventually a moment could come where he’d have to choose between the mother or the child.
‘Then….’
Igeon’s expression turned grim.
But right at that moment.
[’s delivery has stopped.]
[ begins to fight.]
[ Enraged has attacked the goddess of childbirth.]
“!”
It seemed that, in the midst of all this, Hugo had managed to find his target.
Of course, there was a problem in the process.
[ is trying to use the on Snake Master.]
[ with eyes sparkling, tries to find out Snake Master’s address.]
[ refuses, asking how dare they target their parent.]
[ tenaciously tries to find out Snake Master’s address.]
This son of a…?
Igeon’s blood boiled.
He’d sent the fountain pen out precisely to hunt down those divine bastards, and now it was already trying to pull a fast one and use it on him.
‘Is it trying to devour me, too?’
Well, the fountain pen’s parent was Igeon himself. It wouldn’t betray the parent who made it, so there was no way it would ever find out his address, even if it killed itself trying.
And at that moment, as if he’d caught wind of the situation, Lee Jae-won shot him a worried look.
“Mr. Igeon, was it really a good idea to give that item away to
“I didn’t give it; I lent it. If I call, it’ll return.”
“That’s not what I meant. The opponent is a monarch….”
Monarchs were the enemy of humanity.
Realizing what Jae-won was worried about, Igeon raised the corner of his mouth.
“It’s fine.”
“!”
That guy, in his own way, didn’t kill Jageunsajuin. He hadn’t killed him, either.
And hadn’t he said he wouldn’t lay a finger on Igeon, who’d even prepared a buffet for him?
In other words, the guy was someone with some flexibility.
And a guy at that level would be the sort you could talk things out with…
[ asks to be allowed to devour Snake Master.]
[ asks to be allowed to devour Snake Master.]
[’s affection for Snake Master has skyrocketed.]
[ asks to be allowed to devour Snake Master.]
Pop.
…So maybe it really is a bastard you can’t talk things out with.
Igeon’s blood boiled again.
Well, all those monster bastards were enemies.
He was planning to kill them all anyway.
[ has been rejected by the fountain pen.]
[ Dejected now writes down the addresses of the other gods.]
Along with an unexpected notification, the voice he’d been waiting for rang out.
[ has dealt with the goddess of childbirth, Eileithyia.]
Then an astonishing thing happened.
“Mr. Igeon!”
“Dear!”
The eerie membrane of light that had been enclosing Cheon Ji-u vanished. It had been the power of the goddess of childbirth who had been obstructing her delivery.
The startled doctors rushed into action.
“Approach her!”
“It’s okay! Now we can touch her without being thrown back!”
The doctors, realizing the divine obstruction had disappeared, quickly moved.
“Hurry and get the baby out!!”
Igeon, who had been continuously using the power of
Flash!
[Activates the power of
[Prevents the mother’s exhaustion and restores her energy.]
[Infuses the child with energy so it can be born in one go.]
In truth, the divinity of
But Igeon poured in stronger power than ever before.
‘Don’t make your mother suffer. Just come out.’
And so, the child was born.
“Waaah!!!”
It was a child who would make Hugo cry.
* * *
And now.
“What the hell!!!”
Hugo came charging into the hospital, panicked.
It was all because of something Igeon had said.
“The baby’s born, so why am I crying! Why!”
“H-Hugo-nim?”
“What is it! What’s going on!!”
Everyone was surprised by Hugo’s sudden appearance.
And Hugo was strictly Igeon’s subordinate god. He was someone who’d been summoned by his master’s summoning skill.
Of course, given where he’d been sent, it had taken him a bit of time to return.
In any case, driven half-mad with fire in his eyes because of Igeon’s words, Hugo was white as a sheet.
“Is there something wrong with the baby?! Don’t tell me Ji-u…?”
“Ah, well, that’s, um….”
As everyone in the lounge was taken aback, Igeon appeared with a smirk.
“Both are fine. They’re perfectly healthy and in one piece, all right?”
“Then why!”
“Never mind that. Just hold your kid.”
“!”
Igeon knocked on the hospital room where Cheon Ji-u was.
Normally, the baby would have to be in the newborn nursery, but this place was under the effect of Igeon’s
Hugo quickly entered the safest place in the world.
“Ji-u!”
“Honey!”
Thankfully, Cheon Ji-u looked perfectly unharmed, too.
No, not just unharmed—thanks to Igeon’s
And Hugo was able to see.
The tiny life form his wife was holding.
Igeon smiled, looking at the baby wrapped in a swaddling cloth.
“It’s a daughter. Aren’t you just dying of happiness?”
“Ah…!”
Hugo’s face lit up as he looked at the child. Cheon Seong-jae, who had followed him in, was also shedding (?) tears as if deeply moved.
“I’ve never had a little sister before. This is the absolute best.”
“Hey. I’m your sibling too, you know.”
“Ah, I don’t need that. Little sisters are the best. Unlike some people, she’s crazy cute. Truly the best.”
Cheon Seong-jae got smacked by his older sister again.
She was a sister who boasted one of the top beauties in the world and was immensely popular, but to Cheon Seong-jae, she was merely a registered family mate and a fandom info mate, nothing more.
In reality, the newborn baby was adorable and pretty.
But that wasn’t all.
“The third one looks exactly like you, doesn’t she?”
Hugo let out an emotional roar.
Yu-ha and Seong-jae took after their mother, but the third was a daughter who took after Hugo.
Her eyelashes were long, and resembling her father, her hair and brow color were light.
Well, it had been better that they took after his wife, but the ones who did strangely liked Igeon more than him.
“Oh god, thank you!!”
“You’re welcome.”
“…….”
Cheon Ji-u, as if telling him to hold the baby, held the child out to Hugo.
“Say hello at least.”
Hugo stretched out his arms and burst into a storm of sobs as the tiny little baby squirmed.
“So this is why you said I’d cry…!! My kid!”
At Hugo’s sobbing, Igeon looked stern.
“No. That’s not it.”
“Huh? What do you mean, it’s not?”
“Well… maybe seeing for yourself would be better.”
“S-See for myself?”
Right then, a strange sense of foreboding washed over him. Hugo almost screamed as he was about to receive the baby.
“Ack!”
The moment Hugo tried to take the baby, the third child shot up into the air as if avoiding his hands.
She actually—no joke—actually floated up.
“????!?!!”
Hugo’s expression was a sight to behold as the newborn baby slipped from his hands and drifted into the sky.
Screaming, he instinctively tried to catch the baby, but the baby was truly flying through the air!
“Ah, u-waah?! What the hell is this!!”
At Hugo’s reaction, everyone shook their heads as if they’d already experienced it once.
“As you can see….”
“The baby isn’t exactly normal….”
“?????”
But the important part started now. The baby, floating in the air, wiggled her little arms and legs in a toddling motion and flew straight to Igeon.
And then, as if she liked him, she landed right on his fluffy head with a plop.
And as if to say, ‘This is Daddy,’ she smiled brightly with a perfectly contented face.
Igeon, wearing the baby like a hat, pointed to himself as if showing off.
“Seems she’s in the process of recognizing me as her father.”
“#*$&#*#?!!”
Hugo, looking as if he’d heard utterly nonsensical bullshit, quickly snatched the baby back.
“She flew over because she thought your kid’s head was a toy! Hello! I’m your daddy…!”
Hugo hugged the baby tight so she would never fly to Igeon again.
“See, this is how much she likes her dad…”
But in that moment, Hugo was left speechless.
Zoom!
Far from liking him, the baby had vanished from his arms.
“?!!!”
When the baby disappeared, Hugo’s face was one of total mental breakdown.
“Where did she go!!”
“Here.”
“?!”
As if by teleport, the baby who had disappeared in an instant was in Igeon’s arms. As if she truly recognized Igeon as her father, she liked Igeon immensely.
Even going so far as to teleport.
At that sight, Hugo looked at Cheon Seong-jae, the mage, as if feeling utterly wronged.
“Son whose name I don’t know!!! Is this your way of getting revenge!”
No matter how much she liked her uncle, was there really any need to go as far as teleporting just to mess with him?
But Cheon Seong-jae pouted, as if asking what he took him for.
“No matter how much it’s me, I wouldn’t use teleport on a baby. It’s dangerous, you know.”
“You’re saying you didn’t teleport her?”
Then, could it be…
At those words, Igeon, who was returning the baby to Cheon Ji-u, grinned.
“Seems like she awakened even before she was born. And it looks like she recognizes me as her dad.”
“#&*#(@!!!”
“Speak in human language, kid.”
“#$^#&@^%&!!!!”
The mocked Hugo, for the first time in a long while, reverted to a caveman.
When Hugo, feeling pitiful, clung to his wife and sobbed, Cheon Ji-u patted his back.
“It’s probably because Mr. Igeon used plenty of the power of
“Heh heh. For prenatal education, I also read the Uncle Biography to her every day.”
“I played the Uncle Documentary for prenatal ed, too.”
“Ah…! Don’t worry! I, at least, told old stories about you, Hugo-nim. Though most of them were stories of you getting beaten by Mr. Igeon….”
All of you are completely useless!!!
“#$^$&#^(You’re all the same)!!”
“Gwi-sun-i here at least intensely brainwashed her that uncle is a bad person, but did it not work?”
“Yeah, Gwi-sun even cursed and gave really enthusiastic prenatal education, saying she was gonna die from overwork while organizing the Bible….”
They pouted, saying how much could they have even increased the Bible anyway.
In the end, Cheon Ji-u patted Hugo, saying the baby would recognize her dad soon, and Igeon just felt relieved that nothing went wrong.
‘Well, though the Earth is probably going to be in an uproar for a while.’
Igeon narrowed his brow.
He’d heard from Kevin that, of all things, the angels had caused a ruckus, and places connected to the Divine Realm had apparently appeared all over the world.
And that gods had begun abominably crossing over into those places.
‘They dare think of turning my territory into a battlefield for gods?’
He should have recognized it from the moment they tried to plant some strange tree here.
And if there was one more problem, it was the issue of Hugo’s soul.
‘Well… he seems fine for now.’
It seemed Hugo’s true identity was spreading through the Divine Realm.
Well, that wasn’t what mattered right now.
“Hyo-sun-i!!!!”
“What?”
“The third child’s name is Hyo-sun-i!!! It’s Hyo-sun, meaning she loves her daddy!!!”
Igeon smacked Hugo on the head.
