As Expected (1)

He says he likes it above.

Why isn't he taking the arm?

Egeon tilted his head as if it was strange.

That was understandable, since Eun was impatient, a more beastly fellow than other lords.

Honestly, it wouldn't be strange if he rushed at him right now.

But just then, a notification sounded.

[He says he'll visit soon.]

[He says he'll dress up prettily and visit at night.]

At that voice, Egeon frowned sharply.

That's just like him.

'He's coming to eat a late-night snack.'

Egeon glared at the spot where the abyss had disappeared.

Well, seeing that he disappeared without doing anything even after seeing humans, he doesn't seem to be someone who can't be reasoned with at all.

'If his goal is a late-night snack, I'll just boil some ramen or something.'

He's someone I can use as much as I want if I use my own(?) arm as bait.

And the moment the abyss disappeared, a huge explosion sounded.

Boom!!

The sound came from the direction of the light that had swallowed the Great God.

Rumble!

At the same time, an astonishing thing happened.

"Lord Egeon!"

From the light that had swallowed the Great God, a giant of light shot up. It was a golden monster with the head of a bird.

And the giant blazing like the sun roared fiercely as if to seize Egeon.

[Hwaryunju (Ennead Great God) activates his divine achievement (legend) skill.]

[Achievement: ]

[Hwaryunju sends out his incarnation.]

It seemed he intended to somehow take Egeon as well and smash the earth.

Sure enough.

The giant's sharp hand, emitting fierce flames, threatened Egeon.

Rumble!

At that sight, Egeon sneered and drew out the power of . He had enough experience points to convert to Cycle.

[ experience 100%]

[ experience 100%]

[Conditions met, converting to .]

First, he filled life experience by helping Cheon Ji-woo give birth, and as for death, it came in full thanks to Kevin turning the Garden of Eden into a wasteland.

And it was the moment he was about to activate that mighty power.

[My beloved Creator, where are you?]

The moment Egeon flinched at that voice.

Crack!

“……!!”

Strength suddenly left Egeon's body.

It was similar to the brain-shaking feeling he'd experienced when returning home from the Eden colony last time.

'Yeon-woo definitely said it was similar to the power that tries to neutralize the Creator…!'

His ability didn't manifest.

And was that momentary stop enough?

The Great God's incarnation was right before Egeon's eyes in the blink of an eye.

'This bastard.'

At the same time, Egeon ground his teeth, flashed his eyes, and raised the Punishment.

He didn't think he could eliminate the creature without any harm with the Punishment, but he had no choice.

But just then.

Ptoo!

"!"

The slime spat something out in front of Egeon.

And at the fallen object, Egeon's eyes widened.

He couldn't help it.

"Aagh!!! What the! Why are you here!!"

What the slime spat out was none other than the Scribe Gwisun!

And she was the one who, as soon as Egeon went to the divine realm, posted on social media that he was dead (?) and even hid somewhere.

Egeon gave a hollow laugh at the sight of her.

'So that's where she ran off to.'

But Gwisun, who had appeared out of nowhere, screamed again.

"Aagh!!! What is that thing!!"

She screamed at the sight of the fire giant before her.

"Why is there a monster here!!"

But in that instant, the slime quickly wrapped around Gwisun's head.

Then an astonishing thing happened.

Flash!

As if the slime unlocked her ability, the ability was forcibly activated.

[Divine Achievement Edit]

At the same time, light burst out and the golden flaming giant flinched and stopped.

As if the opponent couldn't move while that skill was in activation.

Of course, Gwisun herself screamed.

"Aagh! I can't see! I can't see! Get off my head! Mmph!!"

The slime ignored her completely and continued its work.

[Achievement Delete]

With that, the giant's body, which had stopped, began to dissipate.

Kwakwagwang!

It was as if it decomposed into chunks of light and scattered in all directions.

And at that sight, the furious voice of the Ennead Great God who had sent the giant rang out.

[A scribe? Those loathsome dogs of the Creator still remain.]

“……?”

He wondered what that meant, but soon a chunk of scattering light brushed past Egeon's body.

At that moment, Egeon saw a bizarre sight.

It seemed to be a past memory engraved in the giant's soul.

-Creators, listen.

-You have made something that should not have been made.

It was the Great Gods and Holy Gods protesting to the Creators.

-A Bible, you say? For what reason did you create such a thing, and for what reason did you distribute it to mere lower gods, not even Holy Gods?

-I humbly report, but gods have short power and lifespan without believers. Conversely, if there are believers, power and lifespan increase infinitely. And the Great Gods and Holy Gods have many followers, so their power and lifespan are ample, but lower gods are not so fortunate.

-So?

-They are all gods born with difficulty, and it is pitiful that they die quickly due to short lifespans, so we created it to extend their lifespans.

-Lifespan?

-Yes. When they accomplish something special, it is recorded in the Bible, and with that power they can grow on their own, increasing their abilities and lifespan.

-Grow power, extend lifespan? Have you truly lost your minds! Power and long lifespan are permitted only to Holy Gods!

-If you don't want to die early, just become a vassal of a Holy God and pledge loyalty as you do now!

-Are you trying to give independence rights to mere slaves!?

It was a scene of a big argument with the Creators.

And with the , the giant completely vanished, and the scene disappeared.

Eventually, when the giant created by divine achievement disappeared, the Great God squeezed his face out of the summoning circle connected to Duat.

'!'

He looked extremely pissed off.

[Ennead Great God raises synchronization rate.]

[Synchronization rate 52%]

[Synchronization rate 53%]

The Great God was about to emerge from the summoning circle and seize Gwisun.

But at that moment, Egeon's paralyzed ability returned as well.

Egeon immediately condensed the power of the in his hand.

Kwajijik!!

He filled it with nearly all the power he had.

He hurled the cube-like condensed power at the Great God.

If he set off the power of the in that summoning circle instead of on Earth, it would have less environmental impact.

But the Great God dodged the power of the .

"!"

At that, Egeon hurriedly tried to create another one.

Kwajik!!

The slime caught the Cycle's power like a baseball and hurled it at the Great God.

Flash!!!

The power stuck to the Great God's body. And meeting his intense power, it caused a powerful reaction.

Kwajijik!!

The Ennead Great God grabbed the condensed power to avoid being swept up by it. And he tried to re-condense it so it wouldn't explode, but the power was what it was.

Perhaps he couldn't manage both attack and this, and in the end, he was sucked back beyond the summoning circle.

But maybe he was really pissed off.

"!"

A ray of light extending from the Great God's body grabbed the slime.

In an instant, the slime disappeared with the Great God beyond the summoning circle.

Thud!!

The summoning circle completely vanished.

It had happened in the blink of an eye. The Ennead Great God had completely disappeared from Earth.

Gwisun and the followers, who had almost died, finally collapsed and looked at Egeon.

"A-Are you all right?"

"M-More importantly, the slime got dragged away? Is that okay?"

Egeon frowned.

Strictly speaking, the slime was not a living creature but an object.

That is, the second creation, made by mixing ingredients while half-asleep, whose composition was unknown.

"Well. It's not something that would die even if you tried to kill it, so it's fine…"

Not knowing what it was, he had put it in boiling water and cut it, but it only slapped itself with a 'cheolcheok cheolcheok' sound and didn't die no matter what he did.

And right now, that wasn't important.

"Hey, you son of a bitch. You were watching, right."

Egeon called his vassal god from the shadows. And Anubis, who was in the shadow, flinched in surprise.

[W-What do you mean?]

"What do I mean. Your Great God was about to kill Osiris too, right?"

[…Th-That is!]

"And you'll end up the same way, right?"

[…….]

Egeon told Anubis, who was sweating profusely, to throw away his loyalty.

"Do you know about the power that immobilizes the Creator?"

[!]

"Speak, you bastard."

Then Anubis hesitated greatly and said.

[Creators are such excellent gods that they are direct gods under the Ancient God. But there are ones who can uniquely immobilize even them.]

"Who are they?"

[They are called the . They are related to Khruder and are called god hunters. At the same time, they are Creator hunters. They are fallen gods and enemies of the gods.]

"Then…."

[Probably the reason you couldn't move was because of those Evil Gods.]

The , huh.

Then was that strange voice those guys?

Egeon smiled as if intrigued.

* * *

Around that time, in the Ennead.

Boom!!

The slime, having escaped the Great God and crossed into the Ennead, was being chased by something.

Boom! Boom!

And the ones chasing the slime were none other than assassins sent by the Ennead Great God.

At the sight of the wolf-like assassins, the gods were in uproar.

"Kyaa! What is that!"

"Aren't those Hwaryunju's subordinates!"

"What are they chasing? An enemy?"

"To call it an enemy…"

The thing running away whining was a lump of slime.

That's right.

But the fleeing slime was swallowing all sorts of things in the Ennead area.

"Kyaa! It stole jewels from here!"

"Meat from our house!"

And the place the slime headed to after stealing enough things was the elevator to other areas in the divine realm!

Was it to return to Earth?

It was the moment the slime hurriedly tried to move to that tall tower.

Boom!!!!

The tower the slime was heading to was completely destroyed.

With screams, a huge flame soared up.

At the same time, a cold voice rang out.

"Now there's nowhere left to run."

The gods were shocked.

"Hwaryunju!"

"Lord Hwaryunju!"

A young god revealed himself.

He was covered in wounds here and there, but he was the Ennead's Great God .

One of the supreme gods who had never been succeeded, existing since the creation of the divine realm.

looked at the slime and smiled coldly.

Of course, he should have been beaten by the and trapped in Duat, but he had come chasing the fleeing slime.

He had barely suppressed the power of the and condensed it so it wouldn't activate even now.

Of course, it wasn't without damage.

'That detestable bastard.'

But the gods were actually horrified at the sight of the Great God in his disheveled state.

"Lord Hwaryunju. Your appearance is just…!"

"Ah. I got like this while smashing through Duat."

"You smashed the underworld…! Could it be that the rumored destruction of Duat was your doing?!"

"You destroyed territory?!"

"Hmph, I can just recreate that trivial thing."

"What?! But wasn't that a place made by the Creators!"

"There's no one who could recreate something like that!"

"Why wouldn't there be?"

"What?"

The Great God reached out his hand as if annoyed. At the same time, golden vines shot out and roughly bound the slime.

Boom!!

As the vines slammed the slime into the wall, the gods screamed.

"Lord Hwaryunju…!!"

"What on earth is that thing…!"

But soon, as the bound slime's appearance changed, everyone was horrified.

"That's…!"

The Great God smiled an annoyed smile.

"You ran away well with that pathetic appearance all this time?"

What the slime changed into was none other than a blond man.

"Ah. The old man still has great strength. Let's share the good stuff."

It was Egeon's father and the previous Serpent Holder Holy God, Asran.
