Their faces were so close that their noses almost touched. And their bodies were just as close as that short distance.
“……!”
In the end, Lee Gun was so startled by the sudden event that his mouth fell open, but Heili immediately pushed in.
At that sight, the Scorpio subordinates cheered.
[That’s it!! Princess!]
They shouted excitedly from within Heili’s shadow.
[Keep pushing!! You’re stealing the Serpent God’s soul!]
[No, Princess! Your hand a little lower!]
[Lower!! Yes! Just a little lower!! Oooh!]
[Press that part closer! That’s it! Oooh! That’s it!]
[No, just a little more! Make it direct!]
However, their interference didn’t last long.
Flash!!
As if telling them to just shut up.
Heili’s power sent her subordinates flying off somewhere.
At that, the subordinates screamed and vanished.
[Aagh! Princess!]
[You absolutely! Must succeed!]
In the end, even the backseat-driving meddlers completely disappeared.
Thus, only Lee Gun and Heili remained in the room.
* * *
And around that time.
[What do you mean whaaaat?!!]
Kali, on the other end of the phone, was in a massive rage.
[So you’re saying that the Scorpio Saint kidnapped Lord Lee Gun?!]
Kali, who was on the phone with Yoo Ha, looked like she was shooting beams from her eyes.
And now, she was leading Libra as the Libra Saint.
Of course, because angels and the new Saint were invading, she was in the middle of a fight to reclaim her territory at the main sanctuary in Australia, but anyway.
And normally, Yoo Ha would never call Kali, but this time was different.
“Anyway, so Uncle flew off to the Scorpio sanctuary, but the Scorpio sanctuary is originally hidden. But with your Golden Ratio skill, you can find it quickly, right? Since you’re a god who can make anything possible if the price is paid.”
But Kali was screaming as if this were a bolt from the blue.
She had been building her power and waiting only for the day to take Lee Gun!
[My dad’s purity!!!]
“Hey, half-wit. Are you even listening to me?”
[Got it! I’ll find you right now! I’ll come right away!]
The call ended like that. And when the call ended, Yoo Ha looked at the idiot beside her who was radiating killing intent.
“Seongjae, why are you so angry?”
“Does this look like a situation to not be angry?!”
Cheon Seongjae, who was holding hands with Yoo Ha, seemed to have been contacting other places like Yoo Ha.
But.
“Since Sagittarius is full of geniuses, I’ve been contacting the Sagittarius hyungs and noonas!!”
Cheon Seongjae showed his phone and was breathing fire from his mouth.
It wasn’t for any other reason.
[Jaewon: Huh? Tracking the Scorpio sanctuary?]
[Seongjae: Yeah!!!! Uncle’s been kidnapped! His chastity is in danger!!! Help me!!]
[Jaewon: Ah, the Saint is currently absent, so we can’t use our power ^^]
[Seongjae: ????? You’re borrowing magical power! From Ophiuchus!!!]
[Jenny: In that case, we shouldn’t interfere lololol]
[Jihoon: Lee Gun hyung-nim needs to escape being a lifelong single]
[Shu: I want to see a child who resembles Mr. Lee Gun]
[Gote: I don’t want to get cursed for messing with him for no reason…]
[Jaewon: I support it]
[Seongjae: #*$&$#*!!!]
“Argh, these wicked traitors!”
In the end, Cheon Seongjae turned off his phone as if he’d break it, saying that none of them were helpful.
“No, from the start, Sagittarius isn’t helpful, even their original Saint…”
Cheon Seongjae glanced at Hugo.
Hugo, who was blocking the way with his son, was grinning broadly for some reason.
It wasn’t for any other reason.
‘Ah. I did well to tell him.’
That was it.
In fact, a little before Lee Gun was kidnapped by Heili.
When he was beaten by Lee Gun for not telling him the purpose in advance(?). Lee Gun had grabbed his shoulder and asked.
“Hey. Oh Taek-soo. You’re a married man, right.”
“Huh? Yes… well… as you know?”
“A married man who’s had three kids at that age would be good at it, right?”
“…Huh? Good at what?”
“Teach me how to do it.”
“…What, you bastard?”
“I said teach me how to do it!!!”
I don’t know what the hell happened, but it seemed Lee Gun had been disrespected by someone.
And maybe that’s why he was pissed off.
“Show me a demonstration!!!! Teach me directly!”
“What are you talking about, you crazy bastard!! Why would I teach you that!”
“Why! How hard did I do my best to teach you!!! Have you already forgotten that favor, you son of a bitch!!!”
“You lunatic! Is that the same as this!!! And when were you ever kind!”
“Why!! It’s not like I can peep into your bedroom!!!”
“Aagh!!!!”
Saying this crazy bastard really says anything, Hugo cursed up a storm, but still taught him everything he needed to(?) anyway.
So Hugo was looking forward to it in his own way.
‘My nephew! I’m going to have a nephew who’s a fool like his uncle!’
And as soon as Lee Gun has a child, I will repay him in kind!
Cheon Seongjae trembled at the sight of his dad grinning like that.
Hugo seemed to be enjoying the situation, but to the Ophiuchus Saint, it was a boiling rage inside.
‘Even so, a kidnapping right in front of a Saint?’
It was a blow to his pride, and moreover, how dare they kidnap a Holy God and take him to another sanctuary?
“Ah, seriously! Dad, if you’re a follower of Ophiuchus, you should feel the seriousness! The Holy God has been kidnapped! This is no time to be laughing!”
At that, Hugo thought, ‘Oh dear.’
“Well, putting Heili aside, if the Scorpio Holy God has bad intentions, he might not let Lee Gun go….”
Besides, isn’t the Scorpio Holy God the most mysterious of the 13 Holy Gods?
His identity was unknown.
“It certainly could be dangerous….”
“Damn, the plan’s all messed up! I was going to turn into a bombshell and seduce Uncle!!!”
“Are you serious…?”
Hugo’s expression was something to behold.
But regardless, Yoo Ha snatched Cheon Seongjae’s phone and contacted someone.
“I hate to contact her, but she’ll be the surest bet.”
“……?”
Just when they wondered who on earth that child was contacting.
After hearing something from the noona who had ended the call, Cheon Seongjae’s eyes changed.
And muttering something, after a while, he summoned someone.
Flash!
They were none other than the Scorpio subordinate gods!
They were startled when they saw the handsome young man in front of them.
[What, you’re the Ophiuchus Saint!?]
[Damn it, how did this guy summon us!]
Though it would normally be impossible, Cheon Seongjae’s abilities had grown tremendously after acting as a cult leader in the Eden colony for two years.
Cheon Seongjae grabbed the heads of the monster-like Scorpio subordinates and said,
“While I’m asking nicely, tell me the location of the Scorpio sanctuary.”
[Hah, it’s too late anyway. The mood is good!!]
[That’s right! Do you think we’ll let the Serpent God go! At this rate, Ophiuchus will become the Scorpio’s son-in-law… Gguk!]
Someone smiled brightly and grabbed their shoulders.
“Please guide us.”
Cheon Seongjae was also startled by that sight.
“Y-Yeonwoo noona?”
“Right now.”
And at the rising divine might, the Scorpio subordinates and Cheon Seongjae opened their eyes wide.
From her brilliantly smiling body, a new divinity was felt.
* * *
It was around that time.
A storm hit the quiet Scorpio sanctuary.
Boom!!!
[Aagh!!]
A massive explosion occurred in the Scorpio sanctuary.
And the one who found the hidden Scorpio sanctuary and invaded was none other than the Gemini Saint, Heiji.
“Wow, Heili, you’re making the first move?”
The Scorpio subordinates were greatly startled by the sudden invasion of a Saint.
[What, how did she find this place?]
[More importantly, she came all the way inside?]
Then Heiji laughed as if dumbfounded.
“To look down on a Saint.”
Right at that moment, with Heiji’s elegant gesture, many Saints were summoned to the Scorpio sanctuary.
Flash! Flash!
It was teleportation.
And.
“Uncle!!”
The Ophiuchus Saints and Hugo, who was curious about the situation, and Yeonwoo barged in.
Of course, this was strictly the interior of the Scorpio sanctuary. Normally, it was a domain where direct summoning was impossible.
But she was not called the Great Mage among the 12 Saints for nothing.
Not only had she invaded the sanctuary based on the coordinates Yoo Ha provided, but she had even summoned such a number right inside the sanctuary.
And perhaps they called her knowing that even if they found the sanctuary, Heiji was the only one who could bring them inside.
“Find Uncle!”
They moved busily.
And seeing the Scorpio subordinate god in Yeonwoo’s hand, the Scorpio guards let out a sigh.
“The location leaked from those bastards.”
Anyway, it was a situation where intruders had entered the sanctuary.
They gritted their teeth, saying they couldn’t let them pass.
“Here!”
[!!]
The ‘intruders’ quickly found where Lee Gun was.
“It’s Uncle’s energy!”
[Agh! No! That place right now…!]
Immediately, they hurriedly opened the door.
Bang!!
At the same time, Yeonwoo and Heiji who looked inside turned pale.
“Gun-ah!”
“……?”
Lee Gun looked at them as if asking what was going on.
“What. Why are you guys here?”
Lee Gun, who was sitting, was putting on his clothes piece by piece.
At that sight, the flustered Yeonwoo, Heiji, and Yoo Ha looked around, but there was no one in the room.
So Hugo, who had followed, also had a rarely flustered expression.
“G-Gun-ah. Are you alone? Where’s Heili?”
“Ah. She was here just now.”
?!
Lee Gun, who had even put on his outer garment, stood up.
“I told her to let me meet the Scorpio Holy God.”
“……!”
“Anyway, good timing. I was just about to call Seongjae and Yoo Ha.”
However, at those words, the intruders fell into confusion.
Actually, that wasn’t what was important to them.
‘So, was it before or after?’
They had to confirm.
Soon they approached Lee Gun.
Everyone’s eyes gleamed as they reached out their hands toward Lee Gun.
* * *
And around that time.
[I never imagined, my brother. That you would act to such an extent.]
[!]
It seemed that Wind, who had been stood up by Hugo, was extremely angry.
And at that sight, the other Monarchs broke into a sweat.
[What are you planning to do, Father?]
[What can I do? The promised time is soon approaching.]
A long, long time ago, Wind had made a promise with the one being executed in the divine realm along with his other sworn brothers.
When they reached the cycle when the Kruders’ power became strongest.
They decided to gather all the sleeping Monarchs and scattered Kruders to devour all living things in every dimension.
And that cycle is right now. It overlapped with the time when the executed one revives.
And didn’t Wind say before he disappeared?
-At that time, I will awaken as well. At that time, let’s eliminate everything and leave only the Kruders.
Even so, he never thought he would revive in human form.
Anyway, Wind had nurtured the Monarchs and cultivated talented ones for this very moment. Even letting him loose had been a rehearsal for this time.
[Well, it works out. And what a guy this is. He’s going so far to hunt that Creator that he’s even fooling us.]
[Then….]
[I will use that Serpent God to create the strongest Monarch.]
At those words, the 2nd generation Monarchs flinched in surprise.
It wasn’t for any other reason.
[That means you’re going to kill the Serpent God and use his corpse, right!]
[Then you’ll end up fighting that person…!]
At that, Wind laughed.
[No. That person only desires the Creator’s divinity. Because the Creator has the one thing that I lack.]
[!]
[He’s a guy who isn’t satisfied unless he takes things himself. So if we just tear off the Creator’s divinity and give it to him, that’s enough. We’ll never have to fight my brother.]
Wind and the Kruders planned to devour the gods’ colonies, humans, and even the gods of the divine realm.
Turning the land of the divine realm into Kruder land was a given.
[If we turn the Serpent God into a Monarch, a peerless, unprecedented Monarch beyond comparison will be born. It will help our cause.]
Wind laughed.
