It was extremely rare for an unknown lower god to gain the godhood of a higher god.
Even if they received a transfer, it was because their body would explode, unable to withstand the powerful godhood.
‘And if it’s a human, it’s even more dangerous.’
Of course, among the humans of the colonies, there were plenty who built up achievements, became heroes, and gained godhood, but at best they were lower gods!
‘There’s no way they could withstand the godhood of a Landlord God!’
Well, the reason the Serpent God forced that godhood on him was obvious, though.
‘Vassal gods are the main force of the holy gods!’
‘With a godhood of Ares’s level, one can exert power nearly equal to a battle god!’
They could unleash the combat power of thousands with just one.
Sure enough, everyone gnashed their teeth at that light.
Because from the start, they had to prevent the Serpent God’s faction from growing.
‘It’ll be troublesome if that bastard becomes one of the Nine Great Powers.’
But even while flustered, they smiled as if it had turned out well.
“It doesn’t matter. The problem comes after swallowing that godhood.”
“!”
All godhoods had traits and histories.
And the godhood of Ares was itself incredibly ferocious.
Thus, while it had the advantage of gaining high combat power, because it inherently contained traits of madness and ferocity, all gods who received it had their personalities changed.
Truly, from those who destroyed their surroundings because they couldn’t control their destructive impulses, to those who tormented themselves.
Even the previous generation had been calm, but after receiving Ares’s godhood, didn’t they turn into a ferocious temperament?
“Didn’t more than dozens of higher gods die during the transfer, even in the previous generations!”
Well, that’s how Landlord God-level godhood transfers always are, but still.
Thus, they clicked their tongues.
“It’s all the holy god’s greed. The godhood will soon fail and emerge, so prepare to retrieve it. It’s the godhood of , after all.”
“Yes. That poor bastard. He won’t be able to withstand it and will die… .”
But just then.
“Uwooo!! Sowooooon!!”
“!?”
From the roaring Cheon Seongjae’s body, rough flames shot up.
[The saint has completely absorbed the war god’s godhood.]
[A new authority is granted to the saint.]
[The power of the war god and the saint’s traits merge.]
[The saint’s physical body and technical skill increase.]
He had grown much taller while in the Eden Colony and had built up his body in the process, but he was still a human body.
However, the moment he embraced the godhood of Ares, his speed, power, combat techniques, all his combat stats and his physical body were strengthened.
So-called another awakening!
A massive explosion of flames occurred.
At the same time, Cheon Seongjae burst out of the flames, fire clinging to his arms and legs.
“!!”
Cheon Seongjae immediately launched a kick at the gods.
Bang!!
Along with intense flames, the enemies were swept away.
The kicked gods glared with wide eyes.
“This bastard…! The power of the war god!!”
Originally, Cheon Seongjae was a knowledge-based mage type who used magic from a distance.
But now, with his physical abilities enhanced by Ares’s godhood, Cheon Seongjae was in optimal condition as a close-combat mage!
[Speed Increase]
“Soo-woo-eong!!!”
Having cast buff magic on his body, Cheon Seongjae flew at the gods’ heads with his knee.
Bang!!
As a bonus, he dropped a triple fireball strike so the fallen gods couldn’t get back up.
“Keok!!”
The gods gnashed their teeth, and I Geon smiled coldly.
Right now, gods were still invading Earth.
‘To attack and defend against gods, possessing godhood is essential.’
Because with a human body, you can’t face gods.
‘Well, it seems the Virgo Holy God meticulously adjusted things for Yuha.’
Even if one was qualified, it was the godhood of a Landlord God.
So the Virgo Holy God seemed to have provided various guidance, like building a body suitable for the godhood.
Even more so, they guided her authority to match her position.
In short, meticulous supervision.
But.
‘Who cares about detailed guidance.’
Adjustments and whatever, as long as I can just smash everything, that’s enough.
And I know you shouldn’t awaken godhood like this normally.
‘As long as I don’t die, it’s fine.’
was laughing while generously pouring his power into it.
After all, with the power of , there’s no chance of becoming crippled or losing one’s life.
Soon, as Cheon Seongjae, imbued with a battle godhood, began to devastate the surroundings, the gods gnashed their teeth and shouted.
“Summon the evil gods!”
They took out a shining object. It was so bright that its exact appearance couldn’t be made out.
But I Geon, upon seeing it, tilted his head as if surprised.
“Those are my clothes… .”
They were clothes he had taken off and left at the Jagyeolsa Lord’s castle, saying that Earth attire was too conspicuous.
[Clothes left behind by the Serpent Lord (SS)]
- All things touched by a god are imbued with that god’s power.
- Contains the power of
- 5% health recovery per minute
- Defense increase (SS)
It seemed the bastards were using those as bait to lure the evil gods.
Because his own scent, that is, the aura of the Creator, would remain on them. It would be perfect to use those clothes with skills as bait.
And the reason those were in their hands was one.
‘That Jagyeolsa bastard, was he eventually captured by the divine realm?’
But regardless, the bastards raised one of I Geon’s clothes high.
“Hunters. Here is the Creator you love… .”
However, they couldn’t finish their sentence.
“?!”
Because the object they were holding had disappeared.
“What, where did it… .”
“Uncle’s hat is mine!!!!”
“……!!”
Somehow, Cheon Seongjae had stolen the item and was glaring.
I Geon looked flustered.
“…Was that a hat?”
Even he didn’t know what kind of item it was.
At that sight, the gods looked bewildered.
‘That damn battle god’s godhood.’
The snatching speed was too fast.
But they soon picked up another piece of clothing, as if it didn’t matter.
“Evil gods… .”
“Uncle’s T-shirt is mine!!!”
“Evil gods… .”
“Uncle’s jacket is mine!!”
“Ev… .”
“Uncle’s pants are mine!!!”
“E… .”
“Uncle’s underwear is m… keok!!”
I Geon kicked Cheon Seongjae away, as if telling him to knock it off.
“That’s not mine, you brat.”
Immediately, I Geon glared at the gods. And the gods, who had all their items for summoning evil gods snatched by Cheon Seongjae, frowned.
They looked at their shadows with fierce eyes. They were calling their vassal gods.
“Bring the evil gods we lured earlier!”
“Aren’t there dozens at the lakeside!”
That was a perfect way to completely neutralize I Geon!
However, at that command, the vassal gods were perplexed.
[Well, we’ve been calling them, but they’re not coming!]
Then, the gods who had come in human form under the orders of the Great Holy Gods trembled.
‘Why aren’t they coming?’
They tried to check the situation, but soon met I Geon’s red eyes.
I Geon was raising the corners of his mouth.
And then, Cheon Seongjae appeared in front of him.
At that sight, the gods immediately retreated.
“If you’re going to squat in our territory, pay tax first!”
Cheon Seongjae’s fist was already approaching right in front of them.
* * *
“What a crazy…!”
At that moment. The vassal gods, who were watching their comrades being beaten in real time, were muttering curses.
“A war god’s godhood!”
“What the hell is that crazy Serpent God doing!”
They had already left the moment they saw that sight.
And they were dumbfounded, saying they’d never seen anyone who thought of manifesting godhood so violently.
No, actually, it was a problem before that.
‘A human withstanding the godhood of a Landlord God?’
At that gaze, one god spoke.
“There are precedents. Wasn’t it said that Athena’s godhood was also transferred to a human wench?”
“……!”
Of course, they had heard it.
They heard that the angels on Earth were done in by Athena’s godhood.
“Of course it’s possible. If a holy god puts their heart and soul into managing and meticulously protecting them.”
But didn’t they clearly see just now.
‘Far from meticulous protection, he shoved the godhood into his mouth!’
There was no special management. He just poured an endless stream of life force.
That means, from the beginning, they had the strength to withstand the godhood.
And where would such power come from!
‘The power of a vassal god is the power of their master!’
‘Because the master’s power is strong, the vassals can endure it too.’
If the master is weak, their vassals weaken relatively.
Knowing that, they swallowed hard.
“Wasn’t it said that the one who received Athena’s godhood was also a saint of the Serpent Lord?”
“Yes. But we heard that was because someone of the Virgo Holy God’s level granted it…!”
They thought Cheon Yuha also received Athena’s godhood because the Virgo Holy God was involved, but it might not be the case.
And at that point, their expressions grew serious.
“If we cannot utilize the evil gods like this, the Great Holy Gods’ plan will go awry.”
The Great Holy Gods wanted to avoid direct combat with I Geon.
Because, after all, he was a god who brought losses if confronted.
So once again, weren’t they trying to use the that appeared after smelling the Creator’s scent?
It was a plan to have all the Landlord Gods appear before the weakened I Geon.
But they couldn’t capture I Geon with the lured evil gods…
“We’ll have to use the Five Calamities.”
“Are we really going that far?”
Those were, in short, the leaders of the .
And they were the closest confidants of the ancient god, the king of gods.
They had always been immensely powerful gods.
But they were the great traitors who assassinated the ancient god and sold his power to Cruder.
“Their corrupted appearances are proof of that.”
When gods break the rules and fall, their appearance becomes hideous, just like the evil gods.
Anyway, that wasn’t important.
“The Five Calamities are gods who even killed the ancient god. That Serpent God won’t be able to rampage in front of them.”
“Then shall we go and find out the location of the Five Calamities? The battle gods have been tracking them since they escaped, so it’ll be quick..”
“No.”
The gods looked somewhere and smiled.
“They are already nearby.”
They disappeared in an instant and alighted in front of someone.
It was in front of Cheon Yuha.
* * *
Meanwhile, at that time, in the Scorpio sanctuary.
Cheon Yuha was pacing around like a fly, unable to sit still.
It was for no other reason.
‘Is uncle okay?’
She wanted to go to I Geon, but she had been cooped up in the sanctuary because of talk that evil gods had appeared.
It was because of what she had heard from the Virgo Holy God when she received Athena’s godhood.
- The evil god that Giselle planted in your arm long ago. That is an evil god called one of the Five Calamities.
- Five Calamities?
- The ones who killed the king of gods. And they were even more taboo because they sold that power to Cruder. They were once the closest confidants of the ancient god, but now they are wanted criminals.
- !
Moreover, they said they were cosmic villains who even sold the Creator’s corpse to the monarchs.
- Anyway, besides this Pantheon, the gods are scattered everywhere. Most are ruffians who can’t enter the Pantheon, but they are quite large factions.
- Then…
- And since the Creator is the only god who can create the divine realm and repair the treasures of the divine realm, his value is still extremely high. To the point of even grave robbing his corpse.
- !
Anyway, since they were villains who sold even the ancient god’s power for a high price, there was no way they would leave the expensive Creator alone.
And the current problem was that one of those damn evil god bosses was in her arm.
‘I’m controlling it with a Leo skill for now… .’
Come to think of it, when she first met uncle, she thought this thing sealed in her arm was rampaging like crazy.
‘And all of that was because uncle is the Creator.’
And it was good that she sent Seongjae to uncle in case something happened, but.
“So one of the evil god bosses is here.”
“!”
Strange gods alighted in front of Cheon Yuha.
She immediately drew her spear and frowned.
‘Valhalla? No, there are gods in outfits I’ve never seen before.’
Are they from one of the other Eight Great Powers?
But the strange gods raised the corners of their mouths and said.
“That power sealing the evil god in your arm… is it the power of the Leo Holy God Narasimha?”
“We heard that someone stole one of the sealed ones. To think it was in that wench… .”
Cheon Yuha attacked the enemies as if they weren’t worth listening to.
Because the reason these bastards came for her was too obvious.
Sure enough.
[Come out. One of the sealed evil god bosses. Nearby is your favorite prey, the Creator.]
Along with that chant, Cheon Yuha’s arm flashed.
They attempted to break the Leo Holy God’s seal and pull out the sealed evil god.
[Come out.]
Grind!!
Cheon Yuha, grinding her teeth, hurled her spear at the bastards.
The merciless attack pierced through their necks.
Kwahh!!!
The gods bit their lips.
Was it for nothing that she possessed Athena’s godhood?
‘She’s strong.’
But that was only for a moment. A sinister power surged up from her arm and something burst out.
At that shock, Yuha flinched as if in pain, and her spear went astray.
The gods raised the corners of their mouths at the roaring figure, as if welcoming it.
“You’ve come out, one of the evil god bosses.”
“With this, we can deal with I Geon without even lifting a finger… .”
But at that moment.
The surging power instead attacked the gods.
“!!”
They wondered what was going on, but soon, upon seeing the figure, the gods’ eyes widened.
“That’s, the Serpent God?”
The form of the rising mist was none other than I Geon’s.
‘Could it be a trap?’
And that was the very moment their attention was stolen.
Crunch!!
At the same time, someone grabbed their skulls.
“I knew you bastards would come out like that.”
It was Yuha.
But her eye color was red.
