The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero-Novel

Chapter 348: Caught you(?) (1)

At the highest floor inside Olympus’s territory—its greatest base, where the Great Spirit resided—an unidentified light exploded from the skyscraper between the cliffs.

Kwah-gwa-gwahng!

An explosion beyond anyone’s imagination swept through the floor.

“Kyahhhk!”

“What the hell!”

Koo-goo-goong!

Millions of gods lived on the first floor.

The gods who had been chasing after the snake god screamed because of the sudden pressure.

“This is nuts!”

The snake god had dragged their servants to the underworld. The only ones left here were the gods, who had their lifespan reduced. They were already shell-shocked from the reduction of their lifespan, and now, the castle of their greatest god had been hit with a terrorist attack!

However, that wasn’t the only shocking thing.

“The palace is…!”

This palace had remained intact without a single crack even when various factions had attacked it in the past. The greatest artisans of the Divine world had come together to create this Divine piece.

Moreover, the master artisans had borrowed the knowledge and blueprint of the Creators to make this palace.

“The palace fell?!”

“What about the pillar gods? Didn’t they all enter that place?”

“Did they survive?”

The bomb Lee Gun threw at the palace created mayhem inside the palace.

“Koo-hoohk…!”

Having been swept up by the explosion, all the pillar gods were bloodied. They were groaning.

At a glance, it was clear that they were all in bad shape, except for one.

‘Damn it! I almost died…!’

It was none other than Sagittarius.

When Lee Gun had tossed the bomb, Sagittarius had quickly used his defensive skill and moved to a safe location. However, the attack was too powerful.

‘I used my defensive skill, yet I took this much damage.’

Sagittarius furrowed his brows as blood ran down his shoulder.

‘It was a bomb originally used against a monarch.’

During the invasion of the unknown civilization, Lee Gun had delivered this bomb using Yang Wei, who had possessed the body of the armored man.

While that bomb was designed perfectly, it had been made using normal ingredients. That was why that bomb had been unable to kill Lee Gun’s opponent at the time. However, this bomb was different.

‘It’s an item made by grinding up monarchs!’

As expected…

“Kuh-huhk…!”

“What the hell…!!!”

The pillar gods, who had taken a direct blow from Lee Gun, vomited blood. Normally, their lives weren’t under threat, no matter what kind of attacks hit them, but things were different right now.

“Koo-oohk…!”

They had suddenly suffered an attack, unable to use their defensive abilities. This was why their skin was ripped apart and turned into a bloody mess.

They glared at Lee Gun.

“That damn snake bastard…!!”

Sagittarius, who was hiding by himself as he watched this sight, poked his head out from behind a pillar.

“Hey! Po! Are you ok? Are you guys alive?”

Poseidon and the other pillar gods got angry when they heard a familiar voice.

“You crazy…!! Do I look fine to you?! Louis! Why are you the only one unharmed?”

“I’m a genius, unlike you guys?”

The pillar gods became angry. That bastard!

They soon vomited blood, as if they were about to die. It seemed this wasn’t a normal bomb.

“Damn it! It seems to have a poison effect. I can’t move!”

Sagittarius clicked his tongue. “That’s why you should’ve developed your appearance and intelligence instead of muscles.”

“Damn it! Really!”

“Hey! If you plan on speaking such nonsense, you can bring us some healing potions!”

“I don’t want to. It’ll infect me if I get too close to you guys. I’ll get poisoned.”

“Hey!! Be honest with me. You dodged because you knew what was coming. Do you have some kind of relationship with the snake god?”

“No way! I also suffered damage, trying to shield my comrades.”

He looked down at the goddess who was under him. She was one of the gods that the Master of the sea had summoned before the bomb had gone off.

She was the Virgo. He had thrown himself on top of her to protect her. She was part of the twelve Zodiacs, and their Divine statuses were that of siblings.

“See? I suffered a lot of damage too. I had to use forty Permission Tickets—”

Sagittarius’s face stiffened when he looked down. The summoned Virgo seemed to be a stuffed doll. Moreover, the face had a middle finger imprinted on it.

Sagittarius despaired. He had used Permission Tickets to save a doll!

On the other hand, Poseidon ground his teeth. While Virgo’s abilities were strong, Poseidon could never tell what she was thinking. If she were here, Virgo and Sagittarius would have tested his patience. She was better off not being here.

But Hermes was a problem.

‘Without him, we’ll be in a terrible spot.’

Checking if Hermes was dead or alive was their priority. The messenger god was the Divine world’s best informant. Hermes possessed information that could influence the war between factions and the Great Temple War.

‘Then there is the information about the extinct Creator tribe.’

They were trying to revive the Creators, who were called Gods of Blessings. A single Creator could support tens of billions of gods. The Creators were outstanding.

Anyway, the gods had received information that one of them was alive somewhere. They had planned on getting in the good graces of the god of blessing and making him a member of Olympus.

If that didn’t work, they planned on stealing his Divine status so that Olympus could inherit that power. If they could make him an ally, it would certainly be to their benefit.

Hermes possessed information about the whereabouts of this important being. There was no way he would go to the monarch through his own will.

‘That snake bastard…!’

Clearly, the snake god had done something, as he had mentioned a recipient. It didn’t matter in the end. Poseidon had already sent pillar gods in that direction.

“Anyway, the palace has guards. The snake god’s allies have probably been caught already.”

However, his subordinate suddenly expressed his dismay. “That is… The guards within the palace were all defeated!”

“What? How?”

“They lost to a human girl…”

What? Human??

“How did they lose to a human?!”

“The spear she’s wielding caused problems…”

“Spear?”

* * *

The heart of the Great Spirit’s palace…

A black rotating space appeared on the ceiling. Lee Gun popped out of the rotating space and landed like a squirrel.

Tuhk!

He smirked as he looked at his surroundings. “I should’ve expected this.”

He thought the inside of the palace would be crawling with guards, but the guards had been ruthlessly slaughtered a while back.

Lee Gun knew who did it because he saw a familiar-shaped wound caused by a spear. Pleased, he asked his Constructs, “Where are those two? Did they find the other pieces of Taeksoo?”

[Yes. They did find him, but someone is in their way.]

Lee Gun laughed when he heard Eeny’s (Jarl) words. “Alright. We just have to get out of this place. You should make preparations for an escape.”

[Yes. Does that mean Master will go with them…]

“Nope! I have something I’m looking for.”

[You are looking for something?]

“Yes. Taek—”

At that moment…

“!!!”

Lee Gun furrowed his brows as he extended his hand.

Chaeng!!

He deflected a blade flying toward him. It wasn’t a normal sword, as Lee Gun’s hand started bleeding.

Poo-hahk!

‘!’

It was a blade that could pass through his ability. He was surrounded by the power of Eliminate (Death), yet the blade had pierced through the protection and his skin.

Then, a beautiful woman in her late twenties walked toward him with a long blade in hand. The woman had black hair, and she wore a white shirt. She was also equipped with a sword.

[Divine Status: Athena (Master of Resourcefulness)]

[Divine Name: Patron of Darkness]

“You’re the one who deceived the pillar gods.”

The pillar gods had chased after him and exited before the bomb went off.

Lee Gun tried to move toward the goddess, but he found that he couldn’t move.

‘!’

The cause was the suspicious words that appeared behind him.

<Keep one’s beauty>

“…!”

That wasn’t all. Another phrase appeared next.

<Create the most beautiful appearance in the world>

When those words emitted light, blood started gushing out from various locations around his body.

Poo-hahk!

“Koohk!”

Soon, he realized who the culprit was.

“My god! The sight of you shedding blood is quite beautiful.”

“!’

The one who had made words appear around Lee Gun was a golden-haired goddess. She looked to be a female warrior accustomed to fighting.

[Divine Status: Aphrodite (Master of Praise)]

[Divine name: Praise the Absolute Beauty]

[Master of Praise has used “Praise of Beauty (5 star)”]

[Praise of Beauty (5 star)]

-The goddess of beauty sends a signal, and her opponent will change into a form that she considers beautiful and ideal.

[Warning! Divine Power: 7% (Cannot use ability)]

[If it falls below 5%, it will cease to function. You will faint.]

[If it reaches 0%, you will die.]

Because of the goddess who carried herself like a queen, Lee Gun couldn’t use his abilities and Divine power.

A voice rang out at that moment.

“Gods are the most beautiful when they are helpless. When I see the most arrogant gods lose their pride, their faces become very beautiful to me”

Lee Gun clenched his fists when confronted by the psycho. The goddess smiled as if to say his efforts were in vain.

Then a long vine-like object encircled him.

“From what I’ve heard, your Divine power keeps refilling if Pushover stays by your side. Is that true?”

“!”

It seemed Eco, who had been in the underworld, had spread the rumor that Hugo was a battery.

“However, we have Pushover in custody. You won’t be able to use your ability.”

Lee Gun smirked at those words. Ability? He just had to destroy this binding skill using brute strength.

He was about to put strength into his arms when Aphrodite ordered her subordinates, “You guys should go alert the auction house.”

“What? Auction house? Why would we…”

“Why else? Can’t you see this guy? At a glance, you can tell he is high quality. Of course, we’ll sell him. I’m sure we’ll be able to sell for a high price to the goddesses.”

Her subordinates flinched.

“You can’t do that! The Great Spirit of Olympus ordered us to bring the snake god to him!”

“Ah! That’s right. He did say that.”

Lee Gun stopped moving when he heard that. His eyebrows rose.

‘Great Spirit?’

His eyes rolled around as if he was conflicted. The important parts of Taeksoo had been taken by the Great Spirit. What if he let them capture him? Wouldn’t he be able to go to the Great Spirit?

Lee Gun smirked at that crazy idea. He was about to purposefully go limp so that he could be dragged away. But…

“Look at his child! He’s like a natural monument that is hard to find in this universe! He’s a virgin!! Do you realize how much money he could be sold for?!”

“?!”

Lee Gun looked at Aphrodite, taken aback.

Aphrodite suddenly expressed her anger at her subordinate. “Do you know this? He’s a virgin who has never held the hand of a woman! Virgin! A product of his quality is very rare! He’s fresh meat! Do you realize how much money the starving goddesses will give me!!!”

A vein popped out on Lee Gun’s forehead.

With a serious expression, the goddess looked Lee Gun up and down. “Huhk! Maybe he’s a virgin because he can’t get it up…”

Crunch!!

“Who cares! It doesn’t matter once I sell him. Oh yeah. Are the stats of this snake god so high because he is a virgin? I might have to research it.”

Crunch!!!!!!

Lee Gun became angry, but the goddess didn’t care as she grabbed him by the face. “Stop resisting and submit to me—”

“You little maggot!!!” Lee Gun immediately headbutted Aphrodite.

Bbah-gahk!!!

Lee Gun’s hard head smashed into the face of the absolute beauty.

“Kuh-huhk…!!”

When Aphrodite started bleeding from the nose, Athena’s eyes turned round. Of course, she knew what such strength meant. Her underlings were shocked.

“S-she’s the famed goddess of Olympus, known for her beauty!!”

“Oh my! I knew your body looked good. It seems you’re a fighting-type god.”

Athena looked interested as she unsheathed her sword.

On the other hand, Lee Gun continued to stomp on Aphrodite. “Bitch! What is it to you that I’m a virgin?”

“Kuhk! No! kuh-huhk!! Kuhk!”

“I feel sick that I was trapped in the tower because of the gods, yet you dare say that! You want to die!”

Lee Gun ripped apart the vine surrounding his body with strength.

Kwah-jeek!!

The gods shook in fear at his surprising strength.

Lee Gun seemed furious. He continued to beat Aphrodite. “Damn it. I planned on acting weak and getting captured! You ruined my plan! That’s why I’m going to hit you more!”

The gods trembled as Lee Gun used a string of harsh curse words. They had never heard such language before. They were unimaginably low-class words that threatened to damage the minds of the gods.

“He’s small like an acorn, yet he’s a fighting-type god!”

“He is beating her up without using any of his abilities?!”

Abilities, my ass!

“Fuck off! Who cares about dog shit abilities!! I just need my fists!!”

In the first place, his abilities were merely buffs! They were the cherry on top!

Aphrodite stood up in the face of Lee Gun’s attacks. “I went easy on you because you are a product—”

Poo-hahk!

“Kyahhhk!!”

Someone had stabbed her. It was none other than Athena.

Aphrodite was shocked when she was stabbed in her thigh. She glared at Athena. “What are you doing? Can you not differentiate between an ally and foe?”

Athena also glared at her as she flicked off the blood. It was as if she found the blood dirty.

“I can. Fuck off! I’ll make him my Construct. He’s my type.”

“What?!”

“I told you to fuck off.”

“Hey!”

When Athena stomped on the ground, the floor disappeared as a light swept it up. Aphrodite fell into the earth.

“Kyahhhk!”

When the person getting in her way was gone, Athena walked toward Lee Gun. “I really find your temper adorable. Become my Construct.”

The subordinates were shocked by these words.

“Goddess! We have to take the snake god to the Great Spirit!”

“Just say he died. I’ll do a better job growing him. In terms of the number of Constructs, I’m in the top ten within the Divine world.”

“You shouldn’t!”

“Be my Con—”

At that moment…

“Construct, my ass!”

“!!”

Someone shoved a monarch weapon into Athena’s back.

Poo-oohk!!

“How dare you aim for him?”

“Kuh-huhk!!!”

Athena vomited blood.

Lee Gun’s eyes turned round when an unexpected woman appeared in front of him. She wasn’t supposed to be here.

“Yeonwoo?”

The woman wearing a mask flinched at the mention of that name.

“Yeonwoo? Who is that?”

“What?”

The newcomer shouted as she continued to sweat, “I-I’m Saint Mask!! I’m not Yeonwoo!!”

“???”

Really?
