Chapter 383 - You guys can suffer too (3)
“If they don’t want to serve me, I’ll make them want to serve me.”
The power of the snake god violently surged forward. The enormous power made the nearby residents scream.
Although putting it like this was a bit of an exaggeration, Lee Gun’s power looked strong enough to cover the entire. Moreover, he didn’t have this much power when he had gone up against the monarchs!
This shocked Hugo.
‘Does he really n on taking this ce?’
He was doing it despite this ce being the home ground of the enemies?
The power of a Zodiac depended on the number of Constructs it had. A chasm existed between the number of Constructs belonging to Lee Gun and the same for Eden.
‘Normally, there is a difference of one level per a hundred Constructs amongst the Zodiacs.’
The difference in stats grew if one possessed Zodiac-rank Constructs, and all the Constructs of Eden used to be Zodiacs. One didn’t need to see Eden’s level to know that it was extremely high.
‘What if we get surrounded…’
However, Lee Gun didn’t n on being cautious.
Hugo turned his head. “Miss Yeonwoo! Please stop him!”
Yeonwoo was Lee Gun’s family. She was an older sister-like figure and the only one who could hold him back.
“If it’s Miss Yeonwoo, even he will listen…”
However, Hugo almost screamed when he turned his gaze.
“Angel wings are quite warm. It is best to rip them off and use them as nkets.” Yeonwoo had a bright smile on her face as she took outrge scissors.
Hugo screamed. “Ahhk! Please don’t act like Lee Gun! Why do you have to take after him of all people?”
“Hey, say it correctly. What do you mean, she’s acting like me? If I’m being honest, she’s the originator.”
“#$&*&!”
What kind of family was this?
Hugo grabbed the back of his neck. He quickly looked for another person who could save him. “Hailey! You should stop….”
“You just need to take the heads off the fowls.” Hailey unsheathed her sword as she flew through the air.
Hugo despaired. In the end, he didn’t want Lee Gun’sdies to be hurt, so he took out his bow. He looked at Lee Gun with worry in his eyes. “What are you going to do about your Divine power?!”
Lee Gun handed something over to Hugo.
[Hey, Taeksoo. You are better than me.]
[Hey, Taeksoo. You are the best.]
[Hey, Taeksoo. You know I trust you, right?]
[Hey, Taeksoo. While we aren’t rted by blood, you are my only brother.]
[Hey, Taeksoo. Do you know that I love you enough to be your guarantor?]
“….”
It was a recorder!
“It goes on for a hundred hours. If you stop it in the middle, you’re dead.”
“Hey. Why would this shitty thing work…!!”
[The Divine power of the Serpent Bearer rose by 50%.]
[The Divine power of the Serpent Bearer rose by 100%.]
Hugo despaired.
At this point, the angels had also realized what was going on. They were bbergasted.
“That’s the snake god!”
In Eden, snakes were rted to death. Snakes symbolized temptation and stood for Satan. And the legless being had crawled secretly into Eden.
The angels contemptuouslyughed when they saw Lee Gun be hostile.
“You’re a candidate for banishment just for being a snake. It seems your intentions are impure in invading a colony as a Zodiac.”
“You’re a very young Zodiac who never experienced a fight for influence. Yet you came to steal our territory?”
“I don’t know where you got the guts toe here by yourself, but it doesn’t matter…”
At that moment…
“Protect Lee Gun-nim!”
“Send our contributions to Lee Gun-nim!”
“Lee Gun-nim! Hurry up and take this!”
“?!”
The angels couldn’t believe their ears as they watched the residents’ behaviors. The residents of the Eden colony didn’t pay any attention to the angels.
The beast folk pointed toward a building at the center of the city, an enormous tower! The building was where they collected tributes. The tributes stored inside were supposed to be transported to the Divine world.
“Lee Gun-nim! If youe this way, you won’t encounter the security barrier!”
“You have toe this way if you want to take everything!”
“?!”
The angels couldn''t believe what they were witnessing. They merely looked at the residents.
The guards were opening the storerooms with their keys. The residents were offering shortcuts to the snake god and telling him about the important facilities within the city.
“Lee Gun-nim!!”
“Please take our contributions!”
“Please take our EXP!”
“Have they lost their ever-loving mind…!!”
Did they not realize what those tributes represented?! The angels were about to block them.
[Gluttony (Creator 3 star)]
However, a strong power surged forth as an enormous snake made out of light fell from the sky. It almost looked like a dragon. The light ruthlessly swallowed up the building.
Kwah-jee-jeek!!
[All the offerings of the Eden colony have been absorbed.]
[You can convert it all to Talents.]
[The estimated value is 28 billion 3.98 million and 391 Talents.]
Lee Gunughed. The earnings generated by the colony were quite good. He would be able to purchase Permission Tickets (Exoneration) as well as a bunch of other items.
Of course, he was curious about one thing.
“Give our contribution to Lee Gun-nim!”
‘Contribution.’
This was a concept used only on the earth.
The twelve Zodiacs possessed the thrones and received EXP from the disciples to increase their own levels. That was how the system works.
‘Well, I believe the ones to make that system were the Creators.’
Anyway, why were other factions using the twelve-Zodiac system, which only the Creators had used?
As if it was answering his question, he heard a notification.
[The Bible system was created by the Creators, and the Divine world set up the Divine Achievement (Achievement) system. Creators created the disciple system, and the gods are using the colony system.]
Lee Gun immediately epted the answer. Creators were the Divine world’s greatest technicians. This meant that the system they created had been misappropriated by the gods. The gods were misusing it.
Well, it didn’t matter.
“We lost several years’ worth of tributes because of those crazy bastards!”
“Get rid of the guards and the heretics!”
When the angels red at them, the residents flinched and shook in fear.
Chun Sungjae raised his guard and intended to give orders. He used a new skill, which he had developed when he was given the Divine name of Demonic Sect Leader.
“Kuh-huhk!!!”
Chains surged up from the ground to encircle the angles. It was Lee Gun’s “Serpent Eater” skill!
In the beginning, Lee Gun hade here to find his nephew, and he nned on leaving then. However, he had unexpectedly gotten a taste of significant profits.
Lee Gunughed as he held them in ce. “Now that I think about it, this ce is called Eden Colony 1, right?”
“What?”
“Then there are Colonies 2 and 3?”
The angels got an ominous feeling.
* * *
The Divine world’s Garden of Eden…
“What did you just say right now?”
The angels who served the sleeping Great Spirit of Eden were surprised by an unexpected situation.
“Offerings aren’ting from the colonies!”
The high-rank angels let out sighs at the report. They were putting a lot of effort into the earth, so they didn’t want to be bothered by trivial matters.
“Don’t panic. It must be a mistake.”
“It isn’t! A problem must have urred at the colonies…”
This made the high-rank angels smile. It meant this was amon urrence.
“It must be the moocher gods, who came to take our resources.”
“Don’t worry! There are over 1,845 Eden colonies. Problems at one or two colonies will resolve themselves quickly…”
“That is… We lost offeringsing from all 1,845 colonies!”
“What?”
The high-rank angels finally realized something serious was going on.
“All the resourcesing from the colonies were cut off?”
“What about the managers? Have you been contacted by the colonies’ managers?”
“They keep saying that they are sending us tributes like normal, but they just keep repeating odd phrases…!”
“Did you go there yourself?”
“We kept sending troops, but we lost contact with all of them…!”
“…!”
What was going on over there? The high-rank angels were frozen, and their subordinates shouted.
“At this rate, won’t we be in trouble? If we receive no supply, it’ll be detrimental to our n of waking up the Great Spirit…”
“No, that’s not the real problem. At this rate, the Great Spirit might lose his life in an hour…”
“That’s sacrilegious! Shut your mouth!”
“!!”
They were the angels serving the Great Spirit of Eden, and their Great Spirit was the only one asleep. Moreover, they were providing nutrients that extended their Great Spirit’s lifespan.
‘How dare someone touch the Great Spirit’s food…’
In the end, the flustered high-rank angels quickly shouted orders.
“We will get rid of the culprit ourselves. You guys notify themander on what’s going on.”
“Do not worry. It probably is nothing. We’ll visit the colonies ourselves and…”
Beeeeeee-
“!!”
Their faces turned pale when they heard the sound ringing throughout Eden…
“That rm sound is….!”
It was an rm that rang when Eden was in danger, but it wasn’t a normal one. It was an rm sound that should never ring, and this rm hadn’t rung since the monarchs had invaded the Divine world a long time ago!
* * *
“Ohhhhh!!!”
The colonies of Eden were ruthlessly destroyed by Lee Gun. He had already destroyed 1,845 locations.
Although the main force of Eden was focused on the earth right now, the internal defense of these ces was still strong. However, it didn''t matter at all.
[The skill of the Demonic Sect Leader is active.]
[It can forcefully raise the faith toward the Serpent Bearer to over 100%.]
In the past two years that Chun Sungjae had been stuck here, he had developed a missionary-rted skill.
The young man was able to use his skill to create a free pass that allowed others to enter the temple. Of course, this skill could be maintained for a limited time and came with side effects. However, it didn’t matter.
“Kuh-huhk!! He’s the enemy! What are you guys doing?”
“Lee Gun-nim!! Hahk-hahk!”
“Lee Gun-niiiim!!”
“They’ve really lost their minds!!”
The skill was strong enough to create a schism within Eden, and it turned the colonies into a mess. Moreover, Lee Gun swept in and took away all the offerings that had been stacked within the colonies.
[Gluttony]
Kwahng!!
[You have absorbed all the tributes from 1,845 Eden colonies.]
[You have collected 100 billion 3494 Talents until now. ]
[How would you like to use them?]
“Exchange it all for Permission Tickets (Exoneration)”
This would prevent anything annoying from happening in the future.
Moreover, if Chun Sungjae’s “Forced Corruption” skill didn’t work, Lee Gun ground down angels into ingredients.
“Ahhk!”
“Kuh-huhk!”
Lee Gun gathered all the data from the angels and seized all the Eden colonies.
The angels, who had their wings ripped off, gnashed their teeth.
“The snake god has dered war on us!”
“He’s a psycho!”
While the Zodiacs tried to steal each other’s territories, they still maintained a line.
“You are breaking the rules!”
“Do you not know about the peace ords?”
“What nonsense is the ord?”
“Only Constructs may be used to conduct a war! It’s forbidden for a Zodiac to directly invade a territory!”
Lee Gun’s eyebrows rose. He had heard about it.
Zodiacs never fought directly against each other.
“It’s illegal for a Zodiac to directly take the resources andnd of a colony! You are plundering us!”
“Yet you— Kuhk!”
“Plunder? Hey, fuck off. When did I steal anything of yours?”
“How can you say this isn’t stealing…!”
“Tell me how is it. Did I steal by force or did your residents give presents to me of their own volition? They gave it as tributes. How can you say that when you saw it for yourselves??”
“… No!!”
“Also…”
“!”
Lee Gun stepped on the angels. “You guys invaded mynd and stole my disciples, right?”
“That’s…!”
“What?”
Instead of answering, the angels bit their lips. They had no choice.
‘He’s a candidate to be a Great Spirit? He’s supposed to be one of the leaders of the gods?’
‘No way!’
‘Also, Michael-nim wanted us to separate the snake god and Pushover.’
The angels shouted when they recalled their orders.
“You weren’t recognized as an official Zodiac. Yournd wasn’t registered with the Divine world!”
“The ord doesn’t apply tonds without an owner!”
“What the hell are these bastards saying?” Lee Gun’s eyes shed as he raised Heaven’s Punishment.
There was no need for him to use Cycle, which consumed a lot of power.
[Death (Stage 4)]
Kwah-gwa-gwahng!!
The angels screamed as they resisted Lee Gun’s power until the end. It would have been better for them to have been converted by Chun Sungjae at this point.
“Shit…!! Shock absorption doesn’t work!”
“He’s too strong! The damage was so high that it got past the Shock Absorption— Kuhk!”
At this rate, they would all be consumed by Lee Gun, so they gestured with their hands.
“We have no choice. Call it in.”
“We have no choice but to use it!”
In the end, they used their final option. The light emanating from the angels drew a magic circle in the air.
Apanying a massive amount of light, something revealed itself inside the summoning circle.
Lee Gun, as well as everyone, was surprised by the face that had appeared.
