Lee Gun glared at Olympus’s fighting-type god. An odd killing intent entered his eyes, but it was unclear whether he himself was aware of this or not.
On the other hand, Hercules couldn’t move his gaze away from Hailey. “Is she really a living creature?”
Feeling his gaze, Hailey tilted her head in puzzlement. She didn’t know what was wrong with this god, so she summoned her sword. She attacked the fighting-type god.
However, Hercules didn’t fight back. In fact, he moved with Hailey as if he were dancing with her. He looked to be enjoying the current situation. “Ah ha ha! You’re pretty, and your movements are beautiful too!”
Lee Gun became angry when he saw this. What the hell was that bastard doing? He had been about to turn around, yet he came to a stop.
This puzzled the Constructs within his shadow.
[Master? What’s wrong?]
[You said you weren’t going to face off against the fighting-type god, right?]
Hugo, who was watching the same sight, tilted his head in puzzlement when a voice rang out within his head.
[Hey, Oh Taeksoo.]
“!”
Hugo flinched, while he had his bow drawn. It was Construct Communication. In other words, it was like a wireless message. A Zodiac and their Constructs could communicate with each other through telepathy.
After regaining his Divine status, Lee Gun could use it on Hugo once again. While his Constructs could hear it, this skill consumed Divine power. So, it was a wonder as to why Lee Gun was using this skill.
However, it didn’t take long for Hugo to find out.
[What are you doing? Shoot him. Kill him.]
“What? You want me to shoot that hulk?”
[Yes.]
The answer surprised Hugo. “You don’t want to go after Sagittarius? You’ll be able to pay off your debt in one go.”
Hugo had an attribute called “Perfect Sight.” He had seen the wanted poster being waved by slime. So he said, “That hulk will make you no money right now. It’ll be more efficient to—”
[It’s fine. Just shoot him. He might not be worth anything right now, but I’ll make it profitable to kill him.]
Lee Gun sounded angry for some odd reason.
Hugo furrowed his brows as he looked at Hercules. Hercules didn't know what to do with himself in front of the gorgeous woman.
Could it be? Hugo’s eyes turned round. “Is it because of Hailey?”
[Nope. He’s just annoying.]
“Annoying? Ah! Is it because he’s attacking an ally?”
[His slack-jawed face is annoying me!]
Hugo’s eyes turned round when he heard that answer. It was subtle, but he was smiling with his eyes. “It’s understandable. Even a god would become slack-jawed and fall for Hailey.”
It had been the case with the Zodiac Saints too. Jean-Louis usually showed no interest in women, and Kevin wasn’t supposed to show any interest in women. Yet both of them had shown interest in Hailey. Before Hugo had met Lee Gun and Jiwoo, he also wanted to have a cup of tea with Hailey.
Of course, Hailey had coldly rejected everyone.
“Stevens had also tried to make a move on Hailey.”
[What? Who?]
Hugo flinched when he heard the menacing voice. For some reason, he felt like he was going to be killed. Was he mistaken?
“I mean… Stevens….”
[What about that cat?]
“Yeah. It was a very long time ago! It happened a very long time ago…” Hugo started to sweat. He felt as if he had made a huge mistake.
Anyway, that wasn’t important right now.
“A-Anyway, I’ll be capturing Sagittarius. You can take your time following after me.” Hugo did a double-take when he turned his head.
As soon as he saw the wanted poster, he had locked the door. He thought he had confined Sagittarius, but Sagittarius had run away.
‘Well, he’s my Zodiac Saint now, so I’ll be able to track him in no time.’
Hugo decided to track Sagittarius at a later time. For now, he pointed his bow at Hercules.
‘He’s formidable.’
Hugo could tell by the magical energy emitted by the gods. He could see it from their Divine power. It showed the number of Achievements and the internal energy that they possessed.
As a god amassed powerful Achievements and internal energy, the pressure that their Divine power gave off changed as well. Moreover, a difference in skill existed, depending on how well one used their Divine status.
That fighting-type god was very powerful.
At that moment, Hercules was surprised. His face had been red, and he had been retreating until now. He looked between Hailey and Lee Gun. “Wait a moment. Do you guys know each other? What is your relationship with each other?”
It was too early to ask such a question. Dumbfounded, Hailey held up her blade. “You aren’t worth speaking to.”
Hearing that, Hercules became serious, as if he had accepted something. “Ah! I understand now. You are a prisoner of that bastard, right?”
“????” Hugo was dumbfounded.
The fighting-type god sighed as he shook his head from side to side. “I wouldn’t like him either. He’s a stick who can’t even use his power.”
Lee Gun’s eyebrows twitched. He was about to extend his hand in anger when…
Bbah-gahk!!!
“!”
Hailey moved first as she kicked Hercules in the face.
“Kuh-huhk…!”
She had planned on keeping a low profile, but even she couldn’t control her fury. “Stop speaking nonsense! I am Lee G— I am the snake god’s colleague!”
The answer seemed to have hit home more than expected. Hercules clutched his cheek as he looked at Hailey. “He’s a colleague?”
“That’s right. If you get any closer to the snake god, I’ll kill you.”
Hercules had an expression as if he were in an awkward position as he looked at the pillar gods of Olympus. “Do I have to get rid of the snake god? If I kill him, I’ll be hated by that woman.”
The other gods, who were on standby, felt frustrated.
“Have you lost your mind?”
“Herc! If you don’t steal the snake god’s Divine status, we’ll continue to be refugees! You know this!”
“Don’t fall for her face!”
“Did you forget about the debt in your name? If you want to pay off your debt, do as you’re ordered!”
Hercules clicked his tongue as he brushed off his hands. “I have no choice but to take his Divine status.”
The next moment, he disappeared. He reappeared behind Lee Gun!
[Mind’s Eye (3 star)]
The color of Hercules’ eyes changed, and he aimed for Lee Gun’s chest. His eyes weren’t ordinary.
Gods were divided into a variety of categories, such as fortune gods, war gods, and luck gods.
Depending on the type, they received a bonus attribute. For example, a wealth-type god had a Strengthen Luck attribute. An Archery god possessed Perfect Sight.
Anyway, fighting-type gods possessed the Mind’s Eye attribute.
[Eyes that will absolutely allow you to win in battle!]
The eyes of the beast flashed, and he aimed for Lee Gun’s weak point. He had immediately located Lee Gun’s cores, which contained his Divine statuses.
‘As expected, he has two cores.’
If he took out the two cores, Zeus would be able to use Cycle.
After he had located the Divine status cores, Hercules’s hands shot forward at a frightening speed.
Feeling the murderous intent, Lee Gun quickly reacted.
Hercules extended his arms.
Fighting-type god attribute!
[Inborn Predisposition (4 star)]
- Turns the body into a weapon.
The bodies of fighting-type gods were weapons in themselves!
After strengthening his body, Hercules tried to overwhelm Lee Gun. No weapon could pierce through his body.
When Hercules got closer, Lee Gun’s Divine status of Life started to react violently.
[Your opponent possesses an Achievement that’s a natural enemy of you.]
[<Snake Slaughterer>]
[Life has raised its guard as it is gathering its power]
[It is strengthening and healing the body of the snake god.]
[Life has gained EXP.]
It seemed Hercules had acquired an Achievement by killing numerous snakes. Lee Gun possessed the Divine status of a serpent. This meant they were like oil and water.
The beast-like Hercules’s hand stabbed toward Lee Gun’s body.
Poo-hahk!
At a glance, it looked like he was aiming for the heart. However, Hercules was actually aiming for the stomach. The move toward the heart was a feint.
As he pretended to aim for the heart, his other hand aimed for the stomach, where Lee Gun’s cores were.
Hercules looked at Lee Gun with surprise. “Hmmph! Your reflexes are excellent.”
Lee Gun had read his attack and grabbed both of his arms.
It was clear that his opponent’s power was strong, but the hands dug into Lee Gun’s body. The reason could have been the Achievement that was a natural enemy to him.
“It does hurt since I don’t have Super Regeneration.”
The surprised Hugo and Hailey tried to attack Hercules.
However, Lee Gun signaled them off as he spat out blood. Clearly, he had engineered this situation. “It seems you’re proud of your impenetrable body, but you lost once you touched me.”
Lee Gun’s eyes flashed as he clenched Hercules’s arms.
This made Hercules laugh. As a fighting-type god who had amassed Divine power and Achievements, he was second to none.
‘I have twelve five-star rank Achievements, and one of them is close to being a 6 star.’
In terms of power, fighting-type gods were leaps and bounds above the other gods. Hercules possessed one of the strongest Divine statuses as a war god, which numbered few.
“What do you plan on doing with those weak hands? It is useless—”
Ooh-doo-doohk!!!
“…!”
Hercules's eyebrows rose because of the pain. At the same time, he scrunched up his eyes.
Ooh-doo-doo-doohk!!
Lee Gun’s power had crushed Hercules’s thick bones in his arms.
The other gods were shocked when they heard Hercules’ bones break.
‘He broke Herc’s arms?’
The pillar gods, as well as the gods who had come to capture the pillar gods, were shocked.
Lee Gun laughed. “I’ll turn you into a cudgel.”
Lee Gun was letting out the Divine status of Death as he tried to rip away Hercules’s arms.
[The goddesses of fate have manipulated the snake god’s record.]
As that notification rang out, Lee Gun flinched from the pain.
‘…!’
Strength left his body, and the wounds on his body suddenly worsened.
[The goddesses of fate have changed the fate of the snake god.]
[The snake god has been changed. He has suffered grave wounds, and he cannot move.]
What the hell?
Soon, blood trickled out of Lee Gun’s mouth. As soon as the strength left his body, Hercules pinned him. Hercules seemed to be unaware of the goddesses of fate’s intervention.
He clicked his tongue as if this was inevitable. “Look here. In the end, you couldn’t win with strength. As expected, you’re a stick—”
Kwahng!!!
An arrow flew toward Hercules’s head, but the fighting-type god threw a rock. After stopping Hugo’s arrow in midair, the vigilant Hercules yelled, “If you shoot me again, I’ll break open this bastard’s head.”
Hugo furrowed his brows.
“Let go,” Hailey said in a menacing voice as she kicked Hercules.
Bbah-gahk!
That power sent Hercules away from Lee Gun, and Hailey emanated a black magical energy. It was the power she had sealed since she didn’t want her identity to be known to the Divine world.
The Scorpio Constructs, who had been hiding within her shadow, quickly shouted at her.
[P-Princess! You shouldn’t!]
[You shouldn’t release your abilities! The gods will immediately rush toward you!]
Hercules furrowed his brows at Hailey’s power.
“Herc-nim! This isn’t the time to do that! Hurry up and get rid of the snake god!”
“The goddesses of fate have helped us!”
“Hurry up and kill the snake god while he cannot use his power!”
Hercules’s eyes turned round. “What? They got involved?”
[Ah! You guys are pissing me off.]
“…!!!”
Hercules flinched and shook when he heard the voice from behind. It was a voice that wasn’t from this world. Feeling the murderous intent, the fighting-type god tried to defend himself.
Kwahng!
The frightening power of Death brought Hercules to a halt.
Hercules reflexively felt something from that power.
‘This feeling… He isn’t a human or a god.’
Hercules got an ominous feeling as he tried to get rid of Lee Gun.
Pahk!
Lee Gun disappeared in a flash, then used his ability on Hercules. It was the ability that had been released when Yooha had caught all the gods.
[Personal Poison (4 star)]
The unique poison of the Serpent Bearer struck Hercules. It was a poison that caused pain. The immortal gods would rather die than feel such pain!
Hercules couldn’t take the pain either. He screamed.
“Kuh-huhk!!”
“Herc!”
Hercules groaned as he watched Lee Gun approach him. “Koo-oohk— Finish me!”
Lee Gun contemptuously laughed. “No. You’re more helpful alive.”
“…!”
Hercules and the other gods were surprised.
“Is he sparing Hercules because Hercules is a god who protects the Divine world?!”
“It makes sense since there aren’t that many fighting-type gods…!”
“He turns Olympus into a mess, yet he seems to care about the Divine world…?”
Lee Gun smirked.
[While being guarded against the god with the opposite Achievement, Life is drawing up its power.]
[Life has gained EXP.]
[Life has amassed EXP, so it is almost ready to be able to use Cycle.]
Thanks to Hercules, Life was gaining EXP. Raising Death’s EXP was easy since Lee Gun just had to kill. On the other hand, raising Life’s EXP had been hard even on the earth.
Wouldn’t it be beneficial to leave Hercules like this until his EXP was full?
‘I’ll let it stack until I catch the other gods.’
Lee Gun had come to a stop at that moment, and it caused the eyes of the pillar gods to flash.
“This is it. We have to attack when the snake god is injured…!”
At that moment, Hercules sent the pillar gods and the other gods flying.
“Kuh-huhk…!!”
Taken aback, the pillar gods looked at Hercules.
“What are you doing?”
Hercules slammed his head against the ground as he shouted. “I will serve you as a younger brother! Please take me in as your Construct!”
“!”
The gods were shocked, and Lee Gun looked at Hercules as if the latter were speaking nonsense. “If this is a ploy to get me to release you from the poison, dream on.”
Of course, the poison would naturally dissipate after a certain amount of time.
“No! As soon as the goddesses of fate helped me, I lost. Moreover, you were able to overwhelm me with such a handicap. You also spared my life for the good of the Divine world! I will serve you as a younger brother!”
The pillar gods of Olympus were dumbfounded.
“Wait a…!”
Lee Gun thought over it for a moment.
‘A Construct of this caliber would be to my benefit.’
Would it be a boon to raising the EXP of Life?
Lee Gun said, “Alright. I guess there is no downside to doing it.”
“Thank you! I will serve you with sincerity!”
“Ah! The poison….”
Before Lee Gun could say anything else, Hercules looked at Hailey and said, “Ah. If it’s possible, I would like to ask her to be my wife…”
Lee Gun’s eyes flashed.
Lee Gun glared at Olympus’s fighting-type god. An odd killing intent entered his eyes, but it was unclear whether he himself was aware of this or not.
On the other hand, Hercules couldn’t move his gaze away from Hailey. “Is she really a living creature?”
Feeling his gaze, Hailey tilted her head in puzzlement. She didn’t know what was wrong with this god, so she summoned her sword. She attacked the fighting-type god.
