The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero-Chapter 343

What did she just say?

It was rare to see Lee Gun this shocked. His annoyance was nowhere to be seen as he quickly moved his head closer to Iaso. “Hey, are you sure? Are you sure you aren’t lying?”

The anxious Iaso nodded. “Yes. Everything I said was true.”

“…!”

“It wasn’t just one flaw. It found two…”

At that moment…

“Why are you acting like that? What’s wrong?”

Lee Gun flinched when Yooha got close.

“Uncle?”

“That is… I’m sorry. You will never get to see your fourth sibling.”

“?!!”

Yooha immediately realized what those words meant; she turned pale.

At this point, Hugo had also become very nervous. “Hey! What is it?”

When the person in question asked this, Lee Gun flinched for some reason.

“Gun??”

Instead of answering his friend, Lee Gun rolled his eyes as he discreetly whispered into Iaso’s ear.

Iaso’s eyes turned round when she heard her owner’s question. “What?! Are you asking if you tormented Sagittarius so much that it influenced Hugo-nim?!”

Taken aback, she quickly whispered back, “Do not worry. There is no way that could have happened. Master isn’t at fault.”

Lee Gun finally stopped sweating. He confidently approached Hugo and whispered in Hugo’s ears.

Hugo wondered why Lee Gun was acting this way, but his face turned paler when he heard what Lee Gun had to say. “What?! What the hell did you just say!!?”

At Hugo’s shell-shocked expression, Lee Gun sympathetically patted his friend’s shoulder. “It’s fine. Don’t worry! I’ll fix it somehow.”

Hugo despaired, but then, he unexpectedly looked like he didn’t care about it. “No… It is fine.”

“What? It’s fine?!” Lee Gun said as he looked at the resigned Hugo.

“It’s too bad, but I’m getting old. There is no use for it now.”

Hugo had been rejuvenated thanks to the Serpent Bearer, so he shouldn’t be saying something like this.

However, Hugo laughed as if he had lost his mind. “It’s fine. I’ll just have a platonic relationship. I’m not too greedy—”

“You should be greedy!!!” Lee Gun raged. He had created a plan to reach a faith of 1,000% using Hugo’s children. That wasn’t all.

“I won’t let Miss Jiwoo and the baby see you like this!”

“Jiwoo?”

“That’s right! The relationship is so good with her that there is a third baby…”

“You’re married, Gun?”

“????”

Lee Gun’s expression was a sight to behold.

On the other hand, Hugo furrowed his brow as he looked at Lee Gun. “It kept bothering me from before. Did you marry while I was captured and had a third kid?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Baffled, Lee Gun pointed at Yooha. “Do you not know who she is?”

“Is she your girlfriend?”

Yooha was shocked.

In the end, Lee Gun took out his phone and showed some photos to Hugo. “Do you not know who these people are?”

“Oh! That’s a beautiful woman and a fine young man! Are they your disciples?”

“You want to die? That’s your wife and son!!”

“What?! I’m married?!!”

Instead of answering, Lee Gun landed a flying kick on Hugo.

Bbah-gahk!!!

“Dad!!”

“Don’t worry, Yooha. I’ll take responsibility for your dad.”

“…!!”

Lee Gun looked at Iaso with anger on his face. “Hey, Disinfectant. Is this one of the two flaws?”

“No. That is—”

“Ahh. Whatever! Let’s give you a beating first.”

“What?!”

Lee Gun cracked his knuckles. He looked at Hugo with a menacing expression. “You got dragged away by a god, and now you’re treating me like this!”

“Gun??”

“Moreover, you even had your face ripped off. You got kidnapped again by someone else, and you were sold, despite being my Construct!!”

“No!!”

“I finally got you back, yet you lost your memories? I’m sure it’ll come back if I beat you up!!!”

“Ahhhhk!!!” Hugo screamed as a fist flew toward him.

* * *

Some time passed after Hugo received mental therapy.

[You have eliminated a high-rank god within the top 100.]

[The level of your Divine power has gone up.]

[You have entered the rankings of the Divine world.]

[You have accomplished a great achievement worthy of being recorded. You have acquired a Divine Achievement.]

[Divine Achievement (God’s Achievement): 2]

– Content: Chasing out the master of a floor (4 star)

– Content: Killing Hades (5 star)

[Divine Achievement can be used to increase the ability of the body or as a skill. You can also sell it.]

[The details can be checked through the Central Reserve.]

Lee Gun heard a familiar voice. It seemed the elimination of Hades had been a huge achievement.

‘Achievement? Is it similar to the Bible?’

He was confident that he had heard about this from Sagittarius and Virgo.

‘Gods grow stronger through Achievements.’

Gods were rulers of all dimensions and the worlds that existed within them, like the earth. These worlds were used and run like colonies. Of course, the 12 Zodiacs had used the Temple System to evolve. They received EXP from disciples. It was different for the other gods.

‘They become stronger depending on their Constructs and Achievements.’

However, that wasn’t important right now.

Lee Gun looked at his friend, who was suffering on the floor. “You still can’t remember me?”

“No….”

When Lee Gun raised his fist, Hugo screamed. “I think I remember! No, I do remember! At the very least, I remember Jiwoo and Yooha!!! I remember the wedding and the moment when Yooha was born!”

Iaso was dumbfounded when she heard Hugo’s desperate shouts. “My god! He was able to make the memories return by doing that…”

It wasn’t as if Hugo were an old-fashioned TV!

Lee Gun dusted his hands off as if he was satisfied. It wasn’t a complete recovery, but this process just had to be repeated for 72 hours. That would solve this problem.

“What is his defect? Is it his memory loss and his erectile dysfunction? I guess I solved the memory loss. The only thing left is to fix…”

Flustered, Iaso shook her head from side to side. “N-No. That isn’t the important part.”

“What? That isn’t important?”

“The important part is… Umm. One of the two defects within him isn’t his memory loss, it’s his lifespan…”

“Lifespan?”

Iaso nodded at Lee Gun’s expression. “Yes. Pushover-nim has only one week left to live.”

“…!!” 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

Yooha and Hugo were shocked.

“Of course, Master is the exalted god of Life and Death. It shouldn’t be too big of a problem…”

Soon, a menacing voice emanated from Lee Gun’s mouth. “Which bastard did this?”

The gods in his surroundings flinched. They trembled when they heard Lee Gun’s cold voice.

“We know who the culprit is?”

“!”

Lee Gun smirked when he heard Anubis. “You know? Is that so? Then speak.”

Anubis and Osiris stood up as if they had been waiting for this moment.

“Hmmph. Impudent low-rank god! If you want to know, you should release us from being your Construct!”

“That’s right. A price equivalent to the information needs to be paid. If not, we won’t tell you— The goddesses of fate were the ones to do it. I’m sure of it.”

“?!!”

Both Osiris and Anubis froze in shock when Anubis gave away the information.

“Osiris-nim!!”

“Why the hell did you…!”

Lee Gun grinned. “Now that I think about it, Constructs can’t cheat their master in a transaction. They can’t also lie either. Right?”

The Constructs had to tell the full truth when ordered by their master.

When the gods of Ennead realized what had happened, they screamed as they clutched their heads. If they weren’t careful, they’d reveal all the information about Ennead to Lee Gun!

Lee Gun smirked. He stepped on them as he asked, “What about the goddesses of fate?”

“Do you think I’ll tell you— Kuh-huhk!!”

Lee Gun put strength into his foot and said, “Lower your eyes.”

“No….”

They tried to keep their mouths shut, but their mouths opened by themselves.

“I’m sure Olympus is behind it! Amongst the eight great forces, they are the most like traders in their disposition!”

“Speak in honorifics. What does being a trader have anything to do with this?”

“I’m saying that guy got partitioned! There is no way they would sell someone as precious as Pushover. By the looks of it, they planned on selling what they considered bad parts to others at an outrageous price!”

“Bad parts?”

“They are any parts of Pushover’s personality that get in the way of his loyalty! If he had memories of you, the 600% Faith would be directed toward you. If he has memories of his family, he’d always try to run away!”

“That’s why the parts of his soul that were useless to them were chopped away and sold to the other factions!”

“Of course, getting rid of Faith is impossible no matter how much you partition someone. Moreover, that personality was partitioned with a short lifespan. He was supposed to disappear on his own after being sold.”

Lee Gun finally understood the defect that had developed within Hugo. It meant this was the real Hugo. However, it was a hollowed-out version of him.

In other words, his personality, containing the memories and emotions that would interfere with their plans, had been taken out.

In other words, the human parts of Hugo were cut out and sold as products. Moreover, his lifespan was purposely made short so that the human parts would disappear on their own. That meant only the divine part of Hugo’s body had been left behind.

‘Nothing that can be identified as Taeksoo was left behind in the Divine body.’

If he had to guess, Hugo was a doll with only his Faith and abilities left behind.

Anubis looked at Lee Gun at that moment. “Well… In the case of Pushover’s impotence… Oh, Snake god. Aren’t you the god of life?”

“Yes. What about it?”

“That is… Thanks to your ability, he seems to have received some benefits…”

“What about it?”

“Isn’t it obvious? When he was being partitioned, what is considered one of his defects was stolen by the Great Spirit of Olympus.”

“What?!”

Hugo opened and closed his mouth.

On the other hand, Osiris and Anubis spoke as if it all made sense.

“Their faction is desperate to expand the number of children they have.”

“Once, an outstanding healing god was affiliated with Olympus. His name was Asclepius. When the outstanding god of medicine disappeared, the gods of Olympus could no longer have children… Anyway, one of the defects was stolen by the Great Spirit.”

“What the hell?!”

The Great Spirits were the kings of the current gods. However, no supreme ruler existed right now. This was why kings existed in the Divine world, and they were the leaders of the eight great forces.

Anubis continued, “By the looks of it, Pushover’s Divine body is in Olympus.”

“Well… This one probably has a connection to his Divine body, but….”

They glanced at Hugo.

“It seems this Pushover was made by gathering the most useless parts of him.”

“That’s correct. His lifespan being one week means he is trash…”

“What?! Trash?!”

On the other hand, Lee Gun laughed as if he was dumbfounded. What? The most useless parts were used?

“Nonsense.”

This was the part of Hugo that Lee Gun treasured the most. Moreover, they had made a mistake in putting a stipulation that made Hugo’s lifespan into one week.

‘These bastards are underestimating my power.’

It would be to Lee Gun’s benefit if Olympus grew Hugo’s Divine power.

‘Anyway, we can’t go back like this.’

At that moment…

[You’re the one who killed Hades?]

“!!”

A bird sitting by the window suddenly let out a light as it moved its beak.

[We saw Hades disappear from the registry of gods. Did he die here?]

Lee Gun furrowed his brow when he heard the unfamiliar voice. “What the hell is that?”

Anubis started to sweat. “Ah… That is a communication line opened to make a deal with Hades… It seems it was disconnected until now…”

“What? That bastard is from Olympus?”

The being on the other end was taken aback.

[I am from Olympus. Who are you, you impudent bastard?]

“I am the master of these guys.”

[Ah! I see! You’re the Great Spirit of Ennead! I apologize! I was rude!]

Osiris and Anubis screamed. No! That wasn’t it!

Lee Gun hadn’t said anything false, but his words were misleading! However, their despair was ignored.

The one from Olympus spoke up.

[Hades went there to consummate the trade, and it seems that the snake god killed him. Do you know if that’s true?]

“That—”

Before Osiris could say anything, Lee Gun brought his foot down on him.

“That is true.”

[Ah! I’m so sorry! It seems you weren’t able to do the trade because he died. Since Hades is dead, we can’t ask for damages either. It is already a mess here thanks to the entertainer.]

“What business do you have with me?”

[To consummate the trade of Pushover, we will send one of our people once again. Please understand we are taking a loss too. We have to find the snake god, who killed Hades. We have to file for damages, yet we don’t know what he looks like. Since you were there, do you know what the low-rank god looked like? Please cooperate with us so that we can catch him.]

Osiris and Anubis continued to sweat.

“That is… That bast… I meant to say that person… He is very dashing…”

“He… He is beyond handsome… You guys have nothing on him…!”

[What? What did you just say?]

Osiris and Anubis couldn’t badmouth their owner, so they could merely slam their hands against the ground.

On the other hand, Lee Gun listened with a smirk on his lips.

‘These kidnappers are like maggots.’

“The eyewitness information of the snake god will be sent to you in short order.”

[Ah! I would appreciate it if you did that—]

Kwahng!!!

Lee Gun used his power of Death to destroy the glass bird, which acted as a medium for communication.

Hugo shook as he watched Lee Gun laugh. “G-Gun?”

At the same time, something vibrated within Lee Gun’s pocket. It was a phone-like device Sagittarius gave to him for communication purposes. When he picked up the call, he heard a familiar voice.

[N-Nephew… Did you rescue Hugo? I somehow stopped the Great Spirit of Ennead… I might not look it, but I’m one of the pillar gods of Olympus. I did well, right…?]

“You did well. So, where are you right now?”

[I returned to Olympus. Why…?]

“I’ll send you another bomb. I want you to carry it to the Great Spirit of Olympus.”

[What? What are you…!!!]

Click!

When Lee Gun ruthlessly ended the call, Anubis and Osiris looked at Lee Gun in shock.

“Are you trying to antagonize Olympus?”

“They are gathering forces to aim for a place called the earth right now…!”

Lee Gun smirked as if their words had left him dumbfounded. “Idiots! Do you realize the occupation of the god whom I got rid of?” 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

“!”

Soon, their shocked selves saw Lee Gun bring out Hades’s item.

“That is…!”

It was Hades’ Divine Item.

[Registry of Hades]

It was a registry containing the names of all the souls and gods within the Divine world. This item could determine the life and death of the gods.

Lee Gun laughed as he saw Eco, who was trying to slowly sneak away. “You.”

“Y-Yes?!!”

“Do you know who contacted me earlier?”

“No. I mean…!”

“Tell me their names.”

“What?!”

“I’ll shrink their remaining lifespan into one week.” Lee Gun let out a menacing laugh.
