What? Who was here?

It was rare to see Lee Gun’s eyes sparkle like this. In fact, it was beyond sparkling. Those eyes flashed savagely. “Hey. Give me the details. Who’s here?”

The goddesses became overjoyed when Lee Gun approached them.

“Ah! Do you mean Hades-nim?”

They didn’t want Lee Gun to leave for somewhere else, so they tripped over themselves as they tried to tell him various news.

“It’s said that he acquired a rare Construct not too long ago! I think his name was… Pushover? A banquet is being held as a celebration. That’s why he came to the eighteenth floor!”

“This event is considered a blessing to the Divine world. This is why other famous Zodiacs are here too!”

Lee Gun contemptuously laughed. Right. That bastard stole someone else’s best friend, yet he was having a party?

Lee Gun was as angry as he could be, but it didn’t matter since this situation would be to his benefit. “So where do I have to go if I want to meet him? I have business with him.”

The goddesses were taken aback for some reason. They looked at him as if to check his mood.

“Ah….”

“What? What’s the problem?”

“It’s nothing. Telling you the location isn’t the problem. We just aren’t sure if you’ll be able to meet him…”

“That’s right. Unless you are an authority of Olympus, they won’t let you in.”

“It is very hard to meet a high-rank god in person…”

Lee Gun furrowed his brows. He was about to say something when…

“Ah! That Construct over there will have an easy time getting in.”

“!”

The goddesses unexpectedly pointed at Satyr, who was dying of happiness.

“Aren’t you a Construct of Olympus? You’ll have an easy time getting into the banquet, right?”

“Yes. You should introduce him to Hades-nim. I’m sure he will be happy.”

“!”

Lee Gun looked at Satyr to see if this unexpected piece of information was true.

Satyr got apoplectic. “Ahhk! Fuck off! I was struck out from the divine registry of Olympus. There is no way I can introduce him!”

“Oh my! You weren’t stricken from the divine registry. You might have incurred anger from the gods for being a pervert, yet they are still looking for you.”

“Ahhhk! No! I’ll die if I meet them!”

In the first place, he had learned a piece of information about Olympus that he wasn’t supposed to. That was why he had tried to smuggle himself into the Divine world.

If his entry were to be recorded, they’d try to catch him using stupendous force.

Satyr felt an ominous feeling, so he tried to run away.

“It’s fine. You’re coming with me.”

When Lee Gun’s eyes flashed, Satyr screamed. “Ahhhk! Fuck off! Why me?”

The Satyr who had called Lee Gun Hyung-nim was nowhere to be seen. He yelled in a shrill manner, “If you want to go, you can go by yourself! Since I couldn’t use my Divine status, I pretended to surrender to you. It was a strategic move. I can use my Divine status now that I’m in the Divine world. Yes. You’re probably a subtype god. Your body is sturdy because you’re a crystal that was deified!”

“!”

Satyr jabbed the empty air as if he were daring Lee Gun to attack him. “I might have gotten on the bad side of the gods, but I am Pan. Everyone knows that name. How dare a low-rank god dare—”

Suddenly…

Koo-goo-goo-goong!

“Ahhhhk!”

The magical energy of the Serpent Bearer instantly surged forth. Unlike before, Lee Gun’s eyes flashed red when his power was released. “Do you want to follow me after a beating? Or do you want a beating before you follow me?”

“Understood!! I’ll immediately follow you even if you break my legs!!”

“It’s fine. It’ll inconvenience me if your legs are broken.”

Satyr. No, Pan started to shed tears.

The eighteenth dimensional floor was considered a lower floor, but it was called the entertainment dimension for a reason. The entire continent was a flashy city of night.

“Over there. I’m pretty sure I saw Hades-nim enter there.”

The goddesses laughed in delight as they pointed at a lake. A large cruise ship was floating on top of it.

Of course, the cruise ship looked much more advanced than the ones seen on the earth.

‘I can sense him.’

Lee Gun could feel a familiar energy within the ship. Of course, the Constructs had put up a screen using their ability to obscure who went into the ship, but Lee Gun was like a bloodhound. They couldn’t fool him.

When Lee Gun started heading toward the entrance to the ship…

“Who are you?”

Some Constructs blocked his way. Their bodies resembled that of human security guards wearing suits. However, their heads were that of a long snake.

[Divine Name: 12 Trials of Hardship]

[Divine Status: Hydra (Construct)]

[Affiliation: Master of the Land of the Dead (Hades)]

[Nemea’s Nine Twin Water Snakes]

When the information came up, Lee Gun laughed, while Pan blanched.

‘Their poison can kill gods, and they don’t die even when they are decapitated. They are Hades’ Constructs…!’

Therefore, Pan tried to run away, but Lee Gun grabbed his rucksack. Lee Gun hadn’t put any force behind it, yet Pan couldn’t move even a millimeter.

At that moment, one of the nine twins gave them a death glare.

“What business does a low-rank god have coming here?”

Lee Gun let out a bright smile as he slapped the back of Pan’s head. Pan put forth his rucksack in fright.

“Ah! This guy wants to become Hades-nim’s Construct! That is why I brought him here!”

“Construct?”

“He’s a fighting-type god! His fighting ability is quite useful, so I brought him. He is quite admirable since he brought some funds too!”

“Funds?”

When Pan opened the rucksack, the water snakes were impressed.

“Oh oh! These are all Talents!”

“He must be wealthy!”

Pan started sweating, while Lee Gun let out a bloody smirk.

‘The idiots of the Divine worlds are crazy about money. That is apparent.’

He would fully use this to his advantage. Lee Gun extended his hand. “Here. This is a tip for you guys.”

Lee Gun gave each of them a Talent. Pan shook in fear as he watched this. It was to be expected since he had seen Lee Gun put a suspicious mechanism inside the Talents.

‘There is no way they’ll fall for this. They are trying to catch him by—’

“Hmmph. You’re quick on the uptake. You will go far. Your prospects look bright.”

“Since Pan-nim brought him, his skill is assured.”

“Follow us. Master will be happy.”

Pan clutched at his hair when there was no pushback in letting them in.

‘Pick up on it! How are you this oblivious? Why?’

The Hydras were oblivious to Lee Gun’s scheme as they headed into the cruise ship. As they moved deeper into the ship, the look in Lee Gun’s eyes changed.

‘He is in there.’

He could feel Hades’ energy from the hall on the other side of the door.

‘!’

Suddenly, he could hear an odd murmur coming from the hall.

When Lee Gun quickly entered the banquet hall, the security at the door stopped him.

“Hey! How dare a low rank— Kuhk!”

“Stop saying he is low rank! He’s a guest!!”

“What?!”

The water snakes who had let Lee Gun in narrowed their eyes as they whispered to the security guards.

“He has a lot of money.”

“!”

They shrewdly aimed for Lee Gun’s pocket.

On the other hand, Lee Gun flinched when he entered the hall. A party was taking place inside, full of gods wearing luxurious dresses and divine clothes.

‘He isn’t here.’

Hades was nowhere to be found no matter how much Lee Gun looked.

Lee Gun coldly asked the twin water snakes, who had brought him inside. “Hey, where is Hades?”

“He should be here—”

“Ah! Hades-nim? Master quickly went to his star palace on the tenth floor. He got caught by his wife.”

“?!”

The water snakes were shocked.

On the other hand, Lee Gun just laughed as if he was amused. “I guess I’ll just have to head that way.”

That was preferable. The conversation would move quicker if the wife was there.

“Guide me toward the tenth floor to the star palace or whatever. You said you’ll arrange it so I can meet him.”

The water snake siblings looked at Lee Gun and spoke with serious expressions.

“We can’t.”

“What?”

“We can’t suddenly go there. It was fine here since he came here to play. However, that place is the palace of an exalted god. We cannot go there without prior consent. We can’t enter that place.”

“Yes. We need consent from Hades-nim to have a face-to-face meeting with him. This is especially true right now since he brought a rare item. It is a Construct with 600% faith. Thieves are constantly trying to steal it. Moreover, the item keeps trying to run away, so the security was heightened.”

“Since it’ll lower the value of the product, Hades-nim can’t even cut off the Construct’s legs.”

“Still, he received a lot of money upfront, so he’s able to party like this.”

“Also, that guy keeps talking about Gun daily as he desperately throws out weird paper planes outside… Who the hell is Gun?”

Lee Gun’s eyebrows twitched when he heard that. These bastards were treating Taeksoo like a product?

“Just wait a bit. Since we appreciate your sincerity, we’ll take you there in no time.”

“How long will it take?”

“It’ll take ten—”

Bbah-gahk!!!

Unable to hold it back any longer, Lee Gun sent his fists flying toward the faces of the water snakes.

Screams erupted within the banquet hall.

Lee Gun ignored that as he let out a bright smile. “You want me to wait ten months? Damn gods! You guys are too much.”

The siblings, who had yet to become bloody messes, spoke in shock.

“Look here. This is a big misunderstanding. It isn’t ten months. It is ten—”

It was about to say ten minutes.

Bbah-gahk!!!!

Lee Gun let his fist fly again as he scoffed. “What? Ten years?!!”

The last standing sibling quickly yelled out.

“N-No!! Ten—”

Bbah-gahk!!

“Ten years!!!!”

“No! It isn’t ten—!!!”

In the end, the last sibling’s face was crushed as it fell over.

“Ha. You have no scruples saying it’s ten years.”

The Hydras couldn’t even move their mouths. They felt aggrieved.

Moreover, Lee Gun didn’t plan on listening to them any further. He found a pass for the tenth floor within the pockets of the water snake siblings.

On the other hand, pandemonium broke out in the banquet hall. The reactions came from the gods who had been enjoying the party until a moment ago.

“What the hell is he?”

“Those are Hades-nim’s security guards!”

Lee Gun smiled when he heard those words. He turned his head. It was for no other reason.

“You guys are eating and drinking using the money acquired from selling my friend?” Lee Gun’s eyes flashed.

The Serpent Bearer Constructs felt an ominous feeling. They spoke within Lee Gun’s shadow.

[Excuse me, Master. You shouldn’t do this. A lot of important beings are here.]

“I see. They are all Hades’ friends?”

[Master???]

“Haha. I’ll make them into wet food for Yong Yong.”

[Master!!!!]

Screams rang out within the banquet hall.

“Damn it! Who the hell are you?”

“I’m the entertainer brought in by Hades! What about it?”

“What are you— Ahhhk!”

Pan shook outside the door as he heard the bizarre sound coming from the hall. What kind of being had entered the Divine world?

* * *

Around that time…

[Pantheon’s 10th Dimensional Floor]

Hades heard something bizarre after he returned to the star palace. “What? What did you just say right now?”

“Outside right now! Outside!”

“Outside, what?”

“An intruder came! He’s at the front door!”

“!”

Hades furrowed his brows. He was already busy, yet an intruder had come. “Let the outer security handle the intruder. I have no idea why you would bring this issue to me.”

“He isn’t a normal intruder. It’s a bizarre serpent god…!”

“Serpent god…?” Hades tilted his head in puzzlement for a moment. “Ah, ah.”

He finally remembered something that had slipped his mind, then burst out laughing. “I see. He came here to retrieve his Construct.”

“Master?”

“He’s a nameless low-rank ground from the frontier, yet he’s putting in the effort.” Hades laughed if he found the serpent god cute. “What shall we do about the intruder?”

“He isn’t worthy of our attention. Just leave him be.”

“Really?”

“At the end of the day, he’s a lowly god of no consequence. He wouldn’t be able to enter this place even if he wanted to.”

“Then….”

“Instead, I would like you to send a message to the important guests within the ship’s banquet hall. Give them my apology for leaving early. Tell them I had an urgent business I had to take care of. Tell them I was tied up, so I was unable to contact them myself. They can enjoy the party by themselves tonight.”

“I will do as ordered.”

Hades laughed as if he was enjoying himself.
