149- 156
Luminael had blue hair and gave off an endlessly good impression. Even if he didn't have glittering wings, anyone who saw his face would think he was an angel.
However, that was an old story, of course.
At present, Luminael was staring at Kang-jun with dead eyes.
His skin was all dried up like a land that had experienced a long drought. His face had literally stiffened, so no emotions could be seen.
Kang-jun was amazed to see Luminael looking like that.
He had been punished for 100 years, but he was still an advanced angel.
'The Punishment of Time must be more severe than I thought.'
In fact, it was a really terrible punishment for Kang-jun who was a human.
If Kang-jun had been punished, it was obvious that he wouldn't be able to bear it if he was still an ordinary human.
However, Luminael was an advanced angel, so he thought the effects would be lessened.
Kang-jun had never imagined he would be so broken.
"...Lucan?"
Luminael finally opened his mouth.
"You don't even recognize my face?"
Luminael made a bizarre expression and laughed wildly. His eyes flashed as he spoke,
"Y-you b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You are the real Lucan. d.a.m.n sc.u.m."
"..."
"Ugh! I'd rather die! This X b.a.s.t.a.r.d. I will kill this piece of s.h.i.+t! I will pull you to h.e.l.l with me."
Curses emerged from an angel's mouth.
Kang-jun stared at Luminael with a bemused expression, then laughed suddenly.
'That's right. I forgot.'
Once Luminael was in the sealed world, he didn't have the mentality of an advanced angel but merely that of a human.
Even a punishment of one year would be awful.
Yet, he had to spent 100 years in this empty space!
It was natural that Luminael would lose his spirit.
Kang-jun clicked his tongue and said,
"It wouldn't have been like this if you had listened to my words sooner. It isn't too late even now. Return Hayun and the others to their original states."
Luminael's body shook like he had been struck by lightning. He recalled the terrible swearing that had just emerged from his mouth and spoke with a miserable expression,
"H-how much time has passed?"
His mind was slowly returning.
"It was only a moment outside but in here, 100 years have passed."
"Hah... Was that the case?"
Luminael's expression worsened.
"I hadn't expected that I would have a mental collapse in just 100 years."
"It is because you spent that time as a human, not an angel. If you want, you can experience it one more time."
Luminael's body shook as he pleaded,
"Please..."
He finally moaned and said,
"I have gained a sense of humanity, so I understand it. I know why Lucan is so angry."
He looked at Kang-jun with pathetic eyes.
"I am really sorry. I will accept any punishment."
After swearing, he had now returned to angel mode. Kang-jun's cold expression hardened even further.
"I don't want to hear apologies. Just return Hayun and the others."
Luminael sighed again.
"I would do it unconditionally if I could. If I can escape a cursed place like this, there is no reason to hesitate."
"Then that means it is impossible?"
"It isn't impossible. It is possible if you negotiate with the celestial Gods, but I don't know if they will do you a favour."
Negotiating with the celestial Gods...
Luminael said they could do it, but it wouldn't be easy to convince them.
Kang-jun stared straight at Luminael.
"Do you really mean it? Luminael, you can't do anything with your power?"
"Unfortunately, that is correct."
Luminael nodded without any strength.
It meant that he had no power.
If he was in a company, he would only be a low-ranking employee.
The condition that Kang-jun wanted needed to be judged by the executives.
He thought an advanced angel was great, but they didn't have as much authority as he had originally thought.
If so, he needed to add more kindling.
Kang-jun was silent for a while before speaking.
"Then you can't get out of here. Wait here until the negotiation with the Celestial World is over. However, I will no longer give you the Punishment of Time."
Kang-jun waved his hand as he spoke.
At that moment, the empty space turned into a lush forest. There was a humble hut in the middle. Trees grew densely and there was a small lake.
It was an ordinary forest scenery.
"Ohh!"
Luminael shouted excitedly. It was frustrating to remain trapped, but a forest was a million times better than empty space.
Furthermore, it might be sloppy, but there was a hut. There was also a lake next to it.
Kang-jun stared at Luminael grimly.
"Whether you leave or not depends on the celestial Gods. If they are wise, you can exit sooner."
"Thank you for the consideration, Lucan."
Luminael knew that Kang-jun wouldn't release him while the negotiation with the celestial Gods was still ongoing. He was grateful for this much consideration as he knew Kang-jun could make a very rough environment for

him to suffer in.
Kang-jun then emerged from the sealed world and was troubled for a moment.
If he couldn't regain Hayun and the others with Luminael's power, then it was going to be harder than he had thought.
He didn't know if the celestial Gods would allow it so easily.
'But they won't just discard an advanced angel.'
Just based on his combat power, Luminael was a talented person. Losing Luminael would be a great loss to the Celestial World.
However, if they weren't idiots, they wouldn't give up Hayun and the others just for Luminael.
Thus, Kang-jun had to convince the Celestial World in the negotiation.
He shouldn't overdo it.
However, he needed to be in a favourable position for the negotiation.
He should be the one holding the hilt.
Kang-jun's heart became heavy at the thought that it would take longer than expected to recover Hayun and the others.
It might even be necessary to fight the celestial Gods.
If Kang-jun defeated them, he would give them no choice in the negotiation.
They would only negotiate if they couldn't do anything against Kang-jun.
Could he win against a celestial God?
Luminael had a similar combat power to the demonic God, Heldas, that he had seen previously. This meant the upper ranks must be stronger than the demonic Gods.
Originally, it would be impossible for Kang-jun to deal with the celestial Gods. However, he was now the guardian of Hwanmong.
Most of the celestial Gods' fraudulent powers wouldn't work.
Still, Kang-jun decided to raise his combat power in preparation for the battles ahead.
'I need to create more power jewels.'
Two power jewels could be attached to the Heaven's Blood Sword. There was already one jewel attached while the other spot was vacant.
Guardian, Destruction and Survival!
Kang-jun intended to make the Destruction Power Jewel to increase his attack power.
'The Destruction Jewel will raise my attack power.'
At that moment, the contents of the Book of Power and the related recipe rose up before him.
[The power of destruction will increase your attack power in Hwanmong greatly. In particular, it will deal lethal damage to immortal creatures such as the celestial Gods and demonic Gods.
[Destruction Power Jewel Recipe]
-Two bottles of blood from demonic Gods, one Essence of Power, 100 Dimensional Pieces and 100 synthesized Essence of Chaos.
[The blood of a demonic God can be obtained using a destruction bottle created from a Destruction Piece melted by chaos power.]
[Only one bottle of blood can be acquired from a demonic God.]
'I need the blood of a demonic God.'
The other materials were in his inventory. The only one he needed was the blood of a demonic God.
[Mission] Obtain the Destruction Power Jewel
[Performance Conditions] Created Destruction Power Jewel 0/1
[Compensation] Three levels, one Chaos Knowledge Script
[Would you like to accept the mission?]
[Yes/No]
'Oh! Mission!'
Surprisingly, there was a related mission.
If he created the Destruction Power Jewel, he could gain three levels as well as another Chaos Knowledge Script!
'Enormous rewards.'
Kang-jun's eyes widened with surprise.
He had been feeling regret that he hadn't gotten any experience from sealing Luminael.
If he didn't kill them, he couldn't get experience. So, sealing advanced angels wasn't much use in this area.
This was why it wasn't good to fight the Gods.
Winning wasn't worth it.
However, it was a different story if there was a mission.
Of course, if he wanted to create the Destruction Power Jewel, he needed to fight two demonic Gods and obtain their blood.
However, this wouldn't be too difficult for Kang-jun.
'Yes! I accept.'
[The mission was accepted.]
[Create a Destruction Power Jewel to complete the mission.]
'I don't know when a demonic God will appear, so let's make a destruction bottle quickly.'
He needed a Destruction Piece to create the bottle. The last time, he had consumed all the Destruction Pieces to make the Sealing Jewel, so he didn't have any left.
'It is better to keep a bunch of Destruction Pieces.'
Kang-jun moved to the dark space directly.
He swept away all the halls he saw.
The transcendents fighting in front of each Hall of Destruction were stunned as the creatures suddenly disappeared.
However, they thought there was merely an anomaly in the Hall of Destruction. They never imagined that Kang-jun had appeared and destroyed the creatures.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Halls of Destruction were broken and Kang-jun acquired 32,972 Destruction Pieces.
'This should be enough.'
For the moment, there weren't anymore Destruction Pieces in the dark space.
Kang-jun left the dark space and immediately melted a Destruction Piece with chaos power.
Chu chu chu.
The Destruction Piece was melted and a piece of dough the size of a nail emerged.
'Hundreds of Destruction Pieces are needed to create one bottle.'
The size for the bottle was floating in front of Kang-jun like a hologram.
In order to make a bottle of that size, Kang-jun had to melt the Destruction Pieces and shape the dough.
He finally made one.
It was transparent, just like ordinary glass.
All he needed to do now was add the blood of a demonic God.
Chu chu chu chu.
Kang-jun continued melting Destruction Pieces and another bottle was soon finished.
He completed the preparations by making two bottles to contain the demonic Gods' blood.
"I wish that two demonic Gods would appear."
However, there were no signs of that yet.
Kang-jun would feel it immediately if a demonic God entered Pavalia Station.
'When will they come?'
He didn't know where they were, so he had to wait for the demonic Gods to come.
However, he couldn't just wait patiently.
Kang-jun decided to make the materials for the other power jewels in the meantime. He would need them someday anyway.
[The Guardian Power Jewel gives you a powerful defense ability in Hwanmong. In particular, it creates defenses that prevent external beings from entering the area you are defending.]
[Guardian Power Jewel]
-Two bottles of blood from celestial Gods, one Essence of Power, 100 Dimensional Pieces and 100 synthesized Essence of Chaos.
[The blood of a celestial God can be obtained using a destruction bottle created from a Destruction Piece that was melted by chaos power.]
[Only one bottle of blood can be gained from a celestial angel.]
The Guardian Power Jewel required the blood of a celestial God, rather than a demonic God.
It wouldn't be difficult to obtain the blood of the Gods since he would be fighting them soon.
[Mission] Create a Guardian Power Jewel
[Performance Conditions] Guardian Power Jewel created: 0/1
[Compensation] Three levels, one Chaos Knowledge Script
[Do you want to accept the mission?]
[Yes/No]
Surprisingly, another mission appeared. It might be because he wasn't limited to only one mission like before.
Kang-jun accepted it instantly.
If he completed these two missions, he would gain six levels. However, the greater reward was the Chaos Knowledge Script.
If he gathered three of them, he could get a glimpse into another world.
He had already obtained one from Shadowless. Once these missions were completed, he would have three Chaos Knowledge Scripts.
Hopefully, opening it would allow him to go one step higher.
'These missions are really helping me.'
It was like the shadows had said. He didn't know about anywhere else, but Kang-jun would be able to defeat anyone if he was in Hwanmong.
'Then shall I see the power of the last jewel?'
[The Survival Power Jewel gives you the power of immortality in Hwanmong. You can survive even if you die, but dying will lower your abilities.]
[Survival Power Jewel]
-Three bottles of blood from celestial Gods, three bottles of blood from demonic Gods, three Essence of Power, 1000 Dimensional Pieces, 1000 Dimensional Pieces and and 100 synthesized Essence of Chaos.
The Survival Power Jewel required the greatest amount of materials.
'The amount of materials required is enormous.'
Apart from the essences, he required three bottles of blood from the demonic Gods and celestial Gods.
However, it was necessary to become immortal so that Kang-jun wouldn't die like the demonic Gods or celestial Gods.
[Mission] Create the Survival Power Jewel
[Performance Conditions] Created Survival Power Jewel: 0/1
[Compensation] Five levels, Hwanmong Protector's Necklace (Hwanmong)
[Do you want to accept the mission?]
[Yes/No]
Kang-jun accepted it instantly. The amount of ingredients required for the Survival Power Jewel was huge, so the rewards were enormous as well.
He would gain five levels and a Hwanmong ranked necklace.
To complete all missions, he needed five bottles of blood from the celestial Gods and five from the demonic Gods.
'Then I should make all the bottles at once.'
Kang-jun immediately melted down Dimensional Pieces and Destruction Pieces and formed them into bottles.
After a while, three destruction and five dimensional bottles were completed. Kang-jun put them all in his inventory.
He was ready!
Then Kang-jun felt a different and powerful energy appear in Pavalia Station.
It was a demonic God.
'It's been quiet and one finally showed up.'
However, Kang-jun welcomed it at this moment.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa!
The dimensional sea swirled like it was caught in a huge typhoon. The small worlds in its radius were hidden without a trace.
Dozens of small worlds disappeared in the blink of an eye.
'Are the small worlds comfortable?'
In the end, this was all an illusion.
If he won, the demonic God would have no effect on Pavalia Station. However, if he lost, this situation would become real.
Therefore, he needed to win.
'He is stronger than the one I saw last time.'
Kang-jun frowned as he looked around.
This time, the demonic God attacking Kang-jun was a huge storm! The momentum was incomparable to Heldas.
He was Tonnach, the storm demonic God.
Once Kang-jun appeared, Tonnach turned into a warrior holding a pair of swords.
"Are you the one called Lucan? As a human who has just reached the level of chaos, it is stupid to walk into the realm of the Gods. But if you now surrender to Karosio, I won't do anything to you."
Kang-jun laughed coldly.
"There is no such thing. You will regret visiting me today."
Kang-jun's sword glowed as his words finished.
Hwaaak!
At the moment, the storm, which had been turning the dimensional sea into chaos, disappeared as the line of light flew toward Tonnach's chest.
Kwaang! Kwaang!
Surprisingly, Tonnach received Kang-jun's strike. He had to step back, but he was definitely on a different level from Heldas who had been cut in two.
Flash! Flash!
So, Kang-jun cornered him without giving him any room.
Once he made a certain number of attacks, he would be able to tell how much combat power his opponent had.
Tonnach was an opponent that Kang-jun could beat. However, if Kang-jun gave room for a counterattack, Tonnach would be more tricky.
Kw.a.n.g! Kwaang!
It was better to push Tonnach without pausing for breath.
'Euh! This type of ability.'
Tonnach panicked as a flash emerged from Kang-jun's sword.
Tonnach was pushed back from the impact of the strike.
He couldn't dream of a counterattack as he could barely defend.
Then he realized why Heldas had been defeated in such a terrible state.
(Hatunia! What are you doing? Are you just going to watch?)
Tonnach hurriedly called out to someone.
He hadn't come here alone.
Due to Karosio's order, he had come here today with Hatunia, who was a snake demonic God.
(You were so confident that you could win by yourself, yet you eventually asked for help.)
At that moment, a gigantic snake appeared behind Kang-jun.
It was Hatunia!
He aimed a

long whip at Kang-jun.
Swiiik!
The speed of the whip ripped through the dimensional space. Kang-jun, who had been driving Tonnach back, had to move his body to avoid the whip.
'He's out now.'
Outwardly, Kang-jun looked confused, but he was smiling on the inside.
From the very beginning, Kang-jun had known that another demonic God had been watching them from somewhere nearby.
So, he hadn't revealed his ability on purpose as he only used enough power to push Tonnach.
It was so that the other demonic God wouldn't escape.
'Okay, two bottles of blood!'
Although it was a slight mockery, to Kang-jun, they weren't much different from blood banks.
He would seal both of them without fail.
'Thanks to you, I can get the Destruction Power Jewel today.'
Hatunia and Tonnach started a fierce offensive.
Kwarururung! Kwa kwa kwa kw.a.n.g!
Sswik! Swiiik!
A storm emerged from Tonnach's double swords! Hatunia's whip moved all over the space!
In particular, the length of Hatunia's whip was infinitely long and could stretch out to destroy a small world.
As a result, the worlds protected by Heksia and Klater disappeared.
It was Hatunia's intention to cause Kang-jun to become furious and expose a gap, but he didn't even blink.
He calmly defended against the attacks from the two demonic Gods.
Disaster came to Hatunia first.
Flash!
A ray of light flew through the whip that had been winding around Kang-jun persistently.
It pierced Hatunia's head.
That happened in the blink of an eye.
Once the snake head turned into dust, Tonnach's throat was sliced by Kang-jun as he stared in astonishment.
Chwaaaak!
That was the end.
Hatunia and Tonnach felt uneasy and tried to escape, but they had been moved to an unknown space.
It was a clearing in a dense forest.
There was a shabby hut situated in it and a small lake could be seen through the trees.
That was the entire world.
There was an angel with a scruffy face sitting idly by the lake.
Even though Luminael had been transformed into a gruesome state, Hatunia and Tonnach still recognized him as an advanced angel.
They had been fighting for a very long time, so they knew his name. The unusual thing was that they couldn't feel any divine power from Luminael!
However, that didn't matter right now. It wasn't the time to worry about someone else.
Hatunia and Tonnach were dismayed that they couldn't feel any magic in their bodies.
They still had the immortal ability of a demonic God but nothing else remained.
"W-what is going on here?"
"Unbelievable! A seal?"
They soon realized that they had been sealed by Kang-jun.
At that time, Luminael finally discovered Hatunia and Tonnach.
'They are?'
He was also able to recognize their identities.
His expression changed then.
A gleeful expression that said 'this situation is great' appeared on his face.
"Hahaha! It is so nice to see both of you here. It is the first time I've laughed in 100 years."
He was delighted that the demonic Gods had been captured.
"Shut up."
"You have lost your fear."
Hatunia and Tonnach seemed like they wanted to eat Luminael.
Then they flinched and turned their heads with surprise.
At that moment, Kang-jun had extended his hand and blood burst from Hatunia's body.
Jululuk.
Kang-jun captured it in a destruction bottle with an indifferent expression.
"W-what did you do?"
However, this time Kang-jun burst open Tonnach's chest.
Jululuk.
And another destruction bottle was filled with blood.
"Great."
Kang-jun grinned at the two bottles of blood.
Hatunia and Tonnach started cursing at Kang-jun.
"How dare a human devour a God! Do you think you will be spared?"
"Kukuku! If Karosio knows about this, you will fall into her curse."
In the midst of all this, they were still threatening him.
Kang-jun gazed at them with an indifferent expression and muttered,
"I'm busy, so I will see you in 100 years."
Kang-jun waved his hand and Hatunia and Tonnach disappeared from the forest.
They reappeared again in an empty space.
However, they were thrown there separately.
This was the solitary prison that Kang-jun had created.
Of course, each solitary prison would receive the Punishment of Time.
The first target had been the advanced angel, Luminael, and there were now two demonic Gods.
[The Punishment of Time has begun. A countdown to 100 years has begun.]
The demon Gods also had to endure a long time with the mentality of a human.
Kang-jun was still standing in the forest with Luminael and he pulled out the alchemy ingredients instantly.
'Synthesis!'
There was a momentary flash and all the materials disappeared.
[The Destruction Power Jewel has been successfully created.]
[Destruction Power Jewel]
-Rating: Hwanmong
-Damage will increase significantly. In particular, lethal damage will be dealt to immortal beings such as celestial Gods and demonic Gods in Hwanmong.
-It will be effective when mounting on a weapon.
'Huhuhu, it is a success.'
Kang-jun was delighted.
[The mission has been accomplished.]
[You have gained enough experience to increase your level by three as a reward.]
[A Chaos Knowledge Script has been acquired as compensation.]
Kang-jun rose to Lv314 and gained his second Chaos Knowledge Script.
He immediately attached the Destruction Power Jewel to Heaven's Blood Sword.
[The attack power of Heaven's Blood Sword has greatly increased.]
[You can cause fatal damage to celestial Gods, demonic Gods, etc. in Hwanmong.]
The Heaven's Blood Sword shone intensely.
A power that seemed to be able to destroy the world rose from the blade!
Luminael quivered as he saw it from a distance.
'Ahh, that is the Destruction Power Jewel! What to do?'
Lucan was already terribly strong, but he had now obtained the Destruction Power Jewel!
Luminael moaned inwardly.
'It would be wise to give Lucan what he wants, but they will never make such a choice. It is a big deal.'
Luminael knew better than anyone how knowledgeable and inflexible the celestial Gods were.
They would press Lucan to carry out their will.
However, Lucan wasn't an easy opponent.
He didn't know about anywhere else, but it was true in Hwanmong.
So, he had been uneasy thinking about what would happen in the future.
However, the situation he had been worried about was happening now.
"...!"
Kang-jun was stroking the Heaven's Blood Sword when his expression changed suddenly.
In the skies of Pavalia Station...
A woman with brilliant wings looked down with a cold smile.
Kang-jun sensed it the moment he saw her.
She was a celestial Goddess!
At last, a celestial God had come to Kang-jun.
(Lord! That is the celestial Goddess, Shaoniel.)
Once Kang-jun appeared, Grania, who had received a revelation in advance, sent him a message hurriedly.
(If possible, I wish that Lord won't become an enemy of the Celestial World, but I will follow Lord's will.)
Kang-jun smiled at Grania.
(Leave it to me, Grania. Just return to your base.)
(Yes, Lord.)
He didn't think it would be good if Grania was here.
Of course, Kang-jun had no intention of simply starting a fight with Shaoniel, who was staring at him from above.
It would be good if he could resolve it through conversation.
If the Celestial World returned Hayun and the others and would make no future interferences, Kang-jun would maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with them in the future.
Of course, he would release the advanced angel, Luminael, immediately as well.
However, if the celestial Goddess, Shaoniel, ignored his request and continued to adhere to the position of the Celestial World, then Kang-jun wouldn't tolerate it.
Kang-jun should also consider the demands of the Celestial World.
'Give up on Hwanmong and return to reality! '
However, that was telling Kang-jun to just die.
Although he got angry when he thought about it, Kang-jun smiled silently and spoke politely to Shaoniel,
"You are the celestial Goddess, Shaoniel. It is great since I wanted to have a conversation with someone like you."
Her beauty was comparable to the Goddess of Destruction, who had made Kang-jun lose control temporarily.
His heart thumped even when he had only seen half of Karosio.
However, it was impossible to feel nothing when seeing Shaoniel.
She was literally the culmination of beauty!
It was the moment when Kang-jun realized the difference between a beautiful girl and a Goddess-like beauty.
He was now seeing a real Goddess!
She was the beginning of all beauty! And the origin of women!
The golden ratio that men were so crazy about! It must have come from Shaoniel in front of him.
However, unlike when he saw Karosio, she possessed a divine sense of dignity that didn't make him want to possess her.
When looking at Shaoniel from the viewpoint of a human, he would be filled with the desire to bow and wors.h.i.+p her.
That was the difference between Shaoniel and Karosio.
Kang-jun thought that this was a good thing.
In fact, it was easier to deal with.
The Goddess of Destruction Karosio would be frighteningly attractive if he ever met her face to face.
Karosio's appearance was similar to Shaoniel, but her temperament was in the exact opposite direction.
Everything about her flowed towards tempting a man. Karosio exuded seduction.
Kang-jun struggled with how he would endure the temptation when he met her.
If he wasn't prepared in advance, he might get hit. It was a terrifying temptation that had broken down even the will of chaos.
Kang-jun wasn't even sure that his willpower had surpassed Shadowless as of yet.
On the other hand, Shaoniel had no idea what he was thinking. She opened up after a while,
"You wanted to talk to me, Lucan? But why don't you release Luminael first? Then I will have a conversation with you."
It was obvious that she felt angry about the advanced angel, Luminael, being sealed.
Kang-jun laughed.
"Then won't you release my friends and household members that have been captured? If you let them go, I have no reason to hold on to Luminael."
However, Shaoniel just looked over Kang-jun with a disbelieving expression.
"Lucan! You are unaware of what you are doing right now. I'm not asking but commanding you."
"I am a person. Why are you giving me a command when I don't have to follow it?"
"You are indeed impudent. A person with merely the power of dreams dares to fight against the Gods?"
Kang-jun's expression gradually began to harden.
It was the Celestial World, but there were so many disappointing things that he decided to give up on being polite.
Shaoniel continued,
"This is just a figment of a dream. Why are you so obsessed with a dream that you forget about reality? Don't you realize that the Gods of the Celestial World, including me, are greatly angry with your attitude?"
She scolded Kang-jun. The silent Kang-jun suddenly opened his mouth,
"I'm curious about one thing. If I hadn't moved, would you have tried to stop the aliens from destroying Earth? Surely, it wasn't a delusion that I blocked them with the power of Hwanmong?"
Shaoniel stiffened. Anger filled her eyes as she said,
"That is an area that the Gods can't know about.
Advertisement
Why should we try to intervene with the affairs of the world?"
Kang-jun sighed.
"It is like talking to a wall. Finally, please- no, I am warning you. It isn't too late. If you return Hayun and the others, I will maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with you."
Kang-jun truly meant his words. He had some expectations for a celestial Goddess.
Kang-jun was a man.
Although the blood of a celestial God was necessary, he didn't want to cut the body of a true Goddess that all men would admire.
However, if she continued this way, then he would no longer treat her as a Goddess.
Unfortunately, Shaoniel simply rebuked Kang-jun with even more anger.
"Lucan, you don't know how to turn around. You have committed terrible sins against the Celestial World and the angel you sealed."
"Are you asking for my sins?"
"Of course. This dream world will disappear as well as everything that belongs to you in reality. Once you have spend a long time screaming, the price of your sins will be death."
"..."
Kang-jun was silent for a moment, then he sneered at Shaoniel.
"Try it if you have the ability to do so, Shaoniel."
The look in Kang-jun's eyes and his tone changed. He had shown a polite attitude to the celestial Goddess but now that politeness had disappeared.
"I warned you but you didn't accept it. Now, you will feel how helpless you are."
The outraged Shaoniel shouted,
"Indeed, a terrible existence! I will make you feel the wrath of the celestial Gods."
At that moment, the space around him changed.
It had become a space filled with light, not the dimensional sea.
However, the light gave off an eerie power that wasn't favourable toward Kang-jun.
Hwaaak! Hwaaaaack!
A flock of light came from everywhere.
It was more intense that the experience in the Hall of Destruction which had reminded him of the Big Bang.
'Indeed, a celestial Goddess!'
Kang-jun exclaimed inwardly.
She was on a different class from the advanced angel and demonic Gods he had dealt with before.
'I have to focus and do my best.'
Even after defeating Shadowless, Kang-jun had continued to grow stronger.
Moreover, he had just equipped himself with the Destruction Power Jewel.
Therefore, he wondered how strong he truly was. He was now facing an opponent strong enough to force him to his limits!
So, Kang-jun focused everything he had on the battle.
Flash! Flash flash!
His sword collided with Shaoniel's ray of light and destroyed them.
"...!"
In response to Shaoniel's expression of amazement, Kang-jun came aiming the Heaven's Blood Sword at her.
Pahat.
Shaoniel escaped Kang-jun's attacks using space movement.
However, her face was stiff.
'I can't believe it. No matter how much power he gained from Hwanmong, he shouldn't be able to prevent my attacks. Too scary.'
She couldn't let Kang-jun grow even further.
A human shouldn't have this power.
'I will overthrow you with all my strength.'
A glorious light emerged from her eyes.
Hwakak! Hwaaack!
Using all her abilities, Shaoniel activated her Shackles of Light.
Kang-jun's body was surrounded by an infinite net of light.
Then they all rushed toward Kang-jun.
Chwaaaaah!
Kang-jun's body was hidden by the shroud of light and couldn't be seen anymore.
The net of light became smaller, reaching the size of a fist, then a few millimeters.
'The sealing is a success.'
Shaoniel sighed with an expression of relief.
It was too dangerous.
She had to pour out all her power.
However, now that he was sealed, everything was resolved.
Shaoniel was going to take this bead back the Celestial World and discuss how to deal with him.
However, at that moment...
Puhak!
A sword was stuck in her chest.
Then a surprising presence appeared in front of her.
It was Kang-jun. He wore a derisive smile as he pulled the Heaven's Blood Sword out of her chest.
Chwaack!
Blood spurted out like a fountain.
"How...? Weren't you sealed in this bead?"
Shaoniel questioned as she felt the power escaping from her body. She couldn't understand the situation.
Kang-jun replied with a serious expression,
"Did you think you could put me in a net in Hwanmong? You only captured my illusion."
He took out a dimensional bottle and received Shaoniel's blood.
"And you let your guard down when you thought I was sealed. Thanks to that, I was able to beat you more easily than I had thought."
"W-what did you do?"
Shaoniel quivered at his actions that seemed so natural, it was like he was taking milk from a cow.
She could only stare blankly as he took her blood.
Then she realized something...
The space around them was completely different. This wasn't the space that she had created, but a Hwanmong world created by Kang-jun.
'D-did he seal me?'
She had never even imagined it. That could never happen.
An advanced angel was occasionally sealed by a demonic God, but there was no precedence of a celestial God being sealed.
Of course, it might have happened in the myriad of dimensions that existed, but it had never occurred in the Celestial World that Shaoniel belonged to.
Therefore, it was the first time she had ever experienced a seal.
'No. Something is wrong...'
However, she could feel that it was reality after seeing an advanced angel staring at her with astonishment and despair.
"Ahh, Shaoniel! Even you..."
Luminael sighed at the situation and tears of despair flowed from his eyes.
In the end, it had turned out like this. His anxiety had become reality.
The celestial Goddess Shaoniel was sealed!
Luminael felt both shock and despair.
Additionally, he was in a daze as Kang-jun took blood from her in the same way as he had done it to the demonic Gods.
"Lucan, please. Please don't disrespect her any more."
He shouted at Kang-jun. However, Kang-jun didn't listen and continued filling up the bottle with Shaoniel's blood.
He acquired one bottle of a celestial God's blood.
If he got one more bottle, he would be able to make a Guardian Power Jewel.
The mission would be completed immediately and he would get the Chaos Knowledge Script as well as some levels.
For Kang-jun, the Chaos Knowledge Script was more important than the Guardian Power Jewel. If he could obtain it, he would transcend his limits once again.
Therefore, he didn't care about getting the blood of a celestial Goddess like Shaoniel.
Instead, in this sealed world, Shaoniel wasn't a Goddess.
She was just a prisoner who had been sealed by Kang-jun.
"Ugh, how terrible and wicked... You dare do this to a celestial Goddess?"
However, even in this situation, Shaoniel scoffed at Kang-jun.
Kang-jun laughed coldly.
"You still don't understand your position. I'll see you in 100 years."
Luminael ran forward and shouted,
"Lucan! You can't do this. Please punish me once more instead. Don't be rude to her anymore..."
However, Luminael's words were just empty echoes.
Kang-jun and Shaoniel had disappeared.
"What are you going to do to me now?"
Shaoniel was confused as she was suddenly thrown from a forest to an empty space.
It was a separate world that Kang-jun had placed Shaoniel in.
He glared at her and said bluntly,
"You will spend 100 years here. I might be open to a conversation with you after that."
Shaoniel laughed.
"Are you going to punish me with time? It is a mistake to think that I would suffer under that punishment."
"It might be ridiculous from a God's point of view, but it won't be easy as a human. Endure it well."
Kang-jun immediately activated the punishment.
[The Punishment of Time has begun. A countdown to 100 years has begun.]
On the one hand, some guests had come again.
The moment Kang-jun sealed Shaoniel, there were vibrations in the sky above Pavalia Station!
They were all dressed in blue armour and held weapons in their hands.
Blue wings shone on their backs and their momentum was below Shaoniel's. However, there were three of them.
'Aren't they determined today? I wanted to see them as well.'
It was good since he only needed one more bottle of blood from a celestial God to create the Guardian Power Jewel.
As Kang-jun exited the sealed world, one of the three angels said with a stern expression,
"I am a lieutenant God of the Celestial World, Lius. Is Shaoniel's disappearance from here related to you?"
Of course, it was related. Kang-jun swung the Heaven's Blood Sword without saying a word.
Flash---!
There was no need to speak.
He just needed a victory.
There could be no smooth conversation between them as he had already sealed Shaoniel.
Therefore, he had to take control. There was no point in conversation.
Kang-jun had decided on a surprise attack from the beginning. Lius tried hurriedly to defend, but his chest had already been cut apart.
Chwack!
"T-this..."
His confused voice soon disappeared into the sealed Hwanmong world.
The other two lieutenant Gods witnessed the situation with a disbelieving expression.
They were the celestial Gods, Kuroksu and Tarub.
"You! You can't be forgiven."
"Indeed, a terrible existence! You have received the power of Hwanmong and become a celestial God."
Kurururu! Kwa kwa kwa kw.a.n.g!
They were indeed lieutenants of the angels.
An intense light emerged from them and divided the space, causing a part of the dimensional sea to disappear without a trace.
Was the dimension collapsing?
In terms of destructive power, they were approximately even with Kang-jun.
Since they had witnessed Lius being sealed by Kang-jun, they used everything they had from the beginning.
Flash! Flash! Kwa kwa kwa kw.a.n.g! Kwarurung!
Numerous lightning bolts were aimed at Kang-jun. They weren't common lightning bolts but ones which contained divine power.
It was a fearsome storm of divine power!
However, Kang-jun had the power of the Destruction Power Jewel added to the chaos power present in the Heaven's Blood Sword.
Therefore, he broke through the Gods' offensive and dealt a fatal blow to their bodies.
Kwaang! Kwaang!
At this moment, the celestial Gods found it difficult to defend, let alone attack. Additionally, the acc.u.mulated damage slowed down their bodies.
Chwack!
Eventually, the end came and Kang-jun's Heaven's Blood Sword sliced across the throat of the celestial God, Kuroksu.
"U-unbelievable..."
Kuroksu cried out bitterly as he disappeared.
Chwack! Puhwahak!
Subsequently, the celestial God, Tarub, had his body split in half, horizontally at the waist.
"You won't be safe..."
Tarub disappeared into the sealed world.
Suuk.
Kang-jun looked around, but there were no more celestial Gods.
'There are no more.'
Kang-jun instantly entered the sealed world.
The three celestial Gods, including Lius, sent Kang-jun menacing looks.
"Demonic God, Lucan!"
"You are now an enemy of the
Advertisement
Celestial World."
"Lucan! You might believe in the blasphemous power of Hwanmong, but you will pay the price soon enough."
They called Kang-jun a demonic God.
Then it didn't matter.
Kang-jun brandished his sword.
Chwack! Chwack! Chwaack!
Blood flowed from the bodies of the three celestial Gods and Kang-jun placed dimensional bottles in front of all of them to receive the blood.
[The blood of a celestial God has been acquired.]
[The blood of a celestial God has been acquired.]
[The blood of a celestial God has been acquired.]
Kang-jun gazed with pleasure at the messages that popped up once the bottles were full.
However, Lius and the others couldn't restrain themselves as they saw their blood in the bottles.
"What is this evil behaviour?"
"You will absolutely never be forgiven."
All they could do was curse at him.
Then Kang-jun waved his hands like his work was over.
"I'll see you guys later in 100 years. I hope you realize the situation properly then."
Lius and the others disappeared.
Kang-jun's work was now accomplished. Keeping them around wouldn't be good for his blood pressure.
Didn't they need a good punishment?
If they were still like this after 100 years, he could give them another 100 years.
Kang-jun could use the Punishment of Time as much as he wanted.
"Ah, what are you trying to do, Lucan? Are you really going to become enemies with the Celestial World forever?"
Luminael had seen Shaoniel and the other celestial Gods being sealed.
This was because Kang-jun had filled the blood near the forest where Luminael was.
"Please stop now. This is a request."
"Why should I stop? Will the Celestial World stop?"
Kang-jun stared straight at Luminael.
"I wanted to stop from the beginning. You were the ones who brought on all these things. Did I barge into the Celestial World to do this?"
Luminael had nothing to say in response.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the Celestial World wouldn't cease and desist anymore.
Not only would the Celestial World eliminate Kang-jun's Hwanmong, they would also inflict great punishment on him.
Both sides were now irreversible.
Either the Celestial World would collapse or Lucan and his Hwanmong would disappear.
It had to be one of these two consequences.
Of course, Luminael was sure that the Celestial World would win.
'In the end, the chiefs will move.'
The sacred chief Gods that guarded the north, south, east and west areas!
If they came, Lucan wouldn't be able to stand against them.
However, he felt some vague anxiety as well.
If they lost, what would happen to the Celestial World?
Suuk. Suuk.
On the other hand, Kang-jun was pulling out materials from his inventory and placing them on the ground.
Today, he had obtained four bottles of blood from the celestial Gods, so he used two of them to make the Guardian Power Jewel.
Firstly, the two bottles of blood from the celestial Gods were placed on the floor, followed by one Essence of Power, 100 Dimensional Pieces, then 100 Essence of Chaos.
'Synthesis!'
The light expanded as alchemy was used.
[The Guardian Power Jewel has been successfully created.]
[Guardian Power Jewel]
-Rating: Hwanmong
-Placing this on a Guard Tower will form a protective chain over the area that the guardian controls.
'Oh! This is?'
Kang-jun was amazed by the explanation for the Guardian Power Jewel.
It wasn't attached to any equipment.
It could be placed at the Guard Tower at his base.
He had already created one at the Delta building headquarters. It was currently a stage 10 facility that increased the defense of the base.
However, the Guardian Power Jewel would form a protective chain around the entire area governed by Kang-jun.
[A Guard Tower exists in your area of Hwanmong.]
[Do you want to place the Guardian Power Jewel?]
[Yes/No]
It was convenient since Kang-jun didn't have to go to the Guard Tower.
This was because Kang-jun was the guardian.
'Yes! Place it.'
There was no reason to hesitate. The Guardian Power Jewel disappeared and a new message popped up.
[The Guardian Power Jewel has been placed on top of the Guard Tower.]
[The protective chain has formed around Pavalia Station.]
[Your defense power has greatly increased.]
Amazingly, the entire Pavalia Station was now under the protection of the chain.
This was because the connection between his numerous bases on the small worlds made Kang-jun's territory Pavalia Station itself.
[Now, all doors to Pavalia Station from the outside are blocked.]
[From now on, no one can enter Pavalia Station without your permission.]
The mysterious power of the protective chain concealed Pavalia Station from the outside, so that no one could find a door to it.
Therefore, it was impossible for the demonic Gods to attack Pavalia Station like they had before.
They could break the protective chain to enter, but Kang-jun would remove them before that happened.
Kang-jun would know as soon as someone attacked the protective chain and he would go immediately to defend it.
[The mission has been accomplished.]
[As a reward, enough experience will be given to increase your level by three.]
[A Chaos Knowledge Script has been acquired as compensation.]
Meanwhile, the mission to create the Guardian Power Jewel was completed.
Thanks to that, Kang-jun was now Lv317.
He finally collected three Chaos Knowledge Scripts.
He could get a glimpse of a new world with it.
A broken sword.
A broken spear.
A broken staff.
The first one, he had received it from defeating Shadowless, while the other two had been rewards from a mission.
Perhaps, they had all been left behind by some chaos being.
'Can I now see a new world?'
As soon as Kang-jun gathered them together, they shone brightly.
Hwaaack!
There was a bright glow and Kang-jun was moved to a completely different space.
This was another space.
It was a special space created by the harmony of the Chaos Knowledge Scripts.
Strange illusions were unfolding before Kang-jun's eyes.
There were a total of three illusions!
The first illusion was Shadowless, who Kang-jun knew well, doing a specific action while holding a sword.
Every time his sword moved, a new dimensional space was created, then it would disappear.
'Isn't this the first time I'm seeing it?'
It was Heaven's Blood Sword Style.
He had seen a trace of the Heaven's Blood Sword Style before Shadowless died, but it now looked completely different.
'He seems to be swinging his sword roughly, but the dimensional space disappears and reappears again.'
Of course, it wasn't difficult for Kang-jun to do it if he decided to. However, the illusion of Shadowless' actions were natural and light.
However, Shadowless seemed to be in serious distress.
Why did the illusion look like that?
Kang-jun decided to follow Shadowless' movements.
Kang-jun used Heaven's Blood Sword and instantly assimilated Shadowless' movements.
Papapat! Sususu! Supak!
However, Kang-jun felt something strange as he followed the actions.
It was a sense of stuffiness.
What did it mean?
Kang-jun followed Shadowless' movements without hesitation. After a while, he was moving completely like Shadowless.
'That's right.'
Kang-jun's eyes shone.
'It is incomplete.'
An incomplete technique!
It was a knowledge piece for a new technique.
That's why Shadowless was frustrated.
The technique wasn't perfect.
Kang-jun's heart started beating wildly.
However, what if it was completed?
He couldn't even imagine what the result would be.
Although it was incomplete, it showed a way to move forward.
It was at that moment...
[After gaining enlightenment through the Chaos Knowledge Script, you have gained a lot of experience and your level will rise by 13.]
He reached Lv330.
He leveled up just from enlightenment. As a result, Kang-jun felt a dramatic increase in his attack power.
However, there were still new perspectives to consider.
Kang-jun turned his head and looked at the second illusion.
A female warrior was wielding a red spear.
Pa pa pa pa!
The energy that emerged from her spear reminded him of a chaos storm which had stirred in Pavalia Station.
It was a spear technique that he had seen for the first time.
However, at first glance, he felt like it was just as good as the Heaven's Blood Sword Style.
The trajectory and movement of the spear was like a sudden blowing wind and a gently rolling lake. Sometimes, it had the flexible movements of a fish and other times, it had the rough movements of a beast.
The movements of creatures and inanimate objects...
The transforming spear contained everything in nature!
'The more I look, the more profound it seems.'
Then after some time...
A normal looking stab caused a chaotic storm to arise.
'That is?'
Kang-jun's eyes widened. It was something similar to what Shadowless had displayed a while ago.
Something was blocked. So, it was frustrating. This was also unfinished.
It was obvious from the expression of the woman holding the spear that she felt limitations of the technique.
Pa pa pa pa!
Hwiririk! Papapat!
Since then, the warrior's spear moved constantly.
Kang-jun observed the movements and trajectory of the spear for a long time.
Before he knew it, Kang-jun was holding a spear in his hand and he followed the movements of the warrior.
[After gaining enlightenment through the Chaos Knowledge Script, you have gained a lot of experience and your level will rise by 15.]
Once again, his level rose.
Lv345!
Kang-jun's combat power increased dramatically.
'The next stage is still vague.'
Still, Kang-jun didn't give up his expectations for the last illusion. It was certain that collecting three of the Chaos Knowledge Scripts would allow him to gain a different perspective into a new world.
Susususu.
The final illusion was an old man holding a staff with a blue jewel. Once he cast a spell, the dimension changed into a wasteland and then into a real sea.
'...!'
Kang-jun's heart jumped the moment he saw it.
It was magic but not ordinary magic.
This was magic that moved dimensions.
It had an amazing harmony that changed the dimensional space!
Kang-jun tried to follow the old man using his knowledge of magic.
He used his understanding of transcendental magic as well as his 315 points in the intelligence stat.
The ability to see the essence of magic had been added after he became a chaos being, so it wasn't difficult for Kang-jun to follow the old man's magic.
Swaahh! Swaahh!
Kwa kwa kwa kwa! Kukukung.
it was a series of processes that transformed constantly and recreated dimensions, rather than attacking or defending something.
However, Kang-jun felt like it could exert tremendous havoc in battle.
[After gaining enlightenment through the Chaos Knowledge Script, you have gained a lot of experience and your level will rise by 12.]
His level

rose again. It rose by 12 to reach Lv357.
Kang-jun felt his power increase but something was missing.
'This is also incomplete. That magic is nothing more than an illusion that the old man dreamt of.'
Although his battle power increased continuously, Kang-jun couldn't help feeling disappointed.
Rather, he felt a wall.
There was a wall in front of him, so he felt like the three knowledge scripts were simply a prank.
In the end, Shadowless' technique, the female warrior's spearmans.h.i.+p and the old man's magic were just illusions they'd had during their lives.
They weren't abilities that existed but the dreams they grasped for.
So, they could only be called illusions. He had to piece through these illusions to overcome the absolute wall.
It was an absolute barrier that had to be broken through!
"...!"
Kang-jun suddenly closed his eyes.
He had thought they were simply illusions.
However, the three illusions merged strangely in his imagination.
The dimensional sword of Shadowless, the woman's dimensional spear and the old man's dimensional magic...
They pursued an area that couldn't be regarded as a mere dimension.
He had to surpass what they had been pursuing. Instead of getting stuck at the dimension level, he had to seek more.
'A bigger dimension.'
He had to go beyond the small worlds and even the dimensional sea that included Pavalia Station!
In Kang-jun's imagination, images of a myriad of dimensions appeared like illusions and started to orbit around each other. It was like watching a myriad of galaxies revolving around the universe.
Kang-jun's eyes turned blurry like he was dreaming.
He closed his eyes.
It was no longer an illusion.
At least, that was the case in Hwanmong;
An absolute wall didn't exist.
[Your level limit has risen to Lv500.]
At that moment, a message appeared. His limit had risen from Lv400 to Lv500.
However, he had only just peeked at the road. The next stage definitely existed and there was a possibility he might reach it someday.
Meanwhile, the illusions of Shadowless, the female and the old man disappeared.
He floated alone in Pavalia Station, not the space of nothingness.
After a while, he went into the sealed Hwanmong world.
There were eight separate spaces.
One was the forest where Luminael was. This place could be described as the prison for good behaviour.
The remaining seven prisoners were all in solitary spaces. All of them were receiving the Punishment of Time.
[Demonic God Tonnach - 100 years punishment complete.]
[Demonic God Hatunia - 100 years punishment complete.]
[Celestial Goddess Shaoniel - 100 years punishment complete.]
······
[Celestial God Tarub - 100 years punishment complete.]
By the time Kang-jun arrived, all of the Punishments of Time were over.
They had spent 100 years in those solitary spaces.
'I don't know if their mindsets have been reset yet.'
Kang-jun erased all the solitary areas and called them to Luminael's forest.
Everybody looked different.
The two demonic Gods seemed sluggish while Shaoniel kept twisting around like she was seeing ghosts.
The celestial Gods, including Lius, were a wreck of their former selves.
The demonic Gods cursed as soon as they saw Kang-jun,
"Oduduk! Do you think you will be safe like this? I will make you suffer a thousand times more."
"Kill! I will kill you! Kukakaka!"
It wasn't just the demonic Gods. Lius and the other heavenly Gods also cursed him.
"Kukuk! Do you think I will give in to you?"
"An insignificant human thinks he is superior just because he has the power of Hwanmong."
"Kuahahaha! Sooner or later, the chief Gods will come. Then it will be your end."
Luminael had also cursed him at first. However, his expression soon turned apologetic attitude at the thought of facing punishment again.
However, the demonic Gods and celestial Gods weren't like him.
It seemed like 100 years of punishment wasn't good enough.
However, there was an exception.
While all the others looked vengeful, only Shaoniel was quiet after seeing Kang-jun.
She couldn't look him in the eye.
What was she thinking?
He wanted to find out.
Kang-jun glanced into her eyes.
When she looke at Kang-jun, anger poured out of her eyes...
Resentment and anger!
However, it was only temporary as her eyes soon turned gloomy. They were full of despair and sorrow.
She was different from the others.
Even so, all of their attitudes weren't what Kang-jun wanted.
Kang-jun stared at them and said coldly,
"Uh, I don't see any signs of proper reflection. Then it can't be helped. I can only give more punishment."
"...!"
All of them flinched.
The demonic Gods, who had been screaming about tearing Kang-jun to death, shut their mouths abruptly and the demonic God, Tonnach, exclaimed,
"W-wait a minute! Please let me go. If you release me, I won't go near you again. I promise."
The demonic God Hatunia also exclaimed hurriedly,
"I will also stop if you release me. I will never near you or Pavalia Station."
The demonic Gods seemed to be afraid of the Punishment of Time.
Kang-jun stared at them and said,
"What are you talking about? You still don't understand."
They said those words, but their eyes didn't show any signs of truth. Besides, he didn't like their tone.
Thus, Kang-jun waved his hands and said,
"I'll see you in 100 years."
"Kuaaah! N-no! Oduduk! You will see soon! I will kill you!"
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Killlll!"
The calls of the two demonic Gods echoed as they disappeared. They had been moved to their punishment spaces again.
Then the bodies of the celestial Gods, including Lius, trembled.
They became nervous after seeing that the demonic Gods were punished for another 100 years.
"I'm sorry."
"I didn't understand what I was doing when I cursed at you."
"I've reflected fully, so can you please stop the Punishment of Time?"
Lius and the others tried to smile as much as possible. However, their eyes were still full of hostility.
However, their words and expressions were better than the demonic Gods.
Kang-jun stared at them and said.
"You still don't understand the situation. Don't forget that you are not Gods but just prisoners here."
The faces of Lius and the others distorted at the word 'prisoner.' Celestial Gods being treated as prisoners? It was impossible.
However, they endured it with patience. They felt bad but didn't show it in their expressions.
At that time, Kang-jun spoke,
"Keep in mind that if you truly reflect over the next 100 years, you will be able to stay there."
Kang-jun pointed toward Luminael. Lius and the others stiffened as they heard his words.
"W-wait a minute! Another hundred years?"
"This b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I won't forgive you."
"The wrath of the chief Gods will fall upon you!"
They immediately tried to grab at Kang-jun, but they disappeared quickly without a trace.
They had been moved to their punishment spaces once again.
Finally, Kang-jun looked at Shaoniel.
She also felt uneasy.
However, she bowed her head and didn't say anything.
She didn't ask to be let off from the Punishment of Time because she didn't want to sound like the demonic Gods.
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
Shaoniel finally looked up at Kang-jun.
Her eyes were full of despair and sadness, but she didn't grovel.
"I know that you will punish me no matter what you say."
She was sure that she would receive another Punishment of Time.
Kang-jun smiled coldly.
"You understand. I gave you a warning, but you didn't listen. At that time, you never imagined that you would be so helpless."
She was the one who had ignored Kang-jun's offer of good faith.
Thus, Kang-jun was more angry at Shaoniel than anyone else.
Then Shaoniel sighed.
"Go ahead. I didn't do anything good and will receive the punishment."
Kang-jun was puzzled. He was curious about the meaning of Shaoniel's last words.
It was obvious that she was regretting something.
In a sense, wasn't that reflection?
"What did you do that wasn't good?"
Shaoniel hesitated before replying to Kang-jun's question,
"Once I became human, I became aware of the human heart. Lucan, I understand why you're so angry with me."
This was similar to how it had been with Luminael. Shaoniel had the same thoughts he did.
However, Kang-jun's expression was still hard.
"You have now realized a small portion of your mistakes. If you had shown such an attitude from the beginning, then my relations.h.i.+p with the Celestial World wouldn't be so harsh."
Shaoniel nodded without any strength.
"I admit that your words are correct. If the Celestial had recognized Hwanmong, this wouldn't have happened."
"I was wondering about that. Why do they disapprove of Hwanmong?"
Shaoniel smiled faintly and replied,
"It is a new world that violates the existing order. How can the Celestial World welcome a new world that it can't control?"
"It is so irritating that they can't control the world? We lived quietly without damaging the Celestial World. Rather, I was helping the Celestial World by fighting the demonic Gods."
"Even if you didn't do any damage, it is unbearable for something outside the control of the Celestial World to exist. However, it isn't just about the Celestial World trying to destroy Hwanmong."
"What is the other reason?"
"They feared that you would misuse the power of Hwanmong to disturb the higher order. In particular, a very serious situation could arise if you became one with the demonic Gods.
Kang-jun smiled coldly.
"That is a lame excuse. I've tried to reach out to you many times."
"There aren't many in the Celestial World who think you can withstand the direct temptation of Karosio, the Goddess of Destruction."
"They're sure that I can't withstand Karosio's temptation."
Shaoniel nodded like she took it for granted.
"I think so as well and that still hasn't change anything. But after becoming human, I've learned a little bit about the one-sided attitude of the Celestial World. In particular, the pain of precious people being taken away. I'm sorry about that."
Kang-jun could see the sorrow in her eyes and was silent for a moment before asking,
"Do you really think so?"
Shaoniel nodded.
"Hwanmong is a new system that has arisen in the dimensional system, but we rejected the new power and committed sins instead. It is obviously the Celestial World's mistake. I truly mean it although the other celestial Gods may disagree."
Kang-jun just smiled. It would have been good if it had been like this before.
"Now, we are finally talking. Shaoniel! If you truly think this way, I can return you to the Celestial World. Are you confident about convincing the other celestial Gods?"
"You will free me?"
Shaoniel's eyes widened at the expected words. Kang-jun

nodded.
"In exchange, return my household members and friends immediately and the Celestial World will no longer interfere with Hwanmong. Then I will seal Karosio and the other demonic Gods. They are my enemies anyway."
Shaoniel was silent for a while, then she shook her head.
"There is no point."
"What does that mean?"
"Unfortunately, anything I do won't make a difference."
"It is impossible even with your strength?"
"On the contrary, I will be directed by the chief Gods to go against you again. So, if you are releasing me for that purpose, it is better not to. It doesn't matter if you let me go without any conditions."
The angel Luminael and the celestial Goddess Shaoniel...
They were too honest. It would have been wiser for them to not say anything and be released.
Therefore, Kang-jun liked both Shaoniel and Luminael. At least, they didn't lie.
"Then I can't release you. Instead, it seems like you've reflected, so I won't give you the Punishment of Time. You can stay there from now on."
Kang-jun made another hut near Luminael's.
"That is nice to hear."
Shaoniel's complexion brightened. She was a Goddess of the Celestial World, but right now, she couldn't even make a hut for herself.
She was grateful to Kang-jun for making the hut.
She couldn't be killed due to having the power of immortality, but her physical state was that of a human's, so she was tired.
If there was a hut, then she could rest there from time to time.
Besides, she didn't have to be alone now.
There was also the advanced angel, Luminael.
Luminael also seemed glad about the situation. He spoke through his tears,
"Ah, has Shaoniel suffered a lot?"
"Luminael, there is no point in speaking like that here. Haven't you also suffered?"
He sobbed,"I'm fine. However, my heart is tearing up from seeing the honourable Shaoniel get locked up."
"Don't worry. I will endure it."
Shaoniel then turned and looked at Kang-jun.
"Lucan, if you allow me to, I will send a letter to the Celestial World. It might be useless, but it is better than doing nothing."
"Letter?"
"This situation will be more effective than if I'm released."
Kang-jun must have one celestial God as a prisoner for the Celestial World to consider negotiations
"Then try it."
It couldn't hurt to try. Kang-jun nodded easily, thinking it would be better if the situation was somehow resolved peacefully.
Then Shaoniel's eyes shone as she spoke,
"Then can you release my power for a while?"
"That won't be hard."
Kang-jun waved his hand and moved Shaoniel to another space.
It was also a sealed space.
However, the difference was that Shaoniel could use all her powers as a celestial Goddess.
However, no harm could be done to Kang-jun. After all, she was in Kang-jun's home.
Seuk seuk.
Shaoniel immediately used her power to write on a scroll.
The contents of the scroll were the same as what she had said to Kang-jun.
'Release Hayun and the others. Additionally, the Celestial World should no longer interfere with Kang-jun and Hwanmong.'
She wrote in the scroll carefully and handed it to Kang-jun.
"Just throw it anywhere once you're outside and it will be passed on to the Celestial World."
So, it was a scroll for the Celestial World. Kang-jun just smiled.
"If this turns out well, I won't forget your merits, Shaoniel."
Then Shaoniel gave a bittersweet laugh.
"I also hope it goes well, so that I can get out of here."
"Do you want to go out?"
"Of course."
Her expression showed that she really wanted to be released. She was hoping that Kang-jun would feel sorry for her and release her.
However, Kang-jun didn't give her what she wanted.
"Everything depends on how the Celestial World responds. If they are hostile, then you will never leave here."
"I'm prepared for that."
"Instead, I'll let you live more comfortably since you cooperated with me."
Kang-jun changed the rough forest into a large, more stylish space.
There was a clear lake with all types of beautiful flowers blooming.
The shabby hut was turned into a decent mansion.
Shaoniel was impressed when she saw it.
She hadn't moved yet, but she could tell through her divine powers that Kang-jun had changed the forest.
Sudenly, Shaoniel looked at Kang-jun, who then said,
"It seems like you have something else to say."
"Frankly, I was especially vigilant because I thought you would fall prey to Karosio. I'm afraid my thoughts still haven't changed."
Kang-jun had a cynical smile on his face.
"Why do you think that? Is my willpower so weak? I won't budge under the temptation of a demonic God."
"It isn't a matter of willpower."
Shaoniel suddenly burst into tears.
'Why is she crying all of a sudden?'
As Kang-jun made an absurd expression, Shaoniel wiped her tears with her fingers and approached Kang-jun, then she placed the tears on Kang-jun's eyes.
"What are you doing?
"I want to prevent the worst situation."
Shaoniel just smiled.
"If you are lucky, you will see the truth when the Goddess of Destruction tempts you. I don't know if this will be a big help."
"Is that so? If it does help, I won't forget it."
Kang-jun then pushed with his hands and Shaoniel faded away.
She was back in the forest area with Luminael.
After watching Shaoniel walk into the mansion with a sad expression, Kang-jun exited the sealed world.
Chuuuot.
After exiting, he immediately threw out the scroll Shaoniel had written on.
It turned into a sparkling bird and warped away.
Did it go to the Celestial World?
'I hope they make the wise choice.'
It was an area in which Kang-jun could do nothing but wait.
[The door to Hwanmong is closed.]
Before he knew it, it was time to return to reality. The surrounding space started to distort.
"You woke up."
Kang-jun heard a familiar voice as he opened his eyes.
A woman was smiling brightly at him from her seat next to the bed.
She was Hayun. Kang-jun was startled.
"Are you back?"
"Yes."
Hayun smiled and jumped into Kang-jun's arms.
Hayun's lips b.u.mped naturally against his. Her tongue slipped into Kang-jun's mouth and his hands touched her chest gently.
She immediately climbed on top of Kang-jun and started kissing him fiercely.
The stimulation was enough to make him lose his mind.
Kang-jun touched her soft body eagerly.
Kang-jun's body had an extremely excited reaction.
He had no thoughts about leaving her.
Was it possible that Hayun had been returned as soon as he sent a letter to the Celestial World?
In reality, meetings took a long time, but it might be different for the Celestial World.
They might have agreed with Shaoniel's will and released Kang-jun's household members and friends.
So, it wasn't strange that Hayun appeared on his bed. He was glad to see her.
Hayun had been summoned forcibly by the Celestial World.
If she was a human, she would be dead.
His deceased lover was back again.
Any normal guy in this situation would hold her, rather than try and calm down.
Moreover, his lover was so eager for physical contact after her return.
Meanwhile, Hayun's mouth moved down slowly until it reached the most excited part of Kang-jun's body.
So, regardless of the situation, it wasn't easy to overcome his desire...
Even if there was something fishy.
However, Kang-jun pushed Hayun away gently.
It was clearly Hayun. Her bright eyes, flushed cheeks and even her breathing against Kang-jun's body felt the same.
However, Kang-jun perceived intuitively that the present Hayun was an illusion, rather than the real thing.
That wasn't all.
The bed here wasn't real either.
It looked like his bedroom in the Delta building, but this was also an illusion.
Who could make an illusion that would trick a chaos being and guardian of Hwanmong so perfectly?
The more surprising thing was that Kang-jun couldn't feel any chaos power in his body.
He couldn't use his abilities at all, like something had sealed them.
Was this a nightmare?
However, that wasn't it either.
He couldn't use chaos power, but his gut instincts still remained.
This whole situation was created by someone pretending to be Hayun in order to seduce him.
It was a virtual space...
A gap in the moment when he left Hwanmong to return to reality.
An advanced mental attack was used at that time.
Just as Kang-jun couldn't use his abilities, the powers of his seducer were restricted as well.
So, only seduction was possible.
However, Kang-jun would lose everything the moment he gave into the seduction.
He would immediately become a slave of the seducer.
He had to endure this murderous temptation.
Who the h.e.l.l set up such a treacherous trap?
"Who are you?"
He had already guessed it, but still, he asked.
At this moment, Kang-jun was extremely nervous.
If Hayun was who he expected it to be, then this was the worst situation.
Hayun huffed angrily.
Then her appearance changed.
Everything from her head to her toes was designed to stimulate a man's desire.
She had the beauty of Goddess Shaoniel and a fatal charm.
He didn't know what to do.
Despite what he knew, it was a destructive bewitchment!
She was Karosio, the Goddess of Destruction.
Previously, he had only seen half of her, but he now saw her whole body.
Kang-jun's heart sank the moment he saw such extreme beauty.
"It has been a while."
Karosio smiled sweetly.
Her behaviour was natural, as though Kang-jun had been her lover for a long time.
There was no evil atmosphere coming from her.
Moreover, she didn't panic once her identity was noticed. Rather, she smiled like she was pleased.
"You may have guessed it already, but we can't attack each other here. So. just enjoy the moment."
"Stop talking nonsense and get out now."
Kang-jun shouted while looking at her.
However, despite his words, his right hand had grasped at her b.r.e.a.s.t.s unknowingly.
'T-this is crazy!'
Kang-jun panicked. His body wasn't responding to his will at all.
Regardless of what he tried, his body refused to listen to his mind.
His willpower was beyond that of a transcendent as well as a chaos being.
Yet, right now, he couldn't control his body.
'What am I doing? My hands, get off her chest!'
Kang-jun ordered.
However, the hand that grabbed Karosio's breast started fondling he activelyr.
At that moment, she approached and licked Kang-jun's ear.
His whole body shuddered.
His spirit was beyond the physical pleasure.
The moment her tongue poked his ear, Kang-jun's willpower crumbled.
"I came to seduce you. I will make you my slave."
Karosio whispered. She was saying it openly now. She had even said that she would make him her slave.
If he was sane, he would stop this situation.
Yet his

mental state wasn't so bad that he wouldn't refuse.
"Shut up! Do you think I will be tempted by you?"
Kang-jun shouted. However, unlike his words, he pulled Karosio over and captured her moist lips.
Karosio responded to the kiss for a while before pulled away and smiling enchantingly.
"Now, why don't you use the power of Hwanmong against the Celestial World? You can change Earth as well as the other worlds."
"Stop talking nonsense."
"With the power of Hwanmong, you can get rid of all offensive things in the dimensional system and recreate it. Can you do that for me?"
"I won't ever do such a thing."
Despite this, Kang-jun's hands were indulging in her body. Her smooth voice over the rhythmical movements of both hands was enough to make him go crazy.
'No! This can't be. Regain your spirit.'
His spirit was already gone. This wasn't cause by the inability of the mind but by the fact that he couldn't control his body at all.
Kang-jun was literally out of his mind.
His willpower didn't work.
Moreover, his movements with Karosio continued.
Kang-jun finally understood Shadowless.
Despite being a chaos being, he had ended up as Karosio's slave!
He had truly doubted it at the time.
Karosio was so attractive that it had made Kang-jun nervous, but he never thought he would fall for the temptation.
Kang-jun was confident that he could win against it.
However, all that confidence had disappeared now.
A temptation that stimulated the subconscious instincts!
It wasn't any trick or magic.
Karosio had such a fatal attractiveness that she took control of the subconscious instincts and secured the flesh.
Therefore, no man could resist no matter how strong-willed.
'Frankly, I was especially vigilant because I thought you would fall prey to Karosio. I'm afraid my thoughts still haven't changed.'
'Is my willpower so weak?'
'It isn't a matter of willpower.'
The conversation with Shaoniel suddenly popped into his head. As a celestial Goddess, she knew how terrible Karosio's ability was.
That reminded him that Shaoniel had given Kang-jun her tears.
'If you are lucky, you will see the truth when the Goddess of Destruction tempts you.'
'The truth!'
He didn't know what the truth was, but he could escape his temptation if he saw it.
However, why did he still not see the truth?
He was confident that he wouldn't fall behind anyone when it came to luck.
However, unlike Kang-jun's thoughts, his body was now pressed roughly against Karosio's.
The foreplay was over.
The only thing left was to take Karosio.
Kang-jun know he would become her slave but his body couldn't stop moving.
At that moment...
It was like a dream, a vision that Kang-jun's eyes could see.
All of a sudden, Karosio's body turned into a shadow.
Although it looked like a shadow, it was actually the embodiment of one that existed in the dimensional system.
It was the energy of destruction.
The eerie aura that he had felled in the Hall of Destruction!
It was the energy of death that destroyed everything.
The shadow that Kang-jun could see was the condensed energy of destruction.
It gave Kang-jun the eerie feeling of holding a black hole.
'Is this the truth?'
The truth was that Karosio was the Goddess of Destruction.
He was just showed what destruction was...
That's what Shaoniel's tears were capable of.
However, at this moment, Kang-jun found something more important than the truth.
He felt the unprecedented power of destruction.
In the meantime, destruction power had been a part of chaos power.
Now, it turned out that power was just a sh.e.l.l and not the real destructive power.
The power of destruction was no less than chaos power.
No, it surpassed chaos power.
'This is?'
Kang-jun's heart started beating wildly.
He had recently peeked into a new world thanks to the Chaos Knowledge Scripts.
The vague universe he peeked at became slightly clearer after seeing the energy of destruction.
'Then does this mean it's related to the energy of destruction?'
Everybody was afraid and reluctant.
However, this was the most powerful aura!
Kang-jun focused more on it.
However, the moment was too short.
It was literally an illusion.
Then the uncontrollable instinct that dominated his body disappeared.
His physical body also cooled.
Naturally, Kang-jun pushed Karosio away and escaped from the bed.
Karosio sent him a startled glance.
"Shaoniel gave you her tears?"
"That's right."
Kang-jun nodded and Karosio made an upset expression like she had never imagined it.
"Bah! How far are you going to interfere with me, Shaoniel? I will take care of you."
There was anger in her eyes. She sent Kang-jun a challenging look and said,
"Today is your lucky day, Lucan. But you won't always be so lucky. You can never beat me."
Then Karosio's body vanished like it was just an illusion.
At the same time, Kang-jun's bedroom space appeared.
"...!"
When he woke up in his bedroom, he was lying alone in bed and Hayun's seat was empty.
That's right, this was the real reality.
It was reality, not the virtual space created by Karosio.
Of course, Hayun wouldn't be here.
Kang-jun got out of bed with a sigh.
'That was an unexpected surprise.'
It had been possible to create a virtual space in the gap between reality and Hwanmong.
Furthermore, with such an enormous temptation!
The demonic God called the Goddess of Destruction...
'No matter how strong you are, your mind will collapse in an instant.'
These had been the last words Shadowless said to him.
However, Kang-jun had remained alert.
His mental state was very good, but he hadn't been able to do anything against the terrible power of the Goddess of Destruction.
Luckily, thanks to Shaoniel's tears, he had been able to escape from the crisis.
The probability was high that Karosio's temptation wouldn't end with just this one time.
Could he endure it if the temptation came again and again?
Even then, the tears of truth needed to be activated in order for him to bear the temptation.
There was a chance that the power of the tears of truth wouldn't trigger at all.
He needed to be lucky. Regardless of how good Kang-jun's luck was, he couldn't expect such a thing every time.
'Measures are necessary.'
Otherwise, he would become Karosio's slave.
'Should I have something to eat?'
Kang-jun went out to the living room.
There was no one there.
Despite all the fancy furniture, the house seemed empty without Hayun.
"Lord!"
Then the door opened and Han Yeon-soo entered with a large smile.
"You woke up, Lord."
"What are you doing so early in the morning?"
Kang-jun cried out in amazement and Han Yeon-soo lifted the bags held in both hands.
"As you can see, these are cooking ingredients. Hayun wouldn't like Lord eating from the space.
The bags were filled with a large variety of ingredients such as vegetables and meat.
Kang-jun laughed.
"Thank you. You should also eat something."
After consuming a lot of power to fend off Karosio in the virtual space, Kang-jun was starving.
Originally, he had planned to take out Hayun's bean sprouts soup. However, Han Yeon-soo had prepared ingredients, so he couldn't do that.
Others might fear the dark dragon, Cordin, but she was kind and gentle to Kang-jun.
Kiradak was now defending Earth, so the amount of work she had to do had decreased.
"By the way, I left Kim Hye-na in charge of the buildings that Hayun were managing."
After Han Yeon-soo joined his household, she had taken the position as Kang-jun's secretary while Kim Hye-na, the original secretary, had been dismissed.
Kim Hye-na's abilities weren't bad, so Han Yeon-soo hired her as a member of the Black Dragon Law Firm.
"Well done. You don't need to bother reporting things like this."
"Yes, Lord."
Kang-jun was comfortable since he knew she could handle it.
After a while, Kang-jun finished the meal with Han Yeon-soo and moved to Kiradak's wars.h.i.+p.
In the meantime, there had been no special invaders aiming for Earth.
After encouraging Kiradak, he headed to Valles Planet that was millions of light years away.
He also looked at all the planets formerly colonized by Kiradak.
Nothing special happened, so he was only exposed to a light breeze.
Of course, his head was constantly trying to think of ways to overcome Karosio's temptation.
He thought that something would inspire him if he walked around, rather than sitting in a corner.
However, he couldn't come up with any specific countermeasures.
He tried to study the flow of destruction through meditation, but there weren't many results.
He returned to Earth in frustration, then went fis.h.i.+ng on the beaches of the South Pacific and watched the satellites...o...b..ting Earth.
Of course, those were just his outward actions as his head was still deep in meditation.
'The virtual space itself is a problem because there is no room for chaotic intervention, so we can't use all our abilities. In the end, I just need to hope that the tears of truth are effective.'
His willpower didn't work against the Goddess of Destruction.
So, this mental battle was hundreds of times tougher than fighting with a sword.
Just like that, three days passed instantly.
It was finally time to go to Hwanmong.
However, it was clear that the Goddess of Destruction would strike.
There was no guarantee that this was true, but Kang-jun prepared his mind.
As Kang-jun closed his eyes, the space surrounding him disappeared.
"...!"
When he opened his eyes, loud club music was playing.
'What is this?'
This wasn't Hwanmong.
There was loud music, strong lights and beautiful women dancing. The women were equally enchanting.
However, among them, there was one woman so enchanting that he couldn't keep his eyes off her.
She was Karosio.
Under the sparkling lights and music, her fatal attractiveness shone even more.
'd.a.m.n! She is acting again so soon.'
However, despite his grumbling, Kang-jun's eyes were fixed on Karosio.
The dancers around her weren't fascinating, yet her hand gestures, expressions and gaze seemed to captivate Kang-jun.
Should he just call it quits and live as Karosio's

slave?
It was a terrifying temptation that took over his will.
In the meantime, Karosio was moving closer to Kang-jun. She was wearing a provocative attire and was almost half-naked. It was more stimulating than complete nudity.
"Today, I will make you mine."
"Shut up."
Kang-jun tried to step back. However, it was just a thought as his body was kissing her without realizing it.
He had gotten excited after watching Karosio dance.
It had been more provocative than any stimulating foreplay.
Karosio was also in a heightened state of excitement.
Thanks to the failure last time, Karosio was in a hurry today.
However, Kang-jun's body was more aggressive than hers.
He pushed her against the wall of the club and started to take her clothes off roughly, not caring who was watching.
'I am such a b.a.s.t.a.r.d.'
As Kang-jun became outraged, it was like he was watching himself from somewhere else.
If this continued, it would be the end.
His body had become a slave to l.u.s.t and he couldn't control it.
This was despite him being the guardian of Hwanmong and having chaos power.
He felt disgusted with himself.
Then after some time...
Kang-jun felt something and closed his eyes.
The eyes of truth weren't triggered. Unfortunately, he didn't have that luck today.
However, Kang-jun ignored what his body was doing and focused on a single illusion.
He was observing the illusion of the energy of destruction.
Rather than an illusion, it was more just in his imagination.
The aura of destruction that made everything dark...
An infinite power that destroyed everything!
That was destruction.
What if he could control the energy of destruction completely?
In addition to going beyond the confusion of chaos, he wouldn't need to fear the Goddess of Destruction anymore.
However, Kang-jun didn't focus on the energy of destruction.
He looked at its essence amidst the destruction.
He had been dwelling on it constantly over the past few days, so was he seeing the benefits now?
In a crisis situation where his body had been turned into a slave, his mind had found a new breakthrough.
'As it turns out, the essence of destruction being a new power is just a trick.'
It was more complete and powerful than chaos power, but it wasn't so great.
Kang-jun started to see what the people in the Chaos Knowledge Scripts desired so badly.
Hwanmong!
That was it.
It was a power he already knew.
A mysterious power that had been created by the Hwanmong system!
The true source of Kang-jun's power!
It wasn't an abstract existence but a true power. It wasn't something that could be handled like dimensional power or chaos power.
However, Kang-jun was assured that he could grab it.
Hwanmong power!
If he could understand and use Hwanmong, he would be an absolute existence...
An invincible existence in Hwanmong that no one could resist!
However, it was just up to there.
Unfortunately, Kang-jun couldn't penetrate the wall.
He stopped just short of fully understanding the nature of destruction.
However, that alone caused a tremendous increase in combat power.
[You have understood the nature of destruction.]
[The enlightenment has give you a lot of experience and increased you level to 400.]
Despite not feeling the level rise in the virtual space here, it would be felt when he moved to reality or Hwanmong.
This was a place where only mental power existed.
Still, Kang-jun was tempted by Karosio in this virtual space.
At that moment, Kang-jun was just on the verge of joining with Karosio.
'Hoho, the situation is over now.'
There was a smile of satisfaction on Karosio's face as she gazed at Kang-jun.
'You are now my slave, Lucan.'
She had finally succeeded in luring him.
Her mind was inspired by the thought of making a slave from someone with the power of Hwanmong, one of the most mysterious powers in the dimensional system.
However, at that moment, Kang-jun's eyes lit up.
The black energy of destruction was in his eyes and Karosio's complexion changed suddenly.
'T-this!'
She felt a sudden change in Kang-jun.
It was clear that the energy of destruction was currently coming from his eyes.
No, strictly speaking, this was a place where the energy couldn't exist. It was a place where only spirit could exist.
However, the meaning of his eyes were clear.
Kang-jun was able to change the very nature of destruction.
It was a power that belonged to the fundamental realm of destruction that even she couldn't access.
Therefore, her attempts to seduce Kang-jun using the deadly charm of destruction wouldn't succeed anymore.
It was natural since his energy of destruction was stronger than hers.
On the contrary, she was being tempted by Kang-jun.
The energy coming from Kang-jun's eyes was tempting her.
'Hah! This ridiculous...'
Karos...o...b..t her lips to try and endure the temptation.
Joining with Kang-jun here wasn't something she could afford to let happen.
She would immediately be sealed and defeated by Kang-jun. Then she would virtually be a slave.
It would be the worst situation.
"W-who are you? This is just ridiculous."
Karosio trembled, then disappeared soon after meeting Kang-jun's eyes.
'Escape.'
At the moment, Kang-jun also knew what had happened.
If the situation was reversed and he took her, it would be possible to place her in the sealed world forever.
It was regrettable that she escaped. It had been a chance to seal the Goddess of Destruction, the incarnation of evil.
However, now, she could no longer create a virtual space for Kang-jun.
If she did, she was giving Kang-jun a chance to enslave her.
Karosio wasn't stupid enough to do such a thing.
[The door to Hwanmong is open.]
The virtual space scattered and Kang-jun entered Hwanmong.
However, there was a group of demonic Gods waiting for him.
