Chapter 432: Star, Taurus (7)

“You know?! Do you even know what you’ve done?!” Bel-Marduk yelled, his face reddening. The carefree look he had always worn like a mask was now gone.

Ziiinnnng!

Perhaps it was because Bel-Marduk was furious, but his sword shook as he pushed back [Gungnir].

“I don’t know,” Chang-Sun answered.

“What...?”

“I said I don’t know.” Chang-Sun’s cold smile deepened. “Should I?”

Finally succumbing to his anger, Bel-Marduk growled, “You son of a bi—!”

[The Celestial ‘Abyss-Chasing Great Devil’ shakes his head and says that their levels of eloquence are certainly far apart despite being the same beings.]

“That! Nereid Stone! Is ■■■ ■■ for ■■!”

Most of what Bel-Marduk said was censored, but Chang-Sun easily understood him. To Bel-Marduk, the Nereid Stone was more than just a raw ingredient to extract [Gaia’s Curse]. Chang-Sun wasn’t sure what Bel-Marduk’s exact story was, but he saw no reason to care.

Chang-Sun scoffed. “You should have taken better care of it, then.”

“■■■ ■■ ■■ ■■■■■ ■■! ■■■! ■■ ■■■......!”

With everything now censored, Chang-Sun could no longer even get an idea of what Bel-Marduk was trying to say.

[Your Subordinate ‘Wandering Shadow’ has been successfully summoned back.]

[Your Subordinate ‘Goddess of Massacre and Destruction’ has been successfully summoned back.]

......

[All your Subordinates have been successfully summoned back to the Changgwi Cave!]

Paying Bel-Marduk no attention, Chang-Sun focused on the plan. He brought all his subordinates back to the Changgwi Cave, leaving only Bel-Marduk’s subordinates suffering from spreading [Gaia’s Curse].

Arrrgh! Arrrghhh!”

“S-save me!”

“My <Myths>... My divine power... They’re being evaporated!”

“I can’t gather my Faith! Please save me! I don’t want to die like this—keough!”

[The Subordinate ‘Enemy-Loathed Gate’ grasps her head and begs her life as her Myths disintegrate!]

[The Subordinate ‘Intruder-Loathed Gate’ is overwhelmed by the pain of his heart breaking!]

[The Subordinate ‘Soldier-Protecting Gate’ screams in agony as his soul is being torn apart!]

...

Exposed to [Gaia’s Curse], Urash, Zababa, and Adad—Bel-Marduk’s most treasured gate protectors—found themselves helpless against it. [Gaia’s Curse] could not be detoxified or resisted. Hence, all they could do was scream and watch themselves rotting and disintegrating. Bel-Marduk’s soldiers, despite being capable of killing most Celestials with ease, still found themselves in hell.

[The Authority ‘Execution Sword’ has been deactivated!]

[The Divine Ground ‘Twilight-Setting Battlefield’ has been closed.]

Pzz, pzzz―!

Chang-Sun removed the barrier of his divine ground, allowing the wormhole in the sky to quickly expand. He then pushed Bel-Marduk back as hard as possible and sprang toward the wormhole.

Paah―!

Already half out of his mind, Bel-Marduk shouted, “Where ■■ ■■■!”

‘Babylonia’ was in ruins, and all his subordinates were about to get slaughtered. To solve his problems, he would have to capture Chang-Sun and retrieve the Nereid Stone first.

No, even if not for those reasons, he still couldn’t let Chang-Sun go through the wormhole now that he knew it was connected to the Star Palace. If [Gaia’s Curse] spread to <Horoscope>’s central divine ground and reached the other Star Signs, everything they were fighting for would be destroyed!

Chasing after Chang-Sun, who turned into a ray of light as he flew up to the wormhole, Bel-Marduk turned into a golden ray of light as well. Approaching the wormhole, which was tinged with dark green now that [Gaia’s Curse] was traveling through it, was suicide.

“The place is already fill■■ with ■■■■ ■■! Do you seriously th■■■ you’ll be ■■!”

[The Celestial ‘Taurus’ has been infected with ‘Gaia’s Curse.’]

[The vocal cord of the Celestial ‘Taurus’ has been ruined, preventing him from speaking properly.]

[Current condition: Poisoned.]

Chang-Sun watched as Bel-Marduk inhaled and was poisoned by [Gaia’s Curse], much like what happened to his subordinates. Although Bel-Marduk’s condition wasn’t as severe as theirs, he still couldn’t do anything about his destabilizing Divine Class and disintegrating <Myths>.

The law of causality, which Bel-Marduk disregarded, overrode him and censored his hysterical cursing, but Chang-Sun had no problem understanding what he was saying.

―This place is already filled with [Gaia’s Curse]! Do you seriously think you’ll be safe from it?!

Chang-Sun chuckled. He had naturally already considered that before executing the plan.

Ding!

Ding!

[The Effect of the Trait ‘Thousand Toxin Immunity’ has located and is now fighting off ‘Gaia’s Curse’ in your immune system.]

[The toxin’s severity is preventing antibody creation.]

[You have entered the Poisoned state!]

...

Poison began to mark Chang-Sun’s skin with spots.

[The Effects of the Trait ‘Triple Samahdi Fire’ have been applied, igniting a flame to burn up the toxin!]

[The Effects of the Trait ‘Divine Lightning Body’ have been applied, strengthening your stamina and the flame of the Trait ‘Triple Samahdi Fire’!]

[The Effects of the Trait ‘King of All Weapons’ have been applied, increasing the efficiency of your antibody creation!]

...

[Your Traits’ Effects have synergized, strengthening your immune system.]

[You have successfully resisted the toxin.]

[Antibodies have been created.]

...

[Congratulations! Your Trait ‘Thousand Toxin Immunity’ has been upgraded to the Trait ‘Impervious Body’!]

[Impervious Body]

The Trait that the Celestial ‘Divine Twilight’ has completed with the help of the Celestial ‘Jingwang King.’ Those with this Trait gain immunity against most existing toxins and curses, quickly build up antibodies for any new toxins, and occasionally produce the toxins they acquire.

“True freedom is being free from all the curses in the world.”

· Type: Trait.

· Effects: Poison Immunity. Curse Immunity. All Toxin Creation. Antibody Creation.

Paah!

Chang-Sun finally reached the end of the path that the Jingwang King, whom he called the First Elder, showed him. Having lost his Divine Class due to [Gaia’s Curse] before, he had prepared very thoroughly for this moment. [Impervious Body] naturally couldn’t keep him completely safe from [Gaia’s Curse], but it wasn’t his only countermeasure against it.

“We discovered many interesting things from Antares’ interrogation. Jingwang worked quite hard,” Thanatos told Chang-Sun.

The information that Thanatos had obtained from Antares the ‘Scorpio’ had helped Chang-Sun prepare for [Gaia’s Curse] in every possible way.

[The <Store Window> has been opened!]

[The current amount of your coins...]

...

[You have purchased a ‘Heavenly Nectarine’!]

[You have purchased a ‘Hydra’s Heart’!]

[You have purchased a ‘Heavily Diluted Nectar’!]

...

Every time [Gaia’s Curse] destabilized his [Impervious Body], Chang-Sun drank elixirs in the order that Antares had taught him.

[Your immune system has been strengthened, making it easier to resist the toxin!]

[The number of antibodies fighting the curse has increased!]

...

‘If only I could have undone Ye-Eun’s curse like this,’ Chang-Sun bitterly thought as he passed through the wormhole.

[You have entered the ‘Star Palace,’ the central divine ground of the Society <Horoscope>!]

Aahhhhhhh!”

“Save—!”

“I-it hurt—keouuugh!”

The place had already turned into hell, its situation as bad as—no, maybe even worse than what was going on below. Every Star Sign in the area was either lying on the floor or scratching the walls in pain, their colors fading. It was quite a gruesome sight. From what Chang-Sun could sense, the Zodiacs didn’t seem to be in good shape either.

However, the <Horoscope> Star Signs weren’t the only ones here. <Maleakhe> seraphim and <L’Infernal> demon kings had also fallen victim to [Gaia’s Curse].

[Seeing you has made the Celestial ‘Sky-Resemble’ furious!]

“I... knew it...! Gabriel... said you will ruin the world... and she was... right!” Michael exclaimed with difficulty as he panted in the sky. He had covered himself with his wings, which had turned black.

[The Celestial ‘Malignity-Drinking Saturn’ exudes his deep enmity toward you!]

『Twilight!!!!』

Satan quickly glided down and unleashed a powerful [Dragon Breath]. Among his seven heads, the one that Chang-Sun blew up using Duskfall before seemed especially furious.

“I didn’t expect this many people to welcome me,” Chang-Sun murmured.

Bel-Marduk was below him, and Michael and Satan were up in the sky. It certainly was not an everyday occasion for two of the Nine Heavens to have a common enemy, but Chang-Sun wasn’t worried.

[The old Celestial ‘Cane-Holding Father of Warriors’ has appeared!]

“It’s quite noisy in here,” Odin nonchalantly complained. His [Gnostic Eye] gleamed coldly. “Get lost.”

Thud...!

With a very simple [Wordwielding] command, he catapulted Satan and Bel-Marduk away with an invisible force before they could even approach Chang-Sun. Satan, still in his colossal form, crashed into a nearby skyscraper before he hit the ground, and Bel-Marduk was pushed back even further away, leaving two long furrows.

“Odin!” Michael exclaimed as he looked down.

Unbefitting his personality, he lost his composure due to the strong pressure Odin pressed down on him—no, on all of <Maleakhe> and <Heaven>.

<Maleakhe> and <L’Infernal> used to be active <Societies> but had to lock themselves down. They proclaimed themselves enforcers who maintained the Great Universe’s balance and made sure no one would succeed in becoming the new Celestial King of Worldline #801. Nevertheless, legends about Celestial Kings and the tendency to worship them remained strong in <Heaven>. It even created the Nine Heavens, a group of unbelievably powerful beings. Odin was the reason behind all of those.

Michael gnashed his teeth. He could still remember the accomplishments Odin made when he was still just a child. Despite facing thousands of seraphim, Demonic Celestial Odin massacred them all with one gesture. He didn’t even show a hint of nervousness.

‘Odin should be stuck in the endless cycle of samsara. How can he be here?!’

“It’s been a while since I had a picnic outside.” Smiling coldly, Odin Odin looked at Michael, Satan, and the other seraphim and demon kings. “For some reason, I see a lot of familiar kids.”

Running into his enemies—the same people who killed his teacher Bestla and made <Asgard> fall—after being away for eternity made him quite happy.

[The Divine Class of the old Celestial ‘Cane-Holding Father of Warriors’ envelops the Divine Ground ‘Star Palace’!]

Now under Odin’s dignity, which was by no means weaker than that of his prime, everyone held their breath. Even those who were suffering from [Gaia’s Curse] couldn’t make a sound.

After a moment, someone’s footstep finally broke the silence.

Tap!

“You sure took your sweet time after asking me to do this kind of miscellaneous work,” Odin grumbled when Chang-Sun lightly landed beside him. The most update n0vels are published on ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

“Things happened.”

Tiamat couldn’t help chuckling after seeing Chang-Sun and Odin together.

『So... there are two of my dearest now. I’m not sure if this Great Universe would be safe with two Twilights in it,』Tiamat said and then chuckled when she saw Chang-Sun and Odin together. Following the plan she had made with Chang-Sun, she had made her army withdraw before [Gaia’s Curse] could spread.

[The Celestial ‘Abyss-Chasing Great Devil’ sighs and nods in agreement.]
