Chapter 314: 314

Along with the message, the swirling of the portal quickly subsided . The party members waiting were confused . Jung Heewon was the one who raised the question first . ” . . . Entry was refused? What is this?”

I once again called out the destination .

[Olympus is currently refusing all visitors . ]

[The Olympus scenario will open after seven days . ]

After seven days? At this point, something flashed in my mind .

[A small nebula is quite ambitious, actually thinking about going to Olympus . ]

The true voice came from a constellation sitting at the fountain next to the portal . Based on his calm but violent pressure, he was a warrior who had struggled for a long time before becoming a constellation . His body was bigger than Lee Hyunsung and there was a long spear on his back . . . wait, a spear?

[Hrmm, your impressions are familiar . . . where did you come from?]

I replied on behalf of the party members . “Earth . “

[Hoh, I’m from there . It’s a pleasure . Where on Earth? It it on the continent side?]

“The Korean Peninsula . “

“Neighbourhood friends! There seem to be some decent ones there . ]

I became more convinced after hearing the constellation’s easy laugh . A large one-handed spear resembling the head of a snake . . .

The man rose from the fountain with a grunt and walked away . Han Sooyoung came to be side and said, “Hey, that constellation? The battle of Changban?”

“That’s right . “

A great-grade constellation who was one of China’s greatest warriors along with Guan Yu and Xiang Yu . He was arguably the tiger official of the battle of Changban, Zhang Fei .

Lee Jihye was surprised by the overheard whisper and asked, “Really? Is he that Zhang Fei guy?”

I nodded . The expressions of the party members were spectacular . They didn’t show this much reaction when they met Surya . . .

I could see the status of the Three Kingdoms in South Korea . Even Lee Hyunsung was flustered as he hurriedly took out a soldier’s handbook . “Excuse me Dokja-ssi . I’m a big fan of the Three Kingdoms . Can I get his autograph . . . “

“You will often experience this in the future . Many of the historical figures we know have become constellations . “

I looked around the square with the party members . The previously quiet square was already crowded with constellations and incarnations .

[Recruiting participants for the 53rd scenario!]

[Looking for an incarnation to be a tanker to obtain the story . ]

Crude true voices were heard from all over the place . It was possible to build up full-fledged stories after the 47th scenario . Therefore, great-grade constellations would often organize small parties to target the scenario . Jung Heewon spoke like she couldn’t believe these beings had sponsored us so far .

“All of a sudden, the dignity of the constellations has fallen off . “

“In fact, most of them are low-grade . They haven’t fallen . It is just that our status has risen . “

“We’ll have to break those scenarios after saving Sangah-ssi?”

“As Bihyung said, we don’t have to clear them all . “

I stared at the flashing scenario billboard in the sky .

-We invite you to battle against the giant gods in Gigantomachia of Olympus .

Among the scenarios after the 47th scenario, there were many large scenarios created by the direct intervention of the nebulae or bureau . One of the representatives of this was Gigantomachia, which was regularly run by Olympus .

Some of the constellations saw the advertisement and mumbled, “Is it real this time? Will the ancient giants be released from Tartarus?”

“Hey, you said that a dozen years ago but they didn’t . “

“This time is different? The atmosphere is very suspicious . There is talk of internal conflict in Olympus . “

“Are they pretending to be fighting?”

I listened to the conversation and saw the ensuing commercial . It was a video showing Olympus having a brilliant battle with the giants . A trident split apart the sea, the ranks of the giants were crushed and the soldiers commanded by the ‘Atrocious God of War’ rushed towards the bodies of the giants . The ‘Spokesman of Justice and Wisdom’ cut the neck of a giant and the Goddess of Love and Beauty made finger hearts . The end of the advertisement was Dionysus raising his glass in celebration of the war .

-The best scenario in the Star Stream will start after a week!

-Three of the scenario participants will be selected to receive a ‘limited edition’ weapon made by the Volcanic Blacksmith .

-Scenario admission: 100,000 coins .

Lee Gilyoung watched the advertisement to the end and asked me, “Dokja hyung, I have to pay an admission fee to clear that scenario?”

“Yes . “

“A scam!”

“Well, it’s a business . Olympus gets income from the Star Stream by providing scenarios . The dokkaebis advertise it and redistribute the income . “

Jung Heewon laughed in a dumbfounded way at my words . “It is a hustle . So desperate . . . “

“We will make them desperate . “

Jung Heewon made a stiff expression and nodded . “What will we do now? Should we wait a week? Won’t the Olympus scenario start in a week?”

I shook my head . The remaining time was three months . It was important not to waste any time .

“Gigantomachia is a giant story scenario and we need to be thoroughly prepared to challenge it . For now, Yoo Sangah’s situation is urgent and we should find another way . “

The flow of consciousness was rare but other incarnations had suffered from it . If it wasn’t Olympus then it was likely that a nebula of a similar level would know how to treat Yoo Sangah .

I pondered carefully before making various plans . There were two major things to be gained here .

“We will split up the party here . Han Sooyoung, take the others to the auction . Maybe Yoo Jonghyuk will be there too . The party member’s equipment should be changed . Buy some clothes for the kids . “

“What if I don’t have enough money?”

“Here are some coins . “

Han Sooyoung quickly stretched out her finger . I touched Han Sooyoung’s index finger and exchanged coins . Han Sooyoung’s eyes bugged out when she saw the number of coins .

“You know, you are really rich . “

“Use it sparingly . I didn’t give you a lot . “

“Hey kids, let’s make Kim Dokja’s Company go bankrupt!”

Shin Yoosung and Lee Gilyoung shouted with excitement and followed Han Sooyoung . I spoke to Lee Jihye and Lee Hyunsung . “Go with them . There are many star relics available at the constellations’ auction site . “

“T-Then we’ll follow!”

“Thank you Ahjussi!

Lee Jihye and Lee Hyunsung ran like the wind and chased after Han Sooyoung . I grabbed Jung Heewon’s shoulder as she was about to follow .

“Heewon-ssi, remain here . There is a place you should come with me . “

***

After a while, I took Jung Heewon to a department store . It was one of the branches of the Dokkaebi Mart in the Context of the Constellations city .

The moment we entered, a large dokkaebi blocked our way . [I’m sorry but only platinum members can enter . ]

Perhaps it was due to our shabby appearance but there was slight contempt in the dokkaebi’s eyes . Rather than arguing, I opened the Dokkaebi Bag to confirm my rating .

[A diamond member?]

The flustered dokkaebi compared my modifier to the list of customers and his eyes widened .

[I-I’m really sorry! Is this your first visit to the store? Hey, call the manager and staff members! If there is any inconvenience in your shopping―]

“There is no need . Don’t call them because it is a hassle . ”

I refused and passed the dokkaebi . Jung Heewon spoke in a thrilled manner . “Dokja-ssi is like a third-generation chaebol . ” (TL note: Large family-owned business conglomerates)

“I am the company’s boss . “

“By the way, what is this department store?”

I quickly scanned Jung Heewon . She wore an old uniform and had the Sword of Judgment hanging from her waist . The clothes had been stained with blood thanks to countless battles over the past three years and the sword was much sharper and redder than before .

“How can a company that makes fun of an employee’s welfare succeed?”

“Well, I deserve that . “

We stood in front of a display stand in a corner of the store . They were masterpieces of the Mass Production Maker’s first generation products .

I observed the products with cautious eyes and took out two neat suits . It was an SSS-grade armour with a practicality that wasn’t bad for the 47th scenario . However, Jung Heewon was confused . “Why do you want to dress up all of a sudden?”

“We have to go somewhere pretty formal . “

We each changed into the suit . The suit became the right size the moment we wore it .

Jung Heewon wore the suit and looked like a presidential bodyguard . By the way, I didn’t know what type of person Jung Heewon was before the destruction . Character List didn’t give such information and she was barely in the original Ways of Survival .

“What was Heewon-ssi’s previous job? Can I ask?”

“Well, the last thing I did was a bartender . It was just a part-time job . If it is a job . . . then a regular person who switches between part-time jobs?” Jung Heewon shrugged while scratching her head . “I used to exercise . “

“Exercise?”

“I did kendo in middle and high school . I quit competing due to injuries . What about Dokja-ssi?”

“I was a contract employee with a gaming company . I was destined to soon be fired . “

We were silent for a moment . The man and women stood in front of a mirror dressed in suits . I could see some constellation’s incarnation bodies glancing at us as they passed . The Jung Heewon in the mirror asked, “Dokja-ssi, are you happier now then you were before?”

“If you’re saying that the story is better now, it is true . “

It was an honest answer and Jung Heewon laughed . “It is the same for me . “

We paid in coins and went upstairs using the escalator . Jung Heewon asked curiously, “Dokja-ssi, where are we going? This is the roof . “

“It is a portal . “

The roof door opened and a panoramic view of the interstellar city could be seen . Jung Heewon gave a short exclamation of admiration but there was no time to admire it .

I took Jung Heewon to the railing of the roof . “Do you trust me?”

It was a short exchange . I jumped from the rooftop while holding Jung Heewon’s hand . Despite falling down, Jung Heewon maintained her mind . By the time we were halfway to the ground, I glared at the air .

[The constellation ‘Demon King of Salvation’ is looking at the hidden portal . ]

[The portal requires a password . ]

“Everything that falls down has wings . “

A portal appeared in the air and swallowed our bodies .

[The nebula has allowed your entry . ]

I felt my feet touching the ground . The wind that gave off a seemingly primal breath grazed the tip of my nose . It was a clear wind I had never encountered before . An idyllic meadow stretched out endlessly and a white castle was built beyond it .

Jung Heewon was making a stupid expression . “Dokja-ssi, don’t tell me this place . . . “

“Correct . “

This was the nebula of the mighty archangels . It was cumbersome to enter this way but it minimized the time required for entry . I looked up at the air and muttered, “They probably figured it out by now . . . “

Then a cold alarm sounded in my head .

[ . . . Demon king?]

It was an incredibly cruel voice for an archangel . It wasn’t the voice I had been waiting for . It seemed that an unwelcome visitor had appeared .

[Your boldness has grown . How did a demon king come here?]

The power of the narrative-grade constellation caused the body to shrink back . Even the brave Jung Heewon had a pale complexion .

[The constellation ‘Demon King of Salvation’ is opening his ‘status . ‘]

This allowed Jung Heewon to take a breath . I was about to look for the owner of the voice but a hand seemed appeared in front of me and grabbed my chin .

[Demon King of Salvation?]

Only my chin was grabbed but it felt like power was slipping away from my body . The status was too enormous for me to withstand .

[How does a demon king have the modifier of salvation? There has only been one owner of that modifier in the past 1,500 years . ]

I barely managed to turn my head and saw a blonde-haired man staring at me . They were slightly shining purple eyes . I instantly realized the identity of this constellation .

[The constellation ‘Saviour of Corruption’ is looking at you with crazy eyes . ]

There was only one existence in Eden with the modifier of both ‘good and evil’ and he was the strongest of all the archangels in Eden .

. . . Dammit, it was the worst opponent . I couldn’t believe he was in Eden right now . The purple eyes of the man curved like a crescent moon .

[I don’t know what you are but I don’t like sharing my modifier . Then you need to die . ]

The moment that the man’s hand holding my chin glowed with a purple light . . .

[■■ . Take off your hands, Michael . Unless you really want to go to hell . ]

It was the voice of the archangel I had been waiting for .
