Chapter 309: Artifact Tears 1

[Pandora’s New York HQ was attacked at 9pm on the 21st . ]

[The area with the most damage was the Pandora Executive Office but surprisingly nothing around it was damaged at all . ]

[It is amazing that there were no damages to the nearby buildings in such a congested area . ]

[It’s definitely unbelievable that only the Pandora building was destroyed . This was not a person’s doing . ]

[As a result of this incident, Pandora’s Executive Board Supreme Leader James Rothschild……]

The news was quite loud this morning .

People clicked their tongues after seeing Pandora’s building that had been scorched .

“My goodness, what happened here……?!”

“I heard that the Pandora Director was stabbed by a Divine-Grade Spear?”

“Really? Is he still alive?!”

People were most shocked at the fact that Pandora’s Director was attacked by a Divine-Grade artifact .

Rothschild was as skilled an artifact user as the Monarchs .

He had gone into a tomb alone and come back alive and had not received any injuries from being attacked by artifacts in the past .

But what?

“He was stabbed by a Divine-Grade artifact…?!”

“My goodness! Who did it?”

“Wasn’t it Seo Ju-Heon?”

“What? Seo Ju-Heon?! He went and even attacked the Pandora Director now?”

“No, I heard that he tried to kill Seo Ju-Heon and got hurt instead . ”

“What? He got hurt instead?!”

“I guess Pandora’s Executive Board wasn’t much . ”

“Isn’t he just receiving Divine Punishment?”

The eagle was grinding its teeth while hearing these conversations .

He couldn’t believe what these trashy human bastards were saying .

‘Lowly bastards . ’

The eagle went to see Prometheus .

[Supreme Leader-nim, how is your condi……!]

There wasn’t even a need to ask .

“Do you even need to ask that question?”

Prometheus, who was currently recovering in the Rothschild residence, was in a terrible condition .

His pale face and lips were proof he was not doing too well .

The most serious injury was the area around his chest .

His chest had a giant hole after being pierced by Gungnir and the area around it was rotting . The affected area was as hard as rocks and it was spreading to his shoulders and stomach .

Any affected area was dyed black and slowly crumbling .

It even looked as if he had turned to stone .

The eagle gulped after looking at Prometheus’s condition .

‘He’s really going to die if this continues . ’

It was extremely serious .

He had been hit by Gungnir after all .

[Sir, that was too much for an experi…]

“Shut up . ”

Prometheus’s eyes flashed with anger .

He had worked so hard to stick Odin’s artifact in prison while bringing Gungnir out and training it, but then… .

‘It’s all that damn Crow’s fault . ’

It was all because the Crow chose a bastard like Seo Ju-Heon . The Crow used to be one of the regular Heirlooms .

Of course, it had been the most competent of the Heirlooms . It was the artifact chosen to select the king .

That was why Prometheus had been happy when the Crow had consumed the major gods .

But what?

That bastard chose to betray them all and started on a path of consuming all artifacts . It had even threatened them .

‘We shouldn’t have trusted it from the beginning . ’

They killed its human master and imprisoned it in response .

But it chose a human master again……!

‘Why the hell does it keep taking the humans’ side over and over?’

That Crow bastard was quite the problem . Other artifacts either submitted to him or to the Spider Supreme Leader .

‘Should I ask the Pandora System artifact for help?’

He shook his head . The risks were too high to do that .

‘No . It’s still okay . There’s still the Tomb of Gluttony . ’

The Tomb of Gluttony was one that the Supreme Leader personally administered .

Forget opening the prison, Seo Ju-Heon should not be able to survive the Tomb of Gluttony .

Prometheus stopped grinding his teeth and asked .

“What’s the status of the restorer?”

[……T, that…]

A restorer was the only one who could heal Prometheus right now .

Of course, he just needed to use the official restorers . The official restorers were created by Prometheus to restore artifacts as needed .

Why?

Whether they were consumable artifacts or possession-type artifacts,restorers were necessary for all of them .

He created these official restorers so that he could use them whenever he needed, but……

‘Some shitty motherfucker had to do something we didn’t tell him to do . ’

That bastard Hitler was the problem . He had killed all of their official restorers .

‘Well, whatever . There are bound to be some crazies among the humans . ’

Prometheus held himself back from shouting in anger .

“I remember telling you to fill those spots . ”

The eagle warily looked at Prometheus .

[We are recruiting but it is difficult to find talented individuals……]

“Then what about the other Monarchs’ personal restorers?!”

[I’m not sure whether those humans can heal someone at your level, Supreme Leader-nim……]

An SS-Grade restorer, aka highest-grade restorer was necessary to restore an artifact at Prometheus’s level .

But there was only one such restorer in the entire world and he worked for Ju-Heon .

That was probably the reason .

[………Umm, maybe we should request the Monarch of Pushoverness’s help……]

“Are you fucking crazy?!”

He would not do that even if he died . Ju-Heon was the reason he ended up like this in the first place .

And putting aside the issue of pride……

“Like hell Seo Ju-Heon’s subordinate would be willing to restore me!”

[Actually, sir!]

The eagle’s eyes flashed .

[He…might be willing if you offered him a babe?]

“……Are you being serious?”

The eagle truly believed it would work .

“Ah, why aren’t they coming? Where are they?”

Inside their LA residence…

Jaeha was staring at his phone before they left to return to New York . Seol-A, who was next to him, was confused .

“Did you get a girl’s number while you were in LA? Whose call are you waiting for?”

“Who else? The Pandora Director . ”

“Oh, I was wonderi…… what?! Did you say Pandora Director? Why?!”

“Why else? That guy’s in terrible condition right now . We heard that he’s an artifact . Isn’t it obvious they would need a restorer to heal an artifact?”

Seol-A’s eyes opened wide in anger .

“Are you thinking about restoring that Prometheus or whatever his name is?!”

“Are you crazy? I’m just trying to rip him off!”

The former Monarch of Fraud was chuckling .

“This is a job for our tomb raiding team’s businessman . ”

‘Businessman my ass . ’

After ripping Chairman Kwon off for two nights and three days using a Heirloom as bait, he seemed to want to rip Prometheus off this time .

He had all sorts of magazines with him about restaurants, game rooms, hot springs, clothes stores, and travel destinations .

The scammer continued to laugh .

“These kinds of clients are the easiest to rip off! Like hell I’d restore him!”

Ilya sneered at him .

“Who knows? You’ll probably restore him if he offered you a sexy babe . ”

“Huh? Hey . I’m not a retard . Do you really think I would sink so low for a wom…”

“What if that babe is at Seol-A’s level?”

Jaeha flinched and rolled his eyes .

“……I, I would d, definitely think about it…?”

“And if she’s at Irene’s level?”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Fuck…thank you very much God almight……ugh!”

Seol-A pummeled Jaeha to the ground .

“Hey! Do you want to die? Why the hell am I just a ‘think about it’ while Irene was an ‘okay’ right away?! Huh?! What am I lacking in comparison to Irene?!”

“……Boo……ugh!”

Jaeha was stomped on this time .

Ilya, who had asked the question, was chuckling as if he was enjoying this .

Seol-A wasn’t satisfied with just that . She ran over to Ju-Heon to snitch on Jaeha .

“Captain-nim! Please listen to me! Jaeha said that he would restore Prometheus! Apparently he’ll restore it in return for being introduced to a girl!”

“Hey, I didn’t say that! Captain-nim, I never said I……huh?”

The two of them, who were looking for Ju-Heon, couldn’t help but be shocked .

It couldn’t be helped, since……

[#$&*#!]

Sit still . I said, sit still .

Gungnir had turned into a broom . The rope was holding onto Gungnir and making it sweep the floor .

Seol-A dropped her jaw in shock .

“Captain-nim! What are you doing with a Divine-Grade weapon……?!”

Ju-Heon, who was reading a book, nonchalantly responded .

“It had quite the attitude . I’m training it right now . ”

“Excuse me?!”

The rest of the team who came to watch Jaeha cry gasped as well .

‘That crazy bastard made Gungnir look like a broom?’

‘Something like that is possible?’

That was right .

Making an artifact look like a modern item was something humans did to make artifacts submit .

Basically, it was changing them to an appearance that made it easy for the human to deal with . The artifacts actually felt a ton of shame to be forced into different forms like this .

The higher the grade of the artifact, the harder it was to change it to look like a modern item .

It would be even harder if the shape of the modern item had nothing to do with the artifact! But he was able to turn a godly killing weapon into a mere broom?!

“Seo Ju-Heon, you fucking crazy bastard!”

He had then handed the broom to the cleaning devils he had stolen from Mammon’s tomb . He told them to clean with it .

Unfortunately, Gungnir pecked away at all of them, forcing the rope to clean with it instead .

Gungnir complained and tried to escape but Ju-Heon just needed one hand to grab it each time .

That was why it was even more shocking .

“That chaotic aura……!”

He was grabbing such a chaotic aura with his bare hand .

“Even if it is drugged up……!”

Gungnir was weaker than it should have been because Prometheus seemed to have used some drugs to tame it . That was the reason Prometheus was able to use it .

‘He probably used Un-known on it . ’

Thankfully, it also allowed Ju-Heon to use Gungnir pretty easily .

But the others didn’t care .

None of them were even thinking about touching this weapon .

Why?

‘I’m going to be controlled the moment I touch it . I’ll probably have to stay in bed in pain for a month . ’

‘I’d rather give up porn for good before I touch that thing . ’

‘I would rather date men than to touch that thing . ’

They all meant it .

Ju-Heon was able to use it as a broom but this was a chaotic weapon that even Monarchs would be unable to use .

That was the power of a major god’s weapon . Even if it was in a weakened state, it was still the strongest of the Divine-Grade artifacts .

But Ju-Heon was easily handling such an item .

Well, Ju-Heon didn’t think it was that hard .

‘Why can’t you touch it?’

Gungnir, who had suddenly been dragged to this unfamiliar place, was groaning .

It was upset about being abducted but now it had to suffer such indignity as well!

It started to rage in anger .

[#$&*#!]

The angry Gungnir’s chaotic aura exploded out .

Boom!

It was extremely powerful . The rest of the team became extremely wary .

Gungnir continued to rage and returned to its original form .

It was back to being the powerful and sharp spear!

[Warning . The spear of lightning is threatening your life . ]

It then attacked Ju-Heon . To be more specific, it attacked Ju-Heon and his artifacts!

It was going to fulfill its original mission before returning to Prometheus!

Unfortunately for Gungnir…

Pow!

Ju-Heon used the book he was reading to smack Gungnir . It was as if he was swatting a fly!

That wasn’t all .

Slap! Slap! Slap!

[##&$!]

Something shocking happened once he smacked it some more as if he was catching a cockroach on the ground .

[You are using your Dominance to change the appearance of the artifact . ]

Ju-Heon had changed Gungnir’s appearance once again .

This time, it was a plunger used to unclog a toilet . Gungnir was very sad .

But Ju-Heon didn’t care and just clicked his tongue .

“Jaeha and Ilya, go to Chloe and get Chairman Kwon’s body . ”

“Excuse me?!”

“!”

Jaeha gasped for some reason while Julian asked with disgust .

“You’re not going to make Chairman Kwon clean the toilet with Gungnir, are you?”

Ju-Heon just laughed instead of responding .

“Huuuu . ”

Julian was relieved once the boys returned with Chairman Kwon’s body .

Thankfully, it didn’t look as if he would have to see a Dullahan cleaning the toilet .

The way Ju-Heon was inspecting Chairman Kwon’s body must mean that he had a different reason for looking at it .

Jaeha, who had brought Chairman Kwon’s body over, was peeking lower at Chairman Kwon’s body .

Why?

He had seen something shocking when he went to Chloe’s room earlier .

Jaeha had seen Chloe doing a surgery .

Chairman Kwon’s body was flailing while tied down on the operating table and he was covered in a surgical cloth .

There was a small square cut out on the cloth, similar to when doctors performed open heart surgery .

The problem was WHERE she was working on .

‘Hey, what the hell?!’

Why was the cloth on top of Chairman Kwon’s family jewels?!

Chloe had calmly responded to him .

‘The Captain-nim told me to cut it off while I removed all of the parasitic artifacts from his body . ’

He was just checking to see if Chairman Kwon’s manhood was still there .

But he could only peek for a moment as Ju-Heon raised Gungnir into the air .

Julian raised his eyebrow in confusion .

“What are you going to do with that?”

“What else? The same thing you thought about earlier . ”

“What? Then are you……?!”

Jaeha suddenly screamed .

“Ack! We should at least let him die as a man! Kongming, you can’t be like that either!”

Julian shouted back with a look of disgust .

“He’s just trying to pierce through Achilles’s Armor with Gungnir!”

“Huh?”

That was right .

Achilles’s Armor could not be pierced with regular weapons .

It wouldn’t break even if someone attacked the person’s Achilles tendon .

Furthermore, Chairman Kwon had plastered Achilles’s Armor with a ton of buff artifacts .

But a Divine-Grade spear might be able to pierce through it . And if that was possible, Ju-Heon was planning on destroying Achilles’s Armor before restoring it and using it for himself .

“It means that we would have a highest-grade defense-type artifact in our hands!”

“!”

Chairman Kwon’s body must have sensed danger as it started to flail .

“Now then, time to experiment . ”

Ju-Heon struck down with the spear .
