Chapter 155: A New Perspective (2)

“Kuaaah! N-no! Oduduk! You will see soon! I will kill you!”

"You bastard! 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 bastard! 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 relationship 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 .
