Chapter 173: Showing them Despair (2)

Kang-jun was inwardly baffled by Shaoniel’s words .

Of course, Kang-jun had no intention of treating her like a slave .

Although she could be called a servant due to the chief gods being defeated by Kang-jun, Shaoniel had always helped him .

How could he treat her like that? 

Therefore, he wanted to send the chief gods to the Abyss and make her the ruler of the Celestial World . However, he felt a little bitter when she said she would rather become his slave .

On the other hand, a new greed was sparked in Kang-jun .

She wouldn’t be a celestial goddess but a Hwanmong goddess .

That’s right .

It would be nice if Shaoniel was Kang-jun’s goddess instead of the Celestial World’s .

Among Kang-jun’s people, there were many evil gods but no good ones .

There were spirit rulers and a naga queen but no good goddesses .

He was crawling with demonic gods . There was even a top demonic god .

Therefore, having a heavenly being, who was the incarnation of good, would balance them out .

Moreover, it was the greatest beauty, Shaoniel, so his heart would warm just by looking at her .

There was also something persuasive about Shaoniel’s words .

If the Celestial World made such a mistake again, he could put Shaoniel in their place .

There was no need to rush .

As Kang-jun became silent, Shilenda and Spiros stopped their slaughter .

They waited quietly for Kang-jun to decide and the chief gods were staring at him as well .

They had already realized that resistance was meaningless and knew that the Celestial World’s fate would be decided by Kang-jun’s next words .

It was a miserable situation, but they had to accept reality .

In particular, the northern chief god felt a sense of responsibility .

'I didn’t say anything even though I should have . It is clear that his anger was caused by our actions, which we made despite me knowing that it was wrong to do so . ’ 

Dianas had used the pretext of preventing the division of the Celestial World as the reason for their actions .

However, now that she looked back, she didn’t like that a new world, which was out of the Celestial World’s control, had appeared .

it was true that the demon gods were trying to obtain Hwanmong, but Lucan was the guardian of Hwanmong and he was going against the demonic gods .

Therefore, Dianas broke the silence first and spoke up, 

"I, Dianas, on behalf of the northern area, take responsibility for all this . Please give the Celestial World another chance . We will never interfere with Hwanmong and your work . Moreover, the Celestial World will be glad to cooperate if it is necessary . ” 

The words Kang-jun wanted to hear before entering the Abyss were now coming from Dianas’ mouth .

Kang-jun glanced at her .

"If I had taken action sooner, I could have prevented the Celestial World from becoming like this . I don’t know why I didn’t speak up, but I am now feeling the bitter taste . ” 

Dianas bowed her head humbly and didn’t say anything else . This time, it was Notos of the south who spoke, 

"Lucan, it was me who instigated the idea that you were evil . Now, I know that it comes from my ignorance of you as well as my arrogance . Therefore, I am determined to receive any punishment, but please limit your anger to just me . I’d like to ask for mercy for the others . ” 

Notos had a very self-deprecating expression on his face because he thought the Celestial World had become like this due to him .

Liviana and Ceres also spoke up,

"I will support you if you throw us in the Abyss and appoint Shaoniel as chief . I realize and take responsibility for today’s situation . ” 

“I will as well . So, please release all your wrath onto us and spare the other angels and celestial gods . They are bound to follow our orders . ” 

Kang-jun’s expression relaxed noticeably .

To be honest, Kang-jun didn’t intended to throw them into the Abyss now that the chief gods had come out like this .

This was the difference between the demonic gods and the celestial gods .

The celestial gods could reflect on their own .

They acknowledged their mistakes and were even willing to accept punishment .

On the other hand, the demonic gods simply obeyed out of fear .

So, it was easier to deal with the demonic gods .

The demonic gods were worthy to be his servants .

Kang-jun was silent for a moment .

"I will give you one last chance because of Shaoniel . Of course, there will be some conditions . ” 

Shaoniel’s face regained its colour .

“Ah! Really?" 

The chief gods also had tumultuous expressions on their faces .

They were actually thinking that Kang-jun would throw them into the Abyss . Thus, they had wanted to at least save the angels .

The chief gods hadn’t expected Kang-jun to give them new opportunities .

They couldn’t help but be surprised by the unexpected words that emerged from Kang-jun’s mouth .

"Truly?” 

“Are you really going to give us another chance?” 

Kang-jun nodded .

"As long as you return my household members and Hwanmong to its previous state . Additionally, it should be the same for Earth in reality as well . ” 

"We will do so . " 

Dianas accepted instantly . Not only that, the other three chief gods nodded like they agreed .

Kang-jun had a pleased expression due to their cooperative attitude and continued with his conditions .

"I believe there will be no complaints if Shaoniel becomes the goddess of Hwanmong instead of the Celestial World . ” 

"Of course . " 

"We will respect Shaoniel’s will . ” 

The Celestial World might cause trouble later on, but for now, he felt positive about them .

Kang-jun continued,

"She is the only goddess of Hwanmong . Although she is a goddess, there are no angels or celestial gods to assist her . . . ” 

Dianas nodded before Kang-jun even finished his words .

"We will send four celestial gods, ten advanced angels and 100 general angels to defend Shaoniel, who will permanently be the goddess of Hwanmong . ” 

Kang-jun’s expression brightened .

"I guess that is reasonable . ” 

As a result, four celestial gods, ten advanced angels and 100 angels now belonged to Shaoniel and Kang-jun .

Kang-jun turned toward the portal in the south and pointed to Luminael, an advanced angel who had been looking on with a devastated expression .

"I want him to be one of the advanced angels . ” 

Dianas accepted that like she had already expected it .

"We will do so . " 

Luminael sent Kang-jun a bemused expression .

He never imagined that Kang-jun would take him as an advanced angel of Hwanmong .

In fact, Luminael had been in distress .

He had opened the portal for the destruction of the southern area because of Kang-jun’s efforts .

How could he wash away the sin of selling out the Celestial World due to fearing a great demonic god? 

Thus, he thought he would be punished for today’s work once the Celestial World became stable .

His actions were a sin that would be hard to wash away even if he repented in hell for hundreds of years .

He was only left with despair .

It was with a type of consideration that Kang-jun decided to bring to Hwanmong . Kang-jun knew that Luminael would be punished if he stayed in the Celestial World .

'Anyway, he will be stuck in hell if he stays here . It is better to take him . ’ 

It might be a disservice to the Celestial World, but Luminael had helped Kang-jun . He smiled immediately and said, 

"Luminael, come to Hwanmong and help Shaoniel . That is all you have to do . ”

“As you command . ” 

Luminael was sad about leaving the Celestial World but excited about becoming an advanced angel of Hwanmong .

Then Dianas asked Kang-jun mildly, 

"Do you have any other requirements?” 

“That is enough . Don’t interfere with Hwanmong in the future and I won’t come to the Celestial World . ” 

"How about we do this? If there is a branch of the Celestial World in Hwanmong and a branch of Hwanmong in the Celestial World, there won’t be any misunderstandings because we can communicate with each other . ” 

They had a desire to maintain a friendly relationship between the Celestial World and Hwanmong so that they wouldn’t become enemies again .

"That's a good idea . " 

Kang-jun accepted readily . If there was a need to cooperate with the Celestial World, he could talk to the celestial branch in order to solve it .

Of course, Kang-jun didn’t need to bother with such a hassle since he could just fly to this place and talk to the chief gods .

However, it would be troublesome to come here if there were many things that required the cooperation of the Celestial World .

He would let Keirun and the others take care of it . The celestial branch was necessary to make their work easier .

Kang-jun was considering his people even now .

‘I’m not living in this world alone . ’ 

‘I can live comfortably even if I have nothing, but my people are different . ’ 

Kang-jun would be happy as long as his people were having fun .

Sususu . Susususu .

Once the negotiations were finished, Kang-jun released all the angels and celestial gods in the sealed world .

At the same time, the great demonic gods that they had been so scared of, Spiros and Shilenda, disappeared into the sealed world .

Shaoniel smiled and said, 

"Peace has returned to the Celestial World . It is all thanks to Lord . ” 

She called Kang-jun, ‘Lord’ and Kang-jun nodded .

"Peace has come to the Celestial World due to Shaoniel . You’ve gone through a lot, so just go into my wings and rest . ” 

"Then I will be going . ” 

Shaoniel staggered once she relaxed . She hadn’t recovered completely yet .

So, she headed immediately into Kang-jun’s arms and entered his wings .

It was at that moment . . .

A portal was created in the southern area and a bloody angel exclaimed hurriedly, 

"This is serious! The western area is now being attacked by demonic gods . ” 

“What? The demonic gods?” 

The chief gods, including Dianas, had startled expressions on their faces . Panting, the angel replied, 

"The Goddess of Destruction, Karosio, and her servants . ” 

Dianas replied angrily, 

"She must have attacked knowing that there was another war in the Celestial World . ” 

This time, it was Notos who cried out, 

"We have to focus all our forces on fighting Karosio . We have to go . ” 

The chief gods were tense .

Kang-jun said with a laugh, 

"I will take care of Karosio, so don’t worry . I was going to handle her in the near future, so this is good . " 

He immediately headed to the portal .
