Chapter 242: Star, the Four Overlord Conference (1)
The current was one of the most powerful in , but a long time ago, back when the concept of was still new, the used to be in danger of annihilation. At the time, the Celestials were at war against Asura, their old archenemy. Failing to overcome the gap between their and Asura’s power, they eventually lost the war and plummeted. Out of despair, the Celestials tried to scatter, but the Creator Celestial of gathered them up instead to pour out their anger to the sky.
The Celestials’ wrath turned into a flame, giving birth to the goddess Durga. Despite her beautiful appearance, she was filled with wrath. In her ten hands were numerous relics from many Celestials.
Shiva’s trident, Vishnu’s qi, Agni’s javelin, Vayu’s bow, Varuna’s rope, Indra’s thunder... With those weapons, Durga waged war with Asura alone and chopped off Asura King Mahisha’s head, bringing victory to . After the war, Durga became the notorious gatekeeper and vanguard of in .
Kali was Durga’s only daughter. With her mother’s wrath bequeathed to her, Kali unleashed destruction and massacre, ultimately becoming notoriously known for drinking her enemies’ blood. Whenever she took out a demon, she always drank their blood and celebrated her victory.
However, Kali was also an ascetic that cultivated herself in a remote place when she was not at war. Constant destruction signified dynamic energy, and the sprouts in the ruins symbolized life. Just like how the warm spring came after the cold winter, death and life were not polar opposites of each other. Rather, they belonged to the flow of nature, circulating dynamic energy in it. The same went for destruction and creation.
Kali was the incarnation of such flows and cycles. Despite her fearsome divine name, ‘Goddess of Massacre and Destruction,’ she always dreamed of creating new lives. As a result, the Divine Tree Shindansu was born.
Upon growing older, Kali left and went into seclusion because she hated how was turning political.
* * *
A long time after her seclusion, the ‘Divine Twilight’ met Kali. At the time, people still knew the notorious Durga, but the nasty rumors about Kali had disappeared by then.
Coincidentally hearing a rumor about the great ascetic in Himavat the snow mountain, the ‘Divine Twilight’ paid the are a visit. From the entrance to the ridge, the ascetics that followed Kali lined up. The ‘Divine Twilight’ beat them one after another.
Upon reaching the peak, which was covered with everlasting snow, he finally met Kali. An unfathomably tall and green tree stood where Kali was meditating in the lotus position. None of the scene’s elements matched, but it gave the ‘Divine Twilight’ an idea of who Kali was.
“What do you wish to gain?” Kali asked in their first encounter, but the question seemed random.
Yet, without hesitation, the ‘Divine Twilight’ answered, “Victories.”
“What victories?”
“Absolute ones.”
“What are those victories for?”
“I fight and win. Is there a problem with that?” The ‘Divine Twilight’ tilted his head.
Kali smiled gently as she continued.
“No, there isn’t.”
After the conversation, the ‘Divine Twilight’ sparred with Kali and lost, but that didn’t stop the ‘Divine Twilight.’ They sparred countless more times. After quite a long while, the ‘Divine Twilight’ finally managed to win against her for the first time. It was only by an inch, however, so he wasn’t sure he could call it a victory. It could have just been a coincidence.
Nevertheless, Kali smiled contentedly as she said, “That’s amazing.”
The ‘Divine Twilight’ continued to spar against Kali, turning his victory into a winning streak. The inch became a centimeter, the centimeter turned into a millimeter... The gap between Kali and the ‘Divine Twilight’ widened so much that Kali eventually no longer managed to catch up.
“You’re definitely worthy enough to talk about victories.”
Rather than getting angry for being defeated, Kali was happy. Her reaction was the total opposite of when the ‘Divine Twilight’ lost, so in his eyes, Kali was more mature than he was. For the first time, the ‘Divine Twilight’ realized she was looking far beyond what he couldn’t imagine. Hence, he thought of befriending her.
* * *
While Lee Chang-Sun’s old memory in Arcadia was filled with Gramps and Ithaca, the old memory of the ‘Divine Twilight’ began with his first encounter with Kali, whom Chang-Sun missed.
Now, the Elfin Root looked like her.
[The Celestial ‘Geminus-α’ makes it known how unpleasant he feels right now!]
[The Celestial ‘Geminus-β’ frowns deeply!]
...
[Many Celestials are surprised by your achievements!]
[Unlocked a great achievement!]
“Celestial fragment gatherer.”
“ and are in the same boat, aren’t they? If you help your ally, I’ll make sure to repay the favor.”
『Our marriage can further solidify our alliance.』
“I”m sure an alliance made of trust is more reliable than one that stemmed from deals,” Chang-Sun said calmly.
『You’re really smooth at turning down women. Hahahaha.』
Tiamat’s laughter echoed throughout the cave. It was loud enough to shake his mind palace, which was made from . That alone showed how high her divine class was.
『Fine. I promised to help you, so I’ll see this through.』
“Thank you.” Chang-Sun slightly bowed.
『Stil, keep in mind that my offer is still on the table. You know, the more unreachable one is, the more tempting it is.』
[The Celestial ‘Primordial Evil Dragon’ smiles coquettishly at you!]
“Phew!” Chang-Sun sighed.
Although he had gained a very trustworthy ally, he had a feeling that he had set foot in an inescapable swamp.

On Earth, Republic of Korea, Seoul...
... it was already past 11 P.M., but some employees of the WPCFF’s Korean office in Jongno[ref]A region in Korea./ref] were still working overtime.
‘... I want to cry.’ Jin Seok-Tae turned miserable as he looked at the clock, which cruelly kept rotating.
He attended a blind date set up by his friend a week ago and was supposed to have their next date today. He was so excited that he bought and put on new clothes. Why did the WPCFF have to declare a state of emergency today, five minutes before the end of his shift?
“What do you think about this?” Cha Ye-Eun, his superior, asked.
Seok-Tae naturally couldn’t tell his superior about his story, considering she only worked all day and pursued her career. Even if he were to tell her about it, she would just say, ‘So you want to quit?’
‘She is an Overlord, an Overlord material... No matter how ferocious the Tyrant is, he’ll be nothing compared to my superior,’ Seok-Tae thought.
“Hey.” Ye-Eun glared at Seok-Tae.
Returning to his senses, Seok-Tae began to think as hard as he could. One wrong answer could leave him with a bullet in his brain.
“You aren’t listening to me, are you?” Ye-Eun asked.
“I-I’m listening!” Seok-Tae answered.
“Then tell me.”
“Pardon...?”
“Tell me what you think.” Ye-Eun crossed her arms and legs. The cigarette in her mouth was burning up quickly, seemingly showing how irritated she was.
Smoking indoors was forbidden... but Ye-Eun never really cared about that rule. If the executives reprimanded her about it, she would simply answer with a resignation letter the next day. She was so irreplaceable in the Council that if she left, the Korean office of WPCFF would have to shut down.
“I-I won’t do it again!” Seok-Tae shouted, standing up straight like a soldier.
If he answered slowly right now, he would really get shot.
“Watch it, okay? Phew! I was asking what you think of this.” Ye-Eun sighed quietly and threw her burned-up cigarette into a paper cup, ruining Seok-Tae’s coffee for good.
However, Seok-Tae couldn’t afford to think about it now because the newspaper articles that Ye-Eun pointed to were very important. They turned the whole world upside down.
The Sword Sky Tiger was a first generation Player and the hero who made the White Tiger Clan one of the best Clans in Korea. However, Munseong hadn’t really accomplished anything in the past thirty years, so most people believed that he had retired. On top of that, many experts had evaluated that Munseong wouldn’t be the same skilled swordsman as before.
However, people bore witness to shocking results the moment he held a sword again. Among the ten Overlords, the Blood Overlord was believed to be the third strongest, but Munseong easily defeated him with one attack.
The event made it certain that Munseong had surpassed level 99 and reached level 100, a feat believed to be impossible for humans to accomplish. Taking that into consideration, Munseong now had to be a demigod who had gone through . A tiger having the potential to become a Celestial in Korea was good news.
Still, Ye-Eun’s eyes turned cold. ‘The problem is that Munseong may be a demonic being.’
