Chapter 278: Star, the Revival Plan (3)
Paaah―!
‘What in the world...!’ Director Gwon Hyo-Hae panted hard, but he couldn’t afford to catch his breath due to the shock that jumbled up his thoughts.
Until a moment ago, he was wiping out the Gray Elves with ease, but everything turned into a mess when Chang-Sun suddenly showed up. Who could have thought that he would eliminate all three elders from the Council of Elders in one strike and exterminate the entire Sword Demon Platoon on his own?
The White Tiger Clan members in this place had been exterminated. That word was often vaguely used to describe high casualties or few survivors scattering as a form of a strategic retreat. However, that wasn’t the case right now. The White Tiger Clan got annihilated. The Ghost Soldiers that Director Gwon had brought, the Gildals... All of their secret forces had been killed.
That was why Director Gwon ran in the opposite direction before Chang-Sun’s [Dragon Breath] struck him. The thought of saving his face and honor never crossed his mind, which was currently filled with the desire to survive no matter what. The reason he became a demonic being in the first place was to survive in the world of Players, the main principle of which was the law of the jungle. However...
[An unidentified group has appeared!]
While running, Director Gwon saw a flash of light before him, and a group of about a hundred people appeared. They weren’t Lee Chang-Sun’s mysterious summons, but was there anyone else who was likely to show up here? Director Gwon considered the possibility of them being affiliated with the Jaynix Company, but he had never met any of them before.
‘Whoever they may be... I’ll get them out of my way!’ Director Gwon stopped trying to identify them.
He decided to kill anyone who stood in his way right now. To get as far away from Chang-Sun as possible, Director Gwon didn’t have any time to make complicated judgments.
Schwing―!
Paah!
However, before he could draw his sword, something suddenly flickered in front of him again.
Smack!
Director Gwon dropped to the ground with a hole in his forehead.
‘... A Gray Elf?’ was his last thought. As his train of thought stopped, Kali appeared where he had been running.
“Hmm! It seems something happened while we were away. Now that it has turned out this way, we should save and subjugate them.”
Lie Si and the Ninth Corps—the —showed up on Earth.
* * *
Woosh, woosh, woosh...!
The Parasitic Tree—the tree that served as the Gray Elves’ temporary Divine Tree—let out clouds of dust when it collapsed. Nain and the other Gray Elves were half out of their minds.
Chang-Sun watched them for a moment, then quietly hung [Tiamat’s Snaggletooth] on his belt, furtively turning his head to avoid eye contact with them.
[The Celestial ‘World-Encircling Serpent’ quietly chuckles, saying you are also great at feigning innocence.]Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
[The Celestial ‘Twilight-Piercing Owl’ quietly looks away from you.]
[The Celestial ‘War-Loving Fighting Deity’ laughs heartily, finding this really wild!]
[The Celestial ‘Sky and Earth’s Connecting Wing’ advises you to collect the Parasitic Tree fragments since they are versatile materials.]
...
[The Celestial ‘Abyss-Chasing Great Devil’ becomes lost in thought because your personality reminds him of someone.]
The Celestials watching Chang-Sun through their Channelings were shouting with joy. Although they all made him feel uncomfortable, one particular Celestial made his head ache.
[The Celestial ‘Madness Infuser’ is yelling in delight!]
[The Celestial ‘Madness Infuser’ is yelling in delight!]
[The Celestial ‘Madness Infuser’ is yelling in delight!]
...
‘... What is up with him?’ Chang-Sun wondered.
‘Madness Infuser’ Bacchus, one of the Numen, was popular for his love of madness, euphoria, and alcohol. He and Chang-Sun shared nothing in common, but if Chang-Sun had to think of one, it would be that he was on good terms with Bacchus’ siblings—Minerva, Mars, and Mercury. For some reason, he had a feeling that Bacchus was also not normal.
‘Well, they’re Jupiter’s children, so except for Minerva, it may be more strange for them to be normal.’
[The Celestial ‘Madness Infuser’ is yelling in delight!]
...
Bacchus was practically spamming Chang-Sun, so he pushed Bacchus’ messages out of his sight.
“... We cannot use this place as our hideout anymore, so this might be for the better,” Nain quietly mumbled after sorting out his thoughts. He walked toward the Parasitic Divine Tree.
Amid the chaos, Chang-Sun stayed calm even though Kali, who was supposed to be at Durga with Baek Gyeo-Ul, appeared and started attacking him. After deflecting Kali’s knife-hand strike with his Nameless Spear, Chang-Sun thrust the spear to push Kali away.
Whirl!
Kali concluded that she couldn’t defeat Chang-Sun in terms of physical strength, so she somersaulted high in the air, quietly landing on the ground. Meanwhile, Nain and the Gray Elves trembled because her artistic movement, techniques, martial arts skills... everything about her was exactly the same.
“Ah...!”
“Our goddess is truly...!”
The Gray Elves exclaimed in awe.
[The Celestial ‘World-Encircling Serpent’ widens his eyes due to the sudden turn of the event!]
[The Celestial ‘Twilight-Piercing Owl’ is confused because she is unsure of what is happening!]
Looking at the Gray Elves, Kali solemnly reproached them, “I, Kali, your siblings’ master and mother, am right here, so how can you choose to follow someone else? I cared and nurtured you with all my heart until my death!”
“Th-that’s—!”
“Ninth Branch. You’re one of the first I created. As my ninth child, you should understand me best. How could you have such a treacherous idea?” Kali asked.
Nain couldn’t bring himself to answer the question. Although he was just following Kali’s last wish to become Chang-Sun’s Subordinate, he still declared that he was changing Guardians while she was right in front of them.
Nain basically betrayed Kali, an act that should never be done within a sect or a religious order. Since it was the same for the other Gray Elves, they bewilderedly looked back and forth between Nain, Kali, and Chang-Sun.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Behind Kali, other Gray Elves landed. Nain knew them quite well. After all, he was supposed to meet them tonight, and they were still his siblings even though they were with the .
“What are you all doing?! Our Guardian has returned, so why aren’t you all paying your respects?”
Having confirmed that the real Kali was standing before them, Nain and the others hurriedly tried to bow. There was no knowing why Kali joined the when she resurrected, but it was their duty as her priests to follow her regardless of her reasons.
However, Nain and the Branches couldn’t bow. An invisible power held them back.
“You don’t have to do that. The one over there is an impostor,” Chang-Sun said.
Navy blue fires lit up in Chang-Sun’s eyes, looking at the Celestials behind Kali and the Gray Elves.
[The ‘Star Counter’ looks at you...]
[The ‘Evil Spirit Executioner’ looks at you...]
[The ‘Mysterious Man Wrapped in Silk-Wrapping Cloth’...]
...
[The Celestial ‘Silk and Jewelry-Wrapped General’ crumples up his face as he looks at you.]
A list of members of the Ninth Corps popped up before Chang-Sun, finding Lie Si, a very familiar Divine Name, at the bottom of it. Lie Si was the divine general of the that Chang-Sun ran into in , and he was glaring at Chang-Sun right now.
“Who are you to say I’m a fake—!” Kali glared at Chang-Sun in anger.
“There are two reasons for my claim,” Chang-Sun interrupted as he smirked. “The first is that you don’t recognize me.”
“... What?”
“And the second reason...” Chang-Sun paused. He exuded another energy.
[Living Tree, your dormant Divinity, is awakening!]
Paah...!
At that moment, Nain and the other Gray Elves saw an image that wasn’t really an illusion. Living Tree was the Attribute of Kali’s Divinity, so they felt as if the real Kali showed up behind Chang-Sun. She had a World Tree around her, and she had her eyes closed.
“The real Kali is with me right now,” Chang-Sun continued.
“...!”
“...!”
“...!”
[The power of the old Celestial ‘Goddess of Massacre and Destruction’ is awakening!]
The image of the real Kali opened her eyes.
