The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero
chapter-305-30041322

Around that time, at Lee Gun’s (the Sagittarius temple) holy ground…

“What?! Mom is pregnant?!”

The Chun siblings were shocked at the unexpected news. It was for no other reason.

“W-We’ll have a younger sibling?”

“Really?”

“Yes. I’m three weeks pregnant.”

Their mouths fell open when they saw Chun Jiwoo act shy like a maiden. The siblings were here at Lee Gun’s (the Sagittarius temple) holy ground to nurse Lee Jaewon and also to listen to reports given by disciples from other temples.

Having a new sibling was something that called for a celebration. They were overjoyed. However…

‘I-I never expected it at this age.’

‘I never expected us to have a younger sibling’

The siblings were twenty years old and sixteen years old, respectively. It would have made more sense that they would welcome a niece or nephew in a couple of years rather than a younger sibling.

“A-Anyway, I’m glad you two are getting along real well…”

“Mom is amazing, but I never expected this from Dad. He’s completely different compared to the old Zodiac.”

Sagittarius, who was a tenant in this holy ground, became sad at Chun Sungjae’s words. He had yet to fix that.

Of course, that had nothing to do with their surprise at the pregnancy news of their parents.

‘I guess it isn’t impossible, but…’

Hugo was a Zodiac Saint, and Chun Jiwoo had always been close to him. This was why she received a lot of divine blessings. In terms of appearance and their body age, both looked to be in their thirties.

They had already looked young, but what happened when they became disciples of the Serpent Bearer temple?

‘Their bodies were rejuvenated. They now look to be in their twenties.’

‘I guess it isn’t odd that they were able to conceive.’

Moreover, it wasn’t just a simple rejuvenation.

‘Dad also received a lot of buffs from Uncle.’

Sagittarius’ junior was dead, but their father was in the opposite situation. His vitality had been boosted.

As if to prove this, Chun Jiwoo squealed in happiness. However, that wasn’t important right now.

“Whether it’s a son or a daughter doesn’t matter. The child will become a fanatic of Lee Gun-nim.”

“Yes.”

The Leo disciples, who had come to give a status report to Lee Gun, looked appalled.

Lee Jaewon didn’t pay attention to them as he let out a satisfied smile. Then the Chun siblings ran into a dilemma.

“What will we name it? Did you choose, Mom?”

At Chun Yooha’s question, Chun Jiwoo shook her head in the negative. “I wanted to ask your dad, but I was unable to contact him. It seems he still has unfinished business.”

Chun Sungjae’s eyes flashed. “Ah!! I’ll choose the name! The name of the youngest will be Gun-nim! Awesome-Ultra-Super-Duper-Brighter-Than-The-Sun-Lovely-Gun-Nim!”

The Leo disciples choked.

“S-Serpent Bearer Saint-nim. I don’t think that name is possible…”

“That’s right, Young Master. The baby’s name has to be five syllables without the last name.”

“Hey! Lee Jaewon! That’s not the problem?!”

Lee Jaewon didn’t care as he smiled. He was happy because he felt as if an additional member had been added to his family.

In the end, as if the bizarre names weren’t enough, the Chun siblings started bringing names out of this galaxy.

It made the Leo disciples scream.

“Excuse me, Madam? At this rate, your child will be named something weird!”

“Shouldn’t you stop them?”

“Oh my! Aren’t they great names? We do owe a lot to Lee Gun-nim.”

“Really, Madam?”

“Ho ho ho. I’m joking.”

The Leo disciples shook their heads in dismay.

“I’ll just let the father of the household choose the name…”

“That’s good. At the very least, he’ll make a name unrelated to Lee Gun.”

Lee Jaewon laughed in derision. “What are you saying? The risk is the highest with Hugo-nim.”

“What?”

Lee Jaewon sipped his citrus tea as he thought about the past. A resigned look appeared on his face. When Sungjae was born…

“Son! My son was born!”

“Z-Zodiac Saint-nim?”

“Alright! My son’s name will be Gun!!! Chun Lee Gun!”

“Zodiac Saint-nim?!”

Hugo had been happy when Yooha was born, but he had been especially happy when his second was born.

On the next day after Sungjae was born, Hugo had been drinking in an important meeting, but had dashed to the community service center to submit the birth certificate.

“My son’s name is Lee Gun!!”

Of course, Chun Jiwoo agreed with the decision, so Hugo was overjoyed as he submitted the name.

“What? Lee Gun’s name is blocked by law?!”

“Y…Yes…! There is a chance that the name can be misused, so it is temporarily…”

“What about Chun Gun!!!”

“T…That is a bit…”

“Why not!!!”

“P…Please come back tomorrow! You might regret your decision!”

“I won’t regret it!!”

Thanks to the sensible government employee, Sungjae wasn’t thankfully named Gun.

However, the person in question wailed when he heard the story. “Why? Why did they have to block it? Why? My name!! It was the opportunity that would have let me have the same name as Uncle! Whyyyyyy!!!”

“…”

Chun Sungjae pounded the ground as he wailed.

The Leo disciples decided to drop the subject at that point.

At that moment…

“What the hell? It’s quite noisy here.”

“!!”

A familiar face appeared within the Archer Saint’s holy ground.

“Uncle!”

Everyone was surprised by Lee Gun’s appearance. Lee Gun had entered with Goat. Lee Gun had something that looked like some unknown tripe hanging from his shoulder.

“How’s Jaewon doing? Is he ok?”

Lee Jaewon, who was wearing a hospital gown, laughed. “Yes. It’s all thanks to Lee Gun-nim.”

After being healed by Lee Gun, Lee Jaewon had been revived safely. However, some aftereffects were left over from being killed by Confusion.

“Take care of yourself. You won’t be able to use the side that Confusion hit for a while.”

“Yes.”

As expected from the result of a monarch’s attack, Super Regeneration couldn’t heal the aftereffects.

If Lee Gun reached Life stage 5, it was said that there would be no aftereffects.

“Hey, Sungjae. Are you able to make a human?”

Everyone was surprised by Lee Gun’s question.

Chun Sungjae was the most surprised. “Human?”

“What? You are the Zodiac Saint of Life. You acquired the Creation ability. You made my face and various parts to make my clone.”

“??!!”

Chun Sungjae screamed when everyone looked at him. They wanted to know if he had really done such a thing. “I…I’ve never done that…”

“Of course, you did.”

Lee Gun immediately lifted Chun Sungjae and shook him.

“Ahhhk!!”

Numerous goods fell out of Chun Sungjae’s body! They were key chains, looking eerily like Lee Gun.

This included his skin appearance, number of hair, and expression. The key chains also wore the uniforms by each generation that were famous amongst the fans. That wasn’t all.

Something unbelievable fell out of the bag that was made to be used for storage. It was a life-sized Lee Gun figurine, as tall as Lee Gun!

“Ahhhk!!”

No, it wasn’t a figurine.

“Lee Gun-nim?!”

“That’s a human body!!”

Yes, the components making up the figurine were the same as that inside a person. Everyone was shocked.

Lee Gun’s eyes flashed when he saw the life-sized body. “Hey, Sungjae. What did you make this with? Did you just imagine it to appear?”

“Uh. That is… If I’m being honest, I plucked out several strands of your hair when you were sleeping, Uncle. I made it from that…!!”

“Hair?”

Lee Gun’s eyes flashed at the unexpected word.

Chun Yooha grabbed her brother. “Hey! How can you do such a thing? Of all the things you could do…!”

“Wahhhh, Uncle! I have sinned! I originally planned on making the key chains for missionary work, but when I used the hair, that suddenly came out! I’m sorry. I’ll immediately get rid of—”

“No. You did well.”

“…I did well… What?”

Lee Gun had come here to confirm something. When he touched the life-sized body model, he laughed as if he was satisfied.

“Give me the blueprint that you used to make this, Sungjae. Give it to me even if you don’t have it.”

“What?!!”

“That means you either need DNA or a body part to make a person like this, right?”

Goat immediately realized Lee Gun’s plan. He had heard through Hugo that Lee Gun needed a body for Yeonwoo.

‘Lee Gun-nim is planning on making Yeonwoo-nim’s vessel himself!’

Putting the soul in this vessel than in a paper doll would be much safer and better!

While Chun Sungjae was able to do it through his incredible fandom, Lee Gun was a genius manufacturer. He would sculpt something better than the real thing. He’d make a vessel identical to the actual person. It would be like the Pygmalion effect.

“However, there is nothing of Yeonwoo-nim’s body left…! So how will you do it?”

“No. I have something.”

“!!”

Lee Gun took out Heaven’s Punishment. “Yeonwoo’s bones were used as base material to make Heaven’s Punishment.”

“?!!”

Everyone reared back in shock.

“U-Uncle! You’ll destroy Heaven’s Punishment?!”

“Ah…!!”

“No way!” Lee Gun entered the kitchen and brought back a whetstone. “If Sungjae’s method is correct, I’ll just have to grind it a little.”

“G-Grind it?!”

Lee Gun held the hand ax in its stage 1 form. He started grinding it with his whetstone. Then he used the Creation Workshop’s Dismantle skill! Light exploded forth.

[Heaven’s Punishment feels refreshed when it receives a good scrub.]

[Heaven’s Punishment says it feels very good.]

Lee Gun diligently ground the core too.

[Heaven’s Punishment says that part tickles.]

[Heaven’s Punishment wants you to be a bit gentler.]

Then…

“Alright. I’m done making preparations.”

Lee Gun smirked when he saw the shiny object ground out by the whetstone.

***

“What?! Pregnant?!”

It was 8 o’clock at night. Hugo had an errand to do, so he had come downtown.

His mouth fell open. “D…Did you just say Jiwoo is pregnant? She’s pregnant with our third child?”

– Yes. That’s why you should stop wandering off. Hurry up and come back.

Hugo couldn’t shut his mouth when he received the impatient call from Lee Gun. He didn’t know what to do with himself. He felt as if he had received a gift that was unique to this world.

He couldn’t hide his happiness, and Lee Gun felt it just through Hugo’s voice.

– Are you that happy?

Did it even need to be asked?

“Of course, I’m happy. You saved my subordinates, who are like younger siblings to me. I also got a new lease on life thanks to you.”

Hugo laughed honestly. “If something happens to me, I’ll just have to look for Lee Gun-nim.”

– What? I can’t revive a Divine rank.

“What the hell? Why are you so incompetent?”

– If you don’t want to be beaten up, you should come with a present for Miss Jiwoo. I’m calling you beforehand because you’ll come home empty-handed.

“Yes. I’ll go buy something expensive.”

– Aw! Don’t buy something strange, Dad!

The shouts from the Chun siblings came from the phone.

Lee Gun smirked when Hugo showed signs of going overboard with his purchase.

– Hey. Don’t be so happy. At the end of the day, your third child will be my fan.

“Fuck off! I don’t care if it is a son or daughter. I’ll raise it to follow its father!” Hugo violently ended the call.

Of course, although Hugo spoke that way, he felt truly thankful toward Lee Gun. After Lee Gun died, Hugo had lost a subordinate, who had been like a brother to him. He had also lost his wife, whom he had loved.

He had never thought there would be a reason for him to laugh again.

‘I’ll have to buy Gun a present too.’

Suddenly…

“…kuhk!”

Hugo vomited blood, feeling excruciating pain. An unfamiliar hand pierced through his back to reach his heart.

Shocked, he turned to look backward. The sight left him surprised.

[We meet again.]

Someone who shouldn’t be there had shown up.
