The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero
chapter-344-30041322

Hades’ Divine item was called <Registry of Hades>.

It was a registry that listed the life expectancy of the gods. It could be used to increase and decrease the lifespan of the gods.

Of course, there were stipulations and restrictions when one wanted to use an item of this caliber.

This was why Lee Gun headed towards the <Ancient Temple> in order to use the registry.

For some reason, his Constructs told him that Registry of Hades could be only used over there.

On the other hand, there was something else that took priority at that moment.

“Hey. Are you sure its not working?”

“…….”

“Really? There is no reaction at all?”

“…Gun.”

“Damn it. It really isn’t rising!”

“Why the hell do you think it’ll work, you idiot!!”

Hugo sent his fist flying towards Lee Gun, who was pushing lewd materials towards him.

That’s right.

Lee Gun was trying to fix Hugo’s defects. In order to check if it was fixed, they were participating in some extracurricular activities.

In order to help his friend, he had brought out various footages, photos, sounds and all kinds of media for Hugo.

Lee Gun grumbled.

“Tsk. I thought I made a strong effort this time, yet it didn’t work?”

“Damn it!!”

Hugo wanted to toss aside Lee Gun, but he knew he couldn’t do it. This was why he clutched at his face.

On the other hand, Lee Gun continued to talk to himself.

“Shit. If I knew this would happen, I would have asked Yooha to borrow a picture of Ms Jiwoo.”

He said he opened lewd contents, but all he could find were fanfictions with the 13 heroes as the topic. Of course, there was no way such contents could be lewd, so he searched several websites for experimentation. However, it was useless.

“Really! Work a little harder! Let’s take this home! Look at another one!”

“Really! You want to die!”

In the end, Lee Gun pouted when his handphone was temporarily confiscated.

It wasn’t as if he had shown R-rated content with no plan in mind.

In case it worked, he had used the Chalice skill of the Aquarius to create healing potions. He poured a lot of it into Hugo.

However, it hadn’t worked, and he had no idea what to do next.

“If the Chalice can solve it, the baldie wouldn’t have suffered so much.”

Moreover, it wasn’t as if Hugo had lost function. The part of him capable of doing it was cut out. One couldn’t revive something that didn’t exist in the first place.

That wasn’t all.

‘Aside from this defect, his life expectancy isn’t growing.’

It seemed all of his life expectancy was extracted when Hugo was partitioned.

Of course, there might be a solution if all his penalties were lifted. Lee Gun would be able to use all of his Life abilities…

‘I can’t always revive someone that’ll die in a week.’

Even he couldn’t revive someone indefinitely.

[Caution. If the revival is too far out of the natural order, the reviver’s soul will be consumed.]

[Penalties will be applied including to your Karma.]

In other words, reviving someone that wasn’t at the end of the road wasn’t as flagrant. However, indefinitely reviving someone that had reached the end of their lifespan would greatly damage the order of the universe. It would make Lee Gun amass Karmic debt.

Lee Gun didn’t mind it for himself, but he worried the Karmic debt would splash towards Hugo and his family.

‘I have to find the other parts that were cut away, and I have to combine them. That’s the most surefire method.’

This included defects that the Great Spirit of Olympus had stolen away.

Hugo’s abilities and life expectancy had been taken away by his kidnappers. It had been done for their benefit.

‘Those bastards are dead.’

Lee Gun’s eyes flashed. That thought was driving Lee Gun mad when it happened.

“S.…Snake god. You can use it here now. Hurry up and take it.”

“!”

Lee Gun smirked when he heard a voice from next to him.

It was Anubis.

He was returning Hades’ item to Lee Gun. Since Anubis was also a god of the underworld, he was able to complete this task quickly. However, he looked desperate for some reason.

“If our business is done here, let’s quickly get out of here!!!”

“Why are you in such a hurry? Do you have to go to the restroom?”

“This place has everything to do with it, you asshole!”

Anubis expressed his anger.

Currently, they were at the <Neutral Zone> under the supervision of the Divine world. Since the Pantheon was divided into nine large factions, this place was a shared space for everyone.

Moreover, it was a place where fighting was forbidden and in a way, it was like a civic center. All the divine activities of the gods were administered here.

This included the registration of Zodiacs and Constructs. They also managed Divine items and colonists in various territories.

In order to use the Divine item taken from Hades, one had to go through a procedure in this place. This was why they were here.

“Do you understand what I’m trying to say? This is where all the factions gather! What if I come across a god that I know… Kuh-huhk!!”

Lee Gun kicked Anubis.

“Say the magic word. Master.”

“Fuck!! You are a mere fledgling g…!”

“What the hell? Is it a fight? Who are they?”

“I think they are from Ennead….”

“Ahhhk!”

When Anubis started garnering attention, he quickly lowered himself as he covered his face.

The other gods walked past them as if they didn’t care.

Anubis felt like dying.

‘I don’t have time to be doing this…!’

“Anyways, I secretly transferred its ownership from Olympus to you. You’ll be able to use it… Kuhk! Master!”

Lee Gun looked satisfied as he activated the <Registry of Hades>.

Since the ownership of the registry had changed, it changed from black to gold.

The book hovered in the air, and there were countless names of gods written inside.

“What the hell? Why are they mostly gods under the Olympus faction?”

“Why else? You have to fight other factions and take their names. That is why it is rare… Ahhhk! Why is my name written there!”

Anubis was shocked when he saw Osiris and his name written at the end.

After they became Constructs, they were entered into Lee Gun’s ownership.

Lee Gun didn’t pay attention to him as he turned the page.

Olympus was enough for now.

“I think the Divine status of the one that called earlier was called <Morpheus>….”

Morpheus was the god of dreams. He was the origin of morphine.

After turning several pages, Lee Gun smirked.

“There he is. His Divine name is <Master of Dreams>. His remaining life expectancy is 48,349 years.”

It seemed the life expectancy of gods were determined by ‘Achievements’, ‘level of Divine power’, and the number of ‘followers’.

If one erased the numbers to rewrite it, one would change the fate of the gods.

However, there was one crucial problem.

“Hey. I can’t change the numbers. It says it is locked.”

Anubis grabbed the back of his neck, because Lee Gun was too green.

“That Divine item can harm the order of the universe. It is a 5 star Divine item, so it can’t be used on a whim!”

“That’s so lame. How is this supposed to be used?”

“You have to buy a <Permission Ticket(Absolve Responsibility)>!”

“Permission ticket??”

“Yes. It is like a chip that absolves responsibility!”

Permission Ticket(Absolve Responsibility)> was the most important item in the Divine world.

Even a god couldn’t mess with the order of the universe in an excessive manner.

Amongst the abilities and items owned by gods, they had the means to bring the end to the universe.

This was why restrictions were placed on certain techniques. These techniques needed permission from the Divine world to be used.

If it was used by force, Karmic debt will be amassed. Penalty would be dished out depending on the gravity of the offense.

It wasn’t an unreasonable system.

‘If it is allowed to be used with no restrictions, everyone might die.’

On the other hand, the life expectancy of the low rank Constructs could be freely expanded and contracted.

However, Lee Gun wasn’t aiming for the Constructs.

‘I want the Zodiac ranks’

Lee Gun smirked.

“How do I buy the <Permission Ticket>?”

“What? There is no way someone like you can… Kuh-huhk!”

Anubis was hit again by Lee Gun, yet he pounded his chest in frustration.

It was to be expected since the <Permission Tickets> were sold depending on the god’s credit rating and level.

Moreover, it was hard to buy even one or two of them. This was why the gods didn’t like selling them.

“You are a rookie that probably has no Divine Achievements. How dare you think you’ll be able to buy it! You should consider yourself fortunate if you are able to acquire even one…”

“Ah. What the hell? I can acquire 1,000 of them.”

“?!!”

Lee Gun automatically saw the <Permission Ticket> through the clearing house.

He smirked.

He took out papers from something that looked like a kiosk.

[<Serpent Bearer>]

[Beginning and End Serpent]

[Designer]

-Number of Permission Ticket allowed to be exchanged-

-Sale of Divine Achievement-

[Content: Chasing out the master of a floor(Permanent Defense Increase)] = 10

[Content: Killing Hades(Permanent Attack Increase)] = 50

-Sale of items in possession-

[Strange Spear] = 100

[Strange Currency] = 10 for 1

[Pushover] = 500

[Registry of Hades] = 20

[Weapon of the Sun] = 10

[Leo’s Tooth] = 50

Lee Gun smirked.

He didn’t know for sure, but it seemed he could purchase Permission Tickets using the Achievements and items that he had amassed.

‘The spear and the currency are the ones I made.’

It was probably referring to the spear made from the Abyss monarch, and the counterfeit money that he had made.

In the case of the counterfeit money, he had no idea why it was valued so highly.

‘Was it because I made it with the carcass and excrement of the monsters?’

Did they have some use like the spear made from the monarch?

It didn’t matter in the end.

‘They possess a sense of self. I just need to give an order, and they’ll return to me.’

This was why Lee Gun spoke without hesitation.

“Alright. I’ll sell Leo’s Tooth and the remaining 1,000 currency.”

It happened at that moment.

“Uh!”

When Lee Gun took out the counterfeit money that he had created, a murmur erupted around him.

It had to do with the rumbling noise coming from the Talents.

“Wait a moment!! Look at that!!”

“Isn’t that the item that came out the auction house?”

“That’s right. It is the Talent that possesses a sense of self!”

In a flash, the gods gathered around Lee Gun.

“Oh, nameless god! Do you plan on selling them for the Permission Tickets!”

“Uh. It says 10 of them can be exchanged for one Permission Ticket, so…”

“I’ll give you 1 Permission Ticket for 7 of them!”

“What?”

“I’ll give you 1 Permission Ticket for 5 of them!”

“I’ll give you 1 Permission for each of them!!!”

“????”

Anubis’s eyes turned round when he saw the odd sight.

He had no idea what was going on.

Lee Gun didn’t care if Anubis was shocked or not. He smirked.

“I’ll give you 10 for each of them.”

“Alright! I’ll buy a total of ten thousand!”

“?!”

In a flash, he acquired <Permission Tickets>, which were hard to acquire.

Lee Gun nonchalantly created a large stack.

“What the hell? It is easy to buy Permission Tickets.”

While Anubis was taken aback by what he saw, he laughed in disbelief.

“Y…You won’t be able to affect the pillar gods with ten thousand. Do you realize how many gods are under Olympus?”

Lee Gun didn’t care as he activated his <Creation Workshop> skill.

“I am a manufacturer god. I just have to make more. That is all there is to it.”

“?!!!”

Anubis screamed as he saw stacks of counterfeit money start to stack up.

* * *

It was around that time on the 1st floor of the Divine world.

“What? Why the hell is no one inside the main god’s palace!”

It was a spire that was located between two imposing rock faces.

Enormous city and buildings stretched out below the high skyscraper.

Morpheus was located on the highest floor within Olympus’ territory.

He had just finished his communication with Lee Gun, and he had come here to meet the Great Spirit in regards to the deal involving Hades.

At that moment, he couldn’t hide his shock.

This place was the headquarters where the Great Spirit, pillar gods and their faction’s greatest officers resided.

Unlike the 2nd and 3rd floor containing European style low-rise architecture, the 1st floor was elegant. It was a city of spires that evoked the feeling of a battlefield.

Moreover, this palace was supposed to have countless Constructs that would deliver nectar and food at all times…

“Is anyone here!”

“M…Master of Dreams…!”

“!”

Morpheus scanned the hallway, and he became surprised when he saw the remaining guard of the palace. He was on the ground, and he was having a hard time breathing.

“What is going on!”

“That is… Kuh-huhk!”

Finally, the guard screamed.

At the same time, familiar symbols appeared below and the guard was dragged under the surface.

It was the symbol of Hades’ underworld!

It was the symbol of Tartarus!

“He was dragged away to the underworld?!”

There was no mistaking it.

This was Hades’ power. It was the Registry of Hades!

One’s life expectancy can be manipulated to make others into residents of the underworld.

‘Who!’

After Hades had died, he had come here to report to the Great Spirit. He did it to restart the deal with Ennead.

He had already sent Anubis and Osiris over there to make the transaction.

[I have to frontrun the other gods, so I can take some profit for myself.]

The gods of Olympus weren’t just aiming for Pushover’s Divine body. They were aiming for the money that would come in for selling Pushover.

The money would be used to take over earth where Pushover had come from.

So what the hell happened…!

However, it seemed this phenomenon wasn’t only occurring within the palace.

“Did you hear! All the Constructs of Olympus were dragged to the underworld.”

“What?!”

When change occurred, most of the gods including the pillar gods and high rank gods came rushing in.

They looked shocked.

“I thought Hades was dead, so how….!”

“What are the goddesses of fate doing!”

Flash!

“Ahhhhk!!”

The gods, who had rushed to the palace, screamed.

The screams filled the entirety of the palace’s first floor.

In a flash, the light surrounded the entirety of Olympus. The light engulfed all the gods.

At the same time, they couldn’t believe the number that hovered over their bodies.

“This is….!”

“It is our life expectancy… Ahhhk!!!”

The god screamed.

Normally, the figure ranged between thousands to tens of thousand years.

It suddenly changed into [7 hrs 00 min 0 sec].

Their life expectancy contracted to seven hours.

The gods turned pale, and they froze in place. They never expected such a thing to happen.

[Ah. Ah. The underworld is giving notice to Olympus.]

“……!!!”

It was an unfamiliar voice that rang out through Olympus.

The voice could be heard from the sky.

“That is…!”

There was a bird flying in the sky, and the voice could be heard coming from it. It was very similar to the communication bird that had been sent to Ennead.

[I killed Hades. That means I am now the owner of the underworld. Ah. Most of your Constructs were made into residents of this place. They are still alive and well. You don’t have to worry about them for now.]

“……?!”

“Who the hell is that bastard!!”

[You probably know this already, but all your life expectancies were changed to 7 hours. You can refer to it. I wanted to make it 7 days, but I didn’t realize I had to specify the unit of time. That is why it turned into 7 hours. I apologize for that.]

“??!!”

[Anyways, that is what happened. Don’t struggle unnecessarily against it. If you want your life expectancy back, give me back Pushover.]

The gods of Olympus had a mental panic when they heard the voice.

What did that crazy bastard just say?

“D…Did he really…!”

“The Divine world didn’t intervene in this matter?”

The gods were taken aback.

Of course, this was also true for one of the pillar gods of Olympus, who stood amongst their ranks.

Sagittarius was also taken aback.

It was for no other reason.

‘What the hell, nephew!!’

What was the point of making his life expectancy into 7 hours too!
