Chapter 263
The moment it seemed like things were going in a strange direction, Choi Yeonseung coughed and returned the conversation to its original topic.
“Goddess, my master is curious about what messages the constellation of the Abyss have sent you.”
[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ says they are just threats.]
‘Um… I don’t think it’s just that.’
Choi Yeonseung grew worried as he looked at the list that the goddess was talking about. First of all, the Noble Crown Collector was threatening them with death.
[The ‘Noble Crown Collector’ vows to spare you if you return the United Kingdom right now.]
[The ‘Noble Crown Collector’ says that if you ignore this suggestion, he will make sure all of you get destroyed...]
[The ‘Noble Crown Collector’ urges you not to ignore his warning!]
The reaction of the collector constellation was only natural and it wasn’t a big deal. Since he had lost the United Kingdom, his power had decreased exponentially, and consequently, his kingdoms in the Abyss were also on the verge of collapsing. Rather than taking revenge, the collector constellation had to take care of himself.
The problem was elsewhere.
[The ‘Expert of Twisted Hallucinations’ genuinely admires the goddess’ scheme.]
[The ‘Expert of Twisted Hallucinations’ is warning her to be careful.]
[The ‘Demon of Contract and Order’ is admiring this side of the goddess that he has never known before.]
[The ‘Demon of Contract and Order’ is suggesting to compete with each other for contracts in the future.]
[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ is praising the goddess this time.]
[’Endless Linked Explosions’ is jealous of the goddess.]
[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ is very interested.]
[...]
They had properly attracted the attention of the evil god constellations. The evil god constellations were allied with each other, even though it was a very loose alliance. Despite the fact that they hated and loathed each other, they had to stay united in order to stand up to the good god constellations.
However, since one of the representative evil god constellations had been defeated by a good god constellation, it was natural that the evil god constellations would pay attention to it.
‘This... I’m a bit worried.’
One couldn’t do anything when they were clearly outnumbered. If the goddess was attacked from various sides, starting with the constellation battles...
-If that happens, you’ll discover the true identity of the goddess.
-...Isn’t that too cruel?
-That’s how things work in the Abyss.
The goddess of sloth thought that if the goddess of balance was attacked, her true colors would be revealed. If the goddess of balance was among the constellations who had made a secret alliance and opened the gate...
Wouldn’t she show her true colors when backed into a corner?
[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ is telling you not to worry. She says she didn’t give in at all, even though there were comments from other constellations.]
“...???”
Was there something else besides the threats from the evil god constellations?
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ says he will keep an eye on how the United Kingdom is governed.]
[The ‘Monk Pursuing Glory’ declares that since you have taken over the United Kingdom instead of the angel constellation, he won’t remain silent if you fail to govern it well]
[...]
[...]
The angel constellation was highly regarded among the good god constellations because of how active he was. It was to the extent that there were several constellations who were indebted to the angel constellation.
The other good god constellations were displeased with the fact that the goddess had taken over the United Kingdom instead of the angel constellation. No matter how they thought about it, the goddess didn’t seem like she could rule better than the angel constellation.
This situation attracted the attention of all constellations, both evil and good. The only ones who could currently take the goddess’ side were...
‘Is it the berserker constellation or the constellation of understanding?’
It was between an evil god constellation and a scumbag that had just become a constellation. Choi Yeonseung couldn’t help being nervous. However, unlike him, the goddess didn’t lose her confidence.
-Maybe... I think she’s just trying to act tough in front of?you... At this point, I think it’s rather pathetic...
-Be quiet.
Choi Yeonseung cut off the words of the goddess of sloth. He believed that the goddess of balance was acting confident because of her dignity, not because she was trying to impress him. He desperately hoped that was the case!
“Given how things are now... We have no choice but to rule the United Kingdom properly.”
There was nothing he could do about the evil god constellations, but he had to do something in order to satisfy the good god constellations.
‘I’m not like the rest of the constellations!’
Choi Yeonseung decided to use his constellation power to talk to the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons.
-Will he accept it?
[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ coldly says not to do anything pointless.]
[The ‘Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ says that even if you talk to him very politely, it’s likely that he will still take it as mockery.]
Even the manipulator constellation, who usually didn’t talk much, didn’t think this was right, and tried to dissuade Choi Yeonseung from doing it. If Choi Yeonseung tried to contact the angel constellation at this time, it was likely that the latter would take it as a mockery or a provocation. Yet surprisingly, the angel constellation replied in a composed manner.
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ is asking what is going on.]
-Um... First of all , I want to apologize for this. It’s not what I intended.
It had in fact been intended, but Choi Yeonseung couldn’t say that when apologizing. The moment Choi Yeonseung’s message was delivered, the angel constellation gave an unexpected answer.
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ says it’s okay. He says it doesn’t matter which constellation rules the land as long as they can properly govern and lead humans.]
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ says that now that the evil god constellations are getting weaker and weaker, it’s very important to rule over the depraved, lazy, and corrupt human beings.]
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ says that even though it’s hard to believe in the ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’, he has high expectations for the ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training.’]
‘...??’
Choi Yeonseung was taken aback by the attitude of the angel, which turned out to be more favorable than he had expected.
-You’ve helped his household members.
-Ah, so it’s because of that?
Come to think of it, given his relations with Illaphael and Han Sehui, Choi Yeonseung wasn’t on bad terms with the angel constellation.
-Didn’t he have a household member who was part of the royal family of England?
-What was their name? I forgot.
-I also don’t remember. Well, it’s not that important. Let’s move on.
In any case, the fact that the angel constellation had a favorable attitude toward Choi Yeonseung was a good sign.
Choi Yeonseung sighed with relief. At the very least, it seemed like he wouldn’t have to fight another constellation battle in the near future.
-In addition, the angel constellation has a pretty good idea.
Among the good god constellations, the angel constellation was considered to be warlike and very strict, but Choi Yeonseung liked his idea. Hunters these days weren’t doing rais like they were supposed to. They just messed around!
...It was an old-fashioned way of thinking, but Choi Yeonseung thought the same.
-I think so too, but don’t go around saying that, especially in front of the goddess of balance.
-Why?
-Just don’t say it.
The goddess of sloth had a firm tone, even though she almost never got angry. Because of this, Choi Yeonseung felt forced to take a step back.
‘Hmm. Since the angel constellation has appeared like this, should I ask him about that?’
-Angel constellation, have you ever thought about how to rule the United Kingdom? If you can give me advice, I would like to hear it.
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ is happy!]
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ will present his ideas. First, gather all the British hunters and form an army. All the talented young men of the United Kingdom should be sent to schools where combat is taught...]
“...”
Choi Yeonseung was stunned as he listened to the suggestions of the angel constellation. Wasn’t he suggesting to disregard all the industries of the United Kingdom and replace them with combat industries?
‘As expected, constellations aren’t to be trusted.’
Choi Yeonseung genuinely thought so.
The manipulator constellation asked a question.
[The ‘Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ is asking if she can send the nightmare demons to the United Kingdom.]
“...?”
Nightmare demons in the United Kingdom?
***
The humans of Earth lived a normal life and never crossed paths with Abyssal races.
Abyssal races would sometimes come to Earth using the power of a constellation or emerge from dungeons. In addition, the humans of Earth would sometimes change their race using the power of the constellation.
However, it wasn’t particularly hard to find those individuals if one looked for them. They were usually found in countries occupied by evil god constellations. There were quite a few cases where the household members and clans sent by the evil god constellations roamed the country.
“Didn’t the collector constellation send Abyssal races to the United Kingdom?”
“No. There were vampires, but they didn’t live in the United Kingdom. They only came here whenever there was a problem and had to watch over the people and rule them.
The races belonging to the collector constellation hated living in the United Kingdom. Most of them were decent and noble, so they didn’t want to live on Earth, a place with dirty air that they didn’t know much about.
They only went there if the constellation ordered them to do so.
[The ‘Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ says that Earth is attractive enough for the nightmare demons.]
The nightmare demons were a race that sought desires. To them, races like humans that were full of desire were alluring prey. To think that there was a country full of such creatures… They would certainly put up with any bad conditions.
“Hmm... Yes. It shouldn't be a big deal. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring the Abyssal races here,” said Choi Yeonseung while thinking about the orcs.
The orcs had turned out to be much more diligent and effective than he had thought. If he brought them to the United Kingdom, allocate the remaining land to them, and have them increase production...
‘Wouldn’t that be okay?’
He hadn’t decided on how to govern the United Kingdom yet, but it seemed like a good idea to call the Abyssal races.
***
“Oh my god... What race is that?”
“Are they angels? It can’t be. How can they be so beautiful...?”
The Londoners were astonished to see the nightmare demons passing by on the road. They were just as beautiful as the angels and the elves! Of course, people thought this way because they didn’t know the inner thoughts of the nightmare demons.
“I looked into it. The incarnation of training has been regarded quite well recently. He’s active in Asia.”
“Isn’t he better than the collector guy? He just needs to be better than him.”
There weren’t many British people who were fond of the collector constellation. The nobles evidently liked him because he had allowed them to live luxuriously, but the remaining people had no reason to like him.
In contrast, the incarnation of training had a much better image than expected. News regarding his recent achievements had been secretly spreading.
More than anything, Choi Yeonseung’s appearance during the constellation battle had proved to be quite impactful. It was rare for a hunter to risk their lives in the middle of a constellation battle to save the citizens.
“...Aaaaack! Orcs! Orcs!”
“Call the hunters! The hunters!”
The citizens, who had been watching quietly, ran away screaming once they saw the orcs passing through the streets. The orcs were puzzled as they watched the people fleeing.
-Why are they running away?
-It must be hard for them to bear our dignity.
-Is that so?
Normally, one could encounter orcs on Earth only when dungeons were destroyed. Thus, it was natural for people to panic and run away. However, instead of going on a rampage, the orcs diligently carried out Choi Yeonseung’s orders.
-You need to prepare to establish a magic barrier here.
-These buildings are in the way. May I destroy them?
-No. You have to obtain permission from the owner for that.
-I see. Then I have to call the owner.
The orcs worked hard with the help of Odaigon and the strange golem, the Pagoda Bearing God.
-This plot of land is empty. Can I plant trees here?
-It probably has an owner.
-I will call the owner and persuade them!
-Yes, it’s fine if you can convince them.
The orcs rushed out excitedly the moment Odaigon gave them permission.
