Chapter 171: Goddess of Atonement (2)

Shaoniel closed her eyes for a brief moment before she spoke again .

"With the power of Hwanmong, he entered the Abyss! I recently felt like it was meant to happen . I don’t know why but he had to enter the Abyss . ”

She continued speaking with a smile on her face .

"But even if it was meant to happen, it is clear that the Celestial World greatly wronged him . Thus, this is the only method to avoid his wrath . ”

Luminael trembled . He knew that Shaoniel wasn’t a crazy person, no matter how much she suffered in hell .

“Are you saying that Lucan will really exit the Abyss?”

“According to my predictions, there is no doubt about it . It might take many years but it will definitely happen . ”

It was at that moment .

"I have already emerged from the Abyss, Shaoniel . ”

It was Kang-jun . He arrived here and had heard the conversation between Shaoniel and Luminael .

He was surprised to find out that Shaoniel had allowed all his household members, including Hayun, to leave hell .

The reason he was surprised was the method she chose .

She took on all the pain they would have suffered .

As a result, she received more pain than the demonic gods on the 99th floor .

Shaoniel chose to punish herself to apologize to Kang-jun, who she knew would return one day .

Kang-jun hurriedly pulled her away from the punishment area and said .

"You are still very knowledgeable . You thought that I would still forgive the Celestial World even after this?”

Kang-jun spoke in a reproachful tone but his eyes were warm .

Although he was a Hwanmong Ruler, he still had a sense of humanity .

Once he saw Shaoniel, his heart became choked with hot emotions that couldn’t be expressed .

Naturally, he was impressed .

But it went beyond being just impressed .

Due to her, Kang-jun’s household members had avoided the pains of hell .

He was impressed by that alone, but she had suffered in order to atone to Kang-jun .

On the other hand, once she saw Kang-jun, Shaoniel looked stunned and couldn’t help crying .

"I guess I was right . I was sure that you would come back . Please forgive the Celestial World . . . ”

She didn’t finish speaking .

After suffering from the extreme pain, that pain had suddenly disappeared so she fainted when she saw Kang-jun, as if all her tension had been released .

It wasn’t merely physical exhaustion but mental fatigue as well . Due to all her suffering, even the transcendent mind of a goddess had reached its limit .

“Tsk . ”

Kang-jun clicked his tongue and embraced her .

“Don’t worry, I won’t get rid of the Celestial World . ”

With those words, Kang-jun moved her inside his wings to rest .

Just like Aquana and Klater, she would recover by resting inside Kang-jun’s wings .

Of course, it was also to protect Shaoniel .

No one would be able to harm Shaoniel if she was waiting in his wings .

‘No one will touch Shaoniel without my permission . ’

Although Shaoniel wasn’t his, Kang-jun intended to protect her like she was .

He didn’t think that anyone had ever touched his heart like Shaoniel had .

‘Shouldn’t there be a single person in the Celestial World atoning for Lucan who had disappeared into the Abyss?’

In particular, the words that she had said .

Kang-jun bluntly asked Luminael .

"Tell me what happened after I entered the Abyss . ”

Luminael’s expression was still blank like he couldn’t believe the situation, but he eventually spoke with a sigh .

"Now that you’ve come out of the Abyss, your power must be beyond my imagination . I understand . I will tell you about what happened . ”

Luminael was worried that Kang-jun would go to the Celestial World so he was as polite as possible .

"As you’ve already heard, Shaoniel made it so that Lucan’s household members didn’t have to suffer in hell . She pleaded with the chief gods to release them and she would take all their pain instead . The appeal was heard and Shaoniel came down to the 97th floor to suffer the worst pain in all of hell .

"So my household members have been returned to their original place?”

"Yes, but unlike before, their abilities are normal . In addition, they have forgotten all about you and don’t know who you are anymore . ”

At that moment, Luminael trembled . It was because Kang-jun’s expression distorted the moment he spoke .

“All their memories of me were erased? Then their memories will be returned, including their original abilities . There will also be compensation for the damage they suffered . Isn't that right?”

“T-that’s right . ”

Luminael started sweating . It wasn’t an impossible task but the chief gods of the Celestial World were the only ones who could do it .

But would they be willing to?

Luminael was certain that the chief gods wouldn’t bend even if the Celestial World would collapse .

So he was very concerned .

Kang-jun had the ability to escape the Abyss so he could stop the chief gods .

At that moment, Kang-jun looked at him and said .

"Don’t worry so much . If we can talk well with each other then I will hold back my hands . Anyway, it seems like I am now done with hell . Guide me to the southern area . ”

"M-me?"

Luminael jumped at the suggestion that he should be Kang-jun’s guide in the Celestial World .

“Yes . ”

Kang-jun nodded . Luminael hurriedly shook his head .

“I am an advanced angel of the Celestial World . It is clear that you are going to the Heavenly World for a bad purpose so how can I guide you?”

Kang-jun sneered .

"You will guide me even if you don’t want to . ”

He waved his hand and a beautiful man in red armour showed up in front of him .

The great demonic god Spiros .

He was the lowest on the great demonic gods hierarchy but he was unbeatable in the dimensional world .

His abilities became stronger after surviving in the snowy terrain with extreme destructive power for many years .

"Lord, did you call me?”

As soon as Spiros appeared, he bowed without even daring to look at Kang-jun .

"Heok! T-that person?”

Luminael, who had the intuition of an advanced angel, noticed Spiros’ identity and trembled .

“Great Demonic God Spiros! H-how are you here? Lucan, did you drag him out?”

Spiros carefully looked up and glanced at Luminael .

Beondduk!

Luminael felt faint with just one glance . He felt like a rat who had just met a cat or a snake .

Kang-jun smiled .

"I pulled out not only Spiros, but everyone else . They are all my servants . ”

"T-that!”

Luminael looked desperate after hearing that all the great demonic gods in the Abyss were Kang-jun’s servants .

Kang-jun laughed coldly .

"Spiros, question him and find out the location of the southern area . We will start by capturing the southern area of the Celestial World . ”

“Yes, Lord . ”

Spiros walked towards Luminael with a face full of interest . Luminael’s entire body trembled .

In fact, Kang-jun could find out the location of the celestial areas by intimidating Luminael directly . But he thought it would be more effective to use Spiros .

They were capable servants so as the master, he didn’t need to take action .

That was one reason why he only called Spiros . It wouldn’t be good to call out all his servants just to take over the Celestial World .

"Just don’t take it too seriously, Spiros . ”

“Huhu, don’t worry . I’ll just check his back . I didn’t know that I would be able to see an angel’s back as soon as I left the Abyss . "

At those words, Luminael immediately jumped up and cried out towards Kang-jun .

“I-it can’t be helped . Then I'll guide you to the southern area . ”

Luminael freaked out when he saw Spiros’ strangely flashing eyes . It wasn’t difficult to figure out what he saw .

‘Sob! Anything else but that . I would rather apologize and face punishment in hell .

Thus, an advanced angel collapsed due to the words from a great demonic god .

Spiros bowed towards Kang-jun and declared .

“The mission is complete, Lord . ”

“Okay . Then let’s move onto the southern area . ”

Kang-jun smiled with satisfaction . The threats of the great demonic gods were on an entirely different level . He reduced an advanced angel to this pitiful state with just a few sentences .

A portal to the southern area was immediately opened and Kang-jun and Spiros went through it . The frightened Luminael followed behind them .

"They are?”

"Who dares come here?”

The southern area symbolically meant the southern sky, but that didn’t mean there were no defenses .

It was one of the separated worlds of the Celestial World .

A huge celestial world with vast areas . These four celestial worlds ruled over the whole dimensional system .

There were countless angels in the southern area alone .

The abilities of the angels varied . Among them, the upper-ranked were celestial gods and the lower-ranked were the angels .

But right now, there appeared to be an invasion of this place . It was unprecedented in the southern area as well as in the entire Celestial World .

Kang-jun gave an order to Spiros as he looked at the angels coming towards them .

"Capture all those who resist . ”

“Yes, Lord . ”

Spiros was completely excited .

He had been dreaming of revenge!

His desire to occupy the Celestial World would finally be fulfilled .

He never imagined that his wish would be fulfilled through Kang-jun .

“Kukakakaka! Bring it on . ”

Previously, Kang-jun had struggled against Spiros and had been killed dozens of times .

Kwarurung! Flash! Papapat!

Spiros swung his whip and countless weapons were created everywhere . This was the energy of destruction that existed in the Abyss!

It was shaped as weapons and flew towards the angels .

All the angels ravaged by the weapons of destruction vanished without a trace .

Of course, they weren’t dead .

They were just moved to the sealed world that Kang-jun created .

Kwarurung! Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

Spiros flew along the southern sky . The angels and celestial gods within the radius of his attack all turned into dust and disappeared .

"These people! Evil demonic gods dared to show up here?”

It was the chief god of the south, Notos . Behind him were Liviana of the west, Ceres of the east and Dianas of the north .

The moment that the southern area got attacked, a warning rang through the entire Celestial World .

In particular, Cadeos informed the chiefs of the fact that the angels guarding the Abyss were turned to stone and that Shaoniel had disappeared .

They immediately realized that there was a crisis in the Celestial World . Therefore, the chiefs stopped everything and came to support the southern area .

They were astonished to see that the identity of the demonic god was Spiros who they had thrown in the Abyss a long time ago .

“Spiros! Why are you here?”

"I can’t believe that you are out of the Abyss . ”

However, they were even more astonished after they saw Lucan, who was watching the situation with his arms folded .

“L-Lucan!”

“Demonic god Lucan!”

Kang-jun laughed coldly .

"Everyone is here so I don’t have to go around looking for you . ”
