Chapter 177: Rewards and Punishment (2)

On the other hand, the shadow was shocked to hear that all the sovereigns would be released from hell . However, he responded immediately,

"If it is your will, then it isn’t too difficult . But what are you going to do with them?”

Keirun and Aniel also seemed to be curious .

Kang-jun was doing something they had never imagined, so there were thrilled expressions on their faces .

It was natural .

Kang-jun was getting rid of the hell that had been so painful for them, so it wasn’t possible to not be excited .

Kang-jun opened his mouth .

"There are numerous sub-worlds in the stations adjacent to Pavalia Station . I will dispatch the sovereigns to be the guardians there . ”

“Oh! That is a great idea, Lord . ”

Keirun exclaimed and Kang-jun smiled .

"There will be no competition between the sovereigns anymore . It will be their duty to protect each world as the guardian . I will send them to hell only if they neglect that duty . ”

Kang-jun didn’t mean to completely get rid of hell .

If there were no punishments, then those who neglected their missions would surely appear .

He had seen the hell in the Celestial World and decided to use it as a place for penance instead of simply punishment .

“Keirun and Aniel . ”

"Yes, Lord . ”

"The headquarters here will be the center of all the worlds . Therefore, your mission to support the sovereigns will become even more serious . I would like you to help any sovereigns who ask for support from headquarters . ”

“Yes, Lord!”

Keirun and Aniel’s eyes shone intensely .

It was because they liked what was happening .

The sovereigns would no longer fight each other and would instead be assigned to their respective worlds as a guardian .

Headquarters would be the base that supported them .

Thus, Keirun’s and Aniel’s hearts were beating wildly .

“Lord! I really didn't think this day would come . In the future, Lord’s worlds will expand endlessly .

"It is a pleasure to imagine the sovereigns reaching out across the infinite dimensional sea to become guardians . ”

Kang-jun laughed at them .

In fact, his worlds didn’t need to be expanded this way .

It was because his world could already be called the dimensional sea .

In other words, he could do everything alone without the need for household members or sovereigns .

However, he knew how lonely that would be .

Keirun and Aniel didn’t know that Kang-jun’s power had reached a point where he could do everything alone .

They would be disappointed at the thought of not being any use to Kang-jun .

Moreover, they wouldn’t be able to do their task as enthusiastically .

Therefore, Kang-jun didn’t reveal all his abilities . There was no reason to .

The reason why Kang-jun didn’t solve the problems of each sub-world was so he could entrust them to his household members and the sovereigns .

Then the shadow said,

"Then I will stop all punishment for the sovereigns in hell . I will leave their disposal to Dimensional Sovereign Lucan . ”

“Do so . ”

Thanks to Kang-jun, all the sovereigns being punished in hell were freed from their suffering .

They would be dispatched one by one to the small worlds designated by Kang-jun .

Of course, he didn’t just send them there .

Their levels were reset, so they would be killed by the inferior monsters if they were just sent to be guardians .

It was necessary for them to gain experience and raise their level to be capable of guardianship .

Kang-jun decided to make a training course carefully .

Among the small worlds, there were places where monsters were constantly generated even if they were killed .

It was important to classify the level of these monsters and divide them into the beginner zone, intermediate zone and high level zone .

Also, he would give them more motivation by creating missions, instead of just having them hit the monsters .

Kang-jun left this work to Goddess Shaoniel and the angels .

At the same time, the task of making various dungeons was left to the demonic gods .

The demonic gods were ranked into beginner, intermediate, advanced, supreme, special and hell!

Thus, dungeons with six levels were made .

The demonic gods were trapped in the sealed world, so making dungeons was very interesting work for them .

After creating a map of the dungeons, they placed monsters and boss monsters in each one as well as abundant treasures .

Treasures were useless to the demonic gods anyway .

Of course, the more items were placed, the more difficult the dungeon was .

However, most of the dungeons were hell grade, so Kang-jun had to give an order to focus on making lower grade dungeons .

The Celestial World was also interested in this work . They cooperated actively so that the rewards for some missions would be items with divine power .

As soon as these things went well, Kang-jun left the rest to Goddess Shaoniel .

If it was Shaoniel, she would show a performance that would be enough to satisfy Kang-jun .

Now, it was time for Kang-jun to visit his household members and give them some encouragement .

"Shall I see what Rodiam is doing?”

The advanced gnome, Rodiam, was a member of Kang-jun’s household and the one he met after Keirun .

For a while, he had worked as the task manager for the workshop at headquarters, but the workshop was no longer necessary once more resources kept coming in .

So, he sent Rodiam to be the guardian of a world where gnomes lived .

Kang-jun appeared when Rodiam was resting after a battle with mouse-shaped creatures called bloody latta .

“Oh! Lord!”

Rodiam instantly greeted Kang-jun . He rushed over and fell down to the ground .

“Lord has come, ong . ”

His tone was awkward but extremely polite . ‘Ong’ was something that he only used for Kang-jun .

“Yes . Is there anything making you uncomfortable?”

"There is nothing uncomfortable, ong . It is very interesting here, ong . ”

"I'm glad . ”

“Take this, ong . ”

“What is it?”

Rodiam presented a staff, that he had just received, as a gift to Kang-jun .

[Latta Staff (Rare)]

-Increases magic casting speed by 5% .

Kang-jun didn’t need it, but he accepted the gift due to Rodiam’s sincerity .

"Thank you . I have a gift for you as well . ”

Kang-jun took out a set of legendary weapon and equipment, as well as 10 sets of hero ranked equipment .

"Take them . ”

“Oh! Can I really accept something like this, ong?”

Rodiam made a startled expression . Kang-jun smiled and nodded .

"Your life as a guardian will become harder, so this is to help you do better in the future . Wear the equipment . ”

The equipment was designed to fit the body, no matter who wore it .

“Understood, ong . Thank you, ong . Hehe!”

Rodiam was now equipped with sparkling legendary armour .

"Then I’ll see you again . ”

Kang-jun had a lot of myth and celestial grade items as gifts from the Celestial World as well as the demonic grade equipment taken away from the demonic gods, but he gave a gift that matched Rodiam’s level .

If Kang-jun gave equipment that was too good for Rodiam, Rodiam would just neglect his training .

Next, he went to visit the ogre, Germuz, who was the defender of Lazard Continent .

“Kikikiki!”

“Kikikiki!”

It was a place infested with giant mantises, so Germuz led a ratian unit from headquarters to fight against them .

“Kuwaaaaaah!”

The giant mantises were afraid of Germuz’s roar . After Germuz struck down the mantises’ vanguard, the ratians ran forward and struck .

Kwang! Kwajik! Crunch!

Seokeok! Seokeok!

The fierce battle ended with a one-sided victory won by Germuz and the ratian troops .

“Kuweeeh!”

Germuz roared with victory and those watching from afar cheered .

"Waahhh!"

“Victory!”

"Germuz is the best!”

They were a species with the head of a rabbit but the body of a human .

Their height was approximately one metre .

They were very cute and Germuz’ mission was to defend them from the mantises .

“Hahaha! I’ll help you beat the mantises, so don’t worry . ”

He was protecting someone!

Germuz was very proud that he could protect the Igot species .

Then Germuz’ eyes widened as Kang-jun revealed his appearance .

"It is great to see Lord . ”

Kuuong!

He fell down to the ground and bumped his head against it . Of course, his head was completely fine .

Kang-jun clicked his tongue .

“I told you to just bow to your waist, but you did it again . ”

“Keke, it is just so nice to see Lord . ”

"It is good to see that you are working hard . ”

Kang-jun was very pleased to see Germuz defending the Igots so well .

Thus, he was also awarded with a set of legendary equipment and 10 sets of heroic equipment .

“Take these . They will be helpful . ”

"Kuwwwoooh! Thank you . ”

Germuz beamed as he received the legendary equipment .

Kang-jun also visited the continent he had given to Kajel .

However, Kajel was neglecting his duty as he spent his time with beautiful slimes despite there being enemies around .

"What are you doing right now?”

“Ah, ah! L-lord!”

Kajel freaked out . He scratched his head and laughed awkwardly .

"You didn’t see it, but I tried to resolve the problem . I worked hard and this is the first time that I’m neglecting my duty . "

“Hrmm, really?”

Kang-jun immediately read Kajel’s memories .

Kajel’s words were false . It wasn’t just once or twice and Kajel was also harassing the elves of the forests whom he was supposed to protect .

Of course, this was followed by Kang-jun’s complaint .

“You dare lie to me . You are not qualified to act as a guardian . Another guardian will be sent here and you will be moved to hell . ”

“Sob! Lord!”

Thus, Kajel became the first prisoner of the new hell and was punished for neglecting his duty as a guardian .

After Kajel’s punishment, Kang-jun headed to Rujen Continent where Heksia was the protector .

It was smaller than Earth, but it was a world where humans lived .

Magical engineering had been developed and various flying ships were seen in the sky .

There were mana-powered vehicles on the ground and beautiful lights twinkling in the towns and cities .

'It’s a pretty nice place . ’

The natural scenery was excellent enough for him to want to take a break here if he was bored .

However, Heksia wasn’t at the base but underneath the guardian’s castle when Kang-jun appeared .

‘Why is she down there?’

Kang-jun thought it was strange and moved to the place where Heksia was .

‘A dungeon . ’

Mysterious dungeons sometimes existed in the small worlds of Hwanmong .

Heksia had been exploring the dungeon .

However, when Kang-jun found her, she was in a crisis . While fighting against a huge golem, she had gotten badly injured .

“Heksia!”

The bloody Heksia was surprised to suddenly hear a familiar voice . Her expression was pleased as she saw Kang-jun .

“L-lord!”

“What are you doing here?"

"As you can see, I am fighting this enemy . ”

The golem was frozen as though time had stopped . In actuality, Kang-jun had petrified it .

Kang-jun clicked his tongue and restored Heksia to her normal state .

"Is that the grade of a demon king? You should have asked headquarters for help . ”

"I tried but it attacked, so it couldn’t be helped . ”

Heksia recovered instantly from her dying state .

Although, in fact, even if she died, she would resurrect . This was due to an ability that had been given to Kang-jun after he became a supreme sovereign .

However, Kang-jun suddenly raised his head as he looked inside the cave .

‘This aura is?’

At first, he had tried to ignore it, but he could feel a strange energy coming from the cave guarded by the golem .

“Heksia! Wait here for me . ”

Kang-jun immediately entered the cave .
