Hell's Handbook

Chapter 406

Natasha was the straight talking type, and that was also probably why she was quick to get things done. Su Jin didn’t even get the chance to look at her castle before Natasha had decided to begin her last step to becoming a god.

“What do we need to do?” asked Durand.

Natasha glanced at her own Handbook, then said to the other three men, “The Handbook has told me that these foreign owners will arrive in four groups and will arrive outside of a 100-kilometer radius from here, so the castle is safe for the time being.”

“My folks will come together to guard one region, but I’ll have to count on the three of you for the three remaining regions.” Natasha put a map in front of them and pointed to the three areas she was talking about. “I don’t have any defense structures or systems in place in these three areas, so I’ll leave them to you guys.”

Su Jin laughed and said, “My, my, you really trust us!”

“I don’t really have a choice. The difference in power between owners at different ranks is vastly different. Any one of you would be way stronger than my entire army put together, and I’m actually still not completely certain that they’d be fine even with all my defense mechanisms in place. So, I’ll have to count on the three of you for the other three areas,” said Natasha with a worried look on her face.

“No problem. Since we’re here, we definitely have to help. We’ll need your help in the future too,” said Durand as he laughed heartily.

Natasha nodded. She had promised to help the rest in the future too, so she didn’t try to avoid imposing too much on them. She pointed to the western front and said to Durand, “I’ll leave this area to you. Guards! Please bring Mr. Durand to the western front!”

A guard came to Durand and stretched his arm politely toward the door. Durand said to Oscar and Su Jin, “I’m off then!”

The two men nodded and he left. “The northern front has a lot of skyscrapers and the like, so there are many areas covered in shadows. I think it’ll be the best place for you to use your skills to the maximum!” said Natasha as she looked at Oscar.

Oscar smiled and nodded, “Sounds good to me!”

“That’s great! Guards! Send Mr. Oscar to the north, please!” said Natasha.

Another guard appeared. Oscar nodded at Su Jin, then left with the guard.

Natasha looked at Su Jin, then said, “The eastern front has the largest point of entry. This was originally a port, so to make it easy for trading, I did not put up defense mechanisms in this area, so it’s possible that a lot of enemies might choose to come in from here. I’ll have to leave this section for you!”

“Wait, seriously? Wouldn’t it be better to leave this section to Durand? He’s the strongest among us, isn’t he?” Su Jin was in disbelief.

Natasha smiled and said, “He’s the strongest? I don’t think so. I think the strongest among us is you! Mr. Su, we might become stronger than you after we attain godhood, but for now… I’m really nowhere near your level.”

“Oh? You’ve sensed something?” Su Jin smiled. Natasha was the genius of their era, after all, since she was about to become the owner who would attain godhood first. He had concealed a lot of his powers already, but the three other owners had still managed to sense it. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

It wasn’t because they had sensed his actual ability, but because they couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear and reverence when they met with Su Jin. The presence Su Jin commanded was not one that could be attained through becoming more powerful or by working hard to improve oneself. It seemed more like something he innately possessed.

“So, I’ll leave the eastern front to you,” said Natasha grimly.

Su Jin had come all the way here because he was willing to help, so he was also willing to go with what she had arranged for him. He nodded slightly and Natasha called for another guard to bring him to where he was supposed to be stationed.

After Su Jin left, Natasha narrowed her eyes slightly. She was going to be the first one among earthlings to attempt to reach godhood. She believed that if she succeeded, she would stand to gain enough to justify this tough process. But… what were her chances of success? She had no idea. She only knew that she was taking a huge risk. Even though she had done her best to prep herself for it, her chances were probably really low. But she still wanted to try. She knew she couldn’t remain where she was right now. If she didn’t even give it a shot, she might only become a mid-tier god. It would be impossible to reach the top.

“Humph, I’m just going to give it a shot. After all, I’ve been doing that ever since I was selected to be an owner. This is something I’m supposed to be good at doing!” murmured Natasha to herself.

Meanwhile, Su Jin had arrived at his destination. Like what Natasha said, this was a port. But the port facilities had already been completely demolished. That way, it would be harder for any attackers to sneak in. So, it wasn’t true that Natasha had done nothing to prepare this area at all.

“Sir, do you need anything?” asked the guard out of the blue.

“Huh? What do you mean?” Su Jin wasn’t sure what the guard was referring to.

“Oh, I’m just thinking that it’s hard to say when the enemies will be coming, so I wondered if you needed anything to kill time. We have good wine, good food, pretty women… as long as you need something, I can get it for you right now,” said the guard in a very respectful voice.

Su Jin nearly burst out laughing. This was definitely the good part about having absolute control over the world. But he shook his head and said, “No need for any of that, it’s best that you remain as far from this place as possible. In fact… make sure nobody comes near this area. If anyone dares to come too close, they’ll have to bear the consequences!”

“Yes, sir!” The guard nodded, then disappeared within seconds. It didn’t take long for Su Jin to sense that the lifeforms near him were retreating quickly. The guard had clearly relayed his instructions to everyone in the area and they moved immediately.

“How efficient!” Su Jin couldn’t help but compliment the system. Not even an extremely high ranking government official like Situ Jin could possibly get this done. You had to have absolute control over the world like Natasha did.

Su Jin had prepared the battleground already, so all that was left to do was wait. He sat at the gigantic and wide jetty that was in front of the vast ocean and covered the area with his psychokinesis. Actually, if he really wanted to, he could cover the entire planet with his psychokinesis. But he wasn’t the only person in charge of defending this world, so he didn’t have to work so hard.

He sat there quietly and his eyes looked glazed over, like he wasn’t focusing at all. But if you looked closely, you would notice a silver glint flash from time to time, like a sudden burst of lightning in the silent, dark universe.

Time slowly ticked by, and finally, actual thunder resounded behind him. That blast was so loud that Su Jin couldn’t help but break his statue-like state and turn around. A huge black cloud had gathered above the top of the castle and a golden glow flickered nonstop.

“What the… this is like a scene out of a cultivation novel!” Su Jin was rather surprised. The cloud was billowing really fiercely, and resembled the ones described in cultivation novels that appeared when a character was about to hit the immortal stage.

“Aha! They’re here!” Just then, Su Jin’s psychokinesis detected the presence of several formidable characters. These sources of life had appeared very suddenly, as though they had come from absolutely nowhere. Only Hell’s Handbook could have made such a thing happen.

Su Jin remained seated without moving, but light had returned to his gaze. He smiled as he murmured, “I’m looking forward to seeing if these owners from other universes are truly powerful enough!”

“Wow, they’re moving really quickly,” Su Jin nodded slightly. A total of five powerful sources of energy were moving toward him at an astonishing speed.

Woong! Woong! Woong!

Shortly after he had spoken, a silver beam flashed nonstop behind him all of a sudden. He looked a little surprised and turned to mumble at the silver beam, “Suddenly speeding up? Trying to break through the wall I’ve built around this place? That’s a good idea, but you guys are too weak to actually succeed!”

He looked into the distance to see five figures struggling with the silver beam. The silver beam was obviously Su Jin’s psychokinesis. He hadn’t been sitting here and doing nothing. He had used his psychokinesis to form an invisible wall, making him look like a sitting duck.

The five figures quickly broke free from the silver beam. His psychokinesis was powerful, but these owners were a force to be reckoned with too. Even if the Demon Lord were here, she might not be able to take them down so easily!
