The Celestial Returned From Hell

Can’t you get out of here?!

In the Abyss, the constellations who suffered a crushing defeat were significantly more obnoxious than the constellation who did the hitting.

Despite being severely injured, the treasure house constellation radiated anger.

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ admits that he had once held a grudge against the ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training.’]

[But now they are allies. He says this is because the Master of Slowness and Silence is a more dangerous opponent than anyone else.]

‘I don’t think this will convince anyone,’ Choi Yeonseung thought to himself after listening to the chef. Constellations, being arrogant gods who only cared about themselves, were difficult to persuade on such matters.

If anything, trying to convince them would only serve to anger them even more.

Calm down, treasure house constellation.

At that, the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House composed himself slightly and replied, Thief of my kingdom, what are you saying?

That...That is true.

The treasure house constellation couldn’t help agreeing. Indeed, mortals didn’t really listen. In fact, his household members in this realm were the same. Valtor had seemed like a fine goblin ruler at first, but then he switched sides for some reason…

Come to think of it, that was also your doing!

I sincerely apologize. That household member of mine is very hard working. He never stops. I myself didn’t want the household member of another constellation. I also have pride. Why would I do such a thing?

‘He’s so shameless.’

The goddess of sloth couldn’t help admiring Choi Yeonseung’s act. Even among the oldest constellations, few were as brazen as him. It was almost to the point of having no conscience!

-But Successor, I don’t think you can just convince the treasure house constellation like that…

The goddess of sloth was nonetheless skeptical. Some constellations could be reasoned with either rationally or emotionally, but the treasure house constellation couldn’t be persuaded.

What could one say to a constellation who had suffered a crushing defeat and lost his kingdom?

Even if Choi Yeonseung calmly explained that this was all because of the Master of Slowness and Silence, the treasure house constellation wouldn’t listen. It also wouldn’t help if he appealed to his emotions and said, “Yes, it’s a stroke of bad luck…”

-I also know that.

-Aha.

The goddess of sloth nodded knowingly.

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ is curious about what she has realized.]

-He’s trying to trick the opponent.

Although Choi Yeonseung couldn’t possibly persuade the treasure house constellation, he could pretend to try to persuade him! He would try to reassure his opponent before unleashing a surprise attack!

The treasure house constellation had lost his kingdom and had been seriously injured by the Master of Slowness and Silence.

One of the rules of the Abyss was to never give a fallen constellation room to breathe.

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ is taken aback by your plan!]

[But she supports you because it is necessary for the sake of the goal.]

-What…? No, I’ll just try to talk to him…

-Oh….

The goddess of sloth was embarrassed.

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ angrily asks what is going on.]

‘Well, I can also be wrong.’

The goddess of sloth pretended not to hear it.

In any case, was there really a way for Choi Yeonseung to reason with the treasure house constellation?

Greedy Owner of the Treasure House, I can prove to you that I am being sincere.

How so? the treasure house constellation asked bluntly. No matter what his opponent said, he wasn’t willing to listen or believe him. In fact, he had made it clear that he had no intention of joining forces with the Undefeated Incarnation of Training despite having been beaten by the Master of Slowness and Silence.

To be honest, he strongly felt that those two were the same.

If you fight against the Master of Slowness and Silence with me, I will give you back your kingdom.

!!!

It wasn’t just the treasure house constellation; all the other constellations that were listening were surprised.

-Don’t you think it’s a waste?

[The ‘Warrior With a Hammer’ asks if it is necessary to bring in the ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House.’]

[He says that the ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’ is weakened from the injury and isn’t that strong in combat.]

Can’t you shut up?

The treasure house constellation was indignant. The other constellations had offered sincere advice, but this was an insult to his name.

Indeed, the treasure house constellation tended to avoid fighting, but still!

‘It’s a waste of a kingdom.’

Choi Yeonseung agreed with the Warrior With a Hammer.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ doesn’t care about the land of the kingdom, but giving away the treasures is indeed a waste…]

-No,I’m not talking about treasures.

The cat constellation was also flustered.

-I was referring to the many mortals in his kingdom.

-Vampires and goblins aren’t that fascinating…

The goddess of sloth was puzzled. Come to think of it, the variety of Abyssal races in Choi Yeonseung’s realm was more bizarre than the one in this kingdom.

-...No, I think this is good enough.

-Yes.I’m sorry about those mortals.As for the treasures...

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says that if you don’t need it, you can ask for the treasures for others.]

Choi Yeonseung ignored the cat constellation’s grumbling and continued.

-But if I want to attract constellations, I need to invest this much.

-Is the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House worth it?

The goddess of sloth posed the same question as the others.

-I’m not talking about treasures or the constellation himself.

-?

-I mean the other remaining constellations.If the treasure house constellation stands on my side, the other constellations will also be inclined to join.

The chef constellation was on Choi Yeonseung’s side, but he didn’t make for great publicity by himself. Moreover, the chef constellation harbored such intense resentment toward the Master of Slowness and Silence that there was a high possibility that other constellations wouldn’t listen to him.

But what if the treasure house constellation was also on Choi Yeonseung’s side?

Even the evil god constellations, who were always wary of the good god constellations being up to something, would sense that something was wrong when good and evil god constellations joined forces like that.

They would start to suspect that the Master of Slowness and Silence was plotting something!

He was silent and never made his presence known, but at the end of the day, evil god constellations were envious of those who were stronger and better than them.

The others had to carry some sort of grudges against the Master of Slowness and Silence. And if those grudges were to grow more intense and explode…

-We can fight a tag-team battle!

-We can beat him up like a dog in the street!

-...Let’s call it a tag-team battle.

-Yes.Anything is fine.

Choi Yeonseung admitted that the Master of Slowness and Silence was a formidable opponent—his ancient age, his overflowing power of existence, his subordinates and the realms he controlled, all those things made him a frightening constellation.

Other constellations would acknowledge him due to their pride, but Choi Yeonseung was different. After all, he had started as a human being; he had been in the position of the weak. In order to overcome the opponent, he had to be realistic and acknowledge his strength. That way, he could find a way to break through that strength.

-But it’s such a waste.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says it is really a waste...]

-Enough already…

Choi Yeonseung silenced the other constellations. It wasn’t like he didn’t consider forfeiting the kingdom unfortunate, but the others were making him feel bad for no reason.

...I think I misunderstood you, the treasure house constellation finally said after pondering Choi Yeonseung’s offer for a while.

I thought you were deceiving and mocking me. I thought you were acting like the Master of Slowness and Silence, lying that your household members had acted on their own. I thought I couldn’t work with such a constellation, even if it meant losing all my treasures...

‘Wha…? This bastard is sharper than I thought…’

How did he know?

But a constellation like that wouldn’t make me such a generous offer. I shall accept!

“!”

However, the moment the treasure house constellation agreed to join forces, Choi Yeonseung regretted agreeing to forfeit the kingdom.

-What did I say?

-I was fine with it initially, but now I feel like this because you guys kept pushing!

But there is no need for the kingdom.

“!?”

I will recover my lost treasures myself from the hands of the Master of Slowness and Silence. I won’t take charity from the constellations who will fight alongside me.

[The ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’ is truly impressed by your suggestion.]

[The realm of ■■ vibrates with your achievements.]

[Your power of existence has become purer!]

[...]

‘I still don’t know what’s up with that realm…’

Choi Yeonseung frowned. The Seed of the Realm had finally sprouted and grown, but it had turned into the Realm of ■■, which Choi Yeonseung knew nothing about.

Of course, as a constellation, possessing more realms meant being stronger, so it wasn’t like Choi Yeonseung wasn’t happy about it. But the unknown was nonetheless a source of worry.

Just what realm was it?

‘Justice? Persuasion? Cooperation? Cause?’

-Extortion or looting... would be too simple, right?

[The ‘Warrior With a Hammer’ is surprised because he didn’t think the ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’ would accept the offer.]

[He remarks that it is truly incredible that a greedy constellation like him is capable of forfeiting his greed.]

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ genuinely admires you for being able to convince this imbecile that only knows his own treasures.]

‘Yeah, thank you guys… But I hope you’ll manage to shut up in front of him…’

Given what the other constellations were saying, it would be understandable if the treasure house constellation immediately broke the alliance and attacked them.

***

The next constellation that Choi Yeonseung tried to persuade was the Goddess of Pleasure and Lust.

Now that he had conquered the Fourth Kingdom of the Greedy Owner of the Treasure House, he needed to get the Goddess of Pleasure and Lust, who was in charge of the Fifth Kingdom, to cooperate with him.

Normally, it would’ve been pointless to negotiate with her, but the Master of Slowness and Silence was currently wielding an iron fist against the others.

There was a chance Choi Yeonseung could convince her.

[The ‘Goddess of Pleasure and Lust’ responds by telling you not to talk nonsense.]

[She says that any persuasion or intimidation would be meaningless against her.]

[The ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’ shouts to listen to him.]

[He explains that the ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ is after you...]

[The ‘Goddess of Pleasure and Lust’ says she knows that much.]

[She says there is no need to worry because she isn’t a silly child like that treasure guy, and she has no intention of being treated like one.]

[Rather, she points out that he doesn’t know the dangers of joining forces with other constellations.]

......

‘...’

Choi Yeonseung could feel the treasure house constellation trembling with rage.

Goddess, aren’t our household members already working together?

Choi Yeonseung tried to persuade her, and his argument wasn’t entirely wrong. The goddess’ subordinates were staying at Choi Yeonseung’s mansion and trying to settle the contract they had made last time.

Of course, it seemed like they were after Choi Yeonseung’s desires more than anything else, but…

[The ‘Goddess of Pleasure and Lust’ says not to be mistaken.]

[You can’t convince her just because you get along with her household members...]

-Master, I think you need to take care of the problem on Earth first! Humans are making a fuss about this Abyss raid! They’re howling and looking for you, Master!

The urgent message came from Odaigon.

With this, Choi Yeonseung stopped trying to convince the goddess. He had to deal with the urgent matter first.

-Alright,I’m coming!

[...]

The Goddess of Pleasure and Lust was taken aback by Choi Yeonseung’s sudden disappearance. Even though she had refused, how come he had given up that easily…?

[The ‘Goddess of Pleasure and Lust’ shouts to listen to the answer to the end!]

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ is cursing her not to be arrogant since she is going to reject it anyway.]

[The ‘Greedy Owner of the Treasure House’ curses that they have no need for someone as insolent and arrogant as you.]
