The Celestial Returned From Hell

Uwaaah!Hiccup…Hiccup!

“...”

Even when he fought a constellation who ruled a kingdom several times bigger than his and had lived for thousands of years, Choi Yeonseung showed no fear.

But now he was afraid.

-Goddess of sloth...

The moment Choi Yeonseung called for her, the goddess of sloth covered her ears and lay down, pretending not to hear. What advice could she possibly give in this situation?

There was no advice.

-Goddess of sloth, I know you’re listening…

-I don't have anything to say...!

Meanwhile, the crying of the observer constellation grew louder and louder. As if to express her unstable emotions, the surrounding chill soared to the extreme and created ice.

Unfortunately, the Goddess of Pleasure and Lust was nearby, and the biting cold sank deep into her being. She was being punished for no reason.

Ghh… Agh... Sto... Stop… her...

Despite her plea, none of the constellations paid attention to her. They were all focused on the observer constellation.

-Chef constellation?

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ tells you to ask the ‘Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’.]

-Manipulator constellation?

[The ‘Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ tells you to ask the ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’...]

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ tells you to ask the ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’.]

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ waves his hands in a flustered manner! He says he can’t help with such things!]

-Ugh, I feel like punching every single one of them…

Choi Yeonseung realized that the constellations weren’t going to help at all. There was only one thing he could do at this moment, which was to try his best to pacify the observer constellation.

‘Kill her now! Kill her now!’

The Goddess of Pleasure and Lust wanted to scream those words as Choi Yeonseung slowly approached Illeya, no, the observer constellation.

“Observer constellation…”

The observer constellation stopped sobbing and looked up at Choi Yeonseung.

“Thank you so much for what you have done so far,” Choi Yeonseung said in a serious voice, “before and after I became a constellation. I wouldn’t be standing here if I hadn’t received all of your help.”

...If you are so grateful, why choose that goddess?

“Some things are predetermined by fate, regardless of one’s intentions. For example, I couldn’t have known what would happen to the people around me when I left Earth. Also, many people had gone missing in the Abyss, and I was the only one who returned… I didn’t understand why those things had to happen, but in the end, I learned to make my peace with it.”

In fact, after Choi Yeonseung returned to Earth, there were many things that made no sense to him. At times, he wanted to unleash his anger by gathering all the people involved and throwing them from high-rise buildings.

However, he didn’t do that. In the end, despite his anger and indignation, he realized he just had to accept some things.

So you want me to just accept it?

“No.” Choi Yeonseung shook his head and continued, “I’m not telling you to accept it. I’m just saying that’s what I did. Instead of letting anger consume me, I… I decided to accept how things were and do what I had to do.”

The Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead was moved to tears as she realized that the mortal she had chosen back then had become a greater constellation than others.

“I respect and admire you, so I think it would be nice if you could do so. But if you don’t accept it... I can’t help that either.”

‘Is he finally going to kill her?’

The Goddess of Pleasure and Lust’s expression was full of anticipation. If the observer constellation kept her stance until the end, this weak constellation would kill her.

She could get her revenge!

Sweet revenge!

Having finished speaking, Choi Yeonseung stood in front of the observer constellation and waited for an answer.

...I lost.You’re right.Sometimes I just have to accept how things are… rather than raging in an unsightly manner and causing trouble.

The observer constellation waved her hand, and with that, the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead was released from the ice prison.

Choi Yeonseung wanted to run to check on her, but the goddess of sloth stopped him.

-You’ve finally managed to calm the observer constellation down. Don’t provoke her again!

The most important position is occupied by a naive and foolish constellation who did nothing...Yes.I have to accept that.

......

The Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead was slightly hurt by that.

No matter what, saying that to her face was too much!

I apologize for what I did this time.

...I can forget about it as long as you help us fight the Master of Slowness and Silence.

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ applauds the reconciliation of the two constellations.]

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ is touched because he had no idea you could persuade her like this.]

Except for the Goddess of Pleasure and Lust, all the other constellations seemed impressed and happy with this outcome. After all, none of them had expected Choi Yeonseung to actually manage to reason with the observer constellation.

His success had also given them a great boost of confidence.

They would certainly manage to deal with the Master of Slowness and Silence!

[The ‘Sixth Abyss Kingdom’ has become yours.]

With that, Choi Yeonseung felt a great surge in his power of existence.

No one would be able to deny it…

Based on his power of existence alone, Choi Yeonseung was now among the five strongest constellations on Earth!

[The ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ is staring at you.]

[He slowly says that he didn’t expect humans to make it in front of the gate.]

[He slowly urges you to stop being noisy and restless.]

The declaration was utterly arrogant, but the Master of Slowness and Silence had conveyed it with no real emotion, if only with a slight hint of irritation.

It was similar to how the goddess of sloth usually expressed herself.

-Hey, I don’t think I’m that bad…

Although he had never had a long talk with the Master of Slowness and Silence, Choi Yeonseung felt like he had come to understand his mentality. There were no personal feelings involved; this constellation just wanted to quietly stop Earth.

“If you don’t like noise and people being busy, why don’t you give up the gate and go back to the Abyss?”

The Master of Slowness and Silence didn’t answer Choi Yeonseung’s question. All he could think about was quietly stopping this noisy, hectic planet.

[The Seventh Kingdom arrives on Earth.]

Instead of waiting in place, the kingdom of the Master of Slowness and Silence came directly to Earth. Naturally, its power was unimaginable.

***

The first change was felt by satellites.

-What?What is this?

-Suddenly...

GPS systems, which relied on satellites, had suddenly gone haywire.

Ever since the gate had appeared on Earth, various things had started malfunctioning more often because of the abnormalities caused by various dungeons and monsters. However, it had never been this bad.

-Satellites are crashing!!

-What are you talking about?Check it properly!

Emergency communications were being held all around the world. It wasn’t just government agencies that were affected; the satellites launched by private companies were malfunctioning as well.

As their speed slowed down, the satellites couldn’t withstand Earth’s pull and eventually deviated from their orbit.

-The plane suddenly...

-Make an emergency landing!The plane is losing altitude right now!

-Did the engine shut down?

-All engines are fine!

After the satellites crashed, planes were next to be affected by this strange phenomenon, gradually losing their speed and crashing. Some pilots managed to make emergency landings, but the majority weren’t as fortunate.

Not even half an hour had passed.

Human household members urgently reported on the situation through shared communication lines.

-The Master of Slowness and Silence has shown his true colors!

-What are you talking about?The evil god constellations who were involved in the first invasion shouldn’t be able to attack due to the agreement, right?

-I don’t know what’s going on... But the one behind this attack is definitely the Master of Slowness and Silence!

-What are the constellations doing?An evil god constellation is coming forward. They must stop him!

-The power of the Master of Slowness and Silence is greater than expected...I don’t think the other constellations can attack him right now...

Everything was slowing down. It was only the shocking information that still traveled relatively quickly.

-Flights are suspended because of the influence of the Master of Slowness and Silence...Indefinitely postponed...

-Shipping logistics has completely stopped.An emergency in the logistics department... How strong is the Master of Slowness and Silence?

-This slowing disease is said to have a stronger impact the closer one is to its source… Some A-grade hunters are trying to withstand it with the help of the constellations, but they’re having little success.

People were appalled by the rapidly spreading news. Everyone had come to believe that evil god constellations would be the cause of Earth’s demise. However, no one had imagined such a slow and silent apocalypse.

They had imagined scenes of fire, blood, destruction, with hordes of monsters killing everyone. No one had thought that the end of the world would come about in such a chilling silence.

The more powerful hunters out there, or those who had contracts with constellations, could fight off this disease of slowness, but it was spreading on such a wide scale that they couldn’t do that much.

Even if the people held out, the slowdown of various equipment would cripple modern civilization. Signs of ruination were already apparent, as the sea and the sky were obstructed.

***

“...”

The atmosphere felt like that of a mourning hall. It wasn’t simply because they were astonished by the power of the Master of Slowness and Silence.

In the Abyss, five constellations had attacked the Master of Slowness and Silence and faced defeat.

‘This...’

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ is shocked by the power of the opponent.]

It was clear to every constellation that the Master of Slowness and Silence was strong. After all, he was one of the most important constellations on Earth.

With that being said, the full extent of his strength remained unknown. It was only natural, given that he had been quietly maintaining his position without getting involved in conflicts. Because of that, the constellations who weren’t aware of his plot were bewildered and issued warnings.

[The ‘Wind of Endless Love’ is wondering what you are doing right now...]

[The ‘Judge Who Defies Death’ warns you that you will be attacked by other constellations.]

The constellations naively believed that these warnings would resolve the situation, and they ended up getting crushed by the Master of Slowness and Silence.

Other constellations got extremely angry with his behavior and tried to attack him as well, but…

The result was disastrous.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ calmly remarks that thanks to this, we can accurately assess the strength of the opponent.]

Thanks to the sacrifice of those naive constellations, the others had managed to grasp how powerful their opponent really was.

His strength was on a different level!

-How much power has he managed to accumulate…?!

The goddess of sloth was also astonished. The Master of Slowness and Silence had been around ever since her years of activity, but she couldn’t explain how he had managed to develop his power of existence to this extent.

She genuinely had no idea how they could deal with such a constellation.

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ says we have no choice but to target his territory.]

The chef constellation came to his senses and suggested a course of action, to which Choi Yeonseung nodded.

“If we take away the territories of the Master of Slowness and Silence...”

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ suggests disposing of all the souls in the realms of the Master of Slowness and Silence.]

“...We can’t do that, obviously.” Choi Yeonseung was shaken for a moment before regaining his focus.
