Chapter 320: Goddess’s Rage (1)

I will dedicate my life to you, Lady Gaia, Kang-Woo answered.

Gaia stroked Kang-Woos hair with a smile filled with parental love.

You do not have to speak so formally. You are now nothing short of my child.

Lady Gaia

For the first time since the primeval chaos, the Protector of Light was born in a way that would never have been imagined by any transcendental being.

Huehuehuehuehue!!

Kang-Woo suppressed his laughter with all his might. He had become a hero that was vouched for by Gaia, a goddess of the top rank! He had never expected to gain such an insane asset.

Congratulations, hyung-nim. Kim Si-Hun grabbed his hand with a bright smile.

Seeing that, Uriel grabbed Kang-Woos other hand and let out a snort.

Rather, its more of a surprise that you werent a Protector until now. You shouldve become a Protector way earlier than this, he grumbled.

Si-Huns eyebrows twitched. It could not have been helped since Lady Gaia was unwell.

He then pulled on Kang-Woos hand that he was holding. It was like having flowers (stamens) in each hand. Kang-Woo frowned.

Stop it, you sons of bitches.

He aggressively shook them off.

Gaia covered a hand over her mouth and let out a hushed giggle. Since the Protector selection is complete, I will get to the main topic at hand.

Yes, Lady Gaia. Kang-Woo nodded.

He was highly interested in what Gaia had to say, and just as worried.

Protector Kim Si-Hun and Oh Kang-Woo, my lovely children. I would like to entrust a very special mission to you two.

Special

Mission?

Kang-Woo and Si-Hun expressed confusion from the sudden proposition.

Gaia nodded. My powers have been partially restored, but As you all know, it is not permanent. In the end At this rate, I will go back to being unable to move an inch like before.

... Yes, we know.

There is a way to delay that process. This does not resolve the fundamental issue either, but It will buy much more time than the previous operation.

Will we be destroying a Rift like last time? Kang-Woo asked.

Gaia slowly shook her head. It is different. No I guess it is not completely different. She then continued with a low tone, I want you two to go to the continent of Aernor to find and destroy the sealed corpse of the Demon God.

Heavy silence fell. Both Kang-Woo and Si-Hun naturally turned agape.

What?

What Gaia had just said was absolutely insane.

Its not like we can just go to Aernor whenever we want.

Kang-Woo had gotten so used to the word Aernor that it no longer sounded like the name of another world. Based on what he had heard from Echidna, it was a classic fantasy world with dragons, fairies, knights and mages.

The only different thing is

The civilization of Aernor was highly advanced. They still had a monarchy, but general civilization was fairly advanced due to the advancements in magic tools.

No, thats not whats important right now.

Kang-Woo quickly raised his head back up. The important point was that Aernor was not on Earth, but was another world entirely.

What Do you mean?

I knew you would be confused. It is only natural, since I told you to go to another world out of nowhere. Gaia nodded with a bitter smile. She then pointed at Uriel and continued, However, I am not sending you to a land that you can never return from. You could say that it is similar to how the Wings of Seraph over there is on Earth right now.

Kang-Woo and Si-Huns faces relaxed slightly.

I guess its something along the lines of going to a foreign country that you cant just come and go however you wish.

Although Aernor was another world, many beings from that world had come to Earth, such as Reynald, Lucis and Lucifer, and Uriel; they were all residents of Aernor.

But even so, another world?

It was definitely not someplace that one could go with light feelings.

... Is there a reason why we absolutely have to go?

If there wasnt, I would not be sending my lovely children to another world. Gaia nodded with a heavy expression. You all may not know this, but Earths protection is not confined just to the star known as Earth. It is deeply intertwined with the protection of the respective stars Aernor and Huan.

Kang-Woo narrowed his eyes. His hypothesis when he had first heard that Seraphs seal was weakening had been confirmed.

The protection of Aernor and Huan have also become unstable due to the impaired protection of Earth, Gaia mentioned.

Is that connected to destroying the corpse of the Demon God?

Gaia nodded. Aernors protection is not as specialized as Earths protection in blocking otherworldly interference; it is more specialized toward stopping the Demon Gods revival. If the Demon Gods corpse is completely destroyed Aernors protection can be used to block otherworldly interference.

Kang-Woo narrowed his eyes again. He more or less understood what Gaia was trying to say.

But

He had two questions.

First, are the protections of each star not being managed by the respective ruling god of each world? Do you have the authority to modify Aernors protection, Lady Gaia?

... Good question. Gaia stared at Kang-Woo in slight surprise. She nodded soon after and answered, Long story short, I do. When Seraph sealed the darkness by sacrificing her Divinity, she passed her authority over to me.

In that case, I have one more question. This one was what Kang-Woo actually did not understand. If there was a way to destroy the Demon Gods corpse, why have you not done it until now?

Even if they were Protectors, they were still only human. Although that was no longer the case now that Kang-Woo had also become a Protector, Gaia did not know that. Asking Kang-Woo and Si-Hun to destroy the Demon Gods corpse that even the gods had no choice but to seal was absurd.

Gaia also answered this question without hesitation, After the Demon Gods corpse on Earth disappeared, Baulis Divinity has become unstable. Now We should be able to annihilate his corpse.

Kang-Woos eyes sharpened.

So thats why he tried to take over my body.

Bauli had tried to get his hands on Kang-Woos body as soon as Kang-Woo absorbed the Demon Gods corpse. If that had been to get his hands on the other portions of his corpse, it made sense for him to have acted so hastily.

In that case

Kang-Woo smirked.

This could be a good opportunity.

Eliminating the Demon Gods corpse was necessary in the sense that he would be eliminating future risk factors in advance.

Theres also the option for me to eat it instead of destroying it, but

Kang-Woo shook his head.

Its far too dangerous.

It was not that he didnt want the enormous demonic energy contained within the Demon Gods corpse, but it was way too risky.

As long as Bauli is within me, I cant eat his corpse.

If he did, Baulis influence would grow bigger and could give him the chance to take over Kang-Woos body. He could obtain immense power by eating the corpse, but at the risk of his body being taken over; it was not even worth considering whether to take that chance or not.

No matter how strong I become

It was meaningless if he would lose control over his body.

I understand. I will go to Aernor with Si-Hun.

H-Hyung-nim. Si-Hun looked at Kang-Woo in bewilderment.

Kang-Woo calmly continued, However, it is far too dangerous for just us two to go by ourselves. We need more help.

I will leave it entirely to you two to choose who to take with you. My incarnation will also join you. It will be difficult for me to manifest through her like I am now, but I will be able to assist you through revelations.

Kang-Woo nodded. When will we be departing?

For you to cross through Aernors protection without receiving any form of restrictions, it will take about half a year. I would like you to train to grow stronger until then.

Understood.

Half a year It was a long yet short amount of time.

Its a bit later than Id expected.

Kang-Woo wanted to eliminate the risk factor that was Bauli as soon as possible, but it could not be helped.

Hyung-nim Si-Hun called out to him anxiously.

Sorry for deciding without consulting you, Si-Hun.

Not at all. I was planning on following whatever you decided on. But Si-Hun asked in worry, What will happen to Earth while were gone?

I will take care of that, Gaia declared strongly. Now that Earths protection has been restored, I will not let otherworldly beings do as they wish on Earth.

Fwoooom.

Great power flowed out from Gaia.

Although my incarnation will be with you all I am not as powerless as I have been before.

There was nothing more reassuring than the declaration of a goddess with top-rank Divinity.

Oh Kang-Woo No, my lovely child. Thank you for accepting my unreasonable request. Gaia approached Kang-Woo while smiling gently. May your path be filled with the blessing of li

As she was expressing her best wishes to Kang-Woo while caressing his cheek, her expression slightly crumpled.

She mumbled with a hint of hesitancy in her words, What? Why?

Her voice was filled with confusion. Kang-Woo stared at her in wonder of what was going on, but flinched after hearing her mumbles.

Why are there traces of demonic energy

...!

Kang-Woos eyes widened.

Fuck.

He was fucked. He clenched his chest without hesitation and collapsed on the spot.

Kurgh! Cough, cough!

H-Hyung-nim?!

Si-Hun quickly ran up to him.

Kang-Woo, could you be

Uriels eyes shook. His expression stiffened after approaching to see Kang-Woo collapsed on the ground. He was used to seeing such a scene.

Shit, shit!! It still hasnt disappeared yet?! Uriel shed tears while shouting.

He put his hands on Kang-Woos chest and poured sacred power into him. Kang-Woo, who had been seizing up, gradually relaxed.

Wh-What is going on, Wings of Seraph? Gaia asked with a trembling voice.

Uriel answered sorrowfully with his head lowered, This is Rakiels doing.

What? Gaias eyes widened.

Kang-Woo hurriedly extended his arm as if to shut Uriel up.

L-Lord Uriel Dont

... Im sorry, Kang-Woo. I cant hide it any longer.

Uriel revealed the secret that only he and Kang-Woo knew, about what Rakiel had done to Kang-Woos body in the two weeks that Kang-Woo had been captured by him.

A-Aaaahh, Gaia shook.

Crack. The ground she was standing on split.

How How dare he

Rumble!!

The entire Hall of Protection shook.

Crackle!

The power of the enraged goddess distorted space itself.

How dare the mere Constellation of Corruption lay a hand on my child?!

The rage of Gaia, the goddess in charge of one of the worlds of the Triad, pointed toward the Constellation of Corruption.
