Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Punishment of Time (2)

At that time, Han Yeon-soo spoke with a sullen expression,

“I didn’t want to hassle you while you were busy in Hwanmong, so I tried to tell Shakan. However, I couldn’t get in touch with him. I couldn’t even call Hayun.”

In fact, she had tried to discuss the issue with Shakan.

Not long ago, Shakan had appeared in front of her. He had told her that Kang-jun was busy in Hwanmong and she should call him regarding any problems related to Earth.

Han Yeon-soo had been shocked at the time.

She had joined Shakan’s camp to fight in the war against Keljark’s side, so she had been beyond surprised after meeting him on Earth.

She had learnt that not only was he a friend of Kang-jun but that he also owned a pork belly store near Seoul University.

Even more remarkably, one of the guests that often went there to eat meat had been Keljark.

As Han Yeon-soo stared at her in disbelief, Keljark had simply laughed and placed a pork wrapped in lettuce into her mouth.

She had told Han Yeon-soo, “I am living quietly, so pretend you don’t know.”

Han Yeon-soo had agreed. She had been surprised that Shakan and Keljark were friends as well as the fact that Keljark was friends with Kang-jun.

Anyway, Han Yeon-soo felt that some of the burden on her was lifted after learning that the two transcendents, Shakan and Keljark, were guarding Earth. However, strangely, Shakan hadn’t been seen since yesterday. She couldn’t reach him at all. She had gone to the chicken house run by Keljark, but they weren’t there.

It was the same for Hayun.

In the end, she gave up and reported it to Kang-jun. Kang-jun laughed bitterly.

“Something has happened. They’ll be back soon, so don’t worry.”

Kang-jun wasn’t worried about the unidentified beings attacking Earth. As soon as he heard Han Yeon-soo’s words, he opened his chaos ability and found traces of them.

There was one stronger existence among them. They were stronger than an awakened dragon but far distant from a transcendent.

Therefore, there was nothing for Kang-jun to feel tense about.

He said with a laugh,

“I’ll handle the invaders, so don’t worry any more. You must have gone through a lot of trouble worrying about this alone.”

She was so touched that tears formed.

“It is hard work, but it is my natural duty. By the way, have you eaten Lord?”

“I’m not hungry.”

“Hayun will be sad if you miss meals.”

Han Yeon-soo no longer cared about Earth’s safety as her lord said that he would handle the problem.

She knew that Kang-jun was stronger than a transcendent, so she now felt pity towards the unidentified beings.

“I am happy to cook.”

“I appreciate it, but it isn’t needed.”

He had always eaten the food Hayun had packed. Suddenly, a bunch of dishes made by Hayun, which were being stored in the Skia space, popped into his head.

Hayun’s Beans Sprout Soup x13.

Hayun’s Pollack Soup x 11.

Hayun’s Bowl of Rice x82.

Hayun’s Ramyun x30.

······

He chose the ramyun. Of course, the ramyun was a finished dish.

Eating a bowl of it recovered his health, but the effects of such buffs were now meaningless.

He just ate it whenever he wanted to.

Once he saw the dishes, his appetite reappeared.

‘Yes. I’ll have one bowl of ramyun.’

A bowl of ramyun immediately appeared before Kang-jun.

“Wah! This is?”

Han Yeon-soo’s eyes widened with surprise. Of course, she wasn’t surprised because something had suddenly popped out of the Skia space.

The Skia was a present that she had given to Kang-jun.

Her eyes widened because she guessed who had cooked it.

It was the same Hayun’s cooking but placed in another dimension.

“Hayun made this.”

“Do you want to eat?”

“If you want to give it to me, then of course.”

Kang-jun pulled out another bowl with ease and handed it to Han Yeon-soo.

“Thank you, Lord.”

Han Yeon-soo exclaimed with an earnest expression. Kang-jun brought a table and chairs up to the roof to make it easier to eat.

Additionally, kimchi couldn’t be forgotten.

“Please enjoy, Lord.”

“Thank you. It is good to not dine alone.”

Kang-jun was about to raise the chopsticks to his mouth when he frowned suddenly.

When he thought about it, there was one thing he needed to do first.

Suuk.

Immediately, a bizarre form was summoned near Kang-jun and Han Yeon-soo.

It was approximately three meters in height.

Its whole body was made of metal with two eyes embedded in its head, like blue jewels.

“Who are you?”

Kang-jun asked the creature. At that moment, it flinched and trembled. It was shocked by the unexpected situation and stared at Kang-jun with fright.

“Amazing. There is a person who can summon me forcibly. Was there such a presence on Earth?”

It was an unknown alien language, but Kang-jun heard it as Korean.

Kang-jun smiled coldly.

“Then?”

“I am Kiradak from the Valles Planet. I came to Earth to conquer it, but I didn’t know there was a presence like you here. If I had known, I would have never come to Earth.”

Kiradak was perplexed as he showed no sign of confidence in his abilities. Kang-jun smiled coldly.

“You are trying to trick me. Tell me who is behind this. I can feel that there is someone behind you who gave you this idea.”

“……!”

Kiradak was surprised. In fact, the ruler of the Valles Planet hadn’t even known there was a planet called Earth.

They were a civilization that combined magic and machinery.

Then the magicians, who had been studying magic, managed to open a dimensional door and a being they couldn’t afford to offend emerged.

The name of the god was Lepris.

All the people on the planet, including Kiradak, treated Lepris as a god from then on.

Kiradak had accepted Lepris’ order to invade Earth.

As soon as a strange light emitted from Kang-jun’s eyes, Kiradak spoke about everything he knew.

No, it was some kind of transfer that wasn’t spoken out loud.

The knowledge was transmitted to Kang-jun’s head like a digital file.

He now knew the coordinates of the Valles Planet as well as their magical knowledge.

‘So, the one behind it is called Lepris. Is he a demonic god?’

However, a demonic god wouldn’t do something as childish as sending troops to invade the planet.

They would come and devour Earth themselves.

If Lepris was a demonic god, Earth would have already disappeared without a trace.

‘Well, I’ll see once I go there.’

Kang-jun cut off Kiradak’s ring finger which was tied to Lepris.

Kiradak was shocked. He had always felt the presence of Lepris who controlled his mind.

He had taken it for granted that Lepris was a god, but Kang-jun let him discover that he was mistaken.

At that time, Kang-jun glanced at Kiradak and exclaimed,

“Kiradak! Regardless of the reason, you tried to attack Earth. If I wasn’t here, Earth would have been destroyed by you. Therefore, my punishment is to turn the Valles Planet into ashes.”

Kiradak trembled and begged,

“P-please forgive me. Vent your anger against me as I am the ruler. Just please, leave the Valles Planet alone…”

Kang-jun was silent for a moment. They had come to Earth with the intention to destroy it, so it was right that he destroy theirs.

However, Earth hadn’t been touched yet. They had been caught by Kang-jun before the crime.

At that moment, Kang-jun’s personality as a sovereign fired up again. He had made demon kings join his household, so there was no reason why he couldn’t acquire the ruler of an alien planet.

Moreover, Kiradak’s power was quasi-transcendent!

He was above an awakened dragon who, until now, could be called Kang-jun’s strongest subordinate.

It was because Shakan and Keljark were friends, rather than household members.

“Then join my household and swear your eternal loyalty to me.”

“I will accept. I will serve Lord along with the Valles Planet.”

Thus, Kiradak, the ruler of Valles Planet which was far from Earth, joined Kang-jun’s household.

At that moment, Han Yeon-soo spoke,

“Lord, the ramyun is getting cold.”

“I’ll be back soon, so just wait a moment.”

Kang-jun boarded Kiradak’s ship.

It was a huge space warship with advanced technology that couldn’t be detected by earth’s current science.

There were dozens of similar warships waiting near Mars.

It wasn’t unreasonable for them to be able to take control of Earth. Kang-jun had absorbed Kiradak’s knowledge, so he knew this well.

‘If they knew these ships were here, Earth would be turned upside down.’

Once again, ignorance was bliss.

That was the truth.

Anyway, everything that threatened the planet had now become Kang-jun’s property.

‘If this knowledge is given to Earth, there would be a golden age.’

However, that was something to think about in the future.

“Move to Valles Planet.”

“Yes, Lord.”

Upon receiving Kang-jun’s order, Kiradak warped all of the warships to a point near Valles Planet.

The size of Valles was similar to Earth.

“Lepris will be in the temple, Lord.”

Kang-jun headed toward the temple instantly.

‘Is there no one?’

Did Lepris flee in the meantime?  The door to the temple was destroyed.

It must have been destroyed at the same time that someone had escaped through the dimensional door.

Then Kang-jun could see writing scratched into the ground.

-You found this place, Lucan.

However, the Earth you care about will perish.

Additionally, everything you’ve accomplished in Hwanmong will disappear.

That is the punishment for enraging Karosio.

‘Goddess of Destruction Karosio!’

Lepris was one of Karosio’s household members.

‘Is Karosio aiming for Earth?’

So, she wanted to destroy Earth in reality as well as in Hwanmong!

However, Kang-jun wasn’t worried.

‘Now that I know, I can prepare.’

The Goddess of Destruction and the demonic gods could only attack Earth in reality by appearing as divine beings to other planets. They couldn’t attack Earth directly.

Kang-jun called Kiradak and ordered,

“You will protect Earth with your men. Get rid of anyone suspicious who tries to approach.”

“Yes, Lord.”

That wasn’t all.

Kang-jun left his clone with Kiradak.

His clone was able to exert the strength of a quasi-transcendent.

In fact, the clone should have one third of the attack power of the main body, but unfortunately, it couldn’t be sustained with chaos power.

It was limited to the Wings of Chaos.

Still, his clone was the strongest among the quasi-transcendents.

So, unless a chaos or transcendent being came to Earth directly, all the enemies would be scattered into dust.

‘Goddess of Destruction, Karosio! Just you wait. Sooner or later, I will trap you in the sealing world as well.’

Then Kang-jun hurriedly returned to the roof of the Delta building.

‘Oh, it must be cold.’

It only took approximately 10 minutes to travel millions of light years to Valles Planet.

However, that was enough time for the ramyun to turn cold.

Fortunately, Han Yeon-soo had maintained his ramyun in a perfect state. It was in a state where he could eat it without blowing on it.

She had also waited for Kang-jun before raising her chopsticks. Kang-jun smiled.

“Now, let’s eat.”

“Yes.”

Slurp. Slurrp.

It was very tasty.

Since then, until the door to Hwanmong opened, Kang-jun continued to take out the food Hayun had made.

He didn’t intend to eat them sparingly.

Hayun would be back before the dishes in the space were gone.

He would make it so.

[The door to Hwanmong is open.]

After returning to Hwanmong, Kang-jun entered the sealing world instantly.

The advanced angel, Luminael, was trapped there.

As Kang-jun entered, Luminael opened his eyes from where he was lying on the ground as though he was dead.
