Chapter 470
What?
Choi Yeonseung was naturally taken aback.
The Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons had called him, so he came to see what was going on. But to his surprise, he found the Goddess of Discord and Estrangement standing there very awkwardly.
Anyone could easily guess what had happened.
‘Were they having a fight just now?’
It wasn’t just discord between humans; discord between constellations also gave the goddess strength, so the angel constellation clearly wouldn’t get into a fight with her for no reason.
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ says that he called because he thought you should listen to the accusations of the ‘Goddess of Discord and Estrangement’.]
I... I see.
Choi Yeonseung tried to control his expression.
‘I’m so glad that the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons is like this...’
Choi Yeonseung didn’t express it, but he was genuinely nervous. If the angel constellation hadn’t called him, their relationship might’ve fallen apart without his realizing it.
‘I was too careless because things were going according to plan. I forgot that evil god constellations aren’t easy to deal with.’
-They’re like snakes.
The goddess of sloth also nodded.
A fight between constellations didn’t just occur head-on. Conspiracies that spread like mold in the shadows of their kingdom could sometimes topple even seemingly invincible constellations with a single blow.
At the moment, one of Choi Yeonseung’s strengths was the alliance between the good god constellations, which made the Goddess of Discord and Estrangement a very dangerous opponent.
...Of course, she most likely hadn’t expected the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons to instantly call Choi Yeonseung without hesitation.
The Goddess of Discord and Estrangement was silent for a moment. She seemed to be thinking about how to respond.
[The ‘Goddess of Discord and Estrangement’ says you did well.]
[This is a story that the ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ also needs to hear.]
‘Will she attempt a head-on accusation?’
Choi Yeonseung had already regained his composure. Since he and the angel constellation were confronting the goddess of discord together, there was no way they would fall for her tricks.
She was more than welcome to try something!
The Goddess of Discord and Estrangement seemed to be trying to persuade Choi Yeonseung as well.
[The ‘Goddess of Discord and Estrangement’ asks how much you know about the ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead.’]
[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ says he doesn’t know much to be honest.]
‘...Is that so?’
Choi Yeonseung was surprised. The Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons and Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead had been present on Earth well before Choi Yeonseung had become a constellation.
And even before they had emerged on Earth, both of them had to have been in the Abyss.
...But they didn’t know each other well?
‘Why? What deep secret is there?’
-That... Um... It’s a pretty rough question, so don’t ask the goddess of balance.
The goddess of sloth was glad that the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead wasn’t there to hear the conversation... If she heard it, it wouldn’t be strange if she locked herself in her castle for a few days and cried incessantly.
Some constellations had many harmonious friendships, but others had no friends.
[The ‘Goddess of Discord and Estrangement’ says the secret is right there.]
[She accuses the ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ of being a conspirator who plays with various constellations and profits behind the scenes.]
[She says to think about why the power of the ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ has increased recently.]
‘It’s probably because Adaquaniel returned and made an alliance with me,’ thought Choi Yeonseung. Of course, the goddess of balance was bound to look suspicious to the constellations who didn’t know the inside story.
You’re talking nonsense! Every strong constellation plots something. Name me a constellation that isn’t greedy in some regard!
In response to Choi Yeonseung’s ridicule, the Goddess of Discord and Estrangement answered immediately like she had expected his response.
[She says the ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ is being deceived by the ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’.]
[She really didn’t want to tell you this, but...]
‘?’
No...
Choi Yeonseung had to try for a long time to explain that the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead wasn’t such a constellation.
The Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons was unexpectedly stubborn and annoying in regards to this mess...
***
The Goddess of Discord and Estrangement gritted her teeth and ran away. Her seemingly perfect plan had failed miserably.
She had thought the Undefeated Incarnation of Training would instantly get angry, but she hadn’t imagined that the goddess of balance was so lascivious.
[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ asks where you are going.]
What? Go away!
The Goddess of Discord and Estrangement was flustered at the words of the observer constellation. This constellation was a traitor who had recently benefited from hanging out with the good god constellations, so it was only natural for the goddess of discord to be apprehensive toward her.
[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ says she can’t do that.]
[She asks how you knew that the ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ has been eyeing that mortal for decades.]
Why should I answer? the Goddess of Discord and Estrangement snorted.
[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ says that you have no choice.]
...?!
No sooner had the goddess finished her sentence than the Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place appeared before her.
The Goddess of Discord and Estrangement was shocked by the sudden appearance of her opponent, and she couldn’t even get the words out to ask how she had managed to infiltrate her kingdom like that.
How did you...
The Goddess of Discord and Estrangement was interrupted by the ice columns that suddenly pierced her.
She wasn’t a constellation that excelled in fighting, and her power of existence was weaker than that of the observer constellation. Given that she had been ambushed, the goddess had no chance of winning this confrontation.
[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ asks if you feel like talking now.]
You’re... You’re out of your mind! Your realm... what are you going to do? At this very moment, your kingdoms will fall and your heroes will die!
A kingdom was bound to suffer tremendous damage in the absence of the constellation that ruled it. That was especially true in the case of an enormous kingdom like that of the observer constellation.
However, the observer constellation didn’t blink an eye.
[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ says she is willing to accept that.]
[She asks if you sensed the existence of other constellations when the ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ set her sights on this mortal decades ago.]
What nonsense... Don’t tell me... Are you...? Phahahaha! So that’s why you’re doing this...
The Goddess of Discord and Estrangement burst into laughter, and it seemed that she had found her opponent’s weakness.
[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ says it is okay if you didn’t notice.]
Along with this, the Goddess of Discord and Estrangement started freezing. She screamed in pain as the extreme frost entrapped her very existence.
[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ says she will come back when you are ready to give in.]
You are... crazy...! What is that mortal...!
The observer constellation left without saying anything else.
With that, the goddess was trapped in ice.
***
[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ says that she received a gift from the ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons.’]
[She is amazed because she doesn’t know why he gave her a gift all of a sudden.]
-...
-...
Choi Yeonseung and the goddess of sloth exchanged looks. Then, the former came up with an explanation.
-I think it’s possible that he was in awe of your performance in the last battle, Goddess of Balance.
-Well, since the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons is a combat-type constellation, he’s bound to acknowledge strong constellations.
Their words managed to brighten the expression of the goddess of balance. In fact, she had been feeling left out in this alliance, so she had never imagined that the angel constellation would give her a present out of nowhere.
With this, she felt like all the misunderstandings that had accumulated so far had been resolved to some extent.
[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ says she is thinking about what to do in return.]
