The Constellation Returned From Hell Chapter 129

Chapter 129

The caller didn’t immediately understand Choi Yeonseung.

-… Huhu. Choi Yeonseung-ssi. Don’t bluff. Did your master tell you to say that? Think about it carefully. Your master—

Ignoring him, Choi Yeonseung made a declaration.

[The ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ shouts his victory!]

[According to the rules of the constellation battle that all constellations involved agreed on, the ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ has won!]

[The constellation battle is over!]

-?! ! !

Shocked, the caller couldn’t speak properly.

-No, what?the ■ck is this?!

[The ‘Storyteller Who Likes Gossip and Explanations’ asks if you can tell them more about this victory.]

[The ‘Endless Gourmet Seeker’ says that being a combat constellation is nice, but you should think about taking the path of a true gourmet.]

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ says you are lucky enough to win this time but snorts at you and tells you not to become too cocky.]

Several constellations flocked at the declaration of victory. They couldn’t watch the constellation battle, so they were even more curious. Didn’t this constellation battle end much faster than expected? The constellations wanted to know more about their fight. Of course, both Choi Yeonseung and the traitor constellation had no intention of telling them.

[The ‘Vault of Faded Relics’ that the ‘Traitor with a Poisoned Dagger’ bet in the constellation battle will be transferred to your possession.]

[Your ranking among Earth’s constellations has increased.]

[Your current ranking is 125th.]

‘… He’s so lousy.’

Choi Yeonseung was angry. He only rose two places? Of course, he benefited from the constellation battle, but his opponent was weaker than he expected.

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ is upset because you didn’t tell her about the constellation battle.]

‘Ah.’

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ is flustered!]

The two constellations were flustered. Now that he thought about it, he forgot to tell the Goddess of balance. He didn’t have anything to ask her, so…

-Successor. Who is this constellation?

-Um. So…

Choi Yeonseung briefly explained the situation to the goddess of sloth. The Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead was a very nice constellation, but she was a bit sloppy…

-Oh my god! How can there be such a stupid constellation?

-… N-No. She isn’t stupid. She did it with good intentions. She wanted to prevent Earth from being taken over by evil constellations.

-That’s an entirely different matter. Being stupid is being stupid.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says the goddess of balance is indeed stupid.]

‘… This is why I haven’t introduced the goddess of balance to you all.’

If the goddess of balance was included in the conversations of the Alliance of Small and Medium-Sized Constellations, she would cry in less than five minutes. In any case, Choi Yeonseung tried to appease the goddess.

-No, this wasn’t a very difficult constellation. My master told me not to?worry you.

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ is depressed because the incarnation of training seems to hate her.]

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ asks you to convey her goodwill. She has no intention of stealing you as a household member…]

‘No…!’

He didn’t hate her! Choi Yeonseung thought about it hard, but he found no way to clear up the misunderstanding with the goddess of balance.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says this is good since it will make her keep her distance.]

-You don’t have to get close to a constellation like her, Successor. You have to make the right friends.

‘You guys are cold.’

Choi Yeonseung clicked his tongue at the coldness of the constellations.

***

-No way! There is no way! How?!

The traitor constellation couldn’t believe his defeat.

How could the incarnation of training move first? His household members and minions were shrouded in strict secrecy, and his power specialized in concealing his identity.

‘Incarnation of training…! Does he have the power to identify us?’

His opponent’s constellation name didn’t imply it. However, a constellation’s power didn’t necessarily have to correspond to their names. It wasn’t impossible for the incarnation of training to have the power to identify his subordinates. Besides, hadn’t the incarnation of training already defeated one of his minions in the dungeon?

-Tell me! Does he have such powers?

-Why should I answer? Get lost.

Choi Yeonseung refused to answer the traitor constellation. Constellation battles were ruthless. No matter how much the loser barked, the winner could ignore it.

“By the way…”

Choi Yeonseung was about to open the ‘Vault of Faded Relics,’ but the Blood Fortress’ new appearance surprised him. It was a lot different than what he expected. It used to be a river of blood, its air containing a madness that enraged all those who entered. However, the red energy that covered the realm was now gone, and peaceful energy took its place. No, it wasn’t exactly peaceful.

‘How should I describe it?’

-The smell of sweat?

“… Out of so many descriptions, why use that one?”

Choi Yeonseung hated it. Of course, the energy of training flowing throughout the realm likely stemmed from Choi Yeonseung’s influence. ?Compared to red madness, the pure white passion of training flowed from the passing orcs. However, it was a bit too much to say that it smelled like sweat.

“Wow. Odaigon?did a really good job.”

The new rice paddies impressed Choi Yeonseung. ?The wide Blood Fortress still had many areas for development, but the rice paddies were quite good. Odaigon created them by changing the river’s path to water them. ?The rice was already ripening before he knew it! The orcs skillfully cut and threshed and piled them up next to them. They were so skilled that some people would think they were a farming race.

-By the way, Successor. Why are these orcs farming with axes?

The goddess of sloth wondered. Among the many tools, why an?axe?

“It’s for training. This is so touching.”

-… Do they really have to do that? That’s a bit…

Choi Yeonseung stopped listening to the goddess of sloth and moved.

“Master!”

“Welcome!”

The orcs didn’t dare look at Choi Yeonseung, so they lowered their heads. It wasn’t a metaphor. They really couldn’t look at him. Choi Yeonseung, if he was in the Abyss instead of Earth, was hard for mortals to look at because he exuded so much power of existence. If they looked at him directly, a strong halo would blind them!

“You have worked hard.”

“No! Training is fun!”

“I learned how to strike five heads of rice at the same time with one axe swing!”

The orcs spoke with sincerity. They were under the Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood all their lives, so Choi Yeonseung’s teachings were pure joy. They cut the ground with a clear mind, sweated, and cut the rice with an?axe. In addition, Choi Yeonseung taught them new martial arts. Could there be any other constellation that was so merciful?

“I want to grow more!”

“Let us tear up more land and decapitate more crops!”

“You guys!”

Choi Yeonseung looked emotional. Choi Yeonseung’s favorite type of person was those who would say, ‘I want to do more,’ even after he trained them! The orcs impressed Choi Yeonseung so much. They weren’t so dependable when he first met them…

“Okay! Let’s expand the rice paddies and grow other plants!”

The goddess of sloth and the cat constellation were angry. This was too extreme. Of course, a constellation was free to do anything in their own realm, but he wasn’t even a constellation of training. Why work so hard? ?They couldn’t say anything because it was the work of the incarnation, though.

‘I will take this rice and test it out.’

Choi Yeonseung took the pollution-free, pesticide-free rice grown by the orcs. What would Abyss-grown rice taste like?

“Master!”

Garagoncha, who was praised as the smartest orc, stepped forward.

“What is it?”

“I dare ask this at the risk of my life and honor! I want to raise beasts!”

“Garagoncha…!”

“What a fearsome being!”

The orcs were appalled. How could he dare come up with such a crazy idea?

“You mean monsters like the hydra? I haven’t caught any of those yet. If I catch one, I’ll leave it to you.”

“That’s not it! I heard from the goblin king that goblins raise and eat animals. I want to try it!”

“Ah, so you want to raise chickens and cows… ”

Choi Yeonseung was flustered, but he quickly accepted it. This was a good sign. The orcs, who knew nothing but combat, gained an interest in farming and were now interested in livestock.

“Okay. I’ll get some and bring them to you.”

“Master’s grace has pierced the sky and overturned the earth. I don’t know what to say anymore! Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty!”

‘… I’m just bringing some chickens and cows. Their reaction embarrasses me.’

Choi Yeonseung was very embarrassed. However, the goddess of sloth and the cat constellation acted as if the orcs’ behavior was only natural.

-That orc is polite when talking with a constellation.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ advises that the orc’s head should be lowered a bit more.]

Mortals should prostrate themselves and act carefully when in the presence of constellations. That was the rule.

The incarnation was just too generous!

***

[The ‘Vault of Faded Relics’ has been unsealed.]

[The holy relic of the ‘Arrogant Light Elf’ has revealed itself.]

-A holy relic!

The goddess of sloth was surprised. Holy relics were?artifacts with the power of a constellation. A constellation could handle the nigh-omnipotent power of existence, but it wasn’t without challenges. Just as it was difficult for Choi Yeonseung, the embodiment of training, to create powers related to love, the other constellations all had their own limits.

Giving powers to beloved household members also came with its own set of problems.

First of all, the household member had to be capable of handling and withstanding said power. Giving them strength could kill them if they couldn’t handle it. Hence, the constellations used holy relics. A powerful artifact created using some of their power of existence!

“In that sense… Is it some sort of alter ego?”

-You could say that.

“… Why did the traitor constellation have this, then?”

-I don’t really know…

Choi Yeonseung found it absurd. The Arrogant Light Elf was a strong constellation famous on Earth and had entered the two-digit rankings. The traitor possessed the holy relic of such a constellation. Choi Yeonseung couldn’t help but wonder how he stole it. It had to have taken a lot of guts.

-Successor. Constellations don’t think as much as you probably expect. UpTodated 𝒏ov𝒆ls on 𝒏ov𝒆l()bin(.)c𝒐m

“…… ”

-He likely just thought everything would be fine for as long as he didn’t get caught.

Unlike Choi Yeonseung, who used to be a mortal, most of the constellations had no sense of crisis. They had been rulers since birth, and there was nothing for them to be scared of. Hence, they lacked caution. That was why they didn’t hesitate to steal other constellations’ holy relics!

“I still have a temple of the Arrogant Light Elf in my territory…”

Choi Yeonseung clicked his tongue. Although he did defeat a hunter who had signed a contract with the Arrogant Light Elf at the UHC, he didn’t have much emotion toward that constellation. There were so many evil god constellations to fight, so he had no reason to fight the elf constellation, a good god constellation.

-If you’re so reluctant to accept it, why don’t you just give it back?

“What nonsense are you saying? Are you the goddess of pushovers?”

-……

The goddess of sloth inwardly cursed at her successor.
