The Constellation Returned From Hell Chapter 250

Chapter 250

The goddess of sloth sulked for a bit before speaking. She had reigned in the Abyss for a long time, so her mindset was incomparably broader than that of other young constellations. Choi Yeonseung, the cat, and the manipulator constellation were like children compared to her!

[You have experienced defeat for the first time.]

[The realm of the ‘Goddess of Defeat and Sloth’ is opened.]

[Defeat makes you stronger. You have received the power of the goddess!]

It was thanks to her deceitful power that the Goddess of Defeat and Sloth was about to reign as a loser in the Abyss while the other constellations expanded their territory through scheming and warfare.

If she stayed lazy, she would become stronger.

If she lost, she would become stronger.

It was a frightening power for other constellations!

During the prime of the Goddess of Defeat and Sloth, the realms and powers of numerous constellations were displayed like spoils of war. After sealing herself, all of that disappeared into the vast Abyss, but… She thought that the successor who would take over her power would be able to bring out the powers that were in the realm of defeat one by one.

-Successor, do you understand now?

The goddess of sloth spoke to Choi Yeonseung in a soft but powerful voice. For some reason, he felt that her tone had become a bit arrogant. After all, she was a constellation, so it was natural that she was arrogant.

-I understand… Wait a minute. Come to think of it, Goddess, if you had just taken good care of yourself instead of sealing yourself, couldn’t you have easily given me all those powers?

-Shut up and accept the power.

The goddess of sloth became angry when Choi Yeonseung hit a nerve. All this incessant talking had made her want to blow up everything that she had collected! Choi Yeonseung concentrated and accepted the power of the goddess rising from within him.

[You have gained the power of the goddess.]

[You have obtained the ‘Declaration of the Realm of Silence’.]

[Declaration of the Realm of Silence]

[Rank: S

Declare a realm of power. There will be absolute silence within the realm.]

“…?”

Choi Yeonseung was a bit surprised, not because of the power itself, but rather…

He was perplexed by the nature of the power. This…

‘Isn’t this the power of the Master of Slowness and Silence?’

Choi Yeonseung didn’t know much about constellations, but he nonetheless knew a few names. One of them was the Master of Slowness and Silence. He was one of the world’s most famous evil god constellations and he occupied northern China.

Since that region had the largest land mass and the highest population, the Master of Slowness and Silence was bound to be suspicious of constellations around the world, especially of good god constellations.

Apart from that, the slowness constellation was very quiet. He had been quietly settling in his own realm while the other evil god constellations were causing trouble on Earth.

-That’s right. The Master of Slowness and Silence is quite a reserved constellation.

The goddess of sloth didn’t hate the slowness constellation that much.

Among the evil god constellations, he was a constellation that one could actually communicate with. The other constellations were noisy and ambitious, while the slowness constellation just wanted things to be quiet and slow.

Given his nature, he was bound to have some degree of compatibility with the Goddess of Defeat and Sloth.

-I understand that. But Goddess, how do you have the power of that constellation?

-I think we fought a few times?

The goddess of sloth didn’t seem to remember, but she wasn’t surprised about this.

It was rare for constellations who had been in the Abyss for a long time to never fight. No matter how well they understood each other, the slowness constellation and the goddess of sloth had been bound to collide.

-The power is good, but I don’t want to use someone else’s power and then have them resent me for no reason.

Choi Yeonseung already had a lot of enemies. In addition, the other constellations still didn’t know that he was a constellation. They only knew that one mortal was active and defeating various constellations. Because of that, there had to be a lot of resentment against him.

The goddess replied.

-Ah. You don’t have to worry about that. There is no constellation that would retaliate for something like that.

-Really?

-That guy is lazy, so he wouldn’t bother with that.

-……

Choi Yeonseung trembled.

Wasn’t he supposed to be slow, not lazy?

***

Initially, Choi Yeonseung was supposed to grab the hunters like they were a bunch of rats and give them hell with Lee Changsik, but he couldn’t do so.

Adaquaniel, the leading household member of the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead, and the angel with keen insight, came to visit him.

“It’s a pleasure.”

-Thank you for welcoming me.

Choi Yeonseung welcomed Adaquaniel. It wasn’t easy for the Abyss household members to descend to Earth, as their constellation had to exert their power for that. Therefore, Adaquaniel had to have come here for something important.

Adaquaniel looked around. It was quite a spacious mansion, but she liked the fact that it wasn’t extravagant.

-You have a sense of frugality. How wonderful.

“Ah… I haven’t been able to decorate it because I’ve just received it.”

-Even so, it doesn’t change the fact that you aren’t greedy for embellishments.

Choi Yeonseung had already had a fortune even before the wave of money. There was the money in the cards that Hwang Gyeongryong had given him, the rewards for doing raids with the clans, as well as the rewards for attacking the Abyss Gate…

Thanks to this, he set up a mansion on a suitable plot of land nearby when he took over the clan this time.

Of course, given that Choi Yeonseung was the owner, the mansion was used more or less as a training ground. The first, second, and third floors, as well as the basement and the front yard, were all set up for training! If anyone saw it, they would automatically assume that it was a gym.

However, Adaquaniel seemed to appreciate such frugality.

-If the other hunters on Earth were as humble and sincere as you, the evil god constellations wouldn’t even have taken root.

“What do you mean…? If the household members of the other constellations were as capable as you, the evil god constellations wouldn’t even be around.”

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ is speechless and wondering what the two of you are doing.]

[The ‘Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ says it is not a bad thing to seduce household members, but she solemnly insists that it doesn’t seem like a good choice in this situation.]

The two constellations were dumbfounded as they watched Adaquaniel and Choi Yeonseung earnestly compliment each other and create a sweet atmosphere. Did they forget what they needed to do right now?

Choi Yeonseung disregarded the two constellations and decided to treat Adaquaniel as he wanted.

“Please take a seat. I’ll bring you a drink made from the crops grown by my master himself.”

-I can’t cause you so much trouble…

Adaquaniel tried to decline, but Choi Yeonseung shook his head.

“This is my home. You have to follow my rules.”

-I understand.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ is wondering what the two of you are doing…]

-Be quiet.

Choi Yeonseung silenced the two constellations before asking Adaquaniel a question.

“Speaking of which, is there anything you like?”

-I’m fine with anything.

“Do you like sweet things?”

-I don’t hate them.

Choi Yeonseung shrugged at the words and brought a piece of rice cake. The orcs of his realm had been advancing further and further, and this was especially the case when it came to agriculture. Even Choi Yeonseung couldn’t help being surprised when the orcs shouted, ‘Master, we’ve invented a new type of food!’ and brought rice cakes to him.

Choi Yeonseung was so amazed by the orcs’ devotion that he taught them how to swing a rice cake mallet…

The results were now apparent.

Adaquaniel took a sticky piece of rice cake, took a bite from it, and chewed…

-……

She took another bite.

-……

And another one after that…

‘She must like it.’

Choi Yeonseung had a look of satisfaction on his face. 𝒩Eew st𝒐ries at n𝒐/vel/bi/n(.)co𝒎

The angels working under the goddess of balance were generally likable, but Adaquaniel was especially so. Above all, Choi Yeonseung couldn’t help feeling sorry after he heard that she had been wandering in the Abyss for a long time in search of him.

Adaquaniel turned her head away and blushed slightly. She seemed to have come to her senses after eating frantically.

-I’m sorry.

“What are you sorry about…? Would you like some more? I’ll pack you some more so you can take it back with you.”

-In that case, I will dedicate it to my master.

“I’ll prepare something else to give to the goddess… Now, here you go.”

Normally, Adaquaniel would’ve refused. However, based on how calmly she received it, it seemed that she really liked the cake.

-Successor. I told you to watch out for the goddess of balance, but this is a bit…

-Being good to Adaquaniel is a way of respecting the goddess of balance, right?

-No… Um…

The goddess of sloth stammered because she was speechless.

Choi Yeonseung had a point, so why was she being so anxious?

“By the way, what brings you here?”

-Ah. Yes. I’m sorry. I forgot to tell you the main point while receiving your hospitality…

Adaquaniel cleared her throat, seemingly ashamed, and explained the reason for her visit.

-My master asked if you would like to join forces and participate in a constellation battle.

“A constellation battle? Doesn’t sound like a bad idea.”

For a constellation like Choi Yeonseung that was obsessed with gaining more strength, a constellation battle was always a tempting idea. The goddess of balance had also lost a lot, which meant that a constellation battle was necessary for her to recover everything

However, Adaquaniel’s expression was serious. She raised a finger to her lip and spoke.

-I don’t think you should take this lightly. First of all, the opponent is the Noble Crown Collector…

The crown collector constellation.

He was an arrogant evil god constellation who had clashed with Choi Yeonseung a few times. His power was acknowledged by everyone since he had occupied England, but he had recently suffered a few setbacks due to several mistakes and defeats.

‘It’s good that it’s the collector constellation.’

Choi Yeonseung also wanted to defeat the collector constellation. This could be considered as taking advantage of someone’s misfortune, but if he hated that someone, he had to attack while his house was on fire.

It was a great opportunity to attack since the collector constellation was being distracted.

-…What we’re aiming for is British land.

“?!?”

Choi Yeonseung was surprised.

British land??

For the evil god constellations, Earth represented a golden land with an enormous amount of souls and faith. They wouldn’t bet it in a constellation battle under any circumstances.

In addition, there was also another problem.

“…It’s not that beneficial for the goddess to take British land, is it?”

Even if they managed to take it back from the evil god constellation, it would only benefit the British government and the royal family. It wasn’t that Choi Yeonseung particularly disliked the British. It was just that based on what he had experienced in France, the average British person wasn’t particularly pleasant.

‘Wouldn’t we just give them something for free after saving them?’

-I think you’re misunderstanding something.

“…?”

-If she gets it this time, the goddess will rule the land herself. Of course, she would do it with the Undefeated Incarnation of Training.

“…!”

Choi Yeonseung was surprised by Adaquaniel’s words. Wasn’t it because the good god constellations weren’t threatening that they were able to receive support from all countries and be worshiped? But breaking that principle and forcefully taking over the land?

The goddess of sloth spoke up from where she was listening.

-I’ve listened to all of it, and now I understand.

-Are you revealing your true colors as a constellation now?

-…N-No. Why are you angry with me…?

-I’m sorry. Tell me.

-Humans must be frustrating for good god constellations.

Humans could learn magic that didn’t exist in the Abyss, they could fight hard, grow well, and also devise plans to drive out the evil god constellations.

Besides that, the people of Earth were more adaptable than the constellations expected. Regardless of which land was occupied by the evil god constellations, they could just enjoy life in their own countries. Therefore, it had to be frustrating for the constellations.

-So she is going to act herself?

-It’s not weird. Didn’t you say that the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons is also attacking the British side? Isn’t that constellation aiming for the same thing? It’s a warlike constellation after all…

‘…Let’s forget about ruling for a moment.’

Choi Yeonseung hesitated.

Putting aside what happened once she obtained it…

Even though he had been suffering losses recently, the ‘Noble Crown Collector’ was still one of the strongest evil god constellations that had come on Earth. The fiercest and most combative one among the good god constellations was the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons.

Did the goddess of balance want to step in and obtain the British land while those two were fighting fiercely?

‘Is the goddess of balance really capable of that?’

Choi Yeonseung suddenly felt uneasy.
