The Constellation Returned From Hell Chapter 342

Chapter 342

It was embarrassing, but power was power. The berserker constellation had suffered a humiliating defeat in many ways and had become a laughing stock in the Abyss, but it was by no means a weak constellation.

Madness, blood, and warrior. These three realms had to be strong!

[The more blood flows, the stronger your power becomes.]

[The more you accept madness, the more your…]

[The longer you fight, the more your…]

Even though Choi Yeonseung wouldn’t use it, madness was still a powerful blessing. 

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ wonders what he is doing.]

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ agrees.]

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ flushes with anger.]

‘…Don’t fight among yourselves…’

Choi Yeonseung had to face the explosion constellation, so the constellations were supposed to help him, not bicker with one another. 

Fortunately, they quickly stopped arguing with each other as they were also well aware of how dangerous Choi Yeonseung’s enemy was. 

[A dimensional portal has opened!]

[The power of existence has taken shape and changed.]

[A clone of the ’Endless Linked Explosions’ has descended!]

“…!”

-Are you serious…?!

The goddess of sloth was astonished for a reason. 

Constellations were prideful, so when they tried to punish arrogant mortals, they usually sent one of their household members, not a clone of themselves. 

Wasn’t this the same as if the explosion constellation had descended himself?

If one used a sword designed to slay dragons in order to catch a chicken, they would naturally come off as an idiot. Despite that, the explosion constellation was currently releasing a lot of power of existence to summon clones of himself. 

It would certainly be a huge loss and a terrible humiliation for the explosion constellation if he failed even with this excessive display of power. 

There was something else going on… This wasn’t just about pride. 

-The explosion constellation… It seems like he sensed something…?

The explosion constellation clearly had a premonition, a gut feeling. He felt that if he didn’t get rid of Choi Yeonseung then and there, he would keep being a nuisance in the future. 

In a way, Choi Yeonseung felt honored, but…

‘It’s ridiculous. Why is he doing this?’

-Successor, you’re a constellation disguised as a human…

-Be quiet.

Choi Yeonseung quietly gazed at the figure of Endless Linked Explosions as it took shape. At first, it was a misty apparition, materializing from nothing, but then it gradually took a darker, more ominous form. 

Bang!

Choi Yeonseung rushed forward while amplifying Origin of the Celestial Divine Arts to its limits. He then launched Origin of the Celestial Meteor Drop.

The concentrated energy took the form of a meteor as it struck the clone with formidable force. 

Bang! Bang! Bang!

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ is flustered by the sudden surprise attack.]

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ compliments you for doing a good job.]

You mortal bastard! You really…!

The clone of the explosion constellation gritted his teeth as he straightened up. As arrogant as he was, he hadn’t expected such a surprise attack.

It was common courtesy for mortals to watch the constellation as they fully descended, have a polite conversation with them, and only then to attack…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Hey, stop it!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Regardless of how frustrated the explosion constellation was, Choi Yeonseung kept attacking without giving him a second to breathe. 

Choi Yeonseung used Movement Transposition to move around freely and extremely fast. Before the clone of the explosion constellation could determine his location, Choi Yeonseung had already moved somewhere else and launched another attack!

Moreover, his attacks weren’t light either. Every attack was extremely powerful as it was infused with a huge amount of concentrated energy that seemed to explode upon impact. 

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ is amazed that a mortal can exhibit such outstanding strength. He wonders if it is the power of the ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead.’]Discover 𝒏ew chapters at novelbi𝒏(.)co𝒎

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ is flustered.]

The other constellations were aware that martial arts were strange and unique, but at the moment, Choi Yeonseung was actually overpowering the clone of the explosion constellation. Even though he ambushed the clone, nobody had expected a mortal to fight so well against a constellation. 

This power seemed to be a huge step up from what Choi Yeonseung had displayed thus far. The constellations wondered if their blessings had led to such powerful attacks. 

“…Uhm… Is it okay to stay like this?”

It wasn’t just the constellations who were watching this fight. 

***

The hunters who had been fighting with the soldiers on the other side sighed with relief when they saw that the bombing was finally over. 

“See? Didn’t it end well?”

“…You piece of shit!”

At the officer’s audacious words, a few of the hunters erupted and threw more punches at him but didn’t continue fighting as the crisis had been averted. 

The reporters gathered here also felt relieved. This prosperous city had been on the verge of destruction, but fortunately the missiles had been stopped in the nick of time. 

‘Did you get a good shot?’

‘Yes.’

‘The Chinese government will tell us to delete it later, so just broadcast it right away.’

‘That’s what I am doing.’

The reporters whispered among themselves. 

In most countries, the media had almost complete freedom when it came to broadcasting news, but there were also some countries where the media were on a very tight leash when it came to covering controversial situations. 

Evidently, China was the latter, which meant that the reporters had to come up with all sorts of tricks. Fortunately, the hunters and soldiers were too busy fighting against each other to notice them. 

-Breaking News: The Chinese Air Force started a bombardment over the city…

-????

-What are you talking about? Bombing their own city…? Can they actually do that?

As people around the world were shocked and confused, gossiping about what the Chinese military was doing in Guangzhou, another worrying incident occurred. 

A clone of an evil god constellation descended in the city.

“…”

“…”

The hunters and soldiers stopped fighting and went silent at the overwhelming presence of the clone of the constellation. They realized they had no hope against something like that, so they gave up on any resistance. 

Some of the hunters recalled the video of their retreat from the northern part of China after it was occupied by a constellation. 

The party kept playing that video of ‘the day of shame,’ saying that they had to take revenge. The hunters had seen it so many times that they had naturally become numb to the prospect of facing a constellation. However, now that one had descended right in front of them…

“…A contract was signed.”

“Di… Did someone really sign a contract…?”

The hunters whispered to each other. At this point, they couldn’t deny it no matter how much they wanted to.

Someone had actually signed a contract!

As if to confirm their suspicions, the weapons from the nearby military camp rose in the air and flew away toward the clone of the explosion constellation. He had been beaten up pretty badly by Choi Yeonseung, so he had the weapons reconstruct his body, giving it a grotesque look. 

Each missile had a destructive power of tens of thousands of tons of explosives. He had also attached to himself the large-caliber self-propelled guns and mortars used by the military. 

The grotesque weapon giant stared down at Choi Yeonseung. 

Bang!

‘Damn!’

After being overpowered by Choi Yeonseung, the clone must’ve realized that he couldn’t just capture him. Thus, as a way to vent his anger and frustration, the close chose a different approach. 

He would attack the city directly!

With the intention of blowing up the entire city, the weapon monster concentrated energy at his fingertip and shot it at the city. The explosive energy produced a tremendous gust of wind as it traveled toward the city center. 

Right as it was about to explode…

Baaaaaang!

Choi Yeonseung got in its way. 

‘Origin of the Celestial Kick!’

He deflected the explosion with a kick!

[A powerful explosion will destroy you!]

[Impenetrable Skin is temporarily broken!]

[Eternal Regeneration has regenerated your body.]

[Blood is flowing. Your power becomes stronger.]

[The ‘Seed of the Realm’ is vibrating.]

[’Nobility’ is engraved even more strongly into the seed!]

[‘Dignity of Light’ becomes stronger.]

[’Arrogant Light Elf’ acknowledges your beauty.]

[…]

‘…’

Choi Yeonseung would ignore the reactions of the constellations for now…

In the midst of all of this, Choi Yeonseung was frustrated at how the Seed of the Realm evolved. 

‘I’m fighting like this, but instead of realms like warrior, struggle, or cunning, it empowers the realm of nobility…!’

-Focus! Focus on the fight!

Choi Yeonseung focused back on the fight as the goddess of sloth screamed at him. The attacks of the explosion constellation were brutal. He launched explosions filled with his power of existence, which meant they could pierce through Choi Yeonseung’s skills and inflict damage. 

If Choi Yeonseung had been fighting in the Abyss, he would’ve just dodged the clone’s attacks…

I know your weaknesses.

The explosion constellation was quite cunning; he realized why Choi Yeonseung had been attacking the way he had. 

‘Do I really have to throw them away?’

You are still thinking about those worthless and insignificant souls! What a funny mortal. 

Choi Yeonseung ignored the taunts of the explosion constellation. Some Abyssal beings drew great pleasure from having their foes respond to their provocations and mockery, and the explosion constellation was certainly one of them. 

Unlike other constellations, I know what the humans of Earth desire. I also know whenever humans are on good terms or on bad terms with each other. Be honest and admit it! No matter how much you help them here, the government won’t acknowledge your work. Rather, they will bury it and distort it!

‘I have to sew that bastard’s mouth shut.’

It would’ve been better for Choi Yeonseung if he had faced some constellation who was clueless about Earth and humans. The constellations who knew humans well were many times more annoying.

Choi Yeonseung acknowledged that the explosion constellation had a point. Nevertheless, the reason he ignored him and kept fighting was because he believed in the noble cause of saving everyone…

…Or at least that should’ve been the reason.

‘If I give up here… I’ll embarrass myself in front of everyone.’

Choi Yeonseung recalled the people he knew, whether they were perfectly fine, injured, or even dead. He felt like, to some degree, he had a duty to all of them. He had stood by those people for a long time, and he had to maintain his dignity and do the right thing for them. 

‘That’s it. I’ll use the power of existence!’

Choi Yeonseung made up his mind. He would use his power of existence to block that explosive bastard’s attack even if it made him suspicious!

As he prepared to counterattack, Choi Yeonseung suddenly saw a vision of the future. He could see himself unfold a realm of silence. The clone of the explosion constellation attacked ferociously, but he ultimately died without making a sound. 

The moment Choi Yeonseung saw the vision, he knew what he had to do.

“Thank you, goddess of balance!” 

-I will declare a realm of silence!

Choi Yeonseung rushed over after thanking the goddess of balance. 

Declaration of the Realm of Silence was one of the powers that the goddess of sloth possessed. 

When it came to the most powerful constellations on Earth, most people would first think of the Master of Slowness and Silence. 

[A realm of silence has unfolded.]

[This is a realm you don’t fully understand. The world refuses to change.]

[The realm is shaking.]

This realm was a skill that transformed the world according to the caster’s essence. 

If the world didn’t suit the others, they would inevitably struggle. Thus, Choi Yeonseung concentrated while ignoring the burning sensation in his brain.

Back when the demon constellation had been defeated by the explosion constellation… The power that the explosion constellation had borrowed back then…

‘Remember that power!’

[The ‘Master of Slowness and Silence ‘ quietly whispers to you.]

[I will guide your path.]

Choi Yeonseung could see a huge whale guiding him through a vast ocean before disappearing. Once the vision ended, a realm of silence expanded around him.

How can you do that?! the explosion constellation shouted in disbelief. As expected, the explosion constellation had secretly been working with the Master of Slowness and Silence.

-The Master of Slowness and Silence. If you lend me your power, in return I will kill the other constellations that cause trouble in your realm.

-……

He had the opposite realm as the slowness constellation, but the explosion constellation clearly exploited the desires of the slowness constellation. The secret alliance had indeed been effective; the demon constellation had collapsed without being able to fight back. 

Master of Slowness and Silence! Give me your power! demanded the explosion constellation. He didn’t know if the mortal stole the power with that trick of his, but once the Master of Slowness and Silence stepped in, that power would quickly disappear.

However, the explosion constellation’s call for help remained unanswered. 

Master of Slowness and Silence!

In the meantime, Choi Yeonseung prepared an attack within the expanded realm. 

“Be silent.”

The clone froze as it tried to fire an explosion.

“Keep silent!”

As the power from various constellations merged together on Choi Yeonseung with a dazzling brilliance, the explosion constellation became furious. 

Master of Slowness and Silence!!! What are you doing?!

The explosion constellation dropped the politeness as he shouted angrily at his ally. 

[The ‘Master of Slowness and Silence’ says that… you… are too… noisy.]

……

It was only then that the explosion constellation realized what his ally was actually like. The explosion constellation had always thought that the Master of Slowness and Silence was a powerful but slow and lazy idiot…

However, unbeknownst to the explosion constellation, his ‘ally’ had planned to get rid of him. 

[A stronger ‘Dignity of Light’ dwells in your power.]

[The blessing given by the ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ is…]

[…]

The clone of Endless Linked Explosions was pierced and obliterated by concentrated energy that radiated a dazzling white light.
