The Constellation Returned From Hell Chapter 461

Chapter 461

However, the nagging of the goddess of sloth didn’t reach Choi Yeonseung’s ears. He was focusing on checking the soul stones he had ripped off from the marauder constellation.

‘It’s really useful.’

Of course, this amount of soul stones was insignificant compared to winning a battle against a strong constellation and taking away their territory and household members. However, such constellation battles were so tense and risky that not even Choi Yeonseung could fight one without giving his all.

In comparison, getting these soul stones had been like stealing candy from a child. In fact, he was actually surprised that he had gotten them so easily.

‘From now on, I’ll have to catch the evil god constellations who often terrorize others in the Abyss.’

Of course, normal constellations would never think of something like that. For one thing, constellations couldn’t just go wherever they wanted whenever they wanted, as leaving their realm unattended was extremely dangerous.

If the kingdom they had worked incredibly hard to build and develop collapsed and their household members died, that constellation would never be able to recover. No constellation would ever risk that just to rip off an insignificant, low-ranking constellation like the marauder constellation. Besides, given their pride and dignity, constellations wouldn’t concern themselves with such trifles.

However, Choi Yeonseung planned to do just that.

‘It truly is a great business.’

He shook his head, wondering why he hadn’t thought of this before. After all, he had done this quite often when wandering around the Abyss in the past.

Those days, he would charge at any hostile entities and knock them down to reap the rewards, repeating the process countless times.

-…

[…]

The other constellations looked at Choi Yeonseung with worried expressions, not knowing whether to stop him or not.

***

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ says he needs to tell you something.]

‘?’

Choi Yeonseung was puzzled when the angel constellation spoke to him. What did he have to tell him all of a sudden?

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ carefully raises her hand to explain.]

-Please tell me, Goddess.

The goddess explained what had happened with the other constellations.

As Choi Yeonseung had been managing his new territory and beating up the marauder constellation, the goddess and the other good god constellations had been putting pressure on the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations, who was the mastermind behind this invasion.

Of course, the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations hadn’t been easy to deal with. Instead of responding to the provocation of the good god constellations, he had provoked them back.

-So they want me to participate in a constellation battle?

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ says that they are truly evil for making you…]

-Alright, sounds good.

[…]

-Oh, sorry. What did you say?

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ is angry and says that the evil god constellations are truly evil.]

The goddess of balance hurriedly changed her words.

-The Expert of Twisted Hallucinations seems to think that I’m afraid and I’ll avoid him.

The hallucination constellation had the wrong idea about Choi Yeonseung. He wasn’t like all the other constellations, who focused on managing their kingdoms.

Even if fighting the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations meant making an enemy out of every evil god constellation, it didn’t matter to Choi Yeonseung. He was going to fight all of them anyway.

‘These guys are going on a rampage on Earth. I’ll sweep them all away while I can.’

The Expert of Twisted Hallucinations went past the point of no return when the other evil god constellations launched the invasion at his order.

Given how bold his move was, all the other good god constellations were bound to lend Choi Yeonseung their strength. And since they had already spoken up about this, they had no choice but to help in any way they could.

Choi Yeonseung had no reason not to go with this plan.

***

The Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons was waiting with an anxious expression.

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ says he needs the help of the incarnation in the fight to destroy evil.]

[He says he wants you to prepare for a constellation battle with the ‘Expert of Twisted Hallucinations’.]

Now that he had explained the situation, he had to wait for an answer from the Undefeated Incarnation of Training.

Would he even respond to the request…?

-Master, don’t worry. The goal of the Undefeated Incarnation of Training is to eliminate all evil and ensure that good prevails, just like you, Master.

Thank you.

-I think so as well, Master. With a household member like Choi Yeonseung, the incarnation of training certainly isn’t afraid of evil.

?

-?

The angel constellation and the other angels all looked at Illaphael, and she wondered what was wrong. Why were they staring at her?

Um…

I see.

-Yes, let’s just say so.

-???

The constellation and the other angels nodded as though they tacitly acknowledged something. Seeing their reactions, Illaphael became even more puzzled.

Why were they acting like this?

Have any of you ever fallen in love with another race?

-Me? No, but an angel I know once fell in love with an elf hero.

Did the two of them connect? Did it end tragically?

-They had different masters. The elf hero was the leader of a kingdom, and the angel was a messenger who roamed the Abyss. It was obviously a dangerous relationship…

Everyone else sighed in disappointment.

-…But apparently they overcame all hardships, and their love endured.

At that, everyone sighed in relief, and the angel constellation nodded in understanding.

After the angel finished their story, Illaphael firmly called out to everyone.

-Master, and you angels!

‘Ah… Did we tease her too much?’

The angels below Illaphael flinched. She was harsh toward humans, but she was strict and uncompromising with her subordinates as well.

Illaphael had been showing a softer side of her recently, so the other angels had been having a more laid-back attitude with her, but it seemed that they had crossed the line with all the teasing.

-Our master was discussing something important, and if the conversation is derailed, you should steer it back on track, not talk about trivial things that have nothing to do with the topic! Shame on you! You should reflect on yourselves!

-???

-No…

The angels were bewildered. After listening to the whole conversation, she really wasn’t aware that they were referring to her?

Illaphael is right. Let’s all focus.

-Yes.

-Understood.

!!!

-!

The constellation and his angels flapped their wings with joy.

-Didn’t I tell you?!

[The ‘Warrior With a Hammer’ laughs loudly!]

[He is amazed by the persuasive power of the ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’.]

[The ‘Arrogant Light Elf’ pays tribute to your friendship.]

No, I just knew that the Undefeated Incarnation of Training would do the right thing. This has nothing to do with my persuasion skills.

The angel constellation was being modest about this, but the other constellations were so happy that they didn’t even listen to his explanation.

‘Only the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead is quiet.’

The angel constellation noted that the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead wasn’t reacting like the others. Indeed, she was one of the most mysterious and secretive constellations in the Abyss. Perhaps she had become like this because her power to see into the future wasn’t reliable.

In fact, the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons had known the name of the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead for quite some time, but they almost never interacted.

In any case, it was impossible to know what she was thinking.

The Undefeated Incarnation of Training was reliable, but the angel constellation was a bit uneasy about the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead. Even though she was quiet and reclusive in the Abyss, her power of existence had been increasing steadily, which was obviously great for her.

What if she was also a dangerous conspirator?

…Perhaps the angel constellation was reading too much into this, but even so, he clearly couldn’t be careless with the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead. Regardless of whether she was an enemy or an ally, he had to treat her with respect.

She probably feels uncomfortable with the Undefeated Incarnation of Training.

The angel constellation was convinced of that. Of course, their household members worked together quite often, and they had joined forces in a few constellation battles. However, having an alliance didn’t automatically mean that they were close to each other. In the Abyss, there were many instances in which one had to reluctantly forge an alliance with an enemy.

If the goddess really considered the incarnation a close acquaintance, she should be more friendly in his presence. Every time the name of the incarnation was mentioned, the goddess reacted negatively, stiffening up like a plank.

Whatever the reason was, she clearly felt uncomfortable when it came to the incarnation of training.

-You’re right… As expected, your eyes are extremely sharp, Master.

-Isn’t she just embarrassed?

-Shh, you fool! Be quiet! How could a constellation be embarrassed? I’m the one who’s embarrassed, having to listen to you…

-Stop reading strange novels.

All the angels agreed with their master except for a young angel who had just recently come to the palace of the angel constellation. He spoke without thinking, and he dejectedly lowered his head when everyone else scolded him.

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ secretly sends a message to the ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead.]

[He says that if she feels uncomfortable dealing with the ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’, he will do it for her. So please don’t be offended.]

[…]

The Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead had a cold expression after hearing those words. Was the angel constellation declaring war on her?!

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says to calm down…]

***

[The ‘Expert of Twisted Hallucinations’ is laughing at you!]

[He urges you to stop bluffing.]

The Expert of Twisted Hallucinations snorted when the constellations gathered again and spoke to him.

They were trying to intimidate him with their act of bravado, but it was utter nonsense. How could the Undefeated Incarnation of Training enter a constellation battle in this situation?

[The ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training’ says that if you leave Earth now, your life will be spared.]

[If you don’t leave, he will see you in a constellation battle.]

[…]

As such, the shock of the Expert of Twisted Hallucinations was unimaginable.

‘This is nonsense! Why is he being so reckless?! Did I misread the situation?’

The constellation couldn’t believe it. For what reason was the incarnation of training engaging in a constellation battle?

‘Is he doing this to have the chance to deceive the other constellations? Or does he have another reason?’

The hallucination constellation was more dumbfounded than angry. At the moment, the Undefeated Incarnation of Training was full of weaknesses, from Earth to his new realms in the Abyss.

If his areas of interest were under attack, the damage would be enormous. Wouldn’t it be a shame to lose everything just for one battle?

‘I don’t think a constellation of his level can defend everything while also fighting a constellation battle.’

-Master!

What’s going on?

-Apparently the Undefeated Incarnation of Training severely beat up the Marauder Wielding a Scythe, and the marauder didn’t hesitate to become his subordinate!

One of the household members rushed over and reported on what had happened with the marauder constellation.

!!

The Expert of Twisted Hallucinations got goosebumps. For a constellation to directly fight and defeat an enemy in the Abyss was almost unheard of. In addition, the Marauder Wielding a Scythe was a low-ranking constellation. In fact, he was so weak that all the evil god constellations completely ignored him.

It made no sense for a constellation like the Undefeated Incarnation of Training to come forward to capture such an insignificant constellation.

It’s a trap.

-Huh?

It’s a trap! He’s obviously trying to provoke me to attack! He’s clearly preparing something.

-But what is he aiming for?

Think back to the Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood. He looked down on his opponent and ended up in a big mess. The incarnation of training is pretty clever, and we’ll face severe consequences if we act like a bunch of stupid boars. Don’t do anything rash! We have to figure out what he’s after before we do anything.

-Indeed…!

The Expert of Twisted Hallucinations was definitely different from those constellations who always acted solely on instinct, like the Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood.

If he felt that something was off, he wouldn’t do anything hasty until he figured out what was wrong.

However, his prudence actually got in the way this time.

***

‘Why are there no attacks?’

Choi Yeonseung was puzzled.

He had prepared for possible surprise attacks with the help of the other constellations, and he was even prepared to suffer some damage, given that his territories would likely be attacked.

However, it was strangely quiet.

[The ‘Marauder Wielding a Scythe’ flatters that the enemies are scared by the dignity of the ‘Undefeated Incarnation of Training.’]
