Chapter 573

The cat constellation and the manipulator constellation were still troubled, not knowing that Choi Yeonseung had already done everything he had to do with the goddess of balance.

They were racking their brains trying to come up with a way to make constellations stronger than them mate.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ wonders which constellation could help them in their quest.]

[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ suggests the ‘Goddess of Defeat and Sloth’.]

[The ‘Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ rejects your idea, arguing that the ‘Goddess of Defeat and Sloth’ is a coward and would probably tell Choi Yeonseung right away.]

Eventually, the distressed cat constellation found a suitable partner.

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ asks why you are here.]

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says it came to ask something very important of you.]

Puzzled by the cat’s serious tone, the chef constellation straightened up, ready to listen. If the cat constellation was this worried, it had to be very important.

What could be the issue?

Are there any new enemies in the Abyss?

Or is one of the household members in the kingdom planning a rebellion?

Or the other constellations...

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says it is more important than that.]

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ asks what it is.]

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says it’s the issue of Choi Yeonseung mating.]

......

The expression of the chef constellation hardened.

...And then he kicked out the cat constellation.

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ expels the ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ from the realm!]

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ is angry at the rude treatment!]

***

As they had nothing else to do, the constellations didn’t give up and continued to seek help.

[The ‘Monk Pursuing Glory’ is supporting it, saying that with strong enough faith and rigorous training, the two will definitely be able to mate.]

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ thanks you.]

Some constellations cheered them on, but others reacted differently, one of them being the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons.

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ says that you have been rather suspicious lately.]

[If you are plotting something suspicious...]

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ requests your insight on Choi Yeonseung’s mating problem.]

......

The Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons was speechless.

Illaphael was taken aback seeing her master unusually flustered.

“What’s the matter, Master?”

This constellation suddenly asked an absurd question.

“Oh, what kind of question...?”

...It doesn’t matter.

“???”

Illaphael was baffled that her master wouldn’t tell her.

What had that constellation asked?

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ says he will think about it.]

The angel constellation appeased his visitors, but then, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately sent his household member to inform Choi Yeonseung about this.

Illaphael, deliver this letter to the Incarnation of Humanity.

“Understood.”

Feeling the urgency in her master’s voice, Illaphael straightened up. She didn’t know what this was about, but it had to be of utmost importance!

***

“Ah, angel!” the orcs greeted as they saw Illaphael flying in.

However, Illaphael pretended like they weren’t there.

“Ah, the angel who disregarded and insulted Master when he was on Earth!”

𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

“...No!” Illaphael retorted instantly, unable to accept such an accusation. She was in a foreign territory full of orcs. The more she engaged with them, the more troublesome it would become for her, but...

The orcs had quickly broken Illaphael’s resolve!

“That... That was a misunderstanding!” Illaphael argued.

“What was the misunderstanding? It’s true that you disregarded Master.”

“No, I did that with all humans! He just happened to be one of them!”

The orcs found her excuse pathetic. Of course, humans were a greedy, unsightly, and annoying race that was inferior to orcs, but it was nonetheless the great race that their master came from.

Therefore, looking down on humans was unacceptable!

“In any case, angel...”

“Tsk, they look down on other races just because they have wings...”

Illaphael shuddered at the murmurs of the orcs, but she couldn’t bring herself to deny it. Indeed, the most shameful thing about her past was her bickering with the constellation disguised as a human.

-

Please kill me!

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ says it isn’t your fault.]

[The ‘Incarnation of Humanity’ has already forgiven you, so don’t worry...]

-

No!

Just kill me!

Illaphael was almost never worried about making a fool of herself, but... How ridiculous she had to have seemed, bragging of her insignificant strength in front of a constellation!

“Get out of the way,” she demanded. “I have come to deliver an important letter from my master.”

At that, the orcs stepped aside, curiously looking at the letter in Illaphael’s hands. They couldn’t help wondering what this was about.

“If it’s from the Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons, it might be another hunt.”

“Are the evil god constellations planning something?”

“Or maybe a monster has appeared on Earth.”

“Humans are too dependent on us. Aside from hunting monsters, the judicial system also depends on us.”

Call the other constellations now!

The orcs’ chattering was interrupted by Choi Yeonseung’s icy voice. They all raised their heads in surprise. Seeing their master react like this, it had to be something serious!

***

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ is really happy and relieved!]

[It joyously declares that this is the happiest event ever!]

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ needs a gift to give to the soon-to-be-born angel, so it will scour the Abyss to find materials to make it...]

After being briefed on the situation, the cat constellation immediately tried to escape, but Choi Yeonseung didn’t let it go that easily.

Stop.

......

Choi Yeonseung stared at the cat constellation in disbelief. He had heard that the cat was up to something, but he had never imagined it would be

this

.

...He genuinely couldn’t believe it!

‘Even now, this feels surreal...’

The cat constellation had assumed that he still hadn’t been intimate with the goddess, so it had gone to Adaquaniel, out of all people, and asked her, “Hey, did you mate with Choi Yeonseung instead?”

Let me just say this, cat constellation and manipulator constellation. The two of us have been together for a long time.

The Manipulator of Dreams and Desires flushed crimson. If nothing else, this was even more humiliating.

[The ‘Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ swears that she had her own reasons to...]

Silence, you voyeur constellations! Not just you two, but the Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place too...

The Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place glared at the other two constellations as if she wanted to kill them.

The Cat of Lava and Magma and the Manipulator of Dreams and Desires were frightened. They didn’t know what Choi Yeonseung would do to them, but after this whole spectacle, it wouldn’t be strange if they suddenly disappeared without anyone knowing.

...But don’t be too mad at them.

It was my fault.

[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ is angry that she was caught in such a fiasco.]

[She stands up to leave.]

I apologize once again.

[...The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ promises to celebrate once the heir is born.]

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ also stands up to leave...]

No. You stay.

Choi Yeonseung overpowered the cat constellation with just his gaze.

The cowering cat constellation quickly made an excuse.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ says that it is only natural to misunderstand, given that it hasn’t met with you in so long.]

[It didn’t expect the two of you to be mating so hard in the meantime...]

[The ‘Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ suggests to stop talking and just listen...]

I’m glad the rumors didn’t spread. But did you think even for a second how upset the goddess of balance would be if she heard about this? You know she’s sensitive.

‘I think he’s being overprotective...’

‘I don’t think it’s that bad...’

[The ‘Goddess of Defeat and Sloth’ is calling you!]

[She says that the ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ will soon give birth to the ‘Angel of Martial Arts from the Future.’]

!

At that, everyone jumped up and hurried to see the goddess.

***

Goddess of Defeat and Sloth, what should I do in this situation?

[The ‘Goddess of Defeat and Sloth’ is confused.]

[She tells you not to ask anything!]

The goddess of sloth was bewildered. A child being born between two constellations was so unheard of that not even she had seen it. The constellations in the Abyss were always busy fighting and keeping each other in check, so it was safe to say that they weren’t particularly concerned with having babies.

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ is happy to see the other constellations.]

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ is very happy to see the goddess!]

[The ‘Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ is also very happy to see the goddess!]

The other constellations reacted very strongly, worrying that the goddess might discover what they had done.

The goddess of balance smiled and nodded unsuspectingly. Choi Yeonseung was about to denounce what the constellations had done when he saw this...

But at that moment, the world shook.

[The ‘Angel of Martial Arts from the Future’ has appeared.]

Seeing the angel emerge from a crack in the world with a brilliant light, Choi Yeonseung was overcome with emotion incomparable to anything he had felt from his achievements in martial arts.

She was unlike any human baby—or any baby born in the Abyss—but Choi Yeonseung could feel with certainty that this angel in front of him had inherited his existence.

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ bows down and celebrates the birth!]

[The ‘Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ also bows down to celebrate the birth!]

After receiving the news and rushing over, the other constellations were bewildered to see the two constellations prostrate themselves.

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ notices and bows down to celebrate the birth.]

[The ‘Chef of Endless Gluttony’ also notices and follows suit.]

The Goddess of Defeat and Sloth was a bit perplexed by the scene and turned to Choi Yeonseung.

[The ‘Goddess of Defeat and Sloth’ asks if you should stop them.]

No, they should do this to celebrate.

......

The Goddess of Defeat and Sloth was speechless.

The stern constellation had quickly turned into a silly parent!

[The ‘Cat of Lava and Magma’ is about to get up.]

No, lie down a bit more.

Without arguing, the constellations who tried to get up quickly prostrated themselves again.

Choi Yeonseung held the hands of the Angel of Martial Arts from the Future and said, “As has always been the case, no matter what crisis befalls my kingdom... I swear I will put an end to it.”

In fact, nothing had changed from what he had done before; there was no newfound power. But despite that, Choi Yeonseung still felt a strange surge of power within him.

Indeed, people were stronger when they fought to protect others rather than just themselves.

Father...?

The Angel of Martial Arts from the Future spoke for the first time, her still-soft eyes blinking with an apparent confusion.

Choi Yeonseung nodded.

Yes? What is it, my child?

Why are all the constellations lying on the floor?
