Chapter 263

The moment it seemed like things were going in a strange direction, Choi Yeonseung coughed and returned the conversation to its original topic.

“Goddess, my master is curious about what messages the constellation of the Abyss have sent you.”

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ says they are just threats.]

‘Um... I don’t think it’s just that.’

Choi Yeonseung grew worried as he looked at the list that the goddess was talking about. First of all, the Noble Crown Collector was threatening them with death.

[The ‘Noble Crown Collector’ vows to spare you if you return the United Kingdom right now.]

[The ‘Noble Crown Collector’ says that if you ignore this suggestion, he will make sure all of you get destroyed...]

[The ‘Noble Crown Collector’ urges you not to ignore his warning!]

The reaction of the collector constellation was only natural and it wasn’t a big deal. Since he had lost the United Kingdom, his power had decreased exponentially, and consequently, his kingdoms in the Abyss were also on the verge of collapsing. Rather than taking revenge, the collector constellation had to take care of himself.

The problem was elsewhere.

[The ‘Expert of Twisted Hallucinations’ genuinely admires the goddess’ scheme.]

[The ‘Expert of Twisted Hallucinations’ is warning her to be careful.]

[The ‘Demon of Contract and Order’ is admiring this side of the goddess that he has never known before.]

[The ‘Demon of Contract and Order’ is suggesting to compete with each other for contracts in the future.]

[The ‘Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood’ is praising the goddess this time.]

[’Endless Linked Explosions’ is jealous of the goddess.]

[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ is very interested.]

[...]

They had properly attracted the attention of the evil god constellations. The evil god constellations were allied with each other, even though it was a very loose alliance. Despite the fact that they hated and loathed each other, they had to stay united in order to stand up to the good god constellations.

However, since one of the representative evil god constellations had been defeated by a good god constellation, it was natural that the evil god constellations would pay attention to it.

‘This... I’m a bit worried.’

One couldn’t do anything when they were clearly outnumbered. If the goddess was attacked from various sides, starting with the constellation battles...

-If that happens, you’ll discover the true identity of the goddess.

-...Isn’t that too cruel?

-That’s how things work in the Abyss.

The goddess of sloth thought that if the goddess of balance was attacked, her true colors would be revealed. If the goddess of balance was among the constellations who had made a secret alliance and opened the gate...

Wouldn’t she show her true colors when backed into a corner?

[The ‘Goddess of Balance Who Walks Ahead’ is telling you not to worry. She says she didn’t give in at all, even though there were comments from other constellations.]

“...???”

Was there something else besides the threats from the evil god constellations?

[The ‘Six-Winged Angel Who Hunts Dragons’ says he will keep an eye on how the United Kingdom is governed.]This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.

[The ‘Monk Pursuing Glory’ declares that since you have taken over the United Kingdom instead of the angel constellation, he won’t remain silent if you fail to govern it well]

[...]

[...]

The angel constellation was highly regarded among the good god constellations because of how active he was. It was to the extent that there were several constellations who were indebted to the angel constellation.

The other good god constellations were displeased with the fact that the goddess had taken over the United Kingdom instead of the angel constellation. No matter how they thought about it, the goddess didn’t seem like she could rule better than the angel constellation.

This situation attracted the attention of all constellations, both evil and good. The only ones who could currently take the goddess’ side were...

‘Is it the berserker constellation or the constellation of understanding?’

It was between an evil god constellation and a scumbag that had just become a constellation. Choi Yeonseung couldn’t help being nervous. However, unlike him, the goddess didn’t lose her confidence.

-Maybe... I think she’s just trying to act tough in front of you... At this point, I think it’s rather pathetic...

-Be quiet.

“...?”

Nightmare demons in the United Kingdom?

***

The humans of Earth lived a normal life and never crossed paths with Abyssal races.

Abyssal races would sometimes come to Earth using the power of a constellation or emerge from dungeons. In addition, the humans of Earth would sometimes change their race using the power of the constellation.

However, it wasn’t particularly hard to find those individuals if one looked for them. They were usually found in countries occupied by evil god constellations. There were quite a few cases where the household members and clans sent by the evil god constellations roamed the country.

“Didn’t the collector constellation send Abyssal races to the United Kingdom?”

“No. There were vampires, but they didn’t live in the United Kingdom. They only came here whenever there was a problem and had to watch over the people and rule them.

The races belonging to the collector constellation hated living in the United Kingdom. Most of them were decent and noble, so they didn’t want to live on Earth, a place with dirty air that they didn’t know much about.

They only went there if the constellation ordered them to do so.

[The ‘Manipulator of Dreams and Desires’ says that Earth is attractive enough for the nightmare demons.]

The nightmare demons were a race that sought desires. To them, races like humans that were full of desire were alluring prey. To think that there was a country full of such creatures... They would certainly put up with any bad conditions.

“Hmm... Yes. It shouldn't be a big deal. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring the Abyssal races here,” said Choi Yeonseung while thinking about the orcs.

The orcs had turned out to be much more diligent and effective than he had thought. If he brought them to the United Kingdom, allocate the remaining land to them, and have them increase production...

‘Wouldn’t that be okay?’

He hadn’t decided on how to govern the United Kingdom yet, but it seemed like a good idea to call the Abyssal races.

***

“Oh my god... What race is that?”

“Are they angels? It can’t be. How can they be so beautiful...?”

The Londoners were astonished to see the nightmare demons passing by on the road. They were just as beautiful as the angels and the elves! Of course, people thought this way because they didn’t know the inner thoughts of the nightmare demons.

“I looked into it. The incarnation of training has been regarded quite well recently. He’s active in Asia.”

“Isn’t he better than the collector guy? He just needs to be better than him.”

There weren’t many British people who were fond of the collector constellation. The nobles evidently liked him because he had allowed them to live luxuriously, but the remaining people had no reason to like him.

In contrast, the incarnation of training had a much better image than expected. News regarding his recent achievements had been secretly spreading.

More than anything, Choi Yeonseung’s appearance during the constellation battle had proved to be quite impactful. It was rare for a hunter to risk their lives in the middle of a constellation battle to save the citizens.

“...Aaaaack! Orcs! Orcs!”

“Call the hunters! The hunters!”

The citizens, who had been watching quietly, ran away screaming once they saw the orcs passing through the streets. The orcs were puzzled as they watched the people fleeing.

-Why are they running away?

-It must be hard for them to bear our dignity.

-Is that so?

Normally, one could encounter orcs on Earth only when dungeons were destroyed. Thus, it was natural for people to panic and run away. However, instead of going on a rampage, the orcs diligently carried out Choi Yeonseung’s orders.

-You need to prepare to establish a magic barrier here.

-These buildings are in the way. May I destroy them?

-No. You have to obtain permission from the owner for that.

-I see. Then I have to call the owner.

The orcs worked hard with the help of Odaigon and the strange golem, the Pagoda Bearing God.

-This plot of land is empty. Can I plant trees here?

-It probably has an owner.

-I will call the owner and persuade them!

-Yes, it’s fine if you can convince them.

The orcs rushed out excitedly the moment Odaigon gave them permission.
