The Constellation Returned From Hell

Chapter 560

‘At this point I’m not sure whether I’ve been sent to a past version of the Abyss or if I’ve just been hit with a mental attack...’

Choi Yeonseung closed his eyes tightly before opening them again, but the berserker constellation looked the same. Shockingly, he was bowing in humility to the Mechanical Device that Worships Power.

If I carry out the task you give now, you will give me the promised reward, right...? My kingdom is currently parched...

Look, you’re talking about rewards even before you start working. That’s why you keep failing. Do you think I won’t reward you if you get the job done? That in itself reveals your shallowness.

I-I’m sorry. It’s just that it’s very urgent...

Learn from the Goddess of Defeat and Sloth, whom I serve. You keep failing because you only have unsightly and weak realms.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry...

‘Kill me now...’

Choi Yeonseung didn’t particularly like the berserker constellation, but he still couldn’t bring himself to watch him act like this.

The Mechanical Device that Worships Power turned to Choi Yeonseung.

This constellation might look unreliable, and he actually is, but he’ll still be a useful guide. He knows the areas around the Master of Slowness and Silence. Take him and use him.

It’s a pleasure!

“Yes...”

For your information, don’t expect much from his fighting power.

I-I’m sorry... I will do my best.

Choi Yeonseung decided not to say anything else.

‘I won’t be able to look at him the same way when I get back...’

***

Undefeated Incarnation of Training... That is a really cool title. I’m envious.

“Oh... Uh, thanks...’

As they moved together, the berserker constellation looked at Choi Yeonseung with envy. Choi Yeonseung was quite flustered because it wasn’t a look of flattery but one of sincere admiration.

“Uh... Are you working for the Mechanical Device that Worships Power?”

That’s correct. I’m so weak that it’s difficult for me to survive in this area where so many constellations are competing against each other. Last time, I got my hands on a small area but I almost got killed by some other constellations.

The stronger the constellation’s realm and power of existence, the more distinct their individuality became. In this regard, it was natural for the berserker constellation to be sane and kind when he was currently too weak to protect any of his realms.

Of course, this didn’t mean Choi Yeonseung could get used to it.

“And why did your master entrust you with being my guide in dealing with the Master of Slowness and Silence?”

There are several constellations around the realm of the Master of Slowness and Silence. If you approach the Master of Slowness and Silence in the wrong way, the other constellations might pounce on you.

Although constellations seemed to be in a fierce conflict on Earth, the Abyss had, in fact, been in a fairly stable state throughout its history. The value of the souls gathered on Earth was so great that constellations made agreements and compromises with each other. It was without those that constellations would show their true colors.

The instant they clashed, they unleashed their household members against each other, risking their lives to target the other’s kingdom.

“I see. So attacking the Master of Slowness and Silence might lead to a misunderstanding?”

Choi Yeonseung didn’t want to fight for absurd reasons against ancient constellations whose names he didn’t even know.

[The ‘Seaweed of the Deep Sea’ brings about a tsunami.]

[The ‘Strategist of Wisdom and Willpower’ wields a spear and summons an army.]

Not long after he finished speaking, they came across a scene that proved what the berserker constellation had said.

In fact, it was rare to see two constellations engaging in an all-out battle in the Abyss. However, in the distant ancient Abyss, constellations wielded their power without any rules until one side fell.

The harsh wilderness suddenly was suddenly consumed by a sea, which swept away the army of the Strategist of Wisdom and Willpower. As everything was quickly flooded, the races unfamiliar with the sea were on the brink of disaster.

However, the Strategist of Wisdom and Willpower didn’t lose his will to fight. On the contrary, his fury only grew, prompting him to summon more troops.

The soldiers emerged on a ship used only by their race, sweeping across the sea and hunting the monsters who served the Seaweed of the Deep Sea. They were like sailors hunting a whale through a raging storm.

Choi Yeonseung and the berserker constellation watched the battle of the constellations with interest. It was always fun to watch a fight like this without getting involved.

As a constellation, there was little enjoyment to be had in the Abyss. Managing one’s kingdom and territories and dealing with competitors usually led to a dull and joyless life.

It was said that constellations had fun with their household members, but in fact, finding really interesting household members was quite rare. Most of them were just fanatics who shouted, “I will devote my faith to you!”

In contrast to that, spectating a fight between constellations was bound to be exciting. There was a reason constellations cursed at the combatants if they weren’t allowed to spectate their constellation battle.

[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ is furious and asking what you are doing in her territory!]

[The ‘Seaweed of the Deep Sea’ ignores it.]

[The ‘Strategist of Wisdom and Willpower’ ignores it.]

“...”

Choi Yeonseung was taken aback for two reasons. Firstly, he was surprised to see the Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place here.

And secondly...

‘These bastards are fighting in someone else’s territory??’

It was utterly despicable to fight like crazy without thinking about the aftermath in someone else’s territory!

“I need to help.”

Choi Yeonseung stood up, and the berserker constellation was stunned.

Getting involved in someone else’s fight won’t do much good.

“I know that, but...”

Has this fight ignited a fire within you?

“...Sure, you could call it that.”

Choi Yeonseung wouldn’t be able to explain to the berserker constellation that he had a connection to the observer constellation.

The berserker constellation looked at Choi Yeonseung with an expression of admiration. Only powerful constellations could exhibit such confidence—joining a fight between other constellations just because he wanted to.

How cool!

The berserker constellation wondered if one day he could become like him.

Baaang!

Choi Yeonseung burst into the scene. His Origin of the Celestial Kick, filled with power of existence, swept in an arc, parting the sea that filled the area.

He had split the sea with a single kick.

[The ‘Seaweed of the Deep Sea’ is angry with your rude interference in the battle.]

[He asks if you have a death wish.]

[The ‘Strategist of Wisdom and Willpower’ clicks his tongue at the violence that ruined the beautiful fight.]

[He laughs at your savagery.]

...These constellations dared to criticize him even though they were the ones ruining someone else’s territory?

After all this time, Choi Yeonseung had returned to a point in time when he had been hunting constellations on the outskirts of the Abyss. He wasn’t on Earth, so he no longer had to worry about being watched by other constellations or fear that people’s homes would be destroyed.

Choi Yeonseung just had to unleash his power. He clenched his fists and gathered strength in his feet. Then, he vanished and reappeared in front of the Seaweed of the Deep Sea. The seaweed constellation was flustered because he hadn’t registered his movement.

Choi Yeonseung’s Origin of the Celestial Fist exploded toward him.

Bam!!!

The power of existence fused with martial arts shook the constellations. Although he had been hit only once, the Seaweed of the Deep Sea trashed about in an agony he had never felt before. He was accustomed to fighting with his own household members, not to enemy constellations rushing in and launching devastating attacks by themselves.

Choi Yeonseung showed no mercy to his agonized opponent. After spreading out, his power dissipated and converged once more.

[The ‘Seaweed of the Deep Sea’ is fleeing!]

Unable to endure such torment, the Seaweed of the Deep Sea turned around and ran away from the battlefield. The household members were bewildered as the water receded.

All that was left was the Strategist of Wisdom and Willpower. He reacted late, likely because he was also baffled by this mysterious enemy that had suddenly barged in and smashed the seaweed constellation.

[The ‘Strategist of Wisdom and Willpower’ predicts your movements with the power...]

The strategist constellation tried to read Choi Yeonseung’s movements first, but Choi Yeonseung’s ability to predict the future was far superior. He trampled on the strategist constellation’s power with one of the same type but vastly superior.

Then, he rushed in like before.

Bang!

[The ‘Strategist of Wisdom and Willpower’ is in pain and has forgotten to give commands!]

[His willpower is broken!]

[The ‘Strategist of Wisdom and Willpower’ runs away from the battlefield.]

His army was useless without the leader’s command.

Having been smashed by a third party, the two constellations hurriedly fled from the battlefield without caring about their household members.

The berserker constellation was greatly impressed by the sight.

Amazing...! I didn’t know you were this strong!!

“It’s not a big deal. Let’s get moving.”

Choi Yeonseung was eager to leave this place as soon as possible. There was nothing good about lingering. Besides drawing too much attention from other constellations, he didn’t know how the observer constellation would react if they met.

I... I’m still weak now, but one day, I want to be as strong as you, Undefeated Incarnation of Training!

“Is that really necessary...?” Choi Yeonseung trailed off as he looked at the berserker constellation. It was a real shame that this constellation’s intelligence and sanity would decline as he got stronger.

Yes! That’s what I have to do.

“Sure. You don’t seem like the type who can be dissuaded... Just make sure to pursue madness in moderation.”

Choi Yeonseung and the berserker constellation quickly left the realm.

After managing to get her realm under control, Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place stared at Choi Yeonseung as he disappeared in the distance.

[The ‘Observer Who Returned From a Cold Place’ stares intently!]

***

This is the realm of the Master of Slowness and Silence.

“...?”

Choi Yeonseung was taken aback. This was completely different from what a normal kingdom would look like. There were no priests who served the constellation directly, no buildings to honor him, no minions to send their faith...

“Why isn’t there anything?”

Well, that’s just how the Master of Slowness and Silence is, right?

The berserker constellation was wondering why Choi Yeonseung would even ask such a question.

Choi Yeonseung frowned as if he had a headache. Just as the goddess of sloth had sealed herself, not all constellations in the Abyss were active. Considering the personality of the Master of Slowness and Silence, it wasn’t strange for him to keep himself sealed away or secluded like this.

“Do the other constellations leave this realm alone?”

As you can see, there’s nothing in this realm. Of course, other constellations could invade this realm with their household members, but there are so many other realms around. Why bother with this one?

Choi Yeonseung looked around, lost in thought. Destroying or occupying this realm wouldn’t hurt the Master of Slowness and Silence that much. How could he hit the Master of Slowness and Silence so that it would make a difference in the present? Choi Yeonseung was agonizing over it when something crossed his mind.

The solution wasn’t necessarily to somehow get rid of the Master of Slowness and Silence at this point in time. Rather, he just had to come up with a way of defeating him in the present.

‘If I make a clone... and keep it sealed for a long time...’

Choi Yeonseung made some rough calculations before turning to the berserker constellation and asking, “Do you happen to know how the Master of Slowness and Silence sealed himself?”

Huh?! Why would you do such a stupid thing? Don’t do it! It’s such a waste to do that!
