Chapter 360: For the throne (4)

Translator: miraclerifle

Flash!

An amazing amount of aura exploded.

The strength of the explosion made everybody in the tower scream.

“Aaah! What is this?!”

“Aaaaaaaaaak!”

It caused a strong gust of wind. It came with intense heat that made it feel as if their skin would burn.

Neither the Executive Board nor their artifacts could get close to Ju-Heon.

“Fuck!”

“What did that bastard just do?!”

Then there was bright light that temporarily blinded them. Ju-Heon smiled while looking at them.

While that was going on…

Zhen Cai Yuan, who had picked up the call, was amazed at what was happening in front of her.

[#$&$#!]

[Aaah! Save me!]

[$&#!]

[This isn’t it, this is wrooooooong!]

A bright light was flashing out from Ju-Heon’s island, Tartarus. There were many cells here but the light was coming from a pit.

The 1,000 evil god artifacts that had been captured by the rope felt as if they would die.

[What is this after suddenly dragging us out?!]

[Aaah! My body is being ground up! Gr…!]

[Uggggggh!]

There were terribly sounding grinding blades inside the pit.

Roooooooooooooooooar!

Screeeeeeeech!

The size of each blade was about the size of most houses. There were also drills and other types of grinding devices inside the pit to attack these evil god artifacts.

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!]

The grinding blades ruthlessly chopped, cut, and ground the artifacts’ bodies into dust.

They were so strong that even these Divine-Grade artifacts could not hold on.

The creator of this cruel and vicious grinding device was none other than Ju-Heon’s twin sister Joy.

Nobody else could have done it. Joy had installed this artifact grinder in the prison not too long ago.

‘Artifacts cannot be destroyed by missiles or even nuclear weapons.’

That was why there were only two ways to destroy artifacts.

First was to use strong attack-type artifacts and the second was to destroy them with stupidly strong Dominance.

But Ju-Heon didn’t have time to make 1,000+ artifacts explode one by one.

It was annoying and a waste of time.

That was why Ju-Heon asked Joy if there was a way to destroy all of these artifacts at once.

As a result, this murdering artifact crusher was created, full of Joy’s personal ‘tastes.’

She truly deserved to be an engineer as she used a Divine-Grade artifact of destruction to create this machine!

The artifacts coughed up blood as they were chopped up until they started exploding.

The evil god artifacts tried desperately to crawl out of the pit, but…

“Mm, no. Stay there.”

[Aaah!]

Zhen Cai Yuan smiled brightly at them and kicked the artifacts back into the pit.

They couldn’t do anything since this Four Emperors-Grade artifact user was standing as guard.

The kicked evil god artifacts cried as they fell back into the pit.

Cruuuuuuuuuuuunch!

They were sliced by the blades and met their demise.

After grinding them for a while to the point all of the nameless evil gods and other artifacts were all ground up…

The light had burst out from the pit.

The odd thing was that two pillars of light shot up, probably because they used a good number of Divine-Grade artifacts this time.

It was at that moment.

Bang!

Salieri and Daji’s artifacts had awakened.

Ju-Heon would usually get messages about it, but the Crow’s power was completely used up right now.

No messages popped up.

However, Ju-Heon could tell what happened even without getting any messages.

‘I’ve awakened five of the Majesty’s Keys.’

Even if it was not completely awakened, he should be able to use about eighty percent of the key’s abilities.

And then…

“Open the door!”

He shouted and a circle of light appeared on the wall created by the corpse.

Bang!

That light was a path connected to the outside!

The former Majesty’s power must be strong though because the hole was pretty small. But it was enough to make the Pandora people anxious.

“Fuck! A door opened!”

“Did he suppress the power of the corpse?!”

“He’s going to leave!”

But the corpse was pretty strong.

It started reacting as soon as Ju-Heon used the Majesty’s Key to create a door.

Booboboboooooooooom!

The Majesty’s Key was a Treasure that could open and close any door.

If Ju-Heon tried to open the door, this corpse would do what it could to close it back.

“Captain-nim! The hole is getting smaller and smaller!”

“Hurry!”

It was closing extremely quickly. Ju-Heon immediately turned into fog as the hole got smaller.

Pandora’s people started shouting.

“That bastard is trying to get out!”

“We must not let him out of here!”

They used their artifacts but none of them could stop Ju-Heon who had turned into fog.

“Hahaha, I should swipe everything from that tomb this time!”

Ju-Heon burst forth like a gust of wind and escaped through the hole.

Ju-Heon was the first to leave and a few of the team members made it out as well. The door slammed shut.

“Fuck!”

“Some of the others made it out too! Merlin would be able to move easier if we kept them here!”

They then shouted toward the Pandora System artifact, the corpse, that had not stopped working yet.

“Let us out of here too!”

“We need to stop those bastards who just went out!”

“No, just destroy everything!”

Of course, the corpse would not listen to them. Only Merlin could control this corpse.

However, the corpse still reacted right away. To be more specific, it was the crackling monitor that was connected to the corpse.

[Starting… system… now.]

But Ju-Heon’s team members would not just sit back and let that happen.

Craaaaaack!

A vicious thunderbolt temporarily paralyzed the system artifact.

“!”

Pandora’s people flinched in shock and then heard voices behind them.

“Where do you think you are going? Hey misters, we are in charge of taking care of you guys.”

The Monarch of Pushoverness looked quite scary snickering with da Vinci’s artifact in his hand. Julian also smiled brightly.

“How about we start with an experience?”

“An experience?”

“The experience of being taxidermied alive.”

“W, what?!”

Screams echoed out of the tower after Julian’s unusually angry voice.

While that was going on…

[Aaaaaaaaaak! Fuck, save me! Aaah!]

[Huff… huff! Merlin, can you hear us? Seo Ju-Heon and some of those bastards have run off!]

[Seo Ju-Heon used a Treasure! Huff… ahh! Fuck, stop chasing me!]

Merlin was having a major headache while listening to the pitiful screams through the earphone.

‘Damn it.’

She had made her soul leave the body to hold back Gungnir for their plan to steal the treasures.

But what?

‘Seo Ju-Heon can use the Treasure? But how?!’

The screams continued while she had a hand against her temples.

[Hurry! Proceed with the plan! This is Pandora’s last chance!]

Of course she knew that.

But things were different if Seo Ju-Heon could use the Treasures.

‘How can he use the Treasures even though the Crow is gone?’

Had his contract with the Crow not been disconnected?

That wasn’t all.

‘The apocalypse artifacts in storage are gone too!’

They might have flown off to Tartarus after hearing the screams of the evil god artifacts, but about half of the disaster artifacts Merlin planned on using were gone.

‘Tsk, these are not enough…!’

The other disaster artifacts were in the Great Prison.

It was at that moment.

Shhhhhhhh!

“!”

Merlin urgently activated an artifact as she saw Gungnir frantically flying over.

Gungnir stabbed into Merlin’s back at that moment.

“Ugh!”

Gungnir’s butt was shaking with joy after stabbing Merlin again.

[#$#&!]

I really stabbed her this time! I really did!

Gungnir was whistling as it moved away from Merlin. It then flew around in circles around this area just in case.

It was at that moment.

“What a troublesome spear.”

Someone was in this library with Merlin. It was a middle-aged man.

“You sure are great at dodging it.”

Something was struggling inside a pile of sand as the man said that.

“Who knew you would have to move into a nonliving item like this?”

Merlin was huffing after having no choice but to move into something like this. She had never felt such indignity before.

However, there was nothing she could do about it.

This was already the sixth time she was stabbed by Gungnir.

She was tricking Gungnir by moving her soul each time but Gungnir seemed to be slowly realizing that something was weird.

It was taking less and less time for it to find her and it even stabbed Merlin before she could possess someone else’s body.

“Ah, whatever. What am I in this time? I can’t see anything. Am I in a book?”

The man laughed out loud.

“You wish you were in a book. You’re in cat shit, poop.”

“?!”

Merlin screamed as if she heard something she shouldn’t have heard.

“Why?! Why is there poop in a library?! Kyaaaa! Who allowed a cat into this library?!”

The man petted the cat on his lap as he continued to speak.

“It is quite normal in Islam.”

Merlin couldn’t speak for a bit before she shouted again.

“Whatever! I hope you haven’t been wasting your time in this library!”

“Of course not.”

Merlin was inside a library artifact right now.

It was different from the Akashic records but it was still a world-renowned library artifact.

[Trove of Wealth – Library of Alexandria (S-Grade:Legendary Hero Grade – Possession Artifact)]

This was also Merlin’s laboratory.

It was the oldest library in the world and the trove of Mediterranean knowledge. It was a sacred place for scientists and scholars of the time.

This artifact was one that gathered the records of all mythologies, knowledge, prophecies, and records in the world.

This was where Merlin had learned how to create Un-known.

Most importantly, this man in front of her…

He was no ordinary person.

“Aren’t you forgetting the blessing I gave for you to meet the great Quran artifact here?”

That was right.

The person in front of her was one of the Four Emperors in the past but a man who could not appear in the world in this lifetime.

This was the Monarch of Evangelism.

Well, he was originally a difficult enemy for Ju-Heon who used the Avesta Sacred Text artifact to turn the people of the world into believers, but…

“Seo Ju-Heon took that artifact too.”

He had lost his chance to make a mark in this world.

Most importantly, he was grinding his teeth in anger at Ju-Heon.

Why?

“That bastard stopped me from becoming one of the Four Emperors. He stopped me from completing the will of the All Mighty Allah!”

That was the main reason.

Was he said to have the Quran in one hand and a sword in the other?

This man was sponsoring artifact terrorist organizations and trying to unite the world under Islam.

Merlin was the one who had brought the Monarch of Evangelism here. She had been focusing on the Raven’s Tears artifact that had appeared every so often.

Why?

‘Seo Ju-Heon has memories of his past life.’

She had used the knowledge from this library and created the camera artifact to try to replicate his Raven’s Tears.

But all of them had failed.

She was unable to create an artifact at the level of the Raven’s Tears.

Merlin had found the Quran in this artifact while searching for ways to replicate it. Of course, the Quran was an artifact that could not be used without a great Fit.

She started searching for people who could use it until she met the Monarch of Evangelism, who used the Quran artifact here and was able to see the future.

The Quran was a prophecy artifact similar to the Book of Revelations.

He was able to learn some things about his past life in the process as well.

“So how was it? How did it go with that kid? You grabbed him from the US right?”

That kid they were talking about was Louie Martin.

They thought that he was Jaeha’s son but he was actually an Un-known created from Jaeha.

The Monarch of Evangelism smiled.

“I’m sure of it. That kid was sent here by the Time and Space artifact, one of the apocalypse artifacts. He is Yoo Jaeha’s Un-known from the future.”

“John was telling the truth. He said they killed all of Seo Ju-Heon’s tomb raiding team and turned them into Un-knowns.”

“Yes, but that kid seems to not remember anything about himself at all because he traveled through time and space…”

The cat’s poop Merlin laughed.

“Then you are saying that we can bring over Seo Ju-Heon and those other bastards’ Un-knowns as well?”

Seo Ju-Heon’s team’s Un-knowns.

Those should definitely be able to hinder Ju-Heon.

The Monarch of Evangelism soon responded.

“Oh right, that kid doesn’t have his memories but does seem to remember one of the Majesty’s Treasures.”

“Which one?”

“The Majesty’s Cradle.”

“!”

Merlin was truly shocked.

‘That’s a Treasure that hasn’t been located anywhere in this world…!’

Treasures were usually useless without a Majesty, but the Cradle had never even been found, which was why they had given up on it and created the Un-knowns.

The corner of Merlin’s nonexistent lips were twitching at this unexpected story of a treasure, but she held herself back.

“That is not important right now. That Treasure is useless if we cannot become the Majesty.”

The important thing was to head over to the Great Prison as quickly as possible.

‘The corpse has no intelligence so it is not good in the long-run.’

“The Crow, we need to get the Crow and turn someone into the Majesty! That is our only chance right now.”

“Okay, then I will find the other victims and Chairman Kwon to head into the prison. We will get revenge on Seo Ju-Heon who did this to us.”

“Sounds great! I will look for Seo Ju-Heon’s Un-known so please get there before Seo Ju-Heon…!”

But at that moment…

Bang!

“Kyaaaa! W, what the hell?!”

[#$&#$!]

That’s weird. I think I smell something here?

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gungnir that had been swirling around in the air started to stab into the library door.

As Merlin was getting freaked out…

Bang!

There was a loud explosion in the middle of the city.

It was the sound of the door to the Great Prison opening. Ju-Heon laughed after opening the door with an even stronger Majesty’s Key than before.

“Alright, where is our little Crow? Hmm?”

The Crow.

This artifact was the beginning and the end of everything.

He was about to start raiding this final tomb.
