Chapter 233
I’d always been curious.
What would it feel like to become a god?
Ever since Hypnosis-chan created that button.
And now, finally, with that button pressed—
It only took a single second to answer my question.
‘It feels amazing.’
My very existence had ascended several levels.
From something insignificant, like an insect, to a human—no, to the realm of legendary dragons.
The experience of my soul becoming great—
The euphoria that accompanied it—
It was sweeter than any pleasure I’d tasted in my life.
Even the moments of sharing love with my wives, exchanging our deepest emotions...
This feeling far, far surpassed that.
Simply put, the pleasure I was experiencing right now—
It wasn’t something that could even be compared to the joys of mortality.
It was like the pure euphoria of a hyper-powerful drug, but without any side effects.
‘This is a hundred thousand times better than losing my virginity for the first time....’
-Fidget.
"Y-Yujin?"
"What are you...?"
"......?"
A voice pulled me out of my bliss.
Two mortals were looking up at me.
Two mortal women with brown and pink hair.
I turned to them, smiling with a benevolence befitting a god. I would grant these insignificant mortals the honor of beholding divinity—
-Pause.
‘Wait, what the hell am I saying?’
And just like that, my self-absorbed delusions came to a screeching halt.
It was as though my soul had slammed on the brakes, jolting me back to reality.
...A shiver ran down my spine.
Holy hell. Feeling good didn’t excuse this.
Calling Shia and Alice “insignificant mortals”?
How ungrateful could I get toward the two people who made me into someone worthwhile?
No. To say such things about my beloved wives... I couldn’t forgive myself.
I hurriedly placed myself under self-hypnosis.
‘From this moment forward, Seo Yujin will not get carried away for five minutes just because he’s become a god.’
-Ding.
[.......]
‘Okay. That’s better.’
The divine euphoria that had been setting off fireworks within me began to subside.
Self-hypnosis didn’t work quite the same way it did when I was mortal, but...
The divinity within me seemed to sense my intent and started calming on its own.
The waves of pleasure coursing through my body receded as well.
‘Damn. I almost had a non-stimulated sprinkler blast. What am I, the Constellation of Sprinklers or something....’
-Pause.
‘Ah. So that’s why she invaded.’
Suddenly, I understood the final boss’s sudden intrusion.
Why she had gone so far as to tamper with other dimensions’ status windows to invade us.
This taste—
Once you knew it, you couldn’t go back.
Even I, a former Constellation with a history as the Breeding Guy, had almost lost my reason to the overwhelming euphoria.
It made perfect sense that she, too, would wander the universe as a divinity-addicted dopamine junkie.
In that instant, my image of the final boss dropped to that of a hopeless addict.
-Fidget.
"Uh, um. Yujin? You’re Yujin, right?"
"Disciple. I mean, Disciple-nim...?"
"Ah."
The voices pulled me out of my thoughts.
Alice and my Master were looking at me, their faces full of confusion and uncertainty.
Honestly, I didn’t need to look at their faces to know.
Becoming a god had granted me full clarity.
I could see their very souls trembling before me.
I could feel the weight of my presence pressing down on them.
"Sigh...."
‘Yeah. I knew this would happen.’
-Whoosh.
After a deep sigh, I silently leapt forward.
I already knew what would happen if I lingered here any longer.
"Y-Yujin!!"
"Disciple!!!"
-Flash.
The two reached out toward me, their hands grasping at empty air.
But I didn’t turn around.
[“Come back soon... you idiot.”]
‘Sorry, Shia. I really can’t come back.’
Because I had already made up my mind.
***
After Yujin left, the three of them gasped for breath in unison.
The three who had directly interacted with Yujin: Shia, Alice, and Aika.
“Haah, haah...” “What, what, what was that!!?” “My disciple suddenly...!!”
The hyperventilation lasted for almost 10 more seconds. Even Aika, who no longer needed to breathe, was caught in it. Facing the constellations directly was that overwhelming.
Thwip.Whoosh.Thwip. Flap flap.Thud thud. Slosh.Ping.Halt.
Of course, the three S-Class members didn’t agree.
“...Yeah. I don’t look like that. I’m an adult!” “I’m way more feminine than that!”
Even Haru and Winterer were dissatisfied with how they were being treated. Only the three love-struck members seemed happy, proudly thinking, ‘I’m at least that good.’
But this chaotic scene didn’t last long.
“Until that damn bastard’s ass is completely flattened...” “Wait a second. We’ve almost cleared all the monsters!?” “...Already!!!?”
Alice’s eyes were scanning the surroundings. The buildings were closer now. They were falling. Finally, the clear, bright sky of dawn.
The sky that had been filled with dark monsters was now completely free of them.
The thirty thousand monsters were all eradicated in just three minutes.
Seol Hayeon’s face showed surprise.
“...That pervert, whatever he is, he did it!!”
The threat that had almost shaken the entire world, not just Seoul or Korea, was gone. Thanks to Yujin, who had carried the team with his hard work.
Seol Hayeon’s anger had dissipated, thanks to this incredible achievement. The EX-Class Gate. Final clear.
With joyful eyes, everyone searched for Yujin.
‘Having done something this great, I should get the chairmanship of the association as a reward...’
Halt.
“...Hm?”
But just as that thought crossed her mind, the mood suddenly took a sharp turn.
Yujin was approaching them, his expression...
It was far too dark.
Sulk.
‘...Am I really going to be alone now?’
He knew. He had become a constellation and could no longer live among mortals. If he stayed, the souls of those he loved would eventually shatter.
Just as Hypnosis-chan had said, he would build a sanctuary in that faraway place and live alone there for the rest of his life.
‘Hypnosis-chan. You were so awesome...’
Swoosh.
‘...I told you we’d be together, you silly little sister.’
There was more.
Only now did he realize that Hypnosis-chan was missing.
She was a being born from the Saintess and his own divine power. So, she should have been detectable wherever she was.
But no matter how much he called out, there was no answer. He finally realized that the small, cute figure had been erased.
‘I wondered how you broke the seal and barged in... You fool.’
Knowing her noble sacrifice made it even harder to bear.
‘If you’re gone too, it’s truly a bad ending.’
In other words, for Yujin, this was a bad ending. He saved the world, but as a price, he had to live the rest of his life in solitude.
His expression could not brighten.
Swoosh...
‘But I still have to do what I must.’
Despite it all, Yujin didn’t fly straight up. Instead, he approached the others one last time.
Shudder.
“D-Disciple... no, Master...” “...” ‘If I talk to you, you’ll probably be in bed for months.’
He wasn’t approaching to say goodbye.
He came closer for one last thing.
Slide.
“...Huh?” ‘Master, I don’t want anyone else to see you in just your underwear.’
It was his final gift, his last selfishness, to cover the body of the one he loved before leaving.
The three women vaguely realized its meaning.
“D-Disciple!!” “Why are you making that face, Yujin...!!” “Jerk. That kind of... retriever with a broken cup face...”
Smiles.
‘Sorry, guys. This is where we part ways.’
Yujin didn’t say a word, just smiled. In his eyes, golden light flickered.
‘Yushia. Alice Littonwood. Ninomiya Aika. Forget the feelings you had for me, live happily...’
And so, the final moment arrived.
【———I told you so.】
Puff.
【Give up the divinity quietly.】 “...Cough!!?” “Y-Yujin!!!!”
A woman’s hand pierced his chest.
The final moment. Phase 3 of the EX-Class Gate raid began.
