Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 269

Having unleashed Triaina’s power and even hurled a spear to attack Triton, Se-un turned his back without hesitation to install Leviathan’s Orb.

The origin of power where the most energy was gathered, even from the White Whale’s corpse.

He carefully placed the orb in the center of the widely opened mouth and inscribed the snake pattern, Leviathan’s symbol, coiling around it.

Kwang!

Charrrrr-!!

Triton’s counterattack was faster than expected.

To break free this quickly, even after borrowing the power of Triaina, a weapon of a chief god.

Indeed, a chief god is a chief god.

Moreover, judging by his condition, he had become even stronger than before, though I don’t know why.

However, it didn’t matter. Se-un had also installed Leviathan’s Orb faster than the scheduled time.

– The constellation, ‘Serpent of Envy,’ descends upon its sanctuary.

The black seawater of the Black Sea recedes.

A giant snake with blue scales begins to coil around the White Whale’s corpse.

Just how enormous is it?

All that is immediately visible is a head so massive it cannot be compared to the White Whale, and a tail that wraps around the Black Sea.

Its size is so immense that it’s impossible to see its entire body with both eyes.

“No, no way, Leviathan…….”

Kwaaaang-!!!

The snake’s tail, as large as a house—no, the expression ‘as large as a house’ felt too insignificant—crushed Triton.

Triton was slammed into the ground without even having time to react.

Along with that, Leviathan’s blue eyes looked down at Se-un.

– Are you alright? My child.

Leviathan’s voice pierced through his mind.

Its presence was on a completely different level compared to what he had felt in the deep sea of the tutorial.

Just hearing the voice made his mind tingle and his legs give out.

He was already exhausted, and being overwhelmed by Leviathan’s presence made it difficult to stay conscious.

Perhaps sensing that situation?

Leviathan stopped speaking and quietly lowered its head.

Ssshhh-

“Would this form be more comfortable for you?”

Blue light gathered in front of Leviathan’s head and transformed into the figure of a benevolent woman.

Beautiful, translucent silk clothes, as if made from the shed skin of a blue snake, fluttered, and her abundant sky-blue hair billowed like waves.

Her calmly lowered gaze could stop a heart just by looking at it, but it also conveyed a motherly kindness and gentleness.

Personification of will.

It was a form that Leviathan had created out of consideration for Se-un.

“……Thank you.”

“Your face is half gone. It must be because of that wretch. You’ve suffered a lot, my child.”

Thump!

“Wa, wait a minute!”

Thump!

“Ugh!”

Kwaang!

“Please…….”

Leviathan looked at Se-un with pitiful eyes.

At the same time, the giant Leviathan’s tail surrounding the tomb began to strike Triton, who was pinned to the ground.

Just a tail swing, seemingly without much force.

With that simple attack, Triton was brutally crushed without even reacting.

The force was so strong that one of the prongs of the trident broke off and flew far away.

‘My child, huh…….’

When he first spoke with Leviathan, she used that expression to Shax, who was the leader of the merfolk at the time.

Perhaps, it was a title she only used for those she completely considered to be on her side.

For her to use that title for Se-un meant that her trust in Se-un had grown that much stronger.

“I don’t know how to express my gratitude. To go through such hardship, risking your life because of me…….”

Her hand brushed against Se-un’s cheek.

In response to that movement, the blue snake’s body surrounding the tomb slithered.

It was a subtle movement, but because its size was so enormous, it caused the ground to shake and the currents to stir.

Thump!

“Ugh…….”

Even so, her tail didn’t leave Triton alone.

“It’s alright. It was something I volunteered for, and I haven’t completely finished the contract yet.”

When contracting with Leviathan, he had promised her two things.

One was to establish her sanctuary, and the other was to destroy Lucifer’s forces.

He had somehow managed to set up the sanctuary, but the guilds of followers who served Lucifer were quite high-level, so he would have to pass the fifth Shelter to encounter them.

Even those in the fifth Shelter were just watchmen, and the truly skilled ones were located much higher up.

“At the time, I lacked trust in you, who came so suddenly. But now, I believe in you. My child.”

“Ugh, cough…….”

“First, before we have a proper conversation, I need to finish off that wretch.”

Crackle!

“Kuaaaaak!”

Leviathan’s tail wrapped around Triton.

Whether it was a mistake in controlling her strength or intentional, Triton had to endure pain similar to an anaconda squeezing its prey.

Bones broke, and internal organs twisted. The broken bone fragments pierced the internal organs, mixing with blood inside.

Terrible pain.

Triton was filled with terror at the pain he had never experienced even when he was trapped in the abyss, his father’s punishment.

“You…… You dared to torment my child.”

“Ugh! I, I was just following orders! It’s all because of my father! No, because of Lord Zeus!”

Snap!

“Ugh! It’s true! Because of Pan’s actions, Olympus’s honor was tarnished, so he ordered me to do it!”

Snap!

“Hmph, think about it! How could I, a mere lower constellation, refuse the orders of a chief god? Especially my father’s orders!”

His words were probably not entirely false.

In the first place, Triton was called one of Olympus’s troublemakers, but he wouldn’t have gone so far as to leave Olympus to avenge Pan.

As he said, Triton had come down to carry out a mission under Poseidon’s orders.

However, there were things missing from that excuse.

Even without Se-un telling her, Leviathan had already noticed that fact.

“Is that all?”

“Ye, yes…….”

Kwaddeudeuk-

“Kuaaaaaak!!”

Leviathan’s tail contracted.

A chilling sound spread through the Black Sea, and divine blood flowed down from under the tail.

Judging by the degree to which the tail was compressed, Triton’s body, trapped inside, must have already been in tatters.

“No! No! I was promised rewards! White Lotus Pearls for my father, White Wine for Dionysus, and a high position for Lord Zeus! Sniffle…….”

No one can withstand torture, can they?

Triton spat out the truth due to the pressure and pain crushing his entire body.

No, perhaps constellations are even more vulnerable to torture. As beings who exist as constellations, they hardly ever feel pain.

The pain they were feeling for the first time in hundreds or thousands of years must have been an endless and terrible fear for them.

“Since you were promised rewards, it can’t be said that there was only coercion from them.”

“Ugh…… Plea, please, just spare my life…… If you spare me…… I’ll live like a dead man in the depths of Olympus!”

“You’ve asked the wrong person to beg for your life. The one you should be begging for your life is not me, but my child.”

“I’m, I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’ll never do anything like this again! If I go back, I’ll live like a dead man in the deep sea of Olympus!”

Leviathan turned her head to look at Se-un.

For a brief moment, he considered ways to use Triton.

He thought of various methods, such as sending him back to Olympus to bring back the rewards and extort them, or using him as a spy in Olympus, but…….

‘It’s uncertain.’

The opponent is Triton.

Right now, he’s consumed by fear and crying, but there’s no telling how his attitude will change as soon as he returns to Olympus.

He might become a double agent and deceive Se-un, or he might nurture the flames of revenge and come back as an even greater threat.

If the opponent were a player, he could brainwash them or engrave a curse mark, but the opponent is a constellation. It was impossible to use him safely no matter what method he used.

Having made that judgment, Se-un shook his head.

At that moment, Triton realized. That Se-un’s gesture acted as a death sentence for him.

Whoosh-

Leviathan’s tail threw Triton upwards.

Then, his lower body, which had been so beautiful with shark scales and glossy dolphin tails, was revealed, so damaged that it was unrecognizable.

The moment Triton, who had risen pitifully, experienced freedom from the pressure for a moment.

Crunch!

“Ugh-”

Leviathan’s head, which had been waiting for an opportunity, bit down on Triton.

Sharp fangs pierced Triton’s torso and injected a deep blue poison.

A deadly poison that even a constellation could never withstand.

“Please…… I am…… the son of the great sea god…….”

Triton’s face turned blue and he slowly died.

The divine blood that had maintained the power of transcendence stopped circulating, and the blessing of the sea that had rippled through his body disappeared.

Triton, the son of Poseidon and the god of the sea. It was the moment when another constellation that existed in Olympus fell.

“Thank you.”

“Gratitude? If even one of your limbs had been severed, I would have given this wretch eternal torment worse than death.”

In that moment, a murderous intent flashed in Leviathan’s eyes.

She was endlessly benevolent to Se-un, but she was also one of the Seven Demon Gods, the highest-ranking among the evil gods.

As long as she was on his side, he could already feel relieved about the upcoming Divine-Demonic War.

“However, it’s a pity. It would be good to swallow this wretch for your growth…… But I won’t be able to borrow Beelzebub’s authority here.”

Certainly, even if he tried to use it right away, the Gluttony Authority didn’t listen.

The Greed Authority he had obtained before his regression was recognized as Se-un’s and became a separate warehouse, but this Gluttony Authority was a bit different.

Using the authority only provided a passage to Beelzebub, and as a result, he could not obtain the appropriate nourishment unless Beelzebub devoured it.

Perhaps it was because of the unique nature of this Black Sea that interfered with communication.

“I had an idea anyway.”

Se-un took out a jewel from his chest.

A beautiful jewel scattering dazzling light. It was the Essence of Radiance that even Mammon had coveted.

“Are you really alright? It’s true that the original item belongs to this sea, but you obtained the essence. You could use it sufficiently for yourself…….”

“It’s alright.”

Essence of Radiance.

As she said, there were endless ways to utilize this.

Even if he simply used it like a mana stone, it would clearly show efficiency beyond that of a top-grade mana stone.

However, no matter how well he used this essence, it would be less effective than strengthening the Authority of Envy.

“I’m really grateful…….”

She received the Essence of Radiance.

Then, the Essence of Radiance, emitting more light than usual, floated up and was swallowed into Leviathan’s giant mouth.

In that moment.

Hwaaaat-!

Radiance poured out from Leviathan. At the same time, the black seawater of the Black Sea gradually began to purify.

It wasn’t just the color that was fading, but the stagnant flow and accumulated impurities were disappearing, and the corpses rotting in the Black Sea disappeared into the sand as if they were being liberated.

All that remained was one thing.

The White Whale’s corpse where Leviathan’s Orb was installed.

– The Black Sea has regained the Essence of Radiance.

– The Black Sea begins to purify.

– The Black Sea returns to its original form, the ‘Sea of Radiance.’

Clearly, the surroundings, which were deep in the abyss where not even a ray of light could enter, were overflowing with blue light.

All directions were overflowing with the abundant vitality of the sea.

This was the power of the Essence of Radiance.

Along with that, Leviathan’s power also recovered rapidly.

The Leviathan’s body surrounding the tomb grew larger, as if to prove that this was just the tip of the iceberg, and surrounded the Black Sea, no, the entire Sea of Radiance.

“Thank you…….”

A single drop of clear tears fell on Leviathan’s cheek.

What emotions were contained in those tears? Regret for the past? The emotion of regaining the Sea of Radiance? The emotion of regaining lost power?

The true meaning could not be known.

Just, at the moment when she gently stroked Se-un’s head.

– The Demon God of Envy, ‘Leviathan,’ regains her original power.

– The Authority of Envy is strengthened.

As Se-un had expected, the Authority of Envy regained its power closer to its original state.
