After Ten Millennia in Hell

Chapter 463 - Soulmate



Chapter 463 - Soulmate

“You want me to be your incarnation?” asked Cha Yeon-Joo as she snorted after hearing a quick explanation from Oh Kang-Woo.

Kang-Woo nodded and replied, “Yeah.”

He had thought about Echidna, Halcyon, and others as candidates as well, but there was no one better than Yeon-Joo as his incarnation.

‘She’s not one to be pushed around by anyone.’

Yeon-Joo’s ability to freely control chains allowed her to attack at all ranges.

‘She’s unmatched in terms of weapon versatility.’

There weren’t many people who used weapons as unique as chains, so dealing with them was tricky. She was also capable of wide-area attacks, unlike common weapons like swords and spears.

‘I need someone who can wipe out monsters quickly to stop the abnormal phenomena of Gate monsters.’

If the power of Divinity was added to the chains made with Behemoth’s horn that contained the power of Deicide, the ability to kill gods, regular monsters would be torn apart like pieces of paper. But of course, Yeoon-Joo also had her flaws.

‘She’s weak in one-on-one battles.’

Although Yeon-Joo was very strong, chains in and of itself were a disadvantageous weapon against one opponent. It allowed her to perform wide-area attacks but the power contained in each chain was weak. It was effective against those who couldn’t properly deal with attacks that came at them from all sides, but it was useless against those at the level of Kim Si-Hun.

‘But that doesn’t matter.’

Kang-Woo did not expect her to go on death matches against powerful individual opponents.

‘I just need her to wipe out the swarm of monsters.’

It sounded cruel but Kang-Woo could not expect anything more from her. No matter how hard she tried, she would never rise to be on the same level as Si-Hun.

“What changes if I become your incarnation?” Yeon-Joo asked.

“You can borrow my Deific Essence.”

“Your Deific Essence?”

Kang-Woo lightly nodded. Unlike apostles who could only be granted buffs and blessings by using a certain amount of Divinity, incarnations were able to be given a portion of the god’s Deific Essence. In other words, they were able to use Deific Essence at no cost to them.

“What’s the catch?” asked Yeon-Joo anxiously.

She did not know much about incarnations, so she seemed to be thinking that it came at a cost.

‘Well, it’s not like there’s no cost whatsoever.’

Kang-Woo smirked and answered, “You’ll be my soulmate from now on.”

Once Yeon-Joo became Kang-Woo’s incarnation, they would be directly affected by each other’s conditions. For example, Gaia’s severe injury led Layla, Gaia’s incarnation, to lose her eyesight and function in her legs. The incarnation getting critically injured or dying also affected the god, to the point that those with low-rank Deific Essence were either demoted in rank or annihilated.

‘Well, simply speaking, if I die, she dies too.’

Soulmate was the perfect term to describe their relationship.

“Wh-What?” Yeon-Joo’s eyes widened with her mouth agape.

Her face reddened to the point that it could explode. She kicked Kang-Woo in the groin.

Clang!

“Argh!” Yeon-Joo screamed.

Kang-Woo’s Deific Essence barrier automatically activated and blew Yeon-Joo’s leg back with a metallic sound.

“You fucking...” Yeon-Joo glared at Kang-Woo as she grabbed her ankle.

Kang-Woo shrugged and continued, “This is why you need Deific Essence.”

Yeon-Joo bit her lip and turned her head away from him. She stuttered, “S-So the catch is... I have to become your s-soulmate?”

“Yeah.” Kang-Woo nodded without hesitation.

The relationship between a god and their incarnation was like the one between a demon and their Familiar. A master-servant relationship was more accurate than referring to it as a soulmate, but Kang-Woo couldn’t tell Yeon-Joo to become his servant.

“Y-You filthy bastard!” Yeon-Joo clenched her fists and trembled. “I knew you were scum, but... I-I never thought you would do something like this...”

She crossed her arms to cover her breasts and crouched as she glared at Kang-Woo with rage. Kang-Woo was confused by her reaction.

“I beg your pardon?”

‘What are you talking about?’

“Y-You son of a bitch! Motherfucker!”

‘What the fuck did I do so wrong? I told you that I’ll make you my incarnation! You’ll get Deific Essence for free!’

“Y-You fucking pervert! S-Seol-Ah and Lilith weren’t enough for you? Y-You’re even aiming for me...!”

“What?”

‘What the fuck have you been saying since earlier?’

“H-Hmph! I knew this would happen from the beginning!”

‘Know fucking what?’

“Y-You scumbag!!”

Yeon-Joo took off her jacket and threw it at Kang-Woo, who let himself be hit by it in the face and caught it as it fell. He was even more perplexed than before.

‘What in the world is up with her? Does she hate being an incarnation that badly?’

“Fuuu, fuuu,” Yeon-Joo took deep breaths with her hand on her chest. She gulped and said, “... Fine.”

She nodded in silence and shut her eyes tightly. She then began to lift her T-shirt little by little.

“Huh?”

‘Why is she taking off her clothes all of a sudden?’

Kang-Woo stared at Yeon-Joo in confusion.

“Oh.”

He managed to figure out what she was misunderstanding soon after.

‘Fucking hell, what does she take me for?’

Kang-Woo feigned laughter, being put in a situation that would be common in the mangas that Layla would like.

‘I guess my use of the term soulmate was the issue.’

He had not noticed since he did not have that sort of intention in any way whatsoever, but he could understand how it could have caused the misunderstanding after thinking about it.

Sniff... Y-You piece of shit.”

Yeon-Joo lifted her shirt even more as tears flowed down her cheeks. Unlike her words expressing displeasure, her facial expression was filled with anticipation for some reason.

‘Mm... When should I stop her?’

Kang-Woo knew that he needed to stop Yeon-Joo from going off on her own, but he hesitated for obvious reasons. He stared at Yeon-Joo with deeply sunken eyes and clenched his fists.

‘It’s way too entertaining to just... stop her here, isn’t it? Right? I’m not the weird one, right? This is fun, right? I can’t just let it end here, right?’

Kang-Woo kept the corners of his mouth lowered with all his might.

“U-Urgh.”

Yeon-Joo was subtly trembling, not able to lift her shirt any higher than her waist. Kang-Woo stood up and approached her. He slowly placed his hand on Yeon-Joo’s cheek.

“Hngh!” Yeon-Joo flinched. She glared at Kang-Woo with teary eyes. “I-I’ll never forget about what you’re going to do to me today.”

She then closed her eyes and protruded her lips.

‘A-Aaaahh.’

Kang-Woo was filled with ecstasy and he trembled in delight as he panted heavily.

‘My god, what should I fucking do? This is so goddamn fun.’

He knew that he needed to stop, but his body refused his mind and moved on its own. Kang-Woo smiled, slowly moved his hand on her cheek to her nape, and tilted his head.

“H-Hurghhh.” Yeon-Joo trembled with her eyes closed.

Kang-Woo brought his mouth close to her ear and whispered, “Don’t worry. I’ll make you a memory... that you’ll never forget even if you want to.”

Kang-Woo could hear Yeon-Joo’s teeth clacking from inside her mouth. She wept sorrowfully with her eyes closed.

“You idiot. Wh-Why would you... so forcefully...” Tears flowed down her cheeks one drop after another. She mumbled, “You didn’t have to do this... As long as you properly confessed, I would have...”

Kang-Woo looked down at the crying Yeon-Joo and commanded in a low tone, “Lay on the bed.”

“...”

“I will now commence the incarnation ritual.”

“R-Ritual, my ass... You scumbag.”

Yeon-Joo was about to take off her shirt but Kang-Woo pulled her arms down and shook his head.

“What? You want to take them off yourself, is that it?” Yeon-Joo stared daggers at Kang-Woo. She snorted as if the situation was trivial and sat on the bed. “Hmph, you’ve sure grown, my little Kang-Woo~ Hm? The ten millennia virgin has become a bona-fide player, hasn’t he?”

Yeon-Joo was acting leisurely but her limbs were undoubtedly shaking. Kang-Woo approached Yeon-Joo in silence.

“Wh-What?” Yeon-Joo gulped as she looked up at him.

Kang-Woo pushed Yeon-Joo down onto the bed by her shoulders.

“Kyaah!”

“...”

“Wh-What do you think you’re doing?!”

“Now... Swear that you’ll offer your body to the great God of Splendor.”

“Wh-What did you say?” Yeon-Joo looked up at Kang-Woo in shock. “Y-You’ve got some crazy fetishes...”

“If you don’t say it, I can’t make you my incarnation.”

“Ngh! Th-That’s enough of your bullshit!” Yeon-Joo glared at Kang-Woo in rage but sighed deeply soon after and said hesitantly, “I-I offer my body... to the g-great.... God of Splendor.”

“Louder.”

“I-I offer my body!”

“Louder!!”

“I OFFER MY BODY!! TO THE GREAT!! GOD OF SPLENDOOOOOOOOR!!!”

“Good!”

Kang-Woo snapped his finger and nodded. Yeon-Joo looked at Kang-Woo dumbfoundedly because of the nonsensical situation.

Kang-Woo snickered and continued, “Now then, call me oppa with a cute voice.”

“O-Oppa.”

“Cuter!”

“O-Oppa~!”

“Pfft! Bwehehehehehe!!!”

Unable to hold back his laughter, Kang-Woo rolled on the ground with his hands on his stomach.

Yeon-Joo looked down in disdain at Kang-Woo rolling on the ground. She had an uneasy feeling from when Kang-Woo was saying things about the great God of Splendor.

“Hey.”

“Bwehehehehe!!”

“Don’t fucking tell me, you...”

“Ahahaha!! Kehehehe.”

“It’s not, right? It’s fucking not, right? You tried to get with me by using Deific Essence as bait, right? Right? You weren’t fucking with me, right?”

“Kehe, kehehehe, As long as you properly confessed, I would have... Pfft! What? You want me to confess?” Kang-Woo turned to Yeon-Joo and smiled brightly. “Yeah, I was fucking with you.”

Kahaha.

‘Ahh. It’s so fun. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had!’
