…What? I looked at the message with blank eyes. What did it say?
[The constellation 'Father of the Rich Night' wants to make you the successor of the Underworld King.]
I wasn't mistaken. I gazed at Persephone, who was smiling this way. Rather than Yoo Jonghyuk, who was supposed to be the successor, I was chosen instead. Still, I didn't understand. Why me?
Poseidon spoke, [You are crazy. You are going to make your successor someone who doesn't have divine blood?]
[Isn't it past time to get over the disgusting old-fashioned notion of blood descendants?]
[Someone who hasn't even performed the task of succession…]
[He performed the 'task.']
I wondered what Persephone was saying. I completed a task for the succession? Something flashed in my mind.
-I'll give you a task. You want to show me an interesting story? If you succeed, I will let you find the soul you want.
-Your task is to cut off the head of the serpent.
Certainly, there was this incident. The test that I did to regain the soul of the 41st round Shin Yoosung. At the time, I cut off Yamata no Orochi's head to complete Persephone's task. That wasn't an ordinary task but a task for succession? Since when had this queen planned…
[Hades! Are you serious? You want that trivial constellation to be your successor? Poseidon cried out fiercely and Hades glanced at me.
Come to think of it, Hades had always been favourable to me. Father of the Rich Night. He seemed strict and scary but never once did he do anything to harm me. It was strange when thinking of the many characters who went to the Underworld in the original novel.
Persephone's eyes deepened.
-Demon King of Salvation, it is better to decide quickly.
Becoming the successor of the Underworld. It suggested that in future scenarios, I might be able to borrow the probability of the Underworld. Furthermore, I was qualified to become the master of the Underworld after succeeded Hades.
「 Kim Dokja thought. 」
If I accepted their proposal here, the Underworld would formally be able to participate in Gigantomachia. In return, they would get a part in the giant story of Gigantomachia. If I refused the succession proposal, the Underworld would suffer a great loss and be locked underground again. Then their relationship with me would be completely severed.
…Really clever, queen of the Underworld. The Underworld would get the right to participate in Gigantomachia. I would prepare for the overthrow of Olympus. If I refused this offer, Poseidon was the only one to benefit. In such a situation, what was there to think about? In order to return to Earth as soon as possible… in order to revive my mother, this was the best way.
“…I will be the successor of the Underworld. However, I have a condition.”
I swiftly told her my condition. I also said that I couldn't accept the succession if the condition wasn't met. After a while…
[The constellation 'Father of the Rich Night' has accepted your condition!]
[The constellation 'Demon King of Salvation' has become the successor of the Underworld.]
The moment I made the declaration, the probability of the Star Stream moved. Many stars looked down on me. Some were jealous of me, some felt admiration and some were genuinely pleased. Then the Underworld King spoke.
[Spear that Parts the Boundaries of the Sea.]
