Hell’s Handbook

Oscar and Durand went on to head for Su Jin’s world. Su Jin didn’t dare to return to his own world because he didn’t know when the Handbook might suddenly send another batch of owners to ambush him, so he could only ask Oscar and Durand to help him. He wanted Daitengu and the rest to head for the temple with him so that they would have a connection to the temple. That way, they could use the power of the temple to teleport them safely to the temple if they ran into danger.

This ordeal had turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Oscar. He was now a real god, and because it was a genius who tried to take his godhood away, he had become a top tier god. He was filled with tremendous amounts of godly energy, so even if he did not join Su Jin’s temple and waited until the old cycle passed, he would definitely be one of the greatest gods of the new cycle.

He had arrived at an island in the middle of the ocean with volcanoes that billowed smoke, as though they were ready to erupt any moment. This was where Bifang was hibernating.

“A descendant of an insurgent? Gosh, Su Jin’s really something for finding someone like that,” murmured Oscar to himself. He covered the entire island with his energy but did not set foot on it. He just wanted to let Bifang know that someone had come to visit her.

Bifang woke up soon after and detected Oscar’s godly energy immediately. His energy was filled with so much vigor that Bifang knew she was absolutely no match for him.

“It doesn’t seem to have any ill intent, though.” Bifang found this whole thing rather strange. If a god with evil intent came knocking on her door, she could understand. But this person didn’t seem to have any ill intent. Her master was an insurgent, so wasn’t a god an enemy?

She didn’t let Oscar wait for too long. She flew out of the volcano without transforming into a human and called out to Oscar, “O great god, why have you come to disrupt my rest?”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you, but Su Jin has finished building his temple and he’s asked me to bring you there,” Oscar yelled back. He then released a bit of his aura that Su Jin had left on him so that Bifang wouldn’t misunderstand his intentions.

Once that aura was released, Bifang saw an image of Su Jin appear in the air, saying, “Bifang, the temple is ready! You can follow the person I’ve sent over.”

After Bifang saw that, she nodded slightly and transformed into a human before going to Oscar. “Thank you for making the effort.”

“No worries. Su Jin also sent me another set of coordinates and said that there are two people from the World of Fairytales on an island. We need to pick them up too,” said Oscar before flying toward the ocean with Bifang.

Meanwhile, Durand had arrived in Japan. This temple was very famous, and legend had it that Daitengu used to live here. A local conglomerate managed the temple and they did not let anybody tour the place. However, starting from this year, political visitors were suddenly allowed to come anytime they liked, so there were people here to worship almost every day.

But today, everyone realized they couldn’t get close to the temple at all. If they came too close, their entire body would start shivering, as though no lifeforms were allowed within the temple grounds. Only one Caucasian man was able to stroll in. The temple guards couldn’t even stop him from entering, and they could only watch on in fear as the man made his way deep into the temple.

“Daitengu, Su Jin has told me to call you to come out for a bit,” said Durand loudly into the temple. He wasn’t a god yet, so if he were to get into a fight with Daitengu, he wouldn’t be a match for Daitengu. All three demons were powerful characters who might not necessarily lose in a fight against gods, after all.

Deep inside the temple grounds, Daitengu opened his eyes. He spread his wings and appeared immediately before Durand. Durand could instantly sense the strong aura coming from Daitengu.

“My master sent you here?” asked Daitengu.

Durand nodded and released Su Jin’s aura. An image of Su Jin appeared before Daitengu and said, “Daitengu, my temple’s ready, so hurry up and come over!”

A look of amazement lit up Daitengu’s eyes as he murmured, “My master has really managed to build his own temple!”

“That’s right! I’ve also joined it, so we’re all one big family now!” said Durand with a smile.

Daitengu nodded and gave Durand a kind smile. Durand went on, “Su Jin also told me to inform the Nine-tailed Fox, but she doesn’t seem to have a permanent address. Do you know where she is?”

Daitengu nodded slightly and took his phone out to make a call. It didn’t take long to go through and the Nine-tailed Fox’s voice could be heard, “Hey Big Dog, can’t believe you’ve got the time to call me. What do you need? Hurry up, I need to perform on stage very soon.”

Daitengu sighed inwardly. The only one who dared to throw out the “ten” in his name, or the “heavenly” part, was the Nine-tailed Fox. And he seriously couldn’t comprehend how this fox got so hooked on living the celebrity life.

“Our master has sent someone to tell us that his temple is ready and he wants us to go over as soon as possible. I’m pretty sure that’s more important than your performance,” said Daitengu with a chuckle.

“The temple is ready!” exclaimed the Nine-tailed Fox excitedly before she turned to Lu Hang and said, “Lu, I’m not feeling well, so I’m not going to perform! Also, cancel all upcoming appointments for a month!”

“Daitengu, where do I meet you?” her voice grew louder again as she started speaking into the phone again.

“I’ll see you at the S City airport,” said Daitengu with a sigh before hanging up.

The Nine-tailed Fox hung up as well, then pulled the adorable Su Wen into her arms as she kissed his cheek hard. She laughed merrily and said, “My little one, we’re going to have our own home! A real home!”

Su Wen looked up at her, then grabbed the bag of chips next to him and began to eat them with a big smile on his face. There were many things he still couldn’t understand, but anything that could make his aunt so happy had to be a good thing.

Oscar and Durand were extremely efficient in carrying out their assignments. After all, that was how they became top owners among humans. They quickly gathered Daitengu, Bifang, the Nine-tailed Fox, Su Wen, Geppetto, and Alice together. They could have gathered more people, like the owners under Tracy, but Su Jin would rather do without them. Those people were only fearful of what he could do to them and were not truly believers in his mission, so he didn’t want to include them.

Once they were all gathered in S City, Oscar protected them as they left the planet, then sent a message to Su Jin to say that they were ready. Su Jin stood in his temple and grabbed the air, causing a gigantic black ball to appear out of nowhere.

The ball opened up to reveal Oscar and the group. That ball was merely a container that Oscar had created to make it easy for Su Jin to bring them over all at once.

“My master!” Daitengu and the other two demons bowed as they knelt on one knee.

Su Jin blinked in surprise before quickly pulling them to their feet. The three of them had never been this formal around him when they were on Earth. The temple must be very important to them, so important that they treated Su Jin with such great respect now.

“You guys don’t have to be like this. The temple will be our new home and all of you are family to me. That’s all,” said Su Jin. He didn’t care about this master and servant sort of relationship at all. If he wanted to be a master, he should have just followed the path created by the Handbook and he would have become a master to many in the future, including possibly several universes. He wouldn’t have bothered going through so much trouble.

The three demons had excited looks in their eyes. They were getting a new home. From the day they were born, they never had a home. Their unique identities forced them to be wanderers in the vast universe and they never thought they would ever have a home. The thought of having a home made them so happy.

Geppetto took a look around the planet and gave a pleased nod. “The planet is excellent. Looks like you’ve put a lot of effort into making this place!”

“I’m glad everyone likes it!” said Su Jin with a smile.

Alice looked at the flowers around her and suddenly murmured, “This place looks so much like the World of Fairytales. If only the Mad Hatter and the rest were still around…”

Su Jin fell silent. Throughout this journey, he had made friends and he had lost some. Some weren’t even friends. But Su Jin never forgot them. All he could do was to remember them and be with them in spirit.
