Three Meals of a Reincarnator - Chapter 309
Chapter 309
The Dionysus Gods looked down at their arms with shocked faces.
Their arms were dying away.
The dark energy was stuck on them like cancer, and now that the Dionysus Gods were weak after having handed their power over to Veld, they were unable to fight back.
Upon seeing the Dionysus Gods groaning in pain and wobbling around, Hellcard tilted his head in confusion.
“Huh? Are you joking?”
Since Hellcard didn’t know that the Dionysus Gods had given their power to Veld, he thought they were just joking around when they were unable to fight back.
But once Hellcard realized that they weren’t fooling around, he laughed.
“Wow… I can’t believe this.”
As soon as Hellcard lifted his sword, the blonde god stepped up.
“What made you so confident to wake me up…”
Just as Hellcard continued, the blonde god launched a gold light.
A gold pattern was drawn underneath Hellcard’s feet.
It was God’s power that was different from a magic square, and that power wasn’t something that the blonde god created himself.
The former great god had put up a barrier against Hellcard.
The former great god sealed him off so that he could never get out, and the blonde god was able to use his power to make that barrier even stronger.
Hellcard’s smile faded, and he felt his body freeze up, and that feeling showed on his face.
Hellcard’s face grimaced like a crushed can.
“You assholes…!”
Blacklight radiated from Hellcard’s eyes, and a dark aura spread out from his body in all directions.
But that was simply Hellcard’s existence and color, not any kind of strength.
Hellcard was unable to move, and he simply expressed his rage.
The blonde god knitted his brows at Hellcard.
“Even if lack of trust is a common characteristic in devils, how could you let your feelings get ahead of building trust so that we can effectively communicate?”
Hellcard ground his teeth and glared at the blonde god.
In response, the blonde god smiled.
“Do you accept our offer?”
The blonde god asked in a friendly tone.
“What if I don’t?”
Hellcard asked back.
“Then you must return to your coffin,” replied the blonde gold calmly.
Hellcard looked down at the words written on his body and snickered.
“I see why you were so confident. But…”
Hellcard, who hung his head, lifted his face back up and stared at the blonde god.
“You’ve got the wrong guy. I’ll show you just how big of a mistake you’ve made.”
Hellcard laughed.
Upon confirming that Hellcard had no intention to surrender, the blonde god had to seal him back up.
As soon as the blonde god gathered all of his godly abilities, Hellcard felt a great pressure on his entire body.
Just as the blonde god took out the seal of Heaven to use on Hellcard.
Hellcard wriggled his tongue and began to show changes in his body.
The blonde god looked at Hellcard with surprise.
Hellcard was shedding as if he was a snake, and then he shot up to the sky.
The blonde god looked up in Hellcard’s direction with shocked eyes.
Something twinkled in the sky, and soon after, Hellcard fell back down on top of the blonde god’s head with a sword in his hand.
The blonde god activated a tent to block Hellcard from attacking him, but Hellcard broke through it easily.
Hellcard opened his mouth to laugh and just before he tried to bite his shoulder.
Swoosh!
The blonde god as well as the Dionysus Gods disappeared into thin air.
Hellcard wriggled his long tongue. He scanned around to check that they were no longer down and then snickered.
Hellcard looked at his own coffin and the tombstone covered in chains and burst into laughter.
The emotions that Hellcard had inside of him rang through the land of the Demonic Realm in the form of laughter.

“Sir, it’s time to eat.”
Ho Sung Lee notified Min Sung that the food was ready.
Min Sung, who was deep in thought, put the weight behind him as soon as he heard that it was time to eat.
Once he got to the table, he smelled something spicy.
He salivated before he even sat down.
Min Sung sat down and looked at the dish that Ho Sung Lee prepared.
It was stir-fried small octopus.
The octopus as well as various vegetables floated on top of the broth, and the sesame seeds that were sprinkled on top made for a fantastic view.
Min Sung lifted his chopsticks and began his meal.
He started with the white rice followed by the onions and the main attraction, the octopus.
The sweet yet spicy sauce woke up his tastebuds, and he loved the chewy texture of the octopus.
As for the crispy onions, it was sweet and it got rid of the greasy flavor completely.
Min Sung immediately picked up a perilla leaf and placed rice, octopus, and pickled radish on top and put it into his mouth.
Om nom!
The pickled radish was refreshing, and the spicy octopus made his body heat up.
On top of the savory perilla leaf, the heat of the spice made him feel hot.
Spicy flavors had a way of getting rid of stress.
Min Sung enjoyed the spiciness and the texture of the octopus and focused on his meal.
The rice disappeared in no time, and so did the octopus.
Ho Sung Lee and Woong Jang’s octopus dish was so delicious that no restaurant could beat it.

The blonde god and the Dionysus Gods returned to Heaven.
The blonde god’s face grimaced with rage while the Dionysus Gods simply looked shocked.
“What do we do about this…?”
One Dionysus God asked with a blank face.
He spoke on behalf of all of the Dionysus Gods.
The blonde god was no longer able to smile or show a relaxed look on his face.
The Dionysus Gods felt like they were about to lose their minds.
The situation was not going the way they expected.
The Dionysus Gods believed that since Hellcard was restricted, they could utilize Hellcard to their advantage as long as they kept that barrier up.
But that belief was nothing but a misjudgment that turned into a tragedy.
Hellcard easily escaped the restriction.
Hellcard freed himself from the seal, and the fact that he was now free was dangerous beyond anyone’s imagination.
“Hellcard will certainly kill all humans in the human world and reclaim his position as the owner of the Demonic Realm.”
In response to one Dionysus God’s remark, the blonde god looked up to stare at him, but the Dionysus God disregarded him and continued, “It’s obvious that Hellcard will become the devil king once more. We must report the current situation to the great god and prepare a war against Hellcard.”
In response, the other Dionysus Gods nodded in agreement, and all of their eyes were fixed on the blonde god.
The blonde god covered his face with his pale hand and sighed.
“We can’t do that.”
The Dionysus Gods all stared at the blonde god, unable to understand.
“Why not? Then are we just going to watch Hellcard reclaim the throne?”
One Dionysus God strongly opposed the blonde god.
The blonde god slowly removed his hand from his face and lifted his head.
“The great god didn’t give us permission to lift Hellcard’s seal.”
The Dionysus Gods fell silent as if they were drenched with cold water.
“What do you…”
The blonde god answered, but the Dionysus Gods still couldn’t understand reality.
“Even if the great god allowed it, if things took a different turn, that would mean we never had the great god’s permission.”
That was when the Dionysus Gods understood what the blonde god was saying.
If they succeeded, that meant that it was the great god’s command, but if they failed, the responsibility would be on them.
The great god dodged responsibility.
What the blonde god was talking about was outside of the rules.
The blonde god let out a long sigh.
“That’s not what’s important. The point is, we failed.”
“Then what do we do now?”
The Dionysus Gods stared at the blonde god in despair, and their shoulders trembled.
All of the Dionysus Gods felt it instinctively that they were unable to dodge the responsibility.
“If we have to take responsibility, I believe you, who maintains Heaven, should step up…”
One Dionysus God spoke up but trailed off, and the blonde god smirked.
“Do you really think I can take the fall for everything when you were also a part of entering the Demonic Realm and lifting the seal?”
The Dionysus Gods trembled.
“The great god will soon find out that we failed, and the rumor that Hellcard has woken once more will spread through Heaven. None of you will be able to dodge the responsibility.”
The Dionysus Gods were unable to blink due to the shock.
It was clear that their future was over.
The blonde god looked around at the Dionysus Gods and slowly opened his mouth.
“… Since we failed, we will become traitors of Heaven, and we’ll be used to fight in the war against the Demonic Realm, and that’s how we’ll go extinct. If that’s not the case, there will be other ways. But what’s for certain is that the worst is yet to come.”
The blonde god smiled faintly and continued, “So…”
The Dionysus Gods looked back at the blonde god.
“Let’s go over to the Demonic Realm. I’ll convince Hellcard.”
The blonde god offered the Dionysus Gods to be their fallen angel.
