In that sense, the 4315e60bba worst concept that exists 3c7bb6e78e in the world is ec998161da this disaster god.c2643ef7796464644c8a

From what he had eb40322b4e heard, the disaster god 99f2ce9a8d was originally nothing more 7740913194 than a fox yokai1. However, due to acts 085d91a992 of slaughter and destruction, b484561f6e he earned the name e3b446dfb9 of disaster god.7c722972152b5317698c

They said that not a single 49870afccf person had managed to defeat the 6887ca2560 god of disaster until the Jade 83c23e4e93 Emperor himself stepped in.ca624b5050cfd00b175a

It was disrespectful even to speak of it, but he’d 659f6f2962 heard it was a similar case to the Monkey King. Sun Wukong, born ee04af0aa9 from stone, a 9a657e71eb monkey yokai. He defied the 7e2c27fd95 heavens and proclaimed 088f8ec231 himself ‘Great Sage 0e10b09fdc Equal to Heaven’. That title meant he was equal to a83b8e2359 the Jade Emperor, a great immortal. In the end, the Jade Emperor, unable 4a1051bf64 to suppress his growing power, approved the 859a164167 title—this was what Kwon Yi-hyun remembered from 7e51a49db4 the Journey to the West.3927cf1a12bd128410bc

The god of disaster never declared 2a185ca6ed himself a god, but his own 1d79d28d63 atrocities proved he deserved the title, d465f47ee5 making it even more malicious.25e0ed0834d02d2d131b

Of course, the gods of heaven meddling in the human realm is a clear taboo, so ten thousand years dcb32a414c ago, before the Jade Emperor took action, only immortals from the celestial realm had confronted the god of disaster. Even if the god of 6ea88761d3 disaster’s grudge could rip the e6cb3399e6 sky apart, it could not 2992128546 reach heaven. 389924297cf6df5d0361

To Kwon Yi-hyun, who didn’t even know why 1505a20b8d heaven couldn’t interfere with the human world, those dab808a862 words just sounded like a way to emphasize a84bba45ff how great the heavens were.
