From what he had 17db5028de heard, the disaster god 2b6a696658 was originally nothing more e54b5bafdf than a fox yokai1. However, due to acts of 3b86d353ce slaughter and destruction, he earned 35d5bddfc4 the name of disaster god.1920f984eb2d4cdb86a0

They said that not a single person had e08582c865 managed to defeat the god of disaster until 9cc5e69bc6 the Jade Emperor himself stepped in.2eb7f895cf063a3e8579

It was disrespectful even to a7550b84e1 speak of it, but he’d 3288938250 heard it was a similar 8e7f82a233 case to the Monkey King. Sun Wukong, 76bfdb770b born from 83752ff006 stone, a 61d6c93c71 monkey yokai. He defied the heavens cf0488f08a and proclaimed himself ‘Great efa7958ebf Sage Equal to Heaven’. That title meant he bdc9f194ae was equal to the 42a8183689 Jade Emperor, a great dd9a1dce94 immortal. In the end, the Jade Emperor, unable 607e888748 to suppress his growing power, approved the 60df65dc59 title—this was what Kwon Yi-hyun remembered from eb2d3928b2 the Journey to the West.9dc256851aaa4660dd50

The god of disaster never declared 44a5bc190b himself a god, but his own b06f089935 atrocities proved he deserved the title, 7b658dc700 making it even more malicious.0503e2ba3ac18e0b5633

Of course, the gods of heaven meddling in the human realm is a clear taboo, so ten thousand years 3a63b031ad ago, before the Jade Emperor took action, only immortals from the celestial realm had confronted the god of disaster. Even if the god of 9121aa495e disaster’s grudge could rip the ad08514d33 sky apart, it could not b5c289f285 reach heaven. 68c500c4d80489f18553

To Kwon Yi-hyun, who didn’t even know why heaven couldn’t 324b6fc82a interfere with the human world, those words just sounded like 06ff9157e5 a way to emphasize how great the heavens were.
