***
A light formed on Themeus’ fist, and that light began to grow bigger.
And as soon as Themeus opened his eyes, the item that Min Sung was looking for.
The item that could cut down the Iris tree appeared.
Just as Harmonic explained about a nail and hammer back in the city of Horn, the items that Themeus summoned were just that.
The dark nail was as big as a man’s forearm, and the hammer was very thick.
“This isn’t something I hand over easily… But this is out of respect for you as a human being, so you’ll have to pay the price for it yourself.”
Min Sung nodded at Themeus.
“Thanks for keeping your promise. It appears that not all gods are crazies that are obsessed with gambling.”
“Gods get bored, too…”
Themeus said with a bitter smile.
“You, too?” Min Sung asked.
Themeus shook his head.
“I’m a low-ranking god who makes weapons. I don’t have time to be bored, haha. But it feels strange hearing that from a human. Or maybe…”
Themeus looked at Min Sung with deep eyes and continued, “Maybe you’re not even human anymore.”
“Don’t say such a dreadful thing,” Min Sung said with disgust.
Themeus smirked and nodded.
“Yeah. You’re human. Now go back and cut down that cursed tree. I’m sure that nail and hammer will do it.”
“That’s what I intend to do.”
Min Sung looked back at Ho Sung Lee.
Ho Sung Lee, who was watching from a very far distance, immediately came running over.
“We’re going back to earth,” said Min Sung.
Ho Sung Lee took turns looking at Min Sung and the item that Themeus handed over with shocked eyes.
“… You’ve succeeded. Are we really going back?”
“Yeah.”
“I thought it’d take a long time, but we’re going back already. What a miracle.”
Ho Sung Lee looked like a military soldier who was discharged before his date.
The realization that he could leave the unfamiliar world of Beatrice and go back home made Ho Sung Lee feel emotional.
Min Sung put his nail and hammer into his item window and played around with the interface system.
The way to go back to earth was simple.
All he had to do was log out through the system as if it was a game.
Ho Sung Lee also hurriedly opened his system.
Meanwhile, Themeus watched.
Before they returned to earth, Min Sung glanced at Themeus and gave him a nod.
Themeus accepted his nod with his eyes.
As soon as Min Sung touched ‘return’, they flashed like lightning and disappeared.
Ho Sung Lee also disappeared soon afterward.
Once Min Sung’s party departed, Themeus clicked his tongue.
“We’re in big trouble.”
Themeus sighed and organized his complicated thoughts.
“I don’t know. I’m sure he’ll handle it on his own. Anyway, that human is really strong. Themeus, you’ve grown weak.”
Themeus rubbed the belly that Min Sung stabbed and grimaced.
“… I should get back to work.”
Themeus shook his head and headed back to his workplace.

They regained consciousness in the dark.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt as though the air of earth was welcoming him back.
And the first thing he saw was the Iris tree.
When he looked around, he saw that he was in his own yard, and he could also see the large Iris tree, which was growing at a fast pace.
While Min Sung looked at the Iris tree, Ho Sung Lee opened his eyes, followed by Bowl and Ssol.
“Oh…! We’re back!”
Ho Sung Lee looked around with shocked eyes, and Bowl and Ssol ran around with joy all around Min Sung’s house.
Meanwhile, Min Sung glared at the Iris tree as he took out the nail and hammer from his item window.
Min Sung hammered the nail into the tree without any hesitation.
Since it was a nail made by Themeus himself, the tree, which couldn’t be harmed in any way before, immediately began to chip away as soon as the nail touched it.
[This is taboo. If you break the taboo, you must pay the price.]
[Stop it!]
[Go back to Beatrice!]
[You mustn’t cut down the Iris tree. Stop it.]
[If you don’t stop, there will be catastrophe!]
[What you’re doing is foolish…]
Min Sung, who was just about to hammer in the nail, looked up at the sky with a grimace.
“So noisy.”
After mumbling to the Dionysus Gods, he hammered the nail for them to see.
Thud!
The one hammer of the nail created a large crack in the Iris tree.
He didn’t even use that much force, but the outcome was extreme.
“Wow…”
Ho Sung Lee dropped his jaw and looked up at the Iris tree, which was cracking away.
Meanwhile…
Bang!
The hammer went at the nail once more.
Every time Min Sung hammered the nail, the Iris tree suffered bigger and bigger cracks.
Min Sung continued to hammer as if he was a blacksmith.
He wondered if magic energy could speed up the process, but the hammer refused to absorb any magic energy.
It was similar to how he was unable to cut down the Iris tree without Themeus’ weapon.
But even without magic energy, it wasn’t long before Themeus’ weapon caused for the Iris tree to go down.
As a result, Min Sung didn’t rush in hammering.
Chips of the Iris tree continued to fall from above Min Sung’s head, and the more he hammered the nail, the deeper the cracks got.
The Dionysus Gods no longer told him to leave the Iris tree alone or go back to Beatrice.
They had given up as soon as he began hammering the nail.
With no one to bother him, Min Sung was able to focus on hammering.
And as a result, he began to see the end.
Ho Sung Lee, who was watching blankly, flinched and ran toward Min Sung.
“Sir!”
Min Sung stopped hammering and looked back at Ho Sung Lee.
“What?”
“The neighbors. Shouldn’t we evacuate the people living in this area before we cut down the tree?”
He was right.
He had returned to earth from Beatrice, and because he was in such a rush to cut down the tree that was eating up earth’s nutrients, he didn’t think it through.
“Call Ji Yoo Kim and tell her to evacuate the people immediately.”
“Yes, Sir.”
While Ho Sung Lee immediately found his phone and called Ji Yoo Kim, Min Sung stared up at the Iris tree.
It was much taller than before.
And a green liquid also flowed from the tree, but that light was growing faint.
That signified that it was dying due to Themeus’ items.
Min Sung looked back at Ho Sung Lee in the living room, and while he talked on the phone, he showed Min Sung a circle hand gesture.
He had reached Ji Yoo Kim, and it appeared that he was ordering for everyone in the area to be evacuated.
Min Sung looked back at the Iris tree and sighed.
He almost caused a huge accident.
If this tree was to go down upon the neighborhood, it would be a catastrophe.
The thought that he could’ve destroyed countless restaurants due to his rash action made Min Sung feel as though cold air was blowing through his head, chest, and stomach.
“I delivered the message. She said she’ll dispatch all her men, and that it should be resolved within 1 hour.”
Min Sung nodded as he looked up at the Iris tree.
“It won’t go down before then, right?”
In response, Ho Sung Lee broke out into cold sweat.
“I hope not.”
After staring at the Iris tree for a while, Min Sung turned toward the living room.
Like Ho Sung Lee had said, he just had to pray that the Iris tree would stay up for the next hour.
“Since we have some time, let’s eat,” Min Sung said as he returned to the living room.
Ho Sung Lee, who followed him into the living room, asked, “Food?”
He looked as though he heard something wrong.
But he didn’t hear it wrong at all.
“Well, there’s no problem as long as they evacuate. So if we say they’ll come in 2 hours, that’s long enough to prepare and eat a meal.”
When Min Sung said that, someone came down from the 2nd floor.
It was Woong Jang and Sia Jang.
“You’re back!”
Woong Jang greeted them with a bright smile, and Sia Jang cried as she ran over to hug Ho Sung Lee.
“I was scared you were never going to come back,” said Sia Jang while crying.
When Sia Jang said that while crying in Ho Sung Lee’s arms, he couldn’t help but look awkward because of Woong Jang’s presence.
But Woong Jang didn’t care and continued to smile at Min Sung.
“I knew you’d be back.”
Min Sung smiled back at Woong Jang.
“I ate well thanks to you.”
“Hm…?”
Woong Jang looked at Min Sung with wide eyes, and only after looking at Ho Sung Lee did he realize what he meant and laughed.
“Oh, you mean the recipes.”
“Ho Sung Lee has improved significantly in his cooking. He might be almost as good as you.”
“Oh, really? Maybe Ho Sung Lee and I should face off in a match once all of this is over.”
“I’ll be the one to taste the food.”
“Of course.”
“Anyway, I’m hungry right now. What is there to eat?”
“I’ll prepare something for you right away.”
Woong Jang rolled up his sleeves and smiled with confidence.
“Thank you.”
After smiling warmly at Woong Jang, Woong Jang headed to the kitchen to start cooking.
Min Sung glanced over at Ho Sung Lee who was tied down by Sia Jang, and then he stretched his neck and walked over to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee.
Ho Sung Lee was unable to move due to Sia Jang, who was still crying, so all he could do was scratch his head.
