Chapter 28
[Arcana Medical Resort – Abyss Main Branch]
Ever since the World Tree treatment incident, the hospital’s prestige had soared to pierce the very heavens.
The dimensional gate connecting Earth and The Abyss operated ceaselessly around the clock, and the reservation waiting list had surpassed fifty thousand.
Instead of Earth’s currency, the warehouses overflowed with mountains of magical stones and treasures pouring in from every dimension.
“Director, the Third Warehouse is completely full. There’s nowhere left to store the magical stones.”
Lee Shin-woo reported with a cry of joy.
“Then we’ll excavate the Fourth Warehouse. Tell Ma Dong-tak to dig deeper into the ground.”
I hummed contentedly as I flipped through the ledger.
Yet where light shines brightest, shadows deepen. As the resort flourished, sinister stirrings coiled in the deepest, darkest recesses of The Abyss—places my hand had not yet reached.
In the [Deep Layer], ancient demonic beasts and rebellion forces harboring resentment toward the Four Kings formed an alliance.
“The Four Kings have submitted to humans?”
“They’ve abandoned the pride of The Abyss to become gym managers… How pathetic.”
Malphas, the ancient lich leading the rebellion, raised a skeletal hand to incite the masses.
“Treatment? Peace? Don’t make me laugh! The law of The Abyss is survival of the fittest alone! We’ll drive out those weakened Kings and seize the vast treasures the humans have accumulated!”
“Rooooaaaar—!!”
Tens of thousands of demonic beasts roared in unison.
Their objective was singular.
The destruction and plunder of Arcana Resort.
[Hospital Situation Room]
“Alert! Alert! A massive hostile force detected on radar!”
Zeruel, monitoring the situation room displays, cried out urgently.
I set down my coffee cup.
“A hostile force? Patients without reservations?”
“No. These are genuine ‘enemies.’ They’re radiating killing intent. The scale is… at least fifty thousand!”
“Fifty thousand?!”
Seo Ji-hoo, standing beside me, went pale.
“Fifty thousand?! That’s enough to topple a nation! Our hospital’s security force is nowhere near adequate!”
Currently, the hospital was defended by only two hundred Hyena guards and the Four Demon Kings.
Of course, the Demon Kings were formidable, but numbers had a way of overwhelming even the strongest.
Moreover, protecting the hospital’s facilities while fighting would be beyond our capacity.
“Damn it. How long has it been since we finished the remodeling?”
I furrowed my brow.
If the hospital was damaged, repair costs would follow.
Operations would have to shut down.
For me, that was a suffering worse than death itself.
“I’ll go out there! I’ll sweep them all away!”
Ma Dong-tak rose, hefting his massive shield. Beelzebub began loosening his muscles as well.
“Been a while since I got some cardio in.”
Just as they were about to mobilize.
“Sit down.”
A cool, serene voice froze the entire situation room.
All eyes turned toward the sofa.
There sat Yoo Yi-soo, legs crossed elegantly, sipping her tea.
“M-Madam?”
Yoo Yi-soo slowly set down her teacup and rose to her feet.
Her expression appeared serene, but her eyes were deeper and darker than the very depths of The Abyss.
“You mustn’t get hurt. We have patients scheduled tomorrow, after all. Beelzebub has his PT classes, and Ma Dong-tak needs to look after the kindergarteners.”
“But… how are we supposed to handle that many…?”
“And.”
A bloody smile curved across Yoo Yi-soo’s lips.
“This hospital was built through my husband’s blood, sweat, and tears. Anyone who so much as breaks a single brick or cracks a single windowpane… I will never forgive.”
Whooooosh—.
A radiant spectrum of light began seeping through her chest, piercing through her clothes.
The [Artificial Abyss Core] that Jin-hyuk had surgically implanted.
That absolute power, fused with the essence of the Four Kings, was awakening.
“I’ll be back soon, honey.”
Yoo Yi-soo winked at Jin-hyuk.
“What should we have for dinner tonight?”
Jin-hyuk sat dazed for a moment, then chuckled softly before answering.
“Something spicy. How about budae jjigae loaded with ham and ramen noodles?”
“Sounds perfect. I’ll be right back. Get the water boiling.”
Yoo Yi-soo threw open the window and leaped outside.
Behind her, a colossal pair of wings unfurled—a fusion of pitch-black shadow and blinding radiance.
Across the barren wasteland before the hospital, fifty thousand Rebellion Forces thundered forward, shaking the earth like an earthquake.
At the vanguard stood the legendary beasts: Chaos Dragon Nidhogg and the Ancient Lich Malphas.
“Destroy! Burn! Erase every trace of human stench!”
Malphas swung his skeletal staff, issuing the command.
Then, a single black meteor fell from the sky.
Boooooom—!
With a catastrophic shockwave, the earth within a one-kilometer radius collapsed inward.
The beasts at the vanguard were hurled backward by the impact.
From within the dust cloud, a woman emerged.
No weapons, no armor—just a woman in training pants and a t-shirt.
“Stop.”
A single, quiet word.
Yet that voice carried an irresistible power of [Absolute Dominion].
The fifty thousand troops charging forward halted as if they’d struck an invisible wall.
“W-what! Who is that woman!”
Malphas cried out in alarm.
“A human? A mere human woman dares block our path?”
“Move aside! I’ll crush you beneath my feet!”
The Chaos Dragon Nidhogg raised a colossal foot to trample Yoo Yi-soo.
But Yoo Yi-soo did not retreat.
She lifted her right hand lightly, with an air of profound indifference.
[Authority Unleashed: Phantom – Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara]
A piercing wail erupted as thousands of phantom arms bloomed behind Yoo Yi-soo like spectral flowers.
The power of the Phantom King of the East.
The phantom arms caught the dragon’s massive foot and held it aloft.
“Heavy. You need to lose some weight.”
As Yoo Yi-soo swept her hand, the phantom arms seized the dragon’s leg and hurled it with devastating force.
The impact thundered across the battlefield!
Tens of tons of dragon rolled like a bowling ball, crushing the demonic beasts that pursued behind it into pulp.
“This… this cannot be!”
Malphas recoiled in shock.
It was the power of the Phantom King.
Yet it was far more refined and potent than the Phantom King himself.
“Attack! Unleash your dark magic upon her!”
Thousands of dark sorcerers unleashed curses and destructive spells toward Yoo Yi-soo in a relentless barrage.
The sky darkened beneath the torrential downpour of magical assault.
Yoo Yi-soo yawned and extended her left hand.
[Authority Unleashed: Gluttony – Black Hole]
A deep, resonant hum filled the air.
A tiny black point materialized within her palm.
The power of the Gluttony King of the South.
Thousands of magical projectiles warped their trajectories, spiraling inexorably into the black void of her hand.
Like a vacuum cleaner drawing in dust, the colossal wave of magical power compressed into a handful of energy and vanished.
“Burp.”
Yoo Yi-soo belched. A habit inherited from the Gluttony King.
“Tasteless. Poor quality.”
“D-did you just consume magic?!”
The dark mages dropped their staffs in terror.
“Is it my turn now?”
Yoo Yi-soo’s eyes shifted to a verdant green.
As she stamped her foot, emerald mist rose from the earth.
[Authority Unleashed: Plague – Disarmament]
The corrosive authority of the Plague King of the North.
The green mist swept through the Rebellion Forces.
Crackle.
Steel blades bent like taffy, and mithril armor crumbled like rusted tin.
Their flesh remained unharmed, but every weapon they possessed turned to dust and scattered.
“My sword! My sword!”
“My pants are falling! The belt dissolved!”
The fifty-thousand-strong army became defenseless in an instant.
Malphas’s jaw trembled violently.
This woman was no human.
She was the [Incarnation of the Abyss], wielding the power of the Four Great Demon Kings freely and simultaneously.
“Let me finish this.”
A crimson aura exploded from Yoo Yi-soo’s entire body.
The destructive instinct of the Frenzy King Asura of the West.
As she clenched her fist, the magical power in the atmosphere compressed, and space itself warped.
[Authority Unleashed: Frenzy – Earth Shattering]
Boom—!!!
She threw a punch into empty air.
The ground stretched out before her for a kilometer, splitting open to reveal a massive chasm.
The Rebellion Forces either tumbled into the fissures or were caught in the shockwave, hurled skyward.
Five minutes. That was all it took for fifty thousand soldiers to be annihilated.
Yoo Yi-soo brushed the dust from her immaculate clothes and walked toward Malphas, the commander of the surviving enemy forces. Malphas sat trembling on legs reduced to bone, his entire frame quaking.
“P-please spare me, Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty? I rather like that title.”
Yoo Yi-soo tapped Malphas’s skull lightly.
“Choose.”
She held up two fingers.
“Option one: You become bone dust here and serve as fertilizer for our garden beds.”
“Option two: You get hired at our hospital’s Second Ward Expansion Construction Site.”
Malphas’s eyes—or rather, the hollow sockets where they once were—rolled frantically.
His survival instinct screamed at him.
That woman would obliterate not just his soul, but his very existence itself if he defied her.
“Option two! I choose option two! I’ll carry bricks! I’ll mix cement!”
“We pledge our loyalty! Please let us work as well!”
The surviving demons prostrated themselves in unison. The Rebellion Forces were reorganized on the spot into the Arcana Construction Subcontract Team.
Meanwhile, Jin-hyuk and the Demon Kings standing on the hospital terrace watched the scene unfold, their jaws hanging open.
“Wow… my sister-in-law’s got style….”
Ma Dong-tak swallowed hard.
“To wield my own power with such precision… I must admit, my pride stings a little.”
The Phantom King marveled.
“With that kind of strength, she’d crush three thousand in a heartbeat. Say, Director Kang, shouldn’t we get your wife a gym membership too?”
Beelzebub’s eyes gleamed with interest.
I crossed my arms and smiled contentedly.
“Wake up. She hates exercise.”
“Aren’t you afraid? What if you two have a marital dispute…?”
Lee Shin-woo genuinely worried. If those fists connected, there wouldn’t be bones left to identify.
“It’s fine. She softens right up when I cook her a delicious meal. She’s surprisingly simple that way.”
Just then, Yoo Yi-soo arrived, wiping sweat from her brow.
Behind her, fifty thousand captured demonic beasts marched in orderly lines toward the work site, carrying pickaxes and shovels.
Labor secured for the hospital expansion.
Personnel cost: zero won.
It was flawless business acumen.
“Honey! I did well, didn’t I?”
Yoo Yi-soo ran to me with a radiant smile and embraced me.
The “Empress of the Abyss” aura from moments before had vanished entirely, replaced by the lovely figure of a devoted wife seeking her husband’s praise.
“You did wonderfully. Absolutely magnificent.”
I stroked her hair affectionately.
“You’re definitely director material for our hospital’s security division.”
“Hehe. Give me a bonus.”
“I’ll add ham, ramen noodles, and cheese to your budae jjigae.”
“Deal! Let’s go, I’m starving!”
This was true harmony between spouses. The husband earned wealth through divine medical skill and eloquence, while the wife protected that wealth and the hospital with overwhelming power. The universe’s mightiest couple had been born.
Days later, Arcana Resort entered full-scale expansion construction.
The demonic beasts, once rebels, carried bricks and excavated earth without complaint—the construction pace was lightning-fast.
Earth’s VIPs marveled, saying, “Director Kang truly has an exceptional talent for workforce management.”
On a peaceful afternoon, I was having tea with Zeruel in the Hospital Rooftop Garden.
“You’ve pacified the Abyss now. Your territory is complete.”
Zeruel spoke while sipping black tea.
“Indeed. Now I think I’ll rest a bit and count my earnings.”
I laughed.
That was when it happened. The sky—no, the [dimensional ceiling] itself split open.
A light descended that was incomparably vaster and more sacred than any dimensional rift before it, its pressure alone warping the hospital’s barrier.
“What—what is this?!”
The Demon Kings bolted from their seats in terror.
Zeruel’s teacup slipped from his fingers and shattered against the floor.
“That’s… surely not…”
Zeruel’s face drained of all color.
“Is that Michael? Coming to process a resignation?”
I asked tensely.
“No. This aura is far beyond what Michael could produce. This is… [Constellation]-class.”
Golden stairs descended through the light.
And upon those stairs came a figure towering over three meters, descending with measured steps.
Behind it flowed not wings, but [living constellations] like a river of stars, and its eyes burned with the radiance of the sun itself.
[Constellation – ‘Noon Sun’].
One of the divine entities that governed the order of the cosmos.
Every monster and Hunter in the hospital collapsed to the ground, unable even to breathe beneath its overwhelming presence.
Only Yoo Yi-soo managed to remain standing, sustained by the power of her artificial core.
But I rose casually, brushing dust from my coat.
I was not afraid—I had instinctively recognized that a very important guest had arrived.
The Constellation stood before me, and its voice resonated directly within my mind.
[Art thou the physician of whom the tales speak? The one who healed the World Tree?]
“Indeed. I am Kang Jin-hyuk, director of Arcana Hospital.”
I offered my business card.
The Constellation did not take it.
“What seems to be troubling you today?”
The Noon Sun hesitated for a moment.
He glanced around before whispering in the faintest voice—through telepathy.
[…Truth is… I’m… the sun… but lately my light isn’t shining properly. My radiance… I think I’m experiencing a luminescence dysfunction.]
“….”
Jin-hyuk barely suppressed a laugh threatening to burst forth. A sun that couldn’t emit light.
What kind of absurd yet profoundly human ailment was this?
A deity confessing worries like some middle-aged man going through a midlife crisis.
Yet a businessman’s smile spread across Jin-hyuk’s face.
The grander the patient, the more astronomical the medical fees became.
A single star? No—should I demand mining rights to an entire planet?
“Welcome. I specialize in [Energy Restoration] and [Stellar… rather, celestial vitality enhancement], after all.”
Jin-hyuk picked up his medical bag.
Beside him, Yi-soo exchanged meaningful glances while gathering equipment, while the Four Demon Kings and S-rank Hunters stood in tense formation.
“Honey, did you pack everything?”
“Yes. This time it’s a cosmic journey.”
Jin-hyuk spoke with absolute confidence toward the Noon Sun.
“Lead the way. Let’s go fix a star.”
Beyond Earth, The Abyss, and the Heavenly Realm.
Now began the [Cosmic Medical Tour]—treating the ailments of gods themselves.
The extraordinary saga of Kang Jin-hyuk and his miraculous family was opening its grand second act.
