As of today, December 21, 2025, the manhwa continues to accelerate its pace, and this chapter, titled “Serpent Bearer’s Zodiac Saint (2),” is a pure display of the protagonist's overwhelming, 'disaster-class' power, confirming why the world—and his enemies—should fear the 13th Saint's return.
This chapter is not merely a fight; it’s the climax of a deeply personal arc, intertwining Lee Geon’s brutal revenge with the emotional history of his closest allies. The confrontation with the Serpent Bearer Saint serves as a terrifying benchmark for the remaining Zodiac Saints, proving that Lee Geon, the "Master Craftsman," is no longer the hero they left for dead, but the unstoppable Calamity they created.

The Serpent Bearer's Zodiac Saint: A Decisive, Humiliating Defeat
Chapter 140 is the definitive conclusion to the confrontation with the Serpent Bearer's Zodiac Saint, a battle that had been building since the arc began in Chapter 139. The Serpent Bearer Saint, who once commanded great respect and power, is completely overwhelmed by the sheer, unbridled force of Lee Geon.
The Overwhelming Power of the 13th Saint
The fight in "Serpent Bearer’s Zodiac Saint (2)" is characterized by an extreme power disparity. Lee Geon's control over the Divine Skills, particularly the Serpent Eater skill he acquired, turns the Serpent Bearer's own power against him. The search results hint at Lee Geon's ability to "defeat enemies with a single kick," and this chapter delivers on that promise, showcasing a brutal efficiency that leaves no room for the enemy to recover or counterattack.
Lee Geon’s fighting style, a blend of raw physical strength and weaponized divine power, is on full display. He uses his abilities not just to injure, but to utterly dismantle the Serpent Bearer Saint's authority and confidence. This is a psychological war as much as a physical one, with Lee Geon savoring the terror in his betrayer's eyes.
The Serpent Eater's Final Consumption
The most significant event of Chapter 140 is the fate of the Serpent Bearer Saint and his Temple's power. Lee Geon’s ultimate goal in these confrontations is not just to kill, but to absorb the power and authority of the Zodiac Saints. The Serpent Eater skill allows him to consume the very essence of the Serpent Bearer's Temple, further solidifying his own unique, non-Zodiac-God-affiliated power base.
This absorption process is a major step in the overall plot, as each defeated Saint’s power makes Lee Geon exponentially stronger, making the remaining eleven Saints' situation increasingly desperate. The defeat of the Serpent Bearer Saint sends a clear, undeniable message to the other Saints, including the likes of the Leo Saint and Steven Marker: their time is running out.
The Cheon Siblings, Their Father, and Lee Geon's Emotional Ties
While the fight with the Serpent Bearer Saint provides the action, Chapter 140 also deepens the emotional and political stakes by focusing on the Cheon Siblings, Cheon Sungjae and Cheon Yooha. These two are among Lee Geon’s most loyal disciples and fierce allies, and their connection to the Serpent Bearer arc is highly personal.
A History of Betrayal and Loyalty
A crucial revelation in this arc, which is strongly hinted at in Chapter 140, revolves around the siblings' father. The search results indicate that "over half the reason the siblings came to like Lee Gun was their father." This suggests that their father was a close confidant or ally of Lee Geon before the betrayal, and perhaps even suffered a similar fate or was marginalized by the Zodiac Saints.
This revelation adds a profound layer of depth to the siblings' obsession with Lee Geon. Cheon Yooha, the cool-headed older sister, and Cheon Sungjae, the energetic younger brother, are not just fanboys/fangirls; their loyalty is rooted in a desire to honor their father's past connection to the true hero. It frames Lee Geon’s revenge as a form of delayed justice for his former allies, not just for himself.
Impact on the Disciples
For the disciples, witnessing the sheer power of their master, the Master Craftsman, as he defeats a Zodiac Saint is a moment of profound growth and dedication. Cheon Sungjae and Cheon Yooha, along with other allies like Hugo Otters (the only Saint who didn't betray Lee Geon), are galvanized by this victory. They see the tangible results of Lee Geon’s power and the certainty of his ultimate victory against the corrupted system of the Twelve Zodiacs and the Zodiac Gods who empowered them.
The Future: Power Scaling and the Remaining Zodiac Saints
The events of Return of the Disaster-Class Hero Chapter 140 significantly alter the power scaling of the series and set the stage for the next major confrontations. The defeat of the Serpent Bearer Saint is a clear signal that Lee Geon is rapidly accumulating power and moving through the list of his betrayers.
Lee Geon's Evolving Arsenal
Lee Geon’s power is constantly evolving. His status as the Master Craftsman allows him to create and modify Divine Skills, and his ability to absorb the essence of a defeated Saint’s temple is an unparalleled advantage. Entities like the Divine Skills and the Serpent Eater are not static; they are tools Lee Geon perfects and weaponizes. This makes him an unpredictable threat, as his enemies can never prepare for the extent of his abilities.
The Panic Among the Betrayers
With the Serpent Bearer Saint eliminated, the remaining Zodiac Saints, including powerful figures like Steven Marker, Yang Wei, and Min Sunghoon, must now confront the reality of their situation. The strategic defeat in Chapter 140 forces them to panic and potentially make rash decisions. The central theme of revenge is now manifesting as a domino effect, where each victory by Lee Geon accelerates the downfall of the next target.
The political landscape is shifting. The fear of The Calamity will cause internal strife and division among the remaining Saints, creating openings for Lee Geon and his allies, like Hugo Otters and the Cheon siblings, to strike again. Chapter 140 is a victory that guarantees more explosive and high-stakes confrontations in the chapters to come.
