Chapter 484: Chapter 484
Hehe. I couldn’t feed him because I was worried he might get suspicious. But today, I’ll feed him everything.
Blackie, who had been planning to simply feed the gathered core fragments and enhance Sejun’s powers, decided to go ahead.
A strong rejection occurred in Sejun’s body.
It was the dragon’s energy contained in the clashing with the god’s energy contained in the .
Sejun carefully placed the Blackie family, who were sleeping on his stomach, into the sling bag and tried to stand up when…
“Chairman Park, you shouldn’t get up yet, meow!”
Theo urgently stopped Sejun, as if something terrible had happened.
“Why? Is something wrong with me?”
“You’re not fine at all, meow! Your face looks terrible, meow! Chairman Park, you’ve been frowning so much that you now have wrinkles on top of your ugly face, meow! We need to fix it right away, meow!”
I can’t allow Chairman Park to look even more shabby when meeting Aileen noona tomorrow, meow!
Theo had his own desperate reason, but…
He failed to gain Sejun’s sympathy.
It’s happening again.
As Sejun quietly tried to calm his rising irritation…
“Puhuhut. Don’t worry, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, will smooth out the wrinkles on Chairman Park’s ugly face…”
Theo, completely oblivious, enthusiastically kneaded on Sejun’s face.
“I. Said. My face. Isn’t. Ugly.”
“Chairban Bark, if you frown, bore wrinkles will abbear, beow.”
In the end, Sejun exploded and grabbed both of Theo’s chubby cheeks in his hands.
Hehehe. Let’s see the results of this pain, shall we?
Sejun squeezed and kneaded Theo’s cheeks while checking out the newly acquired power.
‘It was called “God-blood with a touch of divinity”, right?’
As Sejun reviewed the power, he noticed something strange.
→ Divine blood is circulating through your body, passing through the heart of Dark, the God of Darkness.
→ All stat potentials +1000
→ Special stat: Divinity is unlocked.
→ Each time the divine blood completes one cycle and passes through the heart of Dark, the God of Darkness, Divinity increases by 0.0001.
→ You can summon a shadow minion that mimics 5% of your strength using the power of darkness. (Due to low Divinity, it cannot mimic your skills.)
“Oh… So the heart of Dark, the God of Darkness, has merged with the power.”
Right. I did have the Heart of Dark.
As Sejun read the description, he remembered something he had forgotten.
But Divinity has been unlocked?
Sejun continued reading the explanation.
Stats: Divinity (10.0252/100)
He could see the Divinity stat.
The messy decimal places seemed to result from the fact that Divinity increased by 0.0001 each time the blood completed a cycle through the heart.
So, has it been about two hours since I passed out?
[Divinity has increased by 0.0001.]
A message appeared every 30 seconds or so indicating that Divinity had increased. Sejun calculated the passage of time based on the increments, aside from the 10 Divinity he gained from the power.
“Summon shadow minions.”
Sejun summoned the shadow minions to check the last explanation.
‘This time it should work, right?’
Recalling the previous time when his magic power was too low to summon any shadow minions, Sejun waited for them to appear.
From Sejun’s shadow, figures began to rise one by one, each wearing a straw hat, identical to Sejun’s shadow.
In total, five shadow minions rose, waiting for Sejun’s orders.
When Sejun examined one of the shadow minions
→ A shadow minion mimicking the Black Tower’s Tower farmer, Park Sejun.
Unique Skill: Son of Darkness (Master)
→ The minion will disappear in three days. (When it disappears, it will report everything it has seen and heard to its master.)
The description was displayed.
“Oh, it even has a unique skill?”
The Son of Darkness skill increased its abilities by 20% at night.
For now, I’ll make them carry some luggage.
The shadow minions didn’t have any farming or cooking skills, making it awkward to assign them tasks related to those areas.
“Sejun 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, help the mushroom ants transport the crops to the storage.”
When the shadow minions moved in response to Sejun’s orders, he checked out the new title he had earned.
– Gods who face you will be intimidated.
“Gods who face me become intimidated?”
While it sounded good, Sejun wasn’t exactly thrilled about it.
Even if gods might get intimidated when they see him, he would still likely die if he faced them.
Having accumulated plenty of real battle experience, Sejun wasn’t easily swayed by such things anymore.
After confirming his newly acquired power and title, Sejun,
“How much time is left until the competition?”
He went to the altar to check the time.
[Current number of registered participants]
– Black Tower 99th floor: 301,887
– Black Tower 4th floor: 55,214
– Silver Tower 82nd floor: 113,313,191
Once again, the number of participants from the Silver Tower surpassed 100 million.
“Why are there so many participants from this place?”
Sejun wondered if the Silver Tower had an insanely large population.
He didn’t think that all the residents of the tower were gathered on just one floor.
Hehehe. Then I can probably recruit a lot of employees there, right?
His desire to head to the Silver Tower grew a little stronger.
-Sejun, can I get some Samyangju… huh?! Sejun, why do I sense divine blood in you?!
Kellion, who had come to buy Samyangju to comfort Kaiser, who was depressed after being banished by Aileen, looked at Sejun and asked with a sharp voice.
Just as Sejun was about to explain…
-Dark, you bastard! What have you done to our Sejun?!
-Sejun, are you alright?!
-Dark, I won’t let you off easy if I catch you!
Upon hearing Kellion’s voice, Kaiser, Ramter, and Tier hurriedly flew over and examined Sejun.
They were worried about the clash between the dragon bones and the divine blood in Sejun’s body.
-What’s this? Something’s preventing the clash of powers.
After discovering Blackie’s core within Sejun’s body, they sighed in relief.
-It’s a relief, but… does that mean our Sejun is a hybrid now?
-Yeah, a hybrid is a hybrid…
“What Hybrid?! Call me Hybrid Sejun!” (TL: See the explaination below.)
Sejun shouted, flaring up at the dragons’ words.
Basically, the word ‘hybrid’ (잡종) used by dragons is in Korean and is considered a kind of insult. However, the word ‘Hybrid’ (하이브리드) that Sejun is using is in English, and the difference is that in Korea, the English word is commonly used for things like cars and other electrical technology, which is seen as a positive thing. It doesn’t carry the same negative connotation as the Korean word ‘hybrid.’
I hope this makes it somewhat clearer.
