Chapter 580: Chapter 580
99th Floor of the Black Tower.
Flamie, who had been surrounding Jǫrmungandr with roots, came to feed nutrients to Podori and Sausage.
[Everyone, hurry and eat! Especially Sausage, today you’re absolutely becoming a World Tree!]
Flamie rushed the two.
Sejun-nim, just hold on a little longer! Only 195 trees to go!
Flamie was in a hurry to cultivate 1,000 World Trees to pass the second trial to become the Tree of Creation. Her plan was to power up with the trial’s reward, cleanly deal with Jǫrmungandr, and save Sejun.
“Puhuhut. I’m full, meow!”
[Hehehe. It was delicious!]
[My stomach’s full, but something’s missing…]
Theo, Cuengi, and Blackie clung to Sejun, who was patting his belly.
“Eosepo, let’s have a fireworks show.”
While watching the fireworks created by Eosepo’s Seed Cannon, Sejun and his companions enjoyed a moment of rest.
[Hurry up and finish the dishes and clean up!]
Under Mugbupal’s supervision, Besugu and Sipdeokgu took care of the cleaning. Of course, the youngest, Sipdeokgu, was tasked with the harder work.
Besugu and Sipdeokgu diligently handled the cleanup.
Damn it, one subordinate isn’t enough!
I can’t live as the youngest forever!
Though they each had different thoughts, they arrived at the same conclusion,
We must save Jǫrmungandr!
If Jǫrmungandr returned and became the youngest, their workload would lighten significantly.
With Blackie openly declaring his intention to annihilate Jǫrmungandr, they needed a solid justification to overturn Blackie’s decision and save him.
Isn’t there something?!
The two desperately racked their brains for a reason to save Jǫrmungandr but couldn’t think of anything special.
[Stop daydreaming and get back to work!]
Instead, they only got scolded by Mugbupal.
Mugbupal grinned in satisfaction as he scolded the two. After all, he’d been on the receiving end every day until very recently.
Once the cleanup was complete,
[Alright! Good job! Now go and sleep!]
Mugbupal took Besugu and Sipdeokgu to where Sejun was.
Sejun and his companions were already asleep.
The three quietly climbed onto Sejun’s body, careful not to wake the others.
Ah, this is nice. As expected, the fur of great Blackie-nim is so cozy.
They nestled into Blackie’s fluffy fur.
Perhaps tired from the cleanup, they soon fell asleep.
Outskirts of Destruction.
What the hell is going on?!
As grew larger inside its stomach, Jǫrmungandr swelled up like a pufferfish.
I need to spit this out to survive!
For hours, Jǫrmungandr desperately tried to expel , but showed no signs of budging.
As Jǫrmungandr flailed in an effort to spit out ,
[Really?! Jǫrmungandr has hidden treasure?!]
[Yes! I’ve seen Jǫrmungandr secretly hiding shiny objects!]
Besugu whispered to Blackie, sharing the justification he had come up with overnight to save Jǫrmungandr.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Then we can just steal it and get rid of him! Butler will love that!]
Blackie, once the First Seat of the Apostles of Destruction, might have mellowed out lately, but he was far from a softie.
Disheartened, Besugu, realizing he couldn’t change Blackie’s mind, retreated in disappointment.
Alright! My turn now?
Sipdeokgu approached Blackie’s ear.
He shared the idea he had thought of.
[Really?! Jǫrmungandr was beside Lord Destruction when he fell?!]
[But why are you telling me this now?!]
[I didn’t think it was that important.]
[Hmm, you’re right. It’s not that important.]
Of course, Blackie’s opinion didn’t change.
As Blackie listened to his subordinates’ arguments,
“Everyone, let’s eat!”
Sejun called out to his companions, having finished preparing breakfast.
[Hehe. Butler! How many roasted and dried sweet potatoes do I get today?!]
Overflowing with anticipation, Blackie ran to Sejun.
Oh, right. I can’t eat roasted and dried sweet potatoes for a week…
Looking at the yonggary chicken nuggets in his bowl, Blackie was soon confronted with reality and became despondent.
After breakfast and coffee time ended,
“Alright, let’s go catch the youngest.”
Sejun stood up and addressed his companions.
When they looked outside after the barrier vanished, the white snakes were no longer visible. Since Blackie only needed to crash into Jǫrmungandr to handle the situation, there wasn’t much danger.
[Butler! No! Great Blackie said he would destroy Jǫrmungandr! If you change your mind, Great Blackie’s dignity will be tarnished!]
To preserve his dignity, Blackie opposed making Jǫrmungandr the youngest.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking?
[Hehe. Butler, but… can I eat roasted and dried sweet potatoes first before we go?]
Of course, Blackie’s dignity could be traded for seven roasted and dried sweet potatoes.
Besugu and Sipdeokgu, who had been brainstorming ways to save Jǫrmungandr since yesterday, were dumbfounded.
When Sejun handed Blackie the roasted and dried sweet potatoes,
Blackie wagged his tail vigorously as he happily devoured the roasted and dried sweet potatoes, filling the emptiness in his soul.
Thus, Blackie, having satisfied his soul’s emptiness with his soul food,
[Hehe. Butler! Let’s go catch the youngest!]
enthusiastically set out to capture Jǫrmungandr.
Sejun and his companions flew through the sky using Cuengi’s telekinesis.
“Fire the Seed Cannon!”
Following Sejun’s command, Eosepo fired the Seed Cannon, and they used the opening in the barrier to exit .
[Hehe. Butler! Wait a bit, I’ll bring back our youngest!]
