Seed Shop Headquarters.
As non-combatant gods passed by and made eye contact with each other,
“Trust-in-Park!”
“Trust-in-Park!”
They shouted the unified slogan, nodded their heads vigorously, and passed by.
The phrase ‘Trust-in-Park’ was currently a popular saying among the non-combatant gods, a shortened form of ‘trust and invest in Park Sejun’.
And there was one god here, ready to invest in Sejun.
Luna, the God of Moonlight, had been waiting for ten days for the blue moon to rise so she could invest in Sejun.
“The blue moon has risen. Good!”
As the blue moon rose, Luna hurriedly searched for Sejun by surveying the 99th floor of the Black Tower through the blue moon.

But,
“Huh?! Where did he go?”
Even as half of the blue moon passed, Sejun was nowhere to be seen.
“If I miss today, I’ll have to wait another 30 days…”
Where are you, Park Sejun?
As Luna anxiously searched for Sejun,
“Found him!”
Sejun, who had returned to the 99th floor of the Tower, was detected in the moonlight of the blue moon.
“Blessing of the Blue Moon!”
Trust-in-Park!
Luna immediately bestowed the Blessing of the Blue Moon upon Sejun.
Ahem. So, is it time to create a monument in my honor now?
Luna, who had bestowed the blessing on Sejun, boasted.
Although the detailed explanation of the blue moon’s blessing wasn’t visible in the description Sejun saw
Blessing maintained for 30 days.
Infinite defense against attacks up to 10 times the ability of the target until the blue moon’s light is consumed.
The Blessing of the Blue Moon was an incredibly powerful blessing.
Ahem!
Luna had every reason to be proud.
“Huh?! Why is a dragon appearing here?!”
Until Aileen appeared.
***
99th floor of the Black Tower.
[The Tower’s Administrator says that it doesn’t seem like a good idea.]
“Hm. Aileen, are you worried that I might get hurt?”
[The Tower’s Administrator says that’s correct.]
“Hehehe. Aileen, don’t worry. I’m now…”
Sejun tried to reassure Aileen by explaining the abilities he had gained.
But,
[The Tower’s Administrator says that although she want to see your face directly, she are concerned you might get hurt.]
Aileen couldn’t be reassured by just that.
“Aileen, really, it’s okay. I can now even handle the awakened Ajax.”
104.28.193.250
Sejun said confidently.
“Aileen, I didn’t mention it because I didn’t want you to worry, but I even withstood the aura of the Apostle of Destruction. Don’t worry.”
Though, to be precise, it was only up to the second stage of the seal.
He left out the trivial details.
[The Tower’s Administrator asks if you’re really sure.]
Aileen was swayed by Sejun’s confident attitude.
It didn’t seem possible, but…
Yeah, if he endured the aura of the Apostle of Destruction, then my aura…
Wanting to see Sejun, Aileen thought positively about his words.
And then,
[The Tower’s Administrator says she’ll quickly finish what she’s doing now and come.]
Good. Nothing on my mouth, no tail or wings!
As Aileen replied, she hurriedly checked her appearance in the mirror.
“Sure. Take your time. Hehehe.”
Sejun grinned widely at the news that Aileen was coming.
“Puhuhut. It’s time for me to step up, meow!”
Chairman Park, just trust me, meow! Now, I, Vice Chairman Theo can even absorb Ophelia-nim’s aura with ease, meow!
Theo also stretched, wiggling his front toes.
At that moment,
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Guys, this is really delicious! Try it!]
“Yes!”
Kkiruk!
Sejun noticed Blackie offering dried sweet potato slices to Eomdol and Ggomi.
“Would it be dangerous for the sunfish?”
The three who had once been the most powerful beings as Apostles of Destruction, but had now fallen to the level of sunfish.
Clank.
“Go inside and eat for a while.”
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Five pieces of dried sweet potato slices!]
“Great Blackie-nim, this is so delicious!”
Kkiruk!
As long as they could eat something delicious, they didn’t mind being treated like this.
“Just in case, I should also eat the Transcendence Black Beans.”
While Sejun was preparing five beans,
[The Tower’s Administrator asks if it’s okay to come now that she’s finished her work.]
“Hold on a second.”
Gulp.
[You have consumed Transcendence Black Bean (+2).]
…
..
.
Sejun quickly ate the Transcendence Black Bean along with the other four beans.
Wooong.
[The Kai-ra’s secret skill: Absolute Protection is activated for 10 minutes on yourself and nearby allies.]
[During the activation of Kai-ra’s secret skill: Absolute Protection, physical resistance and resistance to other energies are increased tenfold.]
He infused magic power into the Kai-ra’s Guardian Necklace, activating the skill.
Then,
“You can come now.”
Sejun, who had perfectly prepared to meet Aileen, answered.
[The tower administrator says she’s coming then.]
“Sejun, I missed you!”
As soon as the response came, Aileen appeared in front of Sejun, smiling brightly.
“…Yeah. Me too…”
Momentarily dazzled by Aileen’s radiant smile, Sejun quickly regained his composure and replied.
At that moment,
[The Blessing of the Blue Moon breaks under the impact of a powerful force.]
A message appeared before Sejun.
‘Huh?! It breaks this easily?!’
What the… The Blessing of the Blue Moon is really weak.
Luna-nim, 3 out of 10.
Sejun thought that it wasn’t Aileen’s aura that was strong, but rather that the Blessing of the Blue Moon was weak. freewebnvel.coɱ
Because right now, Sejun had all his stats increased sixteenfold due to the bean set, and with [Talent: Slightly Stronger Than You Look], his stats were boosted by an additional 10%.
Thanks to this, Sejun’s total stats approached 220,000.
On top of that, he was being protected by <Power: Sturdy Young Dragon’s Solid Bone> and [Kai-ra Secret Skill: Absolute Protection], giving him double-layered protection.
Theo was also busily absorbing Aileen’s aura…
“Meow?! Meow, meow!!!”
“Huh?!”
Something’s wrong with Theo’s condition?
With his left front paw holding a money pouch, he was frantically burning money while his golden right front paw flailed around in a panic.
What’s going on?
Just as Sejun was sensing that something was wrong,
‘He’s really fine!’
Khehehe. My Sejun has truly become strong!
Aileen, delighted to see Sejun standing there unscathed, rejoiced.
‘Then it’s time for a kiss!’
In her happiness, she decided to initiate a kiss with Sejun and took a light step forward.
And then,
Boom!
A massive shockwave erupted from Aileen’s step.
[The Blessing of the Blue Moon is dispelled by the overwhelming force.]
“Ugh!”
Crash.
As the Blessing of the Blue Moon dissipated, Sejun was struck by a tremendous force, sending him flying.
[<Power: Indestructible Body> is activated.]
[Consuming magic power to protect the body from breaking.]
[Magic power is severely insufficient.]
[Dragon Tribe Skill – Dragon’s Scale is activated.]
[The scale of the Great Black Dragon Kaiser is destroyed.]
[Due to the effect of <Power: Sturdy Young Dragon’s Whole Bone>, your bones do not break.]
[One Life Orb has been consumed.]
“What… is… this…?”
I’m sure I’ve become incredibly strong…
Sejun, completely absorbed in his own tremendous growth, hadn’t considered that Aileen might have also become stronger.
Due to this, the outcome was the same as in the past.
No, it was worse than in the past.
He didn’t even get the kiss…
Sejun shed a single tear of frustration before fainting.
Kking! Kking!
[You stupid butler! If you needed help, you should have called upon the Great Blackie!]
Blackie, who had slightly opened the Void Storage to spy on Sejun to see if he was secretly eating something delicious, looked at the fainted Sejun with a contemptuous gaze and said,
Blackie had always thought Sejun was the weakest.
But…
Koooo…
Even in the midst of Aileen’s raging aura, Blackie was completely unaffected. As long as he had enough energy of creation, Blackie was invincible.
Kking!
[Heal the butler!]
Koooo…
Blackie used the Destruction Speech, filled with energy of creation, to heal Sejun.
And then,
Kking!
[Guys, close the door quickly!]
“Yes!”
Kkiruk!
Clank.
After exhausting his energy of creation, Blackie hurriedly closed the door of the Void Storage.
***
1st Floor of the 10th Tower.
“What?! The door leading to the 10th Tower has been destroyed?!”
[Yes. That’s why master couldn’t come.]
“I see. I didn’t know that and got angry at Sejun for no reason. I should apologize to Sejun later.”
Stella, who had misunderstood Sejun, now cleared up her misunderstanding thanks to Flamie’s explanation.
At that moment,
“Exactly. Stella, you were in the wrong.”
Munch. Munch.
Hamer, the God of Farming, insensitively criticized Stella while munching on popcorn.
“What!? How can you, the Tower’s Administrator, not know that the door was destroyed?! Fix it immediately!”
Stella yelled at Hamer in anger.
Then
“If I could, I would’ve done it already. Observer Mode!”
Not wanting to hear any more of Stella’s nagging, Hamer quickly hid himself.
“Argh! How annoying! Hamer, you @#%!”
Stella vented her anger by cursing at Hamer for a long time.
“By the way, Flamie, can you perhaps tell my mom that I’m doing well?”
Stella asked if Flamie could pass on her well-being to her mother.
[It’s possible, but it’ll cost you! About 10 billion Tower Coins?]
“Money?! I don’t have any money right now…”
[That’s okay! I’ll let you take it on credit! But there’s interest for late payments!]
Flamie had learned the capitalist system well by watching Sejun.
“Alright. Then put it on credit.”
[Sure! Just leave it to me!]
Stella became the first customer of Flamie Bank, opening a negative balance account.
***
99th Floor of the Black Tower.
“Hmm… It’s a bed?”
Gororong.
Kirorong.
Umrorong.
Kirurung.
Sejun, who had regained consciousness, looked around as he heard the snoring of Theo sleeping on his lap, Blackie sleeping on his chest, and Eomdol and Ggomi hanging onto Blackie’s fur while they slept.
And then,
“Aileen, don’t feel bad. I’m fine.”
He comforted Aileen, who he knew would be feeling guilty.
[The Tower’s Administrator asks if you’re really alright.]
“Yeah. I’m fine.”
Huh?! I really am fine?
Sejun, who initially planned to pretend he was fine to avoid worrying Aileen, realized there was no need to pretend since his body was moving smoothly.
“By the way, Aileen, did something happen to you recently?”
Next time, I’ll succeed!
Sejun began analyzing the reasons for his failure.
[The Tower’s Administrator says she recently awakened and gained a power called the Holy Dragon’s Strength.]
“Ah. So you awakened.”
But Ajax also awakened, didn’t he?
While Sejun was still puzzled,
[The Tower’s Administrator adds that before that, when the Black Tower grew into the Great Black Tower, she also obtained the power of the Guardian Dragon of the Black Tower.]
“The Guardian Dragon of the Black Tower?”
[The Tower’s Administrator explains that it’s a power that increases all stats by 100,000.]
“What?!”
All stats by 100,000?!
So with <Power: Guardian Dragon of the Black Tower>, her total stats increase by 400,000, and with <Power: Holy Dragon’s Strength>, they multiply tenfold…
That alone adds up to 4 million!
Considering Aileen’s base stats were probably around 200,000…
It was a miracle he wasn’t dead.
As Sejun talked with Aileen and identified the cause of his failure, he realized that the reason he managed to hold out for even three seconds in front of Aileen was thanks to the Blessing of the Blue Moon.
“Luna-nim, I’m sorry I misjudged you. Land moving!”
I’ll build it tall!
[Luna’s Achievement Monument]
– Luna, the God of Moonlight, who granted the Blessing of the Blue Moon. She was a goddess with foresight.
Thus, a 5m tall monument for Luna was erected next to Hel’s monument.
“Next time, I’ll prepare even more thoroughly!”
Hehe. I’m a man who doesn’t know how to give up.
As Sejun, who had just erected the achievement monument, resolved to prepare even more thoroughly for his next meeting with Aileen,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I, Vice Chairman Theo, will also prepare more diligently, meow!
This time, I didn’t get to shine, meow!”
Theo was also burning with determination.
And,
“Did you hear?! Luna-nim received a giant temple from Park Sejun!”
“As expected, Trust-in-Park!”
“Ah?! Now that I think about it, isn’t the Seed Shop opening soon?!”
“That’s right! Let’s quickly prepare the seeds!”
“Alright! Trust-in-Park!”
“Trust-in-Park!”
The non-combatant gods at the Seed Shop Headquarters also began to burn with enthusiasm, preparing to sell good seeds to Sejun at the upcoming Seed Shop event.
