TL: Hanguk
Black Tower, 99th floor.
Clang.
As the exit of the 10th Tower opened,
Dada-da.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. The great victor, Blackie, has arrived!]
Blackie ran out proudly.
“I can’t believe I lost to that sunfish, Blackie…”
It seemed that losing to Blackie, whom he had thought was beneath him, had hurt his pride quite a bit.
“Hehehe. But so what? I still control your food supply.”
Of course, he quickly got over it.
With that, Sejun regained his composure.
“Hmph. Aileen, what do you want to eat?”
“Pancakes? Got it.”
Sejun chatted with Aileen in the cooking area while making pancakes.
Kirorong.
Eomrorong.
Kirurung.
…
..
.
Having just feasted on roasted and dried sweet potatoes, the Blackie Family dozed off and eventually fell asleep inside the sling bag.
A little while later.
“Aileen, here. Enjoy your meal.”
After sending Aileen a stack of 30 pancakes,
“Ajax, have some pancakes.”
He also sent a stack of 20 pancakes to Ajax, who loved them.
And just as he was about to sit at the table and eat his own pancakes,
……
Suddenly, his vision darkened, and it became hard to breathe.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’m back, meow!”
It was because Theo had latched onto his face.
“You finished early?”
As Sejun pried Theo off his face and asked,
“Puhuhut. Brings was doing well, so I came back quickly, meow!”
“Did you have lunch?”
“Puhuhut. I didn’t eat so I could have lunch with Chairman Park, meow!”
Theo stared at Sejun intently as he answered.
‘What are you waiting for, meow? Hurry up and grill some fish, meow!’
That was the kind of look he was giving.
“You have the grilled fish lunchbox I packed for you. Just eat that.”
“No way, meow! I’m saving that for later, meow!”
“You’ve got a lot of things stored away for later already.”
“That’s for emergency situations, meow!”
“What kind of emergency?! Just eat it!”
“No, meow! Grill me some fish, meow!”
“Ugh, fine.”
As Sejun and Theo bickered over lunch,
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Mom, it’s lunchtime!]
Cuengi and Pink-fur also took their lunch break in the herb field.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Mom, here!]
Kuooong.
Cuengi placed a rice ball into Pink-fur’s open mouth.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Now it’s Cuengi’s turn!]
This time, Cuengi opened his mouth, and Pink-fur fed him a rice ball.
It was a rather peaceful lunchtime on the 99th floor of the Tower.
***
<Earthworm>
“Oh! There’s a lot today.”
Squirm. Squirm.
After finishing lunch, Sejun entered Earthworm through the dimensional gate and was pleased to see the Tears of Destruction morphing into his own appearance.
Thanks to Flamie skillfully dribbling Jǫrmungandr’s body, she had positioned herself in a good spot and lured in many Tears of Destruction.
“Hey, guys. Hello.”
As Sejun greeted the 20 newly created Destruction Sejuns,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”
Theo, who had crossed the dimensional gate carrying the sling bag with the Blackie Family inside, clung to Sejun’s knee.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, here, meow!”
“Yeah.”
Sejun took the sling bag Theo handed him and slung it over his shoulder again.
Then, after collecting 10 drops of Tears of the Incomplete Creator God that had formed as the previous Destruction Sejuns vanished,
“Here.”
He immediately sent the collected tears to Emila.
[As a reward for completing the quest, you have obtained 50 drops of the Great Growth Elixir.]
A glass bottle appeared in Sejun’s hand.
Today, he decided to divide it up evenly, two drops each for the others, and twenty drops for himself.
After distributing the elixir, Sejun set aside two drops for Cuengi and had everyone drink theirs, including himself.
Of course, there was some resistance along the way, but he dealt with it through persuasion and force.
“Hehehe. Where do you think you’re going, sunfish?”
Kking…
[But I won earlier…]
Especially after subduing Blackie by force, Sejun’s self-esteem had been greatly restored.
As Sejun drank the elixir and diligently planted seeds with the Destruction Sejuns,
“Sejun~nim, I have something to tell you.”
Toryong came to find Sejun.
“Why? What’s going on?”
“Well…”
According to Toryong, Sejun had planted so many Destruction Devourers that they now occupied a quarter of the land in <Earthworm>.
As a result, the movements of the other Earth Dragons were becoming restricted.
“I see…”
Though he hadn’t counted them exactly, the current number of Destruction Devourers in <Earthworm> had surpassed 10 billion.
In the beginning, the Mushroom Ants had planted them in massive numbers, and afterward, Sejun and the Destruction Sejuns had continued to plant them diligently.
Considering the speed at which Destruction Devourers produced seeds, their growth rate would only accelerate further.
“There really are a lot of them. Alright. I’ll find a way.”
“Yes. Thank you. Oh, and recently, there have been unknown external shocks occurring outside, so please be careful.”
“Shocks? Got it. Thanks for letting me know.”
After finishing his conversation with Toryong, Sejun pondered,
What should I do?
He contemplated how to handle the Destruction Devourers.
Then,
“Ah. I can just send them up.”
He quickly came up with a good idea.
Originally, the best method was to plant Destruction Devourers in the bodies of the Apostles of Destruction.
With his You’re a Field! skill, he could drain their life force while simultaneously eliminating the Energy of Destruction.
However, when he first arrived here, the external situation wasn’t favorable, so he had been planting them here instead. That was no longer necessary.
“But for this, I need Cuengi…”
He didn’t have a way to send the Destruction Devourers into the sky.
“Wait, no.”
Hehehe. I have this.
Thud.
Sejun proudly pulled out a massive box and opened it. Inside, it was filled with beans.
[Sky-reaching Beans]
Eating them would make a person grow 3 cm taller, so Sejun had stockpiled a huge amount, intending to sell them for a living when he returned to Earth.
Although Sejun had more than enough money to never worry about living expenses, he still always worried about survival.
You never know when everything might suddenly go downhill.
And so, he decided to plant the Sky-reaching Beans to send the Destruction Devourers outside of <Earthworm>.
“Vice Chairman Theo, tell Hel to get 10 drops of the Harvest Elixir from Leah~nim.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
He asked Theo to obtain the Harvest Elixir. The plan was to use it to rapidly grow the bean stalks.
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow! Hel~nim, go to Leah~nim and…”
Theo relayed Sejun’s request to Hel exactly as he had heard it.
[The designated recipient is Hel, the God of Merchants.]
[<Manager> Hel’s Pawnshop, God of Merchants Hel: Accepted!]
Thus, the request was formally turned into a quest for Hel.
“Leah, I’ll buy 10 drops of the Harvest Elixir!”
Hel quickly went to Leah, purchased the Harvest Elixir, and sent it to Theo, and
Received the reward.
“Hehehe. This is really nice.”
Hel grinned, pleased with her reward.
Although she had bought 10 drops of the Harvest Elixir from Leah for 2,000 Divine Power,
‘Since I can buy 1000 Divine Power with 1 Welfare Point.’
so she had effectively gained 3,000 Divine Power in profit.
[<Manager> Seed Shop Headquarters, God of Sprouts, Bud: I’m jealous.]
Seeing this, the employee gods were envious.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, here are the 10 drops of the Harvest Elixir, meow!”
In the meantime, Theo handed the Harvest Elixir to Sejun.
“Thanks.”
As soon as Sejun received the elixir,
Plop. Plop.
He planted the Sky-reaching Beans.
Drip. Drip.
Then, he dripped the Harvest Elixir onto the spots where he had planted them.
And then,
Crrrack.
The beans rapidly grew, shooting up toward the sky.
“Guys, climb up!”
Sejun had the Destruction Sejuns and Destruction Devourers latch onto the skyward-growing bean stalks. As the stalks continued to grow and neared the sky,
“Eosepo! Fire the Seed Cannon!”
[Yes!]
Ptoo!
Sejun had World Tree Eosepo shoot a hole in the sky using the Seed Cannon.
Thus, the bean stalks successfully pierced through <Earthworm>’s walls and continued to rise, creating a path that connected <Earthworm> to Jǫrmungandr’s stomach.
Then,
Kiki!
The remaining Destruction Devourers also started climbing up the bean stalks toward the sky.
Meanwhile,
Huff. Huff.
The Destruction Devourers that reached the sky first diligently absorbed and processed the dense Energy of Destruction.
Burp.
104.28.193.250
They then released the Energy of Creation.
“Alright, watch carefully. This is how you do it.”
Plop. Plop.
[You have planted the Destruction Pioneer Seeds in the body of Jǫrmungandr, the world-devouring serpent and 3rd seat of the Apostle of Destruction.]
…
..
.
Sejun demonstrated for the Destruction Sejuns.
However,
Plop. Plop.
The Destruction Devourer seeds planted by the Destruction Sejuns in Jǫrmungandr’s stomach failed to grow.
The gap between the dimensional energies was too narrow, meaning Flamie had only been able to lure in the smallest Destruction Tears.
And while the Destruction Sejuns had barely learned Magic Seed Sowing and Harvesting, they didn’t know how to use You’re a Field!.
“What?! You can’t do this?”
An unexpected obstacle.
“Well, there’s no helping it. Then you guys just focus on harvesting.”
Sejun began planting other crops in Jǫrmungandr’s body for the Destruction Sejuns to harvest.
Normally, he didn’t mind if others rested while he worked, but he couldn’t stand the sight of Destruction Sejuns, who looked just like him, idling around.
As Sejun diligently planted crops, the bored Destruction Sejuns clumsily tried to attack him.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. The great Blackie will protect butler! Everyone, attack!]
Blackie family swiftly subdued the Destruction Sejuns.
Thanks to the Great Growth Elixir, all of Blackie family had stats exceeding 1,000.
On top of that, they had exceptional combat instincts, specialized combat powers, talents, and skills.
In contrast, the Destruction Sejuns, who were merely copies of Sejun with terrible combat sense and farming-specialized skills, had far higher total stats but were no match for Blackie family.
I fed them well.
Sejun watched them fondly.
However,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Guys, let’s punish them even more!]
Thwack. Thwack.
“Hey! Stop hitting them!”
Seeing the Destruction Sejuns continuously getting beaten up started to put him in a bad mood.
Time passed chaotically like that and
Kueng?
[Dad, why haven’t you gone home yet?]
Cuengi came looking for Sejun, wondering why he hadn’t finished for the day.
“Ah. Is it that late already?”
Kueng! Kueng!
[Yes! Cuengi’s belly clock rang five times already!]
“Really? Then you must be really hungry. Let’s go quickly.”
Just as Sejun hurried to wrap things up,
“Huh?!”
A blue energy started visibly manifesting around them.
“What is this?”
It was a phenomenon that occurred when the Energy of Creation accumulated and thickened.
Unfortunately, this was happening in a completely enclosed space with no external connection. The area was becoming saturated with the Energy of Creation emitted by the Destruction Devourers.
“Is this okay?”
Sejun, feeling complacent, thought, Last time, <Earthworm> evolved, which was dangerous, but this shouldn’t be that bad, right?
But then,
Rumble.
Boom!
<Earthworm> suddenly moved and was expelled out through Jǫrmungandr’s mouth.
The expanding Energy of Creation had forcibly pushed <Earthworm> outside.
Hey. Where are you going? How am I supposed to get home?
Sejun stood there, stunned, watching <Earthworm> disappear into the distance.
“No, wait. As long as we have Paespaes, we can make another dimensional gate! Vice Chairman Theo, where’s our Paespaes? Is he on my back?”
He quickly regained his composure and started looking for Paespaes.
However,
“Meow?! Paespaes went to the bathroom a little while ago, meow!”
“What?!”
“Where…?”
“Over there, meow!”
Theo pointed with his front paw to the spot where <Earthworm> had disappeared.
Paespaes was drifting away along with <Earthworm>.
“No! Paespaes, come back!”
Sejun, growing anxious, desperately called out to Paespaes.
At that moment,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, don’t worry, meow! We can return using Kaiser~nim’s bracelet, meow!”
“Oh. That’s right.”
He had the Dragon Horn’s Return Bracelet.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Sejun put on a nonchalant expression and resumed planting crops as if nothing had happened.
Just another peaceful day for the Sejun Family.
