“Hmm.”
What should I call it?
Sejun was seriously contemplating the name of his and Theo’s combined attack.
“How about Sejun Beam?”
He shamelessly suggested a name that would highlight only himself to Theo, with a shameless face.
Then,
Theo strongly opposed it.
Normally, Theo would just go along with anything Sejun said, thinking good things are good things, but this time he could not concede. No, he must not concede.
This is the glorious combined attack that Chairman Park and I, Vice Chairman Theo, completed together for the first time, meow!
Because this name carried too much significance.
“Really? Then I’ll think of another one.”
As if he had expected Theo’s rejection, Sejun coolly began to think of another name.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Great Blackie looking forward to it!]
“Me too.”
Kkiruk!
Sharalang!
…
..
.
The Blackie Family sat in front of Sejun, eagerly anticipating what terrible name he would come up with this time.
After a while.
“How about combining Sejun and Theo to make Seo Beam?” (TL: Se from Sejun + o from Theo)
Sejun proposed a new name, and
Chairman Park gave me half of his share, meow! I’m so happy, meow!
“Puhuhut. I like it, meow!”
As long as any of the letters T, H, E, O were included, Theo would have been honored, and he immediately accepted.
As the name was decided,
Kking! Kking?! Kking!
[Butler, I’m disappointed! Why did you come up with a decent name?! Your skills have gotten so rusty! Are you not taking this seriously?!]
“That’s right!”
Kkiruk!
Sharalang!
…
..
.
The Blackie barked vehemently and the Blackie Family protested fiercely, saying the name was too ordinary.
Mumu!
Ppuu!
Bebe!
Hehe!
Yolyol!
In particular, Mubalchil, Mukbupal, Besugu, Sipdeokgu, and Kabulto protested fiercely. And they were justified in doing so.
However,
“Hehehe. Then when I name the combined attack with Blackie, I should show my real skills. Properly.”
Kking?! Kking! Kking!
[Huh?! No! Butler! Keep naming it like this! Who said our butler can’t name things well?!]
“But… just a moment ago…”
Kkiruk?
Sharalang!
“Great Blackie, why are you suddenly acting differently?!”
At Sejun’s remark, Blackie immediately changed his attitude 180 degrees and scolded his subordinates.
Thus, the name of Sejun and Theo’s combined technique was decided as ‘Seo Beam’.
[The name ‘Seo Beam’ has been imbued with special effects.]
[Seo Beam’s attack power has increased by 5%.]
[Using Seo Beam reduces Tower Coin consumption by 3%.]
[Defeating an enemy with Seo Beam grants 100 billion Tower Coins.]
The effects of the Namer talent activated, granting special powers to Seo Beam.
“Oh. Vice Chairman Theo, we’ll get money if we defeat Corruption with this technique!”
“Puhuhut. It’s all thanks to me, meow!”
“No it’s not! I’m the one who named it!”
“Puhuhut. Without me, Vice Chairman Theo, the combined skill wouldn’t have even existed, meow!”
While Sejun and Theo bickered over who deserved the credit,
“Meeoow…”
Hiren regained consciousness.
“Everyone, mom’s awake!”
One of the children guarding Hiren excitedly informed the other children who had been playing nearby.
“Mom, are you okay now?!”
“Mom, are you alright?!”
The children ran over and surrounded Hiren, chattering excitedly.
“Mehaha. Mom’s okay, meow.”
Hiren smiled brightly at the children’s worried words and gazes. At the same time, her heart swelled with a tingling happiness.
The feeling of loss now only occupied a very small corner of Hiren’s heart.
Why am I feeling like this?
While Hiren was examining her awkward feelings,
“You’re awake? How’s your body?”
Sejun approached Hiren with Theo hanging from his knee and asked.
Then,
“The ugly man is approaching Mom!”
“Mom fainted earlier because of the ugly man!”
“Ugly man, don’t come close!”
“Ugly man, no approaching!”
The cat children blocked Sejun, standing in front of Hiren. Now that Hiren was awake, they became quite aggressive.
“Huh? Earlier you all said I was handsome?! You know you’ll be punished if you lie!”
Sejun, who had made them lie in the first place, tried to scare the children.
However,
“Hmph! Mom said it’s okay to tell lies when you need to get something important!”
“That’s right! That… what was it…”
“Pana, white lie.”
“Exactly! This was a white lie! Pana told a white lie!”
“Since we told a white lie, we won’t be punished!”
The children scoffed at him.
These little punks changing their words so easily?!
Sejun was completely played by the children.
‘And they’re calling it a white lie?!’
Is this what they call good intentions?!
The fact that they labeled it a white lie hurt Sejun even more.
“…No. Still, a lie is a lie. Cuengi.”
Of course, Sejun did not back down so easily.
Kueng?!
[Dad, did you call Cuengi?!]
Cuengi, who had been nearby sniffing herbs, came running at Sejun’s call.
He would not explain why he called Cuengi instead of dealing with it himself, because it was too sad. Hint: the Catfolk children came from a Level 9 world.
“Cuengi, these kids lied to Dad. What kind of person did dad say liars are?”
Sejun reported the children to Cuengi, and
Kueng! Kueng!
[Bad people! If you lie, you must be punished!]
Cuengi took out the Thunderbolt Staff and set out to deliver justice.
Puck. Puck.
Cuengi approached the children, slapping the Thunder Stick against his palm.
Rumble.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, adding to the sense of dread.
“Meeeeeeow!”
“We’re sorry!”
“We won’t lie anymore!”
The children cried for forgiveness and quickly hid behind Hiren.
“Hoohoo. Justice always prevails.”
Sejun smiled victoriously as he watched the children apologize.
“You’re teaching them bad stuff? Teaching them about white lies.”
He scolded Hiren.
“Mehaha. Lies are essential for survival, meow.”
Hiren answered brightly with a smile at Sejun’s words. Her face showed no sadness, but her voice carried a pain she could not completely hide, like a thorn poking through.
Sejun could faintly sense that Hiren’s life had not been easy.
“Here, eat this.”
Feeling sorry, Sejun handed Hiren some Corn Potato Soup.
“Alright! Shall we go treasure hunting?!”
Sejun left with the group and the children.
104.28.193.250
Because many complicated emotions were crossing Hiren’s face.
He thought she needed some time alone.
“Puhuhut. Sounds great, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I’m looking forward to it.”
Kueng!
Kking!
His companions naturally loved Sejun’s suggestion, and
“I want to!”
“Let’s go~!”
“Pana wants to do it too! I raised both hands!”
The children, who had been locked up in prison, were so happy just running around outside that they eagerly followed Sejun.
As Sejun led the group and the children away, Hiren was left alone.
After taking a few spoonfuls of the soup Sejun had given her,
“Mehuhu, mehuhu, mehuhu…”
She began crying heavily.
The warm soup soothed the turbulent emotions in Hiren’s heart.
Thanks to it, the guilt of standing by while <Nyamyok> was destroyed as a hero, the self-loathing for treating children as collectibles, and other feelings that had sunk deep into her heart rose to the surface.
After crying for a while, Hiren.
“Mehaha. The food was a little bland, so I cried because there was no salt, meow.”
Feeling embarrassed even though no one was around, she mumbled excuses while blaming Sejun’s cooking.
Then she scooped up the soup, now mixed with her tears, and ate it deliciously.
The soup had become salty from her tears, but Hiren’s heart had cleared up.
***
Creator God’s Temple.
Shaa.
“It’s done.”
The Creator God had completed five new pictures using the beads created during the process of Emila making the Great Growth Elixir with the Tears of the Incomplete Creator God.
“Hmm.”
The Creator God examined the pictures.
In the first picture, the next Creator God was in his room, clutching his head with his small hands, struggling in front of a single sheet of paper.
In the second picture, the next Creator God was writing something earnestly on the paper, and from his shadow, a red snake of Corruption quietly slithered out.
In the third, Corruption was whispering something into the next Creator God’s ear, and in the fourth, he was shown agonizing while holding the paper he had written.
In the final picture, the next Creator God ultimately succumbed to Corruption’s words and hid the paper between the cracks in a wall.
“Is it here?”
The Creator God came out of the temple, found a place similar to the scene in the picture, and examined the gaps in the bricks.
A moment later.
Chuck.
The Creator God was able to find the paper wedged between the bricks.
Shaak.
When he unfolded the paper,
– Creator God-nim, I am sorry. Actually, I was the one who broke the plate in the kitchen. I didn’t do it on purpose…
It was a letter addressed to the Creator God.
“It was then…”
The Creator God could tell when the letter had been written.
“Huh?! A plate is missing?”
One day, a plate had disappeared from the kitchen.
“Did the next Creator God break it?”
At that time, feeling that something was becoming strained between himself and the next Creator God, the Creator God had decided not to say anything to avoid worsening their relationship. He had simply and quietly replaced the missing plate.
But…
“So he was writing a letter of apology.”
Perhaps the next Creator God’s fall into Destruction was not entirely his own fault.
Maybe it was because he, too, had handled things poorly.
While the Creator God was lost deep in thought,
Shaararak.
The pictures began to change.
In the changed pictures, the next Creator God’s letter of apology was delivered to the Creator God, who scolded the next Creator God so fiercely that it brought him to tears.
Then the two of them made a new plate together. At first, their faces were awkward, but soon they were full of smiles.
At the same time, a pure heart separated from Destruction’s heart, hid itself deep in the Land of Destruction, and began to tremble.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, it’s this way, meow!”
Theo pointed with his front paw at the enormous pit created by the battle between Iona and Hiren.
The treasure was originally buried deep beneath Eryon Castle, and they were supposed to find a secret passageway to descend. However, thanks to the hole created by Iona, that was no longer necessary.
“Everyone, let’s go!”
Sejun, his companions, and the children jumped into the pit.
After about five minutes of free fall,
“Huh?!”
Sejun spotted an artificially constructed wall.
Floating.
Cuengi also noticed the same thing and used telekinesis to stop the group.
Then approaching the wall,
“Open the way.”
Rumble.
Sejun used the Talent: Transcendent Rock Mage to create a hole in the wall.
“Oh!”
Beyond the wall, the room was packed full of dazzling treasures. It looked to be worth about 500 trillion.
Hehehe. Money!
Puhuhut. Plenty of money to burn, meow!
Sejun and Theo were looking at the same thing but thinking different thoughts.
“Everyone, quickly gather it up!”
While Sejun and his companions gathered the treasures,
“Ugh!”
“Yap!”
“Meeoow. It’s heavy.”
The children also diligently helped move the treasure. Sejun had promised them he would make something delicious if they helped.
“Mehaha. If it’s heavy, just carry a little like Pana.”
Pana, proudly speaking, carried a small gold coin and placed it in Sejun’s Void Storage.
“Pana, if you do that, you’ll only get a little bit of the food ugly uncle makes.”
“Meow?! What do you mean?!”
“That black dog and his subordinates are watching us with eagle eyes. How much we’re moving.”
“Meeow! Really?! No way! Meoow!”
Surprised by her friend’s words, Pana hurriedly started working hard.
Hehe. So sleepy…
Watching the children, Blackie struggled to keep his drooping eyes open.
A few hours later.
Kkirorong.
Blackie eventually lost to sleep.
“Sigh. How can you protect the house like this?”
Sejun, after collecting all the treasure, said this as he placed the sleeping Blackie into his sling bag.
Then,
“Everyone, let’s go!”
He went back up to the surface with his companions and the children.
When they came back to the surface,
“Huh? Hiren, what are you doing?”
Sejun spotted Hiren moving the animals and plants that had been imprisoned in Eryon Castle’s prison to the outside.
It was her attempt to correct her wrongs, even if it was late.
At that moment,
Sniff sniff.
Kueng!
[Cuengi found the herb smell!]
Among the plants Hiren had transplanted, Cuengi hurriedly dug one up
Kueng!
[Dad, take it!]
and brought it to Sejun.
[Baby He Shou Wu]
It was one of the five elixirs needed for Sejun to become an SS-Rank Tower Farmer.
“Hehehe. Only one left now.”
Sejun laughed while holding the Baby He Shou Wu in his hand.
Now, if he could just find the Baby Ice Extreme Herb, all preparations to become an SS-Rank Tower Farmer would be complete.
