<strong>TL: Hanguk</strong>
99th floor of the ck Tower.
“The fourth field trip location is a ce called Tartarus, the prison of the gods. The guards who watch over the prison will kindly tell us about the incredible benefits of bing a guard. But don’t be fooled. It’s all lies.”
Biiing?! Biiing?!
[Lies?! Even gods lie?!]
“Yeah. Actually, the guards there are also gods who havemitted crimes. If we be guards, the current guards can leave.”
Biiing?! Biiing!
[Really?! Then we must not be guards!]
“Right, never. If you be a guard, you can never leave Tartarus, which means you’ll never be able to see Sejun~nim again.”Biiing… Biiing…
[That’s scary… I don’t want to go…]
“Don’t worry. We can’t decide our career path during the field trip anyway. The guards can’t do anything to us.”
Biiing!
[Okay!]
“And the fifth field trip location is a ce called the Resting Grounds of the Forgotten Gods, where dead gods stay briefly before disappearing. You need to be wary of the gravekeeper here.”
Biiing?
[The gravekeeper?]
“Yeah. They tempt you by saying you can obtain a vast amount of divine power or powers left behind by the gods’ lingering thoughts. But in reality, the divine power is barely a trickle, and so far, only one power has ever appeared. In a million years.”
Biiing!
[Then we absolutely must not be gravekeepers either!]
“Right. Plus, if you work for 100 years, they only give you a 12-hour break.”
Biiing… Biiing.
[That’s really pitiful for the gravekeepers… And I’m truly grateful to Hel~nim for telling us this.]
“Exactly. None of the other gods told us about this, but Hel~nim is truly a kind god. Sweetie, when you go see Hel~nimter, bring some alcohol. Hel~nim seems to like drinking.”
Biiing! Biiing!
[Okay! I’ll bring about 100 bottles!]
And so, Toryong ryed the confidential information Hel had leaked directly to Sweetie.
Since Toryong had also revealed ssified information,[The confidential information has been passed on to another.]
[An additional fine of 7 billion divine power has been imposed.]
[Remaining forcibly seized divine power: 7,299,321,000.]
The entire responsibility was shifted to the original informant, Hel.
A price too heavy for being a kind god.
“This damn system!!! I will definitely impeach it!!!”
Thanks to this, Hel’s resolve to impeach the system burned even stronger.
***
Thunk.
A sword fell and lodged into the ground at an angle.
“Sejun No. 3, good job.”
“Sejun No. 3, good job, meow…”
Kueng…
Kking…
Sejun and hispanions spoke as they looked at the lone sword left behind.
As time ran out, Sejun No. 3 ultimately vanished.
Despite making great progress through training with Bochi, he had hardly achieved anything on his own. He had merely swung his sword tirelessly.
Because of that, Sejun felt heavy-hearted. He felt guilty, but at the same time, he resolved to live even more diligently.
As he was lost in thought and picked up the sword embedded in the ground,[A quest has been generated.]
[Quest: Sejun No. 3 wished to cut through a storm with this sword. As his original self, fulfill Sejun No. 3’s aspiration by cutting through a storm with this sword.]
Reward: The enlightenment Sejun No. 3 could not convey.
A quest message appeared before Sejun.
“You want me to cut through a storm?”
It was a ridiculous quest.
But since it was his wish…
He wanted to grant it.
For now, he would keep it on hold.
Maybe one day, when he had truly be strong, he might be able to cut through a storm.
After bidding farewell to Sejun No. 3’sst moments, Sejun had a simple breakfast with hispanions.
And then,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I’ll go make lots of money, meow!”
Kueng!
[Cuengi will go too!]
After sending Theo and Cuengi off to work,
“Summon Door. Let’s go, ckie.”
Kking!
[Got it!]
Sejun took ckie Family and moved to the 10th Tower.
Another day as usual.
He diligently nted the Destruction Pioneers and Destruction Devourer seeds.
About two hourster,
Kugugung.[The amount of Energy of Creation generated in the 10th Tower has reached 48 million liters.]
[The 8th floor of the 10th Tower is now open.]
[The 8th floor of the 10th Tower is now activated.]
The 8th floor of the tower had been unlocked.
“ckie, follow me.”
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Got it! Guys, I’ll tell you the restter!]
After taking ckie to the 7th floor of the tower,[You have cleared the 7th floor of the 10th Tower.]
[As a clear reward for the 7th floor of the 10th Tower, all stats have increased by 1,000.]
[As a clear reward for the 7th floor of the 10th Tower, you have obtained 100 billion Tower Coins and 1.5 trillion experience points.]
[You have leveled up.]
…
..
.
[You are now moving to the 8th floor of the 10th Tower.]
After receiving the 7th-floor clear rewards, he proceeded to the 8th floor.
“This time, it’snd again?”
Whaty before him was a vast stretch ofnd. However, unlike the previous floors, there were nine transparent crystals in the center.
“What is this?”
Tap.
As Sejun ced his hand on one of the crystals,[This is the position of the Tower Farmer of the Green Tower.]
[A quest has been generated.]
[Quest: The 8th floor of the 10th Tower requires all Tower Farmers from the Nine Towers to work together to solve it. Each Tower Farmer must ce their hand on their respective crystal.]
Reward: Unlocking the 9th floor of the 10th Tower
A message appeared.
“So, we just have to ce our hands? That’s easy.”
Tap. Tap.
Sejun found his position and ced his hand on the crystal.
Then,[You have been identified as the Tower Farmer of the ck Tower.]
The transparent crystal turned ck.
“So, this is how it works. Orik, summon. Veronica, summon…”
Sejun summoned the other Tower Farmers and had them ce their hands on their respective crystals before sending them back.
And then,
“Only two left now.”
He had left behind Ajax and Ophelia.
“Ajax, Ophelia, summon. Move!”
Sejun summoned the two and quickly moved down to the 7th floor.
Because staying together would mean death.
Lately, Ajax had also been growing stronger, making it impossible for them to stay in the same ce.
A short whileter,[All Tower Farmers of the Nine Towers have ced their hands on their respective crystals.]
[The quest has beenpleted.]
[As a questpletion reward, the 9th floor of the 10th Tower has been unlocked.]
A questpletion message appeared before Sejun.[The honorary employee of the White Tower says the job is done.]
Ajax had also signaled that the task was finished.
“Alright. Ajax, good job. You guys can go back.”
After sending them back and returning to the 8th floor, he found that there was now only a single white crystal at the center of the floor.
Tap.
When Sejun ced his hand on the crystal, he received his clear rewards and was transported to the 9th floor of the tower, where yet another temple appeared.
“Huh? What’s that?”
It wouldn’t start moving all of a sudden, would it?
The ever-cautious Sejun muttered as he carefully approached the massive statue standing at the center of the temple.
At that moment,
-Do not worry. I cannot move.
The roughly sculpted statue, which depicted a figure in prayer with both hands together, suddenly spoke.
“……”
2a09:bac1:4080:10::119:9
Sejun, startled, froze in ce.
-Come closer. I am the one who verifies qualifications. If you are worthy, you will be able to ascend to the final floor of the 10th Tower.
“The final floor? Does the 10th Tower end at the 10th floor?”
-That is correct.
“What happens if I don’t have the qualifications?”
-Then you simply have to leave.
“You’re not going to kill me for failing, right? You’re not suddenly going to stand up and throw a punch, are you?”
Sejun continued to doubt the statue.
-… You have quite the imagination. No such thing will happen. Hardly anyone makes it this far, so killing them would be a loss for me. It’s easier to just send them back and let them requalify.
“Are you sure?”
-I am sure.
“Really?”
-Really.
“Swear it on the Creator God.”
-I swear.
Only after confirming multiple times did Sejun finally approach the statue.
-ce your hand upon me.
“Okay.”
Tap.
Following the statue’s instruction, Sejun ced his hand on it.
-Now, I shall verify whether you have the qualifications.
Light rippled across the statue’s body, flowing like waves as it scanned Sejun.
The light didn’t just examine his physical body, it traced the entire history of his achievements.
How did he even build these kinds of connections?!
The statue witnessed things that were simply unbelievable.
Its role was to determine how much support the person could receive from other forces in the fight against Destruction.
Normally, just being barely tolerated by the Great Nine Dragons and receiving some minor favor from the gods would be enough.
But what the statue had just seen… Sejun’s influence was so immense that a single word from him could move entire worlds.[Your affinity with the Great Nine Dragons is at the highest possible level.]
[You have far exceeded the qualification requirements.]
[Though youck religious faith, you are deeply loved by the gods, and your affinity with them is at the highest level.]
[You have far exceeded the qualification requirements.]
Sejun had overwhelmingly surpassed the required conditions.
-Truly remarkable!
The statue, having verified Sejun’s qualifications, eximed in admiration.
“Then can I go to the final floor now?”
-Of course! Park Sejun, if not you, then who else could go?!
“Heh. Well, that’s true.”
Sejun puffed up with pride at the statue’s words.
-Then, I shall grant you the reward for passing the qualification test and send you to the final floor.
“Yes!”
Hearing the word reward, Sejun responded enthusiastically.[You have cleared the 9th floor of the 10th Tower.]
[As a clear reward for the 9th floor of the 10th Tower, all stats have increased by 2,000.]
…
..
.
[Moving to the 10th floor of the 10th Tower…]
Just as he was about to ascend to the top floor of the 10th Tower,[Patrick, the God of Earth, urgently tells you not to go.]
“Huh?! Why?!”[Patrick, the God of Earth, says that Hamer, Ste, and himself are all inside the 10th floor of the tower.]
“Oh. Really? Then hurry up and vacate the room.”[…]
Patrick was speechless at Sejun’s response.[Patrick, the God of Earth, says that Hamer and Ste are still working, so they can’t leave right away.]
“They’re making Enhancing Elixirs, so I guess there’s no helping it. But when did Ste~nim arrive?”[Patrick, the God of Earth, says that Ste returned from vacation yesterday.]
“Got it.”
After finishing his conversation with Patrick, Sejun muttered,
“But wow, I really climbed a lot today.”
Thinking about his own achievements, he couldn’t help but admire himself.
In just one hour, he had ascended from the 7th floor to the 9th floor.
Considering that it normally took more than 10 days to unlock a single floor, this was insanely fast.
Normally, the 8th floor alone should have taken several times longer, but for Sejun, progress had been exponentially faster.
Sejun then returned to the 1st floor, finished nting the remaining seeds, and went back to the ck Tower for lunch.
And then,
“Hmm-hmm-hmm~”
While he was preparing lunch,
Plop.
Something soft and fluffy wrapped around Sejun’s face.
“You’re home early?”
“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! I made a lot of money today, so I left work early, meow! Meoww…”
While chatting with Theo, Sejun grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, detached him from his face, and ced him on hisp.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi is home too!]
In the meantime, Cuengi also entered the kitchen.
Theo had left work early, while Cuengi had finished on time.
In the afternoon, Sejun usually used the dimensional gate to enter J?rmungandr’s stomach.
When hunting Destruction Sejuns outside, he always needed Cuengi’s telekinesis support.
You never knew when the ground might copse again.
After they all had lunch together,
“Alright,e in a littleter.”
Sejun left first and stepped through the dimensional gate.
Lately, there had been days when no Tears of Destruction entered J?rmungandr’s stomach, but just in case, Sejun always went in first.
If someone else mindlessly entered and something other than Sejun got copied, it would be a disaster.
“Nothing today…”
Unfortunately, there were no Tears of Destruction today.
It was because Sejun had stepped outside of J?rmungandr’s body, and mie had been keeping watch.
Kiki!
Kiki!
The Destruction Devourers extended leaves filled with Tears of the Iplete Creator God toward Sejun.
A total of 120 drops of Tear of the Iplete Creator God.
“Oh. Thanks. Here you go.”
Sejun immediately converted the tears into Great Growth Elixir, and three ss bottles filled with the Great Growth Elixir appeared.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”
Kueng!
Kking!
Meanwhile, Theo, Cuengi, and ckie jumped through the dimensional gate and clung to Sejun.
At that moment,
“Meow?! Chairman Park, I feel a pull, meow!”
Theo suddenly raised his front paw and eximed.
“Oh? Where?”
“Puhuhut. This way, meow!”
He pointed with his paw in the direction of the pull.
It was a hole leading to the outside.
Stepping through the hole,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, over there, meow!”
Theo shouted while looking at a massive Tear of Destruction in the distance.
