Part 2 Chapter 124: It’s only been 3 hours since we parted... / 848
TL: Hanguk
"The sun has already risen. Then I shall take my leave."
“Okay.”
As the Creator God stood up, Sejun carefully got up so as not to wake Theo, Iona, Cuengi, and Taecho, who were sleeping with their heads and knees resting on him.
“I can take what’s left, right? It would be a waste to throw it away.”
“Yes. That’s...”
“Hahaha. Thank you.”
Before Sejun could finish his reply, the Creator God quickly packed the leftover snacks on the table into his Void Storage and,
“Creator God-nim, farewell.”
“Alright. Take care. Let’s see each other again soon.”
left, with Sejun seeing him off.
“Soon?”
Why does he talk like he’ll be back right away?
After seeing the Creator God off, Sejun returned home.
Grrr. Kking?!
[Grrr. Creator God, where did he go?!]
Having come to his senses, Blackie growled and looked for the Creator God. His tail was curled tightly between his legs.
“Blackie, what’s wrong?”
Kking! Kking...
[Butler! The Creator God harassed the Great Blackie in the mental world just because I glanced at the roasted and dried sweet potatoes! The Great Blackie had to run around the playground and drag a mountain...]
Feeling deeply wronged, Blackie tattled in full detail to Sejun about the mental discipline he received from the Creator God.
“That was too much from the Creator God-nim.”
Kking!
[Butler, scold the Creator God next time he comes!]
“Alright. I’ll confront him next time he visits.”
Kking! Kking!
[Yeah! Let us make him get stamped by big brother too!]
As Sejun took his side, Blackie, now feeling triumphant, raised his once-curled tail high as if it would ascend to the heavens.
“Time to get breakfast ready. Blackie, eat this in the meantime.”
Kking!
[Okay!]
After placing a piece of roasted and dried sweet potato in Blackie’s mouth, Sejun went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
30 minutes later.
Once the food was ready,
“Alright. Blackie, go wake the kids.”
Kking!
[Okay!]
Sejun sent Blackie to wake up the kids.
Kking! Kking! Kking!
[Everyone wake up! Get up! Let’s eat breakfast!]
Blackie ran into the kids’ room, barking loudly to wake them.
And then,
“Hehe... smells good...”
“...cabbage soup and sausage...?”
With half-closed eyes, the children walked into the kitchen as if drawn by the scent.
As they walked, the children gradually woke up.
“Thank you for the meal!”
“Tank you for the meeel!”
The children sat down at the table and began eating.
“Alright. Those who want airplane spoons, come to the teacher.”
“Yes!”
At Sejun’s words, the Children of Destruction all rushed over holding their rice bowls and stood in front of him.
But.
“Nene, aren’t you doing airplane spoon?”
“No. I’m fine now.”
Having grown into a Child of Creation, Nene sat with Gomgom and Mulmul, eating calmly at her seat.
“I see.”
Nene used to like the airplane spoon the most...
Sejun felt a little disappointed. It seemed like a child growing up wasn’t always a happy thing.
I hope our Taecho grows up slowly...
Pushing aside his disappointment, Sejun said,
“Alright then, here comes the airplane~ Shooong~”
He scooped a spoonful of rice from Pangpang’s bowl, who had arrived first in front of him.
“Where should we go first?”
“To Sausage Land!”
“Alright. Then to Sausage Land.”
Moving the spoon like an airplane as Pangpang requested, he stopped at the sausage bowl and placed a sausage on it.
Then.
“Huh?! We’re out of fuel and have to stop by Spinach Land on the way?”
He sneakily added some side dishes the kids didn’t usually eat.
After placing various side dishes,
“Now departing for Pangpang’s mouth~”
Sejun brought the spoon to Pangpang’s mouth.
“Ahhh~”
Pangpang opened his mouth wide and accepted the food.
“Hehehe.”
With a satisfied expression, Pangpang returned to his seat to eat the rest of his food.
“Now it’s Helmang’s turn!”
Helmang held out his rice bowl to Park Sejun.
“Alright. Helmang, which country should we go to first?”
“Sausage Land! No crash landings!”
Helmang spoke with a firm expression, refusing to eat vegetables.
However.
“Huh? A typhoon is coming and the sausage is about to fall!”
“No! My sausage!”
“Unavoidable emergency landing on Spinach Island!”
“...Alright. Nothing can be done about a typhoon.”
Falling for Sejun’s acting, Helmang ended up eating the vegetables too.
“Next.”
Using various methods, Sejun put spinach and other vegetables on the airplane spoon and fed them to the kids.
Some time later.
The children’s meal ended and.
Munch. Munch.
Sejun ate the cold rice along with the leftover side dishes.
“Maintain cleanliness.”
Sejun washed the dishes he had used. Aileen and Iona took care of the rest with magic.
Meanwhile.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Follow Teacher Blackie!]
“Follow Captain Taecho!”
The children began playing on their own with Blackie and Taecho.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi brewed coffee for you to drink!]
“Okay. I’ll enjoy it.”
“Thank you, Cuengi.”
Sejun and Aileen drank the morning coffee Cuengi had brewed and took a short break.
Slurp.
After drinking coffee, I’ll stop by the Black Tower, pick some peas, and if I have time, use the Land Deed...
While drinking coffee, Sejun was organizing his tasks for later.
Ding dong.
The doorbell rang.
“Who could it be?”
Sejun stood up in confusion and opened the front door.
“Hahaha. Sejun, have you been well?”
The Creator God, wearing the same outfit as yesterday, greeted him warmly.
“Of course I have. It’s only been three hours since we parted....”
“Hahaha. Has it only been that long?”
“Yes.”
“I remembered your words, Sejun, telling me to come if I had nothing to do.”
“Ah. Come in firs-”
As Sejun was about to lead the Creator God inside.
Kking!
[You Creator God bastard! How dare you harass the Great Blackie!]
Blackie, who had snuck up and was pressed tightly against Sejun’s leg, barked fiercely at the Creator God. His tail was curled tightly like a pig’s and tucked between his legs.
However.
Kking!
[Butler! Scold him!]
Hmph! You don’t have a butler, do you?!
His voice was full of arrogance.
As Blackie barked at him.
"Blackie you punk...."
The Creator God glared at him with angry eyes.
Kking... Kking...
Blackie quickly lost his spirit and hid behind Sejun’s leg, trembling and whimpering. The Creator God’s aura was terrifying, beyond even the protection of his butler.
At that moment.
“Creator God-nim, if you’re going to be angry at our Blackie, just go back.”
Sejun said in a cold voice. Even to the Creator God.
Though Blackie had behaved rudely, he was still family. It was his own fault, but seeing him overwhelmed and scared, with his tail down because of the Creator God’s pressure, made Sejun feel bad.
“Park Blackie, it’s not polite to be rude to a guest. Did I tell you to make trouble? Or not to?”
He grabbed Blackie’s cheeks and gave him a scolding with a gentle shake. He preferred to scold him himself, it gave him peace of mind.
Perhaps because he was being scolded by Sejun, Blackie seemed to calm down and no longer trembled.
Kking... Kking... Kking...
[Butlerrr... I reflecfted... it hurfs... let’s resolve dis wifh words...]
Though he was whining in pain.
A short while later.
“Alright. Apologize now.”
Kking! Kking!
[Creator God-nim, the Great Blackie was wrong! I’m sorry!]
At Sejun’s words, Blackie apologized to the Creator God.
“Ahem. I also acted in an unbecoming way. Blackie, I’m sorry.”
The Creator God also apologized to Blackie, and the two reconciled.
Kking!
[Creator God-nim! That roasted and dried sweet potato belongs to the Great Blackie!]
“Hey now. Park Blackie, don’t eye someone else’s things.”
Of course, that didn’t mean their relationship had improved. It just meant they wouldn’t cross the line with each other.
***
“Well then, I’ll be on my way.”
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. All the leftover roasted and dried sweet potatoes are the Great Blackie’s!]
As the Creator God stood up, Blackie dashed toward the leftover roasted and dried sweet potatoes.
However.
“Hahaha. I’ll take what’s left.”
Whoosh.
Before anyone realized it, the other snacks and the roasted and dried sweet potatoes, which had been piled high on the plate, disappeared into the Creator God's Void Storage.
Kkueng?!
Smooch.
Kking?!
Blackie suddenly kissed Cuengi, who was across from him.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi-hyung also loves Blackie very much!]
Smooch. Smooch. Smooch.
Kkiiing...
[Hyung, let go...]
Cuengi thought Blackie was being affectionate toward him and started showering him with affection in earnest.
In the meantime, the Creator God leisurely departed.
“Kids, let’s go.”
Sejun took his group and, now accompanied by the Children of Creation, Gomgom, Mulmul, and Nene, headed to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
He was taking the Children of Creation to the dragon leaders to learn about the world, and.
[The ninth trial to become the Great Colorless Dragon: Please absorb 1% of one of the Nine Attribute Essences.]
Reward: 0.01% Inheritance of the Great Colorless Dragon’s Power
To receive essences from the dragon leaders.
A short while later.
[You have arrived at the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]
Sejun and his group arrived on the 99th floor.
“Hello, dragon leader-nims.”
After greeting the dragon leaders,
“Gomgom, Mulmul, Nene, see you on the weekend.”
“Yes!”
He entrusted the three to the Great Brown Dragon Grave Renma, the Great Blue Dragon Kin Aster, and the Great Silver Dragon Crisella Hisron.
Then.
“Dragon leader-nims, please give me some essences.”
“Puhuhut. dragon leader-nims, hurry up and give us the essences, meow!”
He requested the essences from the dragon leaders.
– Sejun, you know you have to be extremely careful, right?
– Be careful, and be even more careful when consuming it.
– Sejun, can’t you just not consume it?
– Yeah. We’re really worried.
Though the dragon leaders handed over the essences with worried expressions.
“Hehehe. It’s okay.”
Sejun was full of confidence.
“Iona, here.”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes. Power of magic...”
First, Iona divided the essences into 100 parts each, reducing their energy to one hundredth. She wanted to split them even further, but doing so would disperse the energy, so it wasn’t possible.
Iona took the nine essences and split each into 100 parts, then.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Power of magic...”
Grouped them by opposing attributes, like fire and water, light and darkness, poison and life.
Normally, combining opposing attributes like this would be dangerous, but for Sejun, it was actually helpful.
Like the principle of fighting poison with poison, even if one energy tried to run rampant, the opposing force would suppress it, preventing any single attribute from overtaking Sejun’s body.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Sejun-nim, it's done.”
Iona handed Sejun a pouch filled with hundreds of orbs.
“Thank you.”
Among the colorful orbs, Sejun picked one with light and darkness swirling in a yin-yang pattern.
"Puhuhut. Chairman Park, do not worry about anything because I, Vice Chairman Theo, am watching over you, meow!"
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. If Dad gets hurt, Cuengi will heal you right away!]
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler, trust Great Blackie!]
“Daddy, Taecho will protect you!”
– Kahahaha. You chose the orb with the darkness attribute, as expected, Sejun trusts me the most! Sejun, just trust Kaiser Pritani the Great Black Dragon!
– What are you talking about?! He chose the light attribute, not darkness! Sejun, just trust Kellion Mamebe the Great White Dragon!
– No, it's me!
– It’s me!
While the group and Kaiser and Kellion prepared to provide emergency care if necessary.
Gulp.
Sejun swallowed the orb.
[You have consumed a weak essence of darkness and light.]
[The energy is too powerful for the body to handle.]
[<Power: Strong Body> has been activated.]
[Magic power is consumed to protect your body from breaking apart.]
Sejun’s struggle had begun.
And then.
[Bev, the God of Courage, is pleased with your bold challenge of swallowing uncontrollable energy.]
[You have acquired 5 achievements of Courage.]
Bev, pleased with Sejun’s daring challenge, awarded him achievements of Courage for the first time in a while.
