Part 2 Chapter 144: What Idiots! What Kind of Foolish Act Is This?! / 868
TL: Hanguk
Ten days had passed since receiving the Wedding Invitation from the Creator God.
In that time, Sejun traveled between the 10th Great Tower, the Black Great Tower 99th Floor Farm, and the farms on all the other Land Deeds he owned.
"Abundance."
Tap. Tap. Tap.
Using Power: Abundance and the Harvest Elixir, he rapidly harvested large quantities of crops.
"Vice Chairman Theo, could I ask for some more Harvest Elixir?"
"Puhuhut. Got it, meow!"
Whenever the Harvest Elixir ran low, he asked Theo, and
Hel-nim, I need 1,000 drops of Harvest Elixir, meow! If you don't bring it within an hour, it's your Impeachment, meow!
Theo would then place an order with the God of Merchants, Hel.
"Leah! Hurry up and make some Harvest Elixir! It's extremely urgent!"
"Hey! Let me get some sleep!"
"Wahhh. Hurry and make it! If you don't, Theo's gonna impeach me! I'll give you a ton of Sejun Company Welfare Points instead."
Hel whined and badgered Leah until she got the Harvest Elixir.
"Hah, fine. Okay."
Leah was worn out from making elixirs because of the Creator God's wedding. In return, she earned an enormous amount of Sejun Company Welfare Points, which she would later convert into Divine Power and put to good use for the development of her world.
While Sejun was busy harvesting crops,
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Eat lots and multiply fast!]
Cuengi was supplying feed to the Five Calamity Farm, home to the Locusts, Giant Bloodsucking Leeches, Fire Moths, Petrification Spiders, and Slimes.
The leftover corn husks from the corn harvest, the peels from fruits like grapes, branches trimmed during pruning, and scraps left over from preparing ingredients all served as feed for the calamities.
Flutter.
While feeding them, some of the calamities tried to escape the farm, but
Kueng! Kueng!
[No! Eat your food quietly!]
They were blocked by a barrier Cuengi had created with Telekinesis and couldn't escape.
While the calamities ate their feed,
Kueng! Kueng!
[They changed! Time to catch them now!]
Crash! Crash!
Whenever the calamities reached their final evolutions, becoming White Locusts, Leeches of True Blood, Fire Moths of Pitch-Black Flames, Petrification Beam Spiders, and Gold Slimes, Cuengi hunted them down and neatly stacked their carcasses in a corner of the Void Storage.
Cuengi was preparing only the finest ingredients so that Sejun could achieve Super Satisfaction.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi's gonna get Dad married!]
Just as Cuengi was proudly feeding the calamities again,
Whrrrr.
Kueng?!
[Why is this happening?!]
Sejun's Void Storage, or more precisely, the five subspace rooms where the Five Calamities were being raised, began to warp and get sucked toward a single point.
Of all places, Twisted Causality had occurred inside Sejun's Void Storage.
Kueng! Kueng!
[Dad, the subspace is disappearing! This can't happen!]
Cuengi grabbed hold of the space and pushed back with all his might to stop the subspace from vanishing, trying to restore it to its original state.
But
Creeeak.
Cuengi's strength alone wasn't enough.
Kueng?
Instead, Cuengi's front paws started getting sucked into the warped space as well.
***
10th Great Tower, 3rd Floor.
"Hmm hmm hmm."
"Meow meow meow."
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot."
Cawww.
"Hmm~ hmm~"
Sejun and his companions were humming as they harvested tangerines from the tangerine trees.
Just then,
[Sejun-nim, we have a major problem!]
System Eok-Samchiri shattered the mood.
"Huh? What?! Who else is getting married?!"
Sejun snapped in response to System Eok-Samchiri's words, but
[No! This is even bigger than that! Causality is being twisted inside your Void Storage!]
"What?!"
Clank.
Sejun hurriedly opened the Void Storage, and he could see the normally rectangular space slightly skewed toward a single point, warping.
"What is this? Eok-Samchiri, what am I supposed to do about this?"
As Sejun asked System Eok-Samchiri,
Kueng!
[My paw won't come out!]
Cuengi's voice rang out.
My Cuengi!
Sejun's heart dropped at the same time.
"Cuengi!"
Sejun rushed toward where Cuengi's voice was coming from, and
Kkueng...
[Dad, Cuengi's paw is stuck...]
Cuengi looked at Sejun with tears welling in his eyes.
"Just wait! Dad will get you out!"
As Sejun tried to run to Cuengi,
[Sejun-nim, you must not! You...]
System Eok-Samchiri hurriedly stopped him and explained.
This was Sejun's Void Storage, essentially the same as Sejun's own world, and it was connected to Sejun's Causality. So if Sejun came into contact with the Twisted Causality, he could be sucked in as well.
"Chairman Park, don't worry, meow! We'll rescue Cuengi, meow!"
In Sejun's place, the others grabbed onto Cuengi and tried to pull him out, but they didn't have enough strength.
"Come on, guys, you can do it!"
Sejun watched helplessly, unable to do anything.
A question suddenly came to his mind, and
"Wait. Eok-Samchiri, but Cuengi and the others are also connected to my Void Storage, so why are they fine?"
he asked System Eok-Samchiri.
[Well, that's because Cuengi-nim only holds partial authority over the Void Storage, so his connection to the Twisted Causality is weak, and more importantly, his Rank is high enough to withstand it.]
"Really? Then if I use Temporary Creator God to raise my Rank, that should work, right? The Creator God has the highest Rank. Activate Temporary Creator God!"
[Unique Power: Temporary Creator God have been invoked.]
[Ah. You must not...]
Sejun activated his power without hearing Eok-Samchiri's words and rushed to Cuengi.
And then,
"Cuengi!"
The moment Sejun grabbed Cuengi's front paw,
"Gah!"
An enormous suction force began pulling Sejun in. The Twisted Causality had started absorbing Sejun.
No matter how high the Creator God's Rank was, as mentioned before, this was Sejun's own Causality. And behind it lay a connection to the vast flow of Causality itself.
No matter how supreme the Creator God's Rank, it could only slightly alter the great flow of Causality; defying it entirely was impossible.
Ah...
'I'm going to die like this?'
As he felt his entire body being drained, and the scenes of his life flashed before his eyes,
-Can't even sleep with all this noise... What idiots! What kind of foolish act is this?!
Crash!
From Cuengi's body, a voice dripping with irritation erupted alongside a dark reddish energy, and the flow of Causality began returning to normal.
-What a nuisance, really.
The Beast of Apocalypse, who had been sleeping, had awakened.
"Ah! Beast of Apocalypse, good to see you!"
-Hmph!
The Beast of Apocalypse snorted at Sejun's familiar greeting.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Big bro Beast! I knew I could count on you!]
"Heehee. Thank you, Beast of Apocalypse oppa!"
-Tch. Get off me. Move, I said.
The Beast of Apocalypse grumbled at Blackie and Taecho as they clung to him, but while his mouth said one thing, he didn't actually push them away.
So the Beast of Apocalypse is a tsundere too.
Just as things seemed to be wrapping up,
-Get ready. It's coming soon.
The Beast of Apocalypse spoke while staring at the spot where Causality had just been twisted.
"Huh? What's coming?"
Kueng!
[When the Beast of Apocalypse restored Causality to normal just now, some of its Power of Apocalypse got sucked in, and the calamities absorbed it!]
Cuengi answered Sejun's question.
Thanks to how much Cuengi had grown, he could now make his own voice heard even when the Beast of Apocalypse was awake.
"But if the calamities absorbed it, why did you say 'it'? Shouldn't it be 'they'?"
-Because they merged into one. Get ready. It's coming out.
"What?!"
As Sejun exclaimed,
Crash!
Space shattered, and a grotesque, enormous monster appeared.
[Terminus of the Five Calamities, Apostle of Destruction Necrium]
Swept up in Causality, the five had merged together, absorbing various powers, and finally absorbing the Power of Apocalypse to awaken as an Apostle of Destruction.
Necrium's appearance was nothing short of revolting. It had the massive body of a Locust, with nine writhing Bloodsucking Leech heads where its head should be, wings from a Fire Moth, and legs from a Petrification Spider.
And,
Squirm. Squirm.
Blister-like Slimes swarmed across its back.
-Be careful. It possesses the same Power of Apocalypse as me.
Crash!
The Beast of Apocalypse issued the warning and shot toward the Terminus of the Five Calamities like a bolt of lightning.
"Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, shall protect the Great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow! One-meow-slash, meow!"
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. O power of gravity..."
Theo and Iona also launched their attacks.
Our guys will win, right?
Sejun quietly watched the battle, and
Kking! Kking! Kking!
[Great Blackie-nim's team, win! The Apostle of Destruction is the bad side! Justice shall prevail!]
"Go brothers, go Iona unnie! You can do it!"
Blackie and Taecho cheered with all their might.
Crash!
Necrium tanked a punch from the Beast of Apocalypse and held its ground.
-As I thought, this level of power isn't enough?
As the Beast of Apocalypse glanced toward where Sejun, Blackie, and Taecho were and deliberated,
Pop. Pop. Pop.
Slimes launched from Necrium's back toward the Beast of Apocalypse.
"Puhuhut. Leave this to me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow! Meow-meow-meow! Meow-meow-meow!"
Theo dispatched them with his Meow Meow Storm Fist.
Seizing the opening, Necrium flapped its wings and tried to take flight, but
"Meteor Shower."
Iona rained meteors down on Necrium, preventing it from getting airborne.
Meanwhile,
Crash!
The Beast of Apocalypse struck Necrium again. Contrary to expectations of an overwhelming victory, the fight was evenly matched.
Then,
Flash.
Necrium's legs split open, revealing countless eyes.
Bzzzz.
They began firing Petrification Beams wildly in every direction.
"Land Move... Activate Temporary Creator God!"
Sejun had been about to raise the ground to block the Petrification Beams, but when he saw that the beams turned everything they touched, including the surrounding area, to stone, he quickly activated his power and wrapped it around Blackie and Taecho instead.
And then,
[Damage beyond all reckoning have been sustained.]
[To ensure thine survival, accumulated time from Unique Power: Temporary Creator God shall be expended.]
[500 hours of accumulated Unique Power: Temporary Creator God time have been deducted.]
"Huh?"
The hours Sejun had so diligently saved up were blown away in an instant.
"Damn it!"
Do you know how long it took me to save that up?!
My wedding is going to be delayed!
"If it's gonna get deducted anyway, I'd rather strike first than get hit! Raaagh!"
Sejun, consumed by rage, momentarily lost his reason and charged at Necrium.
A moment later.
Whoosh.
Thwack!
"Aaargh!"
He was struck by one of Necrium's nine heads and sent tumbling in a pathetic heap.
[Unimaginable damage has been sustained.]
...
..
"Nooo!"
This time, 1,300 hours were gone.
As Sejun took hit after hit from Necrium and screamed,
"Great Hybrid Chairman Park, are you okay, meow?!"
Theo, having appeared on Sejun's knee at some point, asked in a worried voice.
"Yeah. I'm fine, so don't worry about me and go fight."
"Got it, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, will finish it off quickly and come back, meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, shall fully charge up from Chairman Park's knee, meow!"
"Hm? Fully charge?"
"Puhuhut. That's right, meow!"
Theo placed both front paws on Sejun's knee, and
Flash!
Theo's entire body began to glow with blinding light.
What exactly did he charge up?
Sejun watched Theo's glowing body with curiosity. Theo had said he was fully charging from his knee, but Sejun felt no change in his own body.
"Hahk! Hahk! Hahk! You hit our Chairman Park, meow! Unforgivable, meow!"
In any case, the fully charged Theo swung his front paw at Necrium, and
KA-BOOM!
[Park Theo, the Lucky Legendary Merchant of the Black Tower, have slain the Terminus of the Five Calamities, Apostle of Destruction Necrium.]
Necrium was annihilated. Because Sejun now held the Creator God's Rank, the energy Theo received from Sejun's knee had also grown stronger.
-What? I woke up for nothing...
Watching the scene, the Beast of Apocalypse felt deflated and went back to sleep.
