Kkamang giggled. “Hehe! I couldn’t feed him before because I didn’t want anyone to notice, but today I can give him everything!” Kkamang had collected core fragments. His plan was simple: feed them to Sejun and make Sejun stronger.
Just then,
Thud! Thud!
“Squeak?!”
“[What is this?!]”
Something was wrong inside Sejun’s body. A wave of heat and cold crashed through him.
The dragon energy from the Strong Young Dragon’s Stout Bones and the divine energy from the Divinity-Mixed Divine Blood were fighting each other.
Putting dragon bones into a human was usually easy. Dragons were much stronger, so the body accepted it.
But a god was different. Gods and dragons were similar in power. Their energies didn’t mix well. They started to push each other away inside Sejun.
If this kept happening, Sejun would be in danger, like a small shrimp caught in a whale fight.
“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!”
“[You! You’re making our butler sick! Get along!]”
Kkamang used his core to quickly stop the fight between the energies.
Kkamang’s special skill was taking in all kinds of energy and making it his own.
And because Sejun had Kkamang’s core, it was easy for Kkamang to stop the dragon and god energies from fighting.
Kkihihit. “Squeak!”
“[Hee hee! Good! This was worth 30 dried sweet potatoes!]”
Kkamang, having done the tremendous job of preventing the clash of the two authorities, was now thinking of the trivial reward of receiving 30 dried sweet potatoes from Sejun.
Just then,
Caw! Caw?
“(Kkamang-nim, I brought a core! Should I bring more?)”
Karrre brought a total of 3 core fragments, one in his mouth and one in each foot.
“Squeak!”
“[Of course! Keep bringing them!]”
Caw!
“(Yes!)”
The butler’s core must be stronger to suppress the two energies for sure!
To block the dragon and god energies trying to push each other away, the core had to balance them with greater force.
“Squeak!”
“[Butler, swallow it!]”
While Theo and Kkueng were busy massaging Sejun’s body, Kkamang put a core fragment in Sejun’s mouth.
Thwack.
Gulp.
Kkamang pressed it down with his front paws to make him swallow.
After making Sejun swallow 3 core fragments like that, while waiting for the next core fragment,
“Squeak?!”
“[What is this again?]”
Kkamang’s eyes caught a suspicious movement.
Sejun’s shadow was slowly moving, trying to cover Sejun’s body.
“How dare you! Try to take my butler’s body?!”
“Squeak!”
“[Um-dol and Kkomi, go and take care of it!]”
“Yes!”
“Squeak!”
As Um-dol and Kkomi, who received Kkamang’s instructions, made contact with Sejun’s shadow,
Shiver shiver.
Sejun’s shadow suddenly began to shake violently.
A moment later.
“Great Kkamang-nim, we have captured it!”
Um-dol brought a black stone, larger than himself, on his head to Kkamang.
And
“-Fenrir-nim, please save me!”
As soon as he saw Kkamang, the black stone, the heart of the God of Darkness, Dark, cried out to be saved.
About 3 months ago, Dark had been waiting for Sejun to get stronger and release the seal.
‘Haa. When is Sejun-nim going to get stronger?’
I’m bored…
He fell asleep.
And
‘Huh?! Sejun-nim, why have you become so strong?!’
At this rate, I can release 10% of the seal?!
The heart of Dark, who woke up from sleep fifteen days ago, was delighted to see Sejun’s remarkable condition.
However,
Huh?! Why is there a dragon bone in Sejun-nim’s body?
The dragon bone in Sejun’s body prevented the heart of the God of Darkness, Dark, from approaching Sejun.
“You came rolling in! Sejun-nim is mine!”
The heart of the God of Darkness, Dark, was about to have a fight with the dragon bone to take over Sejun’s body.
However,
Kkirorong.
Why is Fenrir here?!
After discovering Kkamang sleeping in Sejun’s chest, he stayed very quietly, holding his breath so as not to be discovered.
Because his main body was eaten and sealed by Fenrir, the heart of Dark was not fooled by Kkamang’s cute appearance.
I have to tell Sejun-nim!
“-Sejun-nim, this guy is dangerous! He’s the wolf Fenrir who hunts the Apostle of Destruction, the 1st Seat God!”
The heart of Dark tried to tell Sejun about Kkamang’s identity whenever he had a chance, but
Ah! Get out of the way!
He couldn’t talk to Sejun because of the dragon bone.
The heart of Dark failed every time like that.
‘This is divine blood?!’
As divine blood was injected into Sejun’s body,
It’s a chance!
He tried to push out the dragon bone by joining forces with the divine blood, but was caught by Kkamang and brought to Um-dol and Kkomi.
It was really fortunate for Kkamang.
And
What if this guy tells the butler about my identity?
Kkamang was troubled as he looked at the heart of Dark, who knew his identity.
Kkihihit. “Squeak! Squeak!”
“[Hee hee! This will do! Come here!]”
Kkamang released Dark’s soul connected to the heart of the God of Darkness, Dark.
“Squeak!”
“[Now that you’re free, go back!]”
He took Dark’s thoughts out of Dark’s heart and sent them to his original soul.
That left only the unconscious heart of Dark in front of Kkamang.
“Squeak!”
“[Butler, swallow it!]”
Kkamang also fed the heart of the God of Darkness, Dark, to Sejun and used it as a material to strengthen his authority, just like the core.
Kkihihit. Squeak···
“[Hee hee. I’m tired now···]”
I have to get 30 dried sweet potatoes from the butler…
Kkirorong.
As Kkamang, who had strengthened his authority by feeding Sejun 10 cores, fell asleep, his subordinates also took their places next to Kkamang and fell asleep.
“Umm.”
Sejun, who had fainted from the pain of having his blood replaced, woke up.
“Chairman Park, are you okay?!”
“Squeak?!”
“[Dad, are you okay?!]”
Theo and Kkueng, who were massaging Sejun, asked in worried voices.
“Yeah. I’m okay? I think I feel better.”
“I’m feeling much better!” Sejun said, his voice full of energy as he pushed himself up to stand. *Thump*. A soft weight shifted on his chest. It was Kkamang and his little mushroom friends, who had been dozing peacefully on him. They tumbled gently across Sejun’s stomach, settling back down with sleepy sighs.
“Kee hee hee…” Kkamang chuckled in his sleep, a tiny smile spreading across his face. He must be dreaming of tasty mushrooms, Sejun thought fondly.
Carefully, Sejun began to scoop up the sleeping mushroom family, wanting to move them to their sling bag before he stood properly. But before he could even straighten his back, Theo’s voice squeaked with alarm.
“Chairman Park, no! Don’t get up yet, nya!” Theo cried, rushing towards him as if the world was ending.
“Why? Is there something wrong with me?” Sejun asked.
I feel fine though?
“That’s right, nya! Your face is in a very serious condition, nya! Chairman Park keeps frowning, causing wrinkles on his face, nya! We must treat it, nya!”
I can’t allow Chairman Park to look even more pathetic when meeting Eileen tomorrow, nya!
Theo had his own desperate reasons.
“······.”
But he failed to gain Sejun’s sympathy.
Here we go again.
Theo didn’t notice Sejun’s anger and kept kneading Sejun’s face happily.
Twitch.
“It’s. Not. Rotten.” Sejun said.
“Bakeman, frowning will only make your face more wrinkly, nya.”
Sejun got angry and grabbed Theo’s cheeks, pulling and squeezing them like soft dough.
“Nyang…”
Hehehe. Shall we check the results of the torment?
Sejun fiddled with Theo’s cheeks, checking the newly acquired power.
‘Divine blood mixed with divinity,’ was it?
As Sejun checked the power,
“Huh?!”
The power ‘Divine blood mixed with divinity’ was not visible, and a power with a different name was displayed instead.
>Power: Divine Blood Passing Through the Heart of Dark, the God of Darkness< The divine blood is circulating through the body, passing through the heart of Dark, the God of Darkness. Level +10 All stats +100 All stat potential +1000 Special stat Divinity is unlocked. Divinity +10 Divinity increases by 0.0001 each time the divine blood completes a cycle through the body and passes through the heart of Dark, the God of Darkness. You can summon a shadow minion that mimics 5% of the owner's power using the power of darkness. (Skills cannot be mimicked due to low Divinity.) “Ah. The heart of Dark, the God of Darkness, merged with the power.” Sejun said. That’s right. I did have the heart of Dark, the God of Darkness. Sejun remembered something he had forgotten as he read the explanation. But Divinity has been unlocked? Sejun continued reading the explanation. Checking the stats, Stats: Divinity (10.0252/100) The Divinity stat was visible. The decimal point looked messy because Divinity increased by 0.0001 each time the blood completed a cycle through the heart. So, has it been about 2 hours since I fainted? [The divine blood has passed through the heart of Dark, the God of Darkness.] [Divinity increases by 0.0001.] Sejun calculated the passage of time using the numbers other than the Divinity 10 obtained from the power, as the message that Divinity increased appeared approximately every 30 seconds. “Summon Shadow Minion.” Sejun said. Sejun summoned a shadow minion to check the last explanation. ‘I hope it works this time?’ Recalling that he couldn't summon any shadow minions before due to low magic power, Sejun waited for the shadow minion to be summoned. At that moment, Swish. Sejun's shadows, wearing straw hats, began to rise from Sejun's shadow one by one. A total of five shadow minions rose and waited for Sejun's instructions. As Sejun examined one of the shadow minions, [Shadow Minion of Park Sejun] A shadow minion that mimics Park Sejun, the tower farmer of the Black Tower. Stats: Strength (155) Stamina (180) Agility (150) Magic Power (225) Unique Skill: Son of Darkness (Master) Disappears after 3 days. (Delivers what it saw and heard to the owner when it disappears.) The explanation was displayed. “Oh. It even has a unique skill?” Sejun said. The Son of Darkness skill meant that its abilities increased by 20% at night. “Hmm.” I should have them carry luggage for now. The shadow minions didn't have farming or cooking skills, so it was ambiguous to entrust them with farming or cooking. “Sejun numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, help the mushroom ants carry the crops to the storage.” Nod. As the shadow minions who received Sejun's instructions moved, Sejun also checked the newly acquired epithet. >Epithet: One Who Commands Gods< -The god facing you shrinks. “The god who faces me shrinks?” Sejun asked. It's good, but I'm not particularly happy about it. Even if the gods shrink when they see him, he would die if he saw a god. Sejun, who had already gained plenty of practical experience, was not easily fooled. Having checked the newly acquired power and epithet, “How much time is left until the competition?” Sejun asked. He went to the altar to check the time. [Time Remaining for Application – 29 minutes 34 seconds] [Current Number of Applicants] -Black Tower 99th Floor: 301,887 -Black Tower 4th Floor: 55,214 -Silver Tower 82nd Floor: 113,313,191 The number of participants in the Silver Tower exceeded 100 million again. “Why are there so many participants here?” Sejun asked. It was too many. Does the Silver Tower have a huge population? Sejun didn't realize that all the residents of the tower would be gathered on one floor. Hehehe. Then I can hire a lot of employees? He was a little more inclined to go to the Silver Tower. At that moment, -Sejun, some Samyangju… Huh?! Sejun, why do I feel divine blood from your body?! Kellion, who had come to buy Samyangju to comfort Kaiser, who was depressed after being banished by Eileen, saw Sejun and asked in an angry voice. “Yes? That’s…” Sejun started to explain, -Dark, you son of a b*tch! What did you do to our Sejun?! -Sejun, are you okay?! -Dark, I won't let you get away with this if I catch you! Kaiser, Lamter, and Tier, hearing Kellion's voice, hurriedly flew over to check on Sejun. They were worried about the collision between the dragon bones and divine blood in Sejun's body. However, -Huh?! He's fine? -What is this that's preventing the collision of power? They discovered Kkamang's core in Sejun's body and were relieved. -It's a relief, but… does our Sejun become a hybrid now? -That's right. A hybrid is a hybrid… “A hybrid?! Please call me Hybrid Sejun!” Sejun exclaimed, annoyed at the dragons' words.
