Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 368

372. I Raided the Demon God’s Warehouse

– That beast…….

Luin, upon hearing Seun’s command, didn’t immediately start chewing on the giant’s skin.

Although the command was simply to swallow, Luin, born from Seun’s stigma [a mark or brand signifying divine favor or a supernatural connection], perfectly understood Seun’s intentions.

– Grrr…….

Divinity flowed rapidly from the stigma like water.

The more it did, the more Luin’s size grew to an astonishing degree.

It instantly surpassed the size of a house, but Luin still seemed dissatisfied, whimpering lowly.

‘This doesn’t seem like it will work.’

No matter how much Luin grew, there was a limit.

Because the giant’s size was so enormous, it didn’t seem possible to eat it simply by growing larger.

Moreover, Seun couldn’t use his divinity to make Luin as large as the giant.

– A great power indeed. However, greed invites disaster. Even as it is now, it will be of great help.

The Afterimage, also reading Seun’s thoughts, shook his head and dissuaded him.

“Can I come again next time?”

– That is not possible. Even I do not have infinite power, so the opportunity to reveal the Great One is only once.

“Then, I have to end it now.”

The opportunity is only once.

That ended the discussion.

Sensing Seun’s will, Luin let out a powerful howl and began to transform into a new form.

Swish-

Abandoning the form of a wolf, the beast spread out like mist.

The dense, dark crimson mist, having abandoned its form, became incomparably larger than the wolf’s appearance.

Just as Seun’s divinity was about to run out.

– This is…….

The dark crimson mist filled the field of vision, surpassing the altar and reaching a size comparable to the giant.

Even if the size was somewhat matched, it was meaningless on its own.

The dark crimson mist wriggled and recreated the shape of a wolf’s maw.

Crunch!

The wolf’s maw made of dark crimson mist.

Its sharp fangs bit into the giant’s side.

Just as Seun thought this might be possible, he soon realized the problem with this method.

‘It’s weak.’

Because he focused on size to swallow the giant, Luin’s biting force was extremely weakened.

In fact, it was only natural.

The absurd task of swallowing a Constellation-level [a being of immense power and influence, often associated with stars or cosmic entities] giant was impossible even for the same Constellation.

There was no way Seun’s still weak divinity could reproduce that.

“Swallow it.”

Therefore, he changed the method.

Sensing Seun’s will, Luin opened its mouth wide like a snake, giving up on biting and swallowing the giant whole.

The giant’s immense size and overwhelming presence made the dark crimson mist thin as if it would scatter at any moment.

He wanted to swallow the giant whole as it was, but he had no choice but to realize that it was impossible for now.

At that moment, support came from a completely unexpected place.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ deeply sympathizes with the wolf’s enormous appetite.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is frustrated by the wolf’s inability to swallow the prey it holds in its mouth.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ is restless, feeling that he would be upset if the prey were spat out like this.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ after much deliberation, lends the wolf the ‘Molar of Gluttony.’

The teeth of Luin, who was holding the giant, were dyed yellow, representing Beelzebub’s divinity [divine power or essence]. Not a beautiful yellow like forsythia [a vibrant yellow flowering shrub], but a deep yellow that looked somehow dangerous.

Along with that.

Crunch!

The giant’s skin, which had been caught on Luin’s teeth, was pierced for the first time.

The part where the teeth were created was not just the teeth part.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ expresses frustration, urging to swallow it quickly.

In Luin’s palate, dozens, hundreds of molars appeared, just like when Seun used the power of gluttony, grinding the giant’s skin.

Naturally, the overwhelming presence emanating from the giant decreased, and Luin began to gulp.

– This can’t be…… To the Great One…… Really…….

The giant’s body in the dark crimson mist gradually became blurred.

The sunlight that the giant had been blocking seeped through the mist, scattering dark crimson light throughout the 51st floor.

Indeed, Beelzebub’s power.

When it came to ‘eating,’ his power possessed strength that could not be compared to any other Constellation.

Just as the gruesome sound of the giant’s body being crushed made his ears feel numb.

Gulp.

– Grrr…….

Luin completely swallowed the giant’s body.

The giant’s corpse was no longer visible between the wolf’s head made of dark crimson mist.

– The Constellation, ‘Crow Bowing its Head,’ is in shock.

– The Constellation, ‘Hungry Prince,’ feels relieved.

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing the Season,’ urgently warns you.

‘Warning?’

Just as he didn’t understand what Leviathan meant, Luin, having completed his mission, returned to Seun’s stigma.

The scene of the dark crimson mist, which had completely surrounded the altar, rushing towards the stigma in an instant created a rather mystical atmosphere.

However, Seun couldn’t help but groan at the hot pain that followed.

“Kugh……!”

How should I describe this?

The feeling of branding the back of his hand with a hot iron?

No, it’s different from that. It’s the feeling of something huge forcibly squeezing through a narrow passage.

The passage is torn and collapses, and the pain is felt directly by Seun.

It didn’t take long to realize the identity of the pain.

‘Is the giant not fully digested?’

Thinking about it, it was only natural.

With the help of Beelzebub’s power, he was able to swallow it somehow, but it was impossible to digest a Constellation with such a high level that even the Demon Gods would be surprised at once.

The giant was merely compressed in form and inside Luin’s stomach. It would probably take an incredibly long time for it to be digested.

Since Luin, with the giant in his stomach, was returning to the stigma, it was only natural to feel this pain.

‘Should I discard some of it?’

If the stigma is a passage, then the end of the passage naturally means the level of the soul, which can be called a vessel.

If it’s blocked from here, if he forcibly puts it in, his soul might burst because it can’t handle the level.

He had a hard time swallowing the giant, but Seun knew how to abandon arrogance.

And then, new support came.

– The Constellation, ‘Crow Bowing its Head,’ shakes its head at your outrageous greed, yet feels sympathy.

– The Constellation, ‘Crow Bowing its Head,’ declares that it cannot tolerate the one it watches abandoning the spoils that have already returned to its grasp.

– The Constellation, ‘Crow Bowing its Head,’ bestows divinity upon you.

Purple energy pouring from Seun’s right side.

When a player receives divinity from a Constellation and is appointed as an Apostle [a chosen follower or messenger of a divine being], they naturally get one step closer to the Constellation they follow.

In other words, it can also be explained that the player’s level is getting closer to the Constellation.

Similarly, Seun’s level itself was elevated by the divinity he received from Mammon.

The help coming to Seun didn’t end there.

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing the Season,’ worries about you, telling you not to overdo it next time.

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing the Season,’ wants even a small amount of power to be of help, although its level has not yet recovered and is weak.

– The Constellation, ‘Serpent Enclosing the Season,’ bestows divinity upon you.

Blue energy pouring from Seun’s left side.

He could feel Leviathan’s divinity dwelling in Seun’s soul.

It was the first time he had formally received divinity, so he felt a little strange. He understood why the Apostles clung to their Constellations so much.

Because this sense of fulfillment was more thrilling and refreshing than any pleasure from games.

– The Constellation, ‘Sleeping Goat,’ yawns, saying it would be a problem if you died already.

– The Constellation, ‘Sleeping Goat,’ bestows divinity upon you.

Lastly, Belphegor’s unique cyan divinity descended.

As the three divinities were engraved in his soul, Seun’s level grew to an astonishing degree in an instant.

He had already easily surpassed the amount of divinity possessed by most Apostles.

The stigma, which had seemed about to burst just a moment ago, began to absorb the hesitant dark crimson mist.

‘It’s possible now.’

Even with so much help, he didn’t feel relaxed. However, he didn’t feel that it was impossible either.

It was precarious, but he felt that he could absorb the giant’s level now.

To be precise, it was more of a temporary storage than absorption.

– Grrr…….

Just before the dark crimson mist was completely absorbed into the stigma, Luin’s voice, filled with complex emotions, was heard.

It seemed to be a mixture of satisfaction from being full, regret from not being able to digest it, and discomfort from feeling bloated.

With that as the last, the dark crimson mist that filled the altar, holding the giant, all dwelled in Seun’s stigma.

“Hoo…….”

There was no room to spare.

With the help of the three Demon Gods…… no, with the help of Beelzebub, he had received the help of four Demon Gods, but it was still just barely enough.

If divinity was compared to water, it felt like the vessel would overflow if even one more drop was added here.

In the meantime, the level of the giant, which had not yet been digested, was clearly felt.

Although he had absorbed all of the giant, it was not over yet.

‘To unleash its full power, I have to digest this power.’

A very small part had already been digested.

However, the digested part was literally a very small part, less than 1%.

He didn’t know if time could solve this, but it was clear that he had to find a way to fully digest this power somehow.

If, just if, he could perfectly absorb this power without wasting it…….

‘Constellation.’

He might be able to reach the realm of God, which he had always looked up to.

– Ah, really…….

Just as he was staring at the stigma that was still emitting dark crimson light, he heard the Afterimage’s sobbing voice from the side.

He didn’t know what the relationship between the Afterimage and the giant was, but the reaction was quite intense.

It was blurry and not clearly visible, but it was as if he was watching someone sending off a loved one.

– You have suffered. You have really suffered. Even in death, you have finally achieved the wish you could not achieve for so long. Finally…….

Rumble rumble rumble-

A strong vibration was felt from below his feet. The altar was sinking into the wilderness below, scattering thick dust.

Along with that, the Afterimage’s already blurry body was becoming even more blurry.

– Are you happy? You must be happy. You have met true death, so you have fallen into the ‘cycle’ that you so desired. You must be happy.

The Afterimage and the giant.

What was their relationship?

At first, he didn’t have any thoughts, but as he watched the Afterimage’s reaction, he suddenly became curious about their relationship.

For some reason, the giant’s corpse, which was submerged in the stigma, seemed to be emitting a faint energy in response to the Afterimage’s reaction.

– Now, I will follow too. Great One. To the place where your death has arrived. Into the cycle you desired. I will follow too.

The Afterimage’s body, which had become as blurry as it could be, fluttered like ashes and flowed into Seun’s stigma.

It was absolutely impossible for something to enter the stigma unless Seun allowed it, but for some reason, the stigma felt like it was allowing the Afterimage’s entry.

Just as the Afterimage disappeared completely and the altar sank completely beneath the wilderness.

“Ggrrr…….”

“Ggrrrrr…….”

“Kkyaaaa-!”

All the undead in the wilderness began to wail, making sounds different from usual.
