TL: Hanguk
Outskirts of Destruction.
A crimson-red eye, forced wide open by four black fingers gripping the Black Moon door, rolled wildly as it scanned the outside.
And then,
“What have you two done?!”
After grasping the situation outside, Destruction angrily shouted at Jǫrmungandr and Hydra.
It was no wonder. Destruction only had two Apostles left, and the remaining forces consisted of just one ogre and two planet-destroying turtles.
“I’ll kill you!”
Crunch.
Consumed by rage, Destruction thrust its arm into the Black Moon door all the way to its elbow, reaching for Jǫrmungandr and Hydra.
It intended to grab and kill them.
But the already-wide Black Moon door wouldn’t open any further, and Destruction’s thick arm couldn’t easily push forward.
“Arrgh! I’ll kill you!”
While Destruction lost its reason and struggled to shove its arm through the Black Moon,
......
......
Jǫrmungandr and Hydra could do nothing but tremble. Their minds went blank, and the thought of running away didn’t even occur to them.
For the first time, they understood why their prey hadn’t run away when faced with them.
An entity crushed by overwhelming power and fear was utterly helpless.
As they waited motionlessly, resigned to their fate at Destruction’s hands, Destruction’s massive, grotesque black hand approached them.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The hand came within just five meters of them when,
It halted.
Destruction’s hand stopped. No, it could no longer advance.
The size of the Black Moon door had a limit, and no matter how much force Destruction applied, it couldn’t push its arm in any further.
It was a stroke of tremendous luck. The short five-meter distance was what saved Jǫrmungandr and Hydra.
Crunch.
Destruction pulled its arm back.
“This is your last chance.”
Regaining some of its composure, Destruction moved away from the Black Moon door and left these parting words. The Black Moon door soon closed.
“Whew. We survived.”
Hydra exhaled in relief.
At that moment,
Chomp.
Jǫrmungandr opened its mouth wide and bit down on Hydra’s five heads.
“Jǫrmungandr... nim?”
You’re not serious, right?
Hydra’s remaining four heads turned toward Jǫrmungandr with a shocked expression.
But,
“Hydra, I’m sorry. But I need to survive.”
“You bastard! You-”
Crunch.
Jǫrmungandr opened its mouth even wider and swallowed Hydra’s remaining heads as they tried to resist.
Jǫrmungandr, the world-devouring serpent and 3rd seat of the Apostle of Destruction.
It had the Power of ‘Infinite Appetite’ that could devour anything and make the power of what it devoured its own.
On top of that, it had another power,
Until now, it had restrained itself out of fear of being killed by its comrades or Destruction. But this was no time for such concerns.
A short while later,
Gulp.
Jǫrmungandr completely swallowed Hydra, head and body alike.
“I should have done this sooner.”
Licking its lips, Jǫrmungandr savored the satisfaction of absorbing the power from Hydra’s body.
And then,
“Just wait a little. I’ll finish you all off.”
It grinned wickedly at
***
34th Floor of the Brown Tower.
“Puhuhut. Let’s head back to the treasure vault, meow!”
“Yes!”
At Theo’s words, Ganess enthusiastically took the lead.
Terrifying yellow demon... It must have calculated everything, even my attempt to escape.
Ganess shuddered inwardly at Theo’s cunning, convinced he had anticipated his movements and had laid a trap while waiting.
As they approached the hideout of the Brown Demon Gang,
“Where is it?! Find that thieving cat bastard who stole the treasure, now!”
A furious shout echoed from the hideout.
The boss of the Brown Demon Gang, Rugal, was enraged at the robbery of their treasure vault and was furiously berating his subordinates.
And then,
“Meow?! Did you just call me, the right hand man of the great Chairman Park, Vice Chairman Theo, a cat bastard?!”
Are you looking down on our Chairman Park?!
Thwack.
Theo, upset at such a strange point, struck Rugal on the back of his head, forcing him into silence.
While Rugal was unconscious,
“Cuengi, let’s pack up the treasure.”
Kueng!
[Got it!]
“Ganess, by the way, where’s the best place to do business on the 34th floor of the Tower?”
Sejun asked Ganess for information about the 34th floor. Treasures were great, but he needed to do business to keep earning money afterward.
“Hmm... there’s a village called ‘Wegil’ to the west. It’s the most active commercial hub on the 34th floor.”
“Wegil Village.”
Sejun repeated the name to commit it to memory.
“Oh, and when you head to Wegil Village, you’ll come across areas with red ground. Those are quicksand. Don’t try to cross them; go around.”
Ganess warned him about the quicksand along the way.
At that moment,
Twitch.
“Meow?!”
Theo, who had been grooming himself enthusiastically while clinging to Sejun’s knee, suddenly had his ears perk up involuntarily.
“Ganess, say that again, meow!”
Theo, sensing something, urged Ganess to repeat himself.
“Huh?! Again? Oh, um... I was saying, when you go to Wegil Village, you should avoid the quicksand...”
Ganess repeated his earlier words.
Twitch.
104.28.193.250
Again, Theo’s ears perked up involuntarily.
And then,
Puhuhut. It feels similar to a pull, meow!
Theo realized what was happening.
He had developed a new ability, a Twitch Radar that responded to clues about places he was drawn to based on the information he heard.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, we need to go to the quicksand, meow!”
“Quicksand?”
Twitch.
“That’s right, meow! My ears keep reacting every time I hear the word quicksand, meow!”
“Got it.”
If Theo said so, Sejun trusted Theo’s words without hesitation.
No. I absolutely won’t believe you when you say my face is ugly!
Sejun trusted Theo about almost everything else.
After completely looting both the treasure vault and a smaller stash Ganess had pointed out, they headed toward Wegil Village, where the quicksand was said to be.
“This must be it.”
Sejun looked at the patches of red ground, large and small, and spoke.
And then,
Whoosh.
He picked up a stone nearby and tossed it onto the red ground.
Sink...
The stone sank slowly.
It was definitely quicksand.
And then,
“Puhuhut. Great hybrid Chairman Park, my front paws are being pulled, meow!”
Even Theo’s front paws were being drawn downward, as if magnetized.
A moment later,
Kueng!
[Dad, I found it!]
Boom!
The 100-meter-tall, gigantified Cuengi dug up the quicksand with his massive front paw and pulled out a gray stone tablet, placing it on the ground.
[Creator God’s Tablet.]
The Creator God’s Tablet, buried within the Brown Tower, had finally revealed itself.
“Cuengi, great job finding the tablet! Vice Chairman Theo, you did great figuring this out too!”
“Puhuhut. Of course, meow! I worked hard, meow!”
Kueng!
When Park Sejun praised Theo and Cuengi for discovering the Creator God’s Tablet,
Kking?!
[Butler! What about me?!]
Blackie barked fiercely, demanding praise for himself too.
“Alright, Blackie, you’ve done a great job of eating well and sleeping well, looking cute as always.”
Sejun, despite having nothing specific to praise Blackie for, found a way to compliment him in his own way.
Kihihit.
Blackie was very happy.
And then,
Kihihit. Kking?! Kking!
[Hehe! Hey, everyone, did you hear what the butler said?! From now on, eat even better and sleep even more!]
“Yes!”
Kkiruk!
Sharalarang!
...
..
.
Thus, the Blackie family resolved to become even lazier.
