Episode 235
God’s Way (4)
First, Jeong-do placed the people he was carrying around on the living room floor. There was no sign of them waking up yet. It seemed as if all the accumulated fatigue had exploded all at once and completely stretched out.
“hmm.”
Jijijijik.
Jeongdo stroked his chin once while looking at the crack crackling in front of his nose. It was definitely a dwarven dungeon.
Sometimes this happened. If they come to you first even if you don’t call them. Usually, in cases like this, the dwarves’ eyes turn upside down because you have obtained a great treasure, such as a god’s metal… … Did you get something like that in this heaven?
‘Oh, I guess that’s it.’
Now that I think about it, I got it.
I also hit the jackpot and got one. The degree reminded him of the giant spear sleeping in his inventory.
Seong Gwang-chang Brunak.
Transcendent God. It is also a weapon used by the god of Celtic mythology. With this weapon, it wasn’t that strange that the dwarves’ eyes turned upside down.
Jijijijik.
A crack that makes you fuss as if asking you to come in. However, Jeongdo did not head straight to the dwarves’ dungeon. Although there was definitely a desire to respond to their affectionate feelings.
‘I’m tired.’
I really felt like I was going to die.
My whole body was creaking and telling me to rest immediately. It’s not that we didn’t, but we really overdid it on this expedition. Number one among all expeditions he has experienced so far. It made me wonder if there would ever be another time in my life where I would have to force a march like this.
A continuous struggle against the strong that could end if one slips up even for a moment. I couldn’t let go of the tension until the very end. Just surviving each day in heaven without doing anything drained my mental power.
It was the same not only mentally but also physically. <Transcendent Regeneration> and elf tears could restore wounds and mana, but they did not eliminate fatigue.
My whole body creaks.
My brain was telling me to jump into bed! Jeongdo glanced at the dungeon crack once again.
It was a place that gave me many gifts, but I am not going there now. You are not some kind of robot, so shouldn’t you rest when you need to rest? Anyway, making weapons isn’t an urgent task.
‘But before that, I need to finish one thing.’
To some extent, I endured the drowsiness that poured in with superhuman patience. This is really the last time. The degree opened the status window.
Tiring.
Hades information appeared in the status window. The battle was over, but like Lucifer, Hades seemed determined to hold on until he felt like it. Are all transcendental beings like this?
‘But I’m glad I’m here now.’
Aside from the road reward, he still had one more thing left to gain.
‘I never thought I would achieve <status> like this.’
Like the ‘Miracle of the Beginning’, a type in which special conditions are attached to acquiring talent.
This may have been the reason why I could not obtain <Shinwi> even though I had obtained all other talents as road rewards.
<God is a being who is revered. That’s why you have to be immortal. Who would fear and support a god who is dying at random times due to the limited lifespan given to him?>
“So that means that ‘immortality’ is a condition for becoming a god.”
<To be precise, it is the minimum condition. Not all immortal beings are gods. If a god just doesn’t die, then a skeleton is also a god. An immortal being can only become a god if he or she achieves the karma of cutting bones.>
“It seems difficult just to listen to it… … is there any other way?”
<In addition, there are cases where humans who have accomplished great feats are revered after death and are reborn as gods, or a deity at the level of a main deity may directly turn them into gods. However, in this case, it ends up as a low-class god at best. If you really want to reach great heights, you have to do it yourself.>
An immortal being.
Jeongdo pondered Hades’ words and repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fists. For some reason, it didn’t feel real. It seems like nothing has changed, but you have become immortal. The talent called <Sinwi> felt awkward.
‘But it was awkward.’
You have to take what you get. This is something I got by chance. When Hades is loaded, go to level 3 at once!
Jeong Do opened the status window and changed the ‘Talent Synchronization’ function to On.
Tiring.
<Talent <Communication-lv.4> is activated. Detects the user’s talent <Xinwi-lv.1>. <Communication> recognizes Hades’ talent <Shinwi-lv.3>.>
<Synchronization will begin immediately.>
“uh?”
Is something strange?
Have you ever heard the word ‘immediately’?
‘… … ‘No?’
No matter how much I think about it, the word ‘immediately’ has never appeared in any of the synchronizations that have occurred up to this point.
Usually, the word stabilization work in progress appears in parentheses after the level 3 sign… … Oh, damn it.
As my thoughts reached that point, I couldn’t help but swear. It was because I understood why the word “immediately” appeared.
Jeong Do raised his right hand and touched the area around the nape of his neck. Nothing could be touched. That was the cause of this sad month.
Talent Stabilization Necklace.
This is the very necklace that was violently torn off in order to immediately obtain <Annihilation> when fighting Takujin in the heavens!
The holder part was broken, so I put it in my inventory for a while until I had to fix it, but I forgot about it.
And the price for that blink came in an instant.
“Aaaah!”
As the talent began to force itself into place, the body began to disintegrate. Damn it! It was such a surprise event that I didn’t even have time to take out the gag and put it in my mouth.
‘Well, it’s still more bearable than I thought?’
Is it because I once felt the extraordinary pain of <annihilation>? It was surprisingly bearable. Since I had +1 enhanced <Patience>, it seemed like I wouldn’t have to die just by getting a talent unless I was at the Miracle of the Beginning level.
However, the problem with the current situation is that you are extremely exhausted. In addition, there is a rebound of <Dragon Blood Awakening> that was activated from the Tower of the Heavenly God! Jeong Do had a premonition of his own fate.
‘I’m going to faint… … .’
Slurp.
I collapsed on the soft bed.
In the quiet room, only the dwarves’ dungeon crackled painfully.
* * * * * *
“Oh, I slept well.”

Grumbling.
Jeongdo stood up and stretched his neck from side to side. As expected, there was no damage at all. It still hurt a lot, but at this level, I didn’t think I needed to wear the necklace anymore.
I checked my watch and realized that about three hours had passed since I passed out. It wasn’t a very long time, but that alone relieved my fatigue considerably.
Jijijijijik!
Jijijijijiji!
“… … “This is still there.”
The dungeon crack was still in the room. No, he suddenly started crackling furiously, as if he was just waiting for him to wake up.
But the degree didn’t move right away. I endured pain that made me faint, but shouldn’t I see the results?
Jeong Do opened the status window and checked the talent. Now there is definitely a big and beautiful talent <Sinwi-lv.3> there… … .
“Why level 2!”
Jeongdo screamed loudly. why?
I’ve never had anything like that before, but did I suddenly fail? No, then it would have to be level 1? What does the vague 2, which is neither 1 nor 3, mean?
When I was confused, I heard the pitiful voice of Hades in my head.
<The human race is a bit greedy. You’re one more drink away. The phenomenon of rising talent levels itself is ridiculous. Are you not satisfied with being level 2 and yelling that you are not level 3? Does the world seem so easy?>
“… … .”
So far so good!
I wanted to shout, but I held back because I felt like I would be truly despised if I said that. Hades calmly continued his explanation.
<It’s not as good as the miracle of the beginning, but the guy named <Xinwi> is also special. Even with your synchronization or something, it’s not something that can be easily overcome. To be honest, I can’t believe I’ve even reached level 2.>
“… … So, is level 3 impossible unless you’re born with it?”
<No, that’s not true. Most talents are born with them, but a very small number of talents can be acquired later. <Sinwi> is one of them. If she was a human but became a god after death, she acquired <divine status> at that time.>
Right. Now that I think about it, when I loaded Guan Yu, there was definitely <Xinwi-lv.1> among his talents. This is probably the case Hades just mentioned.
“It’s a shame.”
It whetted my appetite.
This damn universe keeps giving endlessly, but at the last moment, it makes a U-turn like this. Hades criticized him for being a man without conscience, but it was still a waste.
Jijijijijik!
“It seems like you’re really in a hurry.”
The dungeon must have realized that its business was now over, as the crackling became more intense. good night. Even though I want it so intensely, I can’t get rid of it. Jeongdo stood up to enter the dungeon.
“But before that, take a shower.”
“Hey! “You damn bastard!”
Suddenly, Jis came out of the dungeon and jumped towards Jeongdo. Then he grabbed Jeongdo’s collar and screamed.
“Is there anything anyone can do to melt away their pet peeves?! “Why is this a push and pull that you never did?”
“uh? Was it possible to get out of the dungeon?”
“You can’t come out! Now I’m pretending to be crazy and preparing for the Geass penalty… … “Aaaah!”
Jis, who could not hold back his anger and was shouting at Jeongdo, suddenly convulsed and rolled around. Ah, I thought I had seen this somewhere before, but it was a similar scene to when Lirim, the god of the dwarves, was punishing them.
Jis shouted, glaring at Jeong-do as his whole body convulsed.
… … To be honest, I was very scared.
“tail… please. come. If you don’t come… really. you die me… die. “Kruk.”
At that time, a large hand suddenly came out from a crack in the dungeon and picked up the fallen, convulsing Jis. And then he disappeared into the dungeon with Jis. Jeongdo muttered while looking at the scene in a daze.
“Crazy, how urgent.”
Are you saying you came out knowing that you would end up like that? Dwarves’ passion for rare items was already beyond common sense.
Jeongdo sighed briefly and reached out to the dungeon crack. Immediately after, Jeong-do disappeared from the room.
* * * * * *
As I entered the dungeon, six dwarves welcomed me.
Yes. Six people, not seven. Six dwarves, excluding Jis, welcomed Jeongdo. Jeong Do secretly asked them.
“… … Where is Jis?”
“I’m recuperating. “Thanks to a certain push and pull genius.”
“… … .”
No, why couldn’t they stand it and came out… … .
“greatness. I didn’t do it on purpose, it was because I was very tired. “The heavens are so tight.”
“I understand. Just understand.”
“We never once doubted King God General. “Jis lived so long that he developed dementia for a while.”
“You must never equate us with that guy! know? Our hearts? Hehe.”
It was a very blatant attitude.
It looks like he was waiting at the entrance as soon as he arrived… … I felt like I had to give it to him quickly, even if it was out of gratitude.
“Is there something you want?”
“Yes! It is true! “What you say is truly correct!”
“Keeeeeeek!”
“… … Can’t you like me a little more normally? “Sometimes I’m truly scared.”
Jeongdo got a little fed up and took a step back. Then, he opened his inventory and took out the brightly shining Holy Light Lance Brunak.
It was also a nice window. Plus, it’s an ego item. It is a weapon made of divine metal that he has appraised. It was understandable that the dwarves were anxious about this item.
Jeongdo took out Brunak and shouted triumphantly.
“ruler! This is what you all wanted. Even if you upgrade as you wish… … .”
But the words did not last until the end. This was because the dwarves’ reaction was very cold.
“Calm down.”
“yes?”
“are you kidding? Who wants to see something like that?”
“… … “Something like that?”
Brunac? A favorite disease of the Celtic god Lugh?
Is this the God’s Spear that even the heavenly archangels cherished, saying it was their first time seeing it?
“Is that really valuable? It’s made of god’s metal. “There’s no need to research?”
“That sloppy… … No, of course it’s a good thing. Because even if we try to make it, it’s difficult. But would Jiss have run out of the dungeon like a mad dog in heat just to see that window early?”
To be honest, I thought it might be because that person is always crazy, but… … It seems my guess was wrong.
Brunak wasn’t what the dwarves wanted. So what is it? I don’t remember getting any other items? ah!
“No way, a mask that erases all traces?”
“That’s worse than that window. Stop playing around and take it out now. please. huh? “Do you want to see us go crazy?”
Now the dwarves were almost pleading. But I had no real idea of the extent. Mikhail shouted in frustration.
“The key. key!”
“key?”
“okay! “The key to the warehouse where the legendary treasure hunter hides all his treasures!”
“A place where even the Transcendence God’s attacks and defenses are no match for him!”
“Show me the ‘Key of Treasure’! please!”
“Keeeeeeek!”
“… … her?”
dump.
Suddenly, six dwarves began bowing at the same time toward the temple. Even when I saw Hephaestus, I didn’t go this far.
With a blank expression on his face, Jeong-do took out ‘Takujin’s Key’ from his inventory and waved it from side to side. Accordingly, the dwarves’ heads also shook left and right. Even if you shake a chicken in front of a dog, it won’t be like this.
‘I thought it was awesome, though.’
… … I guess it’s not just a big hit, it’s a huge hit.
Takujin’s key was shining brightly in his hand.
