Chapter 337
Chapter 337
Ugh.
The cube that Geomwoo is targeting, there are a total of 10.
The extraterrestrial viewers watching this showed signs of unease.
- What is that?
- Isn't that the sword that found the remnants of the Small Sun earlier...?
- Could it be that it has the ability to explore?
- Well, even if it has the ability to explore, how can it find something valid in the cube managed by the arena?
- Yeah, even if we consider 5% as valid, we would have to target 50, but in the end, we're only targeting 10.
- Even if it's only 10, if we don't catch a dud, it's a big win...
The viewers who didn't bet on Sung JiHan in the final match lost their money.
They were all hoping that Sung JiHan would choose a dud.
But...
"Oh... to avoid all the duds, that's impressive."
The owner of the arena said, seemingly amazed.
- Aaah!!
- What the hell is this kid?
- He even has the ability to explore...
- He's doing everything by himself, seriously...
- If that's the case, just pick the worst one out of the 10, please...
Now they were just hoping for him to pick something bad.
But there was one point that they were concerned about.
- But there seems to be a side that Geomwoo is targeting more, maybe that's the good one...?
- Yeah, dozens of swords are focused on 3...
- Wow, even among the valid ones...
- Then he must be getting rewards every time he appears in the arena? That's crazy!
It seemed that Geomwoo's concentration on the swords indicated that he had found something good.
And...
As they expected, Sung JiHan reached out his hand towards the cube that Geomwoo was pointing at the most.
And then...
Sparkle!
A bright light burst out of the cube.
And what appeared was a brilliantly shining gem.
"We have unlocked legendary rewards from the arena's cube."
"You will receive a special reward, 'Species Evolution Bonus'."
"The 'Affinity for All Attributes' opened by humanity will increase by +1."
- Legendary... rewards?
- No, no. Wait a minute. It says the affinity for all attributes will increase by +1... Did such a crazy reward exist?
- Maybe it's because there aren't many attribute categories opened by the human race... Maybe that's why...
- With just that, we can escape the lowest rank, right? That race...
My affinity for all attributes +1.
Although it was based on the premise that it only applied to what humanity had opened, the rewards were at a level that even the extraterrestrial race, who had been living in the Battle Net for a long time, had never seen before.
- Oh. Affinity for all attributes, wow.
- But it might be a bit disappointing for ordinary people...
- No, ordinary people also benefit enough. After receiving +1 in the Brain attribute, many people received gifts related to lightning abilities.
- If the affinity for all attributes is +1, the probability of receiving gifts in all areas will increase... Wow.
- Wow, really? That's a crazy reward, lol.
- Judging from how disappointed the extraterrestrial beings are, we're definitely benefiting no matter what, lol.
And...
Shuuuu...!
As the affinity for all attributes increased, the sword that Sung JiHan had drawn became even sharper.
And dozens more swords came out of Geomwoo.
Since the affinity for all attributes includes the numerical attribute as well.
It was immediately applied to Sung JiHan, who was currently using martial arts.
"Is it about 10% stronger? This has an incredible effect."
"If that's the case, then all other martial arts will become stronger too."
"Up by +1."
"It's definitely noticeable."
When Sung JiHan was thinking like that.
"It's because humanity is the lowest race that such compensation was given. Before evolving to a lower level, you can think of it as the last gift."
"Is that so?"
"Yes. Since my attribute has increased by +1, I can't stay at the lowest level."
The owner of the arena said that the race would soon evolve.
"Escaping from the lowest level of humanity?"
"Is +1 attribute really that powerful?"
"I still feel like humanity is the lowest among the space monsters... lol"
"If it's a lower race, would it be equivalent to an orc?"
"I compared it to that pig head before, right?"
"No, if we only consider physical abilities, we would have been left behind, lol"
In response to the reaction of humanity viewers who said they couldn't feel the grade going up yet.
Sung JiHan felt the same way.
"I guess I don't hear the lowest level anymore. It had its merits, but it's a shame."
Although they were ignored in the Battle.net world because they were the lowest race.
That's why humanity had a clearer reason to be on guard.
Now that they would rise to a lower level, the restraint on alien races would surely be stronger than before.
"I should escape from Battle.net as soon as possible."
While Sung JiHan was thinking like that, he asked the owner of the arena.
"Then, if the race evolves, will the rewards change too?"
"That's right. The rewards from the cube are given according to the race. But it's strange. It should have changed by now... Haven't you evolved yet?"
"I haven't? Is there a delay or something?"
"Really? There's no delay in the process of Battle.net... "
The owner of the arena was puzzled by humanity, who received +1 attribute but did not evolve.
"Isn't humanity a race... Isn't it a race that's at the bottom even among the lowest? How can the attribute increase by +1 and not evolve?"
"Maybe the opened attributes are limited?"
"No matter what... Sung JiHan's swordsmanship definitely became stronger. Even if it's just 10% of the minimum power."
"Well... Even if you're at the bottom of the lowest level, you might not be able to rise to the lower level."
"...How did such a guy appear in that race?"
The alien viewers interpreted it as humanity not evolving because their level was the lowest among the lowest.
"Then, choose the remaining rewards before the race evolves."
"Got it."
Staying as the lowest race, the rewards that don't change.
Sung JiHan looked at the reduced number of targets, which was 9, when he saw the number of cubes aimed at by the sword.
"I guess I'll choose that."
Then he opened the cube with the most swords aimed at it.
And the revealed reward.
"The rewards of the arena cube have been upgraded to legendary grade."
"You receive the EX-grade item, 'Divine Throne Construction Kit'."
"Divine Throne Construction Kit lolololol"
"This is hilarious lol"
"Oh no, I was scared of what I would eat again lol"
Upon seeing this, the alien races cheered louder than ever since the start of the finals.
***
Divine Throne Construction Kit.
When Sung JiHan saw this name, he furrowed his brows.
"Divine Throne... Now even construction kits are EX-grade?"
He remembered being disappointed when he heard that the Brain God gave out EX-grade rewards.
After receiving the skill called Divine Throne Summoning, he was disappointed.
The Divine Throne, which can be summoned for 3 hours once a month.
The seated player was given an increase in level limit and void absorption limit.
Sung JiHan, who enjoyed this effect with his family sitting together every month.
"Honestly, it wasn't an EX grade. This."
It was a disappointing skill to give a grade other than EX.
But this time, is the construction kit also EX?
"A new item called the Divine Seat Construction Kit has appeared. This item is undervalued compared to its potential and should be considered legendary."
"Ha. Yeah......"
It was good that Geomwoo found a legendary grade reward for him.
But the contents turned out to be a dud.
Sung JiHan noticed that the aliens were chatting excitedly.
- Ah, even at the last minute, it feels good. The worst item among the EX.
- But if you put it up for auction, the gods will buy it at a high price.
- How much is the transaction amount?
- The recent transaction amount is 3 trillion.
- 3 trillion... Still expensive.
- No, I got a choice instead of 5 trillion, but in the end, it's a loss of 2 trillion!
"I guess I'll be satisfied with 3 trillion."
Still, EX is EX, and the GP value is worth 3 trillion.
Rather than thinking of it as a loss of 2 trillion, Sung JiHan decided to look at the situation positively, thinking that he earned 3 trillion.
He looked at the Divine Seat Construction Kit in his hand.
At first, the Divine Seat Construction Kit was just a cluster of light, but it had transformed into a white hammer that fit perfectly in a person's hand.
"It looks like a hammer..."
"Because it's an EX-grade item, it changes to suit the race."
"Yeah... But why do the gods buy something like this? They already have divine seats, don't they?"
Sung JiHan muttered based on the contents he saw in the chat window.
"The Divine Seat Construction Kit is not only used to create divine seats, but also to upgrade them."
"Upgrade..."
"Yes. In order for the gods to maintain their positions, they need to constantly maintain and improve their divine seats."
Divine Seat upgrade.
Sung JiHan showed interest in those words.
"Then, does this hammer work on any divine seat?"
"Yes, it does."
If that's the case, can he use this kit on the divine seat he summoned with the Divine Seat Summoning skill?
"I should try it out."
He had enough GP from the recent arena battle.
Sung JiHan made up his mind to use the Divine Seat Construction Kit on the EX skill that felt like a gamble.
"Then, we will conclude the award ceremony."
After the award ceremony ended like that.
"You have won in the Space Arena."
"Your level has increased to 20."
"You have cleared the special achievement, 'Space Arena Victory - Master'."
"You gain 5000 Divine Seat Reputation."
"A level 20 promotion... The Grand Master promotion is just around the corner."
Sung JiHan logged out of the arena while checking the final reward.
***
The Star of the Godless, filled with stars.
There, a great cataclysm was taking place.
Kururur...!
The earth melted, and flames began to explode from within.
It reached the Divine Seats, which had existed like stars in the sky, and burned them all.
And there was someone watching this scene from the shattered tower.
"Dongbangsak, was there a volcano here?"
"...No, this is the first time I've seen such a phenomenon too."
It was Gilgamesh and Dongbangsak, who was monitoring him.
"It's strange that the third sealed deity happened to be the one that exploded."
"......"
"And our master, who should be asleep, is also working hard to prevent the volcanic eruption."
Crack...!
A giant hand emerged from the sky.
It directly blocked the flames rising from the crack.
"...Truly annoying. It is not yet time for you to awaken, third deity."
The voice of the deity spread through the sky in a low tone.
Within it, there was frustration about the current situation.
And after a long time passed.
Shooo...!
The flames that were engulfing the deity's hand were eventually extinguished and subdued.
"You should continue to sleep a little longer... Gilgamesh. Don't wander around anymore."
"Yes. Yes."
After blocking the fire, the deity disappeared while giving a warning to Gilgamesh.
"Hehe. It's fascinating. I never thought the deity would suffer so much for the third one. Dong Bangsak, have you ever seen such a scene?"
"...No, never."
Gilgamesh's gaze towards Dong Bangsak's wife turned cold.
"Yes. The deity does not deserve to be pushed back by its own servant like that. But to spend such a long time extinguishing those flames..."
"..."
"Is the third deity really Ashoka?"
The true identity of the third deity, Ashoka the Great from India.
Although he had achieved significant accomplishments among the many heroes born from humanity.
He did not possess enough 'power' to resist the deity to that extent.
"Originally, it was said that the third deity was Ashoka."
"That's what I heard from the deity. But how can I believe those words when I saw such a scene in front of me?"
"Then what do you want to say?"
"Shall we find out the true identity of the third deity together?"
"I refuse."
Swoosh.
"I am only following the orders of my master. And my given mission is to watch over you. Don't do anything unnecessary."
"You're a boring guy."
Gilgamesh expected such a reaction.
He smirked and said, "Hmm..."
Suddenly, he blinked his eyes a few times.
"Why are you doing that?"
"...?"
"The power of the human race has become stronger."
"Is that so... I'm not sure. It's already at the extreme level."
Gilgamesh, who stroked his beard, expressed that he had reached his limit.
It would sound arrogant to others, but...
"...What a monster. It's amazing how such a person emerged among humans."
Gilgamesh knew that his words were not empty.
And the two of them looked around at humanity and quickly grasped the situation.
"Sung JiHan received a reward for winning in the arena."
"Sung JiHan..."
Gilgamesh's eyes flashed as he watched the footage of Sung JiHan's match.
"When the volcano erupted in the Tooseng, Sung JiHan was also in a difficult situation... Hm. Is all of this just a coincidence?"
"...Don't wander around, Gilgamesh. Don't forget the orders of our master."
At Dong Bangsak's warning,
"Of course..."
Gilgamesh raised one corner of his mouth and nodded his head.
