When consumed it increases +50% potential for strength and stamina and grants <Power: Strength to Support the Sky>.

“All of this is great, but I can’t eat it.”

Upon checking the options of the Lava Bloodstone, Sejun sighed.

[Patrick, the God of Earth, honestly cheers you on, saying that if you just close your eyes tightly and swallow, you can manage to eat that much.]

Patrick was cheering Sejun on.

What do you mean, “Just close my eyes tightly and eat it”? If I do that, I’ll have to keep my eyes closed forever…

[Bev, the God of Courage, is preparing to bestow a new Achievements of Courage, asking if this time you’re showing courage through eating.]

Even Bev-nim…

‘Yeah, I definitely shouldn’t eat this.’

Thanks to Bev, Sejun was now certain that consuming it would be a disaster.

“Block.”

He blocked both of them.

Should I call Zelga and ask him to cool it down? Or maybe ask Ramter…

Kueoeo.

While pondering how to consume the Lava Bloodstone, Sejun fell asleep.

As Sejun fell asleep with his body submerged in the hot spring, (TL: Do not try this at home as sleeping in water is very dangerous, especially for children.)

Gororong.

Kurrorong.

Kirorong.

…

..

.

The other companions, following Sejun’s example, also dozed off in the hot spring.

A little while later…

(Pip-pip. Good night, everyone!)

Paespaes woke up from sleep, said goodnight to everyone, and filled his stomach with fruits from the kitchen.

Then,

(Pip-pip… Paespaes is melting…)

Paespaes joined the group in enjoying the hot spring.

However,

(Pip-pip?! The water is too hot!)

As time passed, the heat from the Lava Bloodstone made the water unbearably hot.

(Pip-pip! If it stays this hot, Sejun-nim will die!)

Splash. Splash.

So Paespaes fetched cold water from the cave pond and poured it into the hot spring.

However,

(Pip-pip?! Now it’s too cold! Sejun-nim will catch a cold at this rate!)

This time, he poured too much cold water, lowering the water temperature too much.

(Pip-pip! I need to raise the temperature! Pip-pip-cha!)

Paespaes created a small crack in the Lava Bloodstone, causing the heat from the lava to escape and warm up the water again.

If the water is too hot, Sejun-nim will die!

If the water is too cold, Sejun-nim will catch a cold!

Paespaes tirelessly adjusted the water temperature throughout the night to ensure Sejun could sleep comfortably.

Kooorrr.

And so, Sejun slept soundly, unaware that Paespaes was working hard to adjust the water temperature for himself, the sunfish.

Sruruk.

In the meantime, the red energy from the Lava Bloodstone seeped into the water and was absorbed by Sejun’s body.

***

The Next Morning.

“…Huh?”

Did I sleep here?

Splash. Splash.

Seeing the water move every time he moved, Sejun realized that he had fallen asleep in the hot spring yesterday.

“What?!”

[You have absorbed the diluted Lava Blood of Landorus, the Earth Giant, which was dissolved in the water and absorbed through your skin.]

[The absorption efficiency has significantly decreased due to skin absorption.]

[Your potential strength and stamina have increased by 3%.]

[You have been granted <Power: Strength to Support a Handful of Sky>.]

These were the messages appearing before Sejun’s eyes.

Absorbed through my skin?

When Sejun touched the Lava Bloodstone that was in the water, it had cooled down to a lukewarm temperature and had turned into a nameless, ordinary stone.

“Sigh…”

From 50% down to 3%… I’m sure the power has diminished by a similar amount.

‘But even if it was absorbed through the skin, isn’t the efficiency too bad?’

While Sejun was staring hopelessly at the stone that had once been the Lava Bloodstone,

“Puhuhut. Finally, this body has gained the same power as the great hybrid Chairman Park, meow!”

Kuehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Cuengi has the same power as Dad, too!]

Theo and Cuengi, who woke up from Sejun’s movements, shouted excitedly.

(Pip-pip… me too…)

Baerorong.

Paespaes, who was just about to fall asleep, also boasted about its power before drifting off.

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

When Sejun, who didn’t understand, asked Theo and Cuengi,

“Puhuhut. I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, also absorbed Landorus’s lava blood along with Chairman Park and gained the same power as Chairman Park, meow! I’m so happy, meow!”

Kueng! Kueng!

[Cuengi too! I’m so happy!]

They both answered while dancing happily.

And then,

Ah. Since we were in the water together…

Sejun realized what had happened. Everyone who had been soaking in the hot spring with him had also absorbed the lava blood of Landorus.

If I had known this would happen, I would’ve just soaked by myself.

As Sejun regretted this missed opportunity,

“Puhuhut. As expected from the great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow! You made the hot spring on purpose to give us power, meow!”

Kueng!

[Dad is amazing!]

Theo and Cuengi praised Sejun.

“Haha. Everything was according to my plan.”

Sejun, full of swagger, basked in their praise.

Ah, I should check the power.

Only then did he check the power he had gained.

<Power: Strength to Support a Handful of Sky>

→ The power has been divided into 11 fragments, greatly reducing its potency.

→ For a short time, your strength increases up to its potential. (Maximum 1000)

→ When the beings who possess the 11 divided fragments of the power gather and physically contact with each other, then you can use <Power: Strength to Support Thirteen Handfuls of Sky> for 13 seconds, increasing strength by 1300%.

“It’s been divided into 11 pieces…”

Then, does that mean they too?

Sejun glanced at the Blackie Family in his sling bag.

Kkiiit.

Blackie, who had just woken up was stretching lazily.

Me, Theo, Cuengi, and Paespaes make four.

Blackie, Eomdol, Ggomi, Kkabi, Jaki, Karurur, and Shari make seven.

That makes 11 in total.

“But if it’s divided into 11 pieces, why is it called ‘thirteen handfuls’?”

11 + 2?

While Sejun was wondering about this,

Kihihit. Kking!

[Heheh. That’s because the great Blackie has three handfuls!]

Blackie proudly barked.

I’m thirsty…

Blackie, who had felt thirsty in the middle of the night,

Lick. Lick.

had quenched its thirst with the hot spring water, absorbing more of the lava blood’s energy than the others.

Kihihit. Kking! Kking! Kking!

[Heheh. This body is three handfuls! The great Blackie-nim is coming through! Make way!]

Blackie strutted around, proud of having the most power.

However,

“Puhuhut. Blackie is stupid, meow! You got a different name all by yourself, meow!”

Kueng! Kueng!

[It’s better to have the same one as Dad!]

This wasn’t a place where being higher was favored.

Still, it’s fortunate.

Sejun was glad to realize that the remaining energy from the Lava Bloodstone hadn’t gone to waste, even if he had only absorbed 3% of its power.

“Guys, let’s go eat.”

Feeling good, Sejun led his companions to the kitchen.

On the way to the kitchen,

“Huh? The line is still long.”

The Poisonous Honey Bees were still lined up to congratulate Sweetie.

“Sweetie must be having a hard time.”

Though being a queen seemed grand, it really was an extreme job, and Sweetie appeared to be no exception.

“I should give her something to eat.”

Sejun headed to Sweetie’s hive and handed over some plump seedless green grapes, made by Pose, the World Tree of the Silver Tower.

“Everyone, eat up.”

He also distributed fruit to the Poisonous Honey Bees waiting in line, so Sweetie could eat comfortably.

A little while later,

When Sejun arrived at the kitchen, Sejun No. 1 was placing the prepared dishes on the table.

The menu was prepared to suit everyone’s tastes, from grilled fish to roasted and dried sweet potato slices.

“Meow! This isn’t the grilled fish made with Chairman Park’s sincerity, meow!”

My cooking skill is the same as his, so what’s the difference?

Because of Theo, Sejun had to grill the fish again.

After finishing breakfast,

Slurp.

While Sejun leisurely sipped the morning coffee Cuengi had brewed,

“Hehehe. Chairman Park, I’m off to the Green Tower, meow!”

Kueng!

[Dad, Cuengi is going to gather herbs!]

Theo and Cuengi left for work.

“I guess I should start working too.”

After finishing his coffee, Sejun opened his Void Storage.

Clank.

[‘You’re a Field’ Lv. 8 activates.]

[You have planted a Destruction Devourer Seed in the body of Alice, the Mesmerizing Spider and 9th seat of the Apostles of Destruction.]

…

..

.

He planted the seed.

By the way, out of the two Fenrir’s Core Fragments he had obtained yesterday, he planted the 0.5% fragment in his field and entrusted the 15% fragment to Aileen.

Probably right now, the clan leaders are working hard to purify the 15% core fragment.

As Sejun diligently planted the Destruction Devourer Seeds,

“Ah, I almost forgot!”

He pulled out a glass bottle containing three drops of Enhancing Elixir that he received as a reward for completing the quest.

Then,

Drip. Drip.

He dropped one drop each on the Destruction Devourer Seed and the Destruction Pioneer Seed.

At that moment,

Slrrp.

The seeds absorbed the Enhancing Elixir.

“Oh, success.”

The enhancement was successful.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

The Destruction Devourer Seed increased the amount of energy of destruction it could devour in one go, and the Destruction Pioneer seed increased the number of seeds it spits out from 1 to 2.

As Sejun was checking the options of the enhanced seeds,

[The energy of creation spread around evolves the existing Destruction Devourers and Destruction Pioneers into +1 enhanced versions of Destruction Devourers and Destruction Pioneers.]

A message appeared as the blue energy from the surroundings was absorbed into the Destruction Devourer and Destruction Pioneer, causing a group evolution.

Hehe, my brilliance shines once again today.

Sejun grinned in satisfaction.

***

42nd floor of the Green Tower.

“Puhuhut. The great hybrid Vice Chairman Theo has arrived, meow!”

When Theo shouted as he came out of the bag of the legendary merchant wandering the Nine Towers,

“Welcome!”

“Welcome!”

Turbo and Shark hurriedly ran over.

But then,

Gooooo.

They quickly backed away again.

“Theo, why are you so late?!”

It was because of Ophelia, who had been eagerly waiting for Theo, her eyes practically popping out.

“Where’s my grilled sausage?”

“Of course I brought it, meow! But give me the mugwort first, meow!”

“Here, take it.”

“Here’s your grilled sausage, meow!”

“Theo, thank you! Then I’ll be going!”

After completing the trade with Ophelia,

“Report, meow!”

Theo received reports from Turbo and Shark, collecting five Land Deeds and one Life Orb of Green.

Then,

“The auction will begin, meow!”

Theo auctioned off Sejun’s crops,

“Sold out, meow!”

Theo, the king of selling out, had done it again.

Puhuhut. Thanks to the green grapes, sales have increased significantly, meow!

Feeling pleased with the increased sales, Theo sat in a spot with a nice view and

“Puhuhut. This is delicious, meow!”

He pulled out the grilled fish lunchbox Sejun had packed for him and ate it happily.

While enjoying the grilled fish,

“Meow?!”

He suddenly remembered something.

Theo reached into the Pouch of Abundance he was wearing and pulled out a seed.

Hehehe. Now I can make 10 Magic Streams, meow!

Theo planned to create a large number of Magic Streams.

The reason?

It’s because the great Hybrid Chairman Park is going to become the super-giant Chairman, meow! That’s how I’m going to punish the system, meow!

To use magic streams to manifest the super-giant Chairman Park.

Theo, full of anticipation, looked at his paw, which was holding the seed.

However,

“Meow?!”

Why is there only one seed, meow?!

Theo’s paw held only one seed, which was slightly larger than before.

“This can’t be, meow!”

Chairman Park said I was lucky, meow!

Unable to believe the reality in front of him, Theo examined the seed closely.

[Seed of Great Magic Stream]

“Meow?!”

The name is different, meow!

The seed had a different name. The word ‘Great’ was attached in front of it, and the description stated that the seed had evolved by combining 10 Magic Stream Seeds.

“Puhuhut. As expected, I, the hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, recognized by the great Hybrid Chairman Park, couldn’t possibly be unlucky, meow!”

Chairman Park knew this would happen and gave me the Magic Stream Seed and the Pouch of Abundance, meow! Chairman Park is truly great, meow!

Once again, Theo, the fanatic worshipper of Sejun, praised him.

Swoosh.

“Hehehe. This time, it will become 10, meow!”

Theo placed the Great Magic Stream Seed back into the Pouch of Abundance.

However,

[The energy of the Pouch of Abundance has been exhausted.]

“Meow?!!!”

Rustle.

The Pouch of Abundance, having exhausted its power creating 9 Magic Stream Seeds, turned into light and disappeared.

“Meow?! Chairman Park, Leah-nim gave you a defective item, meow!”

In a hurry to report Leah’s fraud(?) to Sejun, Theo rushed back to the Black Tower.
