Chapter 386: As Expected, Real Chairman Park's Lap is the Best, meow!
Black Tower Administrator Area.
"Kekekeke. I found it!"
Aileen, who had been searching for power of destruction with her destruction detector for several hours, rejoiced when she found its location.
[One of the divine relic owned by Sejun, the tower farmer of the Black Tower, has disappeared.]
[One of the black tower's growth conditions changes to unachieved.]
An alarm appeared on the crystal orb.
"What?! Who dared to mess with Sejun's relic...?"
Aileen hurriedly used the crystal orb to find Sejun and locate the one who had taken his relic.
However, no suspicious figure appeared in the crystal orb.
"Sejun, don't worry! I'll take care of it! Grandpa-!"
Aileen called for Kaiser's help.
***
- What?! Someone dared to touch our Sejun's relic?! Got it. Leave it to me.
Upon hearing Aileen's words, Kaiser flew swiftly to Sejun.
And then,
"Vice Chairman Theo, wake up!"
Kueng! Kueng!
[Big brother, Cuengi was trying to protect you! You mustn't die!]
What Kaiser saw was Sejun holding the collapsed Theo, with Cuengi crying hysterically beside them.
- Sejun, what happened?
"Kaiser-nim, please help! Theo was struck by a red light and collapsed!"
- A red light?
Kueng... Kueng...
[Cuengi was scolding the relic was messing with dad... and it broke while punishing it...]
Cuengi explained the recent events.
- You heard the voice of Battler, the god of battle?
Kueng!
[Yes!]
Listening to Cuengi's explanation, Kaiser pondered.
'Did he descend directly?'
Kaiser had sensed a different aura from Theo's body and was now beginning to understand.
That rascal Battler must have entered Theo's body to take over.
- Don't worry. I'll handle it. Mental Dive.
Kaiser placed the hand of the black dragon statue on Theo's body and entered Theo's mental world.
***
- What... what is this?!
Seeing the enormous Sejun growing larger, the god of battle, Battler, was astonished. Can it grow even bigger here?
To become a spiritual entity of that size, one would need an enormous amount of divine power or receive immense faith from the owner of this mental world.
Not just immense faith, but absolute belief without a shred of doubt, would be required to explain such a size.
However,
- That's impossible...
Everyone has a self, so it's impossible to absolutely trust someone more than oneself.
Moreover, he had never heard of a god maintaining such a size with divine power in these times when gathering divine power was difficult.
An incomprehensible phenomenon.
Slap!
- What's important now is not that nonsense. I am Battler, the god of battle. I will defeat any enemy!
Battler slapped his own cheeks to rouse his fighting spirit.
However, it was a futile effort.
"Puhuhut. Now I've super-giant Chairman Park, meow! Super-giant Chairman Park, punish Battler, meow!"
"Punish... him..."
Responding to Theo's shout while clinging to the super-giant Sejun's knee, the super-giant Sejun slowly reached out his hand.
- Hmph!
Battler scoffed and tried to dodge Sejun's hand lightly.
Thud.
'Ugh! I can't move!'
Under the pressure created by the super-giant Sejun's hand, Battler couldn't move an inch and ended up captured by Sejun's hand.
- I, the god of battle, a prisoner...
This alone was already a significant disgrace...
"How dare you disregard my Chairman Park, meow! And you tried to hurt my little brother Cuengi, meow! I'll punish you, meow!"
Slap. Slap.
Theo's tiny front paw, smaller than Battler's fingernails, slapped him. It didn't hurt, but it made him feel even more mocked.
- You! Don't you know the pride of a warrior?! Treat me like a warrior!
Unable to bear the humiliation, Battler shouted while simultaneously preparing to escape at the first opportunity.
Though the power of the super-giant Sejun was strong, it wasn't enough to completely destroy Battler.
As Battler gritted his teeth,
"Meow?! I don't know anything about a warrior's treatment, meow! Instead, I'll let you stamp this, meow!"
With Theo's words, a contract appeared.
- What?! A stamp?!
Battler frowned at the mention of a stamp. Because he had seen many gods fall to ruin after stamping wrong contracts.
"Puhuhut. That's right, meow! You just need to stamp here, meow!"
- No way!
Battler clenched his thumb into a fist to avoid stamping, but a small gap inevitably formed.
"Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, never give up, meow!"
As a cat, Theo easily slipped into the gap and
Press.
Stamped Battler's thumb on the contract. It was so small that Battler felt nothing.
However,
"Meow?!"
Why isn't it stamping, meow? Battler's thumbprint didn't appear on the contract.
"Something's wrong, meow!"
Even after multiple attempts, when the stamp didn't appear,
"My slave Gaeron, come out, meow!"
Theo summoned Gaeron.
- Did you call for me, Theo~nim?
"Yes! Gaeron, why isn't the stamp working, meow?"
Theo asked while pressing Battler's thumb on the contract.
- Ah. This happens when there's a significant disparity in power between the parties. If the other party rejects, the stamp won't take.
"Meow?! Then if he agrees, it will work, meow?!"
- Yes. If the other party consents, it's possible.
"Puhuhut. Understood, meow!"
I just need to get Battler's consent, meow!
- Theo~nim, who owns this hand?
"This guy is Battler, the god of battle, meow!"
- What?! The god of battle, Battler?!
Are you trying to make the god of battle your slave?!
"Gaeron, you know him too, meow?!"
- Of course! He's one of the highest-ranking gods!
Gaeron responded in an excited voice.
But... it's definitely impossible... yet Gaeron thought, 'Maybe Theo could do it?'
If Theo got Battler's stamp, the hierarchy would... I'm senior, so I'd be higher, right?
The heart of Gaeron, the God of Jewel Frogs, swelled with grandeur at the thought of having the God of battle, Battler as his junior.
"Theo~nim, good luck!"
"Puhuhut. Got it, meow! Gaeron, you can go back now, meow!"
Theo dismissed Gaeron and slipped back out of the gap.
"Battler, consent to the stamp, meow!"
- Hmph! I'd rather die than stamp that!
"Stamp it, meow!"
- No way!
Battler stubbornly refused to stamp.
"Super-giant Chairman Park, punish him, meow!"
Squeeze!
At Theo's command, the super-giant Sejun tightened his grip on Battler, but
- Useless!
Battler resisted to the end.
"Stamp it, meow!"
- No!
As Theo and Battler continued their tussle,
- Huh?! What's this? Did I enter the wrong mind? But Sejun's mental strength shouldn't be this strong...
The great black dragon Kaiser, who had entered Theo's mental world, was bewildered upon seeing the much larger super-giant Sejun.
He had definitely entered Theo's mental world, but seeing the giant Sejun made him think he had mistakenly entered Sejun's mind.
"Puhuhut. Kaiser~nim, it's so good to see you, meow!"
Theo, clinging to the knee of the super-giant Sejun, greeted Kaiser warmly.
Seeing Kaiser gave Theo an idea on how to get the stamp. If there's a power difference, reduce it!
- Theo, you're truly beyond imagination.
Kaiser, understanding the situation as he saw Theo waving his paw at him, was astounded.
He knew Theo trusted Sejun, but not to this extent. It was an endless, boundless trust.
To Theo, Sejun was a god. An absolute god. No deity could defeat Sejun within Theo's mental world.
- Theo, but where is Battler?
"Puhuhut. He's over there, meow!"
Theo pointed to the hand of the super-giant Sejun, where Battler was seen there with his head bowed in defeat.
-Kuhahaha. No way. Who's this? Isn't it Battler, the God of battle?
Kaiser, who had initially prepared for a fight with Battler, now relished in the sight. He deliberately faced Battler, who was trying to avoid eye contact, taunting him.
The two had known each other since before the tower existed and did not have a good relationship.
-Eek!
Battler, embarrassed to be seen in such a humiliating position by Kaiser, wanted to flee but was helplessly restrained by the super-giant Sejun.
At that moment,
"Puhuhut. Kaiser~nim, could you stamp this for me, meow?"
Theo held out the contract to Kaiser.
- A stamp?
"That's right, meow! You just need to stamp it here, meow!"
Theo pointed to the designated spot on the contract, next to where his own paw print was already stamped.
Theo planned to elevate his status by getting Kaiser's stamp and then obtain Battler's stamp.
- Hahaha. Of course, I'll stamp it for you.
Thud.
Kaiser willingly stamped the contract.
"Thank you, Kaiser~nim, meow! Now I can get the stamp, meow!"
No, thank you. To be able to personally watch the scene of Battler becoming a slave.
- Hurry and get the stamp.
"Puhuhut. Got it, meow!"
With Kaiser's stamp, Theo eagerly dashed into the gap of Battler's hand and
Press.
obtained Battler's stamp.
- This can't be... I clearly blocked it, how?! Am I really a slave now? The god of battle, Battler? This is impossible!
"Puhuhut. It's possible, meow! Slave, hand over something useful for Chairman Park, meow!"
Theo began to extort the newly enslaved Battler.
- Hahaha. That guy, Battler, has a lot of good stuff, so ask for everything.
"Puhuhut. Got it, meow!"
Kaiser encouraged Theo, watching with amusement as Theo extorted Battler.
A little later,
"Meow?! Is this really all, meow?! For every new thing I find I will have Kaiser~nim hit you with a breath, meow!"
Theo, holding an armful of potions, skill stones, and weapons he had taken from Battler, asked.
-Now I really don't have any more...
Battler replied in a voice of utter resignation.
"Meow?! Why aren't there any divine relics, meow?! Hand over the divine relics, meow!"
- What?!
Hearing Theo demand divine relics after taking everything else from him, Battler was left speechless.
- Do you think divine relics are that common?!
"Are you sure you don't have any divine relics, meow?"
- Yes, and the one I did have got destroyed by that bear...
Slap.
"He's not a bear; he's my little brother Cuengi! But Battler, you're totally penniless, meow!"
Theo reprimanded Battler for calling Cuengi a bear and spoke in a dismissive tone.
- What?! I have a lot compared to others!
Battler, enraged by Theo's words, shouted in frustration.
"Got it, meow! I'll believe you, meow! Next time, bring even more, meow!"
- Hmph! There probably won't be a next time!
As Battler's descent time ended, he shouted with relief and disappeared.
And then,
"Puhuhut. We will meet again, meow!"
Theo looked at the spot where Battler had vanished, feeling certain they would cross paths again.
- Theo, see you outside.
"Puhuhut. Got it, meow!"
After Kaiser disappeared, Theo packed the items he received from Battler into his bag.
"Let's meet again, super-giant Chairman Park's lap, meow!"
Theo hugged the knee of the super-giant Sejun tightly and closed his eyes.
"Meow..."
"Vice Chairman Theo, are you okay?"
When the unconscious Theo opened his eyes, Sejun asked with a worried voice.
Kaiser had reassured Sejun before leaving, but he was still concerned.
However,
"Puhuhut... even with my eyes open, I'm on Chairman Park's lap, meow! As expected, the real Chairman Park's lap is the best, meow!"
Seeing Theo happily rubbing his body on his knee, Sejun felt there was no need to worry, just as Kaiser had said.
"What are you talking about? Get up already."
Sejun, needing to find wood to cook porridge since gaurdian wooden shield was gone, tried to get up hurriedly.
At that moment,
"Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I've got something good, meow!"
Theo emptied his bag, revealing the items he had received from Battler, and Sejun sat back down to examine them.
Among the items were two unending staffs that could be used as firewood.
"Oh. Vice Chairman Theo, well done!"
"Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, always do well, meow!"
Theo replied in a haughty voice, vigorously rubbing his forehead against the hand that was patting him.
