Chapter 635: The Sword God’s Inheritance
Still, the perilla powder’s strong explosion continued to engulf Minhyuk.
[The God of Explosions’ Perilla Powder’s resistance has increased!!!]
[The Perilla Powder’s explosion damage will triple!!!]
In just a single explosion, Minhyuk’s HP had been cut down by 5%. However…
“Heal.”
“Heal.”
“Heal.”
Minhyuk’s HP immediately filled up after receiving heals from hundreds of priests. At first, the priests showed off their power all together. But after a while, they began to form a system when healing Minhyuk. Actually, they did not really know why they were giving heals to Minhyuk.
Pope Carunu was the greatest among all of the living popes. Even he was wondering why he suddenly became Minhyuk’s heal shuttle. He only ran after hearing that Minhyuk was in danger because he was curious about Minhyuk’s dishes. But Minhyuk looked so busy that he did not dare to ask.
“Heal.”
He just continued to use Heal.
“Keuaaaaaack! The abnormal status casted by the Venomous Witch has become stronger!!!”
As Minhyuk faltered, the priests tried to offset the abnormal status that was inflicted upon him. “This abnormal status is beyond what we can handle.” The priests called out urgently.
“…”
Pope Carunu and the other popes used their ‘Papal Authority’ to release Minhyuk from the abnormal status. With that, Minhyuk’s abnormal status was lifted.
“Phew. I’m saved. Thank you. Mr. Popes, please keep on doing your heal shuttle… No, I would be grateful if you continue on helping me.”
“…???”
“…???”
“…???”
Question marks began to pop up over the popes’ heads. Why were they even healing him like this? As they continued with this system, Minhyuk was able to reach the end of his cooking. That was when Minhyuk recalled something.
‘Come to think of it, high-leveled priests have the Goddess of Luck’s Blessings, right? The skill that can increase the probability of successfully making artifacts or dishes?’
What was more, the Goddess of Luck’s Blessings was something that could be overlapped. Of course, the increase in probability was very low.
“Guys, please give me the Goddess of Luck’s Blessings!”
“…?”
“…?”
The popes had not used the Goddess of Luck’s Blessings for the longest time. It was because there was no reason for someone as great as them to use this power for anyone. However, they were now in a situation where they had already started to help. The first to cast the Goddess of Luck’s Blessings was Saintess Loyna.
[You have received the Goddess of Luck’s Blessings.]
[Saintess Loyna’s Blessings is very special!]
[The probability of creating a successful dish has become 10% higher than normal!]
Immediately after that…
[You have received the Goddess of Luck’s Blessings.]
[Pope Carunu’s Blessings is special!]
[The probability of creating a successful dish has become 6% higher than normal!]
[…Goddess of Luck’s Blessings.]
Popes could usually increase the probability by 6%. With the two as the catalyst, the other high-leveled priests also began to use their own Goddess of Luck’s Blessings.
[You have received the Goddess of Luck’s Blessings.]
[The probability of creating a successful dish has become 0.8% higher than normal!]
As expected, the increase of probability that Saintess Loyna and the popes’ had given to Minhyuk was completely different from that of the ordinary priests. However, there were around 500 high-leveled priests that cast the Goddess of Luck’s Blessings.
[…Goddess of Luck’s Blessings.]
[…Goddess of Luck’s Blessings.]
[…Goddess of Luck’s Blessings.]
[The probability of getting a higher-grade dish has increased to more than 80%!]
The corners of Minhyuk’s lips started to curl. This gamjatang had three God-grade ingredients in it. Up until this point, Minhyuk had only ever made God-grade dishes with only one God-grade ingredient. The first reason was, it was a waste to use more than one. The second reason was, he could not do so even if he wanted to, since he did not have enough ingredients.
Of course, it was only natural that the probability would increase the more God-grade ingredients were used in the dish. Especially when it came to the damage that he received from them. It was far more than usual. Finally, Minhyuk sprinkled green onions on top of the dish, marking its completion.
[You have completed a Gamjatang.]
[Hyemin’sDaddy’s dish is the only dish with the buff effect.]
[The Create a Recipe Skill Effect can only be tasted by the same person once per month.]
[Trance. It’s a dish that has your ‘Pain’, ‘Spirit of Challenge’, ‘Unwavering Will’ and ‘Strong Stamina’ poured into it.]
[Due to the effects of Trance, the buff effect has become better.]
[There are three God-grade ingredients inside this dish.]
[The probability of getting a God-grade dish has increased significantly.]
[You have made a dish that has reached a realm that no human has ever dared to touch.]
Along with that, a pillar of light fell from the sky and engulfed the gamjatang.
[You have made a God-grade Gamjatang.]
[‘Anonymous’ has been announced to the entire continent for your achievement in creating a food closest to God.]
[The Food God’s Cooking Skill has leveled up!]
[You will now be able to make better dishes.]
[You have gained 100 DEX.]
[You have gained 200 REP.]
[You have gained 10,000 AP.]
[You have gained 300,000,000 EXP as a special reward.]
[You have leveled up.]
The popes, the Saintess and the priests panicked for a moment after seeing the bright light that fell down from the skies. In fact, this was a first for them. After all, they have never seen a foreigner create a God-grade dish before. On top of that, the divinity that appeared in front of them was like that of Athenae herself. Because of that, all of them knelt down.
With that, all of the blacksmiths and the residents of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom could not help but cheer loudly!
“Long live His Majesty Minhyuk!!!”
“Long live Beyond the Heavens!!!”
As for the popes, they were all in awe.
‘We must definitely forge a friendship with the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.’
‘We have to get closer with Beyond the Heavens.’
Then, Minhyuk handed the God-grade gamjatang to Hyemin’sDaddy. Of course, he immediately triggered his Joy of Eating Together skill. Then, at that moment, the four popes and Loyna approached Minhyuk.
Minhyuk immediately stood up and shook hands with Saintess Loyna and the popes. And the popes all began to speak.
“I came running here because I heard that you needed the support of the Athenae Religion.”
“What kind of help do you need?”
“By any chance, did you see any signs of the Great Demon descending?”
Minhyuk looked at the popes in doubt after hearing their words, “Eh? I just needed someone to heal me. That’s why I asked for three or four high-leveled priests for support.”
“…???”
“…???”
Only then did they realize that the role that they, the popes and Saintess Loyna, came here to play: heal shuttles. However, none of them could say anything even if they had ten mouths. After all, Minhyuk did not even ask the popes and Loyna to come here. They were the ones that came running here on their own, having been caught up in their own thoughts.
‘Maybe we can also eat that God-given food?’
‘I was able to witness the creation of a great dish.’
“Then, then our job as a heal shuttle… no, do you still need our help?”
“No, not at all. I think it’s time for you to give heals to the blacksmiths over there.”
“I, I see…”
“Cough!”
“Cough, cough!”
The popes felt like the tips of their noses had turned itchy and red. After seeing their expressions, Minhyuk could not help but chuckle deep inside.
“Ah, I’ll treat everyone to a meal after everything here is done.”
At that moment, a sparkle appeared in the eyes of the four popes and Saintess Loyna.
“Hahahahahaha!!! Leave these small things to us popes!!!”
Pope Carunu slapped the shoulders of the pope next to him and said, “That’s right!!! Absolutely right! Hahahaha. We’ll do our best to help.”
With just one word, Minhyuk was able to make the four popes, Saintess Loyna, and the ten thousand priests into his very own heal shuttle.
***
Hyemin’sDaddy looked at Minhyuk, who was having a conversation with the popes, with a smile on his face while thinking, ‘As usual, you’re amazing, Minhyuk.’
Then, he looked at the gamjatang placed in front of him. He did not check the information of the dish on purpose. The gamjatang was still boiling and was filled with his favorite cabbage and perilla leaves. Then, he scooped a spoonful of the soup and took a sip.
“Sluuuurp.”
The deep flavor of the soybean paste and various vegetables in the soup made him naturally go ‘Kghkk….’. Despite trying to remain composed, he unknowingly clapped his hands. The taste made him crave for some soju.
This time, he picked the large backbone and placed it on his plate. The bottom of the plate was instantly covered by the red sauce, as steam rose from the back bone. Surprisingly, the meat came off the bone with ease, when Hyemin’sDaddy just softly touched it with his chopsticks.
‘Restaurants serving gamjatang often serve backbones with tough meat. They also have a fishy smell too.’
But Minhyuk’s version was very soft and tender. When he placed the meat in his mouth, an even softer texture greeted him. It felt like the meat melted in his mouth.
This time, he used his hand to pick up the big backbone after mixing some soy sauce and wasabi. Then, he dipped the backbone in the sauce with a slight green tinge and took a bite. It tasted sour, spicy, and sweet at the same time, which brought a smile to his face as he placed the backbone down for a moment.
Then, Hyemin’sDaddy placed a spoonful of the gamjatang soup on his rice, before placing some perilla leaves and cabbage while thinking to himself, ‘The softness of the cabbage in the gamjatang is just right, and it is also thoroughly covered in the soup.’
Hyemin’sDaddy scooped a mouthful of rice and placed everything in his mouth. The soft texture of the cabbage caused the smile on his face to grow wider. Then, he used a ladle to scoop some soup onto his own plate. After that, he lifted the plate and slurped everything in it.
“Ho…”
The dish had a flavor that one could not help but admire. After that, Hyemin’sDaddy and Minhyuk enjoyed some fried rice together. Then, after finishing everything, Hyemin’sDaddy closed his eyes and listened to the notifications that rang in his ears.
[You ate a dish from a recipe specially made for you.]
[You won’t be able to eat another dish from a recipe specially made for you for a month.]
[You can’t receive any duplicate buffs during the duration of the buff retention period.]
[Gamjatang.]
[Your God of Blacksmith’s Crafting Skill will increase by +6 for one hour.]
[You will be able to transcend the human realm and reach the level of the Gods!]
[All of your blacksmithing skills will increase by +4 levels!]
[Your artifact production speed will decrease by 80%!]
[Your DEX will increase by 300%!]
[You are probably on par, or perhaps even greater than the God of Blacksmiths Hepas right now.]
[You will temporarily receive a special privilege for transcending the human realm!]
[All of your skills and abilities will temporarily increase by 1.4x!]
Hyemin’sDaddy’s body gave an involuntary shudder. He was given the power that could surpass even the God of Blacksmiths Hepas as of this moment.
‘I might be comparable to Hepas in terms of skills and power.’
Those words meant that Hyemin’sDaddy could be equal or be stronger than Hepas. He was also in a state where he transcended the limits of the human realm, and had become 1.4x stronger than before.
‘This state will only remain for an hour…’
Unfortunately, the time limit was just one hour. What could he even do in just an hour?
“Shuttles… no… Popes, Saintess Loyna and dear priests, please use the Prayer of Maintenance~”
At that moment, Minhyuk spoke out, and the Saintess, the popes and high-leveled priests began to cast a prayer that only they could use. At the same time, Loyna’s prayer fell upon Hyemin’sDaddy…
[Prayer of Maintenance.]
[With Loyna’s prayer of maintenance, the buffed dish’s duration will last 21 minutes longer.]
“Haaa… Haaa…” Loyna gasped for breath. It seemed like the Prayer of Maintenance used a lot more power than what others think.
Immediately after that…
[Prayer of Maintenance.]
[With Carunu’s prayer of maintenance, the buffed dish’s duration will last 13 minutes longer.]
[Prayer of Maintenance.]
[With Endo’s prayer of maintenance...]
Those that had reached the peak of priesthood could only increase the buff duration by at least ten to at most twenty-five minutes. However, the number of high-leveled priests present here reached the hundreds. Because of that, Hyemin’sDaddy’s buff duration was constantly being increased. In the end, the total buff duration was…
[Your buffed dish’s duration will last for 41 hours and 56 seconds!]
Hyemin’sDaddy was delighted. Now filled with confidence, he looked back at Minhyuk.
When he looked back, he saw the figure of an old man standing right next to the boy. That old man was Spear God Ben, and he was still using the spear that his son had given him a long time ago. But that spear was only a normal-rank spear with no other powers.
“I will make a great divine spear for Spear God Ben.”
The chances of the half-God Spear God Ben becoming a true and genuine God today was very, very high.
