Chapter 746: God of Birth Gaerna
“That’s correct, although I don’t understand why Mandala would turn the Great Spirit berserk.”
Mandala had incurred the jealousy of the gods with his talents. Because of that, he was imprisoned here and rendered unable to escape the eyes of the gods. It was logical for him to blame and resent the gods, as well as the Great Spirit keeping him captive.
So, why did he choose to turn the Great Spirit berserk?
“It would be dangerous for us to go in as we are.”
Minhyuk thought that it was finally time for him to show off his true worth. At this point, everyone was devastated and in despair after suffering from the battle against the Great Spirit’s Fragments. On top of that, Knight Commander Don had almost died. One needed a full meal during times like this.
‘I think that would be perfect.’
Minhyuk knew just the thing, and he already had the tools and utensils to prepare the dish that he had in mind.

Description: This is the bizarre cauldron that Ravier, the past Food God and God of Cooking, treasured and loved.
It was an artifact of the greatest Food God, and it had a special effect that could increase the buffed dish’s effects by 15% when cooked using the Bizarre Cauldron.
Crackle—
Minhyuk lit a fire beneath the cauldron and began to boil the chicken that was usually used for samgyetang.
Fwiiiiiish—
The steam that escaped the seams of the cauldron lid drew the attention of the Swords of the Gods.
‘He’s really the king of cooking.’
‘So cool.’
In fact, what Minhyuk wanted to cook was not samgyetang, but chicken porridge. Once the chicken was cooked perfectly, he pulled it out of the cauldron and tore it apart with his bare hands. He looked like a master chef as he sat there and tore the meat of the chicken with his hands!
After tearing the chicken apart, he placed everything back, including the minced vegetables and glutinous rice that he had prepared before. Then, he let everything boil.
Fwooooosh—
A mouth-watering scent slowly wafted out as steam escaped the seams of the lid once again.
Usually, whenever the Swords of the Gods went on a hunt or a war, they would only bring beef jerky or other dried rations with them. Just the thought of eating a proper meal inside a hunting ground was making them shake in their seats with anticipation.
Minhyuk finished cooking the chicken porridge in no time at all. He immediately scooped the porridge into bowls and served it in front of everyone, along with some jangjorim and well-ripened kimchi.
At that moment, the Swords of the Gods saw the difference between the size of their bowl and Minhyuk’s bowl.
‘I don’t think you can call that a bowl. That’s already a basin.’
‘That’s more than twenty times more than our serving.’
“I’ve prepared a lot since there are many of us here.”
Hearing Minhyuk’s words, everyone turned to look at the chicken porridge that he prepared. The truth was, Don, who had just escaped the claws of death, had no appetite at all. He felt like he was going to be sick just by looking at the porridge in front of him.
‘Even so, I have to eat. If I want to fight against the Great Spirit then I must eat.’
Don grabbed his spoon and scooped a mouthful of chicken porridge into his mouth. A light yet savory flavor spread in his mouth the moment he tasted the dish.
‘Ho?’
The flavor was simply divine. On top of that, it was soft enough that he did not need to chew. Don could not help but smile when the dish went down his throat smoothly. After eating several spoonfuls of the porridge, Don turned his attention to the beef, which seemed to have been pickled with soy sauce.
‘What’s this?’
Don saw Minhyuk eating it with his porridge, so he copied him. To his surprise, the salty and savory flavor of the beef burst out in his mouth the moment he placed it in his mouth. The dish rounded up the flavor and gave a huge boost to the bland taste of the chicken porridge. This time, Don opted to eat the jangjorim as it was.
“Ho? What in the world is this?”
“It’s called beef jangjorim. It’s a very tasty side dish, no?”
“Beef jangjorim…”
“More importantly, it is a side dish that has been cooked and simmered for a long time in soy sauce. Because of that, it can be stored for quite a long time.”
“…What a magnificent dish.”
“That’s absolutely right. It is a magnificent dish. I can finish three bowls of rice with just this alone.”
Now that he had heard about it, Don realized that this side dish was truly amazing. As the Knight Commander, Don was no exception; he also only took beef jerky and hard bread with him whenever he went to any battlefield or hunting ground. After all, they were easy to carry and could be stored for a long time. Because of that, Knight Commander Don felt like the jangjorim tasted better than the chicken porridge.
“By any chance, do you have any more of this? I’m really sorry to ask this of you, but it’s truly very tasty. Ah. Of course, I would pay whatever price you set for it.”
Knight Commander Don felt deeply moved by the jangjorim’s flavor and advantages and wanted to get more of the dish, even if he had to pay for it.
‘I have to get it even if it is five times the price!’
“Hmm. I can tell that you must have really liked it since you’re saying that. But… This beef jangjorim was made in an aging jar that can only be used once and aged for two years…”
That was a lie. Minhyuk could age the jangjorim in Gorac’s Aging Jar in just under five minutes.
“As for the soy sauce, I used the Soy Sauce Bestowed by God.”
It was just normal dark soy sauce.
“The beef is from Rammabi’s Cow, and its value is unimaginable…”
It was just ordinary beef.
“I think it’s around 30 platinum per kilogram?”
He had actually bought it for around 15,000 gold per kilogram.
“But since it’s you, I will give it to you for only 25 platinum per kilogram.”
“…I asked you for this favor, so let me buy it at 30 platinum.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Just pay me 25 platinum. Take it as me being happy to have made your acquaintance.”
“I’m really grateful.”
Minhyuk lied without even flinching!
“Please let me buy it too!”
“Me too.”
“This dish is really delicious!”
[You have sold 1 kilogram of Beef Jangjorim to Don for 25 platinum.]
[You have sold 1 kilogram of Beef Jangjorim to Beloch for 25 platinum…]
“This is a special bargain for you guys. Don’t tell anyone about this at all!!!”
Minhyuk even got them to promise to keep their mouths shut and not tell the others the price later on.
“Of course.”
“Hahahahahaha! Thank you.”
“As expected of the Beyond the Heavens’ King.”
“I am deeply moved by your great generosity!!!”
Minhyuk’s mouth twitched in joy.
The God Who is Good at Lying looks at you and says…]
[Do you even have a conscience…?]
‘What is this guy? Why does he keep on talking to me lately?’
Minhyuk decided to ignore the god and just watched the men around him continue their meals.
An emotional smile flashed on Don’s face as he ate the last spoonful of his meal. Then, the notifications rang in his ears.
[You have eaten the Chicken Porridge.]
[The dish is Legendary grade.]
[Due to the effects of the Bizarre Cauldron, all buff effects have increased by 15%.]
[All of your stats have increased by 13%.]
[Your HP and MP volume has increased by 1.3x.]
[All of your skills’ levels have increased by +1.]
“…!”
Don and the rest of the knights were in awe. He had just cooked the dish in front of them, yet it had such amazing effects.
‘Perhaps this is the reason why His Majesty Nerva is wary of him?’
He was truly a man worthy of admiration.
At that moment, Minhyuk brought up his request. “I have a favor to ask you, will you listen to me?”
“Please feel free to speak.”
“We’ll do it to the best of our abilities.”
Since Minhyuk had reached MAX favor with Don and the Swords of the Gods, he readily explained about the Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book. As it was, the Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book would unconditionally create God-rank skills. However, just because it was a God-rank skill did not mean that it could also be very efficient. That was Minhyuk’s greatest problem. Everything would depend on the creator of the skill. Currently, who he had right in front of him were Knight Commander Don and the Swords of the Gods.
‘They are the strongest teachers that one might not be able to see anywhere else.’
They were the ones who had treaded the furthest in each of their respective fields and had transcended the limits of a human being.
“Alright. We’ll help you.”
“We have to help.”
The truth was, the Swords of the Gods did hesitate for a moment. After all, Minhyuk was still the king of the enemy kingdom. However, they had to at least do that much to repay the favor of him saving Knight Commander Don.
At the same time at Joy Co. Ltd.’s conference room.
President Kang Taehoon and the board members all looked at the scene in shock.
“…You can use the Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book like this?”
“Isn’t this considered an emergency?”
Indeed, it was an emergency. The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book was an item that would absolutely produce a God-rank skill. However, the most important aspect here was the fact that it could create a completely different skill, depending on how high the efficiency and how far the player could push.
Even for Joy Co. Ltd., this was something that was completely unexpected. All of them focused on the screen in front of them as the Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book shone brightly.
Minhyuk stared at the shining skill creation book and said, “I’m thinking of creating a new swordsmanship.”
“A new swordsmanship?”
“That’s right. I do not lack skills related to cooking at the moment. As for my Food God’s skills, they’re more than sufficient. The same goes for my one-shot kill skills and lethal moves.”
That was right. Minhyuk had the Overlord’s Technique, the Sword of Absolute Death, and the swordsmanship that Sword God Valen left behind—the Thousand Swords, the Ten Thousand Swords and the likes. What did these skills have in common? They were all one-shot lethal skills. Among these skills, the Overlord’s Technique and the Sword of Absolute Death were considered to be the most powerful, so he usually used them.
That was also the reason why he had neglected a particular swordsmanship skill. It was none other than ‘Ellie’s Swordsmanship’. When he had reached the halfway point on his road to the pinnacle, Ellie’s Swordsmanship had shown tremendous power. However, Ellie’s Swordsmanship’s efficiency and use had significantly decreased when Minhyuk became stronger or whenever he acquired new skills.
Also, in terms of swordsmanship skills, it should be able to be used according to the situation. That was not the case for lethal skills. As such, Minhyuk, someone who had a lot of powerful skills, needed to reinforce himself in this aspect.
The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book was covered in a bright light.
[You have used the Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book.]
[With the Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book, you can either combine the skills that you already have or create new skills.]
[If you choose to combine your skills, those skills will disappear.]
[You can run up to twenty simulations.]
What Minhyuk intended to do here was to create a new skill based on Ellie’s Swordsmanship, in exchange for the sacrifice of Ellie’s Swordsmanship.
[You are creating a skill based on Ellie’s Swordsmanship.]
[Ellie’s Swordsmanship’s first chapter is ‘Ellie’s Swordsmanship’.]
The light emitting from the skill creation book created a hologram. The hologram showed the existing ‘Ellie’s Swordsmanship’ buff with Minhyuk’s figure. It showed a red aura wrapping around his body as he used the skill.
“Would it be fine to look at it by ourselves?”
“Yes, of course.”
The Swords of the Gods moved to check the effectiveness of the skill ‘Ellie’s Swordsmanship’ with the hologram.
[A being that has transcended the limits of a human being has added their power to the Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book!]
[A being that will soon transcend the limits of a human being has added their power to the Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book!]
[A being that will soon transcend the limits of a human being…]
Minhyuk felt the greatness and majesty of the Swords of the Gods as he continued to listen to the notifications that rang in his ears. Then, an additional notification rang.
[The beings that even the gods cannot judge and evaluate begin to create the ‘Ellie’s Swordsmanship’s’ buff effect.]
They were beings that even the gods could not judge and evaluate. That was how powerful and amazing the Swords of the Gods were.
“It’s an excellent buff ability. However, I think it would be better if it had the effect where its power could increase based on the amount of mana that His Majesty Minhyuk has.”
“I think it would be better to increase the cutting power.”
The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book was an item that could allow them to tweak the skill however they liked. There was no restriction as to how they could make it.
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book has rejected the creation of Ellie’s Swordsmanship’s Skill for the first time.]
“If that’s the case, then let’s take this inefficient ability out and increase the amount of mana used…”
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book has rejected the creation of Ellie’s Swordsmanship’s Skill for the second…]
“This power might not necessarily be useful to His Majesty Minhyuk right now. Rather than that, how about increasing this one.”
The Swords of the Gods brainstormed and discussed how to create the best and most efficient Ellie’s Swordsmanship skill. Finally, the first chapter was completed.
[The Six Monster Gods’ Skill Creation Book has approved the creation of Ellie’s Swordsmanship!]
[You can now view the effects of the newly created swordsmanship skill!]
These were the effects of the original Ellie’s Swordsmanship:

“…?”
Minhyuk could hardly contain the shock that he felt when he saw the skill.
