Within the Mental Realm of the Calamity Sejun.
Boom! Boom!
The Hyper-Colossal Calamity Sejun and the Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2 were locked in a ferocious battle, exchanging powerful blows.
Meanwhile…
Crunch. Crunch.
“Hehe. Dad, popcorn tastes good even here!”
“Hahaha. Eat as much as you want, Queng.”
“Got it!”
Sejun watched the fight unfold while munching on popcorn alongside Queng.
“Purr. The churu is delicious, nyang!”
“Snort, snort. The honey peanuts are tasty too!”
“Chomp, chomp. The coconut from Chairman Sejun is delightful!”
“Sweet potato jerky is the best!”
Naturally, the rest of the group also enjoyed their snacks while spectating.
“Butler! More sweet potato jerky!”
Hehe. Eating in the mental realm doesn’t make you gain weight, so I should indulge.
“Alright…”
Sejun obediently handed over more sweet potato jerky, overwhelmed by the awe-inspiring presence of the Kamangi Family in this mental world.
As Sejun and his companions enjoyed their snacks and watched the battle between the two colossal Sejuns…
Thud. Thud.
The tide of the battle shifted. The Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2 began to take a beating, unable to keep up with the sheer strength and size of the Hyper-Colossal Calamity Sejun.
“Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2, hang in there, nyang! I, Vice Chairman Theo, did not train you to be weak, nyang!”
Frustrated by the Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2’s disadvantage, Theo leaped into action.
Whoosh.
In a flash, Theo darted from Sejun’s lap to the Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2’s knee.
Shine.
Placing his radiant golden paw on the knee of the Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2, something incredible happened.
Rumble.
The Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2 began to grow larger and stronger, fueled by Theo’s support.
“Oh! With the help of Coach Theo, the Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2 is gaining size and power!”
Unaware that enormous amounts of money from his subspace were being consumed to empower the Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2, Sejun enthusiastically narrated the scene.
Moments later…
The Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2 finally evolved into the Hyper-Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2 after burning through three-quarters of the treasures stored in Sejun’s subspace, achieving a size and strength comparable to the Hyper-Colossal Calamity Sejun.
Not stopping there, the Hyper-Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2 further enhanced its combat power by fortifying its aura.
Whooosh.
A thick red aura emanated from the Hyper-Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2.
“Purr. Hyper-Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2, go teach it a lesson, nyang!”
Thud. Thud.
Spurred on by Theo’s encouragement, the Hyper-Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2 charged at the Hyper-Colossal Calamity Sejun.
Meanwhile…
Fwoosh.
The corruption engulfing the Hyper-Colossal Calamity Sejun’s body began to burn and dissipate under Sejun’s watchful gaze.
As the two colossal Sejuns fought fiercely, the corruption was entirely erased by Sejun.
Thud. Thud.
After exchanging countless blows, the Hyper-Colossal Calamity Sejun and the Hyper-Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2 began to feel a strange sense of camaraderie.
It was only natural—they were, after all, two versions of the same person. By observing each other’s expressions and movements, they could instinctively understand each other’s thoughts and feelings.
Then…
“Handsome Sejun, let’s not fight anymore.”
“Alright, Handsome Sejun. We get along pretty well.”
At some point, the two colossal Sejuns clasped hands as if arm wrestling, their minds harmonizing.
As their minds connected…
Flash!
A burst of light erupted from their bodies, and they began to merge into a single, even greater Sejun.
And then…
[The two avatars of Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun have merged, becoming the God of Destruction, Calamity Sejun.]
[You have achieved the Great Creation Feat of possessing a transcendent avatar.]
[This avatar surpasses the capabilities of Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun.]
[The reward for the Great Creation Feat has been significantly reduced.]
[As a reward, your Divinity has increased by 10.]
[The God of Destruction, Calamity Sejun, will act independently until the main body of Park Sejun grows stronger.]
A message appeared before Sejun.
“What is this?”
Sejun stared at the message, dumbfounded.
‘Why do they get along after fighting, and now they’ve become a god?!’
And what about me?!
Once again, Sejun found himself left behind while his avatars ascended to godhood. He couldn’t help but feel wronged.
But what bothered him the most was…
Why don’t they get along with me?
His avatars had bonded with each other, completely ignoring their original self.
Are they looking down on the main body?!
As Sejun fumed over being disregarded by his own avatars…
“Hahaha. Main Body Park Sejun, grow stronger quickly and meet me again. Here’s a gift.”
The God of Destruction, Calamity Sejun, spoke to Sejun while…
Snap.
With a sharp snap of its fingers, the God of Destruction, Calamity Sejun, delivered its parting gift.
[The God of Destruction, Calamity Sejun, has bestowed the Blessing of Destruction upon Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun.]
[For the next week, anything your hands touch, excluding yourself, will be destroyed.]
A crimson aura enveloped Sejun as the "blessing" took hold.
But…
“Anything I touch gets destroyed?”
How am I supposed to farm? How am I supposed to cook?!
To Sejun, this was less of a blessing and more of a curse.
“Well then, see you next time.”
“Wait…”
Sejun tried to demand the blessing be canceled, but before he could finish his sentence—
“…cancel—! Huh?!”
—his consciousness had already returned to reality.
At that moment…
Crack.
The wooden vine supporting Sejun’s hand broke apart, sending him tumbling downward.
Thunk.
On instinct, Sejun reached out to grab another vine, but—
Crack.
—the part he touched also crumbled, causing him to fall again.
Right! The Blessing of Destruction!
Realizing the blessing's effects, Sejun grew frustrated.
Why give me something so annoying?!
Annoyed at Calamity Sejun, Sejun kicked hard against a vine, embedding his leg into it and halting his fall.
“Purr. Chairman, what are you doing, nyang?”
Theo, who had climbed onto Sejun’s knee at some point, tilted his head in curiosity as he dangled upside down.
“It’s because of the Blessing of Destruction. Iona, can you lift me up?”
“Snort, snort. Of course.”
With Iona’s magic, Sejun was safely returned to the area where his companions were waiting.
“Listen up, everyone. Because of the Blessing of Destruction, I won’t be able to pet you for a week.”
Sejun made the announcement with a serious expression.
However…
“Purr. The Blessing of Destruction won’t affect this body, nyang!”
“Snort, snort. That’s right!”
Queng!
Squeak!
His companions didn’t seem concerned in the slightest.
“If I touch something, it’ll break, see?”
To demonstrate, Sejun touched a wooden vine, which crumbled to dust.
Quack-quack-quack! Queng!
[Hehe. Dad, here, touch Queng’s feathers!]
Queng laughed, plucking out one of his feathers and handing it to Sejun.
“Huh?”
Why isn’t it breaking?
The feather remained perfectly intact in Sejun’s hand.
Queng!
[Queng’s feathers are stronger than Dad’s Blessing of Destruction!]
Queng explained as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
“Oh.”
So not everything breaks, then.
Sejun sighed in relief, realizing that his companions were safe to touch after all. He tested this by stroking their fur one by one.
Squeak!
[Butler! The Great Kamangi feels pain! Be gentle!]
While it wasn’t enough to destroy the Kamangi Family, they did feel discomfort when touched.
Meanwhile, the other companions sprawled on their backs, thoroughly enjoying Sejun’s attention.
Seeing this, the Kamangi Family watched from the side, frustrated.
The Great Kamangi will become stronger too!
Determined, the Kamangi Family resolved to begin special training.
Snort, snort.
During all this, Iona was busy using her magic to knit something.
When Sejun mentioned making gloves using Theo and Queng’s fur to seal the effects of the Blessing of Destruction, Iona had eagerly volunteered.
“I’ll handle it!”
Moreover…
Theo’s fur is all mine!
Iona took possession of Theo’s fur, meticulously crafting gloves for Sejun using her own fur and Queng’s as well.
“All Done!”
“Snort, snort, snort. Sejun-nim, I finished making them!”
“Thanks, Iona.”
Hmm? Why isn’t there any yellow in them?
Sejun slipped on the white-and-red gloves Iona had made. At that moment…
“Meow! I forgot something important, nyang!”
Theo suddenly sprang up and disappeared, only to reappear moments later holding a small white stone tablet covered in the Tears of Calamity.
“Purr, Chairman Park, take this, nyang!”
Theo handed the tablet to Sejun.
“What’s this?”
Sejun examined the tablet closely.
[System 371 Connection Device]
???
Enter the correct password to unlock the hidden content of the connection device and access [System 371].
So, this thing can connect me to [System 371]?
“Wait, is it the system that messed with me?!”
Gotcha, you sneaky thing!
“Open sesame!”
Sejun blurted the first password that came to mind.
[Password entered.]
[······]
[Password accepted.]
[You may now view the hidden contents of the System 371 Connection Device.]
A moment later, a message appeared confirming the password.
It took some time because [System 371] had reset its password to match what Sejun said to gain his favor.
“What?”
That’s the password?
Stunned by his instant success, Sejun was momentarily lost for words.
Am I a genius?
The thought swelled his pride.
“Meow?! Chairman Park’s face is smug again, nyang!”
Theo quickly stomped on Sejun’s face to bring him back to earth. Ignoring Theo’s antics, Sejun refocused on the tablet’s details.
[System 371 Connection Device]
A device for connecting to [System 371].
When in possession, the device twists causality in the holder’s favor by 1% (requires consumption of the holder’s mana for each twist).
To connect to [System 371], three connection codes are required.
Creator: Undisclosed
Grade: Unmeasurable
[A quest has been issued.]
Quest: Collect three codes to connect to [System 371].
Reward: The ability to command me!
Command ‘me’?
Could it mean the system itself?
“Purr. Just wait until I gather all the codes—I’ll roll this system over and over like a ball.”
Sejun grinned at the thought of dominating the system.
But then…
“So, where are the codes?”
······
It seemed Sejun himself would be the one rolling first.
Relocation of the Calamity Creatures
After sorting everything out, Sejun addressed his companions.
“You’ll stay here from now on.”
Sejun relocated the Calamity Predators and Calamity Pioneers from the 10th Tower’s first floor to the plant-based planet. It was now more efficient to purify the Calamity energy there rather than in the tower.
“And today, I’ll use Leviathan’s body.”
With a metallic clang, Sejun opened his subspace storage to retrieve Leviathan’s body.
His plan was to plant more Sky-Reaching Beans to expand and fortify the plant planet.
“Huh?! Where’s my treasure?!”
Sejun’s scream echoed as he stared at the now-empty subspace.
Pat. Pat.
“Purr, Chairman Park, I burned it all earlier for the Ultra-Colossal Chairman Park 2, nyang!”
Theo, who had been kneading Sejun’s face, helpfully explained where the treasure had gone.
“Ah…”
Since Theo’s actions had helped them win, Sejun couldn’t really complain. He sighed deeply and got to work.
Expanding the Plant Planet
Sejun, looking defeated, took out Leviathan’s body.
[You Are the Field (Master) activates.]
[Sky-Reaching Beans have been planted on Leviathan, the Calamity Apostle of the 12 Thrones, the Snake That Calls the Tides.]
Sejun diligently planted the Sky-Reaching Beans on Leviathan’s body.
Moments later…
[You have defeated Leviathan, the Calamity Apostle of the 12 Thrones, the Snake That Calls the Tides.]
[You have gained 2 trillion experience points.]
[You leveled up.]
[You have earned 1 bonus stat point.]
[Strength increased by 30.]
[Strength potential increased by 1%.]
With Leviathan’s body gone, Sejun gained a level.
Ah, my treasure…
Return to the Black Tower
“Let’s go home, everyone.”
Dragging his feet, Sejun led his companions back to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
“Sejun-nim, welcome back!”
The enthusiastic voice of Tolyong greeted Sejun as he returned from Tartarus.
“What?! You know where the gods hiding their treasure stashes are?!”
Sejun’s eyes widened in excitement as he listened to Tolyong.
“Yes!”
Tolyong’s prideful voice rang out.
“Purr, well done, Tolyong.”
It seemed there was hope for refilling his subspace storage with treasure once again.
