Chapter 357
[Would you like to raise the title’s count to the maximum?]
[The title’s count has been raised to the maximum, and you have acquired ‘Master Enhancer.’]
Hooh.
It was a title he had given up on after it beca unnecessary, but as the rightful owner, he obtained it in the blink of an eye.
And that wasn’t all.
[Titles are being absorbed.]
All the titles Jeong-hoon had acquired until now were absorbed into him and vanished.
In exchange, the effects of those titles were amplified by 1.2 tis and applied directly to his abilities.
Tenebris couldn’t hide its disappointnt.
The owner Jeong-hoon had chosen.
With exactly half of the role fulfilled, he could exert a degree of authority just slightly below that of a Heavenly Lord.
Even so, Jeong-hoon couldn’t suppress a satisfied smile.
Not only had he swept up all the titles he hadn’t been able to obtain before, but his stats now far exceeded the previous ones, and he’d gained entirely new abilities. Furthermore, he had fused old abilities to recreate them into new skills.
“Ah, if I could've used the Creation Engine here, it would've been even stronger.”
The one regret was the Creation Engine.
Even though he could manipulate it through an avatar using the Chalice of the Void, he couldn’t use it to upgrade the skills he possessed.
“Easier said than done.”
Divine energy.
The condition required to ascend from Ultimate to God-level.
But fulfilling that condition was like plucking stars from the sky.
Even after eliminating a Heavenly Lord, he still hadn’t obtained any divine energy.
It likely ant it could only be gained through a Nad-level being.
At his current level, it was impossible, and all he could do was let out a dry laugh.
Tenebris tilted its head.
Since Jeong-hoon had deleted the Great Rift, there should’ve been a significant reaction. But it was oddly quiet.
“It’s because you’re concealing your presence.”
There were two possibilities.
The first: Logos was desperately trying to reassert control by recovering the stolen code through intervention on Earth.
The second: He was fixated on tracking down Jeong-hoon, who was now moving alongside Tenebris.
Given that he hadn’t made any moves yet, it was more likely that he had chosen the second option.
Which ant he considered finding Tenebris to be more important than recovering the lost authority.
‘That actually works out. This makes it much easier to act.’
The next step was to sever the connections with the transcendents.
As Jeong-hoon opened the server, countless transcendents ca into view.
Icon-like blocks.
He manipulated one of them and expelled it.
[You have expelled the demon Sekro.]
[Due to expulsion, the demon Sekro can no longer re-enter.]
After the expulsion ssage, the icon never appeared again.
Jeong-hoon selected all the icons and expelled them at once.
Even though countless ssages poured in, Jeong-hoon didn’t spare them a glance.
Following Baal’s instructions, the demons of the 96 Demon Realms had completely severed their contracts with their Avatars, even at the cost of penalties, and no longer held any interest in Earth.
However, the other demon realms were a different story.
With Escanon, the original ruler, gone, the demon realm he once governed had fallen into utter chaos.
Although the structure remained under the existing demon lords, if another demon realm invaded, using the God’s absence as a reason, it would be absorbed without resistance.
“Then I’ll take it first.”
The mont Jeong-hoon chose the path of becoming the owner, his first plan had been territorial expansion.
Of course, expanding wouldn’t directly harm the enemy, but he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing either.
If the situation allowed, it might even cause confusion among the enemy.
[Warning: Invasion detected.]
At that mont, a new ssage appeared.
Unlike the previous ones, this ssage had a red border.
It wasn’t a system-wide ssage sent to all users, but one visible only to Jeong-hoon, the Master of the Dinsion.
“As expected, they’re not just sitting back and watching.”
Still, it seed they weren’t acting directly.
“Technically, it’s you.”
Jeong-hoon glanced at Baal beside him and spoke.
“Baal, shouldn’t you return to your post as a demon lord by now?”
Baal had only pretended to be subdued by Jeong-hoon—he had never actually been defeated.
Which ant he could return to the demon realm anyti he wanted.
“Yeah. I’m also planning to help you take over the other demon realms.”
“Correct.”
Jeong-hoon nodded.
He would consolidate the demon realms once ruled by Escanon under Baal’s leadership.
But that plan fell apart before it even began.
Baal needed to return to the demon realm to reclaim his true form, but now he couldn’t.
Even though Jeong-hoon had beco the Master of the Dinsion, he hadn’t gained control of the connected demon realms.
Logos had anticipated this and quickly claid ownership of the demon realm.
‘Hmm, so we really are isolated.’
Having seized Earth and deleted the Great Rift, this outco was inevitable.
The enemy was trying to isolate Earth and then destroy it through invasion.
Tenebris clicked its tongue at the frustrated Baal.
Since Logos had sealed off the gate to the Demon Realm, not even a Demon Lord could force it open.
In the end, Baal in his current state couldn’t be of much help to Jeong-hoon.
“Don’t be too discouraged. I’ll help you reclaim your true form soon enough.”
Baal looked at Jeong-hoon with hopeful eyes.
“Oh, not right away.”
If Logos had intentionally blocked it, then even for Jeong-hoon, entering or exiting would be difficult.
Baal’s shoulders drooped.
He had thought he could return to the Demon Realm and reclaim his original form at any ti—he hadn’t expected the Nad one to block the way.
“Well then.”
Leaving Baal behind, Jeong-hoon pulled out the final Sin Box he had taken from Escanon, and at the sa ti, summoned the Seven Deadly Sins.
“Now, I’ll completely undo your seal.”
“Really?! You defeated Escanon!”
“Yeah. The divine relic you gave played a big role.”
The Chalice of the Void was powerful, but the Heavenly Retribution Reversal Scroll was what made it possible to cut off Escanon’s final breath more easily.
“Keh, good thing I held on to that!”
The Sin grinned with pride.
As Jeong-hoon reached for the box, Tenebris interjected with a sharp comnt.
“Traitor? Hah, are you talking to right now?”
The Sin glared at Tenebris.
“Still, isn’t being a traitor better than leeching off soone without any pride?”
“You’re joking. Why should I show respect to soone who was exiled before I even existed?”
Before Tenebris could finish, Jeong-hoon cut in.
“It’s fine. When I opened the Sin Box, that one beca my vassal.”
“Yeah.”
Even if the Sin harbored ill intent, there was no reason to worry.
Upon opening the Sin Box, the Sin had beco Jeong-hoon’s vassal.
That’s why, after being sent back, the Sin had stayed with Fenrir and Michael, who had been tad by Jeong-hoon.
‘Unless it gains the power to forcibly sever the vassal bond.’
Since Jeong-hoon had already taken down Abaddon and Escanon, the chances of him being overpowered were virtually zero—there was no need for concern.
Tenebris seed convinced and no longer tried to stop Jeong-hoon.
Jeong-hoon imdiately opened the remaining Sin Box.
[You have obtained the Sin of Lust from the Seven Deadly Sins.]
[All sins have been gathered.]
[Thanatos awakens.]
“Keuhuhu, it’s done! It’s finally done!”
Thanatos of the Seven Deadly Sins burst into loud laughter that echoed all around.
He was so overjoyed that he twisted his entire body in excitent, creating a scene.
When six sins had gathered, he already radiated the majesty of a great demon, but with the addition of the final Sin of Lust, what erged was a true demon—a being exuding death energy, enveloped in an ominous aura far beyond any demon encountered before.
Even Baal, once a Demon Lord, couldn’t hold a candle to the sheer perfection of that demon.
Baal, already deeply intimidated by Thanatos, didn’t even try to et his gaze.
“Thanatos of the Seven Deadly Sins. Your mories are complete now, right?”
Thanatos.
Like Abaddon, he was a transcendent being who symbolized death.
“Kukuk, yes. They’re absolutely perfect.”
Thanatos reached out his hand toward Jeong-hoon.
Startled by the gesture, Tenebris shouted, but Jeong-hoon simply snorted and slamd his fist into Thanatos’s face.
Thud!
With a dull sound, Thanatos’s head jerked to the side and he tumbled to the ground, losing his balance.
“Gahk!”
Thanatos groaned in pain, clutching his face.
“Thanatos, I really hate people who repay kindness with betrayal.”
“W-Wait a second!”
Thanatos hurriedly waved his hand.
“What, got sothing to say?”
“You’ve got it all wrong! That wasn’t an attack just now!”
“Your eyes said otherwise.”
“What do you an my eyes?! I’ve always looked like this!”
“Then what were you trying to do?”
“I figured transferring my mories would be easier than explaining everything one by one!”
“Then you should’ve said that before you made a move.”
“...Sorry.”
Thanatos scratched his head with an awkward expression.
Jeong-hoon healed the swelling on his cheek and continued.
“Then hand over all the mories you have.”
“Transferring everything I have would be impossible. It’s too vast.”
Unlike mortals, Thanatos lived an eternal life.
“Really? Then what were you trying to share?”
“Information about the Nad ones.”
“Oh, that’s fine. I can hear all of that from Tenebris here.”
When Jeong-hoon glanced at Tenebris, he simply shrugged.
“Isn’t that all you’ve got anyway?”
Their glares clashed like sparks flying in midair.
“Stop fighting. If you go off again, I’ll seal you both up for good.”
With Jeong-hoon’s intervention, Tenebris flashed a victorious smile.
Seeing that, Thanatos protested with an indignant face.
“Why am I the only one getting sealed? He’s the one who keeps provoking !”
“What are you talking about? I’m sealing both of you.”
Tenebris tilted his head.
“Yeah. You know I’m the master of this dinsion now, right?”
“What do you an ‘so’? I’m going to maintain the status quo and put your revenge on indefinite hold.”
“So just shut up, will you?”
Tenebris shut his mouth tightly, unwilling to let go of his vengeance.
“Alright. Then, Thanatos, there’s sothing I want you to do.”
“What is it?”
“Make contracts with the humans on Earth. As many as possible.”
“Huh, you an you want to create a bunch of Avatars?”
Jeong-hoon nodded.
