Chapter 122: 27th Floor: Obtaining a Fragment of Divinity.
Squelch!!
The giant ogre's eye was pierced.
The spear drove straight through to its brain, piercing the cerebral cortex, but the beast was still alive.
GRAAAAGH!!!
It swatted at its own eye with its palm, as if trying to catch a mosquito.
'Farewell.'
Blinded by agony, the beast couldn't think straight.
I let go of the spear, jumped lightly, and grabbed the horn on its head to dodge out of the way.
The idiot swatted at its own eye, driving the spear even deeper with its own hand.
CRUNCH!!
My spear was about 1.5 meters long.
It plunged deeper into the beast's brain.
KRRRGH!!!
Its body convulsed as if it had been electrocuted, and it toppled backward.
'It's still not dead?'
To finish it off, I timed my jump for the moment it hit the ground. Then, I drove a kick straight into the eye socket where the spear was lodged.
SPLURCH!!!
My leg sank in deep, driving the spear through its brain. The beast stopped moving.
"Ugh, blood..."
There was no time.
The necklace was blinking, almost once a second.
I had to quickly retrieve my spear from its brain and get the loot...
'No, it's too big!!'
There was nothing I could take!
If it had a core or something, that would be one thing, but this ridiculously huge beast was just... ridiculously huge!
'Damn it, maybe this...'
The man-sized horn on its head.
I hacked at the horn with my spear, trying to break it off. But the horn was too hard; it wouldn't even budge. My spear felt like it was about to snap instead.
Blink, blink, blink...!
The necklace was vibrating urgently.
'Aah, no!!'
Blink, blink, blinkblinkblink!!!
In an instant, the necklace stopped blinking and bathed the area in a bright light.
Then it shot a beam of blue light straight into the sky.
'I'm screwed.'
The sky opened up, and a blue light enveloped me.
Just then, the adventurers and knights who had defeated the remaining ogres were gathered around, watching the scene unfold.
They had seen it all.
From the maid from Max's Inn displaying incredible martial skill to take down the giant ogre, to now, her ascension into the sky in a pillar of blue light.
"Ohh... is that her, the goddess?"
"The goddess... she's a real goddess!"
"The Goddess's Blessing... so she was a real goddess all along?"
"It's true! To think she was gracing us with her presence personally!"
"Eh....?"
Familiar faces.
The men I'd been... making cream pies with, the ones who had been panting and thrusting so spectacularly, were now looking at me as if in sudden realization.
'What the hell is going on...'
"We received the goddess's grace..."
"I did it with a goddess?"
"No wonder it felt unbelievably good..."
"Well, the honey beer was out of this world."
“Forget the honey beer, the cream pie was what was amazing!”
"W-Wait..."
Woooong!!!
A pillar of blue light descended from the sky and enveloped me, my body floating upward.
It was the ancient artifact's warp gate activating, but to anyone who didn't know, it looked exactly like a divine ascension.
'No, my loot!!'
I thought about throwing the necklace away, but I couldn't, afraid that it would ruin this trial.
'Ugh, goddess, my ass. I can't believe I'm leaving without a single thing.'
My body began to rise higher and higher.
'Sigh...'
It was no use.
I had already risen over three meters, high enough for everyone in the city to see me.
Just then, someone shouted.
"Goddess!! What is your name!!!"
I answered as I floated into the air. It would be a good chance to quell the real rumors about Kalisha, too.
"...Lee Do-hee. My name is Lee Do-hee."
I said my real name without thinking.
At that moment, I wasn't thinking straight, exhausted from the fight and pissed about not getting any loot. I'm sure my future self, if she exists, would have stopped me.
"L-Lee Do-hee?"
"Lidohei? It's hard to pronounce."
"Never heard of it...?"
Amidst the murmuring, someone else shouted loudly.
"What kind of god are you!!"
'What kind of god...? Hmm...'
I recalled the things I'd done since coming here.
Honey beer, fshhh fshhh.
Cream pie, thwack thwack thwack!!
Hngh~ I'm gonna cuuum!
Sloppy breeding presses, dizzying, ecstatic sex.
'......'
Certainly, the things I remembered weren't exactly normal.
"Um... I am the God of Breeding, Lee Do-hee."
I just recalled what I'd done and made something up on the spot.
Of course, I thought people wouldn't believe me.
But what do you know?
"Ooh...?"
"The G-God of Breeding?"
"It must be true. I slept with a god yesterday."
"Yes, I believe you. You must be the God of Breeding."
"Makes sense. Her tightness was divine, something you couldn't explain otherwise."
'They believe this? Maybe I shouldn't have said anything...'
The problem didn't end there.
[Ding~]
[You have acquired a Fragment of Divinity.]
[A new Trait will be activated.]
[The efficacy of Lee Do-hee's Lewd Divine Power increases.]
[Your Unique Trait will be enhanced.]
...
..
.
"Huh...?
'No way... No, already?'
Shwooooong!!!
Without even a moment to think, I was sucked up into the sky.
*
My body slowly descended from the sky.
'What, what just happened?'
I had a guess, so I decided to check what I'd just gotten later and focus on the current situation for a moment.
The three crown princess candidates, including myself, were slowly summoned. Waiting around us were several people, including the Crown Prince, the Prime Minister, the Lord of the Blue Magic Tower, and the Captain of the Knights.
I had just come from a fight, so my maid outfit was covered in blood.
The red-haired Kesira Hanover was a complete mess.
'What, did she really go experience life as a farmer?'
Her once-lustrous red hair was faded and brittle, and her skin was slightly tanned.
Seeing as she reeked of the foul stench of livestock manure, I guessed I was right.
Meanwhile, Elina's appearance was somewhat awkward.
'Is that... is she faking it?'
Standing next to the naturally disheveled Kesira, the contrast was even more stark.
How should I put it? It felt like she'd deliberately smeared dirt on her face.
Her face and hair were fresh and shiny, but her clothes and face had dirt on them as if it had just been intentionally sprinkled on. She looked like an actress in makeup for a movie role.
"Our dear Elina... are you alright?"
"Seeing her like this, she must have truly suffered."
"That bastard Prime Minister, where on earth did he send Elina!"
"Even with dirt on her, Elina is still beautiful."
But Elina's clique paid us no mind, busy worrying about her.
'Ugh...'
My eyes met Kesira's.
Her gaze was one of injustice, as if asking, 'Can you believe this shit?'
As for me, I was just going to skillfully endure it and go home, but...
"You son of a bitch!! How dare you fuck with me!!"
Kesira suddenly exploded.
'What, what's wrong?'
Where on earth did she go and what kind of hardship did she endure for the usually quiet Kesira to be cursing like this?
"This is your doing!! You damn Magic Tower Lord! Die!"
The enraged Kesira's fire magic... no.
She wiped the poop splattered on her face with her finger and charged towards the Lord of the Blue Magic Tower.
"Gaaah! The smell! What are you doing with that filthy thing, Lady Kesira!"
"Shut up! You take a whiff too. Do you have any idea what hell I went through! You son of a bitch!!"
“……”
They say the Blue Magic Tower and the Red Magic Tower have always been rivals.
The one who activated the warp gate this time was the Blue Tower Lord.
Kesira is the Vice Lord of the Red Magic Tower, so it made sense they'd be at odds.
'At least she's not shooting magic like she's trying to kill him.'
A deadly game of tag where getting caught meant getting smeared with poop. We all watched them play their little game of 'catch me if you can'.
A moment later, the situation calmed down after some poop was smeared on the Blue Tower Lord's fancy clothes, and the three of us candidates were questioned one by one, just as we were.
It was a simple question: where we went, what we did, and how we lived.
First up was Elina.
"I worked at a merchant company, making clothes from fabric. The needle pricks you see on my hand are proof of my hard work."
The tips of her fingers were wrapped in bandages.
Right... which meant you couldn't even tell if she was injured or not.
"Oh my... our dear Elina's delicate hands..."
"You've worked hard, Lady Elina."
But her followers sympathized as if they'd heard the most tragic story.
'If you were making clothes from fabric, why is there dirt on your face...?'
The fact that no one pointed out how strange it was was even creepier.
Next was my turn.
"I worked at an inn, waiting tables and handling the money. I also fought monsters that attacked near the Great Forest. This outfit and the blood on my body are the proof."
"Sounds like you had it easy."
"That was a total cakewalk."
“……”
'Damn them. They have no idea how hard it was to make those cream pies...'
Actually, it wasn't hard, I enjoyed it, but that's just me. A normal woman would have found it truly difficult.
Last was Kesira.
"Hoo... I worked in a stable, cleaning up the shit of filthy pigs. That damn farmer bastard worked me to the bone until the very last day. Likewise, this filthy shit is my proof. Would any of you like a whiff?"
"Ahem... No need. Send them home at once."
The Crown Prince gave a look, and the Prime Minister quickly wrapped things up.
"Your evaluations will be determined by comparing your statements with the reports from hidden supervisors to verify the truth. You have all worked hard. Another test will begin tomorrow, so please rest well today."
And so, our experience of civilian life came to an end.
*
'Haaah... I missed you, my mansion.'
Receiving a gentle shower from the maids in my mansion, I could really feel how hard the work I'd been doing was.
My head butler saw me return covered in blood and went on a rampage, vowing to get rid of the Prime Minister someday. It was a hassle to calm him down.
And finally, the time for just me—no, for me and my viewers—had returned.
"Ahem... Alright, everyone. Are you ready to see?"
- Whoa, what the hell did you get?
- Why don't I ever get events like that?
- You guys would just die if an event like that happened to you lol
- Do-hee, aren't you gonna sell us any cream pies?
- Oh right, you whore!
- Give us the cream pie, you bitch
"Ahem..."
Come to think of it, of course the viewers would have watched the process of my cream pies being made, live.
I suddenly felt embarrassed.
They must have heard all my embarrassing lines, too, right?
- ???
- You're blushing now?
- How dare you sell your body behind our backs?
- Aren't you just getting hot thinking about it?
- fr lol
[DoheeTunaSoDelicious has donated 50,000 won]
I'll buy Do-hee's cream pie! How much?
"Ah, it's not for sale, everyone... Now, stop it and let's take a look together."
There's no end to these guys' sexual harassment if I play along.
Enduring it moderately feels good to me too... No, why does it feel good?
Anyway, I played along just enough and opened my status window, which was flooded with notifications.
- Ugh, I feel like this is gonna be some eye-bleach material.
- She probably got some broken cheat again
- Wow, of course she gets something special again
- I'll be back later
"Uh... actually, I thought about... maybe not revealing this Trait. But I'll just reveal it."
- ???
- What is it?
- What
- Come to think of it, she's still revealing all her traits lol
- This is why I like Lee Do-hee. She doesn't hide anything.
- Everyone usually starts hiding them after the 20th floor fr, she's amazing
- Do you know what it is?
I knew what I got this time.
But this wasn't how you were supposed to get it, so should I say it was a bit out of the blue?
Anyway, I was also very confused, and I could predict the impact this would have on the public when it was revealed, but I would reveal it anyway.
'Honestly, it's been 15 years since the Tower appeared. It's about time this stuff started coming out.'
[Ding~]
First, I read it slowly from the beginning.
[Congratulations. You have acquired a Fragment of Divinity. The Path to Becoming the God of Breeding has been opened.]
[The Path to Becoming the God of Breeding]
You have now begun to walk the path of the God of Breeding.
Current Believers: 75
When your Unique Trait, Lewd Power, exceeds 10,000, you will obtain the 1st Authority.
(Currently held Authorities: None)
"Wait, hold on!!!"
'What the fuck, why is it the God of Breeding...?'
Don't tell me what I said as a joke earlier, 'God of Breeding', actually came true?
- Breeding God?
- Lee Do-hee is pretty sick at breeding, though
- God of Breeding my ass
- Wait, but is 'god' a real god? Or is this a joke?
A god.
The first thing that must be done is to obtain a Unique Trait.
Once you obtain your own Unique Trait and continue down that path, you can obtain a Fragment of Divinity.
Starting with obtaining a Fragment of Divinity, if you continue to grow stronger, you can perhaps become a god. Why perhaps? Because no one has actually achieved it.
I wanted to achieve it in my past life, but unfortunately, I was betrayed and killed not long after obtaining it.
In the past, I obviously knew this fact, but I didn't announce it because I predicted the repercussions would be too great.
Even now, it's one of the top secrets among the Great Guilds.
'But why did I get it so early...?'
Usually, one obtains a Unique Trait on the 50th floor and a Fragment of Divinity on the 70th floor.
Of course, even this is an extremely rare case.
Many people don't disclose it, but obtaining a Unique Trait even on the 50th floor is a very rare occurrence.
If you think about it, isn't it strange?
Many guilds, including the Great Guilds, have a structure where they funnel most resources into just one or two people.
There are cases where people are forced into it by preliminary contracts, but for the most part, it happens voluntarily.
Although there are cases where it's done because one person is strong, that's not usually the case.
It's because of this.
First, are they talented enough in something to obtain a Unique Trait?
If they show special talent, they send that person to the 50th floor by any means necessary.
And they obtained a Unique Trait? Then from that point on, they just have to suck the lifeblood of their fellow guild members and become as strong as possible.
A person with a Unique Trait is treated like someone who possesses a spiritual root.
Like that, while possessing a Unique Trait, they complete specific, different conditions and obtain a Fragment of Divinity on the 70th floor.
Of course, most people find it difficult to even get a Unique Trait on the 50th floor, let alone reach the 70th.
Even so, they're strong enough to lead a guild, so it's not a total loss.
Even now, in places like America and China, the trend is for almost all Tower conquests to be carried out by one or two of the strongest individuals. They've probably obtained Unique Traits or Fragments of Divinity as well.
However, the general public doesn't know this fact.
- This bitch is a god?
- lololololol
- This thing is a god?
- Oh for fuck's sake, system
- God of Breeding lol
- Bree-God~!
- How can a god's name be Breeding lol
- This bitch just likes breeding lol
"No... I, I got a Fragment of Divinity..."
The facts above are a secret of the world known only to the Great Guilds and high-level Awakeners past the 50th floor; my ordinary viewers knew nothing.
They thought the system was teasing and sexually harassing me again, so they were joining in with their own sexual harassment and teasing.
The situation rooms of the Great Guilds might be in a state of emergency right now, but the general public wasn't reacting as much as you'd think.
'Sigh, of course...'
Of course, from the viewers' perspective, it was hard to believe in the God of Breeding as a serious god.
It wasn't even on the 50th or 70th floor. Did it make sense to attain divinity just because someone suddenly said, 'I believe. You must be the God of Breeding'?
Everyone just thought it was some kind of joke event reward.
But for me, it was a little different.
In the past, I thought the purpose of the Tower was this.
To gradually find one's own essence and become a god that matches it.
'Wait, so my essence is... breeding? I'm so screwed. Damn it... can't I delete this Trait?'
Unfortunately, in reality, there's no character deletion or skill reset ticket!
That's right.
Now... whether I like it or not, I must walk the path of becoming the God of Breeding!
Lee Do-hee's essence is breeding!
I was born to breed!
No take-backs!
I couldn't take back my own words.
"Aaaaaaaargh!!! Why this kind of Trait!"
I probably wouldn't have been given a Fragment of Divinity just for misspeaking.
It must have been a combination of my actions befitting my Unique Trait and the earnest desires of the cream pie 'customers' who genuinely believed in and prayed to me.
The giant ogre might have been a basic combat power test.
The system probably judged that I was qualified enough to obtain a Fragment of Divinity and become the God of Breeding.
- Lmao, she worked so hard to clear the event, and...
- Event Reward: Sexual Harassment lol
- It doesn't even give any traits?
- fr, it's a god in name only, didn't even give any skills lol
- No wonder she looked like she was dying of pleasure during the breeding press
- This bitch is just the God of Onaholes
- Bree-God
"Hoo... No, everyone. I haven't finished reading the status window yet. Just you wait."
I'm sure if I scrolled down the status window, my Traits would have changed into something awesome.
Probably...?
