Chapter 674: I'm Trying to Terminate My Contract with the Goddess, but She's Obsessed [R-18] (20)
I lightly sliced through Typhon's serpentine tail as it stretched down from the sky.
"You cheap bastard. Just because you took a few hits, you're gonna fly up there and only use ranged attacks?"
The creature's massive torso was already a mess of wounds I had inflicted. Black fluid streamed from them, but the wounds were still regenerating.
Its destructive power was undeniably immense, but perhaps because it was a replica with no intelligence, its attack patterns were far too simple.
Honestly, as long as I don't take a direct hit, it's not even that threatening.
I read Typhon's clumsy movements a beat ahead and dodged them. It wasn't difficult to predict the trajectory of its attacks.
As I toyed with it, the creature finally fled high into the sky, where it repeatedly spat poison and swung its tail, sticking to ranged harassment.
"Scared?"
It spewed a wide-ranging cloud of poison mist from above. The potent venom had completely devastated the surrounding forest.
Trees, grass, and even other monsters that happened to be passing by all sizzled and melted the moment the poison touched them, leaving not even bones behind.
The poison is definitely dangerous.
I had originally planned to take it down with close-quarters combat, but I had no choice if it was going to be a coward and not come down from the sky.
While avoiding the poison cloud as best I could, I countered its ranged attacks with blasts of sword energy of my own.
The successive waves of sword energy tore Typhon's body to shreds. I was dishing out attacks faster and more frequently than its tail could regenerate.
"Grrrrrr..."
I could see its regeneration speed gradually slowing. It seemed to be running out of stamina from the continuous damage.
Time for a flashy finish.
I sheathed my sword and assumed a drawing stance. I put my right foot forward, placed my left hand on the scabbard, and my right hand on the hilt.
There was no such form in the Moon Shadow Sky Sword Dance, but I had just made it up.
I focused all my internal energy into the sword Danya had made for me. A blue light began to leak from within the scabbard. The energy was so intense I could feel the blade's presence through the sheath.
Sensing the danger, Typhon began to spew its poison mist even more violently. But it was too late.
I focused my internal energy into my legs. Then, I kicked off the ground and leaped high into the air, meeting Typhon at its own altitude.
Fear flickered in the eyes of the creature as we faced each other in mid-air.
Moon Shadow Sky Sword Dance - One Flash
A massive blue sword force tore through the sky, instantly piercing Typhon. The force passed through its body and sliced through everything else in its path.
The creature's enormous body began to split precisely in half. As if in slow motion, the two halves separated and began to plummet from the sky.
I landed gracefully on the ground.
CRASH!
Typhon's massive body hit the earth, causing a tremendous tremor. The surrounding trees shook to their roots, and startled birds took flight.
Then, Typhon's corpse slowly began to dissolve into particles of light.
Ting!
[Gold-Grade 'Typhon's Replica' defeated!]
[500 Points Acquired!]
[Current Points: 750/1000]
Thinking about the broadcast that was surely airing, I deliberately put on an indifferent expression, flicked my sword once, and slid it back into its scabbard.
Then, as if I had just dealt with something trivial, I turned and walked away with a leisurely stride.
Fucking charismatic.
I only needed 500 more points to automatically advance to the next round. But I didn't think there was any need to hunt further.
This should be more than enough publicity.
I looked around, checking for the presence of other participants. No one had come this way yet. It was only natural. The area had been completely devastated by my fight with Typhon.
Shall I wrap this up?

"Ahaha, Jin Seo-yun totally struck a pose on purpose just now, right? Boop!"
Danya, still in her bunny girl outfit, clutched her stomach laughing next to Verdandi.
"Fufu, isn't he just adorable?"
In contrast to the two goddesses' relaxed atmosphere, the other gods were in a state of shock.
"My goodness... to defeat Typhon so easily, even if it was a replica..."
"...The strongest of this generation will likely be that man."
"We'd better get on Verdandi's good side, don't you think?"
"Ahem, thankfully I haven't offended her yet... There might be a chance... If I'm lucky, maybe I could even become his second..."
A group of friendly lower-ranking gods whispered amongst themselves, their gazes fixed on Verdandi and Danya.
And there was one god who watched them with an indifferent expression.
How dare they... my contractor...
Chiwoo Cheonwang. He recalled his contractor, Park Seong-jun, who had been eliminated by Jin Seo-yun's final attack.
That fool, getting eliminated at the very end... Useless bastard.
He hadn't recouped any of his investment this time.
I suppose I'll have to accept their offer.
He couldn't touch the man openly. The participants were under the protection of the host gods during the survival period. Therefore... he would use those who wouldn't get caught to take care of him. That was Chiwoo Cheonwang's plan.
Meanwhile, elsewhere...
"Hah♡ I want that man even more now."
Aphrodite licked her lips, her face flushed as she stared at the man on the screen.
Watching her, Freya found herself agreeing.
If only I had that man...
She wanted him. His elegant swordsmanship that cut down Typhon, his unshakable composure in the face of danger, and the leisurely air he displayed at the end.
Everything about him made him the perfect man for her.
He's wasted on Verdandi... I can make him shine brighter.
But he had rejected her before, so making the same offer would only result in another rejection. Yet, she didn't want to swallow her pride, bow her head to Verdandi, and become his second.
Me, a second? It's first or nothing...
Freya clenched her fists. As the goddess of love and beauty, she couldn't imagine standing behind anyone.
"Freya?"
Idun asked with concern.
"Idun, could I ask you for a favor?"
"It's not a strange favor, is it?"
"Not at all. It's a very small one."
Verdandi listened to their conversation and smiled quietly.
Master... you're so popular.
On the screen, Jin Seo-yun was strolling leisurely through the forest, hunting other monsters. Whenever he saw a beautiful woman, he'd occasionally hit on them.

Having cleared the first round in a single day, Danya offered to treat me to something delicious to celebrate. I followed her, along with Verdandi.
It was a famous traditional Korean restaurant, and the quality and taste of the food were all superb.
Just watching Verdandi, a known food lover, eat with such abandon was enough to tell how delicious it was.
"This place is run by a god, so the quality of the cooking is outstanding. Boop. Not just anyone can eat here, though. Boop."
Danya speaking so proudly in her bunny girl outfit was a bit funny, but it seemed she had decided to enjoy it rather than be embarrassed.
"Thank you, Danya! The food is really delicious!" Verdandi said, her mouth full.
"That's gross. Boop. Swallow what's in your mouth before you speak. Boop."
"Munch munch... Okay!" Verdandi replied, hastily swallowing her food.
"What about you, Jin Seo-yun? Boop. Do you like it? Boop."
"It's delicious. It's been a while since I've had food this good."
"Right? Boop. Thanks to your performance today, my sword got a ton of publicity. Boop. That scene where you cut down Typhon in one shot was a true work of art. Boop."
"You're exaggerating."
"I'm not! Boop. Thanks to you, my company is doing great right now. Boop."
"Is there a bonus?"
"Hehe, I'll give you a hefty one. Boop."
"I'll look forward to it."
"Also, the auction date has been set. Boop."
"When is it?"
"Next Saturday. Boop."
"Today's Wednesday, so there's still plenty of time."
"And here, I've exchanged the jewels you asked me to sell into the auction's exclusive currency for you. Boop."
Danya held out a small card.
"Thanks."
"I'll go with you on the day of the auction, too. Boop. There are a few items I'm interested in. Boop."
"Alright. Then contact me on the day."
After parting with Danya and returning home, I immediately sat on the sofa and pulled Verdandi onto my lap by her waist. She had changed up her style today, with a ponytail, a short skirt, and even black stockings.
It was tough holding back all day.
With one hand, I pressed down firmly on her waist, forcing her to bend over. Then, I lifted her skirt and pulled her panties down to her ankles.
"Verdandi, spread your pussy yourself."
"Yes, Master...♡"
Her fingers went down to her pussy, and two of them spread her lips wide.
I slowly rubbed my cock over her already slick entrance.
Squelch, squish...
"Ah, haahng...♡"
"Now, Verdandi. What do you have to do if you want my cock?"
Verdandi's face was already flushed as she spread her thighs even wider on her own.
"Please punish this bitch's womb... with Master's cock♡"
"Good girl."
I stroked her head once, then pulled her hair. Immediately, I pushed my cock into her spread-open pussy.
SQUELCH!
The feeling of her vaginal walls enveloping my cock.
"Ooooh... Master's... cock...♡"
I slowly pushed deeper, prodding the entrance to her womb with the head of my cock.
"This bitch's pussy is warm again today. It feels so good."
"Thank you...♡"
With one hand holding her waist firmly, I used the other to roughly slap her ass as I thrust my hips.
Slap, slap, slap, slap!
"Nngh♡ Hah...♡ Master, please press against my womb a little harder... Ahh♡ Right there...♡ It feels so good♡"
Verdandi's sweet moans echoed through the living room.

After a light round of sex, my mind felt clear. I found a spot in the middle of the spacious room and sat in the lotus position.
As I began to breathe slowly, the worldly thoughts and distractions in my mind vanished as if they were a lie.
Today, my mind was clearer and calmer than ever before. All the noisy thoughts settled down one by one, like stones sinking in water.
Before I knew it, I was approaching a state of perfect mindlessness, completely free of extraneous thoughts.
And as I felt Verdandi's touch, I also felt an energy similar to divine power settling within me.
While I'm at it, I should try moving my divine power.
This time, I focused my consciousness on the power called divine power, which I had never tried to move before.
It definitely exists within me...
The Disaster Management Bureau's measuring device had certainly reacted to it. The problem was, it didn't listen to me in the slightest.
Without getting impatient, I tried gently coaxing the divine power, and I tried to let my internal energy seep into it.
But it remained as unmoving as a rock.
What in the world do I have to do to move this...?
An idea suddenly came to me.
I had felt that my sense of divine power had become clearer than before after having sex with Verdandi. So, if I had relations with other gods, I might be able to use divine power.
Just then, Verdandi asked in a soft voice from beside me.
"What is the path you wish to walk?"
The path I wish to walk... My goal... Is she asking about my direction in life?
It was a question I had never seriously considered.
Honestly, since getting the Libido App, all I had done was enjoy having sex.
The only reason I got stronger was to fuck more women.
What is the path I wish to walk...?
In that moment, the faces of the countless women I had fucked flashed through my mind, the feel of each different pussy, and the images of the many beauties I had yet to conquer.
A primal desire filled my mind, so strong that it threatened to shatter my mirror-like tranquility.
Honestly, other than having sex with women for the rest of my life, having lots of kids, and making all the heroines from other fictional worlds mine... nothing else really comes to mind...
Then, Verdandi continued, her gaze seeming to pierce right through me.
"First, you must find your own essence. And you must find what you have lost. No one can give you that answer. You, Seo-yun, must find it for yourself."
Her voice echoed in my head like the deep toll of a bell.
Essence... What is my essence... Just beautiful women, sex, pleasure, and... desire. Isn't that me?
But as I mulled over Verdandi's words, I felt there was a deeper meaning to them.
I delved deeper into my inner self.
'...'
The deeper my thoughts went, the more I fell into a state of self-annihilation, a strange sensation spreading through me as if my body were floating in a void.
Is there really a need to rack my brain thinking about my essence and the path I must walk?
Life is a one-time thing anyway. Luck, opportunity—they aren't fair to everyone. Now that a cheat-like ability such as the Libido App is in my hands, all I have to do is enjoy it.
There's no need to think so hard. I just have to live and enjoy things as they are.
At that moment, I felt something inexplicable become clearer.
It's not that my level has risen. But... this is my soul? The texture of my existence? Something more fundamental...
I focused my consciousness more on that unknowable sensation.
My consciousness sank deeper and deeper, as if into a bottomless pit. Just as I was reaching a state of self-annihilation, I felt a strangely grating sensation from deep within me.
An unpleasant sensation, as if a foreign object was embedded in my very soul.
What is this?
