Chapter 132
Chapter 132.
"Yeah. Since you wasn't getting up, I was watching some TV."
Crunch, Crunch.
She who was eating potato chips.
"It's okay, right? Between us."
Now she was asking for the homeowner's consent.
"......What do you mean between us?"
"Hmm. Between the Heavenly Demon and the Divine Maiden? Ah, then are we enemies?"
While saying that, Yoo Doa.
"But do sweet potatoes really work......?"
While continuing to eat potato chips.
She turned her gaze back to the TV screen.
"Constipated?"
"Can you just say that the thing that needs to come out is being disobedient and rebellious instead?"
"Right."
"Do you really want to confirm that?"
Yoo Doa glared at Lee Ganghan sharply and got up from the sofa.
"But did you watch that video from last time?"
"What. The one where you made me into the Heavenly Demon?"
"Yeah. So you did watch it?"
Satisfied with Lee Ganghan's answer, she nodded and said.
"Then you should thank this big sister first, right?"
She had suddenly started calling herself big sister.
Compared to his 190cm height, she who didn't even reach the average height of adult women was acting proud, making Lee Ganghan frown.
"Why? In the end, you refused to become the Heavenly Demon."
"Still, you're doing well now, so shouldn't you be grateful to me?"
Yoo Doa who desperately wanted to hear words of gratitude.
To continue the conversation.
It seemed like he had to say thank you to this woman who had trespassed into his house.
"Well...... Yeah, thanks."
When Lee Ganghan reluctantly said so.
"Somehow your answer sounds like you're prostrating to receive praise?"
"Then don't listen to my thanks."
"Tch. Fine."
Crunch, Crunch.
Yoo Doa poured all the potato chips into her mouth.
"But why are you here?"
"I came to take care of the Heavenly Demon as a Divine Maiden."
"Me?"
"Yeah."
Swoosh.
Then Yoo Doa got up from the sofa.
As she slowly walked toward Lee Ganghan.
Swish, swish, swish......
A long sword suddenly appeared in her right hand.
'Is that the Demon-Conquering Heavenly Ascension Blade?'
The sword looked too long for the small-framed Yoo Doa to use.
While the sword tip barely avoided dragging on the ground.
She approached Lee Ganghan.
"Even though you suffered such fatal injuries, your mind seems perfectly fine."
"Well, I learned a lot in the process."
"Ordinary people aren't like that. Regeneration with Divine Power isn't omnipotent either."
Yoo Doa spoke in an unusually serious tone.
Did she know something about Divine Power?
'She definitely has a lot of information.'
When Lee Ganghan thought so.
Yoo Doa looked toward his hair.
"Son Goku's hair is too disgusting. It's like earthworms that have grown unnecessarily long and thick."
"Calling hair earthworms is a bit harsh."
"What can I do if that's how it looks? Heavenly Demon, do you want to become a Beautiful Monkey Tribe member?"
What was she talking about?
Did she ask if he wanted to become a Beautiful Monkey Tribe member?
"No. I have no intention at all."
"If you become Son Ojeong, you might live the rest of your life comfortably, you know? If Son Goku is active in the front, you can live comfortably in the Beautiful Monkey Tribe world. Besides, compared to humanity which is last in the Reserve League, the Beautiful Monkey Tribe is much more stable."
If he could just endure becoming a monkey.
He could live luxuriously in the Beautiful Monkey Tribe world as a close associate favored by Son Goku.
And with the Beautiful Monkey Tribe's ranking, there would be no worry about extinction.
His anxiety about the future would also disappear greatly.
But.
"Still, I have no intention."
Lee Ganghan firmly answered that he would not become a Beautiful Monkey Tribe member.
"Why? Because you don't want to become a monkey?"
"Well, there's that too, but abandoning the world where my family, friends, and acquaintances all live and running away alone doesn't suit my temperament."
"Really? Then you're staying here?"
Whether Lee Ganghan's answer pleased her.
Yoo Doa smiled and said.
"Then I'll tidy up that monkey brat's hair for you."
"You're going to cut this......?"
"Yeah."
Swish, swish, swoosh.
The sound of a sword being drawn from its sheath.
Sizzle......!
Along with a burning sound from his head area.
He felt Son Goku's hair being cut.
'Wait, when did she draw the sword and cut it......?'
Even for Lee Ganghan whose level had risen considerably from fighting Son Goku.
Yoo Doa's sword was completely invisible.
Swish......
When she sheathed the sword again.
Thud......!
Son Goku's hair fell to the floor and.
Wriggle, Wriggle.
It moved like a living creature.
"Ugh. Disgusting. It really looks like a giant earthworm."
Yoo Doa frowned at the sight.
Despite cutting people's necks so casually, she dislikes this kind of thing.
"That earthworm, why don't you try storing it in your inventory anyway? It might be useful somewhere."
"Son Goku's hair?"
"Yeah. You should collect things like that first."
Right.
It wouldn't hurt to keep it for now.
Lee Ganghan grabbed the wriggling hair to put it in his inventory.
Then.
[You have acquired the installation 'Son Goku's True Hair'.]
A message appeared saying he had acquired an installation.
Swish, swish, swish......
Son Goku's hair disappeared without a trace.
'An installation...... Can this be placed in Ten Thousand Demon Battle?'
Next time he goes to Ten Thousand Demon Battle.
He should try installing both the tower and the hair.
When Lee Ganghan was thinking so while looking at the message.
"Huh? But your hair......"
Yoo Doa started speaking while looking at Lee Ganghan's hair.
"It looks like you got highlights."
"Highlights?"
"Yeah. Look in the mirror."
Following Yoo Doa's words, when he looked in the mirror.
Part of his hair where Son Goku's hair had been embedded was dyed brown.
'Well...... I've never dyed my hair in my life.'
It ended up like this because of Son Goku.
Pluck.
When he tried pulling out a dyed hair strand.
Swoosh!
Hair immediately regrew from his scalp.
The plucked hair had changed to black.
"Anyway, Son Goku...... His ability is good. It seems the influence of the hair that took root earlier manifests like that."
Yoo Doa, who had been watching from behind.
Looked at Lee Ganghan's head intently.
"To remove the cause, it seems like we'd have to dig all the way to the skull......"
"......What. Don't tell me you're going to split my head with that sword?"
"......"
She who had been silently looking at his head at Lee Ganghan's question.
With a disappointed expression.
Swish.
She sheathed the sword that he hadn't even noticed when she had drawn it again.
"No matter what, a Divine Maiden can't split the Heavenly Demon's head. You'll have to overcome the rest yourself."
"Right. Good thinking."
At least she maintains some basic principles.
When Lee Ganghan thought so, having avoided the danger of his head being split.
Yoo Doa spoke up.
"Then shall we get to the main point?"
"Main point?"
Wasn't cutting Son Goku's hair the main point?
When Lee Ganghan had such doubts.
"How about giving up on this Transcendent vote?"
Yoo Doa brought up the main topic.
***
"The Transcendent vote?"
"Yeah."
The Transcendent vote.
Even without Yoo Doa's words.
Actually, Lee Ganghan himself had been contemplating whether to participate in the vote or not.
'When Divine Power reaches 10, I'll definitely become a Transcendent, so I wondered if there was really a need to take up a spot early.'
Considering humanity's current player level.
It would be better to have 2 Transcendents rather than 1.
So let another player become one through voting.
And he would become a Transcendent by gathering Divine Power - wouldn't that be the best approach?
However,
"What's the reason?"
For Yoo Doa to trespass into his house and bring up 'giving up the Transcendent vote' as her main topic.
Lee Ganghan was curious about her thoughts.
"A Transcendent who is elevated without sufficient power is nothing more than a plaything for other Transcendents."
"A plaything......?"
"Yeah. They thoroughly toy with unqualified newcomers. Heavenly Demon, you're not at the level to become a Transcendent yet. You know that too, right?"
Lee Ganghan nodded at those words.
Compared to the Transcendents he had met so far, his skills were still far lacking.
"I see. But wouldn't there be benefits to becoming a Transcendent?"
"There would be benefits. But ultimately, that position requires proof. If a player without the basics goes up, they'll be thoroughly manipulated by other Transcendents."
There are definitely gains from being selected as a Transcendent.
But the risk of going up without sufficient skills and being ruined by other Transcendents is greater.
However,
"How do you know all this?"
"Me? Well, I."
"Not becoming the Heavenly Demon and all...... Did you try it beforehand or something?"
At Lee Ganghan's question, Yoo Doa.
Tapped her mouth with her hand.
"My mouth is itching, but that's a question I can't answer right now."
"If it's itching, why don't you just say it?"
"Ah. I can't. My ability will disappear."
If she speaks, her ability will disappear?
'Is she also connected to the system somehow?'
Previously, the Goblin Chief also died after giving spoilers.
There must be something the Tower system controls.
When Lee Ganghan thought so.
"Hmm. Yeah. Just know this much. I know everything because I'm a Divine Maiden!"
Yoo Doa gave him a completely unconvincing explanation.
"The Divine Maiden I know was full of things she didn't know."
"Who?"
"There is one, a ghost-like Divine Maiden."
"Huh? That sounds like someone I know......"
Did she immediately think of someone at the mention of being ghost-like?
Yoo Doa suddenly lowered her voice.
"By any chance, is it the person who covers her face with hair and appears like a virgin ghost?"
"Yeah. Do you know her?"
"Hmm...... Never mess with that person, be politely respectful. Don't forget to use extreme honorifics either. Got it?"
Yoo Doa, who was always confident.
Her cautious and respectful demeanor was quite unfamiliar.
But now.
Is she talking about 'Divine Maiden Ghost' Cheon Seran?
Lee Ganghan decided to confirm right away.
"The person you're talking about, is it Divine Maiden Ghost Cheon Seran?"
"Cheon Seran? No, it's Yoo Seran-nim."
"The system showed her as Cheon."
"Huh? That can't be......"
At Lee Ganghan's words, Yoo Doa made a puzzled expression.
"The reason I'm also Yoo is because I took Yoo Seran-nim's surname."
"Really?"
"Yeah. But Cheon...... Huh. Hmm. That's strange......? Isn't something wrong?"
Yoo Doa tilted her head several times.
"Anyway, that person is the strongest in the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect, so you must never go against her......"
She warned Lee Ganghan in a serious voice.
'Cheon Seran is that powerful?'
Certainly compared to when he first met her.
While conquering the First Tower, he had felt that the Divine Maiden Ghost was no ordinary being.
And when summoning her from the Heavenly Mandate Tower in Ten Thousand Demon Battle.
Seeing that the summoning cost for 'Last Divine Maiden Cheon Seran' was 999 million TP.
She didn't seem like an ordinary person.
'Still, the strongest in the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect...... That's unexpected.'
Come to think of it, in the First Tower, the Divine Maiden Ghost did teach martial arts well.
But is that enough to be called the strongest?
Lee Ganghan tilted his head, but.
"Let's stop talking about that person here......"
"Alright."
Since Yoo Doa was reluctant to mention the Divine Maiden Ghost further.
He couldn't continue this topic.
"Then I have to leave soon, you know? If you have questions, ask just one."
Yoo Doa said she had to leave soon but kindly offered to answer a question.
Sometimes she's really considerate, isn't she?
"About my mother......"
Lee Ganghan immediately asked what he was curious about.
"I can't answer that."
Yoo Doa immediately cut off the question Lee Ganghan was most curious about.
She won't answer about his mother after all.
'I need to ask a question I can get an answer to.'
Lee Ganghan thought so and asked something he had been curious about before.
"Why don't you do activities?"
"Me?"
"A skilled person like you, if you were active as a player, you would have achieved several accomplishments. But your name isn't known at all."
"Ah. I can answer that."
Yoo Doa simply answered the question.
"I can't enter towers."
"You can't enter......?"
"Yeah. There are circumstances. If I could enter, I would have taken half the achievements you accomplished, right?"
Right.
With Yoo Doa's skills, she would have achieved several accomplishments.
Her cutting hair with the sword earlier was so skilled that he couldn't notice it at all.
But she can't enter towers yet can use abilities.
'Are there such cases?'
When Lee Ganghan was amazed by Yoo Doa's story.
"Well, instead I can use player abilities, so I've taken control of North Korea. Leave the Elf Tower to me."
"......What? North Korea?"
She brought up a completely unexpected topic.
