Chapter 157
Chapter 157.
"Great Emperor Mike……?"
Buddle, Buddle.
While listening to Lee Ganghan's words 'Great Emperor Mike' being automatically translated by TowerTube.
Mike's hand holding the wine glass trembled uncontrollably.
'That owl…… it shouldn't be such a good item……!'
Owl of Twilight.
This was an item obtained with an extremely low probability of getting SSS grade among the equipment rewards that randomly appear when clearing Diamond towers.
Since it was the first SSS grade item he had ever obtained as a 'reward' while living as a player.
Mike had made many efforts in various ways to unseal the owl.
But that damn owl would fly away like a ghost no matter how he tried to equip it.
And it would turn golden in mid-air and return to his inventory.
So it was eventually judged as a shit item and left neglected in one corner of his inventory.
But.
The seal that wouldn't break no matter what he did.
Was it unlocked so easily like that?
"Is this…… a dream? Yeah, did I drink too much? Right. Hey, this is a dream, right?"
"……."
While Mike looked at his secretary with glistening eyes.
The secretary kept his head deeply bowed and gave no response.
Of course, even Mike who asked knew this was reality.
With a heavily distorted face.
Swoosh!
He threw the wine glass.
"Hah……! No, wasn't Heavenly Demon supposed to be like an Eastern demon? Why does that damn goddess Athena acknowledge that bastard instead of me?"
"Unless Heavenly Demon speaks up, we won't be able to know the reason."
"Ha. Do I have to keep watching that fucking thing?!"
He was happy when Lee Ganghan made his support declaration.
But seeing him utilize the Owl of Twilight completely changed Mike's attitude 180 degrees, and while the secretary just bowed his head.
[You want me to add King God too? Hmm…… that's too long. But if that becomes a shoutout, I'll do it once. King God Great Emperor Mike?]
On the screen, Heavenly Demon was calmly giving another tribute comment to Mike.
"What's King God Great Emperor again! Fucking shit!"
While listening to the automatically translated shoutout comment, Mike's face turned bright red.
Snicker.
One of the bodyguards behind couldn't help but laugh.
Then.
Swoosh!
Mike glared at the bodyguard behind with glistening eyes.
"Hey, what, did you just laugh?! In this situation?"
"Ah. That's……."
"Get out right now! You're fired today!"
Mike stood up from his seat and kept pointing his finger while repeatedly saying "You're fired."
"Please leave for now."
"Ah. I'm sorry……."
At the secretary's instruction, that bodyguard bowed deeply and quickly left the home theater.
While Mike didn't stop cursing as he watched the leaving bodyguard.
'Phew…… I'm glad I thought of my mother who passed away.'
The secretary watching this praised himself internally for not laughing.
His lips had been twitching since 'Great Emperor'.
Later when King God was added too, a crisis came, so it was hard forcing himself to think sad thoughts.
"Should I turn off TowerTube? I'll separately look into the method for unsealing."
"Yeah, turn it off right now!"
Mike instructed to turn off the screen immediately at the secretary's words.
Crash!
Not only the wine glass but also bottles were thrown around everywhere.
"Aaaaahhh……!!!"
He was expressing his anger.
"Just wait and see, Heavenly Demon……. Once I become a Transcendent…… I'll definitely repay today's humiliation!!!"
Mike kept saying to wait and see after becoming a Transcendent.
Even revealing his vengeful feelings toward Heavenly Demon.
But.
'Regardless of the Owl of Twilight, didn't Heavenly Demon definitely give the support declaration, so isn't that enough?'
The owl was ultimately unusable due to Mike's lack of ability.
In the end, he did everything as requested, didn't he?
Of course Heavenly Demon was a bit provocative.
But they were the first to give an SSS grade item known as a shit item on this side.
If you think about it calmly.
The secretary couldn't understand why Mike was so completely enraged.
Still.
'Well, when he's in such an angry state, would such words work?'
To receive his salary, there was no need to list facts to the deranged Mike.
The secretary thought so while.
"I'll call people for cleaning."
"Yeah…… go ahead!"
He left the home theater.
Then he entered Lee Ganghan's TowerTube with his phone and looked around.
'Wow. He's taking out the ring?'
Worried that the Owl of Twilight might be too useless.
The scene of him taking out the 'Ring of Fortitude' that the government had separately prepared was appearing.
***
-What's the ring?
-Didn't you say they also gave an S grade accessory earlier? Is that it?
-It seems like the US side originally included the ring together worried that the Owl of Twilight might be useless ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Lee Ganghan nodded after seeing the chat.
"Yes. It's an S grade accessory given together by the US. It has the effect of raising stamina, so my stamina stat will probably become 20 now."
-Wow... hitting 20 again ㄷㄷ
-Then only agility and mana are left;
-The owl not taking up an accessory slot is really the best in times like this ㅋㅋㅋ
-But aren't there originally no additional stat effects on weapons or armor? Can't you just equip those?
-Originally only accessories have them yep
-The owl that raises mana by 2 even after changing to armor is special
The additional stat effects originally only attached to accessories.
But the Owl of Twilight could enjoy the mana +2 effect even after changing to armor.
Just this alone was worth giving SSS grade.
'The petrification ability, well, there's still a lot to verify.'
The power of petrification that turned bullets into stone and dropped them.
But whether it's effective against strong enemies.
What the petrification range is, nothing has been clearly revealed yet.
'It's also disappointing that it can only be used once every 10 minutes.'
After using petrification earlier.
★☆The Power of Petrification can be used once every 10 minutes★☆
★☆Time shortened to 1 minute when selecting a constellation★☆
Athena's advertisement message that kept recycling the same lines changed subtly.
While informing about the cooltime of the petrification power, it emphasized that the time is reduced to 1/10th when selecting a constellation.
For Athena, she had informed one more merit of being a patron constellation.
'I can't give up Heavenly Demon Constitution because of the petrification power.'
This didn't shake Lee Ganghan's heart at all.
In the end, the core of the 'Owl of Twilight' is mana +2.
'The function unlocked by the 3rd stage seal release, Goddess's Advice seems rather bad…….'
Why does it like those black stars and white stars so much?
Twin stars that appear in every message without fail.
Lee Ganghan naturally ignored Athena's advertisement messages.
'I should try hitting stamina 20.'
He put on the Ring of Fortitude taken out from inventory.
Then.
[Stat 'Stamina' has reached 20.]
[Stat 20 is the limit value mortals can reach.]
[Player has reached the realm of gods.]
[Divine Power +1 is given.]
Same as with strength.
Divine power given upon reaching the realm of gods.
'This makes divine power 7. I can definitely secure up to +4 divine power through stats.'
Since it was confirmed that divine power rises for each stat.
If agility and mana also reach 20, divine power could rise up to 9.
'Then…… I could really reach divine power 10 soon?'
Even before obtaining the Owl of Twilight.
Mana 20 seemed difficult so I excluded it from calculations.
But thanks to Mike, even mana became possible.
'I want to thank him once more.'
When Lee Ganghan smiled with satisfaction.
[You can strengthen 'Stamina' using stat 'Divine Power'.]
Like with strength.
A message appeared saying stamina could also be strengthened using divine power.
'It was hard to get a feel for strength too…… stamina is even harder to grasp.'
Should I take some attacks to get a feel for it?
While Lee Ganghan pondered about how to utilize stamina.
-Did divine power go up?
-If it definitely goes up this time too, that would be jackpot ㅋㅋㅋ
-Then you could really become a Transcendent soon ㅇㅇ
Chat inquiring whether divine power went up this time too appeared in the chat window.
"Yes. It goes up one by one. If all stats become 20, I could secure up to 9 divine power."
-Wow 9 ㄷㄷㄷ
-Then you just need to get 1 more divine power to become Transcendent?!
-Mana originally didn't look easy but thanks to King God Great Emperor Mike...
-Heavenly Demon's love is indeed Mike ㅠㅠㅠ
-Wow the US gave too much; the Korean government should also get accessories to support Heavenly Demon Lord!
-Really, Should we be pushed back by America?
Now that becoming a Transcendent really came within sight.
Viewers showing enthusiastic reactions.
Stories about Korea needing to get agility or mana raising accessories also appeared frequently.
"Mike also gave 10 million dollars in support funds, so I think accessories can be obtained quickly."
Lee Ganghan answered lightly.
-???
-10 million dollars?
-No, how far will Mike go... ㅠㅠ
-Until now I jokingly called him King God Great Emperor Mike but now I'm slowly getting serious...
-I'm voting for number 1 right now... Mike's sincerity moved my heart...
-When he's giving this much, I really can't not vote for number 1;
At the shocking support of SSS grade item + S grade accessory + 10 million dollars.
Viewers were genuinely amazed.
'Looking at it this way, I did receive a lot.'
I should vote right away too, shouldn't I?
Lee Ganghan opened the system window and immediately cast one vote for Mike.
While doing so.
"I was originally planning to vote after finishing tower climbing, but I received too much benefit so I voted right away. Everyone please make sure to exercise your voting rights."
He even gave another encouraging comment.
'This should be everything I need to do regarding the election.'
If he's not elected Transcendent even after this, that's Mike's fault.
Lee Ganghan decided to lose interest in the election now.
"Then I'll end the expressions of gratitude toward Mike here, and slowly get going."
He decided to focus on tower climbing again.
-Is the Mike spinning over? ㅋㅋㅋ
-Now you have to go to your main job hehe
-But aren't you summoning Cerberus today? You didn't catch the kobold
-That's right, you only destroyed robots
Earlier, even after using the power of petrification.
Lee Ganghan had eliminated the robot that kept shooting from above the fortress with Heaven-Breaking Meteor Palm because it was bothersome.
But the kobold hiding underground.
He hadn't caught it yet while putting on the Ring of Fortitude and answering viewers' questions.
'I'll test stamina on the upper floor, but first I should catch the kobold.'
Lee Ganghan put on Hades' helmet, Quiene.
Then his outfit immediately changed to a black suit.
[Stamina has reached 20.]
[Hades' seal is partially released.]
[King of the Dead's Robe defense increases, and will now block instant death damage 2 times.]
A message appeared saying Hades' seal was partially unlocked.
'The test I took when obtaining Quiene was deeply related to stamina…… now that stamina is 20, the seal is partially unlocked.'
The test in the 'Domain of Death' that I took when obtaining Quiene.
Originally, stamina needed to be 20 to pass that test.
[Player who has died over 3,000 times.]
[The energy of death recognizes the player as kin.]
[Stamina requirement is lowered by 1.]
Thanks to dying countless times in Heavenly Demon Valley being counted.
Didn't I obtain Hades' helmet, Quiene.
'I've finally met the stat requirement from that time.'
Lee Ganghan thought so while examining the King of the Dead's Robe.
Though defense increased, the black suit showed no visible change.
'I'll have to take attacks to know the change.'
Stamina 20 too.
There's a lot that needs to be tested by getting hit.
When Lee Ganghan thought so and loosened his tie to throw it on the ground.
"Woof! Woof!"
Sssss…….
Cerberus popped out from the ground dyed pitch black.
Though Hades' seal was partially released.
It didn't seem to apply to Cerberus, as he was still similar in size to a small dog.
"Can you find the kobold?"
At Lee Ganghan's request.
Cerberus nodded and instantly dug the ground, then brought back a kobold in his mouth.
"Keuuk……."
The kobold brought by Cerberus.
"Kill, kill me!!!"
As soon as it came up to the surface.
It shouted to the air asking to be killed.
Then like before, a golden gun appeared around the kobold's head.
'It's trying to suicide again.'
I want to properly interrogate the kobold too.
Can't that be stopped somehow?
When Lee Ganghan looked at the gun stuck right to its head and thought so.
['Divine Power' strengthens 'Stamina'.]
Suddenly a message appeared saying stamina was strengthened.
Sssss……!
Black energy spread from the King of the Dead's Robe and instantly enveloped the kobold.
