Chapter Title: Master Enhancer
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Would you like to raise the Title count to its maximum?
The Title count has reached its maximum, granting you 'Master Enhancer.'
Hoo.
It was a title Id given up on since I no longer needed to acquire it, but I completed the acquisition in the blink of an eye with my qualifications as the owner.
And that wasnt all.
Titles are being absorbed.
All the titles Jeong Hoon had acquired up to now were absorbed into him and vanished.
In their place, their effects were applied to Jeong Hoons abilities at 1.2 times the strength.
What a shame. If youd gained all permissions, you couldve gotten even stronger.
Tenebris couldnt hide his regret.
The owner Jeong Hoon had chosen.
It was precisely half, a level just slightly below Jecheon in terms of effectively wielding permissions.
Even so, Jeong Hoon couldnt hide his satisfied smile.
Beyond just Master Enhancer, hed swept up titles he hadnt acquired before, massively surpassing his previous stats, equipped new abilities he hadnt had, and fused his existing ones to recreate them as new skills.
Ah, if only I could tweak things with the Creator here, it wouldve been even more powerful.
The regrettable part was the Creator.
He could use the Creator via his clone through the Chalice of the Void, but he couldnt upgrade his possessed skills with it.
Gather all of Gods energy. Then you can acquire the Creator.
Easier said than done.
Gods energy.
The condition to rise from Ultimate to God tier.
But fulfilling that condition was like plucking stars from the sky.
Even after eliminating Jecheon, he hadnt obtained it.
It meant hed likely only get it through Named-grade foes with high probability.
At his current level, it was impossible, so he could only let out a hollow laugh.
This is weird. Why is it so quiet?
Tenebris tilted his head.
Jeong Hoon had deleted the great rift, so there shouldve been some reaction, but it was eerily silent.
Its because youre masking my presence.
Is that so?
There were two options.
The first was Logos intervening on Earth to desperately reclaim the stolen code.
The second was going all-out to track down Jeong Hoon, who was moving with Tenebris.
The fact that it wasnt acting right away suggested it had chosen the second.
Finding Tenebris was more important than the lost permissions.
Good. This actually makes it much easier to move.
Next up was severing connections with the Transcendents.
Jeong Hoon opened the server, and countless Transcendent icons appeared before him.
Blocky icons.
He manipulated one and ejected it outward.
You have banished Demon Secro.
Demon Secro cannot re-enter due to banishment.
Along with the banishment message, the icon never reappeared.
Jeong Hoon selected them all and banished them.
He ignored the flood of messages.
I already pulled out the demons from the 96 hells I ruled long ago.
Following Baals words, the demons of the 96 hells had severed all contracts with incarnations, accepting penalties, and lost interest in Earth.
But other hells were different.
With their original owner Escannon absent, the hell hed ruled was pure chaos.
It had a lord maintaining order, but if other hells invaded citing Jecheons absence, it would be helplessly absorbed.
Ill eat them first.
When he chose to become the owner, his very first plan was to expand his forces.
Of course, expansion wouldnt hurt them directly, but he couldnt just sit idly by.
If the situation played out right, it could sow confusion.
Caution: Invasion imminent.
Then a new message appeared.
Unlike previous ones, it had a red border.
Not sent to all users, it was visible only to Jeong Hoon, the dimensions owner.
So its not just sitting back after all.
Still, it didnt seem to be stepping in directly.
Dont let your guard down. Its just not touching a dimension without permissionsthats the rule. What its after is you.
More precisely, you.
Khmm.
Jeong Hoon looked at Baal beside him and spoke.
Baal, isnt it about time you returned to being a lord?
Baal hadnt actually been defeated; hed only pretended to lose to Jeong Hoon.
So if he wanted, he could return to his hell anytime.
Now?
Yeah. And I plan to help you devour the other hells too.
Hoo, so youre putting me out front!
Exactly.
Jeong Hoon nodded.
Unite the hell Escannon had ruled around Baal.
That plan fell apart before it even started.
Damn it! I cant return to my hell!
Baal, who needed to return to reclaim his main body, was now blocked from his hell.
Jeong Hoon had become the dimensions owner, but that didnt mean hed taken the connected hells.
Logos had swiftly seized ownership of the hells, anticipating that.
Hmm, so its isolated after all.
Hed seized Earth and deleted the great rift, so this was the natural result.
It was scheming to isolate Earth and wipe it out via invasion.
Tsk, what a useless lump. What the hell are you even doing?
Tenebris clicked his tongue at the dejected Baal.
Khuk I didnt expect this.
With Logos blocking the hell gates, even a lord couldnt break through.
In the end, Baal couldnt be much help to Jeong Hoon now.
Dont be too down. Ill get your main body back soon enough.
Is that possible?!
Baal looked at Jeong Hoon with expectant eyes.
Ah, not right away.
If Logos had sealed it tight on purpose, even Jeong Hoon would struggle with entry and exit.
I see
Baals shoulders slumped.
Hed thought he could return anytime to reclaim his body, but a Named had blocked it.
Alright then.
Jeong Hoon set Baal aside, pulled out the last Sin Box hed taken from Escannon, and summoned the Seven Deadly Sins.
Ill fully unseal you now.
Really?! You took down Escannon!
Yeah. The divine relic you gave me played a big role.
The Chalice of the Void was impressive, but the Book of Heavenly Retribution had made cutting off Escannons lifeline much easier.
Keh, good thing I held onto it!
The Seven Deadly Sins flashed a proud smile.
Hmm, isnt that guy a traitor? You sure its okay to unseal him so easily?
As Jeong Hoon reached for the box, Tenebris made a sharp remark.
Traitor? Ha, youre one to talk.
The Seven Deadly Sins glared at Tenebris.
Who else would I be talking about, you insolent traitor?
Better than parasitizing without any pride, right?
If youve recovered most of your memories, youd recognize me.
Get real. Why should I show respect to a guy who got stripped and chased out before I even existed?
Wow you little shit
Before Tenebris could finish, Jeong Hoon cut in.
Its fine. When I opened the Sin Box, he became my familiar.
Familiar?
Yeah.
Even if the Seven Deadly Sins harbored ill intent, there was no need to worry.
Opening the Sin Box had made the Seven Deadly Sins Jeong Hoons familiar.
Thats why, when hed sent it back, it had stayed with the tamed Fenrir and Michael.
Unless it gains the power to forcibly sever the familiar bond.
After eliminating Abaddon and Escannon, the odds of Jeong Hoon being overwhelmed were near zero, so no big worry.
If thats the case
Tenebris was convinced and stopped trying to dissuade him.
Jeong Hoon immediately opened the remaining Sin Box.
You have acquired Seven Deadly Sins: Lust.
All Sins have been gathered.
Thanatos awakens.
Kuhahaha, yes! Its done!
The Seven Deadly SinsThanatosburst into laughter that shook the surroundings.
So thrilled, he twisted his whole body in frenzy.
With six gathered, hed boasted the form of a great demon, but adding the final Lust completed a true demon, radiating a chilling aura utterly unlike before, freely exuding the energy of death.
Even Baal, a hell lord, couldnt compare to this perfect demon.
Already intimidated by the Seven Deadly Sins Thanatos, Baal wouldnt even meet his gaze.
Seven Deadly Sinsno, Thanatos. Your memories are fully intact now, right?
Thanatos.
A Transcendent symbolizing death, like Abaddon.
Kekeke, yeah. Perfectly intact.
Thanatos reached out toward Jeong Hoon.
That bastard!
Tenebris freaked out at the sight, but Jeong Hoon scoffed and smashed his fist into Thanatoss face.
Thwack!
With a dull thud, Thanatoss head snapped sideways, and he lost balance, tumbling to the floor.
Argh!
Thanatos clutched his face, letting out a pained groan.
Thanatos, I really hate guys who repay kindness with enmity.
W-Wait a sec!
Thanatos frantically waved his hands.
What? Got something to say?
Its unfair! That wasnt an attack, I swear!
Your eyes said otherwise.
What about my eyes? This is just my normal look!
So what were you trying to do?
I judged itd be better to transfer my memories directly than explain one by one!
Then you shouldve said so first before moving.
Sorry
Thanatos scratched his head sheepishly.
Jeong Hoon healed his swollen cheek and continued.
Then hand over all your memories.
Transferring every single one I have is impossible. The volumes too vast.
Unlike mortals, Thanatos had lived eternally.
I see. So what were you about to give me?
Info on the Nameds.
Ah, no need. I can get that from Tenebris here.
Jeong Hoon glanced at Tenebris, who shrugged.
Yeah. I dont need info from trash like you.
Dont you only have that info anyway?
Tenebris and Thanatoss fierce glares clashed, sparks flying.
Enough bickering, its annoying. One more outburst, and Ill seal you both forever.
At Jeong Hoons mediation, Tenebris smirked victoriously.
Seeing it, Thanatos protested to Jeong Hoon with an aggrieved look.
Why only me? He keeps pissing me off!
Whatre you talking about? Its both of you.
Both?
Tenebris tilted his head.
Yeah. You know Im the dimensions owner now, right?
So?
So what do you mean so? Im maintaining the status quo and postponing your revenge as long as it takes.
N-No, not that!
So can you just shut up and stay put?
Unable to give up revenge, Tenebris clamped his mouth shut.
Good. Now, Thanatos, Ive got a job for you.
What is it?
Make contracts with as many humans on Earth as possible.
Uh, you mean make as many incarnations as I can?
Jeong Hoon nodded.
