Chapter 133

A large golden roulette wheel appeared. It was a roulette wheel I had seen before.

However, it looked different from before.

The golden roulette wheel was blazing in flames.

I stared dissatisfiedly at the roulette wheel as it began to spin.

I was going to pick what I wanted anyway, so this was a useless process.

Did it read my mind?

The roulette wheel, spinning at high speed, was engulfed in flames and burned to ashes.

The bright red flames completely consumed the roulette wheel, and I obtained what I wanted.

I reached out my hand toward the sky.

‘Punishment.’

A golden light shot out and collided with the dense eyeballs in the sky.

The light, soaring like stars, twinkled quite a bit, but it did not satisfy me.

I knew.

That it could originally shine much brighter than this.

I wanted to create a star that shone even larger.

I wanted to show my subordinates what kind of being I am.

Just as I was about to create a star again, something urgently blocked my path.

As I tried to use my power again, a system window popped up once more.

It was just when I thought it was a bothersome interference.

My subordinate placed me on a floating object.

I wondered why I had come down to the ground when the eyes of the heavens were still countless.

I tried to understand my subordinate.

My subordinate spoke with someone, and shortly after, a man in white approached me.

What is this?

I stared at him silently, wondering if he intended to harm my subordinate.

He didn’t seem to have any particular hostile intent, but…

I felt a little impatient.

To think I had to wait when the target I wanted to tear apart was right there above my head.

I told my subordinate to hurry up and kill that thing.

My subordinate looked down at me and smiled slightly.

“Just the two of us?”

“Let’s just do it with the two of us.”

“It would be better if there were more.”

I wasn’t particularly keen on the suggestion to share the fun with others.

However, since it was my subordinate saying it, I was in the middle of contemplating when…

A blue window popped up.

Since it mentioned my subordinate, I couldn’t ignore it and ended up reading it.

The window that caught my attention immediately filled my field of vision.

This… seemed like the right thing to say.

I wanted to be a good master, and I also wanted to see my subordinate flaunt its abilities.

Since my subordinate happened to ask me to use other things, I decided to follow its advice.

However, since this was the territory of ■■■, I had to temporarily claim ownership of those things to use them.

It was something done without the permission of one of my subordinates, who was fast asleep.

I was a little worried that he might get jealous, but I had no choice.

I felt that I had to get rid of it before he woke up.

I scanned the neon green sea and selected things I could use.

Then, I ordered them to follow me.

I could see the command I had given rising to them.

The white-clad man standing right in front of me slowly shifted his gaze to look at it.

Since he just stared without choosing an option, I forced him to consent.

With the sound of a bursting fanfare, the white-clad man became my temporary possession.

I thought he would feel stable now that he was free from ■■■’s influence, but for some reason, he appeared even more unstable.

This was the exact opposite of the grayish-brown-clad man, who had found great stability a short distance away.

“…Can you come back?”

The white-clad man muttered in a trembling voice.

“Is this… something you can come back from?”

He looked at me as if seeking an answer.

Fear filled his gaze. Amusingly, it wasn’t fear directed at me.

The man was searching for something within me.

I gave up trying to understand.

Although his condition was slightly strange, it seemed there would be no problem with the battle.

‘This might take a while.’

I had expected to burn it down in an instant, but at this rate, it would take time.

I decided to bring my subordinate to my side.

However, lacking a suitable ability, I created a new one.

As soon as I gained the new ability, a square window popped up in a hurry.

There was no reason to listen any further to something that was not my subordinate.

Merely tolerating its nagging until now had been enough.

‘Summon.’

Light flickered in the air, and the sleeping subordinate appeared before me.

I gazed at my subordinate.

Even in a dream, he was thinking only of his master.

My subordinate.

I smiled faintly and wrapped him in a golden veil to shield him from the gaze of the Eye of the Heavens.

One was not enough, so I wrapped him in several layers.

After wrapping him so tightly in gold that not even a single strand of red hair was visible, I shrunk its size.

I reduced him to the size of a round ball, held him in my arms, and patted him.

Here, he would surely be asleep undisturbed.

‘Let’s deal with this quickly while he’s asleep.’

I tore my gaze away from the subordinate in my arms.

Then I checked the list of temporary possessions.

A total of 14 entities.

I tilted my head as I examined the temporary possessions, which were sorted by stats in descending order.

There was one entity whose name was not clearly visible.

I looked at the man in white.

The one wearing the white mask was pure white, so much so that even his hair had a faint bluish tint.

A moment of curiosity arose, and I considered looking inside him, but I decided against it.

There was no reason to waste time on such things.

I began to utilize the temporary possessions to create an environment where my subordinate could run wild freely.

I decided to clean up the dregs floating in the sea first.

I commanded the remaining twelve individuals, excluding the top two.

As I issued the command, the previously calm neon green surface of the water began to ripple.

From a certain point, the dregs that had filled the sea began to disappear one by one.

Amidst the neon green waves silently dragging the dregs in, a black fin with a curved tip was visible.

Following this, a very fine spiderweb covered the sea like a large fishing net.

A spider gathered the dregs, hauled it from the water, and sang as it tore into the dregs atop the ruins.

Large vines extended their stems in all directions to pull out the dregs as if fishing, while small clumps of fur emitted electric currents to destroy them.

As a black shadow lingering nearby completely swallowed the dregs, they vanished as if they had never existed.

I was satisfied with the sight of them cleaning so splendidly. It seemed they would perform the remaining tasks well as well.

I issued orders to the remaining two entities as well.

I specially bestowed a golden veil upon them, as they needed to approach ■■■ closely.

‘Divine Protection.’

The two entities would no longer have their minds eroded even if they met its gaze.

As the ethereal light enveloped them, the two entities reacted with bewilderment.

Only my subordinate smiled at me from within the protection, as if accustomed to it.

I was very pleased with the golden light scattered over the black metal.

However, the white-clad man repeatedly tried to refuse the protection.

“Stay still.”

“He said stay still, CEO Cha.”

When my subordinate relayed this message, for some reason, the white-clad man’s resistance intensified.

In the end, I cast Prohibition and forced him to wear it.

As the white-clad man, forced to wear the golden veil against his will, glared at me and resisted once more, I placed Prohibition on him one more time.

I bound the white-clad man and looked into him.

‘Status Window.’

I checked the individual abilities of the two entities.

Unlike my subordinate, both lacked flight capabilities and focused primarily on close-range attacks.

The white-clad man was capable of some ranged attacks as well.

However, his attacks truly shone with close-range strikes, utilizing a skill called ‘Light Alteration’ as his ultimate.

The grayish-brown-clad man relied heavily on items he possessed; he needed to brand a target to gain a damage boost.

But that alone felt insufficient. He possessed a rather interesting trait.

The stronger the faith in the god he served, the higher his attack power rose. However, he currently did not believe in a god.

The solution was simple: I would just have to make him believe.

‘He likes me anyway.’

His affection level toward me was considerable.

Since he was even receiving protection, albeit temporarily, it was appropriate for him to worship me as a god.

I generated the necessary ability.

And I used it on the grayish-brown-clad man.

‘Blind Faith.’

Since it only makes him like me a little more, using the ability was simple.

The grayish-brown-clad man did not show any distress and accepted me immediately.

I summoned the grayish-brown-clad man before me to check his condition.

Golden light hovered over his hazy eyes.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at me was truly complete blind faith.

He is not a subordinate, and this form will only last temporarily while he obeys my commands, but…

Still, the way my light seeped into him looked quite good, so I was satisfied.

The preparations were complete.

I looked up at the sky. It was time to bring that thing down to the ground for the sake of my possessions.

The eyes cast a greedy gaze at me.

I raised my voice and called out.

Come here.

Come to me.

Whispering as if affectionate, it could not refuse my call.

Gig-gi-gi-gik…

The space twisted, and the eyes drew closer.

It was like the very sky was collapsing.

As the eyes drew closer, the power they exerted grew stronger.

They squirmed to burrow into my mind, but they could not exert any influence on what was mine.

I whispered once more toward its eyes.

Closer.

As it gradually approached, my subordinate let out a metallic grinding sound.

Before I could issue full combat orders, I felt a slight emptiness.

I soon realized what was missing.

There was something that should never be omitted from something enjoyable and fun.

Following my will, a faint drone sound began to fill the space.

Over a low-pitched beat based on dark, cold synthesizer pad sounds, a dreamy voice tickled my ears like a hallucination.

I smiled slightly and intuitively adjusted my vision.

Window displaying the HP and skills of my subordinates and possessions appeared before me.

Checking the skill cooldowns and stacks, I gave my subordinate a word of caution.

"Don’t get hurt."

At that, a low laugh returned, as if it had heard something amusing.

My subordinate let go of my wrist, which it had been holding until now.

…Black crescent moons began to form in his grasp.

The tempo of the music accelerated rapidly, and a stimulating bassline crushed the space.

Along with sharp synthetic sounds resembling the friction of machine and metal, the drum beat tightened its grip.

I waited.

For them to come a little closer…

For the perfect moment.

The moment the distorted electric guitar burst forth.

I gave the command.

My message struck directly into the minds of my subordinate and possessions.

Intense electronic sounds poured down like a waterfall, accompanied by splendid orchestral layers.

It was my subordinate who launched the attack first.

Soaring up with his metal wings spread, he scattered the black crescent moons.

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of black crescent moons hurtled toward the eyeball.

From within the crescent moons, my subordinate surged rapidly toward the eyeball and violently clawed at its surface with his metal hand.

However, not a single scratch appeared on the eyeball.

Only a sound like scraping metal echoed. Even the black crescents shattered upon impact, unable to penetrate the eyeball.

I narrowed my eyes.

My first attempt, a test run, was blocked completely. It seemed that attacking without proper strategy was not the answer after all.

“■■■■■!”

The enraged ■■■ let out a roar.

I didn’t particularly want to understand the meaning, so I just let the sound wash over me.

The dregs of the sea, reacting to ■■■’s roar, wailed in terror.

It mattered little, however; my temporary assets were tearing them all to shreds, so the noise remained minimal.

However, the dregs weren’t the only things reacting to the sound.

A vortex formed beneath my feet.

In the blink of an eye, a neon green column of water shot up and trapped me.

It was a column of water designed to plunge its trapped beings into an eternal nightmare.

However, it was a futile act.

There was no way I would fall into a nightmare from something as trivial as this.

I laughed out loud inside the neon-green column of water.

The bubbles scattered, following my laughter.

The subordinates and temporary possessions under my influence were also trapped in the column, but it was the same for them.

The moment it became clear that no damage could be inflicted, the water column vanished.

Following this, massive tentacles began to descend from the sky at an oblique angle.

Plunging heavily into the sea like anchors, the tentacles crushed building debris and churned up towering waves..

As the turbulent waves raged, the debris beneath my feet shook violently.

I stabilized the space where I stood to prevent it from shaking and gave orders to the white-clad man and the grayish-brown-clad man.

The grayish-brown-clad man leaped onto the tentacle.

He sprinted up the massive, slimy appendage,which resembled a bridge, without a trace of fear or hesitation.

My fanatic swung his gauntlet at the Eye of the Heavens.

A golden mark was imprinted upon the eye.

‘The mark was properly imprinted.’

I had him strike a simple blow, but as expected, no effective damage was inflicted.

It is perfectly natural that humans cannot reach a god.

However, the fact that the subordinates and possessions under my influence were unable to launch any attacks was problematic.

To identify the cause of the problem, I issued an order to the white-clad man.

But the white-clad man did not move.

I had ordered him to move together with the grayish-brown-clad man earlier, yet he had completely ignored my commands from that moment on.

I thought his condition was strange; could he be broken? He wasn’t incapacitated to the point of being unable to fight.

Thinking I was wasting my strength for nothing, I used an ability I hadn’t used on him before.

‘Blind Faith.’

I used the ability, but the blue system window did not appear again.

I waited for the golden light to linger over the white-clad man’s eyes.

But there was no reaction. Far from blind faith, the white-clad man remained rebellious.

‘Is it because of the Nonbeliever trait?’

I had assumed that since my affinity level with him was higher than with the grayish-brown-clad man, I could simply override the trait.

It was just as I was about to look into the white-clad man again…

"Do you want to give me orders?"

I looked up.

The white-clad man, drenched in neon green liquid, was furious.

He held a pure white sword and spoke roughly.

"Then do it when you’re in your right mind, Han Goyo."

Before I could even react to the insolence of a mere possession, the white-clad man charged forward.

Swinging his sword, he whispered like the passing wind.

"Light Alteration."

And the world turned upside down.
