BXBX NOVEL Chapter 605: God and Knight
Chapter 605: God and Knight
However, the one million strong troops collapsed in just four days. This was mainly because the God’s Swords that were standing at the forefront of the Luvien Empire were extremely powerful beings. Each and every single one of them were so strong that they could, in fact, be considered on the same level as the Absolute Supreme NPCs.
Not long after that, Luvien Empire’s Nerva Sephiroth sent the God’s Swords out to suppress the kingdoms and empires that dared to attack them. The first to fall was the Rofian Kingdom, which was the ‘ruler and commander’ of the ‘alliance’. Next was the Asphero Kingdom. Third was the Nevar Kingdom. The Luvien Empire rapidly took control of the American Server.
And Nerva Sephiroth? He was accomplishing all the things that he hoped and wished for. Except for one thing.
‘I didn’t expect that they would be able to hunt Elizabeth. And those bastards, the Gods of the Abyss, crawling their way out of their graves…’
Elizabeth’s fall in the Stars’ Path was not within Nerva Sephiroth’s expectations. Because of that, the Food God, King of the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom, had left a deep impression in his mind.
‘What an interesting fellow,’ Nerva Sephiroth thought, a smirk on his lips. Then, he stood up and went somewhere. It was none other than the place where the statue of one of the three strongest and most powerful Absolute Gods was.
Nerva Sephiroth stood in front of the statue of the Battle God. He might be an NPC, but just like the players, he also received his ‘missions’ from the Battle God in the form of a quest. And every time he completed those ‘missions’, the Battle God would give him more power. Also…
‘I can get the Battle God’s Origin Authority.’
The Origin Authority was the power that God of Origin Athenae bestowed to the three most powerful Absolute Gods. The Origin Authority of these three Absolute Gods was said to sometimes exceed and surpass the power of the Absolute God’s Secret.
From what Nerva Sephiroth heard, the Origin Authority that the Battle God possessed was the power that he needed to take over and govern the entire world. And the condition for gaining this power was for the Luvien Empire and Nerva Sephiroth to sign an alliance with several kingdoms and empires. In other words, it was a mission that was giving Nerva Sephiroth the power to take over the entire world at a faster rate.
Then, a black air current surged out and covered the entire area.
Swooooooooosh—
Nerva Sephiroth, with his golden hair fluttering behind him, smiled through the gaps of the surging black air currents.
“Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!”
He was looking forward to the Origin Authority’s great power surging in his veins.
‘Hurry and give me the Origin Authority!’
However…
“…?”
The Battle God did not bestow him anything. After a very, very short pause, another surge of black air current covered the entire area. And again…
Shwaaaaaaaaaa—
The power black air current soared as if it was going to overflow and explode. And just like earlier, Nerva Sephiroth laughed madly again.
“Hahahahahahahahahahaha!”
But the black air current disappeared once again.
“Why?”
[One of the Absolute Gods, the Battle God, could not hide his embarrassment.]
[One of the Absolute Gods, the Battle God, said, ‘Ah, I definitely left it here…’, the end of his sentence turning into an unrecognizable murmur.]
“…?”
Nerva Sephiroth was confused. And finally…
[One of the Absolute Gods, the Battle God, is very embarrassed. He had ‘lost’ the book containing the Origin Authority.]
“…?”
This had never happened before with the Battle God. But one thing was for sure.
‘What is this m***erf**cker saying right now?’
The Origin Authority had disappeared.
***
[You are opening the ninth Absolute God’s Treasure Chest.]
[You have acquired 75 gold.]
[You are opening the tenth Absolute God’s Treasure Chest.]
[Congratulations. You have acquired the ‘facial tissue’ that one of the Absolute Gods’ has in their possession.]
“…”
Minhyuk was left speechless. For some reason he could tell that this tissue was owned by the same God that owned the ‘Why Did the Prince Go Out Tonight?’ written by Author Aruvel.
“It’s making me feel sick.”
[Why?]
“I just feel sick,” Minhyuk said as he threw the tissue away. He had already opened ten of the Absolute Gods’ Treasure Chests. But aside from the 2,000 gold, a volume of Aruvel’s erotic novel, and some facial tissue, Minhyuk failed to get anything substantial. To make things worse…
[Wow… How did he come up with this…?! This author is a genius!!!]
The Puzzling Seasoning Jar had become Aruvel’s fan. It was surprising, but even if he was a seasoning jar, he could still move. And right now, the Puzzling Seasoning Jar was parked right in front of the book, ‘Why Did the Prince Go Out Tonight?’, his breath suspiciously ragged as he turned the pages of the book.
For some reason, sadness suddenly washed over Minhyuk’s entire body. Then, he opened the eleventh treasure chest.
[You are opening the eleventh Absolute God’s Treasure Chest.]
[You have acquired 1 gold.]
“This is really f*cking… beeeeep— beeeeeeeeep—“
Curses constantly flowed out of Minhyuk’s mouth. He only had two chances left.
“Something delicious! Please give me something delicious!!!” Minhyuk prayed desperately. In fact, he was not wishing for anything good anymore. All he was hoping was to get something that he could pad his stomach with. There had to be something like that!
“Hoo…” Minhyuk took a deep breath. This time, he was going to open two treasure chests at the same time.
[You are opening the twelfth Absolute God’s Treasure Chest.]
[You are opening the thirteenth Absolute God’s Treasure Chest.]
The two golden treasure chests rattled in front of Minhyuk before opening at the same time.
[Congratulations. You have acquired the ‘Ancient Gods’ Recipe Book’ that one of the Absolute Gods have in their possession!]
[Congratulations. You have acquired the ‘Origin Authority. God and Knight’ that one of the Absolute Gods have in their possession!]
[An astonishing event has happened!]
[You became the first player to acquire an Origin Authority!]
[You have acquired a 1% increase in all of your stats.]
[You have gained 500 CHA.]
[You have gained 500 REP.]
[As the first person to acquire the Origin Authority in the world, you can choose to publish your nickname or remain ‘anonymous’!]
Ring!
[World Messages regarding items obtained from the Absolute Gods’ Treasure Chests are restricted!]
Ring!
[Most of the power of the Origin Authority has been sealed!]
[You can only use the Origin Authority once every three months.]
[The Origin Authority will be triggered randomly.]
“…?”
[Keok…!]
A voice filled with shock and astonishment rang from the Puzzling Seasoning Jar while Minhyuk was tilting his head in confusion. The Puzzling Seasoning Jar started to explain while Minhyuk’s lips twitched in joy.
[Only the three strongest Gods among all of the Absolute Gods can have the Origin Authority…]
[The three Origin Authorities are so powerful that they can have a huge influence and impact on the entire world.]
In fact, the Seasoning Jar was shivering when he explained it. And Minhyuk was also shaking.
[Right, that’s really great. My goodness! I can’t believe you got the Origin Authority. If I were you, I would have already taken off my underwear and…]
“…Amazing. This is really dope! Wow! The Ancient Gods’ Recipe Book! Wow, wow, wow, wow!”
[N, no. You crazy bastard. Having the Origin Authority means that you have the power to rule the world and bring them under your control…]
“Kyahaha! President Kang Taehoon, thank you very much! May you receive all the good blessings! May you live a long and healthy life! I can’t believe you gave me the Ancient Gods’ Recipe Book!!!”
[Look over here, the Origin Authority…]
“Wahahahahahahaha!”
[…]
Is he crazy? For a moment, this thought flashed in the Puzzling Seasoning Jar’s ego’s mind.
[Do you really like the Ancient Gods’ Recipe better?]
“You can’t eat the Origin Authority, right?”
[Y, yes?]
“Don’t we all have to eat to survive?”
[That, that’s also true?]
“Then, will the Origin Authority feed me to survive?”
[That’s right. The Ancient Gods’ Recipe is much bet… You, crazy bastard! That’s not it!!!]
The Seasoning Jar thought that Minhyuk was dangerous. After all, he almost got influenced by his words.
Minhyuk checked the Ancient Gods’ Recipe Book and saw how amazing it was. The Ancient Gods’ Recipe Book contained a variety of recipes. It also had a complete list of ingredients. On top of that, the book described that there was a chance that he could acquire better flavor, additional stats, and even new skills, as long as he found the ingredients and cooked them.
Just like what Minhyuk expected, the Ancient Gods’ Recipe Book was a cheat-like item.
[Then, how about checking it for a bit…]
“Ah! For real! You’re really annoying! It’s something that I can’t eat!!!”
[…Sorry.]
Minhyuk checked the Origin Authority. God and Knight, something he could not eat, with an annoyed look on his face.
(God and Knight)
Origin Authority
Current Status: Sealed
Effects:
•Sealed.
•Sealed.
•Sealed.
•If you are placed in ‘that situation’, this power will be triggered randomly and without your knowledge. This can only happen once in three months.
•There’s a chance that you will be able to control God and Knight once the seal has been lifted.
•You can have more than five God level NPCs once the seal has been lifted.
•You can have more than twenty Legendary level NPCs once the seal has been lifted.
[What’s the name of the authority?]
“God and Knight,” Minhyuk nonchalantly said after looking over the information once.
But the Seasoning Jar was shocked. At the same time, Minhyuk’s body began to tremble once again.
[F*ck?!!! God and Knight is the name of the greatest and the strongest Origin Authority in existence…!]
“It’s trash.”
[It’s trash?!!!!]
The reason why Minhyuk’s body was trembling was because the power was worse than what he expected. Why? Because everything has been sealed and there was no effect that he could use immediately. Considering Minhyuk’s current situation, it was truly worse than the Ancient Gods’ Recipe Book.
The Seasoning Jar was left speechless as he watched Minhyuk hug the Ancient Gods’ Recipe Book while laughing and mumbling, ‘Hehe, something delicious. Get~’
Now, Minhyuk had to prepare for ‘Elizabeth’.
[Hey. You did not believe what I told you earlier, right?]
“What do you mean?”
[Although I said it myself, it’s impossible to bring one of the Six Monster Gods to your side. Did you really believe that?]
The Seasoning Jar’s original name was ‘Grumpy Gochujang that Does What it Pleases’. It just went to show how mischievous he was.
“But I still think that I should give it a try.”
[That’s reckless. The people around you will get hurt.]
“That’s right,” Minhyuk said bitterly. At this point, he realized that the Puzzling Seasoning Jar was not simply asleep. Although his ego seemed to be asleep, it seemed like he could still see the world through Minhyuk’s eyes.
However, the reason why Minhyuk was going to give it a try was, ‘We really need a strong and powerful ally.’ This fact hit Minhyuk hard during the fight with Elizabeth. He needed more strong allies. Only by having more powerful people by his side would be able to protect those that are precious to him.
To do that, Minhyuk would brainstorm all the possible methods that he could use until before Elizabeth hatched.
[You shouldn’t do that though? That’s absolutely impossible… Zzzzz…]
Just like that, the Seasoning Jar fell into another slumber.
***
The Seasoning Jar fell asleep. In fact, he was not really asleep. He just went into a space that only he could enter. In this space, the Seasoning Jar could view the world through Minhyuk’s eyes. However, he could only do it once. Most of the time, he was trapped alone in this space.
“It’s impossible,” he mumbled worriedly. He was just trying to joke around with the boy, but his mischief might now bring the fire toward the people surrounding the boy.
“I have to get out of here quickly and stop him.”
But his freedom was not up to his own will. The time that he would awaken was set at random and even seeing the world through the boy’s eyes was not something that he could control. Time continued to pass by.
“It’s absolutely impossible. So, please think about it again! Don’t do it!!!”
The Seasoning Jar was now on the verge of dying from frustration. He did not expect that his mischievous attitude and behavior would bring this kind of danger upon others.
‘That crazy guy that loves to eat food is the first person that I’m fond of in a long while…’
But the boy would be in danger if things continued at this rate. However, there was one thing that he was sure of. It was impossible to bring Elizabeth, an absolute being that dominated an entire era, to their side. Common sense said that it should be absolutely impossible.
Then, for a very short moment, a crack opened and the Seasoning Jar was able to see through Minhyuk’s eyes. And through that small crack, he was able to see some unknown phrases.
[The God and Knight has been triggered randomly!]
[The God and Knight has exerted its power over Minhyuk and Elizabeth!]
The Origin Authority had been randomly triggered? At this point in time? It had to be known that both Minhyuk and the Seasoning Jar did not know the extent of the power of the God and Knight. But the Seasoning Jar could tell one thing.
‘He must be trying to appease Elizabeth and bring her to his side…!’
This was a big problem! If things continued at this rate, then they would be met with a huge disaster. The Seasoning Jar tried to correct the mistake that he made by trying to muster what little of his power was left to stop the boy at this moment.
“Open, you damn eyes…!”
Slowly, ever so slowly, the world began to unfold in front of the Seasoning Jar. It was as if his eyelids had been opened for the first time. And the scene that unfolded in front of him left him speechless.
The Seasoning Jar could see dozens of the Beyond the Heavens’ Named NPCs in the area. All of them looked like they were ready for battle just a few moments prior, but now they were just sporting dumbfounded expressions on their faces.
In front of Minhyuk knelt Elizabeth, in the form of a young girl.
“…I will live for you, Your Majesty,” Elizabeth declared, her eyes brimming with tears.
Then, the notifications rang in the ears of the Seasoning Jar.
[The God and Knight has succeeded!]
[You have acquired God’s First Knight.]
[God’s First Knight ‘Elizabeth’ is one of the Six Monster Gods that has the power to control the system!]
[God’s First Knight would not hesitate to sacrifice their life for their ‘God’.]
‘…How did this happen?’
The Seasoning Jar could not hide the shock that he was feeling right at this very moment.
