Chapter 885

Chapter 885

Bentley apologized because, even at the last minute, he no longer wanted to remain a vulgar and lowly god. Besides, the Food God that he had encountered was quite amazing and completely unlike the figure that he had envisioned, ridiculed, and jeered at.

“You are the Battle God.”

Light started to spill from the cracks that appeared all over the surface of the Titan of Destruction.

[The Titan of Destruction is going to explode!]

Despite the frightening sound that rang in his ears, Bentley remained calm, his eyes closing in relief and resignation. But at that moment, a rough and callous hand slammed on the transparent glass and broke it apart. The hand immediately grabbed Bentley by the collar and dragged him out.

Shwaaaaaaa–

Bentley opened his eyes and stared at Minhyuk, who was operating Bless. He watched as the man manipulated Bless to hug his body tightly and protect him.

Baaaaaaaaaaaang–!

At that moment, an earth-shattering explosion erupted and swept the entire area. With Bless’ protection, Bentley was able to avoid the explosion. As he watched the explosion, he could not help but wonder, ‘Why?’ Why did this man save him? He just could not understand.

As for Minhyuk’s thoughts, it went like this, ‘I can’t let you die here just like that.’

Was it because Bentley’s apology deeply moved him? However, Minhyuk was not a fool who would think, ‘It’s a pity to let him die like that after he had realized his wrongs.’ after hearing his enemy apologize to him. Bentley had admitted that he was qualified to be the Battle God.

‘Besides, the God of Dungeons is a god that has a huge influence in the Land of the Gods.’

That was right. The God of Dungeons’ faction was quite large. So, if God of Dungeons Bentley went out of the dungeon and explained to the other gods, their trust and faith in him would be more substantial.

‘Anyway, this guy is done for.’

Minhyuk knew that the punishments the Argalis Dungeon would bestow upon him would be severe. He glanced lightly at Bentley, who was being protected in Bless’s hands.

‘Why is he looking at me like that?’

Bentley was looking at him with sparkling eyes. Minhyuk slowly put him down and said briefly, “You cannot die yet.”

“...!”

Then, Minhyuk turned around after leaving those words. And Bentley? He felt very moved when he saw him like that.

‘He has a heart as big and wide as the ocean. Is there a god like that?’ Bentley’s thoughts ran wild, completely unaware of Minhyuk’s. ‘Did he forgive me because I realized my wrongdoings?!’

Bentley took the lead in slandering the Food God. However, he did not end it there. When the Food God was just about to pass through the Second Gate more easily than he expected, Bentley broke in by himself and even threatened him.

“...”

Bentley looked at Bless’s back, carrying Minhyuk. Unknowingly, he had already started respecting Minhyuk. He watched Minhyuk walk silently for a bit before climbing out of Bless. Then, Bless collapsed the moment Minhyuk got out of the cockpit.

The colossal divine weapon collapsed, and standing right next to it was a tall man with a wide and sturdy back! For some reason, Bentley felt his heart pounding when he saw this scene.

Then, Minhyuk immediately squatted down to pick up Bless’ parts. The charismatic figure earlier was nowhere to be seen as he scrambled for the pieces of the divine weapon!

***

[Bentley’s favor toward you has increased!]

[Bentley’s favor toward you has increased!]

[Bentley’s favor...!]

“...?” A flash of doubt appeared on Minhyuk’s face as he squatted down and picked up the fragments of the broken Bless. All he did was spare him and look at him with a hateful(?) gaze, so... how come his favor toward him was rising? Either way, it did not matter to Minhyuk.

‘Bentley will go out of this dungeon and say words that would praise me.’

Of course, Minhyuk’s hands did not stop moving and continued to pick up Bless’ fragments.

[You have acquired God’s Tough Screw.]

[You have acquired 534 kg of Bless’ Tough Armor.]

[You have acquired Bless’ Heart.]

[...Bless’...]

[...Bless’...]

Although Bless was destroyed, the accessories and fragments it left behind remained priceless.

‘If I can also use these materials to make a titan of my own, then...’

It would significantly boost the Beyond the Heavens Empire’s military might.

Minhyuk, quickly picking up Bless’ fragments, looked up only to see that the exploding titans had stopped. Although there were still a considerable number of surviving celestial dwellers, that also meant that quite a huge number of black dwarves and titans were still on the battlefield.

‘How can I stop them?’ Minhyuk heaved a sigh.

Vwoooooooooong–

Vwoooong–

Vwooooooooong–

All of the operational titans stopped all at once.

[God of Dungeons Bentley has stopped the Titans!]

“Run!!!”

[The God has made a phenomenal achievement by clearing the gates of Argalis Dungeon, a dungeon that has never been broken in the Land of the Gods for thousands of years!]

Now, no god was foolish enough to deny the qualifications of the Food God. However, their shock was not yet over. A voice suddenly resonated all over the Land of the Gods.

[They pointed their fingers at me and criticized me during the Banquet of the Gods saying, ‘You know nothing but eating.’]

[They pushed my face on the marble floor and told me, ‘You are nothing but a trivial and useless god.’]

“Ravier...”

It was none other than the God of Bards who knew the owner of the voice the best. He was the only god that came to see the final moments of the Food God. Ravier’s voice continued to ring all over the Land of the Gods, speaking about how hard he suffered back then and how long and much effort he had put in.

And the gods? They all listened intently to his story. It was the previous generation's gods that had wronged him. However, they all thought that they were no different from their predecessors. After all, they also mocked, jeered, and criticized the Food God, saying that he was not qualified to become the Battle God.

Back then, the God of Bards had asked the Food God Ravier in his temple, ‘What are you making?’ And it was this voice that answered his question instead.

[Finally, I was able to make it.]

The dish that Ravier made was not a dish that could poison others; it was also not a dish that could cause an epidemic or a dish that could take away one’s divine power.

[A dish that everyone can eat and bring happiness to all.]

“...”

“...”

These gods had already heard about the answer from the God of Bards. However, they once again heard it through Ravier’s voice.

[A dish that can show you that eating is an act that is not light and can be ignored.]

[A dish that can let you know that eating is an act that can make you very happy.]

[And after years and years of hard work, I finally succeeded in making this dish.]

[To those gods, I just hope...]

All of the gods sincerely admired Ravier. Someone even lamented losing a god whose generosity knew no bounds. Ravier was a noble and pure god that gods like them, with a twisted and ugly heart, dared not reach. For some reason, they felt what happened to Ravier was their fault.

[...that you can eat this and admit those facts.]

At that moment, a series of notifications rang for all the gods.

[A new Absolute God’s Secret has been born to the world!]

[The Absolute God’s Secret: Dish of Satisfaction has been triggered!]

[Please think of a dish you want to eat the most!]

[This dish will appear in front of you!]

“...!”

“...!”

“...!”

The fact that he could turn someone’s imagination into reality was a very shocking power. Why? Because there was no ability in the world that was as difficult.

The gods thought about the dishes they wanted to eat the most.

“I want to eat a sandwich. It’s a very meaningful dish that the human woman I have loved had made for me.”

“I want to eat steak. I still can’t forget the steak that the God of Cooking used to make for us.”

“I want to eat the first dish I ate when I became a god...”

Everyone began to think of the dishes they wanted to eat or the ones they could not forget from their memories. And whatever dish they chose appeared in front of them.

The God of Bards chose carbonara. He rolled the pasta with his fork and ate a mouthful. The moment he put it in his mouth, a rich and deep flavor immediately spread out.

“...Delicious.”

This was the most delicious carbonara the God of Bards had ever tasted. Surprisingly, the dishes Ravier had left behind for them had wholly won over their taste buds.

“It’s truly a dish that can bring you satisfaction and delight.”

“Come to think of it, the only thing that I look forward to every day is eating.”

[I don’t want much.]

Ravier’s gentle voice enveloped them.

[I just... want you all to know and learn about the joy of eating.]

That was the greatest wish of the heavily mocked Food God.

All of the gods' faces displayed happy and satisfied smiles. In that delighted smile, one could see both respect and pity for the Food God Ravier.

At the same time, a series of notifications rang in Minhyuk’s ears after he found out that the dish that Food God Ravier prepared would allow the gods to realize the importance of food and eating.

[You have completed the Linked Quest: Food God’s Achievements.]

[You have completed the quest with a surprisingly high Achievement Rate!]

[The first Food God, Ravier, is bestowing upon you his rewards!]
