Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Achievement Unlocked: First Step toward Godhood

"Alright, Master. I'll explain. Having so many gods and goddesses come to you is a big problem because it can attract unwanted attention and conflict didn't you want to live peacefully?... Altars are sacred and can be seen as a challenge or an insult if not properly sanctioned.

Without the blessings of the proper deities, it can lead to severe repercussions, including divine wrath or interference from other gods who feel slighted."

Seojun listened to Zyraena's explanation. "I still don't get why this is such a big deal,It's not like they can find the altar" he said, rubbing his forehead in frustration. "It sounds like a mess, but why are you so worked up about it?"

Zyraena's glowing form shimmered with distress as she tried to suppress her frustration. "Master, it's not just about the altar. The gods and goddesses can be very sensitive about these matters. They might see it as an insult or a threat if their blessings aren't properly requested. It can cause a lot of trouble."

Despite her detailed explanation, Seojun remained puzzled. "Okay, okay. I'll take your word for it."

As Seojun continued to speak, Zyraena's mind churned with conflicting thoughts. 'How is my revenge now?! huhuu'

'If Seojun receives blessings from the gods and goddesses, not only will they learn that I'm a human servant, also..' Her thoughts darkened with worry and anger.

Meanwhile, In a dimly lit room, Oh Tae-hyun sat in deep concentration, his eyes closed as he focused on locating the mysterious altar. The ethereal presence of Zeus resonated in his mind, breaking the silence.

"Tae-hyun," Zeus's voice echoed, reverberating through Tae-hyun's thoughts. "Have you made any progress in finding the altar?" Tae-hyun opened his eyes, looking up with determination.

"I'm still searching, Lord Zeus. It's proving difficult to pinpoint its location. There are no clear indications as to where it might be."

Zeus sighed inwardly, Even this human is struggling. What should I expect from someone of their kind? If the other gods haven't located the altar or the human responsible, it's unlikely he will either.

As Zeus's presence faded from Tae-hyun's mind, he returned to his divine realm, his expression darkening with concern. The aura around him crackled with tension, a sign of his mounting unease. His power surged, nearly reaching the pinnacle of godly strength as he grappled with the implications of the altar's presence.

Hera, Zeus's wife, approached him with a concerned look. "Zeus, what troubles you so?"

"We must find this human," Zeus said, his voice laced with concern. "If we don't, he might ascend to godhood and disrupt the divine order."

Seojun sat up on his bed, rubbing his temples as Zyraena's glowing form continued to flicker anxiously before him. He was tired, and the conversation had stretched far longer than he wanted.

"Zyraena," he began, his tone firm, "you don't need to worry about this anymore. Go back to your realm."

"But, Master!" Zyraena protested, her voice filled with concern. "This is serious! If the gods find out—"

Seojun cut her off, his patience clearly waning. "Don't make me repeat myself, Zyraena. Go back."

Zyraena hesitated for a moment, her light dimming slightly. But she nodded quickly, accepting his command.

"O-okay, Master," she muttered, her form shimmering one last time before she vanished, leaving only a faint trail of golden dust in her wake. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Seojun lay back on his bed, exhaling deeply, trying to shake off the remnants of Zyraena's frantic warning. Before he could settle in, the system's voice chimed in, sounding almost apologetic.

†ԋіѕ$-¢-на$ρ#τ&ε-я$-$ί&Տ-!

[Host, I'm really sorry.]

Seojun frowned, glaring at the air. "You planned this, didn't you?" he muttered. "You said we could use Zyraena's godly powers, but they're actually mine."

[Exactly, Host,] the system continued. [By forcefully giving blessings through the altar, your growth has been accelerated, leveling you up and unlocking achievements.]

Seojun glanced at the glowing hologram that appeared before him

Seojun's eyes widened in disbelief. "I don't have any plans to be a god," he said firmly, waving his hand to dismiss the hologram.

[But, Host, becoming a god offers substantial benefits. You'll gain access to unparalleled power, authority over your own domain, and the ability to shape reality in ways even powerful mortals cannot. With these rewards, you could grow stronger, faster.]

Seojun's eyes remained serious as he stared at the empty space where the hologram had just disappeared. The system's voice came through, softer and uncertain.

[I-I'm sorry again, Host,] it stammered.

Seojun's tone was firm, leaving no room for doubt. "After I find my mom, I'll forget all about this If you don't stop meddling with things i don't want. I'll deactivate you, I'm serious this is not a joke so never mention this godly thing again."

He paused, his expression softening just slightly. "I'll make up for all the five years I've been gone and give her the peaceful life she deserves."

The system fell silent, unable to muster a response, sensing that Seojun meant every word.

Seojun finally allowed his eyes to close, exhaustion pulling him into a deep sleep. The night passed in a blur, his dreams filled with fleeting images of his mother's smile and a peaceful life far away from the chaos he had faced.
