Chapter 990

Chapter 990

Minhyuk immediately ran to the site where they were building the Battle God’s Temple when he heard what Obren said. These were the notifications that greeted him when he approached the temple:

[All of the materials used in the temple are worshiping you.]

[The materials are genuinely happy to be able to be a part of a temple that serves your name.]

[They will evolve to another level and go beyond superior materials.]

Then, something shocking happened. The air turned fresher and made the entire temple feel more pleasant. The trees’ branches stretched on their own and covered the exterior of the temple with blooming flowers. Not only that, the stones that looked ordinary before suddenly grew shinier, sturdier, and stronger, making the Battle God’s Temple more beautiful than before.

‘Is this the Battle God’s effect?’

That was not the case at all. Minhyuk might not know, but the materials did not react like this because he was the Battle God. He had achieved tremendous growth compared to ordinary players. He was even able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Luvien Empire’s emperor. Even if he wasn’t the Battle God, his existence was well worth worshiping these materials.

Of course, Minhyuk did not forget his original purpose once he entered the temple.

‘Temple Evangel, the temple in myths.’

He could only shudder at its enormous power despite only being in an incomplete state.

Minhyuk released a shaky breath as he attempted to apply Evangel to the Battle God’s Temple.

“Apply Evangel to the Battle God’s Temple.”

Was Obren and Minhyuk’s assumption true? He did not even need to wait for the answers; the notifications had already started to ring.

[Would you like to apply Evangel to the Battle God’s Temple?]

‘Obren. You’re really...’

He was Minhyuk's dear and good friend.

However, there was just something that he could not understand. According to Obren, he probably had already achieved Temple Level 7 for Evangel. Was the reason why Evangel remained at Level 1 even though he had met all of the requirements because he had not applied it to a temple? That was quite weird, no?

‘Well, we’ll only know it if we try.’

Minhyuk agreed to apply Evangel.

[The temple from the myths responds to its master’s calls.]

Immediately after that, a massive light pillar fell from the sky. Alvier and the construction workers, who were waiting outside the temple, were left stunned.

The Battle God’s Temple had already become even more beautiful, but when the pillar of light fell upon it, a bigger change began to take place. Glittering diamonds appeared and decorated the walls of the temple, while golden water started to spew out of the unfinished fountain, and the trees started to turn white. Countless white flowers even appeared and covered Minhyuk’s body.

Swoosh–

Minhyuk’s clothes changed into a white papal robe when the white flowers slowly disappeared. At the same time, a notification rang in his ears.

[Evangel observes the master of the temple.]

Minhyuk gulped dryly. Evangel was observing him to decide if he, who dared to own its temple, had the qualifications to do so.

[Evangel admires you and the power you possess.]

[Evangel has leveled up.]

[Evangel admires you and how you became the God at the Highest Place from the God at the Lowest Place.]

[Evangel has leveled up.]

[Evangel admires you and the gods under your command.]

[Evangel has leveled up.]

[Evangel’s Level has reached Level 4.]

[At Level 4, the amount of EXP that Evangel requires to level up will double.]

Minhyuk grew nervous when he heard the notifications stop for a moment. ‘The amount of EXP needed will double?’

Thankfully, the notifications began to ring once again.

[Evangel is both in shock and awe of you and your effort, passion, endurance, and patience.]

[Evangel has leveled up.]

[Evangel is both in shock and awe of you and the countless achievements that you have made.]

[Evangel has leveled up.]

Minhyuk’s interest was piqued after listening to Alvier’s words. “Are you sure that I can complete Evangel with those items?”

“All items representing Your Majesty, the Battle God, will help the temple grow. However, all of these items should satisfy Evangel.”

“...I see, so it’s almost impossible.”

Minhyuk understood that the statues, portraits, artifact samples, and better exteriors should at least be God-grade or perhaps even higher. But was that even possible?

No matter how outstanding a sculptor was, there was no way that they would be able to make a God-grade sculpture right away. It could even take them a year at the very least. And, of course, the same was true for the portraits and the artifacts.

‘I’m quite good at making God-grade dishes, but I can’t say for sure about the others.’

And it would even be ridiculous if he tried to do the sculpture and the portrait by himself, no?

‘In the end, do I have to wait for a long time?’

It could be possible if he set the due date to at least a year from now.

‘But the Luvien Empire must have already settled down by then.’

A bitter taste lingered in Minhyuk’s mouth at the thought.

At that moment, Alvier said, “There is a way. There is someone in this world who can make outstanding sculptures, paint life-like portraits, and even duplicate the original artifact perfectly.”

Minhyuk’s ears perked up. ‘Someone like that exists?’

Then, Alvier finished his sentence. “He is one of the Eight Pillars, Jack-of-all-Trades Rocado.”

“Eight Pillars?” Minhyuk was quite surprised.

Although they knew some of the Eight Pillars, most were still hidden. The ones known to the world were Athenae, Obren, Kronad, and Helenia. Minhyuk had assumed that not all of the Eight Pillars longed for power and threatened many people's lives, as in Athenae’s case.

“From what I heard, he can do anything and everything related to DEX, and make it better than anybody else. That’s everything that I know about him.”

The Eight Pillars Jack-of-all-Trades Rocado, a person hidden behind a veil. How did Alvier know about someone like him?

‘He must have exhausted great efforts just to create a better temple.’

Minhyuk guessed that Alvier was the type who would find out about everything until the very end. However, there was no need for the man to disclose information like this to him, no?

‘But why did he share this precious information with me?’

But thanks to that, Minhyuk was now aware of the person hailed as the Jack-of-all-Trades among the Eight Pillars. The difference between knowing and not knowing was like the difference between heaven and earth.

‘I have to gather information as fast as I can.’

By the end of this, he would be able to obtain a complete Evangel and millions of migrants.

Special Players Management Team.

Team Leader Park Minggyu, monitoring Minhyuk, quizzed Lee Minhwa after a very long time. “What kind of person is Jack-of-all-Trades Rocado?”

“He’s like the father of dexterity. Just like the Weapon Master, who is a master of all weapons, he is superior to any being regarding things related to DEX.”

Team Leader Park nodded. “And what can Player Minhyuk gain from Rocado?”

“Rocado is one of the Eight Pillars. Aside from being able to obtain a complete Evangel, there is a chance that he would also receive something special. Something that is yet to be revealed in the world.”

This was an important point to note. Rocado was the Father of Dexterity. What did that mean?

“He has a Pillar’s Ingredient, an item yet to be released to the world, in his hands.”

That was right. The Pillar’s Ingredient was an ingredient that had the power to go beyond a God-grade or perhaps even an Absolute God-grade ingredient.

Team Leader Park and Minhwa looked at each other. The expressions on their faces were hideous. Minggyu’s face was twisted horribly, and Minhwa looked like she was crying and laughing simultaneously.

“Hoho. Player Minhyuk will use the Seeds of Revolution on the Eight Pillars’ Ingredient.”

“Then, do you know what we will do next?”

Lee Minhwa knew precisely what they were about to do.

“We have to continue monitoring him.”

That was right. Their overtime has just been confirmed.

‘Please let me go home...’ A silent cry resounded in their heads.
