Chapter 1048

Chapter 1048

The entire world fell into silence.

When everyone saw the Supreme Monarch grab Minhyuk by the collar, they thought he would be killed. But before the Supreme Monarch could make a move, the Battle God was able to cut off his head successfully.

Even Minhyuk could not believe that they were able to cut the Supreme Monarch’s body apart. Why? Because after a total of ten resets, he felt that he was indeed an enemy who they could never kill.

But the notification that rang had proven that the Supreme Monarch had died.

[You have hunted the Supreme Monarch.]

The notification was highly shocking. After all, just like the Frenzied Ingredient, the Supreme Monarch was an opponent so intense and out of reach for anyone.

[You have gained 4,313,671 platinum.]

“...!”

Minhyuk was shocked by the notifications that began to ring in his ears. He obtained four million platinum after hunting a single mob, which was extremely unusual.

[You have acquired the Supreme’s Artifact Production Manual.]

[You have acquired the Supreme’s Ore: Alvarranium (2).]

[You have acquired the skill: The Supreme.]

It seemed like the Supreme Monarch was quite tidy. The only things he dropped were three essential items, and there weren’t any miscellaneous items at all.

Then, additional notifications came in.

[You have levelled up.]

[You have levelled up.]

[You have levelled up.]

After the three level-ups, Minhyuk settled down around the middle of the Level 690 range. But the notifications weren’t over yet. More surprising ones came in. And it has even become a world message that resonated all over Athenae.

[One player has successfully made the Supreme Achievement.]

[Despite the cauldron’s blistering heat, he endured and hugged it to ensure that he would be able to cook his way to the Supreme Court.]

[Despite the blazing flames that engulfed his body, he never backed down and continued to work hard to reach the player’s final level, the Supreme.]

[Despite the fear of dying, he fought against the very same being who made him tremble in fear.]

[He will be a legend.]

[He will be a myth.]

[He will be an idol.]

[He...]

[Today, the greatest of all achievements, the Supreme Achievement, has been made. Perhaps this feat will never happen again.]

[The name of the player who left a Supreme Achievement is none other than Minhyuk.]

Ring!

[You will receive rewards for making the Supreme Achievement!]

[You have levelled up.]

[You have gained 10,000 CHA.]

[You have gained 30,000 REP.]

[You have obtained the Supreme Title: The One Who Reached the Pinnacle.]

Only after Minhyuk saw the ridiculous and shocking title did it dawn on him that they had indeed hunted the Supreme Monarch.

Only at this moment did the tension leave Minhyuk’s body.

‘It has been tough.’

Lately, Minhyuk had not had time to eat something delicious. It was tough for him to find the time to eat. This was because he had been very busy, starting with the exploration of God’s Prison for his quick growth, then the bet with the Absolute Gods, and finally, the creation of the Supreme Dish.

The gamjatang was still boiling in the cauldron. It looked very delicious. Minhyuk quickly took a sip of the soup.

“Kghhk...!”

As the spicy soup taste spread in his mouth, a smile naturally appeared on his face. He grabbed the ladle and scooped a considerable piece of backbone on a plate. Then, he took a massive bite of the thick, soft meat on the bone.

“Kghhk! It’s so soft!”

Delight spread all over Minhyuk as the meat gently and softly melted in his mouth. Next, he pried some meat away from the bone and dipped it in soy sauce and wasabi. The soft smile on Minhyuk’s face grew wider at the taste that spread in his mouth.

After eating the meat that covered the bones to some extent, Minhyuk grabbed the bones on both sides and pulled them apart. Then, he savored the meat that was hidden inside. After eating a few backbones clean, Minhyuk grabbed some of the outer cabbage leaves and added them to his rice.

He added a piece of the outer cabbage leaf to his huge spoonful of rice and put it in his mouth. The moment he took a bite, the soup spurted out from the leaf, making his smile grow even deeper.

Minhyuk, who ate like that for quite some time, grabbed the ladle and scooped some of the soup into his plate. Then, he grabbed his plate and took a sip of the soup.

“Sluuuuuuuurp!”

He was in awe of the spicy and refreshing flavour of the soup.

But the greatest charm of gamjatang was the fact that he could make some fried rice with whatever was left in the cauldron.

Minhyuk scooped out the remaining gamjatang soup before adding rice and stir-frying it. After stir-frying, he spread the now red fried rice thinly on the cauldron and sprinkled some seaweed flakes on top of it. Then, he grabbed his spoon and scooped a huge mouthful of the piping hot fried rice into his mouth.

The flavour was fantastic.

Scratch, scratch–!

Minhyuk quickly finished the dish. He even scraped the bottom of the cauldron to ensure he had eaten every last bit of the gamjatang and the fried rice.

“Fwaaaa...!” Minhyuk exhaled happily.

Finally, the notifications about the Supreme Dish rang in his ears.

[You have eaten the Gamjatang.]

[The dish is the Supreme Dish.]

[The Supreme Dish is every chef’s dream.]

[The Supreme Dish is a dish that carries the power of the Extreme Trance.]

[The successful cooking of the Supreme Dish will permanently increase your stats by +50.]

[The two most outstanding chefs of the current era have met and created the most incredible dish.]

[All of your stats have permanently increased by +78.]

[You have obtained 2 Cooking Skill Points(SkP).]

“...?!”

Minhyuk was shocked.

‘It’s not just two or three basic stats? All of my stats have increased by 78?!’

This massive increase in his powers significantly boosted his growth. Minhyuk now possessed more than eight stats, which meant his stats had increased by more than 600 points in just one go.

‘Just by cooking this dish alone, I grew by more than 5%.’

In fact, Minhyuk has already experienced significant growth from the successful hunt of the Supreme Monarch. Because of this dish, he was able to gain another boost to his stats. But these numbers weren’t the most important thing that he gained.

[One of the Absolute Gods, the God who Loves to Cook, declares a vow.]

“...?”

Confusion was evident on Minhyuk’s face as he turned to look at the God of Cooking.

The voice of Arlene, who was kneeling on one knee, resonated all over the world.

[I, Arlene, the mother of all chefs, solemnly swear...]

[...that I will support him, protect him, and obey his orders occasionally.]

[Through this vow, I declare...]

Arlene looked up at Minhyuk with a faint smile on her face.

[...that I will stand by the Battle God’s side.]
