Chapter 807

The Jade Emperor was aware of how great the Sword of Aeon was. It was considered as the best sword even among the swords in the gods’ possession.

The heroes of the previous era feared the power of the Sword of Aeon and did their utmost to seal it. It was not just sealing it, they even put almost impossible conditions to lift the seal. One of the conditions to awaken its power was to have the mana of the current era’s heroes, or powerhouses.

Right now, the man that loved to read erotic books frightened the Sword of Aeon and raised the rate of completion of the lifting of the first seal by 11%.

“That’s absolutely unexpected.”

“However, if you listen closely to the Sword of Aeon, the man is the weakened Evil God of the past.”

The Jade Emperor and his envoys believed that this would be the one and only time that the Food God, the uncivilized and barbaric trash from the other continent, would be able to increase the completion rate of the Sword of Aeon.

Just like that, they watched as Minhyuk arrived in his kingdom with his chicken skewer in hand. He continued to walk down the street and met an old man not long after he entered his kingdom. The old man looked like he was well over sixty. However, strangely enough, his hair was black and glossy. They watched as the old man collected the cats’ poop, wrapping it carefully before savoring its scent.

“What the hell…” Viel looked furious at the old man’s frivolous behavior.

Given the old man’s age, he had to be an old veteran among the soldiers of the Food God’s kingdom. However, could he even go out and fight like that?

‘Well, is he smelling the animal’s poop because he can’t do that anymore? But why is he smelling the cat’s poop?’

The old man smiled kindly.

[Hoho. Your Majesty, the coffee beans that we will harvest this time all have a very good scent.]

[Grandpa Ben… munch, munch… please put some of your mana here.]

[Mana?]

Pfft—

There was a burst of laughter among the envoys.

“Does that old man even have mana? Is he going to squeeze his old bones? Huh?” Viel mocked the old man openly.

However, the moment the old man placed his hand on the Sword of Aeon, shocking notifications rang out once more.

[The Sword of Aeon recognizes the Spear God that conquered an era!]

[He might have been a human once but the Spear God became a demigod to protect someone and eventually became a true god that overcame the previous Spear God for the sake of that someone!]

[The Sword of Aeon is left in a turbulent state after seeing the Spear God’s will to never back down and protect what is precious to him while acknowledging the man!]

[The rate of completion for the lifting of the first seal has increased by 6%!]

Everyone present, including the Jade Emperor, groaned when they saw the notifications.

“That old man…”

“He’s the Spear God?!”

Even though the Jade Emperor and his envoys were completely different from the gods of the other continent, they had also heard a lot of stories about the previous generation’s Spear God.

The Jade Emperor groaned once again. “No, but how…” He was so surprised that a small tremor appeared in his voice. “The Spear God… the cat’s butt…”

“Uhm…”

All of them could not take their eyes off of Minhyuk, who began to walk again. Of course, his mouth never stopped moving and he kept on eating. This time, he waved to a tall man with a huge build walking somewhere with a drove of pigs.

[Your Majesty, you’re back.]

From the straw hat on his head, to the hay dangling in his mouth, to the pigs grunting and following him obediently, it was obvious that the man was a livestock farmer.

[Hyaaa. Every time I see the oinkies I always feel this way…]

Minhyuk’s eyes were shining brightly as he looked at the pigs. The livestock farmer looked at him in surprise before speaking sorrowfully.

[Your Majesty, you have shocked our oinkies. Please refrain from saying that in front of them.]

At this point, everyone could see how much the livestock farmer cared for the animals. Minhyuk smacked his lips in regret, and hurriedly changed the subject.

[Brod, I need some of your mana here.]

[Alright.]

The moment the soft-hearted livestock farmer placed his hand on the sword, absurd notifications that they had never heard of before appeared in front of them.

[The Sword of Aeon is resonating with an unmeasurable force!]

[The Sword of Aeon is resonating with an unmeasurable force!]

[The Sword of Aeon has grown infatuated with this strong power.]

[The Sword of Aeon wants to serve him as his master.]

[The Sword of Aeon is left in a turbulent state after feeling the power of a legend that represents the current era.]

[He possesses talent that even the gods covet. He is the Fallen Wretched Emperor and the Absolute God’s Sword that even the Absolute Gods fear.]

[The rate of completion for the lifting of the first seal has increased by 8%!]

The Jade Emperor jumped up from his seat.

This man was completely different from the dark-haired, perverted, handsome man from earlier. The dark-haired handsome man was a transcendental being from history. But this man was a living and breathing supreme, standing tall above everyone in the current era.

It was unknown why such an existence was working as a livestock farmer. However, what was even more surprising was the fact that he was serving somebody else.

“Why is he serving the Food God?”

They just could not understand it. Why would someone who transcended those from the current era, someone that even the Absolute Gods feared, serve an ordinary god?

They kept on watching Minhyuk as he continued to walk around his kingdom. This time he spoke to a passing fisherman.

[Gorfido. Please put some of your mana here.]

[Alright, Your Majesty.]

[The Sword of Aeon recognizes the Great Pirate that terrorized the seas!]

[The Sword of Aeon recognizes him for being the only human who has united all of the pirates roaming the seas!]

[The rate of completion for the lifting of the first seal has increased by 3%!]

Then, he continued to walk again. At that moment, someone came running to him.

[Your Majesty, I have finally completed the cola-flavored Recovery Potion that Your Majesty has told me about.]

[Really? Gulp, gulp, gulp, kghhk! Excellent! Really excellent, Mandala!]

The man who ran to Minhyuk knelt down and cried when he heard Minhyuk’s praise

[Your Majesty… I think I’m finally able to be of great help to you. This Mandala has really worked hard to complete this cola-flavored potion. Just the thought of Your Majesty feeling very happy while drinking this potion is enough to make me cry!]

[Good job. You really did a good job.]

Minhyuk raised his hand and patted the man on his shoulder. He was looking at the man warmly, showing how proud he was of the man and his achievements.

[Please take care of me from now on, Mandala.]

[Yes.]

[Then, please place your hand here.]

[Alright.]

[The Sword of Aeon recognizes the one that has the talent that even the gods envied.]

[He is someone who has gone through all kinds of trials and adversities because the gods were envious of his talents.]

[He is someone who has saved the world from being ravaged by an infectious disease with just a single potion. He is the God of Alchemy.]

[The rate of completion… 1st seal… 5%!]

The Jade Emperor and his envoys continued to watch.

[Love, Hope, Happiness. Put your paws on the sword!]

The heads of Love, Hope and Happiness popped out from the dog house as they placed a paw on the Sword of Aeon.

[The Sword of Aeon recognizes Hell’s Gatekeeper!]

[The rate of completion… 1st seal…1%!]

Then, they watched as he approached a bichon that was combing its thick and rich fur.

[Bichor, put your paw here for a minute.]

[The Sword of Aeon recognizes the one that created traps and explosives that even the gods are afraid of!]

[The rate of completion… 1st seal… 3%!]

This time, Minhyuk approached a tall black-skinned man, who was standing on the side of the road and listening to music.

[Elpis, please put a bit of your mana here.]

[Alright.]

[The Sword of Aeon recognizes the newly crowned Great Demon!]

[The rate of completion… 1st seal… 4%!]

Minhyuk filled the rate of completion for the lifting of the 1st seal up to 78% just by going around his own kingdom.

Viel, who had been laughing at Minhyuk, felt some dampness in his palms.

‘Sweat…?’

Viel had thought of immediately going to his kingdom to slit his throat and take the Sword of Aeon the moment he received the Jade Emperor’s permission. However, it seemed like the one that would get his head decapitated if he went there. Just the thought of going there alone made him feel terrified.

“As expected, he cannot completely unseal the seal of the Sword of Aeon.”

In just an hour, the man was able to fill more than 70% of the sword’s completion rate. This was an absurd achievement that no one could ever reach. However, this was only possible because of the people in his kingdom. As for filling the remaining 30%, it was definitely impossible.

As Minhyuk continued with his walk, a young woman appeared behind him.

[Your Majesty, it’s time for the Continental Conference.]

[Hmm. Alright. Let’s go right away. Ah, before that. Haze, can you put your hand on this?]

[My hand?]

[Right. It would be good if you can put a bit of your mana here.]

[Let me give it a try.]

[The Sword of Aeon recognizes the woman who could make even the God of Fraud click their tongue.]

[She has the amazing talent of a con artist and scammer who can sell dirt picked up on the street for 100 platinum.]

[The rate of completion… 1st seal… 1.8%!]

After that, the Jade Emperor and his envoys watched as the two people warped and disappeared in a flash of light.

***

Continental Conference.

The Continental Conference was a meeting where those who were against the Great Luvien Empire gathered to discuss and understand the current trends in the empire and how they would respond in the future.

They had held the conference twice in total, and any representative or leader of a group, regardless of their race and status, could participate in this conference. Every time a conference was held, these leaders would bring a huge number of troops and leave them stationed outside the capital of the Eivelis Empire to show off their military might. Currently, there were millions of troops gathered outside of the capital.

As for the leaders that led these millions of troops? They were all famous people in the continent, including Continental Emperor Ellie, Collodis Empire’s Emperor Asvon, Mercenary King Venteio, Dragon King, Elven King Argon and Overlord Raldo were all sitting inside the conference room to participate in this conference. And it was not just them, they also had knights that represented their empires and kingdoms by their side.contemporary romance

Of course, just by their force and might alone could be said to be warriors that represented their own empires and kingdoms. However, it was also very important to have overwhelming talent.

Even though they were all on the same side and were against the Luvien Empire, they were still leaders who stood above their people. It was only natural for a subtle contest of pride to ensue among them.

Minhyuk entered the conference room while they were still busy talking with each other.

“Hello, everyone!”

“You’re here, Minhyuk.”

“Hoho. My younger brother has come.”

“My nephew’s here.”

The atmosphere inside the conference room instantly turned friendly the moment Minhyuk entered. Of course, the Jade Emperor and his envoys were still looking at Minhyuk, who was completely clueless that he was being watched, at this time through the clouds.

Minhyuk was quite puzzled by the stern and harsh atmosphere that lingered in the air earlier. “Were you all arguing again?”

Since all of the people had gathered here were leaders, having a contest of pride was truly inevitable. At that moment, Minhyuk thought, ‘Hoo. Yes, that’s right.’

The completion rate of the Sword of Aeon still needed around 25%. Right now, there were some ideal candidates gathered here that could help him fill that remainder.

“You’re still fighting to see who’s stronger, no?”

Someone coughed in embarrassment when they heard Minhyuk’s words. However, he continued, “Then, how about we do it like this? I recently acquired a very interesting sword. How about letting this sword gauge your powers? The one with the highest score wins.”

Of course, he was just saying it as a joke. However, everyone showed great interest as if they found it to be fun and interesting.

Ellie glanced at Raldo. ‘Raldo, you might be a great king hailed as the Overlord. However, you’re still leagues behind when compared to me.’

‘Ellie, you might be the woman hailed as the Continental Emperor and the Sword Emperor. However, I’m someone that built my own kingdom myself. You’re nothing in front of me.’

Meanwhile, King Argon thought, ‘Perhaps this is our chance to establish the position of us, elves?’

Everyone looked at Minhyuk eagerly, interest evident in their eyes.

“Ah. Just so you know, something very shocking will happen once I take the sword out. It will only be for a moment though,” Minhyuk said as he took out the Sword of Aeon.

And just like he said, something very surprising happened. All of the weapons and armor inside the conference room were sealed temporarily the moment he took out the sword.

Minhyuk laughed when he saw the horror in everyone’s faces.

‘It’s very easy to fulfill this condition, right?’ He thought as he said out loud, “Everyone, please gather round. Then, at the same time, place your hand on the sword and inject your mana!!!”

All of the people in the conference room gathered to where Minhyuk was and gingerly placed their hands on the sword. Then, Minhyuk said, “Go!!!”

With those words, everyone sent their mana to the sword. At the same time…

[The current era’s powerhouses have started to inject their mana at the same time.]

[The Sword of Aeon has started to resonate with the mana being injected to its blade.]

[The Sword of Aeon resonates with the mana of the greatest and the strongest.]

Rumbleeeeee—

The inside of the conference room shook and trembled as the Sword of Aeon resonated with the mana that was being poured into it.

[The Sword of Aeon recognizes Sword Emperor Ellie, the only emperor that can unite the continent and the only one to refuse the position of the Sword God!]

[The rate of completion… 1st seal… 6.1%!]

[The Sword of Aeon recognizes Overlord Raldo, the king that has built his own kingdom by wielding the greatest sword!]

[The rate of completion… 1st seal… 3%!]

[The Sword of Aeon recognizes Argon, the king of all the elves!]

[The rate of completion… 1st seal… 3%!]

[The Sword of Aeon recognizes Mercenary King Venteio, the man that united all of the mercenaries!]

[The rate of completion… 1st seal… 4%!]

[The Sword of Aeon… the King of the Seas, the Dragon King…]

[…Sword of Aeon…]

[…Sword of Aeon…]

[…Sword of Aeon…]

Minhyuk’s mouth almost split with how wide he was grinning.

‘Easy peasy, right?!’

His smile grew wider and wider the more he listened to the notifications that rang constantly in his ears.

[You have achieved 100% completion rate and have fulfilled the condition to lift the 1st seal of the Sword of Aeon!]

[The 1st Seal of the Sword of Aeon will now be lifted!]

Then, a bright, blinding light burst out from the Sword of Aeon and enveloped the entire conference room. At the same time, a world message resonated all over the world.

[The skies, the seas, the land.]

[The greatest and strongest sword that can split the world has appeared.]
