Chapter 450 – 450. The Scourge of Greed

Before going up to North Korea, I decided to recruit Franken first.

There are three main reasons.

First of all, because Franken is the only one who can properly fix Nicole’s arms and eyes.

To be honest, if I cut off an arm from one of the female slaves and goug out an eyeball, I can fix Nicole well enough.

But it will be accompanied by great pain. No problem with me cutting and pasting my body, but it seemed quite problematic for me to do that to my woman.

In particular, the process of plucking and fitting the eyes is difficult even for me to endure soberly.

So, I decided it would be better to hire an expert.

The second reason is that I thought I could go there relatively quickly.

If you go to the North to catch the janitors in Mangwijeon right away, it will take at least 2 to 3 days.

However, in the case of attacking Franken’s laboratory, it was judged that it would be possible to attack within 7 hours at the latest.

I decided to lead the party tomorrow and go up north, so I should be able to recruit Franken before tomorrow comes.

The third and final reason.

‘Because he’s an expert in ergonomics.’

That’s one of the very important reasons to bring in Franken.

‘A chance to strengthen the pure human.’

Pure human.

It refers to those who are maintaining the race that was in the initial awakening state because they are not affected by the class or the effect of the item.

For example, Areumna’s twin sisters, Anna and Meiling, etc. Belong to pure humans.

And unless these are special circumstances…

‘Stats cannot exceed 200.’

That’s the human limit.

The limit of other races is still unknown, but the limit of stats that can be reached as a human is up to 200.

All stats stop growing at just 200 if you remove your magic power. Therefore, the moment you break through 200, the achievement is accomplished.

‘Most of the current Awoken are pure humans.’

This became clear after going on several expeditions and killing other survivors.

Our faction is unique. No, my girls are unusual.

Whether it’s my influence or my luck, most of my women are outside the confines of the human species.

The same goes for Eunji and Harin, as well as Aram and Heeseon noona. Not to mention the states and galaxies. Even Yewon has now been changed to a unique species called the Ancient Man. Through the second awakening.

‘There is such a thing as an attribute in a class…’

In the case of beasts, species-related classes or monster-related classes, the species is unconditionally changed through awakening or secondary awakening. Yewon also belongs to the hidden class of Manmajeon, so her 2nd awakening completely changed her race.

‘But…’

A non-attribute class has no possibility of changing its race through awakening alone.

The most representative example is beauty.

Areumi’s class developed from a sword dancer to a sword master after meeting Palus.

It is a class that cannot change the vertex or species of the swordsman class.

‘Paulus always used to say.’

He said that if he had been a werewolf-like beast, he would have already surpassed his current limits.

He has too much strength and talent in his human body, so his body breaks down and his stamina declines, said Palus.

The same goes for Areum. Unless we change species, growth will stagnate. The same goes for Ella, Bella, and Anna. As was the case with Meiling, the slave workers in our camp had clear limits in the end.

‘So that..’

You must meet Franken. I heard from Sataniel that there is a way for him to cross his limits without changing his species.

The ultimate in human body modification.

Change in human nature.

“I should go.”

I prepared to open the gate. The syringe extorted from drug dealer Jackson was injected into my body.

I was able to open the gate with an unknown itchy feeling in my right hand. It is a gate that can be used twice. It must have been handed over to two episodes to be used when entering and leaving.

‘Anyway, it’s about time to come soon.’

Before you go to meet Franken, you have to meet Jillian.

Right now, Jillian is spending a ton of time in the Maw for Gate production.

At first, he chose to join our camp out of goodwill and rational interest in me, but now he was completely immersed in his own research.

Yes, thanks to the vein seeds in Hell, rare metals that are hard to find on other planets continue to be produced, and time passes slowly, so you can devote yourself to research as much as you like.

In addition, since the black market belongs to me, it is so easy to obtain goods from the Yi tribe and human resources are overflowing, so if you use parasitic humans as assistants, it is possible to continue working without sleeping for 24 hours.

‘Because parasitic humans are insanely fast at learning.’

The parasitic humans of Hell, now the word parasitic humans has a meaning of disparagement, so these guys, whom they call themselves underground people, had a much higher ability to acquire knowledge than other races.

This is not the case with savage parasitic humans, but those who were transformed into underground people through the 7th tentacle were generally curious and had a very high desire for learning and a very high level of intelligence.

Thanks to this, Narak now has a completely different appearance than when he first entered. It is literally a city built underground. Roads are paved and buildings are being built.

I want to expand the area a little more here, but it’s just a little regretful that it’s difficult. It is not inferior to calling it an underground paradise.

Confidence continues to rise…

‘Ah!’

Then it dawned on me that there was a reward I hadn’t received yet.

[Reward for achieving ‘In the Name of God’]

[One. Dedicated Punishment: Designates a punishment considering the characteristics of the achievement achiever. If you use Wrath, you can deal a wide range of damage to allies and enemies. Use Faith.]

[2. Exclusive Blessing: Assigns a blessing considering the characteristics of the achievement achiever. Blessings grant wide-ranging benefits to allies and foes alike. Use Faith.]

[3. Exclusive blessing: Designates a blessing considering the characteristics of the achievement achiever. Protection can be granted to anyone who believes in that religion. Use Faith.]

“Oh my god.”

After thinking that I should receive it in hell.. I forgot about it. No, maybe it was because I went through so many things, I just thought I would receive it and forgot about it.

Moreover, he had not yet received the reward for the achievement of ‘designation of sanctuary’.

[Reward for achieving ‘designated sanctuary’]

[One. Menhir of Abundance: When selected, a menhir is created in the sanctuary. Plants and animals raised in the sanctuary grow faster and stronger, and yields increase. An unspecified believer turns into a missionary.]

[2. Stones of the Temple: When selected, a stone is created in the sanctuary. The physical ability and mental power of the believers inside the sanctuary are improved, and production is increased. An unspecified believer turns into a judge.]

[3. Sotdae of Ascension: When selected, a Sotdae is created in the sanctuary. The amount of piety gained through followers increases, and the number of followers increases rapidly. Unspecified followers turn into fanatics.]

I wasn’t getting this either. Why do you think you got it? It seems that I was mistaken that I received what I thought would happen if I received it as a delusion in my brain.

I think I’m losing my mind. How many things have you been missing? Going crazy.

‘You have to take it slowly. Haha shit I’m worried again I feel bad. I feel like throwing up.’

Slowly, my head began to throb. I don’t worry so much when I go to fight with a real goddess, but I think I’ll get depressed when I choose a reward.

‘Still..’

I will have to choose

First, I decided to choose between punishment, blessing, and divine protection.

This is not a type of reward for receiving goods, so it is not possible to exchange at a pawnshop. Once you get it, you’re done. I had to do a lot of thinking.

[The divine punishment can already be used by oneself, so isn’t it better to use a blessing or protection?]

“Right? I think so too.”

Of course, the punishment that will be received as a reward is likely to be a completely different kind of skill. But I have a feeling that this is really necessary.

That’s also true, because it is clearly written in the compensation description that it inflicts wide-area damage regardless of enemy or ally.

‘There is a very high possibility that it cannot be used near the base.’

If I don’t have anything right now, and if I’m in a situation where I have to break through the enemy’s camp, I’ll be punished.

But now I am in a position to protect. So, I think blessings or blessings are right.

[But blessings…]

“It gives a beneficial effect even to the enemy. I can’t even look for it.”

[Then, would you choose a blessing that can strengthen your teammates?]

“Okay. I choose it as a punishment.”

[Yes?]

Paimon’s voice of bewilderment.

No matter how you think about it, the heavenly bee is too hot. Discarding rational judgment, I chose the option my heart wanted.

He chose punishment regardless of profit or loss.

Yes, I am the Apostle of Disaster.

Allies can take damage?

‘Take care of yourself and avoid it.’

If you can’t do that, you won’t be able to stand on the battlefield with me.

Farming or building at home would be more helpful.

Yes, I believe my girls will eventually reach the same line as me.

No, even if I couldn’t grow that high, I had no intention of growing weak enough to die from being caught up in a wide area.

[Exclusive punishment will be given!]

[Analyzing target’s class and battle data!]

[The Nemesis is created!]

Is being made

It’s not a technique I’ve ever used.

Instead of the existing punishment that forced the evil spirits to manifest by grinding the stone statues of the slaves, my exclusive disaster is now being created.

[Punishment: Tax Collection]
[Effect: Receive 10,000 points from intelligences that come within a certain range. From those who do not have the ability to pay points, appropriate experience is collected, and from those who are not awakened, life is taken away.]
[Activation condition: 66666 points must be paid in advance. There must be at least 30 hostile creatures.]
[Details: Triggers for about 30 minutes. All the stolen taxes are returned to magical power.]

“Hey. Fuck.”

It was said that it was the throne of greed, and a punishment appropriate for it was created. The name of the heavenly punishment is tax collection. Either pay money or experience points. It meant that if you couldn’t do both, you would die.

“Awesome.”

They say you have to pay 66666 points to activate it…

‘It’s worth doing.’

As long as the black market is in my hands, there is little chance of struggling with point supply. Of course, you won’t be able to burn more than 60,000 points as you please, but I think you can use them at just the right moment.

I’ll have to give it a shot when I head north right away.

‘Next is the sanctuary designation reward…’

I’m going to pass on this choice.

‘In the name of God’ was the reward I had to choose, but I thought it would be better to ask the person who actually grew up in the Maw for the sanctuary designation reward.
