Chapter 2688 – 2688. God’S Atlantis

I tensed up, watching Van Ray, then relaxed.

I didn’t sense any hostility or intent to fight from Van Ray. If he had wanted to kill me, he would have attacked already.

“Looks like you didn’t come to fight.”

“I wouldn’t be opposed to fighting… but I’d prefer to fight in my best condition.”

A fighting spirit flickered in Van Ray’s eyes, then disappeared.

“Then what did you come for?”

“While I’m generally indifferent to the Barclay Legion itself, I haven’t completely abandoned it. There was a disturbance in the rear, so I came to see for myself. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”

“Your comrade, your subordinate, died, and that’s all you have to say?”

“Roman died because he was weak. He accumulated karma, but if he had been strong, he would have been able to handle even that karma.”

Van Ray said calmly.

I knew his words weren’t a lie. His personality was exactly like in the original story.

“Even so, Roman was the sub-master of the Barclay Legion. Normally, as the master, you should be seeking revenge.”

“Master! Roman…!”

Van Ray raised his hand to stop Rupert from interrupting.

“I know. Roman was too aggressive. Because of that, you were dissatisfied and brought in the Heavenly Demon, and Roman set a trap to devour the Heavenly Demon.”

“If you knew, why did you let it happen?! What is the Barclay Legion alliance to you, Master?!”

“The Barclay Legion is power. Without power, it will crumble meaninglessly. Roman failed to prove his power, and the Heavenly Demon proved it. Heavenly Demon. Join the Barclay Legion. I promise you the position of sub-master.”

Van Ray ignored the speechless Rupert and looked directly at me.

“I belong to Helten, and I have my own forces.”

“The Barclay Legion is an alliance. We can accept you and your forces. Helten is not a problem either. The Empire is the one that opposes Helten, not the Barclay Legion. Why don’t we destroy the Empire together?”

“I refuse. Looking at the state of the Legion, it doesn’t seem like a good fit for me.”

“That’s a shame.”

“…Is that all?”

“There’s no reason for me to fight you. Ultimately, this incident was an internal matter of the Barclay Legion, and you and Roman had a legitimate duel guaranteed by the system. There’s no reason to turn you and Helten into enemies. Above all, I condoned this incident. So, it’s right to condone it to the end.”

He’s very principled. Thanks to that, I can go back without wasting unnecessary energy, so I’m satisfied.

“I’m done here, so I’m going back.”

“Heavenly Demon.”

“Do you have anything else to say?”

“Be careful of the Angelus Legion. Just because they’re angels doesn’t mean they’re necessarily good.”

“I know that much.”

I turned my back on them. Of course, I didn’t completely let my guard down. I heightened my senses so I could react even if Van Ray suddenly attacked. Van Ray didn’t react.

‘Damn it. Because of the anti-space movement scroll, I can’t use a space movement scroll.’

I had no choice but to walk to another area, then tear a space movement scroll and return to my room in the A-Plan Legion headquarters.

“Whew, I almost got screwed fighting Van Ray.”

I had used full recovery, so I couldn’t use the Heaven-Breaking Demonic Art either.

「The King of the Demonic Heavens sponsors 100,000 AP.
“What the hell was that technique? There’s no such crazy self-destruct move in the Heavenly Demon Divine Art. How did you even recover your soul?”」

The King of the Demonic Heavens sent a message. He must have been really curious, as he even sponsored 100,000 AP. Usually, he barely sponsors 1,000 AP.

‘But right now, 100,000 AP or 1,000 AP doesn’t make much of a difference to me.’

With the amount of AP I get every month, how could I be surprised by a mere 100,000 AP?

“It’s something like that.”

「The King of the Demonic Heavens sighs.」

“Status window.”

I know where to use the three bonus points. I’ll invest them all in luck, a stat that can’t be raised through normal means.

「Name: Sung Yu-jin
Class: Heavenly Demon (天魔)
Title: Protector of the Vagina
Divine Seat: King of the Demonic Heavens
Affiliation: AL 401 Earth.
Strength: 148 Agility: 140 Stamina: 139 Mana: 150 Luck: 115
Unique Trait: Deception (SSS)
Traits: Heavenly Demon Body (SS), Pharaoh (SS)

(Status window applied)」

“It would look perfect if I had one EX skill.”

I glanced at the empty space. There was no message.

“King of the Demonic Heavens. I’m talking to you.”

「The King of the Demonic Heavens clears his throat and avoids eye contact.」

Actually, I didn’t expect much.

EX rank is a stage beyond the limits of the system. Even the highest god can’t raise a contractor’s skill to EX rank.

“King of the Demonic Heavens. What the hell did you do to the Heavenly Demon Divine Art?”

「The King of the Demonic Heavens sponsors 100,000 AP.
“To transcend humanity and become a true Heavenly Demon. That is the essence of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.”」

“That doesn’t seem to be all of it… Well, whatever. It’s not like things will go your way anyway.”

「The King of the Demonic Heavens laughs.」

Is he really laughing because there’s something to it? I smiled back at the King of the Demonic Heavens, who was probably watching me.

After that, I took out a random reward box from my inventory.

「SS Rank Random Reward Box.
When opened, you will obtain one random SS rank item.
Rank: SS」

The box was light. It was clear that there was nothing inside. It was random, so that was to be expected.

An SS rank item is a win no matter what. Moreover, I have a luck stat of over 100. I can confidently say that no one in Atlantis is luckier than me.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been excited. Shall I open it?”

Clang.

Light burst out of the box.

「Great Luck (EX) is activated.」
「The entire universe is helping you!」
「Great Luck (EX) will be deactivated for the time being.」
「The SS Rank Random Reward Box evolves into an SSS Rank Random Reward Box due to a mysterious power!」

Even though I was using the Heavenly Demon status window, Great Luck (EX) was activated regardless.

The light emanating from the box turned rainbow-colored. The rainbow colors began to coalesce and transformed into an object.

It was a purplish-black die. Not a six-sided die, but a twenty-sided die. A faint purplish-black light was flowing from it. It didn’t look very good on the surface.

「Dice of Destiny
Can be used once every 100 days.
Designate a target and roll the die. The higher the number, the more powerful the effect of the die.
If you roll the die on an object, it will change into another object of the same rank.
If you roll the die on a person, it will inflict a curse or blessing depending on the will of the die’s owner.
If you roll the die on a monster, it will instantly kill it depending on the number.
If you roll the die on a skill or trait, it will change it to another skill of the same rank for a certain period of time.
If you roll the die on a curse or blessing, it will remove it with a certain probability.
You can also roll the die on other things.
Rank: SSS」

“Something interesting came out.”

It was an item that had never appeared in the original story. Still, as befitting an SSS rank, it had an incredible effect.

‘It means I can change an SSS rank item into another SSS rank item. That’s a cheat ability.’

Moreover, my luck stat is 115. With the system’s correction, there’s a high probability that I’ll get a high number if I roll the die.

I rolled the die without designating a target. Of course, the die’s effect didn’t activate. The number that came up was 20.

I rolled it ten more times. 17 or higher came up 5 times, 7 to 16 came up 3 times, and 6 or lower came up 2 times. The lowest number was 3.

“It’s not impossible for 3 or lower to come up… Should I try using it?”

Even though the cooldown was 100 days, I really wanted to use it. I rolled my eyes, wondering where to use it.

‘100 days will pass quickly. This one is for experimentation, so it doesn’t have to be an item with a rank.’

The bed I was sitting on caught my eye. A high-quality queen-size bed that I had bought with special care.

「The bed has been designated as the target.」
「Roll the Dice of Destiny.」

I rolled it. The Dice of Destiny, slipping from my hand, rolled on the floor, emitting a faint light. Eventually, the die stopped.

「20.」
「Destiny is changing drastically.」
「The bed’s essence has been changed by the vortex of destiny.」
「You can use the Dice of Destiny again in 100 days.」

The bed began to emit a purplish ominous aura.

The ordinary queen-size bed, which had no special effect, had changed strangely. Just in case, I checked the information, and an information window popped up.

「Entrance to Dreamland
If you fall asleep on the bed, you will be transported to Dreamland.
Rank: S」

“Huh.”

Should I be happy about this?

Dreamland. Of course, it’s an area of Atlantis. It’s a difficult place to enter, and if you go in carelessly, you won’t even be able to find your bones.

“First, I need to get a new bed.”

This ominous bed is going into the inventory.

Now, the wedding is less than a month away.

I headed to the mansion at Elena’s call. Today’s task was to choose the wedding dress and tuxedo for the wedding. Tuxedos are all pretty much the same, so I just need to pick one that’s suitable.

‘The important thing is Elena’s wedding dress.’

I was attending Elena’s wedding dress fashion show, but I had no complaints. On the contrary, it would be a feast for the eyes.

Swish!

The curtains opened, and Elena appeared in a pure white dress.

“How is it?”

“Hmm. It’s pretty.”

“What about this one?”

“Hmm. It’s pretty.”

“…Are you doing this properly?”

“Of course. As proof, look at my thing.”

My dick was hard. I was holding back the urge to pounce on Elena right now. Elena laughed for a moment as if she was dumbfounded, then snapped her fingers. The curtains closed with magic.

“I like this one. Yu-jin, what do you think?”

“What’s there to say? It’s the best.”

Elena laughed, and I laughed too.
