Leveling Up Through Eating

Chapter 778



Chapter 778

Minhyuk had always been introduced like that. It had started with the Greatest God, Athenae. She would often say, ‘The Lowest God…’ Even the Absolute Gods would also say, ‘He is the God at the Lowest Place…’

As such, anyone who heard it would think, ‘The Lowest God?’

This was actually a way to increase the tension. None of the gods had used such remarks to mock him. So far, Minhyuk had accepted it with ease.

‘I am obviously the god standing at the lowest place.’

He was a pitiful god who could barely even build an empire of his own, despite his credibility and background. Perhaps more so than being a god, it was more suitable to call him a Human King.

However, he was throwing away that title at the moment.

[I am the God that stands at the highest place.]

A deep and majestic voice resounded in the area, the tone and meaning of the words heavy. At the same time, Obren’s voice rang from within the Puzzling Seasoning Jar, ‘That’s right. You will become the God that will stand at the highest place.’

Then, Minhyuk’s ‘Sword of Carnage’ fell upon the 80-meter-tall God of Happiness.

Kwiiiiiiiik, kwiiiiiiiik, kwiiiiiiiiik!” The God of Happiness shrieked and screamed as blood spurted out of his body, and his body tilted to one side and fell down loudly. Hundreds of buildings were swept away, and a thick cloud of dust rose due to the impact.

“…”

“…”

Everyone was silent.

Kwiiiiiiiik! Kwiiiiiiik!

The God of Happiness was shrieking from the pain, but it felt like everything was silent. Everyone was speechless as they watched Minhyuk emerge from the cloud of dust and walk away from the God of Happiness.

‘The highest… god…?’

‘A mere human?’

‘Our dear Noble?’

Were those empty words? They clearly heard him say it with his own mouth. But after seeing him knock down the God of Happiness, the people of Happy Island truly felt like he was a god that stood at the highest place. Rather than a god that they could not see or reach, the Noble in front of them seemed more real.

“Goooooood!!!” Effer, who vomited another mouthful of blood, shouted, “I beg of you, please take care of my people!!!”

Effer squeezed the last of his strength and shouted, despite the blood that gurgled out of his mouth. Minhyuk could tell why he did that.

[The residents of Happy Island believe in you.]

[The residents of Happy Island’s faith in you is soaring.]

[The residents of Happy Island do not have any doubt in you.]

[You are the Happy Island’s ‘Noble’!]

At this moment, even if someone appeared to denounce him, for the residents of Happy Island, Minhyuk was the god that stood at the highest place.

Kuweeeeeeeeeeeck!” The God of Happiness released a loud roar as he hurriedly lifted his body up. “Kwiiiiiik! Kwiiiiiiik! Kwiiiiiiik!

The God of Happiness’ large body slowly deflated and shrank until it was only forty meters in height. However, Minhyuk’s eyes remained cold, arrogant and majestic. Seeing those eyes, the God of Happiness could not help but take a step back.

[Obscure Snacks.]

[A snack will be created in five minutes.]

[The snack’s buff effect will be randomly selected!]

Minhyuk continued to look mockingly at the retreating God of Happiness as a huge cauldron appeared behind him.

Then, steam escaped from the lid of the cauldron. An easy-to-eat snack, which contained the buff effect that the item user needed the most, was being cooked inside. The only downside was that the buff effect was entirely up to luck. If their luck was bad, they might even get a dish that was counterproductive.

Minhyuk glanced above the head of the God of Happiness.

[God of Happiness. Level 787.]

The god had a really high level. He also had extremely high HP and defense. His attack and damage upon impact were probably higher than the other gods’ attack power and damage.

The God of Happiness, who was stepping further away from Minhyuk, might be in the form of a black pig, but it did not mean that he was a fool. Even though the man in front of him had declared that he was the God standing at the highest place, he was still a mere human being.

The slightly smaller God of Happiness snorted. “Kwiiiiiiiiiiik!” Then, he charged fiercely toward Minhyuk.

[God’s Lightning Speed.]

[The God of Happiness’ speed has tripled.]

The God of Happiness might have a huge body, but he was charging at the speed of light, breaking the ground beneath him as he went. However, Minhyuk did not evade or shy away from his attack. All he did was say, “Heaven Tearing Sword.”

[A five-meter-long sword light is moving toward the enemy.]

[There is a 70% chance of enemies falling into a two-second stunned state after getting directly hit by the five-meter-long sword light.]

[If the sword light directly hits the target, an additional 3,500% damage will be inflicted.]

[There is a 7% chance of the enemy falling into a six-second stunned state after getting directly hit by the sword light.]

A sword light shot out from Minhyuk’s sword and flew straight toward the God of Happiness’ face. The God of Happiness could not evade. After all, he was charging at the speed of light and did not have the leeway to stop in his tracks or change directions.

Boooooooooooom—

The Heaven Tearing Sword pierced through the head of the God of Happiness and continued on its way, destroying several more buildings behind the god.

Kuwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiik!

Blood spurted out from the hole created by the sword light. Minhyuk smiled faintly at the sight.

[The 7% chance of the enemy falling into a six-second stunned state has been triggered!]

The body of the God of Happiness turned stiff like a stone. Then, the arrogant human took a step toward him.

Kwiiiiiiiiiiik!” The God of Happiness squealed and tried to get away, but it was to no avail.

Minhyuk raised his sword, which was carrying the character ‘Destruction’ on its blade.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaang—!

Sixteen bolts of red lightning fell upon the body of the God of Happiness the moment Minhyuk swung his sword down.

Kwiiiiiiiiiiiik!” The pig squealed loudly in the area.

[Destruction.]

[Bloody lightning bolts with an additional 1,600% damage have been triggered!]

[Destruction.]

[Bloody lightning bolts with an additional 1,600% damage…]

[Destruction.]

[Bloody lightning bolts with an additional 1,600%…]

The notifications rang constantly as bloody lightning bolts fell down from the sky one after another. The worst part was that Destruction also had a stun effect.

[The 40% chance of your enemy falling into a three-second stunned state has been triggered.]

Kwiiiiiiiiiik…!

The face of the God of Happiness, who believed that he would now be able to escape this torture, turned ugly.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Whenever he thought that he would be able to escape, another notification would ring in his ears.

[The 40% chance…falling into a three second…]

[The 40% chance…falling into a three second…]

[The 40% chance…]

Everyone was left in shock. For the residents of Happy Island, the God of Happiness was someone that they had always been worshiping. They believed that it was because of him that Happy Island’s peace was maintained, that he was the reason why Happy Island existed.

However, the human king, no, the God standing at the highest place, was beating the God of Happiness like a dog and even left him in an infinite stunned state.

“He, he really is the God standing at the highest place…”

“There’s no other words to explain it other than that, no?”

[The residents of Happy Island have started to deify you.]

[As the God of Minhyuk Religion, your divine power will slightly increase.]

Meanwhile, Minhyuk’s cauldron finally finished making the snack.

[A snack has been created!]

Swoosh—

The lid of the cauldron slid open.

Minhyuk had already healed most of the injuries that he sustained earlier through the use of ‘Slaughterer’s Absorption.’ Even his left arm, which had been broken, was already healed and was able to move once again.

He reached his left hand out and grabbed the snack deep inside the cauldron. The snack was none other than a piping hot hoppang. Minhyuk immediately checked the hoppang’s buff effect after hitting the God of Happiness once again.

‘This is amazing.’

Of course, he did not stop there. He also triggered Double Food and duplicated the hoppang in his hands. Then, he also triggered the ‘Overlapping Delight’ skill.

[Overlapping Delight.]

[You can now receive the effects of two dishes.]

[The duration of the buff effect will depend on the number on the die cast.]

Minhyuk immediately took a bite of the hoppang in his hands. The greatest advantage of the Obscure Snack was that he could get a buff effect even if he did not cook.

After tearing through the hot bread, Minhyuk finally reached the sweet and still steaming red bean paste inside.

‘Ho~’

He quickly blew on the red bean paste and chomped on the snack. As someone who could eat one hoppang in two bites, Minhyuk finished both the hoppangs in a flash.

Clack, clack, clack—

Then, a golden dice appeared behind him and rolled in place. However, before the number in the dice appeared, there was a change in the situation with the God of Happiness.

Kuweeeeeeeeeck!

After being hit repeatedly by the lightning bolts, the eyes of the God of Happiness turned red.

[The God of Happiness’ Roar.]

[The God of Happiness can now resist abnormal statuses.]

[Happiness’ Black Pig Army has appeared in answer to the God of Happiness’ Roar.]

[The Happiness’ Black Pig Army will crush everything around them for three minutes!]

Minhyuk felt that something unusual had happened when he felt the vibrations in the ground. That was when he saw more than 5,000 black pigs running toward them from a distance.

[Happiness’ Black Pig. Level 632.]

The Black Pig Army with an unusually high level came barging in and charged through buildings.

Baaaaaaaaang—

At that moment, the God of Happiness, who finally got free from the abnormal status that tied him down, slammed into Minhyuk.

“Ugh!”

Effer, who watched Minhyuk fly back, saw flames engulf the thousands of pigs. These pigs left behind soaring flames wherever they went.

‘The Happy Island that I have treasured and cherished is doomed.’

Effer’s consciousness was fading in and out now that he was about to die. When he came back to his senses again, he could see that the thousands of black pigs were already approaching the walls.

‘Is he really the god that stands at the highest place?’

Meanwhile, the God of Happiness commanded his Happiness’ Black Pig Army to devour and destroy everything around them. After causing enough destruction, they finally turned toward the walls.

That was when a brilliant and blinding golden light shone brightly above them. The light came from none other than the golden dice, which was displaying the number six.

[The die has been cast! You have rolled a six!]

[The Overlapping Delight’s buff effect will last for seven minutes!]

[You have rolled a 6, your EXP Acquisition Rate will double for seven minutes!]

[You have received the effects of the Epic Grade Hoppang and the Epic Grade Hoppang.]

[Your sword’s cutting power has increased by 150%.]

[Your sword’s basic attack has increased by 270%.]

[Your skill Sword of Absolute Death’s level has increased by +4.]

Minhyuk, who stood next to Effer, mumbled, “Use God’s SP.”

The dying Effer looked up at Minhyuk. Minhyuk smiled softly at him before saying, “Use everything on the Sword of Absolute Death.”

Immediately after that, Minhyuk swung his sword toward the charging God of Happiness and the Happiness’ Black Pig Army.

[The Absolute Gods are watching the Highest God!]

[The Greatest God is watching you!]

‘Is that so? Is he really the god that stands at the highest place?’ Effer thought as he continued to watch Minhyuk.

Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash!

Sword lights shot out from Minhyuk’s sword the moment he swung it down. Then, tens of thousands of swords bloomed from these lights, which devoured the Happiness’ Black Pig Army until they were nothing but dust floating in the sky.

Among these thousands of swords, there were nine sword lights that shone brighter than the rest. These sword lights flew swiftly and cut down the God of Happiness.

Crackleeeee—

Kwiiiiiiiiiiiiik…!

[You have killed the God of Happiness!]

The huge body of the God of Happiness slowly fell down. At the same time, the bodies of the charging Happiness’ Black Pig Army turned to ash that disappeared with the wind.

Effer smiled faintly.

‘What a relief. My people will stay with the god standing at the highest place.’

Minhyuk sat down and looked at Effer, who had a faint smile on his face as he finally succumbed to eternal rest.

Minhyuk used his voice, the Food God’s Voice, for Effer, declaring loudly.

[The King loved and cherished his people dearly.]
