Black Tower Administrator Area.

Kekekeke. I found it!

Aileen, who had been searching for power of destruction with her destruction detector for several hours, rejoiced when she found its location.

[One of the divine relic owned by Sejun, the tower farmer of the Black Tower, has disappeared.]

[One of the black towers growth conditions changes to unachieved.]

An alarm appeared on the crystal orb.

What?! Who dared to mess with Sejuns relic?

Aileen hurriedly used the crystal orb to find Sejun and locate the one who had taken his relic.

However, no suspicious figure appeared in the crystal orb.

Sejun, dont worry! Ill take care of it! Grandpa-!

Aileen called for Kaisers help.

***

What?! Someone dared to touch our Sejuns relic?! Got it. Leave it to me.

Upon hearing Aileens words, Kaiser flew swiftly to Sejun.

And then,

Vice Chairman Theo, wake up!

Kueng! Kueng!

[Big brother, Cuengi was trying to protect you! You mustnt die!]

What Kaiser saw was Sejun holding the collapsed Theo, with Cuengi crying hysterically beside them.

Sejun, what happened?

Kaiser-nim, please help! Theo was struck by a red light and collapsed!

A red light?

Kueng Kueng

[Cuengi was scolding the relic was messing with dad and it broke while punishing it]

Cuengi explained the recent events.

You heard the voice of Battler, the god of battle?

Kueng!

[Yes!]

Listening to Cuengis explanation, Kaiser pondered.

Did he descend directly?

Kaiser had sensed a different aura from Theos body and was now beginning to understand.

That rascal Battler must have entered Theos body to take over.

Dont worry. Ill handle it. Mental Dive.

Kaiser placed the hand of the black dragon statue on Theos body and entered Theos mental world.

***

What what is this?!

Seeing the enormous Sejun growing larger, the god of battle, Battler, was astonished. Can it grow even bigger here?

To become a spiritual entity of that size, one would need an enormous amount of divine power or receive immense faith from the owner of this mental world.

Not just immense faith, but absolute belief without a shred of doubt, would be required to explain such a size.

However,

Thats impossible

Everyone has a self, so its impossible to absolutely trust someone more than oneself.

Moreover, he had never heard of a god maintaining such a size with divine power in these times when gathering divine power was difficult.

An incomprehensible phenomenon.

Slap!

Whats important now is not that nonsense. I am Battler, the god of battle. I will defeat any enemy!

Battler slapped his own cheeks to rouse his fighting spirit.

However, it was a futile effort.

Puhuhut. Now Ive super-giant Chairman Park, meow! Super-giant Chairman Park, punish Battler, meow!

Punish him

Responding to Theos shout while clinging to the super-giant Sejuns knee, the super-giant Sejun slowly reached out his hand.

Hmph!

Battler scoffed and tried to dodge Sejuns hand lightly.

Thud.

Ugh! I cant move!

Under the pressure created by the super-giant Sejuns hand, Battler couldnt move an inch and ended up captured by Sejuns hand.

I, the god of battle, a prisoner

This alone was already a significant disgrace

How dare you disregard my Chairman Park, meow! And you tried to hurt my little brother Cuengi, meow! Ill punish you, meow!

Slap. Slap.

Theos tiny front paw, smaller than Battlers fingernails, slapped him. It didnt hurt, but it made him feel even more mocked.

You! Dont you know the pride of a warrior?! Treat me like a warrior!

Unable to bear the humiliation, Battler shouted while simultaneously preparing to escape at the first opportunity.

Though the power of the super-giant Sejun was strong, it wasnt enough to completely destroy Battler.

As Battler gritted his teeth,

Meow?! I dont know anything about a warriors treatment, meow! Instead, Ill let you stamp this, meow!

With Theos words, a contract appeared.

What?! A stamp?!

Battler frowned at the mention of a stamp. Because he had seen many gods fall to ruin after stamping wrong contracts.

Puhuhut. Thats right, meow! You just need to stamp here, meow!

No way!

Battler clenched his thumb into a fist to avoid stamping, but a small gap inevitably formed.

Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, never give up, meow!

As a cat, Theo easily slipped into the gap and

Press.

Stamped Battlers thumb on the contract. It was so small that Battler felt nothing.

However,

Meow?!

Why isnt it stamping, meow? Battlers thumbprint didnt appear on the contract.

Somethings wrong, meow!

Even after multiple attempts, when the stamp didnt appear,

My slave Gaeron, come out, meow!

Theo summoned Gaeron.

Did you call for me, Theo~nim?

Yes! Gaeron, why isnt the stamp working, meow?

Theo asked while pressing Battlers thumb on the contract.

Ah. This happens when theres a significant disparity in power between the parties. If the other party rejects, the stamp wont take.

Meow?! Then if he agrees, it will work, meow?!

Yes. If the other party consents, its possible.

Puhuhut. Understood, meow!

I just need to get Battlers consent, meow!

Theo~nim, who owns this hand?

This guy is Battler, the god of battle, meow!

What?! The god of battle, Battler?!

Are you trying to make the god of battle your slave?!

Gaeron, you know him too, meow?!

Of course! Hes one of the highest-ranking gods!

Gaeron responded in an excited voice.

But its definitely impossible yet Gaeron thought, Maybe Theo could do it?

If Theo got Battlers stamp, the hierarchy would Im senior, so Id be higher, right?

The heart of Gaeron, the God of Jewel Frogs, swelled with grandeur at the thought of having the God of battle, Battler as his junior.

Theo~nim, good luck!

Puhuhut. Got it, meow! Gaeron, you can go back now, meow!

Theo dismissed Gaeron and slipped back out of the gap.

Battler, consent to the stamp, meow!

Hmph! Id rather die than stamp that!

Stamp it, meow!

No way!

Battler stubbornly refused to stamp.

Super-giant Chairman Park, punish him, meow!

Squeeze!

At Theos command, the super-giant Sejun tightened his grip on Battler, but

Useless!

Battler resisted to the end.

Stamp it, meow!

No!

As Theo and Battler continued their tussle,

Huh?! Whats this? Did I enter the wrong mind? But Sejuns mental strength shouldnt be this strong

The great black dragon Kaiser, who had entered Theos mental world, was bewildered upon seeing the much larger super-giant Sejun.

He had definitely entered Theos mental world, but seeing the giant Sejun made him think he had mistakenly entered Sejuns mind.

Puhuhut. Kaiser~nim, its so good to see you, meow!

Theo, clinging to the knee of the super-giant Sejun, greeted Kaiser warmly.

Seeing Kaiser gave Theo an idea on how to get the stamp. If theres a power difference, reduce it!

Theo, youre truly beyond imagination.

Kaiser, understanding the situation as he saw Theo waving his paw at him, was astounded.

He knew Theo trusted Sejun, but not to this extent. It was an endless, boundless trust.

To Theo, Sejun was a god. An absolute god. No deity could defeat Sejun within Theos mental world.

Theo, but where is Battler?

Puhuhut. Hes over there, meow!

Theo pointed to the hand of the super-giant Sejun, where Battler was seen there with his head bowed in defeat.

-Kuhahaha. No way. Whos this? Isnt it Battler, the God of battle?

Kaiser, who had initially prepared for a fight with Battler, now relished in the sight. He deliberately faced Battler, who was trying to avoid eye contact, taunting him.

The two had known each other since before the tower existed and did not have a good relationship.

-Eek!

Battler, embarrassed to be seen in such a humiliating position by Kaiser, wanted to flee but was helplessly restrained by the super-giant Sejun.

At that moment,

Puhuhut. Kaiser~nim, could you stamp this for me, meow?

Theo held out the contract to Kaiser.

A stamp?

Thats right, meow! You just need to stamp it here, meow!

Theo pointed to the designated spot on the contract, next to where his own paw print was already stamped.

Theo planned to elevate his status by getting Kaisers stamp and then obtain Battlers stamp.

Hahaha. Of course, Ill stamp it for you.

Thud.

Kaiser willingly stamped the contract.

Thank you, Kaiser~nim, meow! Now I can get the stamp, meow!

No, thank you. To be able to personally watch the scene of Battler becoming a slave.

Hurry and get the stamp.

Puhuhut. Got it, meow!

With Kaisers stamp, Theo eagerly dashed into the gap of Battlers hand and

Press.

obtained Battlers stamp.

This cant be I clearly blocked it, how?! Am I really a slave now? The god of battle, Battler? This is impossible!

Puhuhut. Its possible, meow! Slave, hand over something useful for Chairman Park, meow!

Theo began to extort the newly enslaved Battler.

Hahaha. That guy, Battler, has a lot of good stuff, so ask for everything.

Puhuhut. Got it, meow!

Kaiser encouraged Theo, watching with amusement as Theo extorted Battler.

A little later,

Meow?! Is this really all, meow?! For every new thing I find I will have Kaiser~nim hit you with a breath, meow!

Theo, holding an armful of potions, skill stones, and weapons he had taken from Battler, asked.

-Now I really dont have any more

Battler replied in a voice of utter resignation.

Meow?! Why arent there any divine relics, meow?! Hand over the divine relics, meow!

What?!

Hearing Theo demand divine relics after taking everything else from him, Battler was left speechless.

Do you think divine relics are that common?!

Are you sure you dont have any divine relics, meow?

Yes, and the one I did have got destroyed by that bear

Slap.

Hes not a bear; hes my little brother Cuengi! But Battler, youre totally penniless, meow!

Theo reprimanded Battler for calling Cuengi a bear and spoke in a dismissive tone.

What?! I have a lot compared to others!

Battler, enraged by Theos words, shouted in frustration.

Got it, meow! Ill believe you, meow! Next time, bring even more, meow!

Hmph! There probably wont be a next time!

As Battlers descent time ended, he shouted with relief and disappeared.

And then,

Puhuhut. We will meet again, meow!

Theo looked at the spot where Battler had vanished, feeling certain they would cross paths again.

Theo, see you outside.

Puhuhut. Got it, meow!

After Kaiser disappeared, Theo packed the items he received from Battler into his bag.

Lets meet again, super-giant Chairman Parks lap, meow!

Theo hugged the knee of the super-giant Sejun tightly and closed his eyes.

Meow

Vice Chairman Theo, are you okay?

When the unconscious Theo opened his eyes, Sejun asked with a worried voice.

Kaiser had reassured Sejun before leaving, but he was still concerned.

However,

Puhuhut even with my eyes open, Im on Chairman Parks lap, meow! As expected, the real Chairman Parks lap is the best, meow!

Seeing Theo happily rubbing his body on his knee, Sejun felt there was no need to worry, just as Kaiser had said.

What are you talking about? Get up already.

Sejun, needing to find wood to cook porridge since gaurdian wooden shield was gone, tried to get up hurriedly.

At that moment,

Puhuhut. Chairman Park, Ive got something good, meow!

Theo emptied his bag, revealing the items he had received from Battler, and Sejun sat back down to examine them.

Among the items were two unending staffs that could be used as firewood.

Oh. Vice Chairman Theo, well done!

Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, always do well, meow!

Theo replied in a haughty voice, vigorously rubbing his forehead against the hand that was patting him.
