I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 347

◈ 347. [Side Story] New Year’s Day (3)

[Goddess Blessing] consisted of a total of two categories.

One is a simple buff.

The one that raises the overall stats of allies or boosts specific stats such as physical defense and magic defense.

The other side is a special buff. Even if you call it a buff, it’s more like a special ability.

Make a certain party not get tired for 1 hour, increase the power of allies’ cannons by 1.5 times, increase the probability of obtaining items, or increase the hostility of allies to a certain monster race… … .

“There are all sorts of things.”

Looking through the list, I let out a moan of admiration. All of them are delicious. Too bad I can only use one at a time.

“I can’t believe they just added such a nice feature… ! You lazy director!”

“Sobbing. Both I and the goddess worked hard to make it… … . Praise me… … .”

Awesome. okay. Where has it been added yet? The past is over, let’s think about the future.

“By the way, when does this trigger?”

“That’s the Lord’s heart.”

“You mean it can be used during defensive battles?”

“sure. Just keep in mind that it is only once per stage.”

Then you can see the opponent’s number and activate it a little later. Don’t use it hastily and save it as a trump card.

“Anyway, a goddess. Do you think he really exists? Please give me this kind of blessing too.”

“Of course you really exist. You are my co-worker.”

I think there was an expression that didn’t go well with God.

what? Colleague?

“First of all, he is the guardian of mankind, but he has no way to use his power in this world… You are doing this and that through me.”

“For now?”

“that is… It hasn’t been long since you were installed as the god of mankind.”

“… ?”

what the hell is that

“In this world, beings representing a race are given the opportunity to attain divine status,”

Ader began to explain calmly.

“There are several cases. It is usually designated when the members of the race are of one heart and one mind acknowledging someone as their representative. As a result, most of the ancestors of the tribe are sealed as tribal gods.”

So, the gods of the different races my father is fighting in the spirit world right now. Are they the ancestors of each race?

“And rarely… If there is no progenitor deity, the great person who saved the tribe from danger will be sealed as the tribal deity after death. It also requires the consent of many members of the tribe.”

“Goddess, then… ?”

“yes. It’s this case. They say you saved mankind hundreds of years ago.”

You seem to have done something historically great that I don’t know about. Hundreds of years more than that is not much by the standards of the gods?

“… And in a very rare case, when all of the people of the same species die, leaving only one member of the species left in the world.”

With a dry smile, Ader explained the last case.

“Even that last being is given a chance to attain divinity. It’s a bit of an eccentric concept, whether it’s a revival of the losers or the protection of endangered species… … .”

“… .”

I swallowed.

Then you, Ader, introduced yourself as a god.

Which of the three cases do you belong to… … ?

“Anyway, you can think that the Goddess is on our side.”

Ader spread his arms out wide and said.

“This person also wants a true ending. Maybe as much as we do.”

“… .”

I don’t know what God is or what the story above the sky is. Anyway, if you help me with the strategy, I will be grateful.

“Tell the goddess. I will think of it as a gift of blessing and receive it well.”

I smiled.

“And wish the goddess a happy new year too.”

“… .”

Ader, who had a surprised expression for a moment, eventually smiled bashfully.

“You will love it. I will be sure to tell you.”

We talked a lot more after that.

Particularly noteworthy was the 2nd Prince Fernandez. Apparently, a special task force invaded Crossroads this time.

“What the hell is Fernandez aiming for? Do you know anything?”

“Fernandez-sama is also a mystery to me. He always acted in order to become the emperor and stirred up rebellion… … It feels a little different this time.”

According to Ader, he had reset this world countless times and played the game countless times, but it seemed that this was the first time Fernandez had dispatched a special task force to convey his intention to surrender to the demon king.

Ader put his chin on his face with a serious face and murmured.

“In this game, variables that I have never experienced are bursting out like a landslide. I am not easily sure of anything.”

One thing is certain.

On the way to the true ending, I have to make a decision with Fernandez someday.

It would be nice if you could clean up Fernandez on the Lark Line, but… … I have a hunch that things won’t be that easy.

In fact, it is said that the civil war between the two princes has entered a stalemate.

After talking about a few other things about running the city, I finally showed Ader the terrarium I had brought with me.

“And Ader. This is the blue coral I received as a gift today.”

“Oh, blue coral? You have received something valuable.”

“Don’t you know how to raise it? I’m an outsider here… … .”

“Blue corals are friends who live well with just photosynthesis, and this terrarium seems to have a management magic.”

Ader nodded.

“I will change the water and feed them from time to time. Please leave it to me.”

Do you eat food too?

I don’t know much about the ecology of corals, but Ader seemed to know well anyway, so I decided to leave it to him.

“okay. I’ll put it in my room, so take good care of me.”

After I learn from what Ader is doing, I will change the water, feed him, and try again.

It’s a gift from Serenade, so I’d better take care of it myself.

“Oh and.”

I suddenly remembered something, so I added to Ader.

“If you have any leftover New Year’s stew from breakfast, could you wrap it up for me?”

Ader tilted his head.

“yes? What about the packaging?”

***

The afternoon after lunch.

Lake Kingdom Dungeon. base camp.

“Happy New Year~!”

I, who had visited with a package of food, exclaimed all of a sudden.

As soon as we put the food down next to the bonfire in the center of the base camp, the people staying at the base camp gathered one by one.

Kelly Bay approached sniffing, opened the lid of the pot, and admired it.

“Oh oh! What is this, little prince?”

“It is said that today is the first day of the new year according to the human calendar. So I brought some New Year’s food.”

“Hehe, has it already been that time?”

“And, of course, I brought a drink. Would you like a drink?”

“It’s good! Give it to me right now.”

Starting with Kelly Bay, I served people drinks and food.

When I offered to take it to base camp and share it, Ader cooked a new pot of stew. Thanks to you, there is enough to share.

“Ash! hello!”

As Belldandy and the Holy Grail Exploration Team greeted each other and approached, I brought out the other things I had brought with me.

“Come on, Verdandi. you… … Eat this too.”

“Oh my, what is this?”

“A pie with sunflower seeds and dried fruit. Lily baked it.”

It was something Lily baked for God Hand, but when I said I was going to base camp, God Hand asked me to give it to me.

In the first place, Lily baked enough for the Holy Grail Expedition.

“Wow! Sunflower seed pie!”

The five elves, who couldn’t stop talking about sunflower seeds, bubbled their ears with excitement (!) and quickly took the pie.

“eat well… It’s hard to say instead, but I have a small request. Will it be okay?”

Unable to bear the bird, Belldandi, who had been chewing on the pie, widened her eyes.

“Sure! Just say the word!”

“… A human has entered this lake kingdom.”

I explained Mason’s impression.

“I want to put a bounty on this man. If you find one, capture it alive if possible… … If it doesn’t work out, I’d rather kill you and catch you.”

Wanted: Dead or Alive.

When I spoke heavily, Belldandy nodded with a heavy face. The cheeks filled with pie were still puffy. Are you a squirrel?

“All right. I’ll try to find it within our search range… … Mumble.”

In addition to that, he delivered food and alcohol to several residents of the base camp he had met, and announced Mason’s bounty request.

Everyone nodded happily.

After handing a bottle of new alcohol to Coco’s old woman.

My work at base camp was almost over, so I rode the teleport gate again.

The destination is Area 5 [The Coliseum where the fireworks explode].

Flash!

Upon arrival, there was the sound of a hammer hitting stone briskly. Ground, ground… … .

I saw a muscular man working diligently on a wall of the collapsing Coliseum. I called his name

“Jackal!”

The surprised man turned to me. Beneath the jackal mask on his face, his mouth curled into a welcome smile.

“majesty!”

This is Jackal, the NPC boss of the Colosseum.

After standing guard at the base camp for a while, he had recently returned to the Colosseum after starting restoration work.

“What are you doing all this way!”

I opened the pot I was carrying to the jackal who jumped down.

“It’s a lot of trouble. Eat new and do it. It’s New Year’s outside, so I’ve made some New Year’s stew.”

“Wow, how long have you been eating this… Thank you! thank you for this food.”

The jackal must have been hungry, so he took the hot pot and began to scoop up the wagu wagu stew with a ladle. It’s good to see you eating well.

“By the way, where are the men?”

I looked at the empty construction site and muttered curiously.

The reason Jackal came back here in the first place was because his monster subordinates had returned.

So, restoration work was started, but now it is empty.

The last time I saw it, dozens of goblins were hammering together, but now the walls are empty.

“that is… We were together until a few days ago.”

Jackal tore the bread he had brought with him, soaked it in stew, stuffed it into his mouth, and answered with a mumble.

“Because the Goblin God King issued an order to summon all goblins… It has gone back.”

“God King? Who else is that?”

“Goblin God King Kali-Alexandre. He is the god and king of the goblins.”

“Ah, King God Goblin!”

I remembered snapping my fingers.

God King, which means ‘god and king’, is ‘God King’ in English.

That’s why the goblin god king was teased by users as ‘King God Goblin’.

He had a great name, but he was the weakest of all the bosses, so he was even more teased.

Seriously, when this guy appeared on the boss stage, it was to the point of being said to have been ridden.

‘Then this stage is a goblin? This is great. I’ll break it easily.’

The boss is also weak and the goblin racial characteristic is a quantity war, but in the game there is a limit to material implementation, so at most it is two or three times that of other legions.

But since the object is the weakest goblin.

In the game, the goblin army was practically a resting stage.

Without realizing it, I was relieved and smiled. Then the jackal hardened his face.

“majesty. You don’t think the Goblin God King is an easy opponent, do you?”

“Yes?”

Did you tease me too much? I hurriedly straightened my face.

“Never let your guard down. Of all the fabled monsters here, he has done the most damage to humans.”

Jackal explained seriously about the Goblin God King.

“Carly-Alexandre. Her name is Alexandre, and the prefix ‘Kali-’ is what the goblins give to their god.”

Hmmm, there is a god here too.

“To the extent that a living king can be given this title, you know how legendary he is among the goblins.”

“Are you that great?”

“He is the king who commanded the ‘Great Goblin Invasion’, which swallowed up one-third of the entire world in the western part of the continent. The damage suffered at that time was so great that it is said that the western part of the continent has not yet recovered from that damage.”
