Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 178
178. 5,000 Terra
At the larger amount than expected, Kairos asked cautiously.
[5,000… Terra is… isn’t that too much…?]
“You said you’d do anything if you could be forgiven.”
[That’s true, but…]
“It’s not like I’m asking for everything. Even if you divide the Terra among the three of us, you’ll still have some left, won’t you?”
[Even so, it’s just a pittance. If I give 5,000 each to the three of you, I’ll have almost nothing left.]
Though his voice was almost tearful, Lee Tae Seong ignored it.
Such things didn’t matter to him at all.
“It seems Lord Kairos doesn’t understand what the problem is right now. Don’t you see those displeased looks?”
Where Lee Tae Seong pointed, there were two other gods glaring at Kairos with menacing eyes.
[Kairos. So you’re saying you don’t want to give us Terra?]
[I’m disappointed, Kairos. Not only did you betray us, but now you’re being stingy with Terra too.]
[No, who said I wouldn’t give it? I’ll give it, but I’m saying it’s too much…]
[What’s so much about it? Like the Regressor said, it’s not like we’re taking everything.]
[That’s right. Now that I think about it, I should receive 5,000 Terra. There’s no other agreement besides that.]
Seeing the gods supporting his argument, Lee Tae Seong smiled quietly.
Since these were gods who couldn’t resist Terra, this united front was amusing.
“If you just give us 5,000 Terra, there won’t be any complaints. You can also preserve Lord Kairos’s dignity.”
[Hmm…]
Kairos pondered.
It wasn’t asking for all his Terra, but losing 15,000 would leave him with very little.
Terra was the source and energy of the gods.
When Terra decreased, it was common to be disliked or ignored by other gods.
‘But if I don’t give it…’
The atmosphere suggested they wouldn’t even treat him as a god.
Though it was precious, it seemed he could only be forgiven by the gods if he shared his assets.
There was no other choice.
[Ah, fine… If this is the only way I can convey my sincerity…]
[Good thinking, Kairos!]
[As expected. Kairos is magnanimous!]
Having made his decision, Kairos distributed Terra to the gods.
Orcus, Harmonion, and finally Lee Tae Seong.
As vast energy flowed in, a smile spread across Lee Tae Seong’s lips.
《Terra : 12,740》
It was an enormous amount.
Even before his regression, he hadn’t gathered this much Terra.
‘The first time I obtained Terra was when I passed the 500th Floor.’
But what about now?
He had received Terra before even reaching the 70th Floor, and becoming a demigod had increased his Terra vessel effect from 10% to 100%.
The snowball effect built with knowledge from before his regression had already surpassed his previous life’s power and then some.
On the other hand, what about Kairos?
After sharing his energy, he showed a drooping appearance as if lacking strength.
[Ugh… With so much power suddenly leaving me… I can’t even stand up.]
His voice felt much weaker than before.
His appearance had also shrunk to about one-tenth of its original size.
‘For now, maintaining that size is probably his limit.’
In contrast, the other gods were rejoicing, saying they had recovered all the Terra they had lost to him.
[Ahaha! This is totally amazing! I feel like I’m even stronger than before!]
Orcus laughed while examining his own body.
[That’s right! I’ve recovered the Terra I lost all this time!]
Harmonion was the same.
Having recovered their losses in one go, they couldn’t help but feel good.
[Kairos, thank you! Thanks to you, I’ve become stronger!]
[It’s nice that it’s resolved this way!]
[I’m, I’m glad you’re happy… Will you forgive me now?]
[Forgive? Our Kairos, when did you ever do anything wrong?]
[I’ve already forgotten everything!]
While the gods were rejoicing, Lee Tae Seong spoke up again.
“Lords. Aren’t you forgetting something?”
[Huh? What?]
“I’m talking about the Floor 560 sponsorship. I already cleared it before, so now you should give me Terra as a sponsorship reward, right?”
The expressions of both gods instantly hardened.
Orcus shouted in disbelief.
[Hey, wait a minute! You just received Terra from Kairos!]
[Isn’t that enough?]
“That’s that, and this is this.”
[….]
The other gods’ expressions twisted at Lee Tae Seong’s words.
“Everyone give me 1,800 Terra each. Lord Kairos is no exception.”
[What did you say…?]
An Apostle has the right to receive sponsorship from gods.
Lee Tae Seong’s demand was legitimate.
The pleasant mood was short-lived.
The gods had no choice but to give him Terra.
I came out of the Eternal Room and opened my status window first.

My Terra, which was 7,740, had skyrocketed to more than double.
It was incomparable to before.
‘With this much, I could handle multiple Administrators coming at me.’
It seemed like I could now handle someone like Abysalon alone.
No, I might even be able to win overwhelmingly.
It was satisfying growth.
‘Now the remaining sponsorship is Floor 640, only one left but….’
I need to squeeze out as much as possible somehow.
That’s the only way I’ll be able to face Amon and the Administrators.
‘Kairos won’t be able to side with the Administrators anymore either.’
The reason Kairos originally tried to kill me was because he was afraid the secret would be revealed.
But now it’s already spilled milk.
He might even be cheering me on as I face the Administrators.
The gods follow the Administrators not because they like them, but because they’re afraid of them.
‘It was surprising that Orcus and Harmonion weren’t on the Administrators’ side.’
This opportunity allowed me to clearly distinguish between allies and enemies.
‘Currently, my enemies are the Administrators.’
The God of Destruction, Amon, is still in an unknown state.
I want to go to the 666th Floor and meet him quickly.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground 580th Floor.]
《Type: Survival》
《Condition: Within 12 hours time limit without using skills》
《Mission: Block all incoming enemies.》
[You cannot exit until you clear the mission.]
Floors 580 to 589 were survival-type missions where you had to endure.
A tedious mission where you had to block enemies continuously attacking for 12 hours.
‘But the Administrators have modified this place too.’
Originally it was 2 hours, not 12 hours.
There was no skill usage restriction like now either.
‘It doesn’t matter. Even without using skills, I can perform area attacks with the Lightning Spear.’
Moreover, with the extended time, I could hunt more monsters.
That meant more items would drop as well.
I surveyed the terrain of the 580th floor.
It was a vast plain with only the spot where I stood formed as a small hill.
It wasn’t bad terrain for blocking enemies charging from all directions.
Rumble!
The ground vibrated as a horde of monsters began charging from the distance.
It was an enormous number that seemed to be in the thousands.
‘The quantity looks greater than before regression too.’
If it were before regression, I would have found the narrowest passage and endured while facing minimal forces.
‘But I’m not worried.’
With stats raised to 25,000, I should be able to handle them sufficiently.
‘Let’s see… I wonder how powerful these stats that I couldn’t even reach before regression are?’
The first monster horde reached the bottom of the hill.
Dark Twin Ogres charging with flashing red eyes.
I drew the Lightning Spear and took my stance.
Lightning began crackling at the spear tip.
The moment an ogre reached close range, I swung the spear.
Crackle!
It penetrated even the ogres behind, turning hundreds into pieces.
‘Such destructive power.’
There was no time to be amazed by the dimensionally different destructive force.
The monsters kept charging without rest.
‘They’ll keep coming like this for 12 hours straight.’
It could have been tedious, but I swung my spear at the monsters again.
Thinking of it as watching a lightning show, it wasn’t too boring.
