Side Story Chapter 152 - Tower of Creation (10)

“...”

Oh Kang-Woo was left confused as he read the message window before him.

‘The fuck?’

He couldn’t understand why the God of Depravity would ask for the color of his underwear even as the Law of Titans restricted her.

[Underwear color? Underwear color? Underwear color? Underwear color? Underwear color?]

[The ‘God of Depravity’ is deeply interested in the color of your underwear!!]

“Excuse me?”

[The ‘God of Heaven’ sighs deeply.]

[The ‘God of Compassion’ expresses frustration.]

[The ‘God of Malevolence’ hides.]

The Constellations were up in a stir the moment the God of Depravity appeared. They showed various reactions but most of them were negative.

‘What the hell has this bitch done?’

Kang-Woo wondered what the God of Depravity did to make the other Constellations so wary of her.

[The ‘God of Depravity’ giggles ecstatically!]

The God of Depravity burst into laughter as if finding the Constellations’ reactions funny.

Riiing! Riiing! Riiing! Riiing!

Bell chimes echoed endlessly.

[Start the stream! Start the stream! Start the stream! Start the stream! Start the stream! Start the stream! Start the stream! Start the stream! Start the stream! Start the stream! Start the stream! Start the stream!]

[Today’s underwear color is RAINBOW RAINBOW RAINBOW RAINBOW RAINBOW RAINBOW.]

[Ahhh you’re doing it wrong LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO]

Kang-Woo was flooded with revelations. He was getting dizzy because the messages echoed in his head as they appeared in the corner of his vision.

[Why aren’t you climbing? Aren’t you gonna do a handstand like last time? Embarrassed?]

[Chicken? Chicken? Chicken? Chicken? Chicken? Chicken?]

[Man, just don’t climb today and show me your underwear.]

“...”

Kang-Woo closed his eyes. The revelations that appeared every second without rest were burying the reactions of the other Constellations.

‘Ahhh.’

Kang-Woo realized what kind of individual the God of Depravity was.

‘This bitch is one of

those

viewers.’

The God of Depravity seemed to be one of those attention-seekers who commented on things unrelated to the stream, or the tower climb in this case. Not only did these kinds of viewers annoy the streamer but annoyed the other viewers. The entire stream would be ruined if such people were left to be.

‘The problem is...’

There was no

ban

system like in streaming platforms, leaving Kang-Woo no choice but to deal with the annoyance.

[The ‘God of Heaven’ criticizes the God of Depravity!]

[The ‘God of Adventure’ yells at the God of Depravity!]

[The ‘God of Compassion’ points fingers at the God of Depravity!]

The other Constellations scolded the God of Depravity but it only made the attention whore even happier.

[The ‘God of Depravity’ bursts into laughter!]

As Kang-Woo expected, the God of Depravity simply enjoyed the Constellations’ criticisms.

“I will ignore her and keep climbing,” Kang-Woo stated.

All he could do at the moment was to not give the attention whore any ammunition. The constant message chimes echoing in his mind annoyed him but the God of Depravity would cling to him even stronger if he got mad.

He frowned and continued walking. Just then, Rebecca Fowler suddenly ran out of the temple and toward him.

She shouted, “Sir Kang-Woo!!! Please wait!! What did you mean when you said you were the Demon King?!”

Riiing!

[The ‘God of Depravity’ offers you a mission!]

[Strangle the apostle of the ‘God of Compassion,’ ‘Rebecca Fowler.’]

[Mission Clear Reward: 100,000 Nebula.]

“...”

‘The hell is this?’

Kang-Woo frowned as he checked the mission contents. She was telling him to kill another Constellation’s apostle.

‘I don’t even have to think about this.’

“I will respectfully decline.”

[You have declined the mission!]

Kang-Woo could easily kill Rebecca but he would gain the God of Compassion’s resentment if he accepted the mission.

‘I mean, it would be fine if it was just the God of Compassion.’

The other Constellations on the good side would surely turn their backs on Kang-Woo. Not only that but other Constellations who did not want him being the God of Poverty's puppet would also leave. No one was interested in watching a stream where the streamer did everything an attention whore told them to do.

[The ‘God of Compassion’ stands up in rage!]

[The ‘God of Depravity’ jumps in joy!]

The God of Depravity couldn’t be happier despite Kang-Woo rejecting her mission, likely because her goal was to taunt the God of Compassion all along.

“Sir Kang-Woo...? What’s wrong?” Rebecca asked as she narrowed her eyes.

“Nothing.”

Kang-Woo shook his head as he looked around. Around a hundred apostles were mumbling around him before he realized it.

[The ‘God of Depravity’ offers you a mission!]

[Slaughter every apostle you see.]

[Mission Clear Reward: 500,000 Nebula.]

“...”

500,000 Nebula was worth far more than the effort he would have to put in.

“I will respectfully decline.”

[You have declined the mission!]

However, he would lose far more than what he could gain if he accepted the mission.

[The ‘God of Depravity’ jeers at you!]

The sound of booing echoed in Kang-Woo’s head.

“...”

Kang-Woo frowned fiercely.

[I would’ve just killed them all and took the Nebula.]

[What a loser~ Refusing practically free Nebula, like a moron~ LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO~]

“...”

[What? Angry? Frustrated?]

Her taunts couldn’t be more childish. No one would think she was a Constellation based on her undignified behavior but such behavior was more effective when bringing attention to themselves. The God of Depravity was likely acting this way, knowing that.

[Yooo~ Don’t get mad and tell me your underwear color.]

[Underwear color? Underwear color? Underwear color? Underwear color? Underwear color?Underwear color? Underwear color? Underwear color? Underwear color? Underwear color?Underwear color? Underwear color? Underwear color?]

The endless gut-wrenching taunts were slowly eating away at Kang-Woo’s patience.

‘You wanna go, is it...?’

Kang-Woo had reached the end of his patience; an irresistible impulse boiled inside him, making the back of his neck hot.

[The ‘God of Depravity’ offers you a mission!]

𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

[Take off your pants right now and show the God of Depravity your underwear.]

[Mission Clear Reward: 50,000 Nebula.]

The mission couldn’t be more humiliating. It would have been a different story if Kang-Woo were alone but Rebecca and over a hundred other apostles were around him.

[Why aren’t you taking it off?]

[You can do a handstand and spin around in front of people but not take your pants off?]

[Wow, you just have no intention of making Nebula, do you~? Constellations, don’t donate any Nebula to him anymore~~]

[Why sponsor him if he doesn’t even do the missions I offer him? This is all~ because he sees us Constellations as pushovers~]

Something snapped inside Kang-Woo’s head.

“Ahhh.”

He knew he had to ignore people like this but he couldn’t take it anymore.

“Alright, fine.”

‘If you want attention so much, I’ll give it to you.’

“I decline the mission.”

‘Take a good look, you moronic bitch who cackles at her own madness.’

‘I’ll especially show you what【true madness】is.’

[SHOW ME SHOW ME SHOW ME SHOW ME SHOW ME SHOW ME SHOW ME.]

“I can’t show you my underwear because—”

Kang-Woo looked around at the hundreds of gazes on him and let his demonic energy burst forth.

Boom—!!!

His clothes were ripped to shreds.

“I’m not wearing any.”

His bare body was exposed for everyone to see.

“KYAAAAAAAAHHH!!!”

“WH-WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!”

“H-HE’S CRAZY!!! THERE’S A LUNATIC ON THE LOOSE!!!”

“AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!”

The eyes of the screaming apostles were on him.

[The ‘God of Depravity’ widens her eyes!]

[The ‘God of Heaven’ is left wide-mouthed!]

[The ‘God of Adventure’ falls to his knees!]

[The ‘God of Compassion’ covers her eyes!]

[The ‘God of Compassion’ peeks at you through the space between her fingers!]

“Aaaahh.”

The ear-splitting revelations stopped. The attention of the Constellations had shifted from the Gond of Depravity to him because the scene in front of them was so shocking that they had no leeway to pay an attention whore any mind.

“Right, then,” remarked Kang-Woo, who had become the focus of apostles and Constellations. “Let us resume the climb.”

He confidently walked toward the Gate that led to the next floor.

[The ‘God of Depravity’ grits her teeth!]

Attention whores tended to get angry if attention was taken from them. The God of Depravity shook in rage now that the Constellations were all focused on Kang-Woo.

‘It’s too late, bitch.’

Kang-Woo smiled as he read the message before him. He had gained the initiative; the Constellations would no longer pay attention to the God of Depravity no matter how annoying she acted. Just like how one couldn’t see the stars when the sun was up, the God of Depravity’s attention-seeking actions were overwritten by Kang-Woo’s insane behavior.

“Okay.”

Kang-Woo ignored the shaking God of Depravity and entered the translucent Gate.

[Moving to the ‘Trial Zone’ that leads to the forty-first floor.]

[A boss monster-type beast will appear on the forty-first floor.]

[The forty-first floor has yet to be cleared. You cannot give up on the trial until the failure condition is fulfilled.]

Kang-Woo was teleported to a white ice mountain along with a familiar sensation.

Boom! Boom!

A white dragon appeared from within the raging blizzard.

[A nine-star beast【Ice Dragon Velkhana】has appeared!]

As Rebecca mentioned, the energy emitted by the dragon was on another level compared to the beasts Kang-Woo had fought thus far. Kang-Woo faced the dragon in his birthday suit.

[The ‘God of Heaven’ anticipates your battle!]

[The ‘God of Games’ cheers!]

The Constellations were getting fired up. Just then—

[The ‘God of Depravity’ bites her lip!]

[The ‘God of Depravity’ offers you a mission!]

The God of Depravity gave Kang-Woo another mission, not having given up yet.

‘You’re reaching new lows, my friend.’

Kang-Woo clicked his tongue and shook his head. He waited to see what kind of absurd mission the God of Depravity would give him this time.

[Be killed by Ice Dragon Belkhana.]

[Mission Clear Reward: 10,000,000 Nebula.]

“...”

The mission could only be cleared by dying. As Kang-Woo had expected, it was absurd.

“Pfft!”

No— to be exact, it only

seemed

absurd.

“Bwehehehehehehehehe!!!”

Kang-Woo grabbed his stomach as he burst into laughter. He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

‘So, this is how you’re gonna play it, huh?’

No matter how amazing the clear reward was, the mission was impossible to clear.

“I accept.”

‘For everyone except me, anyway.’
