Chapter 1797: Host, You’re Getting Too Full Of Yourself!

The System’s reply simply meant that Mag was unable to kill this half of the Great Old One. However, in the current situation where it was still within the seal, as long as he did not court his death, it would be difficult for him to be killed too.

If he was insistent on killing it, the most probable situation would be that he would tire himself to death after cutting up all its tentacles.

“Are gods… so weak?” Mag felt a mixture of feelings. He thought that after becoming a god, he could do whatever he wanted. He did not expect that he would not even be able to kill half of the Great Old One.

“You were conferred as ‘god’ because of the unique situation in which you went through the thunder strike. You’re merely at a level above the 10th-tier, not a real god that could rule the entire world. You can’t even control the law of nature.

“Other than the increase in strength and a lifespan 10 times longer, you’ve not really transcendent, and thus could also be considered a ‘pseudo-god’,” the System replied.

“One must not go astray,” Mag lamented to himself. However, he still felt good inside. After all, he had only used 0.5 of his strength, and could actually succeed in jumping two tiers, to the point of striding over to the level of god.

He did not care if he was a pseudo-god. The strength and life expectancy were what mattered.

A lifespan 10 times longer would be equivalent to 1000 years.

He finally did not have to be troubled over not being able to watch Amy grow up.

“Please do not fret. With my meticulous guidance, you will be able to continue spreading delicacies in this world, and one day become the God of Cookery that even God would acknowledge. Then, you will be able to transcend and become a real god!

“Please do not become too full of yourself!

“Please stay true to your heart!

“Please remember.

“Your main mission is to become the God of Cookery!”

The system was filled with worries, just like a parent afraid that his child would become complacent from getting full marks in an examination.

“I am not worried at all. I am very happy now. Although I can’t control the earth or the weather, I am still the only one in 100,000 years.” Mag raised his brows with a smile as he said, “I would not blame God for bringing me here, but I feel that God’s acknowledgment was not very important. Why must I become the God of Cookery?”

“Host, you’re getting too full of yourself! You—”

“Say, System, If I don’t do my missions anymore, will you also fail your mission? Will you be sent back to be restructured, or will you be thrown into the rubbish dump straight away?”

“Host, you can’t be like this…”

“Host?”

“Daddy… I was wrong… How could cooking be a mission? Cooking is a beautiful experience that brings joy to the chef and the consumer!

“Besides, I am Daddy’s most capable helper. It is my responsibility to help Daddy make even more delicacies so as to bring more variety of food to this world, and allow everyone to be capable of making delicacies as well.

“This is such a noble career. I believe every kind person would be willing to fork out a little time to do something so small.

“What do you say… Daddy?” the System called out.

“Mm-hm. I think it’s alright.” Mag nodded with satisfaction. He looked at the young girl in front of him, and asked, “What do we do with her?”

Objectively, she was part of the Great Old One.

However, from a good-or-bad point of view, she was on the kind side.

From the octopus monster’s perspective, it would definitely not let her live in this world.

“Kindness and evilness cannot coexist. Since she has come into this world, the Great Old Ones are bound to kill her. If you don’t bring her away, she will definitely die here.”

Mag frowned. Bringing her away was not difficult. The troublesome part was how to explain her existence to the powerhouses guarding outside the spell formation.

He couldn’t possibly say that the octopus monster gave birth to her.

Or that she was another personality of the octopus monster.

No matter how he put it, she might either be killed or captured and cut up for research.

Ultimately, this maiden was his savior. He could not bring himself to harm her.

Besides, even if she was cut up for research, he didn’t think that those fellows outside would be more professional than the system.

“I’ll bring you away. Later on, don’t make a single sound,” Mag told the maiden gently. The maiden appeared to be no more than 14 years old. Her innocent looks would really make one pity her. It was the appearance and aura that men would not be able to reject.

The maiden nodded, but Mag did not know if she actually understood him.

Mag took out his cape, and put it around her. After that, he put his arm around her thin waist, and looked up.

“That octopus monster is still alive!” someone exclaimed when the powerhouses standing by the entrance of the cave saw the sealed region as the lightning dispersed gradually.

The octopus monster, which had most of its tentacles broken off from the thunder strike, looked rather pathetic. However, the octopus monster did not disintegrate. After the thunder strike, its tentacles started growing out rapidly again.

Everyone was shocked by the octopus monster’s tanking abilities and rate of recovery. Luckily, the new spell formation for the seal had already been set up, and was not destroyed by the thunder strike. For now, they needed not worry that it would rush out.

“Is Alex… still alive?”

That was another question everyone was very concerned about. If Alex had not rushed into the spell formation just now and caused the thunder strike, there would’ve been no time to fix the new spell formation.

However, Alex was also unable to escape the horrifying thunder strike, and was struck by the lightning together with the octopus monster.

The octopus monster was already in such a bad situation with its strong defensive skills and quick recovery. It was obvious what would have happened to Alex, who was just a mere human.

Everyone had an answer inside, but they still had certain hopes.

Irina staggered to the edge of the spell formation. She bit her lip as she stared at the ground that was charred from the lightning strike. Burnt tentacles were laying everywhere, but she did not see Alex among the layers of tentacles.

Krassu watched Irina from behind. He opened his mouth and did not say anything, only letting out a sigh.

Everyone else was equally silent.

Putting aside all prejudices and conflicts between races, what Alex did today had won all the powerhouses over.

“How is the situation down there?”

The tribulation cloud had dispersed, and the powerhouses above the cave stared at the charred ground with the same shocked expression. At the center was a crater around 100 meters deep caused by the melting of the rocks due to the high heat.

“Such terrifying lightning… If Alex had really attracted it, I’m afraid he wouldn’t even have been able to save himself,” Louis said with a grave expression.

“The new spell formation has been completed. It’s just a pity that Alex…” Douglas sighed.

Everyone fell silent.

“He’s… dead?” Sally, who was standing far away, was stunned. She subconsciously clenched her fist.

Haha, that annoying fellow is finally dead… Westin could not hide his joy. No one knew how afraid he would be if he found out that Alex was still alive, especially after witnessing the horrifying lightning. He was really terrified.

Is he dead? Is he really dead? Josh might not seem to have much of an expression, but his trembling hands could not conceal how agitated he felt.

Boom!

Just then, a thunderous sound came from underground. At the same time, the ground started shaking violently.

“Excuse me, I’m going home to get changed!”

A figure came out from the hole in the ground, sending sand and dust spiraling up into the sky while he let out a long howl.

Purple lightning flashed over from afar, and picked that figure up as they disappeared into the distance.

He left behind a group of powerhouses with their mouths wide open from shock.
