Chapter 251
Episode 251:
The Apostle of Punishment!
As expected, that face was that of an unforgettable person. X muttered to himself like a sigh.
“Is it you again?”
He is the king of gourmet food.
He is also the king of gourmet food.
Of course, there was a lot of difference from the current gourmet king’s face, which looked like a beggar.
Because he had clear, bright eyes and a confident smile on his face. It wasn’t that surprising because I had guessed it.
Calmly.
X focused more and looked at the Apostle of Punishment.
‘On the outside, it looks like the wings of a phoenix.’
Roar!
First of all, there was nothing special about the exterior. Now all we had to do was infer the effect from the way he showed himself in battle.
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fleet crew, the Apostle of Punishment glided towards the golem.
“What’s so fast?”
Slut!
That was an astonishing speed.
The afterimage of the flames follows the Apostle of Punishment after a while. The destructive power of the physical attack at that speed was also beyond imagination.
Kwakkwakk!!
The golem’s right forearm was shattered and it began to fall to the ground far away.
Considering the size of the golem, it would be no different from shattering a small continent with one blow.
Gurgling dry saliva passes by.
‘How come you seem stronger than the Gourmet King?’
I didn’t even dare to compare it to my own level.
Even if I used the bear stance, I couldn’t split the ground with a single blow.
That Apostle of Punishment seemed to be an even more fraudulent character than the Gourmet King. X, who was thinking, suddenly tilted his head.
‘No. If that’s the real skill of the Gourmet King…?’
In fact, X had never seen the Gourmet King’s full strength. I had a brief vision while learning the Gourmet King’s recipe, but it would be difficult to call it full strength.
However, this idea was also just a guess, starting from the assumption that the Apostle of Punishment and the Gourmet King were the same person.
‘In fact, the probability that they are the same person is close to zero.’
The era and background did not match.
In Fate World, 300 years ago is not that long ago. It is said that Sioras looks the same now as it did 300 years ago.
Also, the technological capabilities of flying ships could not be explained.
If so, the possibilities are narrowed.
‘Does this mean he is the ancestor of the King of Gourmet?’
Otherwise, the real Gourmet King may have been reincarnated, and they could be the Gourmet King’s past life.
But no matter how much I thought about it, it was absurd. X pouted.
“What do you want me to do if I know about that child’s past life or reincarnation?”
Yes, I know that the Sea King and the Apostle of Punishment are great writers. But isn’t he the king of gourmet food?
The Gourmet King is nothing more than an irresponsible leader who runs away from other beings. No matter what abilities he has.
“Tsk, someone is doing all the cleaning up after that…”
If it weren’t for this fraudulent job, Heavenly Gourmet, I would have given up on the quest a long time ago due to the incredibly difficult level.
Still, since he had received something, X was the one who cleaned up what the Gourmet King had done without saying anything.
It felt like X was lost in his own thoughts, but that was because the Apostle of Punishment’s battle was so overwhelming.
“There’s really no need for explanation.”
Overwhelming itself! A combination of a rushing firestorm and a hand-to-hand attack.
The golem, which had been beaten so pitifully, was now in tatters.
It was an even greater feat considering that the fire attribute did not have a significant advantage over the earth attribute.
Rumble!
Before long, the world-class golem began to collapse like a sand castle.
Fragments of the golem spread throughout the world. Perhaps one of them became the Rock of Punishment located in Sunrise Village.
Shaking.
X’s vision also gradually began to blur. As the fantasy was ending, X muttered softly.
“I will definitely reveal who you guys really are.”
*
When X came out of the illusion, he was holding a feather of flame in his hand. The pattern engraved on the rock became an item and came out into reality.
The old man, who had been silent, could not contain his surprise.
“As expected, the Apostle of Punishment was hit…!!”
Well, I said no. Somehow the illusion seemed to have gotten worse, but X first looked at the information on the feather.
-Fragments of a collapsed world 7 (Quest)
These are fragments of a collapsed and collapsed world. We may be able to reveal the secrets of Fate World.
Special Effects: ?
‘It’s a fragment of a collapsed world.’
What does it mean?
There was no way to know right now. But one thing was certain: the Gourmet King would know the story behind this fragment in more detail.
That means the Gourmet King knows the secrets of Fate World.
“Okay, now I have one more reason to look at your handsome face.”
Let’s think about it after meeting the Gourmet King.
I didn’t know how many more items called ‘Fragments of the Collapsed World’ I would obtain in the future.
The important thing is that even if you think about it now, you won’t be able to find the answer. And only the Gourmet King knew the answer.
X, who took the feather, strengthened his resolve.
‘Irresponsibly fled from the Arba Continent and then to the Severed Continent. After escaping to the Severed Continent, then to the East Continent… Unfortunately, there is no place to run away anymore.’
No matter where I ran, it was now within the palm of my hand. I will definitely find the Gourmet King and then obtain a large quest!
As usual, it was X who was making insidious plans.
*
“Looking for someone to join the dungeon party! Please note that this is a strategy pot, not a hunting pot. “Even if I can’t do it, I plan to finish attacking the boss mob within this week, so please just whisper to me, Dealer!”
The continent of Arba was full of vitality.
Yes, if I had to compare it, it was like watching the early days of Fate. Just like that time when everyone was dreaming big, the excitement on the players’ faces did not go away.
There were also users pleading with NPCs in Narville Square.
“No, priest, how much has our guild donated so far? Even an apprentice priest is fine. “It may be a bit dangerous, but you’re willing to risk your life to protect the priests?”
“It’s done. “We cannot give them away for self-interest.”
“Then how can you sell even holy water…?”
“Buying and selling sacred water. “How can you say such profanity?”
“Ha, really. “You’re so stubborn, really.”
Save the priest!
After X revealed information about the rune stones, the stock prices of priests soared for a moment. Because the person essential to purifying the rune stone was the priest.
“Religion is just religion.”
But there is no way they have any real faith!
Moreover, there was no way to cover the precious relics. Even priests who were listed in the mage rankings often failed at ancestral rites.
Because of this, there was a rumor going around in the public that ‘X leaked false information.’
But who is X?
“Anyway, even if I tell you, it’s a damn thing. What about these?”
“If you are as good as X, you will only lose money.”
“Tsk, they made a mistake and blamed others.”
Perfect image management!
There were only a very small number of opinions criticizing X. Even that disappeared after a player appeared who succeeded in purifying the rune stones.
“I sacrificed a lot of the sacred items I was lucky enough to obtain. Since none of my acquaintances had a priest, I offered a memorial service through an NPC priest with whom I was acquainted. The blessing effect of the rune stone I received was a slight increase in movement speed…”
The first player to successfully purify the rune stone received a lot of attention, and was so intoxicated that he revealed the trick to the world.
This is how the competition among players for NPC priests with religious beliefs began.
One thing that did not move easily were NPCs, especially priests.
Unless it was a large, influential guild like War Machine or Pajukjise, it was impossible to formally receive help from priests.
“Sister, how can we have dinner together?”
“I’m sorry, but I’m fasting in the evening.”
“Then how can we even go on a date?”
“Are you kidding me?”
I belatedly tried to increase intimacy, but of course it wasn’t easy.
In the end, those who did not pay attention to intimacy management had no choice but to suck their fingers anxiously.
“They say they want to contribute to world peace…”
Then, a being like light and salt appears to them! Those were the priests of Xernis.
“Well, if I donate a lot, they’ll just give me a priest?”
“If you pay a large amount of money, they even give you a mid-level priest?”
“They’re selling West Seongsu at a low price?!”
Row when the water comes in!
Zawl was managing the priests of Xernis according to X’s message.
Of course, if it was just to satisfy self-interest, Zaul, a saint, would not have followed X’s words.
“In the end, it is about purifying the rune stone.”
This kind of additional profit creation could be overlooked through cuteness. In addition, the players were treating the priests of Xernis with great respect, as they had invested a considerable amount of gold.
That’s because there aren’t just one or two rune stones, and you can’t only receive one or two rune stone blessings.
“lol. “Priest, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”
“I’m fine.”
“From now on, you can just call me brother.”
“No matter what, that’s a bit…”
The priests gained experience points through the contaminated creatures that flocked near the contaminated rune stones and increased their divine power through sacrifices.
In short, the priests of Xernis were riding the bus while being treated well!
Yes. The flow of the Arba Continent was flowing perfectly according to X’s plan.

Tiroling!
[The God of Dawn expresses great gratitude for your actions!]
[The God of Animals blinks his eyes at you!]
[The God of the Desert takes greater interest in you!]
[The God of the Rivers welcomes your entry into heaven ! I vote yes!]
“Hehehe.”
Morning on the Eastern Continent!
After reconnecting, X couldn’t hold back his laughter.
Tiroling! The real-time notifications made me feel the tectonic changes on the Arba continent from afar.
X checked the quest window with a satisfied expression.
(Current number of votes: 5/72)
[God of sacrifice God of war God of family God of earth God of rivers]
“This is the beginning.”
Voting in favor of entering heaven was no different from becoming a complete ally like Sacredia.
The location of the discovered contaminated rune stones played a role in causing the land and river god to change his mind.
“It’s bound to stand out from other places.”
Abandoned land and rotted rivers.
This was thanks to players who knew that contaminated rune stones had negative effects and persistently searched for such places.
The players did the hard work and X was able to absorb the favorability!
Of course, X was shameless.
‘Still, you got a valuable permanent buff. Originally, it was all mine.’
Even though I’m blowing my nose without using my hands, I’m still greedy. As players and competitors were gaining momentum, X had no intention of staying still.
Not only will I defeat the fake emperor of the Fire Empire, but I will also purify the rune stones that exist on the eastern continent!
“To the point where I don’t regret making it public.”
Hot!
I clenched my fists and got up from my seat.
Shoot!
“But the weather is not helping today.”
The heavy rain won’t stop!
It wouldn’t have mattered if I was alone, but from now on I had to move together with Hwa Eun-soo’s forces as well as Explorer.
It was impossible to march down a mountain path with a large number of people in this weather.
Tsk, X whetted his appetite.
“It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do.”
I had no choice but to look for any more contaminated rune stones nearby. I was just about to appease my regret.
Tiroling!
“?”
The rain stopped like a lie with the notification.
[The rain god supports your path ahead!]
“…Huh?”
X, who was favored by the gods, was the moment when the word impossible was deleted from his dictionary.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
