Chapter 142 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is the Hero, the Half Is XXX
“If only this were amazing. But as I explained, right now it’s just a vessel with no power.”
In other words, since it is nothing more than a magical vessel without any power, Eugene can safely use it as he wishes without Azathoth’s interference.
“It is a vessel that contained the magical power of Azathoth, who is said to be the strongest foreign god. To put it another way, it is a vessel that can contain any power.”
Eugene was saying that it was a very useful item.
“If the Chamber of Commerce and Industry says that much… “It would be fair to say that the power of that object itself is to receive something.”
“That’s it.”
When Yeonhwa nodded as if she understood why Eugene went out of his way to secure Azathoth’s sacred vessel, he agreed and added.
“Besides, since this is a vessel for Azathoth’s sacred power, it can also be a vessel for other foreign gods when they lower their sacred power.”
Just as Azathoth gave down fragments of divine energy as sacred objects through his vessel, other foreign gods could not grant divine energy to their descendants or incarnations simply because they wanted to.
“Depending on whether there is a sacred vessel or not, there is a difference in efficiency when dispensing divine goods, but above all, foreign gods’ divine goods are items that are difficult for humans to use in their pure state.”
Therefore, the third force, the foreign gods that Crescent believes in, usually do so through sacred vessels when dispensing their sacred items…
“In other words, if I hadn’t secured this, it would have been recovered from Crescent and later become a sacred object as a sacred vessel given to the seven saints.”
Eugene, who knew that fact, stole one before the Crescent guys noticed its existence and secured it.
“Oh? In other words, you are reducing the enemy’s power and increasing the power of the main women?”
“It’s just as you said.”
In particular, the box in which this miraculous vessel was sealed was an item that was circulating in a black market in the Empire, and in the original, if the player wanted to secure it as quickly as possible, it was an item that the player could secure before Crescent secured it.
Eugene, who knew this fact well, asked an intelligence company to secure the box rather than going to the black market in another region to secure it himself.
Even though it was a well-established company that refused to do anything illegal, securing an item that had been floating around on the black market without knowing its value was not something worth refusing.
“Then what do you plan to use it for, master?”
“Once you unseal the box and secure the contents, you have to go through quite a complicated process, but it is possible to turn it into an ‘Imitation Goddess’ with the abilities I want.”
In fact, it was also one of the hidden pieces that was used well in various ways in the original work.
“The uniqueness of this object lies in the fact that it can be created with a variety of different abilities. In other words, should we say that it is the best crafting material?”
It is also one of the versatile materials that can be transformed into various types of special power tools depending on the creation route, and if you go through a complicated process, it is possible to create a ultimate weapon level special power tool.
“It’s a great item. … But why are things like that wandering around the Orbital Continent?”
According to Eugene’s explanation, there was no reason for the magical vessel, which was a sacred object of Azathoth, which had no interest in the Orbital Continent, to be wandering around the Orbital Continent.
Nevertheless, the fact that Yeon-hwa is wandering around makes me wonder if a foreign news agency called Azatos is also interested in the Orbital Continent and wants to join Crescent? Eugene said while thinking about this.
“It’s something that seven foreign media leaked from Crescent, to be exact.”
“Shedding means… ?”
In response to Eugene’s answer, Genos asked for a detailed explanation and Eugene told him about the setting that he knew from the original work.
“In short, it is an item that they brought from their world to this world to make it a sacred item for their saints. If there is a problem, should we say that it was scattered all over the world as a result of the interference of the three major gods in the import process?”
It’s as if the planets owned by Eugene were scattered around the world during Eugene’s possession.
“The number is seven in total. “Among them, this is one of the seven.”
“Oh, then where are the other six?”
Eugene smiled sweetly and answered the wise Yeonhwa’s suggestion that if there were seven of these items, they should secure them all so that the seven saints would not be able to download sacred items in the future.
“I don’t know either.”
“… ?”
When Yeonhwa gave Eugene a blank look, Eugene smiled awkwardly and said,
“No, looking at it from that perspective, what should I do when I really don’t know anything? “Even with my future prediction, there are only two fragments of the so-called Almighty whose whereabouts I knew, including this one?”
In short, the only final material item that could be obtained with original knowledge, the Almighty Fragment, was the one currently in Eugene’s possession and the one that had flowed into the dungeon that existed in the basement of the Academy.
“I don’t know about the other five. “In the future I predicted from the beginning, Crescent secured everything before I even knew the location.”
When acquired by a playable character, it is merely a final material, but when obtained from Crescent, it is a vessel that can receive divine objects bestowed by the gods.
Of course, Crescent tried to secure it with his eyes on, so in the latter part of the third year, all items were recovered from Crescent even before the player could figure out their whereabouts.
At least, it is said that the item that was lost inside the academy’s dungeon and that it can be obtained before Crescent if secured within the second semester of the second year are the fragments of omnipotence that the player can find.
“To put it another way, you’re saying we can secure at least two of them from here?”
“Yes. … Even if we secure it, unlike Crescent, we have to go through our own process to break this seal.”
Well, even if it can’t be used right away, it can be said to be advantageous since it can reduce Crescent’s power just by securing one of the fragments.
“Okay, I’ve already finished explaining what this is, so let’s move on to the next destination.”
Now that most of the important business that needs to be done before heading to the academy site has been completed, all that remains is minor work.
If all of this was taken care of, all that was left to do was to finally head to the long-awaited site of Orbital Academy and be assigned a room in the dormitory where Eugene and the others would stay.
“But from what I heard, it seems like every country on the continent, including the Empire, is looking for the whereabouts of Sang Sang, who disappeared with this woman, a former warrior. Is that okay?”
As Yeonhwa followed behind Yujin, who was leading the way with the intention of immediately taking care of the remaining minor matters, Yujin answered, recalling the information she had just received from the intelligence organization.
“My wife is that heavenly horse, so what are you worried about?”
When Eugene kidnapped the former warrior Genos as her slave, she already expected that she would receive attention from various countries.
However, the reason she committed it calmly was because she had faith in it. It was none other than his own wife, who had been officially granted a noble title by the empire.
“Well, if there are people trying to trick her, she will take care of them, so her boss won’t have to worry.”
Originally, Eugene was in a situation where even though she did not necessarily purchase Genos, she was bound to receive some level of attention from the empire.
The Imperial Intelligence Department would have started an investigation a long time ago, just based on the wealth that Eugene had amassed in just a few months using her knowledge of the original work.
However, in this situation, Yeonhwa, who had neglected her although she received the title of successor earldom, officially recognized Jeol Yu-jin as the mistress of the countess.
Since she registered her marriage together at a government office in the immediate area, she had no choice but to hide it from the beginning and the empire had no choice but to find out.
There was no way that her institution, which had given her her earldom, was unaware of the fact that she was gaining her imperial citizenship under the name of her Demorian Clecia.
But in such a situation, a marriage certificate was received under the name of Demorian Clecia?
In other words, the Heavenly Demon has decided on her own companion, and there is no choice but to make sure that her empire does not take interest in that companion.
Even the Heavenly Demon was an elf. In other words, in the Orbital Continent where the characteristics of the elves are well known, Eugene is bound to be seen as a means of controlling the Heavenly Demon.
So in the end, Eugene says that in many ways, she is aware of the fact that she is in a position where she cannot help but receive attention from various countries.
But in such a situation, the Heavenly Demon’s companion personally bought the enslaved warrior after paying an amount that was unreasonable for an individual to pay, and then disappeared?
It is natural that not only the empire but also other countries are turning on the lights and making a fuss to find Eugene’s whereabouts.
… The problem was that in order to find Eugene’s whereabouts, Eugene had been stuck in the Lina Forest with Yeonhwa.
And given that Laina Forest is currently treated as close to Yeonhwa’s private land, countries that do not want to offend Cheonma cannot hastily attempt to approach Eugene.
However, in the same context, it was difficult to approach Eugene, who came to the institution right away.
Since he goes around with Yeonhwa as if they were really a married couple, how easy would it be to approach him?
In the first place, Yeonhwa was killing the group’s presence, so finding his whereabouts was a difficult problem.
Only a female knight who was the leader of the Archduchy’s knights would be able to detect the presence of Eugene and his group.
Even if he is skilled enough to sense presence, does he know where Eugene and his group will come and wait for them?
In other words, the conclusion is that as long as Yeonhwa is there, no matter how much Eugene attracts the attention of each country, there will be no big guys who will contact him or try to manipulate him.
Eugene also knew that fact, so he did not show much disturbance despite the fact that many countries were interested in him and were looking for him through intelligence organizations.
‘If there’s a problem, it’s the attention from the Demon Lord and Crescent…’
Unlike the countries that had no choice but to look out for Yeonhwa, I was worried about the guys who would go on a rampage without paying attention no matter how much the opponent was the Heavenly Demon.
These guys were also guys who, if they decided, could bring out all their strength to fight even against Yeonhwa.
‘… Well, even if a hero who was elected to the Holy Sword appeared, I wonder if the guys who have been keeping him in check would show that much interest.’
In fact, from Eugene’s point of view, it was actually a good situation if the Demon King’s Army and Crescent were wary of him and attacked him.
The reason he entered the academy in the first place was to make them aware of his danger by crushing the plans of the Demon King’s Army and the Third Power, which he knew about through knowledge of the original work, as thoroughly as possible.
‘After making them aware of the danger, he uses his status as an academy student to use the power of the academy and the empire as much as possible to reduce the power of the Demon King’s army and Crescent.’
This was the absolute proposition for entering the true ending route in the original work and reaching the true ending at the same time.
“I think we’ve arrived in the sky?”
While Eugene was thinking that, Yeonhwa, who confidently said that she would not allow anyone to touch Eugene, pointed to the place where she had already arrived.
Eugene, who had come to his senses, was said to be moving her steps again to finish the small tasks that needed to be completed before arriving at her academy site.

After that, Eugene and his group spent about 30 minutes taking care of minor matters, such as opening a personal bank account in Eugene’s name to Genos without Yeonhwa’s knowledge, and then headed to the academy premises.
Isn’t it correct to call it Academy City rather than Academy? Orbital Academy boasts a scale so large that it is
Eugene and his group arrived at the entrance of the site where the academy’s various facilities were located and entered the academy site by simply showing their admission permits.
