“This is your hometown, Blackie?”
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe! Yep! This is where great Blackie was born!]
“Really?”
Hearing Blackie’s words, Sejun carefully looked around.
The sky was high and clear, and the world was filled with massive mountains and lush green forests, radiating immense vitality.
Awoooo~!
5.251.205.82
A howl was heard from afar.
“Huh? That’s a wolf’s howl. Blackie, aren’t those your kin?”
When Sejun asked,
Kking. Kking…
[No. Our species has been wiped out…]
By great Blackie…
Blackie replied in a dejected voice. He couldn’t bring himself to finish his sentence. He wanted to, but it felt stuck in his throat.
At the same time, painful, angry, frustrating, and devastating memories from the past surged forth, and a slight red hue began to appear in his eyes.
“Ah. Sorry.”
Sejun quickly apologized and hugged Blackie tightly.
“Blackie, cheer up, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Young master, please cheer up.”
Kueng!
(Pip-pip. Cheer up, Blackie.)
Theo, Iona, Cuengi, and Paespaes all hugged Blackie and comforted him.
And then
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Great Blackie thinks he won’t be sad if he eats that extremely delicious roasted and dried sweet potato!]
Blackie didn’t miss the chance.
“Alright. Here.”
Normally, Sejun wouldn’t have given it, but this time, he handed over the roasted and dried sweet potato without hesitation.
Jjap. Jjap. Jjap.
Hehe. Tastes great.
Eating the extremely delicious roasted and dried sweet potato, embraced in the warm arms of his butler, and comforted by his hyungs and sister-in-law, Blackie was very happy.
At that moment.
Grrr.
As if they had appeared out of nowhere, 101 blue wolves showed up without a single sign. Even the smallest among them was 10 meters long from head to tail.
“Huhuhu. Are you all trembling in fear just from hearing the howl of blue wolve?”
A man dressed in white, riding the largest blue wolves, sneered as he spoke. It seemed he misunderstood them as being scared and clinging to each other out of fear because Sejun was holding Blackie.
Then
Grrrr.
Kking?!
[Tig, why are you alive?!]
Seeing the man’s face, Blackie got agitated.
It was Tig, the guardian deity of <Hellis> and the god of justice, who had betrayed him. He was certain he had killed him, yet here he was, alive.
But
“Kukuk. You look young, but you know my father.”
The man in front of Blackie wasn’t Tig, but Tig’s son, Tikan. Their appearances were similar, which led to Blackie’s misunderstanding.
“I, Tikan, the god of fairness, am searching for the heinous criminal who murdered my father. If you know anything about the one who killed him, speak now. Then I’ll let you die peacefully. Huhuhu.”
Tikan spoke with a sinister smile.
Kihihit. Kking? Kking!
[Hehe. So you’re Tig’s son?! Then bow your head to great Blackie!]
Jjap. Jjap. Jjap.
Blackie barked arrogantly as he chewed on the extremely delicious roasted and dried sweet potato.
Tikan didn’t pay attention to Blackie’s pathetic barking, but
Grrr.
The blue wolves growled, showing signs of discomfort.
“Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, will protect the great hybrid Chairman Park, meow!”
Kueng!
(Pip-pip. Sejun-nim, I’ll protect you!)
Kking!
At the threat of the blue wolves, the four brothers of the Park family positioned themselves around Sejun, ready to fight.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Sejun-nim, they’re not an easy opponent. Be careful.”
Iona, from atop Sejun’s head, warned as she prepared her magic.
Tikan was strong, but the real problem was the 101 blue wolves.
Even the ordinary blue wolves were so strong that Iona couldn’t handle more than 10 of them at once, and the largest leader of the blue wolves possessed an energy equal to Iona’s.
“You wish for a painful death? Huhuhu. Then I’ll grant your wish. Go!”
Grrr.
At Tikan’s command, the blue wolves shot forward like arrows toward Sejun and his group.
“They’re coming!”
[<Power: Insignificant and Cowardly Plunder> has activated.][You have plundered [Elder Brother Shield of Dragon Horn that Protects Proudly] from the void storage.]
“Bunker!”
As Sejun prepared for battle no, for protecting himself.
Kking?!
The rapidly approaching blue wolves suddenly froze in confusion and came to a halt.
Flop.
They suddenly began lying down on their backs, exposing their bellies.
Kihihit. Kking?! Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Are you guys trying to become subordinates of great Blackie?! Fine! I’ll allow it just this once!]
It was a gesture of submission to Blackie.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking?!
[Hehe. Butler! Great Blackie subdued them all! Isn’t great Blackie amazing?!]
While Blackie, now perched atop the belly of the nearest blue wolve, barked boastfully with a smug look,
“You guys, what are you doing all of a sudden?! Fight! I said fight!”
Tikan raised his voice and ordered the blue wolves again.
But
Kking…
Kking…
The blue wolves ignored Tikan’s command entirely and only watched Blackie for cues.
In truth, these blue wolves were creatures secretly created by Tig using Blackie’s blood. Tikan had discovered the dormant blue wolves inside glass chambers in Tig’s lab and had tamed them.
However, blood is thicker than water.
The blue wolves, following instinct more than training, were deeply drawn to their source, Blackie’s blood, and thus showed submission to Blackie rather than Tikan.
It was a flaw in Tig’s design, as he had created them for use after Blackie’s death.
Just like that, the situation flipped instantly.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Guys! Go catch him!]
Woof!
Following Blackie’s command, the blue wolves turned on Tikan, who had been issuing them orders until moments ago.
Grrr.
The leader of the blue wolves, who hadn’t yet sensed Blackie’s blood due to distance, growled threateningly at the charging blue wolves, but the others, now under Blackie’s higher command authority, did not stop.
Graaah!
Grrr!
A fierce, blood-splattering battle erupted between the leader of the blue wolves and the 100 others.
I knew it, raising these damn wolf pups was a mistake!
Knowing even the blue wolve leader couldn’t win against 100 of them, Tikan chose to flee and tried to slip away quickly.
And then.
“Hey. Where do you think you’re going?”
Abandoning your comrades and running away?
You’re a real scumbag.
Sejun called out to Tikan in a cold voice. He had disliked him from the beginning, but seeing this made him hate him even more.
The reason Sejun disliked Tikan from the start…
Well, how lucky for me.
You’re the son of the bastard who corrupted our Blackie, aren’t you?
It was because he had once seen fragments of Blackie’s memories in his mental world, memories of betrayal.
Though he hadn’t seen everything or a complete scene, even those broken pieces were enough to grasp how devastating that betrayal had been for Blackie.
Anyone would lose their sanity after such betrayal.
The sense of betrayal Blackie felt back then was so strong, it had left a deep scar in Sejun’s heart.
And upon seeing Tikan, the enormous rage Blackie had left imprinted on Sejun’s heart awakened, slowly consuming Sejun’s mind. His eyes turned red.
“Meow?! Chairman Park, snap out of it, meow!”
Smack!
Theo slapped Sejun’s cheek.
“Uh?! Uh.”
Sejun’s gaze quickly returned to normal. Though he didn’t realize it, he had just been on the verge of losing himself to rage, a dangerously critical moment.
While Sejun was coming back to his senses,
Kking…
The blue wolve leader, now within range of Blackie’s blood, also rolled over and showed its belly in submission, ending the internal blue wolve battle.
Kking!
[Cuengi hyung! Knock him out!]
Kueng!
[Got it!]
Bam!
At Blackie’s request, Cuengi grabbed Tikan’s head and smashed it into the ground, knocking him out.
And then.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Receive great Blackie’s mental re-education! Let’s go!]
“Yes! Great Blackie-nim!”
Kkiruk!
Sharalang!
Caw!
Thunk.
Blackie and his subordinates headbutted Tikan’s head.
Kkirorong.
Eomrorong.
Kkirurung.
…
..
.
They fell asleep.

<Earth>
“Hm?”
Taecho, who had been napping, gently opened her eyes.
Hehehe. Where’s Daddy?
Very happy after waking from sleep, Taecho closed her eyes tightly and focused her mind to find Sejun.
But.
“Huh?!”
Daddy’s gone!
She couldn’t feel Sejun’s energy inside the Kindergarten of Destruction.
Daddy left Taecho behind!
“Waaah!”
Taecho began crying, feeling heartbroken that Sejun had left her behind.
“Captain Taecho, why are you crying? If Captain Taecho cries, then I… waaah!”
Seeing Taecho cry, Tongtong, Taecho’s subordinate No. 1, also began to cry.
And then.
“Muaaaang!”
“Nuaaaang!”
“Guaaaang!”
The crying spread, and everyone in the room began wailing, turning the bedroom into a sea of tears.
“Kids, what’s going on?!”
[What’s happening?!]
“Everyone, want to watch Poruru?!”
Aileen, Flamie, and Pobi rushed in after hearing the children’s crying.
“Kids, why are you crying? What’s making you so sad?”
Aileen asked the children why they were crying.
“I don’t know. Shyongshyong was crying, so it made me cry too.”
“Huh? Shyongshyong cried because Pungpung was crying….”
“Pungpung cried because Tongtong was crying….”
“Tongtong cried because Taecho Captain was crying….”
They traced the source of the crying back to Taecho.
“Taecho, why are you crying?”
Aileen picked up Taecho and gently patted her back, asking why she was crying.
Then.
“Waaah. Daddy… left… Taecho… waaah… behind… waaah… didn’t take me… waaah.”
Taecho sobbed as she explained.
“Taecho, Daddy will be back soon. Let’s stop crying now.”
Aileen tried to soothe her, but
“Waaah. I miss Daddy~!”
Taecho couldn’t stop crying. Because of that, the other children, who had just begun to calm down, burst into tears again.
After crying for a long while, the children finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
However, their crying had already created ominous black clouds over the skies of Earth. Something unusual was happening.

<Hellis>
“Here. You were hungry, right? Eat up.”
Sejun was feeding meat stew to the blue wolves beside the unconscious Blackie Family and Tikan.
At that moment.
[A quest has appeared.][Quest: [Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction] have created a super-giant black hole near <Hellis>, and <Hellis> is being pulled into it. Please eliminate the super-giant black hole.
Reward: Peace of <Hellis>, 0.5% evolution EXP of <Hellis>]
A quest appeared in front of Sejun.
[Sejun-nim, you must hurry!][If <Hellis> gets sucked into the black hole, <Hellis> will be destroyed!]
[And if <Hellis> is destroyed, the 13,149 worlds that <Hellis> supports will also be destroyed!]
[System Eok-Samchiri] emphasized the message with exclamation marks, urging Sejun.
“Got it. I’ll go right away. Take care of this guy.”
Sejun said, gathering the Blackie Family, and spoke to the leader of the blue wolves.
Woof!
The leader of the blue wolves flung Tikan into the air with his mouth, then caught him on his back.
Then.
“Cuengi, let’s go!”
Kueng!
With Sejun and his group riding on Cuengi’s back, they flew toward the direction of the super-giant black hole, with the blue wolves running after them.
Born from Blackie’s blood, the blue wolves could run anywhere, sky or sea, even without a surface to step on. The one who provided the blood, Blackie himself, couldn’t run like that, though.
Truly, birds of a feather flock together.
Blackie, who had become just as petty while living with Sejun.
Of course, being pettier than before didn’t mean he was unhappy.
Hehe. Since great Blackie helped butler, I’ll ask for 100 extremely delicious roasted and dried sweet potatoes!
Because for Blackie, these days were the happiest of his life.
