Although she was very young, Choi Mi Na had also seen Choi Yu Seong’s mother.

She was a woman with shoulder-length black hair and a fairly gentle impression resembling a puppy, but there is no special memory.

Her family was not great and her academic background was not significant either.

Her appearance was as amazing as she was Choi Yu Seong’s mother, but except for that fact, she was ordinary. Rather, she was a strange woman because she was too ordinary.

How on earth did such a person fall into Choi Wu Jae’s heart?

Biting her lower lip slightly, Choi Mi Na’s eyes narrowed.

‘It was so natural that people missed it.’

It seems that Choi Wu Jae is not picky about this woman or that woman because he has a lot of children, but it is the exact opposite in reality.

Rather, Choi Wu Jae chooses and makes his women thoroughly.

Whether it is a political position, economic ideal, or future investment perspective. It is ultimately the process of creating a successor to him, so he has never chosen his pair easily.

But a woman who just pretty took the place of Choi Wu Jae’s wife?

Everyone didn’t even care since Choi Yu Seong’s mother, Baek Yu Ri, died suddenly at a fairly young age, but it was obviously strange.

‘There’s something. Definitely.’

Now that she looked at it, only Choi Yu Seong noticed it throughout the family.

That fact was absurd, yet interesting, and surprising.

‘He was the only one who thought about something that no one in the family, no, no one in Korea cared about.’

It may be considered natural because it is his mother’s matter, but not doubting an incident that someone, perhaps Choi Wu Jae, tried to bury directly is close to an unwritten rule within the entire Hyesung Group owner family.

However, the timid ninth Choi Yu Seong is paying attention to that matter.

Does Choi Wu Jae not know that?

‘Nevertheless, Father doesn’t hide that he pretty cares about this Kkomaengi brat.’

This is actually because Choi Yu Seong has not even tried to investigate his mother Baek Yu Ri, but it looked completely different from Choi Mi Na’s viewpoint.

The circumstances in the family are changing.

Perhaps the ninth Kkomaengi, who no one cared about, has become a big variable and is digging in, but the majority have yet to notice him.

But it’s only a matter of time.

‘Like awl in the pocket¹. In the end, it’s bound to stand out.’

The moment the awl pops out of the pocket, other siblings will press it so that it will never come out again.

Or, the awl itself will be broken or thrown away somewhere in resentment of being stabbed by the protruding awl.

Now she could understand why Choi Ji Ho asked to take care of Choi Yu Seong.

‘Kkomaengi is neither a fool nor a coward.’

Rather, he is courageous enough to break the unwritten rules of the family.

He is also a sensible person who has been hiding his true purpose for a while but can stretch when he sees the time.

And Choi Wu Jae is watching the ninth, which may be somewhat cheeky, with a cute view.

Choi Mi Na couldn’t even understand how that iron-clad stubbornness, which could not be broken stubbornly, was gently melted.

‘He’s a stiff geezer that doesn’t even eat my aegyo².’

Lightly tapping the bus window with her index finger, Choi Mi Na smiled.

‘Very good.’

There was no kid she liked among the stupid siblings who just feel conscious of Choi Wu Jae and keep a low profile, but for the first time, the ninth caught her eyes.

Choi Mi Na was uninterested not only in the chairman’s position but also in the family’s affairs.

However, Choi Ji Ho, who was the most likely candidate for the next chairman, was eliminated in an unexpected accident and the next focus naturally shifted to her.

Even if she tries to hand it over to other siblings because it is annoying, Choi Wu Jae blocks it.

As a result, the atmosphere within the group was being created so that Choi Mi Na could take over the chairman naturally as time passed.

‘It was a shitty situation.’

From Choi Mi Na’s viewpoint, Choi Yu Seong’s sunlight suddenly came in a state where she didn’t like anything.

Of course, it could be.

Empathy arose from a sense of similarity that both lost their mother at a young age.

It cannot be denied that Choi Yu Seong, who she looked badly at, may have entered a corner of her heart because of that.

It’s not that she completely doesn’t have any doubts, but she is willing to help a little more actively after it’s resolved.

Because of this, she even handed over unexpected items to Choi Yu Seong out of temper.

Ancient relics, Fragments of Destruction God.

Choi Mi Na has never used it herself, so she doesn’t know the exact effect.

However, as can be guessed from its name, it is clear that it is an ancient relic with considerable power.

‘It’s a bit of a pity since I gave it according to my mood, but it’s something I can’t use anyway…’

Unfortunately, most of Choi Mi Na’s abilities are the strength that is located at opposite ends of the Gods, so Fragments of Destruction God cannot be used at all.

Still, she kept it because it was a pity to give it to others, but she handed it to Choi Yu Seong because of her sudden change of heart.

Looking out the window with her index finger lightly twisting her side hair, she thought.

‘When will Kkomaengi notice the bracelet’s identity?’

He would have to come and say thank you more than a thousand times after knowing it, but Choi Mi Na was already looking forward to that day.

***

Choi Yu Seong was only able to be discharged 15 days after Choi Mi Na visited.

It was said to be a great resilience as expected of Awakener from the doctor’s view, but it was frustrating days for Choi Yu Seong, who pitied the waste of every minute and every second.

After overcoming that half month, Choi Yu Seong got into a car driven by Jin Do Yun to go back to the dungeon. He felt that it was time to answer the concerns he had put off.

‘Although I thought it might be like this.’

An exciting situation has come.

After the incident of Demon King Worshiper along with Rachel, all the Gods watching Choi Yu Seong sent messages to pass on their Skills.

And these messages were probably poured at the end of the fierce battle with Rachel.

‘At the time, I wasn’t in my right mind that I couldn’t even think of checking the messages.’

If he had the mind to do that, he would have recognized Choi Mi Na at a glance.

Therefore, it was when he was hospitalized that he checked the messages properly.

Since then, Choi Yu Seong has fallen into thoughts.

As mentioned, the reason why the lofty Gods give Karma Points and Skills is that the achievements made by humans they sponsor are returned to their karma figures and then copied to help raise their status.

Obviously, God’s stake in a human increase more when they pass on Skills that are equivalent to their ability than when sharing some of the Karma Points they have.

And if it is possible, the first one to transfer a Skill will gain an advantage in the battle for shares among Gods.

That’s why Loki begged Choi Yu Seong from the beginning to learn his Skill.

Choi Yu Seong has been ignoring Loki’s messages for a while, but now all six Gods have put up their Skills.

It was too much for Choi Yu Seong to ignore him anymore when this situation came.

Even for those who are waiting, he has to make a definite choice at this point eventually.

Choi Yu Seong made the most optimal route for his growth through a long period of thought and decided to notify the results now.

“There is no bad intention.”

Choi Yu Seong, who spoke to himself, smiled somewhat apologetically and replied to the six Gods’ Skill transfer messages.

There were two things Choi Yu Seong had to worry about for 15 days before he could decide his current answer.

First, be sure of the true names of the Gods who are sponsoring.

Second, it is necessary to guess the Skills that Gods will give through their true names.

The first was relatively easy.

Except for only one God with a rather difficult and unknown nickname, all the others were using nicknames that were mentioned at least once in the original work or were easy to guess.

Except for Loki, Guan Yu, and Cu Chulainn with already clear answers, the remaining three Gods are left.

Among them, the first God that Choi Yu Seong found the answer to was Sacred Divine Empress.

‘This one has never come out in the original, but it’s actually easy to find the answer.’

As can be seen from the nickname of Sacred Divine Empress, the opponent was a monarch of a country during her lifetime.

In the end, it was inevitably easy to know the answer if you did a little research on ruler titles.

‘Sacred Divine Golden Empress Zetian.’³

The nickname used is only an abbreviation of this, and the part that Choi Yu Seong should pay attention to was the last word.

‘Zetian, Wu Zetian.’

Commonly known better by the name of Ze Tian Wu Hou⁴, was China’s first female emperor to ascend to the throne at a late age and hold power for a long time.

It is true that she has achieved great achievements and has a reputation enough to reach Divinity, but Choi Yu Seong was not going to choose her skill unfortunately.

‘There are some Skills that I can guess roughly, but it’s not the kind that I want.’

What comes to mind when thinking of Wu Zetian is strong power⁵ and dignity that holds people down so that no one can surpass her.

It was certain that her intangible power would be formidable as she ascended to the throne at a late age and was in emperor position for a very long time.

Perhaps Choi Yu Seong may have as much pressure and atmosphere as Choi Wu Jae with the power of her Skill.

In other words, however, Choi Yu Seong can have such ability without using a Skill when the time comes.

‘I’m sure there are a few other great abilities since she had risen to Divinity, but…’

Anyway, out.

Sacred Divine Empress was the object of rejection at the time her true name was revealed.

Recalling the memories of that time, Choi Yu Seong sent the most first refusal to Sacred Divine Empress’s message.
