Section 133…
Croot’s High Council meetings had been held in Section 115 before today, since that was Claudia’s main Section. But today’s meeting was held in Section 133, Adora’s main Section.
Today, Adora was seated at the head of the table.
“Play it.”
“Yes, sir,” replied Navana, placing a Memory Gem on the table in front of them. “Activate.” The Gem soon shone and played a video, starting from the point where Claudia was screaming about something being overpowered in the middle of a fight. When the video focused, it revealed two people moving freely, while more than four million soldiers were frozen in time: Lee Jiwon and Claudia.
“How is this possible? Claudia clearly successfully synched with the time on the Continent, seeing as how the Terrans are trapped in time.”
“I…am afraid I don’t know, sir. Claudia’s deities sitting over there and the surviving devas all told me they were shocked when Lee Jiwon was unaffected by Claudia’s Severed Time. They couldn’t believe it, either.”
“Hmm… so Claudia didn’t expect that to happen either…” Adora said, staring at the deities that had abandoned their commander and soldiers.
“…” They hung their heads low and remained silent.
Adora turned away from them. Punishing them would yield nothing of favor to him. He watched the video that was still playing. Claudia had to resort to using Skills that did not rely on her synchronized time. Adora knew firsthand how powerful those Skills were, but Lee Jiwon walked right through them, as if they were soft snowballs.
“His…his critical Stats pose the greater threat.”
“He can land critical hit after critical hit; it’s safe to assume that all of his attacks will be critical.”
“Ho ho…” When Claudia’s deities finally raised their heads and spoke up, Adora paid closer attention to the fight. He noticed right away that Lee Jiwon’s attacks really did flash yellow almost every time.
“Not only was his CRIT rate unnaturally high, so was his CRIT damage. As you can see, no one could withstand more than two of his attacks, including our strongest tanks.”
“His AoE skills are dangerous, as well. Normally, AoE skills are supposed to do less damage in exchange for their increased range, but…”
“Lee Jiwon really, really is… a monster.”
Someone else besides Adora the Monster was called a monster. The room went cold almost instantly. This was Adora’s Section, and the meeting room was filled with Adora’s deities.
Then, Adora suddenly burst out laughing. “How amusing. A battle between two monsters; wouldn’t that be a sight to behold? Which one of us will be more of a monster?”
“…” Silence answered Adora.
Zoltak, the strongest of Claudia’s eighteen surviving deities, broke the silence. “I know Master Adora will win. As much of a monster Lee Jiwon seems, I know he won’t be anything compared to the real thing.”
Claudia’s eighteen surviving deities hadn’t come to this meeting out of fear of Adora the Monster. They themselves knew that the only person on Croot who could defeat Lee Jiwon now was Adora. It had to be Adora, because of Adora’s three special abilities, one of which was perfect for Lee Jiwon.
==[Immunity to all critical hits.]==
Claudia’s deities weren’t the only ones to realize this. The video of Lee Jiwon’s and Claudia’s fight quickly spread all throughout Croot and soon, all eyes were on Adora. Adora was completely immune to all critical hits. High critical stats were important to just about all damage-type devas and deities. It gave them the ability to inflict more damage with just their normal attacks. That was why they heavily sought accessories that would increase their critical stats by even just 0.1%. But Adora rendered all of that work useless.
Zoltak continued on. ” Master Adora has the Unrivaled skill even though he’s a deity, does he not? He has four times the levels of the average deva and twice the levels of the average deity, not to mention his immunity to all debilitating status effects…” Zoltak trailed off and gave a cautious glance at Adora before continuing on. “Master Adora will also render Lee Jiwon’s powerful debuffs useless.”
Adora’s second ability was possibly the worst kept secret in all of Croot:
==[Grants the Unrivaled skill.]==
Just about every Crootian knew that Adora knew the Unrivaled skill even though he was a deity, but no one knew how he was able to learn it. Either way, it made him much stronger than the rest of the Crootian deities. He couldn’t do anything against Claudia’s abilities, but that wasn’t a problem anymore.
“And with Master Adora’s final ability, I am positive Master Adora will defeat Lee Jiwon. All of us deities have come together like this to offer you our fealty.”
“Bwahaha! You do know how to sweet talk someone! I don’t know how you managed to last that long under Coby.”
“I only speak the truth, milord.”
“Good. So, what are they up to now?” Adora asked Navana.
“After they destroyed twelve of our Sections, they returned to their side of the Continent. We’ve now lost a total of fifteen Sections to Earth.”
“Tsk. They sure did a lot.”
“And now, a different alliance of Earth guilds has sent an army of nine hundred thousand and destroyed another Section. That army is heading towards another Section.”
“They think of us as fools,” Adora growled. “Prepare your men. Our first target is that second army. This will be Croot’s first victory.”
“Yes sir.”

Center B of Section 35…
When I excitedly Consumed the Dungeon Mole, I was reminded of the message I had received at the giant Don Gate before arriving at the Continent.
==[Stores, dungeons, monsters and Don Gates will be removed from the Otadolon world. Those that were not able to use their token of knowledge will be called ‘Tardy Devas’.]==
It was the same message everyone got.
“Haa… that means Earth’s dungeons are all gone.” There was no way the system was lying, and no Warp Scrolls could take anyone back to Earth. Still, the message confirming that I had Consumed the Dungeon Mole appeared.
==[You have consumed your target.
Target: Dungeon Mole
Time applied: 24 hours
Effect 1: Dungeon Teleport (Can be used 3 times a day.)
Effect 2: Dungeon Search (Can be used once a day, two additional uses available)]==
“Dungeon Teleport,” I said, expecting to see only the dungeon I went to on the Continent.
==[You may Teleport to any of the following dungeons.
Judge’s Continent’s 19th high-grade dungeon (Ogre Dungeon.)]==
“Tsk.” I only lost out on three SK points, but I couldn’t help but feel disappointed. I must have been really hoping I had found a loophole in the system and could get off this godforsaken rock. I moved my hand to close the menu in front me. I didn’t need to go to the Ogre Dungeon. But then, another message appeared.
==[One of Kazunari’s created dungeons will now be added to your list.
Kazunari’s 27th created dungeon (Terra)]==
“Huh?” I knew Kazunari quite well. He was one of the Seven Monarchs and also known as the Dungeon Creator. He was the one who ‘gave’ me the Dungeon Mole. I was confused when the system suddenly told me that I could Teleport to one of Kazunari’s created dungeons. It was most likely the dungeon Kazunari had thrown me into.
“Dungeon Teleport: Kazunari’s 27th created dungeon!” Since the Ogre Dungeon was in my list of dungeons I could Teleport to, I had a way back to the Judge’s Continent. And so, I made my decision to see if I really could go back to Earth and see what its condition was.
==[You will now Teleport to Kazunari’s 27th created dungeon.
You will be moved to a random place on the dungeon’s floor.]==
A bright, white light washed over me and I felt my body lift off the ground, like when I used Teleporter Zones.
“…” I didn’t know where exactly I was now, but I knew that this was definitely inside a dungeon. Then, another message appeared before me.
==[You have achieved an Impossible Achievement.
You have stepped foot on World 1455. World 1455 is currently without an owner and is awaiting its fate of either survival or destruction.
World 1455 will now accept Lee Jiwon as its new owner.]==
“Huh? Earth’s owner? Me!?” Earth was World 1455, but the message was saying that I was its owner now?! Another message followed.
==[You will be awarded a bonus for the Impossible Achievement.
All Stats increased by 30,000 points.
All learned Skills will be raised to their max levels. (Already maxed Skills are unaffected.)]==
“Whoa…” I only received two rewards, but they were amazing. I couldn’t shut my mouth at how amazing they were. The 30,000 Stat point increase was great and all, but I cared more about the one with the skill levels. I knew that the Continent’s Stores also sold skill EXP like Stat points, but I had never decided to buy them. Each Skill EXP cost too much, and my Skills required way too much EXP for it to be a worthwhile investment. Besides, my passive Skills gained EXP as long as I fought, and my active Skills gained EXP as long as I kept using them. It just seemed a waste of golden rings.
But still, every time I went to the Continent’s general stores to buy Stat points, I always left with a sense of disappointment. Judge’s Gavel had a max level of 3, and it took five years to gain 1 level, even though I used it every time it was off cooldown. The same went for my other skills. Hell, Warrior’s Brave Spirit was still on level 2. Most Skills took about ten years to gain one level. That was how hard it was to max out just one Skill!
“Open Skills Menu.” I had to see for myself how much my Skills had changed.
