My Reincarnation as a Chicken-Chapter 220 The Second Turning Point
‘Lame.’
I commented immediately.
“What?”
My pain had subsided and I was starting to get angry.
‘What kind of motive is that? You want to return so you can conquer one kingdom? Which lazy bastard plots their resurrection for just one kingdom. You have to aim higher. Conquer several kingdoms. Ascend the heights of the gods and eventually rule the world. Were you even really a ruler in hell? I’m guessing you weren’t so you came here just to feel like a king, right?’
“Ah.”
‘Yeah. I totally saw this coming. You aren’t worth my time. I’ll just take my information now and leave. You’re a waste of time.’
“You too? A fledgling dare to insult the great me!? An Arch Devil!? The first prince of hell! I shall punish you!”
He roared and charged at me with his every being. Honestly, I felt no sense of terror or what-not, but it was amusing to see him coming towards me like he could do something. With his former powers back, it looked like he forgot about the contract in place.
[[Shadow Crib] is hungry]
[[Shadow Crib] has identified a very good meal]
‘What?’
In my moment of confusion at the new alert, a black egg with weird dark violet patterns on it popped out of nowhere. This egg opened up like it had a mouth and swallowed Makrov whole. I could see the demon crying and trying to climb out of the egg. This was futile however, as the egg was more terrifying than he could imagine.
Once it was done, the egg burped, in my arms. I looked at it and a crack had formed on it. It also felt warm and heavy.
[[Shadow’s Crib] is satisfied]
The egg then disappeared into my inventory of its own volition.
‘…’
‘These gods…’
‘And their overly…’
‘Weird gifts.’
I touched the orb.
[Congratulations! You have completed the dungeon [Cursed Tomb of the Sea Devil]]
[Hidden Events Completed]
>Finding a Hidden Room
>Defeating Arch Devil Makrov
>Completing the dungeon in less than 30 days
>First to complete the dungeon
[Rewards for completing these events have been allocated to you]
‘Oh, nice. We got some good stuff.’
Hyakkun spoke up, then showed me the item box. There was no space for three more items in there now so I had to hold them in hand weirdly.
A Golden Chest, A Black Chest and 1 devil horn.
I checked what the devil horn was for, and apparently it was a one-time ticket to or from hell. So, should there ever be a need to enter hell, I could simply use that. Though, I doubted I’d ever need such a thing. I guess that explains how Makrov managed to come to this realm with all his power.
I opened the other chests. The golden one had an Eye ball in it. It would give me a random demon eye skill that Makrov possessed. Then in the other black chest, there was an amulet. It was called [The Realmless Amulet]. There were no proper effects listed. Just something about it being an ancient amulet with no power left in it.
Basically, it was junk to me.
I ate the eye and acquired the [Demon Eye of Wickedness]. It basically allowed me to cause a random negative status effect on my opponents. Its danger depended mostly on my luck, so I poured all 200 stat points I acquired into my luck stat since it never rose when I levelled up. I wore the amulet around my neck and just held on tight to the horn.
A door opened up for me to leave. Once I left, I saw Daxia standing there and she looked shocked, before smiling.
“I knew you were stronger than me.”
‘What?’
“You managed to complete this dungeon. I never did.”
‘Eeeehh?!’
“Let’s go. I’m hungry.”
All this time, I’d been comparing myself to her, yet she wasn’t able to do this. Then again, it wasn’t just anyone who could complete the third floor. You’d need to have no heart to be able to do that, so that fell on Akira.
“I’m hungry.”
‘Me too.’
After that, we returned to Atlantis. The king prepared another feast for us. He had a feeling I wasn’t satisfied from the first meal earlier in the morning. I decided to indulge him and eat tons. Yokino didn’t look to be in a good mood during the whole dinner and the princess kept chiding her.
I wasn’t sure what happened between the two. Kawaii on the other hand was gluttonously gobbling down on the food, although she didn’t feel hunger. I had to give it to her, she knew how to eat for no damn reason.
Later on, Yokino noticed the amulet. She asked for it and since it had no real use, I saw no harm in giving it to her. She became ecstatic after receiving it, going so far as squealing in the hall with no regards for the others in the room. She also wouldn’t stop smothering me and rubbing the amulet in my face, as if it was something visually attractive. I ignored her for most of that night.
The king announced an official alliance between my non-existent country and his and Daxia’s. It was the weirdest thing ever, where I was put on the spot and the princess was smirking the entire time. Even now, she wouldn’t stop harassing me.
I went to check up on Garand and apparently, he himself had been looking for me. According to him, it was very important news. Unfortunately, it would be impossible for him to get Fafnir’s location. Something about there being a restriction on Minerva’s location as well now.
He did say it was possible for me to get help from the surface. I had to go to Vermillion’s nation. In a roundabout way, I had to go to my home nation. There was a secret stash of God-slaying information there. It was called the Hidden Beast Library or something like that. Only a few people even knew of its existence so you could imagine how difficult it would be to get there.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t just go there yet. I needed help if I was to ever go to that place. I could come up with an idea on how to do that. There was no need to rush. Fafnir wouldn’t kill Minerva. If he was going to do that, I see no reason he didn’t do so when he killed Goliath.
For now, I would focus on other things while coming up with a way to get to Vermillion’s nation.

Day 58 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚
We left Atlantis as soon as we could. Sunalla decided to escort us back, probably because she wanted to avoid the princess a bit. I guess I now understood why she signed up for monitoring the growth of the guppies in Larm. Maybe she was happy to finally be returning since the princess hadn’t asked for her to return to Atlantis.
Yokino was in an exceptionally good mood after I gave her that trinket from the tombs, so much so she was clinging onto me. It was getting kind of annoying.
In no time, we made it back to the surface. There, Ulva and Grimm were waiting for us. I had told Ulva I’d be coming today so I guess I could understand her waiting for me, but Grimm was an unexpected attendee.
“Big sister!”
She jumped on me in a tight hug. I replicated her actions as well and stroked her hair.
‘I hope you’ve been staying out of trouble.’
“Of course. I’m a good girl, you know?”
‘Sure, sure.’
I let go off her and turned my attention to Grimm. Kawaii jumped off of me and went to play with Ulva. Yokino had already disappeared as usual, whereas Sunalla went back into the lake.
“Boss, we need to talk about that thing.”
‘Oh yeah. Any news?’
“I must have been mistaken. I didn’t find anything. Guess it’s just my paranoia.”
‘That so? I guess that’s good news then.’
“Definitely.”
‘Anything else to talk about?’
“Hmm, I guess it’s been kind of rowdy since you left. That bunny girl caused quite the trouble. The timber wolves all left, most likely moving to different territory.”
‘WHAT!?’
I exclaimed.
‘Why haven’t I heard anything about this?’
‘Shiroi didn’t send any messages.’
‘Don’t worry, I know where they are with the familia function of the system. They weren’t running away.’
‘Seriously?’
‘Yeah. If anything, I’m sure they were running out of proper meals so they moved out to find better and bigger prey.’
‘Eh? What do you mean “bigger prey”? They have all they need here.’
‘Not really. They’ve been forced to share their spoils with all the other animals under our familia. With the bugs, there’s barely enough for them, the hunters.’
‘Why would they have to help the bugs? They can take care of themselves.’
‘Yes, but there’s the rat men, goblins, kobolds and demi-humans.’
‘Oh yeah. Forgot about those guys.’
‘Let’s tell Reiman we’ve returned so we host a grand feast.’
‘I-I don’t t-think anyone’s in the m-mood for a feast.’
Akkun pointed out.
‘Also, with what food? We ain’t got any.’
‘What about the reserves in the mansion?’
‘Done. The goblins may be small, but their appetite is beyond godly.’
‘Those greedy bastards. Now what are we going to eat?’
‘We’ve eaten more than enough to feed villages twice over…’
‘But… [World Eater] isn’t letting us enjoy that.’
I let out a depressed cry. The others looked at me, confused by my sudden outburst. I wasn’t sure how to explain it to them, but just then there was a very shocking event. One that would go down in history for the rest of humanity.
To the east, two bright pillars that lit up the sky night as if it were daytime emerged out of nowhere. One pillar was pure white, the other was a cobalt blue. They clashed, but the white pillar over took the blue and the shockwaves the pillars emitted were more than enough to cause an earthquake.
I grabbed Ulva and Kawaii then covered them under my wings while still observing the pillar. Eventually the light dimmed down and I saw Grimm sitting on a tree, his face in obvious panic.
There were thunderous trumpet sounds and the clouds that once covered the sky were completely gone.
That was when the monumental notice came to my ears.
