Chapter 123: Seal Attack (1)

Loki removed the smoke and disappeared with a serious expression.

Was the prophecy about Skuld being purged and Odin falling to Zeus that shocking?

I didn’t expect him to order the complete unsealing of the seal.

A battle against Pollux.

This situation is different from when Skuld was involved.

Skuld had been completely subdued and was ready to be executed.

On the other hand, Pollux belongs to the lineage of the divine body and possesses power comparable to a mid-tier god.

Hmm… Can I win?

I should contact my father.

I reached out to my father and told him what had happened with Loki, mentioning that Loki was the one who suggested unsealing the seal.

[This is a strange situation.]

“I don’t fully understand the prophecy, but Loki seemed certain about it.”

[If he’s that certain, then the scales may have already tipped toward Olympus. We must stop Zeus before he ascends to the position of a creator god.]

“Yes, that’s why I plan to kill Pollux and release all the gods from their seals. Is Asura ready?”

[Hmm… We’d prefer to wait a bit longer, but Asura is confident. Lately, he’s been questioning if we even trust him, saying that there’s no need to delay over some mere low-tier god… Honestly, even without your help, he probably would’ve fought Pollux soon anyway.]

“Really? Still, we should be careful… Doesn’t Asura lack enough SP?”

[He believes the gap between a high-tier god and a low-tier god is enough to cover the difference. His argument isn’t entirely without merit. More and more gods among us are pushing to take action now.]

“Hmm, understood. Then let’s set a date quickly.”

[Can you do it tomorrow?]

Tomorrow?

That’s fast.

Is Asura really that impatient?

“Hmm. I’ll check on one thing first and get back to you right away.”

[Alright.]

After ending the communication, I fell into thought.

Jumping into a fight against Pollux tomorrow with my current SP is too risky.

Is there a way to pull some earnings from the SP Exchange?

I should summon my manager first.

“Summon, Golden Pig.”

With a pop, a golden pig appeared before me.

“Oink oink! Master! You called for me?”

“Yeah, I have a question. How does the SP Exchange earn SP?”

“Of course, we earn SP through interest by lending SP, oink oink.”

“I see. Then how much have we lent out? When do I get my SP earnings?”

“Oink oink! Our reserve ratio is currently at 80%. That means out of the 50 trillion deposited, only 20% can be used. In other words, we can only use 10 trillion for loans and upgrades, oink oink.”

I looked up the reserve ratio on my phone.

It’s the percentage of total bank deposits that must be kept in reserve as liquid assets.

Apparently, the legal reserve ratio in my country is 7%.

Wait, then why is my reserve ratio at 80%?

Why are they holding on to 80% of the SP instead of lending it out?

That’s way too high.

10 trillion is still a massive amount, though…

“Oink oink. So far, our upgrade expenses were 10% of total assets, making upgrades possible. But now that we’ve reached 10 trillion, we can’t do that anymore.”

“Right.”

“Until now, we’ve had to invest 10% of our assets into upgrades no matter what… But now, to turn a profit, we need to use more than 10%, oink oink.”

“Why?”

“Because there’s interest on deposits. 1% interest on 50 trillion is the same as 10% interest on 5 trillion, oink oink.”

Ah, that makes sense.

Hmm…

So unless I can pull 5 trillion from somewhere immediately, I need to invest the full 10 trillion now to generate profits.

If we set aside 5 trillion for deposit interest, that leaves only 5 trillion to generate income.

“At this rate, our expected annual profit is 500 billion SP, oink oink.”

“500 billion SP… Is that a lot?”

“It’s an enormous amount. In just 20 years, we could afford another upgrade, oink oink.”

“20 years? That’s way too long… And that means I wouldn’t be able to use any SP for myself in the meantime, right?”

“The SP Exchange belongs to you, oink oink. However… The system states that only 2% of the profits can be withdrawn. Withdrawals are also limited based on level. The base rate is 1%, with an additional 1% depending on level, oink oink.”

The Golden Pig suddenly pulled out a mysterious book from thin air and started reading.

The book’s cover was written in Korean: "About the SP Exchange."

“What’s that book?”

“It’s a secret manual that only managers receive, oink oink. Would you like to read it, Master?”

He held the book open for me to see.

It was filled with dense text and countless clauses tangled together.

Ugh, these level restrictions are such a pain.

2%… That seems way too low.

Let’s calculate.

Annual profit: 500 billion.

2% of that: 10 billion.

My daily mediation earnings are 5 million SP.

That means I need 20 days to make 1 billion SP, and 2,000 days to reach 10 billion SP.

2,000 days… Let’s see, that’s about 6 years.

So, I’d earn in one year what I would otherwise take 6 years to earn through SP mediation.

“So, I can withdraw 1 billion SP per year?”

“Oink oink. That’s correct.”

“That’s a lot, but I still don’t like that only 2% can be withdrawn.”

“100 billion SP is an enormous amount, oink oink. But this withdrawal is only possible once all loans are fully allocated.”

“Hm… That makes sense. Are there a lot of loan applications?”

“Oink oink! The demand is through the roof! However, we still haven’t reached the 10 trillion mark because our transaction reach is limited.”

Wait, what?

There have been overwhelming applications from different worlds, but the reach is still limited?

“Oink oink. The universe is vast. The SP Exchange’s reach expands based on your divine power and the SP mediation level.”

“I see… I need to keep leveling up the SP mediation system too.”

“Oink oink! Yes! And once the SP mediation reaches a certain level, our SP Exchange will also be able to act as a mediator. The higher the level, the more efficient it becomes, and Master will be able to withdraw more earnings!”

There’s so much to upgrade.

No matter how much I earn, it never seems to be enough.

Hmm… The SP Exchange is a long-term investment, but for now, I need to focus on strengthening myself.

What’s the point of all this if Pollux seals me away here?

“When do I receive interest income?”

“By default, profits are settled annually… But if you prefer, we can distribute them monthly, oink oink.”

“But we haven’t finished lending out all the SP yet.”

“Since you own the majority of shares, that much is possible, oink oink. However, 90% of the income will be split across 12 months, while the remaining 4% will be paid in the final month.”

I own 94% of the shares, so I can only take 94% of the profits.

That means 94 billion, divided again…

Ugh, math.

I sucked at math in school, and now my brain’s about to explode.

Thankfully, the manager quickly calculated everything for me.

“This month’s payout is 750 million SP, oink oink. Transferring now.”

[Translator - Night]

[Proofreader - Gun]

“Oh, nice.”

“Normally, low-tier gods can only store up to 5 billion SP, but since Master is a Soul God, your limit is much higher. Transferring now, oink oink.”

The Golden Pig started glowing.

A message popped up.

[You have received this month’s dividend from the SP Exchange Manager.]

[750 million SP has been deposited.]

“Wow…”

“This is just the beginning, Master. Oink, oink, oink.”

“Yeah, with this much, I should have no problem dealing with a lower god.”

A lower god was said to store around 500 million SP.

If it comes down to an SP battle, wouldn’t I win in the end?

But my golden pig companion poured cold water on my expectations.

“Oink, oink…… The standard upper limit for a lower god is 500 million. However, if a lower god has increased their soul rank to the level of a mid-tier god, their upper limit can extend up to 2 billion. Please be cautious.”

“Hm, yeah. It doesn’t hurt to be careful. Anyway, thanks. You can go now.”

The golden pig bowed its head deeply before disappearing.

As soon as it vanished, I found myself momentarily intoxicated by the thrill of possessing 750 million SP.

If I start accumulating this much every month…… Well, I’ll wipe everything out in no time.

Now that I had 750 million SP, I no longer had to hesitate in attacking the seal.

I connected with my father via communication.

[Are you ready?]

“Yes. Where should I go tomorrow?”

[I will open a portal.]

“Understood.”

One day…….

What preparations should I make in the meantime?

I reviewed my skills.

I had raised my combat skills to level 50 at a bargain through Hercules.

Soul emission, soul barrier, and so on……

But raising them to level 51 required 100 million SP each.

Somehow, upgrading these further felt like a waste.

And boosting soul mediation right before a battle seemed too complacent.

Alright, I’ll increase my soul power instead.

Each point of soul power cost 500,000 SP.

I was currently at 1,010.

With my newly acquired 750 million plus my existing SP, my total was 770 million.

I decided to keep 500 million in reserve and invest the rest into my soul power.

As I poured SP into it, my soul power rose rapidly until it reached exactly 1,550, leaving exactly 500 million.

It felt somewhat incomplete, so I added another 25 million to round it off to 1,600.

Hm, perfect.

My remaining SP was now 475 million.

I decided to keep this amount in reserve.

When I stood up from the sofa, my body bounced as if propelled by a spring.

They said soul power integrates strength, agility, and magic—so my physical abilities must have increased as well?

Before my head could hit the ceiling, I quickly transitioned into my soul form.

Then, whoosh—I soared upward, jumping several floors of the apartment before stopping midair.

Hm, no one saw that, right?

Well, nobody lives here anyway.

It’s an abandoned ghost apartment complex.

“Heimdall’s Return.”

Returning home, I tested my abilities.

I infused soul emission into both weapons and magic, expanded my soul barrier, and experimented with various techniques.

By the time I had thoroughly familiarized myself with everything, the sun had set and risen again.

Step. Step.

[As soon as I open the portal, Asura will emerge from the seal.]

A crimson portal opened by my father.

Wearing my mask, I stepped inside, revealing an entirely new landscape.

A bright, pristine space.

Floating clouds beneath my feet.

Stepping onto them, they supported me like solid ground.

A gentle golden glow imbued the atmosphere with sacred radiance.

It felt like I had arrived in the celestial realm.

I had imagined the seal to be underground, but this was unexpected.

This chapt𝙚r is updated by freeωebnovēl.c૦m.

[Once you enter the seal, proceed straight ahead and aid Asura.]

Boom!

A loud impact echoed from the distance.

Has it already begun?

I advanced swiftly.

With each step, my body shot forward like a bullet.

Even distances that seemed vast were covered in a single stride.

After four steps, a group of figures came into view.

“An intruder!”

“Stop him!”

They were soldiers clad in Greek-style armor, a familiar sight.

They quickly reformed their ranks, aiming their spears at me with vigilance.

Judging by their aura, they were A-rank.

Demi-god level.

In the past, they might have made me hesitate, but……

“Vanish.”

With a single word, they were engulfed in pure white flames.

Not even a scream escaped before they were utterly erased.

A notification about SP consumption appeared, but I ignored it and pressed on.

“The front line has already collapsed?!”

“A god…… It’s an S-rank!”

“No, at this level…… he must be at least a mid-tier god! We must alert Pollux immediately……!”

Whoosh.

As they turned their backs, flames devoured them.

There were still many soldiers left.

Since they were all in Greek armor, I simply incinerated them as I advanced.

Twenty steps forward, ten battalions annihilated.

Eventually, a new sight emerged beyond the clouded realm.

A colossal violet gate.

So massive that it completely severed the continuity of the cloud-based seal.

Unlike the heavenly ambiance, the ominous glow of the gate felt out of place.

It seemed like it belonged underground or in hell rather than here.

And standing before it was a familiar figure.

A man covered head to toe in golden fur.

He wore no armor, only a simple short-sleeved shirt and shorts.

A towering figure, nearly three meters tall, with a well-built muscular physique.

Pollux.

At his feet lay a fallen red giant with three heads and six arms.
