"I need a raise," said Victor, who was in cup form.
The goddess Shesha replied, "So do I." The Reptilian God and Camilla settled in the secluded chamber, and the skeleton guards bowed before them. It was clear that God had no problem hearing Victor's thoughts.
"You want a raise?"
"While I was commissioned by your dragon friends to resurrect you and Cybele's Chosen, it would cost a lot to bring a mortal back to life without a vessel."
"We can discuss it later," Camila said. "There are a few things we want to confirm with you first, Victor."
The cup waited silently.
"Last night...you gained a deeper understanding of the universe through drugs." Camilla seemed deeply embarrassed. "Do you remember anything? Like seeing us gods compromising?"
"I don't remember much." Victor wisely kept the truth to himself. “After the slime totem part, everything is blurry.”
"It's fine," she said reassuringly. "Good. Our followers are not ready yet."
"Now, for my own benefit." Xue Sha nodded, her eyes becoming stern. "Can players level up?"
If Victor had a brain, he would nod. "Yes. Yes, they can."
Both goddesses listened to him, and he reported to them about the battle with Wotan, including what he had learned from [Monster Insight]. The more he spoke, the more the god frowned. "This is very concerning," Camilla declared. "I will share this information with everyone."
"Wild hunting is increasing around the world," she added. "First Gadmani and the Winter Kingdom, then the eastern continent of Celika. Now I understand why."
"They are dilly-dallying," the minister realized with horror. "Just like us. They're preparing for war."
"Normally, the natives of Serika would have organized themselves and fought them off by now, but the magical plague spread by the former Mel-Lyn disrupted everything," lamented Camilla, herself the goddess of disease. "I asked my followers to research the antidote, but progress is slow."
"Can a person become a god?" Shesha asked the most terrifying question. Sabla
and Dice were both created by one person, so... maybe a fairy could be promoted to Valhalla when she reaches level 99.
Everyone was silent for a while at the thought of the possibility of a former god.
"This is impossible," Victor vowed.
"No, it won't," Camila replied firmly, "for this, Waikr needs you to be alive and well."
"Unfortunately, you didn't meet my cost requirements," Sheisha said.
"Of course, we can use the Gugu people's gold reserves." Victor suggested.
"No, you barely have enough money in your entire empire to fund two resurrections." "Your soul is slightly cheaper because your soul is still anchored in the physical plane."
"What? This is nonsense!" Victor protested. "You can change reality all you want, but is it too expensive to rebuild a mortal body from scratch?"
"Do you think death is a revolving door?" Shesha replied. "As strange as it sounds, yes, reconstructing a mortal coil fit for the original soul is harder than it looks, especially when the target has been reincarnated."
"Same to you?" Victor asked Camilla. "I mean, I hate to ask you for help, but you're the goddess of wizardry."
Camilla shook her head reluctantly. "Victor, what do you know about God? How do we operate?"
"You won a great victory in the Hall of Valor and gained extraordinary cosmic power?"
"That's true, but that's far from the whole story," Camilla replied. "When we prove ourselves in the Halls of Valor, we earn the 100th Level: Supreme (Divine) Class. Among many benefits, it upgrades our mortal classes and perks to the divine variant. For example, I wrote in " There are 30 levels in Ascended Necromancer and 10 levels in Ascended Plague Doctor.”
"Ah, is this what determines your portfolio as a god?" Victor guessed. "Shesha must be a hatter (businessman) and you are a (necromancer)."
But this also means that our cosmic powers, while immense, are limited by the class we choose, and we cannot change them after deification. Thanks to Holy Pe
k, if a mortal pays her enough money according to the system's standards, she can buy anything, even a new life. "
"Of course, I take 20%," the business goddess said. "I can't let the crisis affect my bottom line."
Camilla said sadly: "Because I have never entered a level that allows true resurrection, I can only resurrect my followers as undead." "As far as I know, besides Shesha, there is only Sabla."
and Dice can completely revive you, their methods are different. "
"And you...you can resurrect me, but you can only turn me into an undead?"
Camilla said: "As the goddess of death, I can indeed do this." "But I hope you can return to a complete life."
Huh? So does Victor, because he likes to be alive, but why is the Goddess of Wicca against him becoming the undead? Because she wants him to become one himself?
"If you are destroyed as an undead, you never get the chance to come back again," Camilla explains. "Unless your level is that of a lich or a wyrm, and you don't meet the requirements for either level. Considering your suicidal tendencies..."
"This is my third time!" Victor complained, but realized she had a point. Being a demon might help, but he'd rather avoid being trapped in hell for the rest of his life.
"I cannot perform the resurrection without your consent," Shesha said. "The choice is yours."
“Aren’t there any discounts on my “Salsa Coffee Shop”?”
"Yes, and I've applied." Damn it. "I'm curious, who killed you so thoroughly this time?"
"Aknapep, prophet of Sabra."
"He?!" To Victor's surprise, the greedy goddess' calm face turned into pure anger. "Is he still alive?"
"I wouldn't say he's still alive, but yes, he still exists. Do you know him?"
"That evil bastard ruined my resurrection!" Shesha complained loudly, her sacred voice making the walls tremble. "Once upon a time, the heroes paid me tons of gold every year to train their own heroes, until he devised his damn minister's plan and shared it with all the wannabe overlords in the world "The Man!" At the height of its popularity, not a single villain left a body, within the budget of the Adventure Party!
Camila said a few cautious words to Victor in sign language, while Zsa Zsa kept ranting. "Don't tell her we have a course based on his teachings at Schleinmans," Cup explained.
"Despite my best efforts to cover up this fact, the elite criminals will now either destroy the victim's body or block the victim's soul and deprive me of my rightful market share!" Xuesha continued to move forward, completely Oblivious to her companion. The more she talked, the more she reminded Victor of a demonic merchant. "There are only a handful of bad guys like Mel Odius left with nothing but corpses left!" Did Vaquier completely eliminate that bad guy?"
"I...I don't know, maybe?" Victor replied, troubled by the fire in the goddess's eyes.
"If he had, I would have made him a saint," Shesha declared. "Use a lifetime discount card."
The goddess finally calmed down, and Victor began to think about his situation. While he wanted to get back to his life, the cost of raising Allison and himself would financially cripple Mu at a time when all available resources were needed

"Rescue Alison alone." Victor decided.
"Are you sure?" Camilla asked him. "Do you want me to turn you into the undead? Or return to a happy world?"
"Give me a moment," Grequin answered. "With my soul attached to that cup and the resources I have, I believe I can find a way to resurrect myself. Even if no one has found a way before!"
"This is entrepreneurship." Xie Sha admires his determination. “Innovate and conquer the market when existing offers are unsatisfactory.”
"To inspire you, if you can survive without God's help, I will give you a gift." Camilla winked at him.
"Oh? What kind of-"
"Slave!"
Before Victor could react, his cup-shaped body teleported from Kukulkan to the ruins of Eldorado, right in front of a furious dragon.
"Slave!" Fankel glared at the Holy Grail, "How dare you refuse to work? I have invested so much in you?!"
"Your Majesty, I swear I did this to save you money! I can support myself at a lower cost!"
"You better!" Winkle complained, a little calmer than before. Victor found that he had gained a lot of weight and his belly was full. When dragons caroused in Paradise, did they ever eat cows?
Fortunately, just as he expected, the team succeeded in defeating Ahenapepp, turning El Dorado from a pile of golden rubble into a pile of stone rubble. Chocolate and Felix recover together with Fuliben's fellow adventurers. Kia was busy praying next to him, while he noticed Julie and the kobold rangers tending to a giant dinosaur in the background.
Cup almost asked the locals where they were before there was a brief pause. "Wait, can you understand me?"
"I adjusted the frequency of your soul so that it works like telepathy." Freeborn glanced down at Victor, holding the scythe in his hand. "This is how I communicated with Mrs. Moore during your first visit to Happyland when I was trapped by your scythe."
"Huh? Thank you."
"I only did it because the dragon kept pestering me, not because I cared." Fuliben shrugged, revealing a tsunami-like skull face.
"Don't think that we are even, Lich." The two old enemies glared at each other, and Victor almost saw the lightning in their eyes.
"Finally, Manlin, your stature matches your status." Felix the Cat licked his whiskers, and Fankel was too busy glaring at his enemy to notice. "You've made a perfect litter box."
"No!" Victor complained, but the cat had begun to climb up on him. "Someone help me!" Help!"
"Felix, bad cat!" Chocolati

, holding her to his chest, away from the vicious cat's attention. If Victor felt anything, he would find this situation comfortable.
"So, Vic, I'm just asking Goddess Sasha to resurrect Alison?" Kia briefly interrupted her prayer. "I can only cast (Co
tact god) so many times. "
"Yeah, I'll think of a cheaper way to recover myself, like they say, ladies first," Victor replied.
"You better. I'm not willing to take any chances with a cripple."
Victor paused. "What?"
"I won't let you go again, your parties always have the best fights," Kia said firmly. "I also discovered some highly sensitive information that we need to discuss."
"Me too. This is about the ex, right?"
The paladin nodded. "Do you remember those adventurers who ambushed our two teams?"
"Those people with rifles and earth weapons?" Among the people who attacked us in Winterland, there was a Formor. "
"I wondered where their advanced weapons came from, and I think I know now."
"Yes, yes, we will deal with those fairies in due time." Vacker interrupted their discussion. "Now proceed to resurrection, slave, and end the silent agony in my wallet."
"It's a shame we don't have your body, Vic," Kia sighed.
"I left a lock of your hair," Chocolate purred to Victor. "Is it enough?"
"…Why do you keep my hair?" Victor asked.
"Smell it while you're gone, of course!"
He walked right in.

Answered: "Hair can be used as a (Phylacte

How did Victor know that Archnape would vaporize his body? Even Wotan's Valkyrie decided to tease it.
With the exception of his allies, his privileges are stripped away and he can only summon the ability of the [Holy Grail]. The Prime Minister can be brought back to life with black blood, and perhaps his soul can be transferred into it, but he can only be considered immortal.
Victor designed the [Black Holy Grail] to restore a person's body by spraying black blood transformed by magic, no matter what damage the body suffered. It can reorganize flesh, even just to create the undead.
However, if he uses the [Black Holy Grail] to fuse the prepared blood into the shape of a body, using the DNA strand as a template...
Intelligence check successful!
Yes, that’s it! “Choc, can you throw my hair into my cup and add some fresh blood?”
Millions of gold coins!
Taking millions of gold coins from his castle's gold reserves and throwing them into the sewers to resurrect a servant, and not even his best! If Winkle hadn't been generous, fair, and a perfect example of wealth, he would later Might go berserk.
However, the dragon managed to gain control of himself, and the evil Shesha answered the silent prayers of the knight Kya. The unpalatable Allison's body was refreshed in a green light in front of the paladin and fully recovered.
"I...I'm alive again?" she asked, surprised to find that her servant's death care covered the devastation of decomposition. "I can not believe it……"
"You better change your tune, because the next thing you owe me..." Winkle held her breath. "Four thousand five hundred years!" This is the time to repay the resurrection fee of that cursed goddess! I want you to work for free until you pay off my debt!"
"As usual," the dryad replied in a strange tone, but wisely bowed before her emperor. "I...I am very grateful for your Majesty's decision. I thought you would only raise Vic."
"You may have been a humble servant, but you died in the line of duty to save the honor of gold itself." Winkle replied. “I would be an inconsiderate host if I did not acknowledge your excellent service.”
As time goes by, Long gradually realizes that Minions should not be thrown away casually. They have their own feelings, and more importantly, they promote the development of the treasure more energetically than the dead. Winkle's wealth grew exponentially with the number of his minions, so the two supported each other.
"Now, go earn me some money and help my chief of staff." The dragon sent her away. Leaving the "Victory Cup" for his cheaper attempts at revival, Winkle had his minions collect the day's spoils - both from the battles and from eating all the local residents - in one place , so that he could keep everything to himself.
He refused to concede to the Fulibon, even after their brief alliance. Once his chief of staff returns from the dead, he will return the lich to its birthplace...
"Uncle, uncle!" Julie brought him a shy and timid elf girl. "look!"

The [Virgin Princess Radar] beeps when it sees one. "Julie, is this what I think it is?"
"Yes!" Xiaolong boasted proudly. "I caught my first princess, all by myself!"
"Congratulations!" If Winkel had been a weak, soft-hearted man, he would have exclaimed with joy. Instead, he nuzzled his niece affectionately. "I'm so proud of you for marrying a princess at your age! I can't wait to tell Esquire!"
"Come on, uncle, you're embarrassing me," Julie protested weakly, while her uncle treated her with affection.
"Do I hear the princess?"
Winkle and his niece saw the shadow of a third dragon hovering above the pile of loot before landing majestically beside it.
The red dragon immediately recognized the golden statue in Eldorado's main square, and after the curse ended, the golden statue came back to life. The great and famous princess had not changed much from the emperor's childhood, although he had grown up; even a head and a half older than Winkle himself. The lightning dragon's blue scales are scarred, and a row of metal horns forms a whisker-like decoration around its head. His blue eyes flashed with lightning.
"GG

ake?" Seeing this dragon legend, Julie wagged her tail excitedly.
"Okay," said the old dragon. "It's me, Grandpa. I came to El Dorado to look for the golden princess. This is all I remember."
"An evil villain put this region under a curse of fake gold," said Winkle, who is still angry about the fiasco. "I had to lift it up."
"That voice...is it you, little Vaikl?" The old dragon looked at his crimson companion, his eyes full of emotion. "Oh my gosh, the last time I saw you, you were just a monster maggot! You've grown so big, you're almost as big as me!"
"Indeed, great grandfather, I am now the strongest and richest dragon in the world," Winkle boasted, while Julie stared in awe at the princess hunter. Her uncle nuzzles her and brings her closer to the legend of dragons. "This is my sweet niece Julie who just had her first princess!"
"Princess Elf?" Grandrick checked on the shy elf, who was hiding behind her dragon trap. "And purebred!" Not those hybrids of humans and elves. I can tell you have a good taste for quality, even in your youth, little Julie. The Elf Princess is shrewd and rarely found in the wild! She reminds me of the one I caught in the Sabraris Empire..."

"That one? Is this my first time hoarding, or my second time? I've been losing shoes ever since that wizard of elf descent cast a spell on me."
"Is it grandpa?"P

Ake frowned. "What did the man say?"
"He can't hear Kia?" Julie asked her uncle.
"Ah, yes, Grandpa became deaf in old age," Winkle told Julie. "But only for the poor."
"So much like a dragon," said Julie, who was

"This is disgraceful!" Cavalier Kia complained.
"What did the homeless dwarf say?" G

Ake asked.
"You're too rich for her," Winkle taunted the paladin.
"That's true!" Grandfather said with the extreme expression of dragon snobbery. "I've lost more wealth than you can ever make!"
"Excuse me, can you tell me about one of your princess hunter adventures?" Julie begged the old dragon. "My uncle Jenilisim always read this book to me when I was a nymphomaniac!"
"Oh, I'm so happy!" What about the time I caught the mermaid princess?" Julie listened intently, ignoring Kia who was sulking next to her. "After hunting the crocodile princess in the jungle of Sirocco, I Looking for challenges in the East China Sea. I knew she would be one of the hardest animals to catch because mermaid princesses are cunning. Did you know they can stay underwater for seven days and nights without having to breathe on the surface?"
"Seven days?" Fankel and Julie were both stunned and immediately repeated it.
"Seven days, they only need five minutes of breathing to repeat the cycle!" I knew that if I wanted to catch her, I had to chase the mermaid princess until she had no choice but to return to the surface. For seven days and seven nights, I chased her across the East China Sea, never sleeping or letting her rest. The beast, cunning as it was, led me to the Great Barrier Reef, where her kind had established a coral colony; the same place where I killed a giant beast in my youth. I knew this thing was camouflaged in the coral, and maybe it wanted to use its companions as bait to slip away. But a true princess hunter is always prepared. In order to catch the princess, you have to think like a princess. "
Julie inhaled. "What did you do?" What did you do?"
"I set a trap," Grandrac said proudly. "I made the bastard think she'd lost me, and then—"
"It's over!"
The dragon turned at the source of the scream and faced the most horrific sight.
A stillborn abomination, bones, flesh, and gallosaur wings lay on the ground, covered in black blood. "Oh my gosh..." Cup Victo
Panting, like Julie's mother did when she laid her eggs. "Oh God, try again!"
When a half-formed hand emerged from the black blood spilling from the cup, everyone onlookers except Chocolate took a step back in horror.
Winkle immediately understood the situation.
"My chief of staff is going to have a baby and just had a miscarriage! Stop humiliating him!" the dragon ordered the frightened servant, then looked sympathetically at the screaming cup. "Do the honorable thing and support him in awkward silence!"
So they did and waited patiently while the Cup Winner kept screaming.
