Episode 150.
A message from Hercules floating above the screen.
“What’s going on with this guy all of a sudden?”
Siwoo was wondering something.
That would be the case, since it was rare for Hercules to make the first contact.
Oh, is today PT day?
Siwoo calmly calculated the date.
“…Today isn’t PT day?”
But it wasn’t PT day.
Then why are you suddenly contacting me…?
“Ah. Is it because of the special tutoring?”
The first type of Shinto technique that Siwoo is currently struggling with.
Hercules had left, saying he would come up with a special curriculum.
It seemed like they had planned out the entire curriculum.
“hmm.”
Siwoo was lost in thought for a moment.
There was no other reason.
“I can’t take special lessons right now.”
But um.
It was a difficult situation to just lie still in the hospital room.
“Let me just listen to the story.”
Siwoo pressed the accept button without much hesitation.
Hold on.
The screen changed for a moment with an Accept button.
What appeared on the changed screen was, as expected, a muscular elephant.
No, it was Hercules.
[huh?]
Beyond the screen.
Hercules tilted his head.
He brought his face close and examined Siwoo here and there.
[Why are you dressed like that again?]
[Are you hospitalized again?]
“Oh, yes. It just so happened.”
Siwoo smiled awkwardly and nodded.
Then Hercules clicked his tongue.
[Ew, tsk tsk.]
[He collapses easily and gets hospitalized if he gets hit lightly.]
[It’s a shame that you’re so weak…]
Hercules looked extremely displeased.
But the one who actually collapses and gets hospitalized is Siwoo.
I wonder why Hercules is displeased.
[What if I use my super strength and martial arts?]
[At least you shouldn’t get hit. Hey, tsk.]
It seemed like Siwoo didn’t like the idea of going somewhere and getting beaten up.
But I guess I have feelings for him now.
‘It seems like they’re treating me like a disciple.’
Siwoo answered with a small smile.
“I wasn’t being hit. I became like this because I couldn’t control my power.”
[Huh? Can’t you control your power?]
[What does that mean?]
Siu had briefly explained the secret fight with Zhang Wei earlier.
At the end of a story that was neither too long nor too short.
[hmm….]
Hercules remained silent for a moment, as if lost in thought.
A posture where you place your hand on your chin.
And what.
As expected, his fingers were blocked by his biceps and could not reach his chin.
‘Why do I feel like my muscles have grown bigger than before?’
Could it have gotten any bigger there?
I’m afraid that if we keep doing this, it might really explode.
[therefore.]
After a while, Hercules finished thinking and said:
[Are you saying that you added Master Jang Sam-bong’s Taegeuk to my supernatural power Cheonmyeolkwon?]
“yes.”
[How was that possible?]
Hercules looked as if he couldn’t understand at all.
It’s as if you’re facing something impossible.
Siwoo also tilted his head.
“Is it strange?”
[Strange?]
[It’s not just weird, it’s nonsense.]
Hercules spoke firmly.
“Why? The principles of Taegeuk are embedded in Shintoism. When you were talking last time, didn’t you say that you referred to the principles of Taegeuk when establishing Shintoism?”
[that’s right.]
“Then, can’t we use it by adding Taegeuk?”
Then Hercules shook his head as if it was nonsense.
[I only referenced the Taegeuk.]
[That doesn’t mean that I used Master Jang Sam-bong’s Taegeuk.]
“What’s the difference?”
[That’s why, um…]
Hercules thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
[Remember what I said last time?]
[Individuality is like the uniqueness of existence.]
“yes.”
[You may remember that I said that its uniqueness cannot be denied or overwritten, right?]
In that sense, Siwoo’s individuality, uniqueness, and nothingness.
Thanks to that, Siwoo was able to learn the power of the gods.
Siwoo nodded calmly.
[The same goes for Master Jang Sam-bong’s Taegeuk.]
[Taegeuk is a unique characteristic that only Master Jang Sam-bong possesses.]
[To be more precise, it can be seen as the source of the divinity that Master Jang Sam-bong possesses.]
“The source of divinity?”
[So, each of the gods of GodTube has their own divinity.]
[This divinity is….]
Then Hercules continued to explain something.
Siwoo calmly listened to Hercules’ explanation.
‘…It’s difficult.’
So I just listened.
I honestly couldn’t understand a single thing that was being said.
I don’t know if you know Siwoo’s feelings or not.
[Therefore, no one other than Master Jang Sam-bong can use Taegeuk.]
Hercules continued speaking.
[Of course, you can interpret the principle and use your own Taegeuk.]
[Just like you are teaching other humans now.]
Siwoo nodded slightly.
Because I could understand this.
Hercules continued speaking.
[But it is not Jang Sam-bong’s Taegeuk.]
[No one can use the original Taegeuk.]
“Hercules too?”
[So do i.]
[On the other hand, my brute strength and martial arts are the same.]
[No one else can use super strength and martial arts besides me.]
Then Hercules looked at Siu and said.
[But you used the uniqueness of that existence together.]
[It’s like mixing two unique characteristics together.]
[Originally, it would be normal for two unique identities to clash.]
[But you weren’t like that.]
Siwoo was lost in thought for a moment.
As you can see… .
The Taegeuk (太極) used by Shi-woo – the freaking heavenly destruction fist.
It seemed like a technique that would never be used.
But what.
“What does that mean?”
What do you mean?
No, that’s true.
Isn’t it a well-known fact that Siwoo can learn the powers of other gods?
You used both forces together.
There was nothing particularly special.
but.
[It means you are a ridiculous monster.]
Hercules didn’t seem to think so.
“A monster? Me?”
[Yeah. I just thought you could inherit the powers of other gods and use them.]
[But I didn’t know that the two powers could be combined and used…]
Hercules gave a strange look.
That appearance is just like… .
[There is no monster like this monster?]
It was an expression like looking at a real monster.
But um.
What would it be like to hear something like that from Hercules?
“It’s like a dog covered in shit barking at a dog covered in bran.”
Of course, it wasn’t an exact analogy.
“But is the difference that big? So….”
[What is the difference between the Taegeuk of Master Jang Sam-bong and the Taegeuk I interpreted?]
“yes.”
[You can think of it as the difference between real and fake.]
“That means….”
[The dimensions themselves are different. Of course, the real thing is much higher.]
Is that it?
To be honest, I didn’t really get the feeling of being jealous.
[You can think of it as the difference between the magic you are using right now and my magic.]
“okay.”
Siwoo could understand right away.
[Of course, since you inherited my martial arts, the difference isn’t that big.]
[It’s just a difference in skill level.]
[If this is the case for you, do you have any idea what it must be like for others?]
Siwoo could definitely feel that feeling.
At the same time, I was able to realize:
‘There was a reason I fainted.’
Why couldn’t he withstand the power of the Tai Chi (太極) – the freaking heavenly destruction fist?
The reason for this was also clearly understandable.
[I don’t think I, or anyone on GodTube, will be able to handle this monster.]
Of course, I still don’t understand what he’s saying.
anyway.
[I guess I’ll have to readjust the curriculum.]
“Huh? Adjustment?”
[Yeah. Now that I’m listening to your story, a more interesting thought has come to mind.]
[You added the power of the Supreme Ultimate to the Great Power of Heavenly Annihilation.]
[Then wouldn’t it be possible to add other powers to other herbivores?]
“Uh… maybe?”
I haven’t tried it, but it seems like it might be possible.
[In that sense, let’s add different divine powers to each herbivore.]
“Are you saying that you are adding the power of another god to Nakryonggak?”
[that’s right.]
Hercules nodded as if to say that it was exactly that.
[It’s not just Nakryongak.]
[All the beginner’s techniques of the new martial arts that you will learn in the future.]
[Maybe then the speed at which you learn Shinto magic will also increase significantly?]
“uh….”
Siwoo was dazed for a moment.
[I think that the Great Power Heavenly Annihilation Fist and Taegeuk are a good match.]
[Because I also interpreted and added Tai Chi in the first place.]
[So I think we can leave it as is.]
Then Hercules fell into thought again.
And for a moment.
[The question is what kind of divine power to add to other herbivores…]
[What is the personality you are learning now?]
Siwoo manipulated his smartphone as if possessed.
I haven’t been able to check it for a while.
The skill level has increased quite a bit.
And is it because of this Taegeuk (太極) – the freaking heavenly destruction fist?
The proficiency in Shintoism and Taegeuk increased the most.
Hercules’ Divine Fighting Skill (SSS) +5.18%.
Jang Sam-bong’s Taegeuk [太極] (SS) +10.2%.
‘It’s really gone up a lot.’
They say that if you fuse the powers of other gods, you will learn the art of divine combat faster.
The evidence was certainly right before my eyes.
Siwoo told Hercules about the personalities he was currently learning.
[Hmm…]
[With the personalities you have now, hmm…]
Hercules continued to ponder his thoughts.
This time, the worries continued for quite a while.
[I don’t see anything that would fuse.]
[But it would be a shame to only fuse Taegeuk.]
[Hmm…]
It seemed that there was a limit to the individuality that Siwoo was learning at the moment.
“If that doesn’t work, you can subscribe to new channels as needed.”
[Huh? Really?]
Then Hercules asked with a smile.
[Wasn’t it hard for you to subscribe to other channels?]
[They say it costs a lot of money to join the membership.]
“Oh, well, things worked out well. I have a lot of free time now.”
None other than the hundreds of billions that will be invested annually.
The subscription fees to join other channels were hefty.
[Then the story becomes easier.]
Hercules smiled broadly.
But that was only for a moment.
[Then I will re-organize the curriculum.]
[I should ask other gods too.]
Hercules nodded and spoke.
I thought I could get special tutoring.
It was a bit of a strange remark.
But whatever.
Anyway, I was in a situation where I needed to get special tutoring right away.
“Yes, that’s right.”
Siwoo nodded willingly.
With that, Siwoo ended the video call with Hercules.
[I… I… have that.]
No, I was going to quit.
Beyond the smartphone screen.
Hercules was rolling his eyes.
I was sneaking glances at Siwoo.
“Do you have anything else to say?”
When Siwoo asked, Hercules scratched the back of his head and said.
[It’s nothing special…]
[There’s an old saying that goes like this.]
[If the word you say is good, then the word coming back at you is good.]
haha.
Hercules let out an awkward laugh.
and.
“Why is that?”
Siwoo wondered what Hercules was talking about.
If the word you say is good, then the word coming back at you is good.
What do you mean?
[I’ll even go to the gods to get you special tutoring.]
[I will try my best to teach you.]
[therefore….]
[Wasn’t the passing remark pretty?]
Hercules kept talking while looking at Siwoo’s face.
and.
“ah.”
Siwoo was able to understand the meaning of Hercules’ words.
therefore.
“If there is a going, there must also be a coming, right? That’s what you’re saying, isn’t it?”
What’s coming is none other than GodTube video content.
[I don’t necessarily mean that.]
[ha ha ha….]
He said that, but that’s what Hercules looks like on the screen.
Crunch, crunch!
So the muscles were not honest.
Is that why?
‘Me too.’
Siwoo couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
No, what is that proverb patch?
They say that after three years of studying at a local school, a dog can recite poetry.
It seemed that it had not been three years since Hercules had subscribed to the Confucius Channel.
“hmm.”
Siwoo was lost in thought for a moment.
Originally I was planning to pay later.
So, I was thinking of taking some special lessons and letting you know.
But things have changed a little.
‘I think it might be okay to let you know in advance.’
You may have some free time.
I thought it might be okay to pay up front once in a while.
“great.”
Siwoo nodded willingly.
[really?!?!]
Then Hercules looked startled.
He strode forward, his face filling the entire screen, expressing his anticipation.
‘Why, I look like a black stone when I eat.’
Siwoo shook his head from side to side.
[What content is it this time?]
Siwoo thought about it for a moment.
There was a lot of content in mind.
What should I take out this time?
‘Should we try a confrontation content with Jecheon Daeseong?’
Content I was secretly curious about.
This was probably something that other gods would be curious about as well.
But since I’ve decided to tell you anyway.
‘Oh yeah.’
Siwoo slowly opened his mouth as a thought suddenly occurred to him.
“Aphrodite and Persephone.”
Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty.
Persephone, queen of the underworld.
Two goddesses appearing in Greco-Roman mythology.
“This video content is all about capturing those two goddesses.”
