Subscriber of the Gods Episode 81
Episode 81. Universal Knowledge
-[War Addict]: My life changed after subscribing to Hangwoo.
-[You don’t do it]: I subscribed because I believed that offense is the best defense. I thought mandatory defense would become mandatory offense, but it wasn’t.
-[Physical Strength]: I chose Hang-woo after debating between Hercules and him. He can destroy anything with the power he unleashes in an instant. I recommend him.
As expected, there was nothing that really caught my attention among the subscription reviews.
-I thought there were only attack skills, but I was surprised to see that there were defensive skills. Of course, I didn’t watch the video.
“You have defensive skills?”
-Would you like to subscribe to [Hang-woo]?
-The number of likes required to subscribe is ’15’.
When I subscribed to Horus, I got 6 likes.
A requirement that is a whopping 2.5 times higher.
‘It’s pretty big.’
It was a larger unit than I thought.
I had to use up almost all the likes I had to subscribe to Hangwoo.
‘There’s no need to save up on likes. There are always ways to get them in the future.’
Since the number is not infinite, you just have to choose carefully.
Soon Ethan made up his mind.
‘I believe in algorithmic choice.’
This is the god that came out when searching with the keyword [Defense]. That definitely meant that Hang-woo had the technology that Ethan needed at the moment.
“It doesn’t matter if there isn’t any.”
Ethan just realized he was on the rise as he browsed the subscriber community.
Enough to be able to influence a large number of subscribers with your own subscription reviews.
‘There are many people who subscribe to the same god I subscribe to. I can use that as a negotiation weapon.’
You can even ask Xiang Yu to create a video just for you.
“Let’s go and see.”
Ethan immediately subscribed to Hang Yu.
-You have subscribed to Hang Woo!
-You have used Like.
Within a short while, videos of Xiang Yu were released one by one.
There are six videos in total.
As expected, the famous god was different.
Each video was highly liked and viewed as it conveyed the powerful force that comes to mind when thinking of Xiang Yu.
‘There will be many people who subscribe to Hang-woo because they need his power.’
The word that represents him is reverse oscillation.
A power so great that it can uproot mountains and cover the world.
Most people seemed to subscribe to get that power.
‘Because there are a lot of people who subscribe to it and compare it to Hercules.’
While Ethan was looking through Hang-woo’s videos, he came across one that had particularly few views and likes.
“Universal knowledge.”
Maninjijik, how to face ten thousand people alone and not die.
That was the title.
“This is it.”
Ethan grinned.
The title was such that it made one wonder why the algorithm recommended Hang-woo to him.
Xiang Yu was a god with such great strength that he could face ten thousand men.
If we think about it the other way around, it means that he had excellent defensive skills to the point where he could fight ten thousand people without dying.
‘There’s no way I could just hit him with my body.’
The first of six videos provided by this channel was available for free.
You’ve probably all seen the video that says “Reverse Emission Machine”, but Ethan wanted to watch this one first.
‘Even if you gain the ability by seeing that reverse radiant energy, it is impossible to pull out mountains like Xiang Yu without increasing your proficiency.’
And the conditions for raising that skill level will also be quite strict.
Well, right now it wasn’t a priority for Ethan.
‘Defense capabilities are a definite plus.’
Ethan immediately pressed the image of the universal map.
-Thank you for subscribing to me. Subscriber. This video of Maninjijik is, as the name suggests, a video that teaches the know-how of fighting ten thousand people without getting hurt.
Red hair.
Jet-black eyes and bulging muscles.
He was a god of determination similar to Hercules, but he definitely had a different feel.
His personality was revealed in his tightly tied hair, which gave off a serious aura.
– Offense is the best defense. But that also means that defense can be the best offense. This Maninjijik is the strongest technique I created based on that logic.
Dozens of horned bulls appeared next to Xiang Yu. The bulls, who looked so strong that their muscles were visible, charged at Xiang Yu while snorting.
Gurrung-! Gurrung-!
The strength of the horse was so great that it seemed as if lightning could be heard every time it ran.
Xiang Yu watched those cows.
-Universal cognitive.
Then he was met with a direct charge from the cows.
“oh.”
Although he should have been shocked by the cows, Xiang Yu was fine on the spot.
– Absorbs power cognitively and then spits it out.
Energy was gathered in Xiang Yu’s hand. It was the damage that the dozens of horned oxen had just given Xiang Yu as they charged.
Xiang Yu extended his fist, absorbing the damage as it was.
Boom-!
With a loud noise, the horned oxen flew away.
-The higher your skill level, the more you can counter the right attack! You defeat your opponent by using his or her strength. It is a power that is truly meaningful the stronger your opponent is.
“Depending on your skill level, you can absorb the opponent’s attack and then release it.”
I could understand it right away.
‘It’s not just about defending, it’s also about being able to attack and defend at the same time.’
It was a technique that matched perfectly with the catchphrase that Xiang Yu had put forth.
“You made a good choice.”
Ethan grinned. It was a good thing he trusted the algorithm.
-However, power that is too strong cannot be absorbed. Even if it is absorbed, it will only be to a certain extent.
“But it’s still possible to defend. Anyway.”
That was important. If you block once with Moonlight Defense and recover with unfading stamina, you can use this Universal Intuition as the third method.
‘Besides, it also has meaning in one-on-many fights.’
It was a useful technique that could be used in many different ways.
-I learned about universal geography!
-Added Skill: Universal Intelligence (S)
Ethan immediately exited the new world.
Then we moved deep into Grand Horn again.
Krrrrung-.
At some point, the howling of a wolf was heard nearby.
They were the blue wolves we fought against earlier.
But there was one difference.
“Kururururuk-!”
At the very front of these blue wolves was a werewolf.
“You are the leader of these blue wolves.”
It was a werewolf that looked to be about three meters tall.
The werewolf looked at Ethan and roared. Then the blue wolves rushed at him at the same time.
Horus’s eyes captured the wolves’ every movement. Ethan closed his eyes slightly as he felt pain.
And when I opened it again, the wolves were right in front of me.
It’s already too late to avoid it.
Of course, Ethan had no intention of avoiding it.
“Krrrrrr!”
A wolf bit Ethan straight in the face.
“Universal knowledge.”
The damage that should have come in as is did not come in.
-Absorbs damage!
– Damage accumulated [7%]
‘Is this how it is? It’s definitely difficult. It seems like there’s a set area that needs to be hit.’
It certainly wasn’t easy, perhaps because it was of the highest difficulty.
Crunch! Crunch!
The wolves attacked Ethan one after another.
In an instant, Ethan was bitten by wolves all over his body.
As the wolves completely incapacitated Ethan, the werewolf roared toward the sky once more.
“Krrrrrr!”
The werewolf slowly approached his prey, thinking he had made an easy kill.
But something was strange.
The wolves were tearing at their prey with all their might, but their prey looked perfectly fine.
– Damage accumulated [88%]
– Damage accumulated [96%]
-The accumulated damage has reached its limit!
A chill ran down the werewolf’s back for a moment.
It was a ferocious aura.
That ominous feeling I’ve felt once before.
Kwaaang-!
All the wolves that had attacked Ethan with a loud noise suddenly flew backwards as if they had exploded.
And there stood Ethan, sword in hand.
“Krrrrr.”
The werewolf realized the identity of this energy. It was the energy he had once felt from a giant golden wolf.
death.
Ethan’s sword cut off the frozen werewolf’s neck.

“It makes perfect sense that the best defense is a good offense.”
What Xiang Yu pursued was the power of both offense and defense.
Maninjijik was the perfect technology for that attack and defense.
Of course, there were too many things to be careful about when using it at the highest difficulty level.
‘If you lose focus even just a little bit and hit the wrong target, it can cause great damage to not only everyone, but even just one person.’
But it was definitely a defense.
The level Ethan wants.
“It’s an algorithm after all.”
I used a whopping 15 likes and I have no regrets.
Having gotten what he wanted, Ethan prepared to return to the Academy right away.
“Previously.”
Ethan looked around with the Eye of Horus.
We’ve come so deep inside that there shouldn’t be any traces of people.
“You should take what you bring with you frugally.”
Ethan quickly moved and bent down after checking under the tree. There were many good herbs there.
“You can always stock up on herbal medicine ingredients so you don’t run out.”
As expected, it was Grand Horn.
There were many good quality herbs here and there.
There were many kinds of herbs in particular, and they had all grown well for more than a year. They were high-quality herbs that had grown in good soil and received sunlight.
Ethan carefully picked the herbs.
If there was one important thing when picking herbs, it was the method of picking them.
You might think that all picking is the same, but the condition of the herb changes depending on how you pick it.
‘If you just open it roughly, even an herb that should be grade A will end up being grade B.’
It had to be pulled out carefully because its efficacy was reduced.
‘Hold on to the top of your head. Slowly.’
Ethan carefully picked the herbs and placed them one by one in his subspace pouch.
As I continued to pull out the herbs that were caught in Horus’s eye without straightening my back, quite a lot of them flowed out before I knew it.
“Anyway, the way back is straight through Poongun.”
This is how we acquired the technology to move.
“huh?”
Ethan was about to use his wind and clouds to prepare to turn back when he saw something in his eyes.
A trace that would have been overlooked if it weren’t for the Eye of Horus.
As I got closer, I saw a very familiar trace there.
χ.
Two crescent moons supporting each other.
The sign of the Moon Follower was there. It was hidden so secretly that it would have been impossible to find by any other means.
“Why is the sign of the Moon Follower here?”
If it was hidden to this extent, it was clear that important information had to be hidden.
Ethan immediately recognized the sign.
‘We’ll be making contact here. Three days from now.’
[Waking up from hibernation][Mother bear hunting][Diet sharing]
“It’s a mother bear hunt. Sharing the menu is probably on the agenda.”
Waking up from hibernation probably means parent-teacher conferences, and the students at school are cubs and the parents are mother bears.
“It seems that Shudlen can’t be found because we made contact in a place like this.”
Ethan put the marker back in its place as if nothing had happened.
“I’m going down first.”
It was written that the contact would be made in three days. Ethan used the wind and clouds to return home first.
We still don’t know exactly what they’re trying to do.
“I don’t know what you’re trying to do.”
Ethan smiled brightly.
“That would be good for me.”
