Episode 189. Algorithm Enhancement
-You have defeated the infamous one!
-Your reputation will rise greatly!
Ethan let out a short sigh and caught his breath.
“The Immortal Hero’s breathing is truly amazing. He can completely block the 11 Apostles’ super strength. I thought it would work a few times.”
Ethan gained a lot from this fight.
‘I have now confirmed exactly how strong I am.’
This was the biggest harvest.
Although he had the advantage of blocking his opponent’s superhuman powers, he was able to overwhelm the 11 Apostles without giving them the upper hand even for a single moment.
“Besides, it was a great achievement to kill the person I wanted to kill the most.”
Ethan examined the fallen body of Arch Deixothos.
“I don’t need the mace, it’s all broken, and, um, I don’t need the gold either.”
As Ethan searched through the arms of the dead Ark, something caught his hand.
“Here it is.”
I found the Ark’s sacred water, the green jade of the 11 apostles.
Its shape was different from that of the green jade of the 12 apostles, Luna Spirit.
‘It’s a diamond shape.’
“huh?”
As soon as Ethan held the two green jades, the green jades began to resonate with each other.
Jieeeeing-!
Then the two green jade beads merged into one.
Shaaaaak-.
-The green jade has merged!
-Nokjuok has acknowledged you as her new master.
-Specific stats increase by 4!
– Stamina stat increases by 4.
“Is there a function like this?”
Ethan was quite surprised.
I thought I knew everything about the Moon Followers, but since I hadn’t reached the rank of Apostle, there was definitely information I didn’t know.
“It’s actually good.”
I unintentionally received the master’s recognition from Nokjuok and even received bonus effects.
“I thought it was just an item to prove my identity.”
Ethan grinned.
“The higher the stats, the better.”
Shaaaaak-.
Ethan, who had swung his frost sword and taken the life out of the 11 apostles, headed back to the cave.
* * *
The followers of the moon were still talking, not understanding the situation.
“Why did the apostles fight among themselves?”
“It looks like something big has happened.”
“Hmm, I don’t know.”
“But which number is the new apostle?”
While everyone was guessing the situation, Ethan appeared.
“Apostle!”
“You have come, Apostle!”
The followers greeted Ethan and glanced behind him. The eleven apostles who had fought him were nowhere to be seen.
“Can you tell us what happened… … ?”
“Yeah, you guys should know too.”
Ethan said.
Then he took out the frost sword and swung it.
Shaaaaak-.
The nearby followers of the moon were frozen by Ethan’s frost sword.
Then Ethan stomped his feet hard.
-Use Earthquake!
Kkwaddddddddddd-!
The followers of the frozen moon turned into chunks of ice and fell to the ground.
“Go to the afterlife and ask the Eleven Apostles directly. Tell them what happened.”
“Wh, what! What is this!”
“You! You’re not an apostle!”
“Do you really think I’m not an apostle?”
The followers of the moon could not hide their confusion at Ethan’s words. It was clear that even this action was extremely apostle-like.
“Then why!”
“Why are you killing us like this! We believed in Mother Moon and worked hard according to her will!”
“You should reward us instead of punishing us. Why are you killing us!”
“Are you curious about that too?”
Ethan knew their tendencies very well.
From the First Order to the Third Order gathered here, when an order is given, it is carried out without regard to its content.
It is different from non-educated believers.
‘There isn’t a single decent one.’
I know because I experienced it firsthand. These are people who would even sacrifice their lives for the Dawn Society. They were brainwashed to do so and were educated for it.
‘It was not someone else who caused the uneducated believers to fall into the abyss.’
No matter how sadistic the 11 apostles may have been, they do not manage hundreds of people one by one.
‘The rest was all done by these guys.’
“Death is salvation. Now I am offering you salvation, so why do you reject that grace?”
It was one of the doctrines of the Dawn Meeting. Those who were brainwashed by this doctrine moved for the meeting without any consideration for the consequences.
I don’t care if I lose my life because of it, because I believe that I will be saved through death.
“Ha, but!”
“You can all go and check for yourself. It would be a waste to talk about it here, so I will show mercy myself. Go and check as soon as possible.”
After dealing with the followers of the moon, Ethan went out with the new followers of the Moon Force as originally planned.
They were still shaking with fear.
Having suffered terrible things from the 11 apostles so many times, it was natural that he would not be able to easily escape from that fear.
“No need to worry, everyone. It’s all over. No one will force you to become a Moon Mother anymore.”
Ethan led the new Moon Force followers to the temple.
‘I thought I’d have to look around since you didn’t tell me the exact location.’
There was a reason I didn’t tell you the location.
“I can tell just by looking at it.”
As we emerged from the cave, a temple that had not been seen before stood tall.
“What the heck is this place… … .”
“It’s a building that clearly never existed… … .”
Since they knew this area very well, they were surprised and bewildered by the sudden appearance of the Moon Force Temple.
“This is the Temple of Moon Force. This is the temple of the goddess who looks down on you.”
Ethan said.
“As I said before, you don’t necessarily have to live here. Just pray to Moon Force every once in a while when you think of it. You are now free.”
“freedom…….”
This was something they had never had before.
It was taken away from us by being forced to trust Mother Moon.
“They would be flustered if I suddenly told them they were free. Besides, there would be some who received potions from the Society for treatment. They wouldn’t be able to survive without the Society’s help in many ways.”
Ethan recommended Prochesht to them.
“Go to Prochesht. I will provide you with all the resources you need, so just go there and say my name.”
“… …Can we hear the name of the messenger of God who saved us?”
Ethan nodded and answered the questions of the believers who were asking while holding each other’s hands.
“Ethan Wickes.”
* * *
Ethan returned to the cave and healed the captured Holy Knights.
“Euuuu, where is this… … .”
“Van, that was really great. To take out that many followers by yourself. That was really a great immortalism. I didn’t expect that the followers would be so fascinated by the mace and dance around that they would rush at you on their own.”
“……yes?”
Ban Crow looked puzzled.
But as Ethan continued to praise him for his great performance, Ban’s expression changed to one of, “Did I really do that?”
“Thank you, Ban!”
“Thank you, Ban!”
“Thanks to you, I survived!”
“Thank you, Ethan. I really thought… I thought I was going to die.”
Half of the praise from the Holy Knights made him laugh out loud, half incredulous. Ethan chuckled at the sight and pointed toward the exit.
“Everyone, go back first. I’ve already dealt with all the followers here.”
“Aren’t you going together?”
“I still have work to do.”
The most important thing remains.
‘Because I have to get a reward from the Temple of Moon Force.’
After all the knights left, Ethan emerged from the cave and entered the new temple of Moon Force.
Unlike other temples of Moon Force, it was quite small in scale, perhaps because it had already been destroyed and rebuilt once.
However, as expected from a temple of Moon Force, there was a statue of Moon Force.
Ethan stood in front of the statue and clasped his hands together in prayer.
-May Moon Force bless your prayers.
-Check out the rewards!
A light swirled around the altar next to the statue, and soon a box appeared.
Ethan opened the box right away.
-Check your rewards!
“This…….”
It was a pair of shoes. They had a fairly simple design and didn’t seem to have any special features.
-I got Moon Force’s Leather Boots (S)!
– Boots imbued with special abilities.
It looked simple, but it didn’t feel ordinary.
As expected, Horus’ eyes saw that the boots were filled with cold.
‘Cold attribute shoes?’
Ethan immediately put on his leather boots.
“oh.”
And when I breathed in mana, something amazing happened.
Tiny wings sprouted from his leather boots and spread out.
The white wings that popped out with the fresh blue cold air lifted Ethan’s body into the sky.
But the flight didn’t last long.
“It seems that the duration is determined by the amount of mana held.”
The time that Ethan could fly with his current mana was exactly one second.
“It may be awkward right now, but if you use it properly, it could be useful when you go to Sky Island.”
I feel this every time I receive it, but the rewards from Moon Force are extremely useful.
“I will continue to do well as I have been doing, Goddess. I will increase the number of believers and rebuild the forgotten temples.”
Shaaaak-.
Moon Force’s blessing came upon such Ethan.
* * *
When Ethan returned with all the missing Holy Knights, Archbishop Inosin immediately appointed him as an honorary bishop.
“I will pray that the Goddess’ blessings will always be with Ethan, the new Bishop of Holy Light. I am truly grateful for this. I have heard the whole story from the Holy Knights.”
This was such a great achievement that even Archbishop Inosin was surprised.
Of course, Ethan didn’t say anything about his fight with the Apostle.
When the party said that they were able to win because the apostle was away, Archbishop Inosin had no choice but to agree.
‘It’s better to keep the killing of the apostle hidden until it can be hidden.’
Archbishop Inosin, who was impressed, felt even more awe towards Ethan as he spoke of his great achievements in a reduced manner.
“I will remember that fair and just heart.”
As he said this, Archbishop Inosin gave Ethan his blessing.
Archbishop Inosin’s blessing was much more sacred than Bishop Vincent’s blessing the other day.
Because the divine power it possessed was much more immense.
But Ethan is already a descendant of Moon Force.
Even receiving the blessing of the Goddess of Holy Light didn’t mean much.
‘But it’s still cool.’
Archbishop Inosin’s blessing was distinctly different from the blessings of other bishops. The slight blue color mixed in with the sparkling feeling was very attractive even at first glance.
‘I’ll have to remember that.’
This blessing will later be made into a new product to be sold at Ethan’s workshop and will sell well.
“Now, Ethan has become the honorary bishop of our Holy Light. Holy Light will provide much help to Ethan in the future, so I hope that Ethan will also work for Holy Light.”
“Please take good care of me, Archbishop Inosin.”
This concludes the work on the Holy Light side.
‘The plan to meet the saint, the preparations on the part of the religious order have taken a big step forward.’
Now all that’s left is to take several routes to increase your chances of meeting the saint.
‘Put the following plan into action.’

– [Subscribe to the right god] has been replying a lot lately. Have you seen it?
-Yes, he answered my question. I had a hard time practicing Xiang Yu’s reverse firing, so I asked him a question, and he answered me right away. I moved my body as he told me, and my reverse firing skill really improved.
-Huh? I also asked Mr. Chuck Jun-kyung about his skills… … .
-My question was to Heo Jun.
[Subscribe to Only the Right God], who appeared on the community’s Q&A board, began answering numerous questions.
Not only was the number of replies surprising, but the content was also on a different level from other predictable replies.
The content was easy to understand and easy to try out right away.
– I guess career positions are different. It was the same when I wrote my subscription review, but it’s possible because I already understood everything I learned in this new world.
-If I could, I would like to give you 100 more points of internal energy.
Ethan checked in with his followers on the community to see how they were responding to the mentions he received.
‘Fortunately, there was no backlash.’
Some subscribers might have tried to sabotage Ethan out of jealousy. Or they might have imitated Ethan’s sudden appearance of replying and thought he was up to something new.
‘Everyone has their own standards.’
Contrary to concerns, no one followed Ethan blindly.
‘Thanks to you, I’m gaining a lot of internal energy.’
Now there is not much internal energy left.
If only five more answers I had saved could be confirmed, I would finally have 200 points of internal energy.
-You have collected 200 internal energy!
-You have become an expert on the Q&A board.
-[Question & Answer Bulletin Board] You have been promoted to hero rank.
“oh.”
You’ve been promoted to hero rank.
If so, there will definitely be a reward.
[Heroic Intellectual!]
-From now on, your answers will be given priority to all questioners.
“Of course there are benefits.”
Ethan grinned. If the answer is revealed first, it will be of great help later when gathering internal energy.
– A new internal energy shop opens.
-The items available for purchase in the internal energy shop vary depending on the level.
[Welcome to the Internal Energy Shop]
[My current internal energy: 200]
[article]
-Right to merge with God [100 internal energy]
-New World Project [1,000 Internal Energy]
-Gangshin Kwon [2,000 internal energy]
… … .
“What is this?”
A newly appeared internal energy shop. There were two unidentifiable items there.
“New World Project? What is this that requires 1,000 internal energy?”
Even the Kangshinkwon below it required a whopping 2,000 internal energy.
“Once I level up, I can definitely buy something great.”
It took me quite some time to get 200. 1,000 or 2,000 were numbers I couldn’t even imagine.
“If you keep replying, you will be able to buy it.”
Ethan was particularly interested in something called the New World Project.
Aren’t you curious about the name itself?
“I guess I’ll have to buy that first when we get together.”
It is something that can only be obtained by paying a whopping 1,000 internal energy points, so it is clearly an extraordinary item.
“Because I’ve already collected all 200.”
What was important now was the algorithm reinforcement ticket that could be purchased with these 200 internal energy points.
-Uses 200 internal energy.
-You have purchased [Algorithm Enhancement Ticket]!
-Temporarily applied algorithm enhancement.
“It’s not permanent.”
Well, in a way, it’s natural.
This is an algorithm enhancement that was already effective.
But if you can strengthen it with just 200 internal energy, that would be a real balance collapse.
‘Then let’s take a look. I wonder if the Algorithm Enhancement Ticket I purchased by collecting 200 points of internal energy is worth it.’
Ethan searched for keywords.
The keywords were the same as before.
[How To Train Your Dragon]
As soon as I searched like that, the algorithm responded.
-The algorithm is looking for God according to your situation.
Soon after, the algorithm recommended a new product with a “ding” sound.
“This…….”
Ethan looked at the name of the god recommended by the algorithm with astonishment.
