Subscriber of the Gods Episode 232
Episode 232. Awakening Potential
Kyaang-!
Samir, the ninth disciple whose great sword was broken, took out a small sword and used it to counter the rusty sword swinging by Ethan.
“how……!”
It was clearly a sword that could not be pulled out.
The blessing given by the blacksmith who created the relic has long since turned into a curse.
The sword that only the chosen ones could use has now been transformed into a sword that no one can use.
That’s why I felt safe and used my super powers on that sword.
But how did you pull out that sword?
Clang-! Clang-!
The Nine Apostles, Samir, staggered and struggled to block Ethan’s repeated attacks.
Ethan, who was swinging his sword, frowned slightly.
‘You have to be careful. This could break if you’re not careful.’
Certainly, this holy relic, the rusty sword, was a weapon that had already lost its identity as a sword.
The blade became dull and weak, and it seemed as if it would break if I made even the slightest mistake in controlling the force.
If the sword were to break, he would have to deal with the Nine Apostles with just the sword handle.
“Hoooo.”
Ethan looked at Samir, trying to catch his breath. Even at first glance, he was in no condition to fight properly.
Eyes that keep shaking and body that trembles.
Samir, covered in blood, was already on the verge of death.
When I saw that sight, memories I had forgotten came back to me.
These were memories of playing as a follower of the moon.
‘There was a reason I stopped after doing it just once.’
The evil deeds they committed.
I remembered one by one the disgusting things they had done to revive Mother Moon, including human experiments.
These guys weren’t worth pitying.
How many people will be able to live because of the death of the nine apostles?
‘I didn’t play it with justice or goodness in mind, but the Followers of the Moon were a bit too much.’
Yet, the things the Moon Followers were brazenly doing were nauseating.
“Mother Moon… … is watching… … everything!”
Samir said, spitting up blood.
“Don’t worry. I’ll send you all to the Moon Mother you like. The 11th and 12th Apostles have already gone to the Moon Mother.”
At those words, Samir’s eyes opened wide.
There was a reason why the 12 apostles and the 11 apostles did not receive any contact.
I thought you were already dead.
“As expected… … As expected, everything… … .”
“Yeah, I did.”
Ethan swung his rusty sword diagonally.
“entire.”
Nine Lives, Superpowers – Myo-saeng disappeared as it was, and the Nine Apostles fell forward.
-You have defeated the infamous one!
-Your fame will rise!
* * *
After dealing with the nine apostles, Ethan immediately searched through their chests and found the green jade.
“I have to pack everything I need to pack.”
-The green jade resonates!
-The green jade has merged!
– Stamina stat increased by 5.
-Strength stat increased by 5.
Combining the green jade of the 9 apostles increases the physical strength stat by 5.
“The power of the god I subscribed to was definitely great.”
If it weren’t for Artemis’ moonlight tracking, it wouldn’t have been easy to find the nine apostles hidden in their own space.
‘And super strength. If I didn’t have super strength, the mastery of weapons.’
In the end, he would have lost the Nine Apostles because he was unable to use the rusty sword, which was a holy relic.
‘If that had happened, it would have been a real disaster.’
I would never have guessed that he was hiding super powers.
‘I need the power to counter any kind of superpower. What I know may not be everything.’
Ethan then empowered the rusted sword and activated the power of the Moon Force.
Shaaaaak-.
In an instant, a pure white frost began to form on the rusty sword.
‘What the followers of the moon were after was the divine power remaining in this relic.’
Divine power is the power bestowed by the gods. The reason this old relic is called a holy relic is because the divine power remains intact.
‘You must have been offering this divine power to help revive Moon Mother. You must have been using it to destroy the world. Even though the divine power contained in the holy relic is small, it is still powerful compared to other types of power.’
But this divine power is not easy to handle.
‘Because it’s a completely different power from Mana.’
“You have to try to find out whether it will work or not.”
Ethan pushed the power of the Moon Force even further, and the rusted sword began to flash.
Crunch-! Crunch-!
And then the rusty sword shattered and a pure white energy began to form where the blade had been.
The pure white energy slowly rose upward and soon changed into a round shape.
Soon, as Ethan reached out his hand, the energy passed through his hand and was absorbed by Ethan.
-The power of Moon Force fuses new powers!
-I have absorbed divine power!
-Your chances of survival increase!
Ethan’s body began to feel lively as if he had awakened.
“oh.”
-The survival probability has exceeded 20 percent.
-You have received the 5th quest to survive as Ethan Wickers!

[20 percent chance of survival. With your awakening, you have reached a 20 percent chance of survival. The dormant potential in your body is unlocked.]
[potential power]

Points: 1
[Collect potential points to unlock your potential!]
[Potential points can be earned for every 1 percent increase in survival chance.]
“Yes, something like this is necessary. If you want to somehow survive with a body suffering from extinction disease, something like this is necessary.”
But the opening came too late.
“No wonder the difficulty level is difficult.”
If I hadn’t supplemented with the New World, I would have died before even reaching a 20 percent chance of survival.
“It’s late, but it’s not so bad.”
Ethan first invested his potential points in the areas that needed them most.
“Critical resistance is too ambiguous. Complete evasion would be much better.”
Of the three abilities, the one Ethan needed the most was complete evasion.
‘I don’t know how much evasion you can do, but if you can evade any attack, your chances of survival will increase.’
-[Complete Evasion] increased by 1 point.
-The potential for evasion is unlocked!
Ethan’s entire body glowed with golden light, and soon the light was absorbed into his body.
-3% chance to activate complete evasion.
-Evade all attacks!
“Three percent?”
If you look closely, it was a very low number.
But look, Ethan is already alive with a 20 percent chance of survival.
“3 percent is high.”
Ethan was quite satisfied.
Now that he had done all that he could do, Ethan was about to clean up the warehouse and head out.
“Ouch!”
Lucas, the master of Mana, suddenly jumped on top of Ethan’s head.
“Luca?”
Lucas dug among the ancient relics, then emerged with something in his mouth and shook his head vigorously.
“What is that?”
They were all rusty necklaces.
Lucas bit into it and ate it, crunching it.
“I support that.”
Ethan grabbed Lucas by the scruff of his neck and lifted him up.
But at that moment, a strong mana emanated from Lucas.
“Huh? Can you digest that?”
At Ethan’s words, Lucas cried out and squirmed wildly, begging to be let go. When Ethan let him go, Lucas dug through the ancient relics again, bit one of them in his mouth, and chewed on it.
“… … A fox that eats relics, no, this is my first time seeing a spirit.”
Ethan looked closely at Lucas.
“Your mana is going up? Are you sure that all of those are the mana you can absorb?”
“Ouch!”
Lucas spun around and let out a short cry. It was a sign of approval.
Lucas is the master of mana. In short, he can absorb mana in any way.
“I didn’t know you could absorb it this way. Is it possible because it’s a relic? Lucas! Eat everything you can eat!”
As Lucas’s mana increases, the amount of mana he can pass on to Ethan also increases.
With Ethan’s permission, Lucas began to search for and eat ancient relics in earnest.
After eating five more relics, Lucas finally raised his head and made a gesture indicating that he had finished eating.
“Luca.”
“Ouch!”
When I called Lucas, he started storing the mana he had absorbed.
Shaaaaah-.
And that mana was passed on to Ethan as is.
‘oh.’
It was a surprisingly large amount of mana at the time.
I couldn’t accept everything, but I felt like I could definitely use it if I got the timing right.
“It’s an unexpected harvest.”
Because there were so many ancient relics, it was not noticeable even if a few were lost.
“Surely you didn’t write down a list of relics?”
Ethan roughly cleaned up the basement storage room that Lucas had left in disarray. Nothing had happened here today.
* * *
“Are you okay with a rusty sword?”
“It’s okay. This is enough. After all, the appearance of these treasures isn’t important.”
Late at night.
Ethan was alone with Lohai Felix, who was holding a parchment in his hand.
“Then let’s talk a little more about what we were talking about earlier. How do you plan to expel Marquis Dren from the Twelve Stars?”
If anyone other than Ethan had said he wanted to become a Twelve, I would have cut him off without even listening.
The Twelve Stars, whose structure has already been solidified, will never be broken.
He said that although the ranks may change within it, it is impossible for a new family to enter from outside.
But since it was none other than Ethan who brought it up, Rohai Felix felt a strange sense of anticipation.
I really felt like Ethan could do it.
“First of all, we need two things. One is a pretext. A pretext to attack the Marquis of Dren. I have already prepared this pretext. The second is a shield. The Wickus estate is currently growing in size, but it is not very strong. There is a limit to the amount of money. Wickus needs a shield. A strong shield that can block the Marquis’ attacks.”
Ethan said.
“The Sword Master will officially support Wickus. A swordsmanship school will be established in Wickus’s territory. However, this is not enough. As you know, if you get involved with the interests of the Twelve Stars, you will inevitably commit crimes that are not there.”
Although it was clearly a mockery of the Twelve Constellations, Rohai could not help but nod.
At the same time, he looked surprised at the news that the Black Swordsman was supporting the Wickus family.
“You’re receiving support from the Sword Master. As far as I know, the Sword Master is not the type of person to take others’ side.”
Because of this, the Ramsdale family was acting proudly until the age of the Black Sword.
Since the Twelve Stars moved as a group and did as they pleased, there were no Twelve Star families that they were particularly close with.
However, because the Black Star himself was so strong, the other Twelve Stars were unable to openly express their dissatisfaction.
“With the support of the Black Star and the Felix family joining us, the Whicus shield that I had in mind will be completed.”
The area where Wickus’s territory is located has already been almost completely cleared out. With their combined strength and a strong shield blocking Wickus’s path, they could easily attack Marquis Drenne.
“… … Then first, let me hear what the justification is. I’m sure Ethan knows very well that the justification is the most important. If you come up with a half-assed justification, it will backfire.”
Of course, Ethan knew it too.
That’s why I prepared a solid excuse to attack the Marquis of Dren.
“You know the great sorceress Hecate, right? The three families of the Twelve Stars, including Marquis Dren, hired an assassin to kill him. That Hecate’s granddaughter is still alive.”
“… … !”
Rohai Felix’s expression turned into shock.
