Chapter 874


    At that moment, Minhyuk felt the same things that First Food God Ravier had. He felt those gods'' mocking gazes and jeers while they told him he was a god who knew nothing but eating.


    God of Dungeon Evas giggled as he poured wine over Ravier. Then, he said, You do not have the qualifications. Dont <em>even</em> think of taking another step into the Land of the Gods.


    Ravier, driven out by the gods right after those words rang in his ears, looked at the Banquet of the Gods with helplessness and despair. Minhyuk felt all of that. He saw the world through Raviers eyes and felt the emotions that wracked his entire body at that very moment. As the sessor of the Food God, Minhyuk felt anger wash over him. He just could not understand it.


    Eating. This was one of the most important things that one, whether they were humans or gods, needed to live and survive. It could even be said to be at the same level as the air that everyone breathed in. Without food, people would die of hunger. Food could bring happiness, delight, and excitement.


    However, the gods ignored this fact and refused to ept this universal truth.


    <em>Clench</em>


    Minhyuk watched everything through Raviers eyes as he clenched the dirt beneath his palms. He could feel the anger that wracked Raviers entire being. Not long after, Ravier left the Land of the Gods.


    At the same time, the video changed. This time, Minhyuk was not viewing things through Raviers eyes. He was viewing everything from a third persons perspective.


    <em>[Food God Ravier wanted to take revenge on the gods that ignored him.]</em>


    Ravier was sitting in front of his statue, inside his shabby Food God Temple, and making something. Minhyuk could not confirm what kind of dish Ravier was making because he was stuck behind Ravier and could only view the mans busy back. Perhaps it was a poison that could kill anyone the moment it touched their mouths.


    Then, Raviers figure scattered into the air and disappeared from Minhyuks view.


    <em>[Thousands of yearster.]</em>


    <em>Thud, thud, thud, thud</em>


    Someone walked inside the shabby and dark temple filled with dust and cobwebs. Minhyuk could see the identity of the figure. It was <em>him.</em> Minhyuk had skipped most of this quest. That may be why this video was made and shown to him.


    Minhyuk walked inside the temple and stood in front of the statue of Food God Ravier. At that moment, Raviers voice resonated in the otherwise silent temple.


    <em>[I was ignored.]</em>


    <em>[Even after all this time, I still think the other gods will ignore and refuse to ept the Food God.]</em>


    This was a fact. If, by any chance, the one that became a Food God was not Minhyuk? What would have happened to that person? It would have been hard for that person to be as influential and as powerful as the Minhyuk of today was. Their stats might have reached quite a high level, but the chances of them not being able to get the position Minhyuk was standing at right now was high.


    Minhyuk was strong not only because he carried the Food God ss but also because his strength and power were cultivated through his efforts, various talents, and incredible luck. All of that came together to create who he is today.


    <em>[My sessor.]</em>


    The <em>other</em> Minhyuk standing before Raviers statue listened intently to the first Food Gods voice.


    <em>[Make remarkable achievements and show those who have ignored and trampled on the Food God ss how wrong they were.]</em>


    <em>[Once you receive their approval and recognition, the dish I have made will judge them.]</em>


    Then, the video ended.


    ***


    After he finished watching the video, a series of notifications rang in Minhyuks ears.


    <em>[More information on the </em><strong><em>Linked Quest</em></strong><em>: The Food Gods Achievement has been released.]</em>


    <em>[You can undertake the quest for one year.]</em>


    <em>[You must reach at least 60% in the Achievement Rate during the one-year quest period.]</em>


    <em>[Failure to reach at least 60% Achievement Rate during the one-year quest period will be considered a failure.]</em>


    <em>[If you fail the quest, one of your Food Gods skills will be randomly chosen and deleted.]</em>


    Fortunately, the quest period was quite long. Only at this moment did Minhyuk realize how amazing Helenias rewards were.


    <em>This was a linked quest that I dont know which level or what conditions I needed to meet before it could be triggered.</em>


    Since quests like this often went on for a long time, the rewards he received from Helenia were very generous. Minhyuk also estimated that this should probably be the quest rted to the Food God with the greatest difficulty, which meant that the rewards he would receive would most likely be very generous.


    <em>Maybe Ill be able to get a power that will allow me to eat more delicious dishes?</em>


    However, it was not that urgent. Minhyuk nned to take things slow and continue eating delicious dishes and ingredients with a light and unbothered heart.


    <em>Should I visit Abel to find out where God-grade dishes are located? </em>Just when the thought shed in Minhyuks head, the voice of a very unexpected person rang in his ears.


    <em>[The Battle Gods Voice wants tomunicate with you.]</em>


    The Battle God is asking to have a conversation with Minhyuk. Of course, Minhyuk epted. Not long after, the voice of the Battle God rang.


    <em>[Many gods doubt your qualifications as the Battle God.]</em>


    The Battle God began to tell him about the situation. ording to the Battle Gods words, he had been under much pressure from many gods since he had chosen Minhyuk as his sessor. Of course, as the Battle God, his position was stable enough that it would not shake even if he were put under pressure.


    However, the problem was Minhyuk was not the Battle God, but the <em>Battle Gods Descendant</em>. And this situation would most likely be a massive issue for him. After all, these gods might just create tremendous obstacles and hinder Minhyuks ns and development.


    <em>[So, they all made a vow with me. If you can sessfully attack and clear the Argalis Dungeon created by Evas in the Land of the Gods, they will acknowledge your qualifications.]</em>


    The Battle God continued to exin, telling Minhyuk that it was a dungeon challenged by many arrogant gods and that none emerged alive.


    <em>[If they acknowledge your qualifications, then a few gods might turn to your side. But for now, they are all supporting and pushing for Nerva.]</em>


    The Battle God continued.


    <em>[I tried to ignore their words as much as possible, but the God of Dungeons stepped forward and took the lead. So, I was left in a situation where I had to agree.]</em>


    Wait. Minhyuk, who listened to the Battle Gods words, suddenly noticed something unusual. God of Dungeons? God of Dungeon Evas?


    <em>[God of Dungeons Evas created that dungeon. The one Im talking about, God of Dungeons Bentley, is his sessor.]</em>


    Minhyuk recalled Evas''s face in the video as he poured the wine over Raviers face while giggling. It seemed like this dungeon was the masterpiece created by that hateful Evas.


    And that guys sessor is the one that has taken the lead in denying my existence and position, huh?


    Perhaps the sessor of the God of Dungeons had heard Evas say that the <em>Food God</em> was a <em>trash-like</em> god. It seemed like the Food Gods quest, and the Argalis Dungeon had quite a strange connection.


    <em>If I can do this well, then</em>


    If Minhyuk could clear Argalis Dungeon, he may be able to get revenge for Ravier. That was not all. He would not only be able to make excellent achievements and clear the Food Gods quest but also receive the acknowledgement and recognition of the gods.


    However, Minhyuk still had to consider the most important thing: Are you going to give me something delicious?


    <em>[...]</em>


    The Battle God was left speechless for a moment when he saw Minhyuk prioritize food over getting the recognition of the gods.


    Im just trying to earn a living here.


    The Battle God soon answered.


    <em>[The rewards of Argalis Dungeon are known to be very special. Each gate carries a reward. And ording to the records, clearing the final gate will give you the greatest reward.]</em>


    <em>[Evas called the rewards a dream.When you receive your reward, the things you imagine and dream of wille true.]</em>


    If I were dreaming of obtaining the greatest sword, would ite true and be reality? Is that how it works?


    <em>[Its pretty simr. Even if you cant be given the greatest sword in existence, the Argalis Dungeon will provide you with the best sword in the rewards list that it had.]</em>


    After hearing that, Minhyuk knew that whatever he dreamt of woulde true as a reward. It was quite a unique and thrilling reward.


    <em>Ah,e to think of it. If I think of something that I want to eat, then</em>


    What Minhyuk wanted to eat was very simple. It was none other than food from a <em>Manhwa Cafe</em>. Minhyuk could imagine himself going to a manhwa cafe on a dull day off with a few 10,000 won bills in his pocket and ordering food while reading his favorite novel, <em>The Male Lead Only Eats.</em>


    These days, manhwa cafes served delicate and exquisite dishes that could already be considered restaurants. They could make well-cooked ramyeon and chapagetti and even serve chicken mayo rice bowls with cold and refreshing c on the side.


    Minhyuk imagined himself with a book in one hand and his chopsticks in the other as he ate the dish non-stop.


    Hiyaaa


    <em>Gulp</em>


    Minhyuk gulped down the saliva that almost dripped down his chin. Just the thought alone made him look forward to it. Then, he said, I will go to the Land of the Gods. Please summon me there.


    ***


    God of Dungeons Bentley was a god that held a considerable influence among the gods. Bentley noticed that many gods were dissatisfied when they heard that the <em>Food God </em>became the<em> Battle Gods Descendant</em>. Feeling the same way, Bentley decided to rally the gods and protest.


    However, as for the reason why Bentley was so against this? It was primarily because of the words left behind by the most outstanding God of Dungeons, Evas. The previous generation of gods would often leave behind words and stories for their sessors. And Bentley had heard about the Food God from his predecessor.


    <em>The most useless and weak god in the world.</em>


    Bentley heard that Evas trampled on and mocked the useless God Ravier in front of many other gods. It did not matter if Ravier''s actions after that were outstanding. What mattered the most was that he was nothing but a trivial god that could only be trampled under Evas''s feet.


    Yet someone who sat in such a useless position became the <em>Battle Gods Descendant? </em>This could not be. So, Bentley decided to drive the man to his death. And, of course, he seeded in doing so.


    The Food God will challenge Argalis Dungeon.


    These words alone brought together many of the gods. Of course, the other gods had also heard about the Food God.


    The current Food God is said to be far superior than the previous generations of Food Gods. His might and prowess are said to be quite excellent.


    He has killed one of the Six Monster Gods.


    Of course, that was with the help of the Spear God and the Fallen Wretched Emperor.


    In the past, Minhyuk hadpletely trampled and smashed the Incarnation of Fire at the Banquet of the Gods. That point alone was enough for the other gods to acknowledge his power.


    However, Bentley said, A lot of gods at the level of the Spear God had challenged Argalis Dungeon. But what became of them?


    Many challenged Argalis, but none of them came out alive.


    Who is stronger between the Food God and the Spear God? Anyone who asked this question would know the answer, no?


    The answer that all of the gods would say was most definitely the <em>Spear God.</em>


    The stories that spread in the Land of the Gods were told exactly as they happened. They heard that the Food God had killed one of the Six Monster Gods with the help of many people. It was true that he was strong. However, the fact that the others around him had contributed significantly to that feat was undeniable. As a result, they all assumed that he had no chance of sessfully attacking the Argalis Dungeon, a ce where even the Spear God-level gods could not escape alive.


    The gods hurriedly ran to where Argalis Dungeon was. The ce had not been visited or opened for a very long time, yet they were flocking in front of it after hearing that the Food God would challenge the dungeon. And when they arrived there, they were greeted by a fantastic sight.


    The Food God was picking the mushrooms growing around Argalis Dungeon''s entrance.


    Kghhk! I bet these mushrooms would taste good if you cook them in a mushroom hotpot!


    And he was even sporting a bright and pure smile, too. The gods were frozen stiff when they saw the man discard his dignity and majesty as a god. He did not even showcase any of the pride and ego of a god as he crouched down on the side of the road and dug the mushrooms out.


    Minhyuk, who finished digging up the mushrooms, continued to pick up and harvest whatever edible ingredient he found around him.


    Hiyaaa. This would taste good in a sprout bibimbap!


    The gods shook their heads as they watched him shout in admiration after harvesting the ingredients from the ground.


    <em>This is the Battle Gods Descendant?</em>


    However, no one was as flustered as Bentley was as of this moment.


    Bentley had now reced Evas and had taken over the management of the Argalis Dungeon. So, among everyone present, he was the most knowledgeable about the Argalis Dungeon. He even had information about the dungeon that he could not reveal to anyone. He was only qualified to hear that information since he was in charge of the dungeon.


    Bentley was fully aware of the restrictions of the Argalis Dungeon. <em>Once you enter the dungeon, all potions, parchments, and other special items will be unavable.</em>


    However, certain items utterly different from those mentioned above were allowed inside. These items were none other than the mushrooms, sprouts, and greens that Minhyuk was harvesting right over there. Those ingredients contained amazing healing and recovery abilities, and plenty of others.


    At that moment, Bentley thought, <em>He knows.</em>


    The guy over there must have known the power hidden within these ingredients.


    <em>It seems like hes much more unusual than I thought?!</em> Bentley grew cautious.


    <em>Fufu. I cant believe I could harvest many high-quality mushrooms and sprouts! Hehe</em>


    Meanwhile, Minhyuk was just happy that he could eat something delicious.
