31 Flirting with a God

Sebastian low-key told him to get lost, but even then, Eugene, the fierce rookie, didn't jump down the platform as if he didn't mind getting on his nerves.

He had taken the test before anyone else for a purpose. Yes, it wasn't without a reason that he went first. He wasn't going anywhere without realizing it.

He gazed at the crowd of humans down below like a majestic warrior with no limitations as he said, "As I have shown you, with one hit, you can make it produce up to five noises. That means you don't need to limit yourself to just ten points. Try to aim for 50. The more force you use to beat the drum, the more noises it will produce. The higher the number of sounds you make it generate with an attack, the more miracle points you'll earn. Do you get it?"

The hidden information about this test that the black-hearted Sebastian had kept a secret from the participants, Eugene, without hesitation, revealed it to them like a Giga Chad that knows not how to fear a demon.

"Yes, we do."

"Thanks for helping us out."

He won the crowd's favor.

Even better than that, there was a high chance that he had created a great variable that would affect the future in ways beneficial to him and his kind.

While many were happy with what he did, some weren't.

Sebastian's scorching gaze landed on his back.

"Do you want me to push you off the stage, or will you get down there on your own?"

He threatened the man, who was in no mood to lose his legs to a demon.

"No, thank you," Eugene showed the demon a pleasant smile. "I'll choose the latter."

Fearing that the demon would drill holes in his back with his gaze if he stuck around for too long, Eugene stepped to the edge of the raised platform.

"I don't have the strength to tussle a chicken. How will I make this metallic drum release a sound with these hands? I have no hope of passing this test."

A young white twink who was but skin and bones expressed his thoughts out loud.

The crowd's rising momentum started to dwindle because of his words.

"Even if you don't believe you can do it, use your entire body's strength to hit it; the closer to its center, the better. You'll regret it in the future if you don't give your best in this test. I'm certain the classes and skills we obtain from this place will determine our status in the place we are to go."

After saying that, Eugene took one more step ahead and fell down the platform. He landed in the center of the crowd with ease. Then, he walked through them to sit down cross-legged in a lifeless corner. Whether he had uplifted their spirit or not was of no concern to him. He had already done what he could for them.

[The 'Inferno-Hands Divine Princess' is arguing with the 'Twin-Headed Demon With a Short Temper']

"God of Ogre, it had been minutes since the Human Boy had slain your disgrace, yet you've still not rewarded him ten miracle points. Why?"

"I did ask my treasurer if we have so many miracle points in our Treasury. Do you know what he said? He replied to me with a shake of his head and a stingy gaze that made me feel ashamed. I and my Archangels have been starving for the past seven days and nights because we don't have enough MP to eat and live. How do you expect me to give ten to him when I don't have any?"

There was such intense grief in God of Ogre's voice that anyone listening to it would believe that he was suffering from poverty and starvation if they didn't know that Gods didn't necessarily have to eat to remain alive and that he was one of the richest bitches out there in the cosmos.

[The shamelessness of the 'Twin-Headed Demon With a Short Temper' has rendered many Gods speechless]

[The eyes of the 'Inferno-Hands Divine Princess' are twitching]

"You must be intending to go back on the promise you made to the mortal?! Is that it?!!"

[The Inferno-Hands Divine Princess has accused her colleague of committing a major crime that can temporarily ban him from interacting with the people in the tower and the test zone]

"Go back on my words? How dare you accuse me of such a heinous crime! I might be a monster in your eyes, but I'm a full-fledged God! I would never do something so underhanded against a mere mortal! I understand! Because you lack a few too many brain cells, You have clearly misunderstood me. I did say I will give the mortal ten miracle points for killing the disgrace of my race, but I didn't say when exactly, did I? It could be today. It could be tomorrow. And it could be an eon later. That's up to me to decide. Do keep your nose out of my business."

[The 'Twin-Headed Demon With a Short Temper' refuted her claims calmly]

[The 'Inferno-Hands Divine Princess' laughs like a maniac]

"You dare bark up the wrong tree, but how about you try to bite it too?"

[The 'Twin-Headed Demon With a Short Temper' feels threatened by her gaze]

"No thanks. The last time I fought you, even my mother failed to recognize me. I only have so many teeth. I don't want to lose them to you.

"And yes, you'll waste your time if you come to teach me a lesson. I've long closed the doors to my kingdom in fear of you. Hahaha!"

"You're as shameless as your thick skin!"

[The Argument between the Gods has ended]

Eugene knew that there were many stingy Gods in the universe of the crumbling world, but he didn't expect to meet the greatest and the most shameless among them so soon.

He, a mere human, had earned a 100 before even stepping into the tower. A god would surely have a million or so times more than that. What did ten points even mean to a God? Obviously, nothing! Yet, the God of Ogre threw away all his shame so that he won't need to give Eugene that.

Tch!

Eugene clicked his tongue.

I haven't met a bastard. I have come across their God!

His mood soured.

[The 'Inferno-Hands Divine Princess' express her wish to become your Patron]

[Would you like to answer her call?]

His spirits lifted up after these notifications rang in his mind.

"Yes."

Eugene immediately agreed to answer her call.

[You've established a temporary telepathic connection with the Inferno-Hands Divine Princess]

"I will get straight to the point." The gentle and soul calming voice of a female rang in his mind. "If you accept me as your patron, I promise to heal your hand and reward you a 100 Miracle Points. You need them, don't you?"

She seemed desperate to become his Patron, so Eugene thought she was interested in him.

According to the setting of the crumbling world, some Gods lived somewhat of a boring life.

In their long, unending lives, watching the struggles, trials, and tribulations of mortals that end up in the tower was a way for them to entertain themselves.

However, one must know that gods and higher beings can only freely spectate and communicate with newcomers when they are in a white room on the Void ring.

Unless they become a person's Patreon, they can't communicate with them in the tower, much less spectate their lives.

"I may or may not agree to become your source of entertainment after you answer three of my questions."

A player can at most only have three Gods as his Patron. That was the rule of the tower. So, he needed to consider his choices carefully.

"Go on. Ask."

"Why me?"

"You've piqued my interest. Did you think I would say that? The God of Death has been spectating you as if you are an interesting object and thinks you can go very high up in the tower. I want to see how far you'll go with a bit of my support."

"Are you beautiful?"

Eugene asked his second question.

"There is no one in the cosmos that can rival my beauty. I'm as bright as a sea of stars, as graceful as the setting sun, and as magnificent as the moon."

The unknown years old Princess praised herself like a narcissistic guy.

"Now, tell me, What's the third and last question you want to ask me?"

"Do you have ample assets to entice me?"

"Yes, I have Mountains of gold and miracle coins in my Treasury."

Eugene's question had double meanings, and she clearly misunderstood him.

"I didn't ask about your wealth. I am talking about the size of your bust. I'm not interested in having you as my patron if you don't at least have C-cups."

"Mine's D-cups!"

Eugene suddenly laughed eerily, creeping out the people around him.

[Newcomer Eugene has accepted the Inferno-Hands Divine Princess as his first Patron]

After hearing that she was not only beautiful but also had big breasts, Eugene wasted no time taking her in as his patron.

"Wait! Did you just flirt with me, a God?!"

"You just realized that?"

Eugene guessed that she was not bright, and her IQ was below average.

"You're a really daring human. But I must say, I like your guts."

[You've received the blessing of the God of Face-slapping]

[You've recovered from all your injuries]

[A vast amount of energy has filled your mental energy storage]

[Your mental energy has recovered to the maximum amount]

[The Inferno-Hands Divine Princess has granted you 100 miracle points.]

Eugene's total miracle points have increased to 200!
