Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 723: Hehehe. I can get married now too!

Chairman Park, where are you, nya?!!!

Where did you go and leave me behind, nya?!

Unable to move his body, Theo screamed Sejun’s name with all his might in his heart.

But...

No matter how long he waited, Sejun’s answer never came.

Chairman Park, respond, nya!

I need Chairman Park, nya!

Theo kept calling out to Sejun.

Believing that someday, his voice would reach him.

Then—

[<Authority: Ultimate Sejun Tracker> is activating.]

A message appeared before Theo.

Theo’s determination to reach Sejun had begun to interfere with the timeline of this frozen world.

Puhuhut.

As expected of the Great Hybrid Chairman Park, nya!

I knew it, he gave me this authority for a reason, nya!

Chairman Park, wait for me, nya!

Your right-hand man, Vice Chairman Theo, will definitely find you, nya!

Admiring Sejun’s foresight (?), Theo burned with resolve to track him down.

However—

[Beginning search for Park Sejun.]

[At current output, the time required to search all worlds is 1,500,922 years.]

Nya?!

The search area was too vast, and it would take an unimaginably long time to locate Sejun.

But—puhuhut.

If output is lacking, I’ll just boost it with money, nya!

Theo knew an easy way to raise the output.

He burned all the treasures he had stored in his subspace warehouse, brought from .

Then—

[Search output has greatly increased.]

[At current output, time required to search all worlds: 30,071 years.]

The time reduced by nearly 1/50.

But even that was still too long.

Nya?!

Still not enough, nya?!

Then I’ll burn Chairman Park’s money too, nya!

Theo casually incinerated all the treasures in Sejun’s subspace warehouse—even though Sejun couldn’t open it himself.

Fwoosh.

Theo burned so much money that the frozen timeline, influenced by his power, began to tremble slightly, and a faint golden light shimmered around his front paw.

[Search output has drastically increased.]

[At current output, time required to search all worlds: 1 year.]

At the same time, the search time decreased dramatically.

Puhuhut.

Burning Chairman Park’s money feels so satisfying, nya!

It’s also the most efficient, nya!

Delighted by the tactile pleasure of incinerating Sejun’s wealth, Theo grinned.

But still—one year is way too long, nya!

I can’t wait a whole year for Chairman Park’s lap, nya!

The result was still unsatisfactory.

Then I’ll burn Aileen noona’s money too, nya!

He raided Aileen’s treasure stash as well.

Don’t ask how.

The thoughts and actions of a fanatic defy normal understanding.

When ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) it came to Sejun, nothing was impossible for Theo.

He simply did what needed to be done.

For Theo, it was all perfectly natural.

Fwoosh.

As Theo burned the wealth Aileen had carefully accumulated over time—all for Sejun—his front paw shone even brighter.

Crackle.

And Theo overcame <Primordial God’s Authority (Replica): Time Stop>, which Sejun had activated, and was able to move freely.

To resist the authority of the Primordial God...

Even great dragons and gods couldn’t do that—but Theo did.

It was truly inexplicable.

Then—

[Park Sejun has been found.]

[Park Sejun is currently in the Land of Destruction.]

A message confirming Sejun’s location appeared.

Puhuhut.

Chairman Park, just hold on a bit longer, nya!

I, Vice Chairman Theo, am coming to save you, nya!

“Iona, wake up, nya!”

Pat.

“Kyut?!”

“Kkamang, wake up, nya!”

Thwack!

“Squeak?!”

“Bat-Bat, wake up, nya!”

Pat.

(Bat-Bat?)

“Queng, wake up, nya!”

Pat.

(Queng?)

Now able to move his body again, Theo used his front paw to awaken Iona and the others.

“Flamy, wake up too, nya! Chairman Park is stranded in the Land of Destruction, nya!”

Finally, he touched the emergency leaf Flamy had given him with his paw, waking her to deliver the news.

Then—

“Listen up, everyone, nya! We have to go rescue Chairman Park, who’s stranded in the Land of Destruction, nya!”

He quickly informed the group of the situation.

“Kyut-kyut-kyut. Sejun-nim is all alone there?! That’s way too dangerous!”

Queng! Queng!

[Dad is in danger, da yo! Queng will go save Dad right now, da yo!]

(Bat-Bat! I’ll try to find a route to the Land of Destruction!)

Graah! Squeak! Squeak!

[Waaah! Caretaker! No! Don’t die!]

Thus, united in purpose, Theo and the group set off to find Sejun.

But finding a way to the Land of Destruction wasn’t easy.

For starters, the Temple of the Creator God was surrounded by unstable dimensional zones, making travel with Bat-Bat’s powers or Iona’s dimensional magic extremely risky. And the Land of Destruction itself was entirely cut off—reachable only via waypoint.

“Then there’s only one place left, nya!”

“Kyut. We’ll have to go through the Black Moon.”

The Black Moon—gateway of disaster, and also a portal connected to the Land of Destruction.

Queng!

[Let’s hurry, da yo!]

(Bat-Bat! I’ll create a dimensional gate in front of the Black Moon!)

Graah! Squeak!

[Waaah! Caretaker! Don’t die!]

Through the portal Bat-Bat created, Theo and the group arrived at the Black Moon.

Queng!

[Queng will open it, da yo!]

Rumble...

To unleash full power, Queng expanded his body to its maximum size.

His massive form exceeded 500 meters.

Just like when Corruption had opened the Black Moon from the Land of Destruction, Queng thrust his gigantic forelimb between the gates—

Queeeeeng!

—and began to pull.

Creeeaaak.

The Black Moon slowly creaked open, revealing its pitch-black interior.

It was so dark that nothing could be seen—

But—

“Nya! I feel Chairman Park’s presence, nya!”

As soon as Theo sensed Sejun’s aura—

Swoosh.

—he launched himself into the darkness using his “Nyang-Nyang Step,” without a moment’s hesitation.

***

Land of Destruction.

“Actually... I thought it would be nice if it were just the two of us here, Sejun...”

Meeting Corruption, Sejun finally learned the reason he had been stranded here for ten years.

“I kind of figured. But then, why has my authority been active this whole time? It’s like the entire Land of Destruction is outside the worldline.”

“That’s because... during the process of manifesting my will, it collided with your authority, Sejun...”

According to Corruption, the clash had occurred as her will was forming, triggering <Primordial God’s Authority (Replica): Time Stop>, which was part of the Primordial God’s plan.

Upon encountering Corruption, the authority had activated automatically.

And thus, the entire Land of Destruction had been pulled outside of the worldline.

“I kept trying... but I couldn’t undo it. Sejun... I’m sorry...”

Corruption apologized in a deeply remorseful voice.

“It’s okay. Theo will come to save us.”

Theo would come, no matter what.

Just as Theo had absolute trust in Sejun, Sejun also believed in him wholeheartedly.

“But still, it’d be nice if we could get out of here first, so let’s keep practicing. For starters, you need to get used to your new name. I’ll start calling you Taecho now.”

“Okay! But... Sejun, I’m hungry.”

“All right, let’s eat something first.”

Sejun brought Taecho back to his house and fed her peanuts.

Then—

“Taecho, let’s try again!”

“Okay! In the name of... the Primordial God! Return everything to normal!”

Every day, Taecho practiced calling her unfamiliar name to strengthen her will.

...

“Why isn’t it working...?”

Failing hundreds of times again today, Taecho’s confidence sank to the floor.

“It’s okay. I’m sure you’re getting better.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay! I’ll try again with more energy!”

Sejun comforted her and restored her confidence.

Then—

“...Huh?!”

Sejun suddenly looked up toward the air, sensing a familiar presence.

This aura... Theo?! ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

It was definitely Theo’s aura.

“Taecho, don’t you feel anything over there?”

“Huh? I don’t feel anything.”

Taecho shook her tiny snake head in response.

“Really?”

Was it just a hallucination because I missed Theo so much?

Sejun tilted his head slightly.

“By the name of the Primordial God! Return to the original state!”

He quietly watched as Taecho continued her training.

Days passed.

And yet—he was certain. That was Theo’s aura.

And it was growing stronger by the day.

Watching that place for several hours had become part of Sejun’s daily routine lately.

...But are the others doing okay?

Time is frozen, so they must be fine, right?

“...Ah. What if I’m the only one who ends up an old man like this?”

Kkamang would definitely tease him about being an old ocean sunfish.

I cannot allow myself to be teased by Kkamang!

A chain of worries followed one after another.

But Sejun’s greatest concern was...

If I become a hunched old man, will Aileen still marry me?

It was Aileen.

Even now, he felt like he was far from her level—but if he turned into an old man...

Kuhihihi.

How dare a white-haired old geezer like Park Sejun think of marrying the great Black Dragon Aileen Frittani?!

Kuaaaa!

“No way!”

Just as Sejun imagined himself being incinerated bald by an enraged Aileen’s breath—

Whooom.

A ripple tore through space in midair.

“Nya?! Chairman Park, what’s going on, nya?!”

Who dares trouble our Chairman Park, nya?!

Theo dashed forward and hurled himself toward Sejun.

“Uh... uh?! Vice Chairman! It’s Vice Chairman Theo!”

Catching him in his arms, Sejun shouted joyfully.

“It’s really Vice Chairman Theo! It’s Theo!”

He shook Theo in his arms, crying out in joy.

“Puhuhut. That’s right, nya! It’s me, nya! The right-hand of the great Hybrid Chairman Park—Vice Chairman Theo, nya!”

Theo wore a smug expression at Sejun’s welcome.

“I really, really missed you, Vice Chairman!”

“Puhuhut. Me too, nya!”

After basking in Sejun’s affection for a bit—

“Chairman Park, let’s get out of here now, nya!”

Theo tried to lead Sejun out.

“Ah, wait! There are others I need to take with me. Dongdong! Nangnang! Mangmang!”

Sejun quickly called the Children of Creation.

Then—

“Taecho, you’re coming too, right?”

When he turned to ask Taecho—

“M-Me too?!”

Can I... go with them?

No one except Sejun liked her.

Taecho was flustered.

Afraid.

Afraid she might get hurt again.

But I hate being alone even more!

I’ll go with Sejun!

The thought of being left alone in the Land of Destruction was more terrifying.

As Taecho made her decision—

Queng!

[Dad, are you okay, da yo?!]

(Bat-Bat! Sejun-nim, are you all right?!)

Kihihit. Squeak!

[Heehee! Caretaker, you’re safe!]

Queng, Bat-Bat, and Kkamang appeared along the path Theo had carved by defeating the beasts of Destruction.

There was a reason it took Theo so long to reach Sejun.

Iona had stayed with Flamy, who arrived late due to distance, and both waited in front of the Black Moon as backup in case of emergency.

“Puhuhut.”

Kuhehehe.

(Bat-Bat.)

Kihihit.

As Theo, Queng, Bat-Bat, and Kkamang all embraced Sejun—

“S-Sejun, I... I want to be your child too!”

Taecho squeezed out the courage to speak with a trembling voice.

She had envied Queng, who called Sejun “Dad.”

“Child?”

At Taecho’s words, Sejun looked a little flustered.

Not because the number of children would increase.

He already had more than enough children to count.

One more wouldn’t hurt.

But...

Is it really okay for me to do that?

Taecho was the Primordial God, after all.

And what if Aileen gets mad?

There were other things to consider.

But... why not?

Seeing Taecho’s face fall in disappointment—

“Of course you can! Call me Dad from now on!”

Queng was also a beast of Destruction.

What difference did being a god make?

And Aileen... she’d understand.

Sejun’s heart softened, and he gave in instantly.

“Then you’re my daughter now. Your name is Park Taecho.”

“Park. Tae. Cho.”

That’s my name.

Taecho mouthed the name, syllable by syllable.

Bashishi.

Her lips gently curled into a smile.

Saying just “Taecho” had always felt off, but with one character added in front, it felt completely different.

I’m Taecho.

Park Taecho!

And at that very moment, as Taecho embraced her new name—

Crackle.

The snake shell encasing her cracked open—

Flash!

And from the cracks, a brilliant light burst forth.

Srrrk.

As she shed her skin, Taecho revealed herself in the form of a 3-year-old girl.

“D... Dad...”

She called out shyly to Sejun.

“Yes, my daughter.”

Sejun held Taecho’s hand and stepped out of the Land of Destruction with his companions.

Then—

[You have returned within the bounds of the worldline.]

[Time across all worlds is beginning to move once more.]

A welcome message from [System Eoksamchiri] appeared before Sejun.

[You have achieved the Supreme Achievement of helping the Primordial God reclaim her True Name.]

...

..

.

[As a reward for the Supreme Achievement, 6.5123% of the 0th Floor entry cost has been reduced.]

[You have now reached 100% cost coverage for 0th Floor entry.]

[You can now visit the 0th Floor without any fee.]

At the same time, a massive flood of achievement messages poured in before Sejun.

Of course, none of it changed the fact that he was still an ocean sunfish at heart.

“Hehehe.”

But Sejun didn’t care anymore.

“Everyone, let’s hurry home! Aileen’s birthday party is on Earth!”

He was thinking only of meeting Aileen on Earth.

Hehehe.

Now I can finally get married!

A mischievous grin spread across Sejun’s face at the thought of holding Aileen’s hand.

“Nya?! Chairman Park, your face is rotting, nya!”

“Kyut-kyut-kyut! Sejun-nim, stop having those thoughts!”

Queng!

[Dad’s making a naughty face, da yo! Make a nice face quick, da yo!]

(Bat-Bat! Sejun-nim, that was seriously dangerous just now!)

Kihihit. Squeak!

[Heehee! In times like this, you just stomp him!]

“Heehee! Sounds fun! But who are you calling the youngest?!”

Theo, Iona, Queng, Bat-Bat, Kkamang, and Taecho all stepped on Sejun’s face as they returned to the 99th Floor of the Black Tower.

It wasn’t the kind of return you’d expect after saving the world—but for the Sejun family, it was just right.

And then—

“Hehehe. This is great.”

Having accomplished an immense feat—preserving world peace—Sejun happily basked in the small joys with his companions and prepared for his return to Earth.

In the highest of spirits.
