Three Meals of a Reincarnator

Chapter 290: Chapter 290

"Use Veld? How can we trust that vermin from the Demonic Realm…?"

"Veld is the only one who can actively participate in the human world, isn't that right?"

"That's true… But in order to use him, not only do we have to give him our power, but we have to continue to supply him with additional magic energy."

"Then are you just going to let that human be after he betrayed us?"

"We can't give up."

"That's right."

"But…!"

They weighed the pros and cons.

They had to use Veld, but it was dangerous.

And it was possibly unnecessary.

Their opinions were divided, but it eventually unified into one as Veld expected.

The Dionysus Gods of Heaven valued neutrality, but when it came to judgment, they were thorough.

As a result, Veld was certain that they would trust him with the case, and his prediction was correct.

"I don't like this, but…"

"Since we have no other choice…"

"Tsk, what else can we do?"

The Dionysus Gods grumbled and began to agree with the blonde god.

From their stance, they had no other option than to use Veld to use the freedom of the Demonic Realm to their advantage.

In order to stay in their favor, Veld continued to slouch and stayed quiet while they came to their decision.

Veld put on a serious face, but on the inside, he was laughing.

When Min Sung Kang betrayed them after taking all of their experience points, he thought he no longer had hope in the Demonic Realm, but the Dionysus Gods' greed saved him.

Veld enjoyed his ambition with his head down.

Min Sung sat on the bench in his yard and enjoyed his Americano.

The refreshing flavor of caffeine always felt great.

While sipping on his coffee, he wondered what to have for dinner.

Picking what to eat was also a chore.

Since his level of satisfaction with certain foods depended on that day's mood, he had to be thoughtful when deciding what to eat.

And for some reason, he felt uneasy about letting Ho Sung Lee decide on the menu today.

He didn't want to eat seafood today, and he didn't really feel like Chinese food or Korean food either.

As a result, he couldn't really picture what it was that he wanted to eat.

'What would taste good today?'

'What's good?'

While Min Sung thought while looking at the sky, Ho Sung Lee appeared.

"May I sit?" Ho Sung Lee asked.

Min Sung glanced at Ho Sung Lee before nodding.

Since the bench was wide, there was plenty of room.

Ho Sung Lee paid his respects and sat down next to Min Sung.

"Sir."

"What?"

"About Repone, that red dragon."

"What about him?"

"Did you know he was a dragon when you first met him?" Ho Sung Lee asked as he turned his head toward Min Sung.

"No," answered Min Sung as he took another sip of his iced Americano.

"Then what gave you the idea to pick him as a subordinate?"

Min Sung raised his brow.

"Because it's bothersome. I knew he was one of the highest-ranking players in Beatrice, and I figured a guy like that would be useful."

Ho Sung Lee nodded while staring into the distance.

"I see. Phew, a dragon… Haha. I still can't believe it. I didn't even know they existed."

"Anyway, about today's dinner."

"Yes, Sir. Is there anything you'd prefer?"

"Soybean stew with lots of clams."

"Yes, Sir."

It was a sunny afternoon.

Min Sung listened to the sound of nature while enjoying his Americano.

He enjoyed the first peaceful day he had after returning from Beatrice.

***

"Snicker… Hahahaha!"

Upon returning to the Demonic Realm, Veld burst out into laughter.

He couldn't stop laughing.

"I can't hold back this power."

Veld scanned his own body with twinkling eyes.

His entire body was shining with a black light.

He had received power from the Dionysus Gods who invested experience points in Min Sung Kang.

The process of injecting power was a painful one, but he was still able to enjoy it.

As long as he could become stronger, he was able to endure any kind of pain, and as a result, he obtained great power.

He had to use that power to attack the human world, but the amount of power he possessed was more than that of a typical Dionysus God.

But as long as he was in the Demonic Realm, he was unable to use it.

And even if he was more powerful than a Dionysus God, in order to mess with them, he had to go against all the gods of Heaven, so it was useless.

On top of that, once he began to attack the human world, his power would naturally decline.

But if he managed to dominate the human world, Veld would become the owner of both the Demonic Realm and the human world.

In that case, he would become more powerful than the influence he had over Heaven.

That would give him authority in terms of politics, and if he obtained that power, the Dionysus Gods wouldn't be able to treat him carelessly.

He would have the power to pressure the Dionysus Gods.

"Those dumb gods… Snicker…! They gave me such a big opportunity just because of their greed for revenge!"

Veld intended on getting revenge for all the mistreatment he suffered over time from Heaven.

"Just you wait. I'll swallow all of you myself. Hahahahahaha!"

Veld burst into laughter and unleashed his magic energy.

He had no reason to wait.

He liked to enjoy the enormous power he obtained, but going after his objective was more important.

As soon as Veld began to launch his magic energy, dark power began to flow out of his hands.

That dark power created a dark circle in the middle of the air, and it became bigger as time passed.

As that dark circle grew bigger and bigger, the magic energy that swarmed around it grew rougher and swirled in a more violent manner.

Upon seeing that, Veld's eyes glowed with explosive lunacy.

He would swallow all of it.

Roarrrrrrrr!

The dark circle levitated upward and once it transformed into a black hole, it grew bigger as if it was going to swallow the Demonic Realm's sky whole.

As soon as the sky filled up with the power that he possessed.

He used his remaining power to spread it toward the human world as well.

Boommmmmmmmmm!

The dark sky of the Demonic Realm turned red, and a noise rang as if the world was being created again.

***

Kaboom!

Rumble, boom!

In the middle of preparing dinner, Ho Sung Lee looked out the window.

The thunder was so loud that he wondered if Min Sung had taken out his Gungnir S in his room, but it was coming from the sky.

The sky was filled with lightning, and it poured as if there was a hole in the sky.

"Why is it raining so hard?"

Ho Sung Lee then went back to focusing on his cooking.

Just a moment of distraction could ruin a dish, and this dish was very detail-oriented.

Even the slightest error in the spices would change the entire dish completely.

Ho Sung Lee tasted the soybean stew and felt a sense of relief.

It wasn't too late.

The flavor was just right.

He turned off the stove and put the side dishes on the table.

Once he moved the side dishes to the table and placed the soybean stew on top of the table, Ho Sung Lee ran over to Min Sung, who was watching TV on the sofa.

"Sir, it's ready."

Min Sung nodded and got up.

While Min Sung moved to the table in the kitchen, Ho Sung Lee immediately began to prepare Repone's food in case he would come running over.

And just as he expected…

"Roar."

He heard Repone coming from not very far away.

He had already prepared Repone's food while he prepared Min Sung's.

He got a head start just in case Repone would cause a scene again.

Ho Sung Lee lifted the pot containing Repone's food and waited at the entrance of the kitchen.

A moment later, he saw Repone flying over.

Ho Sung Lee placed the pot right at his feet.

Repone immediately slowed down and landed right in front of the pot.

"Roar."

Repone put his mouth into the pot and began eating.

He had prepared pork for Repone.

It was raw meat that wasn't marinated, but Repone ate the piece of pork in an instant as if it was delicious.

He then walked away from the kitchen with a full belly.

"Phew."

Ho Sung Lee wiped the sweat off his forehead.

He was worried he wouldn't like pork, so it was a relief.

He had to conduct a thorough analysis of Repone's food preferences.

He liked the pork now, but what if he got sick of it, and he had to deal with Repone when Min Sung wasn't home?

Gulp.

Just the thought of it made him afraid.

Ho Sung Lee sighed at the sight of Repone falling asleep in the middle of the living room.

And as soon as he turned around, he saw Min Sung picking up his spoon.

***

The clams were fragrant.

The savory clams, soybean stew tofu, and the green onions and peppers along with the rice tasted sweeter than anything else.

After eating some rice and broth, he took another bite of the rice and then tasted one of the side dishes only to be shocked by the charm.

It was unbelievably delicious.

He was certain that the charm of Korean food was everyday food like this one.

'This is really good.'

Min Sung then bit into the sausage wrapped in egg.

Kaboom!

That was when a thundering noise rang outside.

Min Sung chewed on his sausage and looked out the window.

Min Sung sensed something very familiar.
