A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 1796

Chapter 1796: When Things Are Abnormal, Something Is Up!

Mag felt as though he was watching the countdown to the end of his life. The excruciating pain that came from within his soul made him want to end it all as soon as possible.

The sword was already in front of him. The moment it landed, everything would end.

Just then, a soft white glow suddenly landed on him.

…

Mag regained his senses and a little consciousness, as though someone poured a bucket of ice water over him.

After that, he saw that adorable figure in the bits of his soul fragments. Her kneeling by the bed, and holding his hand looking lonely, her smiling happily in a new dress, her smiling blissfully when she tried the food he made for the first time…

The landing sword suddenly stopped, and chopped off a few strands of hair.

I cannot die!

This time, I cannot die again!

The sword landed, and Mag clenched his fists tightly as he let out a deep growl.

The soul fragments started to regroup, and this painful process was even worse than being torn apart.

“Pause restart!”

“The host is undergoing an abnormal evolution…”

The two lines of small words flashed past Mag’s mind.

What Mag did not notice was that somewhere slightly further away, a naked young girl was looking at him curiously. Although she was within the thunder strike, the lightning did not hit her. Instead, it went around her, and formed a vacuum in a two-meter radius around her.

At this moment, the octopus monster was also enduring pain identical to Mag’s. It was in so much pain it could not bother to do anything to Mag.

Mag had no idea how long the process was. It felt like a century.

He saw his body, which had just regained the 10th-tier, being restructured within the lightning. It was no longer like a baptism. Instead, it was a rebirth after being completely crushed. The lightning engraved mysterious markings on his bones, and left marks on his muscles.

He watched as his soul got reconstructed after being torn apart, and the two separate sets of memories with a gap in between fused together to become a complete soul. A stable and invincible soul.

Mag opened his eyes. The lightning enveloping his body suddenly dispersed, revealing a vacant land.

Th-this is? Mag looked at his hands. His long and fair fingers looked rather similar to before. However, he knew very clearly how much horrifying power was hidden within this pair of normal-looking hands.

He had already felt what it was like to have 10th-tier strength, but his current strength was beyond the 10th-tier.

Meanwhile, the original Tian Du sword actually became smaller and sleeker. However, it was still a very heavy sword that a normal person could not wield.

On the handle of the sword was a silver lightning logo. When he held the sword in his hand, he could feel the connection with it through his soul.

It was as though it was also reborn in this thunder strike.

“Congratulations on successfully becoming a god!”

The system’s voice sounded. It was an unforgettable night that somehow became a great day.

“God?” Mag frowned in bewilderment.

“The 10th-tier is the upper limit in this world. Those who broke through this limit would naturally become a god. According to ancient records, you are the only person in the Norland Continent throughout 100,000 years to be successful in becoming a god,” the System replied.

Mag was deep in thought. It seemed becoming a god was just a breakthrough in levels. However, he quickly recalled something. “Does that mean that I’ve already completed your ultimate mission? Does that mean that you’ve completed your mission ahead of time?”

“I am the God of Cookery System! God of Cookery System, do you understand? I am here to help you become the God of Cookery, but you’ve become a god through the thunder strike. This is making it awkward for me, alright?

“How do you expect me to explain it to them? That I am even worse than a thunder strike? What about my pride? It took me so long to finally rejoin the group!”

The system howled with frustration.

“Er…” Mag raised his brow. He suddenly did not know how to comfort the system.

After the conversation, Mag quickly noticed the young lady not far away.

She was a very beautiful young lady who was floating above the ground silently, watching him.

Her small face was as exquisite as an angel’s. Her long, smooth golden hair was let down, and she had a pair of light green eyes. They were bright and clear like the reflection of a green leaf in the morning dew.

She was not wearing any clothes. The holy white light[1] landed on her fair skin, but it did not trigger any dirty thoughts in one’s mind.

The lightning also went around her.

The octopus monster was screeching within the thunder strike, and a beautiful and strange young lady like this one appeared within the thunder strike that had yet to end.

When things are abnormal, something is up!

Mag held the longsword, and the thunder roared. In the next instant, he appeared right in front of that young lady. With the roar of the thunder, he slashed his longsword right in the middle of her head.

The young lady opened her mouth slightly, looking at Mag in disbelief.

She had an innocent expression, just like a feeble little white rabbit.

However, Mag did not waver at all. He knew very well what kind of horrifying powers the Great Old Ones had.

“Host, she was the one who saved you.” The System’s voice suddenly sounded in Mag’s head.

Right before the longsword landed, it grazed past her. However, the sword projection was still strong enough to sever tens of tentacles.

“What?” Mag looked at the young lady in front of him. She appeared a little scared, but her gaze was still clean and clear. “System, who is she? What is she doing here? Why is she the one who saved me?”

“From the System’s observation, she came from this Great Old One. Extreme evilness gave birth to extreme kindness. It had been suppressed, but it seems that the thunder strike forced it out.

“Initially, you could not endure the thunder strike, and wanted to commit suicide. She was the one who helped you pull through the most dangerous stage,” the System explained quickly.

Mag recalled the most painful period and the sudden chill that helped him to regain some clarity. That was how he pulled through the most difficult period. So she was the one who saved him.

Mag lowered his head to look at the golden eggshell shattered on the ground in front of him. He suddenly recalled the golden egg that he saw within the octopus monster’s body during the previous thunder strike. It seemed like she came from this egg.

The lightning’s threat had already gradually subsided, and the lightning enveloping the sealed area also started to disappear.

The octopus monster’s aura had weakened significantly. However, it had still endured the horrifying thunder strike. The tentacles minced from the thunder strike recovered at a visible speed. The red eyes stared at Mag and that young lady.

The horrifying growl started again with apparent frustration. Tens of tentacles came wriggling towards them, and their first target was obviously the young lady.

That young lady inched closer to Mag. She looked at Mag with her clear and innocent eyes, as though asking him for help.

“System, can I kill it now?” Mag asked with a frown as he looked at the wriggling tentacles.

“You currently have the ability to cut it up rapidly. This is a very useful skill in food preparation. However, with its rate of recovery, you would tire yourself to death before you could kill it. However, as long as you did not die of exhaustion, it would not be able to kill you, either.”
