Guess What God I Am

This moment!

Lake finally understood what it meant for pain and pleasure to coexist.

In the truest sense.

Lake felt like his head was about to explode. By the twentieth golden chest, he had involuntarily closed his eyes, but the constantly flashing golden light still gave him the impression that he was about to be blinded.

And the incessant dinging sounds.

Before, Lake thought the dinging sound was the most beautiful sound in the world, of course, besides the cries of Emilia, Rachel, and Seifer.

But now?

Lake felt that the dinging sound was simply the most unpleasant sound in the world. It was like the sound of someone hammering metal right next to your ear while you were trying to sleep.

With no other choice.

Lake sat in his study chair, gripping the armrests tightly. He tried to keep his breathing as steady as possible, attempting to shift his focus.

Cancel, cancel, I’m not drawing anymore.

Although Lake shouted this countless times in his heart, the gacha system remained unmoved. In fact, it seemed to be speeding up, as if eager to finish the draws and proceed to an upgrade.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

One after another, ordinary, unremarkable, mysterious, and unpredictable prizes were revealed.

After an unknown amount of time.

Perhaps an instant, perhaps an eternity.

When Lake felt the golden light finally disappear, even though the dinging sound of hammering still echoed in his ears like an auditory hallucination, the phantom sounds and sights quickly subsided thanks to his immortal body.

[Gacha Draw Complete. System entering upgrade period. Estimated time: (Greater than 24 hours)]

"Phew!"

"Finally."

Lake exhaled a breath of stale air. To be honest, he had felt excitement, nervousness, and anticipation during previous draws, but this feeling of relief was a first.

Indeed.

Just as every goddess has a man behind her, every gacha draw has a man who’s drawn until he’s sick of it.

Lake shook his head. With his right hand, which was still trembling, he picked up the Bourbon that had been untouched beside him and downed the entire glass in one go.

As the fine liquor went down, Lake was instantly drunk.

The effects of the alcohol.

And…

Among the one thousand four hundred and forty-seven treasures, there were hundreds of items emitting the brilliant golden light unique to S-class items.

Lake’s mind stirred.

Clang!

[God’s Battle Robe: No level requirement, Unique, Cosmic Legendary class. This resplendent robe is a symbol of an Overgod, and also symbolizes the divine authority of that god. (Requires divine power. PS: When you feel you are not yet qualified to wear this robe, trust your intuition, otherwise, you will be crushed by the aura of the God’s Battle Robe.)]

Amazing!

Lake looked at the resplendent and sacred battle robe that appeared before his eyes. Just a glance revealed the sky, the ocean, and the underworld intersecting, accompanied by rolling thunder. His eyes practically sparkled.

Damn it.

A massive haul.

I knew it. Gacha draws always only yield the best items on the first and last try. Everything in between is just filler.

A profit, a profit.

First, the immortal body, then the seeds that could take root and sprout his own divine power with time, and now this God’s Battle Robe.

Good.

Now all that’s missing are a Divine Kingdom and a Divine Spark to complete the set.

Lake stored the God’s Battle Robe in the gacha treasure vault. Just as the PS note indicated, the moment Lake had the thought of taking out the robe, his sixth sense exploded like a volcanic eruption.

Clearly.

If Lake were to take out the robe right now, it would instantly lead to his demise, a death that would cycle through life and death repeatedly…

So.

Lake’s gaze fell upon the remaining items, searching intently for anything that looked like a Divine Kingdom or a Divine Spark.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.

Are these two items not in the gacha treasure vault?

Lake stroked his chin, muttering to himself.

A god.

What defines a god?

Divine Spark, divine power, Divine Kingdom.

Three in one, united as one, none of the three can be missing.

Especially since this is the Western universe, not a social environment like the Xianxia universe where one’s fate is determined by oneself and not by heaven.

Divine power and Divine Kingdom are complementary; the stronger the Divine Kingdom, the greater the divine power.

As for the Divine Spark?

If you were to compare the Western universe to a game, then gods would be like individual servers. If you want to enter this server, you need a pass. Only then will you have the qualification and authority to enter this god’s exclusive server.

Those with only divine power or a Divine Kingdom can only be called false gods.

Lake shook his head.

If I don’t have it, I don’t have it.

The lottery system is just upgrading, not missing. As I said, starting from scratch versus starting as a rich second-generation are two different concepts.

In the beginning, Lake felt like he was starting from scratch with the lottery. But once the lottery system restarted, hehe, it felt like a pay-to-win game for the rich second generation.

If you’re so capable, don’t come to pay-to-win lottery! Come and pay with your life, and I won’t flinch!

At worst, I’ll conquer hell, beat Mephisto until he calls me daddy, and then I’ll stay in hell and draw hundreds of times. After that, I’ll have Mephisto respectfully escort me out of hell.

Next.

Lake put away his fantasy of kicking Mephisto in the hell dimension and pinching Odin, the king of the Aesir, and directly reached for a shimmering golden object beside him.

Crack!

As the golden light dissipated, an endless thunderclap erupted!

[Lightning: Unranked, Law-type, Infinite-series. Can be applied to the Divine Kingdom. When you are strong enough, when you are in a good mood, the sky will be bright and clear. When you are angry, the sky will be overcast with thunder and lightning. (PS: It is currently just a seed and will grow with you. This is divine authority, Lightning Divine Authority!)]

Good heavens!

Is this asking me to steal Thor’s job?

…Wait.

That’s not right.

He’s read as Thor, but in reality, he’s written as Hammer God, okay?

Lake blinked, and with a whoosh, he floated in the air. When he retracted his right hand, a wisp of lightning, so weak it looked like it could be blown away by a gentle breeze, was in his hand.

This thing…

Swallow it?

A thought crossed Lake’s mind, and with a whoosh, the lightning flew out of his hand.

Buzz!

Lake instantly closed his eyes.

The next second.

The moment Lake opened his eyes, it was as if electricity was born from the void. His eyes, which were originally the deep blue of the sea, seemed to hide the thunder of the nine heavens within their azure depths.

Heaven cannot be deceived!

Lake looked at himself in the vanity mirror in his hand and touched it.

He seemed to have become a bit more handsome.

But…

I already have a perfect score of 101 for looks. Adding a few more points won’t make a difference.

Lake shook his head.

"Ahem!"

"…"

Lake looked up at Skye, who had appeared at the study door with her arms crossed: "How long have you been standing there?"

Skye smiled and shrugged: "Not long. From when you snatched my mirror, to me chasing you to the study door, it’s been about ten minutes."

This damn captivating aura of mine.

Lake closed his eyes internally, got up, and handed the mirror back to Skye: "Girls, don’t focus too much on your appearance. Technology is very advanced now. The most important thing for girls is to cultivate their temperament. As for looks, they can be changed anytime according to your temperament, you know."

After saying that.

After Lake had seriously educated Skye on the simple principle that cultivating temperament takes time while appearance only requires spending money, he pushed Skye, who was standing there with her mouth agape and looking bewildered, out of the study and closed the door again.

Ten minutes?

Is that for real?

I like this lightning.

Lake thought this in his heart and took out the third item again.

This time.

The golden light bloomed along with the other eleven golden lights.

Suddenly.

Lake seemed to hear a song in his ear.

Seiya!

Lake’s eyebrows twitched.

Boom!

The twelve golden lights instantly shot through the air on the lottery interface, accompanied by the impassioned backing music, revealing twelve magnificent golden chests carved with some kind of magical creature.

Could it be…

Lake’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something.

Oh my god.

Is this real or fake? Am I dreaming?

Lake directly opened the foremost chest, a magnificent golden one carved with a ram.

The next second.

Lake’s face fell.

MMP.

I knew it, how could I get so lucky consecutively.

[Zodiac - Aries Gold Cloth: S-class, Battle Robe type, Zodiac series. Note: This is not a finished Gold Cloth, but it contains enough materials for you to craft it: Orichalcum, Gamainen, Galactic Sand (PS: Includes blueprints. Perhaps it's time for you to find a dedicated blacksmith. Of course, you can refine it yourself using Cosmo power...)]

Lake’s forehead was covered in black lines.

He looked at the other eleven chests.

Without exception.

They were a set.

Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces…

The Zodiac, Gold Cloths, all collected at once.

But…

I don’t have any subordinates, why give me these?

Huh?

I have clones.

I wonder if I can operate them.

I’ll put them away first.

Lake waved his right hand, and the complete set of Zodiac Gold Cloths was stored in the lottery warehouse.

But…

Suddenly, twelve items were gone. In an instant, the number of "Golden Legends" decreased by twelve. Although there were still many left, but…

MMP.

It would have been better if I could have exchanged the Zodiac directly for a Divine Kingdom, even just a seed.

Next one.

[Boom!]
[Cosmo Cultivation Technique: SSR-class, Cultivation Method type, Holy series. This is a technique that can make you weak enough to shatter rocks, and strong enough to shatter stars (PS: It has miraculous effects when combined with The Force. Perhaps you can let others try it, after all, with so many constellations, you can't hog them all to yourself.)]

Trash.

Next one!

As the golden light bloomed, a cold voice with a hint of cuteness emanated from within the golden light.

"You will all die here!"

"…"
