Chapter 26 A God Is Protecting Me
?<Host should hurry. The 30 seconds is about up!>
I know.
I went towards the 'little Piglet' that they called God and issued my second command.
"Become my minion."
The God just stared blankly at me.
. . .
. . .
". . ." It didn't work?
I thought that they would follow my every command for 30 seconds?
Could it be that a God couldn't be turned into a minion? 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m
". . ." That's disappointing. I thought.
I was about to turn back and execute plan B when a notification stopped me in my tracks.
<CONGRATULATIONS! You have acquired a minion GOD, Little Piggy!>
<Please Name your Minion>
I blinked.
In all honesty, my expectation was low of turning a God into a slave. And having been slapped on the face by reality that I could do it, I couldn't move.
<5 seconds for the effect of the Evil Perfume to wear off>
". . ." And I was still too stunned.
Two seconds before the effect of the Evil perfume was gone, I broke out from my stupefied state and stifled a laugh until my chuckles became a burst of full-blown laughter, shaking my shoulders and putting tears in my eyes.
This world was starting to get fun!
My smile couldn't be contained, and I was in an excellent mood as I thought of a name. Since the God was special, I gave it its original name, Little Piggy.
<+100 000 Evil Points rewarded to Host for successfully obtaining a minion GOD!>
<SSS Grade Token x1 rewarded to Host for acquiring a minion GOD!>
I nodded in satisfaction and checked its stats.

My jaw dropped.
No wonder it was called a God.
Its ATP was insurmountable!
Though its skill was rather vogue and lacking.
System, do you know what this Mana Core Evolution is?
<To summarize it, if Little Piggy eats the Mana Core of a Jackalope, it could transform into a Jackalope and acquire its ATP if it's higher than his as well as its list of spells and skills>
Hmm . . . I see . . .
As of now, no beast nor monster could top Little Piggy's ATP. So that spell was useless at this point in time.
What's more, its high mana cost and short duration were troubling.
<Not only that, your relationship with Little Piggy is only 10% since you used underhanded tactics to force it to become your minion, which is a good thing. But it might not follow your orders>
". . ."
My hope was falling into despair once again.
This was why I didn't like to hope. The disappointment that came along with it was heartbreaking.
<Look at it on the dark side. Even if it doesn't follow your orders, it also couldn't do anything against you since you're his master. And if you die, he'd die as well.>
That at least put my mind at ease. Knowing that it would protect me if my life were in danger.
"W-what . . . what happened?"
My eyes went to the villagers, who were now regaining their minds. The smell of the perfume was gone, and it was disappointing to see that the [Evil Perfume] was no longer available in the [Evil System Shop].
<The items in the Evil System Shop could only be bought one time only>
You could have told me that sooner so I could plan ahead.
<Host didn't ask>
I don't know if you really wanted me to live or die.
Make up your damn mind.
<Of course, the system wanted the Host to live and become the Evil Overlord, the greatest villain there is!>
"You! What have you done to us?"
I stifled a laugh. "Does your toes hurt from dancing?"
"You little!"
One of the villagers was about to attack when I raised a hand and stopped him with my warning.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Little Piggy became my minion now."
Little Piggy shook its head before clarity went back to its eyes. It looked down at me and roared.
"You! What have you done?! A mere mortal! This can't be! How did this happen!"
"I'm your master now, so deal with it," I said without a care.
"That can't be! This must be a trick!" Little Piggy shook its head, anger burning from its round, squinting eyes. It raised its leg and stomped down in my direction.
BaAaAmM!
A gust of wind raged from the impact, together with specks of dust and debris. A large hallow formed on the ground, and the villagers' faces brightened with creepy smiles on their faces.
However, their smiles dropped when they saw that I was unharmed. There was a transparent barrier protecting me from Little Piggy's attack.
I sighed in relief as the ungrateful God took a step back.
"It . . . it can't be . . . ," the God said with a shaking voice and horrid face. When it finally sank that I indeed became its master, it sunk its fat face into the loving embrace of its little paws before wallowing and crying in self-despair in a childlike voice.
"A god like me . . . became a mortal's pet? How humiliating can this be?"
I rolled my eyes and faced the villagers with a tilted head. "Are you still going to kill me?"
Contrary to my expectation, the villagers didn't seem scared at all. They even snickered and puffed an arrogant air.
"Even if that useless God turned into your pet, it couldn't kill us. That chain couldn't be broken by a God, much less you. As long as it remained on its neck, it's nothing more than an oversize pig," the village mayor said with a sneer.
And the villagers seconded with mocking laughters.
"Rather, now that the God became a useless minion. We just have to kill you, and it would finally die. AND maybe we could roast it to dinner."
"Its fatty meat will surely make our tummy full in days to come! We can even store it when the apocalyptic event happens!"
My eyebrow rose. Apocalyptic . . . event?
The others laughed while the village mayor nodded. "What a waste. Too bad that it would no longer become the God of Euclid Village but just another giant pig to butcher. Truly a waste."
Little Piggy shot to his four paws and growled, "What did you say?!"
