Some Vicegerents from middle-ranking G.o.ds were now glancing at Jaehwan. To them, 850 thousand spirit stones were worth much more than the Machina itself.

'He looks weak.'

'Vicegerent of a low-ranking G.o.d?'

'I'll take him on.'

Jaehwan then spoke again in a quiet and calm voice.

"2 million."

The entire crowd became silent. People couldn't even understand what the number meant. Vicegerents and the powerful ones now looked at Jaehwan silently. Even Reynold couldn't speak at the amazing amount.

-are you serious? 2 million spirit stones…

2 million wasn't just a number. It was amount that only top-ranking G.o.ds, or the 7 G.o.ds of could even thing of paying. It was the amount for a high-ranking G.o.d to be allowed to join the 7 G.o.ds of , to make it 8 G.o.ds.

The amount was enough to increase world power in such a way.

2 million spirit stones represented the power itself.

But now, Jaehwan just declared that he would pay that much to purchase only a [Part]. People in the auction house were shaking just by hearing the number of 2 million as they knew what the number meant. Even Myad was looking at Jaehwan suspiciously. Jaehwan thought as he looked at everyone who was looking at him, 'So, opening a creation doesn't mean that it's out of the .'

They were people who lived within the system before they created their worlds to become G.o.ds. It was obvious that they were still a part of the System. Reynold spoke.

-Okay! Do we have anymore? No? Th-then… Jaehwan has won the Machina of Daeus for 2 million spirit stones!

Jaehwan then walked up to the podium. As he was guided by Reynold, he took out the personal check that he got from Myad.

'But how can I use this? Can I just write down the number?'

He had never used a check before so he had no way of knowing. As Jaehwan became hesitant, someone from the crowd shouted, "This is nonsense! That fool can never pay 2 million spirit stones!"

It was Gerald, the Vicegerent of the middle-ranking G.o.d Belkain.

And that was the start.

"RIGHT! This can't be true!"

"We cannot accept this auction!"

"KILL HIM!!"

As Vicegerents and Followers of those middle-ranking G.o.ds charged in, Jaehwan smiled bitterly at them.

'So, it comes down to this.'

It was the beginning of the that would be recorded as one of the five incidents revolving around Jaehwan in history.
