486. Wall (4)
Silence.
A cold silence flows.
Emotions filled with astonishment, doubt, and fear are expressed everywhere.
‘…How on earth should I do this?’
It was not only the mortals who participated in the selection test of the Gray Magic Tower, but also the God of Honor.
Daldaldal-.
The God of Honor fell into a cold sweat and fell into a deep sleep at the view seen through the mirror from the top floor of the Gray Magic Tower.
‘…I had no idea that such an ancient deity outside the standard would come to this unremarkable dimension with its power hidden!!’
It was worth it.
In the huge library on the lowest floor, where the selection tests for the Gray Magic Tower were held, there stood an ancient deity of a level that was rare even in the entire universe.
I was able to instinctively realize that this was a being that had achieved power close to the highest level among ancient gods, unlike a being that had just entered the realm of a higher level of godhood, such as a god of honor.
Kuuuk-.
‘It’s like…’
The God of Honor instinctively clenched both hands into fists in fear, anxiety, and embarrassment, recalling an ancient deity he had seen hundreds of years ago.
‘Yes… Isn’t it a hierarchy of divinity that can be compared to that of that time…’
The past.
The God of Glory was self-absorbed by the fact that he had surpassed the formal deity and had become a higher deity.
At that time, anyone who glanced at her would fall to their knees, and even the formal deities living on the continent would behave obediently to her.
He felt as if everything in the world revolved around him, and he was intoxicated with the power he had achieved, becoming arrogant and irreverent.
…Until one day, the owner of all demons comes from the other side of the universe.
━Hmm. God of honor. I heard that it didn’t take long for him to become a genius among geniuses and a high-ranking god, so I wanted to see for myself who he was… but it fell short of my expectations.
Demon God.
The lord of the universe, known as one of the three ancient deities, was not only different from the higher deities or formal deities, but also different from the ancient deities belonging to the same level on the surface.
Even though he only stood in front of the Demon God once, the God of Honor felt pressure and fear as if he would burst to death with a single gesture of his hand, and without anyone ordering him to do so, he fell on his knees and begged for his life.
━Isn’t it even entertainment? I came here for no reason. I feel like a fool for expecting a good match with someone like you… It’s so exciting that it makes me feel worse.
Luckily, the Demon God realized that the God of Honor was weaker than she thought and lost interest and returned, but that incident was remembered as the worst humiliation for her.
‘…I’m sure I’m angry. It’s the same as it was back then.’
So I was confident.
‘…an ancient deity. It is something special even among monsters that have immortalized the concept. It can be considered to be on the same level as the three ancient gods and lords of the universe.’
In fact, the black-haired man who participated in the selection test for the Gray Magic Tower was an extra-standard monster with power equivalent to that of the three ancient gods.
‘What should I do?’
However, there was no time given to think about how to deal with a non-standard monster that was presumed to have the same level of power as the three ancient gods.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
Suddenly, an extremely ferocious divinity and spirit that could devour the gray magic tower whole flowed out from below.
━I should have said clearly, right?
Beyond the mirror made of divinity, an extra-standard being with power equivalent to that of the three ancient gods reveals mild anger.
━I’ll give you just 10 seconds.
It is literally nothing more than really mild anger.
If I were to be honest, should I say that it is an emotion closer to irritation than anger?
Since it is a trivial and shallow anger, there is no need to worry too much.
━I won’t wait any longer.
However, if the subject emitting that light anger is a being with power equivalent to the three ancient gods, the story is greatly different.
━It’s the last time.
That’s because a monster outside the standard can easily destroy a planet without leaving a trace just by venting its anger.
━Come out right away.
Is that why?
Pot-!
In the blink of an eye, the God of Honor stood up, opened the gap in space, and moved to the place where the selection test was being conducted.
Kuhuung-!
As the green divine power filled the space and the God of Honor appeared, selection test participants everywhere showed all kinds of reactions.
“What! What is that! How can such a powerful force exist in this world? “Who the hell are you?”
“Ha ha ha ha ha…!! oh. Oh my god…!! I can’t believe it…!! Could it be that the God of Glory has descended directly?!”
“What is that… God of Honor? Are you saying that she is the greatest god on this continent?”
Various emotions including awe, adoration, shock and fear poured out from all directions.
obviously.
Even if it is impossible to compare them with the ancient deities who transformed into the concept of divinity and became immortal, aren’t higher deities also beings with strength of a different order?
It is extremely rare for a higher godhead, who is worthy of reigning as the ruler of a planet, to descend on an apostle or to fully reveal himself in his original form rather than as an incarnation.
For that reason, those who could not achieve the hierarchy of divinity were all distracted by its strength and expressed feelings close to faith.
However…
[The God of Glory is terrified and breaks into a cold sweat.]
[….]
This is only a story that applies to mortals who have not achieved the hierarchy of divinity.
The God of Honor, standing in front of the Ancient Goddess who had reached the same level as the three Ancient Gods, was worried, even forgetting to breathe in the face of the fear of death more vividly than ever before.
How can we send out monsters outside the standard from this planet without offending the lord of the universe?
‘…I have to persuade you. Please get out of here. Of course, it is necessary to survive and only then do believers not lose their faith.’
In the first place, the Gray Magic Tower was a temple to serve the God of Honor before it was a power of wizards.
Currently, the God of Honor gathers talented people in the Gray Magic Tower to pray and gain faith, and exerts influence through carefully selected official or prospective apostles.
However, if the God of Honor within the Gray Magic Tower showed disgrace, there was a high possibility that there would be a setback in gathering faith from believers as easily as now.
I couldn’t kneel down and beg for the author’s life like I did with the demon god last time.
‘…If you beg for your life pitifully in front of everyone, you can no longer expect to gain faith from believers.’
At the very least, there was a need to induce the author to talk to her alone.
Because it would be best to quietly persuade the author and send him back where no one is watching.
As the God of Honor tried to feign calmness while suppressing the fear rising from deep within his heart, the other person spoke first.
“You are the God of Honor, right?”
[ …That’s right. That’s right. ]
“Would you like to repeat what you said to me earlier?”
[ …Ah, what you said earlier? I don’t really know what you’re talking about─. ]
Pisik-.
“Did you forget? you. You said that if I didn’t leave here, you would make me regret something, right? “Tell me that again now.”
[ …. ]
“I’m curious. What would I have done if I didn’t want to come back from here? say it.”
[ That…. ]
And….
Trap, plod!
The moment when the God of Honor is faced with a crossroads between life and death and desperately tries to come up with a plausible excuse to answer.
widely-!
Suddenly, Tekal stepped forward and showed clear hostility with a cold expression.
“you. What a scum. “How dare you say something to the God of Honor right now?”
[ ? ]
“under! A bug can die with just one gesture…!! Can’t you understand my topic? There is a level of foolishness. “You definitely cross the line.”
[ …. ]
Embarrassingly.
“How dare you ask the God of Honor to say the same thing again? Where is this miserable unbeliever talking nonsense? “This bug-like thing.”
Tekal spewed out malicious remarks without even a chance for the God of Honor to stop him, with a sneer on his lips.
“under! Even if the God of Honor didn’t like you and wanted to punish you, what’s the problem? “It’s a waste.”
[ …. ]
The God of Honor pursed his lips, at a loss for words, and Tekal continued his hostile words and actions.
“Do you think you can do anything? On the topic of trash. Even that strange talent is nothing more than a candle in front of the sun compared to me, who was chosen by the God of Honor. “There is nothing like you.”
[ …ah? Te Tekal? Why are you doing this? You can stay still. This level of rudeness is nothing to me—]
The God of Honor belatedly noticed the seriousness of the situation and stopped Tekal’s rampage, but it was already far too late.
“Ah… no, God of Glory. That bastard needs some education. “Shouldn’t we trample to death bugs that don’t even know what’s going on?”
Swish-.
“Don’t worry. God of glory. I will deal with that bastard at my own discretion. “Isn’t that my job as an official apostle?”
Tekal began to raise his divine and magical powers with a confident and arrogant smile on his face.
‘Ah…’
After seeing that, the God of Honor was at a loss for words and clearly felt one thing.
‘It’s the end…’
This means that there is no longer any way to persuade an ancient deity other than those standards without being humiliated in front of everyone.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo—.
[Level 3 Apostle ‘Tekal’ shows his clear killing intent and is confident of his overwhelming victory.]
[Surprising!! Now come here you lowly bastard…!! Let me tell you the meaning of being an official chosen by the God of Honor!! A genius among geniuses! I! I will make you realize that there is a sky outside the sky!! ]
And….
“…I don’t really have anything to say about this.”
Next moment.
[The god of transcendence and death is embarrassed by the ridiculous second-class apostle.]
[ …you. Are you saying that because you really think that way? ]
God of transcendence and death.
A person who has achieved a hierarchy of divinity comparable to the three ancient gods.
Han Seong-yoon said this with a very strange expression as if he was dumbfounded.
