Episode 502 Revive (5)
In fact dealing with multiple higher-level gods is not that easy.
That is to say the existence of a higher deity is a strong person who is treated as the ruler of a planet even among deities who have achieved the hierarchy of deities.
Dealing with not one but several high-ranking gods at once is quite difficult for the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman who have just been reborn as apostles.
‘Is it fortunate that I one of the ancient deities am an apostle deity to whom I personally bestowed power and thus belong to a higher level of divinity and soul than ordinary higher deities?’
Of course in my case thanks to being born with a natural talent that would inevitably lead to my being reborn as an ancient god I should have been able to deal with many higher-ranking gods since long ago…
‘Even taking that into account the probability that the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman will achieve a clean victory is not high.’
That’s just because they are born with a level of natural talent that is rare even in the entire universe and this does not apply to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman.
Unlike me who was certain to obtain the divinity <Death> and become an ancient god someday the two administrators showed no signs of being born with the talent for divinity itself.
Isn’t the fact that he couldn’t even become a formal deity even though he climbed more than 40 floors of the Tower of Trials in the first place be proof of that fact?
Therefore I was sure that regardless of whether it was the Iron Blood Lord or the White Crane Swordsman his talent or aptitude for divinity would definitely fall on the low side.
‘It is not the outcome such as victory or defeat that is important but essentially the process itself of confronting multiple higher gods and gaining enlightenment is the most important thing.’
The reason for choosing a slightly extreme growth method that pits you against multiple high-ranking gods and having them fight life-threatening battles was also directly related to the issue of talent and aptitude.
Even if you lack talent or aptitude there are things you will naturally learn as you face limitations at the crossroads between life and death.
For the two managers this is the fastest and most efficient way to become stronger without spending a lot of time.
Therefore I leaned my back against the wall of the huge stone chamber and quietly watched as several high-ranking gods and two administrators fought with all their might.
Whoa!
Before we knew it the higher-ranking deities ‘God of the Sea’ ‘God of Watershed’ ‘God of Painting’ ‘God of Refining’ and ‘God of the Other Side’ were launching an onslaught unilaterally pushing the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman.
[The sacred <Flood Sea> is activated consuming sacred power causing sea water to overflow that robs divine power and magical power.]
[The sacred <Watershed> is activated and the special properties ‘Swamp’ ‘Flow’ and ‘Pollution’ are granted to the surface within a certain range….]
[When the sacred <Fine> is activated a ‘fire mark’ is created on all creatures within a 150m radius and the amount of damage received by the target increases by 100%….]
[….]
Among the high-ranking gods every one of them activates the concept of divinity which is the basis of godhood and relentlessly pushes the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
In the blink of an eye a tsunami that drains the energy of divinity and mana overflows and not only does the floor of the stone chamber turn into a swamp but the two managers are also marked with a bright red flame.
The same applies to the god of smelting and the god behind the scenes.
By activating the sacred <Refining> the god of refinement strengthened the bow-shaped relic and attacked from a distance and the god of the other side who activated the sacred <refining> sneaked into the gap in space and made a surprise attack.
A joint attack performed by five people with combat abilities far exceeding the average among high-ranking gods.
The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman also immediately responded to the divine abilities.
Whi-profit-!
At that moment the Lord of Iron Blood wielded a frost-colored long sword a weapon created with the power ‘Sword of Iron Blood’ and used defensive swordsmanship as well as several powers to unleash his power.
Kuhuung-!
[The Lord of Iron Blood Canary Rugfeld groans at the tremendous amount of shock inflicted on her body.]
[ Ugh…!! ]
The Lord of Iron Blood spewed out blood from his mouth and was barely able to stop the attacks from all directions at least temporarily.
Whoosh───!
Did Baekhakgeomseon see this as an opportunity to counterattack?
Behind her Baekhakgeomseon who was in the posture of Baekgeomchichisik stepped on the air instead of the floor of the stone chamber and performed a dance at the speed of a beam of light.
I also learned the White Sword Seven Styles under the guidance of Baekhakgeomseon and have been practicing it for a long time.
Thanks to this it was possible to immediately recognize what kind of season was unfolding at the tip of the Baekhakgeomseon’s sword.
Baekgeomjeokgong (白劍摺空) and Baekgeomseomhae (白劍閃海).
After destroying the wide-area attacks of the sacred <Suhae> and the sacred <Watershed> through space with the first herbivorous white sword attack.
yet.
With the second herbivorous white sword she pinpointed the god of water and sea among the high-ranking gods standing in front of her occupied the space and made an attack that could not be avoided.
The attack which was carried out at overwhelming speeds far exceeding supersonic speed is not an attack that is easy for them to avoid.
Paaaaang—!!
As a result the god of floods had no choice but to be dragged along with space and hit by the white crane swordsman’s season but that did not lead to good news.
Knock-.
[Baek Hak-seon ‘Baek Seol-hwa’ is astonished with her eyes wide open at something unexpected.]
[What is this…!! ]
The god of floods and seas was shocked and in front of the divine armor wrapped around her body the words she used at speeds exceeding supersonic speed were helpless.
The only damage she inflicted on the God of Water and Sea was to leave a large crack in her divine armor.
Of course the God of Water and Sea also seemed to have raised the performance of the Divine Armor to its maximum hardness but isn’t it obvious which of the two causes more damage?
The God of Water and Sea clenched her fist and swung it sending the White Crane Swordsman flying far away.
Kwaaang-!
and….
[The god of floods narrows his eyebrows and mutters as if he is strangely surprised by the strange feeling.]
[ …As expected there’s something strange about these guys. For a subject where the status of divinity and the soul is strangely high the management is at a level that is truly pathetic. ]
As soon as the God of Water and the Sea threw her White Crane Swordsman into the distance with her punch she expressed her doubts and the higher gods standing around her also expressed their agreement.
[The basin god frowns and tilts her head.]
[ hmm! Definitely… come to think of it. Considering the status of divinity and soul it cannot be this weak. I barely use my divine abilities. ]
[The Chinese god feels uncomfortable and says it is strange for the same reason.]
[Is that all? Apostles gods and even higher-ranking gods act as if they can barely carry the status of divinity and soul into their attacks. ]
[The god of smelting narrows his eyes and offers a hypothesis.]
[ Hmm. Well it seems to me that those guys are closer to ‘can’t do it’ rather than ‘don’t do it’? Isn’t it too much to say that it was hidden with intention? ]
At this point even high-ranking gods could not help but notice that the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman were not high-ranking gods in their normal state.
[The god behind the scenes makes a loud roar and races through the two sides of space.]
[Kyahaha! That makes sense…!! Shall we check if it’s real? ]
Next moment.
Sigh-!
The god behind him let out an unpleasant sound of laughter and used his divine supernormal ability to enter the gap in space and sprint.
The Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman were also immediately prepared to respond and intercept but unfortunately the results were not very good.
Of course.
[Divine <Secret Strike> is activated and the strike after coming out of hiding is strengthened with divine power making it possible to penetrate protection.]
The god behind him escaped from the gap in space and succeeded in a surprise attack with the divine supernormal ability that contained the status of divinity and soul.
Ujijik-!
[The god behind narrows his eyes and gives an eerie smile.]
[ Puhaha! What? Are these guys really unable to stop this?…!! How pathetic!! ]
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Neither the Lord of Iron Blood nor the White Crane Swordsman were able to properly defend themselves and were beaten by the god behind them and thrown away.
Without even letting out a scream.
The higher-ranking gods who saw this ran forward with confidence not doubt thanks to the god behind them.
It’s as if he no longer even considers the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsmen as equal opponents who must be dealt with with caution.
That was actually the case.
[The God of Floods bursts into laughter as he senses that things will turn out easier than expected.]
[ Tsk tsk! The enemies are those who cannot properly handle not only the supernormal abilities of divinity but also the status of divinity and soul? Even if you want to lose it’s hard to lose!! ]
[The God of the Basin laughs and looks quite happy.]
[Hot! This is ridiculous…!! I thought he was a monster because he was said to be an apostle chosen by the ancient deity and lord of the universe… but I never thought he would be that weak…!! You’re lucky! ]
[The god of art laughs out loud as he feels all the tension and anxiety that had settled in his heart disappear.]
[ ha ha ha! also. Is there a way to survive even if you are cornered? I will personally kill those weaklings and make sure I get out of here alive…!! ]
As if there was nothing to worry about anymore the higher-ranking gods completely erased their guard and launched into an all-out war.
The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman also responded in time….
In the end the inability to fully handle the divine abilities proved to be a flaw and even the response was in vain.
While these higher-ranking deities are able to apply their divinity and soul status to their limits the two managers have difficulty operating their divinity and soul status and are unable to use their divine abilities well.
This side had to force them to reach the level of higher-level gods by making them apostles but in the end there was bound to be an overwhelming difference in skill compared to true high-level gods.
However despite this I was confident that those two had not yet reached their limit.
‘That’s because the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman haven’t shown all of their cards yet.’
Of course.
[The Lord of Iron Blood Canary Rugfeld grits her teeth and instantly increases the divine power within her body.]
[ …under. Annoying guys. I don’t know why they are suddenly talking amongst themselves and evaluating me as weak. The game isn’t over yet. ]
It’s no different….
[Baek Seol-hwa the white crane swordsman wipes the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth with one hand and gives off a cold look.]
[ …I agree. They haven’t actually killed us yet and won but they’re talking about it as if they’ve already won. It’s annoying. really. ]
Haven’t both of them yet used the ‘seer’ power they received from the Tower of Trials?
Even if the two managers did not have even the basic skills as high-ranking gods wouldn’t that result directly lead to defeat?
The story would be different if the pioneer’s unique supernormal abilities which are extra-standard powers that even the three ancient gods could not obtain were used in earnest.
Whoa!
Like now.
[The Law of Presence <Conquer> is activated and a special barrier is created with divine power within the specified range.]
[The special barrier built with divine power according to the law of prescience <Conquest> grants the property of ‘absolutely indestructibility’ to existing structures.]
[Due to the Law of Perception <Conquest> the divinity and mana consumption of allies within the special barrier are reduced by 30% and the divinity and mana of enemies are not naturally recovered.]
At that moment the law of perception <Conquer> was activated centering on the place where the Iron-Blooded Lord was standing and divine power resonated in all directions and a special barrier was overlaid like a film.
[The law of precognition <Adaptation> is activated making it possible to adapt to the damage received until the end of use and acquire resistance immunity and special abilities.]
Starting from that the White Crane Swordsman standing next to the Lord of Iron Blood also activated the Law of Perception <Adaptation> and a gray glow enveloped her body.
Goooo───!
That means only one thing.
‘in the end.’
It’s no different….
‘Is this about to begin?’
The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman.
The power of the ‘Pioneer’ that the two administrators obtained only after climbing past the 40th floor of the Tower of Trials during their lifetime.
The unique supernormal ability of the Law of Transcendental Enlightenment which had lost its value after facing death in the Tower of Trials was now revived once again in the hands of the two administrators who were revived by My Apostle Godhood and was trying to shine its true value.
