– Volume 6, Chapter 22
147. Outside. Battlefield of the Gods (3)
I could tell that he was a very weak man by the force and energy he could feel.
Compared to the labyrinth, it was at the level of an adventurer on the 20th floor, and Taesan was completely lacking.
‘Is the level outside this low?’
At the sight of Taesan’s eyes, Malakas momentarily showed a look of sadness, but kept his mouth shut as if he did not want to die.
Taesan rested his chin.
“Who is the god you believe in?”
“He is the sun god born in the sky. He is the great one who presides over the lofty skies.”
“We are the gods of the sea, born of the earth. He is the only god who defies his destiny and rules the sea.”
“It’s like Harmon.”
All of them had modifiers attached to them. It was different from the god of the labyrinth.
Taesan looked away.
“Who do you believe in?”
“…I believe in the god of green vegetation.”
“okay. Green.”
Taesan put a hand on the man’s head. The man looked up at Taesan with a worried face.
“Tell me honestly. What level are you and those guys at?”
The man glanced at the red and blue. At that gaze, Taesan smiled.
“Who should you be afraid of?”
The man came to his senses at Taesan’s answer and said,
“It is the bottom. We are the three weakest groups. Even one of the strongest here can take us all down.”
“okay. I guess so. If it’s only at this level, it doesn’t make sense.”
If so, he wouldn’t even have to come down. Even if an ordinary adventurer from the 30th floor came down, it would be possible to organize everything.
It meant that Bargan had the strength to search for people diligently.
Malakas’s face turned red at the green horse. Finally, unable to hold back the heat, he shouted harshly.
“No more insults allowed!”
“What if I can’t allow it?”
“We risk our lives! I will knock you down!”
The man drew his sword and raised it with a bang.
So did the people behind them. They cast their ugly eyes at Taesan.
“You villain!”
“I will not forgive you!”
“Annoying.”
Taesan frowned.
Not only the red armor, but also the blue armor rushed at Taesan as if this was an opportunity.
Taesan waved his hand.
[You activated Frost Arrow.]
Damn it.
Fragments of ice are drawn in the air. They pierce armor with a sharp sound.
“Aagh!”
“Aaaagh!”
They raised their shields and swung their swords to stop them, but to no avail. The shield was pierced and the sword shattered.
They stepped on the corpse and approached Taesan. Taesan pulled his arm. The sword drew a curve and all who approached were cut and fell.
Defense, attack, and self-sacrifice were all trampled on by overwhelming power. Malakas
exclaimed in denial.
“This is nonsense!”
In his own world, he was a very strong man.
The great warrior of the sun god born in the sky, he had power that even the king of a country could not treat him carelessly.
However, on the battlefield of the gods, he was a very weak being. It was difficult to overcome those who worshiped other gods, and they were repeatedly defeated and had only the smallest piece of land.
Still, he did not lose his pride
.
He believed that he lost his land because those who believed in him and followed him were weak.
It wasn’t actually a lie. He wasn’t that weak here. It had an average level of strength.
i am not weak
It’s not my fault.
However, that shoddy mental victory was now being shattered.
“Haaaap!”
Kwajik.
His sword splits at a light gesture. With one last look at him that gave him no value, he lost consciousness.
Taesan calmly wiped his hands. Everyone who ran into him was down.
[You have eliminated all followers of the sun god born in the sky. The sun god born in the sky was kicked out of the battlefield of the gods.]
［You have eliminated all followers of the sea god born in the earth. The sea god born from the earth was banished from the battlefield of the gods.]
Taishan looked up at the sky.
Two thick and strong auras were sucked into the rift in the sky.
That’s probably the power of God.
[The gods of the labyrinth are satisfied with your achievements. Depending on the performance,
a reasonable reward is given when returning to the labyrinth.]
“Is it the end even if I kill all the followers?”
His goal is to conquer the battlefield. It seemed that it could be satisfied by simply defeating all of them without any special conditions.
But that may not be all. Taesan walked over to the green color that was lying in a daze.
“I want to ask you the rest de”
“…something.”
The green voice was weak
. He said with a look as if he had put everything down.
“What are you curious about?”
The sun god born in the sky and the sea god born in the earth are at the bottom here, but the violence of numbers could not be ignored. If they worked together, even the followers of the middle ranks could not touch it.
I didn’t allow such a single attack and killed them all in one blow.
It’s a monster.
‘Perhaps even to the one who sits at the top…
he is irresistible. Green gave up on surviving. It was impossible to do anything now as he had survived alone in the first place.
“I will answer if you return me to the side of God obediently.”
“It will, so tell me. I couldn’t hear them all because they rushed in earlier. Is there a difference in level between you guys?”
“there is. See the huge pillar at the far right in the sky?”
Taesan looked away. There was a single
black pillar that could be seen from a distance like a green horse .
“There is a passage through which the gods can communicate or exercise power. The closer you get to them, the stronger the groups.”
“This is the bottom right.”
The place where Mount Tai is now was the furthest away from the pillar.
“What are the conditions for driving out the gods and conquering this place?”
“…not many. Just like you did now, just kill all the believers or break the stone statues.”
“A stone statue?”
“In each god’s realm, there is a stone statue modeled after the god. If you break it, the god is banished and the followers lose the god.”
“It eats the ground.”
The rules were simpler than I thought. Kill them all or break the statues.
It seemed that the conditions for success in Taishan’s quest would end when all the stone statues of the gods were destroyed.
Taesan stroked his chin.
“Tell me what you know about the gods here.”
Green revealed everything about giving up.
what gods are there where they are
“The next god is the god of self-proving.”
“okay. He is a god who succeeded in proving himself and ascended to godhood. The believers are also
very proud of him.”
“It’s similar.”
Taesan laughed.
The god of proof nestled in the labyrinth. It was a god who was in charge of a realm very similar to Pabsha.
A method came into my mind.
Taesan nodded.
“good. I know everything you want to know.”
“Then…
the green closed its eyes.
Taesan swung his sword.
[You have killed the last follower of the Blue Vegetation God. The god of blue vegetation was kicked out of the battlefield of the gods.]
[The gods of the labyrinth are satisfied with your performance. Depending on the performance, a reasonable reward is given when returning to the labyrinth.]
One more energy escapes through the crack in the sky.
Taesan happens.
[Go right away?]
“I don’t want to stay here for a long time.”
All artificial world. A battlefield created by the gods.
It was unpleasant.
“But I don’t think I can get away with it right away.”
Taesan moved. As I moved towards the pillar, I felt a huge energy.
A spirit that seems to show off oneself.
It seemed that this place was the realm of the self-proving god.
[It’s easy. Just break the stone statue
. Could it be over quickly?]
“No.”
Taesan shook his head.
“It won’t end like that.”
[yes? what more to do To kill them all’?]
“I have no intention of doing that. Just do something more.”
[Why?]
“For more.”
Taesan said quietly.
“Didn’t I say that the gods give rewards according to performance
? I thought of it when I heard that it was a self-proving god.”
So, the gods can be satisfied as much as possible.
I intended to do it in such a way that they would be happy and give me more than the originally supposed reward.
Taishan has arrived in front of the realm of the self-proving god.
There was a fairly large mansion. The outer wall surrounding the building was very long, and the door was large enough for a giant to pass through. The building seen over the outer wall was also decorated to the fullest and splendid.
“Be fancy too.”
Taishan flicked his fingers against the door decorated with all sorts of jewels.
Kwaaang!
With a great noise, the door shattered and flew toward the building.
Fragments of the smashed door become lodged in the building. It makes a gurrung sound and makes an anxious sound.
Taesan walks.
It wasn’t long before a lot of people came running in a hurry.
“It’s an intruder! Gather everyone!”
They scream and run at Tae-san. Taesan waved his hand without stopping.
The armor is crushed by a light gesture, and the head snaps when the fingers are snapped. When I lightly kick it, it flies far away and crashes into a building.
“this person!”
Realizing that they can’t stop it, they shout.
“Go and bring the Holy Son! We cannot stop it!”
A few enter the building while others continue to
try to block Taesan.
Taesan broke them all and took one step at a time.
When he was almost at the entrance of the building, a well-dressed man appeared.
strong. At least, he was a stronger man than anyone who had been beaten by Taesan.
“Are you a saint?”
“Yes.”
The saint gazed at Mount Tai with sunken eyes.
“Who are you?”
“If I told you that I came from the labyrinth, would you know?”
“A labyrinth?”
The man’s eyes fluttered.
“Looks like you know.”
[I think he represents the god of self-proving, but he must have talked about it.]
“Then it’s easier to talk about it.”
Taishan went to the saint. The saint came to his senses and raised his mace and cross shield.
“Even so!”
The saint charges with his shield. The swinging mace contained the power to break down the outer walls and break the waves.
Taesan stretched out his hand.
snap.
Mace was caught in Taesan’s hand.
“this person!”
The saint’s eyes shook. The captured mace did not fall out. It didn’t even move like a sword stuck in a bar.
“Is it because it’s right above the bottom? It makes no
difference.”
Taesan made fun of his fist.
The cross shield was crushed and the saint fell to the ground.
“See you later.”
Taesan passed the fainting man.
[Don’t kill me?]
the ghost asked in a puzzled tone. Taishan hadn’t killed a single follower of the self-proving god.
“I told you. You will get more.”
[You trigger a backlash.]
“Whoa!”
The believers were blown out like air bursting.
At this level, it was possible to deal with all of the repulsion without any special skills.
As I removed it and moved to a place where I felt the power, there was a huge stone statue there.
It was a stone statue like an ancient Greek statue. Divine energy was felt
from the stone statue of a man with long hair like a woman’s .
“You mean we can break this?”
Taesan tapped as if knocking on a stone statue. Protected by the divine, it was quite hard, but it was not at a level that could not be suppressed with force.
“You, you!”
Seongja, probably waking up late, came running to me with a gasp.
“stop! stop! You will be punished!”
“why me’?”
Taesan shrugged.
“I came here as your gods wished. So I am doing my job. But why am I being punished?”
The saint stuttered at Taesan’s words. He is the saint of the self-proving god. I had heard from God about the conflict between the Labyrinth and the gods outside. That’s why I knew why Taesan had come down to the battlefield.
“If you have to be punished, wouldn’t it be you? You didn’t protect God, did you? And didn’t you come prepared for this in the first place?”
This is the battlefield of the gods. It is a place where individual believers kill each other and die.
Taesan was just doing what he had to do on the battlefield.
Taesan put his hand on the stone statue. Before I knew it, the approaching believers burst into screams.
“But I will give you a chance.”
Taesan removed his hand.
The saint asked with trembling eyes.
“…opportunity?”
“Your god is a god of self-proving? A chance to show it.”
Level up with skill
