_ Volume 16, Chapter 16
391. The 6th Return Earth (8)
“Because I am immortal.”
An existence that is clearly stronger than the present Mount Tai.
Taesan first observed the opponent. Running without any information was close to gambling.
But without a chance, the four hands of the apostle move.
At that moment, Taesan realized. That
a huge force is condensing around him .
Whoops!
Everything around collapses. The earth disappears and the atmosphere is erased. Absolute destruction that even space collapses covers Mount Tai.
Taishan could not avoid it and allowed the apostle to attack.
[Your first attack, absolute nullification has been activated.]
Taesan pulled back. He clicked his tongue and looked at the apostle.
” what?”
He was obviously wary of the apostle’s movements.
It was ready to respond to any attack.
However, he could not escape the apostle’s attack. I didn’t even think about avoiding it.
The four arms move again. Taesan took out a shield from his inventory.
[You used the Aegis shield. You become immune to all damage for 1 second, but you cannot move.]
At the same time, the power presses the mountain.
Aegis shield is completely immune to damage. There was no way the damage would come.
However, Taesan felt the pressure of the power of destruction crushing him.
Koo Goo Goo!
Matter is broken down into atoms. It was the power that could knock Taesan down with a single blow. After the duration of the shield expired, Taesan leaped into space with a limited blink.
“That’s ridiculous.”
It was destructive power like a monster. It was not even a trump card, but it was treated as if it were an ordinary attack.
[You have activated Focus Search.]
[You have activated Grasp Essence.]
[You have activated Recon.]
[Destroyer.]
There is only one piece of information that appears.
The people of India watching the battle howl.
“Oooh!”
“Lord Shiva! Please forgive
us !”
They fear the apostle and bow their heads. Their emotions flow towards the apostle.
“Shiba?”
Taesan looked at the apostle. blue skin. Four arms and a foreign smile.
It certainly resembled the look of a Si Bar I had seen on the Internet before.
I wondered if it was a simple coincidence or if there was a relationship, but it wasn’t immediately important.
The apostle’s arm moved. Taesan unleashed his divine power. He wrapped himself in golden power
and flung his body.
[You activated the perfect fairy wings.]
First try to evade. As the apostle’s arms moved prior to the attack, it was not difficult to figure out the attack conditions. Taesan’s body moved quickly through the air.
Damn it!
However, the apostle’s power aimed precisely at Taesan, who took an evasive maneuver.
Gold spread in an instant in the golden light that enveloped the whole body.
Divine power can be recovered infinitely on Earth, where direct faith is received, but the total amount that can be handled at one time was fixed.
If the opponent’s strength exceeded the total amount, even divine power could not stop it.
[You have activated a stack of magic.]
[You have activated a shield that protects the white rune.]
Unleash the stack of defensive magic. but still can’t stand it The power to destroy all things breaks through the defense and reaches Taesan.
[Your second attack absolute nullification has been activated.]
Until the second attack nullification is consumed.
However, I did get some rough information.
‘I can’t avoid it.’
I don’t know the principle, but the apostle’s power was precisely aiming at Mount Tai.
Rather than directing the power to Taesan, it was more of a direction that just happened that way. At least there was no way to avoid Taesan now.
And stopping the force of collapse was also useless. opponent is immortal. Apparently, it was impossible to defend as it was a high-class existence
.
how to respond Taishan quickly came to a conclusion.
It is smashed by force from the front.
The apostle’s four arms moved. Taesan drew strength.
[You have activated the call of destruction.]
The power of destruction pours out. They collide with the force of collapse that tried to trample Mount Tai.
Key profit!
But even the power of destruction cannot reach it. The thick and deep energy collapses and disappears.
Taesan gathered even more strength.
[You have activated the embers of disaster.]
[You have activated the light of the world.]
Light and flames burst out. Taishan also activated magic and black magic in succession. The space began to distort due to the collision of mighty forces.
Damn it!
The power of collapse cannot reach Taesan and it breaks apart.
The apostle was not wasting any effort on the attack. On the other hand, Taesan consumed a lot of mana and magic in the call of destruction with a cooldown, the embers of disaster, and the light of the world. If you fight like this, you have no choice but to be pushed in the end.
“I don’t want to write it already, but.”
[You have activated a partial world change.]
The laws of the world are changed. A world unfavorable to Sado and favorable to Taesan
begins to materialize.
The apostle joined the palms of his four hands.
Caught job!
The laws of the world have been twisted.
The world that had been overshadowed by the partial world change was twisted and distorted. Laws were colliding.
Apostle deals with the power of collapse again. Taesan raised Mana and Magi.
Whoops!
Power collided and covered the world.
* * *
“Ah!”
“Hey Taesan!”
Players from the three kingdoms pray fervently toward Mount Tai. The Russian players also hesitantly begin to pray after them.
But India was different.
They were praying to the apostle, not Mount Tai.
“Lord Shiva! please! please! Have mercy on us!”
“Please do not abandon us!”
They still believed in Hinduism.
And now, the figure of the apostle was very similar to that of Shiva, which has been handed down in mythology.
As a result, they began to believe that the apostle was the incarnation of Shiva. They say that the God of Destruction has come down to destroy them
.
As a result, they began to offer their faith toward the apostle in a frightened manner.
And the faith they gave was making the apostle stronger. Taesan, which created a parallel state through partial world change, began to move little by little.
Maria watched them silently.
A presence came to her.
[…God.]
[It’s a child bound in a labyrinth. What did you come for?]
The ghost made up his mind.
[Please help Taesan. Great God.]
[Hmm.]
A languid voice rang out. The ghost was very tense.
Asking for something without God’s permission? If it was a god with a bad temper, it wouldn’t be strange to destroy it right away.
But the ghost did not back down.
After looking at him for a moment, Maria murmured.
[Tell me. Why do you want to help him?]
[…Because he will be defeated.]
Taesan has won many battles that he thought he could not win.
But this time it was different.
[The opponent is an immortal.]
An immortal.
One who has completely transcended mortality.
Even Taesan now can reach immortality, but
it was a limited power with conditions attached. Although it was possible to hold on and face each other, the longer the battle, the more certain Taesan’s defeat became.
[He did win against an immortal, but that was only possible because the opponent was in a broken state with no reason or intellect. But this time it’s different.]
The apostle was in the position of a perfect immortal.
As much as he handled the power he had eaten, he might have deteriorated more than the immortal himself, but he was still an immortal. Mortals could not touch it with only the deteriorated power
.
Taishan will eventually be defeated by the apostle. It was an irreversible result.
[If it’s you, you’ll be able to help Taesan win. The fact that the apostle came down means that you were allowed to have that same influence.]
[I will not deny it. Do you actually do that? But why should I?]
Maria chuckled.
The ghost swallowed.
Gods
expect equal rewards from mortals who make wishes.
The ghost made up his mind.
[I will give myself.]
[That’s not a very attractive offer. You are of great value to me…]
[This is the literal meaning. I’ll give you my all.]
Maria stopped talking.
A voice rang quietly in the silence.
[You know what that means. Giving you away means that you will disappear.
None of your wishes come true.]
[I know.]
The ghost answered calmly. It was as if he had accepted everything and came to a conclusion.
After looking at the ghost for a moment, Maria murmured.
[That’s your choice.]
[Yes?]
[It’s a later story. Help him?]
[…Yes.]
[Sorry, but I refuse.]
[Yes?]
The ghost was taken aback.
[You wouldn’t want him to die either. No way…]
[You’re misunderstanding something. You don’t need my help.]
[But.]
[First of all, watch. Then you will know too.]
Maria said calmly. At Maria’s words full of certainty, the ghost didn’t say anything more.
* * *
“Ohhhh…
“Ahhh…
the people of India prayed for the apostle.
They were praying for the being who was trying to kill them to save them.
Only Hassan calmly assessed the situation.
‘What must I do to change this situation?’
He can’t get involved in the battle right in front of him. It was a battle beyond his cognition and comprehension.
I couldn’t stay still. Whatever it was, I had to find a way to change the situation.
After thinking and thinking, Hassan found a way.
A golden light enveloping the mountain.
Hassan didn’t know exactly what it was. It was a power too high for him to comprehend.
However, I could see that it was a power related to worship as faith.
worship and belief.
Hassan looked at the players of the Three Kingdoms. They were sending prayers to Mount Tai.
I couldn’t be sure. To gain strength by being worshiped. It was truly godlike
.
But there were plenty of possibilities.
Convinced that this was something he could do, Hassan quickly cleared his head and opened his mouth.
[Hassan roars.]
“Get your senses!”
A booming voice rang out. The people of India, who had been praying to the apostle, came to their senses in an instant.
Hassan exclaimed with a contorted face.
“That is not our god!”
“Ha but…
“I know! god of destruction. You look just like Shiva! But you saw them all!”
Hassan pointed a finger at the apostle.
“It changed shape over and over again! He is transforming into the image of the god we believe in and dazzling us!”
Hassan didn’t know if that was true.
He was simply preaching what he believed to be the truth. But that was enough. The fear that covered people’s faces slowly disappeared.
“That is trying to kill us! So there is someone else we have to believe in!”
Koo Goo Goo!
A roar erupts.
People’s eyes were focused on Taesan.
“He’s fighting for us! You guys are protecting us against the being you believed to be God Shiva!”
“Oh oh…
space twists and everything collapses
. Everything in sight was collapsing in the aftermath of the battle.
Among them, Taesan was fighting the apostle alone.
The power didn’t look human.
It was like a god.
Hassan said quietly.
“Gods that do not exist do not protect us. It is our real existence that protects us. Now you know who we should believe in.” No longer
did people look at the apostle .
All eyes were on Taesan.
Taesan, who was continuing the battle with the apostle, realized.
At some point, his faith in himself was growing stronger.
As he turned his gaze away from the apostle’s attack, several Indians
were offering prayers to him.
‘This.’
Faith was gradually amplified, and the realm beyond was getting closer and closer.
India’s faith was still weak. There were not too many people who prayed.
It was necessary to make their faith stronger, to make more people believe in him. The method was simple.
Kaaaang!
Defeat the power of collapse. The crack spreads like crazy in space.
The duration of the partial world change was almost over. Through the battles so far, he had fully grasped the apostle’s strength.
Now it was time to make the decisive move.
Taesan gave strength to his whole body. As the apostle’s hand moved, the force of collapse struck Mount Tai.
Taesan did not respond.
[Your third attack, Absolute Nullification has been activated.]
Time goes back.
And Taesan moved.
[You activated Beyond the Boundary.]
[You activated Bird of Unquenchable Flame.]
[You activated Force Amplification.]
The phoenix is implemented in the world. The flames of the whole body dominate the surroundings. The apostle moves his arms to deal with the power of collapse.
In the confrontation of power, Taesan activated another skill.
[You have activated Eternal Faith
.]
[You have activated Mental Burden Change.]
The case instantly surpasses mortality.
Taesan grabbed the sword and charged. The duration of eternal and immortal faith is very short. I had to finish it before then.
Spread divinity. A golden light covers everything in a collapsing world. People cry.
The apostle put your hands together like joining your palms together.
At the same time, an incomparable pressure hit Mount Tai.
That power is a force that cannot be helped by the existence inside the law that twists the concept itself.
However, Taesan rushed even harder.
The golden light of Mount Tai was covered with black to create gray.
Taesan swung a gray light as it was. The pressure was broken, and the road to the apostle was opened.
Taesan rushed at the apostle
and threw everything into his sword. The apostle swung his arms wildly.
The coo-gu-gu-gung….
A light as if the world was about to end enveloped the people. Maria’s barriers shook in an instant.
When everything calmed down and people’s eyesight returned, Mount Tai stood undisturbed.
But the only thing that was fine was the appearance.
[Your last chance has been activated.]
[To you ©曲!!! Damage.]
[Your resistance has been activated.]
Even though you blocked it with the last chance, your resistance was activated only in the aftermath. It happened because I forcibly dealt with an uncontrollable force with eternal and immortal faith.
The duration of the partial world change has ended.
It was the same with eternal and immortal faith.
Taesan looked at the apostle.
“I couldn’t kill you.”
The apostle did not fall. In the end
, I borrowed the power of the god of death and endured it.
Two of its four arms were blown off, and its lower body was also half destroyed, but it was still alive.
Taesan had no chance of winning.
But this was enough.
“Oh oh…
everything has sunk, and what people see is Mount Tai standing still and the apostle half-destroyed.
It was very dramatic.
The absolute one they believed to be the God of Destruction
was destroyed in half by Taesan. In an instant, people’s faith exploded.
It is the faith of over one billion lives.
The faith sent by all life on the continent that occupies a part of the vast world.
Faith so deep that it was visible with both eyes reached Taesan.
At the same time, Taishan’s rank surpassed that of mortality.
Until now, it reached a level that was only limited and imperfectly accessible. A qualitatively
different sensation hit the whole body.
It was a realm beyond mortality.
[Divine power proficiency has risen by 3%.]
[You have obtained [Immortality].]
Level up with skills.
