_ Volume 19 Episode 13
463. Those who want to become gods on the 88th floor
(2)
The first thing Taesan felt when he set foot in a new world was the powerful wave of power.
Kuuuuuuu…
The world trembled at the clash of powers. Two gigantic beings were fighting against each other.
“It’s a piece of shit.”
On the other side of the planet, power surges
continued to take place.
If you reach the immortal level, it is possible to destroy the world alone.
He expected that he wouldn’t be in a good state since these two beings were in conflict, but this was worse than he expected.
The aftermath of the battle shook the earth and distorted the sky. As the waves of intense power covered the world, it seemed difficult for an ordinary life to live.
Taesan first hid his power. It suppresses the tension
and captures
the power so that it does not escape outside the body .
The first thing I wanted to do was to travel around the world and figure out what the situation was like.
Mount Tai sets his sights over the horizon.
Everything in the world comes into his field of vision.
‘It’s about the same size as Earth.’
However, the number of lives was very small. At most, it was a number that barely exceeded one billion.
Perhaps the immortals are involved in it.
And the presence of countless mortals could be felt in the distance of one continent.
They were divided into three groups.
Two groups facing each other.
And a group far away.
[You activate teleport.]
The space opens and the body leaps.
Taishan arrived on the other side of the continent.
In his field of vision,
he saw people dying and killing each other.
“Waaaaaa!”
“die!”
“For the Great Paragub!”
“For Kevoruak! Kill those unbelievers and offer their blood to Lord Keboruac!”
Dressed in blue and red armor, they brandished their weapons while shouting the names of those they served. Both eyes were filled with madness and faith.
[They seem to worship immortals.]
Hundreds of people were stepping on the corpses and killing each other.
They shouted while killing or dying.
“Everything is for Paragub!”
Faith in the immortal could be seen in that intense cry. The light of that faith was somehow heterogeneous.
‘Is it brainwashing?’
The battle was reaching its climax. Taesan crossed his arms and watched quietly.
“Hey!
Then someone called Taesan from the forest behind him.
“brother! It’s dangerous there! Come this way quickly!”
It was a little boy who had just turned fifteen who called him.
The boy desperately waved his hand at Taesan. After looking at the boy for a while, Taesan walked over to him. The boy hurriedly pulled Taesan.
“Did you freak out because you wanted to die? Why are you blankly watching fanatics fight?”
“It looked like fun.”
“Fun is bullshit. They are forcibly dragging us away.”
The boy grumbled and looked up and down the mountain.
“It’s an outfit I’ve never seen before… Are you from another province?”
“I came from a very far place.”
Taesan replied. The boy lowered his stance and whispered.
“Anyway, come this way. We have to get away quickly while those crazy bastards fight.”
The boy made his way through the woods.
The group of people waiting with anxious faces were delighted when they saw the boy.
“My Latin!”
“Where have you been! You were worried!”
“sorry. I brought him here because I was worried because this brother was watching the battle blindly.”
“..what?”
“It’s a face I haven’t seen before…
A woman’s face turned pale as she looked over Mount Tae for a while.
“If you are a minion of those guys,
“No. Are your clothes different? There is no way you can take off what you value more than your own life while calling it holy clothes.”
“Ah…
calm returned to the woman’s face. A man, apparently the leader of the group, lifted the load.
“Then it looks like everyone has gathered, so let’s move. We need to get as far away as possible while the fanatics kill each other.”
“yes.”
People stood up with hard faces. Taesan quietly joined the group.
‘Two immortals trying to become gods.’
understand the situation in the world Taesan quickly shook his head.
‘Two groups that worship the immortal.’
Those in blue and red armor.
They were fighting, howling names that felt immortal.
‘And a group trying to get away from them
.’
They hated those who fought and called them lunatics. It did not seem to worship the immortal.
“Damn them…
“How long do I have to wander around.”
Rather, he loathed and hated them. All sorts of sighs and laments came out.
“brother.”
A boy named Geratin approached Taesan with a curious face.
“But brother.”
“why.”
“Where is your brother from? I saw earlier that they didn’t even run away after seeing the fanatics. Are you trying to be on their side?”
“no. I don’t mean to.”
People’s eyes glanced at Taesan. It contained questions and boundaries.
Taesan shook her head for a moment and opened her mouth.
“I
used to live in a small town in the woods.”
“A village?”
People’s faces light up at those words.
“Where are you? Are there still villages that aren’t eaten by fanatics?”
“no. The reason I left the village was when the guys wearing that kind of armor came looking for me. I ran away because I thought something was strange.”
“Ah…
quick disappointment hovers over people’s faces.
Their reaction made Taesan realize one thing.
‘There are no decent towns or cities.’
Those who did not believe in the immortals all seemed to be wandering without a settlement. Summarizing the information obtained, Tae San continued his story.
“What are those guys doing?”
“You seem to have been in a really remote place. Seeing that you stayed until recently. That’s why you didn’t know.”
“So I can’t understand the situation.
Please explain.”
“Um… I have to explain where.”
“Then let me explain.”
The man who seemed to be the leader of the group approached Tae San.
“There is still a village that has not fallen into the hands of fanatics. I didn’t get burned.”
“What happened?”
The man smiled bitterly.
“If you don’t know enough about fanatics,
I’ll have to start with the history.”
The man began to explain.
“Actually, I have heard the story, so I don’t know exactly. But they say our world wasn’t like this originally.”
“If so?”
Kouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
A clash of power spreads.
It is the wave of power emitted by immortals. Mortals could neither adapt nor handle it. People were terrified and sat down, breathing heavily.
The man grimaced and exhaled hard.
“This way… They say there were no crashes all day. The land is fertile, the sky is very calm, and people stay in their homes and grow old and die there.”
“Is there really such a world? I can’t believe it.”
“It’s a story I’ve heard, so I’m not sure.”
The man answered Geratin’s question. He looked at Taesan again. “
It is said that at some point a roar rang and the world shook.
The moment people were perplexed, two beings appeared in this world.”
[I am the one who steps on the earth. paragup. Worship and serve me. Otherwise, you will lose your life and even your soul will suffer.]
[I am the owner of the sky. Kevoruac. Worship and serve me. Otherwise, I won’t let you die and I’ll make you suffer forever.]
The two, each insisting on trusting the other, soon began to battle each other.
And they forced faith in themselves and punished those who did not believe.
“Even the royal family became their slaves. Now every town and city in the world is theirs. I am their puppet.”
The man clenched his fists tightly.
There was anger and sorrow on his face.
“Those who don’t believe in them, like us, can’t stay in one place and run away with bated breath.”
“If you listen to the story,
they seem to be very strong. Is it possible to hide?”
“From a certain point on, they focused on fighting among themselves. Thanks to that, I was able to maintain my life to this day.”
The man smiled bitterly. Taesan calmly organized his thoughts and asked the man.
“By the way, do you have any reason to run away like this? The fact that the city was eaten by them means that it maintains its function as a city. If you promise to worship them as gods and stay in the city…
“No!”
Geratin growled. The face was infinitely contorted.
“Oops! Those terrible beings are not gods! Things that kill people like toys because they don’t believe in themselves! Worshiping such things! I’d rather die than that!”
throw up strong emotions It contained hatred and anger. the man whispered quietly.
“Geratin lost her parents to them.”
“okay.”
“Some of these people, like my Latinos, hate them. Even if I die, I believe that I will not trust them.”
“Some of it means there are other reasons.”
“Actually, this is the biggest.”
The man said with an ambiguous face.
“There were quite a few people who could not endure difficult situations and eventually went to serve them. He pretended to worship and said he would come to help. But most of them never came back. Even if you come back,
you will be in the same state as the fanatic. I felt like I would lose myself if I served them even falsely. That’s why we are wandering around even in pain.”
Those who found a place to rest
fell asleep one by one.
Taesan
told them that he would keep watch instead of them, and headed to a deserted place.
[Did you get a sense?]
“Roughly.”
The two immortals were trying to use the life of this world as the cornerstone to become a god.
They forced people to believe and killed those who did not follow them.
However, there was a limit to the coercive method. Faith must come from the depths of the heart. No matter how much one cries out for faith, that faith is based on fear. They
can’t get what they want.
So they chose the method of brainwashing.
Whether it was because they had a special ability or because they used the power of immortals to crush their minds, they forcibly won people’s faith.
The two immortals developed their own power like that.
And those who believed them were attacking each other like them and forcibly dragging the non-believers away.
[In a vulgar way,]
Akasha said quietly.
[But also in a reasonable way. Ordinary immortals cannot become transcendental unless they use this expedient. It’s stupid, but it’s not bad.]
Taesan looked at Akasha.
Her voice was very calm. The level of an immortal didn’t seem to inspire her much.
[What is the master going to do?]
“It’s the way I don’t like it.”
Kuung…
The earth shakes. People who fell asleep wake up frightened. Before long, he vomits swear words and goes back to bed.
“I told you to bring stability, so you have to do what you say.
Level up with skill
