267. God of battle (5)
Ascension.
This has already been completed once after a fierce battle with an apostle who originally served an ancient deity.
It was worth it.
Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence > allows you to defeat an unbeatable enemy and makes you stronger just by winning.
‘At that time, I definitely became a god of transcendence through ascension.’
The power as a godhead, which was only a fake, became real with the ascension.
That’s why I thought Ascension would be obsolete and no longer usable.
But it wasn’t.
I smiled at the system message that popped up in front of me.
It’s nothing else… 「Absorbed the command of the 3rd-class apostle
, ‘Kramashu Lugnes’.
」
System message saying you got .
Of course, only 1.7% of the ascension was filled
.
Being able to go through another ascension was worth it.
‘What I gained through ascension was the power as a god of transcendence.’
It was worth it.
‘Then, the power to be obtained when the 2nd Ascension is fulfilled is also determined.’
ancient deity.
Because it is possible to cross the gap that does not seem to be narrowed even after stepping into the realm of divine power.
I don’t know if I can really get the power of an ancient deity.
But at least I knew I would get something comparable.
In fact…
―This nonsense… It can’t be believed that the power of an ancient deity… Damcheonwu, who
dwells in the blood-heaven demon sword, was shocked and muttered that.
―To think that even if you build up your strength as a godhead over tens of thousands of years, you can reach an unattainable level just by winning… Damcheonwu
smiled dejectedly as if he had lost his words now.
-It’s really amazing.
I nodded my head and agreed.
[Maybe this will help me. ]
―I guess so. In the first place, it was nothing else, it was to increase the power of the godhead. There’s no way it won’t be strong
[It is. ]
―But you have to be careful. Maybe if the other gods find out about this… your life could go out like a candle.
[ …. ]
Hearing it, he was right.
‘Come to think of it, other deities might try to keep me in check.’
As Dam Chun-wu said, the god of battle was just the beginning, and there was a possibility that other deities would appear.
That too with a very high probability.
Perhaps it will become even more so if you learn about the myth < The Possibility of Transcendence >.
Even if it’s a small probability, the gods will feel the crisis and try to kill me.
‘But that doesn’t mean it can’t be stopped.’
I had no choice.
I wasn’t under too much psychological pressure.
I had assumed to some extent that I would have to deal with the gods anyway.
There is no need to stress unnecessarily.
However, the fact that a divinity entered the earth still bothered me.
‘As long as it’s not an invasion of Earth, everything else doesn’t matter.’
So…
「The special power ‘Create Divine Realm’ is activated.」
「Consumes challenger Han Seong-yoon’s divine power and faith to create the divine realm < Transcendence >.」 You
should be prepared to some extent.
That way you can feel psychologically stable.
Even if it is not, the god of battle can lay his hands on the earth at any time.
It was right to have at least a minimum safety device in place.
As soon as I finished thinking like that, I immediately channeled the divine power through my fingertips and created a divine realm.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Brilliant golden divinity spread throughout the city and covered the whole area with divine power.
And the wave of divinity does not stop as it is, permeates the earth and spreads over a wider range.
Rather than specifying a sacred area in one place, it is to spread divinity throughout the earth.
Perhaps if you did this, you could see the effect of the divine realm anywhere, even if it was a minimal effect.
「In places where there is a divine realm < Transcendence >, the body and mind do not suffer from lethargy.」 「
In places where there is a divine realm < Transcendence >, all growth rates increase by 100%.」
All kinds of injuries recover quickly.」
However, the creation of the Holy Land does not end there.
‘It’s not enough to prepare for an invasion with this.’
The divine realm of < transcendence > cannot rule out the external divinity at all.
Of course, to some extent, it can prevent the god from using its power….
How far that will work is close to unknown.
If so, it creates another divinity area where divinity cannot function.
Kii-i-i-ing…!
「Consuming a small amount of challenger Han Seong-yoon’s divine power and faith to create the divine realm < Death >
. 」
The red divinity swayed like a wave and stretched out.
Brilliant light and dark light mix half and half as if they complement each other.
When I saw that, I was relieved.
「Achievement ‘Planet Protection’ has been accomplished.]
「The grade of the special power ‘Create Divine Realm (B+)’ will grow to ‘Create Divine Realm (A)’.
」 . ]
Now the earth is in a state that is different from a kind of sacred zone.
Although a lot of divine power went into the creation of the divine realm…
Is it because of absorbing the divine power by defeating countless opponents?
It wasn’t too much of a burden because he had obtained the divine power of Kramash before, and now the amount of divine power had increased considerably.
At least it wasn’t enough to interfere with the battle, so it was quite satisfactory.
[It’s quite usable. ]
Even creating a divine realm, the amount of faith flowing into me increased.
‘I’ll be able to increase the number of followers a lot later by designating a follower.’
I smiled lightly at him and headed towards the black gate.
Most of what needs to be done on Earth has been taken care of.
So…
“You have entered the sacred realm < Hell's Arena >.”
Now it’s time to end the bad relationship with the god of battle.
***
same time.
The challengers who were summoned to the American Hunter Association were scattered to different places.
It was worth it.
Although Han Sung-yoon went to Las Vegas to deal with the black gate, there are still a lot of problems.
─Even if challenger Seongyoon Han clears the black gate, the orange gate still remains.
Joseph confirmed Han Seong-yoon’s strength and quickly distributed power.
Currently, only hunters or challengers can kill the monsters pouring from the gate.
Even if you fire missiles, you cannot kill the demon species flowing out of the orange gate.
So it was difficult to deal with all the orange gates in the US.
Even among the challengers, there are only a handful of people who can handle the demon species.
Because of that, the American Hunter Association left the black gate to Han Seong-yoon and placed all manpower elsewhere.
“Even so, I didn’t expect it to be deployed so quickly…”
Catherine Bennett, who arrived in San Francisco, grumbled.
She was aware of the seriousness of the situation.
Currently, the orange gates appearing all over the world are a nuisance to all countries.
Among them, it was a situation where manpower could not be wasted in the United States, where gates were crowded to the extent of being the most serious.
So, it was right to use a valuable manpower like her as soon as he was summoned.
‘Still, I wanted to see Sungyoon a little more.’
Even so, Katherine Bennett expressed regret.
And Lee Ha-yeon, who came with her, was no different.
Lee Ha-yeon nodded in agreement with Catherine Bennett’s muttering.
“I will…. Seeing Seong-yoon fighting himself is really rare… but it’s a pity.”
Lee Ha-yeon said that with a sullen face, as if she was really sorry… but
there were some who didn’t.
Those who saw the power of Han Seong-yoon in the meeting room and harbored a sign of distrust at all.
Among them, one male challenger frowned fiercely.
“Seeing that I wanted to see more of it, the taste went away. Do you really think that’s real?”
He let out a worried sigh and said.
“There’s really no way a person can get rid of such an existence with just a few words.”
Katherine Bennett narrowed her eyes and glared at him.
“Then you don’t think it’s real? Even if you see the power in front of your eyes—”
“So it is in denial. Even if you are the same challenger, there are limits. It might be a power with tricks.”
“That’s what else…”
“It means that you can’t say that what you see is everything.”
He put the blue spear in his hand on his shoulder and looked around.
“I’m guessing I’m not the only one here who thinks that way?”
Actually…
“To be honest… I don’t want to believe it. that. I don’t feel like a person anymore.”
“I agree. Whether it’s a skill or authority. You can’t be that strong. Common sense.”
“Either that, or it could have been a skill or authority that made people mistaken for that kind of power.”
Among the challengers, there were some who made unreasonable claims.
But there were also those who did not.
All those who truly believed in the power Han Seong-yoon had shown frowned.
And soon, he spoke as if to refute their unreasonable claim.
“It sucks. Seriously, how did these bastards climb the tower? I hope it’s not the same number of floors.”
“Seeing that you can’t believe it even after seeing it, it looks like there’s something wrong with your head…?”
“You tricked me with skill or authority? What bullshit is this again? Conspiracy theories should be moderated.”
Those who accepted Han Seong-yoon’s power as it is and those who did not were divided.
The challengers who were divided like that had a brief war of words with each other.
But that didn’t last too long either.
It’s not different…
“Ha! then? So is Han Seong-yoon becoming a god? These are not idiots!”
It’s because one of the challengers made such a noise.
“If Han Seong-yoon really had that much power and was a god, he would have protected the earth a long time ago!”
“That’s…”
“There’s no such thing as a god. And… there are no godlike powers. It must be just a delirium-type skill.”
“…”
To be honest, that was just a stretch.
However, the challengers could not immediately deny his words.
Because they can’t really be sure that Han Sung-yoon has god-like powers.
But that was only for a moment.
“It doesn’t mean that Mr. Seongyun is a god. It just has enough power to be thought of.”
“And if Seongyun is a god, is there anything strange about it? If it’s the top, it can be like that…”
The moment Catherine Bennett and Lee Ha-yeon refuted as if crying.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Suddenly, a loud reverberation spread across the land, and transcendental power was felt.
It’s also very powerful.
As the saying goes, even if it rots, it’s Junchi…
In the end, the challengers who felt the power quickly changed their attitude and prepared for battle.
Katherine Bennet also had to pull up her strength, frowning.
“…”
But soon she frowned and relaxed.
“I can’t believe this…”
It was just like that.
「The divine realm < Transcendence > is activated.」
「You can continue < Transcendence > through faith in the challenger Han Seong-yoon.」
「The divine realm < Death > is activated.」
「Faith regarding the challenger Han Seong-yoon. < Death > can be sustained through this.」
Because the message that appeared in front of her eyes before she knew it knew that this was not the enemy.
And at the same time, the faces of the challengers who saw the system message turned pale.
That too is very miserable.
“A divine realm…?”
It’s nothing else…
“There really is such a thing as God…?”
Now even the distrust of Han Seong-yoon has been denied.
***
「You have entered the holy realm < Hell's Arena >.」 As
soon as you pass through the black gate, the scenery changes.
I immediately checked the environment with a glance.
Does the sacred realm live up to its name < the arena of hell >?
‘It’s like hell.’
It’s the same with the red flames flying here and there.
Even that was not enough, about 80% of the area was filled with lava.
It seemed that they made it so that they could not run away except for the place where they would really fight.
It looks as if it would be like this if there was a real arena in hell.
And…
[Are you finally here? ]
On the red stone ground, there was a half-naked man with red skin and black horns.
Even with the red divinity wrapped around it.
That’s why I noticed right away.
[ Waited. ]
It’s nothing else…
[Challenger Han Seong-yoon.]
That’s the god of battle.
