68. Operation of the Tower of Babel (4)
At that moment, the angels in the distance sent something in this direction.
It was thousands of points of light.
Deus experienced battle in outer space for the first time.
On Earth, a direct strike was impossible because there were numerous geographical features within a distance of tens of kilometers.
Moreover, all attacks within visual range reached zero within a few seconds.
Therefore, agility was an important factor in battles on Earth.
But a completely different scene was unfolding here.
There were no obstacles within the visible range.
The location of the angels surrounding Deus was at least 50 kilometers away.
It took about a second for their attack to reach.
I avoided it thinking something was coming, but the attack actually arrived a long time later
.
Deus tilted his head as he dodged the first attack.
I simply dodged and glared at the archangel.
First, I rushed towards him with the intention of catching the captain.
In an instant, the distance narrowed. But I had to stop there. A rain of light fell before my eyes.
It was an unrecognized attack.
The angels had already fired light a few seconds ago.
In a fight in outer space, agility and
strength had no meaning.
Foreknowledge and prediction.
The key was how far in advance one could read the enemy’s movements.
And Hamiel was the best of all the angels in that respect.
From that point on, Deus was constantly bombarded by light.
No matter where I escaped, I couldn’t escape the range of light.
There was a way to avoid it by opening the warp gate and completely escaping the area, but that path was already blocked.
The range in which Deus could now move
was inside the siege created by the angels and was within Hamiel’s absolute prediction range.
Archangel Hamiel was now contemplating the enemy with his hands hanging down.
The light disappeared from her eyes.
Relying on sight is foolish.
All beings who have ever lived on earth feel the confusion of their senses here.
You notice that there is a light black and a dark white.
The sense of distance disappears and the sense of weight is lost.
In that situation, it was beyond Hamiel’s calculations that the 666-year-old Demon King could do that much.
She made a sound like a song.
It was the battle language of angels, with syllables and pitches that ranged from high to low.
It was only two syllables, but it contained countless magic.
With that power, the legion of angels became her limbs in perfect order.
The demon Deus was cornered.
It was a land where thousands of heavenly scourges, emanating from spears of light, lurked.
Hamiel relaxed a little at the thought that it would never be avoided.
However, the task of taking the enemy’s life failed. There was only a very small wound on my right forearm.
A small wrinkle appeared between Hamiel’s eyebrows.
Did I let my guard down?
I mocked myself and started calculating again.
After exactly 13 seconds, you will be able to corner the enemy again.
Hamiel gave orders to the siege network surrounding the absolute prediction space.
I counted down in my mind.
3 2 1.
“Again?”
Hamiel let out a single word.
It was rare for her calculations to be wrong.
This was the same no matter how powerful the being was.
The conclusion reached by understanding both the molecular power and combat pattern of that being was an absolute prediction.
We cannot boast of 100 percent accuracy
, but the error was always within the margin of error.
But not now.
3 2 1.
I missed it again.
Although it did cause some damage to Deus’ body, it was a completely different result compared to the goal of saving life.
Which part of the data is wrong?
Hamael’s lost eyes scanned Deus again.
His reaction speed and how he responded to attacks
and counterattacked were patterned and used as predictive data.
There was very little change compared to when I first scanned him.
There are always errors.
Therefore, modifying the data was within common sense.
There was nothing to be ashamed of if the prediction was wrong. Rather, it was dangerous not to acknowledge the error.
The countdown started again.
Hamiel focused all his senses on the enemy.
His strength was amazing.
Higher than an archangel. The data was hard to believe.
But angels are legions. The power of each one is not important.
An angel wins against a devil in a one-on-one battle?
That kind of thing is something that only exists in mythology.
God’s work is accomplished by tens of thousands of legions stacking mountains of corpses against powerful demons.
Deus he is strong.
However, its power is not unique in the history of myth.
It’s predictable.
Hamiel’s legion scattered tens of thousands of rays of light.
The light body became an aurora and covered his body.
Enough energy that could take one’s life was raking through the space.
It’s torn apart. The molecule cannot maintain its shape and splits. It could not even withstand the powerful force that bound the elementary particles within the particle.
Complete extinction.
But I missed it.
Wrinkles added to Hamiel’s forehead.
“Chaos…
Chaos that even archangels cannot control exists within this absolute space.
“Oh, you’re so persistent.”
Deus grumbled and looked overhead.
The distinction between top and bottom has long since disappeared.
Should we say down on the side of the Earth where the blue star is?
Then it looks like the top is the bottom. Exactly 451 light bullets flew.
Each one of them was powerful enough to destroy the castle.
Of course, it will only leave a small scar on you.
Still, if that amount hits one point, the impact is quite significant.
“If I avoid it, will it be this way this time?” Deus dodged 451 light bullets.
Immediately after that, a bullet twice that size suddenly appeared in the square.
“I don’t hate smart women, but it’s hard to deal with them.”
Deus threw up his fist.
It was Hyunmoo’s hand.
One or two out of ten received it in person. It wasn’t fatal, but the damage was definitely
done.
That’s good enough for now.
After about 10 battles, Deus was able to understand Hamiel’s pattern.
Battles in infinite space were also unfamiliar.
I don’t know the exact method, but Hamiel was an angel with extremely good sense.
It felt like I was reading the future.
At first I was quite embarrassed.
No matter where I evaded, a light bullet flew as if it had been waiting.
Although he focused on defense, the power of a thousand angels exceeded Deus’s own defense power.
Violence that cannot be avoided or prevented.
I felt like I had no choice but to give in.
However, Deus, pushed to the limit, smiled slightly.
The stronger the enemy, the better.
The reason Zeke was able to grow so far was because he had an enemy called the Demon King.
I will jump over it.
Deus strengthened his lower abdomen and endured every moment.
Fortunately, he had Hyeonmu.
I remembered the first time I met Hyeonmu.
He dealt with himself using the art of absolute defense. If I applied that power, it seemed possible to hold on right away.
With that in mind, Deus spent his time blocking most of the angels’ attacks and pretending to be moderately attacked.
It was to learn Hamiel’s battle patterns.
At least Deus was confident of one thing.
“When it comes to that sense of battle, I’m probably the best in the world, including God, right?”
Hamiel’s singing became faster.
More orders were needed to stop Deus.
It was a situation I could not understand. Not all of his movements are calculated.
His defense and attack power were within the expected range.
Everything went as expected. But…
“Why are you still alive?”
The 17th fine-tuning began.
This time, he gave orders to a 10,000-strong army, pledging that he would definitely be able to kill them.
The war situation was not at all unfavorable. All angels are alive.
There were incomprehensible errors, but the enemy was clearly moving according to calculations.
If you reduce the error further…
if you reduce it…
At that moment, Hamiel was startled and raised his dog.
“Checkmate.”
Deus’s fingertips
are aimed between his eyes.
“how!”
“Did you think I would be herded around like a rabbit and beat up before running away?”
“Well, I’ll admit that you have good senses.”
“It’s not a feeling. Based on data that is infinitely close to omnipotent…
“Yeah, that’s a feeling. “No matter what rhetoric is used, it is Muin’s sense that makes the final decision.”
Hamiel saw Deus’ hand aimed at him.
It won’t even take a second to pierce your brain.
It is impossible to avoid from this distance. In addition, Deus also had the technology to subdue an angel called DSS.
Hamiel couldn’t understand what happened at the last moment.
“Shall I teach you?”
“What do you mean?”
“You shouldn’t be curious. “How did I subdue you?”
“…If you want to talk,
I will listen.”
“Is it that kind of character? “We are currently selecting new heroines. Would you like to see an interview?”
“Get rid of white noise.”
“That’s why you lost.”
“What do you mean?”
“Because you didn’t see me during the fight.”
“Vision is just one of many data collection organs.”
“that’s right. But you are always watching with your own eyes. Even if it’s an angel, it’s the same. My ears hear and my skin feels. Even if we were to convert the enormous amount of sensations we get there into
data, that would only be the superficial part.”
“Are you saying there’s something I’m missing?”
“A lot of that too. “You have never pushed me away from the beginning.”
“Is that pretentious tone your plan?”
“It’s not a bluff, it’s real. Do you want to try again?”
“again?”
“Would you like to try pushing it in again?”
“Your arrogance will hasten your death.”
“Yeah, that doesn’t happen. Then let’s begin!” Deus’s appearance moved to the center of Hamiel’s absolute prediction area.
Hamiel’s song began again.
My breathing was faster than usual. It was closer to a machine sound than a song.
The angels moved in perfect order, following the sharp sound of the command.
The bullets dominated the space like waves. All directions in which Deus could move were blocked, leaving only a thin gap. There is
now only one move left until checkmate
.
The corps was moving according to pre-entered orders.
There was nothing more Hamiel could do.
But I couldn’t relax. Because it was at this point that I had just lost sight of Deus.
I chased Deus using all my senses.
All of his movements were accumulated as data. Everything is smooth.
It is within the predicted range. And that sharpened Hamiel’s nerves.
3,000 light bullets, equivalent to 30% of the army, poured out at once and filled the space.
There was no gap.
Hamiel had no choice but to be confident of victory again.
There is no being in the world that can block such a wave of attack.
“You were just a devil with a big mouth.”
“Me?”
Hamiel opened his eyes.
Deus is in front of him. Just like before, he aims his fingertips between his eyes.
He pressed his finger between his eyes.
Hamiel had so many thoughts at that moment that his head was dizzy.
