255. Retrofit (3)
Karnar Sagsis looked ahead and frowned as if tired.
[The tower really raised a crazy monster…]
It was well worth it.
Even after being hit directly by so many holy powers, the challenger from the tower still couldn’t stop breathing.
Although thin and pale…
Han Seong-yoon’s heart was still beating.
Against the bombardment-like punching of the native deity, ‘The Mountain Giant who protected the spirits’.
[Why is the lifeline so tough even though they are being beaten one-sidedly? ]
The native deities now in front of me were the deities who once ruled this planet.
It’s a fact that doesn’t change even though I’m carrying some penalties because I was revived without will.
However, Han Seong-yoon not only achieved the same rank against the native deities, but also extinguished one of them.
The meaning it had could never be taken lightly.
‘Is it a level that is equivalent to a formal godhead who has lived for thousands of years for a hound raised by the tower?’
Instead of being tied to the land, the indigenous divinity and faith are greatly strengthened in the land.
So, originally, it was right to die without any help if you deal with three native deities in the main camp.
This means that if the amount accumulated as a godhead is not that great, then the official godhead will be no different.
But Sungyoon Han was different.
‘It seems that the power gap has been narrowed somehow with an unknown myth… Even considering that, it is a different power.’
Even if the power was inflated by matching myths or the activation conditions of the authority, it could never be left unattended.
How can you become this strong against the strong?
Considering that the level he had accumulated as a god was not very high, the source of his power could not be ignored.
That’s why Karnar also acknowledged Han Seong-yoon’s power in the end.
Unlike the other candidates whom TOP had nurtured, he said he was great.
I just had to admit that.
‘The tower is also bound by the law of cause and effect that it has created. If you think about it, it means that this guy has overcome such adversity to have this power.’
At the point when the law of causality was created to redeem the gods, the Tower could not escape the law of causality.
Such is the law that binds all transcendent beings.
If only the tower was an exception in the application conditions, the tower would not have been able to apply the law of cause and effect.
It is said that there must be a cause to have a result…
Even though he was raised by the Tower, the challenger must have prepared the cause and effect to have this kind of power.
Otherwise, it couldn’t have been so insanely strong.
At that, Karnar raised the corner of his mouth.
[Still, I got a useful species besides the native godhead with this. ]
Han Seong-yoon is about to die.
What this meant was that Karnar would soon be able to use Han Sung-yoon’s corpse…
Considering Han Sung-yoon’s power, this was no small gain.
Karnar looked at the place where Han Seong-yoon was lying and licked his lips.
‘Still, if I could get it as a species like this, it would have been better to get it alive.’
Han Seong-yoon, who was revived by necromantic magic, was certain to lose some of his former abilities.
Myths and beliefs, as well as some powers or exclusive abilities, would have been the case.
Reviving a deity that has already died is a miracle in itself, so it can be said that it is an unavoidable price.
But I couldn’t regret it forever.
[Actually, I wanted to make her a living person, not a corpse, but… I can’t help it. ]
Since Han Seong-yoon refused to appease them a long time ago, it’s time to do it his way.
Karnar used his divine power to give instructions to the remaining native deities.
Deal with Han Seong-yoon as quickly as possible.
Before long, the force exerted on Han Seong-yoon increased, and soon it was found that the spark of his life was extinguished.
It’s nothing else…
「The god of despair, fall, and madness is mad at the death of challenger Han Seong-yoon!」
Han Seong-yoon, who had been living tenaciously so far, was really dead.
‘…Now that he seems to have used up all of his regenerative abilities, he’s probably really dead.’
At that, Karnar smiled incredulously.
I never thought I would survive even with all the means I could use.
It was worth it.
It was not enough to turn back the world’s time, and he was the one who erased the fatal wounds inflicted on the body…
I had to feel uncomfortable.
But I couldn’t be bound by it forever.
Suuuu-.
「Second-class apostle ‘Karnar Sagsis’ activates Divine < Obsession >.」 「
Second-class Apostle ‘Karnar Sagsis’ activates Divine < Ghost >.」
「Second-class Apostle ‘Karnar Sagsis’ activates Divine < Maintenance >.」
Karnar held out his hand and simultaneously activated it as if mixing Divine Powers.
Serving an ancient deity, the powers obtained at the cost of the end of this world overflowed greatly.
The moment when the power of a chaotic being that can even revive a native deity dwells in him.
In the blink of an eye, the overflowing power was shot at the place where Han Seong-yoon’s corpse was.
Whoa…!
[Wake up! Challenger from the Tower! Get a new life and become my servant! ]
But…
[ …. ]
Despite the use of divine powers, the revival did not take place.
Even if it is a godhead that has lived for thousands of years, it should be revived right away…
For some reason, there was no reaction from Han Seong-yoon’s corpse.
really nothing.
[What else is this…]
You can’t bring the dead back to life despite using divine powers?
Karnar focused his energy on it, frowning, but that didn’t change anything.
no.
Quite the opposite.
Divinity and Magi were scattered in the air without being able to be used anywhere.
As if using necromancy against living creatures…
And when he thought about it, Karnar was startled.
[No way…! ]
It deserved it.
It’s nothing else…
It’s because divinity like dark red mud was slowly flowing from Han Seong-yoon’s corpse.
It is also in a form different from the divinity of Han Seong-yoon that we have seen so far.
[This crazy…! You said you had other resuscitation abilities besides those two? rot! ]
At this, Karnar immediately freaked out and gave instructions to the native deities with the divinity in his hand.
Just like before, kill that challenger who is persistently trying to survive.
For the willless dead, the magician’s instructions are an absolute indicator of action.
In the blink of an eye, the giant of the mountain that protected the spirit and the snake that tried to devour the mountain headed for Han Seong-yoon.
And…
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Soon, the moment when the native deities tried to completely crush Han Seong-yoon.
Suddenly, the divinity in the form of dark red mud that overflowed from Han Seong-yoon’s body exploded fiercely.
At that, the native deities howled as they almost broke through the parts of their bodies that were in contact with the dark red mud.
Also very intense.
Chii-!
oh oh oh oh oh oh…!
Ki-ki-shi-i-i-i-ik…!
The sound of skin sizzling and burning spreads, and at the same time, voices filled with pain reverberate throughout the cemetery. “Despair, fall, and the god of
madness
reveal all sorts of negative emotions.
”
It was worth it.
It was because Han Seong-yoon, who had collapsed without even moving, staggered and stood up from his seat.
Instead of the brilliant golden divinity like before, he wore a divinity in the form of dark red mud.
And only then did Karnar realize.
“The god of death quietly looks at Karnar Sagsis.”
Now, that thing in front of his eyes has become the same existence as death itself.
***
My vision, which had been dark as if I had turned off the lights, was finally normal.
‘…It hurts as if my head would break.’
Is it because he died once, like the words printed in the system message?
I don’t know why, the throbbing in my head won’t stop.
But even so, I knew what to do.
Gathering my breath, I caught a glimpse of the howling native deities and turned my gaze elsewhere.
It’s not different…
[ …you. challenger. What the hell did you do? How did you suddenly reach such a high level…! ]
He saw Karnar with a pale complexion, like someone who had seen something in vain.
He trembled as if in a panic and asked excited questions.
As if he had forgotten that he had an enemy in front of him.
[Why why…! It’s not me who was favored by an ancient deity and dedicated the world to myself, but someone like you…! ]
But I consistently ignored those questions and looked at him quietly.
without saying anything.
He was venting his anger, so it wasn’t worth talking to.
It would be better if I noticed at least one change that happened to me while I exploded my inferiority complex like that.
After looking at him like that, I lowered my gaze and noticed one thing.
‘…Has the divinity used for apotheosis changed?’
The divinity < transcendence > that had covered the body so far disappeared and the divinity < death > took its place.
However, the divine < death > was different from before.
Should I say that the concentration itself has changed?
For some reason, it took on a mud-like shape, and because of that, the lethality increased.
It looks as if it could drive all living things to the brink of death just by brushing them.
In fact, even the native deities were suffering so much from the mud-like divinity that suddenly changed their deification status.
‘I thought the native deities would feel so much pain from a power that wasn’t even a proper divine power.’
Perhaps the divinity < Death > grew as the level of Necromancy increased.
Thinking so, I suddenly had a question.
Come to think of it, I satisfied the growth conditions of Necromancy and was able to revive like this.
Then, what are the effects of the newly acquired necromancy?
As soon as I thought about it, I immediately opened the status window and quickly looked at related things.
『Unique Characteristic – Necromancy (S)』
Necromancy’s grade, which hadn’t risen so far, became S-rank before
anyone knew it….
What really mattered was what I gained from the grade increase.
After that, the moment I checked the newly added detailed effect.
I could understand why it had suddenly become so strong.
『Detailed effect (8) – Has the power to control the death of all things.』
『Detailed effect (9) – Challenger Han Seong-yoon takes the place of < God of Death >.』
『Detailed effect (10) – Challenger Han Seong-yoon has 1 It is possible to deny death once a year.]
[ …. ]
Three detailed effects have been added at once.
It’s as great as one.
I understood the contents in an instant, and then kept my mouth shut and laughed inwardly.
He would be like that….
To be able to deal with the death of all things, hold the position of the god of death, and deny death once a year?
I could understand why the growth conditions of necromancy were so difficult.
‘It’s just really crazy effects.’
Of course, two of the detailed effects are a little ambiguous to understand.
Even that didn’t bother me too much.
That would be the case too…
[Now the balance has been set. ]
What is the power that governs the death of all things…
Maybe from now on you will be able to find out to your heart’s content.
Also very thoroughly.
