259. Earth (2)
「Shinhwa < The Natural Enemy of Everything > has been completed.」
「Shinhwa < The Natural Enemy of Everything > accumulates in divine power
.
」 When < Natural Enemy > is activated, your divine power greatly interferes with the power of all beings.” “
※ Those who do not have will cannot resist your divine power.
” The effect of < Chaos > is applied.」
「When < Chaos > is activated, the enemy’s negative emotions are extracted as faith.」 「
※The greater the enemy’s negative emotions, the greater the efficiency of faith extraction.」
Creation of a new myth When I saw it, my eyes lit up right away.
[ The nemesis of everything? ]
It deserved it.
It was because the myths I had acquired after a long time were different from the ones I had acquired so far.
Shinhwa < Enemy of Everything > was filled with really interesting effects.
Should I say that the focus is on taking and pressing the opponent thoroughly?
[ …. ]
It was not enough to be able to interfere with all kinds of powers, and to be able to extract the negative emotions of others with faith…
It was amazing.
However, as I slowly looked at the contents, I could understand why these effects appeared.
Perhaps the myth < Enemy of Everything > is the result of a story obtained from the decisive battle with Karnar.
‘It seems like < Neumatic Enemy > countered the opponent’s strength throughout the battle, and < Chaos > was created thanks to stealing faith with a dedicated skill.’
It is also attractive to have the same power as your
natural enemy in battle.
Unlike other deities, I cannot receive and receive faith in one place.
Of course, he became a savior on the stage of trials on the 18th floor and gained a lot of faith.
It was certainly difficult to become a source of income for a fixed faith.
‘The myth itself is quite usable. I’ll be able to put it to good use later.’
Shinhwa < Enemy of Everything > was well worth using as one of the main abilities.
Of course, there is a downside that it is difficult to combine with the activation of other myths.
In fact, even that is not a big problem because you can increase the amount of Shinhwa’s activation with the intangible sword.
At that moment, I put a smile on my lips and then used the divine < Death >.
It’s nothing else…
「The Divine Realm < Obsession in Despair > is released from an out of control state and disappears.
」
Khajijit…!
In the blink of an eye, the realm of black graveyards disappeared, revealing the original world.
The original world he saw upon coming here was a land contaminated with the divinity and demons of an ancient deity.
The god of despair, fall and madness was bringing about the end of the world, and it was about to become a reality.
By the way…
– Huh.
The land that came into view was very different from what he had seen before.
―Isn’t this… a pretty amazing sight?
The earth, stained with divinity and demonic energy, was trying to escape from its influence.
very quickly too.
The vegetation, which had dried up without a drop of moisture, regained some vitality, and the color of the ground surface was not as dark as before.
To some extent, the purification of this land has been carried out.
―That crazy divinity of an ancient deity disappearing so quickly… Even
if it can’t be said to be completely purified yet, it’s at least an environment where life can live.
Seeing that, I immediately turned my head to look around and said admiringly.
[It sure looks amazing. I didn’t know that the earth would suddenly be purified like this. ]
―That’s right. The divinity and the demons here would have been difficult even if the deity came and drove them out. But now…
[At this point, the purification may proceed on its own even if I don’t touch it. ]
―I guess so. Your divinity must have had something to do with this place. It is something that cannot be explained otherwise.
[I guess so. ]
That makes sense.
As he said, the land here was not something that could be solved by self-cleaning.
It wasn’t that much time had passed until midnight.
Perhaps something happened while defeating Karnar.
‘Are the conditions for the ancient deity to intervene?’
The god of despair, fall, and madness would have used Karnar as a limb.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to do anything because of the law of causality that the Tower put on the godhead.
The twisted cult of Karnar gave him a reason to intervene, so he was able to use his powers, albeit indirectly.
But not anymore.
‘Since the medium called Karnar has disappeared, the law of causation will no longer allow excessive intervention by the godhead.’
The apostle of the ancient deity lost his life, and as a result, the justification for using his power was lost.
It was only now that I understood why the polluted land had been cleansed of itself.
Originally, I was thinking of staying here and taking care of things for a while even
after clearing the ordeal.
「The special power ‘Create Divine Realm’ is activated.」
「Challenger Seongyoon Han’s divine power and faith are consumed to create the divine realm < Transcendence >.
」
Brilliant golden divinity flows out of the body and creates a holy ground at once.
「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.」
The effect of the divine realm is the same as before.
Brilliant light became a pillar and soared into the sky, and the surface of the earth began to be wrapped in a film of divinity.
However, that did not mean that nothing had changed.
Even at a glance, there were things that were different enough to tell.
Exactly…
―How far does the divine realm extend…?
The whole radius of the divine realm < Transcendence > was like that.
Now, the sacred realm has grown to the extent that it is difficult to contain it in the field of view, rather than just enclosing the whole area.
Guessing with my senses, the divine realm would continue to expand further.
Of course, the consumption of divine power and faith also increased.
But it was worth it.
[Probably, you can protect all areas contaminated with divine and demonic energy with this. ]
It’s a decent level if you can save the people living in this land with just this much power.
Of course, since there are no divinities left in this world, I don’t think I can protect them forever.
It was worth it.
As Karnar said, there is no divinity left in this place anymore.
But even so, I didn’t think it was wrong to use the sacred realm to protect people.
‘Anyway, there was no divinity on Earth. Those who can live will live.’
Even without the protection of a godhead, people could survive.
Karnar said as if he had no ability to protect the dimension without the power of a godhead…
Surprisingly, if there is no such thing as a human being, the next best thing is to come up with.
At least if you give them a little help with the divine realm, they will find a way to live.
Even if it’s not, the degree of pseudo-deity will appear.
[ Until then, I hope that the sacred realm will be maintained. ]
After thinking that, I created an additional divinity area by using the divinities of < Death >, < Immortality > and < Reverse Heaven >.
It was to prepare for the invasion of another deity.
After several tens of minutes passed, the pillars of light with different colors began to grow.
Quite a lot.
‘Now I can really go.’
The moment I smiled at him and was about to go back to the waiting room.
「Skill ‘Hope Spread’ is activated.」
「Hope for you spreads rapidly by skill ‘Hope Spread’.」
One of the skills I had forgotten about suddenly activated.
[ …what? ]
And at a time I hadn’t even thought of.
***
same time.
The home of the Hermian clan, surrounded by sacred realms.
There, Lucia was taken aback when she sensed the pillars of light rising through the sky.
“…”
It was just like that.
All the pillars of light rising up to the sky today were all she knew.
Even though she couldn’t see it, her innate senses as a shrine maiden were telling her.
That’s like the power of the divine spirit that gave salvation to the clan.
And…
“Everything really went as predicted…”
The end that should have come to the world is now gone.
Lucia raised her head and stared blankly toward the sky.
Although she could not see the pillar of light because she was blind by nature, she could feel the power within it.
A power beyond the reach of mere mortals.
Suddenly, Lucia remembered one of the prophecies handed down from generation to generation.
‘No way…’
It’s nothing else…
-When the Divine Spirit drove the end, he would give the oracle of salvation. At that time, all members of the clan must follow the will of the spirit.
She remembered the prophecy that the divine spirit she believed in would cast an oracle after driving out the end.
“Is this the oracle of the prophecy…?”
There is no phrase that clearly conveys the meaning anywhere.
The pillars of light made of divinity only expand the area as if to protect them.
However, Lucia soon clasped her hands together and smiled as if she was praying faithfully.
“Finally…”
The smile on her lips was indelible sincerity.
It’s also very subtle.
So far, Lucia has continued her life as a priestess to keep the prophecy of her clan.
And now the opportunity to keep that prophecy has come.
Even without text, she was confident that she could understand God’s will.
“Are you finally giving us a chance to wash away the mistake of being Karnar…!”
She seemed to know what the pillars of light in the sky meant.
At that time, one of the members of the clan came up to Lucia in a hurry.
He couldn’t control his excitement even when he was out of breath and quickly reported to Lucia.
“Mistress…! do you feel now! The power of the divine spirit is in the sky over there…!”
“You shouldn’t be too surprised. It is a fact that we already know.”
“That’s right. sorry. I had to come in with an example…”
“No. You have nothing to apologize for. Because I was also trying to deliver the oracle given by the divine spirit.”
“An oracle…?”
At her words, a member of the clan cautiously asked a question, and only then did Lucia answer as if satisfied.
“From now on, our clan will leave this land.”
and.
“What is that…! You know! That this land was once inhabited by native deities! We have a duty to save the native divinity…!”
A member of the clan who heard her words couldn’t hide her embarrassment and said that.
It was worth it.
For the Hermian clan, who deal with necromancy, the land where the native deity lived was like a sacred place.
They have lived here for hundreds of years.
He endured only with the will to save the native deity with necromancy.
“That’s why I say it.”
But now Lucia knew it was useless.
“Karnar Sagsis. My clan’s blot was also obsessed with the revival of native deities. But what about his end?”
“…”
“You betrayed your family and joined an ancient deity, and then even an unseemly plan was stopped by a divine spirit.”
“That’s…”
“But the ‘true salvation’ given by the oracle is not like that.”
A member of the clan looked at him and quietly asked a question.
“Then, are you saying that the oracle of salvation given by the divine spirit is different from the family’s wish?”
“That’s right. The spirits said they would protect us. As long as we show our will.”
“….”
“From now on, we will preach the greatness of God to those outside of us. And in the end, I will make it happen according to the will of the divine spirit.”
“No way…”
“Yes.”
Lucia continued talking with her mouth twitching as if she couldn’t stand the anticipation.
“All religions that exist in the world will disappear, and only the existence of the Holy Spirit will remain.”
In a word, it meant that all religions in the world would be Han Seong-yoon’s.
The members of the clan, who understood the true meaning of her words, trembled.
It was…
“Oh oh oh oh oh! Such an oracle…! Goddess didn’t abandon us after all…!”
It was excitement based on the faith in Han Seong-yoon.
Looking at the members of the clan with such excited eyes, Lucia said in a soft voice.
“Please spread the news to others as well. And we will leave this land today.”
“Ah yes. But who will you spread your faith to…”
“Oh, don’t worry about that either. Because I have decided where to fill my faith.”
“Oh…”
She then went on to say where to start spreading the faith.
“I think we should lightly change the state religion of the holy nation in the West.”
divine country.
The world’s largest religious group that worships a certain deity.
She decided it was reasonable to change from there.
If the divine oracle is as prophesied, we will have to fix the stupid unbelievers one by one… so it
would be better to change the biggest problem first.
‘Perhaps this is the will of the divine spirit.’
Lucia clasped her hands together and prayed while turning her head to the pillar towering in the sky.
‘My God. Please wait a little longer. We will make this world belong to the spirits.’
And a smile bloomed on her beautiful face.
“At that time, please become our god and shine again.”
That’s a very sincere laugh.
