289. Evil God (3)
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh—!!
The black starlight galloped like a beast and swallowed everything in its path.
And that too at a speed that no one here can react to.
Actually…
[What the heck is that…]
[Could it be the divine authority of a formal deity…? ]
[ Heh heh! How could such a vicious power…! ]
The four dragons standing at the center of the fierce battle all vomited their astonishment.
It was worth it.
The Holy Light, which contains the divine < Death >, has been strengthened to the conceptual level due to deification.
So, even the dragons, the apostles who served the ancient deities, could not help but be astonished.
Actually, my strength, demonstrated here, touched the realm of concepts.
But I had no intention of enjoying such a reaction.
Chak-.
[Hand over all qualifications for world protection. ]
The moment he said that as he landed lightly on the dry land.
[Because then it will be possible to protect the world. ]
Among the four dragons standing at the center of the final battle, the green dragon calmly asked a question.
[What the hell are you talking about when it suddenly appears? ]
Maybe you don’t know what the situation is…
[Surely. ]
There is no need to persuade them when there is no time.
[I am the one who was qualified to protect the world by the black dragon. ]
That would be the case too…
[I came here to fight the invasion of evil spirits. ]
Because there is no need to persuade anyway.
Deed-!
In the blink of an eye, power shook mercilessly from the divine armor that covered his body.
At least enough to subdue those present here within seconds.
And at the same time, the four dragons gnashed their teeth.
He saw the torrent of divinity and accepted it as a threat.
[A foolish inferior species…! ]
Among the four dragons, the red dragon growled.
[Nothing will happen even if you threaten us like that! ]
But the red dragon misunderstood something.
[If you don’t qualify, you guys will lose. ]
It has nothing to do with intimidation to raise the strength of the armor of divinity obtained through deification.
[What do you mean by that…? The apostle is dead! That means you killed yourself! The evil spirits won’t be able to invade anymore! But what do you see and say that? ]
It deserved it.
[ no. ]
Because…
[Still, the apostle of evil spirits is not dead. ]
The condensation of the force so far was to prepare for the upcoming shock.
「The < Advent > status effect of the 4th-level formal apostle ‘Bazera’ is strengthened by anger!
”
In an instant, the dust that formed in the place where the holy light swept away was removed.
Before I knew it, black demonic energy was rising in the air filled with dust.
The appearance of Magi harmonized like a bubble formed inside an aquarium.
There was a deeper sense of life in it.
[You’re…]
The dark-haired young man, who was hit directly by the holy light containing the divine < Death >, opened his eyes wide.
‘It’s fun.’
no.
He was no longer a black-haired young man.
Before he knew it, the demonic energy rising from his body began to blend with the divinity and reveal an independent power.
[ Again and again…]
It’s nothing else…
[ The challenger… You are…!! ]
The evil spirit I had seen before was perfectly nested in the black-haired young man.
At least, in the past, the level of power transmitted through < Advent > was adjusted in consideration of the condition of the black-haired young man
.
No matter where I looked, I could immediately notice that < Advent > could not be used for a long time.
‘Am I adjusting to the power…?’
In fact, the black-haired young man in the state of writing < Advent > was trembling because he couldn’t handle the power.
It’s as if he’s trying to somehow adapt to his current situation.
However, in preparation for the shock to come from the outside, the divinity was transformed like an armor to protect him.
It seems to have a similar function to the armor of divinity that I currently acquired through deification.
Probably, it didn’t seem like they would be able to get anything even if they attacked right away.
‘I gave a lot of power to only a 4th-class apostle.’
and.
‘The situation is more serious than I thought…’
Before I knew it, I understood how strong the evil spirit in front of me was.
‘Even if it’s in < Advent > state at most, it won’t be easy to deal with evil spirits at that level.’
Perhaps the evil god who wrote < Advent > is closer to the god of minimal combat.
It is not because the evil spirits have power comparable to that of ancient deities.
It’s just…
the evil god only accepted the recoil that would be obtained later by injecting power into the apostle to the limit.
‘I never thought it would come out this far.’
Presumably, the evil god condensed about 40% of his current power into the apostle.
It was obvious that he would not be able to withstand it with the level and power of a 4th grade official apostle.
At the point of leading a mere apostle into a state like a medium-sized god of battle, he should have gotten a lot of backlash.
‘Does this mean you want to kill me to the extent of doing this?’
It seemed like he was going to kill me on the spot, even if it would seriously hurt his god.
[The existence of a 4th grade apostle… at most, using it as a one-time chess piece…? ]
All of a sudden, the dragons were shocked to see the evil god wearing the Advent of the Apostle.
It’s as if common sense that you thought could never happen has been broken. Perhaps he didn’t know
that he
would pour so much energy into a 4th-level apostle .
‘Even if it’s a 4th-class apostle, if it’s a fake reproduced by the tower, there’s no need to consider the consumption.’
Even more so if it was only reproduced by the tower.
‘…I don’t know what to do with the side effects of the excessive < advent > that will come later.’
And when I saw that, I said calmly.
[ World Guardian Qualifications. ]
Exactly…
[ Hand over everything. ]
He obtained the qualifications to protect the world without any persuasion.
[The law of causality is satisfied by saving you anyway, right? ]
At this point, the 4 dragons should have made enough calculations.
It was worth it.
Will I be killed by the evil spirit in the state of Advent of the Apostles who forcibly drew power, or will I hand over all of my qualifications to protect the world?
situation in which one has to be chosen.
[The battle will begin when the apostle’s body adapts to the attack of the evil spirit. ]
The options themselves were limited.
[If you spend time like this without doing anything, all of you will die. ]
There is not much time left until the apostles have even adjusted to the Advent of the Apostles.
[ Rotten…! okay! I’ll give it! Wouldn’t it be enough to give you all the qualifications!! ]
[ At this rate… I have no choice but to pass the qualifications to protect the world…! ]
[ I can’t help it. I can’t use the swarm anymore. I will do as you wish. ]
So…
「The white dragon transfers the qualification to protect the world to the challenger, Seongyun Han.」
「The green dragon transfers the qualification to protect the world to the challenger, Seongyun Han…
」 Transferred to challenger Han Seong-yoon…”
“Red Dragon transfers the qualifications to defend the world to challenger Han Seong-yoon…”
Which of the options to choose had already been decided.
「You have acquired more than half of the World Guardian Qualifications.」
The next moment.
“Conditions satisfied.”
Seeing the system message popping up in front of my eyes, I smiled.
「Acquire the divine < Ikalium >.」
It was justified.
It is not a divinity that deals with a certain concept, but a divinity that is unknown.
But what this meant, I couldn’t help but want to know.
Because I had an intuition once before through a system message that I could acquire the divinity < Earth > from Earth.
‘at las.’
It’s nothing else…
“Contender Han Seong-yoon becomes the guardian of the world < Ikalium >.”
Now, he has the authority to protect this world reproduced by the tower.
***
As soon as he became a god with all the powers of the world, things changed quickly.
「Obtain Divine < Ikalium > to qualify for World Protection and Blessing.」 「
※However, Divine < Ikalium > has no control over the world and is not treated as an official divinity.」 「
※But Divine < Ikalium > > will disappear without a trace after the end of the special contract ordeal.”
A system message pops up in front of you, and at the same time, the power of the divine < Ikalium > dwells in your heart.
‘This is quite…’
It’s deep.
It is different from the powers that have come into contact with the conceptual realms of divinity < transcendence > and divinity < death >.
The Divine < Ikalium >, which has acquired the qualifications to protect the world and has taken shape, can say this.
It’s really like this world itself.
It was actually such a force.
“The Divine < Ikalium > satisfies the conditions and is automatically used.”
Nothing else…
“By the Divine < Ikalium >, the will of the world itself dwells in the challenger Han Seong-
yoon .” Leeum > has become an existence that represents the world itself.
Whoa-!
[ …. ]
I immediately noticed what it means to have the will of the world.
In an instant, the level of divinity rose.
However, the level of divinity did not just rise for no reason.
This could be said to be a kind of sympathy.
‘I think I know roughly what it is.’
It is also a sympathy that is achieved through the authority to protect this world.
‘You’re synchronizing with the will of the world…’
I felt.
The will of everyone living in the world and what is outside the world was captured by the senses.
Before he knew it, he could feel the evil spirits trying to invade the world with his senses.
However, the level of divinity was tuned more closely and raised the level.
And as it is, the status of being tuned in to the world reaches a certain point.
‘Top…’
Before I knew it, I felt the transcendent existence of the tower from the perspective of the world.
However, despite this, the part that could perceive the tower was limited.
A state in which only a very small amount, which is nothing more than garbage, is captured by the cognitive system.
But even this was enough stimulation.
‘If it’s the will of the world, can you feel at least a piece of the tower?’
It’s great too.
‘It’s getting fun.’
If you tune in to the will of the world, can you even perceive the tower to some extent?
I never thought there would be a way to go to a higher place besides ascension.
Now I could see why deities indulged in beliefs all over the world.
‘Is it possible to become a god of a certain world if you receive faith from everyone in the world…’ The
system message that told you the way to acquire the divine < Earth > was also like that before.
If you gain a certain amount of faith from people all over the earth, you can get the divine < Earth >.
If so, this meant that I could later become the god of the earth and sympathize with them at a high level.
‘It’s interesting.’
But then I shook my head and let go of my thoughts.
It was worth it.
I’m not in a position to think about this in detail yet.
Another growth route of Godhead is definitely fun and interesting, but it’s not something you can handle right away.
‘…but this is at least something I have to do after getting rid of that thing.’
actually-
[Pahaha! ]
The evil god, who had finished adapting to the advent of the apostle before he knew it, smiled with his eyes twinkling.
[Did you fully enjoy the grace given until the end? ]
Then he smiled like a child and then spoke in a chilly voice.
[Until now, I didn’t know the fraction and did a good job. God of Proof. After seeing you because of that insignificant guy. I haven’t forgotten about you for a second. ]
Even…
[So, from now on, you will have to pay the price, right? ]
That’s also full of life.
‘Was it regrettable that I had to withdraw right then?’
It’s probably because of playing with the evil spirits in the world we went to in < The Field of Proof >
. ]
Let’s go on our own-!
It was quite brutal, probably because the memory of that time remained as a trauma.
In the blink of an eye, demonic energy like water droplets was fired like a bullet, revealing the power of authority.
It was probably one of the techniques that dealt with magic with the added power of divine authority.
In fact, it had a lot of power.
But….
Wow-!
[ …under? ]
Before I knew it, I was able to hit all the bullets fired by Magi with my hands.
Even that, to the extent that the skin was slightly chafed.
And the eyes of the evil god who saw it shook.
[ …Did you cut it? ]
It deserved it.
[How can you use the black magic imbued with divine power with only the back of your hand…? ]
Perhaps this black bullet had quite a bit of evil spirit power.
At least to the extent that it could be used even for formal deities.
But even so, it doesn’t work for me right now.
That’s probably
the case too…
Having sympathized with the world, I was able to damage the dignity of power only here.
That’s all the kinds of things you want.
It is the same principle that the bullets of the Black Magi fired by the evil spirits are blocked.
Here, it was possible for a class below a certain level to be downgraded to a crappy level.
‘Is this the godhead who gained the will of the world?’
That is what it means to be a god recognized by the world.
It has this power even though it is only part of the authority of world defense.
So, how far can this be used against a godhead?
The question about this was immediately resolved without taking too long.
[I dare to brazenly hold on to my power on the subject of a useless lower-class deity…! ]
Exactly…
「The divinity < Ikalium > conveys the will of Han Seong-yoon, the challenger, to the world.」
It was an order regarding evil spirits openly against the will of the world.
[Enough. ]
That too…
「The Divine Spirit < Words > is used.」
「You can influence the real world with words by consuming Divine Power.
」 .”
“Get out of my world. 》
In the form of strengthening the will of the world with the divine < Unryeong >.
[What kind of nonsense is that again…]
And this did not give the evil god who wrote < Advent > a chance to finish his words.
「The < Descent > of the evil god used on the 4th-level formal apostle ‘Vazera’ will be canceled.
」
In an instant, dark energy surged from the apostle’s body, and < Advent > was released.
Currently, the apostles who have received < Advent > are in a state of rags.
As a result, the weak apostle collapsed like a puppet whose thread had been cut.
As if it was time to move.
[Is it really? ]
And…
“The evil god is greatly angered by the forcible cancellation of < Advent >…!”
“The evil god is greatly angered by the forcible cancellation of < Advent >… !」
「The evil god is very angry at the forcible cancellation of < Advent >…!」
「The evil god is very angry at the forced cancellation of < Advent >… !”
“The evil god is very angry at the forcible cancellation of < Advent >…!”
The moment when the evil god’s feelings echoed again and again without adding or subtracting from the system message.
“Conditions satisfied.”
“The Tower of Trials has been paid by the Evil God in exchange for numerous sacred powers.” “The
Tower of Trials acknowledges the aftermath of the causal law and mortgages the divine power, and allows the < appearance >.
” A sensation arose and the space was torn apart.
Wow…!
And there, eyes that I had never seen before appeared.
Eyes that looked like those of a reptile.
There, you can feel the purest, deep malice.
[ you. ]
Even the power and the power of that malice.
[ Challenger. ]
It’s nothing else…
[I will definitely kill you.]
An evil god.
Possibly a being who has the potential to rise to the level of an ancient deity by striving for a rise in rank for a long period of time
.
He appeared here without even thinking about the future.
‘This crazy…’
Even that, not as an incarnation, but as a body.
