「Keeping Jewel」
「Rating: SS+」
「A jewel made by an unknown god to keep the divinity of a close friend, but failed to do so.」
A treasured jewel (SS+).
As soon as I saw it, I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide.
He didn’t know that SS+ grade items could be obtained so easily.
‘It doesn’t seem to have any special ability…’
Of course, the holy relic ‘Jewel of Keeping (SS+)’ has no special effect unlike its rank.
There is only an explanation that an unknown god made it to store the divinity of a close friend.
There seemed to be no special effect on the item itself, as if there was no meaning beyond that.
‘Still, this is a huge benefit.’
But that didn’t matter in the first place.
no.
To put it bluntly, the holy relic ‘Jewel of Preservation (SS+)’ can be said to be good because it has no effect.
Anyway, rather than using the relic by its own power, I wanted a vessel that could hold the divine power.
‘If it’s an SS+ grade holy relic, I’ll be able to indwell it with the divine < Transcendence > or the divine < fighting spirit >.’
Divine < fighting spirit > or divine < transcendence >.
By enchanting one of the two divinities into a holy relic, the divinity is stacked.
That’s one of the reasons I’ve been trying to find and acquire high-grade relics.
Therefore, if the relic itself had no function, it could be said to be the icing on the cake.
―What is this…
even…
―Getting an SS+ grade relic this way…?
Dam Chun-wu said that as if he was dumbfounded.
―A holy relic that hasn’t even been infused with divinity yet?
It was as if he had seen a fraudster openly cheating in gambling.
But whether it was or not, I didn’t care.
I knew that I would get the holy relic anyway, and getting it was just faster than I thought.
And while I was feeling satisfied, the god of wrath looked at me and spoke to me. 「The god
of wrath breaks out in a cold sweat as he
looks at challenger Han Seong-yoon.」
He
seems to know how to be corrupt .
Contrary to her concerns, she didn’t intend to kill the god of wrath with this.
Of course, just as there is a saying that a mountain is a mountain by gathering dust…
It was regrettable that [transcendence] obtained through the divinity or mythical < possibility of transcendence > that the god of rage had.
However, she still had work to do, so she postponed taking it until later.
“Come to think of it, I have something to ask you…”
He probably would too…
“Are you confident in architecture?”
Isn’t there still something to use in the battlefield of the gods?
[ Is that architecture? ]
“Aren’t you confident?”
[…Ah, it’s not like I don’t know how to do it at all, so how could you ask that—. ]
“That’s it.”
Then I smiled at her and pointed with my thumb to a place in the desert.
chuck-.
“Build it.”
[ …yes? ]
“Build it.”
[ …ah. ]
Only then did you realize what I was talking about?
Before I knew it, the god of wrath looked at me, shaking his eyes violently.
As if he wanted to deny what he had just heard.
But I didn’t have any hesitation.
“If we want to move on from the Battlefield of the Gods to the next area, we have to build a temple here, right?”
It was worth it.
─You have entered the Battlefield of the Gods < #C9-001 >.
─This is a site where numerous holy relics lost by many gods are scattered.
─Condition 1: Build a temple after killing or subduing a certain number of gods.
─Condition 2: Prove your rank by constructing a temple and installing a holy relic that is greater than the one riding on it.
The conditions for clearing Battlefield of the Gods < #C9-001 > are the construction of a temple and the installation of holy relics.
It’s a skill that only gods can do, but I can’t do what ordinary gods can do.
In the first place, unlike ordinary deities, I have only grown up by climbing the tower.
There was no way he was used to building something like a temple like a normal godhead.
So…
“So you guys should build my temple instead.”
[Uh… that sounds like a bit difficult…]
“Don’t say weak things like you can’t.”
[ …. ]
Looking at the god of wrath and many other deities, I said with a smile.
“Because it all sounds like you could die.”
and.
“The god of transcendence and death reveals his dignity while looking at the deities like flies.”
[Okay? ]
next moment.
「The skill ‘Proof of Divinity’ is activated.」 「According to the level of divinity
, a formless pressure is developed outside.」
]
After that, the deities quickly began to build the temple.
***
In the blink of an eye, the gods started building the temple.
He looked so excited as if he could die if he didn’t do it.
Those who can be worshiped in any world cling to mere structures.
Of course, there had to be some who didn’t.
[It’s bitter…! Why do I have to do this?! ]
Shall I say that I uselessly ridicule the subject who is building a temple in compliance with my orders?
[Ugh! I am… Goddess! Why should I build a temple that mere mortals build! ]
However, such dissatisfaction did not last long.
[Keep your mouth shut, you bastard! Where is the non-god in this place! ]
[That’s why we can’t all die together. Just shut up and do it. Well done. ]
[ Hey there! If I get caught making a shrine with my authority, I know I’ll run after you! okay!? ]
That’s also true, because the gods who became sincere in the construction of the temple did so.
Thanks to that, I didn’t even have to put their complaints to rest.
Is this the friendship that sprouts in collaboration?
“It looks efficient.”
And when I nodded my head and spoke as if humming, I heard lamentation in my ears.
―Huh…
It was Damcheonwoo.
―Still, where did the naive guy in his own way go? Only one demon remained here…
“Let’s just say he’s become efficient.”
―….
“Actually, it is.”
But I didn’t even care about what he said.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so naive, but it’s actually because this is the most efficient move.
I don’t know why, but it wasn’t that easy to make a temple of god.
Isn’t that why the deities over there are sweating so much and making the temple with all their heart?
And seeing that, I was able to confirm again that this was the right choice.
‘If I had to build the temple myself without divine authority, my time would have been greatly wasted.’
If the building itself does not contain faith and sincerity, is it not treated as a temple?
The gods, who seemed to know a lot about temples, got very angry if they tried to build a temple roughly.
As if it couldn’t be recognized as a temple because of that.
And in the process, I was able to build theories about temples in my own way while watching the process of building the temples of the gods.
‘I can’t believe that a temple isn’t just about building a building.’
A temple is a kind of collection of beliefs and worship.
If it was built roughly, it could not be recognized as a temple.
If I had tried to establish the temple on a daily basis using a power like the divine < Emperor >, I would have had to go through a lot of trouble.
‘The Battlefield of the Gods is a very annoying place.’
But now it didn’t matter that much.
Anyway, the gods over there will build something like a temple.
So I averted my eyes from there and then looked at the holy relic in my hand, the ‘Jewel of Keeping (SS+)’.
“A holy relic.”
Never before have I created a relic.
So, I briefly thought about what to do to create an alternative holy relic.
However, such wandering thoughts had to disappear as soon as he focused his consciousness on the creation of the holy relic.
‘I think I instinctively know how to make a holy relic.’
Still, was it not in vain that he had risen to the level of an ancient deity?
Before I knew it, I was unconsciously thinking in my head what to do to create the relic.
Perhaps, it will be okay if I engrave the divine < transcendence > or the divine < fighting spirit > on the holy relic ‘Jewel of Preservation (SS+)’.
It’s just…
‘I’m worried.’
If there’s anything wrong with that, it’s only one.
He had to decide which of the divine < transcendence > and the divine < fighting spirit > would be imprinted on the holy relic.
If there is another item like the holy relic ‘Jewel of Preservation (SS+)’, you don’t have to worry about it.
However, in reality, shouldn’t divinity be imprinted on only one holy relic?
“….”
And I was able to decide what to put after thinking for a while.
‘Still, it would be better to just use the divine < fighting spirit >.’
It was worth it.
Although the divinity < transcendence > is a conceptual divinity and is excellent, overlapping them only increases the growth rate.
It will not guarantee victory against the formidable enemy in front of you.
However, on the other hand, the divinity < fighting spirit > was able to raise not only divinity and magic, but also physical abilities to a transcendent level.
So, I did not reverse my decision.
“I think this would be the best option.”
and.
「The authority ‘Divine Power’ is activated and the divine < fighting spirit > is imprinted on the ‘Jewel of Preservation (SS+)’.」
Faaa!
In the blink of an eye, the divinity within the body emits light and is engraved into the holy relic, the ‘Jewel of Preservation (SS+)’.
It looks as if it is undergoing an elaborate engraving process by a craftsman who has reached the pinnacle of technology.
And at the same time, the appearance of the relic ‘Jewel of Keeping (SS+)’ changed.
It’s not different….
Kazijik…!
‘This is…’
The pink jewel turned into a passionate red color.
Also, geometric patterns were engraved on the red jewel.
Not only that, but something else has changed.
That is…
「Jewels with deep fighting spirit」
「Rating: SSS+」
「Only challenger Han Seong-yoon can use them.」
「A jewel that an ancient deity kept her
divinity .」 You can activate the time exclusive effect ‘Will to Fight’.」
「When the exclusive effect ‘Will to Fight’ is activated, divine < fighting spirit > is activated
.」
Like this one.
“It’s fun.”
and.
“I didn’t expect it to turn out as I thought.”
The moment I finished reading the system message about the description of the holy relic in front of me.
「…Limited to one time only, the user can overlap the divinity < fighting spirit > with an external divinity.」
As it was, I couldn’t help but smile.
“This could be used as a last resort.”
That’s a smile full of deep anticipation.
