386. Dimension Competition (2)
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the challenges of many stages ended as soon as they started.
As for a game, should I say it’s like attacking with some kind of cheat key?
Nothing was really different.
「You have cleared the challenges of Dimensional Cradle < Hell Citadel [E-03] >.」
「※ As a reward for completing the challenge, all stats have increased by +10.」
「※ ‘Random Skill Book (B+)’ will be sent to your inventory as a reward for completing the challenge.」
「※ ‘Pure Magic Fragment (B+)’ will be sent to your inventory as a reward for completing the challenge.」
「Go to the next stage.」
The dimension cradle < Hell Citadel [E-03] >, which should have been a difficult dungeon attack, was annihilated without a trace by the black starlight containing the divine < Death >.
“You have cleared the challenges of Dimensional Cradle < Twisted World [E-04] >.”
「※ As a reward for completing the challenge, all stats have increased by +10.」
「※ ‘Piece of Destruction (C-)’ will be sent to your inventory as a reward for completing the challenge.」
「※ ‘Twisted Jewel (C-)’ will be sent to your inventory as a reward for completing the challenge.」
「Go to the next stage.」
The dimensional cradle < Twisted World [E-03] >, where all living things in the world itself must be exterminated, came to an insignificant end just by walking around with the mythical < Incarnation of the End > on.
「You have cleared the challenges of Dimensional Cradle < Grave of the Seven Sages [E-05] >.」
「※ As a reward for completing the challenge, all stats have increased by +10.」
「※ ‘Sage’s Staff (B+)’ will be sent to your inventory as a reward for completing the challenge.」
「※ ‘Sorcerer’s Stone (B+)’ will be sent to your inventory as a reward for completing the challenge.」
「Go to the next stage.」
Somehow, the dimensional cradle < Grave of the Seven Sages [E-05] >, which had quiz-type challenges, was forced to end with the stage itself collapsing without solving a quiz.
It was a perfect attack with only one overwhelming force.
And that’s not all.
“…”
「You have cleared the challenge of Dimensional Cradle < Three Symbols [E-06] >.」
“You have cleared the challenges of Dimensional Cradle < Space-Time Distortion World [E-07] >…”
“You have cleared the challenges of the Dimensional Cradle < Andras' Treasure House [E-08] >…”
Numerous stage challenges in the dimensional cradle end in vain.
Stages are forcibly attacked by the power of only one person.
Chen Shaoling laughed inwardly when he saw that.
‘What.’
It was worth it.
Bondi, she once witnessed Han Seong-yoon’s power on Earth.
She was able to see Han Seong-yoon because of her affair with the Celestial Church.
And that’s not all of her, she followed Lee Ha-yeon’s suggestion and even worshiped Han Seong-yoon to some extent, so she believed in Han Seong-yoon’s strength.
‘What the hell is this…’
however….
‘Is this really something a single challenger can accomplish…?’
Even so, the strength of Han Seong-yoon that Chen Shaoling knew was not that strong.
In fact, the power of Han Seong-yoon that Chen Shaoling saw on Earth was at the same level as ‘the world’s strongest’.
It should have been said that it was not at a level where the world itself could be destroyed or the stage prepared by the tower controlled by a certain system could be forcibly destroyed.
‘Is that really a person?’
But…
A lot has changed this time.
Han Seong-yoon destroyed even the world itself casually and drove everything to destruction.
It was as if they hadn’t really fought sincerely until now.
“…”
Looking at Han Seong-yoon’s motionless back, her body trembled.
It was the thrill of an overwhelming force.
Chen Shaoling no longer thought of Han Sungyoon as the world’s strongest or the earth’s strongest.
That would be too…
‘monster….’
Because that man in front of me might be the strongest in the universe.
Chen Shaoling no longer put Han Seongyun in the human category.
She just quietly accepted that Han Seong-yoon was a god-like being.
That means one thing.
「※He is perfectly followed by the strongest people at the top of the earth level.」
「※ Faith harvest efficiency greatly increases.」
Not different…
「※A certain amount of faith has been harvested at the Earth level, and you have been qualified to become a god of Earth.」
「※When the qualifications to become the god of Earth are more perfectly met than now, you will acquire the Divine < Earth >.」
earth.
Originally, a world where no one had an owner…
Now it was about to meet the moment when it fell into the hands of an ancient deity.

Before I knew it, I saw the system messages appearing in my field of view while feeding blood to the blood demon sword inside a bloody citadel.
「You have cleared the challenges of Dimensional Cradle < Bloody Festival [E-09] >.」
「※ As a reward for completing the challenge, all stats have increased by +10.」
「※ As a reward for completing the challenge, ‘Vampire Lord’s Robe (SS+)’ will be sent to your inventory.」
「Go to the next stage.」
have already come here
After clearing the challenge of the ninth stage in an instant, I felt proud.
But even that didn’t last long.
For some reason, this time the portal to the next stage didn’t appear, even though I cleared the challenges given in the Cradle of Dimensions stage.
“…”
“< 23:59:59 > left before moving to the next stage.”
“Until then, prepare for the challenges of the next stage.”
“Prepare…”
At that, I clicked my tongue and frowned.
‘Doesn’t this mean that I can’t do anything until I go to the next stage?’
It was natural.
At least that means I have nothing to do for the day.
It made me feel bad because it meant that rapid progress was no longer possible within the dimensional cradle.
‘uh?’
But that is only for a moment.
「※He is perfectly followed by the strongest people at the top of the earth level.」
「※ Faith harvest efficiency greatly increases.」
next moment.
「※A certain amount of faith has been harvested at the Earth level, and you have been qualified to become a god of Earth.」
「※When the qualifications to become the god of Earth are more perfectly met than now, you will acquire the Divine < Earth >.」
I opened my eyes wide at the newly appeared system message.
“What is this again?”
It was worth it.
‘To be qualified to become the god of Earth…’
Doesn’t this look like a very sudden change?
In fact, all I did was break through the stages of the Dimensional Cradle, so it was all the more so.
Suddenly, system messages appeared, and I even felt a sense of difference as I wondered if I could get the divine < Earth > if I met more qualifications to become the god of the earth.
“…”
but for a while.
‘ah….’
Before I knew it, I was able to notice why those system messages appeared before my eyes.
—-※ You are perfectly followed by the strongest people in the top ranks in the earth dimension.
‘…For some reason, I think I now understand why I’m getting closer to acquiring the divine < Earth >.’
It was.
From this side’s point of view, they may have simply attacked the stages of the Dimension Cradle, but the challengers from Earth here will not.
He probably had feelings close to worship as he watched me attack the stages in the dimensional cradle…
It is truly an unexpected harvest.
‘Is this perfect worship?’
Only then did I feel the faith welling up in my body.
“…”
however….
Rather than genuinely admiring the faith that swells in my body, I was lost in thought.
The system message said that the efficiency of faith increased because challengers from Earth worshiped this side perfectly.
‘Is it worship?’
Then, what are the conditions for worship?
After thinking about it for a while, the result that came out was really simple.
Worship is faith, and faith is faith in me.
Belief in this side’s power also falls under the category of faith.
It’s just that the perfect worship that the system message says requires more faith than you can imagine.
‘Now I understand.’
At that, I raised my head and glanced away to see the challengers from Earth each taking a break.
In fact, they didn’t do anything because I forcibly cleared all the challenges in the Dimensional Cradle, but they were all very tired from being exposed to some of the remnants of this side’s revealed power.
Looking at it, I drew a confident look.
‘The divine < Earth > can only be obtained when the people on Earth worship me perfectly.’
Should I call this enlightenment?
I just realized a very simple reason belatedly.
The fact that if this side wants to acquire the divine < Earth >, it must be perfectly worshiped by the people on Earth.
“…”
Of course, I have no intention of forcing worship on Earth.
‘It’s not in my nature to ask the Earth to worship me like a threat.’
At most, it was all the more so because I hadn’t been in the ranks of the ancient gods for a long time.
Persecuting mortals like the gods I’ve seen while climbing the tower is not what I want.
Even if the mind is contaminated to some extent due to the concept divinity, I know that it is not normal to want it.
‘What should I do with this?’
But…
Acquisition of the divine < Earth > itself was something that appealed to him, so he was greedy.
To put it bluntly, the divine < Earth > is a divinity that this side has rarely acquired.
‘It’s the right choice to acquire the divine < Earth >, but I can’t harm others with it.’
Then what is the answer?
‘There’s no way at all.’
It was simple.
‘…Just as I won the worship of the challengers from Earth based on my overwhelming strength, I should do the same for the people of Earth.’
Only overwhelming force can solve everything.
It was like an immutable truth that could be used in any situation.
After all, isn’t this side already feeling the need to exercise their skills on Earth?
‘Should I reveal the power of an ancient deity?’
There were even opponents to show their strength.
‘Haha, as long as the god of despair, fall, and madness survives, he will continue to invade Earth.’
God of despair, fall and madness.
The monster, the most heterogeneous of the ancient deities, covets my power and has its eyes on the earth.
Considering that, there will be a battle with that ancient deity at some point in the not-too-distant future.
If that’s the case, it’s no different than a matter that has already been decided for me to show off the power of the ancient deity on Earth.
‘Is the timing set to reveal the power of the ancient deity?’
I had a smile on my lips and a twinkle in my eyes.
‘It’s something I’m really looking forward to.’
Somehow, now I’m starting to look forward to the showdown with the Ancient Godhead.
***
Before I knew it, I opened my inventory, feeling my heart pounding pleasantly with anticipation.
It’s also a habit to check if you’ve got a reward…
Even if that wasn’t the case, there was a waiting time before entering the next stage of the Dimensional Cradle, so there was nothing to do.
‘It would be better to do what I have to do when I have plenty of time.’
This time, I felt the need to sort things out because I got quite a lot of rewards by clearing the stages of the cradle of dimensions.
“…”
There wasn’t anything too difficult about it.
It’s just annoying to determine which of the rewards in the inventory are useful.
And after examining the rewards in the inventory in detail, I soon found that only a couple of items were useful.
“Dimensional Travel Stone”
「Rating: A+」
「A special jewel that can travel to another dimension made in the tower.」
「It becomes possible to select a certain dimension and move there without any penalty.」
「However, after activating the exclusive effect of the item, a cooldown of 10 years occurs.」
Originally, I was wondering how the challenger from the other world did what to get to the Earth, which is protected by the tower, without penalty…
‘Should I call this a prediction hit?’
It looks like a challenger from another world came to Earth without penalty using the purple jewel in front of him.
‘This means that at least there will be 30 challengers in each world who can use this…’
It’s not just winning the Dimensional Cradle event, it’s a stage attack to get something like this.
“Really…”
At that, I quietly clenched my fists and smiled lightly.
Perhaps the Tower hopes to increase hostile battles through the Dimension Cradle event…
Isn’t that what happens when the events of the dimension cradle are in general?
“It’s fun.”
As long as this side is guarding, the earth is not in danger.
‘In a nutshell, this means that I can go to a place like Moorim, too, doesn’t it?’
Not even that.
‘I definitely got something good.’
Since I originally intended to go to Murim, the ‘Dimensional Travel Stone (A+)’ will be of great help to our plan.
As it was, I roughly put the ‘Dimensional Travel Stone (A+)’ in my inventory and then looked at the other newly acquired equipment.
Not different…
“Vampire Lord’s Vestments”
「Rating: SS+」
「Magic circulation +100%」
「Movement speed +30%」
「Divine resistance +30%」
「Magic Resistance +30%」
「It is one of the special ceremonial clothes passed down from ancient times that only the vampire lord can wear.」
「When equipped, the exclusive effect ‘transformation’ can be activated.」
「The user can change the clothes as desired, and the clothes themselves have self-consciousness, so they assist and follow the will of the owner.」
「When worn, the exclusive effect ‘Blood Spirit Protection’ can be activated.」
「As the user desires, it consumes the blood in the body to form the highest level of protection to block external attacks.」
“Awesome.”
This black suit-like ‘Vampire Lord’s Robe (SS+)’ in front of him was a reward beyond imagination.
‘Indeed, each exclusive effect is at an amazing level.’
The level of performance was completely different from the ‘Vampire Count’s Tailcoat (A-)’, which can create a protective shield with blood according to the will of this side.
no.
If this is the case, should I say it’s a higher compatibility with the ‘Vampire Count’s tailcoat (A-)’ I use?
In fact, even if you look at the exclusive effect ‘Blood Spirit Protection’ in ‘Vampire Lord’s Robe (SS+)’, the shield itself is better.
“Then there’s no need to wear the Vampire Count’s tailcoat anymore.”
In response, I immediately changed into the Vampire Lord’s robe, followed by the Vampire Count’s tailcoat and other equipment remaining in the inventory with a handful of stats.
「The skill ‘Steel Feed’ is activated.」
Knick-knack-.
“Complete absorption.”
“Muscle strength increases by 1.”
“Your physical strength increases by 2.”
“Durability increases by 1.”
「Magic power increases by 2.」
Of course, not all stat increases are so great.
In fact, I already have a chance to fight a high-ranking deity with just my physical ability.
And that wasn’t enough, after clearing the stages in the Dimension Cradle nine times, all stats increased by +90, so the increase in stats had to be even smaller.
‘Even if I try to eat high-grade items with steel eating, my growth won’t be that great anymore.’
It’s been a while since I felt a little regret about it.
“Time is over.”
“It’s time to move on to the next stage.”
「The next stage will be a multi-dimensional competition.」
“Prepare for a large-scale battle.”
Now it was time to go see the end of the dimensional cradle.
