413. Upper class (5)
In fact, it is not unexpected at all.
Originally, the Tower of Trials should have selected and treated those who possessed divinity or had the potential to have divinity among numerous challengers.
Not to mention, the Tower of Trials has had a different interest from other candidates since the time when its power was extremely large.
Incredibly.
‘Roughly, I knew that the Tower of Trials had some restrictions or tricks on me, but…’
I already knew about that.
In addition to that, the Tower of Trials has even attempted forced intervention several times, endlessly assessing the value I have and the risk in contrast to it.
So, I already noticed that the Tower of Trials must have placed one or two restrictions on this side.
‘Wasn’t that the only thing…’
But nevertheless, I couldn’t hide my bewilderment as I watched the banquet of system messages filling my eyes.
「….」
「The Tower of Trials will release the exclusive permission #F-114[Allow Divine Intervention]」
「The Tower of Trials will release the exclusive permission #F-224[Block entry to the hierarchy]… ”
“The Tower of Trials grants exclusive authority #F-337 [trial subject limited]…”
It was an unexpected situation.
“…”
It was just like that.
Even if I expected that the Tower of Trials would put some restrictions on this side, it was just a general level.
I had never even imagined that I would be suffering from penalties close to dozens or more.
“What…”
That’s why I was shocked.
“That’s ridiculous…”
It’s not even that.
Each of those numerous penalties must be fatal to the challenger.
At this point, it’s a level where the Tower of Trials should be seen as letting this side die.
And accordingly, I recalled one of the first system messages I had seen and laughed out loud.
– The Trial Difficulty [700%] increase multiplier limit by the exclusive authority #F-121 [Trial Difficulty Multiplier] of the Tower of Trials will disappear.
‘…Yeah, I thought the difficulty of the ordeal increased exponentially every time I climbed the tower of trials, so that’s why.’
Doesn’t that mean that each time this side climbed the Tower of Trials, it built up a hellish level of difficulty different from others?
‘…It’s just that the Tower of Trials openly made it impossible to clear the trials any more, so it’s fair to say that they tried to kill me by stopping me.’
Also very well.
‘I didn’t know that they gave me so many penalties, but…’
I felt a slight dizziness before I knew it and sighed.
“What the hell did you do to me…”
It was the worst.
The ordeal difficulty increase multiplier, divine power intervention allowed, hierarchical intrusion blocked, ordeal topics limited…
Even if this side died due to the numerous penalties, it would not have been so strange.
‘…I think I know why the Tower of Trials put so many restrictions on me.’
step-.
‘…There is a high possibility that the numerous penalties imposed by the Tower of Trials were a ploy in preparation for some kind of accident that was prepared to exclude me at any time.’
That was it.
‘Because I would have decided to determine if I could be replaced with something like the Battlefield of the Gods or Pacheonhwang, and throw it away if I no longer need it.’
Know.
Originally, the Tower of Trials must have had the idea of scrapping this side based on the numerous penalties.
To put it bluntly, the Tower of Trials was most likely intended to waste time by making it difficult for me to go up to a higher floor.
“…doesn’t need to worry about it.”
But isn’t it now?
“Anyway, it’s in the past now.”
It’s just that it’s just a gobi of the past that has already been over now, so I’m just prioritizing what I have to do on my own.
“Right now, only one fact matters.”
And…
“That the forced intervention by the Tower of Trials will not be so great anymore.”
I was curious about it.”
In other words…
“The number of penalties that the Tower of Ordeals placed so that this side could no longer go up to higher floors have been
lifted .” Isn’t it important that everything is initialized, even the forced magnification setting?
“There was a need to experience for oneself what kind of change it brought about in climbing the Tower of Trials.
“So…”
And-.
“Let’s see.”
The moment I enter the next trial, hoping that I will climb the tower of trials again.
“What level will the next ordeal be without the numerous penalties imposed by the Tower of Trials?”
In an instant, the space beyond the field of vision changed.
「…」
「Enter the 28th floor of the Tower of Trials.」
「Difficulty – Hard」
「The subject of the ordeal is ‘Indigenous Divinity’.
」
It was chilly.
Shall we call it an environment close to snowy mountains or icy areas?
A mere ordinary person can’t even see an inch ahead, and the heavy snow is raging incessantly.
And then I realized that I was standing in a snowy field with a large snowy mountain in front of me.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo-.
Not even that.
Before I knew it, I was feeling the most bizarre divine wave from that snowy mountain beyond where I was standing.
After seeing it, I couldn’t help but frown as if I couldn’t understand it after I finished grasping the wavelength of a certain divinity.
「Start the 28th floor ordeal.」
「Time remaining – 1 month」
「Trial breakthrough condition – Kill the native deity ‘Guardian of the Snowy Mountain’ before it destroys the world」
「Trial failure condition – Challenger’s death or remaining time End”
“Trial Breakthrough Reward – White Mana Essence (S+)”
“Trial Failure Penalty – Death”
“…”
Of course.
“Indigenous deity…”
The system message that appeared in front of my eyes, and the remnants of power flowing from the divinity’s wavelength, let me know what level of enemy this side had to deal with.
“Is that the clearing condition of the ordeal…”
It was a purely irritating enemy.
“under.”
That’s…
“I feel disappointed that the god of transcendence and death has to deal with an insignificant enemy.”
[—Something like that? ]
It’s really because that’s a weak prey that’s not even worth coveting.
***
Indigenous deity.
I have already seen this side once while climbing the Tower of Trials.
Perhaps they were the ones who exercised divine supernormal abilities while rooted in the world itself.
They were so weak that they were not even comparable to a mere formal deity or a higher deity.
“under.”
So…
“Annoying.”
no time consuming
After all, such a native deity would be prey not even worth coveting.
Even if they are enemies of a high rank or a formal god level, they are opponents who do not even send a message when they come face to face.
“The god of transcendence and death calmly bids death to a small creature seen over the snowy mountain.”
[You. ]
and-.
「Divinity < Words > are used.」
「You can consume divine power to exert verbal influence on the real world.」 「
However, a lot of divine power is consumed when you use words that interfere with the laws of the world.」
《 Hurry up and waste your time. don’t die 》
Next moment.
───!
In an instant, black divine light poured out.
Before I knew it, this side had been sentenced to death based on the divine < words > and the divine < death >.
In the blink of an eye, the supernatural powers of divinity mixed with each other, crushing the entire snowy mountain beyond and extinguishing it.
It’s also very neat.
Crunchy-.
That was it.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-.
In fact, the enemy’s presence disappeared before even seeing the appearance of the enemy, who said that this was the native deity ‘Guardian of the Snow Mountain’.
“I’m glad I was able to finish it without wasting time.”
That means one thing.
“It’s neat.”
It was simple.
「…」
「Absorbed the spirit of the native deity ‘Guardian of Snow Mountain’.」
「Absorbed the spirit fragment ‘■■■[1/3]’.」
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon wins against the native deity and [ It is 0.003% closer to [transcendence].」
All of a sudden, the native deity ‘Guardian of the Snowy Mountain’ died due to the supernormal abilities of the divinity < Soul Spirit > and the divinity < Death > written by this side.
[…]
[The mastery of the unique attribute ‘Necromancy’ increases by 0.01%.]
System messages appeared in front of my eyes, but they were not very valuable.
Killing one of the indigenous deities would not be able to acquire a new divinity, increase the supernormal ability of the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >, or necromancy.
I just look at the trials clear messages one by one in the snowy field where my eyes are slowly closing as if I have no interest anymore.
「…」
「Congratulations, you have broken through the 28th floor of the Tower of Trials.」 「
As a breakthrough reward, ‘White Mana Essence (S+)’ will be sent to your inventory.」
「You have acquired ‘1000000 Points’ as a breakthrough reward. 」
「You acquired ‘70000 SP’ as a breakthrough reward.」
「As an additional breakthrough reward, the ‘Frozen Wind Baton (A-)’ will be transferred to your inventory.」 「
Go to the waiting room.」
“It’s just that.”
It was ambiguous.
Originally, the Tower of Trials was supposed to give out rewards in proportion to the difficulty level of the trials.
It must have been a pretty good reward for killing just one native deity, but it’s not particularly satisfying.
「…」
「Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward] is activated.」
「The reward level increases with exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase reward].」
「Reward for breaking through 28th floor, white ‘Mana Essence (S+)’ is enhanced with ‘Snowflake Mana Essence (SS+)’.」
「Additional breakthrough reward on the 28th floor, ‘Frozen Wind Baton (A-)’ is changed to ‘Frozen Storm Baton (S-)’ It will be strengthened.」
But that’s for a while.
“If the Tower of Trials doesn’t work around, then the level of difficulty suitable for me in this floor is only 2.”
Realized.
At this point, I had a sense of what level of trials I would have faced if the Tower of Trials had not ruled out this side based on numerous penalties.
Even if it was a native god or a highly worthy enemy, he would have faced only weak enemies at the level of a formal god.
“Not particularly pleasant.”
There is no time to waste.
Well, isn’t it not too long before this side can face the three ancient gods on the side of the pantheon, and the god of despair, fall, and madness somewhere in this universe.
In order to get what he wanted for himself, no matter how many times he cleared this level of trials, it didn’t seem like there would be an answer.
“But…”
Dan-.
“I did have a rough income.”
That was it.
“That I can clear the trials given by the Tower of Trials without wasting any more time.”
In fact, as the number of floors in the tower goes up, the difficulty of the trials also increases exponentially.
“Then it would be simple.”
in other words-.
“It was about time to go.”
All you have to do is reach a high floor level where you can get the level of compensation you want.
“-A place called the top layer of the Tower of Trials.”
very quickly too.
