421. Chapter of choice (3)
It was an unexpected answer.
‘…You don’t know anything about the Tower of Trials and the law of cause and effect?’
It was worth it.
There is no way that strong people who are at the level of a high-ranking deity, such as the god of proof, are ignorant of the Tower of Trials and the law of causality.
Because the Tower of Trials is a transcendental structure that forcibly restricts all deities in the universe to act according to the law of creation called causality.
So it was difficult to understand.
‘…I didn’t deliberately lie or evasive.’
From the beginning until now, that god of proof has never lied, either directly or indirectly.
「The skill ‘Fire Dragon’s Eye’ sees through that the other person’s words are not false.”
Not to mention, even though I used the skill I had to check whether the other person’s words and actions were true, nothing changed.
‘…Actually, that god of proof doesn’t know at all what the Tower of Trials is and what the law of causation is.’
What that meant was fixed.
‘in other words-.’
It’s not different-.
‘-It could be considered the time period when the Tower of Trials didn’t even appear.’
In the first place, the background of the era of this stage itself is before the transcendental structure called the Tower of Trials appeared.
‘Actually, the war of the gods itself didn’t even need justification…’
There was no Tower of Trials and no system of causality, the law of creation, so there was nothing strange about what the gods did with each other.
‘Unlike modern times, this is the heyday of the gods, where no divinity is subject to any restrictions because there is no tower of trials or causality, the law of creation.’
Whether the gods destroy an entire planet or gain faith by dominating countless mortals below, there will be no sanctions.
‘It must be really close to a lawless zone.’
It was not difficult to guess what it would mean to the many worlds and mortals in this universe.
“…”
Dan-.
“If you don’t know the Tower of Trials and the law of causality, you don’t have to answer any more.”
Anyway, even if you think about what kind of hell this side of the universe is spreading out, you won’t come out with any answer, so there was no need to be deeply immersed in thought.
“At this point, it seems that I have gotten the answer I want to some extent.”
At that, I opened my eyes narrowly and let out a calm, sunken gaze.
“At least in the story of the Tower of Trials or the law of causality, there is nothing more curious.”
It was sincere.
This side should have already been convinced that the Trial Stage on the 36th floor is the time when the Tower of Trials did not appear.
As a result, I realized that it would be meaningless to ask the god of proof more about the Tower of Trials or the law of causality.
[ …hmm. I’m sorry. It’s the first time I’ve heard of it, so I don’t know anything about it. I don’t think I gave you an answer worthy of your last name. ]
The God of Proof said as if he was sorry that he couldn’t give a proper answer to the story he said.
[…but I know quite a bit about the war of the gods, so if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. ]
At this point, he seems to have realized that the God of Proof would not be able to give meaningful answers to stories like the Tower of Trials or the law of cause and effect.
“hmm.”
In fact, even if it wasn’t, I wondered what kind of people would reign as ancient gods in the time period that seemed before the Tower of Trials was created.
“Then can you tell us how the war of the gods took place and which of the ancient deities participated in it?”
and.
[…Is it when the war of the gods started? ]
Before I knew it, I spoke of the story of the enemy when the war of the gods had begun, frowning as if feeling the shallow anger and displeasure of the proof.
[ …the beginning is-. ]
Slowly but powerfully.
[-It was an unexpected trap. ]
The god of proof spoke with his dark eyes shining as if reflecting memories of the past in his clear eyes like a mirror.
[ …Ten years ago, when numerous gods in this universe gathered on one planet to coordinate the jurisdiction of each god, a confrontation system consisting of that divine realm unfolded and was trapped. ]
The god of proof continued as if he disapproved of every single thing that happened in the past.
[Not to mention, even those ancient deities who were praised as the rulers of this universe were no different. ]
and-.
[Not only the gods of darkness, demons, and dragons called Cheonoecheon, but also other people such as the god of time, the god of permanence, and the god of arrogance are also trapped here. ]
It was then.
[It was not different from the three ancient deities, who are called representatives of the orderly faction that caused the war of the gods to the sacred realm and to the confrontation. ]
The moment the god of proof looks at him and then licks his lips.
[The god of creation, the god of law, and the god of miracles. ]
I had a hunch.
[Those who preside over and handle high-level concepts of divine < creation >, divine < laws >, and divine < miracle >, respectively. ]
It’s nothing else-.
[The war of the gods is a fight that will not end until the three ancient gods achieve their goal or are defeated. ]
War of the Gods. The story of the Tower of Trials and the time period
when the causal law did
not exist anywhere in the universe .
***
Is it a coincidence or is it inevitable?
“….”
I have never forgotten the list of conceptual divinities that the Tower of Trials once saw as the ‘Brilliant Divinity Catalogue (SSS+)’.
-….
-1000. ‘Divinity < Creation >‘ :: [Owner] :: [Tower of Trials]
ㅁ1001. ‘Divine < Law >‘ :: [Owner] :: [Tower of Trials]
ㅁ1002. ‘Divine < Miracle >‘ :: [Owner] :: [Tower of Trials]
Of course.
‘Divine < creation > and divine < law > and divine < miracle >…’
Is that why?
‘It’s no longer at a level that can be dismissed as an illusion or coincidence.’
Somehow, it felt more like an inevitability than a coincidence that the deities of the Tower of Trials had the same names as the deities of the three ancient deities.
‘There is a high possibility that the existence of the three ancient deities, the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles, are related to the Tower of Trials.’
Surely.
‘Then…’
And-.
‘This-.’
The moment I tried to quickly continue my thoughts.
“I express that the god of proof has told you everything he has to say.”
[ …This is the story I can tell you. ]
Suddenly hearing the divine voice uttered by the god of proof, I raised my head.
[ …Actually, explaining this story to you is also very strange. ]
Before I knew it, the god of proof was smiling with his eyes narrowed as if he was interested.
[It can be said that all the gods in this universe participated in the war of the gods, and it was no different from the ancient gods who were the rulers of this universe. ]
As it is, the god of proof continued with a lot of interest.
[Moreover, on this planet where the war of the gods takes place, there is a sacred barrier that no one of the ancient deities can escape from, and external intrusion is close to impossible. ]
Unlike earlier when I didn’t know anything about the war of the gods, it’s easy to understand because now I’ve been explained to some extent by the god of proof.
[So ask. ]
Nothing else….
[Where are you from? ]
“…”
At some point, this god of proof realized to some extent that this was an ancient deity that did not originally exist in this universe.
‘It’s embarrassing.’
At that, I slowly raised the divinity in my body while holding a bitter smile on my lips.
‘I never thought it would have been so suspicious to reveal that I knew nothing about the War of the Gods.’
Even if that god of proof does not have hostile intentions towards me, if I have more doubts about this side than this, variables may arise.
‘Should I handle it?’
To put it bluntly, there is no need to keep the god of proof alive, but rather to cut off his breath right away to prevent unexpected situations from occurring.
‘There’s no need to hesitate in the first place.’
It’s up to you to decide which one is the smart choice.
‘At most, that god of proof is a fake that is infinitely closer to the real thing.’
In an instant, based on the divinity < Death > and the divinity < Lord of Words >, the power to unknowingly kill an opponent is secretly concentrated.
Swoop.
But…
[You don’t seem to have any intention of answering where you came from or why you came here, so I’ll change the question. ]
Actually, this side didn’t activate the Divine < Death > and the Divine < Lord of Words >.
[You seem to have come here without even knowing what this war of the gods is like, so it can be said that you do not belong to any camp, right? ]
“….”
[ One suggestion. ]
“?”
A strange thing happened.
[Actually, I don’t really like it, but it turns out that I’m also one of the deities who belonged to the orderly camp. ]
Before I knew it, the god of proof handed me an interesting proposal with a smile on his face.
[From the standpoint of wanting the war of the gods to end as quickly as possible, it would be great if an ancient deity like you joined the orderly camp. ]
Really…
“The God of Proof looks at you with expectant eyes.”
[Would you like to join the orderly camp? ]
It was an unexpected proposal.
***
Orderly faction.
As the God of Proof said earlier, he should have said that it was a group represented by three ancient deities: the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles.
Hearing the proposal from the God of Proof before I knew it, I changed my mind instead of activating the supernormal abilities of the Divine < Death > and the Divine < Spirit >.
“Could that be scouting me?”
[That’s right. Depending on which camp an ancient deity like you joins, the battle will change in an instant. Whatever the case, I don’t want to leave you alone. ]
“Does that mean it’s no different even if it’s a being that I can’t even guess where I came from?”
[ well. It doesn’t seem that important, at least to me. If we can end the war of the gods, it doesn’t matter where someone like you came from. So what about it? ]
“….”
and then.
“If you answer one question, I will listen to it and then decide.”
[ ? ]
“What benefits do I get by joining the side of order in the War of the Gods?”
[ …The god of creation and the ancient deities gathered around her said they would make one thing they wanted according to their respective contributions. ]
The trouble was not long.
[ …whatever it is. ]
I know what it means to create something that those who possess divine < creation >, divine < laws > and divine < miracle > wish for.
“- I will accept.”
That’s very certain.
