426. War of the Gods (3)
The cornerstone has been laid.
It is now clear that the three ancient deities and the Tower of Trials are deeply related in some way.
The answer will come on its own over time.
I couldn’t rule out the possibility that I would get into trouble by asking more than this, so I just postponed listening to the answer until later.
‘I know for sure that the three ancient deities are deeply intertwined with the Tower of Trials, so I just need to take my time and slowly figure out what happened.’
Of course, I felt some regret.
It’s not common to face someone who can dispel all the doubts you’ve accumulated while climbing the Tower of Trials.
To be honest, if I could hear the story I wanted from the God of Creation, no matter where I was, I wanted to leave it at least an irrational number.
But it couldn’t be.
‘If I just openly ask about the things I want to know without thinking, I can notice something from me over there.’
This might be a one-time chance to find out what the inside story is in the Tower of Trials.
If you act rashly and nervously, you don’t know what variables will eventually lead to mistakes.
It was confirmed that there is a high possibility that those who are still called the three ancient deities have not made direct contact with the Tower of Trials, so the minimum goal has been achieved.
‘For now, it would be best to observe the situation in the war of the gods while hiding what I want.’
Even the condition to clear the 36th floor ordeal given by the Tower of Trials was to ‘survive until the end of the War of the Gods’, so there was no particular reason to fret.
‘There’s still plenty of time left.’
It was all the more so because I had already come this far and heard from the god of proof how much the war of the gods had progressed. Of course
, I haven’t heard much in- depth information like how the war of the gods is going or where the ancient deities are.
There won’t be too much time.
‘The other side won’t ask me anything anymore.’
Not to mention, even the god of creation seemed to be willing to appropriately pass over the somewhat suspiciousness or sense of alienation, as if he desperately wanted me to add strength to the order camp.
‘Let’s aim for the next opportunity while participating in the war of the gods.’
Then there is no reason to continue the boring conversation.
“There is no need to waste time.”
At that, I prepared to go to the battlefield with a cool smile on my lips.
“The Western Front. A place where not only high-ranking deities, but also the demons’ households are gathered. Just tell me where it is and I’ll go right away.”
Hearing this, the God of Creation nodded lightly and responded with a very pleased expression.
“The God of Creation is pleased with your cooperation.”
[ …That’s good. I like your assertiveness. It’s comfortable because I don’t have to wear quads. I’ll attach one of the higher deities on the Western Front as your guide. ]
As if he hadn’t expected that this side would move as smoothly as he wanted without any complaints.
[I’ve made arrangements so that you can get out fairly close to the western front when you leave the sacred realm. After that, you just have to go to the western front according to the guidance of the higher godhead. ]
One, and that for a while.
Tsutsutsu…!!
In an instant, a gigantic stone gate connecting space to space appeared in the middle of the divine realm < Model Garden >.
[Now, since I honestly answered the question you asked and promised a proper reward by using the supernatural ability of the divine, I hope that you will be active. ]
Perhaps, by going out through that great stone gate, one could enter the vicinity of the Western Front.
“I was thinking of doing that even if you didn’t say that in the first place.”
To that, I replied bluntly, opening the huge stone gate in the middle of the divine realm < model garden >.
“Depending on what you achieve, you have the opportunity to reap more rewards than you can imagine, so why not work hard?”
Ku-gu-gu-gu-.
“It’s just enough for you to hide well here like you did until now.”
and.
“Then let’s see later…”
The moment he was about to go out through the huge stone gate, warming up as if he was frowning.
—To God, life is nothing more than a bug.
…Suddenly, I remembered what I had said to someone who did not know who the god of creation was.
——God is only blinded by greed for faith. They don’t care about nobody in the world. If I can gain faith, I will do anything.
I don’t know why, but when I remembered her words that burned with great hostility toward the gods, it felt like grains of sand were rolling in my mouth.
“Somehow, I just remembered one more question…”
Was that why?
“What do you think about gods and mortals?”
As it is, before participating in the war of the gods in earnest, I asked a question without expecting too much.
[ …hmm. what to do I don’t have to answer you now. Well, you should have asked me earlier when you had the chance to ask me anything. ]
“Really? Then you don’t have to answer. Well, I was just a little curious about what they thought of gods and mortals. Then go now.”
He must have asked that because he didn’t even have to care much about whatever answer the god of creation gave.
[I don’t have any particular thoughts. ]
But…
[It’s just that the gods are the ones who get in the way of what I want, and the mortals don’t deserve much attention, except for those who can gain faith. ]
Somehow, despite the question I asked without thinking, she unexpectedly gave a proper answer.
[Doesn’t the gods generally think that way? […]
Torsion emanates from somewhere.
[The gods each other only argue about whether or not to rule which planet, and they ignore the opinions of mortals who have already lived on the planet for a long time, as if it’s okay. ]
In her reply, a mixture of disgust, contempt, and hatred was indelibly buried.
[That’s it. ]
Is that why?
“…”
After hearing that, I didn’t answer and moved my steps again as if I had heard a trivial story, but my intentions were different.
Beok beok-.
It was ominous.
—So, I need an existence that can kill all gods.
…Somehow, it seemed that there was a hidden purpose behind the war of the gods, which was the greatest scale of slaughter, unlike external causes and practical interests.
——Also, an omnipotent and omnipotent transcendent with power that surpasses all gods.
It’s also very twisted.
***
Chak-.
In the blink of an eye, I landed in an unknown forest in the sacred realm < Model Garden >.
“Is this here?”
As soon as possible, he calmed down the thoughts rising from the depths of his heart and looked around while holding back his divinity.
‘I should have said that I would send a higher deity to guide me to the western front…’
According to the original creation god, there had to be a higher deity to guide me this way.
‘I can’t feel the presence of a high-ranking deity anywhere.’
Even if this side’s divinity or mana was hidden so that the enemies wouldn’t discover it, so the sensing ability was weakened.
“…”
and then.
‘I thought the western front would be in a place not too far from here.’
That means one thing.
‘Then it becomes simpler.’
It’s nothing else…
‘Because there’s a high possibility that something happened on the Western Front itself that couldn’t send even a single high-ranking deity here.’
In fact, it can be seen as meaning that an emergency has occurred on the Western Front in the War of the Gods.
───.
As a result, I quickly expanded my sensing area to the far beyond, raising my bodily sensations perfectly.
‘I can feel it.’
The pure senses that had spread beyond this nameless and unidentified forest at some point grasped the reactions of countless living beings and the waves of divine power.
‘Divine power. until mana and magi. where it leads from where Each one is clear.’
Currently, the high-ranking deities belonging to the chaos camp and those presumed to be the descendants of demons are constantly pushing the high-ranking deities who seem to belong to the order camp.
‘Did the Western Front itself come to the brink of being swallowed up by the
Chaos Camp?
“I never thought I would see enemies spread out like this as soon as I came to the Western Front.”
But for this one, it wasn’t bad.
“At this point, it’s not an appropriate level for a basic warm-up and test, but it’s full of kicks.”
obviously.
“They said it was the beginning of the era…”
If I had to ask, should I say that as soon as I went on an overseas trip and got off at a tourist destination, all sorts of restaurants and tourist attractions seemed to be scattered on the street?
“The Tower of Trials is an era that is no different from the heyday of the gods.”
Even with the original power of the Tower of Trials, there are strong people like ancient deities and higher deities who should have been impossible to imitate.
“I want to fight each and every one of them.”
Although they are a kind of imitations made by the Tower of Trials, in any case, the Remegeton given by the Demon God gave them power infinitely closer to the real thing.
“How much would it be worth hunting for?”
Even if the demon said with a nuance that Remegeton would not be able to activate the supernatural powers of necromancy and the mythical < Possibility of Transcendence >, it would be a different story if I added my supernatural powers to making a replica of the Tower of Trials.
“That’s pretty much expected anyway.”
It won’t be long before we know if we can activate the supernormal ability of necromancy or the mythical “Possibility of Transcendence” against the fake god created by the Tower of Trials.
Jijijijijijijijik-!
【A folding whirlpool】
“—Should we go?”
Because I have no intention of putting off knowing the answer this time.
***
War of the Gods.
In an unprecedented slaughter battle waged by the three ancient deities, the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles, the two camps were advancing and retreating repeatedly.
The two factions, now called the Order Camp and the Chaos Camp respectively, were busy opening the road to their respective bases.
[ ha ha ha…!! They really are like worms!! How could I not realize that even a wolf is helpless in front of the god-king I saw! ]
[ Everyone, don’t hesitate-! Didn’t the great devil even help his family in punishing those hypocrites! Victory is ours! ]
[ I-! Creatian’s rightful ruler and main god—! No one will take away the planet ruled by this great God of Waters…!! ]
But….
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg-!
No matter what kind of fight it is, the path between the winner and the loser is clearly decided.
Kkwagwagwagwagwagwang-!
[Kuh-! ]
[Why did you become like this! The Demon Goddess should have been neutral, not siding with either order or chaos!! It can’t be like this…. ]
[Damn it-! To think that the Demon God would break the neutrality declaration and send the Demon King to the Western Front…!! Let’s fight together until the divine light sinks to the other side of the abyss! ]
War of the Gods also frequently saw both camps stalemate on multiple fronts, but the status quo could not be maintained forever.
【 Polluted Storm of Lellajie 】
Pababababababababababababak…!!
Western Front.
In the blink of an eye, black magic, which only the strong of the demon world could handle, was cast from beyond the sky on the western front, and green raindrops nearly swept the ground.
In a short period of just about ten seconds, a green storm made of demonic energy pours down like a large number of arrows.
“under-! under-! under-!”
As a result, a demonic man was bewildered when he saw that the higher-ranking deities were unilaterally pushing without even succeeding in any counterattack.
“okay! So shallow and frivolous, crawl and run away! Isn’t that the only outrage you can do in front of this Zebram-nim!”
Zebram, who had reigned as the demon king of the original world, burst into a mad laugh and spread demonic energy in all directions.
“Don’t you know that worms have been treated undeservedly for too long just because they don’t know my subject?”
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo…!!
“I can feel it…!!”
Zebram spat out the words in a tone intoxicated with himself while scattering black demonic energy all over his body.
“Unless the great demon is trying to upgrade this Zebram-nim to the rank of 72 demons, there is no way he will give you this much power…!!”
It was as if it had been confirmed that the Demon God, one of the rulers of the universe, would select and promote himself as an official apostle.
“Haha-! at las-! The day has come for this Zebram-sama to rise to that lofty throne! In a hierarchy that is not even a match for an ancient deity other than a great demon!!”
However, despite this, Zebram’s black magic or magic was close to a level that could be talked about.
“Now, die in front of the power of this Zebram-sama’s chosen Demon King—!”
However…
“Let’s get together all together-”
It was only possible because there was no one on the western front who could stand against the demon lord who was empowered by the demon god.
[Folding Vortex]
Chijijijijijijikjik…!!
“The power of the chosen demon king…?”
That was the moment.
In the blink of an eye, black demonic energy overflows in the middle of the western front, and at the same time, a gap in space opens.
And from beyond, a young-looking man walked out, frowning as if he didn’t understand what he had just heard.
“…no way-.”
It’s not different-.
“—So much?”
“…….”
It was Han Seong-yoon.
