431. Butterfly effect (3)
Discomfort.
Sometimes, in a situation overflowing with clumsiness and incongruity that goes against common sense and logic, I often feel the most unpleasant annoyance.
It was no different from the god of the current moon, who was the suzerain of a planet and formed the hierarchy of divinity as a higher deity.
“….”
But….
Throbbing-.
It wasn’t that I felt only discomfort and annoyance in the pure sense of incongruity.
Before he knew it, the god of Hyeonwol realized that beyond the unknown sense of incongruity, there was anxiety and fear that could not be washed away.
It is a situation where the whole body trembles even weakly, as if becoming a prey after seeing a predator hiding in a bush.
It was strange
.
Such a sense of incongruity is bound to be unfamiliar to a high-ranking deity, who is a being who has no inferiority in being called the suzerain of a planet.
Wouldn’t it be even more strange if you felt the fear and nervousness that seemed to have no causal effect beyond the unpleasantness and discomfort caused by that unknown sense of incongruity?
‘…somewhere is strange.’
At that moment, the god of the moon stared at a young man standing in the middle of the forest with a hard expression on his face.
‘What the hell is that guy doing?’
It was strange.
Originally selected as the gatekeeper of the sacred realm < Forest of Shadows >, the god of nonconformity contacted by divine authority said that there is a worm claiming to be a deity belonging to the orderly camp.
And accordingly, he would have said that he would bring that unknown deity completely neutralized to this divine realm < Forest of Shadows >.
‘Why is it that the higher god, the God of Misunderstanding, is drenched in fear instead of that mysterious guy?’
But…
‘Isn’t it a look that goes against common sense and logic?’
For some reason, the God of Compromise, who had almost no flaws in the divine hierarchy among the higher-ranking deities, looked immersed in a noticeable fear.
‘Damn it…’
Contradictory.
A situation where the front and back do not match.
I felt something out of common sense and logic.
In fact, if you think about it rationally, I was suffering from displeasure, nervousness, and intrusiveness stemming from an unknown fear over nothing.
‘I don’t know why I feel like I have to run away from here right now.’
And accordingly, the beating of the heart increased even more, and the anxiety, nervousness, and annoyance in the unknown sense of incongruity, which seemed to penetrate the nervous system, were inflated.
Throbbing -.
It grew at a faster rate every time the other high-ranking gods standing in the middle of the divine realm < Forest of Shadows > uttered words.
「The god of Gulgong frowns and laughs at the unknown being.
」 That’s funny. What did you just say? A bug that can’t even proudly reveal the divine hierarchy… Did you dare to joke? It’s funny. ]
Discomfort.
「The god of the ancestors reveals feelings of anger and contempt toward an unknown being.」
[Ha! Even at first glance, a guy who looks like he has barely reached the divine hierarchy of the official godhead, let alone a high-ranking godhead…!! Did you want to die without knowing a single thing about me?! ]
Discomfort.
「The god of non-agreement opens her lips while looking at her eyes so as not to offend any one being.
」 How can you spit out such nonsense! What a shame! How can you not know! W The person standing here is not an insignificant thing, but a great cosmic species that has achieved a great divine hierarchy…]
Feeling of incongruity.
What does it mean that the god of discord is stumped by that young man who doesn’t seem to belong to a very strong axis among high-ranking or official deities at most?
At this point, the god of Hyeonwol, unlike the god of Gulgong or the god of Seonchuk, was almost certain that this intense sense of incongruity he felt was not an illusion.
‘I have to get out of here right now.’
It was awful.
Somehow, I spit out the words that he was suitable for being used as a ‘bait’ for that unknown young man…
Somehow, seeing that unknown young man’s arrogance and composure all along, the strong man’s unique atmosphere I didn’t even dare to say such a thing any more.
“Is it the hierarchy of divinity…?”
But that was for a while.
“That’s not wrong either.”
Suddenly hearing that, the unknown young man nodded and acted like he had a point.
It’s like being a superior who has heard some complaints from a subordinate.
At this point, it is no longer possible to deny that the god of Hyeonwol is also a strange young man.
He immediately followed his intuition and tried to escape from the sacred realm, but the other person’s words continued before he could do that.
“Well, it seems that the sacred realm itself has a knack for hiding the signs of divinity and mana, so there is no need to hide the power so tightly anymore.”
and.
“Then you should let me know.”
next moment.
「The god of transcendence and death exudes the power of divinity with a cold smile.」
[I wonder who the hell is standing in front of you guys. ]
gggggggggggggggggggggg———!
In the blink of an eye, the divine realm < Forest of Shadows > was shattered in an instant, and a level of divinity that was not strange was expressed.
Eujijijijijijijijik-!
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ]
[ Kkeuheu!! I can’t breathe-. ]
[ Ah ah ah!! My head! I feel like my head is going to split…!! Whoop whoop!! ]
In an instant, one of the three higher deities standing in the divine realm < Forest of Shadows > collapses as if he can no longer stand.
Jerk-jerk-.
And all the unidentified men who watched the whole process looked down as if they were pitiful and said quietly.
[I had to talk to each and every one of you about whether you knew a fraction or didn’t know how to understand a subject….] Just by
lightly exhaling the divinity that you possessed without going through any processing, you subdued the three higher godheads at once. A power that pushes the divine realm to the brink of destroying it because it’s not enough.
[In the first place, isn’t it because you guys, like you, can’t figure out a single part of yourself and talk like that in front of me? ]
At this point, not only the god of Hyeonwol, who has a particularly good touch, but also the god of Gulgong and the god of Seonchuk, among the three top deities, have no choice but to notice who the unknown young man is.
[ War of the Gods. Don’t be annoyed by the topic of those defeated soldiers who fled to the Western Front. Do you want to kill me for nothing? ]
Originally, in this universe, high-ranking deities are beings with enough power to be called the head of a planet.
Not only mortals who do not have divinity, but even formal deities that have been dealt with by stably establishing the concept divinity itself are not inferior to higher deities.
In fact, isn’t there only one realm that can overwhelm those who have achieved the divine hierarchy of higher deity as if they were dealing with children this overwhelmingly?
[I have dealt with the chosen demon king and the high-ranking deities of the chaos camp that appeared on the western front. ]
Of course.
[So…]
That means one thing.
[You guys are under my control and command from now on. ]
That unidentified young man in front of me means that he has established a divine hierarchy that is different from the upper deity or formal deity.
[Well, these are things I don’t know, so I’ll let you know who I am once again, so this time you’d better listen carefully and memorize them. ]
That’s also very huge.
[God of transcendence and death. ]
It’s nothing else…
[That’s the name of an ancient deity that will bring victory to the side of order in this war of gods. ]
It was Han Seong-yoon.
***
In an instant, a peaceful silence fell over the hall.
Before I knew it, I put on a relaxed expression as I almost knocked out all the high-ranking deities gathered in the divine realm < Forest of Shadows >.
Well, in the War of the Gods, I wanted to avoid the troublesome situation where one of the other ancient deities kept an eye on this side, so I had refrained from revealing divinity and mana, but this time there was no need for that.
‘I’m lucky.’
If I had to ask, would you say there was some unintended luck?
It must have been endowed with a unique ability that partially conceals the signs of divinity and mana attached to the divine realm < Forest of Shadows >.
Regardless of whether this side wants it or not, as long as they are here, the divine and mana are supposed to be hidden to some extent, so they can make a fuss without thinking about the aftermath.
‘Well, even then, I refrained from using my holy spirit more violently because the holy realm itself would be destroyed.’
I had to adjust my strength a bit, but I’m not really complaining.
In any case, I was able to relieve a lot of my stress, so in the end, isn’t good good?
Not to mention, there were still a lot of things I could relieve my stress on, so I needed to deal with them quickly.
“Should I give you a mission?”
and.
“From the western front to the outlying zones, everyone couldn’t have gone very far.”
In response, I trembled and looked at the prostrate deities of higher ranks and asked for help in a kind tone.
“Whether it’s a high-ranking deity or an official deity, don’t leave out any of them and bring them all to me.”
[ yes? what that is! Lord of the great universe above! With our own strength, we can’t easily subdue and bring over the upper and official deities…]
“Don’t hate it. Well, as much as there is a lack of high-ranking and formal deities on the Western Front, you’ll have to make up for that much. efficiently. That’s all.”
[ …. ]
A loser.
It was an order to retreat from the Western Front and bring back all of the high-ranking deities and official deities of the pro-order camp.
In fact, if the other side said no, I had no intention of wasting time looking for fugitives, so it was my intention to get some benefit from them efficiently.
“What do you do?”
But…
[Uh… that was just a sound I’d done once! You are the great one!! I can find and bring back any number of shameless bastards who fled to the western front…!! ]
[ Ah ahaha! Please put your mind at ease and just leave it to me! All of us here are high-ranking gods in name, so we can’t be intimidated by such a light mission, right? Not so! ]
[ Hee hee!! I’ll do it! I will definitely do it! I’ll do it by any means! I will risk my life to capture them alive!! ]
Did the other side also feel that I showed ‘consideration’ of persuasion and dialogue with a very warm heart?
Somehow, it seemed that he was motivated to pursue the pursuit properly, so it became a warm atmosphere for a long time.
Originally, persuasion and conversation would have been possible only when the other person also had a heart that could feel ‘consideration’.
Since this side effectively reminded them of how much ‘consideration’ they were showing, the four high-ranking deities also responded to the consideration and pursued and searched for the defeated soldiers until their soles were set on fire.
‘Suddenly.’
Is that why?
[ …hmm? I’ve been told there’s a hideout on the Western Front where you can’t get caught by the Ancient Gods, but it doesn’t seem that great. ]
[ What do you mean? A hideout? One of the higher deities told me that this is a portal to the central frontline? ]
[ Huh! What the hell are you both talking about! This is a priest who can send a request for protection to an ancient deity on the neutral side under the pretext of sacrifice! ]
It was great.
In less than a day, most of the high-ranking deities and official deities who fled from the Western Front gathered in the divine realm < Forest of Shadows >.
At first glance, it seemed that all the senior and official deities who belonged to the orderly camp and were drafted to the Western Front had gathered, so I went forward with a big smile on my face.
Tuk-tuk-.
Of course, I did not forget to praise the hard work of those who brought the high-ranking deities and official deities to this sacred realm < Forest of Shadows >.
“Awesome. I never thought that most of the top and official deities who fled from the Western Front would gather so quickly. You did a great job bringing them all this far.”
[Hahaha…. Say nothing. Rather, we are now going to return to the main camp of the order camp and go to help on the other fronts…]
“Is there anything emotionally difficult these days?”
[ yes? Uh… What do you mean…]
“It hurts my heart when you suddenly beg me to kill you.”
[ …. ]
And just like that, I went forward and showed myself to the higher and official deities gathered in the forest, leaving behind the words to the four higher deities to continue working hard.
Chak-.
“I want to thank the many high-ranking and formal deities who have come this far, but I also have one command.”
Looking around the hundreds of high-ranking deities and official deities in front of you one by one, you talk directly.
“From now on, I will lead the deities belonging to the order camp on the western front and push it to the headquarters of the chaos camp.”
From the introduction to the main body to the conclusion, he used an extremely efficient speech method without wasting any time.
“Until then, please take care to ensure that there are no deserters again on the Western Front, and play an active role as a member of the good order camp.”
But was it worse than I thought to hear from the other side?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Suddenly, a large stone was shot to the side of where this side was standing, and the ground was overturned.
「The deity of division expresses anger and annoyance while squinting her eyes.」
[Ha! don’t bullshit! A bastard who looks weak even at first sight…!! How dare you act like you’re the boss!! ]
It was bloody.
There seems to be a lot of dissatisfaction with this one.
It seemed that the others were no different.
[ Tsk! I came here because I heard that there is a hiding place that even my ancient deity can hide from! Was I fooled by that idiot after all? ]
[ Bastard!! You said there is a portal to the central front here!! Dare to dare! Did you trick me!! ]
[ Damn it! These damn kids! I thought you said you could send a request for protection by offering a sacrifice to one of the Ancient Gods on the main neutral faction? Was that all a lie!! ]
One, and that for a while.
「The deity of division raises the power of divinity and mana from the whole body.」
[Ha ha ha!! yes good!! And if you want to be the boss like a monkey, I’ll join you! I will cut off your head and hang it on top of that tall tree!! Come on, this buggy bird…]
There is absolutely no need for persuasion or excuses.
「The authority ‘Shunbo’ is activated.」
「A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes.」
「Consumes holy power to instantly move to a desired point within sight.
」 ─!
In the blink of an eye, I teleported with the authority ‘Sunbo’ and killed the red muscular giant, the god of the block.
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s victory against a high-level deity has brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 0.62%.」
「Inherent attribute ‘Necromancy’ mastery increased by 0.002%.」
「Absorbs the spirit of Parthamram, the god of division. I did.」
「…」
There was not even a sign of revival.
「Accomplishment ‘Achievement of Horror Without Blood nor Tears’ has been achieved.」 「
Achievement of ‘Execution of Horror Without Blood nor Tears’ has been achieved.」
It activates automatically.」
「The reward level obtained from achievements increases from [B+ grade] to [A+ grade].」
「The skill ‘Public Execution (A+)’ is created.」
Clearly.
“…that’s annoying.”
Perhaps they noticed that one of the higher deities had been torn to pieces with only the pure physical strength of this side, and there was no dissatisfaction and irritation, and only heavy silence fell in the hall.
drip drip drip -.
“I hope you don’t misunderstand the true meaning of what I said.”
At that, I swiped off the bright red blood on my right hand and spoke in an annoyed tone.
“Perhaps most of the people here don’t understand spirit…”
He said, revealing the unique confidence of a predator, like a hunter looking at prey caught in a trap.
“What I just said to you is not that I specifically ask for your understanding, I just unilaterally informed you.”
and.
“Can I explain it to you?”
next moment.
“Most of you.”
To him, I spoke comfortably without even mixing clumsy honorifics.
“They seem to think they have the choice…”
I hadn’t given them a choice from the start.
“If you don’t risk your life to fight on the western front as I ordered, no one can get out of here alive.”
Originally, if submissiveness to the strong is an ideology deeply embedded in the heads of the upper and official deities, then the weak cannot have any rights.
「…」
「The skill ‘Public Execution’ is strongly activated.」
「The skill ‘Public Execution’ spreads the ‘Aura of Hell’ within a radius of 10 km and makes it easier to create a ‘Negative Emotional State’ .」
There is only one choice and result.
「The god of transcendence and death is pleased to see the crowd trembling in fear.」
[All of you were captured by me.]
Of course.
