432. The Butterfly Effect (4)
It was an unintended benefit.
To be able to use hundreds of high-ranking and official deities like this with ease…
In fact, if I hadn’t discovered this divine realm, < Forest of Shadows >, I wouldn’t have been able to command them.
‘Fortunately, I found a place that has an excellent knowledge of hiding divinity and magic even in the sacred realm.’
Indeed, in this War of the Gods, there are many ancient deities who can easily detect the signs of divinity and mana on a planet-by-planet basis.
‘In the War of the Gods, every time I send out my divinity and magical power as it is, the eyes of suspicion may increase.’
If you frequently expose your divinity and mana, the people around you will look at you that much.
‘In this war of the gods, there is no need to give the ancient gods a chance to sense their divinity and mana.’
If you get attention from the dark god, demon god, or dragon god once, there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself in an embarrassing unexpected situation
. ‘
There was a simple method if you had to make a contribution that could be said to have contributed greatly to the victory of the orderly camp on the Western Front without revealing much of the power of divinity and mana this side had.
‘Well, from now on, whether it’s the Western Front or the other fronts, I don’t think there’s anything I can do to directly use Divinity and Mana.’
It’s not different…
‘Somehow, I got more effective workers than I thought.’
Chado Murder (借刀殺人).
‘If I can handle hundreds of high-ranking deities and formal deities under my command, I won’t have to step in directly anymore.’
As long as it’s not my divinity and mana, shouldn’t I just use the divinity and mana of another being who is no different from someone else?
Kwahu family and science and fruits and science!
like now.
[ hot! Good good! Unlike before, the top deities of the Chaos camp have definitely decreased! Do not hesitate and move forward! Isn’t the head of the universe also protecting us…!! ]
[ Gut!! Don’t back down! If you retreat from here, everything will be destroyed! Whether it’s a divine ability or a special power, don’t spare it and use it all! That’s how you can live!! ]
[ Ugh-! Damn you!! Do you think I will die in a place like this…!! Oh, it’s divinity, it’s magic, I’ll use it to the fullest and survive!! ]
Western Front.
It is one of the five most important frontlines in the War of the Gods and was almost completely occupied by the Chaos camp.
However, unlike before, the Western Front was infested with high-ranking deities and formal deities belonging to the order camp, not to the chaos camp.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-!
Not even that.
Originally, on the western front, the side of chaos should have almost overwhelmed the high-ranking deities and official deities belonging to the side of order.
But now it wasn’t.
Hundreds of high-ranking deities and official deities belonging to the orderly faction were restoring the territory by pouring out divinity and mana.
‘It’s going smoothly.’
In response, I watched the series of great battles from the outskirts near the rear of the Western Front and then smiled.
‘Hahaha, since he killed so many deities in the camp of chaos as well as the chosen demon king sent by the demon god, is it that the allies have no choice but to have an advantage?’
Well, in the first place, when this side defeated a male demon who claimed to be the chosen demon lord, who was no different from the chaos camp’s hidden card on the western front, there was no choice but to become like this.
‘The number of guys who run away from the Western Front or don’t fight properly and try to get out of it is rarer than I thought.’
However, it was strange that there were few rebellious elements who were willing to fight on the Western Front or to leave the Western Front itself more than this side had predicted.
‘Could it be because of the new skill obtained as an achievement reward this time?’
Of course, I guessed why.
『Skill – Public Execution (A+)』
『Proficiency – 1.7%』
『Basic Effect – When executing publicly in front of many creatures, ‘Hell’s energy’ is scattered around, and regardless of divinity or magical power, ‘fear’ is inflicted on the creature ‘ and ‘domination status’ become easier.』
『Detailed Effects – When an overwhelmingly strong person is publicly executed in front of many living creatures, the number of ‘public executions’ accumulates, and every time ’10’ is achieved, one of all stats is randomly increased by +2.]
Perhaps the skill ‘Public Execution (A+)’ obtained as a reward for achieving this achievement gave courage (?) to the deities on the Western Front
… It looks like he got a skill worth doing.’
It was fun.
Just by killing someone openly in front of many living beings, you can demonstrate a power close to mental contamination based on the debuff called ‘hell energy’
… Considering that it also applies to them, it was a power of great value.
‘It’s not enough to make it easier to handle higher-ranking deities or official deities, and the amount of additional stat increase is also significant.’
I also liked the fact that one of all stats is randomly increased by +2, even though it’s all about killing high-ranking or official deities in front of a crowd.
「…」
「The skill ‘Public Execution’ is strongly activated.」
「The skill ‘Public Execution’ spreads the ‘Aura of Hell’ within a radius of 10km and makes it easier to create a ‘Negative Emotional State’ .”
But…
“Shinhwa < Nemesis of Everything > is activated.”
“From now on, Challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of < Nim Enemy > .” It has a great interference with the power of.”
「※ Beings without will cannot resist your holy power.」 「From
now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon’s divine operation will have the effect of < Chaos >.」
「 When < Chaos > is activated, the enemy’s negative emotions are extracted as faith.」 「
※ The greater the enemy’s negative emotions, the greater the efficiency of faith extraction.」
That’s not all.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ]
[ Damn it…! The losers who would have just run away without looking back…! How could they counterattack this far in such a short amount of time…!! ]
[ Retreat Retreat! Even in the main camp, they informed the Western Front that they could not hire a high-level deity, and cut off their tails in public!! If I stay here any longer, I’ll just die like a dog…!! ]
In an instant, all the enemies retreated without even attempting a proper interception against the high-ranking deities and official deities that this side brought to the Western Front.
Tsutsutsu———!
And, accordingly, additional gains could be made from the numerous higher and formal deities retreating from the Western Front.
‘nice.’
Before I knew it, the skill ‘Public Execution’ was activated on the Western Front, and at the same time ‘Aura of Hell’ spread, I gained a lot of faith as the mythical < Enemy of Everything >.
‘In the war of the gods, no matter what you do, nothing is useless.’
Since it was a faith extracted from close to hundreds of high-ranking and official deities, it had a value different from the faith sent by mortals.
‘Aren’t the deities who are participating in the war of the gods giving out rewards and benefits as generously as the Murim people in the Murim dimension?’
Incredibly.
‘Not just this time, but in the future, if I can get divinity and faith like now in the war of the gods, I might be able to get another one soon.’
At this point, wouldn’t it be possible to say that it’s not two birds with one stone, but a swan with one stone?
“I’m curious.”
Perhaps, under the assumption that he was lucky, if some time passed in the war of the gods, he would be able to acquire new powers this time.
“If you have accumulated so much legends and beliefs in your body, what can you achieve?”
It’s nothing else…
“It would be nice if the new myth of transcendence was a more interesting power.”
That’s huge too.
***
In an instant, he increased the occupied territory by defeating the remnants of the chaotic camp on the western front.
Anyway, it wasn’t that difficult because this side killed a lot of deities belonging to the chaotic camp.
Not to mention, there was no resistance from the other side as well, probably because they judged that there would be no benefit to be gained by injecting a large amount of high-level deities or formal deities on the Western Front.
Kwajiik-!
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s victory against a high-ranking deity brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 0.59%.」 「
Inherent attribute ‘Necromancy’ mastery increased by 0.002%.」
「Absorbed the spirit of ‘Deculad’, the god of waves .」
「…」
“End.”
Having killed one of the upper deities with my bare hands, I brushed off the blood on my hands and spat out a short comment.
“Are you no longer seeing high-ranking deities on the Western Front?”
At some point, on the western front, there were about 10 or so high-ranking deities in the chaotic camp.
“hmm.”
Why?
“It’s strange.”
At this point, it is not easy to guess why the chaotic camp did not put more high-ranking deities and formal deities on the Western Front.
‘In the War of the Gods, the Western Front is called one of the five fronts in its own way, and I think I heard that it is of great value as an occupied area…’
It’s strange.
‘—No matter how much the other side realized that consuming more of the upper and official divinities would be a loss, wouldn’t it be strangely lacking in resistance?’
It was awful.
Somehow, while climbing the tower of trials and crossing the crossroads between life and death, the senses that were trained showed a sense of discord, as if some kind of survival instinct was exercised.
As I frowned at him and gave him a curious expression of concern, I heard the voice of a dying divinity not far away.
“The god of fortune and iron laughs at you.
” ..]
A high-ranking deity spewed out a curse-like story as he lay on the ground on the Western Front, bleeding to death.
[Hypocrites of the disgusting order camp…. None of you will be able to survive here…. Let me assure you that that fact will never change—. ]
One, and that for a while.
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Quazik-!
[…knock-!! ]
In response, without hesitation, I punched the god of luck and iron, who was splitting the threads unluckily, and replied coldly.
“Even if you say it like a curse like that, unless you use divine abilities or special abilities, it will only irritate you at best.”
Well, to this side, the words spoken by that god of luck and iron were nothing more than random chatter to intimidate.
“As long as one of the ancient deities doesn’t appear on the western front, no one can survive.”
But…
[Hehehehahaha! Hehehehe black! What did you say? An ancient deity? Oh, how can you say such clever words! ]
Suddenly, as if he had heard a very interesting story, the god of luck and iron spat out words full of laughter.
[ ha ha ha! Try struggling with that proud word! You hypocrite! It won’t be long before we meet again in the afterlife! I’ll let you prophesy… ]
Of course, you don’t have to listen to those useless curse words until the end.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s victory against a high-ranking deity brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 0.59%.」
「Inherent attribute ‘Necromancy’ mastery increased by 0.002%.」
「Absorbed the spirit of ‘Hater’, the god of meteorites. .」
「…」
“It is absurd.”
Isn’t it?
“Ancient deities…”
I let out a mocking laugh at him with a smile on my lips.
“There’s no way an ancient godlike entity will suddenly appear on the western front, right?”
All of the ancient deities called the rulers of this universe are fighting a war of nerves, so they don’t reveal themselves easily.
“Even if an ancient deity appears, it doesn’t matter if it’s not a god of darkness, a demon god, or a dragon god.”
Contrary to what the other side said, realistically, it seemed that there was little chance of an ancient deity appearing on the Western Front.
“no.”
Is that all?
“It’s rather a good thing.”
Even if it wasn’t, it wasn’t too bad.
“If you defeat one of the ancient deities in the War of the Gods, you will be able to extort not only the concept divinity but also the divine power as a reward for clearing the trial.”
In the first place, this side had already succeeded in climbing the Tower of Trials and killing one of the ancient deities, the god of birth.
“If you have to ask, isn’t it lucky for me?”
In fact, most of the ancient deities could be killed without much difficulty in a 1:1 match-up, provided that this side was properly engaged in the fight.
“Well, no matter what, there’s no way an ancient deity will appear on the western front, so it’s a meaningless idea…”
But…
“….”
Poof—!
It was then.
In the blink of an eye, I stopped licking my lips, stood there with my eyes wide open, then turned my head wildly.
No sign of divinity or mana was detected, but more fundamentally, something that stimulated the survival instinct of the whole body was felt beyond. ‘What
the heck
is this…’
And…
next moment.
“…”
I finally saw it.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-!
A miracle that twists providence.
In the sky of the Western Front, some kind of brilliant divine light descends to the ground.
The overwhelming divinity, whose depth cannot even be measured, as if it contained the universe itself, even descends as if crushing the entire space.
“…is this a joke?”
I knew who the being that appeared there was.
And because of that, I felt a great fear.
It’s not different-.
“…I’ll be thrilled.”
Because the master who controls the light and the power of this overwhelming divinity over there was the same as the absolute.
「The dragon god activates the special divine authority “incarnation” and appears on the western front.」
…It was one of the most powerful beings in this universe, and it was an absolute force that even I now cannot win.
