435. Before the Storm (2)
In an instant, divine starlight explodes.
Originally, the power skill ‘Starlight’ that I possess is a replica, not an original one, and is actually a power created by one of the ancient deities, the Dragon God.
The Divine Starlight this side had became a Power Skill thanks to the Divine < Transcendence >, but even so, it was essentially unable to surpass the original user of the Holy Light.
──────!
The world is bathed in the divine starlight.
However, if the raw material is the divine power of the ancient deity called the head of the universe, the divine starlight shows unbelievable destructive power.
It wouldn’t be strange if a mere high-level deity or formal deity would instantly turn to dust and die the instant it touched the starlight of that divinity.
‘Because of the divine starlight, I can’t even confirm where the replacement Dragon God is.’
Not even that.
Sight, as well as the sensing ability that can be used based on divinity and mana, do not work in front of the overwhelming divine starlight.
In a nutshell, this meant that this side had to block the starlight of that divinity and at the same time deal perfectly with where the Dragon God would appear next.
‘That divine starlight is a wide-area attack that was designed to be impossible to avoid in the first place, and even if it succeeds in blocking it, there is a high chance that it will be attacked right after.’
Shuk-.
‘Then I should let that divine starlight flow, not avoid or block it.’
In response, I activated the power of a unique skill in the divine starlight that came from all directions while holding the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Breaking Sword.
“…”
「Inherent skill ‘Drain’ is strongly activated.」
「Limited to the first blow, it provides an absolute counter.」
unique skill.
The power that the Tower of Trials gives to the challenger who clears the first ordeal for the first and last time is copied in the form of a skill using necromancy.
The unique skill ‘shedding’ obtained from a 300-year-old nog of a shaman in Moorim, which was created by the Tower of Trials in the past, makes it possible to shed even the power that can never be shed.
Catch up, play, play, play ───!
The divine starlight collided with the blades of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Wave Heaven Sword, and was deflected to the side with the action of force.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
however….
That’s not the end.
Inherent skill ‘Leave’ can use ‘absolute counter’ only for the first blow in each battle.
And accordingly, by the unique skill ‘shedding’, the divine starlight automatically launched a counterattack that deviated from common sense at the moment it missed to the side.
───!
Is that why?
[ …under. ]
As the starlight of the divinity that had been spreading all over the place faded, the voice of a divinity could be heard.
widely-.
The dragon god appeared, lightly removing the dust scattered everywhere with a gesture of his hand, and spat out words with a surprised look on his face.
[ …Divine abilities? Or some power or myth? you. How did you send the holy light back to me? How is that possible? ]
Perhaps this side’s unique skill ‘Shedding’ is the power of the ‘system’ that only the Tower of Trials and Awakeners on Earth have, so I don’t think I can even figure out what it is…
“It’s a secret.”
There was no need to tell that to the other side.
Well, in the first place, unlike the system obtained by the Tower of Trials or the Awakeners of Earth, wasn’t a part of the system itself separated and attributed to me due to the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >?
Even if I told them where the power they had came from, they wouldn’t be able to figure it out, and even if that wasn’t the case, it wouldn’t even be a situation where they could explain the source of the power in an obedient way.
‘Even if I talk about my strength, I don’t think they’ll understand it properly, but even so, I need to hide it in case it turns out to be a weakness.’
There was really nothing different.
[ okay? That’s it. It seems to be using a bit of a strange power… but anyway. Nothing will change. ]
The Dragon God replied lightly, as if he hadn’t thought that this side would give a proper answer, and moved on to the next action.
Chii-i-i-!
The tremendous divine power is literally scattered from the dragon god’s body and condensed into momentum that will pour somewhere at any time.
[I’ll finish it. ]
and.
「Divine < Dragon Word > is activated, consumes divine power, and exerts the power to interfere with certain objects and phenomena within a certain range with the Dragon Word.”
next moment.
《 ───. 》
In an instant, as soon as the dragon god spoke an incomprehensible mysterious language, her words turned into a force and acted.
Hard———!
It feels as if the laws of things and phenomena in the world itself are being reversed by the god’s supernormal ability according to the dragon god’s divinity < Dragon Word >.
——!!
The only thing the Dragon God did was spit out a few words while using his divine ability.
‘What is this…’
But…
‘Sacred power and magical power don’t work at all?’
Suddenly, as soon as the Dragon God uttered a certain word using the Divine < Dragon Word >, I noticed that neither the Divinity nor the mana in my body had become immovable.
“…under.”
Not to mention, the divinity and mana were sealed without even the slightest resistance, as if there was no room for the ability to resist divinity on this side.
“…that’s absurd.”
Even if he is an ancient deity who has transformed himself into divinity and concept and achieved the divine hierarchy to the point of immortality, he cannot resist and be overpowered…
“…This is not the main body of the Dragon God, but the incarnation?”
It was huge.
‘I’ll be thrilled.’
overwhelming power.
It is truly the supernatural ability of a powerful deity worthy of being the head of this universe, respected even among ancient deities, and regarded as being outside the standard.
It would not be possible to exert 100% level of power with the incarnation of that Dragon God.
No matter how much power that other side could bestow from the main body to the incarnated body than ordinary gods, it would be only half or a little higher than that of the main body of the Dragon God.
Even so, it had such a strong power.
‘At this point, I’m on a completely different level from me, the god of birth, or the usual ancient deities I’ve seen in pantheons…’
At this point, shouldn’t it be said that the other side has achieved a divine hierarchy of a separate type, not even a general ancient deity?
‘It’s just that it’s more reasonable to think that it’s not even an Ancient Godhead, but something that almost transcends the realm of an Ancient Godhead.’
Realized.
In fact, the dark gods, demons, and dragon gods are half out of the category of ancient gods.
Perhaps the three most ancient deities in the universe may not have become transcendents, but they can be said to have reached the boundary before becoming transcendents.
‘Shall we go seriously?’
However, even so, it did not mean that much because this side did not have the power to resist it at all.
“…”
「The Transcendence Myth < Absolute Immutability > is activated.」
「From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon’s actions will have the divinity effect of < denial of alteration >.”
「You can deny all negative changes about you that are realized by outside interference.」
“From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of < The One and Only >.”
“Outside phenomena can never imitate the power that belongs to you without permission.”
It’s this way, because by activating the transcendence myth < Absolute Unchanging >, you can easily destroy the Dragon God’s divinity < Dragon Word >, which makes divinity and mana immobile.
Whoa-!
and.
「As a user, I encountered a strong opponent that was difficult to handle.」
「The skill ‘Indomitable Will’ is activated.」
“…”
「The authority ‘Winter King’ is automatically activated when the conditions are met.」
「All stats are amplified by +10% and the user is not affected by cold at all.」
“…”
「The special spell activation conditions have been met.」
「The exclusive spell < Despise the Strong > is activated.」
「All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle.」
“…”
「Myth < Reversal Hero > is activated.」
“All stats increase by +2000.”
「The special buff < Dragon Slayer > is activated.」
“While hunting a dragon with overwhelming power, all stats increase by 30%.”
next moment.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu…!!
In an instant, countless skills, powers, myths, and divine powers were activated.
Numerous system messages appeared in front of my eyes, clearly informing me that most of my power had been used.
The various powers he has acquired while climbing the Tower of Trials so far surge from his body, forming a perfect harmony without shaking.
‘The risk is too great to judge the dragon god’s level of strength while saving my power any longer.’
There was no hesitation.
Because on this side, the option of hiding power from the Dragon God did not exist from the beginning.
Divinity or mythology, skill or authority, or even the power of holy relics and items, you have to bring out all of them, and a fight can barely be established.
‘I don’t know in detail how far the Dragon God can exert his power as an incarnated form, but at least it’s not at the same level.’
At that, I glanced at the incarnation of the Dragon God standing on the other side, then finished my judgment.
‘It’s not going to be close…’
win or lose.
The latter would be the closest to either, but the former is not impossible at all.
Even if the original dragon god is an existence that stands on the borderline of transcendental beings beyond even the category of an ancient deity, isn’t that the dragon god itself?
The fact that what is standing in front of you is not the main body of the Dragon God, but the incarnation, makes it possible to see the possibility of victory like a thread.
‘It’s possible.’
step….
「Divinity < Thunder Rain > is activated, and a rain of thunder shoots out causing permanent damage to the concept of divinity.」
That too was only for a moment.
Even while this side was using the skill ‘Focus on Combat’ and continuing to think and judge in an instant, the dragon god continued to attack without stopping.
It was not easy to block or avoid the divine < Thunder Rain > even though he had used numerous skills, powers, divinity and mythology, and even items.
───!
At the very least, the divinity < Thunder Rain > that this side saw was shot at tremendous speed, but the attack range was not particularly wide.
But this time it’s different.
The divine < Thunder Rain > was torn into hundreds of pieces at a speed that easily exceeded the speed of sound, and covered all directions as raindrops containing thunder.
however….
“…”
「The unique skill ‘Drain’ is activated.」
“Even if it’s an attack that can’t be let go, it becomes possible to let go.”
Anyway, the divine < Thunder Rain > doesn’t even need to be evaded or blocked, just send it aside with the unique skill ‘Drain’.
It doesn’t fall out…!!
In the blink of an eye, divine < thunder rain > was scattered in all directions according to the direction the two swords were swung.
gg gg gg gg gg gg-!
The divine < Thunder Rain > had an overwhelming amount of impact, but there was no particular problem in draining it apart from it.
Kaga gag gak gak-!
In the end, no matter what the leaves floating on the river do, in the end, just as they move along the flow of water, the raindrops of thunder made of divinity only flow sideways.
Hey hey hey hey hey-!!
However, although it was successful in letting the divine < Thunder Rain > flow, of course it was not without loss at all.
“…”
In an instant, half of the mana in the body was consumed.
I realized that even if I tried to drag the time on the dragon god like now, I would end up losing miserably sooner or later.
‘Is a long-term battle sure impossible?’
The more time it drags on, the more it will be me, not the incarnation of the Dragon God, who will actually be at a disadvantage.
‘Even if I have a lot of power, such as magic recovery or magic power increase skills, there is no answer if I push like this in a short period of time.’
Climbing the Tower of Trials, he had to raise his magic ability like crazy, but isn’t it a level that can’t even be compared to the dragon god standing there?
‘Are you saying that a short-term battle with the incarnation of the Dragon God is the only answer…’
and.
[ …you. ]
It was then.
Jerk-jerk-.
[ …that’s interesting. I’m blocking everyone who activates my divinity and power myth. And with a very strange power. There is something inherently different from powers such as divinity, mythology, or might. Right? ]
Suddenly, instead of pouring out hellish attacks with divine abilities, the dragon god moved lightly and said so.
[ Strange. If there was an ancient deity like you, I should have noticed it sooner… I don’t really have any memories of you. It’s heterogeneous. ]
In her eyes that resembled two reptiles, there was a mixture of interest and alertness that could not be hidden.
[God of time. The grumpy prophet was right. There are things that should not exist in this universe, and there are things that should not exist in this universe. Something is twisted. ]
Not different…
[ ─What is your true identity? ]
That means one thing.
‘shit….’
In fact, the Dragon God began to vaguely guess that this place was nothing more than a stage created by the Tower of Trials.
‘Suddenly, the Dragon God is trying to notice that this is the stage created by the Tower of Trials.’
Perhaps you noticed that this side’s divinity, mythology, skills, and powers are special, unlike ordinary people…
‘Rather than wasting time meaninglessly anymore, the answer is to drive the Dragon God faster.’
Not good.
To be honest, I don’t know who the god of time is…
Judging from what her dragon god said, it seemed that the author of the god of time had informed her that this world was somehow twisted.
‘The Dragon God is currently active as an incarnated body, but I don’t know what will happen if I notice that the world was created by the Tower of Trials.’
What would happen if that Dragon God found out that the Tower of Trials was a fake close to the real thing that was reproduced even with the power of Remegeton?
‘It wasn’t the time to stock up on things.’
It didn’t seem like it would lead to anything particularly positive, at least for this side.
Kwaaaak-.
In response, I took a deep breath while gripping the hilt of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Break Heaven Sword even tighter.
“Whoa-.”
The answer was fixed.
‘I have to hurry.’
There was only one way to forcefully press the dragon god and settle the matter within a short period of time.
‘Mo or do.’
and.
‘Here’s life and death.’
next moment.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-!
「The divine < Dark Sky > is used.」
「The divine < Dark Sky > transforms the entire area into a dedicated battlefield.」
「In a dedicated battlefield where the divine < Amcheon > is used, all creatures other than challenger Seongyoon Han fall into a state of ‘weakness’.」
「Conceptual divinity of challenger Han Seong-yoon is enhanced by +100% on the dedicated battlefield where the divinity < Amcheon > is used.”
In the blink of an eye, the divine < Dark Sky > was activated, and black clouds appeared all over the area, almost separating the space itself.
[ …Sacred realm? ]
The dragon god said with a feeling of bewilderment, as if asking why the divinity < Amcheon > written by this side didn’t look particularly good.
‘I guess so.’
In fact, unless it is the divine < Dark Sky >, there is no particular merit in building a divine realm, and the divine realm is offset and disappears when the opponent and yourself develop at the same time.
‘If the Dragon God uses the divine realm just like me, the divine < Dark Sky > will collapse and disappear.’
But not now.
‘But that’s not the main body of the Dragon God, but an incarnation.’
In fact, whether it is an ancient deity, a higher level deity, or a formal deity, establishing a divine realm is a task that must be able to contain the concept of divinity itself.
‘There is no possibility that the divine < Dark Sky > will be destroyed.’
In other words, as long as the dragon god is an incarnation, not the main body, it means that it cannot completely contain its own conceptual divinity, so it cannot destroy the divine realm created by this side.
‘If all kinds of concept divinities become +100% stronger without any conditions, there is no need to be afraid.’
What does it mean that all types of concept divinities are strengthened by +100% in the divinity realm created by divinity < Dark Sky >?
‘Because even non-standard divinities, such as divinity < transcendence > or divinity < fighting spirit >, become twice as strong.’
Hard———!
「The divine < fighting spirit > meets the conditions and is automatically used.」
「With Divinity < Fight >, challenger Seongyoon Han receives a large buff in proportion to the level of Fighting Spirit.”
「※ The recovery speed and total amount of recovery increase by 200 times with divine < fighting spirit >.」
「※ All physical abilities become 200 times stronger with Divine Fighting Spirit.」
「※The attack speed is accelerated by 200 times with the divine < fighting spirit >…”
「※Divine < fighting spirit > increases the ability to resist external divinities by 200 times…”
‘therefore-.’
…it was simple.
「Use Divinity < Transcendence >.」
“All abilities will be out of range.”
「The more you hit the limit, the faster all abilities go out of the set range.」
「In proportion to the difference in level with the opponent, the growth rate of all types increases [712] times.」
‘─I win.’
…That is, it is not long before the power that this side possesses will be able to press down with force, not the main body of the Dragon God.
