438. The night before the storm (5)
Deed deed deed deed deed deed———!
In an instant, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Wave Heaven Sword were shot into the Dragon God’s chest.
Kagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagaga-!
However…
‘what else is this…’
In front of the overwhelming divine power surrounded by the dragon god’s skin, even the numerous powers of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Breaking Sword could not easily break the defense.
‘Is that a lie…?’
It was creepy.
Centering on the Divine < Death >, the Divine < Death >, and the Divine < Birth >, the deadly blow that devours even the opponent’s divinity is blocked by pure divine power?
The only thing the Dragon God did was to raise the basic ability to protect the divine power to the limit by surrounding it like a protective shield.
‘That kind of thing is possible only with divine power?’
If that was the case, the blow of conversion, which this side had exerted with all their might, could not even touch the skin of the Dragon God, and was blocked by the divine shield.
Awesome-.
but for a while.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
For a moment, it was blocked by the divine protective shield surrounded by the Dragon God’s skin, but it was literally only a moment.
Divine and mythical skills, powers, and even items, it was not a power that could be prevented by blocking the deadly blow that countless forces were poured into.
Unlike the heavenly sword, which was still blocked by divine protection, the blood heaven demon sword quickly broke the divine protection of the dragon god and then pierced the heart at once.
Crackle———!
Doesn’t that mean one thing?
“The Dragon God looks down at his chest as if he can’t believe it.”
[…What is this-. ]
It’s nothing else…
[ …Wook-! ]
It was a death sentence.
Chow-.
[…!! ]
The supernormal ability of the divinity < death > this side possesses is the power to destroy even the ancient deity that achieved immortality by becoming the concept divinity itself.
‘…Yeah, no matter how strong the Dragon God is, I can’t block this casually.’
Even the Tower of Trials, which is evaluated as the closest existence to a transcendent in this universe, was the one and only power that I could not obtain in the end.
‘…Whether it’s divinity, soul, or magical power, it’s impossible to avoid extinction if you’re stained with my divinity < Death >.’
In an instant, the Divine < Death > penetrated deep into the dragon god’s heart, and she could no longer float in the air and fell to the ground.
Whoop-!
But not instant death.
Coo-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu—!
Even after the dragon god fell to the ground, it seemed that he was trying to revive himself in various ways by consuming the divine power remaining in his incarnation.
Tsutsutsu.
Only…
Kwajajak-!
[ …Kuk!! ]
No matter how much I poured the dragon god’s overwhelming divine power into restoring the incarnation, nothing changed.
Because the divinity and soul of the dragon god have already been seriously polluted by divine supernormal abilities such as divinity < death >, divinity < evil eating > and divinity < birth >.
In fact, the divinity < death > alone would have caused a serious fatal injury, but since the divinity < evil eating > and the divinity < birth > were mixed together, no matter how hard they tried, they could no longer survive.
‘I feel that most of the divine power contained in the dragon god’s incarnation is within my control.’
Even more so, thanks to the divinity obtained from the god of birth the other day, he was able to partially control the enormous divine power contained in the incarnation of the dragon god.
‘Divinity < Death >, Divinity < Death >, and Divinity < Birth > are creating better synergy than I thought.’
Originally, it would have been close to impossible for even the original user of the divinity, the deity of birth, to infiltrate a higher or ancient deity with divine abilities.
Wasn’t that why the deity of birth also fought by forcibly raising the potential power of holy relics with divinity, or by manipulating the terrain with divinity?
‘No matter how much that dragon god is just an incarnation, he can contaminate the divine power of an ancient deity close to the transcendent and even control it…’
But this side didn’t have to.
The story would be very different if you succeeded in giving the other person absolute divinity, soul, and magic contamination using the divine < Death > as a base.
At most, it is possible to obtain control over the other person’s divinity or body if you do it as it is now, without even having to use the divine < birth > as an attacking weapon in an indirect way.
‘Depending on how the divinity < birth > is grafted onto the divinity < death >, isn’t it possible to have a higher utilization than expected?’
It was fun.
Perhaps, if this side succeeds in combining their powers well, they will be able to forcibly dominate and manipulate higher or ancient deities.
Well, anyway, it can only be done when you use your power well, and even if you dominate the other person’s divinity and body, the scope of control will be limited.
“…”
But that was enough.
‘There will be quite a few variables or restrictions when using it in practice, but anyway, it’s a power that can briefly control the opponent’s divinity and body as long as the divinity < Death > hits.’
It’s like you’ve got the best dagger to stab your opponent at an unexpected timing.
‘Then there’s nothing bad about it.’
The moment I landed on the ground, satisfied that I had survived the fierce battle where I risked my life and death, and that I had even acquired a new skill.
-…her.
Suddenly, the Blood Demon Sword in this right hand began to tremble as if it were shaking.
-ancient deity. Among them, the dragon god, who is a being close to the transcendent, who is completely different from the ordinary immortals… You really won
. ..
―I vaguely thought that one day you might really become stronger than a normal ancient deity… but I still can’t believe it. Isn’t that absurd?
It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.
―How long did it take to climb the Tower of Trials to become an Ancient God, and if that wasn’t enough, how long did it take to become an Ancient God and how long did it take to defeat the Dragon God…?
Actually, at first, I couldn’t even imagine that I would defeat the dragon god so perfectly.
-Tower of Trials. Maybe that’s why I had no choice but to choose you… It’s not a level of talent or spirituality that can be tailored with common sense. Even the words genius or monster wouldn’t be enough to describe what you’ve accomplished.
Is that why?
―I see…. Now that the Tower of Trials has seen what it has seen and what possibilities it has felt, I can feel it.
Somehow, Damcheonwu muttered as if he was talking to himself, as if he had realized something important.
―From the beginning, to you…
But…
Sssss—!
There was no time to listen to his words.
It was because a wave of a divinity was flowing inside the divinity realm made up of the divinity < Dark Heaven >.
I smiled lightly as I felt the wave of divinity swaying unsteadily around the place where the Dragon God had fallen.
“…Let’s talk again later.”
It’s nothing else…
“…now that side seems to be accepting the outcome of the match.”
The incarnation of the Dragon God was slowly fading away.
****
Extinction Reaction.
Suddenly, from where the Dragon God was, a wave of divinity that could only be seen as a reaction to the extinction of divinity was clearly flowing out.
Until now, the dragon god had tried to somehow purify the contamination of his divinity, soul, and mana by the divinity < death >, but now it seemed to have given up.
Chak-.
In fact, it was.
Did the other side also admit that they couldn’t overturn the outcome of the game?
As she approached the place where the dragon god had fallen, she smiled dejectedly and parted her lips as if joking.
「The dragon god looks at you blankly and smiles wryly.」
[…isn’t this different from what you said earlier? He said he would destroy my incarnation so that it wouldn’t hurt. Are you sick contrary to your promise? ]
The Dragon God spoke to me with a smile on his face that could not be seen as facing death, perhaps because it was the extinction of the incarnation, not the main body.
Is it because, unlike the first time we met earlier, he showed a light and cheerful appearance like the dragon god he saw in the pantheon?
Somehow, looking at the light and playful figure of the smiling dragon god, a false smile formed on my lips.
‘…It’s like a dragon god.’
Seeing that, I responded with a smile in line with what Yongshin said.
“I couldn’t help it. Well, the person in front of me is so strong. Even if I tried to send them away comfortably without any more time to feel pain, it wasn’t easy.”
And I looked straight into the dragon god’s eyes and continued talking.
“But I kept my word that I will definitely win, so please watch.”
Is that why?
[ …joy. Cheeky. He is arrogant about the subject of a deity from the human race who may have lived for hundreds of years. If I had come here as a body rather than an incarnation, there wouldn’t even have been a fight. ]
While grunting like that, Yongshin expressed satisfaction as if he had become more comfortable somewhere.
[ …but it’s the first time in my life that I’ve lost in a fight even if it’s not my body. ]
Originally, in this universe, is it because the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God are beings that are considered overwhelmingly strong even among the ancient gods?
[I couldn’t even imagine losing a fight like this to a lowly, short-lived breed who can’t even live for a few hundred years. ]
Yongshin seemed to feel fresh at the fact that he was defeated in the game.
[Um… and I don’t know why, but I don’t feel bad about losing because of you tricking me into something I don’t know. Rather, it feels comfortable. ]
She muttered that, and then let out a deep sigh as if it was a waste.
[Ah…. but it’s a waste. I wanted to take only you from the war of the gods somehow. I can’t do that. ]
Pagagak-.
The dragon god raised his right hand while lying on the ground and saw himself being stained with divine < death > and shattered.
[The concept of dealing with death itself Divinity. Even if he was a dark god or a demon, if he was attacked by something like this, he wouldn’t have been able to survive as an incarnated body. ]
The grumbling, whether praise or complaint, was short-lived.
[ …would you like to come with me? ]
Yongshin said calmly as if it were the last proposal.
[As expected, it would be a waste to rot a treasure like you here. There’s nothing to be gained by staying in a place like this any longer, right? Why don’t you become my heir instead of doing trivial things in a place like this? If you do that…]
“No. I also have work to do here. It can’t be.”
[ okay? …Well, even pretending, he didn’t seem to have any intention of becoming my successor, so he tried to take him by force by pressing down on him. Is it unavoidable? ]
“….”
I was dumbfounded at that, so I looked at the dragon god, and she smiled and said,
[ …Actually, I still haven’t given up on taking you. I don’t know what the hell you want in the war of the gods, but I’ll go find you as soon as my body recovers the power poured into the incarnation. Until then, please be careful. ]
“…Ah yes. Let’s try. But I don’t really like the idea of coming to kidnap me again. I hope you don’t. Seriously.”
[Whoops. well-? I’ll try too-. So be careful. In the War of the Gods, if you get caught in the eyes of other guys, you could end up in a really terrible situation. This is not a joke. ]
The dragon god continued to speak in a cold tone with his eyes narrowed.
[God of time. That nasty seer said there was an impurity somewhere. Did you say that space-time seems to be warped because of that? But now that I see it, I think it’s because of you, so I’m saying it. ]
impurities.
It’s not clear who it refers to.
…It refers to the one who came from outside the stage, not the fake deities that were merely imitations created by the Tower of Trials.
[Isn’t it? In fact, in this universe, it is not enough to directly govern the high-level concept of death itself, and everyone cannot know the being reborn as an ancient deity…. I came here and knew you for the first time. ]
I couldn’t even reply to what the dragon god said.
[Ahaha! isn’t it strange What do you think everyone would think if an ancient deity found out about this? Well, at least no one will see you favorably or think you’re not suspicious. At worst, they’ll all try to catch you and interrogate you. ]
As the dragon god said, in actual history, there would have been no impurities like me in the wars of the gods.
‘…not all of them, but most of the ancient deities trapped in the war of the gods sensed something strange.’
It’s just that this side hasn’t been active in earnest until now, so everyone didn’t notice it quickly.
If this side shows its strength in earnest in the war of the gods, the number of people who have doubts will increase.
Perhaps those who have already noticed that I am suspicious in the war of the gods may be narrowing the siege.
[God of time. Even more so with that picky prophet. Well, it doesn’t matter what to me, but it doesn’t matter to the other guys. … So take care of yourself. ]
And.
[Because you will probably be chased by the ancient gods from the moment the story about you leaks out to the end of the war of the gods. ]
Farah-.
The moment when the dragon god finally uttered those words, the incarnation completely disappeared and changed into the light of divinity.
“…”
I realized.
Actually, the fact that I had to risk my life against the incarnation of the Dragon God so far is very likely to belong to the axis of nothing compared to what will happen in the future.
And that it will not be long before a storm will begin to rage in earnest.
───!
But…
‘Huh?’
There was no time to think deeply about the serious matter, and the accident occurred.
“What is this again…?”
Suddenly, the incarnation of the Dragon God disappeared, and at the same time, the divinity and soul that dwelled in the Dragon God’s incarnation were transformed into something familiar.
「…」
「Dragon? Absorbed the spirit of ‘Three ■?’”
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s victory against the incarnation of the Dragon God brought her closer to [Transcendence] by 18.4%.」 「As a
special reward for < Divinity Ascension >, the exclusive effect ‘Dragon Bowl’ (SSS-)’.]
「From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon can receive additional corrections to acquire dragon-related powers.」 It’s
nothing else…
「….」
「Unique trait ‘Necroman’ Poetry’s proficiency increases by 14%.」
It was simple.
“dragon? By absorbing the spirits of ‘Three ■?’, the special conditions have been satisfied.」
「 You can acquire one of the divinities possessed by the spirits of the dragon?
Dragon god > < Dragon horse > < Dragon cloud > < Dragon angle > < Dragon gun > < Yeokrin > < Dragon volcanic cone > < Thunder rain > < Yeouiju > < Deungyongmun >.
”
“…”
…the Dragon God’s incarnation was destroyed, and at the same time he was extracted as a spirit and was absorbed by me.
