Episode 505 Reprise Match (3)
Clean up after yourself.
The task itself of dealing with the higher deities summoned to the Altar of Divinity was not very difficult.
So whether it is divinity which is the basis of divinity or special powers or mythical powers there is no element that makes life feel threatened.
Even if a few high-ranking gods struggle to the death in the eyes of ancient gods it is no different from a child’s kicking.
That was actually the case.
───!
In fact even though many high-ranking gods drew on a lot of their powerless strength with a desperate determination the level of battle was lower than before.
Since they have significant differences in the status of divinity and soul it seems like they want to crush this side with high-firepower abilities or techniques with high maximum output…
If I had tried to engage in a firepower battle like that in the first place I was confident in that aspect and did not feel the need to engage in a firepower battle.
Is that why?
Fuhwaak—!
There wasn’t a single word.
Just by showing off supersonic movements and slashing the two swords in both hands a few times none of the higher-ranking gods can react and their bodies are split into hundreds of pieces and they die.
Without a chance to properly demonstrate the skills they had accumulated as high-ranking gods all of them without exception were cut into hundreds of pieces and met death with blood and flesh scattered.
Wow-!
Of course.
Crash-.
After putting the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword and the Heavenly Heavenly Sword into the scabbard I quenched my boredom and quenched my appetite.
‘As expected no matter how many enemies you kill that are nothing more than high-ranking gods it won’t be of much help.’
It was disappointing.
A state in which the level of divinity and soul is no longer growing because the myth <possibility of transcendence> has reached its highest point.
However apart from that I thought there might be an element of necromancy that could gradually increase the total amount of divine power or make it slightly stronger…
Well as I had felt before no matter how many high-level godheads I killed it was difficult for them to become noticeably stronger.
‘Even increasing the amount of divine power through repetitive tasks is a method that is far from efficient considering the number of high-ranking gods.’
It was impossible.
At the level of a high-level god it can be said that the minimum conditions to be called the ruler of the planet have been achieved.
It can be said that the possibility of meeting an enemy such as a high-ranking god or a formal god while passing through the road converges to zero.
The reason why you can easily encounter powerful enemies such as this is a high-ranking god or an official god is thanks to the special background of the Tower of Trials.
Even now that the relationship with the Tower of Trials had turned hostile he could not continue to become as strong as before.
‘Is it a fortunate thing among misfortunes that I can obtain concept divinity after killing a higher level god?’
Gooooo-!
step….
[Special conditions have been met by absorbing the commands of multiple high-ranking gods.]
[You can acquire five of the divinity possessed by many high-ranking spirits.]
[The potential divinity that can currently be acquired is <Watershed> <Artist> <Binding> <Refining> <Imface> <Illustrator> <Translator> <Infernal Person> <Inveterate Flower> <New Year’s Eve> <Weolgong>.]
[※At this time uneven potential divinity will not appear as an option in the future.]
It certainly wasn’t bad that he could still obtain divine abilities through necromancy.
Well these are concepts that seem quite vague for me to use in practice but…
Considering that you can make an Apostle God stronger by giving him the concept of divinity it will be of great help in terms of strengthening your allies’ strength.
This would be even more so if aside from the White Crane Swordsman and the Iron Blood Lord Lee Ha-yeon and Catherine Bennett on Earth were also made into apostles.
‘One thing is certain: if a higher level of deity collects a number of concept deities that serve as the basis for deity there is room for them to be utilized in some way in the future.’
Is that why?
Somehow after recalling that fact my somewhat depressed mood also seemed to improve.
Whatever happens in the future it is nice to know that there is still room to utilize the power gained by killing higher deities.
With a faint smile on my face I selected the five concepts of divinity from the system window that appeared beyond my field of vision and acquired them.
[….]
[Selection completed.]
[Divinity <Basin> <Fine> <Restraint> <Refining> <Imface> is replaced with potential.]
Originally many higher deities obtained the five concepts of divinity that were used as the basis of deity.
‘Well these five high-ranking deities showed a lot of good things in their own way during battle and their divinity and soul status were also on the decent side.’
In the future if Lee Ha-yeon or Catherine Bennett are made into apostles and reach the level of higher deities there is a high possibility that each of these will be good materials.
This is because the concept of divinity which the higher divinity uses as the basis of its own divinity is more deeply imbued with the status of divinity and soul.
Even if that wasn’t the case the five concept divinity’s supernormal abilities were also very useful.
Sacred <Watershed> is a wide-area crowd control technique whose potential increases depending on how it is applied so although the basic effect itself is disappointing it is not bad.
Well unlike the case above Holy <Fine> simply amplifies the damage received by enemies by two so it tends to be uniform but in other words it is compatible with any ability.
Moreover except that the sacred <side> appears to be difficult to use it has no flaws in attack and defense so if your skills are good its usefulness will be infinite.
And although sacred <Restraint> and Divine <Refining> are also divine supernormal abilities specialized for assisting in battle their use value as a linkage is high.
A smile automatically formed on my lips.
‘It’s pretty good.’
It is a good power if you think of it as being distributed to allies rather than being used directly.
Well I don’t really see the value in using it but our allies will see it differently.
Whether it’s Catherine Bennett or Lee Ha-yeon wouldn’t it feel like obtaining divinity the concept of a higher godhead is quite meaningful to those involved?
It seemed like I would need to return to Earth soon and take care of some backlogged work.
‘Do you look forward to when you return to Earth later? It will be rewarding.’
Pisik-.
Thinking of the people on Earth I let out a small smile and walked over to the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman who were hanging limply on the wall.
Turp plod trudge -.
“The cleanup is over. Now you can truly relax. “There are no risk factors.”
When it was announced that they had killed every single one of the higher-ranking deities summoned to the Altar of Divinity the two administrators showed signs of being somewhat fed up.
[The Lord of Iron Blood Canary Rugfeld opens his lips with a bitter smile on his face.]
[Hot. …That woman and I fought with the determination to die but we just barely withstood their attacks. Are you saying that they die like bugs in front of you? ]
[I am amazed and realize once again that there is a vast difference in power between Baek Seol-hwa and Baek Hak-seon.]
[ Is this… the gap between ancient gods and higher gods…? There is no way to express it other than that the world we live in is different. I… had no idea when or how they died. ]
“Of course.”
I answered calmly as if it was nothing unusual.
“Because there is a gap that can never be made up between those who have become ancient gods and those who have not.”
Depending on their compatibility or requirements high-ranking deities formal deities or quasi-deities can sometimes win even if there is a difference in the hierarchy of deities.
The same goes for mortals.
Perhaps if a mortal is lucky he or she may be able to be reborn as a god slayer by killing a higher god or a formal god.
This is especially true because challengers who climb the Tower of Trials also gain special abilities such as unique characteristics and skills.
step.
That’s just a story that goes all the way up to the higher gods.
“The ancient godhead is a being who achieved immortality by becoming the concept of divinity itself. “Strictly speaking it is not wrong to say that the world we live in is different.”
In fact it is safe to say that the three ancient deities the God of Darkness the Demon God and the Dragon God live in different worlds.
From the moment the concept becomes divinity itself and becomes a virtual concept and law that constitutes the universe doesn’t it break away from the shackles of the material world?
I had reached a world that was completely different from the higher deities and formal deities as well as the mortals below them.
The world we live in and the world we see.
Everything has to be different.
I also knew it well because not only had I become an ancient god but I was also on the path to ascending to heaven and becoming a transcendent.
step-.
“However this does not mean that the Ancient Godhead is invincible. Even strong people who became ancient gods have weaknesses. “It’s the same for me too.”
Apart from that isn’t there always an exception?
“I have seen ancient deities incapacitated several times by attacks unrelated to their divine hierarchy.”
Like me.
“You know what? Surprisingly even ancient deities are not completely immune to physical attacks. “You may lose consciousness in the face of physical force that exceeds the permissible limit.”
[ ? ]
“It’s real.”
[….]
Hasn’t this side already had several experiences in front of ancient gods overwhelming their opponents with overwhelming physical power generated at ultra-light speeds?
“also. Ancient Godhead’s heavy dependence on the concept of divinity is also a weakness. If you can temporarily neutralize or confuse the Conceptual Divinity in some way it is possible to win.”
[ …I think that’s impossible for us. I’m grateful that Seongyoon is helping me but it doesn’t make sense to deal directly with an ancient deity. You will be as disappointed as you expected. ]
However Baekhak Geomseon seemed to feel pressured by what I said and he lowered his head and answered like that.
[ …I’m still not sure. Even if you become a high-level god aren’t there clear limits? It is difficult to give a clear answer as to whether I will be able to live up to your expectations. ]
Is the same true for the Iron Blood Lord?
She also responded listlessly with a rare loss of confidence.
However in my view both administrators had at least one minimum condition to face the ancient godhead even if they could not kill it.
It’s just that those two managers haven’t yet fully realized what they gained from the fierce battle just now.
I laughed and spoke lightly to the two managers.
“no. The Precursor powers you both possess are capable of fighting ancient deities. also. This time we both realized our power as higher deities.”
[ her. You have awakened your power as a higher godhead…? Both? I’m not sure if he achieved enlightenment as a higher godhead… but isn’t that an illusion? ]
“It can’t be. It’s not an illusion it’s a fact. You both close your eyes for a moment and focus inward. Then you will understand.”
[…? ]
“Come on.”
As this person continued to urge with a smile on his face the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman also tilted their heads and soon followed the instructions.
“Feel it. The divine energy that fills the heart and the soul energy connected to it. “It won’t be that difficult.”
[….]
and….
Paaaa-!
Next moment.
Gooooo-!
In the blink of an eye the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman expressed surprise emitting dark red sacred power and golden sacred power respectively.
[The Lord of Iron Blood Canary Rugfeld expresses embarrassment at this completely unexpected achievement.]
[ her? No… what on earth is this…? How is this possible? This can’t be happening? ]
[Baek Seol-hwa the white crane swordsman opens her eyes wide and belatedly realizes that she has awakened a new power.]
[ also. …I’ve been feeling itchy somewhere since a while ago. I guess that’s what allowed me to control divine power. ]
“I know. Didn’t I tell you? “They both realized their power as apostles and as superior gods.”
I continued speaking with a faint smile on my face as if I knew that would happen.
“That also means that it is possible for the two of you to fight against an ancient god.”
Sze-.
“The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman. “Before you two are higher deities they are also my apostles and deities.”
And then the moment I extended my right hand towards the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Sword and radiated power.
Gooooo-!
At the same time the bodies of the two administrators were engulfed in jet-black and golden sacred power and an enormous amount of sacred power boiled up.
“From now on there is no need to be discouraged because both of you are depleting your divine power or lack the status of divinity and soul.”
It’s no different….
[The god of transcendence and death confidently confirms with an excited smile.]
[─That’s because from now on you two can be supplied with divine power at any time as apostles who have been given my concept of divinity. ]
Now both managers have the power to theoretically go toe-to-toe with ancient deities under certain conditions.
***
Some time has passed.
[Entered the waiting room on the 46th floor.]
Before I knew it I had returned to the private waiting room leaving the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman behind.
Chak-.
‘I think I got a lot more than I expected.’
The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman are able to handle the supernormal abilities of concept divinity as higher-ranking gods and this side can supply divine power.
also.
At the same time the two managers are also able to activate the divine supernormal abilities that correspond to the deteriorated versions of the divine <Transcendence> and the divine <Death>.
He also took his time and completed his own verification.
━Hmm. Is this truly divine <death>? …It’s fascinating. Is it polluting the very essence of things and leading to death? It’s devastating.
The Lord of Iron Blood’s divinity <Death> seemed similar to when I first became an official god and was able to handle the death of all things.
As expected the maximum output value of the sacred <Death> and its application limitations were clear but it was good.
━Wow…! Oh it’s amazing! Divinity <Transcendence> allows me to grow not only my concept of divinity but also my powers and skills very quickly! You can also create a power skill with just three skills!
The same goes for Baekhakgeomseon.
The basic performance of Divine <Transcendence> seemed to have remained the same but unlike me there was a limit to the number of power skills that could be created.
In addition the growth acceleration provided by Divine <Transcendence> also had an upper limit so it was not efficient enough to compare to mine.
‘Other than that everything was good.’
Now I can say that it is not my role to make the two managers stronger.
From now on the key is for the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman to hone their skills.
Until then it would be appropriate for me to be by their side and occasionally give them advice.
Then I remembered that I had completed everything I had to do and I was convinced that it was time to take care of the things I had been putting off.
‘We’ve finished strengthening the two administrators as apostles and gods and we’ve also gathered a great deal of information about the Forerunners and the Law of Forerunners.’
as soon as-.
[You can learn the ‘Law of Perception’ by choosing one of the new halos.]
[Revelator]
[*Explanation: You can learn the law of perception <Revelation>. The law of precognition <Revelation> applies ‘omniscience made of lies’ a power similar to that of a transcendental to the challenger for 10 minutes. However no matter what happens after that the law of precognition <revelation> completely disappears.]

[Leader]
[*Explanation: You can learn the Law of Perception <Guidance>. The Law of Presence <Guidance> allows all the powers of the challenger to be shared with up to 4 people. However those who use it must feel a deep intimacy with the challenger to the point where they are willing to sacrifice their lives.]

[*Explanation: You can learn the Law of Perception <Sacrifice>. The Law of Presence <Sacrifice> can resurrect any number of people for a short period of time at the cost of the challenger’s life. The information in your memory will be restored as is. The same goes for ancient deities.]

“Let’s get started.”
Before I knew it the time had come to decide what kind of pioneer I would become and acquire new powers.
