Episode 507 Reprise Match (5)
A strange incident occurred at the moment when the pioneer ‘Revelator’ was selected as the new halo and the learning of the laws of vision began.
[….]
[Selection completed.]
[The pioneer ‘Revelator’ was decided as the new halo.]
Woooooong───!
Suddenly a beam of pure white light struck like a thunderbolt before my eyes my skin felt hot as if on fire and a strange passion emanated from my entire body.
[By acquiring the Law of Perception <Revelation> the symbol of the priesthood will be engraved on the body and soul.]
Chizzy───!
‘uh?’
And very roughly.
Kwaaaang-!
belch.
At the same time I felt that all my senses were blocked and my consciousness was fading as if I was about to pass out.
At best the only thing that was possible was to grit one’s teeth so as not to lose consciousness and protect oneself as if one were a divinity or a soul.
However despite this the shock of unknown origin does not go away and causes intense pain to both body and soul.
‘shit….’
I was in such excruciating pain that I couldn’t even scream but I managed to not collapse and grimaced after regaining my sense of balance.
thud-!
At least as I responded by leaning against the wall of the stone chamber and using the status of divinity and soul the pain I felt in my body and soul seemed to be much relieved than before.
‘What is this….’
It was absurd.
As far as I know there has never been a case where such pain occurred to the body and soul while learning the law of vision given by the Tower of Trials.
There has never been a single mention of the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Sword as well as Dam Cheon-woo suffering in the same way.
It could not have been normal for such great pain to be inflicted not only on the body but also on the soul.
‘By learning the law of precognition <revelation> the priest’s symbol is engraved on the body and soul…?’
This was especially true if I who had obtained power comparable to that of the three ancient gods almost lost consciousness.
Before I knew it I had regained my ability to think by refining my body and soul to the level of divinity and soul and started to figure it out.
It was necessary to learn the law of precognition <Revelation> as quickly as possible and find out what changes occurred in the body and soul.
In the worst case even though it is a very low probability there may be an unpleasant problem.
‘What has changed?’
I closed my eyes and focused on my body and soul to figure out what had changed.
Surprisingly it did not take long to learn the law of precognition <revelation> and to find out the meaning of the ‘priestly symbol’ engraved on the body and soul.
The myth of this side <the possibility of transcendence> has reached its final stage and the door to ascension to heaven has been engraved in the soul and the key to ascension has been engraved in the body.
It had changed into a strange form unlike before.
“….”
If we were to be serious should we say that each soul and body with the Gate of Ascension and the Key of Ascension inscribed have a control device?
Currently this side is taking power little by little from beyond the Gate of Ascension to prevent a permanent decline in power.
In order to stop the start of ascension it is an expedient to forcibly withstand the mortal bondage imposed on oneself by divine <death>…
Thanks to this I was able to learn the law of precognition <revelation> and realize in time the practical function of the ‘priestly symbol’ engraved on the body and soul.
fortunately.
‘This is outrageous.’
It’s no different….
‘I never would have thought that the ‘false omniscience and omnipotence’ obtained by activating the law of precognition <revelation> was something like this.’
The ‘Priestly Symbol’ engraved on the body and soul was a control device to forcibly draw and use power from beyond the Gate of Ascension.
“under.”
When I thought about what it was a control device to achieve as a result I couldn’t help but laugh.
“this….”
It was worth it.
‘Revelator’ The use effect ‘Omnipotence made of lies’ can be applied for 10 minutes by activating the precognitive law <Revelation>.
This was because it was to partially seize the power of the ‘transcendant’ that existed beyond the Gate of Ascension and literally manipulate the power of omniscience and omnipotence even if it was only falsely.
like….
“It’s awesome?”
Like the Tower of Trials.
***
I knew that the power of the Law of Perception created by mobilizing all the capabilities of the Tower of Trials was a supernormal ability beyond common sense.
However despite this the law of perception <Revelation> was an irregularity that differed from the rules of perception created by the Tower of Trials.
Of course.
━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.
‘…I didn’t know that gaining power equivalent to that of a transcendent would literally mean being able to partially handle the power of omniscience and omnipotence that can only be handled by becoming a transcendent.’
In fact when I first saw the ‘false omniscience and omnipotence’ that could be obtained by activating the law of precognition <Revelation> I did not have very high expectations.
Although acquiring a power greater than that of the three ancient gods is a confirmed factor regardless of that part it is believed that a power comparable to that of a transcendental person cannot possibly imitate the power of a true transcendental person.
But that wasn’t the case.
‘I think I’ve gotten a bigger hidden card than I thought.’
At the same time as this side acquires the law of enlightenment <Revelation> isn’t the ‘Priestly Symbol’ engraved on the body and soul a control device to forcibly draw the power that is only available to transcendental people beyond the gate of ascension?
It was certain that the power of omniscience and omnipotence which could only be obtained by reaching the imaginary state of the transcendent could be wielded without cost only once.
Well unlike the power of omniscience and omnipotence that comes from becoming a true transcendent there are also limitations…
Even taking that into account it was an incredibly heterogeneous power.
‘If I can reach a level similar to the Tower of Trials even just for a moment I will be able to gain more than I thought.’
I thought maybe in some ways it might be better than the Tower of Trials.
The Tower of Trials cannot escape from the rules of the system it has created but there are no such restrictions at all here.
Even if the power of ‘omnipotence made of lies’ obtained by activating the law of precognition <revelation> was a miracle that lasted for about ten minutes the same would have been the case.
‘That’s not bad.’
yesterday.
I’ve thought about it several times since I realized that I shouldn’t become a Transcendent yet and forced the start of my ascension to a halt.
If succeeding in ascending to heaven and being reborn as a transcendent person essentially means destroying one’s ego then one must take on a new challenge rather than the existing method.
That’s why I too have prepared in advance by continuing to climb the Tower of Trials.
‘Is it time to finish the preliminary preparations?…’
All or nothing.
I don’t know if I will succeed or fail in gambling…
Now at least one thing seemed certain about what would happen next.
“…I guess it’s not long until I become a transcendent.”
I guess…
In the near future I will succeed in becoming a transcendent and achieve what I desire.
Ultimately it may be the worst ending that erases the entire universe itself.
***
Slowly I felt like I had gained almost everything I could from the Tower of Trials.
‘Perhaps from now on if we wait longer here it won’t be possible to get anything more.’
Now there is literally nothing to do other than climb the Tower of Trials and reach the final floor.
Well since the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman have become apostles and are ready to nullify the subordination contract with the Tower of Trials at any time there is no need to regret it anymore.
It would have been better to climb the Tower of Trials to the final floor as quickly as possible and then return to Earth.
‘Well if something happens that makes it impossible to climb the Tower of Trials to the final floor that too will be unavoidable.’
It doesn’t matter if the Tower of Trials tricks me into preventing me from reaching the final floor.
Anyway once I obtained the Law of Perception <Revelation> from the Tower of Trials there was no more business to do here.
The preliminary preparations were over.
‘First of all I got everything I wanted from the Tower of Trials. It would be better to go back to Earth and be prepared.’
I had no intention of wasting time and energy so I planned to quickly get to where I could climb and see the end.
After finishing getting ready to go up to the next floor I moved forward and continued my thoughts.
We had unintentionally heard about the ordeal on the 46th floor from the two managers.
‘Did the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman say that the next floor is an integrated ordeal?’
Lord of Iron Blood and Baekhakgeomseon said that the 46th floor is an integrated trial where multiple managers and challengers come together and fight as a team.
Did you say that the goal is to capture as many flags as possible while protecting each team from the other teams?
So I wasn’t looking forward to it.
Because it’s normal.
‘If we just kill all the administrators and challengers as soon as the 46th floor trial begins there’s no need to do anything like Capture the Flag right?’
and….
[….]
[Enter the 46th floor of the Tower of Trials.]
[Difficulty level? difficulty]
[The theme of the ordeal is ‘Capture the Flag.’]
[I hope there will be a satisfactory result after the asceticism chosen by the challenger.]
In fact it was exactly the same as what I had heard before.
[The 46th floor ordeal begins.]
[Remaining time? 14 days]
[Conditions for passing the ordeal? Capture 4 or more flags from the opposing team within the remaining time]
[Criteria for trial failure? Death of challenger or end of remaining time]
[Reward for passing the ordeal? All abilities +100]
[Trial failure penalty? dying]
‘As expected as I heard earlier there is nothing much to see….’
however….
Cheesy!
It was then.
‘uh?’
Suddenly the system messages displayed in the field of view before being moved to the Trial Stage on the 46th floor of the Tower of Trials became distorted.
‘What is this….’
It’s not even just that.
[….]
[The law of foreshadowing <Resurrection> is automatically activated when the conditions are met.]
[The law of foreshadowing <Resurrection> begins to revive the caster after death temporarily lending some of the Tower of Trials’ exclusive powers.]
[The law of precognition <Resurrection> reorganizes the trial theme and trial content to revive the caster after death.]
‘what?’
Suddenly the ordeal on the 46th floor changed into something completely different as unknown system messages appeared before my eyes.
[….]
[Ordeal modification completed.]
And in a direction I hadn’t even thought of.
[Enter the 46th floor of the Tower of Trials.]
[Difficulty level? difficulty]
[The theme of the trial is ‘Resurrection of the Losers.’]
[I hope there will be a satisfactory result after the asceticism chosen by the challenger.]
It’s no different….
[The 46th floor ordeal begins.]
[Remaining time? 10 days]
[Conditions for passing the ordeal? Kill the ‘Resurrected One.’]
[Trial failure conditions? Death of challenger or end of remaining time]
[Reward for passing the ordeal? Vessel of Revival (SSS+)]
[Trial failure penalty? dying]
…It was an extraordinary event.
