522. Final battle (5)
───.
Starlight.
The sacred starlight which swallows up and surpasses sound and even surpasses the supersonic range continues to run wild with a brilliant golden color.
God of transcendence and death. Even though the caster’s power which surpassed that of the three ancient gods was split split and diluted the surrounding space could not handle the aftermath of that power.
Tukwahak───!!
New York.
Although it is said that numerous buildings were destroyed and transformed into an uninhabitable demonic world due to the Apostle God’s rampage traces of it remained.
A scene like the prelude to the apocalypse is shown where everything in the big city has been completely destroyed as if it had been erased with an eraser leaving no trace.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo…
Time passes and the atmosphere trembles.
A couple of beats later the sound of the aftermath of the runaway resonates through the air like a lingering sound.
God of transcendence and death. To that absolutely powerful man this one-sided massacre was nothing more than stepping on ants.
Whoa!
The lingering look of victory did not appear on his face until the moment he cleared away the huge fog of dust with a single wave of his hand and stepped onto the ground.
Each and every one of the apostles and gods who have gone on rampage all over the world threatens the survival of a nation.
Guardian of humanity. Or he may have accomplished a feat worthy of being called a great hero. It’s normal for the winner’s feelings to show on the outside.
However despite this he kept a straight face as if he did not attach any significance to his victory over powerful forces that could destroy a country.
No emotion.
There was one thing that could be gleaned from that very calm emotionless face.
Even a strong man who destroys a nation is no different from a lowly ant.
That was all that was revealed very clearly.
ugh ugh ───.
Light footsteps echoed in the fog of dust mixed with the storm and the figure of the absolute powerhouse clearly appeared.
Jump and jump….
Seongyoon Han.
Whenever the world’s strongest hunter or the strongest challenger of all time is discussed the person who is mentioned first without room for disagreement.
As the god of transcendence and death the ancient godhead who is about to ascend to become one of the greatest gods in the universe is perfectly revealed.
Weeeing───.
The sky above New York.
Even in a battle of such overwhelming scale that it destroyed an entire large city the magic tool that was coated with the energy of divinity and mana and was not damaged made a mechanical sound.
Wow!
in other words.
From the beginning until now.
This means that everything from finding the secret base of the apostles in the Sahara desert to the battle that completely destroyed New York was being broadcast live around the world.
***
I looked up after landing on the ground that had been carved out unevenly by the starlight of the nova.
Above. A gray sphere with a built-in function for recording and transmitting video of magic tools floating in the sky caught my eye.
Not only did I coat the item with the Transcendent Myth <Spiritual Attack Attunement> but I also used a skill that linked the durability ability to the item which almost eliminated the possibility of it being destroyed.
‘As expected the function itself seems to have no problems.’
The magic tool for transmitting video floating in the sky provided by the British Clock Tower Guild was operating normally without a single scratch.
Using wandering around the Sahara Desert as the starting point for video transmission even after coming to New York and killing all the apostles he was still transmitting videos in real time around the world.
Well I had to leave out specific stories about the divine realm despair fall and the god of madness…
Except for some of the content none of it was censored and the video continued to be broadcast around the world.
‘The feeling of awe that people feel all over the world is also growing beyond imagination in terms of quality and quantity.’
Should I say it’s thanks to that?
Dudduddu───!
yesterday.
It had grown tremendously both qualitatively and quantitatively incomparably with the faith gained while dealing with the god of battle that had invaded Earth.
Well it wasn’t anything particularly strange. Unlike when the God of Battle invaded the Earth the rampage of the Apostle Godheads made the destruction of the world a reality.
‘I guess hope can only be established when there is despair.’
The existence of God has become nearly impossible to enforce on modern Earth due to existing religions and the development of science and technology.
Unlike other dimensions where it is taken for granted that higher deities or formal deities exist and exert influence the Earth itself did not even have mana users until the cataclysm.
It was an environment where it was nearly impossible for planetary gods or native gods to be born.
Even though I eventually became an ancient god and came close to reaching beyond the hierarchy of divinity I also failed to become a planetary god.
This proved the fact that becoming Earth’s planetary god was close to impossible.
Because of that I thought that becoming a planetary god would be impossible through normal methods so I gave up half the time.
But that is not the case anymore.
Gooooo-!
Planet God.
The planet itself is being reborn as a being using the concept of divinity as the basis of divinity.
I can feel that countless people from all over the world worship me and even offer prayers and send their faith to me.
I closed my eyes and read one by one the positive and negative emotions sent by people from all over the world.
‘I can feel it.’
Amidst hope and despair the emotion of awe blooms and negative emotions such as anger and rebuke also transform into one meaning.
“….”
miracle.
Everyone is desperately hoping for an absolute miracle that is not allowed to mere mortals.
I hope that peace of life can be restored that the dead can come back alive that everything that has been lost can reverse the natural order and return to its proper place.
subject of faith. At the center of it all was myself. Although many people long for hope and hope for a miracle not all of their wishes can come true.
‘I can’t help it. In the end the ancient deity was also just a borderline being who could not go beyond the hierarchy of divinity. ‘Because he is not an omnipotent god.’
step….
‘Well apart from that I’m not saying I can’t show any miracles.’
Apostles and gods are pouring in from all over the world and they can partially restore what people have lost.
Sigh….
“Is it a miracle?”
In response I bent down placed my right hand on the ground closed my eyes and spoke in a whisper with a small smile.
“It’s not like there’s anything you can’t show.”
and.
[The God of Transcendence and Death laughs a little as he improves the interpretation of the concept engraved in the divine abilities.]
[If you have considered this a miracle. ]
Hahahahahaha!
In an instant by changing the interpretation of the concept engraved in the sacred <Repentance> and twisting the perspective the divine supernormal ability itself changes.
Is it thanks to the improved technology of concept divinity obtained by twisting and changing the interpretation category of the concept of divinity <Dragon God> in the War of the Gods that its value shines?
The divine supernormal ability most suitable for resolving the current situation was engraved in the sacred <Repentance> and unleashed its power.
[Divine <Remorse> is used.]
[By interfering with the concept of the past in space and time you can return whatever you want to its past appearance.]
[However the greater the influence that the divine <Repentance> exerts by interfering with space and time the greater the price to pay.]
Next moment.
Whoa!
As time and space went backwards everything that was lost began to return to its original form.
The whole Earth.
***
god.
A virtual absolute.
It was not very common to substitute it for a real person and make it the subject of belief.
‘no. Is it correct to say that it is not uncommon but is almost non-existent? It would be even more so if you consider someone you know as a god.’
Tap tap tap….
Oh Chun-seok sitting next to Kim Seung-hoon chewed beef jerky and stared blankly at the bonfire before thinking of a man.
Seongyoon Han. God of transcendence and death. He is a being who has not only become an ancient god but is also said to be on the verge of ascension.
Kim Seung-hoon and Oh Chun-seok knew something about the hierarchy of divinity so they did not dismiss the existence of God as nonexistent but that did not mean they had faith.
Regardless of whether God exists neither Kim Seung-hoon nor Oh Chun-seok were able to worship someone in real life as a god.
Of course.
‘If I had accepted Seongyoon’s offer back then I might have become stronger but there’s no way I could serve someone I know as a god.’
Oh Chun-seok smiled bitterly and looked around him convinced once again that his thoughts were right.
worst case scenario. The government’s functions were lost as the president and those who acted on his behalf were massacred and the national army was completely disintegrated.
What’s more isn’t this a desperate situation where the private military company hired to reinforce the military power of the national army also broke the contract and fled to another dimension?
However despite this no one worships Han Seong-yoon who appeared like a savior and saved everyone as a god.
Even the fact that a survivor camp like this was created here is thanks to Han Seong-yoon’s colleagues.
[The Lord of Iron Blood Canary Rugfeld narrows her eyes and looks intently at the people.]
[ …It would be good to thank Han Seong-yoon the god of transcendence and death. He even abandoned us for your sake and is trying to resolve the current situation. ]
[Baek Seol-hwa the white crane swordsman nods her head and agrees with a wide smile.]
[…Hmph. Of course. Seongyoon- Ah! No if the gods of transcendence and death had not worked hard to rescue survivors none of you would have survived. So make sure to pray! ]
“….”
A woman with silver hair in uniform and a woman with white hair in military uniform walk around the survivor camp encouraging religious activities.
Kim Seung-hoon no longer showed any particular reaction but Oh Chun-seok who heard those words every meal time felt strange.
Was it because he was told that he had no intention of becoming an apostle?
The emotions I felt after joining the survivor camp and meeting Han Seong-yoon’s colleague(?) were strange in many ways.
‘Seongyoon said they were colleagues but no matter how you look at them aren’t they fanatics…?’
To be more specific the fact that those two women were not challengers from Earth was also a concern.
The Tower of Trials has been designated as an official climbing dimension and challengers from other dimensions cannot easily enter and exit the Earth dimension.
Even if that wasn’t the case it was even more so because they both seemed to feel more than just ordinary colleagues with Han Seong-yoon.
Like Lee Ha-yeon or Catherine Bennett.
‘There’s something like that.’
What the two women who are presumed to be challengers from another dimension as well as Lee Ha-yeon and Catherine Bennett have in common is that they have extreme trust in Han Seong-yoon.
I couldn’t help but feel strange because it was a level of trust that went beyond the level of trust in normal peer relationships and bordered on insanity or obsession.
However despite this regardless of his fanatical extremes there was not a single person who followed those words and prayed to Han Seong-yoon or truly believed in him.
Even though he was praised for his great achievements and called a hero the number of people who considered him a god and worshiped him did not increase much.
Of course.
‘I guess so.’
Even if they recognized Han Seong-yoon’s overwhelming power itself there were no people who recognized him as a god or as a subject of faith.
Han Seong-yoon is an absolute powerhouse and has the dignity of a destroyer but the mystery of the creator is nowhere to be believed and accepted as God itself.
Creation and destruction are two sides of the same coin but destroyer is not a synonym for creator.
An absolute powerhouse. Therefore it is possible for him to be revered but it is impossible for him to be an object of worship.
In order to prove the existence of God his power is specialized in destruction not creation and there is nothing that can be considered a miracle of God.
God and non-gods are determined by the presence or absence of miracles and miracles are miracles that come from creation not destruction.
That is why not only Kim Seung-hoon but also Oh Chun-seok rejected the offer of apostle deity because they could not truly regard Han Seong-yoon as an object of worship.
There were only a few people who regarded Han Seong-yoon as a god and served him and although he was a god his existence was not recognized.
Until before.
Weeeing───.
Some time has passed.
Currently Han Seong-yoon’s overwhelming power is being revealed through magic tools with video reception and output functions placed throughout the survivor camp.
The sight of the apostles who went on a rampage all over the world causing countless casualties and even destroying some countries dying at the hands of Han Seong-yoon was broadcast live to everyone.
Those who saw the complete destruction of a city and the simple change of geographical features fell silent.
It is difficult for an absolute powerhouse to acknowledge the existence of God but the story changes when even that first person passes the critical point.
Kim Seung-hoon looked at the live video with a stern expression and Oh Chun-seok also trembled at the unprecedented incarnation of destruction.
Because it was a force that crossed the line.
‘No matter how strong a person becomes isn’t it impossible for him to have that much power?’
I thought.
Maybe it is not impossible to regard Han Seong-yoon as a god and serve him.
I thought that the power of destruction rather than creation might also be able to replace the majesty of God if it exceeds its limits.
‘How on earth is something like that possible?’
After meeting at the Tower of Trials they traveled back and forth between Earth and often joined forces but the gap between them has now become so big that it is impossible to tell where the difference is.
An absolute powerhouse. That power which is no different from the incarnation of destruction served as the cornerstone for stripping away the human skin written by Han Seong-yoon and recognizing the existence of God.
As time goes by many people may come to regard him as a god and serve him.
━Is it a miracle?
step….
━It’s not something you can’t show.
That too is only for a moment.
━If you have considered this a miracle.
At the same time the moment when Han Seong-yoon put his hand on the ground and exuded strange power after putting an unknown story into his mouth.
───.
I saw it.
“…uh?”
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
The entire space and time is rewound.
The remains of buildings filling the sky and the distorted terrain caused by the aftermath of a fierce battle creaking back into place as if a video was being played in reverse.
Unlike the crude tents and temporary shelters built under the name of a survivor camp high-rise buildings shops and existing high-tech facilities go back in time and resemble their original form before they were destroyed.
Goooo───!
This is no different in New York where broadcasts are still being sent from the magic tool placed in the place of the survivor camp.
The shape of the big city which had disappeared without leaving a trace due to the starlight of the nova returned with a reversal of time and space.
The reversal of time and space occurring simultaneously around the world revealed the restoration of material damage across the planet and changed everyone’s perception.
Kim Seung-hoon began to show feelings of awe and reverence and Oh Chun-seok opened his eyes in shock and trepidation.
That means only one thing.
“This is it….”
It’s no different….
“god.”
Seongyoon Han.
I had to realize that he was a being who should be considered a god.
earth. It was the moment when a planetary god was born who achieved an unprecedented feat in a world where gods did not exist.
***
yesterday.
━※He is followed by countless people on the Earth level.
━※The efficiency with which faith is harvested greatly increases.
━….
There were system messages that had already been seen once when the God of Battle invaded Earth.
━※When faith is harvested above a certain level on the Earth level you can become the God of Earth.
━※When you become the god of Earth you can obtain the sacred <Earth>.
━….
Planet God.
God of Earth.
That I no one else can become Earth’s planetary god and earn the right to sit on that unique throne.
After that day despite repeated activities on Earth he was unable to become a planetary god but in the end he achieved his wish albeit late.
[He is recognized as a god by most of the intelligent beings currently existing on Earth and is worshiped at an unprecedented level.]
[….]
It’s no different….
[….]
[Conditions met.]
[The sacred <Earth> has been acquired.]
god.
[The achievement ‘God of Earth’ has been achieved.]
[Exclusive permission #D-0007[Increased Compensation] is automatically activated when the conditions are met.]
[The level of rewards obtained from achievements increases.]
[All abilities increase by 1000.]
I became the god of Earth.
***
God of Earth.
By acquiring the divine <Earth> and placing the concept of the planet itself to support the foundation of the godhead the world looks completely different.
It was thought that it would not be able to become stronger at the point where it had a level of divinity and soul that slightly surpassed that of the three ancient gods but that was not the case.
‘So this is a planetary god?’
Everything feels as clear as if it were placed in the palm of your hand and everything feels shallow as if you could squeeze it and explode it.
Ouch-!
Refreshing.
A smile forms on my lips.
Both destroying and saving.
I feel like everything will go my way.
Should I say that I feel as if I have used the world itself as my other limbs?
‘It’s enormous.’
So I was confident.
‘You can finish your preliminary preparation here.’
After returning to Earth we obtained and achieved everything that needed to be prepared in advance for the final war as planned.
‘There’s no need to measure front and back anymore.’
If so isn’t there only one thing left to do?
Eat.
“Let’s get started.”
It’s no different….
“From now on….”
It was simple.
[The god of transcendence and death puts a cool smile on his lips realizing that the moment to declare war has come.]
[It is a fight to become a transcendent. ]
Final battle.
The stage actors and props.
Now that everything is ready there is no need to waste any more time.
Before we know it the time has come to confront the god of despair fall and madness with pure force.
