462. Those who want to become a god on the 88th floor (1)
[I predicted that you would come back as a god.]
A voice filled with fatigue and alertness resounds.
[Since we are also aware of the situation on Earth. It’s not even that hard of a prediction. So, in preparation for that, the difficulty level of the labyrinth was set. That you have reached the transcendent, albeit imperfectly. Up to that point is within the permissible range]
Barbababamba descended into the labyrinth in perfect form.
[But… the authority of the old god is unexpected.]
A skill that denies the laws of the world applied to him. Transcendence [self-invariance].
“Is there a problem?”
[If it’s a problem, it overflows. That authority is dangerous. The law of the labyrinth can be distorted just by your presence here.]
“Don’t worry. Because I can’t handle it at that level yet.”
Self-invariance only activates when you make him the direct target. It has no effect on laws that just exist and naturally affect them according to the flow, such as the law of the labyrinth.
However, the vigilance did not disappear from Balbaba’s voice.
[As you said, it’s not a problem right now…but I don’t know what to do in the future.]
“At that time, I’ll make sure the labyrinth isn’t damaged.”
[That’s something I don’t know. There was no such thing as a being in this world
gaining the power of the Goddess, so I can’t conclude anything.]
Taesan didn’t deny it. Barbabamba’s vigilance was a reasonable one.
“so?”
[To be honest, I want to seal your power.]
Barbaba was the manager of the labyrinth.
He was the one who managed the labyrinth, removed all kinds of anxiety factors, and corrected errors. He was born for it.
That’s why Taesan’s self-immutability
bothered him and he couldn’t stand it.
[But… the wizard said to leave you alone.]
Barbabamba desperately suppressed his emotions.
[My master ordered it, so I’m not going to intervene either.]
“The wizard did it.”
[I don’t understand. To leave the possibility of destroying the labyrinth alone.]
Barbabamba grumbled, but didn’t seem to have any intention of refusing the wizard’s order. his eyes lit up
[I’m asking just in case, but don’t you have any intention of sealing your own immutability?]
“No.”
Taesan shook his head. Balbabamba said no more in a firm attitude.
[You’d better be careful. I don’t know how they stole the power of the old gods, but that’s not the power of this world. You can destroy and mess with this world. You, the owner of the power, are also included in it.]
Barbabamba warned Taesan.
It was a reasonable statement, so Taesan nodded his head in reply.
[I don’t know when you’ll blow it up, so I’ll have to prepare some labyrinth rewards. I thought things were sorted out, but I guess I’ll be busy again.]
“Wait a minute.”
Tae-san caught Barbaba-Bamba, who was about to go back.
[Why?]
“Can I use the points in other ways?”
Taesan now
has more than 20,000 points.
Until now, Taesan used points to raise skill proficiency.
However, as the proficiency of many skills rose above a certain level, it was becoming difficult to raise the proficiency with points.
In the case of the top skill, the point consumption compared to the proficiency was too great. Simply put, even if he used all the points he had now to raise his magic proficiency, he could only raise it by 3-4% at most. However
, there was no reason to raise the proficiency of appropriate skills .
In general, as the proficiency increased, the amount of consumption points was not small. And they were skills that would naturally reach 100% mastery without any investment.
Exchanging gold and stats was the worst of them all.
In the end, Taesan had nothing to do with points.
If you are the manager of the labyrinth, you will know how to do something. With that thought, Taesan caught Barbaba Bamba.
[Point.]
Barbaba stopped moving.
After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth.
[It is not impossible. For convenience, it is divided into three uses. Points are a kind of reward given to you. It can also be used in other ways. I thought it would be solved with three options, so I made it that way.]
“Really?”
Actually it was. Taesan also used the points usefully while coming this far.
However, he was so strong that raising his proficiency with points was inefficient.
Balbabamba made a decision.
[good night. Let’s give you one reward with the points you have. equipment and skills. Which of the two do you want?]
“Wait.”
This time, it was Taesan’s time to think.
“What level of equipment is it?”
[It’s enough that you won’t be disappointed. To be specific,
it is a level of equipment sold in stores today. Skills can also be considered to be of similar value.]
“That’s fortunate.”
Equipment worth 20,000 points. Converted into gold, it was only 200,000 gold. It was a serious loss for equipment of that much value.
Fortunately, that didn’t appear to be the case.
equipment and skills.
Conclusions came quickly.
“I’ll do it with skill.”
Taishan is Hafran and Kosrun. It was a close relationship with two outstanding blacksmiths
.
Equipment could be made using materials at any time.
But it wasn’t a skill. It was quite difficult to meet the conditions. Right now, he still hadn’t acquired some of the skills he had acquired in his previous life.
In terms of equal value, of course, the skill was higher. As Taesan concluded, Barbabamba quickly put it together.
[Then let me give you a choice.]
[1. Attack skill]
[2. Defense skill]
[3. Auxiliary skill]
“Are three things the end?”
[I’m sorry if you thought about getting the skill you want by explaining it yourself, but it’s impossible. That’s something that goes beyond the framework allowed by the labyrinth.]
Offensive and defensive assistance.
Taesan chose.
“As a secondary skill.”
In the case of attack skills, there was no meaning so far as they had borderlines. Defense skills
were the same. Neutralize self-invariant attacks, last chance survival, and so on. There were countless skills to sustain life.
If so, it was definitely an auxiliary skill. Barbaba accepted Taesan’s choice.
[Among the skills allowed to you right now… this would be appropriate.]
[Barbabamba activated #000421.]
[You obtained a special always-on skill [Cooldown Acceleration].]
Snow of the Mountain shone I was able to guess
the effect to some
extent just from the name of the skill.
[Special always activated skill: Cooldown acceleration]
[Proficiency level: 1%]
[You can reduce the cooldown by designating an equipment or skill that has a cooldown. However, if the cooldown exceeds one month, designation is not possible, and once designated, the target cannot be changed until the original cooldown of the equipment or skill is restored. Cooldown is reduced by 10%.]
It was a skill as expected. It was possible to accelerate the cooldown of skills or equipment with cooldown.
‘It’s considerable.’
Taesan was amazed.
Reduces cooldown by 10%. By itself, it didn’t mean much right now. Reducing the 30 days to the 27th would not have a big impact.
But what matters is the future, not the present.
The higher the proficiency of this skill, the greater the decrease. 10% to 30%, 30% to 50%. maybe
even more.
At that moment, the value rises exponentially.
You can use Copy every thirty minutes and Selective Exclusion every half day. In fact, it was a skill that multiplied the utility of the skill.
It was impossible to designate a cooldown of more than one month, but none of Taesan’s skills had a cooldown of more than one month. It was usable for virtually every skill.
[Looking at his expression, he seems satisfied
.]
“Enough.”
This was more than he expected.
Taesan immediately chose a skill to use the cooldown acceleration. That skill was a limited blink.
It’s 10% anyway, so it doesn’t mean much right now. In that case, he intended to quickly raise his proficiency by designating it as a skill that he could use often.
And Barbaba Bamba, who had been watching the scene, opened his mouth.
[Is the choice over?]
“Yes. But why are you waiting? Didn’t you have something to do?”
[Come to think of it, I had something to explain to you. Will you go down the labyrinth now? I’ll wait on the 88th floor.]
Barbaba’s body leaped through space. Taesan went down the stairs.
[Starting the quest on the 88th floor.]
[Bring stability to the world.]
[Reward: A stick of something crawling.]
[Secret reward: ???]
On the 88th floor, Barbabamba
was waiting.
[Here. The 88th floor is a new floor I made for you. Let me explain about the quest.]
Taesan stood in front of Barbaba Bamba.
Balbabamba’s mouth opened.
[The place you are going is Mariseion. It is a world where two immortals have been fighting for hundreds of years to become gods.]
“That’s strange.”
It wasn’t long before Taishan attained divinity. However, the quest on the 88th floor was related to him. Val Babamba replied calmly.
[It’s just a coincidence. What you do is simple. The long battle between the two immortals has devastated the world. Bring stability there and return the world to its original state.]
“Wait a minute.”
Taesan raised his hand.
[Do you have any questions?]
“If they become gods, do they want to be worshiped by everyone like me?”
[no. There are many ways to become a god. What you have reached is a very special method. Originally, it is simpler than that.]
“May I ask if there is a method?”
It was a story that had nothing to do with Taesan, who had already become a transcendent, but I was curious. The length to reach the transcendent.
Since
the Green Witch’s goal was to become a Transcendentalist, there was nothing wrong with keeping it.
[I’m sure you know. The god of Beguesetta. Harmon was not worshiped by everyone. But he was a god.]
“I was curious about that.”
Taishan only knew how to reach a lofty level by gaining a domain or by worshiping everyone. Balbabamba explained.
[There are several ways. One of them is the imprint on the world.]
“Imprint?”
[It is enough if the idea that that existence is God is embedded in everyone’s heart. It’s like common sense. If it is imprinted for such a long time and the imprint is engraved in the world, that being becomes a god.]
People think a certain being is a god.
That belief extends to other people.
In the end, if everyone thinks that existence is a god.
That being really becomes a god.
[If you receive worship, your status and
power as a god will increase. But the important thing is the imprint. People’s thoughts soon become power and create phenomena in the world. If you do that, you can become a god.]
Barbabamba pointed to Mount Tai.
[You are the one who forced that imprint into an extreme form of universal worship. Originally, I would have had to slowly gain faith over hundreds and thousands of years.]
“Is that so?”
[Other methods would have qualified in the first place. It doesn’t matter if it’s bloodline, contract or whatever. If you have the qualifications to become a god,
go through trials and overcome them, then you become a god. There are a few more… but I can’t tell you about those. The two methods I mentioned are universal ways to reach transcendence.]
“I don’t think it’s that difficult.”
[It’s not impossible. However, there is a limit to the level that can be reached in that way.]
Barbabamba said nonchalantly.
[There are two types of transcendentalists. One is a transcendental being who exists dependent on something
. And the other is a transcendental person who governs the laws of the world and controls concepts. Those who do not perish unless the concept itself perishes.] He
knew the difference. It was different from planetary gods such as Levine Nova and Harmon, gods of magic, and transcendental beings such as Maria.
[There are special cases such as demon gods, but the level of mastery over concepts cannot be reached by relying on something. It’s a place you have to reach only with your own strength.]
“Is that a difference?”
A green witch came to Taesan’s mind.
It wasn’t like she was unaware of this. With the power she possessed, it would not be impossible for her to slowly gain everyone’s worship.
‘Do you want to reach the realm of governing the laws?’
After organizing his thoughts, Taesan opened his mouth.
“Then the two immortals are trying to be imprinted as gods.”
[It’s close to that. The world is so messed up thanks to you. It also has a negative effect on the surroundings .
Solving that and returning is the quest this time.]
“Good.”
[Then go.]
Barbababamba opened the space. Taesan asked before entering.
“Does it matter in any way?”
[It doesn’t matter. Whether you pursue a peaceful way or solve it through a deal, or whether you step on it with force, it’s all your freedom.] “Yes,
this is it.”
At Balba Bamba’s answer, Taesan raised an eyebrow.
He pushed himself through the space.
A new world appeared.
Level up with skill
