_ Volume 20 Episode 24
499. The Forgotten Goddess (1)
[I…]
Akasha slowly opened her mouth.
[Something… comes to mind. But I can’t sort it out on my own. Still… just a little bit more
…]
“Hmm.”
The wizard stroked his chin. The gaze that had been directed towards Akasha was withdrawn.
“I’m curious, but
it’s not for me to ask. Where is your owner? Check it slowly.”
“I think so.”
Taesan replied. As if the errands were over, the wizard went into the space beyond.
“Then I am quite busy. You just have to return to the labyrinth toward that place.”
There was a passage at the tip of the wizard’s finger. The energy of the labyrinth was felt inside.
“Then, is there anything you want to ask me one last time?”
“How is it going with what I gave you
?”
” iced coffee.”
He said as if he had remembered a wizard.
“It is progressing faster than I thought. I think I will be able to make it to the level you want before long.”
” already?”
Taesan was surprised. I thought it might take several decades, but it was progressing faster than I thought.
“At first, I didn’t get it, but I was able to tune it to some extent because I used the stomach stone. It won’t be exactly what you’re hoping for…
but it won’t be long.”
“That’s good.”
Taesan laughed. It seemed that we could achieve our goal faster than expected.
“Then see you soon.”
The wizard left with those words.
There were quite a few things to check. Taesan opened the skill window.
[Divinity]
[Proficiency level: ???]
[A mark obtained by those who receive the faith of the world. I reached a stable place without being shaken by anything. Those who have reached this level are definitely worthy of being called gods.]
The description of the skill has changed. Previously, it was written as having attained one of the qualifications to be called a god, but now it has changed to the qualification to be called a god.
It was also called a stable seat that was not shaken by anything.
And even for Taesan,
a change that was close to that occurred.
Taesan’s class had changed very stably.
Now, faith can make his character stronger and stronger, but it cannot shake or cause him to fall. If there was even one remaining believer in him, he could maintain himself as a single god.
“Good.”
It wasn’t that he gained new strength or reached a level he hadn’t reached before, but being able to maintain a stable rank anywhere was a
great harvest in itself.
The proficiency part is ???, so I can’t tell in detail, but if I estimate the increase so far, it seems to have reached at least 60%.
‘Is this still not 100%?’
It was difficult for him to guess what was out there.
There was also quite a bit to gain. Remy Daos only dealt with divinity and did not show his authority. At first I thought it was hidden, but now I know why.
[Soul Skill: Divinity]
[Proficiency: 1%]
[Divinity obtained while burning oneself. Above all, it is bright and the floor does not exist. It is an authority that was barely obtained by someone who reached a high level by burning everything in himself.]
Why didn’t Remidaos use his own authority?
It was because his authority itself was divinity. Authority is everything you have built up. In a way, it was only natural that
the power of Remidaos, who received so much faith, was related to him .
That power was robbed by Taesan. Remidaos received a lot of faith and robbed the divinity and skills that Remidaos possessed, so the total amount of divinity increased almost three times compared to before. At this level, there was no need to show the floor in a moderate battle.
And that divinity will continue to increase. My faith in him will never fade.
‘The balance is broken.’
It used to be like that, but now the black color
is quite lacking compared to the divinity. Unlike the divine, the black color could only be obtained by dealing with the old god. There was no stable source of supply.
‘I’ll have to think of a way.’
And I also had something in mind. Taesan continued to check.
[Special permanent activation skill: God Slayer]
[Proficiency level: 1%]
[Slayer of God. The dignity and power of the god facing you has fallen just a little bit. When you fight against a god, your
strength and rank rise unconditionally.]
A skill obtained by killing a god. let’s kill
It wasn’t much different from other adversary rising skills, but there was a part that caught my eye.
It was the part where the power and rank rose unconditionally.
Today’s Mount Tai is a god of faith. This level was a kind of wall. After that, there was only the concept god level.
However, if it rises unconditionally, it will not mean that it is stopped at the current level
.
‘How is it?’
what level is it I needed to check it out later.
After tidying up to some extent, Taesan looked at Bard Ray.
“how is it?”
[not bad. no. actually good It’s the first time I’ve felt this kind of feeling.]
There was a lot of excitement in Bardray’s voice. While defeating Remidaos, a part of that power dwelled in Bard Ray. It seemed to have gained that much certain strength.
[Prince of the Ruined World: Bard Ray]
[The Empire of the Ruined World. Prince of Carvert. Bard Ray. Reborn with the sword as a body.]
[Attack power + 3626]
[The proficiency increase of all swordsmanship skills is greatly increased]
[Can assist oneself and help the owner by handling the holy energy.]
The attack power has increased greatly, and the self-defense Divine power was also obtained.
Bard Ray’s rank also rose considerably.
Akasha was also not very different from Bard Ray. His strength increased and he obtained divine power. But Akasha wasn’t paying attention to that at all.
Akasha was suffering.
“Does anything come to mind?”
[there is. But this memory… this is…]
Whether it was the establishment of a memory or whether it was contemplating what that memory was, Akasha looked very confused.
[Could you please wait a minute? I’ll get it sorted out soon.]
“Yes.”
I’m done checking roughly, so now I’m going back.
Taesan passed through the passage and stepped into the labyrinth.
Guangxi welcomed Taishan.
“haha! Ha ha ha ha ha! You’re back! I’m back!”
It was a dwarf.
The shopkeeper came running to Tai Shan with bloodshot eyes. Taesan
stepped back a little.
“How is it! Did you kill him!”
Taesan nodded without speaking. The shopkeeper’s face contorted with emotion.
“Ooooh! Ohhh! at las!”
he stamps his feet Waves containing emotions shake the labyrinth.
“The damn thing is finally dead! It’s gone! very good! good!”
Overjoyed, he grabbed Taesan by the shoulder.
“Thank you very much! Thanks to you, I was able to fulfill my loathsome wish!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out a marble from his bosom. As it was thrown into the air, the marble broke and the passage opened.
Beyond the passage, the world of the dwarves, where Taesan first arrived, was visible.
“wait! my people! I’m here! Your true king has returned!”
The shop owner shouted and
ran toward the aisle.
In an instant, Taesan was left alone in the labyrinth. Bard Ray muttered as if embarrassed.
[What is it?]
Koo-Goo-Gung!
At that moment, the floor of the labyrinth collapsed and Barbaba appeared.
[It’s ridiculous. No matter how much my wish came true, I would like at least to do the cleanup as a contractor before going
.
[There is still quite a lot left to deal with. They leave everything to me and leave. I’m dying of annoyance.]
“Is it over like this?”
[At least for him. Since your wish has been fulfilled, it must mean that there is nothing more to see here.]
“Then, what will be the reward?”
[Don’t worry about that problem. I’ll take care of it.]
As soon as Barbaba Bamba finished speaking, a system window appeared.
[Clear the 92nd floor quest.]
[The reward is determined by Barbaba Bamba and your opinion.]
Clear the quest.
However, the system that followed after that was different from usual. Balbabamba opened her mouth
fcj 三± ci ZA I .
[The reward for this quest has not been clearly determined. Depending on your performance and your choices, it changes variably.]
The reward for the 92nd floor is equipment from the shop.
But that doesn’t mean giving everything. There will be some limitations
.
[The problem is that the person who should have played the role suddenly left.] After
thinking for a while, Barbabamba made a decision.
[Wait a minute. I’ll check it quickly and come back.]
“Okay.”
Barbabamba is back. Taesan was left alone again.
Taesan looked at Akasha.
The emotions that swirled around Akasha
were slowly subsiding.
“Has it been sorted out?”
[Yes.]
Akasha answered in a calm voice.
Akasha absorbed some of Remidaos’ power in the process of falling.
And I remembered something.
However, I was very confused because my memory was not properly established.
The confusion has now subsided.
“What did you think of?”
[…it’s part of me]
Akasha said slowly.
[Part of memory. Fragments… Things I’ve done. And the things that happened there… they come to mind.]
[Then did you get your memories back?]
[No, it’s not. It is very fragmentary and cut into pieces. I don’t know what kind of person I was or what emotions I acted out of. However, although fragmentary, we were able to obtain some information. Among them was something about someone I served.]
Akasha took a moment to catch her breath. Then he said it slowly.
[I… I remembered his name.]
The one whom Akasha served.
A forgotten goddess who gave Taesan a quest.
“What is your name?”
The moment Akasha utters her name, something will happen. But Akasha couldn’t open her mouth. It was as if he guessed that something was going wrong the moment he said the name.
Taesan waited without a word. After a long time, Akasha barely opened her mouth.
[His name is Arilnan.]
A name is a value an individual has.
Even more so, if the person has reached a certain level, the value of the name is very high.
The name of a forgotten goddess is spit out in the world.
The existence that had been erased from the world was called. The name is imprinted in the universe, and the existence
appears again.
In the process, Taesan felt something.
That something inside him was shaken.
I don’t know what it is, and I can’t understand it, but it spread invisible waves in the universe. It felt like retrieving one’s own power.
the light shines brightly
One energy is condensed around the empty space.
[Uh.]
Bard Ray was taken aback. Taesan steps back.
Let’s go!
The condensed energy forms a rough shape.
It was a woman shining brightly.
She had long hair covering her whole body and was curled up like a fetus.
“….iced coffee.”
A voice rings out.
It was like the exclamation that a person confined in a prison where no light could be seen uttered when he saw the world. The woman slowly straightened herself.
“at las. You found me.”
She smiled brightly and looked at Taishan.
[The Forgotten Goddess. Arilnan has appeared.]
Level up with skill.
