Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 160
160. Apotheosis (4)
Self-defense.
It was, so to speak, a state of invincibility.
Beyond establishing a new principle by twisting the providence like a sword, the strong qi (罡氣) interferes with even twisting the providence.
An unparalleledly powerful technique that influences the surrounding magical energy into the user’s will and disrupts all the energy it touches as if dissolving it.
ultimate.
It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no suitable modifier other than that.
By the way…
“…”
A technique that has reached a state of invincibility that never seems to be defeated…
‘Did it break…?’
The sword he swung with a feeling of desperation penetrated completely.
‘What the hell is this…’
A black flow that has acquired the qualities of a god of death and has bloomed to be able to see.
The moment I drew the trajectory of the sword along the flow that seemed to have no meaning.
He knocked on the black dot engraved on the flag of self-defense and broke it vigorously.
And…
“Ugh…”
The result of this miraculous phenomenon was astonishing.
shiver.
The Heavenly Demon vomited as her heart was pierced, and black dead blood soon overflowed from her mouth.
The Heavenly Demon, who had regurgitated blood at once, had a face full of questions rather than pain.
“What is this…?”
She couldn’t hide her doubts, even though it would be difficult to stand still because her heart had been pierced.
Chow!
He immediately pulled out the Blood Heaven Demon Sword rooted in the Heavenly Demon’s heart, and soon the Heavenly Demon staggered back.
She shook violently, clutching at her heart.
“Heh heh heh heh heh…”
It seemed like he was forcibly repairing the piercing of his heart by using magic, but…
“The authority ‘sacred power’ is in an activated state.
” I knew better than that.
Suddenly, the black divinity clung to the heart of the Heavenly Demon, and it shook violently as if to stop it from repairing the heart.
As if he had tenacity to end his breath, the black divinity bit the Heavenly Demon’s heart.
“Kuhup…!”
Soon, from the heart of the Heavenly Demon, the gray divinity began to overflow to the outside.
Even if you didn’t have to look at the divinity, you could tell that the gray divinity was overflowing.
To that extent, the Heavenly Demon was in a state of ruin.
―…The suspension match has collapsed.
The blade of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled, and the words of Dam Cheonwoo came into my head.
―Not only the ancestral spirit, but also the divinity will be completely destroyed.
It’s a fact you already know.
Even without listening to him, he realized that the Heavenly Demon’s struggle was meaningless.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Demon fell to the floor, bleeding profusely.
“Have you… deceived… the woman…?”
To that question, I just shook my head without opening my mouth.
“Is that so….”
The Heavenly Demon laughed at him and said as if muttering.
“Did you qualify for the top spot only at the end of the day…”
Her black pearl-like eyes were filled with emptiness.
“Why… not you… you deserve it…”
After that, no more words could be heard.
And…
「Absorbed the spirit of the Heavenly Demon, ‘Cheonyusul’.」
「Skill level increased by 24.7%.」
Black smoke rising from the body of the Heavenly Demon flowed into me.
「Absorbs a spirit stronger than the user, and the power extraction judgment begins.」
Everything felt like a lie.
In fact, I was an underdog who couldn’t stand in this position.
If the battle proceeded according to the original flow, it would have been the Heavenly Horse who survived.
The Heavenly Demon’s self-defense technique was different from the clumsy sword-gang I created.
Both with a sword and with a sword.
There was no way to pierce that ultimate skill no matter what other skill he used.
However, I broke the Heavenly Demon’s self-defense flag and penetrated her heart.
[Judgment successful.]
That was the result of tenacity.
No, more precisely, it should be said that it is the result of the growth of the divine.
there was a memory
Suddenly, a message came to mind that the qualifications of a god of death were perfected…
I didn’t even want it, but the divinity was suddenly overlaid on my eyes.
And the black flow, the purpose of which was unknown, guided the sword path, and as he stretched out his sword along it, his self-defense was pierced. 「We have confirmed that
authority
exists in the spirit of the Heavenly Demon, ‘
Cheonyuseol’ .」
It was a really intuitive clue that I was qualified for the top line.
“It’s starting to reach godhood…”
It was hard to understand why divinity had suddenly begun to complete.
In a situation where I was on the verge of death, I remembered why I was climbing the tower.
The craving that started from a feeling like deficiency has now become an obsession that I can’t understand.
Has the obsession close to madness, not wanting to be oppressed by anyone, worked a miracle?
“…”
I don’t know.
However, I thought that the possibility exists enough.
‘Because divinity also responds to will.’
Perhaps there was a new path that opened up under the conditions of a runaway of emotions.
It is a miracle that cannot be explained otherwise.
「The special authority, ‘Heavenly Demon Regiment (S+)’, is imprinted in the soul of user Han Seong-yoon.」
Whoa!
I was awakened from my thoughts by a sudden trembling felt inside my body.
As if undergoing a cataclysm, strange movements were felt throughout his body.
As I was squinting my eyes at him, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled and I heard a voice.
―Has it finally started… Wasn’t it just a coincidence that he defeated the Heavenly Demon…
Damcheonwu muttered as if he was dumbfounded.
“What do you mean?”
―…There is no need to listen now. Anyway, sooner or later you will understand the meaning.
“…”
―The Heavenly Demon that died to you was not at the level of completion, but it was at the level of becoming the Ten Masters of the River and Lake. Do you think the blow that defeated such a formidable enemy was a coincidence?
It wasn’t like that.
Cause and effect were definitely connected.
―I noticed that your abilities absorbed the Heavenly Demon Body.
Dam Chun-wu quickly continued as if he had no time.
―The divinity is nearing completion and it has absorbed even the heavenly and demonic body, so from now on, the mind and body are completely harmonized.
“Harmony of mind and body…?”
―Just like the Heavenly Demon said right before he died, he now fully has the ‘qualifications’ as an official candidate.
I opened my eyes wide at the concept of a candidate that appeared without fail.
I understood it belatedly.
“No way…”
Is the road leading to the godhead open?
But before I could even ask that question, I suddenly felt my vision darken.
-Sit cross-legged and focus on your inner divinity. From now on, transcendence will begin.
I quickly sat up straight in my seat without even replying.
And…
“Choosing a divinity is now possible.”
“When you choose a divinity, you acquire the corresponding divinity
. ”
***
Eyes opened.
“…”
It wasn’t embarrassing because I was used to it to some extent.
I also noticed that I had entered the mental space and grasped the situation.
Unlike the spaces seen before, there was a singularity in this image space painted in white.
Exactly…
‘over there.’
There is a black door that does not know where it leads.
Of course, I didn’t know where it would lead, but I seemed to know what it was for.
establishment of divinity.
He was entrusted with the role of guiding me to the path to becoming a god.
So there was no hesitation.
Knock-!
The black door opened and what appeared was a familiar scene.
“Imagination space within an image space…”
A swirling glowing softly with a sword embedded in the center, a black background that seems to have no end, and bright lights leading to the
upper floors …. It was an image I had borrowed and seen.
thump-!
I didn’t even touch the black door, but as soon as I entered the new image space, it was firmly closed.
Of course, I had no intention of going back, so I didn’t care. I started walking
slowly
in the imaginary space that could be called my universe.
And I smiled bitterly at the thought that suddenly came to my mind. I guessed from before
‘God…’
that the tower would select the candidates and give them a chance to become gods.
I was dumbfounded to think that I had the opportunity to become a god right before my eyes.
Of course, even if he became a god, he wouldn’t really become incredibly strong.
It would be to the extent of acquiring the powers that were used at the time of the apostleization experience.
But…
‘That’s a huge benefit too.’
< death > < darkness > < immortality >.
The Divine Power, which consists of a total of three, gave a truly shocking ability.
< Death > forcibly cut off life with the ability to feel like a death god.
< Darkness > was able to swallow what it designated as an abyss-like shadow.
< Immortality > did not succumb to death and barely survived the fatal wound that should have died.
No matter what you get, you will be different from normal challengers.
So it didn’t matter if I didn’t gain the power to overcome everything immediately after becoming a god.
After all, one day he will grow to the point of being comparable to a true godhead.
‘Perhaps the divinity I will choose has something to do with them.’
However, they will not all appear as options for divine orientation.
That would be the case…
‘Well, since there is a god of darkness, you can’t choose darkness as a divinity.’
Even if you don’t know about < Death > or < Immortality >, < Darkness > already has a deity.
The god of darkness wearing a gloomy robe was the one who allowed me to become an apostle at that time.
In other words, < darkness > itself is highly likely to be an authority derived from the god of darkness.
Therefore, < Darkness > could not be expected as an option for divinity.
But on the other hand, it means that another divinity is worth expecting.
“…”
When I actually reached my destination, I realized that my guess was correct.
“I didn’t expect it to be configured like this…”
Let’s reach a place that is presumed to be the center of a black space like the universe.
Mysterious spheres glowing in many colors came into view.
dark light, red light, green light.
As soon as I saw the spheres composed of three colors, I could sense that they were divine.
‘It’s a bit surprising.’
I don’t know why, but besides < death > and < immortality >, there was another divinity.
After thinking about it for a while, I approached the dark light and reached out my hand.
and.
“Do you want to choose divine < death >?”
I smiled softly when the system message appeared.
‘As expected, it works like this.’
Since you said it was a choice, at least the Tower will tell you what it is.
So, I thought that if I stretched out my hand, I would know what the identity of each divinity was
.
Of course, I declined the option.
‘First of all, I need to know what the remaining divinities are.’
I then reached out for the red light, and soon a system message came to my mind.
「Would you like to choose Divinity < Immortality >?」
Up until this, it was a phrase that did not deviate greatly from expectations.
But… 「Do you want to choose the
Divine < Harmony >
?」
‘What is this again?’
harmony?
Somehow, I frowned at the divinity that seemed a little out of the blue… but
soon I noticed where this came from and laughed dumbfounded.
“Could it be that the lightsaber classified the divinity given to the magic skill as an option?”
But again, it wasn’t completely incomprehensible.
Since the lightsaber was said to be the heir to inherit the divinity… It
was not strange that it was classified as an option unlike the dark god.
However, Hwahwa had no intention of choosing in the first place, so he roughly passed.
‘Is it a situation where I have to choose one or the other?’
Currently, I am close to the situation where I am at the crossroads of < death > or < immortality >.
< Death > is incredibly strong, but < Immortality > was also hard to ignore.
< Immortality >, which I experienced before, showed the ability to ignore non-regeneration and instant death judgments.
Perhaps, if I choose < Immortality >, I will not be easily killed by any strong enemy.
But I wasn’t very attracted to it.
‘It’s best to not die in the first place.’
And since the unique characteristic itself has the ability to match < death >, the options are narrowed down.
That was the moment I was about to end my thoughts and choose divinity.
Whoa-!
Suddenly, a golden energy rushed from behind the three spheres.
It was as if it was announcing its own existence.
‘What is this again?’
Intrigued, I stopped my selection and quickly walked past the three spheres and beyond.
And…
“Ah…”
I could see the disparate golden orb beyond the three spheres.
Ugh-!
The golden light with a sense of freedom that would not be dominated by anything stimulated the mind.
The moment I saw it, I instinctively realized.
This… ”
Do
you want to choose Divinity < Transcendence >?”
“…”
This was a new divinity I had pioneered.
