Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 201
201. Ancient Godhead (3)
Tension naturally increased at the newly learned truth.
“…”
It was just like that.
At the point where it might be possible to obliterate all gods, I am like an enemy to them.
Perhaps if I were a godhead, I wouldn’t be so calm.
If he might one day become my enemy, I would have killed him cleanly and nipped him in the bud.
Even in this place, all the deities who participated in the giant tree labyrinth event are gathered.
I chewed on my lips and thought.
‘What should I do?’
As he left the 7th floor stage, his apotheosis was also sealed, so he had no means of resistance.
With a holding skill like Last Resistance, you can avoid instant death once…
Will that be a meaningful way to buy time?
It won’t be.
‘Even if I revive as a final resistance, it won’t change if I die again.’
Then there are two remaining chances of survival.
The tower forced me out of this place.
or.
To use the #B-714 [Region Movement] exclusive authority previously passed on from Arya.
Should I say I’m lucky out of misfortune?
The conclusion was drawn that both had a high probability of survival.
‘…If we run to the manager’s area as soon as the final resistance is activated, we will be able to survive.’
Thinking so, I felt the alarm bells ringing in my brain subside.
But…
[Funny. How can you settle the commotion so quickly? Even that was not enough, and he even set up a survival strategy right away. ]
Then, seeing the God of Light speak in a joyful tone, the tension didn’t ease.
‘I thought I kept my poker face properly.’
The [Labyrinth Temple] is not the sanctuary of a certain deity.
It is impossible to read the thoughts revealed in the surface consciousness.
So it means that the god of light directly inferred my accident, which was not very good.
It means that the god of light, unlike the gods he has dealt with so far, is a real man of skill with experience.
[There is nothing to be so nervous about. I have no intention of harming you. ]
“….”
[Ah, of course I know you won’t believe me even if I say this. It’s not a hard word to believe. ]
“Yes.”
[But I bet you know that too? That if I tried to kill you, I could kill you a long time ago? ]
“…that’s not wrong either. Isn’t it because you want something from me?”
There is always cause and effect in everything.
There must be a reason why the god of light is not so hostile to me.
Maybe there is a purpose you want to achieve through me.
The same goes for other deities.
The fact that they also send me a message that is tinged with murder is the reason why they don’t attack me right away.
So…
“Tell me.”
Now it was my turn to find out why the deities were watching me.
“What the hell do you want from me?”
and.
[That’s what I meant in the first place, so I told you the truth. ]
The god of light soon got to the point in an emotionless tone.
[Challenger Han Seong-yoon. Most deities hate you. But why do you think it’s like that? ]
Before long.
[It’s simple. ]
A voice containing divinity continued from the form close to the halo of light.
[I think an existence that can annihilate the deities is valuable on this side as well. ]
***
At the words of the god of light, I narrowed my eyes and glared at the divine sphere of light.
“…”
I couldn’t understand.
‘Is an existence that can destroy a godhead worth it?’
It was hard to guess where on earth they looked and told me I was worthwhile.
However, in the words that followed soon after, the doubt was cleared a little.
[If you look at the tower, it’s a kind of divinity. It’s just that its power is stronger than that of an ancient deity. ]
“Are you convincing me to remove the tower?”
[That’s correct. ]
“…”
I replied in an emotionless tone.
“Do you think that would be possible?”
The tower is more powerful than an ancient deity.
That’s why you’re doing nonsensical things like fostering transcendentalists.
Raised by a tower with such tremendous power, I could have turned the blade to the tower, not the gods.
But…
“I’m not strong enough to betray the Tower, and there’s little to gain from betraying the Tower.”
It was hard to betray the tower in this position.
Then you won’t be able to climb the tower any more.
‘That’s troublesome.’
Still, as a challenger, I had a strong desire to climb the tower.
However, as if this was expected, the god of light spoke with a smile on his face.
[I knew I would refuse, but it’s a pity that it turned out like this. ]
“….”
[Then I won’t be tempted. trade with each other instead. ]
“A deal…?”
[The world says it’s a middle way. ]
The god of light shook the halo and continued.
[From now on, the Ancient Godhead will not interfere to harm you. ]
“What is that…”
[But don’t be hostile to a deity that hasn’t harmed you instead. ]
“….”
[Isn’t this a good enough deal? ]
“Then the deities hostile to me…”
[Don’t let that interfere. Live or die, you know. ]
“Okay. I think the terms of the deal will suffice.”
[ …the change of attitude is quick. ]
“Because I don’t hate trading without loss.”
The Ancient Godhead won’t lay a hand on me anymore.
Even other deities have the right to deal with those who do harm first.
This is a huge benefit, so there’s no reason to refuse it.
This would be a level that even the Tower could condone.
…maybe.
‘…Well, if he really wanted to dry the tower, he would have revealed his will.’
Seeing that the top didn’t show any reluctance, it must have been something that didn’t bother them.
I immediately nodded and accepted the deal.
And…
[Okay. Then this is the end of the deal…. Now you can talk. my friends ]
The god of light said so as if he had nothing to say.
friend (friend).
I knew immediately who the target was without thinking deeply.
‘an ancient deity.’
Those who sit in the top seats now have the right to speak.
[Uh heh heh. I thought I was going to die because it wasn’t fun. god of light. I even thought I wanted to sleep for a long time. ]
The first to respond to those words was the demon god.
[ Han Seong-yoon! There is no need to talk too long! The previous contract in Macheon has been excellently fulfilled! ]
He laughed cheerfully, then looked at me and shouted loudly.
[No, it was more than great! I could never have thought that he would drive all the gods on the 7th floor to ruin! It was more than expected! ]
“Ah yes…”
[So I will reward you! Hahaha! Even so, it seems like a reward already given to you by the God of Darkness! ]
“It doesn’t matter. The authority of the tower is a power that I have never encountered too much.”
[It’s nice to hear that! ]
After those words, the black energy from the demon’s body reached out and flowed into me like a flash.
「Acquisition of Exclusive Permission #A-9871[Gaze Blocking]」
「It becomes possible to completely block the line of sight of the Godhead and Administrator.」
「This can be activated and terminated at any time by the person who possesses the permission」
Blind Eyes.
It was a very good privilege in that it could be used not only by administrators but also by godheads.
‘Is this similar to the authority that allowed the Tower to arbitrarily disable observation of trials?’
Of course, the versatility itself would be superior to the ability to restrict the observation of trials written by the Tower.
In fact…
「Exclusive authority #A-9871[Gaze Blocking] is activated.」
「All deities and managers’ gazes are blocked at once.
」 did.
“that’s interesting.”
This does not stop at simple eye-blocking purposes.
‘I’ll be able to erase some of the shapeless pressure given through divinity.’
As I felt pleasure in it, I removed the activator of the gaze block, and soon a foolish voice was heard.
[Ughhh…! heir! I can give you anything like that! ]
It was a dragon god.
As if she couldn’t lose after seeing the reward given by the demon god, she immediately handed me a gray aura.
[I’ll give you this, don’t be like that, come under me! I’ve also learned the Dragon God style, so I’ll treat you well! ]
「Exclusive authority #K-1547[Information access] acquired.」
「View information possessed by beings of low rank through the system.」
「This exclusive authority can be used without restrictions even for non-living things.」
Information Reading.
Having received an unexpected reward, I smiled lightly.
‘I don’t think he had this kind of authority.’
Being able to know the information possessed by low-ranking beings was a considerable advantage.
That should be the case too…
[Exclusive authority #K-1547 [Information viewing] is activated.”
Through this, it is possible to see information that cannot be seen.
「Damcheonwu」
「A challenger who climbed to the 41st floor of the Tower of Trials as the 7th blood demon of the Blood Demon Faith
.
」 Waiting.」
「He is currently in a state of fear.」
Originally, I couldn’t see the information window of the Soul Ego nested in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword… but
by using the right to view information, I could now even see Damcheonwoo’s condition.
‘It’s interesting.’
I had been wondering why he was silent from before, but it seemed to be because he was frightened by the deities.
I don’t know what it means to wait for the moment of choice.
Still, I knew enough that this was a more useful power than I thought.
Of course…
[ Now that I’ve handed over the authority given to me by the Tower, will you accept my offer as an apostle? ]
“I don’t like it.”
[ uh? ]
“However, I will use the authority you gave me as a gift.”
Receiving a good authority is a given, and an offer to be an apostle is another matter.
[Where is that…! You bastard…! Even after learning dragon god skills at will! ]
「The dragon god proposes an apostleship to the challenger Han Seong-yoon!
」 Of course, it wasn’t from the dragon god, so I’m not grateful for this.”
[If you think about it, it’s because I gave permission to give the holy sword to Top! ]
「The dragon god proposes the apostleship to challenger Han Seong-yoon…!
」
「The dragon god offered the apostleship to challenger Han Seong-yoon…!」
[No…! Thank you, but please accept the offer as an apostle…! ]
The dragon god frowned and plastered the system messages with apostle suggestions…
「Exclusive authority #A-9871[Gaze Blocking] is activated.」
「All gods and administrators’ gazes are blocked at once.」
Gaze Blocking Authority When I activated it again, the system message plastering was also immediately cut off.
‘It’s nice to have authority.’
That’s because you can immediately cut off the annoying godhead.
Soon, I looked down from the dragon god, who was still grunting, and looked at a godhead.
“God of Proof.”
He was the first god of proof he encountered in the tower.
[ …okay. You’ve proven yourself enough. I will pay for that too. ]
With eyes that seemed to reflect everything like a mirror, he smiled and gave off pure white energy.
「Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward (1/2)] has been acquired.」 「
It becomes possible to increase the level of reward obtained through the trials of the tower.」
「However, currently [Increase reward (1/2)] is in an incomplete state.”
「Instead of a complete grade increase, it is a level where [+] is added to the normal grade.」
Compensation increase.
“her.”
Now, it’s beyond the point of being useful.
‘I don’t know what authority this is again…’
Being able to raise the level of rewards received from the tower is a force other than common sense.
Of course, it’s still at the level of adding [+] to the general grade… but
the story is different when you acquire the right to increase the full reward.
‘Because this authority is still only half.’
And the person who could complete this reward increase authority was determined.
I kept my eyes on the God of Proof.
But…
[If you pay for the rest of the proof, I’ll give you the rest. ]
The god of proof did not immediately complete the authority to increase the reward.
[ Common area on the 21st floor. I’ll wait for you at the Temple of Proof there. At that time, I will also clear your doubts. ]
I knew what the curiosity he was talking about.
11th floor ordeal.
The future me as seen through the holy relic prepared by the God of Proof.
About that, the God of Proof wants to tell you.
“It’s about the future me.”
[ okay. Originally, I was going to tell you in the holy ground in the Ares dimension. I mean, things are a little different. ]
“…I see. 21st floor common area. As soon as we arrive, we will come to you right away.”
[ Don’t expect. ]
With that said, the God of Proof closed his eyes as if his business was over…
「 Conditions
satisfied.」
As a result, challenger Han Seong-yoon escapes from the [Labyrinth Temple] and returns to the labyrinth where the hierarchy is omitted.”
In the message that followed, I felt a strange feeling of floating in my body.
「※When moving to the final layer of the labyrinth, ability recovery will not be activated due to skipping the layer.」 「
※However, as long as the ability is not restored, the difficulty of the final layer will be readjusted.」
Now, the end of the labyrinth was really approaching.
***
Hard.
Before I knew it, the appearance in my field of view changed and I entered a new stage.
「You have entered the 10th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth [End Dimension].」
「This place is the final layer of the labyrinth and is a place where all challengers who enter the labyrinth are tested.」 「
Show potential to overcome the limit.」
「Invoke the end The final layer of the labyrinth will be cleared when you withstand the power of God 4 or more times.”
The final layer of the labyrinth.
To the place where you can see the end of the Lunatic difficulty labyrinth.
After reading all the system messages that popped into my field of vision, I looked around.
“Is this the apocalypse dimension…”
The 10th floor stage was, as the name suggests, a dimension approaching the apocalypse.
The wreckage of collapsed buildings and the corpses that looked like something had been crushed were telling us that this world had come to an end.
As I silently watched the scene, my instincts set off an alarm.
I felt an unknown sense of alienation.
Looking at this place itself, I just had the impression that a dungeon break had taken place
.
“…”
As I was thinking about why that was, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword suddenly rang.
I was so frightened that I didn’t say anything, but I finally opened my mouth.
―This is
nonsense… This is… There is no way you can survive…
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
But…
「Exclusive authority #A-9871[Blind line of sight] temporarily loses authority due to divinity < fall >.」
“…!?”
Soon, the line of sight disappeared, and I immediately raised my head at the presence I felt in the sky.
It was because I felt a tremendous divinity that could not be measured.
And…
「The god of despair, fall, and madness is looking at you.」
Then I opened my eyes to the sky through the system messages.
“…what the hell is that?”
Beyond the haze of heterogeneous divinity…
“The god of despair, fall, and madness smiles at you.”
…Innumerable eyeballs floated on the surface of the cloud, smiling. was building
“The god of despair, fall and madness is greedy for your divinity.”
That’s a very unpleasant laugh.
