Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 316
316. Transcendence (2)
I smiled at the system message that appeared in front of me.
「※ The 2nd Ascension obtained through < The Possibility of Transcendence > has reached 100%.」
Ascension.
With the effect attached to the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >, the time has come to raise the level of divinity again.
And this time, it wasn’t a promotion to official godhood, but a new level to ascend to the realm of ancient godhood.
‘Actually, I’ve filled 100% of the 2nd Ascension.’
It doesn’t even stop there.
Did it play a big role in killing the apostles who serve the ancient god, the demon?
In the blink of an eye, the growth was more than enough to fill the second ascension to 100%.
And the value of such a fact was not so small.
「Conditions satisfied.」
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon.」
「You have obtained the qualification to enter the ancient deity level.」
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon can obtain Deity Harmony by reaching 100% Ascension.」
「Ascension at 100% By reaching it, challenger Han Seong-yoon can obtain divinity expansion.”
“From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon’s ascension as an ancient deity begins.”
I feel it.
‘This…’
The divinity dwelling in the heart was facing a cataclysm.
Centering on divinity < transcendence > and divinity < death >, the concept of divinity itself is reaching a high place.
It feels like reassembling a puzzle from scratch.
The concept of divinity expands to a realm where even a formal godhead cannot rise, and the level of the soul rises accordingly.
‘What is this again?’
And as soon as I realized what it meant, I couldn’t help but be astonished.
‘Could it be that God’s name is increasing to two at all?’
It was worth it.
Originally, being a god is a kind of self-identity that is acquired by becoming a formal god.
Acquisition of divine names could be said to mean that divinity, which had been accumulated so far, escapes from the metaphysical realm, enters the metaphysical realm, and throws off the mortal status.
Therefore, divinity was the subject of abstract concepts.
[ …. ]
Therefore, it was not easy to accept the expansion of Shinmyeong into two.
…Of course, it was possible to use the power of the divine < death > at the level of the official godhood with the basic divine power ‘Apotheosis’ before.
Wasn’t it because he had been able to control the power of the divine < death > despite being a god of transcendence?
But this is a different track from that.
That should be the case too…
「Divinity < transcendence > harmonizes with divinity < death > to obtain a new spirit
.
「※The 2nd Ascension has reached 100%, so some of the mythological effects are applied twisted.」
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon is given the effect of < Cause and Effect Attunement >.
」 It will be adjusted.”
“Challenger Seongyoon Han can become an ancient deity without being interfered with by the constraints of the law of causality
. ”
Since you have obtained it, the level of divinity rises.”
「Challenger Seong-yoon Han can demonstrate the power of divinity that is unshakable against opponents of lower rank.」
And.
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s formal deity name has been partially adjusted to < Transcendence and God of Death >
.
」 Even if you don’t do it, you can maintain the spirit of < God of Transcendence and Death >.”
Soon, such a system message popped up in front of my eyes.
[ …. ]
Suddenly, the light of divinity dwelling in the heart began to leave the place.
Why did the divinity, which had never changed its location since obtaining divinity, now spread to all parts of the body?
The divine power that spread throughout the body without even having time to answer it soon settled down below the navel.
However, the divine power still did not stop moving.
‘It’s not quite in place, it’s like it’s gathering momentum…’
And it really was.
oh oh oh!
The divine power that had settled down in the lower court soared, emitting an infinitely intense light.
As if ascending in the true sense of the word.
Soon, the moment when divinity rises in a straight line from below the navel to the heart and from the heart to the brain like a dragon’s current.
Before I knew it, I felt that the three fields were connected as one, and the power of the divine power began to take over all parts of my body.
―Such nonsense…
And Dam Chun-wu, who sensed such a cataclysm, said in astonishment.
―Could it be that even the living body is now an appendage of divinity…?
It was.
The divinity, which had connected the triad before one knew it, was changing the body into a kind of divinity.
Her body, which had been narrowly within the human category until now, had completely crossed that line.
‘…Is this what it means to become an ancient deity?’
Originally, the body was supposed to function as a vessel to contain the divinity.
Even if it’s a god, it’s because mortals have evolved in the end.
Even if it was beyond mortal status, it was natural to put the water of divinity in the vessel of the body.
Therefore, life could be cut off when the bowl of Shingyeokdo was broken, and it could be compared to the extreme of technology such as martial arts or black magic.
After all, if the vessel called the body is broken, it will be the same for the godhead to die.
‘But not anymore.’
The divine is the body, and the body is the divine.
Now, the boundaries between the vessel and its contents have disappeared, and all that remains is the concept of divinity.
At best, it was close to the level of true immortality, where the body would not die to the point of being crushed.
‘Did I just become the concept itself?’
Even his own essence is attuned to divinity.
‘This is the realm of an ancient deity…’
In fact, becoming an ancient deity seemed to be a kind of conceptualization.
In other words, they have achieved unity with the divinity < transcendence > and the divinity < death >.
But it’s not entirely welcome.
If the mind was unstable, the will itself could have been eroded by the concept.
However, the power of conceptualization gained by becoming an ancient god had a reward commensurate with the risk.
[Is it immortality?…]
Being free from physical limitations means achieving immortality in the true sense of the word.
Even if your heart explodes, you won’t die.
As long as the divine power is intact, it is possible to survive.
Even deities who were no longer on the level of ancient deities could be crushed with no way to resist divinity.
[ …even though he just became an ancient deity, he has great power. ]
It was really close to the pinnacle of godhood.
But that didn’t create any feelings of arrogance.
After all, this is just what all the other ancient deities have experienced.
‘…What kind of level are the ancient deities in the realm beyond this?’
Beyond becoming the concept of divinity itself, which level are the ancient gods who have mastered through countless years looking forward to?
I don’t know.
…What level the Ancient Godhead is looking at, and how can the Tower suppress even such an Ancient Godhead?
nothing can be certain
‘I can’t help but not know now.’
So…
“The god of transcendence and death is looking at the demon over there.”
[The end doesn’t seem that far. ]
You will have to face all the truths that you have been forced to ignore.
***
Ancient deity.
It has reached a level where it can be seen as a transcendental person in a true sense.
And now I have become the very concept of transcendence and death.
‘But there are limits.’
However, I still needed time to prepare.
「Time ends.」
「The divine authority ‘Apotheosis’ will be deactivated and cannot be reused for 8 hours.」
It made sense.
“Ah…”
Because there was not enough divine power left to maintain the deification.
“Is it the exhaustion of divine power?”
Entering the realm of ancient godhood, even the divine power extracted from the apostles was used up.
Well, even if there is no apotheosis now, the fighting power itself will not drop so drastically.
The real problem is that the divine power has been consumed to the point that deification cannot be used.
In fact, since the divine power is the body, the exhaustion of the divine leads to a decrease in all abilities.
So I had no choice but to sit there.
“Then you have to refill it.”
Anyway, the divine power is not far away, so it will fill up.
That’s because there are exclusive effects obtained through Shinhwa < Possibility of Transcendence >.
And not only that, but as his level as a godhead increased, the basic recovery speed of his divine power also increased.
There should still be plenty of time, and the demon god probably doesn’t have enough patience, so it’s just a matter of recovering properly and going to the demon god.
‘Even though I’ve become an ancient deity, I’m still a bit lacking.’
Even if you become an immortal transcendental person, it is not without limitations.
Since the dependence on divine power is large, when the divine power is consumed, the power temporarily decreases.
And more than anything else, the instability in the mental aspect is much greater because the conceptualization has been achieved.
‘Perhaps the other ancient deities aren’t completely insane.’
Even if it wasn’t, it was common that the mind was attuned to the divinity.
Those who have risen to the ranks of godheads are likely to be distracted by the concept of divinity.
And the mental instability of ancient deities who abandoned their bodies and entered the realm of conceptualization will be highlighted.
[ …Maybe I’m just in the same situation. ]
At that, I smiled.
At this point, I probably won’t be able to discuss mental instability while looking at the gods.
Perhaps because of the divinity < transcendence >, I became very obsessed with growth, so if I were to insist on this, I wouldn’t call it normal.
‘It’s just that I’m relatively fine compared to other deities.’
But ironically, that’s why I was able to come this far.
It was because he used everything he could gain from climbing the tower as his goal, not as a means to advance on the road.
I didn’t get a shining lamp to go on a dark road, but I just went on a dark road because I wanted a lamp that was infinitely bright.
We did not acquire the means of power for a certain goal.
Because he made it his goal to become stronger himself, he was able to become infinitely stronger and eventually reached this point.
It is a truth that nothing can deny.
[So at least I’ll have to decide the end. ]
However, even if the sequence has changed, the time will come when power becomes a means rather than an end.
like now.
The truth that had to be there was right in front of my eyes, and there was a future that had to be done.
There was no time now.
‘It’s time to prepare for the trials on the 27th floor.’
Perhaps after crossing the next floor, the time for a crucial choice will come.
27th floor.
The worst ordeal that could kill all the managers who contracted themselves.
Therefore, force should now be turned into a means rather than an end.
‘As an ancient deity, if I raise my rank, I’ll be able to reach the tower.’
That’s why I focused on recovering divinity as much as possible.
No matter what I think about here, the fact that I have to reach the place in front of me doesn’t change.
At least 80% of his divine power had to be recovered before he could face the demon.
Perhaps a day or so would have been enough at the most, but was it not to the liking of Dam Chun-wu?
―…If you have reached the level of Daera Shinseon, shouldn’t you learn the means to recover the level of divine power?
Dam Chun-wu, who had managed to capture his surprised emotions, spoke like that.
―…If you can decompose Qi into the pure source of all things in heaven and earth, you will be able to recover some of your divine power.
But even so, there was no trepidation in his voice.
As if you couldn’t believe it, the thin shaking was repeated.
Perhaps, it is shocking that the ancient deity reached the stage and conceptualized it…. For
some reason, Damcheonwu tried hard to hide the fact that he was astonished.
―At the very least, if you have reached the ranks, you should be able to do that.
“Fable deungseon?”
―…This is another name for Ascension, which is referred to in my world. And that’s what you just accomplished.
“…”
I wondered why he was shocked to see the state of the ancient deity.
‘Awe.’
Dam Chun-wu was showing me a little bit of awe.
It was worth it.
After all, Damcheonwu was the leader of the blood demon cult and acted as a Murim person.
Perhaps he was greatly confused when he realized that the ancient godhood was the realm of immortality, which was referred to in his world.
-transcendence and death. You became the very concept of both. That is the height of the top line. … at a level that is only handed down in legends.
Even the shaking in his voice was like nothingness.
―…If I had known that the state of Daera Shinseon was such a monster, I wouldn’t have had any regrets in my lifetime.
Damcheonwu said bitterly, not knowing why.
―…No, it’s over now.
But that was only for a moment.
-Excuse me. Perhaps, if you concentrate your mind to disintegrate ki or mana, the recovery of divinity will be faster.
Just as it is, Damcheonwu sorted out his thoughts and recommended me to disassemble my magic.
“If so.”
And without replying to him, I started tearing apart the magic power in the magic circuit.
There’s not much time left, so there’s nothing wrong with having a means to quickly recover your divinity.
As if using a centrifugal separator, the moment when the magic power itself is quickly rotated and separated.
As it was, the mana was disturbed and an abnormality occurred.
‘…It’s amazing.’
The mana separated by the centrifugal force took on a form of pure white.
Even that pure white decomposition magic clung to the divinity and was melting as it was.
In other words, by dissolving mana, it means that the recovery speed of divinity can be increased.
And then I got a realization.
“ah.”
It’s nothing else…
‘Come to think of it, the challenger from the other world who appeared in England also said that.’
I had heard before that mana was used to obtain divinity.
‘At that time, I heard it, but did that mean this?’
three months.
It reminded me of a wizard from another world who had tried to gain faith by massacring citizens in London in the past.
At that time, one of the information obtained through torturing him was that it was possible to acquire divinity through pure energy.
“Now I understand.”
And with that, I was able to capture my realization.
‘In other words, is it a common route to obtain divinity by dissolving magical power?’
Having acquired divine power through necromancy while climbing the tower, I am like an irregular.
Originally, divinity itself must have been acquired in this way.
That’s why the legend of whether it’s a freshman or something remains.
By dissolving ki or mana, you will be able to learn the opportunity to cast off the mortal class.
But even now I know, it’s a story that doesn’t mean much.
‘Still, it’s great to be able to convert magical power into divine power.’
Is there any small meaning in that an old double track was collected?
If it was small, he was satisfied with the small income and focused on recovering his divinity, so his divine power rose quickly.
Roughly speaking, about 70% of the original divine power has been recovered.
At this point, I could focus less on restoring divinity, so I decided to finish what I had to do.
That’s right…
「The spirit piece ‘■■■[3/3]’ has satisfied the charge level.」
「
Currently, the potential divinities that can be acquired are < Corruption >, < Contamination >, and < Spells >.」 「
※The potential divinity that was not selected at this time will not appear as an option later.」
Kill the apostles who served the demons before. It is to use the opportunity to acquire divinity obtained by doing so.
‘There won’t be much to look at.’
However, contrary to his thoughts, he didn’t have to put much effort into choosing a divinity.
After all, the divine < corruption > and the divine < contamination > already know the contents, albeit roughly.
Whether it’s Divine < Corruption > or Divine < Pollution >, both are useless abilities compared to Divine < Eater >.
Then it would be better to obtain Paimon’s divine < spell >.
「Selection completed.」
「The divine < spell > is replaced with potential.」
Perhaps the divine < spell > is an ability to assist with black magic…
.
At least not much can be known until you try it yourself.
But now that I had everything I had to get and do, I couldn’t waste time.
[Is this all you can get now? ]
So…
[ …expected. ]
Now, isn’t it time to go see the demon beyond the black stone gate?
[How far will my power go against the ancient godhead?]
I was curious even if it wasn’t so.
Divinity < Remorse > Black magic Divinity < Spell > ‘Transcendence skill’ etc…
To what level will all the powers obtained from the Demon Realm be used?
‘…If a demon is the opponent, there must be a minimum income.’
The time has come to test everything that has been accumulated so far.
