Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 425
425. War of the Gods (2)
Tome of Divine Replication (EX).
It was the highest grade item that had never been seen even once, despite the numerous rewards obtained while climbing the Tower of Trials.
This side had already experienced what they could get with the ‘Tome of Divine Reproduction (EX)’, so I was sure.
“…”
It was truly a genius opportunity.
In the War of the Gods, the higher the contribution the order side has accumulated by winning, the wider the options for victory compensation that can be demanded from the God of Creation.
Not to mention, the god of creation said that she could create any number of holy relics or items that even she herself did not know about.
‘I’ll be thrilled.’
That means one thing.
‘To think I’m getting the chance to get my hands on a first-class item that I thought I’d never see again…’ It’s
nothing else—.
‘Isn’t that great?’
In a nutshell, wouldn’t it be possible to obtain the ‘Divine Replica Book (EX)’ once again, depending on what this side does?
‘Actually, even if I climbed the Tower of Trials all the way, I thought I wouldn’t be able to get top-notch items like the Tome of Divine Replication anymore.’
Excited.
Even if it is a divinity of a high concept of the Tower of Trials or an ancient deity, you can acquire it without any conditions if you use the ‘Divine Replica Book (EX)’.
If it is a supernormal ability of a divinity that exists in this universe, even if it is composed of some high-level concept, it is possible to acquire it without difficulty as long as you know about the supernormal ability of that divinity.
In fact, it is nothing short of a miracle.
‘At this point, the course of action will be quite different.’
At that, I barely managed to calm my excitement, and my eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Originally, the condition for clearing the ordeal given by the Tower of Trials was to endure until the end of the War of the Gods.
No matter how the war of the gods progressed, until this ordeal on the 36th floor was over, I was planning to keep a position close to the observer
…
“If you participate in the victory of the order side in the War of the Gods, you can get anything you want for one thing.”
obviously.
“If that’s true, let’s take responsibility and try so that the order side can win in this war of the gods.”
and.
“But it’s ambiguous to trust only verbal contracts.”
[ …what do you understand? You want to get me a pact that has coercive effects. Just to make sure that no unfortunate incidents happen. ]
“Yes. Even if you participate in winning the war of the gods, you could betray me. It’s because I don’t really want that.”
[It’s sad. Even if you don’t, things like betrayal won’t happen. From now on, you and I will act as colleagues on the same boat, right? It’s okay if we trust each other a little more…]
“—You and the like?”
next moment.
“Are you kidding me right now?”
[What the hell is that…]
“Don’t get me wrong.”
[ …. ]
Just like that, I said it with a sneer on my lips.
“Participating in the victory of the orderly side in the War of the Gods is not for the sake of wanting to be friends with them.”
That god of creation in front of me is not particularly trustworthy to me.
“It’s just that it’s more beneficial to me that way. I never thought of you as trustworthy.”
It was worth it.
In fact, if we look at the root cause of the war between the gods, aren’t they the beings called the three ancient gods?
The other side explained that the war of the gods was a struggle for supremacy in order to become the ruler of this universe
. I was guessing.
“You said you would be reborn as the ruler of the universe through the war of the gods, but that was only a superficial reason.”
The existence called the three ancient deities also included the god of creation, so there was no way she could be trusted.
“Even if the goal is to be reborn as the ruler of the universe after winning the war of the gods, it is questionable how common sense can achieve this.”
and.
“Aren’t there only stories that are full of doubts and hidden everywhere to trust each other?”
Not even that.
-God is only blinded by greed for faith. They don’t care about nobody in the world. If I can gain faith, I will do anything.
While learning the divine < Harmony >, I remembered every word and action of her, which I saw as residual thoughts.
I don’t know why, but the tone was full of distrust of the gods and the attitude was cynical.
It was too suspicious to be trusted.
“Even more so, once trust is broken, you have to pay the price accordingly.”
[ …. ]
At that, I looked at the god of creation and said expressionlessly.
“I have no intention of paying lightly for the one-sided betrayal of my trust.”
and.
“So…”
The next moment.
“Stop messing around like that anymore and make a formal promise, not a verbal contract.”
Before I knew it, I finished the first and last warning in an even colder tone after seeing the God of Creation silent.
“The god of transcendence and death reveals a clear intent to
kill. ” ]
It’s infinitely bloody.
***
At this point, did the other side notice it?
The god of creation stopped throwing crap about trust and companionship at me.
Somehow, it seems that they have realized that mutual trust cannot be established in practice.
「The god of creation is staring at you with frowning eyes.」
[ …There is one thing I have come to realize about you now. ]
Unlike before, she said with her eyes filled with coldness shining.
[I don’t know if my mind was polluted by the concept of divinity itself or if I was crazy in the first place, but I’m insane. ]
“?”
[If you’re an ancient deity, you’ll know that conceptual immortality makes no difference between winners and losers, but you’re probably the only one acting so arrogantly. ]
“….”
I think I think I think my mental pollution has become serious because I have been acting as if I would fight if I made a mistake from earlier until now….
“…well. From my point of view, the idea of robbing a talented person like an ancient deity by establishing an oral contract with words of trust or colleague-like words like that one seems more insane.”
It was absurd.
In fact, the god of creation didn’t show much favor to me from a while ago.
Rather, didn’t he continue to act annoying enough to make this side act as if they were going to fight at any time?
No way, I didn’t know that the other side would say such a thing, so I felt a slight absurdity, but that was only for a moment.
“I wish you would make a formal promise like I said in the time you were talking about that.”
[ …don’t worry. Even if it’s not, I think so. I’m getting ready without rushing too much. ]
As if she didn’t like me, I urged her, and the answer I wanted came back.
[To work with a being like you, I feel uneasy with a verbal contract. ]
Tsutsutsu -.
All of a sudden, the god of creation was using his right hand to gather the divine power of white light, and was unleashing his divine abilities.
“The divinity < Creation > is activated and creates something new in exchange for divinity, faith, and tales.”
Seeing this, I opened my eyes wide and once again felt that my guess was correct.
‘…It’s a divine supernatural ability that’s perfectly the same as the divine < Creation > that the Tower of Trials has.’
It is not a coincidence that the way in which creation is made at the cost of one’s own divinity, faith, and tales.
‘…Then the Tower of Trials is certain to be related in some way to the beings called the three ancient deities.’
Originally, the supernatural powers of the Tower of Trials must have dealt with high-level concepts of creation, law, and miracles, respectively.
‘And the same goes for that gray pillar.’
As it was, I looked once more at the gray pillars visible beyond the < model garden > of the divine realm.
“….”
What kind of cause and effect was that gray pillar that seemed to mimic the Tower of Trials?
There may be a key to answering the many questions raised while climbing the Tower of Trials.
That’s why, instead of acting suspiciously to the God of Creation, I decided to take a peek at the opportunity to slowly gain information.
If you hang around as close to the god of creation as possible and gather information about it, you will know what is the correct answer.
‘If I contribute to winning the war of the gods, I’ll find out what happened.’
It was time for me to look at the god of creation and organize my thoughts on the war of the gods.
───!
In the blink of an eye, the white divine light that flowed from the god of creation then transformed into a form close to an object.
“I can’t believe that…”
Seeing that, I parted my lips in interest and spat out the words.
“Is it a holy relic?”
It’s nothing else…
「A contract containing divinity」
「Rating: S-」
「A contract containing divinity created by the god of creation forged by his own divinity, power, and spirit.」
「Designate the other party by mutual agreement When a contract is established, the effect of compulsory contract fulfillment takes place.」 「
※ The effect of compulsory contract fulfillment is limited to contracts made under mutual agreement, regardless of the will of the parties.
」 It was no different from a high relic.
「The god of creation nods and replies.」
[That’s correct. ]
She continued talking by immediately using the holy relic, ‘Sacred Contract (S-)’, created with the Divine < Creation >.
“By the exclusive effect of the sacred contract (S-), the contract proceeds under mutual agreement with the designated target.
” ]
After seeing the system message indicating that the holy relic ‘Sacred Contract (S-)’ had been activated, I accepted it.
「…」
「Accepted.」
「Due to the exclusive effect of the Sacred Contract (S-), a contract has been concluded under mutual agreement with the designated target.」
Accordingly, the Holy Relic ‘Sacred Contract (S-) )’ at the moment when the activation ends.
Aww-!
As it was, the God of Creation said without hesitation, tearing up the Holy Artifact ‘Sacred Contract (S-)’.
[Now that we have finished the promise of compensation as you wished, we have to deal with the most urgent first. ]
It seems like now that the contract has been compulsorily fulfilled as the other side wants, they will not waste time and write it down.
[In the War of the Gods, you are now on the side of order, so you should be put on the front line as a deity belonging to the order camp right now. ]
And.
[ Western Front. A place where many of the top deities and devils presumed to be members of the Demon Gods gather. I want you to go there right away. ]
“The Western Front.”
[Is it possible? ]
“Of course not.”
To him, I sighed and then lightly replied.
“Even if you didn’t bother me that much, I would have gone to fight myself.”
Originally, the ancient deities, high-ranking deities, or formal deities in this war of gods must have the same power as real beings, not illusions.
“Even if you don’t, I still have work to do.”
If so, I can’t help but wonder.
“It will be fun.”
I wonder if even fakes that are infinitely close to the real thing can get a command with necromancy.
