Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 473
473. Starting point (5)
The content provided by the Tower of Trials as a condition for clearing the 36th floor trial was not that difficult.
If we are to be honest, should we say that there is no need to worry about other factors besides ‘survival’?
In fact, if this side had not been actively involved in the war of gods, clearing the trial itself might have been very easy.
━The 36th floor trial begins.
━Remaining time – 1 year
━ Condition for passing the ordeal – Survive until the end of the War of the Gods
━Trial failure condition – death of challenger or end of remaining time
━Ordeal Breakthrough Reward – ■
━Trial failure penalty – death
It was worth it.
The condition of the Tower of Trials for clearing the 36th floor trial is to hold out until the War of the Gods ends.
At best, it was possible to satisfy the conditions for clearing the ordeal just by surviving the war of the gods without being noticed by anyone.
‘…It seemed like there was a secret hidden by the Tower of Trials, so I looked around and the story became complicated.’
It’s just that, regardless of the conditions for clearing the 36th floor ordeal set by the Tower of Trials, it was a stage set in a time before the tower existed, so I personally researched various things and ended up here.
‘If the Tower of Trials set the conditions for clearing the 36th floor trial purely as the moment the War of the Gods ends, then it wouldn’t be surprising if the trial ends at some point in the future.’
When and how will the war of the gods end?
To be honest, it’s not a topic I haven’t thought about at all.
Depending on when and how the conditions set by the Tower of Trials for clearing the 36th floor trial are fulfilled, the purpose for which it moves may also vary.
However, it didn’t seem like the War of the Gods would end in a very short period of time, and the Tower of Trials had set the deadline for clearing the 36th floor trials to one year, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.
‘There is no reason for the war of the gods to continue, and the power struggle between the order and chaos camps has reached its end.’
If I were to be specific, I think that in the original world history, the gods of creation, the god of law, and the god of miracles, as well as the ancient gods of the lawful camp, would have achieved what they wanted.
‘If we see that the Tower of Trials has still not made a clear decision on the 36th floor ordeal, will the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles have to clear the divine confrontation plane and end the war of the gods?’
That seemed to also apply to the conditions for clearing this 36th floor trial created by the Tower of Trials.
Two of the three ancient gods have died, and even though they are weaker than them, powerful beings such as the God of Time and the God of Light have also died.
It wouldn’t be strange if the Tower of Trials decided to clear the trials right now, but considering that they didn’t, shouldn’t the ‘divine confrontation system’ itself, which establishes the War of the Gods, disappear?
‘Well, either way, it’s not a bad thing for me that the Tower of Trials didn’t give a clear verdict for the 36th floor trial.’
Chak-.
As I was falling from the sky, I slowly slowed down and landed lightly on the ground, grinning.
‘I need to receive a success reward from the God of Creation for killing the God of Time, but I also have some work left to do personally.’
For some time to come, it seemed like we would talk with the Dragon God and learn about the universe before the Tower of Trials appeared until the War of the Gods declared a complete end.
‘Tower of Trials. This may be the last time we can directly investigate the time period before that transcendent structure appeared. ‘It would be better to continue collecting information.’
and….
‘I might have to give it a try to see if I can inherit power as the successor to the Dragon God.’
That’s not all.
Currently, I have won against the incarnation of the Dragon God and have also acquired the divine
Even if it were just one chance, if I could inherit her power as the successor of the Dragon God, I might be able to cause a phenomenon similar to a bug.
‘It would not be impossible for two dragon gods to exist simultaneously in the same universe, assuming that the scenario goes as planned.’
In essence, two identical beings cannot coexist in one universe.
However, in addition to the fact that the Dragon God is a ‘tribal god’, if you use the half-divine
I’ll have to stick with the Dragon God and find out a lot until the war between the gods is declared to be over, but if I’m lucky, there’s a good chance I’ll succeed at once.
“….”
But…
‘It’s ominous.’
Why?
‘Why on earth does everything turn out better than I expected?’
The thought that bad luck would naturally follow good luck passed through my mind.
After robbing the sacred
Moreover, just like when I killed the God of Time, it was done so easily and without any resistance, so I felt like I was feeling an uneasy feeling.
―…I can’t believe it.
But even for a moment.
―…Not only did he kill two of the three ancient gods, but he also killed powerful ancient gods like the God of Time and the God of Light so easily, as if they were small pieces of food.
Suddenly, Dam Cheon-woo’s consciousness within the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword began to fluctuate greatly, and he expressed a strange feeling of excitement.
-How on earth is this possible?
Well, actually, I just didn’t listen properly earlier, and I had to mutter something in a passionate tone when I was fighting the demon god…
―Perhaps, if I can continue to become stronger like this, it would not be impossible to become a transcendental person who even surpasses the hierarchy of ancient gods…
When the battle situation ended by killing the God of Time, Dam Cheon-woo continued to speak in a more active and excited voice than before.
-hot! If I win a few life-or-death battles against ancient gods in the future, I will definitely become a transcendent…!! Isn’t this something that will truly bring a wind of change to the entire universe?
At this point, I wonder if Dam Cheon-woo is more happy than this person who has the potential to become a transcendent.
“…In the end, we will only know when we can become a transcendental person, so don’t make a fuss already.”
In response, I held the blade of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword tightly and said that in a slightly pathetic tone.
“Moreover, because of the penalty imposed by the Tower of Trials on the 36th floor trials, there is no particular benefit to defeating ancient gods, so it will take more time to become a transcendent.”
-Well… I guess this is what I thought, considering that as well? The penalty imposed by the Tower of Trials on the 36th floor is to limit the reward that can be obtained by defeating the ‘Ancient Godhead’ to one. As a reward for clearing the ordeal, you can obtain the spirit of one of the ancient gods.
“….”
―Whether it is a God of Darkness or a Demon God, if one of the two absorbs their ghost and also activates the myth
“It’s not wrong, but it’s not certain.”
―Pfft. Not sure? That’s stupid.
Dam Cheon-woo continued to show his excitement, probably because he was intoxicated by the thought that there were only a few days left for him to be reborn as a transcendental person.
-Necromancy. Divinity
It seems as if there is no doubt that this person will become a transcendental person and become a god close to omniscience and omnipotence that has never existed in the history of the universe.
―Transcendant or ascendant. You will soon be able to reach the ultimate ideal that the gods across the universe so passionately desire.
It was not difficult to see why Dam Cheon-woo was showing such excitement.
―It feels like an honor to be able to join you on your journey to becoming a transcendent.
Wasn’t Dam Cheon-woo, who originally resided in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, also a challenger from the martial arts dimension who climbed the Tower of Trials to the upper levels?
‘It’s not like I can’t understand.’
Those who have climbed the Tower of Trials to the upper levels and have the opportunity to become administrators either have grand aspirations that force them to rely on miracles, or they are purely addicted to becoming stronger and their brakes are broken.
‘Any challenger who sought to become stronger by climbing the Tower of Trials must have had an illusion of the hierarchy of transcendents.’
That’s probably why Dam Cheon-woo is also so excited about the fact that this person has become a transcendental person and is being reborn as the strongest being in the entire universe.
‘I sympathize.’
It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand Dam Cheon-woo’s feelings because I also wanted to climb the Tower of Trials to the end, considering the meaning of becoming stronger in itself.
‘Are you feeling a bit of vicarious satisfaction through me?’
Or perhaps she feels how special the moment of becoming a transcendent is because she climbed the Tower of Trials with us on this journey.
“….”
Either way, I don’t feel too bad because it means that Dam Cheon-woo also strongly hopes for me to become a transcendent.
Tsutsutsu-.
step….
[….]
That too was only for a moment.
[Time ends.]
[The Unshakable Faith (EX) exclusive effect ‘Proof of Faith’ is deactivated due to the expiration of the activation time.]
[The divinity
When I saw the system message that appeared before my eyes, I smiled bitterly as I felt that the sacred
‘It’s over.’
The sacred
‘Well, now that I don’t have to fight with anyone anymore, it doesn’t matter what happens.’
It was a little disappointing.
When I became the ‘Devil of Transcendence and Death’ by using the divine
However, apart from that, as the sacred
━I was satisfied.
The demon god faced death with a somewhat relieved expression on his face.
━So….
The extinct Demon God seemed more satisfied than ever, feeling satisfied with his once-in-a-lifetime struggle.
━It is farewell.
and.
━Granted family registration.
Is that why?
“…I guess I could take a souvenir.”
At that, I chuckled and forcibly extracted a part of the sacred
Kuhuung-!
The fragment of the sacred
‘If I bring it to the dark gods and demons in the real world, not the world of trials created by the Tower of Trials, I can return some favor.’
At best, all this side can do is convey memories and emotions through fragments of the sacred
‘Whether it is a god of darkness or a demon god, they are both like benefactors to me.’
But still, it occurred to me that the two ancient gods would somehow be satisfied with just such a simple task.
Tsutsutsu.
The sacred
[….]
[Conditions met.]
[The sacred
[The divine
The name of this god also changed from ‘Demon God of Transcendence and Death’ to ‘God of Transcendence and Death’.
The divine
Now that the sacred
‘This is it for now.’
I think it would be enough to convey some of the memories and emotions contained in the divine supernormal ability to the gods and demons of darkness outside the Tower of Trials in the future.
“Let’s go back slowly.”
Jump and jump -.
The appreciation ended briefly.
As I saw that the unfinished sacred realm created by the God of Time had completely collapsed, I took a step forward.
First of all, aren’t all those who noticed the ‘truth’ in the war of gods, including the God of Time, and planned to go beyond the Tower of Trials dead?
‘Let’s meet the Dragon God first.’
First of all, there was a need to have some conversation with the Dragon God.
This is because, if possible, I want to inherit the power of the Dragon God through the divinity
Since this was something that had to be done before the Tower of Trials declared clear the 36th floor trial, it was better not to waste time.
‘Well, I doubt that the Dragon God will immediately hand over his power as I want… but it might be a good idea to give it a try.’
and….
Tuk.
How long did we walk across the devastated land like that?
Suddenly, I realized that I had returned to the place where I had left the Dragon God earlier, and I looked around.
Originally, this side of her would have used all of her protective system abilities to protect her so that no harm would come to her.
In that case, no matter where I looked, I couldn’t see the Dragon God, and the protection system ability had naturally ended its activation.
‘Where did it go?’
She was looking around with her head, wondering if perhaps the Dragon God had woken up on her own and headed somewhere…
Hold-.
[Yep. ]
“….”
That didn’t seem to be the case.
Suddenly, while I was looking around my head to find the Dragon God, a thin finger pressed my cheek.
I could have avoided it because I realized in time that someone was sneaking up on me with my sixth sense, but I didn’t do it anyway.
‘…I didn’t go somewhere, I was hiding here.’
It was natural.
[The Dragon God giggles, proud that he played a little prank on you.]
[Hmph. You got hit, right? Even though the battle for successor is over, aren’t we being too careless? ]
…That’s because the owner of the thin fingers right next to where I was standing was none other than the Dragon God.
Cluck cluck-.
She responded calmly as the dragon god seemed to be elated and pressed his cheek with his finger, as if he thought the surprise attack had been successful.
“Dragon God.”
[ huh? ]
“You don’t seem to have much of a knack for pranks, so I hope you’ll refrain from doing things like this in the future.”
[ …uh? Really? Am I not good at pranks? That can’t be possible─. ]
“no. The Dragon God is not good at pranks. “Give up.”
[….]
Yongshin had a stern expression, perhaps a little shocked by what this person said, but then looked sullen, as if he was hurt.
Eat.
When I saw that, I didn’t really want to see the Dragon God drooping down, so I laughed and said it as if it was a lie.
“It’s a joke.”
[ ? ]
“To tell the truth, I was a little surprised by the prank the Dragon God played.”
[Hehehe. yes? I thought so too. I can’t help but be surprised by how good my stealth skills are. Even the later successor is very good at pretending not to be surprised, isn’t he? ]
“…I will gratefully accept any praise.”
To tell the truth, I wasn’t surprised at all, but I nodded, feeling like I was telling a white lie.
So, after a brief conversation between Yongshin and I, there was a heavy silence between us for a moment.
obviously.
[ …God of time. The energy of the ancient gods who sympathized with the future prophet can no longer be felt anywhere. ]
The Dragon God spoke with a somewhat bitter look on his face.
[I don’t think it’s strange even if small things like the God of Time and the God of Light are dead. However, it is strange that even the presence of the God of Darkness and the suddenly felt presence of the Demon God disappeared. ]
“….”
[ Well… don’t misunderstand. I’m just asking because I’m curious. Is there a successor? ]
“you’re right.”
I answered him directly, without any fuss.
“God of time. In addition, there are even beings like the God of Darkness and the God of Light. “It’s true that I killed him.”
[….]
“I am the god of transcendence and death. Even if you become an ancient god and achieve conceptual immortality, that doesn’t mean you can’t kill. “Like now.”
[ I see…. ]
The dragon god nodded his head with a bitter smile and continued speaking.
[It feels a little lonely. I don’t know about the God of Time, but I often talk and play with the God of Darkness and the God of Light. I got along well with those three in many ways. now…. ]
She interrupted her story once, shook her head slightly, and showed a forced smile.
[ Oh, of course, I don’t mean to blame the successor or anything like that. It’s just because it reminds me of old times. Well, whether it was a god of darkness, a demon god, or a god of light, they only hung out together for a short time. Since they were truly hostile to you and me, I wouldn’t be particularly sad if they all died. ]
“Is that so.”
[ huh. ]
“….”
For some reason, it seemed to me that the Dragon God was feeling quite lonely.
In any case, immortals like ancient gods must have had some kind of bond with each other.
However, Yongshin also seemed to have expected this to happen to some extent and did not express anything further except for a bit of loneliness.
I stood there with my mouth closed for a moment, then parted my lips and spoke.
“Then how about joining me from now on?”
[ …uh? ]
“The Dragon God wanted to make me his successor. I accepted that. “Then why don’t you just hang out with me from now on?”
[….]
Since it was time to get to the point with Yongshin, I suggested it without hesitation.
“So-.”It’s no different….”
As the successor to the Dragon God, I have an intention to inherit the divine
“in other words.”
“I mean it.”
…I was thinking of using a shortcut that would allow two dragon gods to exist in one universe.
***
The Dragon God’s eyes widened and her face turned red.
She [Yongshin asks back, doubting whether he heard correctly.]
[Is this really true? Are you willing to inherit the sacred
The dragon god probably didn’t know that this person would accept it so easily, so much so that he even muttered the same words several times while being extremely excited.
“It’s real.”
But even for a moment.
[ …is that really true? ]
When the dragon god confirmed once again that this was not a joke, she smiled brightly and her eyes sparkled.
[She stamps her feet with a smile on her face, as if she can’t believe the Dragon God.]
[ Does this mean that you will accept it even though you know what it means to become the successor to the Dragon God? ]
I even went so far as to say this out of fear that this person might not know what it meant to become the successor of the Dragon God and to inherit the divine
“I know.”
Of course, she cannot be unaware of the risks involved in becoming the Dragon God’s successor.
“Isn’t there a high possibility that divinity, the concept that inherits the divinity
[ …Yes, that’s right. Inheriting the divinity
“…Well, I have no intention of abandoning divinity, the concept that is the basis of my divinity. “There is not an ounce of falsehood in the statement that I will inherit the divine
[…Hehe. okay-? Is that so? Then, you can inherit the divine
“it’s possible.”
To that, I answered with satisfaction, as if I had hoped for something.
“On the contrary, from my perspective, I want to quickly succeed to the divine
Perhaps the Dragon God said this to confirm this side’s will to inherit the sacred
“Only then will we be able to find out whether two beings with the divine
The Dragon God tilted his head and spoke as if he did not understand.
[In one universe, two beings with the divine
It seemed like he didn’t believe that what he said would actually come true.
[ At the point when I transfer the sacred
“I know that too. However, I have a shortcut that might allow me to ignore it. “I just want to try an experiment.”
[ …Uhm. I don’t really think that will be successful. Well, if the successor is determined to inherit the sacred
“Then there is no reason to take any more time.”
Just like that, I stretched out my hand, strongly raising the divinity
“I will inherit the sacred
The dragon god stared at the outstretched hand for a few seconds, then took a deep breath and held the hand together as if he couldn’t do it.
[ …Whew. okay. Then let me begin. Even if you want to quit midway, it’s no use, so just know that. ]
Wow-.
and.
───!
In an instant, a cloud of pure white divine light burst from the Dragon God’s body and poured down on me like a waterfall.
In response, I concentrated my mind to its limit and captured the flow of divinity coming from the outside to the inside.
In the sacred
‘…It’s probably a gamble from here on out.’
Accordingly, I stabilized the flow of the sacred
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo.
The sacred
‘Shall we begin?’
and.
[Divinity
[He can control the death of everything that has been eroded by sacred
[Divine
[It becomes parasitic on objects that come into contact with divinity, absorbs their life force, takes control, and manipulates them…]
[Divine
[Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s next attack is imbued with the power to consume divinity…]
In the blink of an eye, the sacred
Kwasasak───!
A situation where the frame that defines the concept of divinity
‘possible.’
In other words, it means that not only the memory and emotional self inherent in the divinity
‘For a first time, it’s going so smoothly.’
If the divine
Kuuuk-.
It annihilates and disintegrates through divine
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Accordingly, if the power itself, which is the basis of the divine
[….]
[Unlock conditions met.]
[The unique skill ‘Primordial Dragon’ has been completely unlocked.]
like now.
[….]
[Conditions met.]
[Through the divinity
[Through the divinity
───!
In an instant, the definition of the concept of the divine
Suddenly, as if he realized that the divinity
At the same time, the divinity of the dragon god,
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
That means only one thing.
Blah blah blah blah-!
[The Dragon God is astonished at the absurd thing that happened in a split second.]
[What is this? Why did this happen when the divine
It was simple.
[The Dragon God of Transcendence and Death laughs, feeling satisfied that the expedient plan he had planned in advance worked.]
[Is this working? ]
…Suddenly, we succeeded in realizing the miraculous event of two dragon gods existing in one universe.
***
In fact, it wasn’t unfamiliar.
I felt similar to the enemy who used the relic ‘Unwavering Faith (EX)’ to steal the divine
The only difference is that the divine abilities that this side can wield have changed from the divine
[The Dragon God expresses surprise at the great change in your power.]
[ …Nonsense. Two truly divine
However, the Dragon God seemed to think it was more than a miracle, and his voice was full of embarrassment.
Tdu-duk-.
But this wasn’t the case.
‘As expected, it worked out just as I expected.’
An expedient method of changing the definition of the concept of the divinity
‘For a first time ad-libbing, I was quite good at it.’
At that, I smiled and looked towards the Dragon God.
“Didn’t I tell you?”
and.
“I have a shortcut that can make the two divine
When the dragon god saw this smiling face, he covered his expression with both hands as if he was embarrassed, then opened his palms again and revealed his face.
[ …I didn’t know it would really be successful. I was just thinking realistically. Ugh. ]
It was a bit funny.
“Well, I wasn’t really sure that I would succeed. “I thought the odds of success were half the odds of failure.”
[ …Really? It seems like a lie. You’re not just saying this to comfort me, are you? Actually, I knew it would happen like this, but I acted like a fool. ]
“That can’t be possible.”
[ …then I’m glad. ]
I said that casually, tapped the dragon god on the shoulder, and then walked out behind him.
Sabak Sabak-.
“I don’t know when the war of gods will end. “It cannot be denied that the time we can spend together has increased in the future.”
He will probably wander around the planet with the Dragon God and obtain various information until the war between the gods is declared completely over.
“The Dragon God will have many things to teach me, his successor, as his successor.”
I thought that if I walked around with her, I might find out why she was so obsessed with me.
“I have somewhere to go first, so I think it would be better to meet again later.”
If you are lucky, you will be able to find out what prompted the Tower of Ordeals to appear in the time period before the Tower of Ordeals appeared.
“God of time. I decided to get paid to kill him. So, first of all, I understand that you are happy, but you need to stay away from me for a while…”
Puhwaak-.
The sound of a rupture breaking through skin.
Patter.
The sound of blood dripping.
[ ─Hehehe. Were you planning on coming to get paid for killing the God of Time? You must have had a hard time fighting those monstrous ancient gods. He’s also diligent. ]
Suddenly I heard a strange noise behind me and stopped.
[But there’s no need for that, right? I came here myself so that they wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of going to the orderly camp. You can feel grateful. ]
At that moment, I felt a familiar divine voice echoing somewhere and immediately turned around with a stern expression.
[ -ah! is not it? In fact, maybe I should be thankful, not him. You opened the treasure chests of the three ancient gods for me. Hehehe. ]
There, behind the Dragon God, there was a woman wearing brown robes standing calmly with a sharp hand piercing her heart.
Sigh-!
It’s no different-.
[The God of Creation is happy that you have benefited from your fisherman’s fortune and sends you greetings for a reunion.]
[ hi? God of transcendence and death. No, should I now call him the Dragon God of Transcendence and Death? Anyway, thank you. ]
The God of Creation took advantage of her weakened Dragon God and pierced her heart, laughing in joy.
[Thanks to your dedication, we have succeeded in gaining more than we could have imagined from the cumbersome battlefield called the War of the Gods. ]
dump-.
The dragon god’s body fell limply to the devastated ground.
[So, let me tell you. ]
At this point, you have no choice but to instinctively know.
[The God of Creation bursts into flames, blessing the starting point of a new world.]
[ –What kind of changes will the starting point of this new world bring to the entire universe in the future? ]
It was a betrayal.
