[This nonsense… nonsense…]
The usurper looked down at the sword that pierced his heart and muttered with his eyes wide open.
[Forcibly destroying the divinity…]
Didn’t I know that I would die instantly with this blow?
It probably refers to the divine power < Death > or the special power ‘Sasinan’…
I wasn’t too surprised.
Divinity < Death > gives death to everything, and the power within the Shinigami created accordingly is the power to create a weakness that leads to death.
It was as if the defeat of the usurper had already been predestined at the time of this encounter.
‘It’s strange to survive even after being hit with this authentically.’
So, the tower also printed out the ordeal clear message.
Because there is no way for the usurper to survive anymore.
However, as if he thought he could still survive, the usurper began to wriggle his hands and feet.
[It can’t end like this… It can’t end… A little more power…]
And at the same time, his eyes lit up with boundless greed.
A person who has plundered the power of countless people and gathered enough status to become a god of one dimension.
To think that I am seeing the end of such an existence is a new feeling…
but I didn’t want to see it for too long.
‘It doesn’t feel good.’
It was worth it.
After all, the usurper is somewhat similar to me.
The desire to become stronger and coveting the power of others without knowing the end were similar.
But it was only natural that he couldn’t be in a good mood seeing the end.
[Now it’s really over. ]
At that, I immediately activated the divine power while frowning.
?I use the divine < death >.?
After that, the usurper’s body stopped moving.
Just like that, the usurper’s body turned to ashes and disappeared in an instant.
Climbing the tower, I didn’t even have time to enjoy the fact that I had won against a godhead for the first time, and a new message came to my mind.
?Challenger Seongyoon Han is 7.4% closer to ascension by winning against Divinity.??As a
special reward for < Ascension of Divinity >, you will obtain the exclusive effect, “Increase in Divinity Recovery Speed (B+).? ?From
now on, Sungyoon Han’s Divinity Power recovers faster than before.”
< Divinity Ascension > was activated by the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >.
That also resulted in a 7.4% rise in Ascension.
Even as a special reward, ‘divine recovery speed increase (B+)’ was obtained, and the consumed divine power began to fill up quickly.
Certainly, unlike before, I could feel a tremendous amount of power dwelling in my body.
Enjoying that pleasant growth, I smiled a little.
[ …. ]
Now, with the level of divinity rising, I felt like I could do something fun with my divine power.
In response, I immediately activated the divine power.
?The authority ‘sacred power’ is activated.?
Originally, it was not possible to use very useful power only with the divine power authority.
At most, it was only to protect the body from the power of the divine authority.
If there were any other uses, it would be to cover the skin with divinity and emit light.
But now it’s different.
?Time ends.?
?The divine power, ‘Apotheosis’, is deactivated and cannot be reused for 8 hours.?
Even without using Apotheosis, I was able to use divine power in a new way.
Just like this.
Blasphemy!
In the blink of an eye, the divine power that flowed outside turned into ice.
Even with divinity.
The ice created by the divine power freely changed its shape and took on various forms.
Soon, I consumed the divine power next to the divine ice and created a flame close to the polarity.
Fire!
And the flame was also divine, and it was possible to change the form as much as you like.
I’m guessing that this divine power can be converted into something like magical power instead of fire or ice.
That wasn’t all.
Perhaps this divine power could even materialize things like skills or powers.
Of course, I’ve never tried it myself, so I can’t say for sure.
‘Still, it’s a good change.’
Then I heard a familiar voice in my ears.
-her. Is it possible to freely change the divine power now? To obtain this much power on the 18th floor…
Damn Cheonwoo.
?Divinity substitution is a skill that even inexperienced deities cannot handle properly…
He muttered something dumbfounded and then laughed.
?The growth rate alone is a monster.
“I got the godhead, but shouldn’t I grow to this extent? Otherwise, it would have been unfair.”
?…That’s true, too. Still, this level of growth is unusual. It will be a record that won’t be in the top twice.
“Then it would be nice if you gave me more achievements.”
At those words, I licked my lips.
It didn’t matter what he said because it was a record that would be second to none in the tower.
Because what really matters is the real gain.
I wish I could get more achievements to raise my stats or acquire skills… I
didn’t come up with an achievement achievement message, as if such minor growth didn’t give me any achievements.
But the regret was only momentary.
‘…Come to think of it, won’t I be able to use that authority now if I clear the trials on the 18th floor?’
Suddenly, he remembered the exclusive authority he had received from the God of Proof in the Giant Tree Labyrinth, and immediately activated that authority.
?Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward (1/2)] is activated.?
Increase reward.
The effect of the exclusive authority to increase the level of compensation obtained through the trials of the tower was intuitive.
?The reward level is increased by exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward (1/2)]?
?18th floor breakthrough reward ‘Ustor’s Leather Gloves (SS-)’ becomes ‘Usurper’s Leather Gloves (SS+)’ ‘.’
?As an additional breakthrough reward on the 18th floor, the skill ‘Shock Reversal (B+)’ is enhanced to ‘Shock Block (A-)’.
? -)’ will be enhanced with ‘Ragnat’s No.17 Limited Edition Combat Cyberware (A+)’.?
All of the skills and items received as a reward for the 18th floor trial have been strengthened.
When I acquired the authority to increase the reward, the explanation I saw was that it was only about adding [+] to the reward grade… but it
was several times better than that.
The breakthrough reward level is the same as having been raised twice, and the additional breakthrough reward has completely changed the name of the skill and item.
“It’s amazing.”
The reward increase wasn’t a fully dedicated privilege.
The authority to increase the reward received from the god of proof is only half of the original authority.
However, this level of performance…
I was looking forward to what would happen if I got the right to increase the reward with the original appearance.
I thought to him with a deep smile.
‘I need to make a quick stop at the common area on the 21st floor.’
Let’s quickly get the authority to increase the rest of the rewards from the god of proof.
Of course, there is a condition that you have to go to the waiting room on the 21st floor
.
The only thing I’m worried about is that the god of despair, fall, and madness might be up for grabs again.
‘No matter how ancient Godhead is, he won’t be able to do tricks right away.’
The god of despair, fall, and madness must have consumed a lot of divinity because of this.
After all, I gave the usurper a lot of information.
That’s why you can’t forcefully intervene like this again on the next floor.
Even on this 18th floor stage, if the usurper had not waited for the apotheosis, even that intervention would have been meaningless.
The next ordeal didn’t seem to be that different either.
‘We have to climb the tower quickly before outside intervention occurs.’
I made up my mind and soon absorbed the usurper’s command.
?Absorbed the command of ‘Eold Balkan,’ the god of usurpation.?
?Skill increased by 27%.?
And at the same time, Necromancy proficiency increased tremendously.
Accordingly, the message of raising the level of necromancy came to mind.
Indeed, it is the growth of a unique characteristic that has been experienced for a long time, so expectations are rising.
?The mastery of the unique property ‘Necromancy’ has reached 100%.? ?The grade of
the unique property ‘Necromancy’ has gone up by one level#^&*!…?
It didn’t happen.
Instead, the sentence of the system message was broken as it was, and before long, new messages came to mind.
?…?
?Since the conditions are not satisfied, the level of the unique attribute ‘Necromancy’ does not increase.? ?
Until the growth condition is satisfied, the mastery of the unique attribute ‘Necromancy’ is fixed at 99.99%. ?
“What is this again…”
Didn’t meet the conditions?
I couldn’t understand.
So far, I have watched the growth of necromancy several times, but the system message is broken and the growth is not blocked.
There was never even a separate condition for growth.
I frowned at him, but aside from that, power extraction began soon after.
?Absorbs a spirit stronger than the user, and the power extraction judgment begins.?
Looking at the power extraction message that seemed to block my view, I continued my thoughts.
‘…Could it be that the S grade of Necromancy has a separate growth condition?’
The guess itself didn’t seem wrong.
Unlike normal unique characteristics, necromancy can also get divinity for free when it reaches A rank.
Probably, the benefits to be gained when Necromancy achieves an S rank are enormous.
So it’s not that the new effect is so fraudulent that it wouldn’t make sense if growth conditions were added.
However, the problem is what are the conditions for the newly created grade increase.
‘It’s not just about raising the level of proficiency, it’s a condition that needs to be addressed separately.’
It’s not even that I don’t get it at all.
Necromancy is the power to deal with death.
Looking at the Divine Authority < Death > and < Immortality >, necromancy was closely related to death-related abilities.
Therefore, perhaps this grade-up condition is also related to death.
?Judgment successful.?
?It has been confirmed that authority exists in the spirit of ‘Eold Barkan,’ the god of usurpation.?
?Extracts power from the spirit.?
?Special authority ‘Create Divine Realm (C+)’ is applied to the user. It will be imprinted on Han Seong-yoon’s soul.”
Of course, it’s just speculation, so I can’t be sure…
But I couldn’t dismiss it as meaningless.
Necromancy is the source of my growth, so I had to satisfy the conditions for increasing my grade.
That way it will grow faster.
Having concluded that, I immediately used the usurper’s command.
?Absorbs the spirit of ‘Eold Balkan’, the god of usurpation, and permanently increases stats.?
?Muscle strength increased by 12.? ?Agility increased
by 9.? ?Stamina increased by 11.?
?Magic power increased by 12.
It has increased by 19.?
?Durability has increased by 9.?
Then.
?You have absorbed the spirit of ‘Eold Balkan’, the god of usurpation, and have satisfied the special conditions.? ?
You can acquire one of the divinities possessed by the spirit of ‘Eold Balkan’, the god of usurpation.?
?Current acquisition The potential divinities that can be used are < Seize > < Destroy > < Rules > < Activation >.? ?
? The potential divinity that was not selected at this time will not appear as an option later.?
The time to acquire a new divinity has come.
