Chapter 394

394. The 27th floor (5)

was the worst.

“….”

An ancient deity.

It refers to a person who has transformed into an existence equivalent to the conceptual divinity itself and engraved immortality in this universe.

Even if it is said to be the weakest of the ancient deities, its power will not be comparable to those of higher deities.

Knowing that, I drool.

‘Really…’

It was absurd.

It was all the more so because he was aware that this side was the closest to the weakest of the ancient deities.

In fact, the pantheon side was like asking me to solve a problem that was outside my scope.

‘It’s difficult.’

I had to put a smile on my face once in a while.

‘I’ve become strong enough to be able to stand against the Tower of Trials a bit, but that’s not a level of difficulty comparable to killing an ancient deity.’

Not even that.

Originally, an ancient deity would have been converted into a conceptual divinity and imprinted its concept and existence on the universe itself.

Even if I win with the difference of pure power, it doesn’t mean that I can completely get rid of the ancient deity itself.

In any case, the ancient deity does not die until the concept divinity itself is destroyed.

‘…however, I can’t say that it’s impossible at all. I am. It has a slight chance of penetrating the immortality of the ancient deity.’

Of course, there is no way at all.

In fact, even if the ancient deity became the concept divinity itself in this universe and achieved immortality, is it nothing without the concept divinity?

If so, there was a means to try.

But even so, I didn’t have a firm belief that I could slay an ancient deity with certainty, so I wasn’t too keen on it.

It is a gamble with a slim chance of success.

“Do you think it’s possible for me to get rid of the concept of divinity itself in an ancient deity?”

When I asked him that question, frowning, the god of darkness shook his head.

[Hey. Not really. I just saw the possibility that it might be. If you don’t like that, I can adjust the request of the Manshinden. ]

“….”

[Whoops. Isn’t the original goal of the pantheon only to steal the holy relic? Then that’s all you need to do. There is no need to rush. ]

“Is that so?”

I noticed.

The God of Darkness was trying to be considerate by coordinating the request of the pantheon as I wished.

If this side didn’t really want it, the ordeal on the 27th floor could be cleared by recapturing the sacred relics stolen by the pantheon instead of destroying the ancient deities.

‘Actually, it’s better than getting rid of the ancient divinity itself.’

But…

‘If you just want to clear the 27th floor ordeal, it would be the right thing to aim for recapturing the holy relics from the ancient deities.’

Why?

“…”

I didn’t like it that much.

Up until now, I was able to reach the level of an ancient deity after countless struggles while climbing the tower.

High risk high return.

Originally, the reason why this side was able to become so strong was because of the challenging spirit that did not avoid any struggle.

Only then did I realize what a sense of heterogeneity was brewing inside me.

‘The chances of winning are low?’

It was worth it.

‘dog sound.’

Up until now, I hadn’t shied away from fighting any formidable enemy.

What this side pursues is to reach beyond that ancient realm of divinity after building divinity.

In fact, building a stronghold that can overcome the Tower of Trials must be the very utopia I desire.

‘That’s not what I’m thinking about.’

If so, is there a fixed answer?

“There is no need for you to help me clear the 27th floor trials easily.”

It was simple.

It was high risk high return.

There was nothing that would break the determination of this side, which had been defended while climbing the Tower of Trials.

If he wanted to reach a lofty realm beyond the ancient deity, he had to go through trials worthy of it.

“The god of birth. Dyrmoa. I will accept the request from the Pantheon about the death of an ancient deity.”

Only then will you be able to reach the top of the ranks beyond those monstrous ancient deities.

***

The Dark God said with an unbearable smile on his lips as if he was interested in this side’s choice.

[Hey. Are you serious? god of birth. Although Dirmoa is only a child, he is an ancient deity. The level may not be right for you yet…]

“It doesn’t matter.”

[ …. ]

“Isn’t it fun?”

To that, I smiled twistedly at the dark god and replied with a joyful expression.

“I wonder what the reward will be after I annihilated the concept of divinity itself, an ancient deity.”

In fact, it was.

Before I knew it, I was thinking of the reward I would get after winning against the god of birth called the Ancient Godhead.

It was said that he only became an ancient deity about a hundred years ago, but despite this, it was clear that the god of birth had tremendous strength.

At least to the same level as this one.

“So I have no regrets about the choices I made.”

The dark god looked at me intently, then nodded and replied kindly.

[Yeah…. Hey. If it’s really your choice, it’s worth respecting enough. What a wonderful thing. ]

And…

[Then there is no need to postpone it any longer. ]

That was the moment.

[Trial correction complete.]

System messages appeared in front of my eyes, and I felt an unknown air current slowly enveloping my body.

?Enter the 27th floor of the Tower of Trials.?

?Difficulty – Hard?

?The subject of the ordeal is ‘Request’.?

?I hope that the challenger will have a satisfactory result at the end of their choice.?

That means one thing.

?The 27th floor ordeal begins.?

?Time remaining – 1 month?

?Order breakthrough condition – Completely kill ‘Dirmoa,’ the deity of birth in Scandia?

?Order failure condition – death of the challenger or the end of the remaining time ?

?Correction Breakthrough Reward – Numerous Sacred Catalogs (SSS+)? ?

Order

Failure Penalty – Death?

[ For the time being, the Tower of Trials will not be able to affect you, so it will be enough not to worry. ]

And.

[Whoops. I hope your choice will lead to no regrets, child. come and go ]

Soon after, the god of darkness gently waved his hand and said goodbye.

“Then I’ll see you later.”

In an instant, the world turned into darkness.

***

It literally changes the whole world.

At the very least, the world itself has completely changed, rather than the space itself slightly changing.

Noticing that, I raised my head and at the same time expanded my bodily senses to figure out what kind of space I was in.

“…”

It felt.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at a certain meadow by the god of darkness.

I could immediately figure out what kind of world this was without having to think about it.

‘Is it Scandia?’

Indeed, it matched almost perfectly with the world of Scandia that the God of Darkness had shown in advance.

‘It’s a little different, but it’s the same.’

Everywhere in the world was revealing freshness while embracing the vitality of Mother Nature.

There was no monster or monster-like enemy to fight here.

If I had to question it, should I say that it is similar to the Earth before the cataclysm?

‘By the way…’

But even so, there was definitely a sense of heterogeneity.

‘What is this again?’

Suddenly, I felt that the vitality felt across the land of Scandia had diminished to some extent.

For some reason, it was sensed that life force in various parts of the world of Scandia was gradually disappearing at regular intervals.

There was no need to spread this magic far and wide, and I felt that it was blatantly draining the life force from the world of Scandia itself.

‘It’s ridiculous.’

It feels like some sort of parasite has attached itself to the world of Scandia itself.

But, nevertheless, I did not think to go into more detail.

After all, if I did something conspicuous as soon as I came here, the existence of this side would only be found out by the deity of birth somewhere in Scandia.

It wasn’t very welcome.

‘I’ll have to do some more research first to find out something.’

but for a while.

?That was the worst….

Suddenly, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled, and Damcheonwu’s tired voice came into my ears.

-Huh. A god of darkness… To think that I would end up in front of such a monstrous ancient deity… I thought I would die trying not to offend that monster.

“It’s amazing how you react like that. Am I also an ancient deity? But why are you so frightened?”

?Huh… It’s stupid. The Dark God is a monster that has probably lived the longest among the ancient deities. For example, if I had offended that monster, it would have been destroyed without any help.

“….”

As if I was dumbfounded, I tapped the sword wave of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, and the answer came back immediately.

-noisy! In front of that kind of monster, it’s only natural for everyone to be scared, not just me! Anyway, I’ll be resting soon, so call me when there’s a battle!

Somehow, judging from Damcheonwu’s reaction, it seemed that he was psychologically shocked by the overwhelming divinity emitted by the god of darkness.

‘It doesn’t matter.’

But I wasn’t worried about that.

Although it is said that he became the blood demon sword’s ego anyway, isn’t Damcheonwu also a challenger who climbed the Tower of Trials to the upper level?

It will be fine with time without the need for this side to take care of it.

Then it was clear what to do.

‘Let’s explore so as not to be discovered by an ancient deity somewhere in Scandia.’

From this side’s point of view, first of all, it was necessary to know where the god of birth, one of the ancient deities, was.

At least you should know where the birth god is so you can fight.

In response, I prepared to continue my search while hiding my divinity and magical power as much as possible.

And…

the chiji-jik—!

It was then.

“under. Is that the attendant of the pantheon from the Tower of Trials? What a shallow power.”

The space not far from where he was standing was distorted, and a white-haired man adorned with gold emerged.

chuck.

“I am the seventh servant of the god of pride, Layen.”

I got a sense when I saw a gray-haired man dressed in gold, who roughly introduced himself as Raien.

“Originally, an insignificant apostle serving the god of darkness wanted to come here as an overseer, but the god of pride said he couldn’t trust you at all.”

Perhaps the pantheon side sent something like that as support so that we could kill the ancient deity… “I

came as an overseer on behalf of an apostle who served the god of darkness, so I thanked the god of pride for coming. will have to be raised.”

I wasn’t even that upset.

“A supervisor?”

Just…

“Ha! If so, did you think I would trust someone like you, who was raised by the Tower of Trials? You need to follow my instructions as an agent of the pantheon of gods—”

It just felt like a novel joke.

“—Anything like you?”

step.

“The god of transcendence and death expresses his intent to kill with a serious expression at the words of an unreasonable apostle.”

[Are you kidding? ]

The eyes on this side, unlike the corners of the mouth that smiled, were shining with a coolness.
