Boundless Necromancer

Chapter 457

457. Catastrophe (4)

I got goosebumps.

‘…How on earth did this happen?’

drank.

One of the three ancient gods, the lord of the universe, and the master of all demons.

Knowing that this was the identity of the strong man who boasted an overwhelming presence behind my back, I couldn’t help but have many thoughts.

‘…Could it be possible that they descended from the Eastern Front to the Southern Front in such a short period of time, in less than a few seconds?’

It was creepy.

Originally, the three ancient deities that we see here all reign as the rulers of the universe and have power that is not only strong enough to be revered as rulers, but also overflowing.

Moreover, among the three ancient deities, the first to fight was not a dark god or a dragon god, but a demon god, so it felt like a sense of crisis was felt directly on my skin.

?It seemed like something really interesting was happening down there, so I came here to take a look just in case…

First of all, there was no need to guess why the Demon God came down from the Eastern Front to the Southern Front because he said it himself.

‘I guess he came down here after feeling the aftermath of the battle between me and the God of Light, along with the God of Darkness and the God of Dragon.’

And it was obvious what he wanted.

?I can’t believe that everyone was out here having fun with such an interesting being, except for me.

Isn’t that right?

?I’m sorry.

Of the three ancient gods I had seen so far while climbing the Tower of Trials, the one who revealed his true intentions the most was not the God of Darkness or the Dragon God, but the Demon God.

?I also longed deep in my heart to fight a rival like you.

…The author was hoping to fight fiercely by pointing at me, not anyone else.

‘shit….’

It was a variable I could not have imagined.

no.

Perhaps, since the God of Darkness and the God of Dragons had appeared, they did not want to anticipate that the Demon God would also intervene here.

obviously.

‘The demon god wants to fight me….’

If the Demon God fought on the side of the God of Time rather than on this side, it was obvious that only despair, not hope, would overflow.

‘Even if I don’t stick to the other side because I’m conscious of the God of Time, I understand that it’s the same situation.’

And now that the hopeless scenario of two of the three ancient gods fighting on the side of the God of Time has become a reality, it has become clear that the balance of power between the two sides can no longer be maintained.

‘Then let’s finish at least one thing and then start.’

In response, I swung the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword with the divine <Death> as the center, activating numerous divine supernormal abilities and various powers.

??????!

Faster than light.

The overlapping activation of divine <fighting spirit> adds divine power to a bizarre level of physical power that surpasses even the laws of physics.

This is not the same as adding new power to the existing power, but rather squaring the existing power.

“The exclusive effect ‘Double’ of the power skill ‘Holy Source Demon Sword’ is activated.”

“Consume divine power to increase the power skill power by [6] times.”

?….?

As if that wasn’t enough, the Soul Demon Sword was activated.

A situation in which this side’s countless powers were drawn to their limit and captured in a single strike at the speed of light just to kill one god of light.

Even if the God of Light had achieved a hierarchy of divinity corresponding to the lower level of the three ancient gods, there was no chance of him surviving even after being hit by this.

‘If the Demon God wants to fight with me regardless of the God of Time, there will be no reason to help the God of Light, so I won’t be bothered.’

And, even if he were a demon god, one of the three ancient gods, there was no way he could easily block a sword strike at the speed of light.

‘Even if the Demon God blocks it, there’s no way he can take it without taking any damage.’

In other words, whether the God of Light dies or the Demon God directly steps in to stop it, it is bound to benefit in some way.

‘I can do it….’

But…

Knock-.

‘uh?’

A strange thing happened.

In a world where time seems to have stopped and is colored gray, and which has become infinitely slower due to the use of faster-than-light movement, a being moves.

Before I knew it, a male demon wearing a black half-mask with a pair of horns protruding from its forehead was blocking my path, engulfed in overwhelming demonic energy.

‘What is this…?’

I widened my eyes and expressed my astonishment, but there was no time to answer the questions rising deep within my heart.

‘How can a demon god show the same movements as me?’

This is because in an instant, the demon god demonstrated movement at the speed of light and blocked a deadly blow that had the power to destroy even a planet with his bare hands.

Oh my gosh!

In the blink of an eye, attacks and defenses were exchanged in a world at the speed of light, and the aftermath reverberated for a long time.

Chijijijijijijik-!

Drink, and me.

“….”

At the end of the momentary struggle of power that took place in a world at the speed of light, it was I, not the other side, who was pushed out.

‘Are you lying…?’

Horribly.

***

The demon god standing in front of me was dripping blood, probably because the grip on his right hand was torn.

“….”

Contrary to how he confidently stepped forward, the Demon God did not have a complete advantage in attack and defense against me.

However, despite this, no matter where you look, the Demon God did not receive any damage that would be considered fatal.

The only damage this party did to the demon god was to tear off the skin on his right hand, and even if it was empty words, it could not be said that it posed a meaningful threat to the demon god’s life.

“What the hell is this….”

When I saw that, I sobbed as I endured the pain that felt like my grip would be torn apart.

If the divine <Fighting Spirit> was activated and the physical strength was also greatly increased, the demon god did not seem to have had much difficulty blocking it.

At best, the demon god showed his great desire to win in the world of super-light speed and smiled bitterly as if he felt a little burdened.

‘Could it be that I was defeated by the Demon God in terms of physical ability and nothing else?’

When this person looked at the Demon God with their mouths stiffened, the other side responded as if they were willing to respond.

“The demon is looking at you and smiling.”

[ …hmm. I’m sorry about this. In the past, I was indebted to the God of Light in some way. I couldn’t let him die. ]

If we were to be specific, it wasn’t that he had blocked the ultra-light-speed sword attack that this side showed, but rather he was more concerned about keeping the God of Light alive at will and was offering an apology.

[Well, it would be more enjoyable for you to fight with me than to fight with a being like the God of Light, so I hope you don’t think of it as a bad thing. ]

Unlike the Demon God when I first saw him, he has a strangely calm appearance, but his unique cheerfulness cannot be hidden.

[ Tsk tsk…!! This turned out to be very fun! I came here just in case, and it turned out to be a good thing. This is my first time seeing a strange hybrid like you… It’s nothing short of amazing. ]

The Demon God continued speaking with an excited laugh.

[Ancient Godhead. Among them, it is amazing that we have achieved a hierarchy of gods of darkness, dragon gods, and divinity close to me, rather than just ordinary people, but there is more to it than just that. It’s like I have something that doesn’t exist in this universe. ]

Quite an insight.

‘…Did you notice the power that comes from the system, not just divinity or mana?’

Just by looking at this for a moment, it seems that he even noticed the existence of unique characteristics, skills, or special abilities based on the system.

[ ha ha ha-! Interesting! Maybe it would be even more fun than fighting a dark god or a dragon god! I never thought I could face a powerful enemy like you in an annoying and trivial war game like the War of the Gods! What kind of luck is this! ]

The demon god didn’t seem to be able to communicate anymore.

It’s just that he is full of thoughts of fighting me and is radiating excitement and anticipation like a madman.

At this point, even if I tried to persuade the demon god who seemed no different from a madman, I didn’t think it would really work.

‘…No, since you never know, it might be right to try persuasion.’

In response, I barely opened my lips and spoke, leaning on hope.

“…Demon God.”

Still, wasn’t the Demon God I saw while climbing the Tower of Trials a real madman whose story itself made no sense at all?

“…I don’t know why someone like you is looking forward to a fight with someone like me, but can’t you delay it a little longer?”

From the beginning, I wanted to tell the demon god that our power wasn’t that great, so fighting wouldn’t be very satisfying, but it didn’t seem possible.

‘You must have seen him shatter the God of Light with just two hits while activating the Holy <Fighting Spirit> in a stack, so there’s no way they would just accept it if you pretended to be weak like that.’

If so, wouldn’t it be a statement that has the potential to be persuasive?

“God of time. That ancient god is trying some kind of trick to kill me. If you help me kill him, then I will fight the demon god…”

The demon god standing in front of me would also like to have a fair fight with me, so I promise to fight him later if I help him kill the god of time.

“The Demon God answers while looking at you blankly.”

[ hate. ]

step….

[Why should I do that? ]

Contrary to his thoughts, the demon god answered calmly in a cold voice.

[God of time. It seems like that annoying guy came up with some kind of plan to catch and kill you… That’s just your situation, not mine. It has nothing to do with me. I don’t think it’s a very attractive offer. ]

It was reasonable.

There is not a single scratch.

To be honest, if what the Demon God wants is a fight with me, he can make it happen as he pleases, whether he wants it or not.

However, as if that was not all, the Demon God continued speaking with a cold smile beneath his black half-mask.

[What’s more, I don’t like your suggestion even more because it’s so obvious that it’s a lie. ]

It’s no different….

[God of time. Would it make any difference if I helped kill that weakling? Anyway, all of this is just the implementation of a record created by someone. If it’s a dream that you don’t know when it will end, shouldn’t you enjoy the sweetness? ]

He discovered the truth hidden in the war of the gods.

“The Demon God looks at you and smiles bitterly.”

[ …even if it’s just a false story made up for someone else. ]

…The Demon God realized on his own, without anyone’s help, that the war between the gods was a world created just for me.
