NOVEL NEXT Chapter 488
488. Resurrected (1)
Is this because they showed an end to Tekal, one of the official apostles serving the God of Glory?
Unlike before, the God of Honor did not show any pretense, such as sticking to informal language rather than formal language or pretending to be calm on the outside in order to protect his pride.
Thanks to that, I was able to obtain all the holy relics possessed by the God of Honor very easily and without any trouble.
‘Well, at best, the God of Honor, who is only a high-ranking god, doesn’t have such a huge holy relic… It’s not that bad, is it?’
Currently, there is a mountain of unusual items piled up in the huge library prepared for the selection test of the Gray Magic Tower.
[The God of Honor looks at you and bows his head so as not to offend you.]
[…God of transcendence and death. Please take a look, I have brought all of the relics I have, without missing a single one. Of course, you can take it all, so do whatever you want. ]
Somehow, the God of Honor showed an attitude that was close to submission and treated them as carefully as possible so as not to make them angry.
‘It’s true.’
Even though the skill ‘Fire Dragon’s Eye’ was used to determine truth and lies, there was no sign of lying on the other side.
Eat.
When I saw that, I laughed out loud and parted my lips as I stared at the God of Honor.
“I have a good feeling. If you still spoke informally to me as if you were a superior like before, I thought I would at least teach you some manners. “I guess that’s not necessary.”
[ …. ]
As soon as he heard what this person said, the God of Honor broke into a cold sweat and expressed his nervousness, but that only lasted for a moment.
Tuktuk-.
“great job.”
[ …. ]
They expressed their intention to surrender first, so there’s no reason to press them any further, right?
After giving her a light pat on the shoulder, I passed by the God of Honor and looked at the numerous relics and items she had brought with her.
However, contrary to appearance, the relics and items brought by the God of Honor did not have great abilities, which was disappointing.
‘Well, the God of Honor is a being with an initial level of power among the higher deities, so you can’t expect a top-class relic.’
However…
‘Well, among the relics brought by the God of Honor, do three of them fall into a somewhat useful class?’
It’s not that there was no income at all, but three of the relics seemed quite usable.
[Elixir of Talent]
[Grade: SS-]
[A mysterious green potion that affects talent, created by the God of Honor with great care to enable talented people to achieve higher levels of talent.] [
With divine power . When self-taken, all abilities increase by +30, and the sense of detection and control of divinity and magic power is improved.] [
※ However, the Elixir of Talent only provides the effect once and has side effects when taken repeatedly . Occurs.]
A luxurious-looking potion imbued with green divine power created with great effort by the God of Honor, a higher-ranking deity.
‘I guess it’s just so-so.’
It increases your sense of detection and control over divinity or magical power?
Not only did they achieve a level of power equivalent to the three ancient gods, but they were also able to see and learn countless techniques with just one natural talent.
Just by looking at it in person, you can go beyond just watching and imitating techniques for manipulating magic power or purely weapon techniques and can enhance the original techniques and develop them to a higher level.
In that case, how much of a difference would it make if we now add a little advantage to that natural talent?
‘Well, being able to increase all abilities by +30 without any restrictions or conditions will be quite helpful, so that part is definitely beneficial.’
However, the effect of increasing all abilities by +30 from the relic ‘Elixir of Talent (SS-)’ was not bad, so I should be satisfied with it.
[Divinity Destroyer]
[Grade: SS]
[A gray greatsword that rejects divinity, designed by a higher deity to destroy divinity itself more efficiently.] [
It has great resistance to the divinity of formal deities who have not become higher deities. When in contact with divine power, it has the property of destroying divinity.]
[When the user injects and uses divine power, the exclusive effect ‘Divinity Destroyer’ can be activated.] [
※For a period of 100 seconds, the user can also use the concept of divinity of a higher deity. By being able to resist strongly, it becomes possible to exert great resistance to divinity, the concept that is the basis of divinity.] A
gray greatsword that focuses solely on resisting and destroying divinity itself.
It wasn’t bad, but that was it.
It was ambiguous.
‘It’s not particularly good, but it’s not so bad that you can say it’s bad.’
When this side was a high-ranking deity, if they had obtained the holy relic ‘Divinity Destroyer (SS)’, they might have considered it a huge gain, but now it is difficult to think like that.
‘There is no need to put in so much effort now to resist and destroy the concept of divinity, such as a mere higher godhead.’
That’s because now, except for a few strong people who are special cases among the high-level gods, most of them can be destroyed by polluting the entire concept of divinity with divinity
Is there a need to use the holy relic ‘Divinity Destroyer (SS)’ to fight against a mere higher-level deity?
It wasn’t.
Moreover, there was no merit in using the holy relic ‘Divinity Destroyer (SS)’ in front of a powerhouse equivalent to the three ancient deities in a fierce battle where life and death were at stake.
‘It would be best to use the Seal of Offering to invest in divine power, or to convert it into an increase in ability level by eating steel.’
If you just change it to the skill ‘Steel Eating’, you don’t have to think too badly about it because fortunately, you can get a moderate increase in ability level with the relic ‘Sacred Destroyer (SS)’.
[Immutability Bracelet]
[Grade: SS+]
[A blood-red bracelet with strong constancy that deeply assimilates the wearer so that the total amount of power cannot change, preventing the power from becoming stronger or weaker.] [
When wearing the item . The user’s power is fixed from the time the item is worn, as it can no longer become stronger or weaker.]
‘…This is pretty good.’
It was great.
When I saw the relic ‘Immutability Bracelet (SS+)’, I narrowed my eyes and smiled lightly.
To be honest, it was more useful than the relic ‘Elixir of Talent (SS-)’ or the relic ‘Divinity Destroyer (SS)’.
‘…even if it is a mortal restriction placed on oneself by the divine
Currently, in order to stop the start of Ascension beyond the Gate of Ascension and return, we have placed a mortal curse on ourselves that will force us to face death someday, and are weakening by the minute.
‘If I could neutralize even the mortal constraints I had placed on myself with the divine
Wouldn’t it be great if it could be neutralized using the relic ‘Immutability Bracelet (SS+)’?
Click!
Without hesitation, I wore the relic ‘Immutability Bracelet (SS+)’ on my right wrist and tested whether my guess was correct. I was able to immediately distinguish between correct and incorrect answers.
“Is this happening?”
It was correct.
The mortal restrictions imposed on oneself by the divine
were neutralized at the same time as one wore the holy relic ‘Immutability Bracelet (SS+)’.
In order to prevent the weakening of divinity and the status of the soul, power has been drawn little by little from beyond the Gate of Ascension, but even the need to do so has disappeared.
However, just as it prevents you from becoming weak, it also makes it impossible to become stronger, so there is a big disadvantage that comes with the big advantage…
Most of the moments of growth, including necromancy, can be known in advance, so you can just unequip it one by one each time.
‘Do you like it?’
It’s not even just that.
If I can also neutralize the mortal restrictions I placed on myself through the divine
If we can neutralize to some extent this divinity,
‘Even though the mortal limitation I placed on myself with the divine
When I realized that fact, I felt satisfied with a smile on my face.
Recently, most of the items I obtained while climbing the Tower of Trials were all unsatisfactory, so I was feeling dissatisfied without knowing it, but it feels like it relieves my stress all at once.
Feeling that the relic ‘Immutable Bracelet (SS+)’ would have many uses in the future, I checked all the items brought by the God of Honor.
‘Not very good.’
Of course, there was no such thing as extra-expected income or hidden treasure.
‘Just in case, I checked them all with my Fire Dragon Eye, but there is no hidden treasure here.’
If we had to be honest, should we say that the four relics brought by the God of Honor are unusual?
Among the higher deities, there are many sacred relics that are too much for a being who has achieved the hierarchy of divinity, which is only at the initial stage.
I thought perhaps even that was possible because the God of Honor was the ruler of the world and had swallowed an entire planet.
[….]
[The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect ‘Offering’ is activated.]
[You have received 147 items as an offering from yourself.]
[Replace the relevant items with divine power to strengthen your heart. Accumulated in.]
Gooooo-!
In an instant, numerous items brought by the God of Honor turned into a handful of divine power and entered the body.
[Skill ‘Steel Eating’ is activated.]
Sigh, wow!
[….]
[Complete absorption.]
[Strength increases by 7.]
[Stamina increases by 4.]
[Durability increases by 5.]
[Magic power increases by 6.]
[Concept increases by 4. .]
‘…It’s amazing?’
Is it because the relic ‘Sacred Destroyer (SS)’ was changed to the skill ‘Steel Feeding’ this time?
Nowadays, even if one absorbs the commands of most high-ranking gods, all abilities do not increase this much, but the increase in all abilities was greater than expected.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was rewarding to treat the God of Honor with mercy and persuasion(?) instead of killing him out of nowhere.
“It is not wrong to say that good deeds go around and eventually come back to me.”
In fact, isn’t good deeds like a bug where power is copied?
―You really do a variety of things….
Do you not like the fact that you did a good deed and got great benefits as a result?
Dam Cheon-woo, who read through the shared awareness that this side realized the virtue of good deeds, should have said that, but did not respond in particular.
Instead, I was able to come up with an interesting idea as I watched the selection test participants standing around and the excited God of Honor.
“her. What is this…. Did the God of Honor offer up a sacred object to that unknown person…? This can’t be right….”
“Shh. Be quiet. The author… no. I guess I’m someone you can’t call that kind of person. That person didn’t reveal who he was. “You better watch your mouth.”
“Hmm. Does that mean the author is a being higher than the God of Glory? Even more so than the god of honor who holds the most power in the entire continent? “This is unbelievable…”
From our perspective, they were very weak, but they had incredible power, but that was only based on the hierarchy of divinity.
Not from a mortal’s point of view.
All of those who participated in the selection test of the Gray Magic Tower are strong people with the power to be called superhumans in the world.
If so, the value of use was also sufficient.
‘It would be better to gain everything you can in order to reach the end of the path to becoming a transcendent beyond the Gate of Ascension.’
Jump and jump -.
Then, I approached the God of Honor and, with a grin on my face, parted my lips and made a suggestion.
“you. Do you like it? “From now on, follow me, worship me, and make offerings at regular intervals.”
[ yes? What is that… I apologize, God of Transcendence and Death. As a higher deity, I already have my own temple and congregation, but…]
“Uh. I know. You don’t seem to understand… I’ll just explain it briefly. “I’m asking you to hand it all over to me.”
[ ? ]
“It was hard, right? You have to build a temple and gather believers. Even though you have become a high-ranking deity, you must have had to take care of all kinds of bad work. But not anymore.”
[ Well… I’m fine. It’s not that hard. yes. Of course. It wasn’t difficult or painful at all, and I didn’t think it was a bad thing…]
“Hey.”
[ …. ]
Is it possible that they feel burdened by the difference in rank in front of the power this side has and are giving it away for no reason?
I also know how hard it is for those who are high-level gods to build a temple and gather believers.
In theory, if a higher deity creates a temple on its own, the temple will not be able to fulfill its function, and wouldn’t it be difficult to gather believers and directly display power due to causality?
Tuk-.
Then I put my arm around the God of Honor and continued the conversation in a relaxed tone.
“You don’t have to do that for no reason. Can I answer honestly? It’s been hard so far. yes?”
[ …ah. Ha ha ha ha ha. okay. When I think about it again, I think it was quite difficult. ]
But….
“Yes. From now on, you don’t have to go through much trouble; you can build a temple for me yourself and gather a reasonable amount of believers. “I will allow it.”
Even though this side gave me the opportunity with a big heart, I wonder if all the hesitation hasn’t gone away yet.
[ …that. Ah, no matter what, I think it might be a bit difficult to get to that point─ ] To help the other side come to a better conclusion, I gave a little but strong force to the shoulder joint.
Wow-.
“I’m serious?”
[ …. ]
As if that wasn’t enough, I looked into the eyes of the God of Honor and smiled coolly, and soon the right answer came out.
[The God of Glory looks empty and vows to make you the object of worship.]
[…God of transcendence and death. It is an honor to serve you as my master. Please take care of it. ]
That too, very definitely.
[The God of Transcendence and Death smiles broadly as he realizes that he was lucky enough to obtain a free slave.]
[That’s correct. ]
Well, from the beginning, it was a problem with a fixed outcome where there was absolutely no possibility of getting a wrong answer instead of a correct answer.
***
After the God of Honor responded that they would serve this side, everything was handled smoothly.
[….]
[The ancient divine power ‘Designate Apostle Godhood’ is activated.]
[By designating the Apostle Godhood, you can make a believer a Godhead or a believer into an Apostle Godhead.]
Before I knew it, I had placed my hand on the head of the God of Honor. He was appointing her as an apostle.
[The god of transcendence and death designates the deity believer ‘Kirea’ as an apostle deity.]
Are they happy to be able to serve a being who can compare to the three ancient deities?
[The God of Honor expresses his gratitude while barely holding back his tears.]
[…God of transcendence and death. Kirea, the God of Honor, is honored to serve you. ]
After the process of designating the Apostle as Godhead was completed, the God of Honor answered with tears in his eyes.
“okay. Let’s do well in the future. Understand?”
[ …yes. I will not disappoint you.]
With that, I realized that I had seen every advantage that could be gained from this place, and began preparing to return.
[Congratulations, you have surpassed the 37th floor of the Tower of Trials.]
[As a breakthrough reward, ‘Book of Talent and Honor (SS-)’ will be sent to your inventory.]
[You have obtained ‘3500000 points’ as a breakthrough reward.]
[Breakthrough You have obtained ‘400000 SP’ as a reward.]
[As an additional breakthrough reward, ‘Nameless Grimoire (S-)’ will be sent to your inventory.]
[Go to the waiting room.]
In an instant, the God of Glory is for those who passed the selection test. The conditions for clearing the trial were met by handing over the prepared seal of talent.
Turp, plod, trudge -.
So, I approached the portal in the middle of the huge library, turned my head back, and smiled at the rest of the selection test participants.
“If you believe in your own natural talent, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to believe in yourself rather than the God of Glory.”
No answer came back.
Everyone who participated in the selection test for the Gray Magic Tower just stood there with their mouths closed.
I took one look at the red-haired young man who had started an argument when I had just arrived here, and then turned my head to see him trembling in shame and fear.
The seeds were sown.
In the future, depending on what the God of Honor and the participants in the selection test do, crops may grow from seeds and produce delicious fruits.
Something you will find out over time.
Swish-.
That was it.
***
[Entered the waiting room on the 38th floor.]
After returning to the Tower of Trials, I activated the reward increase and changed the reward for clearing the 37th floor trial into an item of a higher level.
[….]
[Exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase in reward] is activated.]
[The level of reward is increased by exclusive authority #D-0007[Increase in reward].]
[Reward for breaking through to the 37th floor’ Talent and Book of Honor (SS-)’ are strengthened to ‘Book of Glory for Brilliant Talent (SSS-)’.]
[Additional 37th floor breakthrough reward ‘Nameless Book of Grimoire (S-)’ is changed to ‘Book of Grimoire of the Great Sage’ (SS-)’.]
Now it was time to check each item that the Tower of Trials gave as a reward for clearing the 37th floor trial and take time for maintenance.
‘Well, it’s unlikely that the items are of that high level, so let’s quickly finish checking the rewards and go to the next floor.’
The moment I opened my inventory and checked the items given as a reward for passing the 37th floor ordeal.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!!
A strange thing happened.
[The newly collected tales have accumulated enough to create myths.]
[The myths are calculated according to actual results and Shinto beliefs.]
[….]
‘Huh?’
System messages appeared before my eyes very quickly and I felt a new power coming into me.
[A significant portion of the tales originate from Apostle Godheads and Godhead believers.]
[You were born with natural talent and achieved a level of power equal to that of the three ancient Godheads of the universe.]
[An unprecedented feat in the history of the universe. Numerous gods worship and praise you, who have achieved this, and sing of transcendence to the far beyond and of a great death that reduces even immortality to mortality.] There is
definitely something different from the general myth or the transcendence myth created by the divine
[Ancient myths are created taking into account the stories and beliefs originating from the Apostle Godhead and Godhead believers.]
[Divinity
[Heavenly Myth
[….]
Strangely enough.
