268. Closure (1)
god of battle.
Among the deities who accumulated bad ties while climbing the tower, he was uniquely unfriendly.
Is it because he has a personality that only works when he suppresses his opponent?
I had never had a good relationship with him before.
‘Perhaps the bad relationship with the god of battle is greater than the god of despair, fall, and madness.’
That’s why seeing the god of battle in person like this gave me a new feeling.
It was worth it.
The gap with the Godhead that I even thought I would never be able to overcome.
It was because they had crossed the gap that seemed impossible to close and reached the arena of the duel on equal footing.
[ … … . ]
and.
「It is designated as unable to escape due to the effect of the sacred realm <Hell’s Arena>.」
「All means of moving outside the sacred realm <Hell’s Arena> are excluded.」
“The sacred realm <Hell’s Arena> is a 1:1 duel between each other, and only one winner remains before it collapses.”
Now I know that my bad relationship with the god of battle will end here.
Reading the system messages that popped up in front of me at once, I raised my head.
The god of battle looked at me and smiled.
It’s like it’s not even funny.
[Khehehe! Even though I killed my apostle, you still dare to come here… … . are you really stupid ]
It was like watching a most enjoyable comedy.
Perhaps the God of Battle doesn’t even know I’m in a trap and thinks I’ve come here… … .
It wasn’t like that.
I already knew that the god of battle would be preparing something here.
However, I entered here on my own volition.
‘It’s a golden opportunity to defeat the god of battle. It would be foolish not to come here.’
It was worth it.
A chance to deal with the Gods of Battle, who have bumped into each other again and again?
Even if you assume a certain level of risk, it is inevitable that it will end like this.
Even more so when you think of the divinity you gained from defeating him.
Even if he were to suffer damage, it would be right to defeat the god of battle right here.
So I wasn’t shaken by the words of the battle god.
[I already know that this is a trap. ]
and.
[ haha! Did you know that you came all the way here? There is no such thing as an idiot… … . ]
Soon, the moment when the god of battle smirked.
[No wonder. ]
As if to cut off his words, I immediately opened my mouth.
[God of battle. A prey like you came directly to me after a long time… … . ]
And with a very deep smile.
[Isn’t it a waste to just let it go? ]
The god of battle frowned for a moment as if he was dumbfounded, then continued.
[ … … under! Are you saying you’ve taken off the mortal t-shirt now? You sound c*cky. ]
It was as if he had heard a low-quality joke.
[But it’s true. ]
But I said it smirking this time too.
[This rotten guy… … ! It’s a pierced mouth, and you can speak as you like… … . ]
Watching the god of battle’s face rot, I continued talking as if cutting off his voice.
[ A formal divinity that earned each other formally. Then there’s nothing you can’t fight against. ]
and.
[Garbage… … . On the subject of a new chick that has just recently gained a reputation… … . Do you dare to say that you are equal to this body? ]
next moment.
[If so, let me know. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. How insignificant is your strength. And about what the years accumulated as a godhead mean. ]
Dark divinity flowed like steam from the red skin of the god of battle and spread.
Hard… … !
The power of the godhead weighed heavily on the air in the blink of an eye.
It looks like they’re trying to put pressure on us in earnest from now on… … .
I could understand why the god of battle showed such confidence.
Before I knew it, I felt tension running down my spine.
‘The power is so incongruous… … .’
A degree that never reached the level of the ancient deity.
However, it is not an exaggeration to say that the standard level of godhood has already been exceeded.
The god of battle, to put it bluntly, stands on the borderline between an ancient deity and an ordinary deity.
And, as the god of battle said, it could be difficult for me, who had just become a god, to handle.
‘It must have been that it wasn’t unfounded confidence.’
but… … .
[Because this one isn’t that weak either. ]
It could be said that this was similar.

There was a reason why he dared to enter the sacred realm prepared by the god of battle.
I immediately focused my thoughts on him and aroused the power of the myth that was dormant in my heart.
「Myth <Reversal Hero> is activated.」
「All stats increase by +151.」
「The special buff <Competition> is activated.」
“Under the premise of fighting each other in a 1:1 state, the consumption of holy power is greatly reduced.”
Whoa-!
Even so, the difference between the ranks was not huge.
If that were the case, there wouldn’t even be a fight between them.
It’s just that I felt a sense of crisis because I was approaching an ancient deity.
The moment the divinity imbued with the power of the mythical <Reversal Hero> envelopes the body.
The opponent’s attitude, which had weighed on his shoulders until now, was easily scattered like a lie.
The god of battle opened his eyes wide in surprise, and I held the twin swords in my hand with a deep smile.
[ you… … ! ]
Even if it wasn’t, I was curious.
[No surprise. ]
How far can I draw my strength in a battle with a true godhead?
[Because the real thing will start now. ]
so… … .
[Let’s see the end of one of the two here. ]
From now on, it was time to fight each other’s everything.
***
As soon as they checked each other’s rank, the battle immediately began.
There’s no reason to waste time talking about trivial things.
In response, I used the Godhead-only power that I used to kill Kramash just before.
as soon as… … .
「The divine attack exclusive authority ‘List’ is activated.」
「You can designate up to 100 people out of all beings within 1,000m.」
“The beings on the list of deaths approach death every minute and become greatly weakened.”
「Anyone who continues to fight for more than 44 minutes while being listed in the Shinigami list will be eroded by the divine <Death>.」
I activated the list of death gods that half-definitely stains the opponent with divine <death>.
“Designation complete.”
“The god of battle has been registered in the list of deaths.”
“The power of the god of death begins to act on the god of battle.”
「Divine <Death> can easily erode the designated target.」
For some reason, the name of the god of battle did not appear in the list of death gods.
Could it be that because he is a god, his name cannot be found even in the list of death gods?
Or is it that there is no such thing as a name in the first place?
It bothered me a little, but it didn’t matter too much.
‘Anyway, the power of authority has been applied. Then it’s not even worth knowing a name.’
It was worth it.
You don’t need to know the name of the target you’re going to kill here.
Having cut off such trivial thoughts, I immediately consumed my holy power to activate my skill.
「The skill ‘Intangible Sword’ is activated.」
「The skill ‘Intangible Sword’ is greatly influenced by the divinity of challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
「The skill ‘Intangible Sword’ uses the basic activation ability ‘Myth Overlap’ by the divinity <Transcendence>.」
「When a certain amount of the skill ‘Intangible Sword’ is created, a new additional activation ability ‘Divine Interference’ is used.」
Whoa-!
In the blink of an eye, golden longswords appeared everywhere, revealing their presence.
In fact, even these shapeless swords have some degree of lethal power… … .
Even so, it was difficult to use the intangible swords for attack.
It was worth it.
「Myth <Enemy of All> is activated.」
“From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the effect of <Natural Enemy>.”
「When the <Nemesis> is activated, your holy power greatly interferes with the power of all beings.」
「※ Beings without will cannot resist your divine power.」
「From now on, the effect of <Chaos> will be added to the divine operation of Challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
「When <Chaos> is activated, the enemy’s negative emotions are extracted as Faith.」
「※ As the enemy’s negative emotions increase, the efficiency of faith extraction also increases.」
The true value of shapeless swords is not in attack, but in support.
[ You can use overlapping myths? what else is this… … . ]
The god of battle frowned and said that, but he had no intention of answering the question.
「The power skill ‘Starlight’ is activated and a starlight containing divine <transcendence> is created.」
Kiyiying… … !!
The light of the stars containing the divinity <transcendence> built from star light is condensed in the air.
That too to a level beyond its limits.
Contrary to the increase in killing power with Divine <Death>, the feeling that the limits of divine condensation have disappeared.
Even the power of the special buff that was currently applied to me was working.
‘Is the value of the sacred power consumed by the Holy Light reduced?’
They said that the cost of holy power is reduced… … .
In fact, it seemed that the divine power consumed by Holy Light, a powerful skill, had been reduced to 1/4 level.
It felt as if the divine power was replicated.
That’s why, without hesitation, I continued to consume divine power to inflate the power of the holy light.
And—
「The god of battle is greatly astonished at the starlight made of divinity.」
[This is nonsense… … ! ]
Soon, the brilliant golden light lit up the sacred realm <Hell’s Arena>.
The god of battle vomited in denial, revealing deep confusion.
It’s even more intense.
[Even if it’s the power of the original dragon god, the power can’t be condensed to this extent! ]
It seems that the power of the Dragon God, who can be said to be the original owner of the holy light, was assumed… … .
[ okay. If it was the power of the dragon god, that would have happened. But this is no longer the power of the Dragon God. ]
The Holy Light attributed to the divine <Transcendence> is now in a different state from the original Holy Light.
So the output is bound to be difficult to compare to the original.
Even though he responded kindly, the god of battle reacted quickly instead of continuing the story.
Before he knew it, he too had activated his divine authority.
「Divine <Battle> is used.」
「It has been designated as the target of the divine <Battle>.」
「By the divine <Battle>, some of the challenger Han Seong-yoon’s stats are temporarily transferred to the opponent.”
The power of divine <combat> took all the abilities without mercy.
I wasn’t too surprised because it was a divinity I had seen once while in the giant tree labyrinth.
Even if it was the transfer of some of all the stats, it was just a loss of about 10 of all stats in numerical terms.
However, the divine authority that followed did not.
「Divine <Eat> is used.」
「Divinity <Eat> begins to support Divine <Combat>.”
「Due to the divine <battle>, the challenger Han Seong-yoon’s divine power is partially absorbed by the opponent.”
Suhwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… … !
As soon as the god of battle stretched out his hand, some of the holy power condensed in the holy light was absorbed into him.
Perhaps that also seems like a perfect divinity for battle.
Now, at this point, it’s ridiculous.
‘It’s an openly fraudulent ability in continuous combat.’
Divine <Combat> and Divine <Eat> both have strengths in continuous combat.
To be able to bring the opponent’s power back to you as time goes by?
In fact, in a continuous battle, it is a power that is different from telling the tolerable opponent to die.
That’s why it was difficult to condense the power into the Holy Light any longer.
Even if I condense the power into the holy light like this, it would be like giving power to the enemy.
In response, I immediately stopped injecting power into the holy light and exploded it.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A situation where the Holy Light was used without increasing the distance between each other.
Not only the god of battle, but I also have to deal with the damage, so the opponent probably didn’t know that it would explode at this time.
I could be swept away by the power of the Holy Light without any countermeasures.
However, thanks to the divinity he had newly acquired from a native deity, his worries were alleviated.
「I use the divine <protection>.」
「By consuming divine power, cast a blessing that excludes the external divinity once.」
「However, those who have received protection once cannot receive it again for 12 hours.」
The moment when the green light made up of divine protection was wrapped around the body.
The explosion of holy light that had reached his skin was erased immediately.
However, the god of battle could not block the holy light.
The situation where he was directly hit by the holy light that became like a natural enemy due to Shinhwa’s <Enemy of Everything>.
So, the result was disastrous as expected.
Chi-Ik-!
[Turn off… … !! ]
When I turned my eyes to the sound of meat sizzling, the god of battle was there.
The god of battle dissipated the flesh-gnawing power of the holy light with a pained face and widened his eyes.
His eyes were so bloodshot that anyone could tell he was angry.
And that, too, while living a life that was more profound.
[It will rot… … ! ]
Then the god of battle roared and fired another divinity.
「Divine <Counterattack> is used.」
「Divine <Counterattack> quadruples the accumulated damage and sends it back to the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
「Divine <Counterattack> deals an additional 10% of counterattack damage to challenger Seongyoon Han for 4 seconds.」
[I will definitely tear you to shreds and kill you!! ]
Divine <Counterattack> was activated, and the shouts imbued with divinity soon turned into a roar.
The god of battle roared like a beast, and at the same time, the roar soon became a single flash and fired.
But the sound of the shot never rang out.
The appearance of red flashes shooting as if they had transcended the speed of sound.
In response, I immediately activated the skill and focused my eyesight to see the red flash.
「The skill ‘Focus on Combat’ is activated.」
「The user’s concentration increases tenfold.」
‘I can’t seem to stop this.’
And immediately, I was able to conclude the divine <counterattack>.
If you block that, you will be mortally wounded in return.
Even so, it was impossible to avoid it right away.
It’s a blow that almost fills up half of the <Hell’s Arena> in the divine realm.
‘I’d rather hold out until the divine <Counterattack> ends.’
Even if it was a blow that originally should have been helpless, there was a way to withstand it.
It is also a means to survive without the slightest damage.
It’s not different… … .
「The black-and-white hourglass (S+) exclusive effect, “The Last Hour,” is activated.”
「The user’s time is stopped for 4 seconds, and during that time, no power interferes.」
「Adds a cooldown of 7 days to the Black and White Hourglass (S+) exclusive effect, ‘End of Time’.」
Hourglass dyed in black and white (S+).
Additional rewards obtained by clearing the 21st floor trials.
Use this to gain temporary damage immunity from all damage.
