How to overcome -2-
Three people came running right away.
An old man wearing a suit and a lightning bolt tie.
A woman in warm robes and a golden tiara.
A seasoned warrior with a beard that extends like a hedgehog.
They were said to be Archbishops of the Church of Thor, Archbishops of the Church of Gaia, and Directors of the Guardians’ League respectively.
The Archbishop of the Gaia Church looked at me as if he was searching me.
“Do you know a cure for the stigmata, or rather, a way to overcome them?”
The Archbishop of the Order of Thor nods.
“That’s what they said. Our church has already completed the verification. We have confirmed that our church member, Hyordis, has been cured.”
“Hjordis······ Are you talking about the superhuman who married Sigmund?”
“That’s right.”
Sigmund seems to be famous among them too.
Well, Sigurd is a famous hero to begin with.
“Superhuman. Are there any limitations or side effects to that method of overcoming? I’m not saying this because I doubt you. The stigmata have been tormenting us and making things difficult for us for so long, but surprisingly, I’m saying that they can be easily recovered from.”
“doesn’t exist.”
I answered confidently.
“The only limitation is that you must use the correct method of overcoming. If you use the method of overcoming the Kimaris stigmata with another demon’s method of overcoming, side effects will occur immediately.”
“What are the side effects?”
“It is corruption. You become a devil on the spot.”
“That······”
The Archbishop of the Gaia Church clicked his tongue.
“We need to manage it thoroughly so that we don’t end up using a half-baked method to overcome it.”
“You have to be careful. Even if you put in just a little bit of the wrong ingredients, something irreversible can happen.”
“Hmm, hmm.”
The Guardians’ League director cleared his throat.
“I heard that you know of several other methods to overcome the stigmata of Kimaris. May I ask which demon’s stigmata you know of?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
I paused for a moment.
The two archbishops stared at me intently, and the Guardian League director gave me a burning gaze.
“I know how to overcome the stigmata of six types: Gremory, Andras, Belial, Dantalion, and Andromalius.”
Actually, we all know that.
All 108 seats I drank.
I didn’t memorize it out of the blue, but I memorized it naturally as I made the strategy book and various application strengthening catalysts.
The problem is that most of the core ingredients come from hell.
In the area that opens after Episode 5: Hell Gate.
There are only six ways to overcome this limitation that can be created using materials found on Earth or in the Great Labyrinth.
The Guardians’ League director echoed my words.
“Kimaris, Gremory, Andras, Belial, Dantalion, Andromalius······”
It would have been disappointing, but his eyes were sparkling.
“That alone is amazing! Aren’t they the most common demons on the lower levels? More than half of the victims of the stigmata were hit by these six! If you could just teach us the six ways to overcome them, you would be making a huge contribution to our Guardians’ League!”
“Now that I think about it, yes, that’s true.”
“Many of our believers have been touched by the stigmata, and they will all rejoice.”
“And it doesn’t have to stop at those six. If we work together, we can uncover the secrets of overcoming them.”
“That’s right. There is no secret hidden in front of sufficient time and budget! It’s time to unite the power of all mankind!”
“That’s it!”
The Archbishop of the Order of Thor and the Guardians’ League Director were killed.
As soon as I got back, I was excited to start allocating a research budget and figuring out how to overcome it.
The Archbishop of the Gaia Church bowed deeply to me.
“Even if you just hear about it, it is truly an incredible knowledge. It is knowledge of value that cannot be converted into money or nectar, but I don’t know how to express my gratitude for giving this to humanity.”
“We live by helping each other. If the Guardians’ Alliance and the two religious orders hadn’t stopped the Great Labyrinth, humanity would have perished long ago.”
“If the saints of all times had heard this, they would have been truly delighted.”
“Who is unaware of the dedication of the Guardians’ League and the two sects? Not only I, but all of humanity is grateful.”
No one dislikes putting gold on their face.
The two archbishops and the director had pleased smiles on their faces.
Then the Archbishop of the Gaia Church makes an apologetic expression.
“First, there is one thing I would like to ask for your understanding.”
“Go ahead.”
“I would like to introduce Superman’s overcoming method right away, but since this is a public matter, we need to proceed transparently. It may be rude, but we have decided to conduct a public experiment on Superman’s overcoming method.”
Public experiment?
Aha, so you’re going to do a clinical trial.
I nodded willingly.
“That’s obvious. The method to overcome Kimaris has been proven, but the other five species haven’t. Feel free to experiment. I like that too.”
“I think we’ll have applicants available soon. Can we start right away?”
“Of course. I will also attend. I need to intervene if an emergency arises.”
“Thank you very much for your kind words.”
The recruitment of applicants was over in a flash.
The place I am at is the Guardians’ League headquarters.

The victims of the stigmata were always known to the Guardians’ League.
Among them, those with the most serious illnesses were contacted one by one, and their families, who were already on edge, came running like the wind, carrying and embracing the victims.
The main auditorium of the Guardians’ League headquarters.
The gathering included the Federation President, directors, famous superhumans, and even German politicians and entertainers.
The auditorium was packed to capacity with so many people coming.
The victims were laid down, leaving only the center empty.
“The basics are the devil’s blood. Any method of overcoming begins with the reversed devil’s blood.”
That’s how I got lucky.
The priests opened their eyes wide and recorded my instructions on their tablet PCs, and the superhumans of a higher level than me prepared the ritual by responding to each of my instructions.
“Then it’s a little different. Kimaris and Andras use candles made from the hair of the Abyssal, but Gremory uses candles made from the marrow of succubi, Belial uses candles made from the feathers of fallen angels, and Dantalion and Andromalius use candles made from crushed human skin tomes.”
“Is this the Black Magic Book of Inpi?”
“Ah, isn’t there something that comes from the Great Labyrinth other than the cheap ones you see on the market?”
The superhumans nodded as if they understood.
“Oh. Up until now, I just burned everything I saw, but who would have thought that I could use it in my overcoming method······”
“Let’s start collecting them now.”
“You have to be careful. It’s a bewitching monster.”
“It would be better to carry a separate bag for sealing books.”
Countermeasures are prepared and methods are established on the spot.
He wasn’t just following my directions, he was forging a new path.
“And the flame that burns the candle······”
The properties were all different.
Some things required darkness rather than fire, or even soaking in blood.
The catalysts were different and the elixir they fed was different.
The few things they have in common are that they draw magic circles with the blood of the devil and that the blood of the demon is used as the main ingredient in the elixir.
“We must hunt the demons.”
“I hope it can be successful.”
“Even if I die, I’ll come back to life in a month anyway······”
“Do you have enough blood reserves?”
“I have enough blood from other demons, but I think Gremory’s blood is a little lacking. It’s too hard to look at her face.”
“Let’s organize the Gremory Expedition right away!”
“Our brotherhood will be the first to participate!”
“What are you talking about! Our brotherhood is the vanguard!”
“There are victims in our Brotherhood too! We will begin!”
Let’s ignore the fighting Norse superhumans.
All rituals have been completed.
I fed the five victims the elixir and grabbed the incorporeal stake, the real stake, the golden stake, and the hellish stake.
The victims’ families trembled nearby.
“Excuse me, is everything okay over there?”
“Don’t bother me, Superman. Just watch. I told you. Our Brotherhood member, Hjordis, was also cured by him.”
“No matter what······”
“Oh, let’s be quiet. What would you do if Superman made a mistake?”
He doesn’t just say those words, but his eyes are burning with fire.
It’s not like you’re trying to pressure me or doubt me.
There is only earnestness in it.
He was tightly suppressing his emotions and magical power, his wishes and hopes mixed together.
And it’s not level 4 or 5, it’s level 6 or 7.
No matter what anyone says, they are high-level superhumans.
‘It’s a little burdensome.’
Actually, I’m a little worried about putting in a gold stake or something like that.
In the game, all you had to do was prepare all the necessary materials and talk.
There weren’t even any small events like QTE (quick time event, button action). All it did was output a line of dialogue and have the screen shake and flash a few times.
‘It’ll be okay.’
But if I hesitate here, I will end up with neither food nor death.
Thinking that all his gaming knowledge had worked so far, Jin drove the stake in first with all his might.
“Ugh!”
A middle-aged man has convulsions.
A situation where one has already turned into a devil.
Jin-eun pierced the mutating heart, and the stake evaporated in an instant as the power of the demon and the power of the perm reacted violently.
A silver storm started there and passed through the middle-aged man.
The mutation stops in an instant.
Next, a middle-aged man returns to his original appearance as if turning back the clock.
Moreover, one thing was missing.
The stigmata that consumed my entire body.
The power of the devil.
Traces of alcohol and invasion.
It completely disappeared, leaving only a powerful superman in its place.
“Euuum······”
“dad!”
“honey!”
“Brother! Brother! Are you awake?”
“Ugh, here, here······”
One side of the auditorium was filled with tears, while the rest was gripped by even greater tension.
No, should I say anticipation?
Intense gazes were pouring down on me like a waterfall.
Drive the stakes in succession.
It didn’t matter whether the stake was tangible or intangible. As soon as it was driven in, it evaporated and transformed into a storm of light.
Even I, who has overcome many stigmata debuffs in games, have never seen this before.
After completing all the steps, I looked at my work in awe.
“Maria! Maria!”
“Sister!”
“Oppa! Oppa!”
“Oh my god!”
“Thank you, Gaia! Thank you!”
All five recovered.
I opened my eyes as if my soul and body had evaporated.
Superhumans who don’t know what’s going on and just blink their eyes because they have no memories.
On the other hand, the family members and relatives cried, laughed, and expressed a variety of emotions.
Since most of them are superhumans, the magical waves are scattered and overlapped, causing the air to ripple in strange ways.
He soon ran to me and thanked me.
“Thank you! I really appreciate it!”
“thank you!”
“I will never forget this favor!”
“You are my benefactor! I will repay this debt with my life!”
People of different races, religions, and cultures.
Some people held my hand, some bowed, and some cut their palms and swore in blood. I was so confused.
The Guardians’ League director smiled happily and pulled me away from them.
“Okay, okay. Our Superman must be tired. Let’s all go and spend some time with our families, and let our Superman rest.”
“Your Majesty! Please give me a chance to treat you sometime! I will throw you a Highland-style banquet!”
“I will give a village to the superman!”
“Are you married? I have a lovely granddaughter······”
“Oh, don’t say anything weird!”
After being surrounded by the bereaved family, or rather, the family that almost became bereaved, for a long time, I barely managed to escape.
Take refuge in a conference room at the Guardians’ League headquarters.
He looked at the closed door and smiled bitterly.
“This is completely out of my mind.”
“It’ll get worse from now on. I plan to mobilize all the temples in the Labyrinth City starting tomorrow.”
“Total mobilization?”
“All seven major denominations are expected to participate. In Aachen, our denomination and the Gaia denomination are the strongest, but the other five major denominations also play a significant role.”
By then, I won’t be able to go outside at all, right?
Even now, I watch them like I’m watching an idol, and by tomorrow, the newspapers, TV, and internet will be plastered with my face.
I should just take care of business quickly and return to Korea.
Since Korea has almost no victims of the stigmata, the impact will be less.
When I tell that story, all three of them are surprised.
“No, you’re leaving already?”
“You should stay for a while and then go! You can see our cardinal, the Pope, and maybe even Thor himself!”
“The same goes for Gaia!”
“Are you kidding?”
Face to face with God?
Are you crazy?
It also appears in Greek mythology.
Was it Semele?
The story goes that he asked Zeus to show him his true form, but he couldn’t handle the heat and light and burned to death.
A human must be at least level 7 to face God.
They say that even in game raids, there is an entrance cut.
Those below level 6 die immediately upon entering. Those at level 7 die in less than a minute, and only when you reach level 9, or the constellation, can the raid be properly established.
The two archbishops looked visibly disappointed.
“It must be something that even God would praise, but you are leaving so quickly······”
“It’s such a shame.”
“Hahaha. I didn’t do this to expect praise. If more Guardians return alive and devote themselves to humanity, I will be satisfied with that alone.”
“Haha, there is someone who is so greedless······”
“There is a reason why he is called an adult of this era.”
“We should suggest to the Pope that he be canonized.”
“Oh my, isn’t this truly a miracle?”
“Please······”
When I made a troubled expression, Archbishop Thor of the Church chuckled.
“Haha, I’m joking. You’re calling someone a saint, even though they’re not even from our church. That’s just excessive.”
“Isn’t there a way of gratitude that suits the eternal, and a way of gratitude that suits the secular world?”
The Archbishop of the Gaia Church gives a meaningful look.
Towards me, and towards the Archbishop of the Order of Thor and the Director of the Guardian League.
Is that it?
There’s a way to thank a superhuman that’s most suitable for him!
The three nodded as if they had made a promise.
Was that the trigger?
Several magic boxes suddenly appeared on the conference room desk.
“It’s a small gift.”
The three of them smiling brightly.
I didn’t bother to act coy and refuse.
I opened the box with trembling hands.
Phew!
A brilliant platinum light burst out.
A halo often seen in games.
To be exact, it was the light I saw once when I pulled out the Cheonma, and I had seen it countless times only on streamer broadcasts.
in other words.
It was SSR grade!
