Episode 221 Above the Sky -3-
It’s a truly beautiful sight.
It looks like they’re only thinking about stabbing each other in the back of the head.
I pretended not to know and accepted the high priest’s offer.
“Okay. I swear. Should we make a magic oath or something?”
“There’s no need for that. Just swear by your word.”
“As a verb?”
“okay.”
The high priest looked at me, or more precisely, at the dragon regalia I was wearing.
There is nothing that cannot be done.
I changed my character and declared with emphasis.
“[I, Kim Jeonsa, swear that I will not attack first unless the High Priest of the Dark Jaguar Cult attacks me first. I also swear that I will immediately release you if you faithfully explain the secret alliance between the Dark Jaguar Cult and my old father’s cult and hand over the evidence. This oath is only valid between me and the High Priest of the Dark Jaguar Cult, and does not apply to any other being. Finally, this oath is valid for exactly 24 hours from now.]”
“Huh… … They’re attaching a lot of conditions.”
Then leave me defenseless?
I’m not that sloppy of a person.
The high priest nodded once and then assumed a solemn expression.
“[In the name of the Dark Jaguar God, I, the High Priest of the Dark Jaguar, will follow the oath of the Superhuman Kim Warrior and will not attack the Superhuman Kim Warrior first, but will faithfully explain the secret alliance between this sect and the old father sect and transfer the evidence. This oath is solely between me and the Superhuman Kim Warrior, and will also be valid for 24 hours.]”
On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be any problem.
But I laughed inwardly.
How is it so similar to the game?
Even though the comments are a little different, the crucial parts are perfectly copied.
I would definitely say “I”.
What are you talking about?
When the High Priest wears the incarnation of his special ability, the will of the god moves the High Priest like a puppet.
That means the dark jaguar can attack me with its own incarnation.
Then what about me?
Anyone except the High Priest can attack.
Even if you are the incarnation of the dark jaguar, it is the same.
Since it inhabits the body of the high priest, shouldn’t it be considered the high priest himself?
The soul and the subject are more important than the body and the individual.
There will be some backlash.
So much so that my body almost broke apart.
Even in games, I would often get in a near-death state and receive significant debuffs.
But it’s a risk worth taking.
Rather than being caught by the high priest and eaten by the incarnation.
“Could you please clean this up?”
“Okay. Don’t talk nonsense.”
“I don’t even have the magic to do that.”
The high priest sat down comfortably.
He crouched down like a bear and looked up at me.
“So what is it you want to ask?”
There are many.
Questions were springing up like bamboo shoots the day after rain.
After briefly organizing my thoughts, I asked the first question.
“Why on earth did you form a secret alliance with the Old Father’s Sect? Isn’t the Old Father’s Sect the enemy of your sect?”
Originally, the American continent was ruled by three religions and three gods.
Tezcatlipoca of the Aztecs.
Kukulkan of the Mayans.
Inti of the Incas.
Of these, Kukulkan was the most powerful.
Because he was the god of the Maya and also reigned in the Aztecs under the name of Quetzalcoatl.
Then, the balance was broken when the old father’s sect was pushed out of Europe and came to the New World in large numbers.
“The Aztecs and Mayans were destroyed by the old fathers’ cult.”
In the meantime, the rise of the Mamaquila Order was a bonus.
The goddess Mamaquilla was the goddess of the moon and Inti’s wife.
They rose up in protest against Inti’s tyranny and became the main religion ruling the American continent.
“Yes. That’s right. The old Father’s Sect is the thousand-year enemy of our sect. We must defeat it someday. But there is something we must do first.”
It’s the same thing again, over and over again.
The high priest ground his teeth and said,
“Poka. If you don’t bring that name, the Dark Jaguar will never be able to escape his beast form.”
The Old Fathers’ Order and the Mamaquila Order coexisted for a time.
They said that their relationship was pretty good.
However, the old fathers, who welcomed human sacrifice on a large scale, and the Mamaquila sect, who detested human sacrifice itself, could not go together until the end.
Eventually, during the War of Destruction, the Mamaquila Order stood against the old Father Order and achieved tremendous results.
‘The contribution of the wise gods was great.’
The Mamaquila Order has some peculiar deities.
These people are also called wise gods or reincarnated gods.
A small deity that is reincarnated into a human body for generations.

Although the level is lower than that of other gods or minor gods, its influence on reality was great.
Tepheus, the god of the stars.
Ehecatl, god of wind.
Poca, the god of acting.
The god of rain.
It was a system created by the Mamaquilla to absorb and firmly control the existing deities of the Incas, Aztecs, and Mayans.
Until then, most of the wise gods had died and only four survived, but Mamaquila was victorious.
The old Father’s Church had to wander the world without a fixed location before settling in Seoul, South Korea.
“Did the saint promise you? That she would give you back your name?”
“Yes.”
“What do you believe in?”
If I ignore it, won’t it just end there?
The saint isn’t a very trustworthy person.
“You can’t trust the saint. I guarantee that no one knows the saint better than our church. The saint is a snake, a scorpion, a poisonous bee, and an ant hell. She is a people you should never trust.”
“then?”
“I believed in the oath, not the saint. Even the Dark Jaguar agreed. Even if it meant enduring a brief moment of humiliation, it would be better to be resurrected.”
What does this mean?
Content that didn’t even appear in the game.
After clearing Episode 3, the documents obtained only contained a few sentences about how the old Father’s Sect had moved the Terrorist League and the Dark Jaguar Sect.
Let’s think about it carefully.
A brief moment of shame, resurrection, and vows… … .
“No way. Are you going to become the new deity of the old father’s sect? The dark jaguar?”
“Huh. It’s not the Dark Jaguar, it’s Tezcatlipoca. In any case, the world to come will be difficult for the gods to establish and claim their own domains like they did in the past. Rather than fighting each other in a cramped ark, it’s better to acknowledge a clear superiority and be recognized for a portion of the stake.”
A significant statement.
A cramped ark?
It was a word that came out of nowhere, but it had a point.
Because I know the future, the direction in which this world will change.
“An ark?”
“Heh, you don’t know.”
The high priest laughed openly.
“If you don’t know, then remain ignorant. There will be only despair and sorrow. Just know that life will be a sea of pain, and the earth will become hell, as the saint always says.”
“Pretend to be. Do your followers know that your church has become like the old father?”
“The young and weak do not need to think or know. They just need to follow where they are pointed.”
“Isn’t that complete crap?”
“Hoo hoo hoo.”
The high priest laughs sinisterly.
Anyway, we moved on to the second question.
“But why Seoul of all places? Not Brazil, where your church is, or Sao Paulo, where Poca is?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
The high priest looks at me as if he doesn’t know that.
“That’s because the main temple of the old father’s sect is in Seoul. It’s not called the Holy See or the Pope’s Office, but the main temple in Seoul is actually the headquarters. In order for the old father’s sect to achieve its long-cherished wish, chaos in their stronghold is essential. Of course, they have to use us.”
“And in the meantime, you all die?”
“That was the contract. Our deaths and the coming of the Phantom King. In return, we agreed to capture Poka within two years of this incident and deliver him to our sect.”
As we all know, the result was a hit and run.
In Episode 3: Resurrection of the Ancient Gods, the old father’s cult was completely destroyed.
From the saint’s point of view, it was a good thing anyway.
If you succeed, it’s all good, but if you fail, there’s no future anyway.
‘I’m not… stupid.’
If you think about it, there is no choice.
I hardened my face and asked.
“Is the ark related to the apocalypse?”
The apocalypse.
An update that was originally supposed to consist of Episode 10.
The high priest gives a look of surprise.
“Amazing. You know what? That’s right. This world will soon come to an end. After countless disasters, the earth will be devastated, and the world will be torn apart and drift through the dimensional rift. Among them, the only place where people can live is the Ark, Seoul.”
It was the same in games.
Even as countless cities were destroyed by nuclear war and torn apart by dimensional rifts, Seoul held on.
But the background has become that gloomy.
In the setting, the poor are in a state worse than death.
The situation of the characters that users saw wasn’t too bad, whether it was allowed in the game or a privilege of a level 9 superhuman.
“The gods don’t seem to care?”
“Ha. You foolish and arrogant seeds.”
Thor was drunk.
Gaia was just a little worried.
When I asked with the two in mind, the high priest twisted the corners of his mouth.
“The coming age of darkness. The gods with oil in their bellies will not survive. They will die and die, becoming the foundation for the birth of the gods of smoke, volcanoes, mirrors, truth, light, and darkness. When that time comes, when you are hunted by the faithful 9th level superhumans, you will finally realize. Ah, it is already too late!”
If you think about it, the Divine Raid opens in Episode 9, Dimensional Rift.
You can catch Thor and Gaia too.
In the story, he is also treated as dead.
Wow, so this is how you interpret it.
No.
I think we should consider it an IF route, not a regular route.
A future where the old father’s sect is victorious.
A future where Seoul is completely taken over and the old father is resurrected and reigns.
There, only some of the old gods who were demoted to minor gods survive, and all of the existing gods are eaten.
“But what should I do?”
I continued speaking in a jeering tone.
“It’s already over. You broke the contract, so do you think the Saintess will resurrect your god?”
“What are you talking about? The contract has already been made.”
“what?”
“It wasn’t my will, but I sacrificed everyone here anyway, so the ritual was completed. Now, only one remains.”
What does this mean?
I search my memories hastily.
The Dark Jaguar Headquarters dungeon that was updated late.
There, the Ghost King was the final boss and the boss.
It did not appear unless certain conditions were met.
The High Priest’s [Living Sacrifice] ends with an infinite battle and [Incarnation].
And the condition is… … .
‘Eliminate all enemies in the dungeon!’
A similar situation occurred here.
All of the personnel moving to headquarters died.
Just one person, except the high priest.
It is said that the condition will be fulfilled if only the high priest dies.
Could it be that the Phantom King has descended here?
But to summon the Phantom King, you need a huge amount of magic power, a mountain of corpses, magical weapons, and rare materials?
“The Ghost King is summoned? Here? That’s impossible!”
“You. You know a lot for a shallow non-believer.”
The high priest narrows his eyes and glares at me.
“The preparations are already complete. All I have to do is go and perform the ritual. If the priests and the priesthood were alive, I could have raised a larger army of ghosts… … It’s okay. It doesn’t matter. The Ghost King is a semi-god-level undead monarch. Although he will descend in a weakened state, he will assess the situation and, while hiding, build his own army first.”
It means that if you give it time, a zombie outbreak will happen.
In other words, it also means that you have some free time.
“ego.”
The high priest who had been sitting rose from his seat.
“The conversation is over.”
“Are you ready?”
“hmm?”
“Did you know how to waste time trying to recover your magic power?”
“Haha. You’re quite smart. I ask you sincerely, do you have any intention of submitting to the Dark Jaguar? I’m sure the Dark Jaguar will be pleased.”
“And then you’ll chew me up.”
“Tsk… … such a shallow non-believer. Offering oneself is the greatest good.”
The high priest shrugs his shoulders.
The body is growing more.
He was originally large, but he seems to have grown to be 2.5 meters tall.
There is a bloodshot glow in both eyes, and a dark halo flashes behind the head.
Neither I nor the high priest can attack each other.
Even if you recover your magic power, it is impossible to run away.
Because I promised to give evidence that I would cooperate faithfully.
Boohoo!
The high priest tore his clothes.
He put his hand on his chest and threw a piece of his heart and the magic chip he had inserted at me, while looking up at the sky and shouting.
“Great Dark Jaguar, devour your servant!”
Incarnation body activated.
Kkwarreung!
The sky bursts into thunder as if responding.
The clouds seen through the airplane window are turning dark.
Darkness was falling over the world like volcanic ash.
Also, the high priest is transformed.
The face becomes distorted, black hairs grow, and the mouth protrudes.
Transformation into an incarnate body.
Kookung. Kookugung.
Magical power swirls around.
A huge force comes down and presses down on the plane.
The engine and magic elementals are immediately affected and start shaking uneasily.
So much so that it wouldn’t be surprising if it crashed right now.
It was the moment I had been waiting for.
[Divine Power][Holy Light][Brilliance]
[Sacred][Healing Hands][Halo]
Six characteristics collected in preparation for this moment.
Even though I obtained the Holy Sword through sacrifice, I waited without combining it on purpose.
I just put it together.
The six characteristics combine and light spreads out.
A radiance that originates from me and extends to the sky, appearing like a crown.
The halo of light splits the magic.
A lump of ominous magic that had just been transmitted from the sky and was descending upon the high priest.
“What, what is it!”
The high priest opens his eyes in astonishment.
I secretly placed my hand on the high priest’s chest.
In that wound where the magic chip was removed, the heart was exposed, and red blood was gushing out.
“You have to be healthy.”
I’m serious.
I hope you live a long life.
Of course, I used the Holy Knight’s healing hand, divine power, and all the other good traits.
Heal the high priest.
Pour in divine power.
Is this an attack or a cure?
I look up to the sky without any shame.
They’re really doing this to heal you.
Yeah, that’s right.
I don’t know whether magical and divine powers will collide or react in the process.
Kwaang!
Magic power runs wild.
Blood is shed and internal organs are damaged.
The high priest swallowed a few words with difficulty.
“Keep your oath, keep your oath.”
“I’m trying to help you. I’m trying to help you. Seriously?”
“Filho da pita!”
What did you say?
I can tell by the look on his face that he’s cursing.
That’s a very sticky level too.
I also whispered in the high priest’s ear.
“Oh, thanks for the compliment.”
There’s nothing better than hearing your opponents swear at you.
That means you played the game well.
I bowed my head with sincerity.
Then the high priest becomes even more wounded and starts spewing blood.
“Keuk! Keuheuk!”
“Okay. I’ll treat you better. You need to get better quickly.”
“Stop, stop, please stop. Please… … .”
I beg but it doesn’t stop.
After a treatment that lasted over an hour.
The high priest writhed in agony and died.
A magical power that briefly hovered around the high priest like a ghost.
It licks the plane as if it still has some lingering attachment, then disperses and disappears on its own.
“Ugh!”
I wasn’t fine either.
Even though he had bypassed the oath, he had still suffered a blow.
Plus, I poured divine power and magical power into it for over an hour.
[Emergency! Emergency!]
The plane has been slowly descending for a while now.
The sea level, which should have been so far away, is getting closer.
Something went wrong with the autopilot.
I feel bad about losing all the loot, but I can’t take the risk to make a few bucks.
I only collected a few artifacts that were famous in the game.
I have nothing to use, but I’ll sell it anyway.
‘I’ve secured the most important thing.’
Rub your hands on the armpit.
Put the Great Escape Ring on your finger and operate it while looking at the sea surface.
In his other hand he held a small, hard object.
It’s the magic chip.
A magic chip thrown by the high priest to keep his oath.
That is, evidence of a secret alliance between the Old Father’s Church and the Dark Jaguar Church.
Depending on how you use it, it could be used to form an alliance.
