Chapter 399:
The message that came to mind made me tilt my head.
God’s choice.
It is clearly the responsibility of the Elven Fairy King to receive this.
“Why… to me…”
That’s when Taehyun was thinking.
Tiring.
[The progress rate of the quest ‘Tribal War’ has increased.]
[Progress rate – 10%]
[Quest ‘Magic of the Divine Beast’ has been created.]
The progress rate of the tribal war, which was only 5%, has doubled to 10% at once.
Is that all?
The newly emerged quest was fragmentary, but it told me to accept the magical power of the divine beast.
It was strange.
All of these are things that the Fairy King Elven must obtain.
Is there something wrong?
That thought came to me instinctively.
at that time.
‘…!!’
In Taehyun’s mind, memories of ancient times and memories of the moment when the divine beast was first created intersected.
In the memory, the ‘King’ collected the remains of the Divine Tree through predation, and only after a long time had the seed of the Divine Tree been passed on to Taehyun.
In the name of a quest reward.
Afterwards, Taehyeon’s magic power and Elven’s magic power were mixed together to become the current divine beast.
In other words, the powerful magic power emanating from the giant tree includes not only the colorless magic power of the Fairy King but also the dark red magic power of the Underworld King.
‘Could it be… that the owner of the divine beast has changed?’
A divine beast that originally belonged to a fairy recognizes someone other than the fairy king as its owner?
If a sane Elven had heard this, he would have shouted that it was absurd.
Considering the circumstances, it was an extremely reasonable suspicion.
then.
‘For what?’
It is a time when you are spinning endlessly unfolding assumptions in your head.
Coo coo coo coo coo.
Suddenly, colorless magical power bloomed from the divine tree.
A huge stem aimed at Taehyun’s body.
As it was a colorless magic, there was no real sign of it, but it was not difficult to avoid.
if.
That is, if the stem ends in one piece.
Kujik. Kujik.
Kwasik!!
Hundreds and thousands of stems from the gigantic divine tree aimed at the limbs as if they had life.
‘crazy.’
Taehyun hurriedly unleashed his magic power.
Quaaaaa.
I thought that the magic curtain would block all of them, just like it did with countless monsters.
It was a mistake.
Continue. Continue. Sigh.
The magic power of the curtain that touched the stem was absorbed in the blink of an eye.
It was like watching Igmun absorb his power.
As soon as the magical power of the curtain disappeared, I took a step back, but before I knew it, several stems had returned and were touching my legs.
at the same time.
Tiring.
[I have contacted the Great Will. Magic consumption is accelerated.]
[You have come into contact with a gigantic will. Stamina consumption accelerates.]
The full stamina and magic power quickly drained away.
The speed of absorption was comparable to the power used by Igmun’s clone earlier.
‘What the…’
Quaaaaa!!
Taehyun unleashed his magic with all his might.
No matter what the purpose is, I am confident that the stem of the divine tree will greedily seek magical power and not let go.
If all the magic is lost like this, it will become fertilizer for that huge tree.
Tiring.
[Unique skill Predation (SSS) has been activated.]
Ugh.
Kwaduk!!
The maw protruding from under my feet bit into the stem that touched my body.
In that gap, I leaned back.
A thumping sound was heard in the distance.
It was the sound of Typhon leading a large body and running.

Rosaria’s voice was heard next.
[Contractor!!]
Trunks as big as Taehyun’s were sticking out from under her feet as she held the Elven in her arms, waiting for an opportunity.
Rosaria’s tentacles were swung around, but the stems seemed to be being cut off and greedily absorbing magic power.
Grumbling!!
Grumbling!!
Typhon, who stood next to Rosaria, used his powers to help remove the stem.
That too for a while.
The ship of the disappeared thing surrounded the two archdukes with what seemed like stems.
[Step back!!]
The one who said that was Gilper, who was approaching quickly with his wings open.
Cheeeeeeeek!!
Poisonous magical power was scattered throughout the area.
For a moment, I hope that the stems surrounding Rosaria and Typhon will not be able to withstand the poison and will melt.
Soon the trembling stems turned towards Gilper.
This is because traces of Beelzebub, who oppressed the Divine Beast, can be felt in the Great Devil’s magic power.
[…!!]
Kujik!!!
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Wow!!
Gilper, who hastily unleashed his power, blocked the stalk’s attack, but in that moment, a considerable amount of his magic power was taken away, and he became like a rag and fell.
Rosaria’s tentacles quickly snatched away the stem targeting her.
Taehyun, who was avoiding the stem, caught the sight.
‘If things continue like this, everyone will be in danger.’
I had to choose.
Should I try to calm the current commotion by eating the divine beast, or should I resist a little more and find the reason for the sudden rampage?
Phew!!
At the source of the clearly audible sound was a Typhon pierced like a skewer by a stiff branch.
Gilper quickly cut off the branch, but the pierced part was not regenerating.
There was no more hesitation.
This is the moment when Tae-hyeon, who recognizes Shin-soo as an enemy, tries to expand the scope of his predation.
Hwaaaah.
A ten-year-old girl that Rosaria was holding.
Colorless magic bloomed from the Elven’s body.
It’s certainly insignificant compared to the magical power that others emit.
The stem, which had been absorbing the magic power of the archdukes without regard for it, suddenly stopped attacking.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the Elven.
Her red eyes were wide open and facing the divine beast.
An empty voice rang in my head.
[Not these ones.]
‘Elven! Are you conscious?!!
That’s what I asked.
The voice I heard was still mechanical.
[It’s not easy to overcome Shinsu’s choice.]
‘What are you saying!!’
Even though I was shouting and asking, the meaningless words continued.
[There are no other options as long as the god chooses. If you don’t accept it. All creatures with magical powers become prey.]
Typhon and Gilfer were seen glaring at Rosaria and the branches, which looked like they were about to be covered by the trunk at any moment.
Although it is now protected by the magic power emitted by the Elven.
The moment that unstable magic power is extinguished, the absorption of magic power is allowed.
[Accept the divine beast.]
Taehyun instinctively avoided his body.
Kuduk!!
A stem rose up in that spot.
The thought didn’t last long.
Tiring.
[Unique Skill Predation (SSS) has been activated.]
[Unique Skill Predation (SSS) has been strengthened. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
Ugh.
The maw of predation created by squeezing out all the magical power revealed its teeth.
For a moment, I hope that a huge swamp will form beneath Taehyun’s feet.
In an instant, the entire area came under the influence of predation.
[What are you doing…]
“Being dragged around is not my taste.”
As Taehyun said that, his red eyes were aimed at Shinsoo’s body.
[Target has been identified.]
“Eat it up.”
[Wait….]
Kwaduk!!!
Before the Elven could finish speaking, the maw began to eat the divine beast.
Thousands of stems and strong branches resisted the maw of predation, but Taehyun was equally desperate.
‘Heart of the Great Devil’ and ‘True Blood’.
‘Energy Drain’ and ‘Apocalypse’.
After increasing magical power and repeating the process.
The teeth of the maw finally broke through the obstruction and touched the sacred beast.
Tiring.
[Contacted with the Great Will.]
[Skill Memorize (SSS) has been activated.]
[Ancient memories are regenerated.]
[The connection between the upper world and the lower world begins.]
Countless messages came to mind.
Before even checking all that.
pop!!
The red eye exploded.
A moment of terrible pain.
My vision darkened.
* * *
[I guess I’m sleeping more than I look.]
I opened my eyes to the sound of a voice.
The first thing I saw as if my burst eye had regenerated was a bright halo of light.
“Who…”
[Maybe his cognitive ability was worse than he looked.]
The moment I heard those words.
Wow.
The cluster of lights that grew in size took on the shape of a human being.
Behind it, things like wings were hanging down.
“…!!”
My eyes opened wide and I suddenly came to my senses.
That’s because the halo of light in front of my eyes was something I couldn’t forget.
A being that the United States Players Association secretly worships, calling it God.
Taehyun spoke the name of the being who was called God.
“No name!!”
[Fortunately, it seems my memory is not imperfect.] It
‘s just a halo of light.
It only has a human shape.
It was a cheerful voice that made you guess he was smiling.
‘What the hell is this…’
I remembered the moment he disappeared.
I said so myself, and in reality, he didn’t show up anymore.
The only trace was the guy’s voice and the same status message.
But why come now?
“Did it appear this way?”
Taehyun’s voice was crooked when he asked that question.
Irresponsibility, he just said what he had to say and disappeared.
The emotions that had been building up so far were revealed.
[‘If you fulfill your destiny, we will meet again.’ I’m sure you didn’t say that.]
“Have I fulfilled my destiny?”
[Not yet. However, it cannot be denied that we are moving in the right direction.]
“You are a God who speaks lightly.”
A halo of light dispersed at Taehyun’s sarcasm.
You are probably laughing at the unexpected treat.
[I feel sad. I thought I did my best for you.]
“It’s too much for that. “Why can’t you think that it was an insincere memory?”
Taehyun mentioned one by one the memories that Noname showed him the other day.
A one-day racial war in which beings resembling angels wage war against the underworld.
If I think about it now, that appearance was only a portion of Sanggye’s power.
[I mean, that was the limit at the time. When it comes to memories, the capacity of the person who receives them is also important.]
Instead of denying it, Noname blamed Taehyun’s fault.
“I’m so sorry about that. Due to lack of capacity, I was unable to properly digest the information being spoon-fed to me. “Oh, I was watching it through the status window system, so there’s no need to explain.”
There was silence for a moment due to the continued sarcasm.
Noname was the first to bow his head.
[Don’t be like that. [The reason we can meet like this is because of your sincerity.] We
made several arrangements and Taehyun said he had achieved one of them.
“To be chosen by the divine beast?”
[Shinsu. To be exact, it was the card that guy had prepared.]
God didn’t know that the ‘guy’ he was talking about was referring to the king.
I just watched the faint possibility of his plan come true.
God made excuses that did not fit his existence.
Of course, it didn’t work for Taehyun at all.
“You’ll do great. Instead of doing that, how about we start by looking into that arrangement?”
[…It looks like the hatred is firmly rooted.]
“Arrangement.”
[…It’s a memory.]
“…?”
Noname’s explanation continued.
Now that Taehyun has transcended the human body, he will be able to face the truths that he could not bear before.
“Even if memories are important… I don’t think that’s all they are, right?”
When Taehyun asked, Noname continued.
It is said that the reason the King of the Underworld created the current situation was to raise the status of the Underworld by growing the divine beasts.
[You wouldn’t be so foolish as to ask me to explain the reason, right?]
Why is the King of Underworld, who was originally a human, so obsessed with the racial war?
Taehyun already knew without needing any further explanation.
The princes of the lower world wanted to expand their territory to Earth, and the upper world wanted to dominate the lower world.
All that remains is Middle Earth.
A planet of humans that does not belong to either the upper or lower world and is considered the weakest.
No matter how the tribal war ends.
It was quite predictable that the future would not be bright.
however.
[Middle-earth is not just about your hometown, Earth.]
