141. Hero (1)
“The achievement ‘Resurrection’ has been achieved.”
“All stats increase by 4.”
“The achievement ‘Adversary’ has been achieved.”
“All stats increase by 4.”
After winning the battle, all stats went up considerably… … .
「Breaking Heaven Sword destroys things that are difficult to break, and the grade increases to A+ rank (8,700/10,000).」
Even <Advent>, perhaps because he killed the god of battle, his sword-breaking sword grew to the brink of rising in rank.
Perhaps, if you add in the ordeal breakthrough reward, what you get from this floor is indescribable.
However, apart from that, the state of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword was not good in many ways.
「All Soul Ego skills of True Blood Demon Sword are disabled.」
“The durability of the True Blood Demon Sword has decreased by a total of 9.4%.”
Damcheonwu groaned as cracks appeared in various places on the Blood Heaven Demon Sword.
[ … … Are you okay? ]
In response, I spoke directly to Dam Chun-wu and asked him, and the answer came back immediately.
—… … Damn, do you think it’ll be okay? As soon as I woke up suddenly, I was dealing with a god who had <Advent>… … . It’s fortunate that <Advent> wasn’t perfect. If it wasn’t for that, both would have died.
[ … … . ]
—… … Of course, it seems that he somehow miraculously survived, but he can’t stand his sleepiness. Don’t tell me later when you come to your senses. Until then, I will not be able to help you.
[ All right. ]
―And, why did I suddenly fight with God like this, I must tell you… … la… … .
Soon, Dam Chun-wu’s voice faded like a candle blowing in the wind, and he was no longer audible.
There were many things I wanted to ask in more ways, but Dam Chun-wu seemed very tired from this battle.
‘… … can’t help it I’ll have to talk to you later when I wake up.’
Even if it wasn’t, I couldn’t talk much because it was hard to keep my mind for a long time.
It seemed that Dam Chun-wu’s condition had deteriorated, so there was no feeling of regret inside.
‘He seemed to know quite a lot in many ways, but it’s a pity that I couldn’t ask him.’
I don’t know if it’s because I climbed the tower to a fairly high floor, but Damcheonwu seemed to know quite a lot about gods.
So I have a lot to ask, but sleeping like this only made my heart more complicated.
Well, that doesn’t mean there’s a specific solution, so instead of paying more attention, I turned my attention elsewhere.
‘God of battle.’
He immediately approached the body of Gerhan, who had fallen to the ground.
I went down with high expectations, wondering if there would be a command left by the god of battle… … .
Approaching Zerhan’s body split in half, an unbelievable sight unfolded.
[Pray… … eat… … . how… … west. ]
The God of Battle still hadn’t released <Advent>.
‘what? I thought <Advent> was unlocked because the ordeal clear message popped up?’
I was taken aback for a moment, but I understood the situation after seeing his condition.
‘Ah, even with <Advent>, I won’t be able to do anything anymore.’
The god of battle is meaninglessly looking at me while maintaining <Advent>.
Since the ability to harm me was gone, it was safe to say that the ordeal had been cleared.
In fact, leading the holy war to victory is the condition for breaking through the ordeal, so the 15th floor ordeal was as if it were over at the point of making him invincible.
I said looking down at the god of battle.
[Isn’t there anything you can do by paying all the holy power to the tower like that? ]
[ … … Heh, I paid for it in advance. Even if I wanted to cancel it, <Advent> can no longer be cancelled. ]
[I am glad to hear that. ]
[ … … I will definitely kill you guys. Don’t think this is the end. I’ll make you regret that you dared to cross the divinity of the dog of the tower. ]
[ … … . ]
Seriously, by this point, I was tired of this obsession.
What is it that you have acquired an alternative divine power that treats you like an enemy of Cheolcheon? … .
However, the question has now been somewhat resolved.
There was something I found out through sadohwa.
Those who have acquired divine power with no trace of god are given a chance to aim for the realm of god.
This was also one of the things that I was awakened to by instinct, forming a kind of apostleization, so I was able to guess.
‘Perhaps the god of battle doesn’t want a new godhead to be born.’
Of course, it had to be a bit lacking in logic, but according to the information I found out now, it was.
[For sure, next time, I will kill you… … . ]
But the truth is, it didn’t matter why the battle god was targeting me anymore.
He thought of me as an enemy and even did <Advent> himself, and I fought him as an enemy and won.
That was enough.
[ Swallow. ]
As soon as I quietly used the divine <Darkness> through Nature Keeper, the floor was dyed black.
「I use the Divine <Darkness>.」
「Darkness devours the specified target.」
[ ─! ]
The god of battle tried to shout something more while maintaining <Advent>, but… … .
The darkness that dyed the floor faster than that swallowed the guy’s head intact.
Soon after, Zerhan’s body drooped and black smoke rose.
「The preliminary apostle ‘Zerhan Nebia”s command has been absorbed.”

「Skill has increased by 7.7%.」
It was a mark of necromancy.
‘… … As expected, the god of battle doesn’t appear.’
The only spirit that can be absorbed is that of Zerehan Nevia.
Since the god of battle wasn’t dead, it was natural that the command wouldn’t be absorbed… … .
I couldn’t help but feel regret in many ways.
However, that feeling was dispelled by the message that followed.
「Absorbs a spirit stronger than the user, and the judgment of power extraction begins.」
It was a message of power extraction that I hadn’t seen in a long time.
Of course, Zerhan Nebia alone will never be a tricky opponent for me… … .
「Judgment successful.」
Well, it wasn’t too much of a surprise because I vaguely noticed that power extraction decisions weren’t made purely based on combat power.
「It has been confirmed that the authority exists in the spirit of the prospective apostle ‘Zerhan Nebia’.」
「Extracts authority from the spirit.」
But what was expected was unavoidable.
As a reserve apostle that the god of battle cherishes, the powers that can be extracted must be quite useful.
The actually extracted authority did not disappoint those expectations.
「The authority ‘Sunbo (B+)’ is imprinted in the soul of the user Han Seong-yoon.”
The ability of Shunbo’s authority was simple.
「Authority ‘Shunbo’ is activated.」
「A cooldown is given to the power for 10 minutes.」
「Consumes divine power to instantly move to the desired point within sight.」
It was a mobile device that could be used over short distances.
Actually, since the use of the authority itself was simple, there was nothing to look into… … .
Perhaps because he was in the state of being an apostle, his insight into the authority was heightened, and he realized the essence of this authority.
‘… … This isn’t jumping through space, it’s high-speed movement, isn’t it?’
It seemed that I could use it to cross the space and hit the wall alone.
Well, if you use it in a large space, it’s no different from teleportation, so you don’t have to worry.
After insight into Sunbo’s authority, a message appeared in a corner of his field of vision.
“The god of darkness laughs at the foolish god who consumed all his holy power like an idiot.”
“The God of Proof still sneers at the God of Battle, saying that there is no thought.”
It was nothing but a message from two gods he had seen before.
[ … … . ]
Both of them were laughing at the god of battle, but I couldn’t understand their intentions, so I wasn’t very happy with them.
The god of battle tried to kill me just because I possessed divinity.
Then, it means that these two gods can change their attitudes at any time according to their interests, like flipping the palm of their hand.
‘God is a being to be careful of.’
Until I figured out its true purpose, I had no intention of foolishly trusting it.
「The Tower of Trials will issue a disposition of ‘banned from descending and no chatting’ to the god of battle who violated the rules.”
Fortunately, the Tower punished the god of battle.
In addition to having to pay divine power, Advent and chatting were prohibited as if there were rules.
At least for the time being, it didn’t seem like we had to worry too much about the God of Battle intervening in the tower.
「There is <00:00:00> left until the apostolicization is lifted.」
The remaining time was running out, and the time to release the apostleization approached.
“Time is over.”
「Apostolicization cancellation is in progress.」
「Divine keywords <death>, <darkness>, and <immortality> will disappear.”
“ah… … .”
The darkness that enveloped the whole body disappeared like melting snow, and the brilliant divinities disappeared.
To be honest, it was regrettable, but originally, it was a power that would not have been given to me.
‘I just need to get stronger and reach a level where I can use it again.’
It was the moment when I was trying to appease my regrets and move to the portal that was created after the ordeal was cleared.
Suddenly, I sensed a large army approaching from around me, and my senses quickly stretched out.
Without having time to do anything about it, I could see the true identity of the presence caught in the sensation.
“How, how could this be! Has the savior of the dark religion truly appeared? … !”
Secret religion.
A group of necromancers led by priests who believed in the dark gods reappeared.
And that’s with a pretty massive corps.
Only then did I realize that the dark religion was not a pointless run away.
‘… … It seems that they chased down the telegraph bridge that ran away and finished it off and replenished their troops.’
They must have thought that they needed more troops to have an impact in a transcendent fight.
It was quite strategic, but it was useless because the battle ended faster than expected.
Even now that the portal has appeared, I didn’t want to be involved in any more trouble.
however… … .
“Oh, the apostle of the god of darkness… … ! How could you have forsaken us all this time!”
Suddenly, Archbishop Keneil, whom I had seen before, appeared and knelt down.
Even while shedding tears.
‘what… … ?’
To be honest, I didn’t know why they considered me an apostle serving the Dark God.
But it must have been my own idea, and several priests and mercenaries also knelt.
Looking at that overwhelming sight, I hesitated involuntarily, but that became the catalyst.
“Why didn’t you help the Amtheists even when they pressed us!”
Archbishop Kaneil cried out in a fit of madness.
‘… … No, I’m not an apostle, so why are you misunderstanding me like this?’
I wanted to be honest and say that I wasn’t an apostle, but as always, life in the world doesn’t go as it pleases.
“The authority skill ‘Reaping Faith’ is strongly activated.”
“You harvest the faith in you from those around you.”
As soon as I saw the harvest of faith, my mouth opened without a second thought.
“… … I couldn’t help it.”
Although the words that came out against my will were embarrassing.
Soon, I caught my spirit and rolled my tongue more smoothly.
“This was the will of the god of darkness. I did not forsake you.”
He lied softly without spitting on his mouth, but his guilt did not stand out.
This is your chance.
This is a golden opportunity to create a new myth.
So rather than feeling guilty, the thought of taking advantage of this situation dominated my mind.
‘… … I can’t help it. Faith is not easy to obtain.’
Apart from muttering in his heart, his mouth did not rest as if he was hypnotizing himself.
“And the Dark God has not forsaken you. The proof is here.”
“The dark god is a very kind-hearted child and wants to stroke your hair.”
It was dog noise.
In fact, if the Dark God had any intention of helping them, he should have helped them earlier.
However, he had no intention of rejecting the faith that was harvesting at best.
“Everything was just the will of the dark god, and I just faithfully followed it.”
In fact, when Archbishop Keneil heard this, he hit his head on the ground with more tears in his eyes.
Not exaggerating, really.
thud!
“That, that means… … ! I’m sorry, apostle! Not knowing that, we… … !”
It was like seeing a psychopath suffering from madness, but it didn’t matter as long as this could be used for faith.
“it’s okay. Because this is what God originally meant.”
“The Dark God smiles, feeling satisfied with your words.”
“I am impressed that the god of proof now seems to have a good understanding of deception.”
I didn’t care what the gods said to each other.
For me, it was more about taking advantage until I left this 15th floor stage.
It was then.
“… … Yes, the apostle! Please, I have something to ask of you!”
Suddenly, a woman jumped out from behind Archbishop Kaneil and bowed her head at me.
“you are… … .”
It was Raynel Asir.
When I spoke as if I remembered her, Raynel quietly asked me a question.
“I-do you remember me… … ?”
“yes. Didn’t we talk together a few days ago?”
“Woah, it’s an honor! Well, that’s why I called the apostle… … .”
Reynel’s voice got smaller and smaller like an ant, probably because of the glares from the priests behind her.
“I want to hear your name… … .”
But when I heard what came out of her mouth, I laughed.
I can’t believe it was the name that I had something to ask while being so nervous.
I was a little taken aback, but I decided to tell you that it wasn’t that important.
“Han Seong-yoon.”
however… … .
“That is my name.”
A new message popped up before my eyes to see what effect it had.
“By letting the worshipers know their true name, the harvest of faith is accelerated.”
“The harvest of faith has been accelerated, and sufficient quantities have been accumulated to generate myths.”
「Calculation of myths based on actual results and Shinto beliefs.」
It was a message of myth creation that I hadn’t seen in a long time.
“The myth <The Last Savior> has been completed.”
「The myth <The Last Savior> is accumulated in the divine power.」
「From now on, when challenger Han Seong-yoon activates the myth, the <Salvation> effect will be applied.”
“When you save the weak with good deeds, all abilities will definitely grow a little bit.”
「From now on, when you activate the corresponding myth of challenger Han Seong-yoon, the effect of <Seeking Path> will be applied.”
“When following a religion, divine power is enhanced according to the number of followers.”
Seeing the absurd myth of salvation and rescue, I laughed bitterly inside.
Somehow, the more I lie, the stronger I feel.
‘I wonder if I had any aptitude for this… … ?’
… … It’s really just a little bit, but it seemed like that, so my conscience was stabbed, albeit belatedly.
