160. Apotheosis (4)
Self-defense.
It was, so to speak, a state of invincibility.
Beyond establishing a new principle by twisting the providence like a sword, the strong qi (罡氣) interferes with even twisting the providence.
An unparalleledly powerful skill that influences the surrounding magical energy into the user’s will and dissipates all the energy it touches.
ultimate.
It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no suitable modifier other than that.
however… … .
“… … .”
A skill that has reached a state of martial arts that seems to be absolutely unbeatable… … .
‘It’s broken… … ?’
The sword he swung with a feeling of desperation penetrated completely.
‘What the hell is this… … .’
A black stream that acquired the qualities of a god of death and blossomed to be able to see.
The moment I drew the trajectory of the sword along the flow that seemed to have no meaning.
I hit the black dot engraved on the self-defense flag and shattered it vigorously.
and… … .
“Wook… … .”
The results of this miraculous phenomenon were astonishing.
shiver.
The Heavenly Demon vomited as her heart was pierced, and black dead blood soon overflowed from her mouth.
The Heavenly Demon, who had regurgitated blood at once, had a face full of questions rather than pain.
“This, what the hell… … ?”
She couldn’t hide her doubts, even though it would be difficult to stand still because her heart had been pierced.
Chow!
He immediately took out the Blood Heaven Demon Sword rooted in the Heavenly Demon’s heart, and soon the Heavenly Demon staggered back.
She shook violently, clutching at her heart.
“Heh, heh, heh, heh… … .”
It seemed to use magical power to repair the pierced heart… … .
「The authority ‘Divine Power’ is activated.」
I knew better than anyone else that it didn’t make any sense.
Suddenly, the black divinity clung to the heart of the Heavenly Demon, and it shook violently as if to stop it from repairing the heart.
As if he had tenacity to end his breath, the black divinity bit the Heavenly Demon’s heart.
“Geuhup… … !”
Soon, from the heart of the Heavenly Demon, the gray divinity began to overflow to the outside.
Even if you didn’t have to look at the divinity, you could tell that the gray divinity was overflowing.
To that extent, the Heavenly Demon was in a state of ruin.
—… … Interruption has collapsed.
The blade of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled, and the words of Dam Cheonwoo came into my head.
―Not only the ancestral spirit, but also the divinity will be completely destroyed.
It’s a fact you already know.
Even without listening to him, he realized that the Heavenly Demon’s struggle was meaningless.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Demon fell to the floor, bleeding profusely.
“till now… … , Yeo (余)… … , deceit, did… … ?”
To that question, I just shook my head without opening my mouth.
“Is that so… … .”
At that, the Heavenly Demon laughed and muttered.
“You bastard, did you finally qualify for the top spot…? … .”
Her black pearly eyes were filled with emptiness.
“why… … , not leisure… … , you bastard, qualified… … .”
After that, no more voices could be heard.
and… … .
“You have absorbed the spirit of the Heavenly Demon ‘Cheonyusul’.”
「Skill has increased by 24.7%.」
Black smoke rising from the body of the Heavenly Demon flowed into me.
「Absorbs a spirit stronger than the user, and the judgment of power extraction begins.」
Everything felt like a lie.
In fact, I was an underdog who couldn’t stand in this position.
If the battle proceeded according to the original flow, it would have been the Heavenly Horse who survived.
The Heavenly Demon’s self-defense technique was different from the clumsy sword-gang I created.
Both with the sword and with the sword.
There was no way to pierce that ultimate skill no matter what other skill he used.
However, I broke the Heavenly Demon’s self-defense flag and penetrated her heart.
「Judgment successful.」
It was the result of tenacity.
No, more precisely, it should be said that it is the result of the growth of the divinity.
there was a memory
Suddenly, a message came to my mind that the qualifications of a god of death were perfected… … .

Unexpectedly, divinity was suddenly overlaid on both eyes.
And the black flow, the purpose of which was unknown, guided the sword path, and as he stretched out his sword along it, the self-defense technique was pierced.
「It has been confirmed that authority exists in the spirit of the Heavenly Demon, Cheonyuseo.」
「Extracts authority from the spirit.」
What that meant gave the Heavenly Demon a hint right before he died.
Qualification for the top line, it was a really intuitive clue.
“Are you starting to reach godhood…? … .”
It was difficult to understand why the divinity had suddenly begun to be perfected.
In a situation where I was on the verge of death, I remembered why I was climbing the tower.
The craving that started from a feeling like deficiency has now become an obsession that I can’t understand.
Has the obsession close to madness, not wanting to be oppressed by anyone, worked a miracle?
“… … .”
I don’t know.
However, I thought that the possibility exists enough.
‘Because divinity also responds to will.’
Perhaps there was a new path that opened up under the conditions of a runaway of emotions.
It is a miracle that cannot be explained otherwise.
「The special power, ‘Heavenly Demon Regiment (S+)’ is imprinted in the soul of user Han Seong-yoon.」
Whoa!
I was awakened from my thoughts by a sudden trembling felt inside my body.
As if undergoing a cataclysm, strange movements were felt throughout his body.
As I was squinting my eyes at him, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword trembled and I heard a voice.
―Has it finally started… … . Wasn’t it just a coincidence that I defeated the Heavenly Demon… … .
Dam Chun-wu murmured as if it were absurd.
“What do you mean?”
—… … You don’t have to listen now. Anyway, sooner or later you will understand the meaning.
“… … .”
―The Heavenly Demon that died to you was not at the level of completion, but it was at the level of becoming the Ten Masters of the River and Lake. Do you think the blow that defeated such a formidable enemy was a coincidence?
It wasn’t like that.
Cause and effect were definitely connected.
―I noticed that your abilities absorbed the Heavenly Demon Body.
Dam Chun-wu quickly continued as if he had no time.
―The divinity is nearing completion, and it has absorbed even the body of the heavenly demon.
“The harmony of mind, body and body… … ?”
―Just like the Heavenly Demon said right before he died, he now fully has the ‘qualifications’ as an official candidate.
I opened my eyes wide at the concept of a candidate that appeared without fail.
I understood it belatedly.
“no way… … .”
Is the road leading to the godhead open?
But before I could even ask that question, I suddenly felt my vision darken.
-Sit cross-legged and focus on your inner divinity. From now on, transcendence will begin.
I quickly sat up straight in my seat without even replying.
and… … .
“Divine selection has become possible.”
“When you choose a divinity, you acquire the corresponding divinity.”
After that, consciousness was lost.
***
I opened my eyes.
“… … .”
I’m kind of used to it now, so I wasn’t embarrassed.
I also noticed that I had entered the mental space and grasped the situation.
Unlike the spaces seen before, there was a singularity in this image space painted in white.
as soon as… … .
‘Is it over there?’
There is a black door that does not know where it leads.
Of course, I didn’t know where it would lead, but I seemed to know what it was for.
divinity establishment.
He was entrusted with the role of guiding me to the path to becoming a god.
So there was no hesitation.
Knock-!
The black door opened and what appeared was a familiar scene.
“The image space within the image space… … .”
A vortex glowing softly with a sword in the center, a seemingly endless black background, and bright lights leading to the upper floors… … .
It was an image he had seen during the trial on the 11th floor with the help of Saint Eileen.
thump-!
I didn’t even touch the black door, but as soon as I entered the new image space, it was firmly closed.
Of course, I had no intention of going back, so I didn’t care.
jerk, jerk… … .
I began to slowly walk through an imaginary space that could be called my universe.
And I smiled bitterly at the thought that suddenly came to my mind.
‘It’s divine… … .’
I had previously speculated that the tower would select candidates and give them a chance to become gods.
I was dumbfounded to think that I had the opportunity to become a god right before my eyes.
Of course, even if he became a god, he wouldn’t really become incredibly strong.
It would be to the extent of acquiring the powers that were used at the time of the apostleization experience.
but… … .
‘That’s a huge benefit too.’
<Death>, <Darkness>, <Immortality>.
The Divine Power, which consists of a total of three, gave a truly shocking ability.
<Death> forcibly cut off life with the ability to feel like a death god.
<Darkness> was able to swallow what it designated as an abyss-like shadow.
<Immortality> did not succumb to death and barely survived the fatal wound that should have died.
No matter what you get, you will be different from normal challengers.
So it didn’t matter if I didn’t gain the power to overcome everything immediately after becoming a god.
After all, one day he will grow to the point of being comparable to a true godhead.
‘Perhaps the divinity I will choose has something to do with them.’
However, they will not all appear as options for divine orientation.
That would be too… … .
‘Well, since there is a god of darkness, darkness cannot be chosen as a divinity.’
Even if you don’t know about <Death> or <Immortality>, <Darkness> already has a deity.
The god of darkness wearing a gloomy robe was the one who allowed me to become an apostle at that time.
In other words, <darkness> itself is highly likely to be an authority derived from the god of darkness.
Therefore, <Darkness> could not be expected as an option for divinity.
But on the other hand, it means that another divinity is worth expecting.
“… … .”
When I actually reached my destination, I realized that my guess was correct.
“I didn’t expect it to be structured like this… … .”
Let’s reach the place supposed to be the center of the black space like the universe.
Mysterious spheres glowing in many colors came into view.
dark light, red light, green light.
As soon as I saw the spheres composed of three colors, I could sense that they were divine.
‘It’s a bit surprising.’
I don’t know why, but besides <death> and <immortality>, there was another divinity.
After thinking about it for a while, I approached the dark light and reached out my hand.
and.
「Do you want to choose Divinity <Death>?」
Then a system message appeared and I smiled softly.
‘As expected, it works like this.’
Since you said it was a choice, at least the Tower will tell you what it is.
So, I thought that if I stretched out my hand, I would be able to find out what the identity of each divinity was… … .
As if the idea was right, as soon as I touched it, a message appeared asking if I would choose divinity.
Of course, I declined the option.
‘First of all, I need to know what the remaining divinities are.’
I then reached out for the red light, and soon a system message came to my mind.
「Do you want to choose Divinity <Immortality>?」
This was a phrase that did not deviate greatly from expectations.
but… … .
「Would you like to choose Divinity <Harmony>?」
The contents of the message called by the green divinity were beyond imagination.
‘What is this again?’
harmony?
Somehow I frowned at the divinity that seemed a little out of the blue… … .
Soon I noticed where this was coming from, and laughed dumbfounded.
“Could it be that the lightsaber classified the divinity given to the magic skill as an option?”
But again, it wasn’t completely incomprehensible.
The lightsaber said that he was the successor who would inherit the divinity… … .
Unlike the God of Darkness, it wasn’t strange to be classified as an option.
However, Hwahwa had no intention of choosing in the first place, so he roughly passed.
‘Is it a situation where I have to choose one or the other?’
Currently, I am close to the situation where I am at the crossroads of <death> or <immortality>.
<Death> is incredibly strong, but <Immortality> was also hard to ignore.
<Immortality>, which I experienced before, showed the ability to ignore non-regeneration and instant death judgments.
Perhaps if <Immortality> is selected, I will not be easily killed by any strong enemy.
But I wasn’t very attracted to it.
‘It’s best to not die in the first place.’
And since the unique characteristic itself has the ability to match <death>, the options are narrowed down.
That was the moment I was about to end my thoughts and choose divinity.
Whoa-!
Suddenly, a golden energy rushed from behind the three spheres.
It was as if it was announcing its own existence.
‘What is this again?’
Intrigued, I stopped my selection and quickly walked past the three spheres and beyond.
and… … .
“ah… … .”
He could see a disparate golden orb beyond the three spheres.
Ugh-!
The golden light with a sense of freedom that would not be dominated by anything stimulated the mind.
The moment I saw it, I instinctively realized.
this is… … .
“Would you like to choose Divinity <Transcendence>?”
That it wasn’t like the choice the top gave.
“… … .”
This was a new divinity I had pioneered.
