198. Labyrinth final layer (5)
mortal piece.
It seems to be a type of spirit that can be absorbed when killing the incarnation of a godhead… … .
To be honest, I thought I wouldn’t be able to finish all of this.
It was worth it.
On the 7th floor stage, the deity that can use the incarnation is limited, and even that has killed two of the three.
The remaining one was moved to an unknown space by Aria… … .
When I heard the news that the clumsy god of observation had escaped by using the labyrinth-exclusive deity authority, I soon abandoned my expectations.
―That… … .
He said he would never be able to complete the corpse piece.
―The god of clumsy observation.
but.
―I never thought he would appear in such a close place… … .
The moment I saw the incarnation of the god of clumsy observation flowing out of the black portal that appeared in the sky.
[ This… … . ]
In my heart, I felt an intense fire rise from the anticipation I had been trying to close.
[Causal. ]
destiny.
If an unavoidable flow really existed, it would be like this.
As soon as you hit the incarnations of the two godheads, you immediately show up like this?
It’s an opportunity never to be missed.
「The authority skill, ‘Grace of Wind’ is activated.」
「All speeds increase by 150%.」
「Current skill overlap progress – [15]」
I’ve never been able to accelerate this much with the grace of the wind before… … .
Paaang—!
By increasing all speeds by 150%, the process of moving was completely different from before.
—… … All action speed is increased, but there is no limit to the overlap of the increase rate. Seriously, no matter how many times, it’s a fraudulent technique.
Despite the state of deification, the movement is accelerated to the point where it is impossible to properly control it.
To the extent that I can really barely see movement with my body vision, which has long since been out of human.
but… … .
‘There’s no need to control movement anywhere.’
This is a prearranged problem.
There was no need to have complete control over where to go.
It was worth it.
Anyway, this uncontrollable movement speed is to use another movement device soon.
「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.」
Shunbo activation distance.
I just accelerated excessively to satisfy that condition.
Shunbo’s range of movement is not very wide, even if it is within sight.
And anyway, if you activate Shunbo, all the acceleration that had been attached to your body before will disappear, so there was no need to worry about moving away from the destination.
「The authority skill ‘Grace of Wind’ is deactivated.」
Arriving right in front of the clumsy god of observation, I smiled.
[ hi? ]
The god of clumsy observation was startled and uttered a fearful voice.
[What the hell is this… … ! Nonsense! How are you here… … !? ]
He probably thought he wouldn’t be able to come to him because he was dealing with other deities… … .
I didn’t feel the value of answering that question with words, so I immediately grabbed my sword.
As a matter of fact… … .
「The exclusive effect ‘Doubling’ of the Power Skill skill ‘Soul Source Magic Sword’ is activated.」
「Consumes holy power to increase power skill power [1.7] times.」
The best way to communicate is through physical conversation.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
… … no no
***
good.
[As expected, this level of output won’t kill you right away. ]
Landing lightly, I clicked my tongue as I watched the god of clumsy observation tremble while stuck to the ground.
His body was severely cut, but not to the point of facing death.
‘I consumed too much divine power to deal with two incarnations of the godhead.’
Honwon Demon Sword evolved into a Power Skill and became a skill that increased the output of martial arts itself by a multiplier.
However, what is used in return is divine power.
Due to the fierce battle the other day, it consumed a lot of fuel called divine power, so it couldn’t produce enough power.
‘Even if I offer the items and skills I’ve collected in the labyrinth as tribute, I still don’t have enough holy power.’
I felt that I still had a long way to grow.
‘Probably, in its current state, it can’t even win against a really talented Goddess.’

no.
There was no need to go to a truly skilled deity.
In the end, even after using the incarnation, he was miserably defeated by me… … .
Even the evil spirits would be at a level where I could take my life if they came to me.
‘Is it time to focus on divinity?’
divinity, faith, mythology.
I realized that it was my turn to raise my status as a godhead in earnest.
Perhaps, from now on, I will have to find out enough about the faith and mythology that I did not care about.
Only then will you grow enough to be able to compete with the Godheads.
but… … .
“Time is over.”
「The divine power ‘Apotheosis’ is deactivated and cannot be reused for 8 hours.」
That too is something to think about later.
“… … It would be right to deal with this first.”
[ Big, big… … . shit… … . Why did things turn out like this… … . ]
“Why is it like this? You guys first quarreled with me, so it happened like this.”
[ Bullshit. Without you, this wouldn’t have happened. You are a being that shouldn’t have existed. ]
“Haven’t you figured out the subject yet?”
[This nonsense Phil… … ! ]
Before the clumsy observer could even finish his words, I immediately struck the Blood Heaven Demon Sword into his body.
Kaaang!
[Turn it off! ]
“Even in the incarnated form, I feel the pain as it is.”
[ … … Even if I’m an enemy, it’s right to be polite to me, a godhead. ]
“Seeing that the tip of the tongue is long, it seems that the incarnation can’t be summoned right away without any conditions.”
[ … … . ]
“What kind of confidence do you have to talk to me like that?”
The god of clumsy observation closed his mouth, as if he had finally realized that the situation was against him.
[ … … Right. Did all the other deities besides me suffer? And you have something you want from me. ]
Surprisingly, the god of clumsy observation seemed to have accurately understood my intentions.
[Challenger Han Seong-yoon. what is the purpose what do you want from me ]
His tone, which had been overheated until a few seconds ago, had calmed down before he knew it.
Even before, he was the most rational of the three deities.
With that in mind, perhaps this is his true personality.
‘I guess it’s because I’ve been so excited that I haven’t calmed down.’
I said with a quiet smile.
“I want to know a few questions and about this labyrinth contest.”
[ … … Right. Since he is a candidate for the top, he must want to know the truth. understood. But you know you can’t figure it all out. ]
“I know.”
[That’s it. Instead, there are things I want to trade. can you listen ]
“I can’t listen to you telling me not to harm the incarnation.”
[It’s not like that. It’s just that, as long as I don’t host you later, do no harm to me. ]
“… … .”
[If I harm you instead, I will pay the price neatly. ]
“I like the condition of paying the price. Even if you say that, there is no way to trade with each other.”
[Don’t worry about that. ]
After that, a system message suddenly appeared in my field of vision.
“The god of clumsy observation swears by his divinity that he will keep the deal with challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
“If the god of clumsy observation violates this, the Tower of Trials will immediately retrieve the divinity with the oath engraved on it.”
I never thought the Tower of Trials would provide such a function.
‘Thanks to the Tower’s ability to trade, the need for annoying lies is gone.’
As I stared blankly at the system message, the clumsy god of observation spoke calmly.
[I swear on my divinity that I will never lie. ]
“… … Did the tower have a system like this? okay. Then I will ask you directly.”
[I hope. ]
“First, I need to tell you about the tower.”
I immediately asked him about the tower.
but… … .
[ I do not know. ]
Most of what came back was a consistent answer that they didn’t know, so there wasn’t much to know.
“What the heck do you know about the tower?”
[ I only know about basic information. It wasn’t long before I became a godhead. So, there is a lot of information you know. ]
“In a word, it’s lame and there’s no information to tell you.”
[ … … . ]
“Then let’s move on. I want to know about the contest.”
[Is it about the giant tree labyrinth itself? ]
“okay.”
[ … … The Giant Tree Labyrinth is an event venue made by remodeling the World Tree. And it was the Tower of Trials that remodeled the giant tree labyrinth. ]
“hmm.”
[ After the tower remodeled the giant tree labyrinth, it sent an invitation to the deities. It was an invitation to host a competition of the gods. ]
“Did it go that way?”
[The invited deity could choose the difficulty level of the labyrinth, place the altar, and make the challenger a believer. Through that point, the winner of the competition was decided. ]
“Tell me more.”
[The winner is determined by which godhead the challenger who reached the deepest part of the labyrinth is. ]
“As you think, the winner is decided.”
This was information that could be guessed to some extent.
It was worth it.
Until now, there were many devices in the labyrinth that could openly receive grace from the gods.
I touched my chin for a moment, then narrowed my eyes.
“But I heard that there are competition rewards other than that.”
The Dark God and the Demon God decided to give me the reward obtained from the giant tree labyrinth.
So, I already knew there were other rewards.
I just don’t know what its contents are.
When I asked about it, I got an answer right away.
[That is not so important. What I received as a basic participation reward is a small authority. ]
“authority?”
[ One of the tower’s administrator privileges is randomly granted and can be used. ]
“I think I know what it is.”
The clumsy god of observation had a history of using the Forced Escape Authority.
He escaped from <Endless Abyss>, the exclusive power of an apostle, and was discovered by me right after that and was captured like this, so I couldn’t help but notice.
‘Then I can receive two of the tower’s administrator privileges.’
In fact, I asked more questions with my eyes shining, but there was no result.
[I don’t know much more than that. These are things that cannot be known unless it is an ancient deity. ]
Of course, this was enough information gathering, so there was nothing to be greatly disappointed with.
I nodded and then opened my mouth again.
“All right then. Now I want to know about the Dark God. Tell me what you know.”
[ … … You are an ancient deity. dark god. I don’t know too much either. We only know that it is one of the seven ancient deities that existed in the beginning. ]
“Isn’t there some information you’re hiding?”
[There is no such thing. In the first place, aren’t you a colleague with that ancient godhead fanatic? Then why don’t you ask the fanatic? ]
“… … .”
I didn’t really think of him as a colleague, so I let go of that.
But since he said he didn’t know about the Dark God, there was nothing to ask.
“Then the deal is now over.”
Kwajik… … !
Right away, he wrapped his Pacheon skill on the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and threw it down at the clumsy God of Observation, and he squinted his eyes.
[ … … It was an experience I didn’t want to go through twice. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. I hope we never run into each other later. ]
After those words, the incarnation of the god of clumsy observation disappeared with the scarlet halo fading.
and… … .
「The spirit piece ‘■■■[3/3]’ has been absorbed.」
「Skill increases by 0%.」
All the pieces of the spirit have been completed.
「The spirit piece ‘■■■ [3/3]’ has satisfied the required number of charges.”
「You can select and acquire a latent divinity by consuming the spirit fragment ‘■■■ [3/3]’.”
「Currently, the potential divinities that can be acquired are <Deterioration>, <Observation>, and <Misery>.
「※ At this time, the potential divinity that was not selected will not appear as an option later.」
Another ridiculous crazy reward appeared.
***
―Is it possible to obtain divinity, which can only be obtained through hundreds of years of training, as easily as eating cookies?
As soon as he saw the message that he could acquire latent divinity, Dam Chun-wu laughed.
―If the gods saw this crazy sight, they would cry… … .
To that, I quietly nodded my head in agreement.
‘Necromancy.’
It is a unique characteristic that I first learned after entering the tower.
‘This is also something heterogeneous.’
It felt as if this unique trait was designed to rise to the top of every food chain.
I continued to think with my eyes wide open.
It was because he remembered what the demon had told him.
‘The demon said that the tower wants an omnipotent god… … .’
I had a sudden thought.
This necromancy’s unique trait is like a cheat key that the tower specially arranged for me.
Of course, it was just speculation, so it wasn’t very reliable, but… … .
If the Demon God hadn’t lied to me, it would have been a plausible guess.
Necromancy has the potential to transcend even gods.
“It’s fun.”
I didn’t know what the tower was trying to achieve by creating a being that transcended the gods, but I wasn’t worried.
That would be too… … .
“Selection complete.”
「Divinity <Observation> is replaced with potential.」
If you become an absolute predator at the end of the food chain, you won’t be able to ignore the tower.
Hard… … !
A scarlet divinity formed in his heart, and was soon consumed by the transcendent divinity.
It is a process that has been experienced before.
‘The divinity of observation must have become a potential divinity.’
As I was satisfied with that, an additional system message appeared.
“The upper section will open little by little.”
It was only this one line, but I somehow understood what it meant.
“Heavenly Demon’s Body… … .”
There was a change in the special authority called the Heavenly Demon Regiment, which was obtained after defeating the Heavenly Demon on the 17th floor.
Of course, it doesn’t seem like a significant change… … .
Seeing how he reacted to the creation of a latent divinity, I was a little excited.
It was worth it.
Responding to divinity means that you can learn additional abilities related to divinity when the upper level battle is opened.
‘Could it be that if I have more latent divinities, will the upper level battle be fully opened?’
Even so, I can’t open the guild hall right away, so I can only hope for later.
It was then.
– Han Seong-yoon.
Suddenly, Dam Chun-wu called me with a serious voice.
―Previously, I said that the god of darkness would want to make you an apostle.
“It was.”
—… … It’s only now that I can say it. The dark god is not a very good deity.
“What else… … .”
―Divinity symbolizes everything to the Godhead. Darkness is the finale that swallows everything.
“Is it the end?”
– Nothing is permanent in this world. There is an end to everything. And it is the god of darkness who presides over the end.
“… … .”
―If light exists, that light will eventually run out of value and bring darkness. The Dark God is very threatening in that respect.
Dam Chun-wu continued his words slowly.
―The Dark God told you that he wanted to see the moment when everything ended.
“… … .”
―That means that your existence can bring about the end of the tower. At that time, the Dark God will truly feel joy.
“So what do you want to say?”
―It means to prepare for the fact that she will swallow you in the end. Darkness comes when you can no longer afford to shine.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
I laughed at him.
“I’m not going to get stabbed in the back by anyone. You’ve been watching me all this time, so you know that, don’t you?”
Good enough advice, but… … .
“If they aim at me in the end, it is the God of Darkness who will be devoured. Just like it always has been.”
I wasn’t stupid enough to die so absurdly.
—… … Right. If that’s your way, I agree. There’s no need to worry about those who walk the path.
Dam Chun-wu said that as if he was relieved, and soon became quiet.
In response, I moved my body and collected all the [Grail Fragments] from each faction that had fallen everywhere.
「You have obtained the [Holy Grail Fragment] of the degraded faction.」
「Obtained [Holy Grail Fragment] from Observation Camp.」
“You have obtained the [Holy Grail Fragment] of the miserable faction.”
And the moment the collection of the [Grail Fragments] ended.
「Alia, the 4th-class apostle, deactivates the Apostle exclusive power <Endless Abyss>.」
Chizuzu.
A portal opened in the sky, and Arya, carrying Katherine Bennett on her back, landed lightly through it, her gray hair flying.
She was crying as if she was about to burst into tears.
Should I say it’s like a puppy that makes mistakes and notices its owner?
Arya licked her lips, but soon lowered her head as if she had no face.
“… … Ha, Sungyoon Han. sorry. I made a mistake because I missed the news. I have no face to see.”
I immediately shook my head.
“No way. Because I caught the god of clumsy observation.”
At that, Arya looked surprised and raised her eyes like a rabbit… … .
“… … iced coffee. Indeed, you are the one favored by the dark. It is a skill that is different from other things.”
After that, he started pouring all sorts of compliments on me with his hazy eyes.
But I had no intention of hearing that compliment all the time.
“Now that I think about it, I think the Dark God said he had something to give me.”
As soon as I put the information I heard from the clumsy god of deterioration into my mouth, a reaction arose.
“That’s right. hold me for a while I will give you the grace of God.”
Aria then put Katherine Bennet down and immediately grabbed my hands and wrapped them carefully around them.
「Acquisition of exclusive authority #B-714[Move area].」
「It becomes possible to move to the manager area from anywhere.」
「As long as you know the name of the manager, there is no restriction on movement.」
What was delivered to me was an unexpected authority.
‘Anyone who is a manager can move to the manager’s area?’
Its value really varies depending on its use.
Being able to move to the manager’s area from anywhere means that it can be used even within trials.
That is, in a situation on the verge of death, you can always escape to the manager’s area.
Even if it’s not that, it must be an ability that can be used in its own way.
‘Looks like I got something good.’
As I was satisfied with that, I heard a strangely heated laugh from Arya.
“Haaa… … . this… … , This is the warmth of the beloved… … .”
It made me look like I was obsessed with God, so I immediately withdrew my hand in fright.
swish
“ah… … .”
“Now that the transfer of authority is complete, there is no need to lend a hand.”
“Ugh… … . That’s right… … .”
“Now then, let’s go collect the [Grail Fragments] from the other camps.”
Now, if you acquire 4 more [Holy Grail Pieces], you can obtain [Holy Grail].
Therefore, it would be right to move now… … .
“Ah, in that case, fill it with these.”
Arya immediately smiled and took something out of her robe pocket.
that… … .
“Knowing this, I came to Han Seong-yoon and collected them bit by bit.”
「You have obtained the Dark Camp’s [Grail Fragment].」
“You have obtained the [Holy Grail Fragment] of the Nature Camp.”
“You have obtained the [Grail Fragment] of the Remnant camp.”
「You have obtained the [Grail Fragment] of the demon camp.」
They were [Grail Fragments] that could only be obtained by driving the other faction to ruin.
***
“Time is over.”
“The 7th floor trial is over, and the faction that has two or more [Grail Fragments] gets permission to go down to the 8th floor.”
「※The [Holy Grail] will be given to the [God’s Representative] in the faction that has obtained 10 or more [Grail Fragments].”
Time passed and soon the end of the ordeal was approaching.
「Condition satisfied.」
“The [Holy Grail Fragment] of challenger Han Seong-yoon becomes the [Holy Grail].”
Charlere!
All the [Grail Fragments] collected so far spread out in the air, and soon they stuck together to form a small drinking cup.
“Holy Grail”
「Rating: SS+」
“The Holy Grail exclusively for the labyrinth obtained by satisfying special conditions on the 7th floor of the Giant Tree Labyrinth [Holy Land].”
“An item that proves that [Grail Fragments] were stolen from more than 10 deity factions.”
“You can activate the exclusive effect ‘Skip [1/1]’ by injecting magical energy into the Holy Grail.”
「When the exclusive effect ‘skip layer [1/1]’ is activated, layers are skipped up to the final layer of the labyrinth.”
“This means that you don’t have to go through the trials in the giant tree labyrinth [8th floor] and [9th floor] at all.”
Finally, he acquired the authority to challenge the final layer of the labyrinth.
and… … .
「※If you want to skip the layer, enter the [Labyrinth Temple] before moving to the final layer.」
「※ In the [Labyrinth Shrine], you can face all the divine beings who participated in the giant tree labyrinth event.”
Even the opportunity to face the gods in person.
