200. Ancient Godhead (2)
labyrinth temple.
When I first saw the description on the Holy Grail, I had no idea what kind of place it was.
It was worth it.
A place where all the deities who participated in the Giant Tree Labyrinth event gather.
Why on earth does this exist and why can a challenger go to such a place?
I couldn’t understand the meaning of its existence at all.
But it seemed like there was no need to think about it anymore.
「※ Move to the [Labyrinth Temple] before the layer skip proceeds to the final layer of the labyrinth.」
In the blink of an eye, the space changed.
To a place with an incredibly large audience in a space-like setting.
And I was in a position where I could look down from the tall audience.
I didn’t like it very much.
Only then is it like a product put on an auction house.
However, it was not possible to immediately leave the place and move to another place.
That would be too… … .
―What the hell is that… … !?
It was because there were already passengers to move to the spectators.
Some were like spirits of flame, others were clowns with heavy make-up, and others were pale like vampires.
The audience seems to have no such thing as consistency, but… … .
It really wasn’t like that.
The beings in the stands had only one thing in common.
as soon as… … .
―All of these many people are gods… … ?
“The god of play is looking at the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
“Let the cool-headed god look at the challenger Han Seong-yoon… … .」
“The god of flame wishes challenger Han Seong-yoon… … .」
All those sitting in the audience have individual divinities.
That’s huge too.
gugg… … !
At the same time as numerous system messages came to my mind, I felt a tremendous amount of pressure on my body.
It was a feeling I knew immediately.
‘It’s the unique pressure you feel when facing God.’
Should I say that the gaze of the gods, which I felt every time I climbed the floor, became several times stronger?
Just the mere focus on it shakes my mind greatly.
In fact, the mana within the body is greatly shaken and even trying to flow backwards… … .
Quite a few humans would have exploded to death as soon as they arrived at this place.
Surely.
“… … .”
At that, I was silent.
‘It’s on a higher level than I thought.’
Originally, I thought that there wouldn’t be many high-ranking deities in the [Labyrinth Temple].
It was thought that various gods who were clumsy or clumsy in the spirit itself would form the majority.
But it wasn’t.
Most of the godheads had completed divinities, and their level was unmatched even compared to the gods of battle.
‘Surprisingly surprising.’
Originally, if there were a lot of miscellaneous gods, I thought that they would make a mess to acquire the spirit fragments, but… … .
‘There weren’t as many gods as I thought.’
The situation was not good in many ways to move without countermeasures, so I had to buy myself first.
“The clumsy god of deterioration casts a jealous gaze on the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
“The false god of misery gnashing his teeth at challenger Han Seong-yoon is furious.”
「The clumsy god of observation feels a little afraid of the challenger Han Seong-yoon.」
“The god of battle reveals a strong intent to kill the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
Of course, there are those who give a bad look… … .
Do you know that it is foolish to take revenge in the presence of all the gods?
The deities who revealed their negative emotions to me in the system message did not move hastily.
only… … .
“The god of worship is beginning to feel a sense of crisis at the existence of the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
“The God of Freedom is very alert to the growth rate of challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
“The god of regret has a strong intent to kill the latent god of challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
Even though they did not move, the deities did not stop sending messages.
As if to warn me.
But the seemingly endless feast of system messages didn’t last too long.
[ quietly. ]
The moment a voice containing the divinity of light resounded.
The endless system messages subsided.
[Now, let’s stop showing ugliness and decide. Isn’t that why everyone gathered at the [Labyrinth Temple]? ]
A system message I hadn’t seen before came to mind.

[Let challenger Han Seong-yoon decide if he really deserves to know the truth. ]
「Voting for the deities in the [Labyrinth Temple] begins.」
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon is not eligible to vote because she is not qualified.」
and… … .
「Determine ‘yes’ or ‘against’ whether the challenger Han Seong-yoon is qualified to know the ‘truth of the tower’.”
An unexpected situation has occurred.
***
Top truth.
It’s information that there was no way to know even though I wanted to know so far… … .
‘Are you going to decide whether or not to announce this by voting?’
I couldn’t understand why the gods were trying to tell them the truth about the tower.
Also, why is it decided by voting?
Even the tower didn’t try to tell me what he wanted.
But in a place where the tower’s influence is strong, such as the giant tree’s labyrinth, you’re allowed to tell the truth?
It seemed like my brain was getting complicated.
but… … .
“The voting is over.”
「81 for, 77 against.」
「It has been concluded that challenger Han Seong-yoon is well qualified to know about the ‘Truth of the Tower’.」
Aside from the complicated state of mind, the voting was completed quickly.
[This is the end. ]
It was then.
[Challenger Han Seong-yoon. You can be proud of yourself. There aren’t many cases where the gods have acknowledged a challenger like this. ]
Hearing the voice that contained the divinity of light, I raised my head and looked at the source of the voice.
Choi Sang-seok (最上席).
Unlike the spectator seats lined with numerous gods, only seven deities were seated.
A voice was heard coming from the shape of light in the center.
[Even the ancient deities here acknowledged your existence. ]
I instinctively realized the indescribably high divinity.
[Do you know what this means? ]
That these seven deities, seated in the top seat, have power that can never be surpassed.
I opened my mouth and kept my tension.
“… … I do not know. In the first place, I don’t even know what an ancient deity is.”
[ … … Oh, I guess that’s what it looks like. You don’t know much because your information is being controlled by the Tower. ]
“… … .”
[It’s not a difficult concept. The Ancient Godhead is literally a Godhead that has existed since ancient times. To put it simply, it is a mighty deity that has accumulated power for a long time among deities. ]
“Is that so.”
I guessed.
Seeing the astonished people claiming to be ancient deities, it seemed that they were receiving special treatment among the deities.
Through that point, it was not difficult to see that those who were called ancient gods had built up a high level of power.
It was only by hearing the answer from a god with the divinity of light that my guess turned into certainty.
It feels like the information I heard from Dam Chun-woo has been added to the flesh.
[Ah, by the way, I am the god of light, an ancient deity. He’s not a well-known god, so you’ve probably never heard of him. ]
I thought so.
‘Since he has the divinity of light, he must also be the god of light.’
After nodding his head, the god of light continued speaking in a gentle voice.
[This is where most of the ancient deities gathered, so there must be some faces you know. ]
“That’s right.”
As he said, there were two faces he knew among the seven deities.
as soon as… … .
[Whoops. He thought he had already forgotten me and was almost disappointed. hey I’m glad you didn’t get hurt. ]
[Hahaha—! Sungyoon Han! The ordeal was fun to watch! The contract was thoroughly fulfilled! Rewards will be given soon! ]
It was a dark god and a demon.
The dark god, wearing a robe, waved his hand with a quiet smile… … .
The demon laughed loudly to the point of frivolity and slammed the table in the top seat excitedly.
I didn’t know of any other ancient deities, and they didn’t seem to be very interested in me.
「The Dragon God’s eyes twinkle as she looks at challenger Han Seong-yoon!」
「The dragon god proposes an apostleship to challenger Han Seong-yoon!」
“The dragon god proposes an apostleship to challenger Han Seong-yoon… … !”
“The dragon god offered the apostleship to challenger Han Seong-yoon… … !”
[ Heir! you know me too! Why am I pretending not to know… … ! ]
… … That is, except for the dragon god who out of the blue screams to see him too.
Following the clear but resonant voice, I turned my eyes and saw a beauty.
The wide eyes that resemble reptiles, the curved horns on the head, and even the exposed scales around the neck… … .
I realized that it was the Dragon God.
Originally, it was assumed that the dragon god would be a god in the form of a giant dragon… … .
‘You look completely different from what I thought… … ?’
Surprisingly, he has a human-like appearance, so it felt fresh.
Of course, that was for a while.
[I understand that he built a lot of relationships with ancient deities. I think it would be better to solve the rounds later. ]
As soon as the topic was changed to the tone that the god of light was in trouble, the ancient deities became quiet.
[ … … tooth. I still haven’t had a proper conversation with the heir. Why are you doing this on my turn? ]
Of course, the dragon god grumbled a bit, but even that didn’t last very long, and soon silence came.
The god of light spoke to him in a solemn voice.
[Challenger Han Seong-yoon. ]
“… … yes.”
[Do you know what the tower wants from you? ]
“… … Becoming a god, isn’t it?”
[ yes. to become a god. That’s what the Tower wants from a challenger. However, I expect a higher level from a candidate chosen by the tower like you. ]
“… … .”
[Didn’t you know this after hearing it from a demon? ]
“… … Aren’t you hoping for someone who transcends omniscience and omnipotence?”
[Then let’s ask now. Why do you think the tower wants a Transcendentalist? ]
“I do not know. There are no clues to know. So, isn’t that why you decided to tell me the ‘truth of the tower’?”
The god of light responded with a shimmering light as if he was interested.
[ Hoo. okay. That’s right too. … … If so, let me know. The reason why the tower wants a transcendental person. ]
and… … .
[There is only one thing the Tower wants from the transcendent. ]
The moment the god of light spoke.
[To annihilate all deities without leaving a single one. ]
I was shocked with my eyes wide open.
[That’s why the tower makes you grow. ]
***
annihilation of divine beings.
As soon as I heard that, I realized why the deities were so hostile to me.
‘… … In a word, since they are beings that have the potential to annihilate them, did they try to nip them in the bud?’
It was worth it.
The tower intends to raise me to become a transcendent and destroy all the deities… … .
It must have been an attempt to kill me in the middle of my growth so that the tower could never fulfill its purpose.
It feels like all the puzzles are fitting together.
‘shit… … .’
Even after entering the [Labyrinth Temple], I understood that numerous deities sent hostile messages to me.
To the deities, I must have felt like a potential strong enemy.
It was not strange to be vigilant, even to have murderous intentions.
It was at this point that an alarm bell went off in my head.
The place where all the deities in the labyrinth gather.
And, according to the newly discovered truth, I am no different from the natural enemy of the gods.
Thinking about that, I was able to realize how dangerous I was exposed to.
“… … .”
Indeed, can I survive in this place?
