215. The usurper (3)
「The achievement ‘Regressor’ has been achieved.」
「The skill ‘Time Control Resistance (B+)’ is created.」
Thoughts come in rapid succession in an instant.
usurper.
The newly born Godhead looked at me and immediately saw through my identity, saying that I was a ‘challenger from the tower’.
That fact came very close.
It was worth it.
If the usurper is a deity who knows me, then the situation is really at its worst.
‘… … I thought I would be able to eat the experience of fighting the godhead every day.’
Originally, I tried to weaken the deity to be born on the 18th floor stage through faith robbery.
The reason why I didn’t deal with the divinity right away was because I was aiming for this weakening.
A deity born without sufficient nourishment of faith would be extremely weak.
So I thought I could use that to build up the experience of killing a god without too much difficulty.
‘Was it a mistake?’
However, the usurper destroyed the world as soon as he was born and spoke of my identity.
Knowing that means that he could be a godhead from outside the 18th floor stage.
If this hypothesis is correct, it is highly probable that the power of the usurper has not weakened so much.
Looking around at the world that had returned before the collapse, I clicked my tongue and lamented.
“There are limits to eating raw.”
—… … What kind of bullshit is that again?
At that time, Damcheonwu suddenly spoke in a tone that he couldn’t understand.
―They boasted that they could deal with the godhead. I don’t know what the sudden introspection is.
“… … .”
-?
“… … ha.”
– What, what is it? What is that pitiful face? What is the reason for seeing it that way!
“it’s nothing.”
Damcheonwu doesn’t seem to know that time was rewinded after the world was destroyed… … .
I don’t have time, so I didn’t want to explain it.
I don’t think it will help that much.
Instead, I immediately looked up and looked at the gray orb in the sky.
The shell of the gray sphere was still slowly opening.
Thinking that I might be able to correct my mistake, I immediately activated my authority.
「The authority skill ‘Steel Wings’ is activated.」
Cheer up… … !
The steel wings unfolded in an instant, and as soon as I hit the ground, my body soared into the air.
Even that, at a speed that could close the distance to the gray sphere in the blink of an eye.
And at the same time, he activated a skill he hadn’t used for a long time.
「The skill ‘Focus on Combat’ is activated.」
「The user’s concentration increases tenfold.」
The flow of time is infinitely slow.
It was worth it.
The level of concentration raised by the combat concentration skill is incomparable to that of the previous one.
Even as his physical ability increased and his original concentration increased, his skill efficiency also increased like crazy.
「The mastery of the skill ‘Focus on Combat (A+)’ has reached 100%.」
「The level of the skill ‘Focus on Combat (A+)’ has risen by one level.」
‘nice.’
Once again, I was delighted with the increase in concentration caused by skill growth.
Now, with this, I can use all my skills with great care.
Satisfied with that, he activated his skills in succession.
「Authority ‘Blood Thousand Heart’ is activated.」
「The skill ‘Blood Seeker’ is activated.」
Red steam-like energy surged from all over the body, and the seeker of fresh blood wrapped around the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Breaking Sword.
and.
「Activate the <Engraving Skill: Strengthen Blood (C+)> of the True Blood Demon Sword.」
「Activate True Blood Demon Sword’s <Imprint Skill: Strengthen Intention (B+)>… … .」
「Activate the <Engraving Skill: Divine Amplification (B+)> of the True Blood Demon Sword… … .」
Hwaaak!
Strengthening the blood, strengthening the will, and amplifying the divinity overlapped over and over again, so the body was full of strength.
After using all the normal skills without exception, the elation was now unbearably strong.
But it’s still not over.
「Authority ‘Sword Spirit Strength 劍气成罡’ is strongly activated.」
Sword steel (劍罡).
The skill that touched the extreme of martial arts learned through the decisive battle with the Heavenly Demon shines and is engraved on the twin swords.
「The skill ‘Pacheon 破天’ is activated.」
「The limit on what can be broken disappears.」
In addition, as if assisting the sword river through the Pacheon skill, the power of chaos flowed like a wave through the sword body.

Apotheosis is optimized for short-term battles, so I didn’t use it right away… … .
In this state, even if you meet a strong enemy like a heavenly horse, you can reap an easy victory.
Now that most of the cards in hand have been removed, it is time to use the appropriate technique for this situation.
「The exclusive effect of the power skill skill ‘Soul Source Demonic Sword’, ‘Doubling’ is activated.」
「Consumes holy power to increase power skill power by [5].」
‘White Sword Guancheon.’
It was a skill I hadn’t used much since I learned it from Baekhak Geomseon.
It was worth it.
This White Sword Guanchun’s herbivore is a martial art optimized for defense penetration.
However, there is probably no skill as good as this to penetrate the source of the godhead like the gray orb.
At that, without hesitation, I flew without hesitation, maintaining my strength, and stabbed the gray sphere with my twin swords reversed.
Quadd deed—!
And at the same time, the mana in his body drained out to an absurd extent.
Most of them were consumed by the power of forceful alteration of the law of swordsmanship and the forceful destruction effect of the Pacheon skill.
Even so, the gray orb is unblemished… … .
Even if he didn’t use apotheosis, he was dumbfounded now.
“Kuh… … !”
moon moon… … .
The hands holding the twin swords trembled as they could not properly transmit power to the gray orb.
It’s been a while.
Even if you draw all your strength, you can’t break through the defense.
It was a sense of helplessness that reminded me of the situation before gaining the godhood.
But I had no intention of giving up.
‘If the god of usurpation comes out and uses divinity <Destruction> again, then it will really be the worst situation.’
Many people on this planet were worshiping me, and thanks to that, my divine power was greatly enhanced.
Thanks to the advantage of worship, I was able to think about fighting a battle with a godhead.
However, if the planet collapses, you have to go into battle losing all the benefits of divine enhancement.
I couldn’t leave it like that.
「The authority ‘Quick Magical Recharge’ is strongly activated.」
Rapid energy recharge.
As he climbed the tower, the power sponsored by one of the managers was activated, and his mana rose like a waterfall.
He was reluctant to use it because of a defect that damaged the magic circuit itself… … .
I wasn’t in a position to cover cold or hot rice.
He raised the power of rapid magic recharge as much as possible to cover the magical power consumed by sword and impeachment skills.
and.
Aaaaaaaang!
Due to the change in the law of the sword and the forced destruction of Pacheon, the shield of the gray sphere was pierced.
It’s also very miserable.
“Accomplishment ‘Destroying the Source of Divinity’ has been achieved.”
「Magic power increases by 10.」
「Accomplished the achievement ‘The Magic of the Ocean’.」
「Magic power increases by 5.」
「The achievement ‘Magical Gluttony’ has been achieved.」
“Magic power increases by 1.”
“… … The reward is just fine.”
Thanks to the increase in magic ability by +16, I felt that my strength had returned.
Should it be an unexpected reward?
I didn’t know that such a good achievement could be achieved just by breaking the defense of the source of godhood.
There was even growth of items.
「Breaking Heaven Sword destroys things that are difficult to break, and the rank grows to S-class (25,000/25,000).」
“The grade value reaches the point where it can grow, and the item grows from S-rank to S-rank.”
The breaking sword, which had raised its level before entering the giant tree labyrinth, had grown at once.
The previous level of the breaking sword was less than 10,000, so it could be said to be a tremendous growth.
But there was no time to feel pleasure.
self.
Because the destroyed part of the gray sphere was about to be restored.
In response, I fell into the open space of the gray sphere right before the restoration was completed.
「You have entered the sacred realm <Usnurture>.」
and… … .
[It’s been a while since I met a very interesting being. ]
It was then.
[Should I say nice to meet you? ]
A young man with light blue hair was sitting on an old chair, looking at me.
“The god of usurpation looks at you and smiles.”
He looked at me and let out a flawless smile.
[ A dirty hound selected by the top. ]
… … That’s the purest smile ever.
***
The sacred realm <Usurpation> was quite messy.
Big and small mechanical parts floating around in the air.
Books with different outward appearances were spread out randomly and kept their seats.
It was foreign to the realm of God.
[Isn’t that a pretty sight for guests to see? ]
At that time, the usurper sat on the chair and said with a grin.
[I can’t help it. I usually collect whatever I want. So the room is always messy. ]
He talked about things he didn’t even care about.
[Still, these are all my pride. Bringing numerous superpowers and destroying countless machines. Those symbols are these. ]
“… … .”
[ Isn’t it cool? These books are abilities received from people with abilities, and machine parts are symbols of the result of usurping civilizations in the world. ]
“I am not interested.”
[ this. That’s a fair word. ]
I refuse useless conversation.
I didn’t even want to know what the books and mechanical parts in the divine realm <Usnurture> symbolize.
Instead, I narrowed my eyes and asked him.
That’s the question I’ve been most curious about so far.
“Do you know about me?”
[To some extent. That he came from a place called the tower, and that he was an existence capable of killing a godhead. And that your purpose is to kill me. ]
“… … .”
[Oh, and what I learned more about is that you have the power to turn back time? ]
“As expected, I remembered before returning.”
I clicked my tongue at that.
The usurper was the one who obtained the godhood.
In fact, I expected that even if time went back, I would be aware of this to some extent.
But when I checked it myself, I didn’t feel very good.
One of the benefits of time regression is gone.
Still, I found out something.
‘Even though I can remember the time before the regression, I can’t seem to stop the regression at all.’
It is still the same that this death return is a usable ability.
The real value of this ability is to turn back the time of the world.
Not being able to remember the world before returning was just an added benefit.
As I was thinking that, the words of the usurper flowed into my ears.
[ surprised. I wish I could turn back time I’ve seen things like time slowdown, but this was the first time. ]
He made an exaggerated gesture as if he was surprised, but there was no emotion in his eyes.
It was so foreign that I squinted my eyes.
It’s because I felt like I was looking at an inanimate object with no emotions.
But instead of immediately revealing my displeasure, I decided to season it a little more.
“If you knew about the tower, you would have seen it quite often.”
and.
[ oh. Is it common to see things like that in the tower? I envy you. You must have lived in a fun place. ]
「The skill ‘Fire Dragon’s Eye’ detects that there is no lie in the opponent’s words.”
After confirming that the words were true with the Hwaryong’s eyes, I laughed at the absurdity.
“You don’t know much about the tower, do you?”
He’s definitely an alien guy.
TOP doesn’t know much, but how much do you know about me?
It was as if the chicken knew about it, but did not know the existence of eggs or chicks at all.
As I became wary of the incongruity of such information, the usurper continued.
[ yes. I’ve never been out of this world So I don’t know much about you either. ]
「The skill ‘Fire Dragon’s Eye’ detects that there is no lie in the opponent’s words.”
I thought with my mouth shut.
Saying that I have never escaped from the world of this 18th floor stage was a suggestion of another possibility.
Perhaps this 18th floor stage is not a world reproduced by the tower, but a real world.
I was simply transported to that world by the tower.
So, the god of usurpation must have true power, not the power reproduced by the tower.
‘The fact that he wasn’t greatly weakened even though his faith was robbed was because it was real, not fake.’
Thinking about it made me feel as if the puzzle had been put together to some extent.
Of course, there is still a piece of the puzzle that has not been put together: ‘Then how do you know about the tower and me’… … .
Even that was quickly resolved.
[It’s just that I was tipped off a little about you and the tower by someone in a high place. ]
That would be too… … .
[They say it’s the god of despair, fall, and madness… … , do you want to know? ]
The name that came out of the usurper’s mouth was something I knew.
***
A god of despair, fall, and madness… … .
To be honest, when I first heard the name, my head was confused.
I couldn’t understand why that name came from the final boss on the 18th floor stage.
However, the questions have been resolved.
“… … .”
The world on this 18th floor stage is a real place.
The god of usurpation heard information from the god of despair, fall, and madness.
Thinking about it, I no longer questioned it.
no.
Far from doubting it, I was now convinced.
That the god of despair, fall, and madness still has enmity against me, and if I don’t grow strong enough while climbing the tower, I’ll be killed by him.
I realized that fact as if it was engraved in my brain.
It seemed that the opponent was also similar.
[Looking at the reaction, it seems that you know about the monster. ]
And at that moment, there was something like a strange longing in the eyes of the usurper.
It was different from the skin-like behaviors that had been shown without emotion and exaggerated gestures until now.
And the emotion in his eyes was one I knew well.
It was worth it.
[It’s been a while since I started to feel excited. ]
Greed is one of the driving forces that have brought me to this position.
[I feel like I found an expansion pack for a retro game at a junkyard. ]
Sssss!
Divinity dripped thickly from the usurper’s body, and soon his eyes began to glow red.
The flow in the air in the divine realm <Usurpation> was wildly changed by the deepest greed.
[That monstrous god said. You have the potential to obliterate all gods. So that means I have to deal with you. ]
The usurper waved his light blue hair and said.
[Even that monster said that it had to deal with you, so the potential of your power must be enormous. ]
The body of the usurper who said that was expressed as if a light of hundreds of colors were mixed.
All the abilities that had been stolen through the power of usurpation were activated.
[And if I can kill you and have your power, I will be able to surpass that monstrous god. ]
He reached out his dirty hand and spoke.
[Really… … ! I want to get your power quickly, my heart is burning… … ! ]
Coo-gu-gu-!
I twisted my mouth at the movement of truly overwhelming force.
“okay?”
Now that we’ve figured out what we want to know about each other, I think they’re trying to kill me… … .
“It’s a coincidence.”
It wasn’t that different for me either.
「The divine authority ‘Apotheosis’ is activated.」
「It becomes possible to exercise divine authority according to the potential divinity.」
「The potential divinities are <Transcendence>, <Death>, <Immortality>, <Reverse Heaven>, <Observation>.”
Whoa… … !
[I had the same thoughts as you. ]
Before I knew it, I continued to speak with a brilliant golden divinity wrapped around my body.
[God of usurpation. ]
Even with a very deep smile.
[How many divinities do you have? ]
really… … .
[The more things you can have, the better. ]
It’s been a long time since I’ve been feeling the anticipation.
