235. Common area on the 21st floor (3)
Compensation Elevation Rights.
With the authority previously received from the God of Proof in the Giant Tree Labyrinth, this could increase the level of rewards received in the Tower.
It’s an exclusive privilege that is so huge that anyone would want to have it… … .
Every time I climbed the tower and felt the usefulness of the right to increase the reward, I felt greatly disappointed.
It was worth it.
Unlike the original, my right to increase my reward doesn’t give out all of my original power.
‘It can be said that I received only half of the authority to increase the compensation.’
In the past, the god of proof handed over the authority to increase the reward, which was only half the price, and said.
Later, visit the Temple of Proof in the common area on the 21st floor.
At that time, I will upgrade the authority to increase the reward and tell you what you want.
So, ever since I returned to the tower, I have been breaking through the levels without a break.
‘A lot of things happened, but in terms of time, not so much.’
In fact, it could be said that because of this, he climbed the tower as quickly as possible.
The authority to increase the reward, which multiplied the growth rate, was more important than anything else.
Because I had so many enemies inside and outside the tower, I didn’t have much time.
In order to survive against powerful enemies that would come unexpectedly, he had to become stronger than he is now.
and… … .
“Now I can complete the authority to increase the reward.”
I thought as I looked at the white-tinted architecture seen over the rugged meadow.
“You have entered the 21st floor public shrine area <Proof>.”
It’s finally time to upgrade the reward increase authority.
In response, I jumped with strength in my legs, and in an instant, I was able to move in front of the temple.
There were several passers-by who seemed to be challengers in the temple… … .
None of them cared about me.
That would be too… … .
「The special power ‘Ghost Magic’ is activated.」
“All energy has been converted to a presence blocking state.”
It’s because I’ve activated the special power I got as a reward from the 19th floor <Blood Ceremony> quest.
They said it was blocked.
Energy such as magical power and divine power, as well as trivial signs, were saved without waste.
It’s so creepy too.
‘Is it because it’s not an SS-class power?’
I never thought you would be able to recognize me this clearly.
Satisfied with the surprising unexpected effect, I slowly moved my steps and looked around.
The appearance of the shrine grounds with mirrors everywhere reminded me of the stage on the 11th floor.
The 11th floor stage was also made up of countless mirrors.
Of course, I didn’t care too much, so I turned my head and walked inside the temple.
I don’t know exactly where to go, but… … .
There was no hesitation in the movement.
It was worth it.
‘I’ll have to go in the direction where the presence is as intense as possible.’
After all, I am in the position of being invited by the god of proof.
So it would be right to tell the situation to the person with the highest level of power in this temple.
The higher the divinity level, the stronger the bond with the deity, so if you are a strong person comparable to an apostle, you will surely know that you have been invited by the god of proof.
It was when I walked for a few minutes along the corridors of the temple where mirrors were scattered here and there.
‘About this?’
I found a prayer room where I felt a lot of divine power.
I admired the flow of divine power that I could feel through my skin, narrowing my eyes.
The apostle on the other side reached the same level as the aria seen in the giant tree labyrinth.
Being comparable to Aria, the official apostle of the God of Darkness, means that communication with the godhead is also possible.
‘There’s no need to procrastinate.’
At that, I opened the door to the prayer room where I could feel the divine power… … .
Kiyi-.
Then, as soon as the door opened wide, a calm voice came from within the prayer room.
“The oracle came down after a long time, so I wondered why… … .”
As if he had just finished praying, a green-haired young man in a habit turned his head.
“I never imagined that such a special guest would come.”
and.
“You worked hard to get here.”
Seeing him talking to me as politely as possible, I smiled.
I didn’t even think… … .
Apparently, the God of Proof was considerate of me and placed an oracle in advance.
Very detailed too.
“You are the candidate for transcendence chosen by the Tower.”
Maybe the things you can get will increase.

Carnil.
The one who called himself a 4th-level official apostle soon brought out a soft smile.
Should it be called an unexpected procedure skip?
I thought we would have to spend some time talking to each other when we came to the temple.
The story progressed neatly as if the god of proof with good sense had prepared everything in advance.
“Seeing that the oracle came down, it seems that you already know about the situation.”
“exactly. Among the candidates chosen by the tower, he is more special than anyone else. He says he knows how to prove himself.”
“Is that so.”
“There’s no point in having a long conversation with each other anyway. I heard that you wish to meet the God of Proof. So, what to do is already decided.”
“… … ?”
Hearing his words, I immediately tilted my head.
‘what?’
It’s like I have something else to do.
I thought I would be able to meet the god of proof right away, but it didn’t seem like that.
Just as I was about to be slightly disappointed, Carnil saw my face and nodded as if he understood.
“Looking at your face, it seems like a pity that you couldn’t meet God right away.”
“… … That’s right. It’s like I’m invited. I didn’t know what else to do.”
“You might think so. But don’t be discouraged. Is this because of the headwinds of causality?”
“The causal rate?”
When I questioned him, Carnil responded softly.
“Those who have risen to the position of godhead are bound by the law of cause and effect. It is subject to the law of cause and effect. That’s why we can’t meet right away.”
cause and effect… … .
‘Oh, come to think of it, I’ve seen causality before.’
Such was the case with <Cause and Reversal> attached to the myth <Possibility of Transcendence>.
According to the description, it was said to create a ‘causal rate that must win’.
Until now, I thought it would randomly provide a buff appropriate to the situation… … .
It seemed that there was a higher-level principle than that.
‘It’s interesting.’
It might be an opportunity to learn a little about the words I heard sometimes while climbing the tower.
If it’s something you need to know anyway, it won’t matter if you know it now.
I immediately asked him again.
“It’s a law that even the Godhead is subordinated to. Where else does that come from? A godhead is a being that partially transcends even the laws.”
“Where is it? It’s from the top. Only this incomprehensible structure has enough power to entangle a deity.”
Tuk-tuk.
Carnil lightly tapped the floor with his foot and said that, only then did he know where the law of causality came from.
“ah… … . understand. If it’s the top, it’s worth it.”
It wouldn’t be strange if the tower disapproved of all deities.
In the first place, the tower was hoping for transcendental power to kill all the gods.
I didn’t know what the law of causation was, but if it was a constraint that restrained the godhead, the tower was worth making.
“In a word, causality is the least restrictive. To prevent the deities from excessively changing the world.”
Carnil showed some understanding, so he moved on to the next story.
“The law of causality exists because there is a cause, so there is an effect… … , is the law. That much legitimacy is required for a deity to exert influence over mortals.”
“Is legitimacy supposed to pay for divine power?”
“Similar. You must have been through it a few times. If the gods try to interfere with the tower, they will know what to pay the tower.”
“Then the divine power must be correct.”
Carnil nodded.
“Well, to elaborate, things like divinity and loss of faith are also added.”
I roughly understood.
The law of causation is cause and effect.
If there is no reasonable cause that can lead to a result, the cost must be met with the power of the godhead.
However, if he lost his power like that every time he showed his influence, most of his divinities would have been extinguished.
“But if you take all those risks, there’s nothing God can do.”
Therefore, there is a trick that can pass the causal rate.
“Then there must be a way where you don’t have to pay the price… … .”
I was sure
Otherwise, the deities wouldn’t have been able to install it so actively.
Since there was such a thing as a trick, it was clear that he enjoyed his rights that way by avoiding legitimacy such as causality.
“It seems I have to go through the process of avoiding paying the price in order to meet the god of proof.”
As if my thoughts were correct, Carnil exclaimed with his eyes wide open.
“… … oh. I didn’t tell you, but I’ll figure it out there. He must have had a knack for using his head.”
“Am I right?”
“exactly. The law of causality, in a nutshell, doesn’t matter what the divine person does as long as there is a ’cause suitable for the result’. So, a procedure to fill the cause is necessary.”
“okay.”
I didn’t get any complaints about not being able to upgrade my right to increase rewards right away.
It was worth it.
After listening to the explanation, I realized how difficult it was to have the authority to increase the reward as well as answer various questions.
The causal law itself may not have been established.
‘Perhaps, in order to give power such as the right to increase compensation, we may have to think about the extinction of the godhead because of the causal law… … .’
Even if he covers the causal rate to some extent, he will bear the loss for the remaining unfulfilled part.
With that in mind, it was understandable that I couldn’t immediately receive the right to increase compensation.
If the causal law is covered by the disappearance of the power of the godhead, saying that the exclusive authority will be upgraded, it is no different from the truth.
It wasn’t shameful enough to wish for it.
“So what should I do to compensate for the causal rate?”
Soon, I skipped all conversations and immediately asked how to meet the god of proof.
What do you need to do to upgrade your reward-rising privileges and get the information you want?
And Carnil returned the answer right away without hesitation.
And very briefly.
“Simple.”
At the same time Carnil spoke, he touched the floor of the prayer room with his foot… … .
“An effect appropriate to a cause means that there must be enough adversity to achieve the effect.”
From that point on, system messages quickly appeared in my field of vision.
「Condition satisfied.」
「The 4th-class formal apostle ‘Carnil’ has requested to enter the <Proof Field>.」
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon is designated as an attendant and will be able to enter <The Proof>.」
and.
“What you have to do won’t be very different.”
next moment.
「※ You have entered the Sacred Zone <Proof Field>.」
In the blink of an eye, I was transported from the prayer room to a green meadow.
***
“Challenger Han Seong-yoon. Prove yourself here. Is that what the God of Proof wants?”
The moment I looked at the meadow where no wind blows.
Carnil continued his speech with an undisturbed expression.
I didn’t expect the space to change so quickly… … .
I didn’t care, probably because I was pretty used to the space changing anyway, and I listened to Carnil’s words.
“<The Field of Proof> is a place where many ascetics who serve the gods gather. Among them are some regular apostles. But none of them made it past this place.”
Carnil smiled expectantly and said.
“Please clear all <Proof Fields> classified into 4 stages.”
and.
“Then you will be able to obtain numerous rewards and the things promised by the God of Proof.”
As soon as he said that, a system message popped into his field of vision.
“A task in the Sacred Zone <Proof Field [Step 1]> has occurred.”
「※Task Description: Defeat the enemy with the highest proficiency weapon with the lowest proficiency weapon.」
「※Task Success Condition: Win against practitioners who meet each condition with weapons with very low proficiency (0/10)」
「※Task Success Reward: Clear Stage 1 · All stats +10 · Skill Proficiency Up Potion (B+)」
After reading all the system messages, my eyes flashed with interest.
‘Kill an enemy with a high-skilled weapon with a low-skilled weapon, eh… … .’
The content of the task and the reward for the task.
It was so interesting that nothing could be ignored.
Even the ‘all stats +10’ and ‘skill proficiency increase potion (B+)’ that can be obtained as a task success reward were especially so.
A chance to get a skill proficiency increase potion that was not easy to obtain despite clearing countless trials… … .
‘It’s fun.’
<Chapter of Proof>.
On this supreme stage prepared by the god of proof… … .
It seemed that there were many things to gain besides the privilege to increase the reward.
