308. Melee (4)
All the command pieces have been gathered together.
“The command piece ‘■■■[3/3]’ has met the charging requirement.”
“You can select and acquire the potential divinity by consuming the spirit fragment ‘■■■[3/3]’.”
“The potential divinity that can currently be acquired is <Hell>, <Pursuit>, and <Acceleration>.”
「※At this time, the uneven potential divinity will not appear as an option in the future.」
I gained the opportunity to obtain the divinity of the apostles I had killed so far.
Even the names of the deities came out as things that could be used in their own way.
Perhaps, choosing a deity among these could itself be quite troublesome.
But now is not the time to do that.
because… … .
“Selection on hold.”
「※You can select and acquire the potential divinity later at a desired time.」
This is because Alton’s death instantly made the scene quiet.
[ … … . ]
Alton’s body, still gushing with blood, was left lying around as if foreshadowing a future battle.
All the monarchs sitting in the auditorium of the duel arena looked down at this place with stern faces.
Didn’t anyone ever think that Alton would die with just one hit of Holy Power?
Before we knew it, the monarchs seemed to be quickly rolling their eyes and continuing to think about various things, as if calculating gains and losses.
To be honest, it wasn’t a sight I particularly liked.
[Did you not hear me? ]
I calmed my gaze coldly and spoke.
[I guess you said it was time to get down from that place? ]
It was worth it.
I don’t know how the God of Remorse will come out, but now he has at least enough strength to deal with the monarchs.
If so, wouldn’t this be an opportunity to raise the percentage of the second ascension almost to the end?
There is no reason to refuse the meal prepared for you.
Even the God of Remorse was a cautious person, so there was a high probability that he would not participate in battle.
From the moment it was confirmed that the power of the sacred <Death> could be amplified several times through black magic [Black Halo], the odds of winning increased significantly.
‘Excluding the God of Remorse, there are 7 monarchs to deal with, so I think I’ll be able to win.’
At best, the monarchs were only elevated to the rank of gods.
They showed some of their skills by killing Alton, so it probably won’t be possible to kill him all at once using the same principle… … .
Even so, if you stay on the edge of formal godhood, it will be obvious that you will win.
And as if the monarchs knew this, they looked in this direction as if they were very nervous and then asked the God of Regret to intervene.
“Hoes, the god of regret. “Please, could you please cancel the duel with the author?”
“… … Yes, it is! “Isn’t the duel in the cradle decided by mutual agreement between the monarchs?”
“At least I don’t want to fight a monster like that. … … “I think it’s going to be a dog’s death.”
Even though he hadn’t shown his full power yet, he was very frightened.
‘For someone so powerful that they can compete with Godheads, they seem like cowards?’
And as I frowned at that, I heard the sound of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword buzzing in my ears.
―… … Wouldn’t it be natural?
Dam Cheon-woo, who had been quiet until now, opened his mouth.
―An apostle serving the ancient godhead. He was someone who might even be able to destroy a planet. But you killed it in less than a few seconds.
[ … … . ]
―Even if hexes such as black magic were used, there is no way that their value would fade. They’ll probably feel like you’re a monster over there.
[ Is that so… … . ]
I can understand it to some extent.
They will probably see me as a monster who killed an ancient apostle of godhood with a single blow.
Therefore, even if the conditions for numerical superiority of one to many are met, there is no way they would want to openly oppose this side.
[ Duel canceled? … … no. There is no such thing. You will have to fight against him and achieve victory. ]
But the God of Remorse seemed to have other thoughts.
[Wouldn’t it be a disgrace to your prestige to withdraw from here? ]
“What is that… … .”
[As proud monarchs of the Cradle, I hope everyone will do their best… … . ]
“Si, I don’t like it! Why do we have to bear such a burden…? … ! “As a member of the cradle, I refuse—.”
The moment an unknown wolf-eared male monarch shouted that.
[Everyone is misunderstanding something. ]
The God of Remorse spoke in an extremely cold voice.
[This is not Jane or a favor. ]
As if what the other monarchs here think is not important.
[It just means giving value to scum like you for feeding them so far. ]
and.
[ … … Did you really think there was no reason to create a cradle-like dueling club and raise monarchs like you? ]
That was actually the case.
[ These hunting dogs have been raised to be used in situations like this, so it would be difficult if they suddenly refused to hunt. ]
As soon as the God of Remorse finished speaking, a deep power flowed from him.
“The myth <Contract of Seven Obedience> meets the conditions and is activated automatically.”
“The myth <Seven Contracts of Obedience> converts the contractees into a state of dependence and forced contract fulfillment.”

The mythic ability that only a god can build has been activated.
With Chara… … !
In an instant, the chains extended from the God of Remorse surged towards the seven demon lords.
And as soon as the chains touched the demon world lords, they all stood up, creaking their bodies like marionettes.
It’s like watching a doll being clumsily controlled.
In fact, the monarchs in the audience of the duel were astonished to see bodies moving against their own will.
“What… … !”
“Gye, it’s a contract? I’ve never heard of anything like this… … !”
“I did… … army! haha! That’s right, you’ve been leading the monarchs all this time just to use them like bastards!”
I guess I didn’t know that the God of Remorse was playing a trick… … .
Despite being at a level comparable to godhood, most were unable to resist.
And as I looked at it, I was able to read the origin of the power felt in the myth.
[Is this a power that takes a long time to be activated against an opponent designated as a myth? ]
Is it because of the level of divinity he gained by killing Alkaid and Alton?
Now, even if the contents of the myth were not revealed in the system message, I could vaguely feel the details beyond it.
I can’t say with complete certainty yet… … .
Nevertheless, the guess was correct, as if the God of Remorse was satisfied, nodding his head and replying in a humorous voice.
[That’s right. That’s why they had foolish monarchs. Hundreds of years had to be spent meeting the conditions to activate this myth. ]
[ … … . ]
[Even if they reach a level that can rival godhood, there are no people who are truly gods. I didn’t even notice that I had put a little effort into it. ]
[That seems like a vicious hobby. ]
[ hmm… … . Not really. After all, they are just people who only coveted a high position from the cradle under my protection as the 17th monarch. When it comes to evil, wouldn’t these guys be the worst? ]
[ well… … . ]
Even if he took advantage by clinging to the God of Remorse, could this be considered justified?
Perhaps if they had known that he would be as obedient as a dog, no one would have stuck to him.
But I didn’t think to point that out.
Because there’s no need to do that.
[But anyway, it’s good news for me. ]
Before I knew it, I had a smile on my face and my eyes were shining fiercely.
The God of Remorse had no intention of moving directly anyway.
Then, what to do is decided.
Next moment.
「I use sacred <transcendence>.」
“All abilities are outside of their designated range.”
“The more you hit the limit, the faster all your abilities will fall outside of their designated range.”
“The growth rate of all types increases [6] times in proportion to the level difference with the opponent.”
[ Even so, it was necessary to kill the monarchs. ]
Just like that, I signaled the start of the battle with a brilliant golden glow.
***
Duddud—!
As soon as I used the sacred <Transcendence>, I felt my power swell significantly.
Through transcendence, all abilities are outside of their defined scope.
However, there was a feeling that it was slightly lacking.
‘Is it only 6 times the growth rate? … .’
It was worth it.
Until now, the activation of the sacred <Transcendence> had been used against numerous powerful enemies.
This time too, he used the sacred <Transcendence> because he thought that the demon world monarchs in front of him were threatening in their own way.
However, perhaps that thought was wrong, and the efficiency of the sacred <Transcendence> was not very great.
‘This might not be enough.’
This is a situation where I need to activate the sacred <Transcendence>, but since it is not very effective, there is nothing I can do about it.
In the end, right after I felt the need to mix in another power in addition to the divine <Transcendence>.
In the blink of an eye, I activated my skill as I saw the seven monarchs rushing towards me like lightning.
as soon as… … .
“Skill ‘Punishment’ is activated.”
「During the active time of this skill, all stats increase by +7.」
「During the active time of this skill, magic power is never consumed.」
“The power of the dragon dwells in you, and your magic power increases by 100%.”
punishment.
An incredibly deceptive skill that completely eliminates magical power consumption.
In addition to that, a skill with tremendous effectiveness was activated, with various additional effects.
Originally, it couldn’t be used by anyone other than evil beings, but aren’t all the enemies here the lords of the demon world?
‘Then the activation state of punishment can be considered to continue until the end of the battle.’
Then, with a grin, I used the power to increase the effectiveness of the punishment.
“The special power ‘Dragonization’ is activated.”
“For 10 minutes, the total amount of magical power is doubled.”
“For 10 minutes, we will recreate some of the characteristics of the Dragon Clan.”
“For 10 minutes, all interference and operating abilities related to magical power increase.”
The body’s skeleton slightly distorted, its body grew larger, and two horns grew on its head.
It reminds me of dragons I’ve seen before.
And at the same time, the horsepower itself increased significantly.
‘Now I can use skills without thinking about the cost of magical power.’
In fact, most technologies that use magical power have lost their consumption value.
Originally, the link between punishment skill and acceptance was excellent, but after learning black magic, the efficiency itself must have changed.
That’s why I immediately converted my magical energy into demonic energy.
As I felt an absurd amount of demonic energy overflowing all over the place in an instant, the monarchs who had come down were kicking the ground.
Among them, a red-skinned man with an exciting expression shouted loudly.
“Hehe! This is not necessarily a bad thing! “If you can’t avoid it anyway, you just have to enjoy it!!”
Still, does this mean that he is unusual for someone who has ascended to the position of monarch in his own way?
Suddenly, unlike other monarchs, he let go of his anger and hesitation and went into battle without hesitation.
I think he probably realized that he couldn’t move as he wanted until he killed me like this… … .
It was great.
“I will make sure that the 53rd Lord, Baizan Cassillium, punishes you!!”
It’s just that his high spirit is disappointing because the opponent is me.
[ okay? ]
and.
[Then shall I go with all my might? ]
Next moment.
[Even so, it was a car I was curious about. ]
Tsutsutsutsutsutsu… … !!!
The moment when darkness stirred all over the body and a black halo glowed.
“Use sacred <death>.”
“He can control the death of everything that has been eroded by sacred <death>.”
“※Divinity <Death> can be inhabited by black magic through [Black Halo].”
[How far can black magic be used? ]
The newly created technique accepted divine power and increased its power.
What I would do from now on was simple.
as soon as… … .
‘Can I use black magic that enchants divinity?’
The sacred <Death> will be imbued with black magic.
If there was no limit to the amount of magical power, the attack would have to be adjusted accordingly.
So, instead of twisting the holy power with black magic, I focused my attention solely on infusing the black magic with the holy power.
‘A means to utilize the limitless power of magical power to its fullest potential… … .’
and.
‘… … Oh, come to think of it, I got something from Alkaid.’
The moment when I remembered the final black magic I saw in the final battle with Alkaid.
[ Goes. ]
As it was, I used the five secrets of black magic accumulated by Alkaid.
With only offensive black magic, the goblin lord Alkaid sits in a position that no one can ignore… … .
And now, the offensive black magic modified by me has appeared, embracing the sacred <Death>.
Pachijik—!
The sky dyed black.
A round thundercloud filled with divinity gathered there.
Suddenly, black thunder, like a wild beast, was rumbling in the very center of the thundercloud.
Next moment.
【The shadow of a thunderbolt lurking in the darkness】
Jijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijiji!!!!
A thunderstorm struck the earth, coloring everything with death.
