God of remorse.
An old monster who had accumulated power as a god for a long time spoke.
Divinity is the power to twist the real realm into an abstract concept.
Therefore, he said that even if those without divinity could be compared to divinity, their lives would not be very valuable.
‘I never thought it would mean something like this.’
In fact, the God of Remorse had the power to say that.
I narrowed my eyes at the divine power of <Remorse> that was still constricting every part of my body.
… … Even though there was a restriction that it was a 1:1 confrontation between the two, I never thought they would return each other’s condition to the way it was before acquiring divinity.
‘Am I going to return all my abilities to when I was mortal?’
The divine <remorse> did not just lower the status of the divine.
It erases all abilities, skills, powers, items, and countless other powers, and returns to the state of a mortal in the true sense of the word.
The exclusive perk ‘Absolute Preservation (SSS+)’ previously acquired in the Giant Tree Labyrinth was torn like a piece of paper, allowing it to be sealed by the opponent’s power.
Even counter-type powers such as Divine <Reverse Heaven> did not activate.
‘In fact, it is close to the strongest among high-ranking gods.’
I was very surprised because it was my first time encountering a deity that touches on concepts related to time.
However, is it because there is a difference in compatibility between the transcendent myth <Spirit Attunement> and each other?
The God of Remorse has now reached a level where he is no more than a fool who was tricked by his own tricks.
“… … “Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh.”
The sight of him breaking into a cold sweat without stopping, as if he sensed death.
The god of remorse, who had regained his youthful appearance, rolled his eyes here and there and looked.
It was worth it.
Currently, due to divinity <Remorse>, he has lost all types of divinity and all his powers have returned to his days as a mortal.
Now that the reason why I was so confident has disappeared, I can’t help but feel anxious.
“… … God of transcendence. This is my mistake. So, why don’t we go for a draw this time?”
In fact, the God of Remorse said that while breaking into a cold sweat.
[ tie? ]
“… … I had no ill feelings towards you. So, isn’t that why I’ve been conserving my strength so far? “Let’s be courteous to each other like gods.”
[ To discuss etiquette between deities, isn’t that person no longer a deity? ]
“… … … uh. That, um, I mean, that can be explained—.”
[There is no need to explain much. Because I’m going to kill you now anyway. ]
And then I immediately looked at the God of Remorse and raised my Blood Heaven Demon Sword.
Perhaps, if the conditions for 1:1 confrontation are met, the God of Remorse will no longer be able to return to the body of the Transcendent.
In that case, wouldn’t it be more efficient to deal with him here instead of wasting time?
Even more than anything else, I was very interested in the divinity that the God of Remorse possesses and the possibilities inherent within it.
‘I’ve never seen a nova that can even indirectly touch the concept of time.’
It was worth it.
Because <Remorse>, the divinity of the god of remorse, was able to touch the concept of the past.
There was no specific method, but it seemed like high-level operation would be possible as long as the understanding of the concept was high.
[I wanted to have divinity related to time even if it wasn’t. ]
and.
Whoa… … !
[Then die now. ]
The moment I swung the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and tried to slay the God of Regret.
“… … Now, now, now, wait! “You, you, you will not be able to gain my power!”
chuck.
Suddenly, I stopped swinging the Blood Heaven Demon Sword at the sound the God of Remorse made.
[ what? ]
“… … ha ha ha. It’s because this is a body that has been around for a long time. “I have found out how your divinity becomes stronger.”
[ … … . ]
“… … “It’s a kind of spirit-type ability to collect and store spirits, and if that’s not enough, it raises the level of divinity through mythology.”
[It’s amazing. ]
I never thought I would have figured it out in that short period of time.
In fact, it seems like I have found out general information about necromancy and the myth <Possibility of Transcendence>… … .
If that was the case, I had no intention of keeping him alive.
In some cases, information about me may become known to my enemies.
“And your power will not work on me now.”
But the God of Remorse continued as if he knew even that.
“Currently, I have lost my divinity and have returned to my form as a mortal. Soul and divinity. “Nothing else would be an attractive reward for you.”
And only then did I understand what he was saying.
[In other words, you mean that you wouldn’t gain anything if you killed him now, right? ]
“That’s right… … .”
[ Now that I think about it, I guess that’s true. It wouldn’t be good to absorb the evil spirit, and if you don’t have divinity, you won’t be able to gain divinity. ]
“Okay, so, I’d like to make a proposal… … .”
[No way. ]
“?”
But even so, I had no intention of listening to the words of the God of Remorse.
‘There is no need to be needlessly fooled by the tricks of the God of Remorse.’

The remorseful god who has regained his youthful appearance before his eyes is the old monster of old monsters.
The proof is that he has not shown his power until he has acquired information about me.
The God of Remorse was a serpent capable of thoroughly calculating gains and losses, and it was not a good idea to give such a person room to do anything.
[In that case, I should do whatever I want. ]
so.
[God of remorse. ]
“… … What, what is it? “Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?”
[Among the monarchs in the demon world, do you know about those who are good at using black magic? ]
“… … … … “What the heck?”
There is no need to be deceived by the old monster’s tricks. All we have to do is control him.
[At least until that side regains its strength, this side should use its time wisely. ]
Even so, I wanted to deeply explore the possibilities of black magic that I saw during the melee with the monarchs.
[ Let’s go learn black magic. ]
Perhaps it will be a fun black magic practice from now on.
***
Time passed quickly.
“The achievement ‘True Devil’ has been achieved.”
“Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased Compensation] is automatically activated when the conditions are met.”
“The level of rewards obtained from achievements increases from [Level E] to [Level D].”
“Skill ‘Pure Malice (D)’ is created.”
Demon world.
In a world where only evil beings live, there were a lot of really interesting things to learn.
Should I say that I regret once again having underestimated the value of pure technology by focusing on skills, powers, and divinity-like abilities?
‘There are really a lot of interesting things in the demon world… … .’
At this point, there is more enlightenment gained from exploring the demon world than from fighting against gods.
“Kwaaaaa!!”
“God of remorse!! You crazy bastard! you you! “What kind of monster did you bring here?!”
“Huh, huh. A, the family’s secret technique? Crazy guy… … ! “Did you just terrorize the territory with something like that?!”
Many demons shed blood-stained tears and gave visions of black magic.
‘There really are a lot of drinking techniques.’
There were too many types of magic to count.
Elemental spells, body strengthening spells, regeneration spells, etc… … .
Every time I visited the old masters of the demonic world and acquired their secret techniques, the achievement of black magic progressed rapidly.
「Achievement ‘Element Application Series Black Magic Master’ has been achieved.」
「Achievement ‘Body Active Black Magic Master’ has been achieved… … .」
「Achievement ‘Regeneration Acceleration Black Magic Master’ has been achieved… … .」
It’s gotten to the point where it’s faster to count the black magic you can’t do than the black magic you can do.
―At this point, isn’t it okay to call him a warlock now? … ?
Even Dam Cheon-woo, who watched the process, said so.
Countless demons and devils were reduced to a handful of blood.
There were demons who reached the same level as Alkaid, and there were also masters of black magic who reached an even higher level.
But even so, the ending was all the same.
“Hehehehe!! You are arrogant, warlock!! Do you think you will reach the end of the road with only talent?!!”
“The achievement ‘Arcane Art Stealer’ has been achieved.”
“Do you think I’ll admit it…? … . Cough… … . People like you are not geniuses or anything… … . Hey, monster… … .”
“The achievement ‘Grand Master of Dark Magic’ has been achieved.”
“Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha! Three, the world! The world will be destroyed! A monster is being born… … !!”
“The achievement ‘Worst Talent’ has been achieved.”
In the end, all the warlocks spat out their magic and died.
[It’s easy. ]
Even though no divine power was used, progress was not blocked.
It didn’t even take much time to defeat the warlocks located throughout the demon world.
At most, only about a day had passed.
But unlike that, the rewards were many.
“Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against the monarch, bringing him 11.9% closer to his second ascension.”
「As a special reward according to <Divinity Rise>, you will receive the exclusive effect ‘Warlock (A+)’.”
“From now on, Challenger Han Seong-yoon can obtain additional corrections to all black magic.”
‘I have definitely grown in black magic as well as ascension.’
In fact, wouldn’t he now be more powerful than any wizard the Earth has ever seen?
His accomplishments in black magic were so profound that one might think so.
A state in which the growth of ascension has been achieved again and the divinity can once again surpass the level of ancient divinity.
At the very least, it seemed certain that if I cleared this special class, I would become an ancient god.
I was very satisfied with that, so I wiped the blood off my hands and continued with the work I had been putting off.
It’s no different… … .
“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.」
[ Now that I think about it, I was able to gain divinity by killing Alton. ]
He had the opportunity to acquire divinity by killing Alton, previously the 64th monarch and apostle of the ancient godhead.
It’s just that the acquisition of divinity was delayed because the acquisition of divinity itself was not a priority until now.
And now that I was getting closer to the end of black magic, I had time to gain new divinity.
[I think I know roughly what it all means… … . ]
I was able to guess which apostle each choice came from.
From the divinity of Karnar Sagsis, <Hell>, to the divinity of Kramash, who served the god of battle, <Pursuit>, and to the divinity of Alton, <Acceleration>… … .
It wasn’t that interesting.
For now, I skipped over Karnar Sagsis’ sacred <Hell>, as I had already seen it before, and instead took note of sacred <Pursuit> and sacred <Acceleration>.
But even this didn’t last that long.
‘I don’t think either Holy <Hell> nor Holy <Pursuit> will be that good, so this might be better.’
That’s right… … .
“Selection complete.”
“Divine <acceleration> is replaced with potential.”
At least I had decided on what to choose.
“Holy <acceleration> is used.”
“All abilities of challenger Han Seong-yoon are greatly accelerated and become faster.”
Only after acquiring divinity, I was able to understand what this nova <acceleration> ability was.
‘Is it really just a power that increases speed without anything else?’
All kinds of abilities move at speeds beyond recognition, and even the speed of movement of the body no longer belongs to humans.
But at most it was only worth that much.
It was not at a level where it could function as a kind of conceptual domain, and it seemed impossible to utilize it widely.
In fact, I could see that this was not a very meaningful concept that could be applied in a constant activation form.
[ Still, it’s better than nothing. ]
and.
[God of remorse. That’s enough. Let’s go to where there’s another warlock. ]
The moment I turned my head and asked the God of Remorse for guidance.
“Heh, heh, heh heh… … .”
Suddenly, the remorseful god with dark, dead eyes smiled helplessly.
It feels as if being alive itself is despair.
Only then did I realize.
“Sacred <Remorse> will no longer be used due to the end of time.”
“When sacred <Remorse> is used, the manipulated realm of reality returns to its original state.”
“Due to divinity <remorse>, the effects of returning to the state before acquiring divinity disappear.”
[ … … Can I just commit suicide? ]
[ no. ]
[ … … . ]
Now is the time to obtain divine <remorse>.
