312. Qualification test (3)
Blah blah blah blah—!
In an instant, the space in the area was destroyed horribly, interfering with the divine <leap> of the God of Remorse.
‘Escape is impossible now.’
Anyway, even if it is space movement using divinity, doesn’t it work if there is at least a space to move?
In that case, all you had to do was collapse the space so that space movement could not be used at all.
Perhaps, if the God of Repentance did not have enough depth to control the realm of the concept of the divine <Leap>, what would happen was predetermined.
as soon as… … .
“The use of Divine <Leap> has been discontinued due to space collapse.”
[ Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…? … !! ]
In this way, it is unable to withstand the collapse of space and fails to jump into space.
Before I knew it, the God of Remorse, who had been thrown out due to the cessation of the activation of the Holy <Leap>, rolled on the blood-stained floor and screamed.
It was worth it.
The arm of the God of Remorse looked as if it had been crushed by something, and that was the price due to the failure of spatial movement.
‘Did some part of the body get caught up in the collapse during the leap in space?’
Perhaps the body, which should have arbitrarily crossed space through a spatial jump, was caught up in the aftermath due to the collapse of space.
Still, he must have sensed the spatial collapse and escaped right away, at most he lost an arm.
Nevertheless, the pain of having your arm swallowed and collapsed in space must be beyond imagination.
However, the God of Remorse had no time to adjust to the intense pain.
That’s right… … .
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
[ ───!! ]
This is because the Holy Light containing the divine <Death> has suddenly swallowed up the God of Remorse.
Even if the God of Remorse widened his distance to avoid the light of the Holy Light, the black starlight with the sacred <acceleration> added was by no means slow.
The God of Remorse, caught in the black explosion, let out a beast-like scream and was exposed to the black starlight.
And at the same time, I was confident of victory as I felt that the divine <Death> had reached the place where the essence of the god of remorse was.
‘You won.’
The divine <Death> has the power to color everything with death.
And if such divinity had succeeded in penetrating into the body of a higher divinity, it was no longer worth discussing victory or defeat at all.
Even the god of battle could not use his power properly when his sacred <Death> was eroded.
However, there is no way that someone like the God of Remorse can handle the power of the divinity <Death>, which has now become a higher level god and has ascended to a deeper realm.
actually… … .
[ Ugh… … ! ]
Before I knew it, the repentant god had collapsed on the floor and was spitting out black, dead blood.
Still, I tried to activate my divinity as much as possible to see if I still had the will to fight… … .
The divine power residing in the heart of the God of Remorse no longer obeyed his control.
“The sacred <Remorse> is eroded by the sacred <Death>, so the activation is cancelled.”
Cheesy… … !
[How, why, this… … . ]
The god of remorse sat down on the floor and looked at his right hand in despair.
Perhaps he is trying to gather as much divinity as possible and concentrate it in his right hand… … .
All the divine power that came from his heart disappeared as if oxidized into thin air without even being able to form its proper form.
[ That divinity cannot take form… … ? ]
Should we say that it is the result of sacred <death> being applied to its limits?
With this, the God of Remorse, who can now interfere with the concept of time, was not given a chance to do anything.
Perhaps the God of Remorse still had a lot of power left.
Whether it was divine or mythical, it would have been possible to create enough variables, and with that, a meaningful battle might have been possible.
But that wasn’t the case anymore.
[Well, I should have fought instead of running away from the beginning. ]
The moment I spoke to the God of Remorse, who was in despair as he collapsed on the blood-stained ground.
[If that were the case, something could have been different, right? ]
[This, this, this… … !! ]
[It’s a blessing to be self-employed. ]
[ Oh my… … !! ]
In an instant, the God of Remorse’s eyes became bloodshot and an angry voice came from him.
[ How dare you, the bastard of the tower that has not been repaid, mock me?!! ]
He vomited blood and cursed as if he was throwing away everything he had done to save face.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand.
To die without even being able to use the power of divinity and myth that still remains in your possession?
Even if I were the god of remorse, I would have been furious at the thought of not having even had a proper fight.
But his unfair cries did not last that long.
That’s right… … .
Kwazijic-!
This was because the blade of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword had penetrated his heart before he knew it.
[ Ugh… … ! ]
It’s not even just that.
“Use sacred <death>.”
“He can control the death of everything that has been eroded by sacred <death>.”

[ ───Quaaaaa!! ]
The moment when the divine <Death> was sent through the blade and his death was accelerated.
[Just shut up and give me credit. ]
As it was, I drew a deep, greedy smile and coveted the divine spirit flowing from the God of Remorse.
“I have absorbed the spirit of ‘Rigret’, the god of remorse.”
“Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against Shinkyuk, bringing him 12.9% closer to the second ascension.”
and.
“We have captured the divinity in the spirit of ‘Rigret’, the god of remorse.”
“The power ‘Sacred Power’ is activated when the conditions are met.”
“Divinity extraction successful.”
Next moment.
“Special conditions have been met by absorbing the spirit of ‘Rigret’, the god of remorse.”
“You can acquire one of the divinity possessed by the spirit of ‘Rigret’, the god of remorse.”
“The potential divinity that can currently be acquired is <Remorse>, <Leap>, <Survival>, <Secret>, <Manipulation>, and <Betrayal>.”
「※At this time, the uneven potential divinity will not appear as an option in the future.」
In an instant, divine power filled my heart, and a choice appeared before my eyes.
[ at las. ]
Now is the time to acquire a new divinity.
***
I smiled, taking in the divine power that had suddenly filled my heart.
[The sacred power has increased a lot. ]
It was worth it.
Currently, the divine power has been extracted from him by absorbing the spirit of the God of Remorse.
He had even obtained divine power from the gods he had faced so far, and now his divine power was about to grow.
‘That’s great.’
And the growth of sacred power means that other sacred uses become possible.
What will we be able to do using divine power this time?
As I was enjoying the anticipation for a moment, I heard a voice in my ear.
It’s no different… … .
―I never thought even a high-ranking god could be defeated so easily.
It was Dam Cheon-woo.
―I really don’t think it’s a waste to call him a monster anymore… … .
[ no. It’s just that the God of Remorse was caught in his own tricks. Originally, this should have taken more time. ]
―… … ah. Well, the erosion of the sacred <Death> occurred more easily than expected, so the God of Remorse died without being able to do anything.
[ Perhaps the believer of remorse also had an ace up his sleeve. ]
And after responding like that, I smiled as I looked at the remorseful corpse of the god.
[Well, now I can no longer figure out what that secret trick is. ]
The God of Remorse was clearly a strong man who had reached a high level.
So, before adding the black magic [Black Halo] to the Divine Armor, wasn’t it cracked as if it would break?
However, the God of Remorse chose to avoid it instead of confronting it head on.
However, I can only push the God of Remorse into a corner in the process.
The story would have been different if the God of Remorse had launched another attack instead of attempting the space jump itself.
But it was meaningless now.
[Still, I know what I need to get, so there’s no need to worry too much. ]
Therefore, I focused on the system message that immediately appeared before my eyes.
‘Divine Selection.’
There were quite a few divinity that could be extracted from the death spirit obtained by killing the God of Remorse.
The only drawback is that none of them are particularly attractive.
I don’t know why, but most of the Gods of Remorse had divinity that was far from battle.
So, it is useless to think for a long time about what to get out of these.
After all, I already know which of these divinity would be best to obtain.
“Selection completed.”
“Divinity <remorse> is replaced with potential.”
[Divinities that can interfere with the concept of time are not that common. ]
I chose the divinity <Remorse>, and soon my eyes sparkled and I focused on the divinity that had newly settled in my heart.
However, even if I contemplated the divinity in my heart, I could not immediately know its contents.
Whatever it is, it’s better to try it yourself than to see it… … .
The moment when the sacred ability of <Remorse> was activated.
“The sacred <Remorse> is used.”
“It can interfere with the past concept of time.”
“However, if the interference is unrelated to the user of Holy <Repentance>, the Holy Spirit’s activation will be cancelled.”
As it was, I was able to see what I could do with the sacred <Remorse>.
[ … … . ]
Regret is a power that comes from obsessing over things of the past.
And because of that, we were able to touch on concepts from the past, and the range of use was wide.
After a moment of thought, I figured out how to use the sacred <Repentance> and immediately deployed the divine power externally.
Phew.
-this is… … .
And as soon as he saw that, a voice full of confusion flowed from the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword.
―Has time really stopped?
It was worth it.
Before I knew it, the flow of time had slowed down in the place where the sacred <Remorse> unfolded.
The wind that blew from all over the demon world, the dark clouds floating in the purple sky, and even the magical power spread in the air… … .
In the blink of an eye, the flow of time applied to this place slowed down.
But time hasn’t stopped.
[ … … Rather than saying that time has stopped, it has slowed down the flow of time. ]
And then I touched the blade of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword and continued speaking.
[ With Divine <Remorse>, it seems that you can now interfere with the concept of time around you to some extent. ]
We simply slowed down the flow of time by focusing it on the past.
However, there may be limitations to the scope of application, but the farther I get from where I am standing, the more difficult it is to slow down the flow of time.
And more than anything, the consumption of sacred power also increases.
At the very least, it could be said that it became clear that it was not a divinity that could be applied in a broad way.
But maybe that was enough of a surprise for Dam Cheon-woo to laugh.
-hot! Is this the divinity possessed by a higher deity? At this point, most deities can’t even reveal their names.
[ However, it is not a very useful ability. ]
―Is it because of the consumption of divine power and the fact that there is a way to destroy it to some extent, even if it means slowing down the flow of time?
[ That’s right. ]
It probably wouldn’t be very effective in battles between gods.
[ … … But that only applies when power is applied over a wide range. ]
However, that does not mean that there is no way to use it.
[Perhaps in a narrow category, and for things that are relevant to me, usage will increase. ]
It would also be possible to turn back a certain area of time with sacred <Remorse>.
Well, the consumption of sacred power would increase and the range of application would be narrow, but still being able to turn back time was unusual.
Perhaps, if I sharpen it enough, my ability will eventually be comparable to that of the ‘Returner’s Old Wristwatch (SSS+)’.
And I liked the fact that I could use it freely.
‘Maybe there is a way to apply this to black magic.’
Among the possibilities possessed by the Holy <Repentance> was the possibility of reducing the cooldown of the system.
If this could be applied to black magic [Skill Cool Time Acceleration], it was worth hoping for.
… … Since the understanding of the sacred <Repentance> is not very high yet, it may not be able to show much use.
‘And if you combine this with the transcendence myth, you might be able to defy the tower.’
Still, if you increase your skill level enough and reach the level of ancient godhood, something will change.
Thinking back on that time, this divine <Remorse> was well worth having.
It was time to continue thinking about various things about the sacred <Remorse>.
Damn it.
[ … … . ]
Suddenly, the moment when space split apart, excluding the time-slowing effect of the divine <Remorse>.
-You are an uninvited guest.
As it was, the activation of the sacred <Remorse> stopped and someone appeared beyond the divided space.
[ Challenger from the tower. ]
It’s no different… … .
[ 17th Lord, congratulations on defeating the God of Remorse. ]
Suddenly, a middle-aged man who looked like a deacon with a subversive spirit appeared.
‘no way.’
A divinity that I’m sure I’ve seen somewhere before.
“First-class apostle ‘Kazura’ pays respect to the God of Transcendence.”
[I am a servant who serves the greatest being in the demon world. ]
as soon as… … .
[I am the servant of the demon god. ]
Ancient deity.
Among them, there is one I have already encountered and received favor from once.
The first-class apostle chosen by the demon god had appeared here.
[The Demon God recommends that you take a qualification test for the position of supreme monarch. ]
Even with the conditions for clearing special class trials.
