328. Gap (4)
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
In the blink of an eye, the divine starlight swallowed everything.
Is this because various sacred powers and skills are added to the sacred <Transcendence> as the core?
Before we knew it, the divine starlight filled the sky, and then it swelled and released its power as if it could crush the world.
Twajijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijiji!
At this point, it wouldn’t be surprising if the world of Earth itself was destroyed.
But it doesn’t work that way.
The sacred realm <Transcendence> adjusted the influence of the divine starlight to prevent it from leaking out as much as possible, concentrating its power to one point.
as soon as… … .
“The god of despair, fall, and madness is astonished by the divine starlight.”
[That, on earth… … ! ]
To the god of despair, fall, and madness.
The moment when the divine powers gained from encountering countless gods were concentrated into one power and released.
As it was, the god of despair, fall, and madness quickly ejected black tentacles from his crackling body as if there were noise.
Oh my gosh!
“Divine <Despair> is activated, and attacks that hit the divinity lose their power.”
And as soon as those black tentacles touched the starlight of the nova, they seemed to push away the light.
The appearance of black tentacles divided into tens or hundreds pushing the holy light, as if pushing a dull stone.
Only then did the God of Despair, Fall, and Madness twitch the corner of his mouth and spoke as if he was certain of victory.
[ ha ha ha… … . Yes, this is my power… … . despair. The power to cut off everything… … . ]
Suddenly, her voice became as relaxed and calm as before.
[An insect like you can’t match this power… … ? ]
but.
[ … … uh? ]
It was only for a moment.
Cheesy… … !
The Divine Starlight clashed for a short time, and after that fierce battle, victory was finally achieved.
Burning the ejected black tentacles in an instant, the starlight made of nova moves forward again.
As if the black tentacles imbued with the divine <Despair> really had no meaning.
Only then did she widen the one eye that was not covered by the noise and was astonished.
[What is this… … . ]
It was worth it.
[Why does the power of an insect like you overcome the divine <Despair>… … ? ]
Because the divine <Despair> is literally a power that is like the divine enemy.
no.
There is no need to limit it to the category of divinity.
The divinity <Despair> possessed by the ancient deity in front of me would be the ability to cut off all power.
But isn’t it the same here?
“※Divine <Evil Consciousness> has been activated and is devouring the Divine <Despair>.”
Wazijik-.
Currently, various divine powers are added to the divine starlight.
And among them, there was also the divinity <evil food> that ate the divinity itself.
‘Obtaining the divine <Evil Food> is not for decoration.’
And the sacred <Evil Eater> was literally like a natural enemy of the divine, devouring divine power.
That’s probably why evil gods, who were high-ranking gods, used it as a special move.
Even if the divine <Despair> was the ability to cut off everything, it would only be a divine power.
Even the myth “The Natural Enemy of Everything” has been activated.
In that case, it was possible to overwhelmingly devour the sacred <Despair> with the divine <evil eating>.
Just like now.
[ dare… … . ]
The god of despair, fall, and madness spoke in a slow but furious voice.
[A bastard who was at most mortal is acting treacherously… … ? ]
and.
[Then let me destroy that disgusting arrogance… … . ]
Next moment.
「Due to the sacred <fall>, a cooldown of 10 minutes is temporarily created for the power skill ‘Starlight (S+)’.”
Her sacred <Fall> was activated, and there were restrictions on her power to manipulate divine starlight.
However, the divine starlight that has already been activated does not disappear.
It did not seal the Holy Light skill itself, but simply created a cooldown time for the skill.
However, it seemed like the opponent had already achieved his goal with this.
That’s right… … .
“The sacred <madness> is activated, and everything that comes in contact with the sacred degenerates and erodes.”
After all, the God of Despair, Fall, and Madness prevented the attack from being offset.
Wow… … !!
In an instant, the black tentacles connected to the Celestial God’s body divided and expanded countless times.
And in the process, black tentacles mixed with sacred <despair> and sacred <madness> poured down on me, even the light of holy light.
Even that is unavoidable.

[I will put an end to the struggles of bugs and such… … . ]
but.
[Who is going to end it however they want? ]
Still, I didn’t blink even once.
[I have no intention of ending it yet. ]
That’s right… … .
“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.”
Because the countless attacks in front of me can’t reach me anyway.
***
Keying.
Little noise.
It felt as if the hands of a clock had been forcibly stopped from turning.
When I suddenly heard that small sound echoing quietly, the corners of my mouth twisted into a smile.
[ … … Could this have been used like this? ]
Divine <Remorse> is the ability to interfere with past concepts.
Although it cannot be operated in a special way like the God of Regret, it can be easily adjusted to the flow of time. Now, I am fully aware of how to do it.
That too for sure.
So, with divine <remorse>, I decided what would happen if I used the divine power based on where I was.
It’s no different… … .
―… … Time has stopped.
Time gradually slowed down and eventually stopped.
―… … Isn’t the level completely different from what we saw in the demon world back then?
As I listened to Dam Cheon-woo’s muttering voice, I expressed my inner satisfaction.
As he said, the time stop using the divine <Remorse> was strengthened by using the transcendental myth <Spirit Attunement>.
That’s why even stopping time could be used by ancient gods.
Only then did I clear my mind a little and think objectively about the value of sacred <Remorse>.
‘In fact, it’s like when you approach where I am, time in that specific place stops.’
The principle of stopping time achieved through sacred <Repentance> is not that difficult.
‘You can do this much just by adjusting the flow of time.’
It feels as if the flow of the concept of time is continuously subtracting numbers one by one until it converges to 0.
And, where that manipulation of the concept of time is addressed at the deepest level is where I stand.
Therefore, even if it was an attack from an ancient god, it would eventually come to a complete stop once it reached this point.
‘It’s definitely a great power.’
So no attack could ever reach where I was.
The flow of the concept of time slows down whenever I get closer to where I am standing.
And the slow flow of time stops at some point.
Perhaps, if we rewind the flow of time further in this state, it would be possible to turn back time itself.
‘… … However, this is still the limit.’
But that wasn’t possible.
Even if you could rewind time, there was a limit.
At most, the limit would be to turn back time by about one minute, focusing on where I am.
It’s not even just that.
‘… … And against an ancient god, all it does is stop time.’
In fact, wouldn’t it be best to stop time with divine <Remorse> against an ancient god?
Therefore, it is difficult to go any further than this when it comes to deep interference with the past concept of sacred <remorse>.
Not only that, but the consumption of sacred power was not that small, so stopping time was not very efficient.
First, is it absurd that time can be stopped against an ancient deity in the first place?
[Can you handle the concept of time? … ? ]
The God of Despair, Fall, and Madness stopped time and cried out in anger as he looked at the hardened black tentacles.
[How can someone as ordinary as you be… … , such precious power… … ! ]
She said that as if she couldn’t accept this situation.
[Do you think I will admit it… … ? Every once in a while, a hybrid that wields power without qualification… … . Do you think I can understand… … ! ]
Perhaps it is shocking that time was stopped by divine <remorse>… … .
[I think I’m misunderstanding something. ]
I didn’t really think about being considerate of her.
[I have no intention of being recognized by someone like you who is always looking for an opportunity. ]
It was worth it.
Anyway, wasn’t the god of despair, fall, and madness right in front of me jealous of the power I had from beginning to end?
It was different from the gods of darkness, demon gods, dragon gods, and gods of light.
Unlike monsters that were born as ancient gods from the beginning, that one lacked the status of an ancient god.
Even if he was an ancient god who had achieved a high level, he had no particular feelings of respect for this ugly monster.
[I wonder if they are real people like gods of darkness or demon gods. ]
and.
[And more than anything… … . ]
The moment I smiled and continued to speak to the god of despair, fall, and madness.
[ … … Didn’t you, unlike me, get up there just by receiving strength from TOP without compensation? ]
Just like that, the face of the Heavenly God was distorted like that of an evil spirit, and a roar that I had never heard before erupted.
[ Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!! ]
Kugoogung-!
Even though it is a cry that contains only emotions, the space is distorted and everywhere shakes.
If the sacred realm <Transcendence> had not existed, the emotion itself would have long ago turned into a kind of disaster and affected the Earth.
But I had no intention of listening to it to the end.
“The power skill ‘Unquenchable Mortal Flame’ is activated.”
It won’t change the fact that you have to come to a conclusion anyway.
[ Should we come to a conclusion now? ]
In the blink of an eye, a black flame flashes and burns like a wild beast.
[Let’s see if we can stop this too. ]
Then, the moment when black flames poured out in a straight line and burned all the black tentacles.
Jijijijijijijijijijijik… … !!
The divine starlight used the black flame as a propellant to wipe out everything again.
[ ───!! ]
And that, unlike before, in a very clear form.
***
Cheeeeeeeee-.
“The power skill ‘Ashen Blood’ is activated.”
「Regenerative power increases depending on the divine power consumed.」
“Your body’s regenerative power increases by 400% and you become immune to all non-regenerative abilities.”
Soon after, the divine starlight was stimulated into black flames and swept the area.
“… … .”
Before we knew it, the sacred realm <Transcendence> was broken.
… … Perhaps the realm of divinity collapsed due to the influence of the holy light at its maximum output.
In fact, it was possible to easily fly over a planet, so honestly, it could be said that this was a cheap deal.
“… … Still, even if it’s okay for the sacred realm to be destroyed, this is a bit severe.”
Then, suddenly, I felt my whole body creaking like a wooden board and smiled bitterly.
“… … Even though he became an ancient deity and achieved conceptualization, is it still like this?”
It was worth it.
I thought that if you were an ancient god, your body would be a spirit body, so you might not get hurt that badly.
But that wasn’t the case.
I still could not avoid the influence of blows imbued with power such as the divine <Death> or the divine <Evil Consciousness>.
‘It’s not completely immortal… … .’
And then, before I knew it, I calmed my eyes as I looked at the body that had been restored to its original state.
How far must one grow to achieve complete immortality?
I couldn’t cut it perfectly.
“You mean that even ancient deities are not without flaws…? … .”
Even if it is an ancient deity that has existed since the beginning, such as a god of darkness, there is no way that it is truly immortal.
If certain conditions are met, the ancient deity can face extinction, and not only that, the revival itself will also take quite some time.
It could not yet be considered completely immortal.
Therefore, in this fierce battle against the god of despair, fall, and madness, I clearly felt the gap between him and the ancient god.
‘Still, the difference in level is not that drastic.’
The power previously used by the God of Despair, Fall, and Madness is equivalent to 40% of the original body’s strength.
It would have been possible to exercise this level of skill because he chose the god of the sky as the divine apostle and wrote <Descent>.
But the gap was not that big.
‘Even if that monster can exert 100% power, it doesn’t mean it can’t survive.’
It can also be seen that the divine <Remorse>’s time stop was activated as a proper move.
Since they have both reached the same level of ancient godhood, their divine power is not suppressed by the difference in rank.
By using all available means, it was even possible for this one to match the power that that one had.
‘… … Well, we may not be able to win against the main body of the ancient godhead, but this will still be enough to satisfy us.’
gap.
I felt the difference between the higher-ranking gods and the ancient gods.
No higher level deity can block my path any longer, and the ancient deity is not that far away.
‘I feel like I’m finally getting the right reference point.’
Perhaps, if the time comes to climb to the second half of the 30th floor of the tower, I might be able to reach the same level as ancient deities such as the God of Darkness.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
As I thought about the moment when that happened, a smile automatically came to my face.
The growth itself was nothing short of amazing.
Perhaps, after clearing the trials on the 26th floor, there was a possibility that he would become strong enough to propose a deal to Top, as was the best move.
Although they may not be like the top-tier strongmen among ancient deities, if the minimum transaction with the tower becomes possible, a new horizon will truly open up.
‘then… … , we can change the future on the 27th floor.’
And that was when I was continuing my thoughts.
[ Ha ha ha ha ha… … . ]
Suddenly, I heard a voice from below and looked down to see a familiar face.
[Lucky… … , Feel so good… … , Throw away… … . ]
The god of despair, fall, and madness, wearing the shell of a heavenly god, was there.
She spit out black blood and gave an alien laugh.
To the point where I felt a sense of disconnect from my previous anger.
[But this is not the end… … . ]
And it wasn’t long before I figured out why she reacted this way.
[I will appear until you take what was given to you… … . ]
In fact, it is a promise for the future of the god of despair, fall, and madness.
[There are still many cards left that can be used… … . ]
“… … .”
[Whether it is the tower or the earth… … . Again and again and again. I won’t give up until you take what’s given to you… … . ]
“Anyway.”
But it didn’t really matter.
“Anyway, if you get rid of it every time it comes, that’s the end.”
That’s right… … .
“And if they come, that’s a good thing.”
Because I have something to gain from the battle with the ancient deity.
“To be honest, I should have at least a packed lunch to soothe my appetite.”
In effect, doesn’t this mean that they are giving you a free opportunity to acquire divinity through necromancy?
[A lunch box… … ? What is that? ]
“So, see you later.”
I had no intention of explaining the meaning of these words, so I said goodbye right away.
Quad de-.
[ … … Wow! ]
He pulled out the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and struck the final blow to her heart.
Then, in the blink of an eye, a black mist-like mark flowed out and was then absorbed into me.
As before, as soon as the command was absorbed, a system message appeared, announcing the possibility of growth.
「Absorbed the spirit of the sky god ‘Cielo’@$#&… … .」
however… … .
‘uh?’
It was heterogeneous.
“What is this again… … ?”
The system message that suddenly appeared before my eyes was slightly different from the ones I had seen before.
“Final conditions satisfied.”
“The effect of <Divinity Rise> inherent in the myth <Possibility of Transcendence> evolves into the final ability.”
“The effect of <Divinity Rise> inherent in the myth <Possibility of Transcendence> changes to reaching [Transcendence].”
and.
‘No way, this… … .’
The meaning of the system message expressed by the myth <Possibility of Transcendence> was as follows.
“What is this?”
It’s not enough that he has now become an ancient god… … .
“Challenger Han Seong-yoon is 1% closer to [transcendence] by winning against the divine apostle.”
… … I can definitely surpass that.
“therefore… … .”
The possibility of being reborn as the only transcendent person in the universe.
“I can even surpass the level of ancient godhood… … ?”
That was the final ability of Shinhwa’s <Possibility of Transcendence>.
