“The final victor has been born in the Battlefield of the Gods <#C9-007>.”
“In the Battlefield of the Gods <#C9-007>, the God of Victory ‘Yakharu Kadomo’ absorbed [■■].”
God of victory.
A god with the long name of Yakha Lu Kadomo acquired pseudo-necromancy.
And at the center, there was a tremendous wave of divinity that even I, an ancient god, could not ignore.
“… … .”
I felt it.
The process of the divinity of the concept breaking down the boundaries between body and soul and unifying them was being depicted.
Now, it was not difficult to see that someone out there was stepping into the realm of ancient godhood.
‘Is this what the Tower of Trials did?’
At this point, it’s almost ridiculous.
They say it originated from the Tower of Despair, Fall, and Madness, one of the ancient deities… … .
Now that an ancient deity was being born right before my eyes, I couldn’t figure out why the tower was doing this.
But one thing was certain.
‘It is true that an ancient god is being born there… … .’
That’s not some kind of flawless ancient deity.
‘But didn’t the Tower of Trials work as intended?’
I could not see the ancient godhead who was about to be born in the center of the battlefield of the gods in the same way as I could.
‘I don’t know why, but it seems like the level of perfection as an ancient deity itself is very low.’
It has to be that way.
This is because the ancient godhead born in the center of the battlefield of the gods <#C9-007> is not perfect.
I sense that the divinity of the concept is not in harmony.
And that means damaging the spiritual body of the ancient Godhead’s flawless conceptualization.
‘At least he’s not a completed ancient deity like me.’
It cannot be said that he has yet entered the state of ancient godhood.
If we were to be honest, should we say that it is a preparatory stage for entering the ancient godhood?
Perhaps it was impossible to enter the ancient godhead directly with the essence of fake necromancy.
And then, frowning, I raised my hand to the blade of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword, and then a familiar voice spread through my mind.
―… … Seongyoon Han.
It’s no different… … .
―… … I think it would be best to step away at this point.
Suddenly, Dam Cheon-woo’s voice was filled with embarrassment and fear.
-Anyway, the ordeal on the 26th floor is over. There is nothing more to be gained by staying here. So, it’s best to step back from this point.
“Let’s run away?”
-That’s not it, it’s about making a rational choice. The thing over there is something close to an ancient deity. If you fight against him, there is a possibility that you too will lose… … .
“But delaying the choice is not the answer.”
But I casually dismissed his words.
“If I retreat from here, that guy will become an enemy I will have to face later.”
It was worth it.
Isn’t ‘Yakharu Kadmo’, the god of victory, an ancient deity born through experiments led by the Tower of Trials?
There was a high probability that it would act as a threatening variable for me, who had shown a somewhat hostile attitude towards the tower so far.
“What TOP wants is not for me to resign from here.”
It’s not even just that.
“Perhaps the tower wants me to prove it.”
Is it because the tower realized why I had been summoned to the battlefield of the gods under the pretext of an ordeal?
“I am not an ancient god born in a mere laboratory, but I am an attractive candidate for The Top.”
A truly blatant provocation.
At this point, I can no longer consider retreating.
If T.O.P. continues like this and backs down from its unseemly actions, it will have to bear the blowback.
That’s why, as I looked at the place where ancient gods were born, I showed a wry smile as if responding to Toph’s trick.
“And above all, it will be a good stage for me.”
-you… … .
“You know? “What did I get from this place?”
―No way, are you planning to use that here…? … ?
“For now.”
Only then did I smile, holding the red gem in my left hand.
“I haven’t tried it yet… … .”
It’s no different… … .
“If I can use this, I will definitely win.”
The relic ‘Jewel with Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+)’ is in his hands.
“That too, very definitely.”
Before you know it, your eyes are sparkling with confidence in victory.
***
A gem with deep fighting spirit (SSS+).
A means that only I can open the way to layering divine <fighting spirit>.
To use it, in a word, means to crush the opponent with the expansion of power, regardless of rank or divinity.

‘It’s not really a waste to use a holy relic.’
But I didn’t know if it would work on the ancient godhead.
‘Anyway, you can get relics again if you have the items.’
So this is something we have to find out.
Is it really possible for the overlap of divine <fighting spirit> to crush even an ancient god?
Even if you lose the relic ‘Gem of Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+)’, you will have to do it.
And the place where it could be optimally used was right in front of us.
“… … .”
Should I say it is a slightly risky gamble?
But still, my heart does not waver.
On the contrary, the emotions that have sunk beyond the imagery become more stable and only add to the sense of uprightness.
“It’s worth a try.”
I felt tension heating up my whole body and quickly prepared to go to the deepest part of the battlefield of the gods.
‘I can’t fight yet.’
Can not help it.
If you go directly to the deepest part of the battlefield of the gods, the gods will be left behind.
And the only deities still alive here were those who showed feelings of reverence for me.
Even if the concept is sacred, it would be more efficient to make it a believer and then operate it rather than killing it.
‘The gods can still be used, so we can’t leave it like this.’
That’s why I sang Solliet Lelia.
“The God of Wrath looks at you with restless and shaking eyes.”
[Oh my god… … . The energy I felt from beyond just now… ]
And she spoke accordingly as if she had something to say, but I had no intention of accepting it.
“Take the gods and evacuate to the outermost area of the gods’ battlefield.”
[ … … yes? ]
“You can’t leave the battlefield of the gods without permission from the tower, so that would be better.”
[No, that’s… … . ]
“And let’s work together and hold out as long as possible until the fight is over.”
[ … … uh. So. Well, I don’t know what you mean… ]
“If you fail, you could die, so I recommend working hard.”
[ … … !?!? ]
Soliet was startled and waved her arms, then trembled and pursed her lips.
It’s as if he’s so shocked that it’s even difficult to think properly.
A moment of surprise flowed from her lips, albeit belatedly.
[Where is that? ]
Hung-.
“Wind Spirit’s Boots (A+) exclusive effect ‘Wind Path’ is activated.”
Just like that, I kicked the ground without even hearing what she said.
It wasn’t until Soliet was quickly out of sight that I pushed away thoughts of the gods.
Since it would be impossible to know whether the gods would survive anyway, I thought it would be better to draw as much attention as possible.
―Isn’t this harsh treatment for an apostle who has been made into a deity?
Of course, Dam Cheon-woo, who seemed to be unusually sensitive for a Blood Demon, spoke regretfully.
―Still, the gods and the apostle Solliet must be precious to you, right?
But I spoke clearly.
“Maybe so, maybe not.”
―… … ?
“I just did it because I was curious about what it would be like to receive Godhood as an Apostle. “There is nothing in particular to look forward to.”
-That’s such a heartless thing to say.
“I was just telling the truth.”
It has to be that way.
Those whom I have reaped as apostles or deities or believers on the battlefield of the gods so far are not worshipers.
Isn’t it just that they were overwhelmed by my power, which had reached the level of an ancient god, and were forced to come under their command?
“It is not a relationship of trust, so at this point, I have fulfilled my responsibility.”
Currently, the gods there are far from real worship.
Therefore, I had no intention of paying any more attention to the gods.
In fact, there is no reason to take care of the gods by expending all my power.
Isn’t the opponent at the end of the battlefield of the gods a monster among monsters who has reached ancient godhood?
Even if he had not completely achieved the conceptualization of the ancient gods, he would not be someone who could deal with mere formal gods.
‘If I take care of the gods, I might end up at a disadvantage by going against the grain.’
and.
「… … .」
“I hope that many ancient gods will observe your ordeal.”
“A number of ancient gods pay a fee to the Tower of Trials to attempt observation.”
「… … The Tower of Trials activates #B-008 [Allow some observation of trials] and observers appear.”
That was the moment when I quickly advanced to the battlefield of the gods.
“The [Ordeal Observation Area] of the Ancient Godhead is expanded.”
“The [Trial Interference Area] of the Ancient Godhead is expanded.”
“What is this again?”
System messages appeared before my eyes, indicating that there was an external observation for the first time in a long time.
“The God of Light is looking at you with interest.”
“The God of Darkness looks at you with kindness and gently waves his hand.”
“The God of Proof is barely able to see where you are.”
“The Demon God is looking at you as if he is excited to see what you will do.”
“The Dragon God is glaring at you, hoping you will pay attention to him.”
And I had no choice but to shy away from it.
“… … “It seems like it’s been quite a while.”
Gods who had been invisible until now because the tower had blocked observation appeared.
Did I find out late that I was on the battlefield of the gods?
I could tell that they had intervened in the Tower of Trials and made it possible for them to see where I was.
Although the ancient gods are looking at this place, they do not feel any particular sense of alarm.
‘It’s probably not a particularly bad trend.’
That’s right… … .
‘It doesn’t matter since many stories about me are known to the ancient gods anyway.’
Even if ancient gods observed this place, not much information could be obtained.
Not only that, the Tower of Trials will block some of the content during observation.
It doesn’t matter how much the ancient god observes this place.
At this point, I even feel happy to see familiar people.
‘It’s been a while since the Dark God and the Dragon God saw each other, so they’re happy in their own way.’
It’s not even just that.
“The [Ordeal Observation Area] of the contracted manager ‘Steelblood Lord’ has been expanded.”
“The contracted manager ‘Baekhakgeomseon’s [Trial Interference Area] will be expanded.”
Could it be that observation is allowed by an ancient deity and that administrators are also able to watch the trials?
“Administrator ‘Steelblood Lord’ looks on with silent support for you.”
“Administrator Baekhakgeomseon (白鶴劍仙) holds both hands tightly and looks at you expectantly.”
‘… … Now, are the managers I signed up with able to see this place?’
Before we knew it, managers with deep connections showed up and made their presence felt.
Of course, because there are ancient deities, it seems like they can’t show their gaze openly… … .
Still, it was satisfying to me, so I smiled slightly and relaxedly felt the gaze of the ancient gods and administrators.
‘At this point, I feel nostalgic.’
However, just for a moment.
‘But you still have to do what you have to do.’
Just like that, I became tense again, kicked the air loudly, and reached the desired location.
Chak-.
“Is this this place?”
and.
“The achievement ‘Secret Explorer’ has been achieved.”
“All abilities increase by 10.”
「Achievement ‘The being who revealed the secret of the tower’ has been achieved… … .」
“All abilities increase by 10… … .」
「Achievement ‘Challenger who saw the abyss’… … .」
“All abilities are above 10… … .」
‘This… … .’
The moment I set foot in the deepest part of the battlefield of the gods, where black mud was scattered everywhere.
Cheolpeeook—!
[ Is ─── the ─── of ───? ]
Something emerges from a lump of black mud in the deepest part of the place, and an unknown sound spreads.
And from that unidentified voice, I felt disgust and narrowed my eyes.
That’s right… … .
“The gods of ■#, ■*, and ■? have faced you.”
Because I knew for sure from the system message that suddenly appeared in front of me.
[ ───You. ]
It’s no different… … .
[ ───My. ]
That thing is a twisted being.
[ Is it ───? ]
In the blink of an eye, Inyoung appeared, trudging from the black mud.
The appearance of a veteran warrior who resembles a barbarian and has scars all over his body.
The moment when the image of a barbaric warrior who had gone through countless battlefields was revealed on the outside.
The dark red light of divinity flowing from the eyes of the warrior before me was telling.
“… … .”
That thing in front of you is not a proper ancient deity—.
“The god of struggle, victory, and death has faced you.”
[ ───Are you my original? ]
─That it is a fake that merely copied my power.
