Lemegeton.
In fact, it is a grimoire that is like a relic of a demon god.
I rolled my eyes as I pondered its meaning.
‘If you can read the origins of the tower, it won’t be impossible to destroy the tower.’
It was worth it.
Until now, the Tower of Trials had only seemed like a transcendent structure that could not be rivaled.
However, as time passed and the outline of the tower became clear, that perception was bound to change.
─However, if even the ancient deity could be eliminated, it would be a transcendent being.
─A person who can eliminate the existence that is the very concept of the ancient godhead… … . If there were a transcendent person who surpassed everything, the story would be different.
─That is why the tower was created by the fusion of ancient gods.
‘At that time, the demon god said that the tower was the result of the fusion of ancient gods.’
I still remembered it.
The words I heard in the demon world where I was taken by the Tower of Trials never left my mind.
He explained the origin of the tower, saying that the story would be different only if there was an omnipotent transcendent person who could eliminate even ancient deities.
‘If the Tower of Trials is close to the concept of an actual godhead, it is not invincible.’
If so, wouldn’t it be possible to get rid of it only if the true nature of the tower can be seen?
‘If you learn more about the tower, there will no longer be any reason for the tower to feel uncomfortable.’
However, it was only for a moment. The moment when the scene before my eyes began to fluctuate.
Before I knew it, I had no choice but to break out of the wave of thoughts.
‘… … I guess I’ll have to think about this more later.’
This is because system messages appear before your eyes and the space has changed.
“Congratulations, you have surpassed the 26th floor of the Tower of Trials.”
“As a reward for breakthrough, ‘Brilliant Divine Essence (SSS+)’ will be sent to your inventory.”
“You have received ‘1,500,000 points’ as a breakthrough reward.”
“You have obtained ‘100,000 SP’ as a breakthrough reward.”
“As an additional breakthrough reward, ‘Final Covenant (S+)’ will be sent to your inventory.”
“You will be forcibly moved to the waiting room.”
as soon as… … .
“Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased Compensation] is activated.”
“The level of compensation increases with exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased Compensation].”
“The 26th floor breakthrough reward ‘Brilliant Divine Essence (SSS+)’ will be strengthened to ‘Brilliant Trace of Concept (SSS+)’.”
「The 26th floor additional breakthrough reward, ‘Last Pact (S+)’, will be strengthened to ‘Last Pledge (SS+).」
As always, after the ordeal, we returned to the waiting room.
Chak-.
“… … .”
A stone room filled with only silence.
However, even though I came back to the place where I had to return after the ordeal, I was not very emotional.
That’s because, in the first place, I had no intention of returning here right after the ordeal was over.
There was something that had to be achieved and collected from the Godhead apostles or Godhead believers who would remain on the battlefield of the gods.
‘Does this mean you won’t let me do whatever I want anymore?’
But wasn’t he expelled from the battlefield of the gods by the tower?
Even if I wanted to return to the battlefield of the gods, I couldn’t go there if the tower didn’t allow it.
In fact, if you look at it that way, it would be like a holy place created by the Tower of Trials.
In response, I calmed my breathing, opened my eyes wide, and tightly gripped the blade of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword.
‘There’s no need to get excited.’
But that didn’t stop my emotions from boiling over.
It’s just that it’s become clear that the tower is not my ally.
If I were to be honest, I didn’t lose much by coming straight to the waiting room.
‘Well, I got everything I needed to get.’
It was worth it.
I obtained a lot of sacred relics from the battlefield of the gods, the various concepts there, and other holy relics.
Not only that, but based on the myth <Possibility of Transcendence>, he has reached the level of a mature ancient deity, so there is no way to get excited.
‘And as it happened, there was an unexpected harvest.’
It’s not even just that.
The transcendental myth <absolute immutability>, and gained a lot of strength accordingly.
It could be said that the skills accumulated in the heart of the ancient godhead were like that.
“… … .”
Most of the skills achieved high levels.
The same was true for the skills that had been growing infinitely slower while climbing the tower.
Skills that were slow to increase in proficiency, such as the skill ‘Last Resistance’ or the skill ‘Steel Eating’, have also achieved growth.
‘It’s definitely a benefit that my skills have grown.’
And that’s not all.
“Skill ‘Fake Starlight’ is activated.”
Keying.
“I never thought I could get this too.”
I chuckled as I looked at the white starlight that appeared before my eyes.
In fact, the skill ‘Fake Starlight’ is a power that can be considered a minor version of Holy Light.

It’s just that the tower couldn’t reproduce the star light, which is like the power of the Dragon God, so it was fake starlight and was just reproduced like this.
“That’s fun.”
It’s not even just that.
There are more fake skills that the ancient deities received from the Tower.
Skills that no one can acquire anymore because they were obtained through skill synthesis are reproduced in a false form by the tower.
But it didn’t mean much.
Anyway, compared to authority skills, they were ugly, and no matter what, a fake skill is just a fake skill.
‘I don’t think it’s necessary to use it.’
I happened to get a fake skill, but I didn’t need to use it.
「The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect ‘Offering (供養)’ is activated.」
“I received a total of 6 skills as an offering from myself.”
“The relevant abilities are replaced with divine power and stored in the body.”
Still, to what extent is this a result of having a high level of skill?
‘It’s not completely useless.’
The divine power remaining in the body has increased considerably.
Of course, it is weak due to the ridiculous increase in divine power in the battlefield of the gods… … .
Still, at this point, it could be said that the divine power in the command of the higher godhead had been absorbed.
“I think this is enough for what I got separately.”
And feeling satisfied with that, I quickly turned my gaze elsewhere.
What I gained while passing through the battlefield of the gods has been fully confirmed.
If so, wouldn’t it be time to check the compensation beyond that?
That too definitely.
「Traces of a Brilliant Concept」
「Grade: SSS+」
“The result of traces of brilliant divinity being concentrated and transformed into a single conceptual substance.”
“When used by challenger Han Seong-yoon, the exclusive effect ‘Traces of Concept’ can be activated.”
“Allow one of the divinity to be used even if it has a cooldown, cannot be duplicated, or does not meet the conditions for use.”
The moment I took out a jewel made of pure white light beyond my inventory.
As it was, I had no choice but to narrow my eyes as I looked at the divine jewel.
That’s right… … .
“Even though I used the reward increase, my level didn’t go up?”
I don’t know why, but this is because the item grade did not increase even though I used the authority to increase rewards.
‘I never thought it would be the same level even after using the reward increase… … .’
But that doesn’t mean there aren’t any guesses.
‘So you’re saying that EX-level items can’t be obtained through tricks like this?’
In fact, if the reward increase was applied to SSS+ level items, EX level items would have had to be obtained.
And in the Tower of Trials, EX-level items are truly the final stage.
Then it was possible to understand.
‘But that doesn’t mean the compensation increase wasn’t applied at all.’
Still, there was income.
‘The compensation increase has been applied, albeit slightly.’
It was originally called ‘Brilliant Essence of Divinity (SSS+)’, but has now become ‘Traces of Brilliant Concept (SSS+)’.
It is unknown what changes occurred in the process.
But one thing was clear.
It’s no different… … .
“Is it possible to stack Divine <Fighting Spirit> again?”
In fact, the effect of ‘Straight of a Brilliant Concept (SSS+)’ is that it is optimized for me.
‘Is it possible to remove restrictions such as divinity’s cooldown, usage conditions, or inability to overlap?’
It was worth it.
The exclusive effect of ‘Traces of Brilliant Concept (SSS+)’ can remove various restrictions on divinity.
And it was able to remove the restriction of non-duplication attached to the sacred <Fighting Spirit>.
In short, it meant that it was possible to recreate the power of the time when ancient deities could be chewed up and eaten in one go.
“It’s huge.”
It’s not even just that.
It has high versatility in that it can overcome most of the restrictions on the activation of divine power.
No matter what divinity it is, it allows you to activate it even if you cannot use it.
‘If I had more divinity with activation restrictions, I might have worried.’
But that didn’t really matter.
Anyway, I don’t think I can use it much, except that I can use the sacred <Fighting Spirit> again.
And even though the divine <fighting spirit> was overlapping, wasn’t it at a level that could be handled as if it were something to play with like the ancient godheads?
Then there is no need to worry about where else to use it.
―At this point, it’s beyond absurd and I can’t help but laugh… … .
In fact, Dam Cheon-woo also seemed to think the same thing.
.―To get something that can stack divine <fighting spirit> again.
The blade of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword trembled and a laugh was heard, followed by Dam Cheonwoo’s voice.
―If I could obtain one more relic that can activate the stack of sacred <Fighting Spirit>… … .
“An ancient deity could probably be achieved with just physical ability.”
―It’s even scary to imagine… … .
“Is that so.”
And I burst into laughter at that.
But even so, nothing will happen as Dam Cheon-woo said.
That’s because the conditions for activating a stack of sacred <Fighting Spirit> are very strict.
‘Obsessing on the stacks of Divine <Fighting Spirit> is not a very good move.’
There are so many variables that it hurts to be honest.
And considering the cost consumed to activate the stack of Holy <Fighting Spirit>, I was not very happy about it.
This is especially true when you consider that it is an item that will become a vessel for a holy relic, and that it consumes a lot of faith and sacred power.
It doesn’t matter how strong the last move is, but you still can’t use up everything in that last move.
‘At this point, one last move is enough.’
And while I was thinking that, I saw another reward.
「The final pledge」
「Grade: SS+」
“The essence of the oath power created by one of the sword masters of a fallen world.”
「When challenger Han Seong-yoon uses it, the exclusive effect ‘Final Pledge’ can be activated.」
“By imposing restrictions on themselves, users can gain physical abilities proportional to the restrictions.”
「※Restrictions placed by oneself can be lifted immediately according to the user’s will.」
An item that looks like some kind of old gray scroll.
‘Is it possible to achieve temporary or permanent improvement in physical ability?’
Even though it didn’t make much of a difference, it had some value.
“I think I can use this later.”
At this point, it can be said that the inspection of the rewards obtained from the ordeal is over.
“Then let’s move on.”
therefore… … .
“Special conditions have been met by absorbing the spirit of ‘Yakharu Kadomo’, the god of struggle, victory, and death.”
“You can acquire one of the divinity possessed by the spirit of ‘Yakharu Kadomo’, the god of struggle, victory, and death.”
“The potential divinity that can currently be acquired is <Strife>, <Victory>, <Giant>, <Death■?>, and <Adaptation>.”
「※At this time, the uneven potential divinity will not appear as an option in the future.」
Now, it’s time to get something beyond that.
“This isn’t even worth worrying about choosing.”
However, the time to choose was not long.
“Selection complete.”
“Divinity <victory> is replaced with potential.”
“This is probably the best option anyway.”
A possibility that leads to defeat.
Doesn’t it mean something simple to be able to get rid of it?
This means that I will only choose a future in which I can win.
‘It is literally a divinity that is like a symbol of victory, determined to win in any way possible.’
So, choosing divinity itself did not take much time.
‘There is no need to think too deeply about choosing divinity.’
However, just for a moment.
The moment when my eyes caught one of the things I needed to check next.
As it was, I had no choice but to frown and glare at the system message that appeared in front of me.
“… … .”
It was worth it.
『Unique Trait – Necromancy (SS)』
『Detailed effects (11) – ■■■. Effects can be selected.』
『Detailed effects (12) – ■■■. Effects can be selected.』
『Detailed effects (13) – ■■■. Effects can be selected.』
A heterogeneous system message appeared before my eyes.
“?”
It’s no different… … .
“What is this… … .”
This means that there has been a cataclysm in the necromancy abilities beyond the system message.
“I can choose the detailed effects of unique characteristics?”
That too for sure.
