396. God of Epigenesis (2)
Pantheon.
According to what I originally heard from the God of Darkness, it is like a collection of numerous gods.
In short, most of those who reached a high level based on the concept of divinity belonged to the pantheon.
‘No way, I would have thought that the god of birth had gathered a lot of official gods who were excluded by the pantheon… … .’
That means only one thing.
‘really… … .’
In fact, even if you kill every single one of the gods here, no problems will arise.
‘It’s amazing, isn’t it?’
It was worth it.
Isn’t it said that the pantheon even includes some of the ancient gods?
Probably, the influence of the pantheon in this universe is quite significant.
‘I thought there would be no more opportunities to kill many gods other than in a place like the battlefield of the gods.’
Then it was simple.
Official gods or higher-level gods who wanted to establish a new faction with the god of birth as the main axis could be killed without hesitation.
After all, they are the ones who want to leave behind ancient deities like the God of Epiphany, so no matter how many they kill, there will be no return for revenge.
Only then did a smile appear on my face.
‘That’s fun.’
Before I knew it, the outlines of what kind of reward I would receive after winning against ancient gods and numerous higher-ranked gods were becoming clear.
‘At least I can reach somewhere in the middle, if not the highest rank among the ancient gods.’
Now he was approaching the level of a god of darkness, a demon god, or a dragon god.
If you can achieve a perfect victory against the God of Epiphany, who is presumed to have similar skills to this one of the ancient gods, you will be able to achieve what you wish for.
However, that did not make me nervous or let down my guard against the god of epiphyte, one of the ancient deities.
‘The god of birth is not only one of the ancient deities, but it was said that he even stole a holy relic from the pantheon… … .’
It was natural.
It would be difficult to guarantee that this side will win.
Even if he entered the ranks of ancient gods about a hundred years ago, the god of epiphytes still has the qualifications to be called an ancient god.
And that’s not all.
Wouldn’t the god of birth be able to create more variables in battle thanks to stealing the relics from the pantheon?
There was a need to create a situation as favorable to this side as possible.
‘First of all, we need to learn a little about the god of epigenesis.’
With that, I ended my thoughts.
[Hey-. ]
It’s no different… … .
[I guess all the invitees have arrived? ]
Before I knew it, a languid-looking man who had offered to guide me here spoke to me with a wide smile.
[Now, this is the banquet hall where we will wait for the god of birth. Cool, right? Considering the treatment received from the Pantheon, it is a wonderful place. ]
Only then did I wake up from my thoughts, raised my head, and quickly took stock of my surroundings.
‘Roughly speaking, there seem to be dozens of official gods or higher-ranked gods gathered together.’
It was great.
If I had to be honest, should I say that it felt like I was seeing a buffet with a lot of food gathered together?
The thought of obtaining the divinity of countless concepts gave me a truly joyous feeling.
As my eyes were shining, a drowsy man next to me spouted nonsense as if he had misunderstood something.
[ what the. Acting like a newbie. Hey, there’s no need to be so nervous, right? They are like colleagues who will work together as a faction under the god of survival. Let’s go and have a nice chat. ]
I think they probably thought they were nervous after seeing so many gods gathered in the banquet hall… … .
[ … … okay. That wouldn’t be bad either. Let’s go. ]
I responded by giving the languid-looking man an infinitely friendly smile.
[Actually, there are quite a few things I want to know about the gods in this banquet hall. ]
Actually, we also felt the need to find out about the rewards that could be obtained through necromancy.
[Well, I’m really looking forward to it. ]
That too for sure.
***
Time passed quickly.
Before I knew it, I was able to follow a languid man around the banquet hall.
In fact, there seemed to be no suspicion whatsoever that they had come here at the request of the Pantheon.
‘There will be enough time to find out what kind of manipulation the god of birth is planning.’
It’s not even just that.
[ Now that I think about it, my introduction was late. ]
He introduced himself in a friendly manner, perhaps feeling some favor towards this group.
[God of compression. That’s me. Things can be compressed and handled. Well, there is a name from when I was mortal… … . That thing was abandoned hundreds of years ago. Just call him the God of Compression. ]
I think I’d like to at least have a friendly relationship with this person… … .
[ okay. ]
In response, I continued the conversation, roughly speaking to the God of Compression.
Since I was planning on continuing to gather information here anyway, talking didn’t feel too bad.
This was especially true because, assuming you were lucky, you might be able to get something out of a conversation with the God of Compression.
[ so… … . ]
step.
[What kind of god are you? ]

I had no intention of letting anyone know about this, so I calmly lied.
‘Well, wouldn’t it be okay if it was just a divine name that wouldn’t be caught even if I used it openly?’
It’s no different… … .
[God of harvest. ]
as soon as.
It is named after one of the masters of divinity, a concept obtained long ago on the battlefield of the gods.
If we’re being honest, it’s not really a lie.
In fact, from the moment it acquired the divine <Harvest>, it was fully qualified to call itself the God of Harvest.
[ hmm… … . okay. Well, it looks good. It doesn’t look like an angular divinity at all. Maybe I won’t have such a bad relationship with you. Let’s get along. ]
In fact, there was no sign of suspicion on the other side.
[ by the way… … . Did you say you were curious about what the gods below the god of epigenesis are like? I can tell you about that, so you can ask. ]
I nodded and asked what I was most curious about.
[First of all, I want to know what kind of god of birth he is. ]
however… … .
[ … … uh. God of epiphytes? About Him? well. There are very few people who know that, right? You probably know that he became an ancient god about a hundred years ago at most. what. ]
It wasn’t very meaningful.
[He is an ancient deity, so not everyone knows much about him. ]
In fact, since it is one of the ancient deities, it seemed that meaningful information about the god of epiphytes had not been revealed.
‘Indeed, still, there is no information known about him befitting his status as an ancient deity.’
But that didn’t disappoint me.
Anyway, there is plenty of time to find out about the God of Epigenesis.
After thinking about it for a while, I spoke to the God of Compression as if I was curious.
[Then what level are the gods invited by the god of epigenesis? ]
and… … .
[It’s pretty great in its own way. ]
The God of Compression listened to the question posed by us and answered as if it were simple.
[In the first place, even though they were excluded from the pantheon, they were invited by the God of Epiphany, one of the ancient gods, so they couldn’t be insignificant. ]
[ … … . ]
[You can roughly think of it as being on the same level as you and me. It feels like I’m straddling the line between formal godhood and higher-level godhood. Oh, there are other higher-ranking deities, but it’s not a big difference. ]
[It looks like that. ]
I nodded my head and gave him a cold look.
There was nothing special about the deities in the banquet hall in front of me.
If I were to be specific, I should say that he has achieved a level of divinity that is roughly similar to that of the God of Compression, or a bit higher than that.
At this point, I got a feel for it.
‘It might be possible.’
It was simple.
‘If we can attack first, we can kill everyone in one go.’
Before I knew it, I was convinced that I could annihilate the numerous gods here in one fell swoop.
‘Interesting.’
It’s not even just that.
Just by showing that he was curious about this area, the God of Compression revealed a lot of information without being alert.
So, I settled down in one of the banquet halls and quietly listened to the stories told by the God of Compression.
[ ah-. God of the sea. I understand that the concept of nova is capable of gathering and manipulating a large amount of sea water located somewhere in the world. That guy is strong. ]
[ hmm. God of loss. He’s quite evil, but is he strong? The concept of divinity itself is not very strong, but the synergy with the mythology it has built itself is excellent… … . ]
[ oh. An imaginary god. That guy was famous as one of the higher deities before he was excluded from the pantheon, I guess? It received a lot of attention because it could handle virtual space with its concept divinity… … . ]
“… … .”
It was fun.
It feels like listening to instructions on how to use a certain product.
As it was, after hearing what kind of concept divinity many gods have and how they use it, I nodded and finished gathering information.
[Now then, shall I ask one final question? ]
This is the moment when this person gives a cold look in his eyes and asks the final question.
[Where is the relic that the god of epiphany stole from the pantheon? ]
Upon hearing this, the God of Compression frowned and acted as if he had heard something unknown.
[ … … Yes, the god of birth must have it. Because it is a relic of an ancient godhead stolen from the god of darkness and the god of pride. Didn’t you say that when he invited you? After absorbing Skandia’s power, the god of birth will distribute the relics to everyone. Until then, no one will know where the relic is. ]
[Then where is the god of epiphyte hiding? ]
[ … … hey. That’s a story everyone already knows, right? It is said that the God of Epiphany cannot reveal himself until he has absorbed all the life force of Skandia itself. Perhaps even the ancient godhead would not know where he is. ]
[That’s such a shame. ]
I clicked my tongue in regret.
If we had been able to find out where the God of Epiphany was, we would have been able to launch a surprise attack and seize the victory.
However, this did not mean that there was no income at all.
In fact, haven’t you heard that the god of epigenesis cannot act until he has obtained all the abundant vitality inherent in the world of Skandia itself?
Then it was clear what to do.
[It’s fortunate that I still have time to eat an appetizer. ]
It was simple.
Aren’t all the deities here betrayed the pantheon by following the god of birth?
Anyway, when the god of birth awakens, they will all be nothing more than gods who will oppose us, so there was absolutely no need to keep them alive.
[Appetizers… … . ]
But… … .
[You, you, you! ]
Did the God of Compression suddenly realize that what he was saying was strange?
[He was not an inviter, but a traitor… … !? ]
Suddenly, the God of Compression showed a mixture of shock and anger and spat out words.
“A traitor?”
It didn’t matter.
“Is that possible?”
As it was, I spoke calmly, showing a cold look on my face.
“Unfortunately… … .”
I’ve gotten everything I could from this place, so there’s no need to delay any longer.
“The god of transcendence and death laughs at the nonsense of an ordinary god.”
[─I have never been on the same side as people like you for even a single moment. ]
and.
[ therefore. ]
Next moment.
“The power skill ‘Holy Light’ is activated, creating starlight imbued with divine <death>.”
Kiiiiiiiing… … !!
[Just shut up and die. ]
In an instant, the black starlight appeared in the air and spun around like crazy, swallowing up the surrounding space.
“Skill ‘Starlight Expansion’ is strongly activated.”
“All types of starlight are greatly expanded, resulting in up to 4 times performance improvement.”
Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
And very flashy too.
