403. Proof of transcendence (4)
In an instant, system messages appear in your field of view.
“The achievement ‘Killing the Ancient Godhead’ has been achieved.”
“Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased reward] is automatically activated when the conditions are met.”
“The reward level obtained from achievements increases from [SSS level] to [SSS+ level].”
「Acquire the deity-exclusive power ‘Pure Death Seeker (SSS+).」
Achievement rewards.
As always… … .
It let me know that I had achieved a new achievement and received a new reward.
‘What is this… … .’
That’s also huge.
‘It’s a power exclusive to godhood.’
It is truly an unexpected compensation.
After all, the god-specific authority obtained as an achievement reward while climbing the Tower of Trials has monstrous supernormal abilities.
For example, one of them, ‘List’, can forcibly erode living creatures within a certain range into sacred <death>.
Without any exception.
‘This… … .’
Then, the newly acquired power exclusive to the godhead, ‘Pure Death Seeker (SSS+)’, wouldn’t be that different.
‘It’s awesome.’
Just like that, my eyes brightened with anticipation.
Would you say it feels like finding a treasure chest?
However, just for a moment.
「… … .」
As I watched the system messages continue, I realized that there was no time to get lost in thought.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo.
It’s no different… … .
“I have absorbed the spirit of ‘Dirmoa’, the god of reproduction.”
“Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s victory against the ancient god made him 21% closer to [transcendence].”
「As a special reward according to <Divinity Rise>, you will obtain the exclusive effect ‘Chaos Hunter (SS+)’.”
“From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon’s level of divinity will increase by +10% every time he faces an ancient deity.”
After the myth <Possibility of Transcendence> and the supernormal abilities of Necromancy were activated, the rewards of victory were flowing in endlessly.
───.
It was simple.
Not the lowest rank among the ancient gods, but the highest rank among the ancient gods.
At this moment, I have reached a level that only a few ancient gods have achieved, near the top among the many ancient gods.
‘really… … .’
and… … .
‘Now we’ve come this far.’
That means only one thing.
「… … .」
「The grade of the power ‘Sacred Power (S)’ increases to the grade of ‘Sacred Power (S+)’.」
“The power ‘Divine Power (S+)’ is partially assimilated into the user’s unique characteristics, allowing divinity to interfere with the soul of life itself.”
I have proven that I am the only gemstone of transcendence in the universe that can go beyond the ancient godhead.
「… … .」
“Final conditions satisfied.”
“Divine <Transcendence> is applied to the unique characteristic ‘Necromancy’.”
「The mastery of the unique characteristic ‘Necromancy’ increases by 10%.」
And that too perfectly.
***
At this point, there is no need to even think deeply about how great a feat and growth you have achieved.
“Many ancient gods react strongly to what you have accomplished!”
“Many ancient gods react strongly to what you have accomplished… … !」
“Many ancient gods are fiercely opposed to what you have achieved… … !」
It was worth it.
“… … .”
Before I knew it, beyond the sky, many ancient deities were flashing their divinity like starlight, giving me a sense of what level this side had reached.
‘It’s noisy.’
Could it be that he didn’t know that I would not only kill the God of Epiphany, one of the ancient deities, but also become this powerful?
「… … .」
“The God of Arrogance is displeased with the fact that you have surpassed the standard strength of an ancient god!”
“The God of Pride is alarmed that you have destroyed the ancient concept of divinity itself!”
“The eternal god feels great deathly fear at the fact that you could murder one of the ancient gods!”
Many of the ancient deities were astonished by what I had done, or were expressing caution or fear.
‘It’s the same.’
Of course, unlike them, some of them had to show me praise, admiration, and satisfaction.
「… … .」
“The God of Darkness is amazed at what you have accomplished and wants to reward you.”
“The Demon God applauds what you have accomplished and praises you for your great feat.”

“The Dragon God is slightly surprised at what you have accomplished, and I hope that the day will come when we can meet again.”
In fact, the strongest among the ancient deities are sending expressions that are close to positive in this direction.
“… … .”
And accordingly, I raised my head and saw a number of ancient deities, probably belonging to the pantheon, twinkling with the starlight of divinity.
‘If I were to be honest, I think most of the ancient gods should be happy because I punished the traitor to the pantheon… … .’
Most of the ancient deities are angry, shining with their divinity beyond the sky, as if they had done something impure that we should not have done.
‘I can roughly guess why the majority of ancient gods belonging to the pantheon are making such a fuss with me.’
however… … .
I didn’t really wonder why it was like that.
After all, isn’t it obvious what the thoughts of so many ancient gods are showing so much hostility toward me?
“The Tower of Trials gives great praise to challenger Han Seong-yoon for his work.”
‘… … It’s probably because I am a challenger who achieved divinity by climbing the Tower of Trials.’
Probably, in the eyes of many gods, I would feel like the final weapon or hidden card of the hostile camp, similar to a hunting dog raised by the Tower of Trials.
“I am confident that Tower of Trials challenger Han Seong-yoon has overwhelming qualifications among several candidates.”
“The Tower of Trials recognizes that challenger Han Seong-yoon is someone that no one can replace.”
“We believe that there is a possibility that challenger Han Seong-yoon will reach the final level of the Tower of Trials.”
In reality, there was no difference.
“The Tower of Trials no longer excludes or denies challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
Suddenly, the Tower of Trials changed its entire attitude and began to highly evaluate us.
“The Tower of Trials has selected challenger Han Seong-yoon as the final candidate, and all restrictions are accordingly lifted.”
In a similar way, now I am no longer like a raw stone before processing, but as if I am a beautiful gem itself whose value is inestimable.
“The Tower of Trials activates exclusive authority #B-421 [Restriction on God Observation and Intervention] to expel a number of ancient gods from the observation area.”
That wasn’t all.
Ugh… … !!
Before I knew it, the Tower of Trials had spread a curtain across the sky as if it would not allow multiple ancient gods to even look at me.
“A number of ancient gods express caution, fear, and hostility toward you.”
However, despite this, some of the starlight of the nova beyond the sky continued to fluctuate ominously, expressing negative feelings towards this side.
“The God of Arrogance spits out a displeased accusation at you, saying that you have crossed the acceptable line of being like filth.”
I was annoyed.
“The God of Pride is convinced that you are the best hunting dog raised by the Tower of Trials, and so he shows extreme vigilance.”
Isn’t that right?
“The eternal god sheds his murderous intent in fear, hoping that you will no longer live and move in this universe.”
In fact, many ancient gods do not even care about what I want and only show hostility.
“… … .”
It was annoying.
At best, each response that I was just a hunting dog raised by the Tower of Trials slowly aroused a wave of anger.
And accordingly, I followed the flow of that wave of anger and parted my lips with my eyes fixed on the sky.
“I roughly understood it.”
A voice in a very calm atmosphere.
“Perhaps they are doing this because they believe there is a high possibility that I will turn against the ancient gods due to the Tower of Trials… … .”
Before I knew it, I was laughing at the divine starlight visible beyond the sky.
“so-.”
and… … .
“whatever?”
As it was, I sarcastically echoed what most of the many ancient deities felt.
「… … .」
“Even if I were not subordinate to the Tower of Trials, would people like you care about that?”
“Many ancient gods listen to every word you say.”
“No way.”
At that, I let out a laugh as if it was infinitely different and continued speaking with contempt.
“Anyway, people like you would have hated me if I had this much power even if I wasn’t a challenger climbing the Tower of Trials.”
Surprisingly, this was an inconvenient truth.
“Because that’s the habit of scared people like you.”
In fact, even if one became an ancient god and touched the providence of the universe itself, most people’s extremely weak nature did not change.
“Don’t justify yourself any longer by pretending to be wary or hostile because I am a challenger climbing the Tower of Trials.”
I expressed it purely as I felt it, without a single filter.
“Cheap plays are not my taste.”
There was only one reaction that followed.
“Many ancient gods are enraged by your arrogant and disrespectful remarks… … !!」
“Many ancient gods are enraged by your arrogant and disrespectful remarks… … !」
“Many ancient deities are outraged by your arrogant and irreverent remarks… … !」
Suddenly, most of the ancient gods hit the nail on the head and poured out their anger on me.
“therefore.”
However, just for a moment.
“At this point, just shut up and get out of here.”
There is no reason for me to be the only one holding on to my anger.
That was the moment when, with a sneer on my lips, I gathered together the quality of divinity and presented it to him.
In the blink of an eye, the divine starlight across the sky was extinguished one by one by the Tower of Trials, and a common emotion shone through them.
“So that… … .”
that-.
“The god of transcendence and death shines with murderous intent while laughing at many ancient deities.”
[ ─I will be able to prevent the unfortunate situation where I can’t hold back any longer and tear you all to death. ]
-It was fear.
***
Before I knew it, the divine starlight that had been visible across the sky had all disappeared like a mirage.
“… … .”
Then I sat down on one of the shattered rocks and caught my breath.
“I feel more comfortable now.”
I happened to achieve a brilliant victory against the God of Epiphany, one of the ancient deities, but I could not easily shake off the feeling of helplessness that enveloped my entire body.
‘I’m exhausted.’
Because the consumption of so much divinity, and the subsequent consumption of mental power, was also quite significant, the fatigue accumulated in the body could not be immediately eliminated.
-you… … .
and
.-Is it okay?
Dam Cheon-woo, who was already in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, also sent a message as if he had noticed that this person was suffering from a feeling of exhaustion.
“yes. Well, I wasn’t seriously hurt. “I was just tired for a moment because it took a lot of divinity and mental drain.”
I answered him with a pleasant smile.
―If that’s the case, I’m glad… … .
After hearing that, Dam Cheon-woo continued speaking with a slightly trembling voice.
-Now you too have become one of the non-standard monsters.
“It’s a monster outside the standard… … .”
-Even if we look at the entire universe, there won’t be many monsters like you. no. Perhaps, you are the only one who succeeded in eliminating the ancient concept of divinity, divinity itself.
“… … .”
―At best, it is not something that can be glossed over with exclamations such as “it’s amazing” or something.
Suddenly, Dam Cheon-woo was showing an emotion close to a kind of awe.
―No way, by subduing one of the ancient deities, the God of Epiphany, and robbing him of his divinity, he gives him complete death… … .
“… … .”
-In effect, you have become the opponent of the only ancient god in this universe, so most of the ancient gods in the pantheon must have been wary of you.
“I guess so.”
I responded by shaking off some of the feeling of helplessness from my body, raising my head and looking somewhere.
“Well, there’s nothing to worry about.”
Exactly─.
“Preparations for that have already been made.”
There was a bunch of system messages floating in front of my eyes.
“Congratulations, you have surpassed the 27th floor of the Tower of Trials.”
“As a reward for breakthrough, ‘Numerous Divine Catalogs (SSS+)’ will be sent to your inventory.”
“You have received ‘2,000,000 points’ as a breakthrough reward.”
“You have obtained ‘150,000 SP’ as a breakthrough reward.”
“As an additional breakthrough reward, ‘Special Ability Increase Potion (S-)’ will be sent to your inventory.”
「*[email protected]#$!… … .」
“Well, if I get stronger, I won’t have to deal with things like that anymore.”
Before we knew it, we were notified that we had passed the 27th floor of the Tower of Trials and were given a reward for clearing the trial.
“Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased Compensation] is activated.”
“The level of compensation increases with exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased Compensation].”
“The 27th floor breakthrough reward ‘Numerous Divine Catalogs (SSS+)’ will be strengthened to ‘Brilliant Divine Catalog (SSS+)’.”
“The 27th floor additional breakthrough reward ‘Special Ability Raising Potion (S-)’ has been strengthened to ‘Special Ability Raising Potion (SS-)’.”
As it was, I activated the exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased Compensation] and continued speaking while upgrading the level of the trial reward.
“It’s probably going to be quite fun from now on.”
and.
“From now on, it’s time to learn about each of the results I achieved by killing one of the ancient gods.”
In addition to the mythology <Possibility of Transcendence>, necromancy, and in addition to that, a godhood-specific power obtained as an achievement reward, and in addition to that, a reward for clearing trials was also obtained.
“Really… … .”
It’s no different─.
“As expected.”
That means that I will now gain strength beyond the standard, which is different from the growth process of ordinary ancient gods.
