420. Chapter of Choice (2)
The thought stopped in an instant and my mind turned white.
“… … .”
That’s right, the man in the worn-out gray robes in my field of vision perfectly resembled the appearance of a high-ranking godhead I had seen in the past.
‘… … What is this?’
God of proof.
During my mortal days, when I had to make a desperate effort to even climb to the early 10th floor of the Tower of Trials, he was a higher deity that I saw for the first time, and he was a being who bestowed a great deal of grace on me.
Moreover, even though they must have known that they would be sanctioned by the law of causality engraved in this universe, didn’t they even inform us that the Tower of Trials was trying to use tricks to subordinate them to emotionless tools?
He is someone who can never be forgotten.
‘… … It’s fake, no.’
So, I was sure.
‘… … Whether it’s divinity or magical power, it’s too perfect to be dismissed as an imitation created by the Tower of Trials.’
In fact, the man with eyes as clear as a mirror is not a fake.
Even every single detail, including divinity, mana, and the basic spirit structure of life, is not a fake, but is infinitely close to the real thing.
At this point, it was almost impossible to dismiss him as a flawed imitation that was only clumsily sculpted by the Tower of Trials.
“… … “I have one thing to ask you.”
In other words, there is a high possibility that the man in gray robes seen beyond the field of vision is the god of proof who used high-ranking powers such as ‘Descent’ or ‘Incarnation’ in the trials.
“… … “Why are you here?”
Barely suppressing my confused emotions, I asked the god of proof a question, but the answer I received was different from what I expected.
“The God of Proof is frowning at you, showing his incredulity.”
[ her. I don’t have the habit of giving straight answers to questions from people I meet for the first time. This is especially true for someone who may be an enemy like you. ]
The God of Proof narrowed his eyes and gave a sharp response as if he had no intention of answering the questions I asked.
[However, the reason you’re talking as if you’ve seen me somewhere before is because I’m starting to get really interested. ]
“Are you saying you’ve never seen me before?”
[ -Are you waiting for time, or are you preparing some condition to activate divinity or myth? If you don’t answer any more of my questions, I’ll take you as a combat doctor. Give me 10 seconds. ]
“… … .”
It was cold.
In a similar way, to the God of Proof, these statements all seem like divine supernormal abilities, or just a time-consuming trick to trigger a myth.
We didn’t even exchange a few words, but seeing such a sharp reaction, it seemed clear that he didn’t appear using abilities like ‘Descent’ or ‘Incarnation’ used by high-ranking gods or official gods.
‘I see… … .’
That means only one thing.
‘Now there is an answer.’
It’s no different-.
‘It’s not fake, but it’s not real either.’
In fact, the God of Proof wearing that gray robe is, unlike the God of Proof I know, a fake with no difference from the real thing and is ridiculously close to the real thing.
‘no. In fact, it cannot be said that this god of proof has no differences from the real thing. Although it is not that big, there are some differences from the God of Proof that I know.’
It’s just that the God of Proof is on the level of divinity or the total amount of divine power is on the lower end compared to the God of Proof that we know.
‘There is a high possibility that the God of Proof is a version of himself from some past life.’
In short, it meant that the God of Proof was a form of the Tower of Trials and the Supernormal Powers of Lemegeton brought about based on records from an old past.
‘Never would have thought that the Tower of Trials would succeed in reproducing beings who are officially deities or higher… … .’
As it turned out, the Tower of Trials, the Field of Choice, and the supernormal abilities of Remegeton were mixed together, resulting in a twisted result that went beyond the existing limits.
‘As it is a relic belonging to a demon god, one of the ancient deities, it has performed beyond the standards.’
Well, in reality, it would be an unexpected situation even for the Tower of Trials, so it wouldn’t be very meaningful to think about it.
“One more thing, I have something to ask.”
[ … … If it takes longer than this or shows suspicious behavior, it will be interpreted as an expression of hostility. As of now, I will regard you as a deity belonging to the hostile camp and exclude you. ]
“-Because I don’t understand why you were talking like you could kill me at any time.”
[ … … ? ]
“Isn’t that right?”
Now the moment has come to focus on clearing a new ordeal.
“Perhaps he seems to be full of confidence since he said earlier that he would kill me or exclude me… … .”
therefore-.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
As modern people with deep intellect who are well-versed in persuasion, negotiation, and mediation, it was time to talk and resolve misunderstandings.
“The god of transcendence and death smiles while looking at a higher god.”
[ ─Can you handle it? ]
That too for sure.
***
I felt a little guilty.
By climbing the Tower of Trials, we must have received various benefits from the God of Proof.
Even if you know that the man wearing the gray coat is a fake that is infinitely closer to the real thing, it is not very pleasant to forcefully convince the other person.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo.
step… … .
“The God of Proof is astonished by the level of divinity you have demonstrated.”
[The level of divinity is so high… … !! ]
Since this is a persuasion method that has never failed to persuade the other person while climbing the Tower of Trials, only one effect was clearly revealed.
[No way, this is… … !! ]
Even though I had revealed only a small portion of my divinity, the God of Proof seemed to clearly understand what this meant.
[Is he an ancient deity!! ]

In the blink of an eye, I saw the God of Proof widen his eyes and let out an expression of astonishment, so I nodded and answered.
“The god of transcendence and death shows that he is satisfied with the other person’s judgment.”
[That is correct. ]
In response, I withdrew the brilliant divine power and spoke with a light smile.
“At this point, I’ll ask you the question I asked earlier.”
In an extremely confident tone.
“Can you handle it?”
[ … … . ]
“So, what is the answer?”
[ … … . ]
But… … .
“The God of Proof senses the power you have to some extent and laughs in vain.”
[I admit it was a foolish remark. ]
Suddenly, the God of Proof remained silent for a while, then suddenly responded and spoke with an emotion close to resignation.
[ … … So, let’s leave it at this. ]
“?”
[ … … Hurry up and kill me. ]
“… … .”
Perhaps they have already come to the absurd conclusion that they will be murdered… … .
“I have no intention of doing that.”
I laughed and shook my head as if I was dumbfounded.
“I don’t really have any intention of killing you.”
[What is that-]
“I just wanted to ask you where you are and what you do.”
[ her? ]
“Do you understand?”
[ … … . ]
and.
[ … … I could never have guessed that an ancient god like you, with incredible power, would come here without even knowing where it was. ]
The God of Proof, who realized that it was true, spoke with an expression tinged with absurdity.
[ … … I don’t know how on earth a being like you broke through the sacred barrier and came here, but at least I know for sure that it wasn’t for any purpose. ]
I nodded my head lightly as if my frustration was relieved and said,
“Well, I didn’t come here because I wanted to, so I need someone to explain.”
When entering a new trial at the Tower of Trials, the priority should be to understand the situation of the stage of the trial.
“If you tell me where on earth this place is and what is happening, I will no longer hold you responsible for any of the disrespect you showed me earlier.”
From this god of proof that I happened to encounter, I will be able to find out in detail what happened on this 36th floor trial stage.
[ … … hmm. It’s not that difficult. Let me explain. ]
The God of Proof continued speaking with a more relaxed expression.
[There has been a war between the gods on this planet since about ten years ago. ]
“War of the Gods?”
[It should be said that it is not a formal battle of gods or a power struggle between high-ranking gods that you commonly see, but a great war of the universe in which most of the ancient gods are participating. ]
“… … .”
[The war of the gods is being fought on this planet by two camps, the lawful camp and the chaotic camp, and no one can escape from this place until the war between them is over. ]
“Are you saying we can’t go outside that sacred barrier until one side wins?”
[It has to be that way. That’s right, that sacred barrier is a huge barrier created by three ancient gods coming together. Moreover, since not even the God of Darkness or the Demon God can escape from this planet, there is no way out. ]
“… … .”
It was interesting.
‘The God of Darkness and the Demon God are here?’
It was worth it.
Excluding the Tower of Trials, the beings with the strongest power in this universe are the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God.
In short, it meant that on this 36th floor trial stage, you could even see ancient gods who have existed since ancient times participating and fighting.
‘Then there might be a dragon god somewhere.’
So, I was curious.
“The Tower of Trials doesn’t particularly interfere with this war of gods?”
In fact, this is what the Tower of Trials, the closest thing to transcendence in this universe, was doing during the time leading up to the War of the Gods.
“I don’t think the causality system created by the Tower of Trials will tolerate this.”
At the very least, the Tower of Trials could not have stood still in the war of gods in which most of these ancient gods were said to be involved.
[The Tower of Trials? ]
But… … .
[ hmm… … . ]
Why?
[I’m not sure where to start asking because I’m hearing all of these stories for the first time… … . ]
Without knowing why, the God of Proof just tilted his head and sighed as if he couldn’t understand.
[First, let me ask about the parts that seem most important. ]
It’s no different-.
[What on earth is the Tower of Trials or the law of causality? ]
… … It’s almost as if there is no such thing as the Tower of Trials in this universe.
