Overwhelming divine light fell from the sky in a straight line to the earth, giving off an enormous presence.
Even if they were powerful people called ancient gods in this universe, there would not be many beings who could spread the status of divinity to that level.
Even if it wasn’t a system message that appeared in front of my eyes, I would have already figured out what kind of thing it was.
「… … .」
“The Dragon God activates the special divine power ‘Incarnation’ and appears on the Western Front.”
“The Dragon God activates the special divine power ‘Incarnation’ and sends an incarnation made of divinity to the Western Front.”
Dragon God.
Even among the lords of this universe, who transformed themselves into divinity and concepts themselves, and whose hierarchy of divinity reached immortality, she was regarded as a being with unconventional power.
That’s right, the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God are all like the living history of the universe that has been alive for some time, even among ancient gods.
‘What the heck…’ … .’
I was sobbing as I watched a sandstorm occur due to the overwhelming force of divinity on the Western Front, which had been transformed into a desert while the gods were fighting.
‘What on earth happened?’
It is a power that goes beyond common sense.
Originally, all of the higher deities and formal deities that we saw used incarnations, and when they appeared somewhere, they had to use only much weaker powers than the main deities.
Moreover, even after becoming an ancient deity known as the lord of this universe, unlike the main body, the incarnation would only be able to handle power below a certain level.
‘What is this… … .’
But… … .
‘It is possible for an incarnation made up of a mere portion of the power of a dragon god to spread such a powerful presence… … ?’
So what is that?
Dudduddu───!
It’s just that the overwhelming light of divinity creates an incarnation that resembles the main body of the Dragon God, but it can spread such an enormous presence and intimidation… … .
‘I’m going to be amazed… … .’
Doesn’t that mean that the incarnation of the Dragon God that appeared in the middle of the Western Front actually surpasses the power of most ancient gods?
‘There’s definitely something wrong somewhere.’
In an instant, reason and instinct came to the same answer.
‘In original history, it is unlikely that a dragon god would suddenly appear on the Western Front during the War of the Gods.’
In fact, it was felt that the fact that the Dragon God was about to appear as an incarnation on the Western Front was a departure from the original history in many ways.
‘If I had not existed in this war of gods as I do now, when monsters such as gods of darkness, demons, or dragon gods participated, the orderly camp would have been defeated without even being able to resist.’
There is no way that the God of Creation, the God of Law, or the God of Miracles could withstand a disaster like this.
‘There is a high possibility that the reason the Dragon God has appeared on the Western Front right now is because of me, and not somewhere else in particular.’
It’s not even just that.
‘Why and for what reason the Dragon God appeared on the Western Front so suddenly, I can’t even guess.’
At first glance, there is no reason why the Dragon God would appear in incarnation on this western front.
‘shit… … .’
It was difficult to guess where and how the twist in the story that diverged from the original history began.
━In the first place, if each of those ancient deities were monsters that carved their own divinity and concepts into the universe, wouldn’t they know that they themselves are ‘fake’?
Is that why?
━Are you sure you will never notice that this fake world created by the Tower of Trials is a cage made just for you?
Suddenly, I remembered the story Dam Cheon-woo told me.
━As time passes, even a small action like flapping a butterfly’s wings can change more than you think.
… … Butterfly effect.
―Whether it will be good for you or bad for you, we cannot say for sure.
At a time when even the ancient gods were perfectly recreated in the stage created by the Tower of Trials, everything may have gone wrong.
―However, if the Tower of Trials does something like this to you, there will inevitably be corresponding hardships and hardships.
Somehow, now, for some reason, Dam Cheon-woo had said so much, and I was slowly feeling the realization that it was touching my skin.
-That is the natural law that the Tower of Trials adopts as its principle.
From the beginning, this was neither luck nor misfortune; it was just a high-risk, high-return, life-threatening game and a gamble.
‘Damn it.’
It was confusing.
How many of the fake ancient deities created by the Tower of Trials have caused such anomaly, and to what extent do they differ from the original history?
Now, everything that happens in the future is no different from dice falling from the clutches of chaos, beyond the scope of prediction and control.
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
… … However, despite this, seeing the divine light shining down in the middle of the Western Front, it was possible to be certain of one thing.
‘If things continue like this, not only the higher level gods and official gods on the Western Front, but even I could die if I make a mistake.’
death.
The crisis of death without a glimmer of hope, which I did not feel much even when fighting against the god of birth, one of the ancient deities, is so close that I can feel it.
Well, if you think about it in terms of common sense, this person has become an ancient god and achieved conceptual immortality, so it was certain that he would not die in any case, but the ominous feeling did not disappear.
‘Even becoming immortal by transforming oneself into the concept of divinity itself does not necessarily mean that one has perfect immortality.’
In the first place, there was absolutely no possibility that this person would die.
‘For example, if the Dragon God has the power to kill or destroy even ancient gods, he could die here without even having done anything.’
There were two choices.
Currently, on this western front, there are quite a lot of high-ranking gods and official gods that I brought with me.
They would either have to use the high-ranking gods and official gods they brought as bait and run away, or go to the middle of the Western Front and make some kind of negotiation.
“… … .”
and.
“… … under.”

The moment I felt that out of the two options, my heart was leaning heavily towards wanting to run away from the Dragon God.
“… … Are you going to run away?”
Wow-.
“… … “Don’t talk nonsense.”
As I watched the divine light falling on the Western Front, I felt uncontrollable anger, chewing my lips so hard that they bled.
‘okay. The God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God are real monsters. Even if they are ancient gods, they possess an unprecedented level of power.’
I felt irritated and uncontrollably angry at the thought of wanting to run away, even if only for a moment.
‘so… … .’
Isn’t that right?
‘whatever?’
I’m running away.
How long should we continue to plan for the future like that in front of the powerful?
And how much stronger can you become if you climb the tower of trials and predict the possibility of victory or defeat without doing anything just because you feel the danger of death several times?
Unlike when I was at the Tower of Trials, not even knowing my own aspirations and just hoping to move forward, now I have something to hope for as well.
‘I didn’t even know about that from the beginning.’
Transcendant.
What I wish for myself is to be reborn as a transcendent being that not only the higher deities or formal deities but even the ancient deities can approach.
And, since there is a need to dramatically increase this power, it is natural to take that much risk in order to gain overwhelming power.
‘No more running away.’
Moreover, since even the Tower of Trials and most ancient gods cannot easily ignore the power this side has, isn’t it ridiculous to run away without even thinking about challenging the Dragon God here?
“… … .”
It wasn’t even worth worrying about.
Even if the Dragon God out there could harbor murderous intentions toward us for whatever reason, nothing would change.
As I watched the divine light slowly fading away in the center of the Western Front, I continued my steps.
“Shall we go?”
and.
Chijijijijijijijijik—!
The moment when space and space of the world come together and form a single movement passage due to the black magic used by this side.
【Folding vortex】
In the blink of an eye, a magical vortex made of black magic swallowed me up as if its mouth were wide open and led me to a distant space.
***
In an instant, he was transported through space and time to the center of the Western Front by the black magic [Closing Vortex].
Chak-.
‘Is this the end?’
In fact, beyond this point, it was impossible to approach with black magic due to the overwhelming divine light scattered by the descending incarnation of the Dragon God.
-you… … .
Is that why?
-Are you serious?
Suddenly, the blade of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword vibrated, and soon Dam Cheon-woo’s voice filled with fear and anxiety was heard in my ears.
-Are you really going to go there?
There was a dull emotion in Dam Cheon-woo’s voice, as if he were trying to stop someone who was walking on their own.
―… … Don’t go. If you do that, you will eventually die. Without being able to achieve any of it.
He spoke as if he was devastated.
―… … You’ve already thought about it at least once, right?
It seemed as if he was scolding me, asking me why, instead of escaping from the Western Front, I was trying to go deep into it alone.
―… … Even if the ancient divinity is immortal, if it is sealed separately or the concept of divinity itself is neutralized, you are not exactly immortal.
It wasn’t that I didn’t understand.
―Perhaps, it could lead to an ending so absurdly terrible that it cannot even be compared to the deaths of ordinary mortals.
Know.
―Still, are you saying you want to go there?
In fact, as Dam Cheon-woo said, if I lost the fight without even having room to talk or compromise with the Dragon God, there was a high possibility that I would be permanently sealed.
―How can you pretend not to know that you could be sealed until this universe disappears and end up as good as dead, or worse than that?
It’s not even just that.
If that were to happen in this war of gods, there would be nothing more they could do, but they would be defeated and trapped until the ordeal ended in failure.
Since the penalty for failing to clear a trial is set to ‘death’ in the system of the Tower of Trials, it cannot be said for sure that even the concept of immortality this side has will not be pierced.
“The end is as bad as the worst… … .”
But… … .
“That sounds interesting.”
What does that mean?
“The worst?”
Before I knew it, I was holding the blade of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword tightly and answered in a cold voice.
“—Wouldn’t the worst outcome be to meekly withdraw from here and die without ever becoming a transcendent?”
Jeopuk, Jeopuk-.
“The pantheon would have said it. I won’t let anyone stand over me anymore. “I didn’t say that because I wanted to show off or show off.”
It was worth it.
Originally, what this side wanted was not to become an ancient god through the hierarchy of divinity, but to reach the state of transcendence beyond that.
Moreover, if you think about it, isn’t it really that strange that I had to risk my life?
“From the day I first started climbing the Tower of Trials until now, there has never been a time when it was okay to not risk my life.”
In fact, from the moment the Tower of Trials chose me and gave me the supernormal ability called necromancy, I have been fighting for my life over and over again.
“I have no intention of stopping somewhere like this.”
I was able to become strong this far because I faced so many battles at the Tower of Trials without avoiding them and faced them head-on.
“Even if my death awaits me there, I will go if I have to.”
therefore… … .
“certainly.”
If that’s what we have to do, even if it means fighting for our lives with the Dragon God, it doesn’t change the fact that we have to go.
-Crazy guy… … .
Well, maybe it was thanks to him climbing the Tower of Trials and coming together with me to some extent that Dam Cheon-woo didn’t say anything anymore.
-Anyway, you’re out of your mind.
However, after saying that, he made the blade of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword tremble once and then told him to do whatever he wanted.
-her. do whatever you want. Anyway, have you ever listened to whatever my boss says? Go wild wherever you want. Just like you.
“hmm. Even if they didn’t say so, that’s what they intended from the beginning… … . “Maybe there won’t be such a big fight.”
―What else is that…? … . There’s no need to fight? If the Dragon God had even sent an incarnation to this western front, a fierce battle with life and death would unfold… … . This is a very complacent idea.
“That’s it, isn’t it the case when I didn’t explain my situation to the Dragon God?”
I responded with a grin, as if it was scary.
“I know the Dragon God because I have met him a few times. She’s not that belligerent. Wasn’t she rather cheerful and good-natured when she appeared? Even more so compared to other ancient deities.”
―… … hmm. Yeah, now that I think about it, you were the only one who had to smile like that. However, that dragon god cannot be the same as the dragon god recreated in War of the Gods. What were you planning on doing about it?
“I will convince you.”
In fact, the fact that I risk my life to fight is only possible if I assume the worst case scenario.
“Well, unlike other ancient gods, the Dragon God is not that warlike or difficult to communicate with.”
The Dragon God, whom they had met for the first time in the Tower of Trials and formed a deep relationship with, must have always favored this side and showed optimistic cheerfulness.
“Perhaps if we can find a compromise where we can move on without fighting, the Dragon God side will not try to fight me too hard.”
In short, fighting the Dragon God was something that would happen in the end.
Perhaps the incarnation of the Dragon God that appeared on the Western Front will somehow be able to overcome it at least once if we try to persuade and compromise through several conversations.
In my opinion, her cheerfulness and sanity were something that even the most exciting demons could not compare to.
“Dragon God. She’s not that bad. “She is like a benefactor who has given me a lot.”
But… … .
“There is no way that kind-hearted dragon god would just see me and try to kill me without question and answer… … .”
It was then.
「… … .」
Before the system message could appear before my eyes, something bright blue thundered down from the sky and exploded beyond my vision.
───!
“Divine <Thunder Rain> is activated, shooting out a rain of thunder that causes permanent damage to the concept of divinity.”
Supersonic speed.
The moment I became convinced that just by being touched by the raindrops of thunder made up of the supernormal abilities of that divinity, the concepts of divinity within my body would be shattered.
In fact, a thunderstorm so fast that even some of the ancient gods, let alone quite a few higher-ranking gods, could not react, in fact it was so fast, almost at the speed of light, that it passed by the side of the head, drawing a single line.
—.
Even the sound resonates very late.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
So far, I have only managed to avoid it by using necromancy and all the overwhelming ability values accumulated through numerous skills and powers.
‘ah?’
Doesn’t that mean that if we had reacted even one step later, we would have been hit directly by the thunder that shattered the concept of divinity and would have suffered permanent damage to our divinity, if not death?
‘What is this… … .’
and.
‘Preemptive strike?’
On this western front, there is probably only one person who can push me, one of the ancient gods, to this level.
Gooooooooooooooooooo-!!
Chak-.
In response, I looked at the being who had descended from the sky to the earth in a short period of time and had completed landing, creating an enormous hierarchy of divinity.
“… … .”
A silver-haired girl with two horns growing on her forehead like a mythical dragon, giving off an incredibly familiar atmosphere, was looking at me as she lightly came down from the air.
‘What the heck…’ … .’
That means only one thing.
“The Dragon God looks at you with eyes mixed with cold anger.”
[ … … you. That’s disrespectful. Why have you been running here from so far away, squinting at me like that? I feel bad. ]
It was simple.
[ … … Don’t make that pathetic face that makes you want to act like you’re annoying and just get out of the way. ]
The dragon god in front of us has a nature that is completely different from the dragon god we know.
[ … … I’m exhausted. ]
The arrogance and weariness unique to any absolute person, which stems purely from the overwhelming status of divinity and the power that comes with it, flow out in a way that cannot be hidden.
[ … … I especially don’t want to have any interest or interest in boring, boring, and weak people like you. ]
That’s not all.
[ … … I’ll give you 10 seconds. Move. And don’t ever appear in front of me again. Don’t even look. Don’t even be conscious of it. Then I’ll give you my life. ]
She looked in this direction and spoke in a disdainful and irritated tone, as if she had seen some kind of dirty insect flying around.
[However, if you do not listen to me and do not get out of the way after 10 seconds, you will pay a price worthy of your punishment. ]
In a similar way, this is no different from a person sometimes frowning upon seeing insects like ants tangled in the street, or not being interested or interested in them.
[A trivial, short-lived species. ]
“… … .”
Realized.
‘ah-.’
Persuasion or compromise… … .
It was nonsense.
In fact, unlike the dragon gods I know in the outside world, that dragon god is so authoritative and arrogant that he is not even someone I can communicate with.
At the moment I noticed this, I vaguely realized that the worst-case scenario was about to unfold in this center of the Western Front.
‘The scenario I thought was the worst from the beginning is coming true… … .’
It was simple.
Originally, one of the three ancient deities who were said to be the lords of this universe and had no rivals would have been the Dragon God.
At this moment, I was faced with the fate of having to survive and win at the same time against a real monster with overwhelming power even among ancient deities.
‘shit… … .’
Damn it.
