458. Catastrophe (5)
Suddenly, I remembered a story that Dam Cheon-woo gave me as a warning not long ago.
━If even the fake ancient deities created by the Tower of Trials are as real as the real thing, then you wouldn’t be so willing to do so.
His words passed by in a split second, as if he was replaying a story from an old video.
━Are you sure you will never notice that this fake world created by the Tower of Trials is a cage made just for you?
A story about not underestimating the intelligence of the fake ancient gods who exist in the war of gods and who are infinitely closer to the real thing.
━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’?
… … Now that I think about it, there was nothing wrong with what I said.
━And then, what kind of thoughts and actions do you think the fake ancient deity created by the Tower of Trials will show?
I realized it a long time later.
━In that case, is it only beneficial to you that in this war of gods, the ancient gods that existed in the beginning of time have been recreated at the same level as the real thing?
In fact, there are only a few people, like the Dragon God or the God of Proof, who can show favor to me even if they have a vague sense or realization of the truth of the world.
‘All three ancient gods have a mental world that cannot be understood through general logic, similar to the God of Proof.’
At that time, the God of Proof helped me by sacrificing his own concept of divinity, even though he realized that he who existed in the war of gods was not real but a fake.
“… … .”
If so, wouldn’t the opposite case also exist?
“The Demon God is looking at you and smiling.”
[ why? Did you ever think that everyone except the God of Time would notice? You have poor imagination. It’s only a matter of time for the dark gods, dragon gods, and beings like me. It’s something you’re bound to notice at some point. ]
like now.
Turp, trudge -.
The demon god parted his lips while standing in front of the god of light who seemed to be wandering through death.
[God of time. He said that time and space seemed to be distorted due to impurities that appeared somewhere. He didn’t seem to have any intention of saying anything more than that, but when I think about it, there have been a few strange things about him for some time now. ]
The Demon God continued speaking with a cold smile scattered beneath his black half-mask.
[ Divinity. And, the soul. They both looked somewhat awkward and strangely different from before, as if someone was playing a prank on them. I don’t know who did it, but there were traces of reconstruction in my divinity and soul. When I thought about what that meant, I found the answer. ]
He spoke about what he had learned about the war between the gods.
[ FALSE. I am fake, not real. It’s not just me, it’s the same for everything that exists in the War of Gods. I knew that the distortion of space and time that the God of Time had mentioned happened because this was a fake world created by someone. ]
Even though the demon himself mentioned that it was fake and not real, he didn’t seem particularly shocked.
[The ‘impurity’ that led to the distortion of space and time mentioned by the God of Time probably also refers to you from the real world. ]
If I were to be specific, it seemed like he was solving an answer to a problem that wasn’t that great.
[Well, I also have the ability to vividly repeat and experience past stories based on world records, so it’s not something I can’t understand. ]
Instead, the demon god kissed his lips with a smile full of victory.
[ Rather, what is important is that you, a being from the ‘real world’ rather than this war of gods, possesses a power that is rare even in the entire universe. ]
Perhaps because the Demon God is the being who possessed the ‘Remegeton’ that was used to prepare for the ‘War of the Gods’, it seems that he can remain relatively calm even if he knows that this is a fake world and not the real world… … .
[It was a good idea to come down and take a look, just in case. ]
It had a negative impact.
“The Demon God looks at you and bursts into laughter full of joy and anticipation.”
[I’m excited. A being that can demonstrate a pure power struggle on the same level as me. I never thought I would actually be able to see the rival I had thought I would never find my whole life. ]
The Demon God was not concerned about the ‘real world’ or the ‘fake world’.
[In the first place, I thought that this war of gods, whether in the ‘real world’ or the ‘fake world’, was all trivial, so I thought it would be nice to end it quickly no matter what… … . ]
He accepts this moment entirely without distinguishing between real and fake.
[ Now I hope not to wake up from this dream for a very, very long time. ]
Unfortunately.
[This is my first time. I have traveled around the entire universe and seen all kinds of powerful people… … . No one could compete on equal footing with me like you. So, it’s special. ]
Tdu-duk-.
[ In the end, everything has a finite nature, so it’s a beautiful thing, don’t you know? ]
The Demon God continued speaking while lightly stretching his body.
[I became an ancient god and lived the life of an immortal that everyone envied for a long time, but I have deeply felt that a life where everything lasts forever is more terrible than I could imagine. ]
The emotion contained in the divine voice was a boredom unlike anything I had ever seen before.
[ No matter how great and enjoyable it is, if you repeat it dozens, hundreds, thousands, or even countless times, you will get tired of it. ]
Should I really call it boredom bordering on futility?
[In the past, fighting against a strong person was enough to make me feel satisfied, but as I continued to fight for a long time, the satisfaction disappeared and everything slowly started to feel like a game. ]
I felt an overwhelming emptiness.
[Ancient Godhead. Since he is immortal, fights between life and death cannot take place, so the stimulation of tension and crisis gradually decreases. And at the same time, everything became boring. Because of that, it has become difficult to feel joy in fights against strong opponents. ]
After finishing the warm-up, the Demon God spoke with a self-deprecating smile.
[Isn’t it ironic? Even though he became an ancient god and broke away from the bondage of the mortal body, he cannot escape from the shackles of fading values that occur in the spiritual world. The only thing that increased with time was boredom. ]
It wasn’t that difficult to understand what he meant.
[I traveled around the universe and often competed with ancient gods, but it was no more than entertainment. Because he is immortal. No matter how fiercely we fight, as long as divinity and concepts exist, there will be no such thing as extinction. ]
value of life.
In fact, the demon god has become an ancient god and has lost the driving force to move forward after continuing his life.
Even if you look at the entire universe, there are very few strong people who can compete with the lords of the universe, such as the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God, so it would have been trivial.
“The demon god is blatantly revealing his expectations towards you.”
[But, what about you? ]
Is that why?
[‘Transcendence’, and ‘death’. A person who possesses two concepts of divinity that have never appeared in this universe as the basis of divinity. In your power that unilaterally overwhelms even the God of Light, I see the possibility of shattering the immortality of the ancient godhead. ]
I was able to clearly understand why the demon god showed such a strong desire to win against me.
“The Demon God cannot control his excitement and bursts into laughter.”
[If that were the case, wouldn’t it be enough for me to truly enjoy the fight of my life…? … !! ]
It was simple.

[Even if this is a ‘fake world’ and not a ‘real world’, that can’t be an excuse for not achieving what I want… … !! ]
In the first place, the story itself was meaningless to the Demon God, whether it was real or fake.
[ ha ha ha-! Is it a real world or a fake world? … !! Even if you think about it, isn’t it meaningless? At this moment, it is enough for me to be here and the match I have been longing for my whole life is also in front of me! If all of this is a dream that you have no choice but to wake up from one day, shouldn’t you enjoy its sweetness to the fullest? ]
To the Demon God, all of this is merely seen as an opportunity to satisfy the desire to win and fight that he has pursued his entire life.
Even if it is fake and not real, nothing changes.
I was able to essentially see through the image of the being standing before my eyes.
‘… … It’s just that from the beginning, there was no option for the Demon God not to fight me.’
In the first place, the demon god was also one of the ancient deities, and his mental world itself was distorted.
Even if you are just a fake and not real, if you can enjoy a moment of pleasure, isn’t that enough?
As one of the three ancient deities and the lord of the universe, the being who had lived for nearly eternity was completely distorted from the very foundation of his mind.
‘… … shit.’
As a result, I broke into a cold sweat and had to curse in my heart.
If the God of Time uses a little more strength in the future, he may succeed in overlaying the divine confrontation realm with the sacred realm.
However, despite this, I felt like my stomach was turning because the demon god no longer left any room for conversation with me.
‘… … ‘I have no choice but to fight.’
It’s not even just that.
Unlike before, the God of Light, who had fallen behind the Demon God, seemed to have recovered his divine body to some extent and was slowly regaining enough strength to fight.
Whether the God of Time overwrites the Divine Confrontation Realm with the Holy Realm, or the God of Light helps by his side, it was clear that this side would become more and more disadvantaged as time passed.
therefore… … .
‘Mo or do.’
There was really only one choice.
‘Somehow exclude the demon god.’
In response, I moved forward, drawing the power of divinity and mana from my entire body.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
“As a user, I encountered a strong opponent that was difficult to handle.”
“Skill ‘Indomitable Will’ is activated.”
「… … .」

Next moment.
──────!!
In the blink of an eye, a strike was fired at the speed of light, signaling the beginning of a hopeless fight.
