467. Destiny (4)
God of darkness.
One of the cosmic lords, the three ancient gods, stood before me.
Even if this side had robbed the sacred <Demon God> with the relic ‘Unwavering Faith (EX)’, the difference in skill between them was by no means small.
‘… … Of the three ancient gods, I have faced the Demon God and the Dragon God, but both were formidable opponents.’
It was certain.
‘… … So, the God of Darkness would also have an incredible level of strength close to that of a Demon God, a Dragon God, or even higher.’
The demon god and the dragon god.
I faced two of the three ancient gods, but none of them were weak or below expectations.
Perhaps the God of Darkness standing before us is an unknown being who may be the strongest of the three ancient gods.
‘If you think about how he was overwhelmed by the God of Darkness with his divine supernormal ability earlier without any time to resist, you can guess the approximate level of his strength.’
Moreover, since this side already had the experience of being unilaterally defeated by the God of Darkness, they were able to gauge the strength of their opponent to some extent.
‘Probably, like the Demon God and the Dragon God, they also have many special abilities related to special moves, survival, or defense.’
Yes.
The three ancient gods had the power to ‘definitely’ defeat the opponent or prevent a life-threatening crisis like my sacred <Victory> and my divine <Blessed Protection>.
The God of Darkness also has not only the divine <darkness> but also divine supernormal abilities that contain various conceptual supernormal abilities, so there are more than one area to be wary of.
‘… … You can use Divine <Victory> since you have entered a new battle phase, but you cannot use abilities such as Holy <Protection> or the skill ‘Last Resistance’ due to the cooldown.’
In other words, if the God of Darkness surprises and uses some kind of divine supernormal ability that is close to certain death or death in succession, there is a possibility that you will be helpless.
‘Of course, unlike before, I may have to use some of my strength to forcibly shake it off, but that doesn’t mean I can let down my guard.’
In response, I gradually raised my level of divinity and soul, and began to be wary of what moves the opponent would use.
Gooooo… … !!
However, this time, unlike before, even if you cast a special move that cannot be avoided with the holy <Darkness>, the holy <Dawn>, and the holy <Dark Night>, you will not be easily defeated because you can aim for forced destruction with the holy <Demon God>. place.
“… … “Before we fight each other, I have something to ask the Dark God.”
Knowing that fact, I decided that I had some preparations in place, so I stared at the god of darkness for a few seconds and burned my lips.
“… … “Do you think the God of Darkness will stop helping the God of Time and cooperate with me even now?”
At the very least, it was necessary to check whether there was any hope left in persuading the God of Darkness.
The God of Darkness was still buried in the abyss created by the sacred <Darkness> and was not giving any answer, but he had no intention of quitting.
As it was, I continued to speak to the God of Darkness, raising my divinity and mana energy to the limit in order to avoid being surprised by any chance.
“God of time. We do not know what the ancient godhead promised the dark god. However, despite this, I don’t think there is an absolute reason for him not to join me.”
With sincerity.
“Unless the God of Darkness is standing here because he has no choice but to help the God of Time, we might not need to fight.”
I continued speaking with my emotions clearly visible so that the God of Darkness would not think I was lying.
“If we don’t have different intentions, I think it would be better to achieve what we each want through cooperation rather than fighting like this.”
But… … .
“The God of Darkness answers with a bitter smile as if he is truly sorry.”
[ … … well. God of Time, there is absolutely no reason to help that foolish thing. But, kid. Apart from that, I cannot agree with you. ]
Things in the world did not turn out so easily.
Susss-.
The God of Darkness answered as he laid his curvaceous body, visible through his black robe, further into the abyss.
[ … … Hey kid. There is no way we can agree on anything, so give up. Lord Time, if you don’t help that foolish opportunist, my wish will not come true. There is no need to change your mind. ]
Before he could ask anything more, he answered preemptively as if he knew what the God of Darkness was curious about.
[ okay. You might want to ask me what my purpose is, right? By any chance, is this because this world is a ‘fake world’ and not a ‘real world’? To answer that part, I’d say it’s half right and half wrong. ]
Half of it was right, half of it was wrong… … .
‘What does that mean?’
Before we could even say our question, the God of Darkness gave us an answer again.
[It’s simple. It just literally means that my will cannot be achieved if I am with you. I want to stand by and watch the glory of the brilliant light reaching the highest point. It is a position that cannot be given up. ]
It was difficult to understand.
However, despite this, there was something to be guessed about.
In response, I pursed my lips and let out a guess, keeping my mind in doubt.
“… … “Are you referring to me when you say that you want to watch from the side the glory of that brilliant light reaching the highest point?”
however… … .
“The God of Darkness nods his head, feeling both amazed and bitter at your cleverness.”
[ … … Hehehe. Yes, you are as smart as a child with talents and qualifications that are unprecedented in the entire universe. That’s it. ]
It was correct.
[From long ago, I have been wandering around looking for the light that would bring brilliance to this boring world. ]
Suddenly, the God of Darkness began to lightly reveal his true feelings that he had never revealed before.
[If you look deeply, light and darkness are like two things. Darkness can exist because there is light. So, I, the darkness born on the other side of brightness, do not deny brilliance. However, no matter where I looked in this universe, there was no brilliant light that would cause upheaval in the entire universe. ]
The God of Darkness continued speaking with a rare expression of gloom.
[Once, I wondered if the God of Light, who was born in the same era, could be my brilliant light – but the God of Light could not be my brilliant light. This is because the ‘light’ governed by his divinity and concept was essentially far from the great brilliance that illuminates the entire universe. ]
Kkulung, kulung-.
Every time the God of Darkness uttered a word, the abyss shape made of sacred <Darkness> wriggled and released power.
[Because of that, even though I lived for a long time, I could not achieve my wish. Throughout the entire universe, I have seen many children with divine qualities, but they all end up the same. Rather than becoming a shining light, it only becomes trash full of greed and stubbornness. It didn’t meet my expectations. ]
“… … .”
[God of time. That stupid thing was no different. The soul of that foolish thing had a natural talent for acquiring the divine concept of ‘time’, but the end was very ugly. The talent and qualifications of the soul were buried in ugliness and even the possibility of becoming brilliant was lost. ]
“… … But, are you saying I’m different?”
[That’s right. ]
The God of Darkness answered with a bright smile on his face.
[Aiya. God of transcendence and death. You were a gem with a soulful talent and qualifications that I had never seen before. Even if only one of the two concepts of divinity were possessed, each of them had the supernormal abilities of divinity that would enable them to become a gigantic being encompassing the entire universe, as the basis of their divinity. I had no choice but to be sure. ]

For some reason, her eyes flashed an eerie joy and greed beyond the black robes.
“The God of Darkness looks at you and feels uncontrollable joy and greed.”
[ ─If there is a light that can bring brilliance to this trivial universe, it will most likely be you and no one else. ]
Creepily.
‘… … Should we say that the God of Darkness was even more insane than we thought?’
When I heard that, I could barely control the goosebumps that appeared all over my body, but I couldn’t hide my embarrassment at the story I heard from the other side.
[ iced coffee… … . It might not be visible to trash, but it was very clear to me. For you, the possibility of developing a concept of divinity was engraved in your soul’s talent from the beginning. No matter what world you were born in, if you found a way to awaken the energy of mana, you would most likely become an ancient god with great power. ]
It’s no different… … .
[ … … That’s because your innate soul talent had the possibility of gaining the divine <death> that spreads death across the universe and then gathers it back again. ]
In fact, it was said that I was born with a ‘talent of the soul’ that had no choice but to achieve divine <death>.
‘… … what?’
and.
‘… … ‘I was the one who had no choice but to obtain divine <death>?’
That means only one thing.
“The God of Darkness has great expectations for you.”
[ -But how on earth can they say that you are not a candidate for ascension after looking at this? ]
… … In fact, it means that I was born with a natural talent that would allow me to become an ancient god even without the Tower of Trials.
***
It was confusing.
Even thinking to myself, it was not easy to tell whether what I just heard was true or false.
Before I knew it, I had a slightly dazed expression on my face, blinking slowly and replaying the words I had just heard in my mind.
‘Did you just say that I was born with the destiny to obtain divine <death>?’
Did I hear it wrong?
“The God of Darkness is looking at you and smiling.”
[It was my first time. I’ve lived for countless years, but I’ve never seen a child like you. It is the talent of the soul that will bring about the flowering of the divine <death>. The God of Time, that foolish thing, was also born with an unbelievably great spiritual talent, but even that would be insignificant compared to you. ]
It wasn’t.
‘What is this… … .’
It was absurd.
Aren’t divinity <transcendence> and divinity <death> the concept of divinity obtained by climbing the Tower of Trials?
However, just listening to what the dark god said, it sounded as if this side would have reached this point without the Tower of Trials or anything like that.
‘What the hell happened?’
It was strange.
Before the Tower of Trials appeared, I would have been just one of the common aspiring hunters.
If the Tower of Trials hadn’t chosen me that day before I gave up on everything in despair, no story would have started.
‘From the beginning, I had the talent of the soul to blossom into the divine <death>… … .’
This is an unconvincing story.
‘If I had an innate soul talent that could not help but blossom into the divine <death>, I wouldn’t have been driven to the edge like that, right?’
A sense of heterogeneity.
‘If that is true, does that mean that the divine <Transcendence> is a power gained thanks to the Tower of Trials, or is it even a divine supernormal ability that originated from something I possess?’
There was no need to press for an answer.
“The God of Darkness looks at you intently and once again fills me with confidence.”
[Is that all? Divine <transcendence> is also a divine supernormal ability that is in no way inferior to divine <death>. It is also a path created by your life and self… … . Perhaps, even if all the gods in the entire universe were gathered together, there would be none that could compare to you. ]
Even if one side didn’t nervously ask a question, the other side came up with the answer on their own.
“… … .”
I tried to say something back to the god of darkness, but for some reason my lips couldn’t separate.
‘… … There’s something strange about it.’
It was bizarre.
‘… … If the sacred <Transcendence> is the power I gained by climbing the Tower of Trials, and the divine <Death> is the power I would have gained even if I had not climbed the Tower of Trials, then there are more than one strange part.’
Why?
‘Why was it that I couldn’t obtain divinity <Death> before the Tower of Trials appeared and had to be so weak?’
It was a contradiction.
As an enemy who was not selected by the Tower of Trials, not only was it impossible to increase all my abilities due to the aptitude limit of the system, but I was also unable to acquire a single skill.
Wouldn’t it make sense if this person was born with the fate of acquiring divinity and <death> engraved into their souls due to their natural talent?
‘… … wait for a sec.’
As a result, I was able to more accurately recall why I could not become stronger without the Tower of Trials.
‘─System?’
system.
Before I was selected for the Tower of Trials, it was impossible for me to become stronger in any way due to the aptitude limitations of the ‘system’.
Wasn’t it the law of the world that seemed to basically not exist in a world like Wulin, or a minor dimension that was not chosen for the Tower of Trials?
━Ah… … . It might not be visible to trash, but it was very clear to me.
━For you, the possibility of developing a concept of divinity was engraved in the talent of your soul from the beginning.
━No matter which world you were born in, if you found a way to awaken the energy of mana, you would most likely become an ancient god with great power.
At that moment, a story from the God of Darkness began to wander wildly through my mind, leading me to come up with several strange guesses.
In fact, according to what she said, if only I had found a way to manipulate the energy of mana, I would have become much stronger.
However, whether it was Wulin, one of the great dimensions chosen for the Tower of Trials, or a world like Ares, there were many training methods to sharpen the energy of mana.
‘─I am.’
A situation where only the Earth dimension meant that one had to become an awakener and obtain the system in order to refine the energy of mana according to the aptitude for the system.
‘-Why on earth couldn’t I become stronger at all?’
As I began to instinctively realize what it meant, I forced myself to cut off my thoughts and stretched out my feet forward.
Whoops-!
If I continued to think deeply about this like this, there was a high possibility that I would get caught up in the other person’s intentions and start a fight while losing the psychological battle.
“… … “I think it would be best to stop talking about useless things here.”
With my eyes calmly focused, I parted my lips and spoke.
“-Anyway, doesn’t that mean the God of Darkness has no intention of helping me at all?”
Even if there are doubts about our ability to obtain divine <transcendence> and divine <death>, it does not change the fact that we must fight the god of darkness.
“The God of Darkness expresses bitterness in your words and at the same time affirms them.”
[ okay. Child, to me, you are a brilliant light, and that fact does not change even if what is here is not the ‘me’ of the ‘real world’ but the ‘me’ of the ‘fake world’. If I could go up with you to the ‘real world’ up there, I would do whatever it takes. ]
In response, I cut off the illusions and thoughts that were spreading polluting my mind like a knife and forged only one thought.
“Then it’s as simple as that.”
and-.
“The demon of transcendence and death realizes that negotiations with the other party have broken down, and unleashes murderous intent and hostility.”
[ ─From now on, you will definitely die as a reward for rejecting this offer. ]
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
At that moment, I became a living natural disaster, spewing out divinity, mana, and magical energy like a storm, and ran forward viciously.
