The Boundless Necromancer Chapter 489

489. The Resurrected (2)

At the same time as system messages appear before my eyes, I feel a new power settling within me.

“Ancient myths are created taking into account the stories and beliefs originating from the Apostle Godhead and Godhead believers.”

“The sacred <transcendence> is applied to ancient mythology and upgraded to a celestial myth containing originality.”

“The heavenly myth <Idols of the Gods> has been completed.”

「… … .」

Heavenly Myth.

It was not a general myth, or a transcendental myth influenced by the divine <transcendence>, but a new power that had never been seen before.

Is it because he suddenly gained a new power called the heavenly myth <Idol of the Gods> at a completely unexpected time?

‘What is this again?’

Embarrassment outweighed joy.

Lately, it has been considered the time to create a general myth or a transcendental myth… … .

I never thought that I would gain such unprecedented new power as soon as I returned to the Tower of Trials.

“… … .”

There is no guess.

Why has it now acquired a new power called celestial mythology rather than general mythology or transcendental mythology?

I thought that maybe it was because of what I had done on my way to ascend to heaven and become a transcendent, but the answer came from a different place.

―… … ah. I remember. Is this what it was like back then? That’s the power you gained when you became an ancient god.

Suddenly, from within the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword, Dam Cheon-woo spoke as if he knew what this was.

“… … That’s what it was back then. Do you know what that is? “I think I’m seeing it for the first time now.”

-Well, it happened quite a long time ago, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable to forget it. I also wonder why I’m getting it now… … . I remember.

“Don’t waste time and tell me the right answer.”

-Tsk. I was planning on letting you know without much prompting. You always add things you don’t need to say. It’s simple. That is an ancient myth that only immortals who have become ancient gods can obtain. Well, it was somewhat modified.

“ah.”

At this point, I also realized why I got this heavenly myth.

‘… … I remembered.’

It’s no different… … .

『Designation of Apostle Godhood』

『Category: Ancient』

『Grade: SSS-』

『A qualification that only ancient gods who are worshiped by gods can have.』

『Even if he is a god, he can be made an apostle. And, if the conditions are met, a believer who is not a god can be made into an ‘apostle of godhood.’ If you wish, you can reach the level of compulsory godhood by bestowing one of the divinity possessed by ancient godhood.』

『The more gods are worshiped, the more directly they can help the ‘Apostle Godhead’ reach the compulsory level of godhood. Myths created through faith received from the godhead are classified as ‘ancient myths’ and are created only through faith gained through the worship of the godhead.』

‘… … This was it.’

Apostolic Godhead designation (SSS-).

In the past, it was the power obtained by satisfying the acquisition conditions on the battlefield of the gods, and it was the power that allowed one to create an apostle godhead.

This power, which allows ordinary believers to forcibly create the Apostle Godhead, also had a function that allowed them to obtain the ability called Ancient Myth through faith generated through worship of the Godhead.

‘… … ‘I guess that’s why.’

The questions that had filled my mind disappeared all at once.

━Divinity <Transcendence> is applied to ancient mythology and is upgraded to a heavenly myth with originality.

It was simple.

By making the God of Honor, one of the higher deities, the Apostle Godhead, the amount of faith received from the gods has reached a certain level.

As if that were not enough, the power of ancient mythology, first obtained through the divine <Transcendence>, was transformed into a celestial mythology and took on a higher level of status.

‘Should I think of it as something like a transcendent myth?’

If we were to be specific, transcendence mythology is also a power influenced by the divine <transcendence>, so it can be seen as belonging to a similar category to heavenly mythology.

‘I never thought I would gain new powers now, but it’s surprising.’

Why have I now gained the power of ancient mythology and the heavenly mythology beyond that?

Once he also knew the cause of the phenomenon, it was not that difficult to draw a conclusion.

However, because ancient mythology is a power generated solely by faith gained through the worship of a deity, it only revealed its presence at a very late stage.

Ever since I began to be worshiped by many gods, I realized that it was a power that I had no choice but to obtain at some point.

‘Heavenly Myth. Is it an ancient myth that gained originality through the divine <transcendence>? ‘That’s interesting.’

The moment I resolved all the questions that arose in my head and checked the power of the heavenly myth <Idol of the Gods>.

“… … .”

As it was, I couldn’t help but smile with my eyes wide open.

“The heavenly myth <Idols of the Gods> has been completed.”

“Heavenly Myth <Idols of the Gods> are accumulated in divine power.”

“From now on, the divinity effect of <Idol of the Sky> will be applied to challenger Han Seong-yoon.”

「※The amount of all types of faith that challenger Han Seong-yoon gains through the worship of believers increases by 100%, making it easier for him to be feared by the gods.」

「※The amount of faith that challenger Han Seong-yoon has accumulated also continues to increase over a certain period of time.」

“From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divinity effect of <Seeker of All Things>.”

「※Every time challenger Han Seong-yoon gains faith from a believer, his divinity and soul size grow and strengthen without limit.」

「※Every time challenger Han Seong-yoon gains faith from believers, his presence grows and it becomes very easy for him to be worshiped by others.」

“… … Does this make sense?”

… … That’s right, the heavenly myth <Idols of the Gods> was an extra-standard power that could theoretically copy the Shinto faith, which even the three ancient deities had no choice but to attach importance to, without restrictions.

***

Apart from this person’s wide-eyed shock, Dam Cheon-woo looked dumbfounded and laughed and treated them lightly.

-her. … … Well, I see so many situations now that don’t even make sense, so it’s not really surprising. Rather, it feels familiar, as if this is normal.

In a similar way, a sense of detachment appears, as if he has continued to see miraculous events and now doesn’t feel particularly surprising.

-I assure you. You, if there was such a thing as a past life, would have been a fraud like no other in the world. Are you sure. It’s something that can’t be explained otherwise.

“… … .”

I couldn’t really deny it.

I also had no idea that the heavenly myth <Idol of the Gods> would have such incredible power.

Perhaps because of that, Dam Cheon-woo rang the blade of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, muttered a few words, and fell into unconsciousness with a sigh.

―… … okay. A successful person can do anything, anywhere in the world. Those words probably exist for you. He seems like a fraudster.

However, despite this, unlike Dam Cheon-woo, I still felt my heart beating violently and could not easily calm down my excitement.

‘… … ‘What on earth should I say about this?’

I was sure.

‘… … It’s just, literally, a power that goes far beyond the scope of common sense.’

It was truly an extra-standard power that could confirm for certain that the heavenly myth <Idol of the Gods> had not even obtained the three ancient deities.

‘If anyone other than the three ancient gods had obtained the power of the heavenly myth <Idol of the Gods>, they could have become transcendent a long time ago.’

obviously.

‘… … It’s not enough to increase the amount of faith gained by worshiping believers by 100%, but it also increases like interest based on the amount of faith accumulated in advance?’

It was a scam.

If we were to be really specific, should we say that it is at the level of creating something from nothing?

In their opinion, the heavenly myth <Idol of the Gods> was, in theory, like a cheat key that could increase the amount of faith without limit with neither too much nor too little faith equivalent to the initial investment.

It’s not enough to increase the amount of faith gained through worship by believers by 100%, but can you continue to increase faith in proportion to the amount of faith you have already accumulated, like interest on deposits in a bank?

This really makes no sense.

‘… … ‘How on earth can such an absurd power exist?’

Aren’t even the three ancient godheads of the universe concerned about withdrawing faith from believers by establishing religious groups?

To that extent, for beings who achieved the hierarchy of divinity, the value of faith was very great, unless they were transcendental.

Divinity, soul, and the power of tales and faith are great resources that even the powerful who have become ancient gods and immortals cannot help but endlessly seek.

Therefore, the supernormal abilities of the heavenly mythology <Idols of the Gods> cannot help but shine even more.

‘… … ‘Isn’t this almost at the level of increasing the amount of faith gained through worship by believers, as if mass-producing a product in a factory?’

In fact, just having the heavenly mythology <Idols of the Gods> eliminates the need to focus on collecting beliefs.

In particular, I have not intentionally created a religious group somewhere and regularly receive faith from believers.

Well, I guess there are people somewhere who arbitrarily regard this as an object of worship and send their faith… … .

First of all, that is the case.

‘Compared to the three ancient gods as well as the general higher-ranking gods, the amount of faith I gather is not that much.’

This was because I was purely focused on becoming stronger by climbing the Tower of Trials.

Rather than becoming stronger over time, didn’t you choose the path of gaining strength quickly in a fierce battle between life and death?

As a result, this side has not been able to systematically obtain the faith of believers through places such as religious groups.

Because of this, the amount of faith gained is not that great compared to higher-level gods, let alone ancient gods.

However, just because he obtained the heavenly mythology <Idol of the Gods>, everything was different from before.

It was a very big feeling.

‘I can feel it.’

Tsutsutsu… … !!

I narrowed my eyes and felt the energy of faith flowing in from outside.

Somewhere in this universe, people who worship this side for various reasons are sending their faith.

The amount of faith generated by the worship of the believers is doubled by the heavenly mythology <Idols of the Gods>.

In addition, the amount of faith accumulated twice as fast by the heavenly myth <Idols of the Gods> does not stop there, but increases in proportion to the amount of faith stored up in advance, like interest on a deposit.

It all felt very vivid.

‘… … It’s so overwhelming that it can’t even be compared to before.’

It’s not even just that.

‘… … And, as if that were not enough, each time you gather faith, your divinity and the size of your soul grow at an incredible rate.’

Is it because of the power of the divine effect ‘Seeker of the Universe’ in the heavenly mythology <Idols of the Gods>?

Every time I gained faith from believers who did not know where they were, my divinity and the size of my soul were growing noticeably.

I thought that perhaps at the beginning of the ascension that one must go through to become a transcendental person, it might be the starting point for obtaining a vessel of a size comparable to that of a universe.

However, if the size of your divinity and soul increases without limit as you build your faith, theoretically, one day you will be able to have a size of divinity and soul that rivals that of the universe.

‘If a lot of time passes, you may be able to easily enter the path to becoming a transcendent just by establishing religious groups throughout the universe and building faith.’

If he was also ignorant, it would have been a path to satisfying the basic conditions for becoming a transcendent.

‘But this is not the path I should take.’

step.

This is just a story based on the premise that this person can devote an unfathomable amount of time to becoming a transcendent.

The civilized society of the modern Earth is considered a story from the past, and over the eons that will go by until the planet Earth disappears, people build faith throughout the universe and enter the path of transcendence in the distant future.

Even in my opinion, it was not an ideal methodology for becoming a transcendent.

‘Well, if I were to live as long as the combined years of the three ancient gods, it wouldn’t be that impossible… … .’

If I had just chosen to naturally become stronger over time, there was a high possibility that I would not have become even a high-level god, let alone an ancient god, at this time.

‘It’s irrational.’

Isn’t that what you hoped for by climbing the Tower of Trials and entrusting yourself to a fierce battle between life and death?

When we developed the unique trait ‘Necromancy’ in the Tower of Trials, didn’t we have a way to become as strong as we can as long as we spend time on it?

However, despite this, the reason he chose to climb the Tower of Trials and fight head-on against all kinds of powerful enemies was because he was far from becoming stronger.

‘If I had chosen to become stronger by recklessly pouring time and resources into the Tower of Trials from the beginning, I wouldn’t have even come this far.’

The story is no different this time either.

‘Because nowhere in the world does there exist such a huge reward that comes without risk.’

High risk leads to high return.

From the time I just started climbing the Tower of Trials to now, the fact itself has not changed at all.

Even if you turn your back on risk and move forward on a path without responsibility, you will slowly begin to sink into the swamp of tranquility and one day you will pay the price of complacency.

‘There’s no need for that.’

Because I know this better than anyone else, I have set aside a path that I can walk comfortably by obtaining the heavenly mythology <Idols of the Gods>.

‘I just have to go my own way.’

As my thoughts came to an end, even the slightest hesitation was immediately blown away like the wind.

‘Even the fact that I acquired powers beyond the standard of the heavenly myth <Idol of the Gods> was ultimately because I was immersed in complacency and did not take the easy path.’

I was sure.

━A considerable amount of the tales originate from the Apostle Godhead and Godhead believers.

━You are gifted with natural talent and have achieved a level of power equal to that of the three ancient godheads of the universe.

━Numerous gods worship and praise you for accomplishing an unprecedented feat in the history of the universe, and sing of your transcendence into the far beyond, and of your great death that reduces even immortality to mortality.

‘Power at a level equivalent to that of the three ancient gods. An unprecedented feat in the history of space. A belief that originates from numerous gods. It’s the power I got from everything coming together. I’m not taking the wrong path.’

This is a very special power that only I and no one else in the entire universe can have.

Pisik-.

With that, I was able to easily shake off any thoughts of relying on new power and strengthen my determination to pursue my existing plan.

“That’s fun.”

Thanks to obtaining the Heavenly Myth <Idol of the Gods>, there is one less thing to prepare.

In the future, all they have to do is create a religious group to gain faith like they do now, or focus on preparing to become a transcendent by climbing the Tower of Trials instead of showing off their power.

The good news was that this was not all.

As I cleared the 37th floor trial of the Tower of Trials, I also found out to some extent what the ‘Choice of Choice’ and ‘Unique Keyword’ essentially meant.

In fact, I thought it would be more difficult not to realize the true intention of the tower hidden below.

‘A place of choice. And unique keywords. At first glance, these two seem like tools for selecting a suitable trial theme for the challenger… … . The reality is slightly different.’

Isn’t that right?

‘The field of choice and the unique keyword are functions provided by the Tower of Trials to increase the challenger’s potential to the limit.’

The reason the Tower of Trials attracts challengers from countless worlds in the first place is to create the most perfect God Slayer.

‘Of course.’

That means only one thing.

‘The Tower of Trials seeks to develop the talents and qualifications of challengers in the upper ranks to the limit to become transcendents.’

The field of choice and the unique keyword mean that the Tower of Trials is a function for selecting the challenger’s ‘talents and qualifications to become a transcendent’ and honing them to the limit.

***

Does this mean that from now on, the Tower of Trials will no longer do things like blindly forcing challengers into a corner and giving them rewards?

‘Are you saying that the upper class is completely different from the lower class?’

It has become more thorough.

The Tower of Trials also recognized the challengers who had come this far as strong and did not seem to deny that they had the slightest possibility of becoming transcendents.

It was a thought closer to certainty rather than speculation.

A place of choice. And unique keywords.

They are literally a device used by the Tower of Trials to stimulate the potential of upper-class challengers to the limit and develop them into transcendents.

There was no possibility that their thinking was wrong.

‘I’m starting to understand.’

The Tower of Trials is a ‘Choice of Choice’ and a ‘Unique Keyword’

The goal is to more efficiently develop the potential of the challenger.

━Displays a total of 17 ‘unique keywords’ owned by challenger Han Seong-yoon by exclusive authority #G-1047 [Choice of Choice].

‘In the past, when I activated the Field of Choice and looked into the unique keywords I had, I was told that I had a total of 17 unique keywords.’

How many unique keywords do high-tier challengers who have climbed the Tower of Trials typically have?

Since it was something I wasn’t particularly interested in, I couldn’t find out how many unique keywords a typical(?) upper-tier challenger had.

However, apart from that, it is possible to guess if the Tower of Trials categorizes unique keywords into qualifications and talents to become a transcendent as a way to increase the possibility of becoming a transcendent through the field of selection.

‘Even a challenger who has ascended the Tower of Trials to a higher level usually does not have 17 qualifications or talents to become a transcendent.’

If we are to be honest, it is highly likely that this is a non-standard case that is different from the normal case.

That’s right, even if you set the minimum conditions for qualifications and talents to become a transcendent and categorize them, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to find many of them.

The fact that the Tower of Trials limits the number of unique keywords and trial themes that can be selected as a field of choice to three at a time also adds to the basis for the inference.

‘The possibility that the guess is wrong is not very high, but if you still don’t know and have to face the integration test later, it wouldn’t be too late to go and ask the people involved.’

Well, for a total of 17 ‘unique keywords’ that we have identified as a venue for selection, the official names of the unique keywords, let alone the evidence on which the guess is based, are probably obscured by black boxes or noise.

Because of that, I also have no way of properly finding out what those unique keywords mean and symbolize right now… … .

It wasn’t a big problem.

‘If you continue to specify unique keywords and clear the trials as a field of choice, you will be able to get a feel for it.’

obviously.

Tuk-.

「… … .」

“Exclusive authority #G-1047 [Choice of Choice] is automatically activated when the conditions are met.”

“Exclusive authority #G-1047 [Choice of Choice] presents three options based on challenger Han Seong-yoon’s ‘unique keyword’.”

「When you choose one of the three options through exclusive authority #G-1047 [Choice of Choice], you can confirm the ‘Ordeal Theme’.”

There is a lot of time left.

“Choose one of three options.”

“One. The Flame of Destruction■」

“2. Beatle■ mania?”

「3. Chaotic ■$」

For some reason, wouldn’t it be possible to learn about the unique keywords hidden in the Tower of Trials one by one by activating the Field of Choice?

‘It’s not difficult.’

If so, it is very simple.

Hold-.

“Selection complete.”

“A voluntary selection of the ordeal theme was made.”

“According to the unique keyword ‘Chaos ■$’, the trial theme has been confirmed as ‘The Demon King’s Vessel Embracing Chaos.’”

Final layer.

All you have to do is find out everything yourself through trials until you reach the top of the growth stage that the Tower of Trials has prepared for challengers.

If you can figure out most of the qualifications and talents that this person has to become a transcendent, that in itself will be a great help in preparing to become a transcendent.

‘Let’s go without wasting time.’

By clearing the 37th floor ordeal of the Tower of Trials, I had clearly established how to attack each layer and how to identify unique keywords.

Ok.

therefore… … .

“You will enter the 38th floor of the Tower of Trials.”

「Difficulty – Difficult」

“The theme of the trial is ‘The Demon King’s Vessel Embracing Chaos.’”

“I hope that there will be a satisfactory result after the asceticism chosen by the challenger.”

“shall we start.”

This meant that from now on, we would climb to the final floor at the fastest speed we could achieve without wasting time.
