Episode 498 Revive(1)
‘Adapter’.
Unlike the ‘Conqueror’, the pioneer of the Iron Blood Lord, the power of Baekhakgeomseon continues to grow stronger without affecting others at all.
Unlike the first law <conquest>, the first law <adaptation> does not expect organic connection with others or support from the rear at all.
“… … .”
however… … .
‘This is outrageous.’
It didn’t matter.
no.
Rather, it was good.
That’s because, unlike the pioneer ‘Conqueror’, the pioneer ‘Adapter’ did not have the support function to influence others, but was specialized to the extent of being unrivaled in the battle itself.
‘What’s with all this?’
In fact, even from this perspective, the law of precognition <adaptation> seemed to be a bizarre force that went beyond the scope of common sense.
When you take damage from an attack, you no longer take the same damage from that attack, or the damage is drastically reduced.
Not only that, if you are completely unable to respond to an opponent’s specific attack method, you will temporarily acquire a special ability equivalent to that of a natural enemy.
Neither of them had the power to judge based on common sense.
‘Of course, Baekhakgeomseon should have said that the resistance, immunity, and response ability obtained through the law of precognition <adaptation> are only temporary powers… … .’
I narrowed my eyes and continued thinking, but suddenly I couldn’t hold back and started laughing.
‘Even taking that into account, isn’t the law of prescience <adaptation> a level of power that can be given to a single challenger?’
Isn’t that right?
In theory, pioneer ‘adaptors’ can become stronger without limit under the premise of maintaining the activation of the pioneer law <adaptation>.
If I, instead of Baekhakgeomseon, had been given the pioneer ‘Adapter’, I might have been able to win even if three ancient gods attacked at once.
‘Well, the law of precepts <adaptation> is a power given to Baekhakgeomseon, not me, so it’s an assumption without any particular meaning… … .’
Is that why?
‘Apart from that, if you can utilize the Law of Perception <Adaptation> to its limit, even the White Crane Swordsman can stand against an ancient god.’
Thought.
Perhaps it might be possible to develop the White Crane Swordsman into a secret weapon that can even fight against ancient gods.
However, Baekhakgeomseon hurriedly added an explanation, as if the other side also had some idea of what this side was thinking.
“Baek Hak-seon ‘Baek Seol-hwa’ looks at you and smiles bitterly as if she is in trouble.”
[ … … hmm. I think I know what Seongyoon thinks of pioneers and ‘adapters.’ However, as I said before, this is not a power that will be of much help to Seongyoon. ]
Baekhakgeomseon continued his explanation with a shallow sigh.
[ Actually, when I was alive, I was not able to fully utilize the power of the pioneer ‘adaptor’. That will still be the case now. This is too much power that doesn’t suit me. ]
After listening to her story, it wasn’t long before I realized why I reacted the way I did.
[The Law of Presence <Adaptation> is a power that continuously consumes divine power when activated. The consumption value of basic divine power is so high that it is impossible to activate it at all times during battle. ]
[Even the cost of basic divine power consumption is too much for me… … . The problem is that when damage is adapted to an attack, additional divine power is consumed. ]
[ Even, in proportion to the activation time and number of adaptations of the law of prescience <Adaptation>, the amount of additional divine power consumed gradually increases. ]
“… … .”
That too for sure.
[ … … Because of that, I have never been able to fully exercise the law of precognition, <adaptation>. That won’t be any different even now that I’ve become a high-ranking god. ]
Baekhakgeomseon glanced at me with a gloomy expression, then slumped his shoulders and spoke.
[ … … That’s why. The reason I told Seongyoon that my laws of perception wouldn’t be of much help. It may look good on the outside, but in reality it is not at all like that. ]
Should I call it a bright apricot?
‘It may seem good at first glance, but in reality, it is impossible to continue to become stronger through the law of adaptation <adaptation>.’
I thought I knew why Baekhakgeomseon said earlier that the power of the pioneer ‘Adapter’ would not be of much help to me.
The law of precognition <Adaptation> is such that even high-level gods cannot handle it, and the divinity consumption value is basically enormous.
As if that weren’t enough, each time you repeatedly adapt to damage from attacks using the law of foresight <Adaptation>, additional sacred power is consumed separately from the basic cost.
Contrary to theory, the law of foresight <adaptation> cannot be used for a long time or even used multiple times in reality.
I finally felt like I understood.
‘Well, it would be even stranger if there were no restrictions on using the law of precognition <adaptation>.’
I thought that Baekhakgeomseon probably had a lot of experience using the law of perception <adaptation> in real life during his lifetime.
At best, all you had to do was gain resistance or immunity to the opponent’s special moves by using the precognition law <Adaptation>, and then engage in a short decisive battle.
In addition, there should be something like blocking continuous damage such as dot damage, or obtaining an all-or-nothing response ability from an opponent with a bad compatibility… … .
There would never have been anything like confronting an ancient deity or something like we thought.
‘Is it because the White Crane Swordsman eventually reached its limit because it could not bear the cost of its sacred power?’
I even slightly sympathized with it.
Although I also belong to the category of having a very large amount of divine power, it is only a large amount compared to other ancient gods and is far from infinite.
However, by using all kinds of abilities, including skills and powers, you can noticeably reduce the consumption value of divine power, and you do not feel that it is insufficient to refine the magic power in your body and convert it into divine power.
If you think about that, it would have been only in your imagination that Baekhakgeomseon would always activate the law of perception, <Adaptation>.
But I wasn’t disappointed.
‘But, to put it the other way, doesn’t that mean that as long as Baekhakgeomseon can handle the cost of sacred power, we can obtain theoretical power?’
Suddenly, a solution that could cover the small sacred power of the White Crane Swordsman came to mind.
“I think it’s still too early to be disappointed.”
[ … … yes? ]
“In the end, Master, the reason you can’t use the Law of Transcendent <Adaptation> for a long time is because you don’t have enough divine power.”
[ … … that’s right. My sacred power is not that much, but the consumption value of divine power increases in proportion to the time of use and number of adaptations using the law of foresight <Adaptation>. ]
It’s no different… … .
“That might be a problem I can solve.”
[ … … You think you can solve this? If Seongyoon is trying to increase the amount of my sacred power, it is inefficient. I can’t increase my sacred power that much in a short period of time. ]

“no. There is no need to increase the amount of divine power the Master possesses. “There is a better way than that.”
[ … … ? ]
“Do you remember that I said earlier that I could share the sacred <Transcendence> and the sacred <Death> to you two, at least in a backward compatible manner?”
[ … … I remember that, but I’m having a hard time understanding how that means I can solve this problem. ]
“It’s not a particularly difficult story.”
Wouldn’t it be possible to hand out the sacred <Transcendence> and sacred <Death> to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman, respectively?
‘It’s simple.’
From the point when the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman have the divine <transcendence> or the sacred <death>, even if only in a backwards compatible manner, they will be deeply connected to me through the concept of divinity.
Like one body.
and… … .
“The god of transcendence and death smiles.”
[ ─Do you know by any chance that it is an auxiliary battery? ]
That means I can deliver my divine power to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman anytime, anywhere.
***
━You can share one of the Holy <Transcendence> and Holy <Death> at a degraded level with the Apostle Godhead ‘Steelblood Lord [Canary Rugfeld]’ and the Apostle Godhead ‘White Crane Swordsman [Baek Seolhwa]’.
There is no other way to describe it as luck that we were able to share the sacred <Transcendence> and sacred <Death> with the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman, even if only in a minor version.
Well, if I hadn’t been able to bestow the divine <transcendence> and the divine <death> on those two, wouldn’t I have been able to properly use the White Crane Swordsman’s law of perception, <adaptation>?
Too bad.
‘But not anymore.’
The story changed at the point when it was possible to bestow the two concepts of divinity, albeit backwards interchangeably, on the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman.
“If I’m right, the two of you can give you strength simply by possessing some of the divine <Transcendence> and divine <Death>.”
Satisfied.
“The Lord of Iron Blood, Canary Rugfeld, narrows his eyes and shows anticipation.”
[ … … By any chance, is there more to the power I can receive from you than just divine power? ]
The Lord of Iron Blood, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between me and the White Crane Swordsman, suddenly popped out and asked.
“you’re right. Perhaps my divinity and soul status can also be borrowed temporarily. Well, the extent will vary depending on the capabilities of the two of you.”
[Oh my. in other words… … . Are you saying that I and that woman, in some cases, may have powers beyond that of a higher god? ]
“Well, even if I don’t reach the level of an ancient god, I think I can become strong enough to be a handful among the higher-level gods.”
[That’s good news. ]
The Iron Blood Lord seemed a bit excited and expressed his appreciation with a smile on his face.
[No way, I didn’t know that we, who until now had not even become official gods, let alone high-level gods, would reach the end of high-level gods. ]
However, Baekhakgeomseon seemed to be more concerned about whether he might be able to draw on the power of the pioneer ‘adaptor’ rather than about reaching the end of the higher level of godhood.
“Baek Seol-hwa, the Baekhak Swordsman, would like to download the concept divinity from you as soon as possible.”
[Seongyoon. I think I’m fully prepared now… … . Uh, when will I be able to receive Seongyoon’s concept of divinity? ]
Well, in a way, it was worth getting excited because I might be able to use the law of precognition <adaptation> in earnest, which I had never really used before.
“Well, I was thinking about starting soon.”
This side also had no intention of delaying granting the sacred <Transcendence> and sacred <Death> to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman.
“Well, unlike before, there isn’t anything you two need to be careful about, so let’s get started right away.”
and.
Gooooo-!
Next moment.
“The god of transcendence and death bestows the divine <transcendence> at a degraded level to the apostle god Baekhakgeomseon [Baek Seolhwa].”
“The god of transcendence and death bestows the divine <Death> at a degraded level to the apostle godhead ‘Steel-Blooded Lord [Canary Rugfeld]’.”
Kuhuung───!
In an instant, the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman were engulfed in golden and black divine power, and the powers of sacred <transcendence> and sacred <death> were engraved on them, respectively.
Tsutsutsu.
Unlike before, the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman did not have trouble stabilizing the power of the divine concept.
That’s right, the two concepts I gave you, divinity, don’t have any elements that need to be stabilized separately.
Perhaps because of this, the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Sword showed strange reactions even after receiving the powers of divine <transcendence> and divine <death>, respectively.
It seems like they can’t really realize what has changed.
“The Lord of Iron Blood, Canary Rugfeld, tilts his head with narrowed eyes.”
[ hmm… … . I guess this is sacred <death>… … . I’m not sure what has changed. It feels a little tingly, but that’s it. ]
“Baek Hak-seon ‘Baek Seol-hwa’ feels uneasy with an unknown sense of discomfort.”
[Same. … … Perhaps, this is like the sacred <Transcendence>, but it feels completely different from before. I can’t tame the concept divinity as I want, and I have no idea what kind of power it is. ]
“Of course. Because the concept that is the basis of my divinity is divinity. “It would be impossible to actively operate it.”
Isn’t divinity <transcendence> or divinity <death> the concept of divinity that I used as the basis of divinity?
Even if the power of the sacred <Transcendence> and the sacred <Death> had deteriorated, it was not a power that could be easily manipulated.
Rather, it is strange that the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman can tame the concept of divinity at will or immediately realize the supernormal abilities of that concept.
“Perhaps it will take me time to gain experience before I can realize and manipulate the power of my concept of divinity.”
In the passage of time, I may have had to delve into the concept of divinity that I had given and gain enlightenment in my own way.
“what. Even if that wasn’t the case, I had a place to go with the two of you at the right time, so it worked out well.”
[ … … What does that mean? Is there somewhere you need to go? I don’t know where you’re going. I don’t think there is such a thing. Am I mistaken? ]
However, I have no intention of letting those two waste time in a common waiting room in a way that is far from efficient.
“no. You know? A place to go. “I’m sure you two know that the Tower of Trials has changed significantly due to the massive expansion of the system.”
Isn’t that right?
━The Tower of Trials expands the exploration space by activating the [Dimension Layer] outside the personal waiting room of challengers who have cleared the 45th floor trial.
━From now on, challengers can go outside each other’s private waiting rooms and continue their exploration of the [Dimension Layer].
━… … .
With the expansion of the system, the Tower of Trials created an exploration space called [Dimension Layer] outside the waiting room. There is no reason not to use it.
“The Tower of Trials has created a new space where challengers can explore each other outside of the waiting room, so shouldn’t you go there at least once?”
[ … … . ]
and.
“For your information, you can look forward to it.”
I smiled brightly as I looked at the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman, who seemed stiff and anxious without knowing why.
“The god of transcendence and death is raising expectations at the thought of training the two apostles to their limit.”
[From now on, I will personally guide and train you until one of you gets a passing grade. ]
Well, the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman are not smiling at all, and on the contrary, they look somewhat uneasy… … .
I’m sure you’re secretly happy to be strong with me over the next few days.
maybe.
