Episode 504 Reprise Match (2)
silence.
The higher-ranking gods, who had always shown their elation, kept their mouths shut, as if they did not consider the Iron Blood Lord or the White Crane Swordsman to be equal opponents.
Suddenly, the faces of the higher-ranking gods darkened and each began to feel tense or anxious, and soon their eyes were full of doubt.
‘I guess so.’
It was worth it.
The Lord of Iron Blood, and the White Crane Swordsman, thanks to the concept of divinity given by this side, have reached the end of the upper divinity and have become apostle divinity… … .
As a higher-ranking deity, he cannot use divine supernormal abilities, and to top it off, he does not know how to apply divinity and soul status to attack or defense.
‘In reality, let alone the Lord of Iron Blood, even the White Crane Swordsman failed to show any prowess as a high-ranking god.’
in other words-.
Regardless of whether they are the Iron Blood Lord or the White Crane Swordsman, they are no different from mortals who have not yet achieved the hierarchy of divinity.
Isn’t that why they knew that, so they continued to look down on the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman and rushed at them?
However, to put it the other way, the White Crane Swordsman, no different from a mortal, succeeded in killing a being with a level of power that was not low among high-ranking gods with one blow.
Moreover, it was not because of luck that Baekhakgeomseon attacked by surprise and achieved a miraculous victory.
‘In the first place, they probably didn’t know that the God of Water and the Sea, who is regarded as the strongest among high-ranking gods, would destroy the divine armor made with sincerity like that.’
The armor of divinity is the power gained by understanding and assimilating divinity more deeply by embodying the divinity itself of the higher divinity.
A mortal cannot generally inflict any damage just by wearing divine armor, and its value as a defensive weapon does not fade even if it is attacked by a being with a divine hierarchy.
Because the God of Water and the Sea created the divine armor by partially utilizing not only the divine armor but also the spiritual armor, he was able to withstand to some extent even serious attacks from higher-level gods of the same rank.
In that case, the White Crane Swordsman shattered even the divine armor that the God of the Sea of Waters truly created with a single blow.
That too, very neatly.
‘That’s fun.’
Suddenly, as I watched the higher-ranking gods suddenly become ridiculously serious, I once again recalled the power of the Baekhakgeomseon.
‘I think I know roughly.’
‘Adapter’.
The law of awareness, <Adaptation>, obtained along with it, has quite interesting unique abilities, as roughly explained by Baekhakgeomseon in advance.
Just by activating the law of precognition <Adaptation>, you can adapt to external damage and become highly resistant to the same attack, or even become immune to it… … .
In a way, I feel like it could be said to be a secret technique that is comparable to the divinity, the concept that forms the basis of divinity possessed by the three ancient deities.
After barely swallowing the laugh that naturally escaped my lips, I kept my cool and continued my short analysis.
‘… … From the moment the Law of Perception <Adaptation> is activated, the user is granted an unidentified gray veil with the function of adapting to damage.’
Moment.
I wondered if there was a hidden condition for using the law of precognition <Adaptation> that required it to touch the ‘gray curtain’ rather than the caster himself in order to ‘adapt to damage’.
In the worst case, if the main function responsible for ‘adaptation to damage’ in the law of adaptation is given to ‘Gray Curtain’, a considerable amount of destruction could occur.
‘no… … . Not really, is it? The gray curtain granted with the activation of the law of prescience <Adaptation> does not seem to have any major function other than visual elements.’
step.
I don’t know if I should say it’s fortunate or natural… … .
From this perspective, ‘adaptation to damage’ seemed to be done based on the caster, White Crane Swordsman, rather than ‘Gray Curtain’.
So, what is the gray veil that is given to the white crane sword when the law of perception <adaptation> is activated?
‘Still, I’m not sure because I’ve only seen the law of precognition <adaptation> adapt to damage once, but isn’t that gray curtain a factor that determines the type and progress of adaptation to damage?’
The answer to that was not that difficult to come up with.
The inherent ability of ‘adaptation to damage’ possessed by the law of precognition can be broadly classified into two types.
The first is ‘damage reduction’ for the same attack by gaining ‘resistance’ or ‘immunity’, and the second is ‘response ability’ for attacks that cannot be dealt with with the caster’s abilities.
I guess.
The gray curtain given to the caster of the law of precognition <Adaptation> would allow one to visually determine the ‘type of damage adaptation’ and the ‘progress of damage adaptation’.
There are three grounds for such a conclusion.
One.
‘If the law of perception <Adaptation> is activated using the caster himself as the reference point, not the gray curtain, then the gray curtain itself is not the main function.’
This was the result of my own careful examination, as it possesses divinity and soul status comparable to those of the three ancient deities.
It has been confirmed that the gray curtain does not have much organic interaction with its actual main function.
It was a certainty, not a guess.
2.
‘Considering based on the first evidence, the law of linearity <adaptation> is that when a gray curtain has no additional functions other than visual elements, there is another reason why it changes to white.’
It was also important to connect the reason for the existence of visual functions with intuitiveness.
Earlier, after the White Crane Sword was hit by the God of the Sea wearing divine armor, the gray curtain changed to white and glowed as a certain amount of time passed.
With that change, the White Crane Swordsman rushed forward more aggressively than before, casually breaking the divine armor worn by the God of the Sea of Water.
Assuming that ‘grey’ means that adaptation to the damage has not been achieved, it is clear that ‘white’ means that adaptation to the damage has been achieved and was successful.
The ‘progress’ of adaptation to damage is determined by gradually changing from gray to a different color, and the ‘output’ of adaptation to damage is determined by the color completely changing from gray to a different color and shining.
Up to this point, it was a guess that we thought had no chance of being wrong.
3.
‘The third reason is somewhat less rational than the previous two reasons, but the change in color of the gray curtain is highly likely to mean not only the progress or success of adaptation to damage, but also the type of adaptation to damage.’
However, unlike the first and second evidence, I am not sure that the third evidence is correct either.
If we further infer from the second evidence based on the first evidence, the change in color of the gray curtain would be used to determine ‘progress’ or ‘result’.
The former inference is the same, that the gray curtain in <Adaptation> visually displays the ‘progress’ of adaptation to the damage through color changes.
However, I just thought that the latter inference, the ‘result’, might also indicate the ‘type’ of damage adaptation according to the change in color of the gray curtain.
‘Unlike the first and second reasons, the third inference lacks rationality, so whether it’s right or wrong, it wouldn’t be strange either way.’
what.
It didn’t matter.
As of now, four of the high-ranking gods remain, and although the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman look somewhat exhausted, they do not appear to be on the verge of death.
As time goes by, wouldn’t it be possible to check whether the guesses and conclusions are correct or incorrect?

Just like before, I leaned my back against the wall of the stone room and quietly watched the two managers and the higher-ranking gods fight to the death.
and… … .
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-!
The divine abilities continued to pour out without stopping, covering the interior of the stone chamber.
With the death of the God of Water and Sea, the number of enemies was supposed to decrease, but perhaps it was because of this that the higher-ranking gods fought more actively.
Currently, all of the high-ranking gods are in a situation where they seem to have abandoned the idea of hiding or saving their deadly cards, which are their foundation, and are launching merciless onslaughts.
However, apart from that, the joint effort of the higher-ranking gods showed a solidarity that was close to the worst, as if it were a dissonance like noise pollution.
“The god of the basin grits his teeth and shows his impatience and anger towards other higher-ranking gods.”
[ Pfft! this! They look like two-headed things!! I should have told you to deal with that white-haired woman who killed the God of Floods first, right? How many times am I going to tell you to leave the silver-haired girl behind her aside? ]
“The God of Fine Arts is barely able to suppress his murderous intent and attacks with anger and annoyance.”
[ under. bouncer… … !! How dare you know who you are giving orders to? … !! First of all, the most important thing is to kill the silver-haired woman and eliminate the sacred realm! ]
“The God of Refining grits his teeth when he realizes that the enemy’s movements have reached a level where the eye cannot follow them.”
[ Dammit! That means it’s impossible!! That white-haired girl who killed the god of floods is more powerful than you can imagine… … !! Now, isn’t it even impossible to follow movement with your eyes?! ]
As they cannot agree on a single opinion and cooperate clumsily, the effectiveness of the battle becomes lower than if they were fighting alone.
‘This is outrageous.’
I smiled and watched the ragtag group of high-ranking gods join forces.
When the God of Water and Sea was alive, he worked with the God of the Watershed to hinder the movement of a large area… … .
Now, as the basin god alone had to restrict the enemy’s movements, the higher-ranking gods with low reaction speeds were barely able to land effective hits.
As if that wasn’t enough, the god of the basin was also breaking into a cold sweat as if he was having a hard time restraining the movements of the white crane sword ship.
However, among the four higher-ranking gods, the God behind him was showing off his skills by competing directly with the White Crane Swordsman.
Kaga River-!
step.
Has that side also decided that it can no longer withstand the overwhelming technology honed by Baekhakgeomseon?
The god behind him tried mixing moves with the White Crane Swordsman a few times, then gave up close combat and chose to hide in space.
“The god behind realizes that the opponent has a technological advantage over him and adjusts his strategy.”
[ … … Tsk. He seems like a beast. Okay, I’ll give up on fighting with you. Instead, I will definitely kill you. ]
Sussss… … .
“Divine <side> is used.”
“By consuming divine power, it becomes possible to separate the surrounding space into the front and back sides and enter a space on the other side that is different from the existing space.”
“Depending on whether you enter the front or the back of the space, you obtain a state of absolute non-interference, ‘fluidization,’ and an absolute state of stealth, ‘invisibility.’”
In an instant, the god behind him disappeared beyond the gap in space and succeeded in completely hiding his presence.
Well, I feel like I vaguely know where they are hiding… … .
Unlike me, Baekhakgeomseon seemed very embarrassed and couldn’t even guess where he was hiding.
At the same time, Baekhakgeomseon once again had to face a defensive structure no different from before.
Kaaaang-! Sigh-! Faba Park-!
“The god behind the scenes laughs with confidence and attacks excitedly.”
[ … … Kyahaha!! Good good! If I had known this would happen, I would have done this a long time ago!! I feel good!! ]
Is that why?
With his lips tightly closed, Baekhakgeomseon focused on blocking each and every attack from a place where the god behind him could not see, and then focused on launching a counter.
As a result, the movements of the White Crane Sword Ship became somewhat sluggish, and even the God of Painting and the God of Refining joined in and began to slowly accumulate damage.
The Lord of Iron Blood also had to grit her teeth and launch a counterattack to ease the burden of the White Crane Swordsman, but her pure skill itself was evaluated coldly and was two levels below that of the White Crane Swordsman.
At this point, rather than swinging the sword directly, it would be better for the Lord of Iron Blood to provide support by using powers or skills to form an ice zone around the enemy and tie the opponent’s feet.
“The Lord of Iron Blood, Canary Rugfeld, frowns and scatters frost-colored energy from his grasp.”
[ under… … ! Damn it! Okay, go wild! If only you could do that! ]
In fact, the Lord of Iron Blood also realized this fact, took a step back, and spread frost energy around, blocking the movements of the higher-ranking gods.
Blah blah blah blah blah!
[ Ugh! ]
[ Pfft. Does this mean that even if you don’t know how to use divine supernormal abilities, you can at least use authority? You’re struggling. ]
[ Tsk! Well, you know that it’s just a leftover trick, right? No matter how much time you wait, nothing will change! ]
It was able to slow down the attack speed of the god of painting and the god of smelting, but it did not work on the god of the other side.
‘Are you using the inability to interfere properly by activating Divine <Side Side> to avoid being hit by attacks?’
It was natural.
A state in which one-sided damage can be inflicted thanks to the ‘corporealization’ and ‘invisibility’ obtained by activating the sacred <other side>.
The god behind him steadily piled up damage, paying no heed to the White Crane Swordsman’s counter or the Iron Blood Lord’s ice-type attack.
“The god behind the scenes exudes murderous intent with a premonition of victory.”
[ Kick! It’s slow! Are you tired? I knew it! hot! Kill me─── ]
and… … .
Swish-!
The moment when the god behind him activates his divine <other side> and reaches out with his hand sharply raised as if he wants to end the situation.
Keyee-!
It was then.
Suddenly, the gray curtain surrounding the White Crane Swordsman’s body completely changed from gray to black, shining similarly to before.
It was a visual sign that the law of prescience <adaptation> had succeeded in ‘adapting to damage.’
In other words, after activating the divine <other side> and using ‘invisibility’, from the moment it popped out of the air, the other side god who used ‘materialization’ became unable to transmit the counter at an unexpected timing.
The effect of the cause was clear.
When Baekhakgeomseon used a sword strike against the God behind him as a counter, the God behind him was immediately split in half and thrown backwards, spattering blood.
Miserably.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Seeing this, Baekhakgeomseon took a deep breath, barely raised the corner of his trembling mouth, and spoke as if warning the dumbfounded higher-ranking gods.
“Baek Seol-hwa, the white crane swordsman, tries to hide her tired appearance and smiles.”
[ … … so. So, what do you mean? Even if I’m exhausted, it’s enough to kill you. ]
step.
There was no one here who didn’t know that it was just a bluff.
Before I knew it, only about 20% of the sacred power that existed in White Crane Swordsman’s body remained.
I only finished adapting to the damage twice by activating the law of precognition <Adaptation>, but that much sacred power was consumed in an instant.
Chak-.
“Baek Seol-hwa, the white crane swordsman, has cool eyes that shine.”
[ … … is it so. Well, if you feel confident, come in. However, the price will be well paid. It would be best to come prepared. ]
It was an unconvincing warning.
No matter where you look, it is clear that the White Crane Swordsman is greatly exhausted from the fierce battle, and the Iron Blood Lord behind him is also on the defensive.
Moreover, unlike when the God of Water and Sea was killed, in the case of the God of the Underworld, he was only mortally wounded and did not die.
If so, wouldn’t it be obvious?
[ … … Everybody, you know? Don’t be fooled. It’s just a bluff. That white-haired girl is exhausted and doesn’t have the strength to fight anymore. ]
[ under. Know. For a guy who can’t even handle the concept of divinity properly, he had to endure for a long time. ]
[ Heo-eok, heo-eok! Si, don’t waste time! Hurry up and kill them both! Conclusion is the priority… … !! ]
The winners and losers had already been decided.
The higher-ranking gods, now three in number, were not deceived by the seemingly bluff warning.
Well, I had to hesitate a little, as if I was scared, but it was clear that they would finish up soon.
The Lord of Iron Blood was also quite tired, and needless to say, the White Crane Swordsman was pushed to its limit.
‘… … Actually, I was going to end it only if one of the Iron Blood Lord or the White Crane Swordsman were literally on the verge of death.’
However, that kind of thing is no longer something to worry about.
‘… … Well, there’s no need to go there anymore.’
It’s no different… … .
Gooooo-!
reached.
Baekhakgeomseon succeeded in responding to the divinity <Transcendence> and now began to deal with divinity and the status of the soul in order to unconsciously activate the supernormal abilities of the divinity.
Not only that, the Iron-Blooded Lord standing behind her was also belatedly clenching his teeth and showing signs of using the sacred <Death> in murderous intent and anger.
As a higher deity, they have been able to deal with the concept of divinity, which is the basis of deity, and now the two managers have reached the stage where they know how to clearly apply the status of divinity and soul.
‘… … In addition, I was lucky enough to see that all the inferences about the law of precognition <adaptation> were correct, so I guess I’ve achieved a lot of results.’
It’s not even just that.
A situation where I saw with my own eyes that everything I inferred about the law of precognition <adaptation> was correct and not a single thing was wrong.
Now, since there is nothing to find out by further watching <Adaptation>, I can say that I have achieved everything I wanted.
Doesn’t that mean only one thing?
Tuk-.
Achieve your purpose.
so that… … .
Training is over.
“Until there.”
[ … … uh? ]
In the blink of an eye, I moved next to the basin god, the last of the three high-ranking gods, and smiled.
“The training will end here, so you both can rest comfortably from now on.”
[ … … . ]
“training. And grasp. There are two reasons for coming here. Well, it’s faster than expected, but I think we can finish here.”
[ … … that- ]
“Well, I learned all the basics that a high-ranking god should have. “I have confirmed all the pioneering laws of the pioneer ‘conqueror’ and the pioneer ‘adaptor.’”
[ … … Well, what does that mean─── ]
“Do not worry.”
I looked at the two managers with a soft smile as I watched the watershed god standing next to me meditate.
“From now on, I will personally clean up the remaining things.”
Next moment.
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
As soon as he touched the basin god slightly with his finger, his body exploded spectacularly.
Patter-.
And, as the blood of the basin deity exploded and died, falling in all directions like raindrops, the two higher deities also seemed to have grasped the situation and became contemplative.
“great job.”
[ … … . ]
“I’m serious. Thanks to your sincere fight, I got what I wanted. Thank you for your cooperation. “I’ll give you an example.”
[Well, what… … . ]
“It’s simple.”
That means only one thing.
“The god of transcendence and death smiles excitedly as he looks at the higher-ranking gods who are alive.”
[ ─You’re tired, aren’t you? Well then, it would be polite for me to at least give something in return… … . Now, I’ll let you rest in peace. forever. ]
This means that now is the time to dispose of these sandbags that have lost their usefulness and value.
