Boundless Necromancer

396. God of birth (2)

Pantheon.

Originally, according to the explanation given by the god of darkness, the place is like a collection of numerous deities.

In a word, most of those who reached a high level based on concept divinity belonged to the pantheon.

‘I never thought that the god of birth would gather a lot of official deities who were excluded by the pantheon…’

That means one thing.

‘True…’

In fact, even if you kill every godhead here, no problem will arise.

‘Isn’t that great?’

It was worth it.

Didn’t the pantheon say that even some of the ancient deities belonged to it?

Perhaps the influence of the pantheon in this universe is by no means small.

‘I thought there wouldn’t be another chance to kill a lot of gods except in a place like the battlefield of the gods.’

Then it was just that simple.

Official deities or high-ranking deities who were trying to establish a new faction centered on the god of birth could be killed without hesitation.

After all, they want to have an ancient deity like the god of birth as their backbone, so no matter how many times they kill them, no matter how many times they kill them, there will be no retaliation.

Only then did I slowly put a smile on my lips.

‘It’s fun.’

Before I knew it, I was getting an outline of what kind of reward I would get after winning against the ancient gods and many higher gods.

‘Even if it’s not at least the top rank among the ancient deities, I’ll be able to reach the middle.’

Now, he was approaching the level of a god of darkness, demon or dragon god.

If you can achieve a perfect victory against the God of Birth, who is presumed to have skills similar to yours among the ancient deities, you will get what you want.

But even so, I did not let go of tension and vigilance toward one of the ancient deities, the god of birth.

‘The god of birth did not belong to one of the ancient deities, so he said that he even stole a holy relic from the pantheon…’

Of course.

It’s hard to say that this side will win.

Even if he joined the ranks of an ancient deity about a hundred years ago, the god of birth also has the qualifications to be called an ancient deity.

And that’s not all.

Wouldn’t the birth god be able to create more variables in the battle thanks to stealing the holy relics from the pantheon?

It was necessary to establish a situation favorable to this side as much as possible.

‘First of all, I need to learn a bit about the god of birth.’

The thought ended with that.

[Hey-. ]

It’s nothing else…

[I think all the invitees have arrived? ]

Before I knew it, a man with a languid impression, who had offered to guide me around, started talking to me with a grin.

[Now, this is the banquet hall to wait for the god of birth. cool isn’t it It’s a great place considering the treatment you’ve received from the Pantheon. ]

Only then did I wake up from my thoughts, raise my head, and quickly finished grasping my surroundings.

‘It seems that there are dozens of official deities or high-ranking deities.’

It was great.

If I had to question it, should I say it’s like watching a buffet with a lot of food?

The idea of obtaining the divinity of numerous concepts aroused a truly delightful feeling.

As I was still shining my eyes, a drowsy man next to me spat out nonsense as if he had misunderstood something.

[ what the. Behaving like a rookie. Hey, you don’t have to be so nervous, right? It’s like comrades who will work as a faction under each other’s birth god. Let’s go and have a good chat. ]

I think this side is probably nervous seeing the many deities gathered in the banquet hall…

[ …Yes. That wouldn’t be bad either. let’s go ]

To that, I replied with an infinitely friendly smile to the man with a languid impression.

[Actually, there are quite a few things I want to know about the deities in this banquet hall. ]

In fact, this one also felt the need to find out about the rewards to be obtained through necromancy.

[I’m really looking forward to it. ]

That too, very definitely.

***

Time passed quickly.

Before I knew it, I was able to follow a languid man around the banquet hall.

In fact, they didn’t seem to have any doubts that this side had come here with a request from the pantheon.

‘There will be plenty of time to find out what kind of trick the god of birth is trying to do.’

Not even that.

[Come to think of it, my introduction was late. ]

As if feeling some goodwill toward this side, he ended his self-introduction in a friendly way.

[God of Compression. That’s me. You can compress things and deal with them. Well, they do have names from their mortal days, but… they were abandoned hundreds of years ago. Just call it the god of compression. ]

Maybe you want to share a friendly relationship with this person…

[Yeah. ]

So, I continued the conversation by mingling with the compression god.

It didn’t feel too bad to talk, since I was planning to continue gathering information here anyway.

It was all the more so because, under the assumption that he was lucky, he might be able to get something out of a conversation with the God of Compression.

[So…]

Dan.

[What kind of god are you? ]

I had no intention of letting anyone know about this side, so I calmly spit out a lie.

‘Wouldn’t it just be a new name that would not go unnoticed even if I used it openly?’

It’s nothing else…

[ God of Harvest. ]

right away.

It was named after one of the masters of the conceptual divinity obtained long ago on the battlefield of the gods.

To be honest, it’s not even a lie.

In fact, from the moment he possessed the divinity < Harvest >, he was fully qualified to call himself a god of harvest.

[Hmm…. ok. what looks good It doesn’t even look like an angular divinity. Maybe I won’t have such a bad relationship with you. let’s get along ]

In fact, there was no sign of suspicion on the other side.

[By the way… Did you say you were curious about the deities under the god of birth? I can tell you that, so you can ask. ]

To that, I nodded and asked what I was most curious about.

[First of all, I want to know what kind of person the birth god is. ]

But…

[ …uh. A birth god? about him? well. Few people know that, right? You probably know that he became an ancient deity about a hundred years ago at most. what. ]

It didn’t mean much.

[Since he is an ancient deity, not many people know about him. ]

In fact, since it is one of the ancient deities, it seemed that meaningful information about the god of birth had not been resolved.

‘Is it true that nothing is known about it, befitting the status of an ancient god in its own way?’

But even so, I wasn’t disappointed.

After all, isn’t there enough time to find out about the god of birth?

After a little thought, I spoke to the compression god as if I was curious.

[Then, what level are the deities invited by the god of birth? ]

And…

[Pretty good in its own way. ]

The God of Compression listened to the question posed by this side and answered as if it were simple.

[Even though they were excluded from the pantheon in the first place, they were invited by one of the ancient deities, the god of birth, so they couldn’t be insignificant. ]

[ …. ]

[ It’s roughly the same level as you and me. It feels like it straddles the gap between a formal deity and a higher deity. Oh, there are other high-ranking deities, but it’s not a big difference. ]

[ It seems so. ]

At that, I nodded and gave off a cold look.

None of the divinities in the banquet hall in front of me were exceptional.

To put it bluntly, should I say that he has attained a level of divinity that is roughly similar to the god of compression or a little higher than that?

At this point, I got a feeling.

‘It’s possible.’

It was simple.

‘If this side can strike first, I’ll be able to kill them all in one go.’

Before I knew it, I was convinced that I could annihilate countless deities here.

‘It’s interesting.’

Not even that.

Just by showing that he was curious about this side, the compression god gave me a lot of information without any vigilance.

As a result, I settled down in a corner of the banquet hall and quietly listened to the stories the compression god told me.

[ ah-. god of the sea. I understand that concept divinity can gather and manipulate a large amount of seawater anywhere in the world. that guy is strong ]

[ Hmm. God of Loss. Pretty bad, but strong? The concept divinity itself isn’t very strong, but the synergy with the myths built up by myself is great…]

[Oh. imaginary god. Before he was excluded from the pantheon, he was known as one of the top deities, maybe? It was very popular because it could handle virtual space with concept divinity…]

“…”

It was fun.

It’s like listening to an explanation of how to use a certain product.

As it was, I nodded my head and finished collecting information only after hearing what concept divinities many deities had and how to use them.

[Then, let me ask you one last question. ]

Soon, the moment when this side gave off a cold look and asked the last question.

[Where is the holy relic that the god of birth is said to have stolen from the pantheon? ]

Hearing this, the compression god frowned and acted as if he had heard something unknown.

[ …That’s right, the god of birth must have it. Because it is an ancient divine relic stolen from the god of darkness and the god of pride. Didn’t he tell you when he invited you? After absorbing the power of Scandia, the god of birth will distribute the holy relic to everyone. Until then, no one knows where the relic is—. ]

[ Then, where did the god of birth hide? ]

[ …Hey. Isn’t that a story everyone already knows? The god of birth said that he couldn’t reveal himself until he absorbed all of Scandia’s own life force. Perhaps even the Ancient Godhead will not know where he is. ]

[ That’s really unfortunate. ]

At that, I clicked my tongue in regret.

If this side had been able to find out where the birth god was, it would have been possible to capture the victor by a surprise attack.

However, this did not mean that there was no income at all.

In fact, haven’t you heard that the god of birth can’t be active until the rich vitality inherent in the world of Scandia itself is exhausted?

Then it was clear what to do.

[It’s fortunate that I have time to pack an appetizer. ]

It was simple.

Aren’t all the deities here betraying the pantheon by following the god of birth?

After all, when the deity of birth awakens, they will all be nothing more than deities who will be hostile to this side, so there was no need to keep them alive.

[Appetizer…]

But…

[You you you! ]

Did the God of Compression realize that what you are saying is strange?

[He was not an inviter, but a traitor…!? ]

Suddenly, the god of compression made an expression of mixed surprise and anger and spat out words.

“A traitor?”

It didn’t matter.

“Can it be?”

As it was, I said calmly with a cold expression on my face.

“Unfortunately…”

There is no need to delay anymore, since you’ve got everything you can get here.

「The god of transcendence and death laughs at the nonsense of a godhead that is not like any other.

」 ]

And.

[ therefore. ]

next moment. 「The Authority skill ‘Starlight’ is activated and a

starlight

containing divine < death > is created.」

[Just shut up and die.]

In an instant, the black starlight that appeared in the air swept around like crazy, engulfing the surrounding space.

「The skill ‘Starlight Expansion’ is strongly activated.」

「All types of starlight are greatly expanded, resulting in a performance improvement of up to 4 times.」

QAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

It’s also very fancy.
