Chapter 429
429. Butterfly effect (1)
In an instant, system messages appeared one after another.
「…」
「The Tower of Trials tolerates your compulsive plundering behavior to some extent.」 「The
Tower of Trials activates the exclusive authority #A-087 [Change the Trial Break Reward] and changes the Trial Clear reward. I do.」
And then.
「The Tower of Trials activates exclusive permission #A-087 [Changes to breakthrough rewards], and the rewards for clearing trials are changed from ‘ ‘ to ‘allowing one of the ancient deities to activate unique attributes and unique myths’.”
As it was, I read out the system messages that appeared in my field of vision one by one, remained silent for a moment, and then spat out words mixed with laughter.
“…that’s great.”
It was huge.
The situation has changed to something that can obtain the power of an ancient deity instead of something unknown that was set as a reward for clearing the ordeal.
In fact, this is what allowed the Tower of Trials to use not only high-ranking or formal deities, but even ancient deities as a basis for growth.
‘To think that even an ancient deity that isn’t a high-level deity or official deity can be swallowed up with necromancy and myth < possibility of transcendence >…’ I looked at the
system message beyond my field of vision, then smiled thrilledly. .
‘Even if the imitations made by the Tower of Trials are fakes that are no different from the real thing, it’s a staggering thing.’
In the Tower of Trials, the change of the ordeal clear reward ‘ ‘to something that allows you to activate unique attributes and unique myths of ancient deities’ had a greater meaning.
‘Depending on what I do from now on, the possibility of getting something beyond my imagination isn’t enough, so it’s a great chance overflowing.’
It was worth it.
The ancient deities, who are called the most powerful beings in this universe, are in a state of madness that must be transformed into the concept of divinity itself.
In the first place, the number of ancient gods in this universe is not so many, and the number of ancient gods that can be hunted by this side is inevitably scarce.
‘Anyway, it’s highly likely that all the ancient deities outside the Tower of Trials belong to the Pantheon.’
That couldn’t have been a good sign.
Perhaps, if the emotions mixed with hatred, vigilance, and jealousy shown by the many ancient deities seen in the pantheon the other day, a big incident would explode in the near future.
Not to mention, the enemies this side had to deal with were not only them, but also the overwhelmingly powerful god of despair, fall, and madness.
‘To be honest, it’s like there’s no way to widen the overwhelming growth gap from the enemies outside of this tower of trials.’
There wasn’t even that much time.
It’s been decided what to do on their own, and it’s obvious how many ancient deities will come out in the future.
And that’s why, in this Tower of Trials, having a chance to devour an ancient deity, one of the rulers of the universe, had no choice but to come with even greater meaning.
‘If it’s not now, there’s no other way.’
It was truly a golden opportunity.
‘Then I quickly become stronger here.’
Not even that.
Even the Tower of Trials, unlike in the past, even though this side forcibly invoked its power, it even tolerated it without catching anything.
At least one of the ancient deities in these wars of the gods basically needed to be hunted.
“Oh…”
I cleared away the system messages that were stuck in my field of vision and smiled.
“I can’t wait to find out where and what kind of game.”
Fortunately, one more thing that can be obtained from the war of the gods has increased.
“From now on, I will be busy in my own way.”
Funnily enough.

was expected.
The war of the gods and what you might get for yourself if you defeat one of the ancient deities that resides in its depths.
To be honest, even if I climbed the Tower of Trials to a higher place, the possibility of getting a great chance like now is weak, so I felt even more joy.
‘It’s hard not to feel the joy in the first place.’
But…
―What the heck is this…
Somehow, a Moorim man who died due to lack of skill while climbing the Tower of Trials didn’t seem to like something.
―That you can get power just like the real one from fakes that the Tower of Trials created…?
Damcheonwu, who didn’t say much, said as if he had seen an incomprehensible phenomenon.
-her…! Even if it were the Tower of Trials, the only transcendent structure in this universe, there would be no way this would be easily possible. Isn’t it a miracle far beyond the providence?
To be honest, it was a natural reaction.
Although the original Tower of Trials is a transcendent structure, it makes no sense to replicate such high-ranking deities, formal deities, and ancient deities.
Wasn’t the only thing that the Tower of Trials could create were pseudo-gods whose concept of divinity was not properly established?
‘It must be natural to think that way.’
In fact, being able to demonstrate the supernormal ability of necromancy against fake high-ranking deities, official deities, and ancient deities created by the Tower of Trials itself is a miracle that defies common sense.
“…Well, if you think about it, it doesn’t make any sense at all.”
Nevertheless, if you think about it deeply, you can draw a convincing conclusion, albeit narrowly.
“…That’s because this stage created by the Tower of Trials has even Lemegeton’s supernormal abilities added to it.”
The ability of ‘Remegeton’, which is no different from a holy relic obtained from a demon in the past, was able to produce similar results, although it had a different purpose from the Tower of Trials.
“Practically, the Remegeton given by the Demon God is no different from a kind of power he possesses. It’s a holy relic, but it’s an item with more value than a holy relic, right?”
It was barely acceptable because it was a one-time miracle that happened by mixing the Tower of Trials and the supernatural abilities of Remegeton, one of the demons who are the rulers of this universe.
“It’s not that strange to reproduce the war of the gods by using an item that is no different from one of the powers given by the demon god, one of the rulers of this universe.”
―…I don’t know. In my opinion, what you said has some truth. Even if you take that into account and look at it, it doesn’t change that it is very heterogeneous.
As it was, the blade of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword rang lightly, and at the same time, Damcheonwu continued.
-Is that all? Like you said, let’s pretend that the fake ancient deity out there is the same as the real one. Even so, it is not something to be accepted very warmly.
A voice full of doubts, as if there were a couple of things that were somehow unclear.
―In this universe, those who are called ancient deities are themselves a concept and beings who have been reborn as immortals.
Is that why?
―If even the fake ancient deities created by the Tower of Trials are beings that are no different from the real thing, wouldn’t you be too happy about it?
“Why?”
-It’s simple. Because it is an ancient deity. Beings who are the rulers of the universe, immortals, and have been sublimated into a single concept itself. What if there is no distinction between real and fake? It must be obvious.
“…”
At this point, it seemed that I could understand what the other side was saying.
-hmm. Think about it. If the Tower of Trials could create you, ‘Han Seong-yoon’, no different from yourself, what kind of existence would that be? what would he do
sharpen.
―In the first place, if each of those ancient deities is a monster that inscribed its own divinity and concept into the universe, wouldn’t it know that it is a ‘fake’?
Before I knew it, I realized that the story of Damcheonwoo that I heard from inside the Blood Heaven Demon Sword was not a delusion that could not come true.
―Do you really not notice anything until the very end that this fake world created by the Tower of Trials is a cage made only for you?
After climbing the Tower of Trials on his own, he finally transformed into the concept of divinity itself and became an ancient god, so he could imagine it.
– Han Seong-yoon.
Possibility that is nothing short of a thread.
―Do you think the ‘fake’ that the Tower of Trials perfectly imitated and reproduced as you are, as an ancient deity, will never know that he is a ‘fake’?
It means that it can be realized at any time if there is only one occasion.
―And so, what kind of thoughts and actions do you think the fake ancient deity created by the Tower of Trials will show?
ancient deity.
―If that’s the case, is it a situation only beneficial to you that the ancient deities that existed in the beginning of the war were reproduced at the same level as the real ones?
ruler of the universe.
―As time goes by, even a trivial act like a butterfly flapping its wings can change more than you think.
Each of them becomes the concept of divinity itself, and they are immortal beings freed from the bondage of life and death.
―Whether that would be good for you or bad for you, I can’t say anything.
It is not certain until time passes that it will cease to be pure prey as this side hopes.
―The only thing I can say is that if the Tower of Trials did something like this to you, there would surely be hardships and hardships corresponding to it.
Not to mention, the Tower of Trials has never violated the basic order and structure of high risk, high return for challengers.
―That is the principle of the Tower of Trials.
…Somehow, the war of the gods did not seem to go smoothly as they wished.
***
Time passed quickly.
「Permanently increase stats by using all the possessed spirits」
「Muscle strength increased by 57」
「Agility increased by 58」「HP increased by
59」
「Magic power increased by 64」
「Durability increased It has risen by 56.”
“The concept has risen by 31.”
Before I knew it, I invested in the growth of all the abilities of all the commanders I had collected from all over the Western Front and changed them.
‘It’s wonderful.’
All of the enemies defeated by this side were high-ranking deities, official deities, or even demon lords who couldn’t easily defeat them, so the increase in all stats was high in their own way.
‘It’s unfortunate that none of the skills were extracted.’
Well, if it’s unfortunate that Necromancy or the myth < The Possibility of Transcendence > didn’t get much useable power other than the basic growth function, it would be a pity.
‘Anyway, the power of necromancy is generally a simple random probability fight if certain conditions are met, so next time I’ll be able to get a useful ability.’
but for a while.
“Rather, is it a matter of finding out where the survivors of the orderly faction who fled earlier are on the Western Front?”
As it was, I continued to walk through the Western Front, which had turned into a wasteland, to find out where the survivors of the orderly side had gone.
‘Earlier, I felt that everyone was retreating while fighting on the Western Front, but I don’t know where or how the deities of the order camp retreated because I didn’t care.’
They just continue their search without paying attention to what happens in the war of the gods.
I had to know that the war between the gods would not go smoothly thanks to Damcheonwu, who had been sleeping inside the Blood Heaven Demon Sword, giving me unexpected advice… But it was hard to see it as an issue that needed immediate action
.
‘There is nothing I can do right now whether or not the many ancient deities in the War of the Gods notice something.’
It was natural.
‘Then it’s right to take care of the things I can do step by step.’
Yes, in this war of gods, it is said that a number of ancient gods somewhere can break something, but if you look closely, it is still just a hypothesis.
Jerk-jerk-.
And accordingly, I went in search of deities of the side of order who would have withdrawn from this Western Front.
But even that didn’t last very long.
Before I knew it, I felt some kind of life reaction from the spirit that this side had built by carefully spreading divinity and mana.
That too up close.
‘Is it over there?’
And…
‘It was closer than I thought…’
The moment I set foot in the place where it is presumed that the upper and official deities of the orderly faction who retreated from the Western Front are gathered.
「The god of disagreement looks at the unknown existence and warns.」
[—That’s it. ]
A chilly voice came from somewhere.
[Mimul bastard. don’t move anymore If you show any more suspicious behavior, I will kill you immediately. Do you understand ]
“….”
[Tsk. Seeing that I can’t even sense divinity or magical power anywhere I look, I think I’ve hidden my power… If you don’t obey my words from now on, you will be torn to pieces. Got it. ]
“It’s fun.”
It seems that one of the high-ranking deities belonging to the orderly camp is standing guard in the empty air somewhere…
“You. Are you one of the higher deities belonging to the orderly camp? Then you wouldn’t be so sensitive. Actually, I belong to the same orderly camp as you.”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Suddenly, before this side could say anything, the other side fired a projectile made of divine power and acted as if they wouldn’t even give a chance to talk.
[ Gut! Are you saying something like that? The joke is too much. If you say anything nonsensical anymore, I’ll shoot you in the head next time. ]
“No, I really belong to the orderly camp like you—.”
[ dog sound. If he was a proud being who was confident in his own power, he would not be able to hide his divinity and magical power. Do you think you’ll believe what that bastard says? ]
“….”
Ah.
[You pitiful bastard. Even if you are a deity belonging to the orderly camp, there is no need to listen to what the weakling says. Obey what I say. if you don’t want to die. ]
Is that why?
“Is it unconditional obedience to the strong…”
Before I knew it, I smiled brightly as I stared at the place where the high-ranking deity with that self-respecting tone seemed to be hiding.
“That’s good.”
It’s nothing else…
“The god of transcendence and death is interested in an unknown high-ranking deity
. ”
It seemed like they could build a warm, deep friendship (?) without even having to have useless conversations with higher-ranking deities.
