Chapter 444
444. The god of time (1)
thought.
What does the story I heard from the god of proof actually mean?
Deep in my thoughts, I tried to find the right answer, but soon realized that it was meaningless and gave up.
‘I don’t know if everything the God of Time said was speculation, or if it was a concept divinity or a prophecy using special powers…’ He
didn’t even have to worry.
‘…I have no choice but to say that he spoke about me by pointing to me, not anyone else.’
god of time.
The unknown entity, presumed to be one of the ancient deities before the Tower of Trials appeared, seemed to have a vague idea of who it was and what kind of place it was.
In fact, such words could not come out without noticing that the war of the gods was nothing more than a reenactment of a distant old story made possible by the Tower of Trials.
‘…The stories that the God of Time told the God of Proof are all related to me.’
Before I knew it, I was feeling chills as I ruminated on a story that I did not know if it was a guess or a prophecy by the god of time.
-The war of the gods has already ended a long time ago, and everything is real, but it is only the remnants of non-existent shadows, and it must be a false stage made for someone… Somehow, the
story the god of proof told me seemed to be spinning in my head.
ㅡIt was said that in the war of the gods, before the winner and the loser are divided, the seed of ascension will swallow everything and quench the vessel of the transcendent in chaos.
It was worth it.
I don’t know where and how far the ancient deity known as the god of time knows, but doesn’t he know too much about me?
It was an existence so close to the truth that it gave me goosebumps to see it as an imitation made by the Tower of Trials.
‘…Although it sounds like the god of time was talking about catching clouds, in fact, he was referring to me from the Tower of Trials.’
sure
The war of the gods has already ended a long time ago, the remnants of shadows that exist but do not exist, a false stage made for someone, etc… The
god of time has already said that this war of the gods is not real, but only a fake made by the Tower of Trials. He knew and said that.
‘How the hell does the god of time know me?’
Not even that.
Even that is not enough, aren’t the stories like ‘seed of ascension’ or ‘vessel of transcendence’ all of which cannot be seen as referring to someone other than this side?
Even more so, if this side hadn’t specifically decided what to do in the war of the gods, the god of time acted as if he already knew. ‘To
think
that the seed of ascension would swallow everything and quench the vessel of the transcendent in chaos before the war of the gods was even divided between the winner and the loser…’
‘How the hell do you know that?’
Perhaps the god of time knows that I am taking a gamble of some sort to become a transcendent in this war of gods…
‘It’s too detailed to guess.’
At this point, you have no choice but to notice that what the god of time said is more like a ‘prophecy’ rather than a ‘guess’.
‘Even I haven’t yet planned how to prepare to become a transcendentalist in the War of the Gods…’
In the first place, I, the cause of the anomaly in the War of the Gods, also decided in detail what to do in the future. did not let go
‘Could it be that the god of time made a prophecy by looking directly into the future to see what I would do?’
If so, the god of time acted as if he had judged how the war of the gods would end, so it meant that he had foreseen the future.
‘I don’t know.’
But…
‘If I think about it right now, there won’t be any plausible income.’
That too was only for a moment.
Before I knew it, I came to the conclusion that there would be no point in thinking about the god of time anymore, and I got out of my thoughts.
It was only about 10 seconds that this side was lost in thought, but nevertheless, one of the higher gods, the god of proof, seemed to feel a sense of difference.
「The god of proof looks at you and reveals interest.」
[ Why is that? Do you have any guesses about what the god of time said? If that’s the case, I’d like to hear it too…]
However, even if the other side asks if I’ve figured out something in my thoughts, I can’t give you the information as it is.
“no. It’s not like that. I also do not understand what the god of time said. sorry.”
Just like that, I frowned and replied as if I couldn’t guess anything.
[ …hmm. It feels strange to hear that you are respected by an ancient deity like you and even apologized. There’s nothing to say I’m sorry for It’s not a very important story. ]
The god of proof also answered indifferently, as if he knew that.
However, the anxiety has not yet been completely resolved.
If the God of Proof told this to others, wouldn’t it cause problems in acting according to the scenario I had in mind?
After hesitating for a few seconds, I pretended to be okay and asked another question.
“yes. Anyway, I have a question for you. Did you tell the god of creation or the god of miracles about the prophecy of the god of time? Or—”
But…
“The god of proof hears you and frowns in displeasure.”
[—Is that so? Why do I have to tell those silly dreamers the story of the god of time? I have no intention of telling those fools. ]
It doesn’t look like that.
[If you, too, are thinking of telling those foolish things a story related to the god of time, you’d better think about it a little longer. ]
The appearance of the other person almost getting angry as if he had heard a very unpleasant story.
‘…I don’t know why, but I have a lot of bad feelings towards the God of Creation, the God of Miracles and the God of Law, so I don’t have to worry about the words of the God of Time leaking out.’
It didn’t seem like there would be any disruption to the existing plan as this side thought.
“…then I understand.”
It was luck.
If an ancient deity, such as the God of Creation, had listened to what the God of Time said, it would have been difficult in many ways to act in the future.
Seeing that other side show such a rejection reaction, even if I didn’t say anything, the words of the god of time didn’t seem likely to spread all over the place.
“God of time. Besides that, you would have said that another ancient deity had appeared. Can you also tell us about that ancient deity?”
I wondered if there was anyone other than the God of Time who noticed that the war between the gods was fake and not real.
[ Hmm…. ]
And.
[ well. If it’s an ancient deity other than the god of time, it seems like he’s talking about it… I don’t really have anything to say about him. He too was supposed to be ferocious, but he was too passive. ]
Why?
[Actually, compared to the god of time, what the god of light did is nothing. ]
…The name of an ancient deity that I had only seen once before was mentioned.
***
God of light.
Suddenly, when the name of an ancient deity was mentioned, I couldn’t help but be surprised with my eyes wide open.
I had encountered the god of light in the giant tree labyrinth event held by the Tower of Trials, but after that, there wasn’t much contact.
‘Why is the god of light being mentioned here all of a sudden?’
But…
‘It’s out of the blue.’
Hearing the story of the god of light rampaging in the war of the gods, I felt curious for some reason.
‘For what reason did the god of light run amok in the war of the gods?’
Originally, the god of light that this side saw in the giant tree labyrinth was quite rational and even moderate, unlike an ancient deity. ‘I
don’t think the god of light I’ve ever seen had a disposition to reveal ferocity…’
There are no words.
‘It’s strange.’
At that, I shook off the embarrassment that welled up in my heart and parted my lips.
“Why did the God of Light run amok with the God of Time on the Eastern Front?”
[It’s nothing. The God of Light only protested against the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles. It was a warning that he would not stand still if he was forced to hold himself in the war of the gods any longer. ]
“…Are you referring to the god of light as the ancient deity that suddenly became rampant after belonging to the neutral camp that you mentioned while guiding me here?”
[That’s right. Rather than actively slaughtering the gods belonging to the orderly camp, the god of light acted passively, pretending to be a gatekeeper to prevent the gods belonging to the orderly camp from increasing their power. That’s why I have nothing to say. ]
“It seems that the god of time and the god of light did not work together to stir up the eastern front.”
[God of time. I don’t know what the hell that crazy old monster wants… but
I can clearly see what the light god wants. Unlike the others, he tends to pursue peace of mind. He listened to the words of the god of time and said he only did what he had to do. ]
“Is that so…”
However, listening to the story over there, the god of light is not as strikingly brutal as I felt.
‘There is no need to worry about how to exclude the god of light from the war of the gods yet.’
Even more so, listening to what the God of Proof said, the God of Light seemed to value his own safety and security the most, so it didn’t seem like there would be much involvement in the war of the gods.
“Is there any other unusual news about the dark gods and demons that appeared on the northern and southern fronts?”
[ well. I don’t know much about them. But since I left the Eastern Front two days ago, the God of Time has descended to the Southern Front and the Demon God has risen to the Eastern Front. I also didn’t look closely, but I saw vaguely, so I can’t give a definite answer…. For now, it is. ]
“Two days ago…”
[Hmm. don’t swear As I said just now, I only found out information like this with the direction in which the divine energy moves or the presence of an enormous demonic energy comparable to the Great Sea. If there was a mistake on my part, there’s a good chance it’s incorrect information. ]
“I don’t think so.”
The information this side knew could be wrong, so I asked for cross-validation, but there was nothing wrong.
-Don’t get your hopes up. The Dark God on the Northern Front, the Demon God on the Eastern Front, and the God of Time on the Southern Front. All of the ancient deities with a divine hierarchy similar to mine went there.
When I think about what the dragon god said to me, I could see that most of those words were right.
As she said, the God of Time went to the Southern Front and the Demon God went up to the Eastern Front, so the Dark God will also be on the Northern Front.
Perhaps, listening to what the God of Proof said, unlike what we know, it seems that the positions of the somewhat ancient gods went back and forth…
But one thing was certain.
‘The war of the gods has become practically impossible to fight any more.’
In fact, the war of the gods is no different from the end.
In the War of the Gods, the side of order can no longer keep the balance of power.
Isn’t it a situation where not only the three ancient gods, but also the unknown god of time, a strong man from a distant past, is wandering around the battlefield.
‘Whether it’s the God of Creation, the God of Law, or the God of Miracles, I can’t handle the appearance of a powerful person called the God of Time in addition to the three ancient gods.’
I wondered if it had reached a level where it was considered that there was little chance of victory for the orderly camp in the war of the gods.
‘But if he called me, it must mean that he could come up with a countermeasure.’
However, if the God of Creation, who knew that fact, had summoned this side while using his divinity < Heavenly >, it would not be that there is no solution to this problem at all.
“…Anyway, thank you for answering my question. Now, I think I will have to go to the place where the god of creation is. See you later.”
After that, I finished the conversation with the God of Proof and prepared to go to the Divine Realm < Model Garden > where the God of Creation is located.
[ …the god of creation. To that stupid ancient deity? Got it. Even if you’re not here anyway, I also have work to do here. let’s go ]
And accordingly, when the God of Proof went to an unknown place, I walked as the God of Proof guided me the other day.
gg gg gg gg gg-.
‘Shall we go?’
Now it was time to go into the tiger’s den on their own in order to set the table as they wished in the war of the gods.
「…」
「You have entered the divine realm < Model Garden >.」
「Due to the exclusive effect ‘Base of Creation’ in the divine realm < Model Garden >, the lost divinity and soul flow into the caster.」
Next moment .
───.
In an instant, the air brushing the skin became cool, and at the same time, a space of divinity that was separated from reality opened up.
***
Chak-.
The scenery of a familiar meadow that I have seen before unfolds before my eyes.
The unknown ‘tower’ built on the infinitely wide grassland has not changed from what I saw last time.
In addition to the resemblance to the Tower of Trials, I was still feeling a sense of incongruity stimulating my head.
“….”
To dismiss it as a mere ornament for the < model garden > of the sacred realm, doesn’t it look like it was modeled after the Tower of Trials?
‘Wherever you look at it, it doesn’t look like it’s a decoration or something…’
I felt annoyed as I stared straight ahead with my eyes narrowed.
‘What the hell is that?’
But…
that’s only for a moment.
Before I knew it, I stopped thinking when I saw that three ancient deities were gathered under an unknown ‘tower’ reminiscent of that tower of trials.
‘Among them, the one standing at the front is the God of Creation, and the rest seem to be ancient gods who have achieved a divine hierarchy similar to the God of Creation…’ It was obvious who they were
.
‘Then are those two ancient deities standing behind the god of creation the god of law and the god of miracles?’
Aren’t they the three ancient deities of the order camp, who are pointed out as the culprits that caused the war of the gods?
“…”
It was interesting to see the God of Law and the God of Miracles standing behind the God of Creation for the first time.
‘that’s interesting.’
Therefore, I looked at the god of creation, the god of law, and the god of miracles in turn.
As we’ve seen before, this is the God of Creation wearing a brown robe down to the hood… but the
two ancient deities standing behind her are covering their bodies with all sorts of sacred relics as if they had just fought. was doing
‘Is that the god of law and the god of miracles following the god of creation?’
The God of Law was a mage like a middle-aged man, wearing a huge staff as well as accessories filled with divinity and mana.
‘It’s strong.’
Not only the God of Creation, but also the God of Law and the God of Miracles do not seem to be suitable for combat, but they seem to be good at fighting in their own way, even though they belong to a high axis of the divine hierarchy and are not the owners of concept divinities that help in direct combat.
‘Perhaps, if the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles all work together, would we be able to deal with at least one of the Dark Gods, Demon Gods, or Dragon Gods?’
But that was it.
‘It would be impossible to win the war of the gods, but I mean.’
At most, even if the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles fought together, they could barely draw a draw against the God of Darkness, the Demon God, or the Dragon God.
‘Nevertheless, if they urgently called me here, it would be one of the two.’
In response, I narrowed my eyes and stepped forward to the place where the three ancient deities were standing.
‘All of these incidents in the War of the Gods either realized that I was the culprit and called them for interrogation or torture, or…’ Jeebeok
Jeobeok-.
‘—In the war of the gods, the dark gods, demons, and dragon gods, who are out of standard, must be able to win even if they rampage this far.’
And…
“The god of creation looks at you and smiles
bitterly.” ]
「The law god looks at you and frowns.」
[ Hmm. Is that ancient deity the one who entered the war of the gods belatedly, ignoring the divine confrontation? He is indeed a man with the strength and dignity to deserve it. ]
「The miracle god looks at you and prays.」
[ Welcome. Saints, I heard that you had the same will as us. From now on, let’s take care of the God of Creation together and get along well. ]
They seemed closer to the latter than the former.
Just seeing that this side came, they didn’t fight or anything, they just purely gave evaluations and greetings.
Seeing that, I knew that there was something hidden from them, so I tried to directly ask them questions, but I didn’t even have to.
“The god of creation looks around at those standing beside him and emits a look of determination.”
[ …thank you for coming so quickly. Actually, I want to share a long time together, but unfortunately I don’t have time for that anymore. know? ]
Before I knew it, the god of creation took a quick look at me and the other ancient deities standing around and spoke faster than this one.
[So let’s start. ]
I didn’t even have time to think or ask what the hell that meant to start with.
Whoops-.
‘uh?’
It’s nothing else…
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooo—-!
Suddenly, as soon as the god of creation announced that he would start something, the divine and spiritual power began to wind like a storm in the unknown ‘tower’.
‘What is this?’
Divine energy and fragments of the soul, which seemed to be broken here and there for some reason, swirled around the unknown ‘tower’.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-!
And so, while the whirlpool of divinity and soul echoed across the meadow, the god of creation was heard to speak in succession.
[As everyone knows, the main stage of the war of the gods is surrounded by the ‘Great Barrier’ created by the God of Law and the God of Miracles, including me. ]
She glanced at me and parted her lips as if to explain more.
[That means that the ‘Great Barrier’ covering the main stage where the war of the gods takes place can be interpreted as my sacred realm….] Tsutsutsu-
.
[In other words, with the unique effect ‘base of creation’ of my sacred realm < Model Garden >, I can reap the divinity and souls of those who died in the war of the gods and recycle them at will. ]
The god of creation created a pure white sphere of divinity on the palm of his right hand and continued.
[From the beginning until now…]
[Actually, the factional confrontation between the camp of order and the camp of chaos was just an excuse. ]
[ In order to reap the ‘divine’ and ‘soul’ that had lost their owner in the divine realm < model garden >, it was necessary to lose not only the higher level deity but also the official deity. ]
What?
‘What the hell am I listening to?’
It was dizzy.
In fact, doesn’t the war of the gods mean that it was necessary to fight in order to reap the ‘divine’ and ‘soul’ into the divine realm < model garden >?
That alone would be enough to make my head confused, but the sudden remarks of the god of creation continued without giving the other side a chance to come to their senses.
[That’s why I waited and cut it. ]
“….”
[I didn’t think of something like a chaotic camp from the beginning. In the War of the Gods, I was just waiting for the many high-ranking and official gods to die. Until one day enough ‘Divinity’ and ‘Soul’ gather together. ]
“You…”
I stared at the god of creation with my eyes wide open at that, but she didn’t stop talking.
[But that’s over now…]
Rather, the god of creation spat out words with a mischievous smile on his lips.
[It can be seen that there is only one step left until we can create a utopia together with the divine < Creation >. ]
The god of creation said that far and then looked at me blankly and spoke in a heavy tone.
[God of transcendence and death. ]
It’s nothing else…
[I’ll make the ‘reward’ you’re asking for from me right now, so I’d like you to do me a favor instead. ]
At the same time as the unconventional proposal, an unbelievable sound came.
[Ancient deity. Among them, the God of Time, who possesses a conceptual divinity that can handle time itself. kill him ]
Took-.
The God of Creation said so and suddenly put his hand on that unknown tower. [This ‘
tower ‘ contains the accumulated results of collecting countless ‘sacred spirits’ and ‘souls’ in the War of the Gods…] And
…
If consumed, it is not impossible to provide a miracle that cannot and should not exist. ]
next moment.
[I can give you the ‘power’ that can even break the immortality of ancient gods. ]
I couldn’t even say anything to him, but I was able to realize one thing for sure.
[ how is it? ]
The truth is that the war of the gods was nothing more than a fake battle created by them, in which neither winners nor losers appeared from the beginning.
[What would it be like to become an unprecedented god-slayer who destroyed even the conceptual immortality of an ancient deity in exchange for creating the utopia everyone desires with me?] Amidst the chaos where one could not see an inch ahead, an unthinkable option was given
.
