Chapter 448
448. God of Time (5)
「Jewel with strong fighting spirit」
「Rating: SSS+」
「Only challenger Han Seong-yoon can use it.」
「A jewel that an ancient deity kept her own divinity.
」 When injected, the exclusive effect ‘Will to Fight’ can be activated.」
「When the exclusive effect ‘Will to Fight’ is activated, divine < fighting spirit > is activated.
」 < Fighting Spirit > can be stacked with an external divinity.”
The strongest hand.
A holy relic that can become 10,000 times stronger by stacking divine < fighting spirit > came into hand.
Well, what can be 10,000 times stronger with divine < fighting spirit > is various miscellaneous abilities including physical abilities…
wouldn’t that be enough?
Kwaaaak-.
He calmed down his trembling heart while holding the holy relic ‘Jewel of Deep Fighting Spirit (SSS+)’ in his right hand.
‘Whether it’s the three ancient deities or the god of time, I can definitely take down one physical ability.’
The ability of the body to perform movements that reach the speed of light itself is equal to or more valuable than a concept of divinity.
‘Even beings who became ancient deities like the god of birth can’t ignore the physical ability to move at the speed of light.’
If I had to argue, it was a level that could be compared to the divinity < transcendence > or the divinity < death > in terms of one physical ability with a little bravado.
‘If I can activate the divine < fighting spirit > overlapping, I have the confidence to overwhelmingly push through whoever it is.’
Of course, it’s not enough to have a lot of authority skills, so it’s not enough compared to the divinity < Transcendence > that allows you to acquire transcendence myths and the divinity < Death > that can even annihilate even the concept of divinity of an ancient deity
… is not enough.’
Isn’t that because the divinity < transcendence > and the divinity < death > grow together whenever this side becomes stronger?
Jerk-jerk-.
Divinity < fighting spirit > can be compared to divinity < transcendence > and divinity < death > from a short-term perspective rather than a long-term perspective.
‘God of time. No matter how strong that unknown ancient deity is, it’s not easy to lose your life. Then there is no need to hesitate.’
Then that’s it.
Wasn’t it impossible to leave him alone at the point when the god of time noticed that the war of the gods was fake, not real?
I don’t know how long the war of the gods will last, but it didn’t seem like there was much time left in my opinion.
‘If I can’t kill the God of Time in a hurry, or if I can’t rule it out in some way, I’ll just be in trouble in many ways.’
It was certainty, not speculation.
The War of the Gods has already changed considerably from the original history, and the balance of power has also been disrupted.
As the three ancient deities, as well as the god of time and the god of light, were rampaging together, a resolution could have been reached within a few weeks or months.
‘Even if it’s for me to survive, I can’t let the god of time live.’
Only…
within a few days from the point where the god of time spreads information about the Tower of Trials or this side, most of the ancient gods will be targeting me.
I didn’t want that to happen, as this is one of the worst scenarios imaginable right now.
‘Let’s hurry up.’
And…
Took-.
And the moment I step outside to kill the god of time.
[ …is out. ]
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from in front.
In the War of the Gods, there are only a handful of people I can recognize by voice alone.
Thanks to that, as soon as I heard the divine voice, I was able to immediately recognize whose voice it was.
It’s nothing else…
“The god of proof looks at you blankly.”
[How did you end the conversation with those fools? I thought they would come out after a fight because they were so awkward. It seems you were kinder than I thought. ]
was the god of proof.
“…yes. what it had to be I also had a good deal with them. There was no armed conflict.”
[ is it? Good luck then. You are also an ancient deity, but I didn’t know what tricks they would join forces with, so I was waiting in front… ]
“You waited?”
[Isn’t it something you don’t know about? What plans do those foolish dreamers have to persecute you? At that time, even though I was weak, I had the intention of contributing to the escape by adding a hand. Well, in the end, that didn’t happen. ]
“….”
It was sharp.
If this side were weaker than them, armed conflict could have occurred, as the god of proof said.
And at that time, if a being with one of the most powerful deities, such as the God of Proof, had added strength, he would have been able to leave his seat without fail.
“…I don’t understand.”
step-.
“…why did you try to do that to me?”
It’s just a story that focuses on getting me out of a crisis situation.
If the god of proof helped me like that, there was a high possibility that the other side would surely be killed by the god of creation, the god of law, and the god of miracles.
In fact, there is no reason to be so kind to me in this world of the distant past, where even the Tower of Trials does not exist.
‘Why are you showing favor to me so unilaterally?’
Not even that.
When I first encountered the God of Proof in the War of the Gods, I didn’t see any level of goodwill beyond the limit, even though he worried about me.
If he behaves like that now, it must mean that something has happened that will change his mind.
And for some reason, I felt so ominous that I couldn’t shake off the anxiety that filled my whole body and asked the question.
“Could you please answer me? Why did you sacrifice your life so much to give me strength? I don’t think there’s any reason why the God of Proof should do that to me.”
[ reason? well. I’m not sure. In fact, from the first time I saw you, I felt something strange about you. Should I say that you know me, but I don’t know you? Something like that. ]
“I’m not sure what that means…”
[You really don’t know? ]
“….”
The ominous premonition was not wrong.
[ no. Maybe the answer to that question is… Dorian, but you yourself might know better. ]
I was sure.
[ …so I’ll ask. ]
Nothing else—.
「The god of proof looks at you and reveals intense doubt.」
[—What kind of relationship do you have with me? ]
…The god of proof standing in front of him was in the process of realizing what the ‘war of the gods’ was.
***
Sacred realm.
It refers to a barrier or subspace of one’s own that any being with conceptual divinity can create as divinity, even if it is higher than or less than formal deity by establishing the hierarchy of divinity.
Creating a user’s conceptual divinity into a special barrier or subspace is a basic skill for those above formal deities, but at the same time, it was close to an advanced application technique with plenty of room to hone.
thud thud-.
It was worth it.
Even though the sacred realm itself seems easy, it is a work that fully captures one’s concept of divinity, so it has a thousand different values depending on how it is used.
The deeper the understanding of divinity and concepts, the higher the degree of completion of the divine realm, so depending on the user’s ability, the divine realm could be compared to a single world.
───.
Like this one.
Gooo-.
Darkness ripples like waves and spreads everywhere.
Only because it is filled with darkness such as chaos, it is not made of divinity, but it is a mysterious space that even looks like a universe without light.
An old man who entered the place moved forward, holding out his cane in the empty air as if touching the ground.
Took-.
It’s nothing else…
“The god of time speaks to someone watching him.
” ]
was the god of time.
[Lord of the universe. I have come to your sacred realm directly to my troubles. If so, isn’t it basic courtesy for you as a host to show your face to your guests? ]
The god of time uttered a divine voice into the air filled with darkness, but it did not resonate very deeply.
….it was natural.
In an instant, the weak divine power contained in the words of the God of Time was swallowed up by the darkness, and even the sound of the words disappeared.
In order to have this level of perfection in one alternative divine realm, what kind of divinity and soul status must the user possess?
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-.
The answer wasn’t far off.
[It’s been a while. ]
A woman wearing a black robe appeared from the air and, buried in the darkness, conveyed the meaning with a divine voice.
「The god of darkness looks at the cheeky kid and smiles.」
[God of time. ]
the dark god.
One of the three ancient deities and the ruler of the universe, she appeared with a strange smile.
She looked down at the god of time as if to look down on her, giggling, and went on.
[A thousand years ago, a lot of insignificant kids who couldn’t even read their own future have grown up. ]
sneer.
Since the god of time became an ancient deity and governed ‘time’ itself, one of the higher concepts, it was not strange even if it sounded unpleasant.
Nevertheless, the god of time was well aware that the existence buried in the darkness deserved it.
[At that time, there was a child who was born with a special soul that could bloom divine < time >, so it would be fun- I expected it, but as time passed, it turned out to be a defective product that reached the state thanks to the talent of the innate soul. ]
Isn’t she the owner of the concept of darkness that exists in this universe itself and one of the chiefs of the universe, also called the god of the beginning?
[It’s been a long time since I took interest in a worthless being like you. ]
The god of time stood beneath her and listened with a frozen face.
[God of time. He’s a cheeky kid. Wouldn’t it be better to step back and not bother me anymore? It’s the courage that came here. It’s imaginary. ]
One, and that for a while.
Hard———!
In the blink of an eye, the darkness that filled the divine realm shimmered as if it were alive, crushing the God of Time as if it were about to die.
「The God of Time smiles.」
[The God of Darkness. Lord of the universe, in your eyes, I may be nothing but an insignificant creature, but I also did not come here without thinking. I’ve prepared a contingency plan for an unexpected moment like this. ]
At that moment, centered on the place where the god of time stood, the vast sea-like swamp of darkness was dyed with brilliant light and neutralized.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
And a human form made of light stepped out of the radiant cluster of lights.
“The God of Light expresses that he does not want any more armed conflict to occur.”
[The God of Darkness. do it there No matter how ugly the god of time may be to you, it’s not right to try to subdue it by force. I want you to have mercy. ]
Nevertheless, the God of Darkness who saw it was still buried in the darkness and did not move even one step, only laughing at it.
[Whoa whoops…. You’re the god of light? God of Time It seems that you have sneaked into my sacred realm through that cheeky kid…. It can’t be more heartbreaking. Ah, how did such a sad thing happen? ]
And.
[There is so much sadness in my heart. ]
Accordingly, the moment the god of darkness spoke quietly.
[ …isn’t that the only way to do it? ]
In an instant, even the divine power emitted by the god of light was swallowed up by the darkness within the divine realm, forming a one-sided advantage as before.
[ ─Today, even among the ancient deities that exist in this universe, two youngsters with conceptual divinities that are rare enough to be counted on their hands will die at my hands. ]
Gugggggggggggggggg…!!
「The god of light is astonished at the supernatural abilities of the divine pouring out from all over the divine realm.」
[What the hell…!! ]
As if the power of darkness pouring in from all directions was beyond imagination, the god of light let out a divine voice filled with pain.
[ …quit. Dark God Are you serious? You won’t even hear why the god of time and I came here together? There’s no benefit to you if you come out like that. ]
The Dark God also did not stay still until his words were finished.
[ ─No. Don’t you make me feel bad because of worthless scumbags like you? It pays off if getting rid of disqualifiers like you makes me feel better. ]
She said in a cold voice, her eyes full of contempt, as if she were looking at trash by the side of the road.
[ iced coffee. I feel pathetic Living day by day without aspirations to move forward, living without any possibility. How is it that this universe is overflowing with boring and worthless trash like you guys? It’s a sad thing. ]
Crackling…!!
Every time the dark god continued to speak in a cold voice, the darkness wriggled from all sides as if it were alive and applied stronger pressure.
[God of time. In order to stop this meaningless war play in the name of the war of the gods, I would have given my strength to the will of a scum like you… Why does the war of the gods not end? I’m curious. ]
There was a hint of anger in her cold voice.
[At that time, you said you would end the war between the gods if you lend your strength to me, the demon god, and the dragon god. If so, the promise to end the war of the gods was not kept. Let me tell you with what confidence you possessed that disgusting mug at me. ]
It deserved it.
A while ago, there was a way to definitely end the war between the gods, so wasn’t it the God of Time who asked for the power of the three ancient gods?
The god of darkness was annoyed by what he said, but decided that it was not a lie and gave his strength, but unlike his promise, the war of the gods did not end.
「The god of time replies with a smile.」
[ War of the Gods. I was right when I said I would end that meaningless fighting game. However, apart from that, the war of the gods does not end when the god of creation or the god of law is killed. ]
By the way…
[In the first place, if the essential reason for the existence of the war of the gods is removed, wouldn’t the war of the gods naturally end? ]
The god of time continued to speak calmly, holding only a kind smile on his lips.
[Dark God. Lord of the Universe, I told you, the Demon God, and the Dragon God about the twisted timeline here. I didn’t know at the time why that happened…but it doesn’t anymore. I was convinced because I recently met someone other than myself who could foresee the future. ]
The Dark God didn’t take his words straight and gentle.
[God of Time It’s a timeline that only you know, isn’t it meaningless to talk about what to do? Please explain. I mean what the hell is that If it’s just a story I already know, or if it’s just nonsense, I’ll make sure it meets a terrible end. ]
A story no different from blackmail.
[It doesn’t matter. ]
After hearing that, the God of Time nodded and replied as if nothing was wrong.
[ Actually, the war of the gods has already ended a long time ago, and this is not a real story, but a fake that someone made up. Maybe you, the demon god, the dragon god, and even me are just fakes, not real ones. ]
[ Oops. Are you thinking of asking for mercy with those ridiculous words? wouldn’t it? If so, I don’t think I have anything more to share with you. ]
[ Responsibility? I wonder if I need something like that. If my words sound unreliable, then kill or seal as you please. That too is meaningful. After all, if everything is just a fake that looks real, what’s so scary about it? It’s all just a dream job. ]
[ Dream? ]
[ That’s right. ]
said the god of time with a wry smile.
[In the end, everything is just a story in a daydream. Only the Seed of Ascension will have the potential to become a transcendent after swallowing everything. It’s a story made for just one thing, so nothing will change. The timeline is twisted and everything will eventually turn into a fake, only to be scattered into a handful of sand. ]
It was complicated.
A story like a dialogue.
At first glance, you will only hear words that are nothing more than nonsense that has no place to use.
However, despite this, the God of Darkness figured out what the God of Time meant and replied.
[ …In other words, according to what you say, you and the god of light next to you, as well as me, the demon, and the dragon god, are just dream figures for someone else? That’s funny. OK then let’s assume that’s right. Do you know what we can do to support the story of a mere dream? ]
And.
[In the War of the Gods, I read the future forcibly beyond the limit just once. Actually, rather than reading the future with the divine < Time >, it was a way of guessing a certain ending with a high possibility of realization…. The end of the war of the gods seen with that It looked like it had finished ]
The moment when the god of time revealed that he had used a divine supernatural ability, a concept close to guessing the future rather than predicting the future.
[Looking at it, I had an idea. ]
The God of Time smiled coldly and continued.
[If this world itself where the war of gods takes place is a ‘fake world’, where the hell is the ‘real world’ and how do we get there? ]
Looks like he’s gone out of his mind somewhere.
[I was worried. I couldn’t read the future at all except for the ending where the Seed of Ascension swallowed everything. Doesn’t the war of the gods exist only for that one thing anyway, and even the ancient deities like you and I are only servants? The answer was also there. ]
said the god of time with a mad laugh.
[Isn’t that a simple story? ]
It was becoming clear what the god of time wanted.
[In the War of the Gods, the passage to the ‘real world’ rather than the ‘fake world’ is that this world itself exists because someone created it for only one seed of ascension… wouldn’t it be there? It’s been a long time since I found the answer. ]
He was longing for a way to go up to the ‘real world’ rather than the ‘fake world’ until the end of the ‘War of the Gods’, which is nothing more than a reproduction of a record made by someone else.
[ I do not suggest. ]
[ …. ]
The Dark God said nothing more.
[…even if we stay here anyway, if the seed of ascension finishes what it has to do, ‘something’ close to the transcendent will annihilate us all along with the world. In that case, let’s go up there whether or not there is a real ‘me’ who becomes the original in the ‘real world’ up there. ]
The God of Time spread bloody energy and presented a specific plan with Gwangso.
[If the body of the Ascension Seed is taken away, it would not be impossible to go to the ‘real world’ rather than the ‘fake world’ in this dream…] That means one thing
.
[ ─Wouldn’t the three ancient deities and the god of light, including me, join forces and use them in any way to ascend to the ‘real world’ instead of the ‘fake world’?] …The flapping of a butterfly’s wings is a
precedent It started to cause unexpected disasters.
