Chapter 474
474. Curtain call (1)
God of creation.
The actual representative of the order camp, one of the two great powers that divide the War of the Gods.
He is a being who can create all things as long as he activates the divine
It appeared from an empty space without any warning, ambushed the Dragon God, and smiled brightly.
Patter!
The God of Creation pierced the heart of the Dragon God, brushed away the blood, and smiled in satisfaction.
[The God of Creation feels grateful towards you and gives you a warm smile.]
[ …Amazing. Could it be that two divine
It’s an unpleasant sight that feels somewhat foreign, as if this person is doing better than expected and is appreciating their hard work.
[ I had no idea that by partially changing the symbolic meaning of the concept of the divinity
Clap- clap- clap-.
[Moreover, the divine
The God of Creation pulled back the hood of his brown robe and smiled greedily.
[ Unconventional idea to touch upon the concept of the divine
“….”
[If you have changed your mind, won’t you join me? Now I’m very interested in you as a person. I want to go beyond a cooperative relationship, not a transactional one, and build a deeper personal relationship…]
“you.”
Crump-.
[The Dragon God of Transcendence and Death feels extreme anger and murderous intent towards the attacker and radiates his power.]
[ ─I will kill you. ]
In the blink of an eye, the energy of divinity and mana surged like a storm, and the body shot forward.
[Transcendence Myth
[From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon’s movements will be subject to the divine effect of
[※When activating the divine
[▶ This effect has a cooldown of one week immediately after activation.]
[From now on, the divine effect of

[※However, if the activation of a specific ability is close to impossible, the recoil from use of the effect also increases as the situation and conditions become closer.]
[▶ Immediately after this effect is activated, you will pay the price for going against the existing providence in some way.]
───!
The transcendence myth
Originally, the sacred effect ‘Super Light Speed’ of the Transcendence Myth
It has also been adjusted so that it can be used without the prerequisite activation process of Holy
‘kill.’
The infinitely sharpened fighting spirit is directed at the opponent.
Due to the activation of the Transcendent Myth
Compared to the three ancient gods, even the God of Light, who was relatively weak, did not die from a strike at the speed of light, but was only temporarily stunned.
‘I will definitely kill you.’
It was necessary to execute a perfect killing blow so that there would be no trace left in the world that the abominable woman standing in front of me ever existed.
Tsutsutsu───!
As the emotions of divinity and mana intensify, their power grows to the point of extreme ferocity.
It was no exaggeration to say that I, who had now acquired power close to that of three ancient gods, was a pure mass of power that combined hundreds of planets.
Just by letting out even the slightest negative emotions on this side, the pressure that could destroy the world itself was at a level that was pouring down like a disaster.
Goooo───!
It is not aimlessly wandering aimlessly, but is launched with a clear direction.
Moreover, the combat skills honed while climbing the Tower of Trials were put to use without a single ounce of waste, and when added to the energy of divinity and mana, it became an extremely sharp weapon.
Divine
[The exclusive effect ‘Double’ of the power skill ‘Honwon Demon Sword’ is activated.]
[Consume divine power to increase the power skill power by [12] times.]
[….]
Not only that, the power skill ‘Holy Won Demon Sword’ was activated once again, and the power continued to amplify, finally reaching the destination.
Swish-.
That means only one thing.
─────────!!
It was an instant death.
***
In an instant, the fatal blow they cast was struck forward and gave off tremendous power.
With pure physical power alone, he could escape the laws of physics and even slightly surpass the flow of time, but the energy of divinity and mana was added to that extra-standard power.
At first, due to the influence of pure physical force, the entire landscape in the field of vision began to melt into pure white enthusiasm, and at the same time, divine abilities burst forth and poured forward.
─────────!!
The fatal blow, created by a ferocity that was difficult for even one to understand, created a gap in time and space and crushed everything.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Even after escaping from the gray world, the result was revealed only after some time had passed.
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!!
The height of violence, which could cause hundreds of planets to collapse at once, sent a shock wave that enveloped the entire world.
Blah blah blah blah blah-!
The world, which was supposed to be strengthened by a huge sacred realm called the Divine Confrontation Realm, is rushing toward destruction without hesitation.
───.
If this side had not controlled the aftermath of a vicious power that was enough to destroy the entire world by focusing on the energy of divinity and mana, everything except the divine confrontation world would have disappeared.
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
In the heat that did not tolerate the existence of living things, I took a quick look around and landed on the mushy ground.
“….”
It was a level of power that could wipe out the world itself without leaving a single trace.
Although the God of Creation also became an ancient deity and rose to the rank of immortals, her true fighting power itself was not that great.
It was clear that she would not have been able to withstand a special move that combined the power of divinity and mana on top of overwhelming physical power and would have died or, even if she had survived, would have suffered damage that would have led to death within a few minutes.
‘…Not only does it not reach the level of the three ancient gods, but the concept of divine power possessed by the God of Creation is a crafting ability that is not related to combat.’
If I had to be honest, it was not confirmed that the God of Creation died through necromancy, leaving behind a ghost, so I should have thought that he might have gone far away…
‘… Even if the God of Creation miraculously survives without dying, the divine
Rather, it was important to check whether the Dragon God, who had collapsed after being ambushed by the God of Creation, was alive and to attempt to revive him as quickly as possible.
‘What happened to the Dragon God?’
Swish-!
In the blink of an eye, I headed to the place where the dragon god had collapsed and checked her condition.
The sacred effect ‘Superlight Speed’ of the Transcendent Myth
In maintaining her Dragon God’s life, the aftereffects of her power were suppressed so that she would not be harmed, so her wounds did not worsen due to the aftereffects of her power.
‘…no. Even though the Dragon God’s wounds didn’t get worse because of me, it didn’t get any better. ‘She was seriously injured.’
step.
Aside from that, the damage she received from her Dragon God piercing her heart was worsening regardless of the aftereffects of her power.
At first glance, it appears that the Dragon God only suffered physical damage that pierced her heart, but in reality, the damage done to her divinity, not her body, was so great that it was out of control.
‘shit!’
If I had been the dragon god before the divine
By handing over the divinity
She was now unable to cast her heals as she had recourse to the immortality of the ancient godhead.
‘…Even if you treat the body of the dragon god, it is only a matter of buying time to temporarily delay the extinction of divinity, the concept that is the basis of godhood.’
If the Dragon God also had a powerful regenerative ability like the power skill ‘Ashen Blood’ that this side has, the story would be different, but it doesn’t seem that way.
‘…If the Dragon God can restore my divinity and body at the same time with the regenerative ability like the gray fresh blood that I have, I won’t die, but that’s unlikely.’
Then there was only one conclusion.
Ssssss-!
Just like that, I placed my hand on the heart of the Dragon God and let the sacred
‘If you restore the very concept of the sacred
It is best to gamble that her self-recovery ability will increase by returning her sacred
Keying-.
step….
“….”
I was aware that attempting to revive the Dragon God on my own was meaningless.
Anyway, what was here was just a replica of the Dragon God created by the Tower of Trials, so even if we miraculously revived the Dragon God, it was obvious that it would soon disappear.
It is presumed that she, the God of Creation who could end the war of gods, has died, so even if she is revived, she may disappear again after a few minutes.
‘Damn it.’
There are more options left.
If the Dragon God is destined to lose her divinity
On the contrary, from the perspective of efficiency, it might be better to take her life as it is an opportunity to absorb the power of an ancient god and become stronger.
This is especially true since the Dragon God who fell in front of this in the first place is destined to disappear at the same time the Tower of Trials makes a clear judgment.
‘I am….’
The moment when I experienced an internal conflict between saving the Dragon God or killing him.
[The Dragon God looks at you blankly.]
[Successor…]
The dragon god barely regained her consciousness and kissed her lips with her eyes blurry open.
“…You don’t have to say any more. “I will take care of everything from now on.”
When I saw that, I immediately put aside my inner conflict and focused on transferring my divinity to the Dragon God.
Tuk-.
But…
[Successor… That’s enough… You can stop…]
The Dragon God smiled bitterly with her eyes blurred open and continued her words, refusing to accept the divine power.
[I… actually, I knew even though my successor didn’t tell me… that this was someone’s dream…]
It was an unexpected story.
‘…You knew from the beginning that this was a fake world created by the Tower of Trials?’
Unlike the God of Darkness or the Demon God, the original Dragon God may have shown signs of suspicion, but he would not have realized that this was a fake world and not the real one.
That’s why I thought she came to me and helped me even when I was driven to the brink of death by the God of Time.
But that wasn’t the case.
‘…At that time, the Dragon God knew that this was a fake world, but he still helped me?’
The Dragon God showed me favor even though he had some idea of the truth in the world created by the Tower of Trials.
“…Why did you devote yourself so much to me even though you know that all of this is just an illusion?”
When I asked him a question in a quiet voice as if I couldn’t understand, he got an answer.
[ …Well, I would be happy even if all of this were just a momentary dream. ]
Yongshin closed his eyes and continued speaking quietly.
[Because I have been alone ever since the moment I was born. I wondered what it felt like to be with someone. Even if it was all just a dream, I just wanted to experience it at least once. ]
Every time she utters a single word, her divine power slowly dissipates and disappears.
[I… It was only for a very short time, but I was able to think about a future with a successor. That’s enough. ]
and.
[ Successor. Still, if I were to be greedy one more time… I want the memories of the time I spent with someone to be passed on to ‘me’ in the ‘real world’ out there. please. ]
“….”
As the Dragon God spoke, she concentrated the divine abilities with her fingertips and handed them to me.
Tap-!
When she received the divine supernormal ability that formed like water droplets at the tip of her finger, the Dragon God smiled languidly as if she was feeling sleepy.
[ So goodbye. ]
The moment when the dragon god bids farewell to him with a languid smile.
[ it was fun. ]
In an instant, the concept of divinity that the dragon god had used as the basis of his divinity completely disappeared, and his body also collapsed.
Passs—!
As she looked at the Dragon God’s divinity and body turning into ashes and scattering away, an emptiness seemed to hover in a corner of her heart.
“….”
It bothered me that I couldn’t even say a proper goodbye in the face of the dragon god’s death, but no voice came out.
‘What should I have said?’
Should I have said thank you or sorry?
‘no….’
I closed my eyes tightly and felt remorse.
‘I don’t deserve it.’
In the first place, nothing would have changed by telling the Dragon God what to do.
No matter what they say, the death of the Dragon God is only given a short grace period and is destined to disappear someday.
In front of him, he could not help but be at a loss for words as he considered the value of the Dragon God’s life and growth and considered taking her life.
‘The only thing I can do for the Dragon God is to pass on the remnants of my memories and emotions to the Dragon God outside.’
From the moment I remembered that it would be better to take the Dragon God’s life for myself, I could no longer pretend to speak for the Dragon God.
‘therefore….’
Because it was hypocrisy.
‘Let’s finish.’
The moment I felt empty and guilty and tried to take steps to destroy the divine confrontation system.
Jump and jump -.
Suddenly, the sound of someone’s footsteps echoed from afar, and a familiar divine energy was detected.
Swish-!
The moment I turned my head in a split second and saw the face of a being with that familiar divine energy.
‘what…?’
When I saw an ancient deity standing before me, I couldn’t help but widen my eyes and be astonished.
‘What is this…!!’
It’s no different….
[ Hmm… Is this surprising? I never would have thought that the dragon god would give up on continuing his life. Should I say I’m lucky? It’s strange. ]
It was worth it.
[The God of Creation looks at you and smiles.]
[ …well, you’re lucky because in the end, it’s just you and me left. ]
…That’s because the one standing in front of him was the God of Creation, who should have died without leaving a trace.
***
The thinking seemed to stop.
‘…How on earth did this happen?’
God of creation.
Isn’t she originally a being who should have been destroyed without leaving a trace by the fatal blow that we dealt?
How is it that the God of Creation, whose combat power is nothing compared to the three ancient gods, is still alive and well?
‘…Perhaps the God of Creation had some kind of hidden power that even I could not detect―.’
There was a lot of speculation about him, but it was only temporary.
‘…no. That’s not it. There are no hidden numbers over there.’
Rather than being compared to the lords of the universe, such as the three ancient deities, the God of Creation is a being who is sure to be defeated if he were to face the ancient deities of a lower level than him head-on.
‘…I guess it was thanks to the power of the God of Creation from the beginning that I was able to survive and return like that.’
After much thought, I gave the correct answer I came up with.
“…Did you activate the sacred
and.
[The God of Creation smiles bitterly and nods his head.]
[That’s correct. ]
The God of Creation also immediately nodded in agreement and continued speaking.
[Now that you have power equal to or greater than that of the three ancient gods, I am nothing more than a small child, right? I had to attack him by surprise to kill the Dragon God, but there’s no way I could stand in front of you without any countermeasures. ]
Okay.
As the God of Creation spoke, he lifted his brown robe and revealed the sacred relics stored inside.
[ how is it? These are top-class relics specialized for survival or defense. These are divine items that allow you to survive for a few minutes even if the three ancient gods come together. ]
The holy relics she had placed inside her brown robe all seemed to belong to enormous objects.
[Well, of course, the story is a little different in front of you, but about half of the pre-made relics were used up. ]
“….”
[ ah-. do not be angry. To be honest, I’m not doing this because I particularly like it. Neither I nor the God of Law nor the God of Miracles have any ill feelings toward the three ancient gods…]
“You’d better shut up.”
At that, I narrowed my eyes and let out my anger and murderous intent without hiding it.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
“—No matter what bullshit they say, it won’t change the outcome of them getting killed by me.”
Perhaps all of the relics created by the God of Creation are specialized for survival or defense, allowing one to survive many times…
‘That’s okay.’
The response was also easy.
“…You don’t think you can continue to survive me with things like that, do you?”
All you have to do is push forward until the God of Creation’s special survival and defense relics are used up.
[The Dragon God of Transcendence and Death exudes power with a murderous smile.]
[ ─I will kill you for sure this time. ]
Even if the God of Creation is armed with relics that can survive in the face of the three ancient gods, there is bound to be a limit to the amount of relics held.
‘No need to waste time.’
If you activate the Transcendent Myth
‘kill.’
At that moment, I activated the Transcendence Myth
[The God of Creation senses your limitations and chuckles.]
[ Well… it’s probably too much. You are no longer fit to fight. ]
At the same time that the God of Creation said those words, an intense pain rose from my heart and my internal organs were shocked in an instant.
Thick-.
“───!!”
I let out a silent scream, fell to one knee, and vomited out blood.
Cluck, cluck, cluck!
As this person knelt on one knee on the ground and vomited out blood, the God of Creation responded with a grin.
[I told you, right? You are in no condition to fight anymore. Actually, I’ve been watching you fight for some time now. Thanks to that, I was able to find out. ]
Jump and jump -.
[Isn’t that right? I don’t know if it’s a divine supernormal ability or a mythological effect, but it’s not easy to acquire power equivalent to the three ancient gods in a short period of time. ]
She looked at me lying down with strange satisfaction and continued her words.
[Moreover, the way you became stronger was by robbing the sacred
It was as if he had guessed in advance that this would be the case in the near future.
[ Well, even if that’s not the case, there are powers you use that require you to pay a price for using them, right? Thanks to that, I have been able to fight continuously until now. But now that too is over. ]
At this point, I also know.
‘…Is this the price for abusing the activation of the Transcendence Myth
It was worth it.
Originally, the divine effect ‘Forced Power’ of the Transcendence Myth
Moreover, since the sacred
Patter-.
‘…It’s the worst.’
Just like that, I was getting nosebleeds and realized that even the power skill, Gray Blood, was not working properly.
‘…Should self-healing be considered close to impossible?’
Perhaps the cost of abusing the sacred
‘…I never thought I would come all the way here and end up in crisis like this.’
I realized that there was nothing more I could do, so I parted my lips to kill time.
“…you. Are you sane? “What on earth do you want to gain by killing the three ancient gods and the other ancient gods?”
There was a need to take time until at least the divinity and mana energy could be controlled.
[ well. I don’t really think of myself as crazy. I never thought they would kill the three ancient gods. ]
The God of Creation answered, stroking his chin with his slender fingers.
[I don’t want to tell others what I want to achieve by killing them, but I want them to come with me if possible, so shall I tell you? ]
and.
Dudduddu───!
In the blink of an eye, the divine energy resonated around the God of Creation, and a figure she had seen before appeared behind her.
“….”
It was a building that seemed to resemble the Tower of Trials that I had already seen once in the sacred realm
‘What is this…?’
Why?
‘Why does it look more similar to the Tower of Trials than last time?’
For some reason, the building resembling the Tower of Trials seen in the sacred realm
It looks very close to the prototype Tower of Trials previously seen in the relic ‘Catalog of Brilliant Divinity (SSS+)’.
Looking at it, I was able to intuit one thing.
[The God of Creation smiles deeply as he thinks about the new world he will create in the future.]
[─For the new world to come, from now on I plan to create a transcendent being. ]
I think we have reached the worst possible ending in the War of the Gods.
