Chapter 207

207. Dystopia (4)

Psychic.

This was a nickname for a skill that was once called before the concepts of Awakener and Hunter were properly established.

Of course, as time passed, the system became known, and the names of the old generation, such as superpowers, disappeared...

but somehow this world didn’t seem to be like that.

‘that’s interesting.’

Is the flame in the hand of the woman in front of me a supernatural power in the true sense of the word without a system?

I’ve never seen a power like superpowers before, so I was unexpectedly interested.

I can’t believe that such a highly developed civilization has supernatural powers.

The corner of his mouth went up at the thought that he might be able to gain new strength.

‘If I activate skill extraction with Necromancy, I wonder if I can get superpowers too.’

But that was only for a moment.

“I can’t believe that there are still people with this level of manifestation-type abilities...”

The woman with a flame in her hand snarled with a shocked face.

“It wasn’t like a normal person, but a person with the powers of the Paranormal Union.”

A look of hatred crept up on her face.

‘It’s a portrait union.’

I don’t know why, but they probably think I belong to a certain group

.

Paaang!

In the blink of an eye, the flames swelled wildly and rushed in, but...

「The skill ‘Endless Spell Devour’ is activated.」

「All spells that touch the body are converted into pure

magical power.」 Thanks to my ability, I didn’t take any damage.

no.

It wasn’t that he didn’t take any damage, but rather his magic power increased.

‘Are psychic powers treated as a type of spell?’

I thought Infinite Spells only responded to magic-related powers, but it seemed to have a wide range of uses.

‘This is good.’

As I was feeling satisfied, the two people behind me jumped out.

The two skinny men unleashed a concerted attack with poisonous expressions without saying a word.

In a state where I even lived with me.

But...

“Did you say it was a superpower? Doesn’t sound like such a good ability.”

Both of them are at a level where their physical abilities have just entered the superhuman level.

If I had to question it, it should be said that I was in a physical condition close to when I just entered the 4th floor of the tower.

I didn’t feel the need to procrastinate the fight now because there was nothing more interesting.

I lightly waved my hand right away at the two people who were rushing at me and slammed them down to the floor with moderate force.

Kwaaang!

“Correo! Cuckold! Can’t breathe...”

“Quaaaaaagh! Huh waist...!”

“It’s harder to control your strength than you think.”

I had no intention of breaking a bone, but somehow I overpowered it violently.

‘I’ll have to control my strength more carefully next time.’

As I was reflecting on myself, the Blood Heaven Demon Sword hummed and I heard a voice.

―...That’s not good. Not only his strength, but also his skills are below the level. What a changeable people.

Damcheonwu continued speaking with feelings close to contempt as if he was pitiful.

―It would have been more interesting if we had fought by relying on advanced civilization technology.

It was then.

Knock...!

As if responding to Dam Chun-wu’s words, the woman stretched out her prosthetic hand and let out a furious sound.

“shit...! Throw it away as it is, you damn bastard!”

and.

Whoa-!

At the same time, a small hole opened in the center of the mechanical palm, and light gathered.

It’s also very intense.

-oh. at least this is better You finally brought out something interesting.

The light gathered in the muzzle-like hole soon became a single flash and was quickly fired.

To be honest, I was a little surprised.

It was worth it.

‘I never thought something like this would exist.’

Even with a body that transcends a human, this laser can miss its movement for a moment.

Of course, if you use the skill, you won’t miss the movement...

I didn’t feel the need to do that.

It’s enough to just roughly predict the path and hit it with your hands.

Actually...

Teeing!

When I put the back of my hand on the laser beam path, it bounced helplessly.

Of course, the skin on the back of my hand was a little scuffed from the laser, but it wasn’t too much to worry about.

Chiyi!

「The skill ‘Ashen Blood’ is activated.]

Most of the wounds disappear in less than a second anyway.

As I swiped the blood off the back of my hand, I heard a thin voice.

“Is that a lie...?”

Clink.

She lost sight of the dagger in her right hand and stared at me trembling.

“You crazy monster that said it was a laser cutting machine that could cut through even a tolerable person with enhanced abilities...”

Even that was completely swallowed up in despair.

The perception couldn’t help but change.

“But at first, I didn’t think too much of it, even though I was wary of the leader of the Paranormal Alliance.”

“...?”

“It is. One of the radar cutters cuts the torso of a person with enhanced abilities. Superpowers can’t be that important in this world.”

“ah.”

The psychic in this world was a being that was behind even things like laser cutters.

So, he must have thought that all he had to do was rely on advanced technology to deal with the usurper.

Contrary to what I thought, however, the situation became serious.

Just like right now.

“The paranormal association caused terrorism throughout the city.”

With that, she raised her hand and pointed at the gray orb floating in the air.

“After the gray orb appeared, most of the machinery in the destroyed area suddenly stopped working.”

“Most of the machinery is dead?”

“...very literally, most of the machinery has been broken since the gray spheres came into being.”

“Then the laser shot from that prosthetic arm...”

“It was a laser that was modified with supernatural powers, but only a few devices that were modified with supernatural powers were intact.”

“...”

I thought with my mouth shut.

‘I think I know roughly what the situation is like on the 18th floor stage.’

Even though the terror was caused by the Paranormal Alliance, the technology that had been built up until now could not be used.

I knew what was going to happen then, without having to listen.

Presumably, most of the large cities were destroyed by the Paranormal Union, and only a few surviving areas would have defended the area from the Paranormal Union.

For some reason, the refugees are not even accepted, and the situation has reached its worst.

―In a word, it’s a tragedy caused by massive disregard for psychic powers.

Dam Chun-wu laughed at him, and Katia immediately continued.

“...The areas destroyed by the Paranormal Alliance are not functioning at all. That’s why we did robbery. There’s no way to live.”

“Why don’t we accept refugees from other regions?”

“They say that the Paranormal Alliance can sneak in, but it’s probably because most of the affected areas are close to slums.”

“....”

Most of the big cities are close to slums...

‘Is this a dystopia?’

It didn’t feel too good, so I immediately changed my mind and kept my mouth shut.

“...”

Now I have a sense of what the hidden setting of the 18th floor stage is.

‘Is the villain, the leader of the Paranormal Alliance, trying to become a god?’

Originally, faith is created by worshiping those who have power.

The leader of the Paranormal Alliance is worshiped for this and tries to become a god.

‘Because if you cause terror and get fear, that’s also a kind of faith.’

I don’t know if the leader of the Paranormal Alliance was aiming for this,

but I don’t know.

In addition, the reason why the world is getting closer and closer to destruction so fast that it can’t get out of hand.

And at the same time, I was able to figure out the solution.

‘Then, in the end, we have to end the Paranormal Association and cut off the supply and demand of faith.’

The people in this city should change the object of worship to me.

Perhaps the reason why the tower gave a special task called ‘Savior’ is to use this as an opportunity to grow.

“...”

I then frowned.

I even knew the solution of changing the ‘object of worship’ to me from the leader of the Paranormal Alliance.

There were still many issues with this.

I don’t know where the Paranormal Union is.

Even if you want to change the object of worship to me, I can’t come up with a very efficient way.

Really, I couldn’t help but rot my head.

‘Is it inevitable that I have to collect more annoying information?’

It was then.

「The authority skill ‘Blessing of the Hero’ is strongly activated.」

「Luck temporarily and violently increases.」

I tilted my head at the message that came to my mind when I was deep in my thoughts.

“What is this again...?”

It was worth it.

Because the warrior’s protection is a power that is activated only when skill synthesis is performed.

I didn’t understand why luck would suddenly increase when it’s not currently used.

‘I don’t know why this power was activated.’

But that was only for a moment.

「The exclusive skill book (SSS+) has finished analyzing the character of challenger Sungyoon Han.」 「

Accordingly, a skill suitable for the character of Sungyoon Han is created.

」

It was only when I saw the message that popped up that I realized it.

‘Come to think of it, I bought a dedicated skill book in the giant tree labyrinth.’

It was a perk that I completely forgot after I bought it at that time...

「Creates a dedicated skill,

Steal Faith (SS+)」 I lose.」

I finally understood why the warrior’s protection had been activated.

“Is this the power of luck...?”

The power to forcibly rob the faith dedicated to another deity...

‘This is what happens.’

At that, I smiled and thought.

“You’re lucky.”

The world says luck is everything.
