Chapter 208

208. Faith (1)

Robbery of faith.

I immediately activated the newly created exclusive skill while looking at the gray orb floating in the sky.

「The exclusive skill ‘stealing faith’ is activated.」

And...

“Ah.”

It was felt.

The divine power accumulated inside the body is harvesting new faith.

Unlike when building faith indirectly, the flow of faith is clearly caught in the senses.

It was a skill I activated without thinking too much about it... but

its effectiveness was indescribable.

‘Is this faith...’

It was different from when I gathered the emotions of the people around me as a consumption resource to use in creating a myth through the Faith Harvest Power.

I didn’t feel anything from the faith I had gathered through the Faith Harvest Power before....

As I was robbing the faith that flows to the source of the godhead, I felt the divine power in my heart fluctuate according to my faith.

very violently too.

‘I can feel the emotion.’

It was clearly revealed which emotions flowed as faith.

Fear, awe, anger, denial, sadness, etc...

Most of the terrible emotions gathered like a whirlwind and settled in my heart.

It didn’t feel too good.

To think that so many faiths are gathered based on the suffering of so many people.

It was an unpleasant phenomenon indeed.

Even though I valued efficiency, I didn’t want to become stronger by suffering innocent people.

But the gray orb floating in the sky was different.

The source of Godhead in this world was approaching the place of Godhead through everyone’s suffering.

‘I have to rob the faith as quickly as possible to deal with the source of the godhead.’

It was the moment when he quietly narrowed his eyes and raised his murderous intent.

「The exclusive skill, ‘Stealing Faith’, is disabled due to interruption by an external factor.」

Suddenly, the supply of faith flowing into the heart stopped as if a tight thread was being cut.

The cause could be read from the short phrase that popped up in the system message.

Interference by external factors.

Without thinking too deeply, it was the work of the gray sphere, the source of godhood.

It was a natural guess, since only the gray orb had the power to stop the usurpation of the faith.

“....”

After touching my chin for a while, I tried to steal my faith several times.

Tring Tring Tring Tring...!

However, the robbery of faith was repeated several times, and the use of the skill was canceled in less than a second.

Because of that, I couldn’t gather faith steadily like before.

Perhaps this way, the supply of faith won’t be cut off until the remaining time on the 18th floor is exhausted.

Realizing that it was pointless, I stopped using Faith Heist.

However, there were also facts that could be known from this.

‘...Is it a special case that prevented the robbery of faith?’

The gray orb was not blocking the usurpation of faith with divinity or authority.

It is to increase the density by unifying the flow of faith into one so that it does not slip out of the side road.

Previously, there were hundreds of weak streams of faith, so if you took one of them, this would be different.

‘The supply of faith is greater than expected.’

After the streams of faith that had crossed the spirits were merged into one passage.

Because of the cohesive power of faith that has grown stronger, it has become impossible to use Divinity Steal.

This is a phenomenon that occurred when all the faith gathered from all over the world was driven into one passage.

‘There are too many beliefs in one stream, so I can’t break through the cohesion of beliefs attached to each other.’

The solution was clear.

That is...

to reduce the amount of Faith flowing into the Gray Sphere from all over the world.

that could be said to be correct.

And I also learned what to do through it.

‘It’s important to dismantle the Paranormal Union.’

The Paranormal Alliance, a terrorist group with a prospective deity as its leader, had to be completely eliminated and people had to be given hope, not pain.

As I put all my thoughts together, I heard a voice.

“I’m sorry, but can we just go...?”

It was Katya who was caught by me while robbing.

She glanced at her injured comrades and asked the question as carefully as possible.

Rabel Khan drank the wine from the glass on the table and laughed.

“Kuh. As ‘He’ said. The strong had to be above the weak.”

The ‘usurper’, who is called the leader of the Paranormal Union, made claims to the members of the Paranormal Union.

—This is an era of ignorance that lowers the value of humans, the value of supernatural powers, and the value of the strong.

This world, where only machines are more important than human life, is wrong.

It’s strange that inferior ordinary people who don’t even have psychic powers don’t treat psychic people better than machines.

So, the psychics must unite and erase all the machines in the world and return the world to its original state once.

‘You were really right.’

The leader of the Paranormal Alliance, ‘The Usurper’, was a transcendental person who obtained numerous superpowers.

He disabled all machines in many areas of Silidin.

Machines that do not reach superpowers are impossible to use at all.

Of course, some areas are maintaining their original state due to the lack of power of the ‘Ustorer’.

‘The big city of Silidin, as well as all the machines in the world, will disappear.’

Rabel Khan did not doubt that even that would soon be neutralized.

He will be like that....

“On the day the gray sphere is completed, ‘he’ will return as the god of the new world.”

Because the leader of the Paranormal Alliance, the ‘Ustorer’, said he would return as a god.

If anyone else had heard this, they would have said it was funny... but

none of the members of the Paranormal Alliance doubted this in the slightest.

This is because now the ‘Usurper’ is completely out of human standards.

His almost omnipotent power gave everyone faith that it wouldn’t be strange even if he became a god.

It was the same with Rabelkan.

Please look forward to the day when the ‘extortioner’ returns, and he just fulfills his role.

“I look forward to it. The day when the world will return to its original state. Then it will be a more beautiful world than this.”

It was when Rabelkan was sipping wine in rapture.

Kwaaang!

“...uh?”

Suddenly, the door to the office was smashed and someone else’s voice resounded in the office.

“They said he was a broker of the Paranormal Association. The level of security is not that high.”

At that, Rabelkan raised his head and looked at the source of the voice he heard from the front.

and.

“Say the word and go! What should I do if I destroy the broker’s office like this!”

“This is what I have in mind. And I don’t like guides talking too much.”

“...Uh hmm. sorry. I’ll just be quiet.”

“That’s a good idea. You don’t have to tell me.”

Rabel Khan caught sight of a young man wearing a tailcoat and equipped with twin swords entering the office.

There was a woman behind it, but judging from the conversation, it didn’t seem to matter anyway.

“I’m going to talk to this broker from now on anyway.”

At that, Rabel Khan blinked for a moment, then crumpled his face and showed a murderous intent.

“What are you?”

However, he calmly endured Rabel Khan’s death and answered without hesitation.

“A person with a great interest in the Paranormal Union.”

“...under. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a crazy guy.”

An ominous red light shone in Rabelkan’s eyes.

“He looks like a psychopath addicted to playing heroes...Unlike comics, there are no such things as heroes in reality.”

He stood up from his office chair and looked at the young man in a pitiful way, clasping his hands tightly.

“I’ll end my hero play here today.”

After those words, Rabel Khan’s fingertips turned black and his entire body was grotesquely twisted.

Magicalization.

Transformation-type psychic powers that led Rabel Khan, who was just a slum born from the ruling class, to become an executive of the Paranormal Alliance.

As it was activated, black horns sprouted from Rabel Khan’s head, and a beast-like black tail grew from his waist.

“I will make you a sacrifice to ‘Him’.”

Rabelkan said that with his eyes glistening like those of a reptile.

The physique and energy that grew in the blink of an eye were unusual.

“Could it be that among the psychic powers there is also the ability to turn into a demon?”

However, the power of Rabel Khan, who is promoted as the highest level of superpowers in the transformation world...

“It’s amazing, but...”

The next moment.

Wow...!!

「The skill ‘Manmaji King萬魔之王’ is activated.」

“That’s useless to me.”

It was suppressed by the demon king’s power flowing from Han Seong-yoon’s body and was terribly crushed.
