Chapter 387

387. Dimension Competition (3)

The system message that appeared in front of me announced the end of the break.

“Time is up.”

“It is time to move on to the next stage.”

“The next stage will be a competition between multiple dimensions.” “

Prepare for a large-scale battle.”

made by competition.

Of course, it’s not worlds where names like Ares or Murim are widely known, but...

Still, they have fought against challengers from the other world who have enough careers to climb the tower in their own way.

If so, something is different this time.

“...”

He narrowed his eyes and lost his thoughts.

‘In a word, it must mean that I will be fighting with numerous challengers from the other world.’

If I had to ask, would it be a kind of death match?

It means that we have to fight a large-scale battle not against challengers from one world, but against numerous challengers from another world.

But...

I didn’t feel pressured by it.

After all, even before becoming an ancient deity, didn’t this side have the best compatibility in a large-scale melee?

Even if it was a melee with challengers without a single unique divinity, there would be no tension.

‘Anyway.’

Not even that.

Based on the transcendental myth < Absolute Immutability >, all abilities are fully preserved.

In fact, there was no way to change the game unless an ancient deity or a higher deity appeared on the other side.

‘I don’t know if a challenger like the emperor appears, but it’s worth fighting for.’

Of course, I was looking forward to the confrontation with the Moorim people, who were called Pacheonhwang.

No matter what, he was the person who was said to be the closest to the strongest in Moorim, and he was feared by many challengers.

But, in other words, if it wasn’t for a challenger like Pa-Tenwang, it wouldn’t be worth dealing with on this side.

‘Come to think of it, didn’t I say that even the Emperor of Heaven wouldn’t come out of the cradle?’

Is that why?

‘Perhaps if I’m lucky, I’ll be able to meet the Emperor Pa here.’

I stood there with no particular expectations or thoughts.

「※You enter the next stage immediately after 10 seconds.」

「※You enter the next stage immediately after 7 seconds...」

「 ※You enter the next stage immediately after 4 seconds...」

.

「You have entered the Dimensional Cradle < Island of Selection and Wealth [A-?] >.」

The moment the countdown foreshadowing that we will move on to the next stage is completely over.

「Dimensional Cradle < Island of Selection and Flotation [A-?] > challenge has occurred.」

「Challenge Description: Challengers from Earth work together to obtain 10 or more ‘Tokens of Selection’, then ‘Affluence’ Enter the ‘Island’ and steal the ‘Void Stone’.」

「Characteristics of Challenge: This is the final stage. For every 10 challengers from other worlds you kill, you will receive a ‘Seal of Selection’.」 「Challenge

Success Condition: Completely dominate the Void Stone (0/1)」

「Challenge Success Reward: Dimension-exclusive barrier (EX) · Skill proficiency increase potion (A+) · Selection and richness

bracelet (A+)」

‘The final stage...?’

And that’s not the end.

The system message that appeared in the field of vision announced that this was the final stage of the dimensional cradle.

Maybe if I don’t win in this last stage, I might face the worst result...

Only then did I notice a certain fact.

‘Then doesn’t that mean that all challengers from other worlds will also gather here?’

The fact that this is not a stage that I can pass as easily as I thought.

「...」

And then.

「Conditions satisfied.」 「All official climbing dimensions that have been recognized in the Tower of

Trials have reached the final stage.」

Depending on the percentage, it gives the owner tremendous power.”

That means one thing.

「The challenge ends when the control rate of the ‘Void Stone’ on the Floating Island reaches 100%.

」

“The ‘Void Stone’ in the dimension cradle < Island of Selection and Wealth [A-?] > is occupied by the challenger, ‘Fa-

Emperor’. ”

In fact, a challenger who is treated as the strongest among the people from Moorim.

That’s how he gained immense power in this last stage and became a sort of final boss.

「The Tower of Trials is supplying power to the challenger, the Wave Emperor, according to the void stone control rate.

」

***

Before I knew it, I clenched my fists as I read the system messages.

“...”

It was the worst.

Bondi, this was supposed to be a situation where there was an overwhelming massacre on this side.

However, if the Tower of Trials was directly supplying power, many things had to change.

‘To think that the tower directly intervened and gave strength, as in the battlefield of the gods...’

It was understandable.

Because the Tower of Trials is a structure with transcendent power equal to or even greater than that of an ancient deity.

“The god of transcendence and death sentences you to death.”

[Let’s end the tag game right away. ]

next moment.

「The Authority skill ‘Starlight’ is activated, and starlight containing divine < death > is created

.

In the blink of an eye, black starlight swept all over the island and said the end.

***

Indeed, the fight itself went as expected.

「Challenger Seongyoon Han won against multiple challengers, bringing her 0.61% closer to [Transcendence]」

「Absorbed the spirit of challenger ‘Katram’」

「Absorbed the spirit of challenger ‘Gigirik’...”

「Absorbed the spirit of challenger ‘Irak’...」

「...」

No.

Is it really necessary to call this a fight?

Before I knew it, I was searching for and killing challengers from other worlds one by one who had not been killed by the divine starlight.

‘It’s annoying that there are guys who have the ability to protect against divinity or have the kind of skills to withstand it.’

But even that didn’t last long.

I’m sorry-!

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah”

The level of ancient divinity that this side has reached was not obtained by gambling.

As it was, I continued my high-speed flight and cut off the breath of the challengers who were prolonging their lives in various parts of the island.

It wasn’t that hard.

Anyway, among the challengers here, only the sword masters of the Ares dimension or the masters of the Murim dimension were the only ones who were strong.

Just...

“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

“You monster child! The Empire’s 91st Sword Master, Karmian von Yuglaus, will deal with you...!! Kuck-!?”

“Ph-p-p time! As long as he’s a human, he’ll be tired! Don’t give him a chance to recover and let him use all his abilities!”

It was literally just a one-sided massacre.

Somehow, there were some challengers from the other world who hoped that they would get tired of seeing me, but they realized it sooner or later.

The fact that this one doesn’t get tired.

And even that is not enough, I can overwhelm them with pure physical ability alone without showing the cards in my hand.

「Kill 10 challengers from another world to obtain 1 ‘Mark of Selection’.」 「

Kill 10 challengers from another world to obtain 1 ‘Mark of Selection’...

」 Kill 10 challengers and get 1 “mark of selection”...」

How much time has passed since then.

「...」

「You killed more than 100 challengers from other worlds and collected a total of 10 ‘Tokens of Selection’.

」 It is now possible to enter the ‘Floating Island’.

」

Seeing the system message appearing in front of my eyes, I muttered that, brushing the blood off my sword and kicking the ground.

fault-!

And...

“Is this the main topic now?”

As it was, I landed in front of the entrance to the floating island in the center of the island and walked beyond it.

“....”

Is it because the contents of the entrance condition in the final stage were met?

The shield built by the Tower of Trials was easily passable without getting in the way.

And in silence, I continued to observe a little about this place named Floating Island.

‘It’s light.’

Everything in front of me was floating.

As if gravity itself was acting weakly on this floating island.

It’s just that the weakened gravity doesn’t apply to people, so there was no particular inspiration from this side’s point of view.

It is obvious that even the weakening gravity would have been erased with the transcendental myth < Absolutely Unchanging > anyway, so there is no need to attach meaning to it.

‘By the way, where is Emperor Pa...’

But that’s for a while.

───

!Suddenly, a tremendous shock resonated from the upper part of the floating island, followed by a system message.

Chak-.

But...

it wasn’t just the system message that appeared in front of me.

As I was looking up at the upper floors of the floating island, a man with a relaxed look appeared there.

「The god of emptiness looks at your eyes with interest.」

[You...]

And then.

[I can tell at a glance. ]

The laid-back man wore a black uniform and had his hair tied back.

Just like most of the challengers from Moorim do.

That means one thing.

[That level of power, that level of power. Not common. It’s even less common among challengers who come here. ]

It’s nothing else....

[You’re the ‘hunter’, right?]

That man was the emperor.
