Chapter 424

424. War of the Gods (1)

It was not speculation, but certainty.

‘For the Tower of Trials, the divine < Creation >, the divine < Law >, and the divine < Miracle > are elements that are no different from the basis of power.’

At first, I thought that the possibility of coincidence or illusion could not be ruled out, so I did not hastily conclude that something was correct, but not anymore.

‘The three ancient deities, the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles, must be related to the Tower of Trials in some way.’

The tower of trials and the beings called the three ancient deities must be closely related in some way.

‘And then...’

I calmly gazed at a building placed in the divine realm < Model Garden > with calm eyes.

‘It would be even more so if you saw what the God of Creation, one of the three ancient deities, had created in the divine realm.’

A majestic gray pillar towering high into the sky, resembling a clumsy imitation of the Tower of Trials.

“What is the relationship between the Tower of Trials and the beings called the three ancient gods...”

So-.

“You should not hide what you know about that part, and you should answer everything without leaving out.”

[ .... ]

There was not even room for disagreement.

Of course, the question asked by this side is a story that the other side cannot answer lightly, so it may come out uncooperatively... Anyway, if you

can find out various secrets about the Tower of Trials from the God of Creation, it will be somewhat coercive. could have resorted to means.

‘It’s a chance to find out the most important information about the Tower of Trials.’

Kwaaaak-.

‘If I can hear the other person’s answer in some way, I’ll have to use a method of forcibly tapping and pressing depending on the situation.’

There was nothing I couldn’t do.

Of course, as befits the three ancient deities, the God of Creation must have great power, but even taking that into account, it is not impossible if he has accumulated strength while climbing the Tower of Trials.

If you poured out all the supernatural powers and skills of the divine at once, you would be able to press down with overwhelming power for a while.

‘Wouldn’t the chances of winning be high enough?’

Currently, most abilities such as divinity, authority, or skills that this side has are out of cooldown.

‘A surprise attack would be possible.’

Heart rate rises gradually.

“...”

But there was no shaking.

It’s just that they are ready to launch a surprise attack at any time so that they can unleash their full strength and take down the god of creation.

Depending on the answer, one of the reasons for the nervousness was that having to forcibly dig up the desired information immediately after the surprise attack... In fact, the

nervousness was based on expectations.

‘...either way, it won’t change the fact that we can learn a lot from this story.’

From now on, I will know in some way how the Tower of Trials and the beings called the three ancient gods are intertwined.

‘...If I can find out where the Tower of Trials came from and where it is based, I can accomplish more.’

But...

“The god of creation frowns and mumbles as if he doesn’t understand.”

[ ...Tower of Trials? ]

Why?

[ ...what the heck is that? ]

The God of Creation replied in a tone full of embarrassment as if he didn’t know at all.

[ ...First of all, I think I can answer somehow if I know what the ‘Tower of Trials’ means. ]

Just like the God of Proof that I encountered when I first entered the trial stage on the 36th floor, I didn’t know anything about the Tower of Trials.

“...”

There was really nothing different.

「The skill ‘Fire Dragon’s Eye’ detects that there is no lie in the opponent’s words.」

Strange.

The Tower of Trials and the beings called the three ancient deities must be deeply related to each other.

Even more so, in the divine realm < Model Garden >, there are even gray pillars resembling the Tower of Trials, but it doesn’t make sense to know nothing about them.

However, he had no choice but to back down after confirming that it was not a lie that the God of Creation did not know about the Tower of Trials.

‘...let’s not be impatient.’

At that, I narrowed my eyes and regained my composure.

I said it as if I was dumbfounded.

“In fact, if it is an ancient deity called the head of the universe, can it not be called the ruler of the universe?”

It was worth it.

Originally, at the point where the concept of divinity was engraved into the universe and even obtained immortality, these ancient deities are beings that can be said to be the rulers of the universe.

Couldn’t he have done something grandiose like the war of the gods just to be reborn as the ruler of the universe as the other side said?

“The fact that he transformed himself into divinity itself and gained conceptual immortality means that he has been reborn as one of the chiefs of the universe.”

[ ...well. It’s just an appearance reflected on those who are high-ranking deities or formal deities. There is no such thing as speed. ]

“?”

[Among the ancient deities called the rulers of this universe, don’t you know that the rest, excluding the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God, are more of a superficial ruler with no real authority? ]

“....”

One, and that for a while.

[Supreme of the universe? It’s just a position of authority for those like higher deities or full deities. In fact, not all ancient deities are in the same position. ]

“....”

[Honestly, isn’t it? Didn’t like that. That’s how the war of the gods started. It’s just a story, nothing more, nothing less. ]

“I see.”

Listening to what the God of Creation said while sighing, I was able to guess that this was not the case.

‘Is it real power...’

In reality, as long as there are overwhelmingly strong people like the God of Darkness, the Demon God, or the Dragon God, it was understood that those like the three ancient gods could not be said to be the rulers of the universe.

‘I might feel that way.’

Yes, in this universe, even though the ancient deity itself is a lofty level that is revered as the head of the universe, there is no superiority or inferiority among them.

‘No matter what, it’s not wrong.’

But...

‘But somehow it’s kind of annoying.’

However, even so, it was an answer that could not erase the feeling that what the God of Creation said was somehow only for superficial reasons.

‘Am I the ruler of the universe?’

Would you say that the feeling of going somewhere is strong?

“...”

But that was all.

As before, I tried to determine whether the opponent’s words were real or fake by using the skill ‘Hwaryong’, but nothing changed.

Without a single lie, the God of Creation was in a position where he could no longer question anything because he only spoke the truth.

「The god of creation looks at you and smiles.

」 ]

Hearing those words, I nodded my head, feeling somehow intrusive.

“...Well, it’s something I can relate to to a certain extent, so it’s ambiguous to say that it’s all a lie.”

However, since I know that the other side has never told a lie, I have no choice but to move on after solving only moderately curious things.

“Now, out of the three opportunities to get an answer from you, are there only two left?”

As it was, I handed over the rest of the questions in a voice full of regret.

“Shall we finish it soon?”

and.

“Didn’t you say that when you contributed to victory in the War of the Gods, you would make something according to your contribution?”

[ ...okay. Those who have accumulated a lot of contributions to victory in the war of the gods can get something just as valuable. whatever it is I’ll bet that for sure. ]

next moment.

“If you tell me how the rewards are given based on your contribution when you win the War of the Gods and the range of options for that victory reward, I’ll end the question here.”

[ ...hmm. Aside from how rewards are given when you win, what does it mean specifically to ask for a range of options for victory rewards? ]

“For example, even if you ask me to make a holy relic that you have never seen before, if the level of contribution to victory is high, you can make it?”

[ ...it will be possible. maybe. Even if it’s a relic or artifact that I don’t know about, like you said, it’s not difficult to make one if you want it.]

“... Ha.”

I was thrilled.

“You mean that?”

It’s not different-.

“That is really good news.”

It was like a miracle that he could get another ‘Sacred Replica Book (EX)’ that would allow him to acquire any divinity.
