450. Muddy water (2)
It was brilliant.
Gooooh....
A high-ranking deity who has lived for over a thousand years has created a concept divinity that is no different from his own identity by extracting it voluntarily.
“...”
The holy relic, which looked like a golden mirror in front of me, was close to a work of art that no one of the upper deities could create.
「Unshakable Faith」
「Rating: EX」
「The mirror of the one who proves that is completed by combining the unshakable faith and divinity of a certain deity.」
「Exclusive effect ‘Confidence of Proof’ can be activated.」
「Exclusive effect ‘Proof of Proof’ When ‘Confidence’ is activated, you can select an opponent and steal one conceptual divinity for 10 minutes.」 「
However, the exclusive effect ‘Conviction of Proof’ is activated when the divinity and soul level of the opponent and the user are not equal. Cannot be done.”
「After activating the exclusive effect of the relic, a cooldown of 1 year occurs.
」 It was the result.
“This is...”
Top rated.
To the extent that it is taken for granted that another item of the same level as the ‘Book of Divine Replica (EX)’ obtained from the Tower of Trials is created.
Despite being one of the rarest relics I’ve ever seen, I was genuinely delighted and couldn’t get it.
“...why?”
no.
At this point, should I say the exact opposite?
Even while looking at the holy relic ‘Unshakable Faith (EX)’, the confusion grew and the pain was felt.
“...Why are you doing this to me?”
It’s nothing else...
“...why are you able to forge your divinity and soul into a holy relic so casually?”
This is because the holy relic ‘Unshakable Faith (EX)’ is a masterpiece created by a high-level deity giving up on himself.
Patter...
Divine power flowed like water from the chest of the God of Proof.
Shall we say that it looks like a water jar with a hole in it?
A situation in which the body and soul, which were strong enough to reach the end of the upper deity, were destroyed due to a disaster in which all conceptual divinities escaped.
The body and soul, which have the same role as a vessel to hold water, are broken, and the concept of divinity, the essential power to control the divine power, disappears, so the divine power can no longer stay in the body.
“...The loss of the conceptual divinity at the heart of the higher deity does not end with the loss of the deity itself.”
Understanding that it was a fatal wound that was tantamount to ending the life of a high-level deity, I didn’t know why the other side was so devoted to me.
“...Either I will die sooner or later, or I will become an idiot due to the loss of the ego that resides in the conceptual divinity, and I will live a life inferior to that of a mortal, and my life will be short-lived.”
It was worth it.
For God, concept divinity is the essence that defines himself and is close to another self.
In fact, losing all of the conceptual divinity of a higher deity is a punishment more terrible than death, and at the same time, it is a path that can only lead to destruction.
Dip-dip-.
“Right.”
By the way...
“Loss of prestige?”
Nevertheless, the god of proof replied casually with a pale face.
“well. That’s not what I know. I don’t want to live as a god doing things that would make me feel ashamed. That’s an insult to the followers who believe in me and follow me in a faraway place. And let me tell you.”
The god of proof laughed bitterly as he poured divine power from his chest like blood.
“I’m not real, I’m fake.”
“....”
real and fake.
I can say this because I know that the War of the Gods is nothing more than a reproduction of the past records created by the Tower of Trials.
The God of Proof continued to speak calmly, as if there was no longer any meaning to live on.
“I understand. This is the ‘real world’, not the ‘fake world’. And in this fake world, you’re the only main character. If I survive here, what do you think will be so different?”
“I don’t think so...”
“It will perish. At the same time as you swallow everything as the seed of ascension, the fake world that is not the real world just disappears and disappears. No matter what you think, it’s an undeniable fact that the odds are high.”
“Maybe not. Or with the power I have, the God of Proof could go to the real world together. Wouldn’t the story be different then? It’s not too late. So-.”
If so, it was just a non-issue.
Shuk.
‘Becoming a transcendental person and surpassing everything is the only way I live and the pride of life itself.’
After I had finished my thoughts, the god of proof was ready to go out.
“hmm. Somehow, the story became longer on the topic of fakes that are not real. Gradually, the curtain of divinity placed in the headquarters of the orderly camp will disappear... Let’s break up at this point. I wish you luck.”
Seeing that, I pondered for a moment on what to say before parting my lips.
“...not real, not fake.”
Took.
The God of Proof, who suddenly heard those words, looked back as if asking what the hell he was talking about, but did not change his words.
“...Even if all of this is just a story in a dream, the choices and decisions made by the god of proof are not fake beliefs that are not real.”
It’s not like lying.
“To me, you were a god of proof that was no different from a fake, and a person who chose to live a proud life without giving up on his way of life to the end.”
“...”
Because it’s true.
“Even if it is worthless to others, the way of life and pride in life you showed me was real, not fake.”
This god of proof standing in front of my eyes chose the real life, not the fake one, with my own hands in the end, even if it was a fake that existed in the fake world, not the real world.
“...is it?”
If so, that was real.
“...What a lucky day.”
Is that why?
“Thanks to you, I can end my life real, not fake.”
swish
“Thank you.”
As it was, the god of proof laughed once more, then turned his back and headed outside.
“...You must have given me the qualifications, will and opportunity to move forward as well.”
and.
“...Thanks to your words, even until the moment everything beyond this turns into a handful of sand and disappears, I can proudly say that I have lived a proud life without regrets.”
next moment.
“God of transcendence and death.”
In the blink of an eye, the god of proof went out of the headquarters of the orderly camp, and at the same time the shape of the body blurred, only the last words resounded quietly.
“Prove it.”
For some reason, gloomy flowed from the words of the author, who would have become a being that was not even a higher-ranking deity.
“...show them who you are.”
How many steps are left until you become a transcendent?
“—Because transcendental beings are what they should be.”
Hey hey hey hey hey—.
No need to waste any more time.
thud-.
The huge stone gate closes.
I couldn’t go outside until about ten minutes had passed.
It was because I was thinking about how to respond to what the other side said.
Feed-.
but for a while.
“Is it the way transcendent people live?”
It’s nothing else...
“Even if you didn’t tell them specifically, they would have told them at least who I was.”
That means one thing.
[Folding Vortex]
Chijijijijijijijijik...!!
It was simple.
「The god of transcendence and death smiles as
she thinks
of the great war that will happen in the future.」 it was time to go
