Chapter 467

467. Fate (4)

God of darkness.

One of the cosmic lords, the three ancient gods, stood before me.

Even if this side had robbed the sacred with the relic ‘Unwavering Faith (EX)’, the difference in skill between them was by no means small.

‘...Of the three ancient gods, I have faced the Demon God and the Dragon God, but both were formidable opponents.’

It was certain.

‘...So the God of Darkness must also have an incredible level of strength, close to that of a Demon God, a Dragon God, or even higher.’

Demon God and Dragon God.

I faced two of the three ancient gods, but none of them were weak or below expectations.

Perhaps the God of Darkness standing before us is an unknown being who may be the strongest of the three ancient gods.

‘If you think about how he was overwhelmed by the God of Darkness earlier with his divine supernormal ability without any time to resist, you can guess the approximate level of his strength.’

Moreover, since this side already had the experience of being unilaterally defeated by the God of Darkness, they were able to gauge the strength of their opponent to some extent.

‘They probably have many special abilities related to special moves and survival or defense like the Demon God and the Dragon God.’

Yes.

The three ancient gods had the power to ‘definitely’ defeat the opponent or prevent a life-threatening crisis like my sacred or divine .

The God of Darkness also has not only the divine but also divine supernormal abilities that contain various conceptual supernormal abilities, so there are more than one area to be wary of.

‘...You can use Holy since you have entered a new battle phase, but you cannot use abilities like Holy or the skill ‘Final Resistance’ due to the cooldown time.’

In other words, if the God of Darkness surprises and uses certain divine supernormal abilities that are close to certain death or death in succession, there is a possibility of being helpless.

‘Of course, unlike before, I may have to use some of my strength to forcibly shake it off, but that doesn’t mean I can let down my guard.’

In response, I slowly raised my level of divinity and soul and began to be wary of what moves the opponent would use.

Gooooo...!!

However, this time, unlike before, even if you cast a special move that cannot be avoided with the Holy , Holy , and Holy , you will not be easily defeated because you can aim for a forced destruction with the Holy .

“...Before we fight each other, I have something to ask the Dark God.”

Knowing that fact, I decided that I had some preparations in place, so I stared at the god of darkness for a few seconds and burned my lips.

“...Do you think the God of Darkness will stop helping the God of Time and cooperate with me even now?”

At the very least, it was necessary to check whether there was any hope left in persuading the God of Darkness.

The God of Darkness was still buried in the abyss created by the sacred and was not giving any answer, but he had no intention of quitting.

As it was, I continued to speak to the God of Darkness, raising my divinity and mana energy to the limit to avoid being surprised by any chance.

“God of time. We do not know what the ancient godhead promised the dark god. But even so, I don’t think there’s an absolute reason for him not to join me.”

With sincerity.

“Unless the God of Darkness is standing here for some reason that has no choice but to help the God of Time, there may be no need for us to argue.”

I continued speaking with my emotions clearly visible so that the God of Darkness would not think I was lying.

“If we don’t have different intentions, I think it would be better to achieve what we each want through cooperation rather than fighting like this.”

But...

[The God of Darkness answers with a bitter smile as if he is truly sorry.]

[ ...Well. God of Time, if I were to put it in detail, there would be no reason to help that foolish thing. But kid. Apart from that, I cannot agree with you. ]

Things in the world did not turn out so easily.

Sssss-.

The God of Darkness answered as he laid his curvaceous body, visible through his black robe, further into the abyss.

[ ...Oh my. There is no way we can agree on anything, so give up. God of Time My wish will not come true if I do not help that foolish opportunist. There is no need to change your mind. ]

Before he could ask anything more, he answered preemptively as if he knew what the God of Darkness was curious about.

[ okay. You might want to ask me what my purpose is? Is it because this world is a ‘fake world’ and not a ‘real world’? The answer to that part would be half right and half wrong. ]

Half of it was right, but half of it was wrong....

‘What does that mean?’

Before we could even say our question, the God of Darkness gave us an answer again.

[It’s simple. It just literally means that my will cannot be achieved if I am with you. I want to stand by and watch the glory of the brilliant light reaching the highest heights. It is a position that cannot be given up. ]

It was difficult to understand.

But still, there was something to be guessed about.

In response, I pursed my lips and let out a guess, keeping my mind in doubt.

“...Are you referring to me when you say that you want to stand by and watch the glory of that brilliant light reaching the highest point?”

If the Tower of Trials hadn’t chosen us that day before we despaired and gave up everything, no story would have started.

‘From the beginning, I had the talent of the soul to blossom into the divine ...’

This is an unconvincing story.

‘If I had an innate soul talent that could not help but blossom into the divine , I wouldn’t have been driven to the edge like that, right?’

A sense of heterogeneity.

‘If that’s true, does that mean that the divine is a power gained thanks to the Tower of Trials, or is it even a divine supernormal ability that came from something I possess?’

There was no need to press for an answer.

[The God of Darkness looks at you with confidence once again.]

[Is that all? Divine is also a divine supernormal ability that is in no way inferior to divine . It is also a path created by your life and ego... Even if you gather all the gods that exist in the entire universe, I think there is no one that can compare to you. ]

Even if this side did not ask questions nervously, the other side came up with the answer on their own.

“....”

I tried to say something to the god of darkness, but for some reason my lips couldn’t separate.

‘...There’s something strange about it.’

It was bizarre.

‘...If the sacred is the power I gained by climbing the Tower of Trials, and the divine is the power I would have gained even if I had not climbed the Tower of Trials, then there are many strange aspects.’

Why?

‘Why was it that I couldn’t obtain divinity before the Tower of Trials appeared and had to be so weak?’

It was a contradiction.

As an enemy who was not selected by the Tower of Trials, not only was it impossible to increase all my abilities due to the aptitude limit of the system, but I was also unable to acquire a single skill.

Wouldn’t it make sense if this person was born with the fate of acquiring divinity and engraved into their souls due to their natural talent?

‘...wait for a sec.’

As a result, I was able to more accurately recall why I could not become stronger without the Tower of Trials.

‘─System?’

system.

Before I was selected for the Tower of Trials, it was impossible for me to become stronger in any way due to the aptitude limitations of the ‘system’.

Wasn’t it a minor dimension that wasn’t chosen for the Tower of Trials, or was it the law of a world that basically didn’t seem to exist in a world like Wulin?

━Ah.... It may not be visible to trash, but it was very clear to me.

━The possibility of developing a concept of divinity was engraved in you from the beginning in the talent of your soul.

━No matter which world you were born in, if you found a way to awaken the energy of mana, you would most likely become an ancient god with great power.

At that moment, a story from the God of Darkness began to circulate wildly in my head, causing me to come up with several strange guesses.

In fact, according to what she said, if only I had found a way to manipulate the energy of mana, I would have become much stronger.

However, among the great dimensions chosen for the Tower of Trials, whether it was Wulin or a world like Ares, there were many training methods to sharpen the energy of mana.

‘─I am.’

A situation where only the Earth dimension meant that one had to become an awakener and obtain the system in order to refine the energy of mana according to the aptitude for the system.

‘-Why on earth couldn’t I become stronger at all?’

As I began to instinctively realize what it meant, I forced myself to cut off my thoughts and stretched out my feet forward.

Whoops-!

If I continued to think deeply about this like this, there was a high possibility that I would get caught up in the other person’s intentions and start a fight with a losing psychological battle.

“...I think it would be best to stop talking about useless things here.”

With my eyes calmly focused, I parted my lips and spoke.

“-Anyway, doesn’t this mean that the God of Darkness has no intention of helping me at all?”

Even if there are doubts about our ability to obtain divine and divine , it does not change the fact that we must fight the god of darkness.

[The God of Darkness shows bitterness at your words, but at the same time affirms them.]

[Yes. Child, to me, you are a brilliant light, and that fact does not change even if what is here is not the ‘me’ of the ‘real world’ but the ‘me’ of the ‘fake world’. If I could go up with you to the ‘real world’ up there, I would do whatever it takes. ]

In response, I cut off the illusions and thoughts that were spreading polluting my mind like a knife and forged only one thought.

“Then it’s as simple as that.”

and-.

[The Demon God of Transcendence and Death realizes that negotiations with the other party have broken down and emits murderous intent and hostility.] [

─From now on, that side will definitely die as a reward for rejecting this offer.]

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa you you you you you you you you you are !

At that moment, I became a living natural disaster, spewing out divinity, mana, and magical energy like a storm, and ran forward viciously.
