Chapter 484

484. Wall (2)

The qualification for ascension obtained through the myth does not disappear even if the start of ascension is stopped.

This became certain through the act of just creating a very small gap in the door of ascension.

The door of ascension engraved on the soul has not disappeared, and the key to ascension imprinted on the body can also be used to open the door of ascension depending on the intention to activate it.

‘...Well, considering that ascension itself is close to suicide, it would be better to refrain from opening the door to ascension until the end.’

step.

Because I myself do not wish for the beginning of ascension to resume, I did not completely open the door to ascension engraved deep within my soul.

It is not easy to draw strength little by little from beyond the gate of ascension so that the status of divinity and soul is not weakened further due to the bondage of death that was engraved on oneself through divinity .

In that case, if you completely open the door to ascension and covet excessive power, there is a possibility that the start of ascension will be forced and you may become an unintelligent transcendental without your will.

There was a need to be cautious.

‘The Gate of Ascension allows you to raise the hierarchy of divinity to the limit without any compensation, but we don’t know how long that will last.’

It was worth it.

The Gate of Ascension is the greatest path to challenge ascension and become a transcendent, and no one in the entire universe has reached this point.

Not only the three ancient gods, but also the Irregular, the god of despair, fall, and madness, would not have been able to challenge ascension.

‘This is especially true if I say that I am the first ancient godhead to reach the gate of ascension.’

Doesn’t that mean that no one knows what side effects will follow if one touches the door of ascension at will?

‘If the door to ascension continues to be opened and closed as it is now, in the worst case, there is a possibility that the start of ascension, which was interrupted last time, will resume again.’

Challenging ascension and embarking on the path to becoming a transcendent is not something to be taken lightly.

The Gate of Ascension and the beginning of Ascension beyond the Gate of Ascension were a blessing and a curse that even the ancient gods could not bear.

If the door to ascension is opened unintentionally and the ascension begins again, unlike the last time, it may not be possible to end it by imposing mortal restrictions on oneself through divine .

‘Isn’t it both unprecedented luck and misfortune that there are no restrictions whatsoever on challenging for ascension?...’

If I were to be honest, I think it would be fair to say that I have become a life-limited person.

However, apart from that, it didn’t feel particularly despairing or sad.

From the beginning, even though this person became an ancient god and was reborn as immortal, didn’t they spend their days closer to death than life?

Now that I am reminded that there are only a few days left to live, I cannot feel any meaning because I have no intention of taking too long.

‘It doesn’t matter because I don’t think I will have too much time even if I live a life time-limited life until I have to face not only the ancient gods of the pantheon, but also the gods of despair, fall, and madness.’

obviously.

Moreover, since this side has achieved a hierarchy of divinity at the same level as the three ancient deities, there will be no restrictions on its activities.

However, if the door to ascension opens again one day and the beginning of ascension takes place once again, then we will inevitably have to be tested in the beginning of ascension.

‘I think I know roughly.’

At the beginning of my ascension, I came into contact with the truth of the universe itself and came to understand many things.

The transcendental person was a being beyond the sky who blossomed into ‘omnipotence’ by realizing ‘omniknowledge’.

Therefore, at the beginning of the ascension to become a transcendent, the challenger must be tempered as a ‘vessel’ to accept the truth of the universe.

As a result, the challenger who ascended to heaven to accept the truth of the universe itself becomes a transcendental person who has lost his intelligence and meets an undesirable ending.

There is one solution.

‘It’s not that I couldn’t accomplish anything in the beginning of Ascension.’

With the onset of ascension, optimization of the soul itself is underway in order to become a transcendent.

In other words, doesn’t that mean that if you ascend to heaven with optimization already completed, there will be no loss of intelligence due to changes in the soul?

I realized something by forcing myself to stop the start of ascension and escape beyond the door of ascension that I reached through the myth .

‘In the end, a transcendent refers to a being who understands and accepts the truth of all universes and is reborn as a new universe itself.’

And...

‘It’s impossible to say for sure whether it will succeed or fail...’

That’s why I was confident.

‘You wouldn’t know it if you became the truth of the concept and the law of nature itself, rather than a vessel to accommodate knowledge.’

In the future, if you gather the power you will gain by climbing the Tower of Trials to the final floor and the power you will gain by killing the ancient gods, you will be able to overcome even the beginning of ascension.

‘Just like the Tower of Trials did in the distant past.’

That too for sure.

***

Ascension and once I stopped thinking about the transcendent, what I had to do became clear.

First, I will climb the Tower of Trials to the final floor and obtain every reward I can get without leaving anything behind.

Then, any power will be honed to its limit until the ancient deities of the pantheon or the gods of despair, fall, and madness reveal their magical powers.

-Crazy guy.

When I told Dam Cheon-woo about our planned future schedule, he responded as if he was astonished.

―You want to climb the Tower of Trials to the final floor? Since there is quite a bit of time left, should we prepare for a decisive battle against a powerful enemy? To you, the Tower of Trials is now just a hill behind the neighborhood?

“....”

However, Dam Cheon-woo’s dissatisfaction did not end there, as he continued to grumble.

―Not to mention the fact that as soon as you returned to the waiting room after the War of the Gods ended, you attempted to ascend to heaven without any particular worries and nearly died... It is clear that your mind has gone even crazier than before.

Perhaps it bothers me that this side did not respond to Dam Cheon-woo’s call and instead freely activated the myth and attempted to ascend to heaven... -You know, right

? Ancient deity. A being who transformed himself into a concept of divinity and acquired an immortal body is also not invincible. It would be even more so if it were you.

“Well, I killed more than one ancient god with divine . “I know it very well.”

-Becoming stronger? It’s not that I don’t understand that idea either. However, there are degrees to that too. Han Seong-yoon When I look at you, I can’t help but feel ominous thoughts these days.

“....”

Now that we’ve been together for a long time, maybe we’ve developed a lot of affection for each other?

―...I think it wouldn’t be strange if one day you suddenly failed to ascend to heaven and died. This person is neither the living nor the dead. Aren’t the managers who signed a contract with you and the people on Earth not like that?

“....”

―Aren’t there people on Earth who have a connection to you, as well as managers who say they are the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman? Winning the prize is also important, but... you look like you’re being chased by something.

“Is that so.”

Among the skills obtained while climbing the Tower of Trials, the abilities that have been used so far have activated the unique power ‘Skill Synthesis’. Didn’t you learn it by doing this?

‘If you’re lucky, you can obtain a hidden card by combining the skills you bought at the store and the skills you obtained through necromancy.’

Skills purchased from stores and skills obtained through necromancy were transformed into dozens or hundreds of repetitive tasks using the unique power ‘Skill Synthesis’.

[The authority ‘Hero’s Protection’ is strongly activated.]

[Luck increases temporarily and violently.]

But....

[Skill synthesis is complete.]

[A new skill is created.]

[.... ]

It was ambiguous.

“....”

All of the skills created through the unique power ‘Skill Synthesis’ appear to be somewhat lacking even though the power ‘Hero’s Protection’ has been activated and the benefits of luck have been received.

‘To be honest, I thought I would get a skill that could be used occasionally, like the Seeker of the Fresh Blood, even if it wasn’t at the same level as the Gray Blood, but I guess it was a disaster.’

I clicked my tongue at that, but if you think about it, it was only natural.

The skills provided by the Tower of Trials achieved a hierarchy of divinity, and there was no sense of decline in value as it became possible to steal concept divinity through necromancy.

Moreover, after this one transformed into the concept of divinity itself and became an ancient god, it continued to gather the supernormal abilities of divinity.

‘Most of the skills don’t reach the level of a single divine ability, so they don’t seem worth using.’

To be honest, I thought that most of the power skills I acquired at the beginning of my climb up the Tower of Trials were abilities outside the category of skills.

“Was it just a waste of time?”

In fact, it was a situation where it was clear that we could not obtain anything better than the skills we had, so we put aside our lingering regrets and converted them all into a handful of divine power.

[....]

[The Seal of Offering (SS-) exclusive effect ‘Offering’ is activated.]

[A total of 47 skills have been offered from oneself.]

[The relevant abilities are replaced with divine power. It accumulates in the heart.]

It was no different if these were items obtained while climbing the Tower of Trials or items just purchased from the store.

‘In the past, it was a great help in climbing the Tower of Trials or fighting strong enemies, but now it is difficult to use.’

For example, there is the ‘black and white hourglass (S+)’, which served as a secret weapon when dealing with the god of battle in the past, but is now useless.

Isn’t the concept of divine alone a supernormal ability that can cause time interference in the entire space itself, slowing down or almost stopping time?

Now, the items of the past are nothing more than junk left in the inventory.

Therefore, I disposed of it immediately without hesitation.

[Skill ‘Steel Eating’ is activated.]

Enemy enemy -.

[....]

[Complete absorption.]

[Strength increases by 2.]

[Stamina increases by 3.]

[Durability increases by 2.]

[Magic power increases by 2.]

[Concept increases by 1 .]

‘...This is awesome.’

I didn’t use the skill ‘Steel Eating’ much at the point where all my abilities reached a level higher than I could have imagined, but after chewing and swallowing all kinds of items, I was able to achieve a notable achievement of my own.

‘This time, I absorbed the God of Creation through necromancy and all of my abilities went up significantly, so I didn’t think eating steel would be particularly helpful, but I got a bigger profit than I expected.’

I was satisfied and confident that I had finished disposing of most skills and items.

Since I had used up most of the points or SP I had collected while climbing the Tower of Trials, there was nothing more I could do in the waiting room.

And because I knew very well what that meant, I checked my armament without a moment of hesitation and was fully prepared.

[....]

[Exclusive authority #G-1047[Choice of Choice] is activated automatically when the conditions are met.]

[Exclusive authority #G-1047[Choice of Choice] uses challenger Han Seong-yoon’s ‘unique keyword’. Based on this, we present three options.]

[With the exclusive authority #G-1047 [Choice of Choice], you can confirm the ‘trial theme’ by choosing one of the three options.] It

was simple.

[Choose one of three options.]

Hold-.

[Selection completed.]

[The trial theme has been autonomously selected.]

[The trial theme has been confirmed as ‘Extreme Talent’ according to the unique keyword ‘Innate Talent’.]

It is none other than....

[Difficulty – Hard]

[The theme of the trial is ‘The Limits of Talent’.]

[I hope that the challenger will have a satisfactory result after the hardships he chooses.]

“Shall we begin?”

Tower of Trials.

A being close to the transcendental who exists solely to create the most perfect Godslayer in the universe.

Now it was time to go to the final level, which was located at the top of the Tower of Trials and could only be reached by the strongest challenger of all time.
