Chapter 485

485. Wall (3)

Field of choice.

There, there was one characteristic among the options based on the ‘unique keyword’ that could be selected each time a new trial began.

The point is that the Tower of Trials allows you to choose a trial theme that is perfect for you using the ‘unique keywords’ that are attached to the challenger based on the individual’s personality, life, and aptitude.

‘The War of the Gods was not only the result of selecting unique keywords in conjunction with the Field of Selection, but also the result of consuming the Remegeton, so it had to be skipped over...’

Moreover, this is the Tower of Trials in the War of the Gods. Haven’t you discovered the secret of selecting beings with the talent and qualifications who have the potential to become transcendents and gathering them as challengers?

‘Not anymore.’

At this point, I can’t ignore it.

There is a high possibility that the ‘unique keyword’ that the Tower of Trials attaches to each challenger is essentially related to ‘talent’ or ‘qualification’ that can reach the virtual state called a transcendent or ascendant.

Although it reflects the individual’s inclination, life, and aptitude, the unique keyword attached to this side by the Tower of Trials is probably an innate talent related to the soul itself.

‘Once you know where the Tower of Trials was created and what it exists for, you can no longer consider it a trivial matter.’

I thought that being able to confirm the ordeal theme by choosing one of the options according to the unique keyword as a place of choice was to increase the possibility of becoming a transcendent related to this to the limit.

‘I will take this opportunity to find out what talents and qualifications the Tower of Trials has judged me to have until I reach the final floor.’

What are the talents and qualifications suitable to become a transcendent?

What kind of talent and qualifications did the Tower of Trials have that they thought they had the potential to become a transcendent?

If you think about necromancy and sacred or sacred , you might come up with a surprisingly easy answer, but it doesn’t seem like they will be the perfect answer.

[Enter the 37th floor of the Tower of Trials.]

[Difficulty – Hard]

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

[I hope that there will be a satisfactory result after the asceticism chosen by the challenger.]

Perhaps the Tower of Trials Among the talents and qualifications that correspond to the essence of the soul that we have judged to have and classified under the name of unique keywords, we may be able to find a clue to go beyond the Gate of Ascension.

[The trial on the 37th floor begins.]

[Remaining time – one month]

[Conditions for passing the trial – Show your greatest talent in the selection test of the Gray Magic Tower and receive a seal of talent from the God of Honor]

[Conditions for failing the trial – Challenger death or end of remaining time]

[Trial Breakthrough Reward – Book of Talent and Honor (SS-)]

[Trial Failure Penalty – Death]

Of course, the Tower of Trials will also not want this side to become stronger anymore, so the reward is not that high of a level. It was supposed to be unobtainable.

Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!

However, even if the Tower of Trials gives you low-level trials to pursue strength, you may be able to gain something depending on what you do.

‘Is it starting slowly?’

Knowing this, I exercised patience and did not move hastily even though the scenery in my field of vision changed and hundreds of people appeared.

Jump and jump -.

After standing in a huge library that felt as big as a large city for a while, someone came out without having to wait long.

“...joy. It seems that almost everyone who will participate in the selection test for this Mage Tower has gathered. “There won’t be any problem if we start the screening test soon.”

It was a speech filled with self-confidence and the arrogance that comes from it.

Just as common wizards wore robes as if they had made an appointment, the black-haired young man wearing a monocle who walked out of the huge library was no different.

It should have felt a bit more like a librarian, but the black-haired young man who appeared in a purple robe gave the impression that he was a wizard no matter where he looked.

‘...I understand why the Tower of Trials made receiving something from the God of Honor a condition for clearing the trials.’

However, that black-haired man who looked like a mix of a librarian and a wizard was not a pure wizard.

“Well, for now, welcome to the Gray Magic Tower. Talented people. “It took a lot of hard work to get here.”

The black-haired young man wearing an old-fashioned monocle in front of me had not only mana energy, but also a small amount of divine energy accumulated in his heart.

“hmm. Let’s start by introducing ourselves. I am Tekal, a special level wizard of the Gray Magic Tower and an official apostle who serves the God of Honor. Nice to meet you.”

Well, it seems like he was chosen as an official apostle while serving a god of honor that I’ve never heard of before...

‘What a small thing.’

It’s meaningless.

Nowadays, it is hard for regular apostles to feel that they are strong enough to have reached the level of an ancient deity and have taken one step toward the gate of ascension.

Hundreds of people standing throughout the huge library each gave their own unique reactions as if they had different views.

“It’s incredible.... He is a special level 1 wizard of the Gray Magic Tower, one of the giant magic towers, and was chosen as an official apostle by the God of Honor. “There is no such thing as a big man.”

“Huh. This is truly amazing. Such an achievement at that age? It is said that the Gray Magic Tower is indeed a group of wizards and a temple that serves the God of Honor. “Do those who are favored by the gods become that strong?”

“That amount of magical energy is not at a level that an ordinary human can accumulate. This is probably the power he was able to accumulate because he was an official apostle chosen by the God of Honor. “The author passed the last screening test.”

To be honest, I kept hearing stories that made me wonder if I had heard them correctly.

A level 4 apostle who is not even a quasi-god is being showered with all kinds of praise, saying that he is a giant or that he is not at the level of a human being.

From this perspective, a sense of disparity arose because the person named Tekal was the weakest of the weak who would die without leaving a trace with just a single lift of a finger.

‘...no. Is it the opposite? In fact, for those who have not achieved the hierarchy of divinity, this may be the standard for the general strong.’

They’re not wrong.

It’s just that this side has become so strong that they have climbed the Tower of Trials, challenged ascension, and entered the path to becoming a transcendent, so the standard of judgment has changed greatly from the usual case.

I noticed this fact too late and remained silent, and as some time passed, Tekal smiled as if he was secretly enjoying the compliment and burned his lips again.

“okay. Talented people. You are right. “I passed the selection test for the Gray Magic Tower 40 years ago... At that time, I was able to overcome my limitations as a human and become this strong.”

I was puzzled.

Have you escaped your limitations as a human being?

In fact, the author was only assigned a small amount of divine power under the God of Honor.

It was not possible to handle divine abilities, and only the independent use of some powers or special powers was permitted.

‘How can you confidently say bullshit about overcoming human limitations when you haven’t become an ancient deity and transformed into the concept of divinity itself?’

It’s not just a slip of the tongue because you’re not familiar with the hierarchy of divinity, and even though you’re an official apostle serving the God of Honor, you can confidently claim something that isn’t true...

‘That’s amazing.’

It was once again insignificant.

Even though nothing had really started yet, my motivation was already fading and I felt like I wanted to move on to the next floor.

But didn’t they have any intention of continuing their bullshit to praise themselves for too long?

Just as I was about to stop thinking about the field of choice and unique keywords, fortunately, Tekal put on a serious expression and parted his lips.

“There’s nothing to be so nervous about. Talented people. Just as I did last time, this time it is your time to shine with your talents to the God of Honor.”

Tekal continued speaking seriously, gathering the energy of divinity and mana into his hands.

“You have the talent and qualifications to participate in the selection test of the Gray Magic Tower that serves the God of Honor... If you can prove your natural talent, brilliant honor will follow.”

In the blink of an eye, the energy of divinity and mana gathered in Tekal’s right hand was scattered into the air, and at the same time, a colorless wave rang out in the air, causing a strange event.

[ ...I, Tekal, a special level 1 wizard of the Gray Magic Tower, as an official apostle serving the God of Honor, declare the beginning of a selection test for talented people. ]

‘Innate talent’.

The Tower of Trials would say that the ‘unique keyword’ was identified by referring to the individual’s inclination, life, and aptitude.

From now on, it was time to find out about my own talent, which even the Tower of Trials labeled as ‘natural talent’.

***

‘This will be the next one.’

Being able to change the properties of the mana in the air on a particle-by-particle basis means that it is possible to create a force that deviates from the relationship through the method of reinforcing the overlap of properties like a sword in the surrounding space.

Kugu -gu -gu -gu -gu -gu -gu -gu ─── !!

As the mana energy began to swirl like a storm around the place where I was sitting cross-legged, I realized one thing.

‘Oh, did I use a wrong solution that the creator did not intend?’

...This wasn’t a proper method.

‘The Gray Magic Tower’s selection test was not designed to be solved this way from the beginning.’

From the beginning, the change in the properties of the particle unit applied to the mana in the atmosphere was not solved by self-reducing the change in properties by the participants of the screening test and improving the method of use.

That wasn’t even possible.

Should we say that the innate talent for mana itself is judged?

It was a structure that relied on pure mana affinity to forcibly collect a small amount of mana in the magic circuit for several weeks, and then operated the magic circuit to forcibly collect mana from the surroundings.

The fact that this side created its own method of using mana by recalculating the changes in the properties of each particle applied to mana in the air was, for example, the same as acquiring operator rights that are not permitted in the game.

In a game, users should never be able to obtain operator permissions, but they were forced to obtain operator permissions through hacking.

‘...hmm. Well, in the end, as long as you solve the problem one way or another, isn’t that the right answer? There’s no need to worry. maybe.’

Well, it was none of my business.

Tsutsutsu───!

Therefore, I changed the properties of the mana in the air at the particle level and began to refine the purest mana into primordial energy.

Paaaa-!

It was divine power.

For reference, it was found that even the divine power obtained by refining pure mana into primordial energy was completely different from the creator’s design intention.

This is because an unknown divine energy suddenly tried to be injected into the place where I was standing, and it fizzled and then disappeared, as if a program malfunction had occurred.

‘...Isn’t this at the level where there is no standard solution to the problem?’

It was roughly what I expected.

Perhaps, if things had gone as they were, the selection test for the Gray Magic Tower would have automatically injected the divine energy of the God of Honor into those who obtained the energy of pure mana.

And by accepting some of the divine energy possessed by the God of Honor, it is possible to create official apostles of much higher quality than ordinary priests.

‘I guess this is why the God of Honor is hosting a selection test at the Gray Magic Tower.’

Selecting those with natural talent and engraving the divine energy of the God of Honor into the purest mana energy.

Thus, the essence and significance of the selection test held at the Gray Magic Tower was to create powerful official apostles who would serve the God of Honor.

It is truly an efficient task of selecting exceptional people among those with natural talent and making them official apostles.

Kigigigigigigigeek───!!

But...

“....”

Is this because they did not accept the divine energy given by the God of Honor?

Suddenly, a green sphere of light composed of divine power descended from the ceiling of the huge library and attempted to engrave the divine energy into this person.

I thought that perhaps at the point when this divine energy was engraved on him, he would become an official apostle and a master-slave relationship would be forcibly established.

‘In the end, it was a selection test for the Gray Magic Tower and all, but it seems like it was effectively a slave contract.’

However, the participants of the screening test who did not know anything about it showed their shock as they flocked to where I was.

“What is this...!! Are you saying that I have already been chosen by the God of Glory?! “Not even an hour has passed!!”

“Nonsense. What is that? Are you saying that’s the amount of magical energy you just accumulated? “Is that a person?”

“Genius... No, it’s more than that... It’s not a talent granted to mere humans. “It’s a monster.”

and.

‘Is that what it was like?’

Realized.

‘This is what natural talent is.’

Even if I compared the three ancient deities, my natural talent was on a different level.

The Tower of Trials probably also noticed this fact long ago, so it gave ‘natural talent’ as one of its unique keywords.

Now the question is resolved.

‘The reason the Tower of Trials gave me the unique keyword ‘natural talent’ was purely because the level of natural talent was at a different level.’

With just one innate talent, he had the talent to become a transcendental person who could reach the level of ancient godhood.

“...Okay, with this, I’ve definitely figured out one thing.”

I nodded and stretched out my arms as if stretching.

Afterwards, he smiled brightly as he looked at the green sacred sphere still floating in the sky.

Unlike before, someone’s consciousness and gaze could be felt in that sphere of light made of green divine power.

Ugh!

[ ...you. What on earth is it? How can you reject my call? Such as mortals. ]

Perhaps there is a God of Honor beyond that green sphere of light made of divine power...

[ ...Go back. The Tower of Trials threw something strange at me. I won’t have you as mine anymore, so you’d better go back. If you don’t do that─. ]

It was laughable.

[The transcendental myth is activated.]

[From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon’s actions will be subject to the divine effect of .]

[You can deny all negative changes about you that are realized due to external interference. .]

[From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon will receive the divine effect of .]

[External phenomena can never imitate the power that has become yours without permission.]

“—Since when did I take orders from people like you? “Has this happened?”

Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!

In the blink of an eye, the transcendent myth is activated, and the power that reached the end of the ancient godhead returns.

[What...!! What on earth is this!? Nonsense!! Why is an ancient deity here...!! ]

Is that why?

“What did you say earlier?”

[ .... ]

“Go back? Otherwise, what?”

[ ...that- ]

“You have a knack for making people happy.”

Pisik-.

“I’ll give you just 10 seconds.”

Laughing came out automatically.

[The god of transcendence and death warns a similar higher god with murderous intent.]

[─You. Come out here right now.]

That’s also very pleasant.
