Chapter 500

500. Revitalization (3)

[You have reached the deepest part of the ‘Maze of Sorting and Choice’ on the first floor of the dimensional hierarchy.]

[When you place items above a certain level on the altar of divinity, multiple higher-level gods will appear.]

[Next In order to go up to the next floor, you must be chosen by at least two of the higher deities that appear on the altar of divinity.]

‘This...’

For some reason, a smile forms on my face as I look at the system messages in my field of vision.

‘That’s awesome.’

Isn’t that right?

It is now possible to summon multiple higher-level gods just by placing items on the altar of divinity.

Since I didn’t encounter a single enemy on the way here, I thought it would be harder to find a practice partner for the Lord of the Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman than I thought... but

it wasn’t.

‘I thought the level of enemies prepared by the Tower of Trials in the dimensional hierarchy would be at most pseudo-gods, but no matter how strong they were, they would be at the level of full-on deities, but this was surprising.’

no.

Wouldn’t it be closer to the opposite?

This is because it is now possible to summon a faster and more powerful enemy than previously assumed.

‘Well, considering the power of the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman, I think a high-level god-level practice partner would be just the right level.’

Originally, this side was planning to find an enemy with official god status or equivalent power and match them as practice targets so that the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman could become stronger.

I thought it would be appropriate to teach the two administrators who were given the divine and the divine how to use the divine supernormal abilities.

Otherwise, it is unlikely that the Tower of Trials would have placed enemies with powers beyond that of quasi-gods or formal deities in the dimensional hierarchy.

Well, looking at the results, it was a clear misjudgment that there would be no enemies at the level of a high god, but it wasn’t a bad thing.

‘To be honest, even if there are several higher-level gods, I think that if the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman do their best, they will be at least equal.’

no.

If we really had to ask, should we say the opposite?

Perhaps, the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman had spent a long time as administrators, so their sense of battle had become quite rusty.

Taking that into account, both of them needed to experience fierce battles against strong opponents at least once, so facing off against multiple high-ranking gods was certain to be of great help in their growth.

‘Perhaps I can teach them both the basics of being a high-ranking god much faster than expected.’

And....

[I break into a cold sweat as I sense the ominous look of the Iron Blood Lord ‘Canary Rugfeld.’]

[What? no. What on earth is this... that it is possible to summon not one, but many higher godheads...? ]

[Baek Seol-hwa, the white crane swordsman, looks at you and expresses earnestness.]

[ Seongyun. I don’t think I’m feeling well today... Oh, can we stop here for today and go back to the waiting room? ]

“it’s okay.”

Before I knew it, the two managers also seemed to have the same thoughts as me and said that, showing tension and anxiety.

“I promise. Because I will never let anyone die. “Don’t worry, you can fight with peace of mind.”

[ .... ]

However, when this person once again assured that neither of them would die, they both closed their mouths and remained silent, just like before.

“ah. I will be the one to summon the higher gods to the Altar of Divinity. Until then, it would be best to prepare your mind.”

After seeing that, I said this to the two managers and then walked towards the place where the sacred altar was set up.

Jump and jump.

The Divine Altar was located in the center of a huge stone chamber, and it did not look ordinary even from the outside.

‘Considering that the Giant Tree Labyrinth was also designed to enable one to obtain God’s grace, is this also one of the parts connected to the Giant Tree Labyrinth?’

The altar of divinity was glowing with various colors, with divine power presumed to belong to a higher deity intertwined like a ball of thread.

Perhaps, when items are placed on top of this place, some sort of signal goes to the higher deities connected to the Divine Altar, and through that, the higher deities appear...

Suddenly, looking at it, I realized one thing.

‘Is that why?’

I belatedly understood what purpose the Tower of Trials had in creating the dimensional layer.

‘There were no living enemies anywhere in the dimensional hierarchy, and only hidden items could be farmed.’

It wasn’t something that was particularly difficult to understand.

‘Was it because the first layer of the dimensional hierarchy itself was a preparation process for offering tribute to the higher gods?’

The Tower of Trials was designed as the first layer of the dimensional hierarchy as a place to obtain items to place on this ‘Altar of Divinity’.

If you think about it, there may be pros and cons depending on what you offer on the altar of divinity.

[ ...!! ]

Did the three higher deities who appeared on the altar of divinity also reveal their divinity and soul status, so did they feel fear, albeit belatedly?

Swish-!

Next moment.

The three higher-ranking gods all simultaneously became frightened and took a step back, without any regard for who was first.

And very quickly.

Even the wall of the stone room where the sacred altar was placed retreated as if frightened, and his body trembled like a frightened small animal.

It almost makes me wonder if the three higher-ranking gods were lying when they told me that they would definitely kill me, expressing their murderous intent and hostility.

When I saw that, I smiled and opened my mouth again.

“What are you doing? Didn’t you guys just a moment ago say you were going to kill me or something? “That’s strange.”

[ .... ]

“try. You guys said you were confident, right? I don’t understand why he suddenly keeps his mouth shut now. do not do that.”

[ .... ]

“It’s not fun.”

The moment I walked out to the front with a grin on my face and tried to have a good chat with the three higher-ranking gods.

[The god of redemption appears at the altar of divinity.]

[The god of refining appears at the altar of divinity....]

[The god behind it appears at the altar of divinity....]

[....]

A bit belated. Although it is hard to feel, the rest of the higher-ranking gods have fully manifested themselves on the altar of divinity.

[The God of Redemption roars, his eyes shining with murderous intent.]

[Where are you!! this! You bastard!! I’ll tear your limbs off! ]

[The God of Refining clenches his teeth and radiates malice in all directions.]

[ Bastard. How dare you offer such a poor offering to the god of smelting. You should be able to explain why you pulled a prank like this. ]

[The god behind the scenes is delighted at the thought of tearing to death the beings who offered tribute to him.]

[Kyahahaha!! Yes, sometimes things like this have to happen!! Where is the guy who gave me these trashy tributes? I will play with it slowly for a long time so that it does not die...]

Just like the higher-ranking gods that appeared on the altar of divinity earlier, it appeared with a declaration that it would tear this place to death.

[ .... ]

step.

There was one difference.

Unlike the three higher-ranking gods who had previously appeared on the altar of divinity, the higher-ranking gods who had just finished manifesting belatedly were able to grasp the situation quickly.

[The god behind the scenes smiles awkwardly and walks away as if nothing happened.]

[Kya...haha... I think I’m in the wrong place... Can I go? ]

[The god of smelting is sweating like crazy and rolling his eyes back and forth.]

[Hehehe... I wonder why someone offered up such precious divine objects as an offering. I guess I took the wrong route too. ]

[The God of Redemption laughs empty-handedly and naturally tries to leave the place.]

[Hahaha. Excuse me. I guess I came to the wrong place too. The women in the back seem to be apostles of a great being... I hope you have a good time. Well then, I’ll just go- ]

Dan.

“Where are you going?”

[ .... ]

“Enough of the nonsense and all of you, come in front of me.”

[ that. I think there is a misunderstanding. We seem to have taken the wrong path—]

When I saw that, I smiled lightly and gathered together the high-ranking gods who were trying to quietly leave.

“no. Is it true that I called you guys? “It would be better to come here and not think about anything else.”

[ .... ]

“I have no intention of killing anyone yet...”

[ .... ]

“If even one of you runs away, I will change my mind from then on.”

That means only one thing.

[I feel satisfied seeing the sandbags of the gods of transcendence and death gathered together in harmony.]

[─Understand?]

From now on, these higher-ranking gods are literally perfect test subjects who cannot escape anywhere.
