Chapter 287
287. Evil God (1)
As soon as I used Deification, I briefly suppressed the Divinity.
‘Even though I’ve activated Apotheosis for now, it wouldn’t be good if it leaked to the outside.’
It was worth it.
Currently, this place has become a realm of gods because the advent of the Apostles is not enough.
So, if you don’t hide the case that happened with the apotheosis and reveal it, this side will be discovered.
I didn’t want to give out the location until at least I had some idea of the situation.
And more than anything else, he didn’t want to reveal his apotheosis to the iron-blooded lord or Canary.
If you see this, you will have to explain the apotheosis to Canary.
I didn’t want that to happen just yet.
‘I can’t help it because the iron-blooded lord can’t accept the power of the battle yet.’
A situation in which each other has just now shown feelings beyond trust.
However, if the power of apotheosis is revealed without adding or subtracting, the sense of distance will widen.
That too is out of control.
That was the level of achievement obtained through deification.
That’s why I entered the divine realm with the divinity temporarily condensed inside.
「I have entered the sacred realm < The Demon's Ball >.」
As soon as I touched the pillar of black light, the sight I saw changed.
In the blink of an eye, the snowfield disappeared and a cracked dry land appeared.
Even the land is not the only thing that has changed.
It’s nothing else…
‘magic.’
Before I knew it, demons were blowing like wind everywhere.
And that’s to a level that can’t be easily passed.
Even if they were challengers, those below a certain level or without special equipment would not be allowed to even breathe.
Actually…
“That’s nasty.”
The canary also calmed her eyes, as if displeased.
However, she was unaffected by the heavily polluted air.
It was worth it.
‘At least the iron-blooded lord would become a sword master.’
Beyond the realm of a sword master, the environment is virtually meaningless.
Dealing with sword steel means that even legal concepts can be interfered with.
Even if there was a difference in skill level, there was no way that they would become addicted to the demonic magic in that they could use their magic power to the limit.
‘There’s no need to worry about the iron-blooded lord.’
After reminding her of her skills, my worries disappeared.
Perhaps within this divine realm are the followers of evil spirits.
If that were the case, there wouldn’t be many people who could defeat Canary except for those who had descended as apostles.
At least the rear could be left behind.
[That’s…]
It was then.
[What the hell is that? ]
Suddenly, the black dragon frowned in amazement and looked into the sky.
And accordingly, I expanded my senses and raised my gaze upward.
The moment he saw the sky of the divine realm < Demon's Ball >.
I could understand why the black dragon frowned.
Tsuzuzu-.
It was worth it.
Before I knew it, something like a black orb had settled in the sky.
Even the black sphere didn’t exist there meaninglessly.
Gray, ghostly monsters were falling from the black spheres that settled in the sky.
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
The image of him crashing to the ground with a scream as if scratching a blackboard.
And the evil spirits that crashed indiscriminately broke all over the land.
Now I could see without looking any further.
It’s nothing else…
‘Is that the effect of this divine realm?’
The effect of the divine realm < Demon Ball > was that black sphere.
In fact, there weren’t that many debuff effects in the divine realm < Demon's Ball >.
Among the realm-type effects that I have experienced so far, the reason for not applying a direct combat debuff was simple.
‘Are you saying you’d rather bomb than pour debuffs on enemies with the sacred realm < Demon's Ball >?’
The nature of the territorial effect itself is different.
Perhaps this divine realm < The Demon's Ball > doesn’t give me a direct debuff.
Just like Karnar Sagsis or the god of battle…
The divine realm < Demon's Ball > is optimized for the caster’s assistance.
So the debuff effect was nothing to worry about.
It’s just that destructive demons rain endlessly from the black sphere, and the life-killing demonic wind roams like air.
Then there is less to worry about.
‘It’s meaningless, at least to me.’
However, dragons, the apostles of the ancient gods, are different.
[Turn it off…]
For some reason, despite having holy power, the black dragon let out a pain-filled sound in the magi.
Could it be that because of the effect of the divine realm, demonic energy has a great effect on the dragon?
It wasn’t clear yet, but at least I could tell that the battlefield was unfavorable to the dragon.
If that’s the case, other dragons in the divine realm also don’t have much magic resistance… If
it drags on for a long time, the dragons could really die.
‘I need to add strength to where the dragons are as quickly as possible.’
The moment you immediately think about it and expand your senses to explore dragons.
Aaaaaaaang-!
[ …Kuh!? ]
Suddenly, black thunder was shot from below and the black dragon was hit.
[ …Did you get caught entering the sacred realm? ]
As it was, the black dragon lost its strength and stumbled, and then I looked down and narrowed my eyes.
‘…Is the time to think about it over?’
It was worth it.
“Dragon…!! A filthy and foolish being who tries to go against the will of God! Why are you flying through the sky!”
Because at some point, countless people gathered on the dry, cracked land.
Even if you roughly count the number, dozens of people easily pass by.
What’s even bothersome is that they’re all different from the ones I’ve seen so far.
Each of the followers in black uniforms had the skills of a preliminary apostle.
“AA AA AA…! Oh God! please look! Seeing us beating those who taint God’s will…!”
Is this fanaticism in the true sense?
Even after seeing the black dragon, the followers who worshiped the evil spirit did not appear to be frightened.
And seeing that, Canary hardened her expression and took out her sword.
“…I can’t help it. Sungyoon Han. The situation is not so good, so I will take over this place now.”
It seemed as if he would remain here and fight to the death.
“You… go where you need to go. At least I’ll try not to die.”
To be honest, I felt proud of Canary’s appearance, but…
“No.”
I had no intention of risking the canary here.
Her powers should be used for more important purposes.
At best, to send the sword master’s level of power to the prospective apostles?
Wouldn’t that be a stupid waste of power?
“You may stay as is.”
If it was not official, but the believers who were preliminary apostles, they could slaughter them as much as they wanted.
“They can’t be my enemies anyway.”
Even…
「Divine < Spirit > is used.」
「Sacred power can be consumed to influence the real world with words.」
「However, a very large amount of divine power is consumed by the commanding spirit that interferes with the laws of the world. 」
«Everyone splits in half and dies. 》
That’s even more neat.
***
Kwajijijijik-!
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s victory against Divinity brought her 0.017% closer to the 2nd Ascension.」 「
As a special reward for < Divine Ascension >, you will acquire the exclusive effect ‘Genocide (D-)’.」 「From
now on, Challenger Han Seong-yoon will When you defeat enemies in large numbers, you get a temporary stat buff.”
In the blink of an eye, the bodies of dozens of people standing on the ground quickly split apart.
They don’t even die in order.
As if all the believers had been sentenced to death at once, their bodies were split apart.
For each of them to have reached the level of preliminary apostles, they were so weak that it was absurd.
But it had to be.
Because…
「Use Divine < Death >」
「You can control the death of everything eroded by Divine < Death >
」 .’
It was because he used deification to bring out the maximum power as a god.
Therefore, even a pre-apostle would die helplessly like that.
But…
“What the hell is this…”
What he had been trying to hide from Canary until now was revealed.
“Is that you…? What is this? Uh, how can you get this kind of power…!”
Maybe it’s because I’ve never shown the instant kill skill, even though I’ve shown the divinity < Emperor >?
Canary’s eyes were stained with thick confusion.
Even a sword master used unimaginable power, so it was worth reacting like this.
Since the power of the godhead was revealed, there was no point in hiding it any longer.
Then, I spoke without adding or subtracting the status I had acquired through deification.
[Because it’s hard to say properly yet. ]
And.
[I’ll explain it after the battle is over. ]
When I said it as if I was in trouble at the moment, Canary replied as if it couldn’t be helped.
“If so, I’ll listen to it later…”
But is it because of her great trust?
“…Uh anyway, I decided to give you all my trust.”
Canary said so shyly.
[I’m glad you understand. ]
At that, I smiled at her and sang joy in my heart.
At least this saved me the need to explain something to the canary for now.
So, now I didn’t have to stop the apotheosis from overflowing to the outside.
He would be like that too…
‘Now I really don’t have anything to hide my power.’
One of the reasons for hiding the status gained through deification was the covert movement, which is now over.
Did those who serve the evil spirits do something before they die?
Numerous people felt it with the senses expanded by magical powers.
‘I can feel it.’
And too many to count.
‘Even if the number of preliminary apostles alone is at least 400 or more…’
Perhaps, even if the divine < Death > is combined with the divine < Death >, the consumption of divine power is not small.
It was worth it if you had to deal with hundreds of enemies at the level of the reserve apostle.
But…
[I don’t care so much about the power of numbers anymore. ]
Even so, there is still one God’s number to save divine power.
It is also a means optimized for one-on-one fights.
It’s nothing else…
「The divine power-only power list is activated.」
「You can designate up to 100 people out of all beings within 1000m.
」 It will be greatly weakened.」
「Anyone who continues to fight for over 44 minutes while being listed in the Shinigami list will be eroded by divine < death >.」
Deity-only authority.
The unique powers obtained from awakening as a Shinigami…
and the ability to forcibly inflict death on countless enemies was invoked.
Chow-!
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
I smiled as I watched the black book automatically turn the pages and write names.
When I was younger, I couldn’t understand using auto-hunting in games to kill enemies….
Is this how those who enable auto-hunting in games feel?
A satisfied smile formed on his lips before he knew it.
‘The percentage of the spirits and ascension will be automatically replicated.’
From now on, boring slaughter is skipped with automatic hunting.
