Boundless Necromancer

424. War of the Gods (1)

It was not speculation, but certainty.

‘For the Tower of Trials, the divine < Creation >, the divine < Law >, and the divine < Miracle > are elements that are no different from the basis of power.’

At first, I thought that the possibility of coincidence or illusion could not be ruled out, so I did not hastily conclude that something was correct, but not anymore.

‘The three ancient deities, the God of Creation, the God of Law, and the God of Miracles, must be related to the Tower of Trials in some way.’

The tower of trials and the beings called the three ancient deities must be closely related in some way.

‘And then…’

I calmly gazed at a building placed in the divine realm < Model Garden > with calm eyes.

‘It would be even more so if you saw what the God of Creation, one of the three ancient deities, had created in the divine realm.’

A majestic gray pillar towering high into the sky, resembling a clumsy imitation of the Tower of Trials.

“What is the relationship between the Tower of Trials and the beings called the three ancient gods…”

So-.

“You should not hide what you know about that part, and you should answer everything without leaving out.”

[ …. ]

There was not even room for disagreement.

Of course, the question asked by this side is a story that the other side cannot answer lightly, so it may come out uncooperatively… Anyway, if you

can find out various secrets about the Tower of Trials from the God of Creation, it will be somewhat coercive. could have resorted to means.

‘It’s a chance to find out the most important information about the Tower of Trials.’

Kwaaaak-.

‘If I can hear the other person’s answer in some way, I’ll have to use a method of forcibly tapping and pressing depending on the situation.’

There was nothing I couldn’t do.

Of course, as befits the three ancient deities, the God of Creation must have great power, but even taking that into account, it is not impossible if he has accumulated strength while climbing the Tower of Trials.

If you poured out all the supernatural powers and skills of the divine at once, you would be able to press down with overwhelming power for a while.

‘Wouldn’t the chances of winning be high enough?’

Currently, most abilities such as divinity, authority, or skills that this side has are out of cooldown.

‘A surprise attack would be possible.’

Heart rate rises gradually.

“…”

But there was no shaking.

It’s just that they are ready to launch a surprise attack at any time so that they can unleash their full strength and take down the god of creation.

Depending on the answer, one of the reasons for the nervousness was that having to forcibly dig up the desired information immediately after the surprise attack… In fact, the

nervousness was based on expectations.

‘…either way, it won’t change the fact that we can learn a lot from this story.’

From now on, I will know in some way how the Tower of Trials and the beings called the three ancient gods are intertwined.

‘…If I can find out where the Tower of Trials came from and where it is based, I can accomplish more.’

But…

“The god of creation frowns and mumbles as if he doesn’t understand.”

[ …Tower of Trials? ]

Why?

[ …what the heck is that? ]

The God of Creation replied in a tone full of embarrassment as if he didn’t know at all.

[ …First of all, I think I can answer somehow if I know what the ‘Tower of Trials’ means. ]

Just like the God of Proof that I encountered when I first entered the trial stage on the 36th floor, I didn’t know anything about the Tower of Trials.

“…”

There was really nothing different.

「The skill ‘Fire Dragon’s Eye’ detects that there is no lie in the opponent’s words.」

Strange.

The Tower of Trials and the beings called the three ancient deities must be deeply related to each other.

Even more so, in the divine realm < Model Garden >, there are even gray pillars resembling the Tower of Trials, but it doesn’t make sense to know nothing about them.

However, he had no choice but to back down after confirming that it was not a lie that the God of Creation did not know about the Tower of Trials.

‘…let’s not be impatient.’

At that, I narrowed my eyes and regained my composure.

‘I have to be cool.’

To be honest, I wanted to make this side spit out the answer at least by pouring out all the power it had.

‘There is absolutely no benefit to be gained by fighting the other side prematurely.’

Because that’s the easiest solution.

But that doesn’t change anything.

In fact, unless the god of creation knew nothing about the Tower of Trials, it would be impossible to get the answer they were looking for.

‘Even if we attack the God of Creation by surprise and win, the chances of getting information about the Tower of Trials are slim.’

There was not even a hint of doubt.

It is true that the current God of Creation does not know anything about the Tower of Trials, and has finished confirming by using skills.

Considering that this side’s skill was greatly enhanced by the transcendence myth < Spirit Tuning >, it couldn’t be fake.

Then it was also clear what to do.

‘In the end, I have no choice but to take the time to figure out what kind of relationship the three ancient gods have with the Tower of Trials…’

It was simple.

Observing and finding out by what kind of cause and effect the three ancient deities and the Tower of Trials are connected until the ordeal is cleared.

That was the surest way to get answers to the numerous questions accumulated while climbing the Tower of Trials.

“…”

Of course, it was a pity.

However, if you try to hastily dig up information about the Tower of Trials from the God of Creation here, everything may go to waste.

If you ask the God of Creation for information about the Tower of Trials, you can only instill a sense of incongruity.

I didn’t want that to happen.

‘Actually, at least I want to learn more about the gray pillar in the divine realm…’ It’s

the same reason why we can’t ask the identity of the gray pillar that looks like it’s modeled after the Tower of Trials in the divine realm < Model Garden >. was

‘Then, if the other side finds out that there is some connection between the Tower of Trials and the Gray Pillar, it could lead to an irreversible situation.’

At the point of mentioning the connection between the Tower of Trials and the three ancient deities, the God of Creation must also be very interested in this.

If that’s the case, if you ask about the Ashen Pillar right after talking about the Tower of Trials, you will inevitably notice that the Tower of Trials has something to do with the Ashen Pillar.

In that case, it is better not to reveal what this side wants to know.

‘Right now, the most important thing is not to make my actions look suspicious.’

There was a need to hide the inner meaning.

“If you don’t know anything about the real Tower of Trials, there’s no need to try to answer like that.”

To him, I pretended to be nothing and parted my lips to speak calmly.

“You don’t know anything about the Tower of Trials, so there’s no way you’ll get a definite answer if you ask any more questions, right?”

Instead, I continued talking to the Creator as if I should be sure to hear other stories.

“But from now on, unlike the question about the Tower of Trials, you will have to answer honestly without leaving out anything you know.”

Hearing that, the God of Creation stayed still and then answered while touching his lips as if he was having fun.

[ …okay? what good If you wish, let’s skip the story of the ‘Tower of Trials’. Let’s start with another story. ]

Perhaps this is because I asked what kind of relationship the three ancient deities and the Tower of Trials were, so I was interested…

“Let’s do it.”

And that is only for a moment.

“I’ll start with a simple question this time.”

As soon as I said the next question with a smile on my face, the other person’s expression almost hardened halfway.

“War of the Gods. I want to hear about its primal purpose. Without missing a single thing.”

[ …what? ]

“In the three categories that you know, I decided to answer honestly any question you ask, so don’t think about evasive words.”

[ …. ]

“So what’s the answer?”

[ …I’ll answer you. ]

The god of creation frowned and replied as if he was not pleased.

[…the original purpose of the war of the gods itself is not even worth asking, taking the opportunity to ask questions only three times. ]

She let out a deep sigh, then spoke again.

[The war of the gods only started for me, the god of law, and the god of miracles to be reborn as the rulers of the universe. ]

“Ruler of the universe?”

[ okay. That’s it. We, the three ancient deities, only wanted to be reborn as rulers of this universe. It’s a story no less than that. ]

“It’s not a story that is particularly understandable or convincing.”

I said it as if I was dumbfounded.

“In fact, if it is an ancient deity called the head of the universe, can it not be called the ruler of the universe?”

It was worth it.

Originally, at the point where the concept of divinity was engraved into the universe and even obtained immortality, these ancient deities are beings that can be said to be the rulers of the universe.

Couldn’t he have done something grandiose like the war of the gods just to be reborn as the ruler of the universe as the other side said?

“The fact that he transformed himself into divinity itself and gained conceptual immortality means that he has been reborn as one of the chiefs of the universe.”

[ …well. It’s just an appearance reflected on those who are high-ranking deities or formal deities. There is no such thing as speed. ]

“?”

[Among the ancient deities called the rulers of this universe, don’t you know that the rest, excluding the God of Darkness, the Demon God, and the Dragon God, are more of a superficial ruler with no real authority? ]

“….”

One, and that for a while.

[Supreme of the universe? It’s just a position of authority for those like higher deities or full deities. In fact, not all ancient deities are in the same position. ]

“….”

[Honestly, isn’t it? Didn’t like that. That’s how the war of the gods started. It’s just a story, nothing more, nothing less. ]

“I see.”

Listening to what the God of Creation said while sighing, I was able to guess that this was not the case.

‘Is it real power…’

In reality, as long as there are overwhelmingly strong people like the God of Darkness, the Demon God, or the Dragon God, it was understood that those like the three ancient gods could not be said to be the rulers of the universe.

‘I might feel that way.’

Yes, in this universe, even though the ancient deity itself is a lofty level that is revered as the head of the universe, there is no superiority or inferiority among them.

‘No matter what, it’s not wrong.’

But…

‘But somehow it’s kind of annoying.’

However, even so, it was an answer that could not erase the feeling that what the God of Creation said was somehow only for superficial reasons.

‘Am I the ruler of the universe?’

Would you say that the feeling of going somewhere is strong?

“…”

But that was all.

As before, I tried to determine whether the opponent’s words were real or fake by using the skill ‘Hwaryong’, but nothing changed.

Without a single lie, the God of Creation was in a position where he could no longer question anything because he only spoke the truth.

「The god of creation looks at you and smiles.

」 ]

Hearing those words, I nodded my head, feeling somehow intrusive.

“…Well, it’s something I can relate to to a certain extent, so it’s ambiguous to say that it’s all a lie.”

However, since I know that the other side has never told a lie, I have no choice but to move on after solving only moderately curious things.

“Now, out of the three opportunities to get an answer from you, are there only two left?”

As it was, I handed over the rest of the questions in a voice full of regret.

“Shall we finish it soon?”

and.

“Didn’t you say that when you contributed to victory in the War of the Gods, you would make something according to your contribution?”

[ …okay. Those who have accumulated a lot of contributions to victory in the war of the gods can get something just as valuable. whatever it is I’ll bet that for sure. ]

next moment.

“If you tell me how the rewards are given based on your contribution when you win the War of the Gods and the range of options for that victory reward, I’ll end the question here.”

[ …hmm. Aside from how rewards are given when you win, what does it mean specifically to ask for a range of options for victory rewards? ]

“For example, even if you ask me to make a holy relic that you have never seen before, if the level of contribution to victory is high, you can make it?”

[ …it will be possible. maybe. Even if it’s a relic or artifact that I don’t know about, like you said, it’s not difficult to make one if you want it.]

“… Ha.”

I was thrilled.

“You mean that?”

It’s not different-.

“That is really good news.”

It was like a miracle that he could get another ‘Sacred Replica Book (EX)’ that would allow him to acquire any divinity.
