Boundless Necromancer

452. Muddy Water (4)

God of Time.

A cold sweat broke out on my back when I realized that an ancient god of the distant past, who existed before the Tower of Trials appeared, was standing right next to me.

I couldn’t understand why this side hadn’t noticed the presence of that monstrous ancient deity until just before it came next.

‘…how the hell did this happen?’

It was hard to understand.

‘…I didn’t let down my guard against the god of time.’

I couldn’t believe it even though I noticed that there was a god of time right next to where I was standing.

‘…There’s no way the god of time could notice that I’ve come here so quickly?’

From the beginning, I came here fully prepared to not be caught by the god of time.

It is a bar that captures the energy of divinity and mana and hides it tightly inside the body so that it cannot be detected by using skills and powers as well as techniques.

In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that there is no element anywhere that would allow the other side to notice that I had come to the southern front.

「The god of time looks at you and smiles.」

[Seed of Ascension. Why is there no answer? Did my words offend you? Or…]

But there was no time to ponder what the hell was wrong.

“The god of time looks at you and lets out a laugh as if it’s fun.

” Were you even startled by my sudden appearance in front of you? If that’s the case, I’m really sorry. If I have scared you, I will offer you a sincere apology. ]

When I didn’t get an answer, the god of time started making sarcastic remarks.

“well.”

I can’t even be silent any longer.

“What?”

Feed-.

“If I had to question it, I think it would be more accurate to say that I was annoyed rather than surprised.”

Contrary to my embarrassment inside, I responded calmly as if on the outside it wasn’t like that at all.

“That person suddenly pretended to be close to me, saying that he was the seed of ascension on his own when he first met, so I just kept silent because I was dumbfounded.”

And in the meantime, in my heart, I noticed that the other person had no intention of fighting right away, and cut the confusion like a knife at once.

‘Let’s stay calm.’

It didn’t do any good to express my surprise at not finding out that the god of time had even arrived.

Even if you compare it to the logic of common animal instincts, you can see that if you show weakness in front of a beast, you will only fall into prey.

I pretended nothing was wrong and quickly guessed in my head how the god of time could have noticed that we were here and sneaked in.

‘No matter how strong the god of time is, there’s no way he can come this far without being noticed by me.’

Surprisingly, the answer was closer than expected.

‘Perhaps the reason why the god of time was able to come right next to me without being noticed by me was not because of his strong body power, but rather because he used his divine supernormal ability or special authority.’

I also obtained various skills and powers while climbing the Tower of Trials, and obtained the ability to block presence that is common even to high-level strongmen.

“It’s fun.”

Then it wouldn’t be surprising if the other side had abilities similar to mine.

“Did you say that the purpose was not to fight for leadership between divine realms, but to coexist with leadership and seize leadership derived from it?”

I succeeded in regaining my composure and turned my head to look at the god of time standing right next to me.

“I can’t stop laughing thinking that such an expedient to penetrate the gap is the target you planned.”

Observed.

an old man-like appearance.

Like all the wizards he had seen while climbing the Tower of Trials, the god of time was dressed like a typical wizard holding a staff in an antique robe.

「The god of time expresses interest in your provocation and giggles.

」 You could think of it that way. Well, in the eyes of a seed of ascension like you, I must be nothing more than a piece of junk rolling on the street. What is the meaning of struggling in the face of such a brilliant possibility? you must be tough ]

The God of Time smiled as if he was annoyed and continued talking.

[Doesn’t it make sense to you to hear that I’m going to overlay the divine confrontation system with my divine realm? ]

The eyes reflected in his two pupils contain feelings such as jealousy.

[I guess so. For the Seed of Ascension, which devours everything, walls are something that must be broken down and overcome. However, unlike you, my age increases even if I live for a long time, and in the end, there is only despair that I cannot move forward, so I cannot fight noblely like a being like you. ]

Should I say that I look like I’m jealous of everything I have?

[So understand. ]

In the words of the god of time, an indescribable feeling of envy oozes out.

[ Seed of Ascension. Unlike you, I am an unsuccessful failure…. There is nothing I can do but struggle. ]

After hearing his words, my composure returned perfectly and I responded coldly.

“okay?”

At this point, the curiosity about the god of time even subsides.

“That sounds like a loser.”

Up until now, climbing the Tower of Trials and hearing all sorts of envious words made me feel annoyed.

“Actually, I was curious about what kind of existence the god of time would be…”

And I told him the story that came from the depths of my heart.

“This must have been a loser who didn’t even have to wonder.”

As if he didn’t like it, the God of Time narrowed his eyes and shut his mouth.

[ …. ]

Instead of speaking harshly, I continued talking as if I was annoyed.

“Moreover, the question I asked earlier was, for what reason did you see me and talk about me as the seed of ascension?

The god of time also responded to those words.

「The god of time looks at you coldly and replies.」

[ Seed of Ascension. You are the one who will transcend everything and ascend high into the sky. So that’s what I called it. ]

That was an irritating answer.

‘It’s hard to answer bluntly.’

I wasn’t sure why the god of time called me the ‘Seed of Ascension’, so in many ways nothing was clear.

‘I just wanted to find out how much you know about the Tower of Trials or about me, but isn’t it as easy as I thought.’

Currently, it is certain that he has attained enlightenment close to the prophecy, but it is difficult to say for sure where to start because the depth of the information he has found out separately is just cut.

‘If you know about the Tower of Trials at a fairly deep level, it’s highly likely that the reason why you’re hostile to me like that is not because you want to kill me or seal it.’

I was curious.

How far does the god of time know the ‘truth’ beyond that this world is fake, not real?

If you know that the War of the Gods is fake, not real, and that there is a transcendental structure called the ‘Tower of Trials’, then the plan to kill or seal me is close to a bad idea.

That’s why I tried to find out how far the other side knew, but it failed.

‘After coming this far, it’s not a surprise attack, but rather a conversation, so that means that they don’t really want to fight right now.’ Perhaps the god of time is also well aware of the value of the information he has, so he doesn’t seem

to want to increase information exposure…

It would be difficult if there was one.’

Then there is no need to talk anymore.

‘let’s fight.’

After thinking about it, I came up with the most reasonable judgment in the current situation and then pretended nothing was wrong and removed my lips.

“Seed of Ascension. I wonder if a loser like you really knows what that means. It feels that way all the more because there is no one answer in particular.”

Still, I didn’t show any sign of fighting, as if I was also thinking of talking to the god of time.

“Actually, aren’t you calling a subject that you don’t know about me too by giving it a random name?”

and.

“The god of time looks at you blankly and smiles.

” Well, you have the right to say that, so I won’t say anything. Let them talk as they please…]

Accordingly, the moment when the god of time spits out a series of words with an irritating laugh.

「Skill ‘Combat Acceleration’ is activated.」

「Skill ‘Focus on Combat’ is activated…」

「Skill ‘Instantaneous Acceleration’ activates…」

It started.

「I encountered a strong opponent that is difficult for me to handle as a user.」

「The skill ‘Indomitable Will’ is activated.」

The numerous powers she had gained while climbing the Tower of Trials so far surged through her entire body, putting her in the best fighting condition.

「…」

「The special spell activation conditions have been met.」

「The special spell < Despise the Powerful > is activated.」

「All stats and skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle. The God of Time

is not at the same level as the three ancient Godheads, but isn’t it a higher level of divinity than this one?

「The authority ‘Winter King’ is automatically activated when the conditions are met.」

「All stats are boosted by +10% and the user is not affected by cold at all.」

「The special power ‘Single Duel’ is strongly activated.. ..」

「In a 1:1 duel with an opponent, the user’s divinity consumption value is reduced by 15%

… 」

This becomes easier and all skill proficiency increases by 300%…”

Even among the paddles held in hand, most of the powers that would not be activated unless certain conditions were met were activated.

「Boss skill skill ‘Grace of Wind’ is activated.」

「All speeds increase by 180%.」 「

Current skill overlap progress – [18]」

Activating divinity, skill, and authority, he ran forward.

───!

very quickly too.

Kiyiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

In an instant, I moved at supersonic speed and poured out my strength in the direction where the god of time was standing.

The situation with the holy light, which is currently considered the best attack method available to me, and the mortal flame that does not go out.

And not only that, but a lot of divinity, skill myths, and powers such as authority were mixed, and it had destructive power close to the maximum output, so it could be called a special move.

‘Perfect.’

In fact, the timing of surprise attacks, as well as the perfection of various skills and skill combos, were also impeccable.

‘It’s the best blow.’

so i was sure

‘So…’

Nolimsu succeeds.

‘The other side must be fooled too.’

There was really nothing different.

「Divine < Save > is activated, and absolute defense is possible only for the first attack.

」

The god of time may not be one of the three ancient gods, but isn’t he a strong man with a high level of divinity and accumulated experience over a long period of time?

「The god of time is flustered by your surprise attack and at the same time vents her anger.」

[Ha! Seed of Ascension, did you think I would fall for such a low-level surprise attack? How stupid…

] That’s right, I have no choice but to catch up with the supersonic movement this side is showing with my body vision, and to defend it with my hidden hand no matter what level of special moves I show.

“no.”

obviously.

“Because it wasn’t an attack that I decided that you would hit.”

so you win

「The authority ‘Shunbo’ is activated.」

「A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes.」

「Consumes holy power to move to a desired point within sight.」

Landing-.

「The god of transcendence and death smiles.

」 ]

The first blow was just a fake.

“I am astounded by the unexpected number of the god of time.”

[…What is this!! ]

It was just a goal written to consume the unique ability of the evasion or defense system so that the god of time could not survive.

「Divinity < Death > is used.」

「The death of everything eroded by Divinity < Death > can be controlled.」 「Divinity < Evil Eating > is used…」

It possesses the power to devour…]

「Divinity < attachment > is dead…」

「Parasitic on objects touched by the divinity, absorbs life force and controls it…」

There is another special move.

「The divine power-only power, ‘Pure Seeker of Death’ is activated.」

「All beings touched by the Divine < Death > will gradually become contaminated with life, magic, and divinity.」 「

All beings touched by the Divine < Death > will lose their lives and It takes fixed damage to the essential element that is directly connected to it.」

「All beings touched by the divine < Death > can never avoid the damage caused by the seeker of pure death.」

Poof—!

The absolute death that existed only to annihilate the other party shone while dwelling in the Blood Heaven Demon Sword and the Breaking Sword.

[ ───! ]

The god of time hurriedly shouted something and seemed to be belatedly responding, but I knew that was also meaningless.

‘Whether the god of time paints the sacred battle system into the sacred realm and robs it, or if he intends to use a hidden hand, it’s the end if he takes the first attack and presses it.’

At that, I smiled inwardly in a world that had reached supersonic speed.

I couldn’t understand why the god of time had come this far without changing the divine confrontation system to the divine realm.

As soon as I saw that this side came to the southern front, I would not have been able to guarantee my life or death if I had prepared all kinds of preparations and went into battle fully prepared.

It was an easy victory somehow.

‘It’s over…’

But…

tsutsutsu───.

It was then.

‘uh?’

The world is dyed in darkness.

Should I say that everything in front of me looks like a black and white reversed photograph?

In the blink of an eye, I felt my whole body become heavy like lead and swallowed up in darkness.

‘This is nothing else…’

It’s not even that.

Hwa-ah—!

light.

In an instant, empty space split open, and a human figure made of light appeared from there.

And at the same time I realized that it was an ancient deity that I had seen once before, I felt a tremendous shock in my stomach and my vision trembled.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

“…”

Just like that, as soon as the shaking of my vision disappeared, I realized that I was stuck in the ground that had been hollowed out like a crater, and I spat out blood.

Tumble tumble-.

There is no need to figure out how this happened.

“The God of Time breaks into a cold sweat and lets out a sigh of relief.

” Didn’t I tell you that Seed of Ascension They say that the only thing that has increased in my long life is not my strength, but my poor struggles. I must be destined to lose to a strong man like you. I have insured myself for a situation like this. ]

And the moment I staggered out of the hollow pit while recovering the wounds on my body with gray blood.

‘ah.’

I was desperate.

[ …it was true. ]

A woman wearing a black robe uttered complex words while surrounded by overwhelming darkness.

[ …You are a child with powers and talents that have never been seen anywhere else. ]

the dark god.

「The god of darkness looks at you and smiles bitterly.

」 ]

Among the three ancient deities, the supreme leader of the universe with a high level of strength was in front of him.

[ …If this place is not real but fake, it means that even I am destined to disappear as soon as he gets what he wants. ]

Not even that.

[ I want to live. ]

Standing next to it was a group of human-shaped lights with the same brilliance as the light itself, something I had never seen before.

“The god of light looks at you and shows hostility.”

[I never want to die no matter what. ]

It’s nothing else…

[Even if this is just a fake world that’s not real, and even I’m just a fake imitating the real thing, I can’t die for just you.]

God of light.

Although not the three ancient deities, a strong man who can be compared to them created an atmosphere of life and death.

He uttered a divine voice filled with great determination and at the same time expressed his will to survive.

“…”

I looked at it and stayed blank for a while before bursting into laughter.

“ah.”

worst case scenario.

The number of cases in which the god of time informs the ‘truth’ and seeks cooperation from the three ancient deities or powerful people equivalent to them.

Until now, I had been careful, hoping that such a thing would not happen, but in the end, my ominous premonition was correct and hit.

“…It’s ruined.”

…fell into the swamp of death.
