Boundless Necromancer

494. Stopover (2)

I was nervous.

The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman.

I was asked who I would choose if I had to choose between the two.

This was because I had a vague guess as to what the intention behind the question was.

‘······I don’t know why they’re doing this, but it seems clear that they both feel a sense of competition with each other.’

If I had to be honest, should I say that this question is like asking a child whether he likes his mom or his dad?

‘······If I answer wrongly here, one of us will definitely get angry at me.’

In the end, even if you choose which of the two you prefer and come up with an answer, all that awaits you at the end is discomfort.

“······.”

As he climbed the Tower of Trials, the data accumulated in his brain also increased, and thanks to this, his instantaneous judgment reached a level that was completely different from that of an ordinary person.

‘What is the best answer?’

In the blink of an eye, the flow of time in the real world and the world of consciousness became disconnected, and the speed of thinking accelerated uncontrollably.

Tsutsutsu······.

A few seconds in the real world was like a few minutes in the conscious world, and I thought about it again and again.

Is it because he developed sharp judgment to overcome crisis situations in a fierce battle where life and death are at stake?

Surprisingly, I was able to find an answer that could satisfy the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman faster than expected.

As the saying goes, it is dark under a lamp, so the answer was nearby.

‘······Isn’t this actually a problem that we don’t need to worry about for a long time?’

In response, I gently closed my eyes for a moment, opened them again a few seconds later, and then slowly parted my lips.

“······Did you ask me who I would choose if I had to choose between the two of you?”

“okay. Me and that woman. If you had to choose between the two, who would it be? “That’s what I’m asking.”

“Whoa whoa.” ······As a teacher and companion, I, too, need to hear an answer to this story from Seongyoon. Please answer me.”

As it was, I made eye contact with the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman in turns and continued the story in a serious tone.

“What a coincidence.”

“?”

“Actually, I was going to come here and talk about something similar. “I just needed someone to be with me.”

“······.”

“I’ll give you the answer.”

In order to improve thinking ability, by maximizing brain function and accelerating the world of consciousness, there was only one answer.

“The Lord of Iron Blood.”

“······Phew. That’s right. “I’m listening.”

“Baekhakgeomseon.”

“······Ugh! I’m listening too! Seongyun.”

It’s no different─.

“I wouldn’t choose one of them, I would choose both.”

“······.”

······It was a prevarication.

***

The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman.

When asked which of the two you would choose, was it a handshake that gave the answer that you would choose both?

There was no need to say who came first between the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman, both of whom had cold expressions on their faces at the same time.

‘…Well, if you were thinking of one of two answers to the question, it would be natural to react that way.’

A question often asked by children, ‘Who is better, Mom or Dad?’ is answered with ‘Both are good!’ Because… was like giving an answer that was just plain boring.

‘I didn’t think those two would understand something like this anyway.’

Of course, I have no intention of ending this in a nonsensical way.

“······aha. Right? Is that really an innovative answer? That’s amazing. Seongyoon Han. Is that the answer you give? “You really have a lot of guts.”

The Iron Blood Lord clicked his tongue with a slightly disdainful look in his eyes.

“······Haaa. I’m disappointed. Aren’t Seongyoon and I close friends? Isn’t there a lack of trust? And you don’t even know why you’re choosing one of the two, but you’re saying you’ll definitely choose both? I’m indecisive. really.”

Baekhakgeomseon also looked at this direction with two lifeless eyes, as if it was not appropriate, and showed a coldness.

“no. I know what makes me choose one or the other. “Exactly.”

“?”

But even for a moment.

“The Lord of Iron Blood. And Baekhakgeomseon. They are both precious people to me. “But apart from that, isn’t he a quasi-divine administrator subordinate to the Tower of Trials?”

“······.”

As this person continued to speak seriously without wavering, both of them stopped giving cool looks with strange expressions.

“Tower of Trials. The reason I remain as the manager is also to make my dream come true. Changes in history. “Isn’t that the ultimate goal you two pursue?”

“….”

It’s not even just that.

As the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Sword mentioned the fundamental reason why they were working as administrators at the Tower of Trials, both of them had cold eyes filled with doubt.

A look as if asking why we are talking about that here.

After seeing that, I was convinced that the story was going according to plan, and I continued speaking in a calm tone.

Unlike before, neither of them expressed their dissatisfaction with what they were saying.

‘I knew it.’

It’s a classic tactic of suddenly changing the topic of conversation at an unexpected time and making people forget the previous conversation, but it worked better than expected.

‘Even if it wasn’t that in the first place, it was a story that had to be shared properly someday, so you could say it kills two birds with one stone.’

Even so, it was necessary to talk about this with the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman at least once, so it was not a nonsense just to avoid responsibility.

“One day, the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman may pay the price for being subordinate to the Tower of Trials.”

“….”

The Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman did not answer that they were wrong.

From the moment the Tower of Trials is cleared to the final floor and loses its power as a transcendent structure, what will happen to the ‘Administrator’ is unknown.

That is because the beings called managers who are subordinate to the Tower of Trials are nothing more than those who were resurrected by receiving power from the Tower of Trials as quasi-gods.

Because of that, those two could have disappeared after a long time without being with me.

“You both know now. I am climbing the Tower of Trials to become a transcendent. And that it is not impossible to achieve.”

However, that is only a story that can be established when those two are subordinate to the Tower of Trials until the end.

“At that time, I will also have the same level of power as the Tower of Trials. “Maybe it’s more than that.”

A solution definitely existed.

[Administrator ‘Steelblood Lord’ agrees with you.]

“…Okay. Know. I watched from close as you climbed the Tower of Trials. “You can’t not know.”

The Iron Blood Lord touched his chin and agreed, while Baekhakgeomseon also nodded and expressed that he had no disagreement.

[Administrator ‘Baekhakgeomseon (白鶴劍仙)’ is confident that what you say is the truth without any lies.]

“…Hmm. It’s hard to believe that he can overcome that tower of trials, but I also think that Seongyoon is someone who can become a transcendent person. “I think it is possible and the probability of it happening is not low.”

Neither of them expressed a negative opinion when told that this side might not only gain power equivalent to the Tower of Trials but could also become a transcendent.

“great. “So, since we both agree that I have the potential to become a transcendent… I’ll get to the point.”

“?”

If the problem is that you are subordinated to a quasi-divine status with the title of manager by the Tower of Trials, wouldn’t it be okay to change your affiliation?

“It’s not a particularly difficult story.”

And….

“The Lord of Iron Blood.” And Baekhakgeomseon. Both are precious relationships to me. “As time passes, I hope that you two will be by my side even at the moment when you succeed in ascending to heaven and become transcendent.”

Therefore, under the assumption that this side would succeed in ascending to heaven and become a transcendent in the future, a new path was presented to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman.

“So…”

Anyway, doesn’t this side already have the most perfect means to get the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman out of the Tower of Trials?

“It means that I hope you will become my apostle and continue to be with me in the future.”

That too is very certain.

***

The answer to how to get the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman out of the Tower of Trials was decided.

‘Strictly speaking, administrators subordinate to the Tower of Trials are just a type of quasi-god.’

Apostle deity.

At the point when I acquired power comparable to the three ancient gods, I would also have become a being that could compete with the Tower of Trials.

Thanks to this, it is now possible to freely overwrite the apostolic contracts made with the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman under the leadership of the Tower of Trials.

‘Now, it is not difficult to overwrite what was previously a purchase agreement between the manager and the challenger.’

This means that everything will be resolved just by proposing a subordination contract of Apostle Godhead to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman.

‘If I override the divine abilities that the Tower of Trials granted to the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman with my power, there won’t be much trouble.’

Should we say that it is thanks to him that he has become a power comparable to the three ancient gods?

Now, it is no longer a task to remove a few managers from the Tower of Trials.

And the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman also immediately realized this fact and expressed surprise, but it did not last long.

For some reason, regardless of which of the Iron Blood Lord or the White Crane Swordsman came first, both of their faces turned red and showed a bizarre reaction.

“what…? Bah bah what did you just say…!! “Chu, clack, clack…!!”

The Sangvis Monarch was very embarrassed, unlike her, and not only stuttered, but also coughed repeatedly.

“Apostle Godhead…? Ah, I hope we’ll continue to be together in the future…? Seongyoon Seo. “Is it okay to say that’s what it means?”

Baekhakgeomseon also stammered and expressed embarrassment, but unlike the Iron Blood Lord, he expressed a strange sense of anticipation.

“you’re right.”

“….”

I nodded and confirmed once again that Baekhakgeomseon’s guess was correct.

“It is safe to say that this is what it means for my apostle to become a god.”

“!”

Not only is it free from the subordination contract with the Tower of Trials, but it is also an opportunity to become an apostle of the transcendental and become a god.

[The Lord of Iron Blood glances at you and feels both joy and confusion.]

“Oh my… Is that what you mean? Oh, you mean it’s not a misunderstanding? Never ever! It’s not that I don’t like poetry, but… that. Ah, anyway, isn’t this too sudden…? Hmm! Well, there is definitely an order…”

“?”

[Administrator ‘Baekhakgeomseon (白鶴劍仙)’ looks at you with bright eyes and smiles brightly.]

“Huhuhuhu! W Of course! Hehehe! I thought this day would come someday? Seongyoon and I are connected by the thread of fate as teacher and disciple! Yes? Right?”

“….”

Is that why?

‘Is it something to be so embarrassed and happy about being able to override the dependency contract with the Tower of Trials…?’

When I told them that they could actually become free by becoming my apostle godhead rather than the Tower of Trials, they both reacted strongly.

‘Well, even if you sign a subordination contract with the Tower of Trials and come back as an administrator, it’s only natural that the administrator is not allowed to move freely.’

Well, even if it were me, I thought I would react as strongly as those two if I heard that I could be free after such a long time.

‘Actually, the dependency contract with the Tower of Trials is overwritten by signing one more contract with me, so strictly speaking, it doesn’t mean you will be completely free…’

Of course, the dependency contract with the Tower of Trials is overwritten with the apostle contract with me. It may be difficult to see it as complete freedom and liberation, but…

‘Do you think it won’t matter?’

I didn’t want to turn a good atmosphere into a bad one for the first time in a long time, so I stopped adding unnecessary objective commentary.

‘…Well, it’s true that it’s almost like freedom, and there’s no need to add unnecessary words when I’m so happy about it.’

…Isn’t imagination free?
