The Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 470

470. Starting point (2)

The world of images.

It was obvious why I entered a mental space I had never been to except once, when desperately climbing the Tower of Trials.

I was trapped in a world of images, completely unrelated to my intentions, by the god of darkness standing before my eyes.

‘It’s unclear why the God of Darkness almost forcibly handed over his divine to me and at the same time was dragged into the world of images.’

Now I had to figure out why I was trapped in the world of images.

‘For the ancient godhead, concept divinity is the ego itself, and the world of images is a mental space, so concept divinity and concept divinity collide and their image worlds are mixed.’

If we are to be more specific, should we say that it is the aftermath of a collision between concept divinity and concept divinity?

Isn’t it possible to say that the divinity is a personality that embodies the very existence of the God of Darkness?

Because this side accepted it without any filtering process, the world of each person’s images engraved in the concept of divinity became mixed like this.

‘There is a high possibility that the unknown darkness seeping into various parts of the world of images is a phenomenon caused by the clash of concept divinity.’

It was certain.

Darkness appears sparsely in an image world with a space-like background, as if there is noise somewhere.

Not only that, darkness was slowly seeping into the brilliant golden light and majestic jet-black whirlpools that filled the space-like image world like decorations.

The worlds of each other’s images merge into one.

‘It’s definitely different from when the Demon God tried to forcibly pollute my mind with the sacred earlier.’

At that, I couldn’t help but click my tongue and frown.

Even when the sacred was forcibly obtained, there was an attempt by the Demon God to pollute one’s mind…

Nevertheless, the world of each other’s images has never been so mixed as it is now, right?

There was a high possibility that the God of Darkness was like this because he had some special intention rather than purely trying to win the match through mental contamination like the Demon God.

‘Rather, unlike the Demon God, the God of Darkness completely handed over ownership of the sacred to me, causing the world of images to become mixed up.’

I had already figured out why the God of Darkness sought the conflict and unity of the world of images by transferring his divine to this side.

“By handing over the concept of divinity, which is the basis of godhood, without filtering, we will unite each other’s world of images and thereby go to the ‘real world’….”

I narrowed my eyes and looked at the god of darkness beyond. handed it over.

“Are you out of your mind?”

It was absurd.

In fact, what the God of Darkness did was tantamount to throwing away his own life like stubble in order to go to the ‘real world’.

If he escapes from this world of images in the future, the God of Darkness will lose all the divinity and mana power he has accumulated over a long period of time.

Turp, plod, trudge -.

But…

[The God of Darkness looks at you and smiles.]

[Hehe. It may seem crazy to you, child, but there was no better way for me. ]

The God of Darkness walked lightly as if he had no regrets and answered with a bright smile.

[Image world. By inserting and hiding my own ego as the sacred within it, you and I become one with each other and ascend together to the ‘real world’. That was the only option for me to watch the brilliant light that is you. ]

Unlike in the real world, she playfully walked her steps, fluttering a gorgeous black dress instead of a black robe.

[Child. From the beginning, things like winning weren’t that important. It was just a story about whether or not I could forcefully hand over my divinity to you. And somehow, I was lucky enough to achieve what I wanted even though I didn’t win the match. ]

Perhaps the God of Darkness was victorious after a life-or-death battle, but he still tried to forcibly hand over the sacred to this side…

“…From the beginning, the God of Darkness was in collusion with the God of Time and the like. So it wasn’t like I was giving any strength.”

At this point, you can’t help but notice.

“It’s just because being next to the God of Time has a greater chance of finding the perfect timing to engrave the divine on me.”

The fact is that the God of Darkness standing before my eyes had already entered the fight with this intention a long time ago.

“Isn’t it?”

That was actually the case.

[The God of Darkness nods, showing satisfaction with your insight.]

[Hehe. That’s amazing, kid. God of Time That worthless thing deserved to be called the Seed of Ascension. That’s the correct answer. ]

After hearing what this person said, the God of Darkness immediately expressed his approval without any hesitation.

[ okay. Child, just as you said, I never even thought about lending my power to the God of Time from the beginning. It was a truly successful play. ]

I couldn’t understand it at all.

Why on earth does the God of Darkness cling to me so much, saying he wants to see the ‘brilliant light’ with me?

Of the three ancient deities, this was the one who bestowed their favor with the least understood motive, so curiosity arose like crazy, but it was only temporary.

“Are you aware of what you have done?”

It was natural.

“I have no intention of letting it become a reality by mixing with my imaginary world and ascending to the ‘real world,’ but you know that it would be a big deal even if that were to happen.”

Isn’t that right?

“The ancient godhead is transformed into divinity itself and becomes immortal as a concept that exists in the universe.”

If the god of darkness attaches himself to my imaginary world and goes to the ‘real world’, an uncontrollable emergency could occur.

“However, because the ancient godhead became a concept that exists in the universe through the power of divinity, there cannot be two beings with the same definition of the concept of divinity.”

It’s no different…

“But…”

Isn’t it a simple story?

“Do you know what would happen if that person were to sneak into my mental world and end up in the ‘real world’?”

This person had experienced many different things while climbing the Tower of Trials.

In a place called the Battlefield of the Gods created by the Tower of Trials, haven’t you ever fought with someone who is said to be the God of Victory, who is an imitation of the divinity that this side possesses?

At that time, the God of Victory almost completely copied the very concept of sacred thanks to the power given by the Tower of Trials, but in the end, it could only end up being a fake and not the real thing.

“From the moment that side melts into my imaginary world and ascends to the ‘real world,’ two ‘gods of darkness’ exist in one universe.”

This is because the divine supernormal ability given to the God of Victory by the Tower of Trials had the exact same meaning as the divine , and was deteriorated due to the contradiction in its existence.

“If two completely identical concepts of divinity exist in one universe, one of them will be defined as ‘real’ and the other will be defined as ‘fake.’”

At least when the God of Victory received the divine supernormal power, a replica of the divine , from the Tower of Trials, it was determined that this was the original and that was the replica, so the story did not become complicated, but this is a completely different level from the last time. Isn’t it?

“That is…”

And.

“God of darkness.”

That means only one thing.

“If one of the two does not disappear, in the worst case, there is a possibility that both concepts will collapse and disappear together.”

That is, the original dark god who exists outside the Tower of Trials may die.

***

Absolutely.

Although it is only a coincidence, the worst thing that could possibly come true would be the extinction of the original God of Darkness.

It was not a good thing that the original God of Darkness was destroyed by the God of Darkness who was merely a replica created in the Tower of Trials.

‘But there are also more serious cases than that.’

Moreover, the worst case scenario in which the original God of Darkness beyond the Tower of Trials and the Replica God of Darkness standing in front of him were destroyed together was not very likely to come true.

‘Neither of them can survive and the existence of the God of Darkness may disappear.’

If so, it’s obvious what will happen then.

‘If the God of Darkness, one of the three ancient gods, disappears, the balance of power will be broken.’

Her death will soon cause trouble because one of the overwhelming powers that can keep the transcendent structure called the Tower of Trials in check is the God of Darkness.

‘There is a possibility that within the pantheon, ancient gods other than the dark god, demon god, and dragon god may take advantage of the confusion to speak out.’

If that were not enough, even in the pantheon opposite to the Tower of Trials, ancient gods who were hostile to this side could step forward and commit hostile acts in earnest.

‘That one thing has to be prevented at all costs.’

This was undesirable because it could mean that this side would not be able to secure even the minimum amount of time to become stronger in the Tower of Trials.

‘Even if that’s not the case, I owe a lot to the original dark god.’

That’s not all.

As I climbed the Tower of Trials, didn’t I receive tremendous favor from the three ancient gods?

I also had some favorable feelings toward the God of Darkness, one of the three ancient gods.

‘Either way, we can’t take the possibility that the original Dark God could die.’

I couldn’t let that dark god, who was just a replica standing in front of me, kill the original dark god.

Wow-.

However…

‘The ideal direction would be for them to change their minds even now after hearing what I said.’

Unfortunately.

‘But it will be difficult.’

Persuasion is close to impossible. [

The God of Darkness listens to what you said and responds with a grin on his face.]

[What do you mean by that? ]

The God of Darkness did not show any special sign after hearing what I said.

[Even if the death of the ‘me’ existing in the ‘real world’ can occur, isn’t the ‘me’ in the ‘real world’ a different entity from me here? ]

She did not consider the dark god beyond the Tower of Trials to be the same person as herself.

[ On the other hand, if time passes like this, ‘I’ in the ‘fake world’ rather than the ‘real world’ will disappear like a mirage like a sand castle in front of the waves. In that case, it would be better to take a gamble and risk your own life. ]

Sze-.

[ so. ]

The God of Darkness stretched out his right arm forward with a smile on his beautiful face hidden by his black robe.

[The God of Darkness is confident of his own victory.]

[…Now let’s not waste any more time and become one and go beyond. ]

Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!

In an instant, darkness of indescribable depth began to overflow throughout the universe in the world of images.

The memories and emotions of the ‘god of darkness’ itself, which resides in the sacred , overflow into the mental space.

Unlike the real world, the world of images was a place where people had to fight not with actual strength, but with the strength of each other’s minds and spirits as weapons.

[The Dark God takes pity on you.]

[Child. It may be a truly unfortunate story, but you have no choice. Unlike in the real world, in the world of imagination, the weight of time becomes so great that it cannot be ignored… In the end, my victory is virtually guaranteed. ]

The God of Darkness also knew that fact, so he expressed some sympathy and said so.

[Ah…don’t worry. My child, I will do my best to end this story so that you do not feel any pain. ]

Memories and emotions.

[If you just close your eyes for a moment and open them, everything will be over. ]

The moment when the life trajectory of the god of darkness itself is projected into the sacred and covers more than half of the world of images.

[So now let’s become one and meet again later and talk. ]

At the moment when the God of Darkness said that as if he was going to end this match, I answered in a cold voice.

“no.”

Before I knew it, I was staring at the waves of darkness filling up the universe in my mental world and stretched out my right arm forward.

“That won’t happen.”

chuck-.

“I also became convinced after talking with them.”

I have no intention of losing the match like this, as the God of Darkness wants.

“I will win, not you.”

However, the God of Darkness seemed to have sensed what he said as an unreasonable repulsion and answered with a smile.

[The God of Darkness laughs lightly and expresses regret at what you said.]

[Really? It may be admirable not to lose the will to fight even in the face of an overwhelming difference in power, but that is impossible. ]

It’s as if this person is dreaming of a fantasy story that will never come true.

[ You may not know it in the real world, but in the world of imagination, those with a heavier weight of time have stronger minds. ]

Except….

“Well, I don’t know.”

In reality, that wasn’t the case.

“Why on earth is competition in the world of images structured as a contest of mental strength?”

The core of the world of images does not consist of mental power for beings who have become ancient deities and have engraved their egos into the concept of divinity itself.

“If you became an ancient god and used the concept of divinity itself as a vessel for your mind, the yardstick for judging ‘mental strength’ would also be different from when you were mortal.”

Therefore, the ability of two ancient deities to influence each other’s success in the world of images depended on the concept of divinity rather than on something vague like mental power.

“For the ancient godhead, if the concept of divinity is the reference point of the self, then mental strength is bound to change accordingly.”

and.

“You might have engraved your ego into only the sacred , but I am different from you.”

Next moment.

Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

In the blink of an eye, the golden and jet-black vortices scattered throughout the universe in the world of images began to spin like crazy, driving out the darkness itself.

[ ! ]

I used my own ego, which I had engraved as the basis of divinity in the Divine and the Divine , as a weapon to prevent the erosion of the other person’s mind.

“Did you say it was an overwhelming difference in power?”

That means only one thing.

[The gods of transcendence and death smile wryly, feeling satisfied.]

[─Then which side should feel the overwhelming difference in power now?]

Victory was confirmed.
