[Oops, words… … , no… … . ]
The usurper muttered, eyes wide open as he looked down at the sword that had pierced his heart.
[Forcibly destroying the divinity… … . ]
Did he not know that he would die instantly with this blow?
It probably refers to the Divine Power <Death> or the special power “Sasin’s Eye”… … .
It wasn’t that surprising.
Divinity <Death> brings death to everything, and the power within the Shinigami created as a result is the power to create a weakness that leads to death.
It was as if the defeat of the usurper had already been predestined at the time of this encounter.
‘It’s strange to survive even after being hit with this authentically.’
So, the tower also printed out the ordeal clear message.
Because there is no way for the usurper to survive anymore.
But as if he thought he could still survive, the usurper began to squirm his hands and feet.
[ like this… … , can’t end… … . A little more power… … . ]
And at the same time, his pupils reflected an inexhaustible greed.
A person who has plundered the power of countless people and gathered enough status to become a god of one dimension.
To think that I am seeing the end of such an existence makes me feel new… … .
I didn’t want to see it for very long.
‘It doesn’t feel good.’
It was worth it.
After all, the usurper is somewhat similar to me.
The appearance of yearning to become stronger, and the desire for the power of others without knowing the end were similar.
But it was only natural that he couldn’t be in a good mood seeing the end.
[Now it’s really over. ]
I immediately activated my divine power with my eyes closed.
「Use Divine <Death>.」
After that, the usurper’s body stopped moving.
Just like that, the usurper’s body turned to ashes and disappeared in an instant.
Climbing the tower, I didn’t even have time to enjoy the fact that I had won against a godhead for the first time, and a new message came to my mind.
“Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s victory against the Divine Power brought him 7.4% closer to ascension.”
「As a special reward for <Divinity Ascension>, you will acquire the exclusive effect ‘Divine Recovery Speed Increase (B+)’.」
“From now on, challenger Han Seong-yoon’s divine power will recover faster than before.”
<Divinity Ascension> was triggered by the myth <Possibility of Transcendence>.
That also resulted in a 7.4% rise in Ascension.
Even as a special reward, ‘divine recovery speed increase (B+)’ was obtained, and the consumed divine power began to fill up quickly.
Certainly, unlike before, I could feel a tremendous amount of power dwelling in my body.
Enjoying that pleasant growth, I smiled a little.
[ … … . ]
Now, with the level of divinity rising, it seemed like I could do something fun with divine power.
In response, I immediately activated the divine power.
「The authority ‘divine power’ is activated.」
Originally, it was not possible to use such useful power only with the power of divine power.
At most, it was only to protect the body from the power of the divine authority.
If there were any other uses, it would be to cover the skin with divinity and emit light.
But now it’s different.
“Time is over.”
「The divine power ‘Apotheosis’ is deactivated and cannot be reused for 8 hours.」
Even if he did not use deification, he was able to use divine power in a new way.
Just like this.
Blasphemy!
In the blink of an eye, the divine power that flowed outside turned into ice.
Even with divinity.
The ice created by the divine power freely changed its shape and took on various forms.
Soon, I consumed the divine power next to the divine ice and created a flame close to the polarity.
Fire!
And the flame was also divine, and it was possible to change the form as much as possible.
I’m guessing that this divine power can be converted into something like magical power instead of fire or ice.
That wasn’t all.
Perhaps this divine power could even materialize things like skills or powers.
Of course, I’ve never tried it myself, so I can’t say for sure.
‘Still, it’s a good change.’
Then I heard a familiar voice in my ears.
-her. Is it possible to freely change the divine power now? To get this much power on the 18th floor… … .
It was Damcheonwoo.
―Divinity substitution is a technique that inexperienced deities cannot handle properly… … .
He muttered something like he was dumbfounded, and then laughed in vain.
―The growth rate alone is a monster.
“I got the godhead, but shouldn’t I grow to this extent? Otherwise, it would have been unfair.”

—… … That too, though. Still, this level of growth is unusual. It will be a record that won’t be in the top twice.
“Then it would be nice if you gave me more achievements.”
At those words, I licked my lips.
It didn’t matter what he said because it was a record that would be second to none in the tower.
Because what really matters is the real gain.
I wish I could get more achievements to raise my stats or learn skills… … .
The achievement achievement message did not come to mind, as if such a small growth did not give an achievement.
But the regret was only momentary.
‘… … Come to think of it, if the trials on the 18th floor are cleared, won’t I be able to use that authority now?’
Suddenly, he remembered the exclusive authority he had received from the God of Proof in the Giant Tree Labyrinth, and immediately activated that authority.
「Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increase reward (1/2)] is activated.」
increase in reward.
The effect of the exclusive authority to increase the level of compensation obtained through the trials of the tower was intuitive.
「The reward level is increased by exclusive authority #D-0007 [Reward increase (1/2)].」
「The reward for breaking through the 18th floor, ‘The Usurper’s Leather Gloves (SS-)’ will be strengthened to ‘The Usurper’s Leather Gloves (SS+)’.」
“As an additional breakthrough reward on the 18th floor, the skill ‘Shock Reversal (B+)’ is enhanced to ‘Shock Block (A-)’.”
“As an additional breakthrough reward on the 18th floor, ‘Superlative Combat Cyberware (A-)’ will be enhanced to ‘Ragnat Corp. No.17 Limited Edition Combat Cyberware (A+)’.”
The skills and items received as a reward for the 18th floor trials were all strengthened.
When I acquired the authority to increase the reward, the explanation I saw was that it was only about adding [+] to the reward grade… … .
several times better than that.
The breakthrough reward grade is the same as having been raised twice, and the additional breakthrough reward has completely changed the name of the skill and item.
“It’s amazing.”
The reward increase wasn’t a fully dedicated privilege.
The authority to increase the reward received from the god of proof is only half of the original authority.
Still, this level of performance… … .
I was looking forward to what would happen if I got the right to increase the reward with the original look.
I thought to him with a deep smile.
‘I need to make a quick stop at the common area on the 21st floor.’
Let’s quickly get the authority to increase the rest of the rewards from the god of proof.
Of course, there is a condition that you have to go to the waiting room on the 21st floor… … .
Still, I wondered if I could get there quickly if I climbed as fast as I could.
The only thing I’m worried about is that the god of despair, fall, and madness might be up for grabs again.
‘No matter how ancient Godhead is, he won’t be able to do tricks right away.’
The god of despair, fall, and madness must have consumed a lot of divinity because of this.
After all, I gave the usurper a lot of information.
That’s why you can’t forcefully intervene like this again on the next floor.
Even on this 18th floor stage, even the intervention could have been meaningless if the usurper had not waited for the apotheosis.
The next ordeal didn’t seem to be that different either.
‘We have to climb the tower quickly before outside intervention occurs.’
I made up my mind and soon absorbed the usurper’s command.
「Absorbed the command of ‘Eold Balkan’, the god of usurpation.」
「Skill increases by 27%.」
And at the same time, the proficiency of Necromancy increased tremendously.
Accordingly, the message of raising the level of necromancy came to mind.
Indeed, it is the growth of a unique characteristic that has been experienced for a long time, so expectations are rising.
「The mastery of the unique attribute ‘Necromancy’ has reached 100%.」
「The level of the unique attribute ‘Necromancy’ has gone up by one level#^&*!… … .」
However, the grade increase did not occur as expected.
Instead, the sentence of the system message was broken as it was, and before long, new messages came to mind.
“… … .」
「Because the conditions are not satisfied, the level of the unique attribute ‘Necromancy’ does not increase.」
「Until the growth conditions are met, the mastery of the unique attribute ‘Necromancy’ is fixed at 99.99%.」
“What is this again… … .”
Are you not satisfied with the conditions?
I couldn’t understand.
I’ve watched the growth of necromancy many times, but the system message was broken and the growth was not blocked.
There was never even a separate condition for growth.
I frowned at that, but aside from that, power extraction began soon after.
「Absorbs a spirit stronger than the user, and the judgment of power extraction begins.」
I continued my thoughts while watching the message of extracting power that appeared to block my view.
‘… … Could it be that S-grade necromancy has separate growth conditions?’
The guess itself didn’t seem wrong.
Unlike normal unique traits, necromancy can also get divinity for free when you reach A rank.
Perhaps the benefits of achieving an S rank in Necromancy would be enormous.
So it’s not that the new effect is so fraudulent that it wouldn’t make sense if growth conditions were added.
However, the problem is what are the conditions for the newly created grade increase.
‘It’s not just about raising the level of proficiency, it’s a condition that needs to be addressed separately.’
It’s not even that I don’t get it at all.
Necromancy is the power to deal with death.
Looking at the Divine Authority <Death> and <Immortality>, necromancy was closely related to death-related abilities.
Therefore, perhaps this grade-up condition is also related to death.
「Judgment successful.」
「It has been confirmed that authority exists in the command of ‘Eold Balkan’, the god of usurpation.」
「Extracts authority from the spirit.」
「The special power ‘Creation of Divine Realm (C+)’ is imprinted in the soul of user Han Seong-yoon.」
Of course, it’s just speculation, so I can’t be sure… … .
Still, I couldn’t dismiss it as meaningless.
Necromancy is the source of my growth, so I had to unconditionally satisfy the conditions for raising my level.
That way it will grow faster.
Having concluded that, I immediately used the usurper’s command.
「Absorbs the spirit of ‘Eold Balkan’, the god of usurpation, and permanently increases stats.」
“Muscle strength has increased by 12.”
「Agility has increased by 9.」
“Your physical strength has increased by 11.”
「Magic power has increased by 19.」
「Durability has increased by 9.」
and.
「You have absorbed the command of ‘Eold Balkan’, the god of usurpation, and have satisfied the special conditions.」
「You can acquire one of the divinities possessed by the commandant of ‘Eold Balkan’, the god of usurpation.」
「Currently, the potential divinities that can be acquired are <Usurpation>, <Destruction>, <Discipline>, and <Activation>.”
「※ At this time, the potential divinity that was not selected will not appear as an option later.」
The time to acquire a new divinity has come.
