533. Transcendence (1)
Thump, thump… … .
There was tension in the air.
My heart is pounding hard and my fingertips are trembling slightly.
The immortality of the ancient gods, unlike that of the Transcendent One, was not a symbol of true immortality that would not die.
‘Both me and that guy are beings who have surpassed the level of ancient divinity. Losing in a match means immediate death.’
Winner takes all.
If you win, you have everything, if you lose, you lose everything.
But why is that?
I don’t hate it.
Sigh-.
no.
Rather, it’s fun.
After the War of the Gods, I was reborn as an absolute power that surpassed the three ancient gods, and it was difficult to find an opponent in the entire universe.
Becoming stronger is always achieved through fighting against enemies that cannot guarantee victory. Therefore, not being able to fight against the strong meant that the path to ascension was blocked.
One, not anymore.
‘… … .’
God of chaos.
The true form of the being known as the god of despair, downfall, and madness radiated a strength that was out of this world.
The power of the divinity and soul that surpassed me, which had become stronger than the three ancient gods, was close to the symbol of a semi-transcendent being.
Unlike the times when he coveted the power that this side possessed and repeatedly showed jealousy and envy, he did not show any signs of being swayed by emotions during important situations.
Moreover, as he regained his original form as the God of Chaos, his emotional turmoil also noticeably decreased, so his opponent’s weaknesses completely disappeared.
The power of the Tower of Trials may not be visible, but its size and scale are formidable.
‘Are you the strongest…?’
I am.
He is competing for the title of transcendentalist against the strongest deity in history.
‘That’s fun.’
That was the stimulus.
“Let’s get started.”
I took a step forward, showing off my excited laughter.
“As a user, you have encountered a strong opponent that is difficult to handle.”
“The skill ‘Unbreakable Will’ is activated.”
「… … .」
“The conditions for activating the special order have been met.”
“The exclusive spell
“All abilities and all skill efficiency increase by 100% until the end of the battle.”
「… … .」
“The myth
“All abilities increase by +3,000.”
“The special buff
“All damage inflicted on the God of Chaos increases by +10%.”
A power that could not even meet the conditions for use by the ancient gods of the Pantheon is activated.

The next moment.
───.
‘see.’
Gray world.
I captured the god of chaos moving within my field of vision forming at superluminal speeds.
The God of Chaos moved casually and moved his mouth in the gray world.
━Huh… … . You are mine. It is an unavoidable fate that you become mine. Challenger.
I knew it.
Gray world. Following the movement of superluminal speed. My prediction was right.
… … I replied curtly, my mouth still full of a smile.
━I’ll kill you.

That ended the conversation.
───.
I activated my acceleration ability again in the gray world and started to move forward, and the god of chaos also walked without saying a word.
‘… … .’
But… … .
‘Why…?’
It was strange.
‘Why am I faster?’
Because I was the one moving the fastest in the gray world, and the god of chaos wasn’t that fast.
Just before I killed the God of Pride, the God of Chaos struck me with a fatal blow that was beyond the realm of perception.
Since it was a fatal blow that was established under the premise that this side was moving faster than the other side, I couldn’t help but be skeptical.
But I didn’t let my guard down.
‘I can’t rule out the possibility that it’s psychological warfare. … … I can’t help but think that I have the upper hand in speed warfare.’
I thought I had some idea of the power of the God of Chaos, but not anymore.
What I saw while climbing the Tower of Trials was only the power of the ‘god of despair, fall, and madness’.
The god of despair, fall, and madness that I knew was most likely a false image of the god of chaos before he regained his true form.
‘If that is what the God of Chaos said it was, then the power displayed by the God of Despair, Fall, and Madness is of no use in battle.’
In fact, the powers displayed when he was called the God of Despair, Fall, and Madness were only a small portion of the powers possessed by the God of Chaos.
‘Knowing the enemy’s power is the first priority. Find out the hidden power of the God of Chaos. Focus on that for now.’
The only time the God of Chaos showed his power was when he killed the God of Pride following the moment of his manifestation.
In order to find out your opponent’s strength, you will have to push them to the point where they have no choice but to use all their power.
I activated my power skill ‘Grace of the Wind’ to its maximum in the gray world and showed explosive acceleration.
It becomes a ray of light itself and moves forward.
───.
and.
━Do you know that?
Even after seeing that, the God of Chaos continued speaking leisurely in the gray world.
━I know what it means to become a transcendent being. That’s why I have obtained powers close to transcendence. Like the Tower of Trials, my friend.
… … .
‘It’s probably part of a psychological warfare. Paying attention to it will only break my concentration. I have to do what I can.’
Ignored it.
I don’t have time to worry about that kind of nonsense.
I raised the swords in both hands in the gray world and began to strike.
━Chaos is despair, a fall, madness… … ‘I’ am a being that symbolizes the error of things and phenomena, itself.
and…….
━This is about the concept of divinity that is formed by the subjectivity of an object. However, ‘I’ further realized that the mixing of everything is also chaos.
The next moment.
━The subjective concept is moving towards the objective concept.
… … .
━The transcendental is a being that deals with objective concepts as well as subjective concepts.
He raised his right hand and made a palm gesture, a joyful smile on his lips.
━It is a being that most perfectly realizes all the meanings of things and phenomena and redefines all meanings.
That was it.
━’I’ve obtained the power of the transcendent being, even if it’s only a small part. That’s why I’m strong.
however…….
━The concept of ‘chaos’ expanded the divinity from the subjective to the objective realm, and differentiated the objective realm and classified it into the subjective realm.
A sense of crisis came over me.
━The objective realm of ‘chaos’ was demoted to the subjective realm of ‘despair’, ‘fall’, and ‘madness’. This was to avoid the strong restraint of causality.
I naturally realized that I was bound to lose the match regardless of causality.
━One, now the causality of the law of cause and effect no longer binds me.
That’s not all.
━Furthermore, I have regained the realm of objectivity, not the realm of subjectivity. As the ‘God of Chaos’.
God of chaos.
The ancient deity’s existence as the ‘god of despair, downfall, and madness’ was merely a means to avoid the bonds of causality.
At this point, when the manifestation of the true self has completely ended and the law of causality has disappeared, the power of the strong man who has lived for nearly an eternity far surpasses common sense.
━So.
The next moment.
━I will personally show you how vain a dream it is to become a transcendent being, challenger.
The world was plunged into chaos and faced destruction filled with despair.
***
“Died.”
***
… … .
***
Tick, tick-!
“The exclusive effect of the Returner’s Worn Wristwatch (SSS+) ‘Death Return’ is activated.”
“The world’s time is completely reverted to 10 minutes before the moment of loss of life.”
“The exclusive effect of the Returner’s Worn Wristwatch (SSS+) ‘Death Return’ creates a cooldown of 30 days.”
***
Gooooo.
“The God of Chaos chuckles and mocks the challenger’s appearance.”
[ You look tired. Why, are you dissatisfied because things don’t go your way? That’s what I told you, Challenger. ]
The God of Chaos descended to the ground, looked at me, and sneered.
“The God of Chaos feels an irresistible appetite, confident of victory.”
[ In the end, your arrogance will cause you to lose everything. That’s what I would have said. ]
I lay half-lying on the ground, catching my breath, without saying a word.
‘… … I was so determined to respond to the next blow, but it was impossible.’
It was a misjudgment.
The God of Chaos has been acting as the ‘God of Despair, Fall, and Madness’ only to avoid the causality of the law of causality.
From the beginning, the concept of ‘chaos’ was the basis of the God of Chaos’ divinity.
‘Despair’, ‘fall’, and ‘madness’ were merely by-products that branched off from a single concept, and this was possible because the concept of ‘chaos’ was elevated from the subjective to the objective realm.
So, so powerful.
‘It’s different for me.’
The skills are different.
Among the opponents who fought on their way to becoming ancient gods, there were quite a few who were considered to be strong based on the length of their lives.
They cried out that they could not possibly lose to a mere maggot that had only lived for a few hundred years, but they were all defeated by me and met their deaths.
However, the author is different.
‘Is this… the first candidate that the Tower of Trials judged to have the talent and qualifications to become a Transcendent?’
It seems like the years we have lived together have formed a large wall between us.
Just as I have become stronger by climbing the Tower of Trials, the author has also become stronger by crushing countless strong people.
Not only does he know things I don’t know, he also has overwhelming power, giving him the upper hand in every aspect.
The author is different.
‘The god of chaos, although unable to reach the realm of ascension, gained a glimpse of the transcendent by elevating the conceptual divinity from the subjective realm to the objective realm.’
It had overwhelming power and skill befitting its age and size.
Up until now, the God of Despair, Fall, and Madness had only shown signs of instability, as a price to pay for splitting the very foundation of the divinity.
As the God of Chaos, the fragment of that transcendent being who manifested his true self and regained his original form is the most powerful being in the universe.
‘I am weak.’
I wasn’t able to fully revive even with the special effect ‘Death Reversion’ of ‘Returner’s Worn Watch (SSS+)’.
‘It’s a fatal wound. I won’t be able to fight much longer. Then, I’ll lose in the final battle, and be devoured by the God of Chaos… … That’s how I’ll die.’
Knock, knock, knock… … .
I stared blankly at the drops of blood falling to the ground and soaking into the dirt, and then suddenly burst out laughing.
“under.”
Know.
I had engraved deep in my heart the fact that I might end up as a loser rather than a victor in the final battle.
It may have been foolish. I don’t want to make excuses for that. I will never want to.
But still, my heart does not change.
widely!
I staggered, but I didn’t give up and tried to get up.
“… … go, … … hey.”
[ ? ]
“… … I … … will.”
[ … … . ]
Sigh.
From the beginning, there was only one wish.
“I…….”
I want to become strong.
“I will win.”
It was like that even before I climbed the Tower of Trials.
“I will win. There is no such thing as defeat. … … God of Chaos.”
I want to be stronger than anyone else.
I don’t want to be oppressed by anyone.
I want to reach the pinnacle of power and become a strong person that no one else can reach.
“You… … said I would be yours, right? I’ll give those words back to you.”
From the moment I seized the opportunity just for that, I ran nonstop to get here.
“The god of transcendence and death reveals his triumphant spirit with a smile full of repulsion.”
[ … … I will win. In the end, everything you thought was yours will fall into my hands. God of Chaos. ]
therefore…….
Kick───!
“The God of Chaos nods his head in provocation, laughing at the foolish challenger.”
[Okay. Go ahead and give it a try. After all, you are the challenger. … … Come and see.]
I will definitely change that laughter into astonishment and attain the realm of transcendence that no one has ever reached.
‘There is no place to retreat anymore.’
certainly.
‘I have to use all the strength I have.’
It’s time to make a bold move.
… … .
I slowly closed my eyes, opened the gates of ascension, and released my hidden power.
Kiiing───!!
The law of precognition
Kugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu───!
What that means is one thing.
“The law of foresight
At this moment, I had gained the power of a quasi-transcendent being, surpassing only a fraction of the omnipotence of the God of Chaos.
