All Master of 100 Floors Episode 231
51st Floor. Elf Forest (3)
[Arminin? I’ve never heard of this deity.]
“You don’t know of him?”
[Do you have any idea how many gods exist in this world? Unless they’re a supreme deity governing an entire concept, they’re not worth remembering.]
Eldyria spoke with indifference. Kang Jun-hyeok laughed. That was all he needed. He opened his mouth toward the Holy Knights blocking his path.
“I merely save the Elves. I have no intention of opposing this god.”
“Your very actions obstruct the will of the One!”
“Are you saying that Elves being enslaved and oppressed by humans is the will of the god Arminin?”
The Holy Knights tightened their grip on their swords instead of answering. Eldyria clicked her tongue knowingly.
[So an incompetent being has gained consciousness and is wielding influence.]
“If that is your god’s will, then I have but one course of action.”
Kang Jun-hyeok stomped his foot. The ground trembled violently.
“Stand aside. I will only act according to my own will.”
“…In the name of Arminin!”
“Carry out the will of the One!”
The Holy Knights rushed forward with fierce determination, their blades raised. Divine Power coursed through their weapons.
Crackle.
“Gack!”
“Gahhh!”
The Holy Knights were swept away in an instant. Divine Power, however they wielded it, was merely borrowed strength. It could not impede Kang Jun-hyeok’s advance. They had come prepared for martyrdom.
He disposed of them adequately and obliterated the city they had been protecting.
“Ahhhhh….”
A figure who appeared to be a Lord despaired at the sight of the ruined city.
“Arminin will strike you down with divine punishment!”
“I’ll be waiting.”
Kang Jun-hyeok spoke with leisure.
He continued to obliterate cities thereafter. Arminin’s believers desperately tried to stop him, but the overwhelming difference in power was insurmountable. At last, Kang Jun-hyeok arrived before a massive church.
Arminin’s Church.
Their Holy Ground. Numerous Holy Knights and believers stood watching him with tense expressions, as if they had been awaiting his arrival. And standing at the outer edge was a young man.
“It is an honor to meet you, Rukator. God of Mystery. I am Aseka, Apostle of Arminin.”
“An Apostle, then.”
For the first time, interest flickered across Kang Jun-hyeok’s face. The power emanating from Aseka was the strongest presence he had encountered in this world. He was likely the strongest on this planet. Aseka offered a gentle smile.
“Your actions have become an obstacle to our god. I humbly ask that you withdraw.”
“And if I refuse?”
“Then… I’m afraid it cannot be helped. Please forgive my rudeness!”
Formidable Divine Power dwells within Aseka’s body.
“Haaaa!”
Boom!
The distance closes in an instant as a fist hurtles toward Kang Jun-hyeok.
I moved my body appropriately to evade and deflect the assault. In that instant, a peculiar sensation dominated my entire being.
A sensation as though his very flesh was being controlled and suppressed. Kang Jun-hyeok murmured.
“Is this the Authority of a God?”
“You are a Great God! But you are merely an Avatar! You cannot resist the Authority of the One! Withdraw!”
Kuuuuuung!
The Ground erupts. A force that transcends the category of humanity. That too must be the Authority of Arminin. Aseka, wielding such formidable Authority, was undoubtedly worthy of being called the strongest in this World.
“Ooooh!”
“Lord Aseka!”
Indeed, upon witnessing that power, the Holy Ground Believers let out exclamations of awe.
But that was all it amounted to.
Snap.
Kang Jun-hyeok catches the incoming fist. The air ruptures, yet Kang Jun-hyeok remains utterly unmoved. Aseka’s pupils quiver.
“What?”
Crack!
That body bends. Like a billiard ball struck by a cue, he flies through the air and crashes into the Wall of the Holy Ground.
Aseka, who had writhed briefly, goes limp. Kang Jun-hyeok spoke with indifference.
“Even so, you’re merely at the level of the 2nd Tier.”
“….”
The people fall silent, their faces etched with shock. The Apostle of the great Arminin whom they worship has been utterly defeated. The Dignity of the God could not help but be tarnished.
And a God would never simply stand by and watch such a thing.
Kuguguguung!
The unconscious Aseka’s body floats upward. A great Divine Status settles upon that form. The people gasp in terror and bow their heads.
“Ahhhhh!”
“The Great God! The God!”
The God descends, borrowing the body of the Apostle.
Aseka’s eyes open. Within them dwells Divine Status.
[Cease. Foreign God. I am the God of Anger who governs through cruel oppression. I am Arminin.]
“Finally, you arrive.”
Kang Jun-hyeok laughed.
* * *
[What are you that you suddenly intervene and disrupt the order of this planet? Such conduct cannot be tolerated….]
Arminin’s words trailed off.
[Wait. You. What are you? I sense Divine Power, but I sense no Divine Status.]
“The reason is quite simple.”
Kang Jun-hyeok answered lightly.
“I am not a god. I merely imitate one.”
[…How dare you.]
Anger laced Arminin’s voice.
[How dare you! How dare a mere mortal impersonate the name of a god! What blasphemy is this! An unforgivable sin!]
The god’s wrath took tangible form, crushing down upon Kang Jun-hyeok.
My instincts screamed a warning.
The being before me could kill me with a single blow.
I could neither resist nor oppose it.
Of course, gods could not easily intervene on the ground.
Had that been possible, this universe would already be in chaos under the gods’ dominion.
Yet even so, it was sufficient to kill me as I was now. That being was a god—one who had dominated concepts from birth. I knew this truth better than anyone.
That is why I spoke.
“Then I must ask for your aid.”
[…I see.]
Eldyria laughed.
[I wondered what you meant by saying you had a favor to ask of me. How amusing.]
“I apologize for the impertinence of my request.”
[No. Our relationship is also one of the powers you have gained by climbing the Tower. It is the proper use of it. Think nothing of it.]
Eldyria chuckled and opened her mouth.
[Listen here, Arminin.]
Arminin, who had been erupting in rage, froze. His voice trembled as he spoke.
[…Eldy, ria?]
[Ho. You know of me? How convenient. This child is my successor. Do not dare touch him. Withdraw.]
[U, uuugh.]
Arminin was greatly flustered. Yet he did not retreat—instead, he intensified his power.
[I am a god! Eldyria. Even if you are strong, you still possess a mortal vessel! You are nothing but a trivial being, not a god.]
[Ha.]
Eldyria spoke with evident amusement.
[You dare suggest that a creature like you could stop me?]
In an instant, a tremendous pressure bore down upon Arminin. His descended body crumpled, and he fell to his knees.
[U, uuuugh!]
[You know not your place.]
Manbyeonggi spoke with indifference.
In this world, countless gods existed.
And each God presided over concepts of vastly different kinds.
Among them existed both grand concepts and minor ones.
Grand concepts were concepts themselves—such as Doctrine, Weapons, Laws, and Jealousy.
Minor concepts, by contrast, were the countless elements that existed within those grand concepts.
And Arminin was the God who governed cruel conquest and oppression through Control.
He was merely a God who dominated minor concepts.
Naturally, the power of a God governing grand concepts and a God governing minor concepts differed as vastly as heaven and earth—a chasm so immense that even such a comparison fell short.
And Eldyria was the Queen of all Vampires.
Her power rivaled that of a God who governed grand concepts.
[A God governing neither conquest nor control, yet you—governing only some trivial minor concept—dare call me insignificant? How audacious.]
[Ughhhhhh!]
[Then let us see if you possess power befitting such words.]
An even more overwhelming presence bore down upon Arminin. His divine descent upon the ground threatened to be crushed entirely. Unable to endure any longer, Arminin cried out.
[I… I confess! I was wrong! Please, I beg your forgiveness!]
“!!”
The faces of the believers watching turned ashen.
Their great God had submitted to the being before them. Though it should have been inevitable, for them it was as though the very heavens and earth were collapsing.
[I… I shall no longer interfere with that one. You are free to act as you wish.]
Arminin spoke hurriedly, clearly unwilling to become further entangled.
There would be no one left in this place to obstruct his movements.
But Kang Jun-hyeok had no intention of stopping here.
“Eldyria. Might I impose upon you for one more favor?”
[What is it?]
Kang Jun-hyeok made his request to Eldyria. She laughed with delight.
[Aha. You intend to squeeze every last drop, do you?]
“Would it be possible?”
[Precarious as it is… but given that he is already in a corrupted state, there should be no great issue. Listen here, God called Arminin.]
[W-why do you address me so?]
Arminin flinched, trembling. Eldyria spoke with unhurried composure.
[The reason Elves are treated as slaves in this world is because you permitted it and actively encouraged it, is it not?]
[….]
[You shall undo it. Free the Elves and treat them as equals to Humans. Should you declare this upon your own name, there will be no complications.]
[N-no matter who you are, I cannot involve myself to that extent! Whatever I command my believers to do is my freedom….]
[Do you take me for a fool? You are the God of conquest, oppression, and control—not the God of any particular race. Yet you have taken the side of Humans and oppressed the Elves. What do you suppose would happen if the Elves’ God, or the God of Order and Doctrine, learned of this truth?]
Not all Gods maintained amicable relations with one another.
They clung obsessively to the concepts they governed.
It would be no exaggeration to call it madness.
As such, conflicts between their concepts frequently led to mutual hostility.
And what Arminin had been doing was more than sufficient to provoke certain Gods. Knowing this, Arminin fell silent.
[…U-uuuuh.]
[Did you enjoy doing as you pleased in the Periphery of the Universe? That too comes to an end now. You may act as you wish. Only… I shall have matters requiring my attention.]
[D-dammit. I understand! I understand! I shall obey your word! Please, I beg you, do not speak of this to the other Gods!]
[You comprehend my meaning well enough. That suffices.]
[Uuugh….]
Arminin departed, trembling. In the silence that followed, Kang Jun-hyeok offered his gratitude.
“Thank you.”
[It is done. I too found this… enjoyable.]
Eldyria’s tone was one of delight.
What followed unfolded with breathtaking swiftness. Arminin’s revelation spread across the entire world. Though humanity reeled in shock, none dared resist the will of the Great God.
Treaties between nations and the Elves were swiftly established, and those bound in slavery began their liberation. It was an event that shook the very foundations of the world’s history.
And woven through that event was the name: Rukator.
Truly, it was an achievement that transformed the world. Dozens of pages inscribed themselves into the Scripture in an instant. Divine Power surged forth at tremendous speed, unlocking new qualifications.
[Divine Power + 5]
[Lost God’s Divine Radiance Proficiency has risen from E to D.]
[Active Skill: Lost God’s Sanctuary has been acquired.]
