Chapter 145. Dragonic
〚Combination Complete!〛
A single tome materialized in my hand—the very book that would grant me the ability I desired.
〚Tome: Skill – Infinity Gate [Origin – EX+]〛
The result was extraordinary. What I had achieved through mere combination rivaled—nay, surpassed—centuries of my own relentless effort.
Though part of me felt deflated and bewildered, I understood the reason.
“It’s a skill that traverses dimensions, after all.”
Dimensional traversal—a concept fundamentally distinct from ordinary spatial movement, though the words seem synonymous. More precisely, it resembled summoning magic rather than conventional spellcraft.
As the name itself suggested, this ability opened gates similar to the Abyss Gate, connecting dimensions and enabling passage between them.
Moreover, dimensional traversal stood far above spatial movement in the hierarchy of power—complex, rare, and formidable. Even the Divine Beings could not traverse dimensions at will, which only underscored the magnitude of this ability.
The Origin rank and EX+ grade were no exaggeration whatsoever.
Satisfied with the result, I wasted no time registering the tome into my acquisition system, and the skill was immediately inscribed into my being, becoming one with my power.
〚Skill: Infinity Gate
Rank: Origin
Grade: EX+
LV 1
Description:
Abilities
– Infinity Gate Opening: Can only be opened by inputting desired dimensional coordinates
– Dimensional Codex: Registers traversed dimensions in a compendium. Special benefits are granted for each registered dimension.
– LV 2 Unlock〛
The skill had evolved beyond my initial conception, gaining an unexpected additional ability that made it even more satisfying. The sole limitation—requiring knowledge of dimensional coordinates—posed no real obstacle.
‘I won’t be traversing dimensions with such frequency anyway.’
Yet it was undeniably essential. As the level increased, more abilities would surely manifest, granting it potential worthy of being called transcendent.
‘It seems I could use it not merely for dimension-to-dimension travel, but for spatial movement as well.’
Thus it concluded. With this satisfying result in hand, I declared Floor 3 completely conquered and stepped out of the Tower of Ascension.
***
“Phew… that was exhausting.”
Checking my phone, barely two days had passed in the outside world. No matter how absurd the time ratio of 100,000:1 per year was, this felt hollow somehow.
“How long was I in there?”
A generous four hundred years. With such time vanished, the emptiness was understandable. On top of that, all the knowledge from the Infinite Library that had been etched into my mind just moments ago, enriching my understanding, had vanished in an instant.
“It feels as hollow as when a buff expires.”
I smacked my lips at the disappointment. At least there was some consolation—the knowledge of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art remained intact in my mind.
One thing was certain: the Tower of Ascension’s rewards, true to Lunatic difficulty, hadn’t betrayed me this time either.
I’d obtained two Divine Authorities. Considering that no one on Earth officially possessed Divine Authority yet… it was nothing short of insane rewards.
Let me correct that. To be precise, what I obtained from the Tower of Ascension was three source-grade skills. It was only through the power of the Limitless Heavenly Meridian that two martial arts skills became Divine Authorities.
Using the knowledge that remained in my mind, I manifested the Divine Authority. Pride’s magical power transformed into inner energy.
The moment I began circulating my energy, the inner force that had transformed into Heavenly Demon Divine Qi rampaged through my entire body in rapid circulation, making me feel tremendous power.
“Hmm~~ this is good.”
I wanted to test this power immediately. But I held back.
The Heavenly Demon Divine Qi transformed instantly. Now Pride’s magical power no longer transformed. Only the source of magical power itself converted into inner energy.
Primordial Unified Divine Art.
Light and darkness—the two colors visible when gazing at the distant universe transformed into power and dwelled within me. This too demonstrated enough strength to make me want to experiment immediately.
Inside the Infinite Library, I’d been frustrated by countless restrictions preventing experimentation, but using it like this brought a sense of liberation.
After confirming the performance, I moved immediately. Around the Tower of Ascension, the Dangun Guild and other major guilds that had entered the Tower had contributed buildings, and busy workers were constructing an entire city.
Needless to say, this land was mine. These buildings could only be erected because I had permitted it.
‘I need to expand development from this center.’
North Korea, which had become a land of monsters due to the Imoogi with the potential to become a Calamity-class beast, had become so desolate that finding remnants of the past civilization was impossible. All I needed to do was level the ground slightly and construct buildings.
There was no need to demolish anything separately. The construction time would naturally be drastically shortened.
“Hmm.”
As I examined the construction happening on my land for a while, I furrowed my brow and twisted my face in displeasure.
‘Flies.’
Several individuals caught my senses, which had already transcended the limits of superhuman ability through the power of the Limitless.
‘Only five of them?’
But each one possessed considerable power. Elite hunters who appeared to be at least B-rank—individuals with enough strength that even the nation would manage them carefully.
‘They’re tracking me precisely?’
Why?
I’d expected flies to swarm, but I thought that would happen after my identity was revealed. Since I’d entered the Tower of Ascension using the status of a Dangun Guild member, there was no way my identity could be known…
‘Could it be because of the Tower of Ascension?’
Then did someone who harbored a personal grudge against me send assassins?
If that’s the case, there’s no reason for me to sit still. Actually, regardless of the reason, it doesn’t matter. The emotion these people harbor toward me is unmistakably hostile.
It’s confirmed that we must fight for our lives against each other. There’s no need to hold back—I’ll just beat them half to death and ask questions later.
‘One B-rank. Two B-rank. One B+-rank. One A-rank.’
I was already eager to test my newly acquired powers anyway. How convenient that such excellent test subjects found me on their own.
My current stat rank is E+. Considering I was F+ before entering the Abyss, I could tell how brutally I’d pushed myself to defeat a single Demon King.
‘Some of the rank increase came from self-reinforcement, and some from the Colossal skill…’
Most importantly, the fact that some of the stat bonuses from the Divine Authority of Equivalent Exchange became permanently applied was an enormous gain. Combined with all the stat points I’d invested after overcoming Misfortune, the results were substantial.
〚Status
Primordial Void (Mythic): E+(47+20/100)
Pride (Origin): E+(47+20/100)
.
.
.〛
If I utilized every buff available, these two stats could temporarily rise to D-rank. At minimum, I could contend with A-rank opponents.
‘S-rank may be difficult, but A-rank is certainly within reach.’
The true advantage lay in the fact that my power extended far beyond myself alone. With the two Demon Kings and the Vampire existing in the Demon God Territory, I could now effortlessly sweep aside several S-rank hunters single-handedly.
This was precisely why I had resolved to reveal my identity and begin my revenge in earnest.
After the regression that had become history, I lured these five fools like an innocent, unknowing person—just as I had been during my first visit to the underworld.
I ensured my building, established through donations and entrance fees on my own territory, would suffer no damage.
How long did it take to reach the Wasteland?
The small fries pursuing me believed that at this distance, no one would be watching, so they revealed themselves completely.
‘Should I test that skill once more?’
I glanced around and nodded. This was an excellent opportunity to test my full power.
“You’re Shin Ju-ha, right? Well, you match the photo perfectly, so it must be you.”
“Who are you? Why are you chasing me?”
At my question, they laughed absurdly as if I should have known, their ridicule dripping with contempt.
“We are servants of a great and supreme race. We are Guardians of Dragonic. Surely you understand why we’ve come here?”
“What nonsense? Explain so I can understand.”
“Tch! You dared to disrespect and attack that one?! We’ve come to repay that humiliation. Here in this place, you will…!”
“Wait, hold on. Let me think about this. I should have more than one or two enemies.”
I raised my hand to cut off his words and began to think. The conclusion came faster than expected.
“Ah! You’re those dragon lackeys? The fool who had an arm torn off by Belial?”
“How dare you insult that one! That one is a great and noble being blessed with the blessing of fire!”
“Still just a lizard.”
After becoming entangled with divine beings, dragons seemed far too insignificant. Even these lackeys—not dragons themselves—appearing before me in such numbers seemed utterly contemptible.
‘Do they have no sense?’
They’d already been defeated once by me, yet instead of coming for revenge themselves, they sent these lackeys?
I sighed at the absurdity. Well, it didn’t matter. I could simply enjoy myself.
“If you can’t escape, you might as well enjoy it. Right?”
“Kahahaha! A lowly Hunter dares speak such words! Yes, if you can’t escape, you might as well enjoy it! We need to relieve some stress from you!”
“Don’t kill him! Play with him as much as possible! We offer him to that one!”
Are these madmen? You shouldn’t be enjoying this. Yet here you are, supposedly high-rank Hunters, unable to even gauge your opponent’s strength.
Ah… forget it. Let me just do what I came to do.
In an instant, my eyes transformed, and as my mouth opened, a skill descended upon this land.
“Demon God Territory Descent.”
The domain of a Demon God began to blanket the desolate, empty earth. Pure and overwhelming demonic energy surged forth like madness, granting me infinite magical power.
But it didn’t stop there.
“Doctrine of Human Nature’s Depravity Blooms. Wings of Arrogance—Lucifer’s Fall. Equivalent Exchange.”
Every buff skill washed over me as my body began to transform. My skin darkened to obsidian, horns sprouted from my crown, and three pairs of magnificent black wings unfurled with terrible beauty.
The five Guardians’ pupils trembled at the sight. The toy they had dismissed as a fortunate fool—a mere plaything—was revealed to be a monster equal to or surpassing them in power.
“What is this?”
To their eyes, I appeared unmistakably as a Demon.
“A Demon? No, Ma-in could never be this complete. Could it be…? A Demon!?”
“Demon, my ass.”
Black demonic energy coalesced in my palm. The power was tyrannical, arrogant, and overwhelming.
“Not coming? Then I’ll make the first move.”
I took my stance, preparing the most devastating strike I could muster.
Strength of the Colossal—Hidden Effect
Giant Ant’s Titanic Strength
Another buff manifested, and my arm extended forward.
Celestial Demon Divine Art—Origin
Celestial Demon’s Three Fists
Heavenly Demon’s Calamity
The moment my fist surged forward, the sky turned black.
Those standing before me gasped in horror, hastily preparing their defense.
