Chapter 194. Divine Seat: The Most Arrogant Sky
As the colossal and distant presence vanishes, everything that had frozen begins to move once more.
Simultaneously, countless gazes turn toward me. Their eyes brim with myriad emotions, yet one sentiment cuts through with crystalline clarity—astonishment.
Messages from numerous Divine Seats flood the display.
〚Divine Seat: The Demon King of the 46th Seat regards you.〛
〚Divine Seat: The Demon King of the 5th Seat regards you.〛
〚Divine Seat: The Demon King of the 27th Seat regards you.〛
〚Divine Seat: The Demon King of the 11th Seat regards you.〛
.
.
.
.
.
〚Divine Seat: The Demon King of the 1st Seat regards you.〛
〚Among the 72 Seats of the Divine Realms and Dark Magic Realm, a total of 66 Demon Kings currently seated regard you with eyes of shock and disbelief.〛
These were the first to perceive my existence—those who already knew I had inherited Solomon’s legacy. The Demon Kings of the Dark Magic Realm.
Next came those who harbored the deepest interest in Lucifer’s power.
〚Divine Seat: The Evil God of Wrath from the Seven Sins regards you.〛
〚Divine Seat: The Evil God of Sloth from the Seven Sins regards you.〛
〚Divine Seat: The Evil God of Lust from the Seven Sins regards you.〛
〚Divine Seat: The Evil God of Gluttony from the Seven Sins regards you.〛
〚Divine Seat: The Evil God of Envy from the Seven Sins regards you.〛
〚Divine Seat: The Evil God of Greed from the Seven Sins regards you.〛
〚The six Evil Gods of the Divine Realms and Demon World acknowledge and congratulate the birth of a new Evil God, welcoming you!〛
The Evil Gods bearing the power of the Seven Sins realized they had no choice but to acknowledge me, and though reluctant, they greeted me with that recognition.
Next came the concept I had acquired—no longer half-formed, now complete though unstable given its magnitude relative to my current rank and power. The concept of Sky itself.
The Divine Realms to which Uranus, the original owner and archetype of that concept, belonged, sends me a message.
〚Divine Seat: The 12th Pillar of Olympus observes you.〛
〚Divine Seat: The 11th Pillar of Olympus observes you.〛
〚Divine Seat: The 10th Pillar of Olympus observes you.〛
.
.
.
.
〚Divine Seat: The 1st Pillar of Olympus observes you.〛
〚Divine Realms: The 12 Pillars of Olympus observe you, remain vigilant, and seek an opening!〛
Olympus. One of the most formidable forces even within the Abyss had begun targeting me. I could guess the reason well enough.
The concept of Sky. They would covet it, naturally. It had once been theirs, after all.
I cannot fathom what this concept means to Olympus or what power it grants them, but one thing became abundantly clear.
Their gaze carries no benevolence whatsoever.
【How audacious. You dare believe that a mere insect like yourself can wield such power?】
The heavens respond to the voice’s emotion—thunder and lightning crash down, and overwhelming pressure descends upon me.
“Zeus.”
〚Divine Seat: The lightning that rules the heavens looks down upon you with arrogant disdain and fury!〛
I feel the gaze. Pressure crushes my entire body. The wrath of divinity takes form and pours down upon me.
Yet….
“You’re treating me like a fool.”
The moment I faced that power, I understood. Zeus possesses two forces, two modifiers: the heavens and lightning. Both are ultimately subordinate powers born from the embrace of the sky itself.
It’s no coincidence that Uranus possessed the talent to become a Concept Divine Seat.
My concept of the heavens responds. The descending bolts are absorbed directly into me—as though they had always been mine from the beginning.
Overwhelming compatibility. We were never evenly matched to begin with. Had I not fully inherited Pride and remained a half-baked Divine Seat, I couldn’t have blocked this so effortlessly.
At best, I would have merely reduced the damage. But the moment I gained the power to become a true Divine Seat, derived powers are nothing more than derived powers.
An avatar can never surpass its original. A counterfeit can never be more perfect than the genuine article. A fragment can never be greater than the whole.
The wrath of the heavens and lightning ended in futility. Of course, if I were to truly face Zeus himself, I couldn’t block his attacks so easily.
Even with the advantage in compatibility, my power objectively falls short of being called supreme among Divine Seats.
Barely enough to achieve harmony with my concept. I’ve only just barely reached the pinnacle of the highest divinity. Naturally, this alone is an extraordinary achievement.
At minimum, more than fifty of the sixty-six Demon Kings in the Dark Magic Realm would be weaker than me, and I’m stronger than three or four of the Twelve Pillars of Olympus.
【What?!】
But the fact that he blocked his own wrath and attack so dismissively with such caliber and power—that’s a problem.
“This is my power now.”
It’s the truth. This concept—the heavens—has grown far vaster than Uranus’s sky. Of course, Uranus’s essence is contained within it, but the other two forces are mixed in considerably as well.
The heavens at thirty percent, Pride at thirty percent, Solomon’s power at roughly forty percent.
“You think you can casually consume the power I suffered through hell to obtain? That won’t happen. You, holding merely a speck of a fragment—you’re being far too greedy. If you’re determined to oppose me, then wait. I’ll come to reclaim even that fragment you possess.”
If you wish to be my enemy, then so be it. I have nothing to fear. Given just a little more time, I will grow exponentially stronger.
The heavens tremble. Lightning strikes from all directions, threatening me. Yet that lightning and those heavens never touch me.
【How insolent. We shall meet in the Abyss!】
In the end, it was Zeus and the Divine Seats of Olympus who left in frustration. Let me correct that.
〚Divine Seat: The Fifth Pillar of Olympus apologizes quietly and departs!〛
〚Divine Seat: The Twelfth Pillar of Olympus suggests having a drink together later to become closer, and quietly sponsors one of his wines before leaving!〛
〚Divine Seat: The Third Pillar of Olympus apologizes for his brother’s rudeness and says that if you visit his sea later, you should share stories, speaking with dignity before vanishing!〛
.
.
.
It seems Zeus doesn’t receive much trust from his own Divine Seats. Or is it not a matter of trust?
What’s certain is that seven of the twelve Divine Seats—more than half—extended their hands to me from behind, suggesting we become closer, before disappearing.
‘Thank goodness.’
For all my bold words, the truth is that I, having only just become a supreme divinity, cannot possibly stand against an entire Divine Realm.
Especially not one that wields such tremendous influence even within the Abyss itself.
If Olympus moves and pressures other Divine Realms into war, in the worst case, I might end up like Lucifer.
“Well, that’s settled then.”
The fourth and final group. My concept: though it has no connection whatsoever to the heavens, messages pour in from those who gathered to witness the birth of a new Concept Divine Seat candidate.
“Huh?”
Among them, only two Divine Seats catch my eye. I’m not sure why Heracles is here sending congratulations rather than with Olympus, which just vanished.
〚Divine Seat: The colossal slayer of demigods celebrates your growth!〛
And then came the message from Ra, who bestowed upon me the power of the sun—power that served as the very foundation of my growth.
〚Divine Seat: The radiant order of light blesses your wholeness!〛
〚Divine Seat: The radiant order of light gifts you with Item: Divine Realms—Memphis Invitation!〛
It seemed as though Ra had created a new world and begun his reign anew as a divine king, transferring his authority to me and discarding even the epithets he once possessed, obtaining new ones instead.
Though he surrendered his authority, the essence of the sun remained unchanged—I could see he still bore the epithet of light, so he must have done well.
‘If I’m being honest, wouldn’t I be stronger than Ra now?’
Ra is a Creator. Of course, the Creator I speak of is one from the two-dimensional realm. The being dormant within my authority could be called a Creator of the four-dimensional realm.
Despite possessing such tremendous power, he was robbed of most of his strength by his two most beloved creations, and weakened further by surrendering even what remained to me.
He was left with only a single source from which to recover. Of course, as long as his rank remained, recovery would be swift.
But he was still incomplete. He would surely be similar to me or weaker.
Thinking it over this way, the invitation didn’t feel quite so heavy.
“Thank you.”
After that, countless messages from Divine Seats poured in. Most were from those curious about the new Concept Divine Seat candidate who came to investigate.
In truth, calling it a “candidate” is even misleading. Since I already possess the power of a concept, it’s more accurate to call me a Concept Divine Seat.
The problem is that my power is unstable, preventing me from achieving complete manifestation. After being a half-baked supreme deity, now I’m a half-baked Concept Divine Seat. When will I ever become perfect?
I couldn’t read all the messages. They continued accumulating even as I read.
〚Shin Ju-ha. You must strengthen Earth’s defenses further. For now, the System’s power holds back the enemies. But the moment you enter the Abyss and arrive at the Abyss Realm, the System’s protection ends. When that happens.〛
“So all sorts of things will pour into Earth?”
〚Incorrect. Earth itself becomes part of the Abyss. Have you heard that the Abyss is infinite?〛
“Yeah. I call it an infinite expanse of land.”
〚That is correct. Within the vast cosmic origin created by the Creator, countless planets are continuously being born without respite. Yet they never perish.〛
“They’re all absorbed into the Abyss?”
〚Correct.〛
“Even so, isn’t it far too vast?”
〚Of course. The Abyss is infinite precisely because it contains everything from all previous cycles and returns.〛
It felt like I’d just learned another tremendous secret. I scratched my ear and asked again.
“The Abyss is connected to the cycle of return?”
〚Yes. The Abyss was also one of the methods chosen by the Creator. When a cosmic-origin-level return occurs, the Abyss carries forward some of what it held in the previous cycle. Why do you think new items and skills are discovered in the Abyss? They are all byproducts of previous cycles.〛
I see. So that’s how it was.
〚Each cycle moves in different directions. New knowledge and objects are born infinitely. These novelties remain in the Abyss and are inherited. This is how the cosmic origin develops.〛
“What about the Golden Tower?”
〚If the Abyss carries forward some of what exists and returns, then the Golden Tower records all information from one cycle through me, returns, and is then created and brought forth by the Creator’s power.〛
“What exactly is that person trying to do? The Creator, I mean.”
Excuse me. Knock, knock. May I ask you something?
I directed my question toward the consciousness of the authority dwelling within me, but as expected, I received no answer.
Still, the fact that it doesn’t interfere even when I ask for more detailed information suggests I’ve gained the authority to access at least that level of knowledge.
“True enough, I don’t really need skills, unique abilities, or runes anymore.”
〚Since you can use all abilities up to the Legendary tier.〛
That’s right. I can simply utilize the Golden Tower Floor 3.
“It’s a shame I don’t have Authority.”
〚You do have it. It unlocks at LV 4. Once you reach max level LV 5—that is, 100% proficiency—you’ll be able to use the power of Concepts.〛
None of that matters. The Golden Tower is supreme.
“Then how do I ascend to LV 4?”
〚…〛
Akasha maintained her silence for a moment, drawing out the time, before finally speaking.
〚…I’ve been granted permission. The hint to ascending to LV 4 is The Entity. What dwells in the Abyss 4th Floor is the record of The Entity from previous cycles—a treasury of power containing the records of all existence, from the infinitesimal to the great Concept Divine Seats, allowing you to wield the strength of every being that has ever existed.〛
