Chapter 212. The Bottomless Pit (5)
〚Demon King: Borrowing the Authority of Kamighin, the Evil Horse Bearing the Forbidden Reversal of Heaven.〛
〚The level of the borrowed ability cannot exceed the level of Ars Goetia.〛
〚A vicious death aura permeates, infused with demonic energy!〛
〚The blessing of Reversal of Heaven descends upon the corpses!〛
On the sixteenth floor, the Red Wolves I had slain began to stir as the aura spreading from my body consumed them.
Flesh fell away, eyes burst from their sockets, and their once-living bodies rapidly decomposed until only bone remained. From their eye sockets blazed a crimson spectral flame, and their skeletal frames wailed as an immense death aura took root within them.
At first glance, it appeared to be a formidable power, but I regarded it without much interest before promptly canceling the ability.
The monsters crumbled instantly. I left those undead abominations—resurrected only to fall once more into death—behind me and moved toward the next floor, clicking my tongue in dismissal.
“Compared to the Lord of Demons’ authority, it’s garbage.”
Of course, the authority’s low level was part of it. But if the Lord of Demons enslaves souls, grants them new flesh and evolution, and bestows power, then Kamighin’s strength was merely a downgrade.
Even at the same level, the performance gap was this stark—why bother using this power at all?
I wasn’t even using the Lord of Demons’ authority right now, so there was no reason to lead undead around with necromancy.
“The conditions are too pathetic to bother with.”
With that thought, I sought out other Demon Kings and underwent their trials, gradually ascending the Bottomless Pit by testing the powers of various Demon Kings.
***
In the 2nd Dimension—otherwise known as the realm of Concept Divine Seats—waves of emerald light erupted from one corner, madly venting emotions and generating tremendous waves of energy.
【Hurry! Bring me that power! My grandson!】
Even now, Gaia carefully rationed the causality she had obtained in exchange, using it sparingly to exert influence over the Lower Realm.
Why Gaia? If you ask, I can answer thus:
Among the Concept Divine Seats, only Gaia possessed the temperament to obstruct Shin Ju-ha’s path forward.
Fundamentally, most Concept Divine Seats held little interest in the 1st Dimension. Through their apotheosis, such ties to the Mortal World and emotions had largely withered away.
But Gaia was different. While most Concept Divine Seats had grown so powerful that they harbored little attachment to further advancement, she alone did not.
She had slain her husband to devour his divinity, sacrificed the Divine Realms she herself had created to ascend above the Concept Divine Seats—a Divine Seat whose greed burned with insatiable fury.
Even as a Concept Divine Seat, Gaia’s avarice did not cease. Higher peaks, greater status, mightier power, more resounding acclaim!
More, more, more, more!
She had fixed her gaze upon a realm no being dared approach, yearning to touch that pinnacle as a created being.
The Creator—the being spoken of in legend who birthed all things in this universe and vanished. The supreme existence at the apex of this cosmos. A being in whose gesture life springs forth, in whose breath worlds are born, in whose words dimensions are created.
Her ambition had become nothing less than claiming the seat of the Creator.
Because birth and life bore intimate connection to her essence, she believed all the more in her own abilities and saw possibility, thus dedicating herself to this pursuit.
A created being dreaming the impossible. Since the Creator had vanished, no force could obstruct her. Even the System ignored such foolish, arrogant obsession.
After all, it was an impossible endeavor.
No matter how thoroughly the Creator had disappeared, the probability of a mere Concept Divine Seat—and one with potential dwarfed compared to her peers—inheriting that seat was precisely zero percent.
Moreover, the Successor had already been determined, in effect. Had Gaia obtained the Authority: Golden Tower, she might have become the Successor herself.
But she had obsessed for eons solely with cultivating her own status and creative power. In the end, that authority fell into Shin Ju-ha’s hands.
A pathetic figure stretching her hand toward an unreachable sky, jumping endlessly.
Thus, Gaia’s desire and greed twisted and transformed into obsession and arrogance, and as a Concept Divine Seat, she could only chafe against the constraints of her current state.
Because causality perceived Gaia’s nature, it granted her the causality to break free from her bonds.
This was something even the System could not prevent. It was a consequence Shin Ju-ha had created.
Normally, when approaching the 1st Dimension in such a manner, the System would employ message bombardment or dimensional isolation to prevent the Mortal World from warping and collapsing under the status and power of a Concept Divine Seat. But this time, even the System was powerless.
And Gaia had no intention of squandering this opportunity carelessly.
A being whose every action spawned causality so absurd it could grant causality to herself. Moreover, a being who commanded the undivided attention of countless Concept Divine Seats that transcended the Mortal World.
Shin Ju-ha. She had observed that existence and come to understand. Possibility—he held possibility in his grasp.
The potential to become a Creator God! The realization that he possessed such potential!
Paradoxically, precisely because she was the most greedy and obsessive, she had discovered the Creator God’s legacy that even the Concept Divine Seats themselves had failed to properly recognize until it was revealed.
【How dare a mere insect of the 1st Dimension!】
At first, she was consumed by rage. Why had that worm—once more insignificant than the vermin that once crawled everywhere, certainly not a great Concept Divine Seat who cultivated and advanced like herself—obtained the legacy of the great Creator God?
Why not herself! If it had been entrusted to her, she could have wielded that power far more greatly, far more perfectly!
Next came greed. She wanted nothing more than to tear open that existence’s flesh, extract its soul, and covet the Creator’s power contained within.
She had already obtained causality as well—there was nothing a great being like herself could not accomplish.
She moved immediately. To kill Shin Ju-ha and seize that power. She did not know how she had summoned her future self—herself as a Concept Divine Seat—but such measures fell far short of defeating Gaia, who had accumulated power over hundreds of millions of years.
No matter how unconventionally she had ascended to Concept Divine Seat status, and though her talents were meager compared to other Concept Divine Seats with incomprehensible abilities, hundreds of millions of years were more than sufficient to accumulate considerable power.
It meant the gap was so vast that combat itself could not be established. That also meant her long-cherished desire would soon be fulfilled.
The causality granted to her was potent enough to kill even a Divine King without difficulty.
Yet her attempt ended before it even began.
【Impossible. Greedy earth, consumed by avarice.】
Crash!
The energy wave she had unleashed shattered into fragments and dissipated at a single word. The overwhelming pressure she had radiated dared not confront its opponent and instead cowered, holding its breath. For the first time, the greed and desire that had consumed her fell silent.
In their place came fear of death, and terror.
It could not be otherwise. Though she had become a Concept Divine Seat of the 2nd Dimension in what could be called the second generation, an extremely long time ago, her opponent was an even older existence.
First generation. Not the 0th generation who created the 2nd Dimension alongside the Creator God, but he was a being even greater than the 0th generation.
The supreme Concept Divine Seat of the 2nd Dimension. A mutant. An incomprehensible existence. An irregular uniquely capable of wielding the power of creation.
Concept Divine Seat: The Incomprehensible Demon—Solomon. Commonly known in the Lower Realm as the Demon King Solomon, the strongest being among all creation now revealed his power.
【I cannot permit direct harm to come to my Successor.】
He moved to protect his Successor, who had consumed his shell, obtained his ring, and mastered the demonic arts he had created long ago.
She could not refuse. Several Concept Divine Seats who had not abandoned their lingering attachments to the Mortal World—those who had learned of her ability to affect the Lower Realm through causality and had lent her power in exchange for compensation—instantly fled from her and retreated to their own domains.
In this 2nd Dimension, there existed no being who could dare stand against Solomon. If one were to search for beings capable of matching him, one would find only that mutant ape from the 1st Dimension who had not yet ascended to the 2nd Dimension, and perhaps a handful of 0th generation Concept Divine Seats who had stood alongside the Creator God.
For reference, Ouroboros was precisely a 0th generation Concept Divine Seat.
【Why do you obstruct my path!】
【Insignificant and foolish earth. Know your place, feel your limits. Before you are completely consumed by impossible greed. Close your ears to that whisper of evil and blind your eyes.】
【No matter who you are, you cannot interfere with what causality has permitted me to do!】
Gaia’s eyes had lost all reason. The power and status she so desperately desired lay right before her eyes. She could obtain them with merely a gesture. Yet she could not do it.
It was enough to make her blood boil. Of course, as a matter of course, Gaia’s reasoning was flawed.
A great and supreme Creator God would never leave behind a legacy that could be so easily stolen, and even if it were stolen, it would certainly be impossible to use.
No, before that, the Creator would have reversed time across this entire universe and begun the next cycle.
From the moment the Authority: Golden Tower was discovered, Shin Ju-ha was already as good as the next Creator God.
A test of succession? Or some trivial matter like Solomon giving his Successor trials to confirm whether they could replace his position? No.
It was simply that from the beginning, the power and status of a Creator God could not be poured into the body of a human whose species had such notably low expectations. Thus, troublesome though it was, it was a process of slowly becoming accustomed to that power and cultivating the necessary stature.
Late blooming. The process of creating a great vessel. Shin Ju-ha’s ascension to Creator God was a confirmed future.
And thus, he was the existence destined to grant an end to this infinitely repeating world. The being who would know all truths and orchestrate them.
In truth, it meant that Gaia had never been given a chance to begin with.
【I will not permit it. If you insist on trying.】
As Solomon extended his hand, an aura far thicker, more perfect, and more supreme than the primordial magic descended upon Gaia’s domain.
It happened in an instant. That vast territory was completely consumed by Solomon’s power.
【What are you doing!】
Leaving Gaia’s anguished cry behind, Solomon turned his body. He spoke his final words as he did.
【What I forbid is direct intervention. Anything else, I will not stop. The affairs of the 1st Dimension must be left to the 1st Dimension. Should you break this rule, I will strip away everything you possess.】
This was the reason why Gaia had to reach out once more to Olympus—the very tool she had used and discarded.
And so Gaia joined hands with Zeus.
【The Bottomless Pit. Use my power there. Within that place, I shall obtain the power of creation, and you shall inherit the power of Uranus. Together, we will land a blow against that cursed Solomon.】
Watching Shin Ju-ha enter the Bottomless Pit at that very moment, she gritted her teeth and began preparing her revenge.
