Chapter 219. Shin Ju-ha VS Olympus
The moment I returned to Floor 66, I tensed my entire body and summoned my demonic energy to prepare for the enemies—
….
But I was bewildered to find that nothing had changed.
“What?”
Solomon had informed me that entities targeting me had forcibly infiltrated the Bottomless Pit. Yet how could nothing have changed?
My confusion was answered by Akasha, who had remained frozen like a broken machine until now.
〚The entity that has seized 51% of the Bottomless Pit’s dominion is the Concept Divine Seat: the Great Mother of Earth—true name: Gaia!〛
“Gaia?”
I furrowed my brow. I knew who she was. How could I not? She was the one who killed Uranus, who had possessed the concept of the sky that I now carry, and became a Concept Divine Seat.
More importantly, the question was how a Concept Divine Seat could exert such blatant influence over the 1st Dimension.
〚It is because the causal law has been fulfilled.〛
“Causal law? What do you mean by—? Ah!”
A message suddenly flashed through my mind. When I used Self-Amplification, I recalled a message stating that causal law would be granted to someone as a counterbalance.
And Akasha answered as if confirming that the thought now occurring to me was correct.
〚While not enough for a direct descent into the 1st Dimension, the causal law has been fulfilled sufficiently for this level of interference. Thus, Gaia has joined hands with nine of the twelve Divine Beings of Olympus and caused a distortion in the Bottomless Pit.〛
“What has changed?”
〚Nothing below Floor 100 has changed. From Floors 101 to 1,000, nine Divine Beings of Olympus have dominated the floors and altered the trials to kill you.〛
Floors 101-199: Hermes
Floors 201-299: Demeter
Floors 301-399: Ares
Floors 401-499: Artemis
Floors 501-599: Hephaestus
Floors 601-699: Athena
Floors 701-799: Apollo
Floors 801-899: Poseidon
Floors 901-999: Zeus
Nine Divine Kings and the Divine Seats and Apostles who follow them now control the Abyss.
I deepened my frown. The situation seemed far more dire than I had anticipated. And for good reason—my power was sealed, was it not?
If it weren’t, I could easily tear apart and slaughter these fractured gods.
“Are they also sealed?”
〚Yes. Since that is an absolute and immutable law of the Labyrinth, Gaia would need to expend all her causal law just to undo it, so the seal has been applied. However….〛
“However?”
〚It appears she could not prevent loosening the seal. Compared to your current state, even Hermes, who has become the ruler of the Floors in the 100s, is at least ten times stronger than you, Shin Ju-ha.〛
At those words, I let out a hollow laugh. Was I shocked? I was, indeed.
That they could only undo that much of the seal. This isn’t even at the level of coming to die.
“That much is easy.”
Of course, no matter how much I maximized my gains from now until Floor 99, the possibility of suddenly becoming five times stronger was low—no, nonexistent.
Only from the moment I use the coins I’ve gathered on Floor 100 to unseal the Celestial Killing Star does the story change.
〚Correct. By devouring the Apostles and Divine Seats that exist from Floor 101 onward using the power of the Celestial Killing Star, you will have more than enough to win.〛
“Merely suppressing them won’t be enough. I’ll simply devour them.”
That’s what 100% predation means—elevating the impossible into the realm of possibility.
Which is precisely why I had absolute faith that Celestial Slaughter would become the concept wielding the greatest latent potential and power.
Moreover, Celestial Slaughter’s strength isn’t confined to predation alone. The longer I fight, the stronger I become. Setting predation aside, the mere repetition of combat would cause my stats to skyrocket exponentially.
If I ascended without pause all the way to Floor 199…!
“I suspect my stats would surpass theirs as well.”
With that thought, I chuckled softly and shook my head, presenting yet another possibility.
“And while I can’t guarantee victory without predation, I certainly won’t suffer defeat either.”
If I were to reach Floor 199 without incident—and I’m being serious—my power would strengthen roughly three to four times over from its current state.
Even with a threefold difference remaining, I possess an ability that renders such disparities in raw power meaningless, do I not?
“With Qiankun Dayan, I won’t die at the very least.”
A 10-star skill—a supreme shield against which no spear dares pierce, its defense unassailable.
“If it can withstand even Longinus, then the mere power of a sealed Divine Seat is nothing.”
I can block it without difficulty. Furthermore, since Qiankun Dayan operates more as a technique than raw skill, it consumes minimal inner energy. The recovery far exceeds the consumption, meaning if I focus purely on defense, I can use it infinitely.
And now, if I blend the power of the beasts absorbed into Ars Theurgia Goetia—the key I’ve completely devoured—with Infinite Beast Technique, offense becomes viable as well.
It’s exponentially more difficult, but at the very least, I won’t fall pathetically.
“But why take the harder path when an easier one exists?”
The real question was whether I’d accumulated enough coins to unseal Celestial Slaughter’s power.
“I’ve gathered an absurd amount.”
〚It’s sufficient. No—it’s more than enough. You could unseal several more.〛
That would suffice. There are still floors remaining ahead.
I relaxed the tension I’d drawn into my body and turned my steps toward the shimmering transfer portal ahead.
“To Floor 100!”
Having already grown abnormally through two Hidden Stages, mere monsters below Floor 100 couldn’t possibly impede me. I began my ascent at high speed and reached Floor 100 in less than a week.
***
〚You have entered the 100th Floor Beginner’s Sanctuary!〛
〚This is a Rest Floor!〛
〚No Quests exist!〛
〚Hidden Quests are available!〛
“Hidden Quests?”
〚I have narrowed down several candidates. One of them will grant you an excellent ability upon acquisition, and the rest are also quite worthwhile.〛
“It’s not Solomon’s Legacy, is it?”
〚No, Solomon’s Legacy exists only in personal floors. In fact, it doesn’t open at all without other legacies. It doesn’t exist in places with so many players like this.〛
The Bottomless Pit’s popularity truly is remarkable. Then again, it makes sense—a place where you can start anew from the beginning, build strength, and acquire it all over again.
Moreover, since entry attempts are limited, people naturally push themselves to climb as far as possible without leaving.
I leisurely surveyed my surroundings. As expected of a rest floor, commercial facilities were well-developed, and I even spotted beings who had settled here permanently without boredom.
“Let’s head to the Coin Shop first.”
〚Guidance commencing.〛
The most urgent matter is breaking this cursed seal, even if only slightly. Once you’ve tasted omnipotence, you can’t forget it.
That overwhelming, magnificent power and the fragments of its grandeur. I felt like leaving the Bottomless Pit immediately.
If there was nothing to gain, I certainly would have. I exhaled a sigh and quickened my pace toward the tallest building on this 100th Floor.
〚Welcome to the Coin Shop!〛
〚Please select what you wish to purchase!〛
“Ability Seal Release.”
〚Ability Seal Release category has been set!〛
〚Confirming sealed abilities!〛
〚Converting the value of sacrifice required for release!〛
Before my eyes unfolded a feast of abilities, and the one at the very bottom was naturally…!
“The Golden Tower, huh?”
Not Concept: Sky. Well, the Golden Tower is certainly broken. It’s an ability that lets you do anything if you desire it.
Skills, weapons, consumable items—you can pull out and use whatever you want.
“Oh! It converts to coins?”
What’s surprising is that if I expend most of my coins, I can also unseal the Golden Tower. Of course, I have no intention of doing so.
I suddenly realized the sheer amount of coins I’ve accumulated. Well, it makes sense—these are coins obtained from slaughtering beasts that reached the Divine Seat tier.
“There’s no penalty for unsealing abilities like this.”
It’s essentially the same as receiving coins that could only be obtained above Floor 700 with every single kill. This is the ultimate form of inflation.
Without hesitation, I selected one of the abilities at the very bottom and paid the coins to release its seal.
〚Authority: Heavenly Slayer Star [13★] has been unsealed!〛
〚Authority: Heavenly Slayer Star

“Wow! This power is far more insane than I thought.”
When I was in the state of a Concept Divine Seat, my opponent was weak anyway and I hadn’t put my full effort into anything, so I couldn’t truly feel it. But seeing the abilities laid out objectively like this, the numbers written here are simply absurd.
Truly, befitting a 13-star ability—one capable of growth.
“If the recovery rate is 100 times, isn’t that practically immortality?”
I’d survive even if my head split open. On top of that, I could burn through magical energy endlessly and still have reserves left.
I closed the system window with satisfaction and surveyed the remaining coins and the abilities and items I could still unseal.
“What would be best?”
Among the items, Longinus certainly catches my eye, but now I no longer need to rely on this single window to defeat powerful enemies.
After deliberating for a while, I unsealed exactly two abilities that fit perfectly with my remaining coins.
〚Authority: Infinite Divine Vein (無極神脈)[12★] has been unsealed!〛
〚Authority: Tai Chi (太極)[12★] has been unsealed!〛
In an instant, my mind blazed with clarity and something shifted. A transformation of talent—the moment a talentless person became a genius of the century.
I gained a deeper understanding of the Qian-Kun Great Reversal technique, which I had only thought of as a defensive skill, and confirmed perfect compatibility with Tai Chi.
〚Skill: Qian-Kun Great Reversal harmonizes with Authority: Tai Chi!〛
“Just as I thought!”
My prediction was correct. The knowledge that existed in my mind was sealed away, but the sensation of executing Tai Chi with my body remained. Because of that, I realized that Tai Chi and Qian-Kun Great Reversal were of similar lineages.
Strictly speaking, Tai Chi was far superior in rank, but I couldn’t deny they were of the same lineage.
And the result was reflected immediately.
〚Authority: Tai Chi (太極)[13★]〛
Tai Chi had risen to the same rank as Heavenly Killing Star. Of course, Heavenly Killing Star, being a growth-type ability, was overwhelmingly superior, but this was sufficient.
“I’d like to learn Celestial Demon Divine Art too.”
Unfortunately, I’m out of coins. But that’s fine.
“This much is enough preparation.”
I was never afraid to begin with, but now the opponent seems far too easy. It’s time to begin the battle with Olympus.
