Chapter 220. Divine Seat: The Herald Who Soars Through Heaven
Floor 100. After collecting a few hidden pieces and taking a brief respite, I stood before the portal leading to Floor 101.
“Hmm.”
My opponent was a god. More specifically, one of the Twelve Chief Gods of Olympus—always counted among the top ten when naming the greatest divine realms.
Of course, no matter how magnificent the Twelve Chief Gods of Olympus were, they could not escape the rules of the Bottomless Pit that Solomon had established and defined.
“I wonder how it’s turned out?”
The pitch-black demonic energy of the Bottomless Pit. The radiant and beautiful divinity unique to the Divine Seat.
These two forces were bound to collide inevitably, and how much I could suppress that collision would be a crucial variable in the battle to come.
Even if Gaia had invested all of causality, it was impossible for her to interfere with the primordial demonic energy born from the motif of the apocalyptic power that Solomon possessed.
〚That is correct. The nine Chief Gods of Olympus and all their subordinate Divine Seats have fused the primordial demonic energy and their divinity through the concept of harmony that Gaia possesses.〛
“Is that good or bad?”
〚In some respects, it is good; in others, it is bad.〛
“What do you mean?”
〚The lower-tier Divine Seats who have not adapted to the fusion of primordial demonic energy and divinity—that is, their original magical power and demonic energy—have had their combat strength drastically weakened. The higher-tier Divine Seats, however, have had sufficient time to adapt, so their power has increased.〛
So in other words, the more they adapt, the stronger they become?
〚Yes. Furthermore, if they adapt and master it completely, they will be quite difficult to face.〛
“That makes sense. Controlling primordial demonic energy essentially means being able to use the power of a Bottomless Pit boss as well.”
Divine Seat power plus Bottomless Pit hierarchical power. In other words, it’s not quite 1+1, but more like 1+0.5.
〚Furthermore, once they fully master the hierarchical power, the penalties imposed by the Bottomless Pit will decrease dramatically. When facing the highest-tier Divine Seats, you should think of it as confronting them at full strength.〛
I clicked my tongue. But I wasn’t disappointed. Zeus and Gaia weren’t idiots, after all. They must have considered this situation and made such a bold move with full awareness.
“Then the role of the lower-tier Divine Seats is ultimately just one thing.”
〚Yes. They will do nothing but buy time. The physical forms here are likely either avatars or possessions.〛
Tsk.
I clicked my tongue without realizing it. Because it was disappointing.
But the next thing Akasha told me was enough to bring a wry smile to my face.
〚It is fine. Shin Ju-ha possesses the Heavenly Killing Star. A mere fake body cannot block the authority of the Heavenly Killing Star. The moment the soul is defeated and dies, everything of that existence will become Shin Ju-ha’s.〛
So if I win, I can steal all the power of their true form?
〚Of course, due to the constraints of the Bottomless Pit, what you can actually absorb will be at most the level of an avatar or possession. The rest will only be usable after the seals are released.〛
“Then that’s good. The seals will all be released anyway as I climb.”
〚Yes. And one more thing—if you kill the seven Divine King-tier Divine Seats, the final seal of the Golden Tower will be released.〛
My eyes widened. The seal would be released with just that much?
〚Your Achievements so far have been reflected, and the seal release conditions set by the Creator have automatically been lowered.〛
“So my Achievements have already fulfilled the conditions?”
〚You may understand it that way.〛
Suddenly, my motivation surged. The final ability of the Golden Tower—the Descent of The Entity itself.
Beyond consumables, artifacts, and abilities, the power to use all the abilities of a single existence.
It meant I could obtain everything that was created in my hands. In other words—
〚You would inherit everything of the Creator.〛
That’s right. Since proficiency would continue to accumulate even now, reaching level 10 wouldn’t be difficult once the seal was released.
Level 10 meant I had become the complete Successor of the Creator.
“Upon becoming a Concept Divine Seat, I am simultaneously the Successor to the Creator.”
〚Furthermore, Shin Ju-ha will be liberated from the world’s constraints as the Creator’s Successor.〛
“The world’s constraints?”
〚Concept Divine Seats must remain within the 2nd Dimension. Violating the laws of causality will bring backlash. The immutable laws that govern all things are absolute. Such are the constraints.〛
I nodded and steadied my breathing, forcibly suppressing my excitement.
Then it was time to depart for the battle to achieve all of this. I created one additional Myriad Demon Sword and grasped one in each hand before hurling myself through the portal.
In an instant, my vision transformed.
***
〚You have entered Floor 101!〛
〚A transformation has occurred in this section!〛
〚Floors 101-199. Transformation: The Coming and Going of Wealth〛
The message that appeared the moment I arrived at Floor 101 was an indicator from Hermes revealing how the Floor 100 tier had changed.
〚The Coming and Going of Wealth. It means money flows in and out. Essentially, it suggests that anything can be accomplished with money.〛
Hermes is the messenger god who spreads all of Zeus’s words far and wide, but his true identity is the god of merchants and deception.
Particularly in the domain of deception, Hermes is an exceptionally masterful being—he demonstrated the prowess to steal divine treasures before even a full day of existence had passed.
Because of this, he should have remained a demigod with merely the bloodline of a lowly lesser fairy, yet through his distinctive cunning and abilities, he ascended to a position rivaling the King of Gods.
〚Bottomless Pit—Floors 101-110
Rank: ??
Difficulty: ??
Objective: ??
Time Limit: ??
Success: ??
Failure: ??〛
Behold—his trickery had already begun. I clicked my tongue at the mission window obscured entirely by question marks.
Hermes’s power. A force specialized in deceiving others.
I gazed at the mission window for a moment before shifting my gaze to survey the landscape of Floor 101. Across the boundless expanse, countless monsters existed.
And interspersed among them, fairies had set up stalls and were soliciting customers as if they were merchants themselves.
The players who had entered were laughing at the transformed Bottomless Pit, pleased with the changes, and were patronizing the merchants.
I let out a hollow laugh and redirected my gaze back to the mission window.
“Akasha.”
A being whom deception cannot touch. An existence that records and predicts all things in this world. Born from the fusion of a fragment of apocalypse and the Creator’s power—a being theoretically responsible for omniscience.
No matter how adept Hermes’s power is at deception and trickery, before an omniscient being, it amounts to nothing more than a tedious performance that would induce a yawn.
〚Bottomless Pit—Floors 101-110
Rank: 6★
Difficulty: Minimal
Objective: Eliminate Apollo’s Solar Demon Cattle (0/99)
Hidden Objective: Eliminate the Pasture Master—Guardian of the Sun (0/1)
Hidden Objective: Acquire 999,999 Solar Coins (0/999,999)
Hidden Objective: Eliminate the Deceptive Fairies (0/111)
Time Limit: 144 hours
On success: The Merchant becomes available for purchase at all times, so there is no additional reward.
On failure: Death or forced expulsion.
I burst into laughter and examined the third hidden mission.
The Trickster Fairy. In other words, those creatures who had become so absorbed in playing the role of that Merchant, displaying trading skills that rivaled the real thing, were all engaged in fraud.
70% of the items are fakes that disappear upon exiting the Bottomless Pit.
“Hoh! So 30% are genuine?”
Yes, there is a saying that true deception should contain 90% lies and 10% truth, is there not?
“Should I praise you for containing 30% truth?”
I chuckled softly and gripped two Omniscient Demon Blades in my hands.
“First, ten floors have been connected into one, which is why it’s so expansive.”
An excellent opportunity to traverse ten floors at once. If the rest are like this, it would be ideal.
“A chance to devour divine power.”
I lowered one Omniscient Demon Blade whose identity had been fixed, and as I whispered toward the newly created sword, I moved my body.
In an instant, the earth folded and space was transcended. With the talent to understand everything about the Void, combined with a higher-dimensional Void like the Tai Chi, techniques of spatial folding became easily executable.
Of course, techniques like spatial folding are the ultimate movement arts. But having already surpassed that realm and existing far beyond it, such techniques were hardly difficult for me.
Simultaneously, I raised my blade and severed a sun-beast mixed with black and white—like the Black Sun I had once wielded—in a single stroke.
Other adventurers on Floor 101 would need at least ten people working together just to attempt combat, but having consumed all the hidden pieces and even performed predation, it was hardly a difficult task for me.
I already possessed power equivalent to surpassing the 200s floors.
“First, I’ll handle the coin hidden mission.”
Then with those coins, I’ll monopolize all 30% of the genuine items, and then exterminate the fairy.
And finally, I’ll kill the rancher—the true master of these ten floors who’s hiding somewhere, watching this entire situation with glee.
Far too easy. I watched the sun-beast turn into coins and vanish as the massive corpse collapsed, feeling the gazes converging from my surroundings.
A creature with a broom-like tail influenced by Hermes’ mythology and the primordial magic of the Bottomless Pit, its wooden-wrapped hooves distinctly visible.
One hundred coins dropped where the creature fell.
“Insane!”
“What is that thing?”
“How many seals has he broken?”
“Is he an idiot who spent all his coins on stat seals?”
“No way. Would anyone be foolish enough not to know that breaking only stat seals gets you killed in the Bottomless Pit?”
I moved to a different location, hearing whispers from all around.
“Tch, how bothersome.”
From the moment I entered Floor 100, the Rest Floor, the Bottomless Pit becomes singular.
In truth, Floors 0-99 were merely separated tutorial floors, and the true Bottomless Pit is a shared labyrinth where all players can enter simultaneously.
That’s precisely why it was so troublesome. I planned to kill the fairy and seal off these massive ten floors.
Naturally, if that happens, the benefits these people currently enjoy will vanish, and they’ll return to the barren, stingy Bottomless Pit.
Resistance is inevitable. This floor was probably designed with such contingencies in mind.
“Even if items purchased outside disappear, they’ve probably devised some countermeasure.”
For instance, magic that makes people forget the existence of what they bought.
I could sense the intent to restrain me as much as possible in this manner. Which made it all the more pathetic.
“Flies gathered together are still just flies.”
Before my flames, they are nothing but foolish moths hurling themselves into the inferno. There is no one capable of stopping me.
If you wish to live, it would be wise not to stand against me. To instill such understanding.
“I must demonstrate overwhelming power.”
I gripped both blades firmly and began my slaughter. It wasn’t long before every player occupying Floors 101-110 was fleeing from my gaze, desperately seeking escape.
