Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 190
190. The Second Festival of Apostles
Right after dealing with the administrator named Ditrit.
I placed my hand on the spot where he had vanished.
[You have absorbed Terra ‘33,592’.]
《Terra : 187,483》
【Stats】
●Strength : 201,987 / Penetration : 201,987
●Endurance : 201,987 / Agility : 201,987
●Vitality : 201,987 / Mana : 201,987
●Regeneration : 201,987 / Resistance : 201,987
●Dark Magic : 201,987 / White Magic Power : 201,987
All stats had exceeded 200,000.
It was less Terra than Abysalon or Beriak, but it was quite useful.
‘With nothing left to extract from the Three Gods, 30,000 Terra is an enormous gain.’
Ditrit’s soul had completely vanished.
Another administrator had disappeared.
Administrators were no longer frightening.
‘The problem is how to lure them out.’
Originally, I hadn’t planned to kill Ditrit.
I was going to persuade him with the acting coordination I had with Hasaksios to bring more administrators.
But I ended up killing Ditrit.
‘He tried to kill me, so I had no choice.’
Given this situation, I’m abandoning the original plan.
“Hasaksios. Change of plans.”
[Huh?]
“I’ll handle the administrators myself.”
[What are you planning to do? You can’t reach where the administrators are.]
Hasaksios expressed concern, but I answered calmly.
“There’s a way.”
[What way in this situation? It would be better to go back now and lure the administrators again…]
“Would that work? They’ll immediately start looking for where Ditrit went.”
[Ugh…]
“Further luring tactics are difficult. The operation has failed.”
[Wh, what if the other administrators ask about Ditrit’s whereabouts? What do we do then?]
“Just pretend you don’t know and play dumb.”
[But then they’ll be suspicious…]
“It’s a better choice than telling the truth. Do you think the administrators will leave you alone if they learn the truth?”
[…]
“For now, staying quiet is the best strategy.”
If we clumsily attempt another luring operation, things will only get worse.
It’s better to just end the operation here.
[What are you going to do now?]
“I have to do what I need to do.”
[What you need to do?]
Postponing my answer, I returned to Earth.
The promised time had arrived.
[Currently, large crowds are gathering at Central Park! All to attend the festival hosted by Amon!]
[Just yesterday, after preventing the monster invasion of Earth, people’s interest in Amon is reaching the sky!]
[Central Park is packed with citizens and Apostles who have gathered to see Amon, the hero who saved Earth!]
The crowd gathered at New York’s Central Park numbered in the tens of thousands.
Major world leaders had also attended to see Amon.
They hoped to hear an explanation about the recent Earth invasion.
‘Quite a turnout.’
I was walking through the air with my Dimensional Walking Boots, looking down at the people.
At a glance, there were more than last time.
‘Perfect for Skill Copy, isn’t it?’
With Parasite enhanced to level 10 and upgraded to SSS-rank, I could now implant 46 additional parasitic organisms.
When I implant a parasitic organism, I’m recognized as being close to the target, which allows me to use Skill Copy as well.
‘And all the copied skills will be used as materials for Skill Fusion.’
Since I planned to consume them as materials later anyway, I could copy any skills.
[You have copied the skill ‘Water Bomb’.]
[You have copied the skill ‘Raging Tsunami’.]
[You have copied the skill ‘Piercing Shot’.]
[You have copied the skill ‘Soul Burn’.]
…
…
…
After completing the copying of 46 skills.
I slowly descended and revealed myself.
“Look over there!”
“It’s Amon!”
“Amon! Amon!”
With everyone’s attention focused on me, my mana-infused voice echoed throughout the park.
“Thank you all for gathering like this. I came here partly to greet you, but also to talk about what happened recently.”
This wasn’t just a simple greeting.
It was time to reveal the truth.
“Earth was recently attacked. This wasn’t a coincidence. It was a planned invasion. Who did it, you ask? It was beings called Administrators.”
People began murmuring.
This was the first time they were hearing this story.
“Administrators are beings with advanced souls who supervise the Labyrinth – you could say they’re like gods. What do they do, you ask?”
After pausing for a moment, I spoke.
“They prevent us from conquering the Labyrinth. Like a hamster running on a wheel, the Administrators’ goal is to make the Labyrinth continue forever.”
“They want to… continue the Labyrinth?”
“This… forever?”
“That, that can’t be!”
People were shocked.
But some didn’t understand.
“Why would the Administrators want to continue the Labyrinth?”
“Because every time we conquer floors of the Labyrinth, energy is transmitted to the Administrators.”
“Energy?”
“Yes. It’s an energy called Divine Force, and by collecting it, the Administrators can become gods. They use us for that purpose. In other words, the Labyrinth is a mining site for obtaining energy, and we were unknowingly workers offering up that energy.”
It was a shocking story.
But there were many questions.
“I understand that, but why did the Administrators try to invade Earth?”
“Right. If we’re workers, there’s no reason to kill us.”
“That’s all because of me.”
I calmly told the truth.
“The Administrators don’t want the Labyrinth to be completely conquered. They want the Apostles to conquer moderately and die while continuously providing Divine Force. But then there’s a human conquering at an overwhelming speed?”
I nodded my head.
“Of course they’d want to kill me. Not long ago, they even moved directly to try to assassinate me.”
“You, you met the Administrators?”
“I didn’t just meet them. I killed several of them.”
People looked stunned at the mention of killing Administrators, who were divine beings.
To be stronger than the Administrators who manage the Labyrinth.
It was truly beyond imagination.
“The invasion of Earth was retaliation for that. It was something the Administrators plotted to threaten me. If I hadn’t known the information in advance and prepared, it would have been a real disaster.”
People’s expressions twisted.
Anger welled up at the fact that they had almost died innocently.
“Those Administrator bastards…!”
“They put us through all this for their energy, and now they even try to kill us?”
“Unforgivable!”
Cries of anger erupted.
I raised my hand as if to calm their emotions.
“Calm down. There’s no need to be angry.”
“But…!”
“I’m fighting the Administrators. I’ll deal with all of them.”
My voice carried power.
“And I’ll end the Labyrinth too. Completely.”
“Really?”
“You can… end the Labyrinth?”
“Of course. That’s exactly why I’m standing here.”
I declared.
“From now on, I plan to break through to the 666th Floor without rest. I’ll completely conquer the Labyrinth and destroy the Administrators’ plan.”
“What happens when you clear up to the 666th Floor?”
“I don’t know either. I can’t tell what results will follow after clearing it. I’ve never done it before.”
It was the truth.
Even before my regression, I had never achieved a complete Labyrinth clear.
“But at least I can stop the Administrators’ plan. Whatever the outcome, I’ll put an end to this damn system.”
Central Park fell silent.
A stillness so deep that even breathing couldn’t be heard.
Then someone shouted.
“Amon! Amon!”
That cry became the spark.
“Amon! Amon! Amon!”
Tens of thousands chanted my name in unison.
Cheers and applause poured forth.
I bowed my head toward them.
‘Now it’s time to finish the clear.’
After the festival ended.
I immediately entered the Labyrinth.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 650.]
《Type: Collection》
《Condition: Within 5 hours time limit》
《Mission: Collect 5 SS-Grade Magic Stones.》
[You cannot exit until the mission is cleared.]
The final collection mission continuing to the 659th floor.
No mission could block my path now.
It would just take time.
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 650!]
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 651!]
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 652!]
…
…
…
[You have cleared Labyrinth Underground Floor 659!]
I ran without rest.
Having cleared them once before, I completed them much more easily.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 660.]
《Type: Survival》
《Condition: Within 12 hours time limit》
《Mission: Block all incoming enemies.》
[You cannot exit until the mission is cleared.]
From the 660th floor, it was a survival mission.
I had to block the endless waves of enemies for 12 hours.
Even before my regression, this section was quite challenging.
‘But now it’s as easy as breathing.’
It wasn’t an empty boast.
When I used the King’s Army skill, tens of thousands of soldiers appeared.
“Kill them all.”
The rushing monsters and soldiers clashed.
Slash!
Slice!
“Screech!”
“Screeeeech!”
Monster blood and corpses scattered everywhere.
Thanks to my mana stat exceeding 200,000, the soldiers’ level was absurd.
Each one could easily handle 100 monsters, showing just how overwhelming they were.
All I had to do was endure these boring 12 hours with my arms crossed.
[Time limit has passed and the mission has ended.]
[You have survived for 12 hours.]
[Number of monsters killed on the 660th floor: 5,395]
[Cleared with miraculous play!]
[Achievement unlocked as record clear reward.]
[Achievement ‘Skill Fusion (SS)’ has been unlocked.]
Finally, I got it.
The final Achievement, Skill Fusion.
I had obtained this Achievement before my regression too, but couldn’t utilize it properly then.
I didn’t have enough skills.
‘Now it’s different.’
Dozens of skills obtained through Skill Copy.
I would use them all as materials.
▶Skill Fusion (SS)
―Acquisition Path: Labyrinth Underground Floor 660
―Effect: Can fuse one main skill with multiple sub-skills. Sub-skills are destroyed, and the main skill’s grade increases. Fusion is possible without limit.
―Time remaining until permanent acquisition: 9 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds
