Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 195

195. Beriak’s Return

‘I fooled them perfectly.’

Not a single person here realized that I was a demigod.

Because I looked exactly like Beriak.

‘So this was the true value of SSS-rank Camouflage.’

Not long ago, I had enhanced Camouflage to SSS-rank through Skill Fusion.

At the time, I didn’t have any particular expectations.

I just had skills left to enhance, so I strengthened the support skills I used frequently to their limits.

But the result exceeded my imagination.

▷Camouflage(SSS)

―Effect: Can freely change not only face and body but even the soul to any desired appearance. Disguise capable of deceiving even gods is possible.

The skill description changed dramatically upon reaching SSS-rank.

The phrase about being able to deceive even gods caught my attention.

‘The key here is being able to change even the soul.’

Only spiritualized beings can enter the Eternal Room.

Therefore, no matter how you change your outer appearance, you’d be seen in your soul’s true form.

‘But if I can change even my soul’s appearance with Camouflage, I can deceive the Administrators perfectly.’

I had long predicted that the Administrators would seek out the Three Gods to make me regress.

I postponed killing Amon on the 666th Floor for a moment and entered the Eternal Room.

Disguised as the already dead Beriak.

Since Beriak appeared in none other than the Eternal Room, they had no choice but to be completely deceived.

Even Hasaksios, who had been on the same side.

‘Same side, my ass. We just temporarily joined hands. Now he’s nothing but a traitor.’

It was within my predictions that Hasaksios would betray me and confess everything to the Administrators.

For someone cornered like him, killing me would have been the only solution.

‘I simply used his plan in reverse.’

The Administrators still stared at the spot where Ardiols had vanished with shocked expressions.

They probably never expected him to die so futilely.

I silently acted as Beriak, doing my best in the role.

[Are there any others? Anyone who opposes me becoming a god?]

The Administrators shook their heads with terror-stricken expressions.

Who would be crazy enough to raise their hand when opposing might mean immediate annihilation?

I smiled with satisfaction and extended my hand.

[Good. Then I’ll take it that everyone agrees, so offer your Divine Force to me.]

As the command was given, the Administrators opened their subspaces with frightened expressions.

Resist Beriak?

That would be no different from courting death.

Faaaat!

‘Is that it? The thing called Divine Force.’

Purple orbs that each one took out from their subspace.

A power distinctly different from Terra writhed within them.

‘So that’s the energy those bastards desperately collected using the Labyrinth?’

Though they had taken them out, they hesitated to hand them over, but when I glared at them once, they immediately extended their arms.

[Here…]

[Please take it…]

The refined orbs of Divine Force were handed to me.

[Unknown energy is flowing in.]

[The inflowing energy is ‘Divine Force.’]

As soon as I touched them, the purple energy smoothly melted and disappeared.

Then the status window changed.

[You have absorbed Divine Force ‘2,291’.]

《Divine Force : 2,291》

A new category called Divine Force appeared below Terra.

As dozens of Administrators handed over their orbs in turn.

《Divine Force : 94,691》

Nearly 100,000 Divine Force had accumulated before I knew it.

[We… we’ve given everything…]

The last Administrator spoke with a trembling voice.

Now all the Administrators had offered their Divine Force.

I continued my act while hiding my satisfied smile beneath the helmet.

[Good. Now I’ll become a god and go deal with the demigod.]

At those words, the administrators let out sighs of relief.

They thought they could finally stop the demigod.

However.

Crack!

Beriak’s Sword was swung like lightning.

The body of the closest administrator was cut in half.

[Kueok!]

The administrator vanished with a scream.

[You have absorbed Terra ‘28,394’.]

《Terra : 215,877》

‘Now it begins.’

[What, what?]

[He killed an administrator… again?]

[Beriak! Why are you suddenly doing this?]

[We, we even gave you Divine Force!]

The administrators panicked and stepped back.

But I didn’t stop.

Swoosh!

I took out the Divine Transformation God-Slaying Spear and massacred the administrators.

The spear became a sword, then a whip, freely changing forms as it cut down the administrators.

[You have absorbed Terra ‘31,205’.]

[You have absorbed Terra ‘29,847’.]

…

…

…

As Terra accumulated, my stats soared.

‘The more I kill, the stronger I become.’

I massacred administrators with increasingly faster movements.

With Soul Strike enhanced to +10 and SSS-rank, there was no problem killing them.

[R-run away!]

[We’re going to die!]

The administrators scattered in all directions.

But they were already in the palm of my hand.

‘Time Stop.’

The world stopped.

Only I could move.

Swish!

Swoosh!

In the stopped time, the spear pierced through the administrators.

It precisely stabbed their soul cores, making them vanish instantly.

Fast and clean.

When time began to flow again shortly after.

There weren’t many administrators left.

[No! Please!]

[Spare me! I’m begging like this!]

Pleading voices echoed in the Eternal Room.

But Lee Tae Seong’s eyes didn’t waver at all.

‘I know how many lives the administrators have sacrificed.’

To mine Divine Force.

To become gods themselves.

They worked countless life forms from many planets like slaves.

‘There is no forgiveness.’

The spear was swung.

[You have absorbed Terra ‘28,741’.]

[You have absorbed Terra ‘36,492’.]

[You have absorbed Terra ‘30,158’.]

Everyone died by my hand.

Except for one person, Hasaksios, who had evacuated to the dimensional gap.

‘I missed Hasaksios. Well, it’s fine. I can find him with the Balance Gap skill. I also let him go on purpose.’

I opened the status window to check how much Terra had come in.

《Terra : 982,498》

【Stats】

●Strength : 2,000,404 / Penetration : 2,000,404

●Endurance : 2,000,404 / Agility : 2,000,404

●Life : 2,000,404 / Mana : 2,000,404

●Regeneration : 2,000,404 / Resistance : 2,000,404

●Dark Magic : 2,000,404 / White Magic Power : 2,000,404

Each stat exceeded 2 million.

This was also thanks to the Divine Transformation God-Slaying Spear’s 2x stat effect.

‘With this much, my stats are comparable to a god.’

However, I wasn’t a god.

I had stolen Divine Force from the administrators, but I didn’t know how to use it.

‘I don’t even feel any different.’

It seemed like something more was needed to become a god.

I’d have to go ask how to use Divine Force to become a god.

‘Should I go hunt down Hasaksios now?’

I used my skill, leaving the Three Gods standing there dumbfounded.

‘Balance Gap.’

To Hasaksios’s space.

[Huk, huff…]

Hasaksios was breathing heavily in his own space.

His tentacles drooped to the floor as he trembled.

[Cr, crazy… completely insane!]

The scene of Beriak massacring the administrators was still vivid in his eyes.

A massacre that unfolded in an instant.

Even while watching his colleagues disappear one by one, Hasaksios couldn’t help them.

All he could do was run away.

[That bastard Beriak… why did he do that? He already got all the Divine Force!]

He couldn’t understand it.

If he gathered Divine Force to become a god, why did he kill the administrators at the end?

[Once he becomes a god, he can control them however he wants anyway! Why on earth!?]

Did he commit pointless slaughter?

For what purpose?

His mind was complicated.

His thoughts wouldn’t organize properly.

[At least it’s safe here. I’m the only one who knows the location of my subspace…]

No, strictly speaking, there was one more.

The Demigod.

That’s when it happened.

Crack!

Space tore open and someone entered.

A knight in black armor.

It was Beriak.

[H, how!?]

Hasaksios recoiled in shock.

[How did you know to find this place?]

Beriak didn’t answer.

He just walked forward slowly.

The heavy sound of armor echoed through the subspace.

[B, Beriak! Calm down! We’re fellow administrators!]

[…]

[I, I gave you Divine Force too! So there’s no reason to kill me!]

Despite his desperate shouting, Beriak didn’t stop.

As his figure drew closer, Hasaksios was paralyzed with fear.

[Spare me! Please!]

At that moment.

Shimmer—

Beriak’s form became hazy and then revealed a completely different appearance.

The black armor disappeared and in its place stood a man in human form.

It was a familiar face.

[D, Demigod…?]

Hasaksios’s tentacles trembled violently.

“That’s right. It’s me.”

Lee Tae Seong said with a cold smile.

“Surprised?”

[How… how were you Beriak…?]

“There’s a skill called Camouflage. When I raised it to SSS-rank, I could even deceive souls.”

Hasaksios finally realized.

The reason why Beriak had gone mad slaughtering the administrators.

It hadn’t been Beriak from the beginning.

[You, how could you do such a thing…!]

“You’re not one to talk, considering you were planning to betray me first.”

Hasaksios fell silent.

“You were trying to use me, weren’t you? By bringing in the administrators.”

Lee Tae Seong drew out the Divine Transformation God-Slaying Spear.

The spear tip pointed toward Hasaksios.

[Wait, wait!]

The frightened Hasaksios flailed his tentacles and shouted.

[Sp-spare me! Please! You can use me as an assistant! I’ll do anything if you just let me live!]

“I don’t need an assistant, but I have something I’m curious about.”

[What is it? I’ll answer anything I know!]

“Tell me how to become a god.”

Hasaksios’s tentacles, which had been desperately pleading, stopped moving.

“I have Divine Force, but I don’t know the actual method.”

[Ah…]

When the answer was delayed, Lee Tae Seong’s spear tip moved toward Hasaksios.

“Do you know?”

[I, I know! Of course I do! How to become a god! I’ll tell you! How to use Divine Force!]

“Tell me right now. If you don’t want to die.”

[Th-that won’t do. If, if you promise to spare me! Then I’ll tell you!]

“…”

Lee Tae Seong thought for a moment.

Then he lowered his spear.

“I’ll spare you, so tell me.”

[Really… will you really spare me?]

“Yes. So speak. If you lie, I’ll kill you.”

[Al-alright.]

Hasaksios spoke haltingly.

[Divine Force… must be offered to Creator God El. That’s how you can become a god.]

“Creator God El?”

[Yes. El receives the Divine Force and promotes you to godhood. That’s the system.]

“Then how do I meet El?”

[I don’t know… I’ve never met him either…]

“Useless information.”

He raised his spear again.

[Wait! But! One thing is certain!]

“What?”

[The one who needs something appears first! Since all the administrators are dead, El will appear directly!]

At those words, Lee Tae Seong lowered the spear he had raised.

It was a reasonable statement.

‘If the administrators disappear, Divine Force mining would become impossible too.’

Since there would be no one to manage the labyrinth.

‘No matter how powerful El is, he couldn’t ignore this.’

If that was the case, there really was a possibility he would appear.

‘That guy probably wasn’t lying.’

Hasaksios, standing at the edge of a cliff, was desperate.

He wasn’t the type to have the guts to lie in this situation.

“Fine. I’ll spare you.”

[Really!?]

“However.”

The spear tip touched Hasaksios’s throat.

“Your life is in my hands until El appears.”

[Huk….]

Hasaksios could only tremble and hope.

Please let the god appear.

Did such desperate yearning reach the sky?

Space tore open and light poured out.

Brilliant golden light.

Pure and absolute light, on a completely different dimension from Divine Force.

[So you were here.]

A voice echoed through the air.

A neutral yet imposing tone.

A figure revealed itself from within the light.

White hair and golden eyes.

Though it had a human appearance, its presence was overwhelming.

[I am Creator God El. Were you looking for me?]

The god had appeared.
