Skill Devouring to the 666th Floor Episode 075

75. All Things Are Creation

While Kairos and Lee Tae Seong entered the room separately.

Orcus was having a conversation with Harmonion.

[Damn it… What the hell are they talking about? It’s making me curious…]

[If you’re curious, why don’t you go in, Orcus.]

[I can’t do that. The Secret Room is designed so only two people can enter.]

[Is eavesdropping impossible too?]

[Yeah. If that were possible, would I be sitting here like this?]

He had provided the room with his Divine Authority, but that didn’t make eavesdropping possible.

[Why did he ask to talk separately? What is that Regressor planning to pull now…]

[He’s probably trying to convince Kairos to hand over Terra.]

[Is that even possible? Kairos isn’t the type to be easily swayed by persuasion…]

[It’ll definitely be difficult. Kairos’s stubbornness is no ordinary stubbornness. Even for a Regressor, it won’t be easy.]

If Kairos also gets his Terra taken, it would mean all Three Gods have been defeated.

Their pride couldn’t help but be hurt at having divine power extorted by a mere human.

However.

[This is just between us two… but honestly, I’d like to see Kairos get taken too. Don’t you think so, Harmonion? Isn’t it unfair that only we got extorted?]

[Hmm… I won’t deny it.]

Having already had their Terra taken, the two secretly hoped Kairos would fall.

It was petty jealousy they had never experienced in their lives.

[Oh? They’re coming out.]

The door opened and the two people emerged from the room.

Seeing Kairos’s hardened expression, Orcus asked.

[How did it go? What did you two talk about?]

[We had an in-depth conversation about the current situation we’re facing.]

[And?]

[As a result…]

Kairos looked at Lee Tae Seong with serious eyes.

[I’ve decided to hand over Terra to Tae Seong.]

[What?!]

[Why?]

To the two gods asking in surprise, Kairos answered in a serious voice.

[In the future, the Underworld becomes an organization that corrupts society, taking the lead in hindering Labyrinth conquest by intimidating not only ordinary people but other Apostles as well.]

[The Underworld… you say?]

[That’s right. While it’s purely coincidental that the main culprits gathered in Korea, since they’re already gathered, Tae Seong and I discussed that it would be good for the future to lure them to the Abandoned Factory and deal with them.]

[But what does that have to do with handing over Terra?]

Even at Orcus’s objection, Kairos wasn’t flustered.

He had already coordinated with Lee Tae Seong.

[Giving Terra is a kind of transaction.]

[A transaction?]

[Tae Seong said it doesn’t matter to him if we leave the Underworld alone. After all, he’ll be the only one to reach the 666th Floor, and whether other Apostles get intimidated or not has nothing to do with him.]

[In a way, that’s true.]

[But I wasn’t pleased with the future becoming grim because of the Underworld. I also didn’t like the idea of them intimidating Apostles and causing chaos.]

Kairos frowned.

Naturally, it was an act.

[The flow of the timeline has already been twisted by the Regressor’s existence. I don’t want any more chaos and variables. So I asked for help. To eliminate the Underworld that will corrupt future society right here and now.]

[And then?]

[He demanded compensation. He said since this is purely for my sake, shouldn’t there be some kind of reward.]

[Ah… so that’s why Terra?]

[Hmm…]

Wanting to eliminate the cause of future chaos in advance?

As justification, it was sufficient.

For Kairos, who hates unpredictable flows, he would want to do that.

Though he’d have to give up Terra as compensation for it.

[Will you be okay? Kairos? Even giving up Terra?]

[I’m fine with it. If it means we can remove troublesome obstacles.]

[Well, if Kairos is convinced…]

[Won’t you regret it?]

[Tae Seong and I have already finished discussing and agreed to do so.]

Since they’ve reached a mutual agreement, what more could be said.

[Do whatever you want, then.]

[Kairos’s opinion is what matters most.]

The two gods nodded in understanding of the situation, but never imagined he might have been threatened.

[The inflowing energy is ‘Terra’.]

[As a divine source, it is energy that doesn’t suit the user.]

[If mishandled, your soul could be devoured.]

[Should we expel it right now? Y/N]

‘No. Absolutely not.’

I pressed N to accept the Terra.

Soon, energy began flowing in.

No matter how many times I experienced it, the pain never became bearable.

‘But… it’s worth it.’

When Terra increases, the Achievement effect raises all stats by 14 each.

A total of 112 stats increasing at once.

This had the same effect as conquering dozens of Labyrinth floors in one go.

‘So there’s no reason not to take it.’

However, what was even more meaningful than that.

[The Terra of the Three Gods of All Things has been gathered.]

[Achievement will be added.]

Was the fact that I could obtain a new Achievement.

▶All Things Are Creation (SSS)

―Acquisition Condition: The first human to absorb and stabilize the Terra of the Three Gods.

―Effect: Consumes Terra to unleash the power of creation.

This was an Achievement that only appeared when accepting the Terra of all three gods.

‘The power of creation. This is insane.’

Not only did Terra dramatically increase my stats, but creation as well?

‘Honestly, I was shocked. When I first obtained this Achievement.’

Now it was the second time so there was nothing to be surprised about, but in the past it was different.

Who would have known that such an Achievement would appear after receiving Terra injections from the Three Gods one by one?

‘The Three Gods don’t know what Achievements I have either. The system’s personal information isn’t disclosed.’

Therefore, they couldn’t even imagine I would possess such abilities.

‘But the power of creation isn’t omnipotent.’

In the past, I had tried to change the world using this power.

However, Terra was absolutely insufficient and nothing changed.

‘At most, I used the power to cut off one of Amon’s arms.’

Even in the past when I obtained various powers, I couldn’t reach the realm of gods.

Didn’t Amon, the God of Destruction, mock my level compared to his realm?

‘For now, I should deal with the guys here as promised.’

As I exited the Eternal Room, the stopped time resumed.

The Underworld members obediently following behind me.

Weihao whispered in my ear from beside me.

“When are you going to deal with those guys?”

“Let’s go.”

“You’ll leave some for me, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Hehe.”

Weihao was grinning, looking forward to the time when he could satisfy his desires.

Meanwhile, the Underworld members were following along well.

Not knowing that where they were heading was their Graveyard.

‘No one will find out here.’

The Abandoned Factory where I had killed Lee Hwi Yong and his friends before.

I brought the Underworld and Wang Ho Wei to this place.

To make it the Underworld’s Graveyard.

‘No CCTV, no witnesses, so it’s perfect for disposal.’

I had checked once more before coming, and the corpses of Lee Hwi Yong and his friends were still there.

Meaning the police hadn’t discovered them yet.

‘I can’t let a single one of them live.’

What I had told Kairos earlier was true.

The Underworld members had actually kidnapped and threatened people to secure Apostles.

It wasn’t a made-up story.

Therefore.

Thud―

As soon as I entered the Abandoned Factory, I stopped.

“Thank you for following me this far.”

“What do you mean by that?”

I pronounced their death sentence.

“Underworld, you will die here.”

The Ten Strongmen widened their eyes in surprise at my words.

Shing―

Each drew their weapons.

“This cowardly bastard. He deceived us.”

“I knew this would happen from the moment he told us to follow him.”

“But what do we do about this? We have no intention of dying.”

“Actually, this worked out well. He led us to a quiet place.”

“We followed on purpose too. We were concerned about prying eyes.”

“This place will become your grave, you bastard Bangz.”

The Ten Strongmen openly showed their hostility.

Well, I had expected this.

“I don’t spare anyone who points a blade at me.”

“What bullshit.”

“No matter how strong you are, you’re just one person. There are five of us.”

“Whatever, let’s finish this quickly. Wang Ho Wei is here too.”

Wang Ho Wei, who had become a target, quietly moved over to this side.

‘Somehow I ended up on the same team as him.’

We were definitely outnumbered.

Three on this side, five on theirs.

However.

‘The guys here aren’t ordinary people.’

Elite among elites.

Even without me stepping in, Wang Ho Wei and Weihao together could handle them sufficiently.

‘Should I leave it to them?’

When I crossed my arms and stayed still, their eyebrows twitched.

“That bastard…!”

“Is he looking down on us?”

My attitude ignited their pride.

“Kill him!”

Five Ten Strongmen charged simultaneously.

I had already confirmed what skills each possessed through Skill Copy.

[Since the target has only one skill, attempting direct copy.]

[Skill ‘Shadow Step’ has been copied.]

[Skill ‘Death Charge’ has been copied.]

[Skill ‘Vital Strike’ has been copied.]

[Skill ‘Fireball’ has been copied.]

[Skill ‘Tentacles of Destruction’ has been copied.]

Five skills copied.

Coincidentally, they were skills I didn’t have.

But I understood what kind of skills they were.

Even the Transcendent Spirit did.

‘But these bastards…’

They have no intention of helping at all?

Neither Weihao nor Wang Ho Wei moved.

They were just watching from a distance.

‘Are they just going to stand there and pick their noses?’

Even though the Ten Strongmen were charging at me, weren’t they a common enemy?

Shouldn’t they at least make some action to fight?

‘Well, there’s no reason for them to help me.’

If I died, it would benefit them too, so why would they help?

Maybe they were hoping I’d get stabbed and die like this.

While having such thoughts.

The Ten Strongmen approached within arm’s reach.

“Die, you bastard!”

Lightly dodging the rushing weapons, I utilized their skills.

‘Shadow Step.’

I disappeared in an instant and emerged behind my opponent.

Crack! Snap!

I grabbed his head, twisted it, and killed one.

Immediately taking out the Tree Branch transformed into a blade.

‘Death Charge.’

In a charging stance, I pierced through the heart of the guy next to him.

‘Second one down.’

Then using telekinesis to immobilize him.

‘Vital Strike.’

Crack!

After killing the third one.

“Cr-crazy…!”

The remaining two guys panicked.

“D-die!”

A crimson flame rose from one guy’s hand.

Kwang!

It struck my head hard.

However.

[Cloud’s Protection effect activated.]

Thanks to the buff I had cast beforehand, I automatically became invincible.

Thud!

I was able to easily dispatch the guy who was supposedly 2nd among the Ten Strongmen.

‘Now what’s left is.’

Zhang Heilong, who’s supposedly 1st among the Ten Strongmen.

He’s frozen stiff like a stone statue and won’t move.

Next to him is the trembling leader of the Underworld, Sun Gang.

Anyone could see the outcome was already decided.

“Weihao.”

“…Huh?”

“I left one for you.”

“Oh, okay!”

The guy who had been watching my fight in a daze remembered his forgotten duty and approached Zhang Heilong.

With an expression like he had delicious food right in front of him.

“You’re mine. Hehe.”

“You crazy bastard! Die…!”

Zhang Heilong panicked for a moment at his body that wouldn’t move.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Gaaahhh!”

In the end, he became Weihao’s meal.

The leader of the Underworld as well.
