Chapter 285 – The Champion’s Nemesis

“What do you mean? The end of the world?”
“I heard from Raband that you killed the inhabitants of the old dimension.”
“…”
​
Residents of the old dimension.
That must be referring to the life that was felt inside Poseid’s body.
​
“There’s no need to feel guilty. It’s more like a record than a life.”

I have no guilt…

“Record…?”
“It is a code called the record of God. The inhabitants of the old world are asleep somewhere in a state of suspended animation, and what is engraved on Poseid’s body is a record that continues with them. May be.”
​
It’ll be pretty tough… Katz added the word.
​
“Aren’t you self-defense in the first place?”
“No, I don’t feel very guilty… What does that have to do with the world ending?”
“It doesn’t matter. Because the purpose of the gods is to become the Absolute in this Elyunar and revive the inhabitants of the original dimension.”
“…I don’t quite understand. I don’t know, but is it necessary to wipe out Elyunar’s life, even if it means saving the inhabitants of the dimension he was originally in…?”

If it’s enough to bring back so many lives, wouldn’t it be possible to create a planet for them to live on?
As such, there are endless possibilities. I felt it very clearly this time.

“Yes. Because they don’t want to leave unsettling buds.”
“A disturbing sprout?”
“Elunar people have a very high ‘level’ from birth. Currently, due to restrictions, gods cannot be born, but after a winner emerges, a new god will be born if the conditions are met. Because there might one day be a monster that surpasses the power of an absolute god…”
​
What a fucking noise
I don’t understand.
​
“What is a step in the first place? It’s a word I’ve heard so many fucking times?”
“You can literally say it’s a level or grade. As you may know, the current gods were literally absolute gods in their own dimension. Why. I mean.”
“Hmm… So?”
“However, if those absolute gods come to this dimension, also called the ‘Ryunar Dimension’, they lose their omnipotence and have their names and powers forcibly engraved on them.”
“…Huh? Why?”
​
Isn’t it omnipotence if the omnipotent bastards lose their power just because they came to another dimension…?
​
“I don’t think I understand it well when I say it’s a dimension, but it’s not a dimension close to infinity that those who were absolute gods dealt with, but a place outside their perception… A place where other gods rule or where there are no gods. It’s a mysterious place that goes beyond. There’s nothing strange about it.”

There are a lot of strange things, and I don’t know what to say.
The explanation is fucking sloppy, you bastard.

“Anyway, Elyunar has a higher level than any other place.”
“…”
“For example, if the level of Poseid is 9 and the level of Ryunar is 18, then Poseid is forcibly downgraded and can only use powers outside of 9. Of course, this is just an example, and the reality is much more complicated. Only.”

Suddenly, I remembered what Poseid had been doing.

“Uh… Then do you really need to come to Ryunar’s dimension?”
​
If you’re like me, I think you’ll play God in my world.
Is it a situation where you came here for greed or boredom and couldn’t go back because you were trapped?
So, did the 999 Gods and 999 Evil Gods get fucked?
Villains haha

But Katz affirmed my question.
​
“There is.”
“Is there a reason? Maybe it’s because I’m enough for the absolute person! Or omnipotence is not fun… Kekeuk. Is it a reason like that?”
​
As she said it, thinking of Poseid and Nanar, Kaitz closed her eyes and nodded her head slightly.
​
“There are people who come with that thought.”
“Really…”
“But there is another reason. If you become an absolute god in this dimension of Ryunar, which is higher than any other place, you will become strong enough to forcibly dominate other dimensions with owners.”
“…”

Right.
It’s a story that you can’t handle it after waiting quietly.

“It’s a story that you can’t stay still while others are moving to grab the supreme power.”
“You’re saying that you’ll become stronger by becoming an absolute god in this place…?”

By what principle?
Being weak in a harsh environment is understandable if you think about what it would be like for a person to go to a place like Antarctica or a volcanic area, for example.
But even if you can exist there, you will become stronger…?
Katz chose her words and then opened her mouth.

“First of all… If you are at a lower level, you cannot harm a being at a higher level. Just as ordinary humans could not even inflict a scratch on the god Poseid.”
“…”

I roughly understood what the steps were.
And why they were so shocked when I cut down Poseid or Nanar.
But there are still a lot of things I don’t understand.
​
“Let’s pick out a few and ask.”
“However much.”
“What happens to being an absolute god? Are they killing each other?”
​
Even though I said it, I thought it might not be.
If that were the case, the world wouldn’t be as sane as it is now.
​
“I was going to decide that at first. However, there is also a dimension of will in this dimension of Ryunar. The principle of becoming stronger by sitting in the seat of a god in this dimension that you questioned earlier… Is possible because of this will. It’s just a metaphor, but imagine, for example, that you, who became incredibly strong by absorbing a little divine power, absorb Nanar or Gaia.”
“…”

Katz waited for my reaction.
After I was silent, he continued talking after a while.

“The will of the Ryunar dimension is working in many places. For example, until you become a being belonging to this Ryunar dimension, you cannot get rid of life belonging to the Ryunar dimension…”
“What do I have to do to belong to Ryunar’s dimension?”
“I don’t know about that, but I’ll have to get permission from the will of the dimension.”
“Does it really have to be just one god? Let’s all share the territory amicably… Didn’t you think of that?”

Katz smiled lightly.
It was a pessimistic laugh.

“As I said before, all the Godheads were absolute gods. No matter what they do, they are in the position that one god is enough for the will of the dimension.”
“Aha…”

One powerful person is not enough.
I know and asked, but the gods are no different from the powerful.

“As you asked earlier, at first I tried to decide it as a fight. Since I couldn’t touch the life of Ryunar dimension, the gods created an arena and fought wildly, and as a result, the defeated gods… Are now the ‘forgotten gods’.”
“Ohh…”
“But the conclusion came that the more we fight, the more futile and more powerful we fight. That’s why we set the rules.”
​
I think I know that rule.
A race in which current deities create users in charge and compete against each other.
​
“Is that a game that users are playing now?”
“Yes. A proxy war created by negotiating with the will of the dimension. The god who wins this proxy war will contact the will of the dimension and become the only god. Then he will be able to exercise all his rights.”
​
When I heard the explanation from Almiraj before, there were many things I didn’t understand, but now I understand. Well, he grumbled that there were too many restrictions.
​
“Even if they become the only god who can exercise all kinds of rights, it is promised that they will not destroy the deities who were competing together. “
“…I see. The fake fire god, the dark god, Poseid… Who are now under Nannar… Have given up on being the best?”
“Yes. Those who gave up on being the only god and chose to enjoy their rights by relying on the only god. It’s not a bad business if they maintain their level with the permission of the one who became the only god.”
​
All of a sudden, I remembered what they said was the divinity of some camp.
For example, Nanar, Ornist, etc.
And… Gaia.
​
“Wait a minute. Didn’t the winner come out consistently in the first place? Then what is Elyunar now? It’s already destroyed? Or is it constantly reset due to your return?”
​
Again, I thought that was not the case.
Kitz, like me, lived for nearly 10,000 years, but that was due to regression, and this guy was born just a few dozen or twenty years ago.
I don’t think the deities came to this Elyunar until then.
​
“Of course not. It was simply a territorial battle without a winner.”
“There was no winner…?”
“The condition of Ryunar Dimension is to win the game. There is no other way to become a single god. Ryunar Dimension waited until enough qualified gods gathered before starting the game after consultation.”

Have been waiting It smells like pubic hair.

“Isn’t the will of that Ryunar dimension going against your head?”
“That’s not going to happen. I’ve used the word agreement, but if you burn wood with fire, it burns… It’s hot… It’s a kind of procedure or interaction. It’s something that lives there, and it’s like energy as a person.”
“…”
“And deities are immune to regression.”
“Uh… Do you?”

Did you hear this…? No, I didn’t say

“Their users are affected by the regression… But in fact, most of the godheads are giving up the race halfway.”

What kind of shit is this again?

“Why?”
“It’s because there’s no sign of a winner of the race. The condition for winning is the fulfillment of certain conditions, such as the main quest. However, Machia, Reina, Poise… Even among the Elyunars, participants with the same strength as them can also participate in the main quest. Is insufficient to complete.”
“…”
“Not only that, but among those who were superior, there were also those who gave up the race, who gave up fighting long ago and challenged the position of god of their own will.”
“Uh, yes?”

Become a god…?

“The transcendent people of the other world were originally a term for them. It was misrepresented, but… They were candidates for the championship before I was born. You can say that they are the current Makia, Reina, and Poise class. But looking at past records, they are the modern champions The candidates seem to be the strongest, but…”

I heard one question.

“Hey. Then, not only the championship candidates, but also among the general users, wouldn’t there be people who said they would become gods? Wouldn’t the game itself not work if you and I do that? Are there any restrictions?”
“Yeah. In the first place, other than the winners, no one knows what the winning prize is.”
“…What?”
“For example, Kang Geom-il. He, who is ranked 4th in the ranks of the Gentiles, only knows that he can exercise great rights if he wins… But not to mention those below him. It will work.”

But. If you don’t know, what can you do in the first place…

“In addition, among the gods, there are those who consider the race to be useless and just want to live with the Elyunar people. They are the ones called ‘evil gods’.”
“…Isn’t that rather godlike?”

The evil spirits said that Almiraj were the ones who managed the minority strong people of Elyunar, but there was such an idea.
The reason hasn’t come out yet, but it seems that the guys who live together are much more divine than the guys who promise to get rid of the existing lives.

“Your image of God is still a good image.”
“…”
“Well. The gods gave up on becoming gods and went down the path of their own destruction… It seems that there are some who want to rule even a limited number of people rather than live together. However, due to the constraints of the will of the dimension, Because of this, even if they win, they cannot become absolute gods.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. If we win instead, we will be able to exercise our right to abolish the race of gods itself.”
“…”

Just listening to the words, it seems to be in line with Kitz’s ideal of world peace.
But well Even if the tournament is eliminated, as long as the divinity remains, the side effects will be enormous.
So, Kitz must have wanted to exercise his absolute right by choosing to participate.

“Poseid also gave up the path of a single god this time and increased his followers to become a ‘god’ like Nanar who exerts great influence on Elyunar. After a long time, the gods are gradually trying to compromise rather than win.”

I know I’m pretty tired here and there…
However, there are still a lot of doubts.

“Wait a minute. Let’s not talk too much, let’s start with understanding. Even listening to what you’ve said so far, I still don’t know. Where the hell is the need to kill the Elyunars?”
“Yes.”

Katz looked at him with a meaningful look.
Then he stared at me for about 10 seconds without saying a word.
Can’t we talk quickly before the fucker loses?

“Didn’t I just say that even if you become the only god, if the conditions are met, deities will continue to be born? It’s a story that a person close to a god who can easily surpass even the power of a single god with only talent can be born in this place where the level is originally high.”
“…”

I roughly understand.
Bear and Frog. No matter how strong a frog gets, it remains a frog.
The difference between a bear and a bear is the level of pain in the mouth.

“Ryunar’s will is blocking the birth of a god in Elyunar? What have you been doing until now? You’re saying that you’re making a god only when a godhead from another dimension appears?”
“It’s simple. Gods have come over since there was no life in Ryunar’s dimension, and even if there were, they wouldn’t have known how to become a god… It can also be said that all the gods preoccupied the right to become a single god, so it became very difficult for the Elyunar people to become gods.”

It’s so easy to use this bastard’s will as an excuse from Ryunar’s dimension.

“Now that the process of creating gods is taking place, the limits of the ‘level’ are forcibly applied to the Elyunar people. It was because of the agreement between the gods and the Ryunar dimension. .”
“Then… How to jump over the steps?”
“As far as I know, there is nothing other than contacting a god and obtaining the power of a god. Very few people have achieved this.

Hot eyes again.
It’s so daunting.

“That’s why you’re great. You… Didn’t jump over the stage, but ignored it.”
“Stop boarding the plane, now I can guess, but why would you bother to end Elyunar’s life?”

Kitz looked up at the ceiling and reached out.

“The moment a single god is born, the restrictions of the level that binds Elyunar’s life disappear. In fact, despite Ryunar’s dimensional will, there are already powerful beings who can jump over the level and become a god if they want to.”

Life, not a powerful person.
There were things that immediately came to mind.

“…No way.”
“Yes. There are quite a few people in Elyunar who will become powerful gods once their level is released… Among them, creatures such as the Eight Demon Kings and the Five Great Divine Beasts will be able to become the highest level gods right away if they increase their level to godhood.”
​
Suddenly Frostia comes to mind.
A dragon that is close to a god with just its original body.
What if she becomes a god…?
​…Ohhh awesome.
Her heart pounded a little as she imagined her majestic figure.

“…Why do you look excited?”
“Huh? No, just.”
“There is no tension.”

What is there to be nervous about?
Anyway, I have a rough understanding so far… But there are still three big questions left.

One of them.
Conditions for clearing the game.
Those who belong to both the gods and the demon camps are asking what will happen if they win the race.

Second.
I found out from the conversation between Nanar and Kitz.
The fanatic seemed to belong to both camps at the same time, the gods and the demons.
Then what about the kits that should have contracted with him?

And the third one… The rights that users who signed a contract with God can obtain.
More than poise, he said, the gods knew the winning prize.
So, what is the user’s winning product?

By the way, I heard that Kitz signed a contract with Nanar…? Do users have absolute power and rights like gods? So you’re not the only one? But there’s no way that Kitz, who wants to save the world, will give up his absolute right…

Anyway, did Nanar raise Kitz, who might become his competitor? A crazy kid is a crazy kid.

My head is cluttered with all sorts of thoughts.
I have to release each one.
Let’s start by asking how to win.

“So, what are the conditions for clearing the game…?”

I’ve heard about it from Almiraj, but I’m sure this guy is correct.

“I don’t know the complete conditions yet, but there are roughly three conditions that Ryunar Dimension and the Gods of the Beginning set. One of them is the death of the ‘true demon king’.”

…At first, he’s a true Demon King.
Almiraj said it was to get rid of all demons. Is there a big difference?
In the first place, he split into 666 branches, but how does he kill again?

“Hmm… If that’s the condition for winning, shouldn’t someone like Nanar descend and kill him like this case?”
“Ryunar’s dimension won’t understand such a foul, and even if he descends, he will be punished.”
“…Eh?”

What now?

“Didn’t I just say he could become a god once the phase is unlocked?”
“It did?”
“A true demon lord can solve the stage on his own if he wants to, and even if he doesn’t… He’s several times, or even dozens of times stronger than Nanar in the real world you faced this time. He’s Elyunar, the dragon of destruction in this Ryunar dimension. Besides, he’s the one with the most potential. Moreover, he was born with the blessing that no restrictions can restrain him.”
“…Real?”
“…”
​
Katz nodded, looking tired as hell.
​
“You can think of it as a monster that transcends the gods, stronger than the gods can use the power in the divine realm without restrictions.”
“Uh… Yes. Then I understand something.”
​
When I asked why this strong kid couldn’t win, that’s enough to understand. Cancer.
The true demon lord could be said to be the nemesis of the hero, Kaitsu.
That’s enough, so the will of the Ryunar dimension can’t do this, right? I would have put it in the conditions.

“And, other quests are difficult to accomplish in the first place. The most realistic thing is to solve the secrets hidden in this world, but the users who chose to become gods mentioned earlier, ‘transcendants of the other world’, thought that it was impossible to solve all the secrets, so they solved only a part of the secrets and went up the level. Got the right.”
​
…Huh?
Secrets of the world?
​
“I only know keywords… For example, the place where the gods sleep, the dragon’s tomb, the three temples, and so on.”
“…”
“Since then, most of the candidates for the championship have done little more than follow the keywords that have already been identified. Even so, they are undergoing trials to achieve outstanding results among users and become gods.”
“Uh… Yes.”
​
My mind was complicated.
Keyword.
I know about it
Not just three, but ten.
​
“That… There are innumerable keywords?”
“The number of quests is innumerable, but the secrets of this world… They say that a total of ten keywords are needed to find something hidden by the ancient gods. Some believe that the Eight Kings and the Five Great Gods are also included, but then the quest is absurd. It gets harder without it.”
“…”
​
Ten.
Even the keywords I know, ten.

I know all ten.
…What? This.
​
“Other main quests are related to the teenage family, but no one, including me, has won their hearts, and the artifacts have not been recognized.”
​
Then, Kitz’s eyes lit up.
​
“But now you are different. You are recognized by them and are also being tested as a Pryunar.”
“…Uh, yes.”
“And the true demon king… I’m sure. You’re weak right now…”
“What the fuck are you doing?”
“… It’s ordinary, but sometimes it emits power that can overwhelm me, and it will be overwhelming as I grow.”
​
Katz held out her hand.
​
“I make a formal request. Join me.”
“…”
“With you, we will be able to eliminate the true demon lord. Or the main quest… It would be great if we could do all three at the same time, but that’s impossible, and even if we can do just one of them, it will be a big step forward. I think it is possible to progress to areas that have not been possible.”
​
I didn’t hold that hand.
It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s because it’s complicated in my head.
​
Ten keywords.
And teenagers.
Except for the true demon king or something… A character encyclopedia, a rice cake simulation, and a collection of settings…
​
That’s right, I was currently holding onto the most overwhelming information among users.
Information closest to completing the main quest.
Oh my god.
…You said it was a tutorial?
