Chapter 246 – 246. The Path to Becoming the Strongest in the World

‘Rights Deprivation’, which allows you to obtain blessings by killing about 100 intelligent beings, ‘Store Discount’, which allows you to buy goods from merchants at a low price, and ‘Reward Accumulation’, which allows you to obtain a higher reward box by combining rewards to defeat merchants in the store. They can now be kidnapped at will.

[Instead, it is up to you to fight the merchant directly. This skill was created to allow you to take out merchants who were originally designed to be untouchable.]

“Fight with the merchant.?”

This is a bit unexpected.

Well, since we have to kidnap, it’s only natural that we have to fight.

[Okay. Go into the store and rob it. Once I’ve beaten him down, I’ll carve my scars on his body. Then it’s over. All you have to do is drag it out, lock it in the dimensional market, and order it to be pulled out. How about it?]

“Wow. Awesome.”

It was crazy, but I liked it somehow.

Above all, we were able to significantly save on magic stones and gold coins that had to be brought to merchants. Moreover, to recruit you, you had to go around the shitty public labyrinth, but now, when the purple gate is created, you just have to go in with a gun, take a shot, and then engrave the mark of the evil spirit.

This is it. Extorting, exploiting, and killing others to save resources are so natural in the apocalypse that they are not even something to worry about.

Above all, the thought of being able to capture the children who had been doing business comfortably, trusting only for protection from the system, and turn them into slaves made me want to fight while standing up.

“Wait a minute, that’s all good… Does the blessing of deprivation of rights disappear?”

[It’s a blessing to talk to me one-on-one for a long time and have me personally manage the status window… Are you trying to receive the system’s blessing again? Dismissed. I would have told you not to think about anything else.]

“Uh. Well, that’s true too.”

That is correct.

Well, it doesn’t matter. Rather good.

Because now, even if you don’t have to go through the simple task of catching and killing 100 intelligent beings, the evil spirit will give you blessings on its own.

Moreover, I was able to grow my hair. The handicap of deprivation of rights was losing hair.

In the true sense, you can escape from baldness. When I get back to the base, I’ll have to dab some matcha chippein solution on my head.

[And even if you don’t have to accumulate rewards, don’t worry, I will take care of it for you.]

“Yep.”

[Also, there are many magic-type skills that are too complex and difficult to use in actual battle. In my opinion, having less than ten combat skills is just right. Anything more than that would be better suited to weak-brained mortals like you than just passively using it.]

A vicious god who casually treats people with contempt.

It wasn’t particularly wrong, so I just stayed quiet.

[Illegal distribution and fast delivery are made into phase transitions that can be used as movement and expulsion devices. Adds vision blocking and magic absorption to the Thorn Hall. Then. Ta-da!]

As expected, the skills created in this way performed quite well.

[Phase Shift (SSS)]

[Effect: Transfers the specified target to the desired location.]

[Drive (SSS)]

[Effect: You can collect your own pain and the pain of others and dump it on one person.]

As expected, it has become much easier to use.

For Phase Shift, the restrictions of previous skills were eliminated, and even the limit on the number of times was eliminated, and for Drive, you could now impose pain on a designated target even if you did not suffer.

“Huh.”

[It’s not over yet, so don’t be satisfied already! A weak mortal. I am so happy that you have become my apostle that I will make you loyal to me forever. I will never be able to return to a body without me again.]

It’s not over yet? They say it will be strengthened further here?

A bastard… Isn’t he actually a good guy?

He makes the vessel of the demon god happy, and helps to die humans survive by turning them into heretics…

This guy is actually a ‘happiness evangelist.’ Is this an evil spirit?

I think it’s just a name. Perhaps having scars is a condition for receiving blessings, so isn’t it a case of evil spirits?

Or maybe the gods who decided the name didn’t like it, so they just decided it was an evil god. They eat themselves.

It seems that there is no god like this for the weak mortals who are outside the attention of the evil god.

I feel sorry for the Demon God and Asmorphia, but honestly, if they give me this much blessing with the power they gained by eating the God, I think I can offer it to the Evil God as much as I want.

[Let’s see. Combining sanity recovery, increased recovery, and increased immunity… What is this again?]

“Yes?”

[Exorcism?]

“Ah. “That.”

This is actually a skill that I have never used before.

It’s a skill contained in the item that I acquired in the Forest of Fallen. It is said that if you catch 100 demons, you will be given an exorcism skill, but there was no way to catch demons.

[Change skills you don’t use.]

Exorcism was a difficult skill to use because you had to collect 100 demons to use it properly.

The evil spirit combines recovery skills and exorcism into one.

[Spirit Extortion (SSS)]

[Effect: Can be used as a recovery agent by absorbing the soul of a killed target or an evil spirit wandering the nine heavens.]

The recovery skill was a passive skill that could only heal itself, but with the addition of exorcism, it became a medical skill that could heal not only me but others as well.

[Because you go around killing a lot anyway. The more you kill, the more recovery you can get.]

“Oh!”

[Even Jahil and other beings can recover. How about it?]

“Really. It’s perfect.”

To be honest, the recovery skill is rare, so I always managed to get it with items. This went well. Since you can’t carry around a treatment capsule or a wandering doctor forever, this skill is perfect for first aid.

[One detection series is enough. Let’s combine ability detection, echolocation, and presence discrimination into one.]

“Yes. “Good.”

Now everything is just fine.

Is there any way you wouldn’t like it when it’s unconditionally transformed into a higher-compatibility skill?

[Status Monitoring (SSS)]

[Effect: You can determine the location of nearby hostile entities and peek at their status window.]

Now I can identify all nearby hostile entities without having to inform the enemy of my presence.

It seems that it automatically filters out non-hostile beings.

[Let’s combine martial arts into one. There just happens to be some good basic skills. By combining the Path of Transcendence, Samjae Sword Technique, Shock Amplification, and Presence Blocking… I will make it the culmination of your romance. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like this skill.]

“What on earth are you planning to make?”

[Romance in the hearts of young men in this land.]

The evil spirit took 4 skills, tinkered with them, and completed an incredible skill.

[Heavenly Demon Divine Art (SSS)]

[Effect: You can now use the Heavenly Demon Magic.]

“No, crazy!!!”

Cheonma.

Isn’t that the ideal goal that every man who enjoys subculture dreams of?

He is truly a being of all beings and the most powerful person in the world… Furthermore, doesn’t this mean that he is the absolute powerhouse of magic and the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church?

Well, that’s right. Since he looks like the leader of the pagans, I think it would be okay to call him the Heavenly Demon.

To put it bluntly, in this era, if I don’t eat the Heavenly Demon, who will become the Heavenly Demon?

[And finally, I will combine Heart of Blue Moon and Dark Spirit Summoning, and mix the set items you have with Appearance Stealing to create two skills.]

The evil god who had already combined the skills into one before I even agreed to do so.

[Short Star Production (SSS)]

[Effect: You can create evil beasts and demons from the magic stone or corpse of a killed target.]

[Yokai King (SSS)]

[Effect: The power of the three great evil spirits descends on the body. The appearance changes to that of a monster, and the power of the monster can be drawn upon.]

[Archangel (SSS)]

[Effect: Brings the power of heaven to your body. Your appearance changes to that of an angel, and you can draw out the power of the Holy Emperor.]

The appearance loss disappeared, but it didn’t really matter because it could be recreated.

What’s important now is that I can finally attach and detach the Halo.

There is no problem even if I return to the body of Kang In-ho without having to steal the form of another being.

All the Irezumi carved into my body has disappeared, as have the horns and halo. Now it is only created when the skill is activated.

[Unfortunately, the set items disappeared when the skills were combined. However, if you activate the skill, you can use the effect of the item as is, so don’t worry.]

“Yes.”

Unfortunately, the set items seem to have disappeared after being combined into one skill. Once again, the strongest weapons I had become the Destroyer’s Longsword and the Wall’s Shield.

It’s simple and good. Anyway, it was a bit difficult to use all 6 items.

“Then with this…”

[I have combined everything that can be combined, so next time I bring the blessing of skill combination, I will strengthen it similarly. Now I’ve devoted all my energy to you. Move hard! Lots of offerings! Offer up to God!!!]

“Yep. I will do my best. Thank you.”

It seems like he’s used up all the power he can use against me. It seemed that no more blessings could be given until the power was re-energized by offering an offering or catching the god.

In fact, this amount alone is enormous. Above all, the skill window has become quite clean.

That’s the way to save me, my people, and this planet.
