125. Chapter 125
‘Why is there divinity?’
Divinity is the power that can be seen as the power itself that God possesses.
There was no way the Constellations would leave such power anywhere.
But to think that such power was hidden within the remains of only the ninth floor. It’s not even an ordinary constellation, it’s the divinity of Khepri, one of the sun gods.
Even now, Khepri did not stop screaming, telling him to put this down so he could take the other treasure.
Sewoon, who calmly shook his head, soon realized the reason.
‘Is it to make an apostle?’
The concept of apostles and believers was large enough to be compared to small puddles and the sea.
Believers were always those who followed the Constellation, and apostles were those who carried out the will of the Constellation.
Naturally, appointing such an apostle was not an ordinary thing.
It bestows divinity on the player and must have the same aura as himself.
However, the system of the tower was not easy, and I had to consume a great causal rate while bestowing the divinity.
‘However, if it’s this way, the story will be different.’
A divinity hidden as a reward for trials.
If this was the case, it was possible to bestow divinity to the player in the name of a reward for the ordeal without consuming a large amount of causality.
Is it some kind of trick?
From Seun’s memory, Khepri’s momentum in the tower was not great. The apostle didn’t even exist.
Apparently, this was an arrangement to create that apostle.
After thinking, Sewoon smiled lightly.
‘Whatever the reason, it’s none of my business.’
-Would you like to acquire the ‘Golden Beetle’ as a reward?
He nodded without hesitation at the system’s question.
Khepri’s message filled his eyes, but Sewoon didn’t care and the light of the stigma manifested.
After the stigmata started to look like wolf fangs instead of goats, I got used to handling them.
In particular, he was used to eating other divinities like he did in the Crystal Cave.
Ugh!
-The constellation, ‘the one who rolls the sun,’ is enraged that his divinity to be given to the apostles of the future has been taken away.
-The constellation ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun’ threatens to put it down as it is not too late.
– The constellation ‘Crow with her head down’ flaps her wings loudly, saying that she will experience cider that she has not experienced even on the Berhel continent.
Khepri’s threat was heard, but it was too late.
Seun’s stigma radiated red light and greedily ate the divinity embedded in the dung beetle fragment.
I felt the heat on the back of my right hand, and I felt something inside the stigma rising.
This is Khepri’s divinity.
As soon as it was absorbed by the stigma, it gave up its original solar temperament and was consumed by the power of fear and frenzy.
not so long ago
Crisp-
The dung beetle fragments, which had lost all divinity, became sand and flung into the air.
Sewoon felt a different level of satisfaction than when he accumulated mana at the elevation of class engraved in his soul.
– The constellation, ‘the one who rolls the sun’ is frustrated.
I’m sorry Khepri, but I can’t pass up a good opportunity like this.
At first, the goal was to prevent the Outer invasion by somehow preventing the Shinma War and maintaining the power of the Constellation, but now the goal is to go beyond that and become qualified as a Constellation.
Since Sewoon didn’t trust the Constellation in the first place, this was the plan I liked more.
It was unknown whether the two forces would join forces to deal with the outers by preventing the Shinma War.
drooling-
Looking back, I saw that the door that had been wide open was slowly closing.
It was a warning from the system to stop going back now that I had obtained the reward.
“Let’s go.”
“yes!”
Even if it was the words of the Constellation, I had no intention of rejecting the will of the system.
Sewoon and Yoo Seoah leisurely exited the door, and the splendid gold and silver treasures slowly disappeared from their sight.
-The constellation, ‘the one who rolls the sun’ changes his mind.
-The constellation, ‘the one who rolls the sun’ suggests that you become his apostle at this point.
-The constellation, the ‘head bowed crow’ frowned, asking what he was doing.
‘Sadora… … .’
From Khepri’s point of view, it was a plausible proposal.
Since the divinity was taken away anyway, sending Sewoon back like this would really only result in losses.
On the other hand, what if Sewoon becomes an apostle? Although the beginning is different, he eventually has the apostle he wanted so much.
It really means that you have to go down.
-If the constellation ‘the one who rolls the sun’ becomes his apostle, he is proud to promise a sufficient reward and position accordingly.
-I am proud that the constellation ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun’ will be able to enjoy much more brilliant power and honor than following such a dirty crow.
It was definitely a good suggestion.
If you become an apostle of Khepri, not another god, you will be able to enjoy tremendous power as he said.
A normal player would have bowed to him with his head on the floor right away.
However, Sewoon was different.
“It’s done.”
In the first place, Sewoon had no intention of becoming an apostle of either a good or evil god.
As proof of that, he also made a deal with the three demons next to him, he did not become an apostle.
The moment you are contracted and bound somewhere, your plan for the outerwear will not come true.
-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ shrugs proudly.
-Constellation, ‘the one who rolls the sun’ feels great anger at you for refusing the position of an apostle because you dared to kill his pet bug and steal his divinity.
-Constellation, ‘the one who rolls the sun’ has given you an order to kill you, who have finally started to walk the path of evil… … .
“Mamon, can you block that?”
– The constellation, ‘Crow with Head Down’ informs you that the Sun Bug has a pretty big rank.
-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’, however, says that he will gladly accept your request this time.
pop.
Since then, no more loud messages from Khepri have surfaced.
slaughter order?
So far, it didn’t matter.
Tower players basically need to spend a lot of energy to get down to the lower floors.
There was no reason to come all the way down here to kill one of the players in the upper layer.
Conversely, what if those in the lower classes attack Sewoon?
No matter how much they attacked in groups, they could not be opponents to Sewoon.
Even if Sewoon rises to their place of strength, by that time, Sewoon’s might will far surpass them.
“Yuseo, let’s go.”
With Mamon’s pleasant laughter flowing through one ear, the two of them moved forward to finish exploring the ruins.
* * *
Exploring the ruins was not difficult.
It was also a historic site that I had already explored before returning, and it was because this was a dungeon where monsters did not exist in the first place.
There were a few pitfalls and quizzes to move forward, but Sewoon broke through them without hesitation.
and last.
The exploration of the ruins was completed only when the three pieces obtained while exploring the ruins were inserted into the gaps of the last statue.
‘Come to think of it, this was also a piece of dung beetle.’
Knowing that this place is a historical site related to Khepri, I saw many traces related to him.
It’s quiet thanks to Mamon, but aren’t they still swearing at Seun?
I thought so, but immediately shook my head.
If I thought about it right away anyway, it was a question that had no answer.
-You have successfully completed the 9th floor ordeal ‘Desert Ruins’.
– Counting public values… … .
– Remaining time: 39 hours 59 minutes
-Selected Historic Site: ‘Tomb of the Early Morning’
-Complete the hidden quest ‘The Dung Beetle’s Treasure’.
…
-Total cumulative achievement 173,000 points
He even found a hidden quest, but the public value he obtained, let alone ranked, was not that high compared to what he had obtained from other floors.
‘It must mean that the level of difficulty of the ruins decreases.’
Still, I had no regrets.
Through this ordeal, Sewoon was able to acquire ‘Divinity’ and raise the level of his soul.
This was a result that had a priceless value than any treasure.
Yuseo-ah was also satisfied.
He said with a smile on his face that his steps had become lighter after wearing the necklace.
“Well, I guess the others are still there.”
Before taking on the next ordeal, the two checked the clan chat.
Seeing that no one has passed yet, it seems that everyone is struggling quite a bit.
‘Well, this trial is more difficult than I thought.’
The reason Seun was able to pass the ordeal quickly was thanks to the exploration experience before returning.
If it wasn’t for that, it would have taken a much longer time to challenge the same historic site.
In fact, before returning, Sewoon spent over 20 hours to attack the ‘Early Morning Tomb’.
[Lee Ha-neul: Has anyone been in ‘Crouched Scales’? There are many poison-related monsters here, so be careful if you want to enter.]
[Lee Il-jung: The ruins that everyone chose are different. It’s hard to ask for advice.]
[Haun-woon: I asked a few people, and they all seemed to start from different places!]
[Han Ah-reum: Oh, really, this oppa chose a strange place again!]
[Park Jeong-pil: Did you know I would be in a place like this! You didn’t even know! The little one has already learned politics!]
[Han Ah-reum: Shut up!]
‘Did the original start locations be different?’
This time, the location where Sewoon started the ordeal was the same as before the return.
Of course, I thought that the location would be the same for other people, but the space is different, but it seems that is not the case.
Maybe depending on the player… … Maybe there is some rule.
Otherwise, it would not be explained that it started in the same position as before the return.
“What will the next floor be like?”
“well… … .”
In fact, I already knew.
The final 10th floor ordeal with a desert theme.
Unlike the trials that one or two people have gone through so far, it was an ordeal that could be challenged by dozens or more of people.
Of course, if you belong to a clan, you can challenge each other.
Before returning, Sewoon’s clan was in a disbanded state, so he joined another clan’s vacancy and went through trials.
The fact that many players can gather and challenge means that the ordeal is that difficult.

Just as it was said to deal with ogres with only two people on the 5th floor, the 10th floor also had to deal with enemies that were difficult to handle even with dozens of people.
‘Well, would it be better to go first and prepare something?’
Once you enter the 10th floor and everyone gathers, the countdown begins immediately.
It would be convenient to arrive before then and prepare for battle.
Sewoon already knew the contents of the ordeal, but the more thorough preparation for anything, the easier it was.
“Let’s go first.”
“yes!”
Whoops!
At the end of the ruins, the traces of Sewoon and Yoo Seoah have disappeared.
And in that place, it seemed to echo the screams of Khepri, the god of sunrise that no one could hear.
