141. The main character is too strong (1)
Even in purgatory, quite famous demons gathered in one place.
All of their expressions were not good, because the demonic princes who had set out to attack Baal returned without any results.
“Okay.”
The brimstone flames of the hottest purgatory emanate from deep inside, and the Lord of Ruin stood tall in the position where he bestowed the demons with the power of pain.
“Baal is strong.”
It is a difficult opponent to subdue if you do not recover your strength in the first place.
Baal was one who was praised as a god in some worlds.
Even though many years have passed, the power he gained at that time was still quite strong.
“In order to firmly subdue him and expel the legion, it is first for me to regain my last strength.”
A huge magic circle spread across the land where the Lord of Destruction was standing.
This place, which gave off an ominous aura, was the place to perform the ritual to regain one’s power.
“I will attend the last rites.”
The owner of Purgatory has the last resort to awaken the lost ability by eating the demons who have gained power as sacrifices and eating the power gathered in Purgatory through a specific ritual.
If you complete this ritual to reap the power accumulated in Purgatory and the souls of the lesser demons, the Lord of Destruction will gain a little more power than the top deities of the Pantheon.
In fact, if things had gone according to plan, I could slowly gain the equivalent of them without having to go through these rituals.
‘I wished I hadn’t done this ritual… … .’
The final ritual is to absorb all the power of the world of purgatory.
After the ritual is over, Purgatory, which has lost its power, will collapse and will no longer be able to be used as a base for demons, and the demons eaten as sacrifices will be trapped in the collapsed world and will never be resurrected.
The dangerous ritual of destroying the ground itself and eating all the low-level demons that will be the basis of the tribe, if you lose the war, you can’t promise the future.
Besides, I can’t guarantee how much those fucking legions have been harassing me, and whether the strength I’ve accumulated through hardships can lead this ritual perfectly.
Under the current circumstances, he couldn’t even hope for the maximum level that this ritual could bring out, that is, the ability to fight the highest god of the pantheon.
“I will begin the ceremony.”
However, as long as Baal betrayed him and the Legion even invaded Purgatory, there was no option left for the Lord of Ruin.
After all, it was clear that things would be much better than they are now, if only the Doomlord could properly complete the Last Rites without being interfered with by the Legion or Baal.
The fundamental goal of this ritual was to rise to the same heights as those who created the system to subjugate the world to their will and gain that ability.
The power that can be used by those who have ascended to the proper divine status is the ability to freely adjust the laws of this world.
Even if you can’t reach the highest level, there’s no problem at all in overcoming the current situation as long as the ritual is over.
At most, there would be no reason to care about Baal, whose only ability is to spray clumsy energy mixed with a little divine power.
With just a few finger-points, you should be able to banish even those who fearlessly entered Purgatory.
Although the Kerapim who are helping the Legion are also members of the Divinity and are a bit reluctant to use their Divine Power freely, anyway, after completing this ritual, they will no longer pose a great threat to themselves, who will have at least a higher Divinity.
The problem is that the time required for the ceremony is tight.
“It will take three days.”
A whopping three days, in this situation where the enemies are rampaging, the time of three days is necessary while performing this ritual properly.
The Lord of Destruction looked at his subordinates one by one.
“We will unconditionally protect the monarch no matter what.”
“Stop worrying and focus on your consciousness.”
Although the subordinates will do their best to protect themselves, there is no certainty that the safety of the ceremony can be guaranteed as the enemy that has appeared in front of them is more threatening than ever.
However, the only thing I can count on now is the sacrifice of my subordinates here, and everything can be solved if I buy just three days.
It was kind of a gamble.
“… … Then please.”
The Lord of Destruction muttered as he walked towards the center of the magic circle.
He knew that his gamble had never been successful.
“I don’t want to bet on a game like this again, but… … .”
However, now was the time to bet.
It was then.
“… … Well?”
A strong earthquake occurred throughout Purgatory.
“… … Is it Advent?”
The Lord of Doom frowned.
This seismic wave contained unusual divine power, and the size of that power far exceeded the level that a person with a lower deity like Keraphim could create.
“After all, did the Pantheon start to break the taboo?”
Things got messy again.
“You’re a strong guy.”
Because the rulers of the Pantheon put a ban on their power, it is difficult to use this level of power carelessly even in the world.
Power enough to cause an earthquake throughout Purgatory, if anyone could use this ability, only those with the highest level could do it.
If your demon legion has recovered its full power, it will welcome the new god with open arms without having to bother looking for it.
But now it’s too early.
The other demons haven’t recovered even half of their peak power, and it’s difficult for him to subdue a single prince.
Of course, the Pantheon’s ban was quite strong, and since he used such a grandiose ability in one shot, even that strong man should have taken a breather.
Before he regained his strength and moved in earnest, he had to finish the ritual somehow.
“I will finish the ceremony as soon as possible.”
There was no time.
* * *
A single blow with all my might would have turned the whole of Purgatory upside down and consumed the demons.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t see the splendid art scene created by the explosion of divine power with my own eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, I could see the faces of my colleagues gathered around me, looking down at me with worried expressions.
“Are you out of your mind?”
“… … Well?”
“Are you out of your mind, my friend?”
“… … ah.”
Looking back on my memory for a while, I soon remembered that I gave too much power and the recoil was so strong that I passed out while standing the moment I used the technique.
Not only did this body, whose consciousness was now transferred, faint, but the main body of the legion, now rooted deep in the colony, also fainted.
“… … Hmm.”
“why? Are you still dizzy?”
“little bit.”
This, if you fail to control your power, you will be ruined.
If I lose my mind, the Legion’s chain of command is paralyzed.
No matter how thoroughly the governing entities to take over the command are trained, it is difficult to deal with unexpected situations without me.
“There is a limit to what you can do with this power… … .”
My whole body is tingling.
It is a sensation felt not only by the body for activity, but also by the main body embedded in the colony.
However, this was a little out of the ordinary.
“… … What is this dirty pressure?”
I thought it was just a headache, but when I looked around, there was an unusual energy entangling my whole body like a dense net.
I don’t know what kind of guy it was, but I felt such an eerie force that was gradually limiting my ability to those around me without knowing it.
What kind of guy is this?
As I was frowning, the old man dressed in shining armor approached and opened his mouth.
“The gold of the Pantheon.”
“… … Well?”
“Those who have ascended to the divine throne should not remain in this world. Those who use the power of the law are limited by it. Congratulations.”
“Congratulations?”
“You have risen to the throne. Only with a transcendent body and strong mental power, you have the qualifications to bear that great power in yourself.”
So, it was said that I became too strong and the high-ranking nobles banned me.
“You know, having dealt with that power. A person with such power can drive this world to ruin at any time, so it can only be used within one’s territory. If you don’t have the Pantheon’s yunheo, you’ll be constrained in that way… … .”
“What kind of guy are you?”
“… … ?”
“What kind of bastard would put a ban on me like this and give a damn?”
Congratulations and nabal, this is a bit annoying.
“No, what if they put a ban on me now? I wonder if I have to solve this before I can kill those demons or not.”
From the moment this net-like aura appeared around me, the power sent by the corps to me was not gathering properly.
Only a feeble level of strength that is lower than my original ESP ability is slowly building up to the point of bursting inside.
“Old King. Look at this.”
I lit a spark of divine power on my palm.
Even just before fainting, the flame that had been emitting the dazzling light of the world roughly, was no better than a kerosene lamp that was now all extinguished.
It was really mind-boggling.
How do you deal with the Lord of Destruction on his home ground with this feeble divine power?
“No, with this kind of power, how the hell am I going to catch those devils?”
In order to use the explosion I just created once again, it wasn’t necessary to accumulate divine power for a few hours, but it was a situation where I would have to stay away and gather strength for several years or decades.
It was because the Pantheon’s restraints were much denser than I thought, filtering out most of the power pouring into me.
“that… … .”
King Arthur looked at me with deep eyes and said.
“Time to find new answers again… … .”
under.
He is really of no help.
“Can I go find the bastard and kill him?”
“That’s not right. You can’t win, and turning the Pantheon into an enemy makes you no different from those demons.”
“sure? How do I keep the Pantheon or something from interfering with me?”
There must be a better way
“no.”
But the cold woman’s voice from behind me blocked my expectations.
When I turned around, an impressive woman with straight black hair and a cold face was approaching me before I knew it.
“Ceraphim.”
Keraphim, who played a fun game with Baal, returned to the Hive.
“If you want to escape from the bondage of the Pantheon, do something like the opening scene and get expelled.”
“Five… … ?”
“… … What is that charming expression?”
“That is fine. How are you supposed to mess with it?”
Although it was expressionless, the dragon friend’s expression, which showed a little bit of concern for me who had passed out, instantly changed to one that looked down on me at some food waste.
“Such a madman.”
“Yes, thank you for the compliment.”
“… … .”
“Then tell me how. How do I go about messing around so that they can release this restraint?”
“Then you could die forever, son of a bitch.”
under.
This time, it was a problem because he became too strong.
“The ruler of the corps—!!!”
Just then, after confirming that I had woken up, I saw a girl screaming and running towards me with a bright expression.
“ah… … .”
right.
Let’s ask that kid.
