Boundless Necromancer

185. Ground Keeper (1)

Demon God.

It was a godhead that I had heard of many times, even if I had never seen it myself.

In a general image, it’s a demonic deity worshiped by demons and monsters… It

‘s never appeared before, and it doesn’t seem to show much interest in me, so I didn’t care.

But it was just an illusion.

[I heard a lot of stories from other gods! ]

The demon was extremely interested in me.

[A challenger who passed the trials of the God of Proof and was recognized by the God of Darkness! ]

…That’s also very burdensome.

[Isn’t this a talent that TOP would love! ]

Of course, it’s impossible to undo spilled water anyway, so I didn’t regret it.

Instead, he immediately picked an interesting topic and led the conversation.

‘What does it mean to be a talent that the tower will like?’

I might be able to dig up some information that could be of help to me.

[This is the literal meaning! Top loves a mighty deity like you! ]

By the way…

[Have you got an answer!? ]

This fucking drank didn’t really tell anything about it except that the tension was ridiculously high.

“…”

No, I want you to know why the tower likes mighty deities…

Even if it’s a mighty deity, it’s not that everyone is good, it’s that they like mighty deities from challengers.

It was complicated.

I didn’t form a specific sentence because I thought my thoughts would be caught, but this demon was more clever than I could feel from the outside.

At least it’s not a stupid opponent.

So it’s better to switch to another topic than to try a few times here…

[Hahaha! You must be mistaken! Top likes a strong god even if he is not a challenger! hmm! that’s for sure! ]

…just as I was about to think, the demon smiled broadly and handed me nonsensical information.

Even that, as if reading my thoughts, poked questions very precisely.

‘…Could you have read my thoughts?’

To that, I wondered if a demon god could even read the thoughts of a deep consciousness…

[Can’t it be that!? Just guessing! You can make as many inferences as this! ]

Contrary to concerns, it didn’t seem like it would go that far.

Just seemed to have a higher intelligence than I thought.

This is the part to pay attention to.

‘Is that so.’

[You seem to be curious about a lot, but as you would expect, I can’t tell you much! ]

‘Ah yes.’

[Sorry!! ]

‘By the way, I’m conveying the words directly in my head anyway, so why are you talking loudly…?’

[ No—!! Oh, do you want to be!? Before becoming a godhead, I had a habit of saying this! ]

I have heard that it is impossible to tell whether the extremely developed concept quality is real or fake.

That’s exactly what the current situation was.

This Demon God used a simple and ignorant way of speaking, but at the same time, unexpectedly, he didn’t say important information.

Maybe this tone is also used after thorough calculation…

[Oh, but now that I think about it, there is no reason to share these questions!? I’m only here to offer you an alliance! I am! ]

…No, I don’t think that’s the case again, and I’m not sure.

I thought about whether to talk a little more and get information or ask about the alliance proposal right away.

And…

‘If you’ve come to propose an alliance anyway, wouldn’t you mind telling me this much?’

Noticing that this was a question and answer session that rarely came along, I chose to gather information.

Even if this fails, it doesn’t matter.

Either way, I’ve tried it anyway.

In addition…

Even while I was collecting information like this, I was accumulating in my body the divinity that springs from the spring.

Namely-.

Even if this information collection becomes meaningless, if you can suck up divinity in the meantime, it is meaningful as it is.

‘Tell me at least why the tower wants a mighty deity and wants to give it to me, a challenger.’

[Are you asking a difficult question!? ]

‘Otherwise, there is no point in asking.’

[That’s right! Hmmm! Why does the tower want a mighty deity! I can’t tell you much about …! ]

‘I know.’

[But I can tell you to some extent! But it’s a trivial truth that won’t be much fun! ]

The truth that there is no such thing as fun.

As for why the tower wants a mighty deity, he said so…

[The tower wants a transcendent in the true sense of omniscience and omnipotence! ]

The words that followed were not something that could be easily dismissed and passed on, as the demon had said.

‘A transcendental person…?’

[ okay! The Tower wants a transcendental person who can use it for its own purposes! However, in the dimensions that exist in this universe, there is no omniscient transcendence! ]

‘Even the gods are not omnipotent, so they are lacking.’

[ yes! So the tower hopes for an omnipotent god, but so far no such existence has appeared! ]

‘No way…’

[As you guessed, the tower hopes for a real transcendent and grows challengers! ]

….

The truth was more incomprehensible than I thought.

The tower was already an existence close to omnipotence.

But you wished for an omniscient and omnipotent god that could be used for the purpose of the tower?

I thought it was contradictory for some reason, but soon I realized one thing.

The demon god said that there is no omnipotent deity in all dimensions of this universe.

So…

‘The tower does not correspond to an omnipotent deity…’

It was also possible to interpret it like this.

[ answer! The tower is stronger than an ancient deity, but isn’t that the one who transcends omnipotence!? ]

It is a shocking truth.

A tower capable of giving even divinity directly is not something like an omnipotent transcendence.

If the tower itself is not a transcendentalist, then how the hell is it going to create a transcendentalist?

The question that I thought over and over again in the thought,

‘The tower did not become a transcendental person, but the power to create a transcendental person…’ did not lead to the end.

[I’ve told you everything I can tell you, so shouldn’t you think for yourself from now on? ]

The absurdly high tension cooled in an instant, and the voice became cold.

[I liked ‘you’ as a new deity. But ‘you’ as an ally is a different matter. ]

I realized that.

That there is no one who is easy going among Godheads.

And…

[Want to know more? ]

At the same time as those words resounded, the water in the fountain gathered in front of my eyes and took some form…

Shoot ah…!!

Spring water has become a sharp-eyed male demon with a pair of horns on his head.

[There is no reward without cost. You must have learned enough about this at the Tower. ]

Soon, he drew an arc at the corner of his mouth and stretched out his hand as if asking for a handshake.

[ Say it again. Challenger Han Seong-yoon. ask for an alliance And the purpose of this alliance is one. ]

But…

[ Ruining the contest between the gods in the giant tree labyrinth. ]

Those eyes weren’t laughing.

[In return, I will give you the reward from the battle of the gods. ]

to the point of giving goosebumps.

***

Give and Take.

I didn’t hate this concept.

The fact that someone else gives me something is a will to generate profits through me

.

It was the same this time too.

[The alliance is formed! do not worry! We can get what we want from each other! Hahaha! ]

Before I knew it, the demon was smiling heartily, erasing the cold eyes.

I’m not sure which one is the real one.

The important thing is that I eat the rewards that will be in the competition of the gods.

[The competition starts on the 7th floor, so it would be good to grow as much as possible until then! ]

After those words, the spring water in the form of a demon god immediately lost its shape.

「Injection of divinity according to overall combat power has ended.」

Since the infusion of divinity ended before long, I immediately went outside.

Chow!

As I split the current and came out of the black spring, the Dark Lord came to me startled.

“What the hell is this… how far did it suck the devil’s divinity…”

His pupils were shaking quite a bit, as if he had noticed that he had absorbed a lot of divinity even when he pretended to.

But I had no intention of giving an honest answer there.

“It’s okay, let’s go.”

“…going? Where?”

“Where is it? We should go to the place leading to the 6th floor.”

“…wasn’t it meant to kill Jim?”

It seems that the dark lord expected to die sooner than he thought.

Well, maybe the reason why he didn’t run away was because he wanted to prolong the lives of the demons in the city.

It’s a fact that you don’t even have to hear.

Originally, I would have tricked him and killed him right before he crossed the hierarchy.

But…

“I made an alliance with your main god. So from now on, demons won’t kill.”

In this alliance, the Demon God asked me to refrain from killing demons as much as possible.

Of course, it was said that it didn’t matter if the demons attacked first or if the enemies without intelligence like monsters died… but the

dark lord had no problem in crossing the hierarchy even if he didn’t have to kill it, so I thought of keeping him alive.

“What is that…”

The Dark Lord frowned as if he did not understand.

But that was only for a moment.

Without saying a word, I rolled up the sleeve of my left arm and showed it to him, and then I heard horror from the dark lord.

It’s probably because of the tattoo-like pattern on his left arm.

Because this is the side income from the alliance with the Demon God.

“The seal of the Demon Goddess…! How could an intruder like you do something like this…!”

“I told you. I’ve become an ally with your main god. It’s like a down payment.”

“That kind of thing…”

“Once you’ve roughly understood it, let’s move.”

“…i get it. Do as the devil wills.”

Should I say it’s a demon-only high pass?

I heard that most conflicts can be avoided if you show this to the demons.

In fact, seeing that the dark lord was more docile than before, it didn’t seem like a lie.

Well, in the first place, I don’t think there’s any reason to engrave these things as lies

.

「The skill ‘Guardian’ is deactivated.」

I immediately deactivated the skill to cancel the barrier surrounding the team members.

“you…! What have you been up to!? I could have been helpful…! Why are people like this…!”

As soon as the barrier was lifted, Catherine Bennett burst out with a nagging voice like a quick-fire gun…

“I’m sorry. I did this because I didn’t have the confidence to protect you.”

“Oh no! Not sorry…! ugh! I want you to know the feelings of those who are a little worried!”

“I will be careful from now on.”

“….”

I didn’t intend to take it one by one, so I took care of it roughly and turned around.

“Now that we’ve obtained the Dark Lord’s approval, let’s go downstairs.”

And…

「View the [privileges] of the shop dedicated to the labyrinth.」

As soon as I moved, I activated the special shop in the shop dedicated to the labyrinth.

「Currently accumulated Labyrinth Achievements are 【372】 points.」

Maybe it was because she had been collecting them quite desperately, she had accumulated points close to 400 points.

‘At this level, I can buy most of the things I want.’

So…

「Read all the perks you can buy.
