The Tutorial Is Too Hard - Chapter 375

Chapter 375 – Thanatos (5)

“Kyaaaak!!”

It’s a mess.

I knew that many of the gods of the Pantheon were originally Rulers.

In fact, it turns out that almost all of them were made from Rulers except for a few. Non-Rulers were not the majority.

The Rulers who had returned to the days before becoming gods when they were called monsters of the source, were going berserk in madness.

Since they had just returned to the verge of reaching godhood, they were not completely devoid of reason.

But they couldn’t handle the sudden confusion.

Falling from divinity to mortality, returning to the days when reason remained, but still possessed by desire, they could not think normally.

Frightened and excited, they attacked whatever was nearby.

There were also those that showed off their survival instincts and ran away.

There was a phenomenon of chasing and being chased in all directions according to the complex hierarchy of the forces.

“Ohoho.”

Ahbooboo was smiling unpleasantly next to me.

“It’s such a great ability, isn’t it Warrior?”

He seems to want to show off his abilities.

I was trapped on the 61st floor because of that ability, and I didn’t think I was going to be trapped in the future.

I didn’t dare to point that out, and decided to just make Ahbooboo feel better.

“Yes, that’s great.”

It was really great.

It was an idea that we came up with on the 61st floor, but it was a discarded experiment because it was not realistic.

The God of the Sky who made it into a reality is really amazing.

Seregia sat quietly on the ground.

There was a somber look on her face.

“I feel heavy.”

I guess so.

Seregia lost her godhood, so if she considered her body light, then that would be even stranger.

For a moment, I watched the Rulers roll around.

I don’t know how long the confusion will last.

They certainly have reason.

Enough to rise to the level of a deity.

It will calm down soon.

And then, their anger and madness will focus on me.

But before that, there was something to be aware of.

“It’s been a long time.”

When I looked back, I saw a giant fox lying around a little away.

It was the God of Sacrifice.

This was the first time I saw her since the 61st floor.

The God of Sacrifice was not like the one who was dealing with the gods of the Pantheon, nor was she like when she borrowed the body of an apostle on the 61st floor.

She looked like a giant fox flapping hundreds of tails.

Which floor was it?

It was on the 19th floor.

At the stage on the 19th floor, where Myong-myong and the fox beast appeared, I encountered the God of Sacrifice, who had not yet reached godhood.

She looked the same as back then.

The appearance of a time when she was called the godmother of the fox beasts.

The only difference was that there were hundreds of giant tails fluttering behind her giant body.

“There are so many things I want to ask you about.”

Really? That’s very strange.

For me too.

From this bizarre war to the gods of the Hundred Gods Temple, the God of Adventure and the God of Order.

I even wondered what kind of ending Myong-myong had in his original time.

“But today is not that day either.”

The God of Sacrifice said something that seemed like she was backing out.

This is where our opinions diverge.

I had no intention of putting off my curiosity.

There was no need to worry.

I knew the art that allowed me to get the information I wanted.

“If you don’t like ordinary conversation, let’s move on to a more aggressive way.”

On the 19th and 61st floors, I wanted to fight the God of Sacrifice.

Even though I’m inferior in abilities, I wanted to hit and burn her.

I wanted to challenge her even if I was reckless.

The difference from that time was that I had the confidence to survive and win.

“I don’t want to.”

I’m sorry, but that’s not up to the God of Sacrifice to decide.

It’s up to me to decide.

I, too, was no different from the Rulers who fell into ungodliness and were in a riot of madness.

When I went back to my imperfect days when I couldn’t complete myself, my emotions were fluctuating.

Tension and excitement.

The mighty power I feel from the God of Sacrifice stimulated me rather than discouraged me.

“I understand what you’re saying, but I’m a pacifist. I’m sorry I can’t accept.”

You’re a pacifist.

You say all sorts of things.

Like a fox.

It wasn’t a word to brag about, considering the fact that not that long ago she participated in the war against the gods of the Pantheon alone and launched an attack, destroying the surface of a planet in the aftermath.

“Many sacrifices are expected in the future. We’ll probably see each other again. By all means, I would like to be able to talk rationally then.”

I sat there, forgetting about the talks.

I ignored those words and ran toward the God of Sacrifice.

But before I even approached, the God of Sacrifice faded and disappeared completely.

The only thing left in the place of the God of Sacrifice was a huge fox tail.

“… Are you a lizard*?”

The God of Sacrifice ran away again this time.

*

The space was shaking.

The God of Sacrifice disappeared silently, like paper wet with water.

But the aftermath certainly remained.

What method was used by the God of Sacrifice to escape this space and go outside.

She must have regained her godhood.

That fact was shaking the premise of this virtual world.

“How long can you stand it, Warrior?”

Ahbooboo said.

In the words of Ahbooboo, an actual user, this space will begin to collapse very soon.

This meant that the beings inside would go out and regain their godhood, and the number of Ahbooboos prepared at best would be in vain.

“Before that, I should reduce them as much as possible.”

No matter how much I’ve been preparing to deal with the godhoods, and although I say I have the abilities to match them, it is much easier to deal with monsters without godhood than to deal with ones with godhood.

I just entered the war, and the God of Sacrifice, who was one of the pillars, has disappeared.

There is a high possibility that the battle between the gods and mine will proceed, so I have to reduce their power over there as much as possible.

Even though I, like them, am ungodly and outnumbered, I was confident.

In the absence of the variable of godhood, I had the confidence to triumph against any being in the world.

“Ahhhhhh!”

One of the Rulers cried out loud.

Then, the movement of the Rulers who were in a riot around them became noticeably dull.

Do they communicate with such a scream?

You don’t need a secret language.

The number of Rulers slowly regaining reason is increasing.

They attacked each other in confusion and are not immediately able to reconcile, but soon they will cease to fight.

I had to attack right now.

“Seregia.”

I called out to her and reached out my hand.

Seregia, sitting blankly on her floor, put her hand on my outstretched hand.

I was dumbfounded by her reaction, and I looked at her for a moment.

“I’m sorry, can you return as a sword?”

Seregia looked at me with a sulk for a while, then turned into a sword without a reply.

Ahbooboo, who was watching a little away, vomited blood.

“Ugh, Warrior, did you use poison?”

I didn’t use it.

This was not me, but the poison that Seregia was emitting.

It wasn’t just poison, it was Lee Ho-jae’s special poison.

But, Ahbooboo, this guy doesn’t have poison tolerance.

Come to think of it.

Ahbooboo is not a deity.

Although it could be said he is degraded in this space, it is not before becoming a god, but before reaching his current state.

Now he is just an ordinary superhuman.

It was sloppy.

This guy, why did I believe in him?

“Hold on anyway.”

“It looks like it’s going to be hard!”

“Then, run away.”

Ahbooboo immediately turned to the opposite and started running away.

It was a wise judgment.

Whoooo

A heavy roar rang from Seregia’s blade held in one hand.

It was heavy.

Come to think of it, it was the first time I tried using this in practice.

To my surprise,

Before becoming a god, on the 61st floor, we had so many attempts.

Most of them were Seregia’s remodeling experiments.

When it was difficult to find a way to damage the godhood, I tried to create a sword that could even injure the godhood with extreme destructive power.

It was the Seregia at this point that was completed as a result.

In the end, I couldn’t do proper damage to godhood.

Because of this, most of the abilities were lost when Seregia ascended to godhood.

But there, there was no weapon like this against those imperfect monsters without godhood.

Poison, disease, curse, fear, confusion, hallucinations, flames, lightning, freezing, radiation.

It was the worst weapon using everything harmful to life.

I endured the heaviness I felt in my hand and ran forward.

Whether they noticed my approach or not, the closest Rulers focused their attention on me.

You’re late.

In order for them to increase their odds, they had to unite and ambush when I was talking to the God of Sacrifice.

Kwoooong-

A huge shield was created in front of them.

I threw Seregia at the shield.

A huge explosion occurred, and I was swept back by the aftermath.

But I got up again and ran forward.

I went through the heat wave.

There was a Ruler who was alive even though he was hit by the burst of radiation.

I grabbed Seregia who had flown into my hand again, and swung her towards the Ruler.

Once again there was a huge explosion.

With the explosion, all the harmful effects built into Seregia spread far and wide.

[Warrior, I think I will die first before the space collapses!]

Ahbooboo’s whining was heard via telepathy.

Surely Ahbooboo won’t last long.

Even me, who had enough tolerance, was wielding her while taking considerable damage.

[But hold on for a bit.]

Until then, I’ll take care of everything.

*

The space is collapsing.

I could feel it even in the storm of the heat wave caused by the nuclear chain reaction.

[Are you alive?]

[Barely!]

I also thought that the space suddenly collapsed due to the death of Ahbooboo.

[Because I’m dying, it seems like the space is collapsing!]

It was right that I turned over.

Damn it.

I just need to kill some more.

Keughh!

I thought, sticking Seregia into the neck of the Ruler, who was making a thin scream.

Immediately after the first clash, the Rulers began to spread openly and flee.

If you were a god, you might not be able to easily choose the option of escape.

They were now in the form of those days, the monsters of the source who valued only desire and survival.

There was no problem with chasing and killing them, but it took too much time to deal with them one by one, as they were struggling to run away and enduring it as long as possible.

Eventually, before the space collapsed, I realized that I could not kill all the gods of the Pantheon.

“That’s too bad.”

I escaped from the lightning storm and moved back to the sky of Thanatos.

This planet became a devastated field, but it was in quite a good condition compared to the place where I had just been.

[What. Are you feeling bad that you didn’t kill us all?]

Someone asked me as if they had heard my self-talk.

He was the God of Flexibility, a member of the Pantheon.

I was feeling a lot of intense anger on my skin.

The number of the Pantheon gods was greatly reduced.

At first glance, the number that had exceeded thousands had shrunk.

Now, I should call it not a war between the Pantheon and Hundred Gods Temple, but a war between Hundred Gods Pantheon and Hundred Gods Temple**.

It became very fair.

All of the gods of the Pantheon who survived in the midst of it were the powerful ones.

The gods of the Pantheon, who recovered their godhood and recovered their physical damage in an instant, were sending me strong hostility.

[Take care of everything… Can’t you?]

Ahbooboo asked anxiously.
