542. True Ending (1)
Kkaaa …
Superluminal speed.
───.
In the gray world, a fatal blow that defies the laws of physics is delivered, and the vast grassland collapses into ashes.
Tukwaha …
The Tower of Trials wasn’t much different.
The Tower of Trials, which was originally supposed to be unbreakable, was completely eroded away, as if an ice cream scoop had dug into it.
The Tower of Trials, built with the power of the divine and the soul as its framework, explodes with a refreshing and magnificent force, and a couple of beats later, a loud noise rings out.
Kuhuung-!
Is it because up until now, that abominable Tower of Trials has always been toying with and deceiving us from some unknown place?
” Hahaha. ”
It was fun.
Before I knew it, a smile naturally appeared on my lips.
Aren’t you the root of all evil that has driven us into a pit of tragedy for the sake of your own selfish desires?
It couldn’t help but be fun to be able to beat it up so coolly.
Just then, I burst out laughing on the ashes-filled meadow, and then I spoke in a snickering tone.
“How is it? I took the time to remodel it myself. It’s not bad, is it? The Tower of Trials.”
Sigh.
It’s just so miserable.
The Tower of Trials was literally in shambles, unlike its previously lofty appearance.
If it gets hit even once more, the Tower of Trials will collapse completely, disappearing without leaving any trace or shape behind.
… … .
however.
Why is that?
Even though this side is openly making a fuss, the Tower of Trials is unable to do anything and continues to only send system messages.
Oddly enough, there was no sign of any aggressiveness or desperate defense.
“The Tower of Trials proposes to speak to you.”
“The Tower of Trials proposes to speak to you… … .”
“The Tower of Trials would like to speak to you… … .”
step…….
“Don’t annoy me.”
It wasn’t a part-time job.
“Just keep your mouth shut.”
I answered in a cold voice. I had no hesitation in doing what I had to do. I had no intention of being influenced by excuses or persuasion.
“Soon. I’m planning on going beyond that anyway. Don’t rush me and just wait.”
The next moment.
「… … .」
“The Tower of Trials activates exclusive authority #A-921 [Absolute Defense], making it immune to all damage.”
“The Tower of Trials activates its exclusive authority #A-924 [Absolute Counterattack], returning all damage to the opponent.”
“The Tower of Trials activates exclusive authority #A-927 [Absolute Seal], sealing any outside intruders within a certain radius for 1,000 years.”
The Tower of Trials. A transcendent structure that had barely crossed the line of ancient divinity, breaking the tone of inaction it had maintained until then… …moved.
The Tower of Trials, which possesses the divine
Like ‘system’, and further, ‘skill’.
───!
step.
It wasn’t made just for challengers.
The Tower of Trials has also planted the power of an operator within the system it has prepared for the challenger.
Exclusive authority. A power that can only be used by those recognized by the Tower of Trials or its transcendental structures. Hundreds of them burst out.
Each one was tricky.
‘Not only the three ancient gods, but even the God of Chaos, or even I in the final battle, would not have been able to take it easily.’
A fragment of the transcendent. The concept of divinity that is the basis of divinity. Raising divinity from the subjective realm to the objective realm. And that is not enough.
The Tower of Trials was the closest thing to omniscience as a semi-transcendent being. It was possible to implement omniscience to a degraded level by imitating the knowledge and abilities of a transcendent being.
Isn’t that why the three ancient gods, the god of chaos, and even I couldn’t reach the Tower of Trials?
Because things like divinity, soul, or magic cannot determine the superiority of power.
‘Yes. If it were me before… … Now, no.’
One, there is no shaking.
‘I am transcendent itself.’
Universe. Because everything that exists in the great dimension is the existence of ‘me’ and a part of it.
An imitation of omnipotence?
That was literally nothing more than a mere imitation.
The power of the Creator God Himself, who realizes all the concepts that exist in the universe and deals with all the concepts, is such that it even changes the boundary between reality and dreams.
Like this.
“The transcendent
I reached out, grabbed the ”System”, and ”eradicated” the very existence of ”Exclusive Authority”. In the world, absolutely.

The power of the exclusive authority in the system that filled the world suddenly disappeared, and a crackling noise rose in the Tower of Trials.
━Shall we start off lightly?
and.
Fit.
Accelerated.
“The Creation Goddess ‘Grace of the Wind’ is activated.”
“All speeds increase by 10,000%.”
“Current skill stack progress – [1,000]”
──────.
Before I knew it, I was holding on tightly to the handle of the Blood Heavenly Sword that had appeared in my right hand, and I swung a light sword strike. Then, the Soul Circle Sword was activated.
“The special effect of the Creation Divine Weapon ‘Honwon Demon Sword’, ‘Double’, is activated.”
“Consumes [───] to increase the power of all attacks by [10,000] times.”
Beyond collapsing part of space-time, the very concept of space-time is twisted, and even if it is only for a moment, it is cut in half, producing one result.
Crunch.
Tower of Trials.
A transcendent structure, halfway across the hierarchy of divinity, barely touching the realm of the Creator… … .
From top to bottom.
It split in half and collapsed.
Kukuang────────!!
***
Tower of Trials.
The greatest structure in the universe, the closest thing to transcendence, collapsed in half, causing an abnormal reaction.
A distortion of space-time. The resulting absorption reaction. An abnormal reaction similar to a black hole occurs, and everything is sucked into it.
Gooooo───!
Time and light, and even concepts and laws, are trapped and flowing into something akin to a black hole created by the collapse of the Tower of Trials.
───.
It was a final offer to someone, and at the same time a selfish prayer to call in a great being.
… … .
It was a ritual to call forth the being who had ascended to the universe itself and had achieved the ultimate state as the subject of all concepts.
***
and…….
***
The transcendent being granted the offer, and further, the audience.
***
… … .
Horizon of thought.
It was a momentary moment of crossing the boundary of the prison that confined facts and phenomena and bound time, light, and even concepts and laws.
The distortion of space and time. The convergence of concepts and laws. The confinement of the very existence of thought was a surprising thing, but it was no longer a surprise.
‘Distortion of space and time. Convergence of ideas. It’s considerable. It’s on a level that surpasses existing black holes.’
Of course, the virtual black hole that the Tower of Trials showed at its final moment was a hidden card beyond imagination.
Even among the ancient gods, those who have reached superluminal speeds will be able to escape without being affected by the black hole.
First, this virtual black hole forcibly collects and confines even the concepts of thought within the horizon of thought. It is a prison that even a semi-transcendent being has difficulty escaping.
The virtual black hole is a force that is arguably the best card if you focus on the ‘confinement’ itself.
‘A fragment of the transcendent… … . The concept of divinity, which is the basis of divinity, is elevated to the objective realm. Even the being who has achieved this would find it difficult.’
step.
Transcendent. To the Heavenly One who reconstructed all the concepts existing in the universe as part of his own existence, it was nothing more than a mischievous prank.
The universe. The creator god who created a new dimension. The distortion of space and time, and even the convergence of ideological concepts. Everything was interesting, but not particularly threatening.
‘Even if I can only partially manifest the power of a transcendent being, how could I possibly be affected by something like this?’
There’s no way the Tower of Trials didn’t notice that.
‘The Tower of Trials. I would have guessed that even that transcendent structure would be like this. It is a kind of ritual, not to confine, but to invite.’
In fact, the Tower of Trials is more like an invitation to the Transcendent One to come inside this virtual black hole and pray.
‘That’s funny.’
It wasn’t particularly out of mercy or an excuse to the Tower of Trials that I gave permission for the proposal to call in the Transcendent One.
‘I was planning on looking into what was hidden in the Tower of Trials at least once, even if I didn’t do this.’
As I manifested the knowledge and power of the Transcendent One, I unintentionally sensed that there was something ‘hidden’ within the Tower of Trials.
The horizon of thought. Something beyond that. Something hidden inside a virtual black hole. That’s why.
It was possible to have confidence in the absolute knowledge and power of the Creator without having to fully manifest it and find out.
This is where the turning point and possibility that will determine what happens next comes.
‘That’s for sure. The Tower of Trials… functions as a single entity. In fact, if you think about it, it’s been like that from the beginning until now.’
Tower of Trials.
If my guess is correct, this transcendental structure is not without personality or self as an object.
It was the opposite. The Tower of Trials was closer to an entity that had built a high level of ego and intelligence as an object. That was for sure.
It was obvious that what was hidden inside the virtual black hole would be the core and essence that kept the Tower of Trials alive.
Then shouldn’t I go?
‘It’s out of the question to find out using the knowledge or abilities of a transcendent being. It’s not something that can be done.’
I squinted my eyes as I stepped perfectly into the event horizon. Here, before me, lies the truth of everything.
‘I worked hard to solve the problem until the end, but now I’m looking at the answer sheet. It’s really inflexible.’
───.
‘You have to do it yourself.’
and…….
‘That’s it.’
The next moment.
… … .
The world has changed.
***
Model garden.
Beyond the dome-shaped glass ceiling, the night sky is visible, and stars that make up the black sky draw thin paths and fall like raindrops.
The sight of the star trails embroidered across the night sky increasing one by one. The interior of the dome of the model garden placed under the rain of stars looked like a small movie theater.
‘uh?’
It was strange.
‘Why did I… … think of this place as a ‘model garden’… … ?’
No matter where you look, this is just a small movie theater with a glass dome replacing the ceiling.
There is no such thing as a model garden anywhere.
But. I kept thinking that it was a model garden. I was even sure of it.
But, that wasn’t the only thing that was strange.
‘What is that?’
Chorrrr───.
The sound of an old projector. An unidentifiable scene projected on a large screen. A roar echoing from all directions. … … A black-and-white film was playing.
━Let me get straight to the point, member. You don’t have to come to the gym anymore.
It’s nothing else than… … .
‘her.’
Me. It was Han Seong-yoon’s story.
***
That’s right.
━To be honest, you are nothing.
━… … .
━How are you going to pass the Hunter exam if you keep trying without any aptitude?
━… … .
━Do you think that trying hard will change anything? Of course not. It’s a useless effort.
━… … .
‘Huh. This is ridiculous. What the heck are we going to do with this? … … I don’t understand why you’re bringing up old stories now.’
The black-and-white film projected on the big screen told my story and no one else’s.
This is a story about a time when I trained with all my heart and soul for 7 years in the hopes of becoming a hunter, but I never got any stronger.
This happened because the Tower of Trials used the system to suppress my natural talents. I felt bad for no reason.
‘Should I get up? It’s annoying. I don’t understand the intention of showing this kind of thing… … .’
however…….
━The manager interview begins.
━We are looking for a suitable interviewee among the managers of the Battle Junction Point… … .
The story took a sudden turn as the old projector continued to turn and they began to climb the Tower of Trials.
━Search complete.
━The interview with the manager of the battle branch point, ‘Baekhakgeomseon’, begins.
‘what?’
The first administrator I met was the Iron-Blooded Monarch.
It was never Baekhakgeomseon.
However, the ‘me’ in the black and white movie was not like that.
In the black and white film, after meeting Baekhakgeomseon, I paid my respects to her and formed a relationship of discipleship.
━Huh. You know what? Seongyoon is very, very, very lucky! A lucky man! He is the very definition of that!
━ Hehehe. Do you know why? It’s because I’m your teacher. The greatest person in the world is your teacher? Aren’t you happy?
━Huh? … …What is that strange expression? Don’t look at me suspiciously. I feel like I lack respect for my teacher.
Black and white film.
The story continued. One, it was very different from what I knew. I felt really strange in the black and white film.
Every time I talked to Baekhakgeomseon and received martial arts lessons from her, the time I spent in the administrator area increased.
There were also noticeably fewer instances of returning to Earth. This one didn’t go well either, but I was strangely unattached to my hometown in the black-and-white film.
━Genius… … . Other than that, there is no other way to explain Seongyoon’s unique achievements. It seems like Seongyoon was born with a natural talent for martial arts.
━Huh? Huh? Huh? You mastered all the techniques of the Baekgeom Chilshik? No, you’re kidding? That can’t be true! Look where you are! … … That’s not a lie, is it?
━This isn’t something that even a 10th floor level challenger would be able to accomplish… …? Are you born with the ability to be a celestial being? Really?
And that’s not all.
Even though I learned all of Baekgeomchilsik in a few days, I still spend my time learning useless things in the admin area.
Although he never stopped climbing the Tower of Trials, he seemed to spend most of his personal time with the Baekhakgeomseon.
‘What is he doing wasting his time like that?’
The natural talent this person possesses is the power to easily learn martial arts, magic, and even sorcery and black magic.
It was not difficult to understand that from the beginning, the soul itself had the talent to blossom into the divine
That’s why I grew faster by fighting in real battles than by honing my skills.
‘Why don’t you become stronger and stay by Baekhakgeomseon’s side?’
But… … .
I didn’t do that in the black and white movie. I just laughed and chatted with Baekhakgeomseon and continued to practice.
From that day on, I didn’t even think about leaving the realm of the Baekhakgeomseon administrator, and just practiced martial arts every day.
‘ah.’
I’m getting the general idea.
Talk.
That’s because, at some point in the black and white movie, I was awkwardly holding Baekhakgeomseon’s hand.
The same goes for the Baekhakgeomseon.
She too was shy and silent, bowing her head and holding his hand as they walked through the forest. They even looked at each other with a slight smile on their faces.
It was something I never imagined.
「 … … . 」
First, the story in the black and white film continued regardless of whether the audience understood it or not.
As expected. Is it true that even rotten teeth are good? Even in the black and white movie, I had become incredibly strong.
The Tower of Trials also managed to climb over 20 floors. However, it still did not return to Earth.
It seemed that he had not made any additional contracts with the Iron-Blooded Monarch. He was simply growing as a single warrior next to the Baekhakgeomseon.
I didn’t like it.
‘Weak.’
Peace and rest were not for me.
The only path that suited me was to become stronger, even at the risk of my own life.
Until I reached the realm of the transcendent, until I was freed from the shackles of oppression that had ruled every moment of my life, becoming stronger was the only answer.
Even if you don’t give up on humanity, such as morality and ethics, you shouldn’t stop becoming stronger.
‘I see. Was he impressed? It seems he sought emotional stability while living with Baekhakgeomseon. Not so good.’
and.
━Enter the 27th floor of the Tower of Trials.
The price for not doing so was ultimately a tragedy.
Swish.
27th floor. The place where the Tower of Trials had set up a plank to subdue me as a hunting dog. There, I was looking down at the corpse of Baekhakgeomseon while being hit by the rain.
━Ah… … .
Sweet sweet.
━Master… … .
In the black and white movie, I shook the corpse of Baekhakgeomseon with both hands trembling, but there was no response at all.
The content of the 27th floor trial of the Tower of Trials was also different from mine, as the background in the black and white film resembled the martial arts world.
The story took a sharp turn again.
━Ha. It’s just a woman who died. What a brat. I’m being noisy for a brat. It’s not nice to see.
It was a face I had seen before. The leader of the martial arts world, Cheon Gang-un. It was the man I had seen at the secret garden of Baekhakgeomseon.
He looked at me in the black and white movie in front of the corpse of Baekhakgeomseon and mocked me as if I was pathetic, and then gave orders to the warriors next to him.
━Kill him. And bury him in the mountains where no one can find him. And let that lowly woman do the same───
and.
Phew!
Blood fountain. The head of the leader of the martial arts world, Cheon Gang-un, flew off and blood gushed out. The surroundings became quiet and everyone’s eyes shook.
Sigh.
What followed was a familiar story. Hundreds of unmanned people died in the night of extinction.
‘I see a lot of faces I’ve seen before.’
How many people did I kill in that black and white movie? The Heavenly Swordsman from Baekhakgeomseon’s Secret Garden also appeared.
chuck.
The nemesis of the Hwasan faction was trying to scatter the essence of Jaha’s sword by raising his sword, but was suddenly beheaded and died.
━Tsk. You’ve lost your human heart. I’ll make you regret daring to confront the volcano───
Crunch.
Dang Nak-un of Sacheon Dangga approached with a sinister smile, then died with his head cut in two.
━Heh heh. Is that the guy who used to pick up beans and eat them next to the woman from the Shandongbaekga? Well, that’s enough. I’ll kill you───
Crunch.
Namgung Su of Namgung Se-ga was sweating profusely and was just waiting for a chance to escape when his upper and lower bodies were separated and he died.
━Now, wait a minute. How about we talk? As the head of the Namgung family, I can give you a proper reward───
Crunch.
It was just instant death.
In the black and white film, I was a great master who had trained in martial arts and honed my technical skills to the max.
In the face of overwhelming power, most of the martial artists died miserably without even being able to fight three or four times.
dump.
The rain continued to fall for several days without stopping, and then I found myself back in my place in a black and white movie.
It was time to chew over the price of my foolishness in trying to find new comfort without clinging to becoming stronger.
In the black and white movie, I was hugging the corpse of Baekhakgeomseon and shaking my body as if I was crying and laughing.
Suddenly, I found myself grumbling with a sinister smile on my face, soaking wet from the rain.
━Haha. Not yet. Just climb all the way up the Tower of Trials. Then, I can save you. I can save everyone… … .
With that, the black and white film projected on the big screen transitioned into a new scene, accelerating the story.
━Died.
what.
Of course, it wasn’t a happy ending.
In the black and white movie, I had to develop necromancy to the final stage and become the ‘God of Death’, becoming strong as an ancient god without regard for the front or the back.
He was not bound by modern people’s way of thinking, such as morality or ethics, and was not picky about the means and methods he used to become stronger.
However, even though I used the ‘Simple Ascension Device’ at the end of the Tower of Trials, I was unable to reach the realm of the Transcendent.
That was it.
Chorrrr───.
The old projector’s film roll was automatically replaced, and a new story unfolded on the big screen.
━Oh─ Great─ God─! The God of Death and Infinity, am I─? … … The Destroyer of Planets─ whose name─ is─ I─?
The Red Giant. A monstrous being with three eyes. It appears on Earth in its true form and conveys its will.
━I─ have no intention─ of─ being with the god of rebirth, Dirmoa─? God of death and infinity─!
The God of Rebirth. He was an ancient deity who accepted the request of the Pantheon on the 27th floor and killed them. He was a memorable one.
━Well. Why? There’s no reason to be with someone like you. Well, the concept of divinity itself seems fine. I’ll use that.
step.
Han Seong-yoon, the ‘god of death and infinity’ who appears in black and white movies, was close to being crazy.
A great magician who uses the sacred
At some point, he too became obsessed with efficient growth and did all sorts of inhuman things.
Even the Earth was created by the one who supplied the divine power and faith to the world. In front of him, the god of creation cried and died.
However, even he could not cross the realm of ascension at the last moment.
━Died.
A new story emerges.
Chorrrr───.
━Hmm. … … I see. Are you Han Seong-yoon, the god of vision and death? My name is Baal. Also known as the Demon God.
Chorrrr───.
━As expected. … … You are too dangerous. Han Seong-yoon, the god of death and immortality. In the name of the god of light, I will seal you forever.
Chorrrr───.
━Yes. That’s right. After the death of the god of time, there are few beings who can foresee the future. However, in my eyes, the god of proof, I can see your ending. You will never ascend to heaven. God of death and reversal of the flow.
…
… … .
… … … .
Dozens, if not hundreds, of stories are shown continuously in the format of a black and white film.
The hierarchy of divinity that I reach as I climb the Tower of Trials, or the concept of divinity that is the basis of divinity, has changed many times, but the ending is always the same.
Every time, I either died without ever reaching the top of the Tower of Trials, or I was destroyed without ever reaching the top floor and never getting past the realm of ascension.
「 … … . 」
I spent about an hour buried in my seat in the audience, watching the various stories.
The death of the Iron-Blooded Monarch. Or, the death of the White Crane Swordsman. Often, one of the two causes a personality defect.
Occasionally, Catherine Bennett or Lee Ha-yeon would also take the place of that opportunity, but the frequency was noticeably lower. Now, I think I know what those black-and-white movies mean.
Chorrrr───! Chorrrr───! Chorrrr───!
The black-and-white films currently being screened in this model garden were not fictional stories woven together based on the assumption of a prediction of the future or a number of possible ‘what if’ scenarios.
It was real.
Because I am transcendent, I realized that everything is true and has already happened somewhere.
and…….
Crunch, crunch.
That was when.
“Parallel world. It’s a story about a world where the time axis and space axis are different. Unlike the God of Time or the God of Proof, it’s possible to see all kinds of possibilities and turning points.”
A familiar woman’s voice resonates, as if I’ve heard it somewhere before, and the sound of footsteps approaches.
“You know what? If you cross the horizon of thought twice, the spatial axis gets twisted, and even the time axis gets twisted. Time, space, you can stretch out to anywhere.”
chuck.
“The result is… … You see? That’s it. It is possible to see the possibility of a parallel world where the axes of space and time are misaligned, and the point of intersection. Originally, information from the outside and inside should be disconnected, but here───”
「―Yes. Because it is a sacred realm. In a world created according to your will, what importance would common sense or providence have? I know.」
I buried myself in my movie theater seat, rocking my body back and forth as I answered in a cool voice.
Squeak, squeak───.
“I’m a transcendent being. There are things I realize without intending to. For example, the reason for the existence of this singularity.”
“… … .”
“As expected. I thought you would live and not die. If there was an object or intelligence in the Tower of Trials, I thought it would be you.”
“It’s an honor. To hear such words from a Transcendent. Well, this is actually the first time I’ve met you.”
” I know. ”
Sigh.
I sat up from my movie theater seat and looked at the blonde woman in a brown one-piece dress who approached me with a cold shine in her eyes.
” long time no see. ”
It’s nothing else than… … .
“God of Creation.”
God of creation.
He is the one who started the war between the gods, created the Tower of Trials, and created the laws of creation called the System and Causality.
Here stood a dead man from the distant past who had died alongside the two ancient gods in order to create the Tower of Trials.
