Longinus looked at Dongbangsak in disbelief.
"You are of the same race as the god of war... … Are you saying that Seong Jihan is not a human but a god?"
"It's a god race… … ."
Dongbangsak stroked his beard.
"God race is an ambiguous concept to define as one thing. Among the races on Battle.net, those who are at the transcendental level are usually called gods. "There are humanoid gods, and there are many strange-looking gods."
"That's true, but… … "Don't the gods have something in common?"
"It's something the gods have in common. "What is that?"
"These are people who have been recognized as 'gods' on Battle.net."
Battle.net in space, where various races participate.
Here, in order to be classified as a god, it had to be officially recognized by Battle.net.
Before that, no matter how powerful a race was, they could not be classified as gods.
"Battle.net's recognition… … That's right. Before that, no matter how strong the race was, they were only half-gods. And it is clear that Musin is a god recognized by Battle.net."
"Then I guess the Holy Land is also a divine tribe?"
"No, not really."
"… … "Didn't you say that you are a compatriot of the God of War?"
Let's ask Longinus as if he was talking about something.
Pop.
Dongbangsak plucked out a strand of his beard.
"If you are a god, you cannot participate in the Space League or Bronze. Aren't the levels different? "I wouldn't have been able to come out as a member of the human race."
"That's right, but… … ."
Then why did you call them co-ethnics?
Around the time Longinus looked at Dongbangsak in confusion.
Ssssssssssssssssshh… … .
Smoke rose from the broken beard.
Then the smoke floated in the air, drawing the Chinese character Dongbangsak.
"The reason I said he was my compatriot is because he saw the letters of Shinsal."
"Shinsal's… … Letters?"
"okay. Because your avatar was absorbed into the Spear of Godslaughter and disappeared. I may not have seen the scene at that time in detail, but... … He was clearly staring at something in the smoke in the window. Just like what God of War did."
Longinus' expression became serious.
He was well aware of the purple letters coming out of Shinsal's spear.
Because I was given permission to use the spear by the god of war, it came out every time I used it.
In the past, I tried to completely memorize the meaning and shape of this letter and try to interpret it.
Even though I searched through texts from all over the world, I couldn't find anything related to this.
Furthermore, I gave up because I couldn't interpret it even with Battle.net's translation system.
Only martial arts.
Only Mushin recognized these letters... … .
"… … That's amazing. I can't believe I'm reading a text that only the God of War can see. But isn't it too hasty to regard them as compatriots?"
"When I use the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, aren't there times when the same letters as yours come out?"
Longinus nodded.
The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams of Dongbangsak, the form before the martial god improved it into the Ten Thousand Demons and Gods.
Even when I used it, unusual characters like the spear of Godslaughter came to mind.
"At that time, the god of war once recited that this was the clan's script."
"It's a clan… … "Did you assume that we were of the same race because of that alone?"
"okay. The evidence is weak. So it's still a guess. One, the martial spirit was given to him... … "He and the god of war are clearly closely related."
"Uhm… … That's true, but... … ."
A clan letter.
Seeing Longinus making a puzzled face, he stroked his beard.
"Seong Ji-han. We need to make good use of that guy. If you find out the meaning of the letters through him... … "Wouldn't we be able to find a clue related to our 'stolen karma'?"
"hmm… … ."
"So, just because the Godslaughter Spear is blocked, don't come down to Earth and try to kill him."
"That's too much. What do you think of me... … ! "I'm not the person to take revenge on something like that."
"okay? "Then I'm glad."
Dongbangsak looked at the ceiling.
The stopper of the large gourd was shaking slightly.
"I can't hide anymore. "Let's go out and see."
"All right."
Pong!
When the stopper opens, two people fly up the opened hole.
'Seong Ji-han can read texts... … .'
Longinus was behind Dongbangsak, lost in thought with a complicated face.
* * *
Void Training Ground.
As soon as Seong Ji-han arrived home, he went straight into this place.
In fact, entering the training ground could also be done at the Battle.net Center.
'The training may take a few days, but it's just there.'
Even if I was given 5.5 times more time at the training center, I didn't know when the training would end.
He chose to return home and enter the training center in peace.
'The feeling of being pierced by the spear of divine death. 'I have to make it mine quickly before I forget it.'
The spear of divine death manifested by Longinus.
When it was inserted into the body, the internal movement was quite refreshing to Seong Ji-han.
The soullessness and emptiness that moved in such a unique way that the pain felt when the body disappeared did not bother me.
'In the beginning… … 'Did you do it like this?'
Seong Ji-han tried to follow the flow from before.
[A record of recently played battles remains.] [Do you want to use the replay function?]My eyes lit up when I saw the system message.
'It's a replay… … There was this function.'
The Void Training Ground obtained after the promotion battle.
The replay function was not activated immediately after obtaining it.
Perhaps because I played the game once after that, it seemed like this feature had been unlocked.
"use."
The best way to study is reviewing.
Let's say Seong Ji-han tries to use replay.
[This data cannot be saved with the current replay slot.] [Would you like to upgrade the replay slot to the highest level?] [1 million achievement points are consumed to upgrade the slot.]'1 million?'
1 million achievement points.
This is the figure paid when opening the training ground in the other side of the world.
But why does it cost this much to upgrade replay storage?
Seong Ji-han was dumbfounded.
'… … Still, there are still a lot of achievement points left. Think of it as an investment.'
If you upgrade the slot, this won't go anywhere.
Seong Ji-han boldly invested 1 million.
OK.
[Today's battle record has been saved in the replay slot.] [The player can play the battle record from the player's own first-person perspective and from the third-person perspective shown by the Battle.net camera.]The battle records of games 1 and 4 in which Seong Ji-han participated were saved.
'This interface is similar to the Battle Tube editing screen... … .'
Seong Ji-han knows how to edit Battle Tube to some extent, thanks to his experience in his last life.
He cut out the skilfully stored records of the battle.
'There's nothing important about the first game scene... … .'
What is most important is the moment when I was stabbed by the spear of Godslaughter.
Seong Ji-han decided to delete the record for game 1 and focus only on replaying game 4.
'In the third person perspective... … 'I couldn't remember that letter.'
Third-person mode from the viewer's perspective.
There, the letters rising from the Spear of Longinus did not appear.
Seong Ji-han gets hit by a spear and his body gets ripped open.
No matter how slow I set the playback speed, it went on in an instant.
'That doesn't help much. This mode.'
After completing the inspection of third-person mode, Seong Ji-han entered first-person mode in earnest.
Sigh!
The spear is stuck in the cross. Let the smoke rise.
[Target condition, partial match.] [Extinction code expression.]There, letters that were not visible in the third person came to mind.
I couldn't figure out where the letters were coming from.
Strangely enough, the content is understandable.
'Hoo, in replay mode, play, stop. speed control. 'Everything is possible.'
Seong Ji-han paused the replay and looked at the text for a moment.
This time, I slowed down the playback speed and reviewed with my body how the Spear of Godslaughter works.
'this… … It was worth a million.'
The more times you turn it at a slower speed.
Seong Ji-han learns more about the Spear of Shinsal one by one.
At first, I wondered why I had to spend 1 million achievement points on some replay mode.
The more I learned about the Godslaughter Spear, the more I thought it was cheap.
'Because it plays slowly, the pain sensation lasts for a long time, but it's annoying.'
By slowing down regeneration, pain sensation lasts for a long time.
However, because the senses could not be blocked, Seong Ji-han tried to find an answer even in the midst of repeated pain.
'Extinction code appears… … 'This method is unique.'
The extinction code of the Godslaughter Spear that joins with the void and suppresses the martial spirit.
But before finding the void inside Seong Ji-han's body.
When piercing the Iron Blood Cross, there was no void to join the Spear of Godslaughter.
Then, what was the effect that destroyed the sturdy Iron Blood Cross at once?
'Let's play it slower.'
Starting point of the stabbing.
Seong Ji-han went back to that point and ran the replay more slowly.
'I can't figure it out like this.'
Even more slowly.
Seong Ji-han watched the entire process of being stabbed by a spear more than a hundred times.
I continued to feel it with my body.
If it weren't for the replay mode, information that would have been missed came in one by one and I started to piece together the puzzle.
'From the moment the spear was inserted, a strange flow occurred inside the cross.'
'When the extinction code was activated, there was a response from within the Iron Blood Cross.'
'The basis of the Iron Blood Cross is soullessness. The extinction code is… … 'It ignited the soulless spirit at its source.'
A flame that instantly consumed the martial soul and disappeared.
It was only possible to detect it for a moment after lowering the playback speed to the maximum.
'When the target condition partially matched, a void appeared for a moment.'
'That became the fuel that burned the martial soul of the cross... … .'
The starting point that removed the Iron Blood Cross and made it penetrate Seong Ji-han's body.
It was a flame of void that bloomed through the manifestation of the extinction code.
It ignites instantly.
A void fire that went out in an instant and was not noticed until it regenerated at the slowest speed.
'this… … 'Can I use it too?'
Seong Ji-han's eyes sparkled.
If he can utilize it, this could be his most powerful weapon.
Seong Ji-han finished playing like that.
'Should I use it like this?'
'no. This is a waste. From target conditions… … .'
'Extinction code. I'll have to watch it again.'
In order to actually use the Void Flame, it took countless trials and errors.
and.
February 11th.
"hmm… … ."
Seong Ji-han, who had been in the Void Training Center for over 50 days,
"… … "This wasn't the original goal."
At the tip of the Phoenix flag's spear.
I blinked as I watched the red lightning bloom even more intensely.
The original goal was to deal with the Void Flame.
'Red lightning… … 'Is it complete?'
A completely unexpected result emerged.
I just mixed in incomplete red lightning to somehow light up the flame of the void... … .
'No, Raijin might think differently.'
In Seong Ji-han's opinion, it was a completed red bomb.
From the perspective of the God of Lightning, there may still be many shortcomings.
After Seong Ji-han left the training center to receive confirmation, he logged into the game and entered the Thunder God's New Throne map.
"Rain God, I brought red lightning."
This is how the red lightning was introduced.
[Hoooo… … ! This level of perfection... … ]"Are you done?"
[enough! Suffice!]I immediately received a passing grade from Raijin.
