## Chapter 1080 – 1080. God’S Atlantis
‘I was prepared to die once… but I thought I’d at least take an arm with me.’
That’s when it happened. A blue butterfly, out of place with the situation, fluttered in front of me.
The butterfly gently landed on my shoulder. Immediately after, my vision changed. I appeared in a place far from Balor.
“Who the hell are you?!”
Balor shouted with an annoyed voice. Seeing his thirteen eyes rolling around, it seemed he didn’t know Elena’s location. Of course, I didn’t know where Elena was either.
-I can’t step forward.
A familiar woman’s voice echoed in my ear. It was Elena.
-Unlike you, who are disguising death with that ridiculous golden mask, I have no means to disguise death. Using illusion to reveal myself is a waste of mana. I will support you in this state.
I grinned.
“If it’s your support, of all people… I can take on even a god.”
Just her presence felt like gaining a million troops. Light returned to the desperate situation.
“…First, I’ll kill the one in front of me, then find and kill the one hiding.”
Balor, who couldn’t find Elena with his thirteen eyes, approached me.
-It’s hard to move freely in a confined space.
My body floated into the sky. I felt a strange yet familiar sensation. I was clearly flying in the sky, but I felt a contradictory sensation as if I were standing on the ground. My body moved as I willed.
-In mythology, Balor died with his eyes bursting, right? Mythology is the work of gods. Eyes are Balor’s weakness.
“I know. That’s why I aimed for his eyes. Though I never succeeded.”
-Thirteen eyes. Burst all those eyes.
“…Can’t I just target the eyes on his body?”
-The other twelve eyes are all the same. If he just increased the number of eyes with magic, they wouldn’t have such power. To kill Balor, you must target all thirteen eyes.
“How annoying.”
I didn’t doubt Elena’s words. Holding the Hwaryeon Flying Daggers, I flew towards the closest eyeball. The twelve eyeballs moved and formed a circle around me. Their pupils glowed. I instinctively flinched at the motion just before they were about to shoot beams.
-Don’t stop.
Trusting Elena, I put power into the Hwaryeon Flying Daggers. Red currents of Astrape flashed along the red blades.
Kiiiiiiiiing.
Red beams shot towards me simultaneously.
A blue butterfly appeared beside me and then disappeared.
Elena’s Illusion Butterfly Technique temporarily deceived the laws of the world. It bent space, diverting all the beams aimed at me in the wrong direction.
‘First one.’
Swoosh.
I cut off one of Balor’s eyes. The split eyeball fell to the floor with a thud.
‘Right to the second one!’
I rushed towards an eyeball less than 10 meters away. The eyeball tried to escape, but I was faster.
Clang!
The Hwaryeon Flying Daggers bounced off an invisible barrier.
‘So he won’t go down easily.’
Crackling.
I increased Astrape’s output. As I used lightning beyond its limit, the mana rod began to tingle. I didn’t care. It didn’t matter if the mana rod burned out completely. I could recover later.
‘Death is right in front of me. If I hesitate even a little here, I’ll die.’
Crack crack crack!
I forcibly cut through the barrier and stabbed the eyeball with my blade. Red lightning burned the eyeball.
Eleven eyeballs remained.
I then eliminated four more eyeballs. Seven eyeballs remained. I felt my breath catching in my throat. The mana rod was also at its limit. Blood trickled from my mouth, nose, and ears. But I didn’t stop.
The iris of the targeted eyeball changed from red to purple. My body momentarily froze. I couldn’t move.
-It’s the Eye of Stasis. It’s better to deflect the stasis effect elsewhere.
Thanks to Elena’s support, my body moved again in less than three seconds. But a three-second gap was quite large. Both my legs evaporated from a beam that flew from afar.
I didn’t stop. I could fly even without legs.
Thud.
One eyeball fell. Six eyeballs remained.
-It’s a trap.
The eyeball burst. Flames engulfed my body. I was burning. By the time Elena used her Illusion Butterfly Technique to extinguish the flames, my body was already charred black. My body fell downwards.
-It’s… impossible to recover with illusion. The power of a god is imbued in your wounds. It’s no ordinary flame.
Feeling my consciousness fading, I used Complete Recovery. The charred black skin grew anew. The evaporated legs also reappeared. I, who had been falling, flew back up into the sky.
“Kuhum…. You’re more formidable than I thought.”
I heard Balor’s sigh. Even amidst that, his attacks continued. I was too busy dodging the beams. If I made a mistake, Elena would cover for me, but it was a matter of enduring a god’s attacks. There would be a limit for her too.
The five eyeballs floating in the air began to scatter in all directions. I grimaced. The distance between the eyeballs was over 10km.
“Balor. You’re being petty for a god.”
“You can be happy. It means you’ve pushed me that far.”
Balor came out shamelessly. I flew after the eyeballs. The eyeballs moved freely in the air, shooting beams at me. The eyeballs’ movements were better than before. As the number of eyeballs decreased, Balor’s control became better.
“Elena. At this rate, we’ll be the first to tire out. Is there no other way?”
-…There is. However, I’ll have to use Complete Recovery, so it might be difficult to support you.
“It’s better than collapsing from exhaustion. And this guy. He’s getting stronger as time passes. Or should I say, he’s adapting? Anyway, dragging this out will be disadvantageous for us.”
-I agree with that. …Shall we surprise the gods?
A blue butterfly appeared.
The butterfly flew in the sky. One, two, three. The number of butterflies gradually increased with each flap of their wings.
When the number of butterflies reached about a thousand, the multiplication stopped. I instinctively knew that Elena had died. And then the butterflies multiplied again.
‘She’s using Complete Recovery and then using the Illusion Butterfly Technique again.’
Ultimately, about 3,000 butterflies flew in the sky.
-For a moment. I will turn the world upside down.
Elena declared.
Thousands of butterflies simultaneously scattered and permeated the space.
The world turned upside down. To be precise, 5,485 areas were turned upside down. The ground became the sky, and the sky became the ground. It didn’t stop there; the world spun around and around. The more the world spun, the narrower it became.
The distance to Balor’s eyeballs, which were far away, was forcibly narrowed.
“…Who is helping you? This… is not something a human can do. Which god is helping you?”
Balor’s momentum was weaker than before. The power given by the invasion area had disappeared.
“That’s right. A god is helping me.”
I lied. I hoped it would complicate his mind even a little.
Crackling.
Six bolts of lightning appeared around me and began to gather.
Man-Rae (卍雷).
The rotating lightning shot bolts at the eyeballs. It pierced three eyeballs, but the remaining three eyeballs were blocked by a barrier and disappeared.
‘Three is a success. It was right to take advantage of the confusion.’
Balor summoned the two eyeballs floating in the air. The eyeballs seeped into his forehead. Three eyes glared at me.
I flew towards him. The closer I got, the less imposing his body seemed.
‘…This is also Elena’s support.’
It was probably her last help. I didn’t expect any more help than this. I gripped the Hwaryeon Flying Daggers, which had grown along with me, and ran towards Balor.
Balor’s three eyes turned purple. The Eye of Stasis. My body was restrained and paused. A victor’s smile appeared on Balor’s lips.
“That thing’s help is gone. You won’t be able to break free like before.”
That was what I was aiming for.
I activated the skill I had been saving until the very last moment.
‘Heavenly Heart (天心).’
[Heavenly Heart (天心) is activated. It lasts for 1 minute.]
I didn’t move until the right moment came. I pretended to be affected by the Eye of Stasis.
Balor reached out his hand towards my neck. Just before his huge hand was about to strangle my neck, I stabbed his large eye with my blade.
“Kueeeok! H-How…?!”
“Lightning!!”
Red currents flowed through his body. The electrocuted guy shuddered.
“I-I won’t be defeated like this…!”
The purple eye on his forehead was about to turn red again.
“Eye Poke!”
I poked his eyes with the index and middle fingers of my left hand. Thud. My fingers went deep into both eyes. Balor lost all his eyes.
“I… I, to a mere human…!!”
Balor’s huge body collapsed.
The upside-down world returned to its original place. The narrowed space widened, the ground went down to where it was supposed to be, and the sky went up. My enlarged body also shrank back to its original human size.
「The Lord of the Sky sponsors 100,000 AP.」
「The Lord of the Sky is satisfied.」
「The King of the Demonic Sky sponsors 50,000 AP.」
「The King of the Demonic Sky smacks his lips.」
「A Fallen Star sponsors 10,000 AP.
“Stupid Balor! Hahahaha!”」
「A Shining Spear sponsors 100,000 AP.」
「The Moon Hunter sponsors 100,000 AP.」
「The Adversary of the Sun sponsors 30,000 AP.」
「The Lord of Gold sponsors 30,000 AP.」
…….
Countless sponsorships poured in. Most of the divine seats I knew sponsored generously, but the unknown divine seats sponsored around 1,000 AP.
It was the price of admission. A battle between a god and a human. And it was rare for a human to win. They would not easily forget this event, even after hundreds or thousands of years.
Of course, there were also divine seats that did not sponsor.
「Light Steps laughs.」
「The Shadow Queen watches you.」
「The Moon Flower is furious.」
「The Black Pharaoh watches you.」
I ignored the messages from the divine seats. What was important was the reward. Balor’s corpse had turned to dust, but no items were left behind. I had to receive the reward from the system.
「It is a great myth that the gods of the heavens are astonished by.」
「You have acquired the title, God Slayer.」
「All stats increase by 5.」
「A total contribution of 75% has been confirmed.」
75% contribution.
If it weren’t for Elena’s help, it wouldn’t have been Balor who died, but me.
「Another conqueror has given up their contribution.」
「A total contribution of 100% has been confirmed.」
‘Did Elena give up? Elena… I don’t know where she is.’
「You can choose three rewards.」
「1. Balor’s Eye (SS)」
「2. Constellation Creation.」
「3. All stat increase, 1 SSS rank up ticket」
First of all, number 1 is a dud.
Balor’s Eye. It’s a cheat-like eyeball, but there’s no way the system would easily give away Balor’s authority. It would be nerfed at least five times.
‘An SSS rank up ticket is something that’s not easy to get, but… it’s less than constellation creation. You can only get a constellation by achieving feats that would appear in myths that astonish the gods. If Elena hadn’t given up, it wouldn’t have appeared as an option.’
I didn’t know when this opportunity would come again.
I chose number 2.
「Think of a constellation that symbolizes you.」
「The effect will be determined by the shape of the constellation.」
‘Hmm. A lightning constellation?’
「It is an already existing constellation.」
‘…I guess. Atlantis has been through 8 rounds. Since constellations don’t reset… it’s not strange that it still exists. To gain an advantage as a Heavenly Demon… hmm. Does a demon constellation exist?’
「It exists.」
‘…….’
「Are you sure you want to choose this constellation?」
‘All the constellations I want are already existing constellations. Let’s proceed with this.’
「Really. Are you really sure you want to choose this constellation?」
「The constellation cannot be changed later.」
「You can postpone the choice and think about it slowly.」
‘I’ve already decided.’
「…A new constellation is engraved in the sky of Atlantis.」
For some reason, it felt like the system sighed. It was probably just my imagination. There was no way the system would do that.
Sparkle sparkle.
A new constellation appeared in the blue sky.
Light emerged between the shining stars, drawing lines. With this, the residents of Atlantis would have realized that a new constellation had appeared.
‘The brightest star there is the clitoris. Below that, the labia minora, the urethra… and the vaginal opening. It’s perfectly implemented. Anyone can tell it’s a pussy.’
「A constellation symbolizing you has been engraved in the sky.」
「You have acquired the title, Guardian of the Pussy.」
「All stats increase by 5.」
「You have acquired the skill, Blessing of the Pussy Constellation (S).」
「Blessing of the Pussy Constellation
You have an advantage in compatibility when facing women.
You temporarily gain a buff when having sexual relations with a woman.
You can bestow the Blessing of the Pussy Constellation on a woman once a month.
Type: Constellation Blessing
Rank: S」
‘I like it.’
「Numerous divine seats are astonished.」
「The Lord of the Sky feels awe towards you.」
「The King of the Demonic Sky bursts into laughter.」
