## Chapter 297 – 297. God’S Atlantis
297. God’s Atlantis
“The King of the Demonic Sky proposes to the system!”
“The King of the Demonic Sky proposes to the system!”
“The King of the Demonic Sky proposes to the system!”
“The system is reviewing the proposal.”
“Considering the special circumstances, the system temporarily accepts the proposal of the King of the Demonic Sky.”
“The King of the Demonic Sky is attempting to grant you power. Do you refuse?”
The purpose of the proposal the King of the Demonic Sky made to the system was obvious. To give me power in a legitimate way with the system’s permission.
‘If I move while ignoring the system, the King of the Demonic Sky will also be sanctioned without exception.’
To avoid sanctions, he made some kind of proposal to the system, and the system accepted it.
However, when the situation actually came, I felt uneasy.
‘Is this bastard trying to pull another trick?’
It was unsettling. I couldn’t trust the King of the Demonic Sky at all. I didn’t want to either.
But the situation was urgent. The gigantic Anubis was getting closer and closer to me.
“…King of the Demonic Sky! Are you perhaps planning to pull another trick this time?!”
So I asked him directly.
“The King of the Demonic Sky shakes his head.”
“This time, I will simply help you.”
“I am a divine seat that has a contract with you.”
It seemed like he was saying that he was a contracted divine seat and that I should trust him. Of course, I didn’t believe those words at face value.
“If you try to pull another trick this time, you’ll get nothing.”
“The King of the Demonic Sky says he can swear on his name.”
“What is your name?”
“The King of the Demonic Sky says he is the King of the Demonic Sky.”
“……I will accept the power of the King of the Demonic Sky.”
“The power of the King of the Demonic Sky is temporarily granted to you.”
Ssssssssss.
An eerie wind blew.
I felt power surging within my body. It was the Demonic Qi of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.
‘I can’t control the Demonic Qi… There’s too much!’
It was power that far exceeded my control range.
‘Damn it! Did I get tricked by the King of the Demonic Sky again… or not?’
The uncontrollable Demonic Qi didn’t attack me. Rather, it enveloped and strengthened my body. A dark aura was flowing out of my body.
“The rank of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art (S) temporarily rises to SSS rank.”
“The rank of the Heavenly Demon Body (A) temporarily rises to SSS rank.”
I was elated by the tremendous power that exceeded my imagination. I didn’t know exactly how strong I had become. However, Anubis, who was walking towards me, looked pathetic.
I raised my right fist. Dark Demonic Qi gathered in my fist.
The amount of Demonic Qi exploding out of my body like lava from a volcano exceeded my control range. That was certain. But the destructive Demonic Qi didn’t rampage at all and moved as I wanted.
It was as if someone had already ordered the Demonic Qi to obey my commands.
I threw my fist at Anubis.
Heavenly Demon Divine Art, Dragon Fist.
A dragon larger than my body shot out. The black dragon annihilated all the mummies in front of it and collided with Anubis’s torso.
Kwaaaaaaaang!
A deafening roar echoed. However, Anubis only took a few steps back and didn’t suffer much damage.
‘It has an effect. He’s injured. I think I can kill him if I hit him about five more times.’
“The Cycle of Life and Death uses its power.”
“The power of the Cycle of Life and Death (Pseudo) grows stronger.”
Anubis’s wounds disappeared. Not only that, but Anubis’s body grew even larger. He was already 25 meters tall.
If one floor is 3 meters high, it can be said to be the size of an 8-story apartment building.
I glared at him and was about to clench my fist again to attack when a question suddenly arose.
“Cycle of Life and Death! Why are you trying to kill me so badly?!”
Since it was obvious that the divine seat wouldn’t answer, I asked Anubis’s Cycle of Life and Death.
“The Cycle of Life and Death speaks to you.”
“I have been watching you since you entered Area 8,111.”
Come to think of it, when I entered Area 8,111, a message popped up that he was watching me.
I had forgotten about it because no messages related to him had appeared since then.
“You were watching me? And? I haven’t done anything wrong!”
I broke through the traps and killed the divine seat. This is just the process of a proper strategy. I have never committed any wrongdoing. The fact that the system is not sanctioning me is clear evidence.
“I watched you and made a judgment.”
“Your strength, your knowledge, your personality, your sins.”
“As a result of combining all of that, you will bring a great disaster to this Atlantis!”
“You crazy bastard. Can you see the future or something? Huh?”
There are divine seats with the power to see the future. But in the world of Atlantis, that power is greatly restricted. Because of the existence of the system and other divine seats.
One of the reasons for the existence of this Atlantis is the games of the gods. Revealing the future is a kind of spoiler. It wouldn’t be very welcome to the divine seats who enjoy the games.
‘As far as I know, the Cycle of Life and Death doesn’t have the power to see the future.’
Even if he did have such power, the power to see the future is not absolute.
Because the moment you observe the future, the possibility of changing to another future arises.
“Ammut could not bear your sins.”
“Even if it is a divine seat, Ammut is a god who measures sins.”
“Even if it is a sinner who destroys a nation, Ammut cannot be made to explode and die.”
“But Ammut died because he could not bear your sins.”
“This means that you will commit sins that will at least ruin a continent. Perhaps not only this continent, but other worlds may be ruined because of you.”
“There are good people living on this continent. I cannot let you ruin their lives. Even if this continent is a gambling board for the gods, they are people who deserve to be saved.”
I swung my fist.
Heavenly Demon Divine Art, Dragon Fist.
Kwaaaang!
Anubis’s body staggered from the blow.
“So, that means you don’t like me. Good. I don’t like you either.”
Anubis reached out his hand to me.
Purple flames rose around me. They were flames of tremendous firepower that could turn mummies into ashes in less than a second. But the flames couldn’t burn the Demonic Qi flowing from my body.
“The Cycle of Life and Death shouts.”
“System! Do not stop me! Don’t you know that all of this is for Atlantis, and furthermore, for other worlds!”
“The system warns the Cycle of Life and Death! The rules must be followed!”
“King of the Demonic Sky! Are you really going to support this human! This human is someone who can bring about the destruction of the world! He must be eliminated here!”
“The King of the Demonic Sky chuckles.”
“Lord of the Sky! Aren’t you a benevolent god who protects the world! Why are you just watching!”
“The Lord of the Sky scoffs at the Cycle of Life and Death.”
“Divine seats who are watching this human! How long are you going to just watch!”
“The Fallen Star sticks out its tongue and makes a face.”
“The Moon Flower is pathetic.”
“The Golden Collector is coveting the golden mask.”
“The Opponent of the Sun is silent.”
“How pathetic.”
I chuckled. The Cycle of Life and Death had just asked the divine seats for cooperation. I could only think that he felt he was lacking in killing me.
And the divine seats didn’t seem to have any intention of helping Anubis.
Anubis, who was close enough to touch, swung a huge staff at me.
Heavenly Demon Divine Art, Heavenly Demon Sovereign Step.
I dominate the earth, and I take the sky as my domain. Therefore, I reign over the world.
When I took one step forward, I appeared in front of Anubis’s head and stood in the air. It was a different dimension from moving quickly. I literally moved through space.
Heavenly Demon Divine Art, Silent Void.
I hit Anubis on the bridge of his nose. A huge explosion occurred, and Anubis fell to the ground. As Anubis fell, he swung his staff at me.
I took a step in the air. My body appeared above the fallen Anubis’s head.
“Goodbye.”
It was the moment I was about to smash Anubis’s head.
“The Cycle of Life and Death uses its power.”
“The system suppresses the Cycle of Life and Death.”
“Cough!”
An unknown force struck my abdomen. That powerful force was enough to send me flying into the sky. I bit my lip to endure the dizziness that was about to overwhelm me. Using the Heavenly Demon Sovereign Step, I stood straight in the sky and looked down at Anubis. Blood gushed out of my mouth, but my body was fine.
‘Did the Cycle of Life and Death intervene directly? I suffered internal injuries, but they healed immediately. Is it thanks to the power of the King of the Demonic Sky?’
Heavenly Demon Divine Art, Demonic Dragon Orb.
A black orb appeared on my palm. I put Demonic Qi into the black orb. The black orb was very greedy. It had absorbed more than 90% of the Demonic Qi I currently possessed, but it showed no signs of stopping.
‘This is enough.’
I dropped the orb down. Below, Anubis, who had already risen from his spot, threw his staff at me.
The falling black orb and the huge 30-meter staff collided.
The staff couldn’t even push back the black orb, let alone shatter it. Rather, the staff cracked and was destroyed.
And then the orb fell on Anubis and exploded. Seven demonic dragons made of Demonic Qi appeared from within the black orb. The demonic dragons tore and ripped apart Anubis’s huge body.
When Anubis disappeared into light, the demonic dragons also vanished.
“The Cycle of Life and Death is furious.”
“The system banishes the Cycle of Life and Death from Atlantis.”
‘Banished. I won’t see the Cycle of Life and Death again.’
I used the Heavenly Demon Sovereign Step to descend to the ground.
“The power of the King of the Demonic Sky disappears.”
“The ranks of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art and the Heavenly Demon Body return to their original state.”
I lightly shook off any lingering attachment to the power.
After all, this was not my power from the beginning. There was not much regret. It was the power of the King of the Demonic Sky, so it was rather unsettling.
‘The collapse of this space is also starting. I’ll be back in three minutes.’
I looked around. My purpose was to find the item that Anubis, the divine seat, left behind when he died.
It was nearby, so it wasn’t difficult to find.
It was a black cross shape with a round ring at the top.
‘In the original story, Anubis’s staff came out… It’s the same as with Ammut.’
The moment I grabbed it with my right hand, it rushed onto my hand and was absorbed. I was startled and shook my right hand, but it was already too late. Its black pattern was engraved on the back of my hand.
The pattern on the back of my right hand became blurry and then disappeared. But when I wanted the pattern to appear, it reappeared.
‘It doesn’t seem dangerous. I’m wearing the golden mask, so curses won’t work. Can I check the information?’
“Black Ankh
Resurrects from death once.
Rank: SS”
‘So this is an extra life.’
It’s much better than Anubis’s staff, which I wouldn’t be able to use anyway. It means that even if I suddenly die in an accident, I will have one more chance.
‘It’s a shame it’s not in the form of an item. If I strengthen it with the Light Ascension Technique later, it might become a two-time resurrection…’
At that time. I felt a strange gaze.
“The Black Pharaoh is looking at you.”
“The King of the Demonic Sky becomes serious.”
“The Lord of the Sky is wary.”
“The Black Pharaoh has left.”
‘Black Pharaoh?’
It was a divine seat I had never heard of before.
Looking at the reactions of the King of the Demonic Sky and the Lord of the Sky, it seemed that he was not a mediocre divine seat like the Cycle of Life and Death.
‘The reason he suddenly appeared… Is he a divine seat related to the Black Ankh?’
Perhaps the owner of the Black Ankh is the Black Pharaoh.
“Honey!”
Kasha was calling me from afar and running towards me. But before she could reach me, the space shattered. Kasha, Ahmad, the thieves, and I returned to the inside of the original pyramid’s summit.
There was nothing in the room inside the stone door except for an old throne.
“You have obtained control of Area 8,111, the Mountain of the Setting Sun.”
“The title ‘Pharaoh’ is granted.”
“Strength, Stamina, and Mana stats increase by 1.”
“You have acquired 30,000 AP.”
“As the ruler of the Mountain of the Setting Sun, you will acquire 13,000 AP every 30 days.”
“A hidden area conquest completion bonus is granted.”
