Special Dungeon Map, Divine Constellation Brahma.
The participating players include Yoon Seah, Sophia, and
Can I really join too?
Of course.
This time, it was Masied who participated in the Promotion Match.
Im getting more and more indebted to the owner Ill dedicate my bones to Daegi guild. As long as Im not kicked out that is.
Whod kick out an SSS-rank Mage?
Masied, possessing the Gift God of Soccer.
He now had a completely different, neat appearance compared to before.
Unlike during his Bronze and Silver days, he was now confidently recognized as one of the worlds most promising talents.
He was also gaining popularity on BattleTube with his unique soccer ball concept.
While his home country Argentina was now trying to bring him back by any means,
He doesnt want to go himself.
Seong Jihan inadvertently felt apologetic towards Argentina.
If things went as usual, the wandering Masied wouldve had his enlightenment in his hometown after a few more years of wandering, but
Perhaps because Seong Jihan had told him about the Arachne Orb this time.
Even when administrators from Argentina came to persuade him to return.
-I cant go back. I have to repay Seong Jihan.
Masieds attitude was resolute.
Dont you miss your family? You said youd reunite after becoming successful.
Thats why Im trying to bring them to Korea.
Ah Is that so?
Masieds whole family, including his wife and children, were residing in Argentina. Even though Seong Jihan thought he would go back to see them, Masied seemed to be planning to bring his family to Korea instead.
Hed gain citizenship immediately if I told him to.
If even Masied gained Korean citizenship, theyd have the strongest lineup except for Supporters.
Even though it would be a complete dream team.
No, even if Masied isnt here, well be number one anyway.
Adding Yoon Seah, who is growing rapidly, to the lineup of Seong Jihan and the Sword King in the upcoming season, Korea would be number one anyway.
In this situation, there was no need to forcibly bring in foreign talents and cause innocent victims in Argentina due to his own actions.
Mr. Masied, sorry about the promotion match.
Whats there to be sorry about?
I shot you a few arrows while hiding. It was a bit fatal, wasnt it?
During the promotion match, Barren, Wang Lin, and Masied were engaged in a fierce battle.
Yoon Seah, who appeared from the veil of void, shot arrows annoyingly and eventually Masied fell for that tactic, finishing second in the promotion match.
So her BattleTube was bombarded by American, Chinese, and Argentinian netizens.
But Masied himself didnt look bothered at all.
Nothing nasty about BattleNet. Its just efficient combat.
Hehehe, right?
Yoon Seahs BattleTube received terrorism from three countries: America, China, and Argentina.
However, the party with Seong Jihan, including Masied, faced a hurdle as soon as they entered the map.
Is there nothing here?
Except for Seong Jihan, the three came here to level up. But there were no monsters to defeat.
The only thing there was
Ah, thats the thing from Uncles broadcast.
The path illuminated the dim floor, reminiscent of the Thunder Path from the Divine Constellations Throne map. During the promotion match on that map, the endless Thunder Path was a challenge. When they failed to reach the Divine Throne , the remaining 7 survivors fell into the temple, and the game ended after the chaotic rampage of the Constellation of the Dead Star.
Is that the Throne of the Divine Constellation? Its magnificent.
Despite looking reachable with Thunder Steps from afar,
He failed to close the distance until the games end.
Do we have to walk that path?
It wont be easy.
While the other party members, excluding Seong Jihan, were contemplating how to break through the Thunder Path,
Zzzz
The floors current flashed intensely.
[Youve arrived faster than expected.]
From the current, a dignified voice flowed.
Perhaps for reaching the Throne of the Divine Constellation, instead of sending a system message, Brahma directly conveyed his message.
[Who are these three beggars?]
Oh, we just came to level up.
[Ha, how ridiculous. Leveling up at the Throne of the Divine Constellation]
Its a special dungeon. Is that not allowed?
[.]
In response to Seong Jihans words, the current crackled.
Something slowly rose from the Thunder Path.
[Get rid of these beggars. You come quickly. Turn off BattleTube before you come.]
What Brahma summoned was a massive humanoid form made of the Thunder.
In appearance, it was plain, with only the currents sparking.
What is this?
[Its the remnant of the vanished Thunder God.]
The vanished Thunder God?
[Youve seen it right in front of your eyes.]
Oh, Zeus.
Listening and watching, it did resemble Zeus in size, but only in body size.
In terms of lightning power, it looked much weaker than the original god.
Still, it might be challenging for the three who had just become Platinum.
Is there something weaker?
[Thats the weakest.]
Hmm
Should they fight it together?
While Seong Jihan was contemplating for a moment, Yoon Seah spoke.
Uncle, you go first. Well try to take it down ourselves.
Right. We cant rely on care forever. Lets challenge it ourselves.
Yes, Jihan. Just give us the Phoenix Flag buff.
Seong Jihan nodded as he looked at the three who were ready to fight.
Right, I cant keep spoon feeding them forever.
Understood.
Seong Jihan planted the Phoenix Flag to give the buff then
Used Thunder Steps to follow the Thunder path.
Since he personally invited me this time, following the path should lead me to the throne.
It was a completely different situation from the promotion match. Seong Jihans thought was reasonable.
However, after running for 30 minutes like that,
What the heck?
The Thunder Path seemed endless, and the end was not in sight, unlike last time.
* * *
The path is same?
Seong Jihan asked, thinking Brahma was listening, but
[.]
No response came from him.
Hey, whys he being like this when he was urging me to come quickly earlier?
Is he telling me to figure it out on my own?
Seong Jihan stopped using the skill and pondered. Continuing to run like this was a pointless situation. He needed to find a way to reach the Divine Throne somehow.
Should I go towards that darkness?
Next to the Thunder path, there was a dim space. As Seong Jihan approached, it repelled him like a solid wall. An impassable darkness.
But Seong Jihan, realizing that following the Thunder path wouldnt lead to a solution, took out his spear.
Nameless divine art, Fusion of Divine thunder and phoenix Crimson Thunder cannon
Zi-zi-zik!
As the crimson lightning pierced through, the darkness began to crumble bit by bit. However, as soon as one hole appeared, the darkness wall instantly restored its original form.
-Geu-eu-eu
Occasionally, eerie sounds that sent shivers down the spine echoed.
Hmm
If following the Thunder path wasnt the answer, he had to find a way through this wall. Thinking so, Seong Jihan took out his spear and walked along the wall.
After about fifteen minutes of walking,
This place is a bit different.
Unlike just before, he could find a slightly indented wall. And this place,
Especially strong currents in the Thunder path.
It also emitted a powerful aura from the Thunder path.
Seong Jihan fired another Crimson Thunder Cannon towards this place.
-Geu-eu-eu
A massive groaning sound echoed, and the sky and the ground shook.
And when the vibration stopped,
Oh, the distance to the throne
The distance to the throne had shrunk a bit.
Hitting the wall where the electricity is strong narrowed the distance.
Having found the method, Seong Jihan continued searching for dented areas of the wall.
Rumble!
And so, after the earth shook over ten times,
It gradually narrowed the distance to the throne.
But its still not the end.
The narrowing distance was still too short. At this rate, it would take a hundred or even a thousand times to completely close the gap.
I cant keep wasting time here.
Instead of the pathbreaking method, Seong Jihan sought a new approach.
The things making up this wall, they seem like resentful spirits
The wailing sounds when striking the wall were like vengeful spirits shrieks.
And if these were really spirits.
He had the optimal martial art for that, Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods.
Inventory.
He took out two swords from his inventory.
S-rank swords bought to use Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods.
He crossed the two swords and Eclipse before stabbing them into the wall of darkness.
Nameless Divine Arts, Annihilation Gods Secret Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods.
Swish
A small pattern was drawn on the wall of darkness.
The pattern of Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods, slightly bigger than when confining Shizurus soul.
But compared to the giant wall of darkness, it was only the size of a fingernail.
To anyone looking, it seemed like a pattern that could be swallowed by darkness.
Crack!
Even the two S-rank swords stabbed for Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods broke.
This attempt at the martial art seemed to have failed.
But as the pattern of Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods slowly spun,
It seems more complete than last time.
A smile appeared on Seong Jihans face.
-Geu-eu-eu
-Liberation is it
Rather than the darkness devouring, it was the pattern of Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods.
The massive wall of darkness was sucked into Myriad Ghost Sealing Gods instantly.
Unlike when using the Crimson Thunder Cannon where it quickly regenerated,
The collapsed wall remained collapsed this time.
And
Rumble!
The distance to the throne shrank tremendously, incomparable to earlier.
[As expected.]
And
Brahma, who had been silent since walking the path of the Thunder Waves, opened his mouth.
[Truly a fearsome sealing formation. To be able to destroy part of the spirit wall with that level of power. If your strength was greater, perhaps all the spirits couldve been sucked in.]
Do you have any information about this?
[Rumors Ive heard The Constellation that hunts Constellations, The Wandering Martial God, has an absolute sealing formation that can even bind souls. Isnt that what you just used?]
There was no Constellation who didnt know about the Wandering Martial God.
As Seong Jihan slowly nodded,
[Ill definitely need The Crimson Thunder .]
A golden portal opened in front of the Thunder path.
[Come. Any more tests are meaningless now.]
***
Entering the portal Brahma personally opened,
Seong Jihan could finally get close to the Divine Constellations Throne he saw from afar.
Thats Brahma
Brahma, fitting of the massive Constellation, was so huge that Seong Jihan was only the size of his toenail in comparison.
But what grabbed his gaze wasnt Brahmas enormous size,
But his bodys composition itself.
All sorts of things gathered
On Brahmas body made of electricity, all kinds of faces were congregated.
From humanoid appearances to all sorts of beast faces.
Tens of thousands of faces were gazing at Seong Jihan together.
The chimeras from before were purity itself compared to this.
The body of the Brahma was chaos itself.
Whys there so many?
[I am the composite of Thunder Gods. Some of your planets gods are included among the 77,000 Thunder Gods.]
Like Zeus?
[Yes Zeus, who was absorbed recently, was also part of me.]
All gods bearing the concept of Thunder God gathered together.
No wonder hes so powerful.
Brahma, possessing an intense presence beyond any other existence he had seen so far.
Seong Jihan could instantly grasp why he received special treatment among the Constellations the moment he saw him.
Even one Zeus was formidable, let alone 77,000 combined.
Seong Jihan gazed at Brahma then brought up the main topic.
So, why do you need the Crimson Thunder?
[Thats.]
Tzitzizi!
Electricity erupted around Seong Jihan.
Lightning blocking the gazes of the 77,000 Thunder gods.
Then amidst the wall of electricity, the face of a lion suddenly popped out.
Seong Jihan instinctively knew this was his conversation partner until now.
Hes the leader among the 77,000 Thunder Gods.
The blue lightnings lion, seemingly the most powerful among the countless Thunder Gods.
Didnt know why he had to make a wall to talk when he could just speak openly, but
Seong Jihan waited for his response.
And
[To escape from here, to live.]
From the majestic lion, he heard an unexpected answer.
