The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 219

[You all probably know why we gathered here. It is because the monsters that were supposed to be summoned from the door disappeared because of someone.]

Unlike before, the phases gathered in the shadow corridor did not cover their faces.

Because there was no need to hide anymore.

[It was a fair test. Because I gave up the benefits of status and took the exam.]

[I’m not saying the exam is the problem. The problem is the number of monsters summoned for the test.]

[To summon all the remaining six of the seven serpent incarnations for the test. Are you sane? That’s the same thing as pushing forward seven doors!]

Yor didn’t change his expression even in the face of complaints, but instead smiled and answered.

[so? Have I broken any rules? My revelator took the test properly and passed the test.]

[But…!!!]

[But what? If you want, wouldn’t you be able to ask the Revelators to take the test? Well, I don’t know how many of them will come back alive.]

[Pfft…]

The Aspects could not refute his answer.

[To get something, you have to pay a price. My revelator took on the danger and came back alive, so he received a worthy reward.]

[But because of you, the festival was ruined. If you reorganize the order excluding the monsters that disappeared through the test, the difficulty level becomes too high.]

[Yes, the boss of the next door is now a black dragon. It is a monster that can only be killed with the fifteen poison knives that can be obtained by hunting Ouroboros.]

[However, due to the test, Ouroboros disappeared, but no poison knives remain. What are you going to do with the next door right now?]

[You put all the carnival participants in danger for the convenience of your Revelator!]

As the

corners of Yor’s mouth rose, the Aspects looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

[What’s funny?]

[Don’t try to get over it like that. We can’t open and close the door at will. If the door opens without a way to deal with the black dragon, there will be chaos.]

[Isn’t that okay?]

[…What?]

[What on earth do you guys think Carnival is?]

Yor slowly got up from his seat and was in the center of the hall. walked to

[After all, it’s a festival….]

Grumbling…!!!

Black smoke rose in front of him.

[The more noisy the fuss, the merrier.]

The Aspects frowned as they looked at a person who appeared with black smoke.

“It looks like this. It’s my first time seeing a face properly, but I can recognize who is who. “There’s no need to say hello again, right?”

[You guy…]

[I guess I have to give up on the status of the Shadow Corridor. When you’re bored, humans come to you.]

The Aspects looked at Namgung who was waving his hands and clicked their tongues.

[What brought you here again?]

“To help. “It looks like he’s having a hard time because of me.”

[Aspects receive help from humans? You are saying something absurd.]

“You need a winner of the carnival, but it is also your mission to complete the carnival safely. “Are you going to kill all the participants like this?”

[This is all because of you…!!]

[Let’s listen to his story for a moment. To be honest, none of our Revelators can compete with him anymore. If we don’t want to instigate a fight, we should find a way to live together.]

Namgung raised his head.

The fragrant smell of grass filled the area around the woman who supported him.

“Thank you for giving me the opportunity. Widow of Thornvine.”

[I really appreciate it. Although she lost the throne, thanks to you she was able to walk the path of providence.]

“Okay then. If you are greedy for the throne, you are violating the laws of nature.]

The widow smiled bitterly at Namgung’s words.

[So what are your plans?]

“The order of the carnival has changed due to my test. As a result, the monsters that would be summoned also became stronger. As you said, there are only a few people who have the skills to face the boss of the door in the current situation.”

[Have you not captured the Snow Queen? Her strength is strong. It won’t be a problem until you pass through at least two or three doors.]

“Are you the guide in the fog?”

[Please call me Wei-na.]

[Now wait…! What are you talking about! Telling your true name to a human!!]

[What do you think? He is not just a revelator of stature. Because it is the light that leads the carnival.]

Several of the Aspects sighed at her words.

[lamplight? What happened to your head? You are giving an absurd honor to an ordinary person…]

Breeze’s mother still muttered as if she was disapproving, but she silenced her mouth when she made eye contact with Namgung.

[Let’s hear what he’s thinking.]

“It’s no big deal. “If you don’t have a weapon, you just have to have a power stronger than the weapon.”

Thump –

Namgung placed the holy relic on the table where the dignitaries were sitting.

“Let’s borrow some of your strength.”

[You bastard… Are you saying you’re going to use us to hunt down the boss of the gate?]

“Wasn’t that the purpose of the pantheon in the first place? I thought it was to help the humans participating in the carnival. no? “I guess he didn’t ask me to build a temple because he wanted to come down and play a game?”

[That can’t be true….]

“That’s right. Even if it’s just me, there are many people who have no doubt about their status. From now on, I will build a temple. “If the power of the phase comes, it will at least be better than Ouroboros’ poisoned sword.”

[Building a temple…?]

[I don’t know. The pantheon may be in shambles because of you, but that doesn’t mean it has lost discipline. You know what it takes to build a temple of a different stature other than the winner of the pantheon.]

Namgung chuckled at their words.

“Don’t drink kimchi soup. “I said I would build a temple, but I didn’t say I would build all of your temples.”

[then? Looking at all the relics scattered around the tower, it seems like the winner of the pantheon has been decided.]

“Well, it’s true that I can summon the temple if I want to.”

Clatter –

Namgung lightly tapped the relic on the table.

“But there is no need to summon the Temple of the Seven Serpents. “I have already gained all the power that can be gained through the test of incarnation.”

For a moment, the eyes of the Aspects wavered.

“If I could get it by summoning a temple, it would be a saint… I handle my power best. “Using the power of seven snakes with modest skills is actually poisonous.”

[So?]

“The winner has not been decided yet. “Whoever takes the relics I collected will be the winner.”

Namgung looked at their shaking eyes and smiled strangely.

“I plan to choose the aspect to summon the temple from among the remaining six, excluding the seven snakes.”

[…!!]

“You guys know better than anyone else what that means. Even if you can’t choose the winner of the carnival, if you successfully complete the carnival, you will receive benefits for the next carnival. “The higher the level of contribution, the more advantageous it is to aim for the next one.”

[Yor. You even taught me useless things.]

[Bullshit. I didn’t tell you. Did you forget? Collecting all the holy relics means that he has visited the entire first floor of the tower.]

“He is right. “Lattea told me about the carnival.”

[Leoric’s daughter…]

[A mere human knows everything. [It’s a nuisance.]

The officials muttered at Namgung’s words.

[so? What kind of temple do you plan to build on the continent?]

“You can’t ask me that.”

[…What?]

“You are making a suggestion to me. This is your last chance to get benefits for winning the next Carnival, right? “Are you going to miss this opportunity?”

[Pfft]

Yor burst out laughing and all the Aspects glared at him.

“Except for the Widow of Thorns and the Master of the Seven Serpents, the remaining Aspects have not yet begun receiving their benefits. Since the order of inquiries has changed, there’s no need to do your benefits in order, right?”

Namgung said.

“My conditions are simple. “Providing all the benefits of status until the next door opens.”

[Do not be ridiculous…!! Open the benefits of each phase at the same time? That is truly ruining the carnival!]

“You… see the embers behind your back, so I guess you are probably the one who handles the fire pit?”

[But?]

“You don’t have to do it. “It would be better to give up trying to win the next carnival.”

[Now wait…!!]

“Next. Also, if there is someone you don’t like, tell them. This is absolutely not coercion. “I plan to provide opportunities only to those who want them.”

[I will do it.]

That was then.

Surprisingly, the first phase to raise its hand was the sun and moon observer.

[I knew you would giggle.]

He said to Namgung, ignoring Yor’s teasing.

[My benefit, ‘Day of Light’, weakens the power of monsters that will be summoned during the three doors that will open in the future. I’m sure it will help you defeat the monsters.]

[What are you talking about in such a patronizing way? Anyway, it was your turn to receive the next benefit!]

[Yes, you have nothing to regret!]

Namgung smiled coldly at the backlash coming from all over the place. This was because the gods’ unwillingness to suffer even the slightest loss was far from holy.

“good. “He is of such stature that he would change even a normal Revelator in order to win.”

flinch-

His cheek twitched at Namgung’s words.

“The watchers of the sun and the moon decided to accept this deal. rest of it? If not, I have no choice but to hand over the victory of the pantheon to him.”

[Now wait a minute…!]

[Time to think… No, I will participate too!!]

[Me too!!]

Everyone raised their hands and shouted at Namgung. They knew it too. How pathetic they are for being manipulated by humans.

But it was unavoidable.

‘Damn it… this carnival was bad anyway. It’s unfortunate, but he’s right.’

‘It is important to accumulate as many achievements as possible in order to aim for the next time.’

‘There are many dimensions anyway. It’s enough to just abandon this dimension. There will definitely be a day when I will take revenge on that guy.’

The Aspects looked at each other.

[Our Aspects…]

It was an annoying situation, but we had no choice.

[I will participate in the pantheon.]

Namgung nodded with a satisfied expression as if he was not in a bad mood as the gods’ voices rang out at the same time.

[All phases have decided to provide benefits. Then, how will you determine the winner of the pantheon?]

“I think you are misunderstanding, but casting the benefits of phase all at once is just a basic requirement for participating in the pantheon.”

[…What?]

Namgung said to them.

“Tell me the best terms you can offer. I will give the opportunity to the temple to the person I like the most. “You guys ended up throwing away this carnival anyway, right?”

He raised his index finger and waved it.

“So spend generously and leave without any regrets.”
