“It’s the best . ” As I said a little while ago, I mumbled once more because this was really the best .

The explanation of the Spirit King, who mentioned that the source could raise the level, was on spot . It really was .

From below, a dull thud resounded . It was the sound of the native god falling down . No matter what kind of god he was, he wouldn’t be able to handle the explosion within his body . The native god fell without even screaming .

Now, there was only one native god left, who seemed to have lost his fighting spirit . The battle did not seem to carry on . Meanwhile, I thought it was good that he didn’t run away .

[I can’t run away . I might lose something more precious than my life . ]

“What do you mean by that?”

[There’s a lot of people watching from down there . If I show defeat, their respect for me as a god will plunge . The supply of faith will get blocked, and as a result, we may lose our dignity . ]

You had no qualms about slaughtering tens of thousands of believers, but you can’t run away in front of them? All for reputation?

It didn’t make sense .

[That’s how it works . Even if there was a massacre, in a hundred years or so, it will be glorified and recorded for the victor . No, maybe even in just ten years . ]

I didn’t know that . But, I didn’t really care . I cared more about my condition than whatever that might happen to the native god .

My body had become a burning flame itself . I raised my hand and looked at the slowly swaying flame . It turned into a blade, and then a flame . On the 57th floor, the source had tentacles as opposed to a blade .

Then, of course, other forms other than fire would be possible . I felt like I shouldn’t do anything right now .

[Because you’re not familiar with it . ]

For example, if you wanted to use other attributes, you needed more skill . It was more comfortable to understand it through the example of a game .

The next thing that bothered me was my left arm, which was attached to my body when it was on fire .

[I’ll let you know about that . There won’t be anyone to tell you . ]

Originally I was going to ask Kirikiri, but I kept my mouth shut . I wanted answers, after all .

[This is because the spirit body, when apart from the body, is in that form . ]

Spirit body?

[It’s a container for the soul . Since you have shed away the shell of your body, getting control of the spirit body would be the next step . ]

Spirit body… Should I instinctively think of this form as my body and my own consciousness? I didn’t know yet .

It was reasonable to say that I had taken off my human shell . I had turned into a fire and no longer had a human body .

[For a human being, it wouldn’t have been easy . In your case, there was no trigger, but I think you were ready to throw it away . Amazing, amazing . This is new . ] the God of the Sky muttered .

What are you talking about?

Hell difficulty was a level where you can’t proceed if you’re attached to your body in the first place . It was beneficial in many ways to think of it as a properly stocked consumable product .

Come to think of it, that native god was still in shape .

He had a monster-like appearance similar to that of the Eastern Dragon in its ferocious evolution . He remained in the same form when he fired at me with numerous powers and when he was hit back by me . Obviously it was a huge, powerful, and dignified form, but that form was their frame and limit .

That was what I’d been thinking about when I felt the remaining native god moving again . It seemed to me that he had enough defenses, and now he was looking for a means to attack me again .

Was it a barrier? It was similar to the power I had experienced earlier . I’d been thinking for a while, so I was sure I had plenty of time to prepare .

I decided to put aside my worries for the moment and subdue the god first . What would it be like if I let my guard down and let him turn the tables on me?

I walked slowly toward the native god . With every step, the fire spread around with a roar .

As I approached him, I gradually picked up speed, from walking to running . When I was close enough, I jumped, moving my body forward at the same time . Then, I leaned down slightly and curled myself into a ball, and with all my might, I flung myself towards him . My body, which flew like a bullet, broke through the numerous defenses set up by the native god and even penetrated his body .

Quaaaaaang!

I penetrated his body and stopped . Looking back, fragments of the shield, flesh, and blood of that god were spread out where I was . It was as if a firecracker of blood and flesh had burst before my eyes . It wasn’t a very good sight .

The body of the native god had a huge hole in it, and it wasn’t just a bullet hole . I wondered if he would die like that . Fortunately, he didn’t .

As expected, he was strong enough, but this was the best when I was still testing things out . A simple headbutt had done this . It was tantamount to suicide for normal people, but if they had the perfect combo, they would not lose anytime, anywhere . Just like how I used to use Talaria’s wings and Blink combo all the time .

The native god began to shiver like the other god who had fallen to the fire earlier . I laughed to myself at the sight .

[Are you having fun? Unexpectedly, I thought you’d be sad that you stopped your fight too soon . ] said the God of the Sky .

Come to think of it, the gods thought my biggest feature was struggling, which was not really the case .

“There are two subjects that are not actually dead, so I’m not disappointed . ”

There was nothing fixed . Just checking each and every thing that popped into my head would give me enough results .

Damn, I’m so happy .

[I’m very sorry about this . ]

“What?” When I asked back, a strange thing happened to the world . The empty air above cracked, and someone walked out: a divine figure .

╔═══════════════╗

[The Tutorial intervenes]

╚═══════════════╝

It had also happened on the 57th floor . The gods dispatched a divine figure and the stage was terminated .

I had defeated the native gods just some moments before, yet it was a colorless victory . My power shrank . The divine figure, who walked through the crack, exuded an incomparable presence compared to the two native gods .

But the problem was not that . With the entry of a new character, the stage would end .

╔═══════════════╗

[You’ve cleared floor 59th of the Tutorial’s Hell Difficulty . ]

[The 98 gods of the Temple are watching over you . ]

[God of Light pouts his lips . ]

╚═══════════════╝

No, you wicked b*stards . You’re gonna end it here? Are you out of your mind?

I didn’t even want much . I admitted that I was greedy, and wanted a week’s time . If not, then one day . No, even half a day .

A portal appeared under my feet and began to emit white light . What bullsh*t! Just another hour . Hey, just one hour!!

There were native gods over there, and humans were connected to me . I wanted to see the archbishop again and test my powers more .

I’d never know whether my desperation was heard or not as the portal began to spin slowly .

Wow, isn’t this too much? You son of a b*tch!

I can’t go! No, I’m not going! I managed to hold out so as to not be teleported, somehow using my powers . The portal can fail if the user operates the mana . No matter what god it was, it should be enough for me to hold on with the power of the God the Sky and the source .

* * * * * *

I couldn’t stand it . Damn it .

The place where I was teleported to was full of darkness . It was a strange place .

It was a place where there was not even a handful of light . Nothing was visible, and most probably, nothing was there . It was similar to the temple of the God of Slowness, full of emptiness, but there was something else . A part of the darkness was moving . Darkness, which at first glance seemed like a speck, was trying to penetrate my body . It was trying to draw my powers .

[Give up . ]

[Give up!]

Don’t f*ck with me . I won’t give up anything! This is my power! You can’t take this away from me!

“It’s my power!” I urged .

I couldn’t figure out the situation, but I understood well that someone was trying to take away my power .

I held on desperately . But soon, I felt something rip off .

“God of the Sky! Help! Help!”

[Sorry, Contractor, I can’t help you, or my power would be crushed . ]

I heard the words of the God of the Sky and felt something slipping out of my body . The next moment, I was moved from a dark space to a bright place .

A cool breeze blew in the sunny weather . There were small hills and half-hidden in the grass, and rabbit ears were seen poking out .

It was Kirikiri’s field .

“Long!”

“…Long?”

“Long time no see!” Kirikiri welcomed me with a naive smile .

Certainly, it’d been a long time .

“…yes . ”

* * * * * *

“Hehe . ” Kirikiri was laughing cheerfully, hopping around, but I was too distracted by my mixed feelings .

The fact that I was upset by the opportunity I had missed to experiment wasn’t the main problem . Rather, I felt a sense of exhaustion due to the power of the God of the Sky and the power of the source . And the inconvenience of having my left arm missing from my recovered body . It wasn’t just my left arm though .

Every little movement and each breath was uncomfortable .

“C’mon!”

Even so, the power of the source from the 59th floor was clearly my strength . Damn it . A fit of anger overtook me . In a rage, I kicked the dirt floor . A hollow hole appeared where I had kicked it .

Kirikiri approached with a surprised look . Then she grumbled and began to fill out the hole with her hands . I felt sorry for no reason and squatted down with Kirikiri .

* * * * * *

“Have you calmed down now?”

“A little . ”

Lying on the floor and looking at the sky, I seemed to have calmed down a little . I thought I’d be calmer if Kirikiri hadn’t been sitting on my stomach with her legs crossed .

“You said there was a difference between the gods . ”

“Yes, I did . ”

I could feel it this time . The two native gods on the 59th floor really felt like gods to me . However, I realized that they were much weaker than the God of the Sky or the divine being that had appeared at the last minute .

“It may all look the same to people, but the gods have their own complicated relationships . There are lower gods, upper gods, mixed hostilities and friendships . There are times when the hierarchy is too much . ”

It was over a wall that looked the same to all from the bottom, but it wasn’t the same . There was a long way to go . I liked that .

“Heh . ”

Well, I was still growing . I wouldn’t stop, and my hardships would continue, but I was confident that I could somehow endure and move on .

“About the gods . ” Kirikiri was talking to me . It was unusual for Kirikiri to start talking about information first . Even more so, since it was expensive information about the gods .

“There’s a lot of information left . Anyway, getting help directly from the gods isn’t very good in the long run . ”

I suppose so .

This time, I went a little too far because I thought I would have a chance to fight against the native gods .

Enough to bear with the loss of giving my left arm to Ahbooboo .

“Especially the God of the Sky . ” Kirikiri poked at the sky god . “He’s a god who looks down at everything . ”
