Chapter 172
Kill the Queen (5)
Hollien opened her left hand, and black air exuded out of her palm.
A message came up.
[Near-Completion Omphalos’s Blessing (Unique Item)]
She then looked at the black crystal piece of her right hand.
[Fragment of Complete Omphalos’s Blessing (Unique Item)]
Even though she didn’t even have to, she still checked it on purpose.
She knew it as soon as she saw it.
“Haha
”
She laughed loudly.
It was ridiculous.
Why on Latna did they have that?
What kind of ups and downs happened because of all the coincidences?
She was happy at the same time.
She didn’t need the incarnation of darkness anymore.
The last piece was in her grasp.
She would be perfect if she took it.
She could be completely immortal forever!
“Hahaha!”
She laughed with joy.
She no longer felt humiliated and ashamed.
“Oh, my God
 Can things work out so well?”
Mumbling, Hollien locked her hands together, and the fragment naturally seeped into her palm.
It seemed to have taken its rightful form.
The message had changed.
[Complete Omphalos’s Blessing (Unique Item)]
Watching the scene, Kibie fell into despair.
‘Oh, no
 how can things be this bad?’
Looking back at Ryu Han-bin, she screamed.
“What happened? Why didn’t you tell me you had it?”
Stumbling, Han-bin managed to reply.
“
 What is that?”
He was asked Artis in return.
“Why didn’t I tell you? I don’t even know I had to. What am I supposed to do?”
Kibie’s voice shook.
“That’s the last piece they needed! It’s the only gap they had!”
But Han-bin couldn’t understand yet.
That explanation alone wasn’t enough to grasp the situation.
But he could understand one thing for certain.
The fact that the blue-haired woman who was a Nymph, a mortal, turned into a completely different being.
Hollien’s eyes blackened.
The Prana of her whole body began to fuse with the divinity of the darkness.
Zoom

The dazzling darkness surrounded her.
It circled, flew, and became a shadow within the light and a light in the darkness.
The power of the Dark Goddess, who she had never touched despite standing right in front of her, came into her grasp.
Hollien was convinced of the lack of fullness.
At that moment, she could deal with divinity as she dealt with Prana.
And the Transcendental was the best user of Prana in Latna!
“World, the master of the night commands.”
In ecstasy, a new ‘Divinity of Darkness’ was declared to the world.
“Kybriel is no more! I am the Goddess of darkness!”
She laughed loudly.
“Ahahahaha!”
Kibie gritted her teeth.
Did she become a goddess?
Hollien might’ve felt that way.
But the nature of her divinity wasn’t connected to the world.
The isolated divinity would lead Latna to destruction!
‘No
’
Hollien became a truly corrupted Goddess.
She became a wickedly distorted false deity. To make matters worse, she didn’t even know she was corrupted.
“
 No!”
At that moment, a message popped into Ryu Han-bin’s eyes.
[The conditions have been met. The effect of the ‘Skill of the Absolute: Lord throughout Heaven and Earth’ has been activated.]
* * *
Hollien turned pale.
‘What is it?’
The mighty power that was filling her whole body was dying out.
Something infinitely darker was roaring, sucking all of her energy.
‘What is this?’
At the same time, her vast Prana fused with the darkness.
“What have you done!”
She howled.
“What have you done to me?”
Her power was gone!
The Prana that she had gained for her whole life! The power she had trusted the most!
Wouldn’t it be more painful than having her limbs cut off?
Wouldn’t it be more futile than having all of her loved ones die?
In the infinite emptiness, Hollien burst into a scream.
“Ahhhhhh!”
Ryu Han-bin, who had a look of despair, murmured casually.
“Oh, I see
”
The Transcendental became a Goddess, and she was filled with divinity in the process.
Wasn’t that the requirements that held back the Skill of the Absolute: Lord throughout Heaven and Earth?
‘Then!’
Han-bin gnashed his teeth and raised himself.
“Ahhhhhh!”
He had no energy left to use the Aura.
He just trusted in his physical abilities and threw the Gigant using his brute strength!
“Please die!”
The huge sword flew like an arrow.
Of course, ‘shooting arrows’ were only slow projections for high-ranking people.
That was true for the Transcendental as well.
But Hollien couldn’t do anything.
‘I-I can’t stop it
’
If she had been a true Goddess, she wouldn’t have lost all her strength even if her divinity had been sealed.
No matter how powerful Omphalos’s power was, there was a limit to it. Hence, it must’ve been only moderately lowered to the level that the mortal could deal with.
But what if she was not the right Goddess?
What was left after Prana was removed from the greatest Spiritist on earth?
[Race: Nymph. Lv. 1]
Without any interference, Gigant flew toward Hollien’s heart.
As a last resort, she screamed like hell.
“Activate, Blue Moon Aurora!”
The coat didn’t respond.
Instead, the Guideline clarified the cause of her death.
[Your level isn’t high enough.]
“Oh, my God
”
Han-bin’s thick blade penetrated through the thin nymph woman’s torso without mercy.
* * *
The woman with a pierced upper body vomited blood as she moaned in pain.
“Ugh
.”
Looking at the dying Hollien, Ryu Han-bin suddenly recalled Leon Hart’s nagging.
‘Really, luck doesn’t come in the way you expect it to.’
Hollien’s eyes quickly lost their light.
It was also possible for a strong warrior to try to cheat death.
However, no ordinary nymph woman who had lost all her power could’ve had that energy left.
“
”
Without leaving any will, the most powerful Spiritist on earth died.
Soon after, a shadow leaked out of her and began to thicken in the air.
The glaring darkness took the form of a brilliant pitch-black agglomeration.
It was Goddess Kybriel’s divinity of darkness.
‘That’s the real Goddess’s
’
Ryu Han-bin looked in awe for a while.
Suddenly, Hollien’s body disappeared.
Thud!
She left only the coat of the Blue Moon Aurora, and the Gigant stuck on her body.
“Huh?”
Han-bin was confused.
Why did Hollien’s body disappear?
Was she an Earthling?’
‘It can’t be! She is not even human at all!’
There was no race like a nymph on Earth.
The Guideline issued a message, leaving him no room to ask questions.
[You killed a level 155 Spiritist. You’ve earned 33,486,495,000 XP.]
[Current Experience Points: 101,408,175,200/98,171,466,200]
Although it wasn’t as much as when he had killed the divine beast, Uto Ksarik, the amount of experience he gained from killing a level 155 Latnain was enormous.
It was enough to fill all the remaining experience requirements.
[The required experience has been met.]
[Your level is increasing.]
As his level went up by multitudes, countless skills began to be activated all at once.
Han-bin wasn’t happy.
He had already experienced it.
It was as expected.
[Rapid level increase detected.]
His level went down, and countless skills began to be locked all at once.
Han-bin wasn’t disappointed.
As per said, he had already experienced it.
Hence, he ignored the stupid Guideline and thought about something else.
‘By looking at this, Hollien isn’t an Earthling.’
If she were an Alien, he wouldn’t have gained any experience points.
So how did Hollien recognize her opponent’s level like Aliens, and why did her body disappear like one?
While thinking about it, the Guideline that had been in a state of confusion became silent.
[The required experience has been met. Your level has increased.]
[Your Strength, Reflexes, and Agility stats have increased by 1.]
[The ‘Upward cut’ skill has been activated.]
[Ryu Han-bin: Swordsman Lv. 7
Acquired Skills: Stab, Crosscut, Vertical Cut, Horizontal cut, Upward cut, Language communication
Skill of the Absolute: Lord throughout Heaven and Earth
[Strength 28 (+1,364), Stamina 23 (+1,364), Endurance 17 (+682), Defense 18 (+1,364), Intelligence 7 (+341), Reflexes 9 (+341), Agility 10 (+341).]
He got one more useless skill, and his abilities increased a little.
“Oh, it’s meaningless.”
He shook his head and tried to turn off the Guideline.
[The qualifications to become the chosen one have been satisfied.]
[The Skill of the Absolute, ‘Cheonmanghoehoeisobulsil’ has been unlocked.」
Han-bin’s expression changed.
“What the hell is this?”
* * *
“It gave me one more thing.”
Out of curiosity, Ryu Han-bin turned on the explanation of the new skill.
Of course, he didn’t expect much.
“I’m sure that the letters will all be jumbled
”
For some reason, the message was fine this time.
“Cheonmanghoehoeisobulsil: The Heavenly Net is large and loose, but it never misses. This allows the user to collect divinity without losing the suppressed divine power with ‘Cheonmang’ (Heavenly Net).
Acquisition condition: Successfully suppress Latna’s Divine Power.
Activation condition: Suppress Latna’s Divine Power.]
Simply put, the Lord Throughout Heaven and Earth was a skill to suppress divinity, and the skill Cheonmanghoehoeisobulsil was a skill to absorb divinity.
“No, just call it divinity suppression and divinity absorption.”
Reading the explanation, Han-bin felt annoyed.
“Omphalos. Is that guy from Cheonghak-dong Seodang? Why did he name the skills that way?”
If he was really from Seodang, he probably didn’t learn the language properly.
It meant Omphalos had put the name casually.
“He’s probably the type that would use a stupid name such as ‘Naeronambul’ (meaning that if I love someone, it’s romance, but if others do, it’s an affair)in the future.”
Ryu Han-bin turned his head, clicking his tongue.
‘Anyway, this absolute skill can absorb divinity
’
And he looked at the divinity of the darkness floating in the air.
‘If I take it, will I get some power of the Goddess?’
At first glance, that was probably right.
To kill all six Goddesses of Latna, Aliens needed to be as strong as they were.
Hence, it seemed quite natural that the Guideline could absorb the Goddesses’ power once slain.
Greed suddenly grabbed Ryu Han-bin’s heart.
‘Can I get

 the power of the Goddess?
Maybe he could go back to Earth.
Perhaps he would gain enough power to take revenge against the damn devil.
It was a really attractive temptation.
Han-bin conflicted

‘Oh, man. I shouldn’t live like that.’
He shook his head immediately.
That darkness had a true master.
In the distance, a beautiful woman with black hair was struggling with blood all over her body.
“Han-bin!”
