The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone - The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone chapter 83

Holy Contribution (1)

blue sky.

sunlight shining beneath it.

And me, holding a smartphone under it.

In clear and sunny weather, I was playing a game while holding my smartphone.

The game you play is always the same.

It was an idle game that I kept holding on to without getting tired of it for several months.

“Ha-am…”

On a sunny day, it was best to play games with the air conditioner turned on at home.

I looked at the screen of my smartphone with sleepy eyes, holding back the yawn that flowed from my mouth.

Is it because Roan has earned a lot of karma lately?

A level-up message was being displayed at the bottom of the screen that I was looking at with half-closed eyes.

When was the last time you leveled up?

I can’t remember the details, but it seems like a lot of time has passed since I reached level 9.

– You have reached level 10.

– ＜Eye of the Spectator (Lv.9)＞ grows.

– It has become ＜The Observer’s Eye (Lv.10)＞. You will be able to observe the continents with a clearer eye than before.

The skill ＜Eye of the Spectator＞, which evolves along with the level, has reached level 10.

Even at level 10, there was no visible change.

At best, that would be all that the movable area has been expanded.

Below that, as always, a warning about ＜Karma’s Balance＞ was being displayed.

– Warning: Karma that is too biased in one direction is more likely to cause ＜Causality Correction＞.

– ＜Balance of Karma＞ is tilted.

– A low level of ＜causality correction＞ occurred.

– Due to ＜Causality Correction＞, [Divine Spirit: Ascalon] has been liberated by one level.

– Causality correction progress: 9%

In the case of causality correction, it had reached 9%.

It seems to be getting faster and faster than ever before.

Since acquiring Kueberg, it seems that he has been doing an unprecedented level-up.

As the causality correction reached 9%, the message that [Shingi: Ascalon] was liberated also came to mind.

It meant that the boss who had [Shingi: Ascalon] became stronger than before.

As I looked at the God’s liberation message, the boss monster that Yutenia had encountered before came to mind.

“The boss I met last time had difficult patterns to deal with.”

There was one character that weakened the magic.

There was one character who knocked on the Alpha hidden in the shadows.

Finally, there was one character that blocked my view.

Each character had a difficult pattern.

It was a story that such characters had grown up, so it was a very burdensome content for me.

“If we meet again, will you be able to defeat me with my characters now?”

However, the difficulty correction of the game had already happened.

It is impossible to go back even if you regret it now.

As the level went up, it was natural for the enemies to become stronger accordingly.

Leveling up is a great way to level up, but there is also a difficulty penalty depending on the level.

When the player grows through leveling up, the boss character also grows through causality correction.

The only way to get stronger without penalty in this game was to get a new item by doing 10 draws.

By increasing the number of rare items, the difference in valid item specifications was created.

“If the specifications are insufficient, we will have to re-plan the billing plan at that time.”

Unfortunately, I was not a person who could pay 1 million won and 10 million won indefinitely.

While charging as much as I could afford, I had to level-up at the same time.

The most efficient way is to balance the level and item specifications.

When you develop a character by properly mixing the utility of the two, you will be able to create the most powerful character with less money.

While I was complaining about my wallet, I scrolled down and checked the following message.

“And the next message is…. Well?”

Whoops.

Read at noblemtl.net

Moving my finger down the screen, I was intrigued by the first message I saw and stopped my finger.

Below the causal ratio adjustment message by ＜Karma’s Balance＞.

A message in an unfamiliar format was floating there.

After falling asleep in an instant, I carefully read the contents of the message box.

– [First Apostle: Euthenia High Lost]’s divine contribution value exceeded the standard.

– You can proceed with the liberation of [Divine Spirit: Grimore] by consuming 100 Karma.

The first character I appointed to the apostle, Yutenia.

It was a message that her divine contribution exceeded the threshold.

Below that, a message that said that you can use 100 Karma to release the Shinigami also appeared.

I clicked on the new message in the message box to check the message in more detail.

Then the screen went black and a selection window with options was displayed.

– Consumes 100 Karma to release the power inherent in [Divine Spirit: Grimoire].

– Do you want to release [Shingi: Grimore]?

– Yes No

In the newly emerged selection window, there was a message asking whether or not to liberate the divine.

God’s liberation

When I received a warning related to ＜Karma’s Balance＞ a while ago, a message was displayed in the message box stating that [Divine Spirit: Ascalon] was released.

It was a message that the difficulty had been adjusted the same as last time.

So, until now, I knew that only the boss characters could adjust the level of difficulty by unlocking the Shingi.

But it was a system that could be applied equally to my apostles.

I couldn’t help but be surprised by the unexpected message.

“Is it possible to strengthen the spirit of Eutenia?”

I looked at Euthenia, who was moving in a wagon on the screen.

On Yutenia’s lap, who was moving to return to the church, there was a book with a luxurious cover.

[Shingi: Grimore].

After finishing Euthenia’s ＜Selection of the Apostles＞, it was a divine weapon that I gave to Euthenia.

Yutenia’s Grimoire has the effect of creating a touch of shadow in the dark.

Thinking about it now, it was more of a general purpose rather than a combat characteristic.

“Hey… now, magic rather than shadows seems to be the main focus.”

I don’t think ＜touch of the shadows＞ is a useless trait for Utenia.

Obviously, it was a characteristic that had a not bad effect in the auxiliary aspect.

However, Yutenia’s main focus is wide-range bombing by magic.

It was far from the style of fighting while boasting the power of Shingi like Evan did.

The ＜Touch of the Shadow＞ characteristic was difficult to become the main force of Utenia.

And now, from the standpoint of being an apostle of a church that has grown in size, the characteristics of Euthenia seemed somewhat lacking in dignity.

“Did the moment come when you need to strengthen your Utena?”

In that sense, it was a very positive story to be able to strengthen the spirit of Utenia.

It was an opportunity to raise the fighting power of Utenia, which was focused only on the magical part.

In addition, it would not be only Utenia that could liberate the gods.

Evan and Pluto might also be able to release the Shingi and raise their performance further.

Of course, before that, you have to accumulate enough divine contribution points, though.

Thinking of Evan and Pluto, who would one day wield a fortified divine weapon, brought a smile to his lips.

“By the way, it’s a little surprising that there are places where you can use divine contribution points other than setting permissions.”

The Holy Contribution Point is a newly added system when acquiring the ＜Sacred Response Device＞.

Therefore, I knew that the divine contribution value was only applicable within the ＜Divine Response Device＞.

But then I found out that it must have been a number that was common throughout the system.

The unexpected harvest changed my evaluation of the divine contribution value in my head.

It felt like the importance had risen a few steps more than before.

“It is said that if you only accumulate holy contribution points, you can upgrade the apostles to 100 karma… This is worth doing.”

After revising the evaluation of the divine contribution value in my head, I looked at Utenia on the screen again.

It had been a long time since I had done a direct spec-up of Utenia other than magic.

I put my finger on the ‘yes’ button with anticipation.

Kwok.

When my finger touched the ‘Yes’ button on the option, the selection window disappeared and a light rose from Yutenia’s body.

At the same time, a new message was added to the message box.

– [First Apostle: Euthenia High Lost] started the ordeal.

A bright brilliance wrapped around Yutenia’s body.

It was brighter than the halo that Estasia was wearing.

Seeing her dazzling appearance, Yutenia raised her head and looked up at the sky.

A small speech bubble floated above Yutenia’s head, looking up at the sky with a glowing light.

– “··········?”

When the light that wrapped around Utena like that faded.

I could see Yutenia standing in the dark holding a book.

* * * * * *

First Apostle, Eutenia High Lost.

She blinked and looked at the scenery around her.

A pitch-black world where only darkness descends.

She stood there alone, with her feet in the dark, holding a book.

It was the first sight he had ever seen since Euthenia was born.

At the sudden change of scenery, Yutenia closed her eyes and opened it again.

“·················ogue.”

However, even if he closed his eyes and opened them, the scenery surrounding Utenia did not change.

It was dark where she was.

A thick yet dark darkness.

And the vast and endless darkness.

In the darkness, Euthenia’s gaze turned to the Grimore in her arms.

Even in a world where she was alone, she continued to be with Utenia as much as the magic that her master gave her.

“What happened?”

Yutenia, holding Grimour strongly, took a step forward.

with a splash. with a splash.

With each step forward, a ripple spreads around Utenia.

Walking through the darkness felt like walking in deep water.

Even so, there is no cold feeling on her legs.

Although it flows like water, it does not have the same sense of temperature as the sea.

Yutenia, who was walking through the darkness, murmured as she looked at the shadows covering the floor.

“I don’t think Alpha is here either.”

A shadow this size was not difficult for Alpha to escape.

However, Alpha showed no sign of coming out of the shadows.

Alpha’s terminal body, which he usually carried on his shoulder, also seemed to have disappeared.

I thought that if it was Alpha, the dark beast, anything would follow her, but Yutenia’s expectations were completely wrong.

It seemed better to stop thinking about getting out of here with Alpha’s help.

Unable to find any traces of Alpha, Yutenia gave more strength to the hand holding the Grimore.

With a sad expression on her face, Yutenia continued to walk forward.

– “Prove it.”

with a splash.

The steps of Yutenia, who had been walking forward, stopped again.

It was because an unidentified voice was heard in Yutenia’s ear.

Yutenia looked around with a puzzled face and repeated the story she had just heard.

“proof······?”

An unidentified voice told her to prove it.

But Euthenia could not fully comprehend his story.

Prove it to her all the way.

What do you mean to prove?

As Yutenia, who was in trouble, slowly looked around her, a voice resounded in her ears once again.

With an unidentified voice, the space that Utenia was stepping on also began to shake.

– “This is the world of shadows.”

Jet-black trees rose above the vast shadows.

The dry, desolate form was covered with black leaves in between.

One by one, the trees began to sprout their leaves.

The trees that sprouted up in an instant quickly created a huge forest of shadows.

– “It is a space created by a great man for his apostle.”

Beyond the thickly blooming forest, a huge wall began to rise.

Between the blurred borders, the bricks of shadows filled with no gaps appear.

A tall castle tower showed off its presence above the long shadowed walls.

A jet-black castle built up in an instant.

A beautiful castle that looked like something out of a fairy tale existed in front of Euthenia’s eyes.

– “Prove yourself. Prove your qualifications.”

With such a world of shadows as the background, the voice following Utenia spoke.

A scene like an illusion created in an instant oscillates violently following the flowing voice.

The voice hidden in the shadows wants only one thing.

It was the proof of Utenia towards a great existence.

– “Prove that the whole world exists for you.”

And it was the proof of the apostle toward the shadows.
