Chapter 80

In Tensura's planning team and monitoring team.

The development team was very busy.

Since the first system was launched, it was necessary to make a backup so that nothing goes wrong in real time.

At that very moment, the most nervous and anxious team was the planning department.

It was because the several variables had been discovered which shouldn't happen in the early phase of the game as this could guarantee of creating a top class ranker.

Among them, was the famous headache initiator.

"Ahh! I want to go home."

Some developers said with tears in their eyes while fixing their eyes on the huge monitor.

Bang-!

Dan Santiago, who forcefully opened the door, entered the monitoring room.

He spoke to Kevin Lewis, who was watching something very intently, right away.

"Hey, Kevin. Why did this happen? Why does the hidden pieces were coming to himself by itself without him giving an additional effort for it?"

Kevin sighed upon listening to Dan's unstoppable rant.

"Phew, from what we have seen, because of his early awakening of the good luck stats, it grew very fast unlike what it should be which allow him to obtain the passive skill [Paragon of Luck]"

"Haa… Please don't tell me… things like this will keep happening in the future?"

Dan said with a tired and grim expression as if it would be his worst nightmare. All developers who was listening broke into cold sweat just from the imagination of their future sufferings.

"I'm not sure. It wouldn't have been a problem if Zephyr wasn't in possession of it… but the problem was that it seems like he was favored by lady luck too much."

"Euh…"

Everytime when Zephyr obtain a certain achievements that resulted him for acquiring a bonus of all stats increase, the developers face's keep turning pale and dark as Zephyr's good luck stats was also included.

In came to the point that they wished Zephyr didn't acquire the Insignia of Fortune and failed the Abyss level trial for him not to have the good luck stats.

If not for the good luck stats, they had a high chance that they will not suffer at all. All the developers face's was turning dark from imagining their new pipe dream that could be compared to the level of a man's dream of winning a lottery.

"God no, please find an alternative quickly. I'm about to go crazy any second now."

Dan Santiago was looking at the huge monitor on the wall and moved like a blank thoughtless puppy.

As they fell into a deeper dispair, Kevin stood up from his seat and called out to him.

"Team leader."

"Huh?"

"There is a way."

All developers turned their eyes at Kevin with a hopeful expressions as if they were looking at their savior.

"…?!"

Dan Santiago made his way Kevin's chair and sat in front of him.

Kevin Lewis was someone whom he knew well, though he sounded a bit kinky at times, he wasn't the kind to talk useless stuff in troubling situations.

"Did you really think that the supercomputer Uriel would alllow someone to obtain a very strong skills without a certain demerit?"

Kevin took out a smartphone from his pocket. He then smiled and said,

"I don't think we need to worry about these matter anymore."

The developers was then reminded at the existence of the supercomputer Uriel who was managing the whole Tensura. Because of the dispair they felt due to a certain headache initiator, they completely forgot about it.

"Um…?"

Kevin's finger was pointing at something in the screen.

"Let's better see what kind of nerf was implemented for him."

The developers regained their hopeful expression just with the imagination of the headache iniatiator to be nerfed. However, their happiness didn't last when Kevin continued.

"Well let's better order some take out or something because I think we will spending more...nightshifts here."

'What? What is happening all of a sudden?'

Ericson and Eliazar was dazed for a while as they were looking at Zephyr. Zephyr's aura immediately changed as if he becomes stronger or something.

Ericson wasn't able to pinpoint what has changed but Eliazar was different as he looked at Zephyr. The present Zephyr unlike earlier was having an aura closer to being reborn as a true legendary entity that should only possibly when one becomes a Tier 4.

No, it was not just like, he was being reborn. However that was not just all, Eliazar sensed something from Zephyr that should not be possible at all.

'This? Impossible, how can he possibly radiate an aura of divinity?'

He knew that the moment he was defeated by Zephyr, it would lead the latter of opening the deity stat but that should only the beginning. What made him wonder was that the divinity of Zephyr rised rapidly which shouldn't be possible for a mere mortal who hasn't even begun on walking to the path of godhood.

After making the mythic rated sword arts, all stats of Zephyr had risen. Also Zephyr's deity stat also rose by 1 everytime a mythic rated sword skills were created allowing him to currently have 13 points in his diety stat.

[The divine factors are being awakened.]

[The divine factors are being awakened.]

[The divine...]

[Deity]

* A holy dignity that can't be tolerated. * Every time this stat gains 10 points, you can gain a new power. The power acquired will depend on your personality.

[The divine factors are being awakened.]

[The divine factors are being awakened.]

[The divine...]

[Your deity stat has reached 10 points and something special will happen.]

Eliazar's mouth was opened widely seeing the divinity that is reaching the level of his and it is still rising. However, his expression changed when something strange happened.

As the rapid rise of the divinity, Zephyr suddenly fell into his knees and was forcibly kneeled to the ground. Blood spat out from his mouth and blood emerged from his eyes.

Divinity, a power that belongs to the transcendents and not a power that a mere Tier 2 mortal could possibly handle. Zephyr's body shook and more blood emerged.

[You have lost 100% of your health due to the backslash.]

[A legend doesn't die easily. You can resist all attacks for 5 seconds with the minimum amount of health.]

Seeing the blood of Zephyr, Ericson immediately attempted to rush at Zephyr. However, before he could do so, he was blocked by Eliazar.

"Don't."

Seeing he was blocked even Zephyr was suffering without any warning right in front of his eyes, he felt a sense of urgency.

As if reading Ericson's mind, he spoke.

"Don't intervene or else he will suffer more than that."

"Why?"

Hearing the question, he explained to avoid further complications.

"He is in the process of acquiring divinity. This process should not be interrupted as doing so would lead to dire consequences. Especially in his state."

Eliazar who was spectating explained what is currently to Zephyr. What currently happening to Zephyr is not something anyone could do as obtaining a divinity is one of the process to become a true transcendent.

Normally, when the conditions were met, at this juncture, one should evolve and enter the realm of a demi-god however, for Zephyr who prematurely obtained the sufficient amount of diety stats because of creating 12 mythic rated sword skills, is something that has not happened before.

[Conditions have not been met, you don't deserve to obtain transcendence.]

[Your current level isn't a means of proving your divinity.]

As his body is not sturdy enough to handle such power, Zephyr was currently experiencing the tremendous backslash. Which means, he was doomed to fail the process but Eliazar didn't say that and hoped for a miracle to happen.

Fortunately, as a person who was always being chased by miracles,

[The divine factors are being awakened.]

[The divine...]

[The divine factors had successfully settled.]

[The divine power has been added to your Hero's Egg.]

Instead of the divinity slowly destroying Zephyr's existence, it was luckily absorbed by the Hero's Egg just like when Zephyr awakened the demonic power and was absorbed into the Demon Lord's Seed.

However, this scale was incomparably different from that time

[The heavenly gods can't take their eyes off you. Your dignity can be compared to a god after making the strongest sword arts that even the gods will covet.]

[The gods, demons, and many transcendents watching you expresses intense shock.]

[Multiple gods and transcendents are conversing about this.]

[A few gods have expressed dissatisfaction over this matter.]

[A few transcendents are uncomfortable. Some transcendents suggests discussion about you.]

[The godly society, 'Asgard' shows intense interest.]

[The godly society, 'Olympus' shows intense interest.]

[The godly society...]

[...]

[The godly society, 'Deva' is the only one to have neutral stance.]

This time, due to feat of Zephyr, it certainly caught the interests of many Tier 6 entities who was naturally very sensitive to the law of casualty.

[Asgard contemplates whether to offer you a champion position.]

[Zeus also wonders about whether to offer you a champion position.]

[Thor...]

Now some of them even began to consider making him their champion. If a God catches the eye of a particularly powerful mortal or is intrigued enough with their accomplishments and abilities, they would sometimes offer to make this mortal their Champion.

That in exchange for becoming their servants and essentially becoming their eyes, ears and limbs within the mortal realm, they grant these mortal a small portion of their Holy Powers and drastically increase their power altogether.

Because of the immense power boosts by their positions and their duties to their patron gods, a Champion is typically someone who is the head of a specific religious sect or that of a clan in order to also foster faith in their patron gods.

[A few demonic societies are having deep coversation about you.]

[Some demons are happy.]

[The demonic society, 'Le Infernal' shows no interest.]

Of course this was a situation where many gods, demons and other transcendents would be in an uproar.

[You have made an achievement that is not easily accomplished. Additional karma will be provided.]

[You have acquired 10,000 karma.]

[You have acquired 15,000 additional karma.]

Even Zephyr failed in acquiring the true transcendence, he could feel that his power has increased as well.

He unconsciously clinched his fists. His could feel the tremendous rise of his power. After the endless messages finally finished, Zephyr opened his eyes and wiped the blood and his face.

This was the notification window that rose when every time because he made mythic rated sword skills. The reward was a skill, Divinity.

[Divinity - Ultimate Miracle Lv.2]

[-Raises your existence to a level close to a god.

* Adds a strong Destruction effect to any attack (Physical, Magic, Item).

* All attacks will ignore pain reduction and increase pain by 300%,

* All attacks will ignore the target's Defense, Damage Reduction and Absolute Defense.

* Attack can have a 15% chance to trigger Instant Death.

* After using any skill (including equipment skills), there is a 50% chance of the cooldown time being immediately reset.]

Type: Passive

Skill Proficiency: 0%

Skill Resources Consumed: None

Cooldown Time: None.]

"Ah." Zephyr sighed. It was definitely a good skill. No, it was more than just a good skill, it was great. It was a skill that removed cooldown time and many other satisfying effects.

It was one of the best skills in Tensura and no one could deny it. However, it wasn't universal.

[From now on, Divinity will apply to all your skills.]

[From now on, it is possible to raise Divinity. One of the special things that will occur every time Deity gains 10 points is directly related to the rise in the level of Divinity. The maximum level of Divinity is 10. Whenever it levels up, the number of consecutive uses of Divinity will increase by one.]

[Once Divinity reaches level 5, your race will possibly evolve from human to half-god.]

It was at this moment, some developers collapsed and some were hospitalized unable to accept to current reality and hoped for the nightmare to end.
