It happened a long time ago.
In the latter part of the year, while I was climbing “up” and wandering around the Demon Realm, I discovered laboratories.
The laboratories were filled with subordinates of various races, and even Celestials and Demons were being used as test subjects.
Among them, there were humans as well.
I can’t say for sure why humans, who are considered weaker than other races, were present, but looking back now, my influence might have played a considerable role.
Anyway, it wouldn’t be surprising if this laboratory was destroyed since they were experimenting on humans, and just as I was about to smash it…
Clomp.
Someone appeared.
“Ho-ho. The Impossible Being I only heard about in rumors reveals itself. I thought it was just a fanciful tale…”
It was a Celestial.
A man dressed in a white gown with white wings neatly folded.
Experiments were usually the domain of the Demons, so it was rare for a Celestial to conduct research; however, there are a few cases of strange mutations like this.
The example would be “Revelatio,” who had once empowered a Saintess in the Lower Realm.
Instead of a hammer to smash the laboratory, I pulled out a spear.
My opponent was a Celestial.
I had every reason to kill him.
“I am Intio, a researcher on the Impossible. I aim to give birth to beings even great existences can’t dare to touch. I have a proposal for you.”
‘?’
“If you merge your physical and spiritual body with my knowledge, you will certainly gain it. Don’t you desire great power?”
‘……’
“I don’t know how you came to possess such a body, but with you, obtaining both Celestial and Demon powers isn’t far-fetched!”
“That’s a fair point.”
“Right? Come this way…”
KABOOM!!
“That’s some ridiculous talk.”
■
“To think you were still alive…”
BOOM!!
[?]
[Roar of the spear?]
[Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa]
[Wait, there’s another Fake Lily?]
[Why do I keep running into Lily?]
[Dodging perfectly.]
I spread my Wings of Light and soared high, dodging the trajectory of the spear’s roar.
Aiming! Aiming!
Down below, the statues were all picking up weapons or casting powerful magic spells and charging at me. I swung my spear in return and destroyed them.
“Eye of the spear.”
CRASHHH!!!
As destruction occurred, the storm unleashed from the spear’s tip sucked in fragments and debris of power.
If I leave this as it is, it will undoubtedly become their power.
Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to absorb it, but seeing the situation, this is the last chance.
If I can completely shatter those things, then the ‘攻略’ will be accomplished systemically, and they won’t be able to do anything to me.
The remnants moved somewhere, but couldn’t withstand the storm of the spear’s eye and eventually shattered into a single point at the spear’s tip.
Not stopping there, the spear’s eye gradually increased in size, and soon began to grow gigantic, as if it would swallow the entire space.
Just before the entire statue vanished.
– Eye of the Spear.
“!”
Kwahgagagaga!
My statue cast the eye of the spear in the same way, neutralizing the effect of the spear’s eye.
As the contest of strength continued, the impact of the spear’s eye eventually subsided.
[Wow]
[ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ]
[LilJekLil ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Lily’s battle is awesome]
[Big Lily]
“Remarkable. Truly remarkable.”
I couldn’t help but admire a little.
There were countless researchers of the Impossible Being, but only two left the most memorable impressions on me.
One was an unnamed demon who created the twin Gemelynus.
And the other was a celestial named Intio.
In terms of skill, the demons were superior, but celestial beings were not originally a race specialized for experimentation.
Still, what stuck in my memory about Intio was the way he had shown me his power when I ambushed his laboratory, putting him in a desperate situation.
– Spear of the Downpour.
Despite his laboratory being half-destroyed and a massive spear wound on his chest, he endlessly observed me and absorbed my power.
As the battle reached its climax, he finally created a specimen infused with my strength.
The materials appeared to be haphazardly patched together, making it rather grotesque, but it was quite strong, leading to a fiercely intense fight at the time.
Eventually, I succeeded in capturing it, and the closure of the laboratory and Intio’s defeat became an inevitable fate.
If there had been no catastrophic damage in the lower realm at that time, I would have completely finished it, but I couldn’t and had to return to the lower realm.
Still, I thought he must have died since his body was destroyed and his soul had suffered deep wounds…
“Is it luck or misfortune?”
A downpour of spears is unleashed.
I drew the Kraken’s Spear and struck the ground fiercely.
Gooaaahhh…!
With one and a half eyes opened, Kraken showcases its strength, blocking the deluge of rain.
Its focus ability was powerful enough to drive most living beings insane, but the opponents were statues imbued with celestial and demon powers.
I was strong enough to match, but the opponents were statues with the powers of Celestials and Demons.
With the Ancient Beast’s power, I couldn’t bind them.
“Just defending is not enough.”
I layered Karabus’s carapace over the Kraken’s body, which was being torn apart by the spear of torrential rain, and added the defense ability of the Iron Soul Sword.
If I had the Iron Devourer, the defense would have doubled, but Black Lily took it, so there’s nothing I can do.
“…This side is Lily. That side is also Lily.”
Why do I feel like I’m only facing Lily lately?
[Wow]
[The Kraken is huge, lol]
[Octopus, octopus]
[Lily, win!]
[Lily winning is our Lily, lol]
[Lolololololololololol]
Ka-gaga-gang!!!
While the Kraken was blocking most of the attacks, I donned the Roar of Acceleration and dashed forward quickly.
Crack! After smashing the statue with Black Wings, I ground the remains finely to prevent them from being sucked away.
After that, I think I broke about three more statues.
“!”
Swoosh! Swoosh!
I flew up, dodging statues attempting to slice me in an X movement as if they were one body.
One side had Wings of Darkness. The other had Wings of Light.
“Gemelynus.”
The first and finest success among countless Impossible Beings.
The Impossible Gemelynus.
“That’s Aisha’s class. The statue with Wings of Light.”
[Oh]
[Really?]
[Is that strong?]
[Must be a set class then]
[Let’s bring one of the Dark ones too, lol]
[Looks powerful]
[Having one of each is so cool, lol]
“Impossible Gemelynus. One has the power of Demons. The other has the power of Celestials. Well, it’s not precisely twins; rather, they are a special case formed by the matching wavelengths of soul sync…”
Swoosh!!
The tip of a sword grazed my side.
When one struck, the other mirrored the action.
Hit by black-and-white attacks, I created countless Clone Spears and shot them at the Gemelynus.
The Gemelynus started to parry my attacks as if they were one body, and Holy and Magic combined forces to deflect all my strikes.
‘Among the upper ranks… about mid-lower level, huh?’
Each of their individual powers isn’t much, but when they move together, their strength is doubled.
There are records that the past Gemelynus demonstrated top-tier power, but they eventually disappeared later on, so I can’t know for sure.
What’s certain is that if those two join forces and the Lily Statue down there supports them, they could unleash some serious power.
Right now, I’m already giving the Kraken a meaningful buff.
‘…But.’
This dungeon. The difficulty is absurdly abnormal.
Just one statue I’ve smashed could wipe most users out.
With just three statues, a whole continent could be obliterated.
Let alone Gemelynus and the Lily Statue, who were the trio’s foes I faced not long ago. They were far superior beings compared to the Kraken, Scorpio, and the Demon of Space.
It’s bizarre that such entities are coming out as enemies in this dungeon.
‘Does the Master of the Altar not fall under the Administrator’s constraints?’
According to Immensus, the owner of the Growth’s Altar, the Masters of the Altar are all in confinement.
They are under the Administrator’s control and can’t recklessly exert power or perform abnormal actions towards users.
Yet, the Altar Master presumed to be Intio is pouring out strong foes and relentlessly pushing me.
I put my spear away and drew my unique weapon, the hammer.
“…I don’t know what’s what, but this might be a good thing.”
-…?
The stronger the opponent, the greater the rewards I gain.
I don’t know why they aren’t bound by the Administrator’s constraints, but it’s not a bad situation for me.
‘But I don’t really need to overdo it.’
The air turns into blood.
“Lasty.”
Drip… splat!
Lasty slid down riding on a casket that emerged from the gaping blood void.
She looked at me once and then turned her gaze to the two twins holding swords.
“Those are the twins.”
“Yeah. Can you handle them?”
“What about you?”
“I…”
I look down.
Even though Lasty has come out and the statues and attacks are clashing, the Lily Statue is still doing its part.
The Lily Statue shot a quick glance at me before turning the spear that was aimed at the Kraken towards me.
“I’ll take care of that one.”
