Chapter 375: Eighty-Sixth Floor, Shrine of the Forgotten Gods (1)
[Infuse the shrine with divinity. Time remaining: 2 minutes 57 seconds.]
It took me roughly two seconds to organize my thoughts and make my way toward the altar. Thanks to Flash Strike, I moved swiftly.
I planned to call for Ha Hee-Jeong and Gehenna only after I saw my opponent firsthand. There was still a chance I could handle this alone.
Walking along the short path lit by blue torches on either side, I ascended the stairs. Upon reaching the top, I took in the altar’s appearance.
That is strange.
Countless translucent divine lights surrounded the altar, each glowing a different hue. It was a remarkable sight.
I stepped in front of the altar. It was about hip-height, and there was a shallow indentation at the center. I immediately realized that I was supposed to channel my divinity into it.
There is no time to waste.
I placed my palm over the hollow and pushed my divinity into it. At that moment, Flash Strike naturally came to an end.
The divinity I released was drawn into the altar as if absorbed by some unseen force.
Watching the energy vanish, I began to understand why the message said I could receive power from friendly gods. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of the divine lights surrounding me had begun to slowly gather near the altar.
They hovered close by, drifting around as if examining my divinity. Their movements were subtle and deliberate, like entities quietly observing and probing.
