Chapter 185: 35th Floor: The Advent of Lee Do-hee
"Strike!! Don't let those who defiled our holy land leave alive!"
"Kill the heretics!"
"For Ellah!"
These weren't just some citizen militia.
Soldiers clad in chainmail and helmets, armed with shields and one-handed swords, stormed in.
As if they knew everyone here was a follower of the Muion Cult, they attacked everyone in sight.
But the Muion cultists didn't just stand by and get slaughtered.
From somewhere, they produced long spears and axes and fought back.
"How dare you enter this place! How dare you set foot in our holy land!"
"Fight back! Protect the Saint Mother!"
"For Yula!!"
A gruesome battle of slaughter unfolded in the grand hall.
A fight between fanatics and fanatics.
Without a single step of retreat, driven by the sole desire to kill even one more enemy, they stabbed and slashed, shedding their own blood.
The attackers were better armed, but the cultists who had been worshiping here far outnumbered them.
This massive hall must have been an important place, as everyone fought desperately without giving an inch.
'But why are they both calling this place a holy land?'
Lee Do-hee didn't know it yet, but the Yula and Ellah they spoke of were the same god.
Over about 2,000 years of isolation from each other, the pronunciation drifted, and as scriptures were transcribed in that state, the name itself changed completely.
The biggest reason for their split was the advent of Yula.
The believers who thought Yula's past descent in a human body was a divine advent and those who dismissed it as the work of a charlatan had split into east and west, and were now fighting. In truth, they were all followers of the same god.
That's why, like North and South Korea, they could understand each other's language, and their important religious sites, like holy cities and holy lands, overlapped. These two sects were destined to fight.
"Quickly, escort the Saint Mother!!"
When the apostle pointed at me and gave the order, the men who had just been raping me snapped to their senses and pulled me to my feet.
Drip...
Semen trickled down from my pussy and ass. I clutched my head, which felt muddled as if by an aphrodisiac, and focused my mind.
'This is my chance. If I get kidnapped and taken to their base, I'll really become a machine for getting pregnant and birthing babies...'
But my arms were already seized again by two cultists.
'I have to get out of here somehow. Think, brain, think...!'
I resisted as much as I could, but I was dragged away by the men's strength. In this frail woman's body, I couldn't fight back against them.
'No, even if it costs me my life, I have to do it here!'
They weren't expecting me to fight back at all.
It's now or never!
I craned my neck and bit down hard on the back of the hand of the man holding my right arm.
CRUNCH!!!
"Gyaaaah!"
My right arm was free.
I kicked the screaming man to knock him over, and used the momentum to shove the one on my left.
But,
"How dare this bitch!"
The large man on my left didn't even budge from my surprise shove. He wrapped his arm around my neck and started to choke me.
But in doing so, he left both of my hands completely free.
As if I'd been waiting for this moment, I grabbed his balls and squeezed hard!
We were both naked from the frantic sex just moments before. As I gripped both of his balls tightly in my hands, he screamed and pulled back.
"Gyaaaaaaaah!!"
If I were an enemy he had to kill, he would have just choked me harder or snapped my neck. But to them, I was something like a Saint Mother (?). I used the fact that they couldn't kill me carelessly to put him in an impossible situation.
My strength wasn't enough to make them pop, but he clutched his balls and crumpled forward.
"Where do you think you're going!"
In that moment, the man I had kicked rushed at me.
'Damn it, what am I supposed to do with this pathetic body!!'
First, I ran.
Where to?
Straight into the battlefield of blood and slaughter!!
Using my small, agile body, I weaved through the crowd. I heard shouts of 'Saint Mother!' from those who suddenly saw a naked woman, but by the time they realized what was happening, I was already out of their grasp.
But that didn't last long.
"What are you all doing! Catch the runaway Saint Mother!!!!"
'Damn it...'
I thought I'd be fine, lost in the noise of the battle, but someone's booming voice echoed through the hall.
The Muion cultists holding weapons near me turned around.
"Saint Mother! Where are you going!!"
The man with the spear right in front of me turned and reached for me.
'This guy... he's slow. Maybe... it's possible.'
Could I really fight in this pathetic body?
The memory of being so pathetically subdued on the first day when I tried to fight with a kitchen knife was shocking enough to be almost traumatic.
I could see everything and react to it all, but the problem was that my body was too slow.
But still,
'I am Lee Do-hee... a woman who lives and dies by the spear! I can't give up here!!'
Twisting my shoulder, I deflected the man's slowly reaching hand and aimed a knee at his balls.
I know how much it hurts, so I feel a little bad, but this is the only way I can beat a man.
THWACK!!
"Guek!!!"
I snatched the spear from him as he naturally crumpled.
My body was incredibly sluggish, and the spear was heavy.
Even so, with practiced footwork, I thrust the spear into the center of the man trying to ambush me from behind!
A clean, precise thrust.
I used my entire body. Pivoting on my foot, I drew power up from the ground, twisted my waist, and pierced a single point.
THUNK!!
"Geok!"
The man reacted to my unexpected thrust, but it was too late. Unable to stop his forward momentum, he impaled himself on my spear.
"Keuk..."
I hadn't even pierced clean through his torso, just punched a hole in his chest, but the recoil was immense. My wrist throbbed.
But this was just the beginning.
From all sides, the cultists began to close in, wary.
"Saint Mother!! We've been lenient enough. Put down the spear now!"
When I didn't lower the spear and instead took a defensive stance, they closed the distance.
'If I don't have the strength, I'll just have to gather it!'
I spun the spear in the air.
It felt like my muscles were tearing, but I swung at the perfect moment, using the destructive power amplified by centrifugal force, and sliced the necks of the two men approaching from the front.
SLICE!
It wasn't an instantly fatal blow, but it was enough to make them combat-ineffective as blood poured from their necks.
But they didn't just stand there.
THWACK!!
"Kngh!!"
Someone struck my back with the shaft of a spear.
The sudden pain took my breath away and I almost collapsed, but I gritted my teeth, endured it, and kept the spear spinning.
I continued the spear's rotation around my body, and it sliced across the chest of the man coming from behind.
"Aargh! Be careful!"
"Damn it, what the hell is with this bitch!!"
My opponents didn't die, but they collapsed from their injuries, automatically forming a human barricade.
"The first one to approach me, I'll take down with me!!"
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!!
The viciously spinning spear.
Her naked, glistening pussy and jiggling tits were visible, but her spirit was greater than that of any hero.
The culmination of a single life.
She had crossed the boundary between life and death countless times.
To survive, she had taken the breath of more people than she could count.
A menacing, formless aura radiated from her.
Gulp...
But some things can't be solved by spirit alone.
"Hoo... It can't be helped. Men! Don't kill her! As long as her torso is intact so we can get her pregnant, it's fine!!"
At his words, as if by a signal, the cultists rushed in from all sides at once.
Slice, slice!
Their bodies were cut by the spinning spear, but they charged forward regardless! They rushed in even as they died, as if trying to stop the spear with their own bodies.
"Fear not! If you die in this holy war, you shall go to heaven!!!"
I had underestimated the madness of fanatics.
These were fanatics who prioritized their religious values over their own survival instincts.
No matter how well I fought, no matter how much I overwhelmed them with my presence, it wasn't going to work.
In an instant, I was caught in a chaotic melee with the cultists.
I pushed my body to its limits, slashing and stabbing my enemies, but with this sluggish body, I couldn't kill all the cultists who were pushing in from all sides like thick human meat shields.
Instead of swinging their weapons with large motions, they shoved me with their bodies and kicked me to break my balance.
The spear's rotation stopped, and the frail woman's body was pushed around and beaten. Unable to withstand the men's brutish strength, the force drained from my body with each impact.
Someone choked me from behind, and a swarm of men grabbed my arms, legs, and chest.
"Kngh..."
'Is this... how I...!'
The Saion Cult's warriors were still a long way off. Perhaps they hadn't expected over a thousand Muion cultists, because the battle was surprisingly sluggish.
It was a desperate, hopeless moment with no way out...
A god descends.
"Eh...?"
KWAAAAANG!!!
A pink aura pierced through the ceiling above me, creating a shockwave that sent the men restraining me flying.
My body rose about three meters into the air, and I could feel it filling with divine power.
"What the...?"
"Ooooh!! This is!"
"Who in the world is she!!"
"A god...?"
Every cultist in the hall stopped fighting and looked up at me.
'What in the world is happening...?'
Just then, status messages, something I hadn't been able to see on the 35th floor, began to flood in.
[Ding~]
[Lewd Power has reached 10,000.]
[The Fragment of Divinity is beginning to blossom.]
[Religious Reformation is now possible. Please establish the doctrine of the religion.]
[A new Lewd Power Trait has been unlocked.]
'W-what? No, the system was definitely blocked, so how is this...?'
"Ah......!"
The first thought that came to my mind when I saw this was...
'You got breached by another fucking bug, you administrators!!'
If there's a program, it means there's a programmer.
The system itself might be perfect, but the administrators who manage the Tower's system are incredibly sloppy.
It seems stable now that it's been patched up a lot, but when we were first dragged here and started the trials, it felt like a shitty, bug-ridden game.
How should I put it? It felt like a game's test server? A beta service? Something like that.
The Tower's rules changed often, and they'd even suddenly nerf things if they found a calculation error or an overpowered trait.
Of course, very few people experienced this directly.
People like me, who challenged the highest floors.
Among the 101 reasons I want to destroy the Tower, rollbacks due to bugs, having rewards given and then taken away, and rule changes made up a significant portion.
In the old days, this kind of thing happened a lot, especially on the 35th floor.
There was a time when someone contracted with the 'Pantheon's Owner' Constellation used viewer donations to fire a machine gun during a medieval-era trial, and there were many other problems, like items stored inside one's stomach suddenly working when taken out.
Anyway, the important thing is that I've been hit by one of those fucking bugs, and now something has happened.
The cause was easy to guess.
'Ah... someone outside is fucking my onahole, so my Lewd Power surpassed 10,000!'
My Lewd Power, which was over 9,000, had been steadily rising since the 32nd floor and finally reached 10,000.
What's the point of erasing my existing traits? They didn't block me from getting new ones? Or maybe they couldn't block unique traits?
Anyway, the dumbass Tower administrators have fucked up again.
'Hahahahahaha!! Serves you right! You should have made it properly the first time!'
To be fair, the administrators probably have their own grievances.
How the hell does someone gain a trait in the middle of a trial? Traits are obviously rewards you get for clearing a trial!
In the first place, blossoming a unique trait and obtaining a Fragment of Divinity below the 50th floor is basically a weird bug.
'I can feel it. My body is full of divine power.'
I checked to see what had happened, and...
- Unlocked at 10,000+ Lewd Power. (Unlocked)
<Lewd Divinity>: Allows you to use all Lewd Power as divine power.
So... I just got 10,000 divine power?
"......All hail fucking bugs."
A sense of omnipotence flowed through my body.
Although I had no other traits or skills and my stats were at their base level, with this immense divine power, I felt like I could do anything.
And seeing this incredible sight, all the cultists fell to their knees and raised their hands to the sky, as if welcoming a god.
Their battle with each other was no longer necessary. No, it was meaningless.
Because their scriptures said that when their god descended, they would judge everyone.
"Lady Yula... has she descended using the Saint Mother's body!!!"
"No! Lord Ellah has finally descended!!"
But their opinions were divided, and each side shouted that their own god had descended.
This was inevitable.
This very hall was the holy city and holy land for both religions.
It was the birthplace of both the Saion and Muion Cults, the place where Yula prophesied she would return after her death, the place where Ellah was prophesied to descend... anyway, etcetera, etcetera, a very important place!
And in such a place, the sky suddenly tore open, and a mysterious pink aura enveloped a woman as if to protect her, leaving her floating gently in the air. What else could it be?
To those who had been engrossed in the fight, it simply looked as if she had descended from the heavens.
And she even descended naked in the middle of a battlefield?
They didn't know what it was, but it had to be some great divine being.
And these cultists were the type to have memorized all of their scriptures. Among those countless verses, could there not be one that perfectly fit this situation?
Of course there was.
All they had to do was make it fit.
"Genesis Chronicles, Chapter 1, Verse 3... 'One day I shall reappear in the cradle of the beginning... Do not be surprised if my form has changed.'"
"Gospel of Resina, Chapter 1, Verse 7... 'I shall descend before you in my holy form, and I will come to save you in your time of greatest need.'"
You too? Me too!
"????"
"????"
This woman is Yula, who descended into our Saint Mother's body! The prophecy is a little different, but it came true anyway!
No, our god Ellah simply descended as promised!
""??????""
The woman in pink light continued to look down on the believers in silence.
After a brief lull, someone boldly asked.
"W-who are you?"
