“First of all….”

I define my ability as the power to change things that are not beneficial or less beneficial to the user into something beneficial.

Although it may seem like a simple self-suggestion, my ability is actually undergoing a transformation.

If I had a different ability, such an easy modification would not have been possible, but utilizing the unique characteristics of my ability allowed for a quick adjustment.

“Next….”

I strongly willed the definition of contamination resistance to be the power to block and suppress anything negative to the user or anything the user rejects, and to weaken it.

Then, using my will, I familiarized myself with controlling and managing contamination resistance by using a bit of the source to strengthen or weaken contamination resistance, and even tried using it directly.

“Now, it’s enough…!”

Feeling confident that I had become accustomed to using contamination resistance enough, I focused on contaminating my body completely and making it truly mine.

“Like splashing red blood in a large puddle….”

Contamination resistance sensed the contamination like a shark and tried to rush in to eliminate it,

But there was a skilled trainer on top of it, and the red substance that I thought was blood was actually paint, so as not to excite the shark, I made sure it did not stimulate the shark at all.

It was an abstract task done through imagination, but it clearly showed that it had an effect.

“I’m getting contaminated…!”

My body was gradually getting stronger according to my will and was transmitting unknown information.

Continuing to imagine and soothing contamination resistance so that the user does not resist contamination, I was able to satisfactorily confirm that contaminating over 30% of my body yielded good results.

– The skill ‘Contamination Resistance’ evolves.

– The ability ‘Contamination’ is enhanced.

As soon as those messages appeared, I was able to contaminate my entire body and feel that the abilities related to contamination had become stronger.

“Now it’s possible!”

Contrary to expectations, the celestial being, who had achieved even greater growth, immediately began to attack the reaper instead of avoiding it as before.

“My body is faster now!”

For an ordinary human, it is normal for various parts of the body to move in response to commands coming from the head.

But the current celestial being deleted the intermediate process of transmitting commands through the reconstruction of the body due to contamination.

Therefore, with the manifestation of will, the body moved simultaneously, allowing for faster and stronger movements as it ruthlessly battered the hard armor covering the reaper’s cloak.

Thud thud thud thud!

The sound of a human fist colliding with metal armor repeatedly rang out.

Clang-

The armor of the guy, which had maintained a perfect form and boasted of its strength, split wide open, indicating his crisis.

Fwoosh-

The guy quickly depleted his strength to repair the armor, but with his greatly diminished strength, he smiled confidently, dodged the guy’s attack that he couldn’t possibly withstand, and launched a powerful attack.

Boom!

With a sound like an explosion, the guy’s armor caved in.

“Final…!”

Using my abilities to heal muscles and body tissues destroyed by surpassing limits, I gathered what little strength remained in my fist and struck the guy mercilessly before his armor could fully recover.

Fwoosh-

Exhausting all my strength at the limit, I watched as the guy turned to dust and disappeared, breathing a sigh of relief and quickly rotating my head to grasp the sudden situation.

“My vision is blocked by the unknown… my ability, contamination, is blocked…”

Fighting against a sudden opponent and trying to understand the enhanced ability in this world or contaminate it, I faced strong resistance and received a powerful shock to my body.

Feeling strong anxiety in an environment I couldn’t comprehend, I quickly realized that there was nothing I could do and sat down, attempting to meditate.

“Phew….”

If there is nothing you can do, you may feel anxious and scared, but you have no choice but to grow until you overcome this situation.

Therefore, rather than hastily using my abilities to understand this world, I used my head to comprehend and navigate through it.

“I am the one who makes up this world.”

Imagining myself flying through vast space, I focused my mind.

“It’s similar to the new world I create and rule.”

Already, I felt that this space, where many people gather to live, and the roots of this new world are not so different.

“The reason I cannot grasp or feel my own world is because…”

With a strong desire to know more about this world, I manifested my abilities.

“Because I don’t want to do that…”

As a result, the world that was hidden in darkness began to reveal itself, like shedding its skin.

“The universe…?”

As I closed my eyes and concentrated, I felt an environment that closely resembled the appearance of the universe that I had seen in books or on the internet.

Countless planets and the inexplicable power emanating from various places overwhelmed me in an instant.

“Ugh…”

Struggling against the force that had frozen me like a frog in front of a snake, I slowly opened my eyes.

“Haak, haa…”

What I saw was the familiar ceiling.

I saw the sight of my room where I slept and rested.

“Ugh…”

Forcing myself to get up with a groggy body, I realized that the pollution resistance that had been present until just before I went to sleep had disappeared, enhancing my abilities.

“What kind of dream is this…”

Still trying to clear my foggy mind, Cheonsang-il went to the bathroom to shower and then headed to the dining hall to have breakfast unusually early at 6 a.m.

Accompanied by Jang Cheonsu, who was writing down every action of mine, I went outside the new world to deal with zombies and play the role of a savior.

By converting some of the gathered faith into points, I increased all my physical abilities to Grade C and invested points to raise my intelligence and mental abilities to Grade C as well.

“I know you may be confused, but rest assured.”

“The fallen paper… has been saved…!”

“Ah, as expected of Cheonsang-il…!”

“Wow!”

Even in the process of curing and turning zombies into humans, thanks to the faith that those who had already been cured had in me, I could see a rapid growth in the level of faith.

Humbly raising my hand to the cheering crowd, I accelerated the growth of faith, then quickly sensed the presence of people in the distance, silenced them, and swiftly moved to their location.

“Family?”

Three people running away as if fleeing were a young man, a woman in her late thirties, and a young girl who seemed too young to be in elementary school.

[Lv_6 Infection Resistance]

[Lv_4 Ice Arrow]

Uses mana to shoot arrows made of ice.

[Lv_10 Happy Sanctuary]

Uses mana to create a sanctuary that brings happiness.

These are the awakening skills of the man, woman, and child, respectively.

The man chops off the heads of zombies with an axe, the woman shoots arrows into the heads of zombies using her abilities, and the child watches the man’s battle from behind the woman.

Joining their fight and incapacitating all the zombies, Cheonsang-il created a bright light behind them using his abilities and slowly approached them.

“Where did you come from?”

As the adults looked at me with fearful eyes after I swiftly dealt with 20 zombies using eight knives, I turned my gaze to the woman behind the female adult and asked again.

“Kid, where did you come from?”

“Over there…”

The adults were taken aback and shielded the child, but I could accurately pinpoint where the child was pointing.

“Did you come from the department store?”

“Yilseo! Stop it!”

“Hiccup….”

The man shouted loudly at the child, causing the child to startle and sniffle with a frightened expression. The woman tried to comfort the child, and the man turned to me and asked a question.

“Who are you?”

“I am an imperfect god.”

“God…?”

The eyes that were once filled with fear at my unexpected answer suddenly turned into a contemptuous glare, as if looking at a madman.

“Since the other gods have abandoned Earth, I have taken on the role of a savior to protect humanity.”

He then introduced the people who had been hiding behind him, waiting for my command.

“They were once turned into zombies, but received my salvation and became human again.”

“Yes, believe in the Heavenly God and receive salvation quickly.”

“That’s right! If you stay by the side of the Heavenly God, you can go to heaven.”

Watching them agree with my words, I smiled slightly and looked at the group of five people rushing towards me, who I had been feeling approaching rapidly for a while.

“Wait.”

A man with a friendly appearance raised his hand, causing the footsteps of the men following him to come to a complete halt, and we found ourselves in a standoff.

[Mutation]

[Lv_7 Summon Flame Beetle]

The man and woman, now startled to see those who had been chasing them, prepared for battle, and the man who seemed to be the leader of the group that had followed them approached me slowly and greeted me alone.
